Years turn into wind

Chapter 72 Conspiracy

This warm moment allowed Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei to relax a bit, but they also knew that Liu Jingyao would never give up. Ling Xiaotian decided to send more people to closely monitor her every move.

Meanwhile, Liu Jingyao secretly began to plot a new conspiracy. Knowing she couldn't defeat Ling Xiaotian on the battlefield, she set her sights on a more covert operation. One of her trusted associates, along with several spies, quietly infiltrated Ling Xiaotian's camp.

A few days later, while discussing the war situation, Cheng Yuwei suddenly discovered something unusual about a document regarding the transportation of grain and fodder. After careful analysis, she realized that the document might have been tampered with, and she immediately became alert.

"Ling Xiaotian, someone is secretly exerting influence in the army. I'm afraid it's Liu Jingyao's doing." She told Ling Xiaotian her discovery.

Ling Xiaotian frowned and sneered, "As expected, they arrived quickly. Since she sent people to secretly cause trouble, it's time for us to take action."

After careful planning, Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei set a trap and deliberately revealed false information about a batch of supplies in order to lure out the hidden spy.

As expected, the undercover spy, upon learning of the false information, quickly relayed it back to Liu Jingyao's camp. A few days later, an enemy force raided the supply route, only to find it empty. This series of missteps severely dampened Liu Jingyao's morale, and Ling Xiaotian successfully identified the spy hiding among him.

He arrested the spies one by one, using the false information they passed on to constantly disrupt Liu Jingyao's plans. As time went on, Liu Jingyao gradually lost his patience and sent people to spy on the defenses of the Marshal's Mansion several times, but none of them succeeded.

During this tense period, Cheng Yuwei's relationship with Ling Xiaotian slowly shifts. She gradually realizes she's not alone in this turbulent world, and that someone will risk everything for her. Ling Xiaotian also discovers that this woman, a time traveler from the modern era, is not only incredibly intelligent but also a source of support and motivation.

One night, Ling Xiaotian returned to the Marshal's Mansion from his military tent. Cheng Yuwei was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, gazing at the night sky. Seeing him return, Cheng Yuwei smiled faintly and whispered, "Tonight's night is so beautiful, it seems as if the war has faded away."

Ling Xiaotian sat down beside her, taking in this rare tranquility. He smiled slightly and whispered, "This world is never peaceful, but with you around, everything seems easier."

Cheng Yuwei turned her head and looked at him tenderly: "Will we finally be able to get rid of these disputes one day?"

Ling Xiaotian didn't answer, his eyes filled with complexity. He gently held her hand and said softly, "If one day I could spend an ordinary day with you, that would be my greatest wish."

Cheng Yuwei's heart stirred, and she suddenly felt that these words were a promise. She slowly leaned on Ling Xiaotian's shoulder, and the two of them sat quietly, enjoying this moment of peace. However, just as they were immersed in this warmth, a guard hurried over, breaking the tranquility.

"General, I just received news that Liu Jingyao has sent people deep into the city, suspected of plotting a larger conspiracy."

Hearing the guard's report, Ling Xiaotian frowned and immediately stood up, saying coldly, "She really has no intention of stopping."
