The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Based on the man's fragmentary description, Zuo Nian and Hua Ye marked the location where the message was delivered and the spies planted by the military's confidential department from his words.

"Watch, don't let him die!"

Zuo Nian walked out of the cell quickly with the unknown place and name in his hand, then turned around and dragged Hua Ye, who was playing with the torture instruments, out.

He grabbed the collar behind her neck and half lifted her up.

"Zuo Nian, do I still have any face? I am still the daughter of the general's mansion after all!"

She slapped his arm several times with her backhand and grabbed it several times, but he didn't let up at all.

"Where do you get the dignity you deserve? You're nothing more than a female bandit!"

"What's wrong with the bandits? As long as they can get the secret out of them!"

She thought of the idea of ​​branding the man's thing, her face slightly reddened, and she spoke with a sense of righteousness.

"You go back and rest first. I'll report to General Mu and General Hua and ask for their instructions."

After leaving the dungeon, Zuo Nian let go of her collar, gently straightened it, and persuaded her softly.

"No...you, you go and deal with it. I'm going home to rest first!"

Hua Ye originally wanted to eliminate the spy, but he clearly felt the heat surging from under his body, so he immediately changed his mind.

After saying that, he walked awkwardly towards the cave where he lived.

Seeing that she was unusually honest, Zuo Nian hurried to the command and operations department.

He rushed in despite being stopped, and saw Li Li sitting in the main seat.

General Mu stood in front of him like a pine tree, reporting to him the recent battle situation, while General Hua sat on a wooden chair beside him.

"I have something important to report!"

As soon as Zuo Nian entered the tent, he knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Major General Zuo, come in and speak!"

Li Li sat in the general's seat and waved to him.

The familiar and bright voice reached Zuo Nian's ears, and he spoke without even raising his head:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, I have discovered a group of spies planted in the military camp at the border!"

"Is there any substantial evidence?" Li Li asked.

"Is it true? A war is imminent. Without evidence, it would be difficult to convince the public and would even affect military morale!"

General Mu Lao's expression of disbelief and worry was truly fascinating! He pondered for a moment and continued:

"After all, most of the people in the military camp are brothers who have been through life and death together. To say that they are spies is hard to believe!"

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. This matter must be carefully considered."

General Hua took a tactical sip of water, frowned, and slowly stood up and spoke.

"This matter is really difficult to handle, but spies hiding in the army are often hidden dangers and must be eradicated!"

Li Li picked up the folding fan on the general's command table, opened it and fanned his chest.

"A major war is imminent, and we must eliminate them. If our deployment is revealed, the casualties will be even greater. General Mu, please reconsider."

General Hua patted General Mu on the shoulder, and seeing the conflicted and uneasy expression on his face, he gave orders on his own initiative.

"Zuo Nian, take a team of men and capture them by surprise. Imprison them in one place and torture them severely!"

"Yes, General Hua!"

He clasped his hands together and raised his head, looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and then at General Mu.

"Major General Zuo, please accept my order and leave!"

Li Li waved his hand and asked him to step aside and deal with this difficult matter.

"I want to check the military register to get a rough idea of ​​the men's appearances and figures. This will make it easier to take action!"

Zuo Nian stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly, clasped his hands together and asked for instructions, but his eagle-like eyes were fixed on the worried General Mu.

"Go into the General's study and check it out yourself!"

General Mu solemnly handed him the wooden sign on his waist and continued, "I have watched you grow up. You must not let me down."

"Thank you, General Mu! I will return the jade intact after I finish my work!"

Seeing that he had obtained the thing, Zuo Nian tactfully retreated.

He brought Hua Er and Hua San to the general's mansion to check the names and portraits.

Hua Er has a photographic memory and can read ten lines at a glance. He is an expert at marking papers. Hua San has a pair of skillful hands and can draw people with perfect accuracy.

Within two hours, he had found all the spies and copied their portraits one by one.

Taking advantage of the dim night, Zuo Nian summoned the small team that had accompanied him through life and death, and they masked their faces and moved separately to various military camps.

Overnight, some people disappeared without a trace in various places of the border troops.

Even the treasonous letter hidden under the dead tree outside the city gate was replaced with a fake one...
