Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Wei Yang returned to the palace, but when she was standing on the tower, she was also seen by Mu Dai who was not far away. Mu Dai, who was originally talking to Wei Chao, brushed the whisk in his hand after seeing Wei Yang, turned his head and said something to the little soldier beside him. Then, the enemy's horn of retreat sounded again.

"Withdrawal again?"

"what's the situation?"

Everything was within Xiao Zuochen's expectations. He knew that this war could not be fought at all, and he would face new difficulties.

"You eunuch named Mu! If you have the guts, come fight me squarely. Don't just hide behind and act like a dog with five thousand soldiers!"

Mushiro chuckled and said in his shrill voice.

"Wei Chao, don't think that just because someone calls you a general, you are really a general. Everything you have now is nothing more than thanks to your sister and brother-in-law. Without the Shura Army beside you, what would you stand here with? Besides, even if you beat me, what does it matter? You also said that I am just a eunuch, what do you have to be proud of?"

"you!"

Wei Chao didn't expect that Mu Dai would actually laugh at him, and every word he said was a thorn in his heart.

"Hmph~ I think you should just go home and find your sister!"

Mu Dai turned around and rode away. Wei Chao was so angry that he picked up the bow and arrow on his back and shot at Mu Dai's back.

"Whoosh-"

Although Wei Chao only used 70% of his strength in this arrow, it would have been a fatal blow to an ordinary person!

But even such an arrow that could break through the wind was dodged by Mu Dai who tilted his head without even turning his head, and the arrow flew past his ear.

Wei Chao was shocked, and even Xiao Zuochen on the city wall paused. He now understood why Emperor Mingren always took Mu Dai with him wherever he went. It turned out that Mu Dai knew martial arts!

Mu Dai turned his head and glanced at Wei Chao, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to leave.

But Wei Chao seemed to have received a blow. He stood there in a daze. Finally, he was dragged back to the city by his personal guards.

Xiao Zuochen knew that Wei Chao was deeply hurt, but he had no time to counsel him. He was just about to send Yun Feng to discuss with Yun Bai and Yun Qiao to go deep into the enemy camp to search for the whereabouts of the two concubines before dark. At this time, Yun Bai and Yun Qiao came in a hurry.

"master!"

The two saluted, and then one of them spoke.

"Empress Yun and the Queen...are missing!"

"What? When did it happen?"

"Today, when Yunfeng asked us to search for the robbers, we took a look into the yard and happened to hear the Queen and Concubine Yun preparing to take a nap. So when we came back, we saw that the house was dimly lit with only one lamp on, so we didn't think much about it. And..."

Yunbai and Yunqiao looked at each other and hesitated.

"And what?"

"In order to make sure they were still in the house, we even opened the door and took a peek. Although we knew it was wrong, we had no other choice but to take a peek. We definitely didn't peek at anything else!"

Yun Bai and Yun Qiao lowered their heads as they spoke, like children who had done something wrong.

"Were they there at the time?"

The two looked at each other again.

"It seemed like it was there..."

"What do you mean by as if!?"

Xiao Zuochen was already a little angry.

"Because we saw someone was sleeping on the bed, we didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until the servant brought dinner and no one answered that we realized there was no one on the bed..."

Xiao Zuochen took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

"Let's talk about it later, back at the house!"

A group of people returned to Xiao Zuochen's room on the city wall. The room was originally just used for sleeping, but now it seemed extremely crowded because there were too many people.

Xiao Zuochen sat beside the desk, while Yun Feng and the others dared only stand there, staring at each other.

"Do you know what happened today?"

Xiao Zuochen sighed and asked.

Several people stood aside and nodded.

"Since you all know it, I won't say any more."

Xiao Zuochen paused for a moment. All these things happened at the same time, which made him feel a little depressed.

"Master, then we are going to ignore the concubines?"

Yun Feng asked tentatively.

"And the Queen and Concubine Yun..."

Xiao Zuochen looked at Yun Feng with a bad look, then at Yun Qiao and Yun Bai.

"You don't have to talk about this again. The more you talk about it, the angrier I get."

When they heard this, they quickly shut their mouths.

Xiao Zuochen took a deep breath through his nose and spoke.

"Don't you understand? It's obvious that these things are not put together on the spur of the moment."

A few people looked at each other, and soon seemed to understand what their master meant.

"Although the enemy has brought more than 20,000 troops, they have no actual combat experience. They will not be able to win if they want to fight us on the battlefield. Emperor Mingren also knows this, so he began to avoid the battlefield, leaving only troops to interfere with our sight. And his real plan is to create chaos within our side so that we will lose our composure!"

Yun Bai was the first to figure out the relationship here. Xiao Zuochen nodded to indicate that he was right, and Yun Feng then added another question.

"But there are Shura troops in front of Wangyan City, and Wangyan City's own soldiers guarding the back. If the enemy wants to complete this series of tricks, they must enter the city first, so..."

Yun Feng looked at his master, and seemed to have received his encouragement before he dared to continue speaking.

"So, there is a spy in the city!"

After these words were spoken, they looked at each other again until Xiao Zuochen spoke.

"From outside the city to the Ying Mansion, from the Ying Mansion to the City Lord's Mansion, and from the City Lord's Mansion back to outside the city. In one case, if this spy is someone in the mansion, he must have been lurking for a long time and has gained the trust of me or my sister. And it's not just one person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to know the situation in both mansions at the same time.

In another case, the spy is in a high position and has great power. He can come and go freely in the City Lord's Mansion, and Mr. Tong Ying is also familiar with him. In this way, he can control the overall situation by himself."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he swept his eyes across the faces of the people in front of him, making them nervous for a moment.

"Master, I didn't betray you! It was my fault that I didn't find the concubine. I will accept any punishment you give me, but you can't doubt me~"

Xiao Zuochen heard Yun Feng speaking with grievance and rolled his eyes at him.

"Of course I don't doubt you, nor do I doubt them. It's just that something went wrong internally, and I need you to observe more in secret."

"Master, do you have any suspects now?"

Xiao Zuochen was silent for a while and nodded.

"There has been an obvious change in the number of people entering and leaving the West City Gate today, but the West City Gate Guard Wang Mian did not notice it in time and let people leave the city. I am very suspicious of him now, so you have to help me keep an eye on him!"

"Yes!"

"Master, the concubine and the queen..."

"The concubines will not be in danger. Xiao Zuoming still needs them to negotiate with me. As for the queen and the others, there is no need to rush to find them. When General Bai knows they are missing, he will naturally send people to look for them. There is no need to rush.

Now, we just have to wait for Xiao Zuoming to send someone to negotiate."

"Yes!"
