"This is not the place to talk. Take this letter and walk along this passage. Go up to the rocky reef you see. Lord Cao will receive you there. Go back and take good care of yourself. You are the pride of Mobei Country."

While Situ Jin was talking to them, Xia Luo wrote down in a letter how they and Cao Wenshan would hand over the business.

"We have a total of 45 people here, and there are ten more people they have taken to the Ball Country. There are spies among those ten people, General Han, you must be careful. They obey the orders of Commander Zhao Xianzhao."

"Is that spy also from Northern Xinjiang?" If Situ Jin wanted to catch this spy, he would definitely ask clearly.

"I still don't know who they are. They are all soldiers under Zhao Xian."

"Then how did you find out there was a spy?"

"There was a man named Shisanlang who often went to their room, and the torture they used was fake. When they left, I saw that none of them looked like they were being tortured. This means that some of them couldn't resist the temptation and were bribed."

"What is Shisanlang's position in there?"

"It seems like he is our chief clerk. He is in charge of all affairs in the left and right channels."

"Oh. I get it. You guys hurry out. I'll take care of this. Remember to take good care of yourself when you get out, and don't try to be stubborn. Stay on board without my orders."

He was afraid that they would keep them there for a few days, and then when he saw that they did not go back, he would come to the passage to look for them again.

Cao Wenshan couldn't stop them either, so he gave a death order to let them have a good rest.

"Yes." Tao Hangqi led these people along the passage towards the rocky reef.

When Cao Wenshan received the news, he immediately ordered the helmsman to set sail. It took only three hours to reach the rocky reef.

Cao Wenshan followed the instructions in the letter and waited for Situ Jin and Xia Luo to return at the entrance of the rocky reef cave.

Not long after, some people came out of the passage. They set up their muskets and prepared to fight.

But then they saw a group of Mobei soldiers filing out of the passage in a panic.

"They are all our people, and they are still alive." Cao Wenshan shouted with tears in his eyes.

This year, fifty or sixty soldiers were lost.

At that time, Cao Wenshan didn't dare to send people to suppress the bandits, for fear that they would never come back.

They are all back this time, which is a great achievement!

Although it was not Lord Cao who found it himself.

But the political achievements were his, so how could he not be excited?

"Everyone, go to the cabin and rest. Xiao Sanzi will arrange rooms for everyone. Let the doctor take a look at the wounds first, and then ask the chief steward to arrange for some delicious meals."

Before Tao Hangqi took out the letter, Cao Wenshan ordered everyone to make arrangements for them.

"Sir Cao, this is a letter written by General Han." Tao Hangqi handed the letter to Cao Wenshan.

When Cao Wenshan looked at the beautiful small handwriting, he knew it was written by Xia Luo.

After reading the letter, he called the God of Medicine over.

"Old man, General Han wrote to ask you to help take care of the wounded soldiers. Miss Xia said she will make braised pork for you when she comes back."

The old monster God of Medicine likes to eat the dishes cooked by Charlotte.

He hadn't eaten Charlotte's cooking for a long time. He slurped his saliva and said:

“You just run around everywhere. You don’t even cook for me when you come back. If you don’t cook for me when you come back, don’t even think of asking me to treat patients in the future.” The old weird God of Medicine muttered as he walked towards the cabin.

Even though Cao Wenshan was the governor of the coastal area, he couldn't control the old monster of medicine.

This person is very special. It is harder than climbing to the sky to get him to do something.

So it all depends on his awareness. He is very casual.

Situ Jin arranged for him to make a musket.

He obeyed unconditionally and worked tirelessly to do it.

It turned out that when Lord Leng gave him orders, he ignored them.

Cao Wenshan didn't specifically tell him to do this. He knew his temper. It was very strange.

Xia Luo and Situ Jin walked out of the passage.

There is a hall at the entrance of the passage. There are four guards in the hall.

Standing straight at the entrance, not moving.

They walked out generously and came to the beach outside. Here was a harbor.

The boats are not very big, but there are many people fishing.

Because this is a warning area. All fishermen are outside this boundary.

Charlotte was choked by the fishy smell from the seaside.

She took out two small bottles from the space and handed one to Situ Jin.

"Put it under your nose and smell it. It smells too fishy." Charlotte was holding the spice made of perilla.

"Hmm. It smells much better. What should we do next?" Situ Jin discussed with Charlotte as they walked.

"Let's act according to circumstances." Charlotte observed the surrounding situation with his eyes.

I found that I was not free even when I walked out.

They were still moving forward in the police equipment area.

We came to a hall filled with people who came out of the right passage.

Because they all have a badge on their right arm.

While no one was paying attention, Charlotte took the two soldiers to a dark place, asked Situ Jin to cover them, and anesthetized the two soldiers deeply. Then he entered the space.

Got two badges. Out of space.

Handed Situ Jin a badge to put on.

They blended into the team, waiting for something.

"How did you get back?" a burly man asked them.

It turned out that Charlotte forgot to change the faces of those two people.

And they all definitely knew them.

"It was the flag commander who asked us to come back." Situ Jin had no choice but to say this.

Anyway, they didn't have time to verify it. And the flag chief was in his space.

"Who knows, maybe your flag chief wants to make peace with our leader. So he sent you two here?"

"They said they will deal with things over there tomorrow and come over to help. Let the two of us come over first." Charlotte said in a low voice.

"Well. There will be news in the evening. Wait. Here are rice balls, you can eat some first." The man was very enthusiastic. Knowing that they had not eaten, he gave them the rice balls.

Now that I know his character, I'll ask them what they are waiting for.

Charlotte took out two pieces of candy from the space and handed them to the man.

"From the cargo box."

"So sweet!" The man's eyes blossomed with sweetness.

It seems that this man likes sweets.

"How many hours have you been waiting here?" Situ Jin asked him.

"Five and a half hours. We can't go out without any news from there. If we go out without orders, we will die. We are still negotiating."

"If negotiations fail, do we have to charge into battle?"

"Isn't it always like this? It happens several times a year. Our brothers' lives and deaths are determined by fate. Fortune and honor are in the hands of God. As long as we can make contributions in the rebellion, we will have the hope of returning home. So everyone is striving for it."

"Are those people from Mobei also treated this way?"

"They are different. If they charge into battle like us, they will get more rights and benefits. There have been precedents like this before. Look, those ten people are treated much better than us."

The man pointed at the ten Mobei people standing in front of him.

"Foreigners are treated better than we are?" Charlotte deliberately tried to provoke him.

"They have important information. We can't speak Mobei dialect. Without them, our source of income would be cut off. We have no reason to be jealous of them."

Charlotte looked at Situ Jin. How could he get in touch with the Mobei people and catch the spies?

There are two tasks at present. The first is to find the spy.

The second is whether we can disintegrate their internal personnel and resolve the divisions among them caused by the uneven distribution of spoils.

Let them engage in civil war and have no time to take care of things at sea.

Only in this way can coastal trade return to its former prosperity.
