C110 The Stolen Letter!

It hurt to breathe…

“Tell me!” Su Changsheng shouted, “Who told you to come?”

The spy gasped, “It was General Qin Rang who sent me. He said that he was worried that there was a trap in the West Province. He told me to burn your food to make you have nowhere to run.”

“Then how did you get in?”

The spy thought for a moment, “I, I just sneaked in when I wasn’t paying attention.”

“How dare you not tell the truth? How did you sneak in without a token? Who gave you the token?”

The spy said, “I picked it up casually!”

“It seems that you have not had enough punishment?” The red-hot branding iron poked his chest again, “If you dare to not tell the truth, I have a lot of ways to torture you.”

A hoarse howl sounded, and it sounded miserable.

Lan Qingqian covered her eyes and peeked through the gaps between her fingers. She murmured, “Why do I feel like I am being roasted? I really want to eat roasted meat. Vice General Su is even more like that when he sprinkles some chili salt on his meat.”

When the chili salt was sprinkled, the spy’s eyes turned red, “Oh, you are too vicious!”

Lan Qingqian held the chili salt and looked innocent, “Why don’t I add some salt to it?”

The spy was in so much pain that he was shivering. He kept huffing and puffing, “I said, I said, don’t add salt anymore!”

“It was General Qin Rang who gave it to me. He said that I only need to come in secret and hand it over. Someone will bring me in.”

“What does the person who brought you in look like? Tell me more about him. What are his characteristics?”

“He’s around my height and has a monkey face. He seems to have a birthmark on his neck.”

Lan Qingqian stared at him as if she was wondering if what he said was true or not.

After the spy was taken away, Lan Qingqian spoke, “What if he said it casually?”

Su Changsheng said, “I have an impression of the person he said. He is a soldier under General Li. I have seen him several times. He has a monkey face and looks like a bad person.”

“The real bad guy is Big Pig Li?” Lan Qingqian was surprised, “Then let’s go and catch him.”

Su Changsheng shook his head, “No, we don’t have enough evidence with just an outsider spy. General Li is also in the camp. Let’s not alert him and leave him here. We can talk about it when His Royal Highness comes back.”

He patted Gu Xiaojiu on the shoulder, “Don’t tell anyone else. You are the one who did this. Don’t worry, I will tell His Royal Highness. You can ask for any reward you want.”

Lan Qingqian listened seriously, “I want to eat roasted chicken. I want a whole chicken. The food in the camp is not very tasty!”

Su Changsheng felt helpless when he heard her words. She was indeed a child. She only thought about food.

“Okay. When His Royal Highness comes back, I will go to the nearby mountain to catch a wild chicken,” Su Changsheng promised.

“Okay.” Lan Qingqian was happy. Her eyebrows curved and revealed her white teeth.

The next morning, a letter came back. It said that the West Continent’s Navy Tide had joined forces with the East Continent’s Navy Tide, and they had already broken through the defense of the East Continent’s border. They had even retreated two cities.

Su Changsheng clapped his hands. “Good, good. This is also considered to have helped the West Continent get rid of a bad breath.”

Li Du Yuan was sitting on a chair far away, but he snorted coldly. “This is just the beginning. The East Continent didn’t ask for peace, so they will definitely defend and fight to the end. The battle after this is still hard to fight. Why are you so happy so early?”

Su Changsheng did not argue with him.Li Du Yuan was a muddleheaded and incompetent person. He did not have any ability. He had praised the East Continent’s request for peace, but the Seventh Prince was there, so he did not have the chance to speak.

Su Changsheng had thought that he was muddleheaded, but after what had happened last night, he felt that he was suspicious. If he had colluded with the East Continent, it was not impossible for him to speak for the East Continent.

In the next four to five days, Gu Jun’an and the others did not return. There were only occasional letters.

Su Changsheng prepared the grain and ordered people to send it over.

Lan Qingqian was strolling in the main tent. She thought about what Su Changsheng had said about Li Du Yuan being a spy, so she wanted to go and see if he had done anything bad.

She went to the back of his tent and used a knife to cut a small hole. She squatted and looked at Li Du Yuan.

She saw that he was talking to someone. He was shrinking his head and listening carefully as if he was being surrounded. Another soldier was holding a letter.

Lan Qingqian listened for a while and waited for Li Du to go out for dinner. Then she sneaked in and took out the letter that Li Du had hidden on the table. She then secretly went to look for Su Changsheng.

“What is written on the letter? I don’t know much. I saw the letter that Big Pig Li hid. He must have had a lot of secrets.”

Su Changsheng opened the letter and his face turned pale. He was shocked. “Is Li Du Yuan crazy? He dares to hide such a big thing?”

“What?” Lan Qingqian looked at him. Something big must have happened. She immediately thought of the old son-in-law and became anxious.

“The Navy Tide army was ambushed. The Seventh Prince sent half of his men to save the Navy Tide army. There seems to be a deal with the Yunluo Country. The Yunluo Country sent 30,000 soldiers to help. The Seventh Prince seems to be besieged.”

“What should we do?” Lan Qingqian was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She pulled Su Changsheng’s sleeve and said, “Su Changsheng, quickly take some men to save them.” Her eyes turned red.

Su Changsheng said, “But I can’t mobilize the remaining soldiers. I’m only a deputy general. I have to get the token from General Li. If he dares to hide the letter, he must be deliberately delaying. He won’t take out the token.”

Lan Qingqian stomped her feet anxiously, tears in her eyes. "How can I save my husband?" She could not let her husband die.

She suddenly remembered, "Then we will steal the token and tie him up. We will go and save him."

Su Changsheng was stunned. This was a good idea.

"Do you know where his token is hidden?"

Lan Qingqian shook her head. "I will secretly go to his room and look for it. Don't let him go into his tent."

The two of them discussed for a while. Su Changsheng found some wine and carried it away with him.

Li Du looked at him from afar and was still arrogant. "Why did General Su want to drink today?"

Su Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief. "It won't take two days. The Seventh Prince will return triumphantly. The anger of the West Continent that has been suppressed for so many years can finally be vented. Naturally, we should be happy. General Li, do you want to have a drink?"

Li Du smiled meaningfully. "Yeah, it's time to celebrate!"

Su Changsheng took the cup and drank. He sounded relaxed, as if he was really happy about it.

Li Du looked at him and felt more and more at ease. Didn't Gu Jun'an look down on him? He was going to watch him die on the battlefield. He wanted to see what kind of ability he had to survive.

Lan Qingqian went back into the tent and put the letter back to its original place.

She began to sneakily look through Li Du’s belongings, as if she was afraid someone would find them.

After about half an hour, Lan Qingqing stood in front of Su Changsheng with the beef in her hand.

Su Changsheng looked at her. “Found it?”
