Inside the Great Zhou military camp, the night was as dark as ink, with only a faint light flickering in the darkness. Suddenly, a soldier hurried into General Li Yong's tent, his face showing unprecedented tension and anxiety.

"General!" The soldier stopped breathlessly, holding a sealed letter tightly in his hands, "There is an anonymous letter for you!"

General Li Yong frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He took the letter, rubbed the envelope gently with his fingers, and felt a cold texture. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the envelope.

The content of the letter was not much, but every word hit Li Yong's heart like a heavy hammer. His face turned pale instantly, and the letter in his hand was shaking slightly.

"This...how is this possible?" General Li Yong exclaimed, his voice full of shock and disbelief.

"That bastard Shitou actually cheated on me. He was so bold and even said he would report me!"

The content of the letter was brief and direct, but it was like a sharp dagger piercing his heart. The mention of "green hat" in the letter made him feel a chill, and the word "report" made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

The air in the tent seemed to freeze, with only General Li Yong's breathing echoing. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that the most important thing now was to find the traitor and take action as soon as possible.

He immediately summoned his trusted generals.

"Who sent this letter?" asked General Li Yong.

"It was sent by a soldier. He said he found the letter outside the tent." A general replied.

"Send someone to investigate that soldier immediately!" General Li Yong ordered.

The generals nodded in agreement and took immediate action.

"Also, bring a team with me back to the capital. There is a traitor who needs to be dealt with immediately!"

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but soon understood General Li Yong's intention. They nodded one after another, saying that they would immediately select elite soldiers to follow the general to the capital.

The capital, this prosperous and ancient city, was undercurrents. General Li Yong's carriage sped through the night, stirring up clouds of dust. He sat in the carriage, but his heart was like a raging sea, unable to calm down.

Inside a stone house in Beijing.

Shitou was sitting alone in the dim room, holding the anonymous letter tightly in his hand. His face looked extremely pale under the weak candlelight, and sweat dripped down his forehead like beads from a broken string.

"What?! Li Yong actually knew about this?!" Shitou's voice was trembling and terrified, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. This letter was like a heavy bomb, shattering his originally peaceful life.

He murmured to himself, his voice full of despair and anxiety. He knew that once Li Yong returned to the capital, his fate would be in jeopardy. The news from his informant made him more convinced that the purpose of General Li Yong's trip was to silence him.

Shitou took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had no way out and could only fight to the death. He quickly stood up and began to search the house. He had found and hidden the evidence of Li Feng.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Shitou's heart tightened, and he immediately hid the letter in his arms, and then quickly hid behind the door. He held his breath and listened nervously to the movement outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and several soldiers in black rushed in. They were holding weapons, and their eyes revealed ferocity and cruelty. Shi Tou knew that these people were the assassins sent by General Li Yong.

Shitou rushed out of the window, and the night was like a huge curtain, wrapping him tightly. He shuttled between the narrow alleys, his heart beating as fast as a drum, and every step was full of tension and uncertainty.

He knew that the black-clad soldiers would follow him, and he had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible. His mind quickly searched every corner of the capital, looking for a possible hiding place.

Suddenly, he saw an abandoned temple in front of him. The temple had been in disrepair for many years and was in a dilapidated state, but at this moment, it was a perfect hiding place for Shi Tou. He rushed into the temple without hesitation and hid in a dark corner.

Shitou clung to the wall, trying to calm himself down. He listened to the noise outside, feeling anxious and uneasy. He knew that the black-clad soldiers would search the area, so he had to stay alert at all times.

Time seemed to be particularly long at this moment. Shitou felt his heartbeat echoing in the temple, and every beat seemed to hit his nerves. He did not dare to relax at all and could only wait silently.

Finally, the noise outside died down. Shitou carefully poked his head out and saw that the black-clad soldiers had left the temple and disappeared into the night. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe for the time being.

"That bastard Li Yong actually wanted to kill me. I will break into the palace tomorrow and fight him to the death!"

Shitou was furious, his fists clenched tightly, veins popping out, as if he wanted to release all the anger in his heart. He knew very well that the grudge between him and Li Yong had reached a point where it could not be reconciled, and the only way to end it all was to fight to the death.

He sat in the shadow of the temple, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. He began to recall every detail between him and Li Yong, looking for possible flaws and opportunities. After a night of careful consideration, Shitou finally worked out a detailed plan.

The next day, just after dawn, Shitou quietly left the temple and set out for the palace. He knew that this would be a life-and-death battle, but he had no way out and could only move forward courageously.

The evidence from the stone was presented to the new emperor one by one.

The new emperor angrily slammed the imperial desk, his face livid, his eyes flashing with anger. The evidence presented by Shi Tou was irrefutable, and it gave the new emperor a clearer understanding of Li Yong's crimes.

"This Li Yong actually dared to do such a treasonous thing!" the new emperor roared, his voice echoing in the palace.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Li Yong is fighting bravely on the front line right now. If we depose him at this moment, I am afraid it will affect the outcome of the battle!" An old minister with white hair and wrinkled face walked forward tremblingly and spoke earnestly to the emperor, his words full of worry about the current situation.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne had a face full of anger. He slapped the armrest hard, shocking everyone in the court: "Humph! This hateful guy actually dared to do such a treasonous thing. I will never let him off easily! But considering that he is still useful now, I will make him pay a heavy price after the war is over!" After saying that, a trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed in the emperor's eyes.
