After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

After the military doctor examined him, he was extremely sad and announced in a trembling voice: "The general is gone--"

Shen Qingyin threw herself on the "corpse" and cried "heart-wrenchingly".

Except for a few close insiders of Mu Beiyan, the rest of the generals almost cried their eyes out.

Even Li Jun didn't know whether he had a guilty conscience or not, and he cried bitterly.

The only two who are different are Xu Chong and Huang Cheng.

Xu Chong sat on a chair, pretending to cover his face and cry sadly, but in fact the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He was secretly happy, just filling in the gap among the heartbroken people.

Mu Beiyan finally died.

He could finally explain.

It's not just an explanation, it's a great achievement, maybe you can get some reward...

Huang Cheng couldn't even cry out, he just howled.

He didn't know the truth before, and he was really sad. When he thought about the general's serious injuries, his eyes became red and tears kept falling.

Now that he knew the truth, the general was fine. He was so happy that he didn't have time to cry.

I can act other things, but crying is really hard to act...

After howling for a while, I felt that my voice was a little different from other people's real crying, so I simply put my head on the ground and whimpered softly.

When the soldiers outside the tent learned about it, they burst into tears and the entire camp was in great grief.

Shen Qingyin raised her tear-stained face, stopped crying in time, and said to Huang Cheng: "General Huang, since the general has entrusted the military affairs to you, please obey his will and guard the western border. I will set off immediately to send my husband's body back to the capital..."

Huang Cheng also raised his head from the ground and looked at Shen Qingyin.

I immediately sighed in my heart that the general’s wife acted very well, much better than him.

Huang Cheng tried his best to show his sadness, and said with a folded hand: "I will obey the general's will and guard the western border well. Please accept my condolences, Madam General!"

The other generals followed suit: "Madam General, please accept our condolences!"

Amidst the crying, Shen Qingyin wiped away her tears vigorously, waved her hand and told Xiaodao to call the guards for help to load Mu Beiyan's "body" onto the carriage.

Because the journey to the capital was long, he ordered people to add a lot of ice cubes around the carriage and the "body".

General Liu, who was beside Li Jun and Xu Chong, offered to escort the body back to Beijing, but Huang Cheng stopped him: "The general said before his death that if he is gone, the enemy may take advantage of the situation and invade at any time. The barracks need you right now. All generals must stay in the barracks and do not leave!"

Shen Qingyin and Mu Xiaodao, together with a guard team of one thousand people, set out on the journey back to Beijing.

These one thousand men were all led by Mu Beiyan himself, and they were absolutely reliable.

Shortly after leaving the military camp, Shen Qingyin and Mu Beiyan found an opportunity to leave the escort team and took a detour to the Xituo Kingdom.

Mu Beiyan originally wanted to go alone, but Shen Qingyin insisted that it would be inconvenient to provide cover alone.

A tall and strong general, when he stood there, his demeanor was obviously different from that of ordinary people, and he was really easy to attract attention.

It would be different if you brought your family and a few servants with you.

After all, few spies would bring their families and slaves to the enemy country to gather information.

Mu Beiyan couldn't resist and had to agree.

There are indeed benefits to bringing more people.

For example, the two secret guards who were with him were very good at disguise. They disguised a group of seven or eight people as refugees fleeing the war, wearing tattered clothes and with dusty faces.

Refugees are not uncommon near the border.

There were also frequent refugees who bypassed the border and fled through the desert to the Western Expedition Kingdom.

Therefore, when the group entered the border town of Xituo Kingdom in the image of refugees, they did not attract much attention.

It was already getting dark, and Mu Beiyan and Shen Qingyin decided to rest here for a while after discussion.

Yun Wei found the only shabby inn in the town. Mu Beiyan asked the secret guards to carefully observe the movements around them. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he stayed in the inn with peace of mind.

Not only were the conditions in the inn simple, but there were only two rooms left. Shen Qingyin and her maid lived in one, while Mu Beiyan and several secret guards lived in another.

The next morning, after a simple meal, the group set out again on foot.

It’s not that there are no people selling horses in the town, but because of their status as refugees, buying horses would be too conspicuous.

Their next stop was Yunzhou City, which was the closest city to the western border and was much more prosperous than the border town.

Near noon, the group arrived outside Yunzhou City.

A pass is required to enter Yunzhou City.

It was not necessary originally, but because there is a war going on on the border and Yunzhou is too close to the border, the pass has to be checked recently.

Mu Beiyan accompanied Shen Qingyin and waited outside the city. He only instructed two secret guards to sneak into the city and buy some clothes, supplies, vehicles, horses and dry food.

After the two came back, everyone changed their clothes and disguised themselves in a remote place outside the city.

Mu Beiyan and Shen Qing concealed their original appearance due to disguise. Both of them were too handsome. If they didn't conceal their looks, they would attract people's attention wherever they went, which would be really conspicuous and inconvenient for them to move around.

The other secret guards and maids just changed their clothes.

After putting on normal clothes, the group set out around the outer city and headed for the capital of the Xituo Kingdom.

Lingxiao City, the capital of Xituo State, is still a thousand miles away from Yunzhou, but after traveling 200 miles on a fast horse, you can take a large ship by water to Shengzhou, the closest to Lingxiao City, and then go to Lingxiao City from Shengzhou.

It was the next evening when we arrived at Lingxiao City.

Perhaps because it was far away from the battlefield, the guards at the Lingxiao City gate did not strictly check passers-by, and the group entered the city directly.

However, they are not afraid even if they are investigated.

When passing through Shengzhou, there were secret agents from the Northern Xin Dynasty to help fill the gap.

At this moment, Mu Beiyan is a businessman in his forties, Shen Qingyin is the wife of a middle-aged businessman, and the rest are servants. The group came from Lingxiao City only to expand their business.

After settling down in the inn, Shen Qingyin was exhausted.

Mu Beiyan did not look tired at all. He changed into a night suit and went out under the cover of darkness to gather information. He also sent secret guards to contact the spies of the Beixin Dynasty in Lingxiao City.

At the end of the Chou hour, Mu Beiyan returned through the window, feeling cold.

The weather in Lingxiao City seems to be colder than that in the capital. It is already March, but it feels like the coldest time of the year.

Shen Qingyin poured him some hot tea, and when he looked up and drank it, he asked, "Any news?"

Mu Beiyan put down the tea bowl and said, "The Xituo Palace is heavily guarded. I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I didn't get close. However, I did find several camps where the Armored Guards were stationed in the city."

"Oh?" Shen Qingyin was a little surprised. Mu Beiyan's speed in doing things was truly astonishing.

"Did you find anything?" she asked in a low voice.

"According to my observation, the Iron Guards' camps are in good order and look very normal. They don't seem to be controlled by anyone at all..."

"This is strange. If everything is normal with the Iron Armored Guards, why wouldn't the monarch be able to show up in the front court?" Shen Qingyin was full of confusion.
