Accidentally dressed as an empress

Lin Zichen watched Su Qing escort the soldier away, wondering if there was someone else behind this soldier. This spy thing might not be that simple.

Yunxiu learned that Su Qing had arrested a suspicious person and said to Zhong Yi, "It seems that things are gradually turning around. As long as we find the real spy, we can clear our suspicion."

Su Da was still a little worried, "I'm afraid they'll torture him into confessing and use that soldier as a scapegoat, and then we won't be able to escape responsibility."

Zhong Yi shook her head. "Lin Zichen is not that kind of person. She will definitely find out the truth."

Su Qing left the tent and locked up the soldier suspected of espionage. Then he turned around and hurried towards the remote corner again.

That corner is located on the edge of the military camp. Few people go there on weekdays. It is surrounded by weeds and rocks, exuding a mysterious and slightly gloomy atmosphere.

Su Qing did not miss any place where there might be clues. She bent over and searched carefully inch by inch.

Suddenly, behind a huge rock, a strange color caught her attention.

She quickly squatted down and reached out to push away the weeds around her, only to see a piece of cloth with a special mark lying there quietly.

She carefully picked up the strip of cloth, stood up, and held it up to her eyes, examining it carefully in the dim light. The markings were intricate and intricate, exuding an indescribable strangeness.

Su Qing frowned, feeling that the mark seemed familiar, like a shadow deep in her memory, but for a moment, her mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and she could not remember where she had seen it.

Su Qing no longer hesitated. She carefully put away the cloth strip and returned to the tent with a heart full of doubts.

Inside the tent, Lin Zichen and Lin Ziqi were discussing military affairs. Su Qing stepped forward and respectfully presented them with the cloth strips.

Lin Zichen reached out to take the cloth strip, and as soon as his eyes fell on the mark, he was filled with doubts.

That mark does look like a secret code of a certain organization, but there are many people coming and going in this military camp, and the various forces are complicated. Which organization does it belong to?

Lin Zichen stared at the mark on the cloth, a thoughtful glint in her eyes. After a moment, she slowly said, "It seems we should start with the mark on this cloth. If we investigate this organization, we may be able to find clues to the spy. This mark must have been accidentally left behind by the spy."

This is a key breakthrough point. If we can follow the clues through this mark and find out the organization behind it, then the spies in the military camp will have nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Su Qing felt a strong sense of mission in her heart. She stepped forward and volunteered, "General, I am willing to investigate the origin of this mark."

After listening to Su Qing's words, Lin Zichen pondered for a moment, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and said, "Okay, but you have to be more careful."

Su Qing's expression was firm. He clasped his fists in salute and said in a resonant voice, "Yes, General. I will proceed with caution. I will investigate the origin of this mark thoroughly and eliminate the hidden dangers in the military camp."

Su Qing left the tent. To unlock the secret of the mysterious mark on the cloth, he had to start with the veterans in the camp. These veterans had been through hundreds of battles and had experienced the baptism of time. They were knowledgeable and perhaps someone among them would recognize the mark.

Her eyes searched the military camp and soon found one of the most senior soldiers in the army.

The old soldier was a bit hunched, but his eyes showed the determination of a veteran. Su Qing walked forward respectfully and handed the cloth to the old soldier.

The old soldier slowly took the cloth strip, pinched it gently with his rough fingers, then raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully again and again.

I saw that the mark on the cloth was a pattern embroidered with dark silk thread.

The overall shape is similar to an irregular circle, but there are several sharp protrusions on the edge of the circle, like the shape of some kind of flower.

In the center of the circle is a cross. The lines of the cross are uneven in thickness, as if it was embroidered hastily by trembling hands, but also as if it was done intentionally with a special meaning.

There is a tiny triangle at the intersection of the cross. The color of the triangle is slightly darker than the surrounding dark black threads, like a drop of coagulated blood.

Several thin lines extended from the triangle, spreading out like spider web threads and connecting with the sharp protrusions on the circular edge.

These lines are not straight, but slightly curved, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark and moving quietly.

At the outermost edge of the mark, there is a circle of faint light gray lines. These lines look like they have been smoked, adding a mysterious and weird atmosphere to the entire mark.

Suddenly, the old soldier's expression changed, and his originally calm face instantly became serious.

"Captain Su, I've seen this mark before. It's the mark of an outlandish organization that was wiped out in Xiling many years ago." The veteran's voice was filled with surprise and confusion. "But this organization has been gone for a long time. How could it appear again?"

"Is this... a Mandragora?" Su Qing finally remembered why it felt familiar. She had seen this pattern when she was tracking down a spy organization in Lingyun City.

The old soldier replied: "No, this totem is older than the Mandragora totem."

When Su Qing heard the news, he was shocked.

An organization that has been wiped out has revived. There must be some hidden secrets and a huge conspiracy behind it. This conspiracy is like a thick dark cloud, covering the sky above the military camp.

Su Qing hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the old soldier, then turned around and hurried back to the tent.

Inside the tent, Lin Zichen and his lieutenants were discussing the matter of spies.

Without even taking a breath, Su Qing told them the news he got from the veteran.

Lin Zichen's already furrowed brows furrowed even tighter, his eyes filled with gravity as he said, "It seems this spy is part of a conspiracy against us. This is of great importance. We must prepare as soon as possible and must not let the enemy succeed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin San's face was filled with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. "Whoever dares to stir up trouble in our military camp will be made to pay a heavy price."

Yunxiu and Zhong Yi also heard the news, and Yunxiu had a bad feeling in her heart.

Zhong Yi saw Yunxiu's expression and comforted her, "A Xiu, everything will be fine."

Yunxiu smiled and now she could only wait for the results of Lin Zichen and the others' investigation.

Lin Zichen sent Lin San to interrogate the captured spy. The spy confessed that the external enemy wanted to obtain the defense map of the Xiling army in order to gain an advantage in the war.

Although this organization was wiped out, apart from the spy who was arrested, there are still some spies operating in secret.

Lin San reported all these situations to Lin Zichen and Lin Ziqi. Lin Zichen ordered to strengthen the security of the military camp and to check all suspicious persons. He must catch the spies in one fell swoop before they cause greater harm to protect the safety and confidentiality of the military camp.

While checking for suspicious persons, Su Qing discovered that a soldier's behavior was very strange.

She always wandered around some important places, with her eyes flickering and she didn't dare to look people in the eye.

Su Qing quietly approached the soldier and captured him when she was off guard.

After being captured, the soldier was so frightened that her face turned pale. Su Qing found a secret letter on her.

Su Qing brought the secret letter back to the tent. When Lin Zichen opened it, she was shocked by its contents.

It turned out that the plan of the foreign organization was to first steal the defense map, and then poison the army's food and supplies, putting the army in a desperate situation.

Lin Zichen slammed the table in anger, "These people are absolutely mad! Call all the military doctors in the camp and thoroughly check the food supplies!"

Yunxiu brought Zhou Jing to the door of the main tent and said, "General Lin, perhaps I can help."

Yunxiu had already asked the system which food and grass had been contaminated and told Zhou Jing the result.
