The spy rubbed his frozen hands and glanced at the gatekeeper. "They haven't attacked yet, but they will soon."

"Hurry up, help me change a horse, I need to go find General Shi, I have something urgent to report."

The gatekeeper looked at the spy in confusion, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything. He just nodded and said, ".....Okay."

There was news that needed to be reported urgently to General Shi, but he couldn't smell it even after asking.

The city gate officer took a look at the spy's frozen horse, shook his head, and walked towards the stable.

After a while, he brought out a fairly strong horse.

"Don't forget to return them tomorrow. They are the only two good horses we have."

The spy grabbed the reins and said impatiently, "You are so stingy. If you want to give me a horse later, it won't be your turn."

As he spoke, the spy had already jumped onto the horse's back.

The gatekeeper curled his lips and suddenly felt something flash past the gate tower.

He frowned, quickly grabbed the spy's feet, and said in panic,

"Did you...did you feel something floating over there?"

The spy's heart skipped a beat and he looked around.

There was nothing else in the night sky except the creepy sound of the cold wind.

He impatiently kicked off the gatekeeper's hand and said, "Your eyes are blinded by the cold."

Before he finished speaking, the spy pinched the horse's belly and rushed out quickly.

The gatekeeper looked at the snowy footprints on his hand and spat at the spy's retreating back.

"he~~tui~~"

"What the hell? If I had known, I would have let you freeze to death at the door all night..."

After the spy entered the city, his heart had already flown to the military camp.

He shouted "Gee!" as if he wished the horse could take off on the spot.

The military camp was close to another city gate, and it would take an hour and a half to get there even if one rode at full speed.

It was almost the beginning of the Yin hour (3:00) when he entered the city.

By the time he arrived at the military camp, frozen as a death, it was already 6:00.

The dim sky began to become slightly brighter.

The clattering sound of horse hooves is particularly clear in the quiet morning.

"who!!?"

As soon as the spy ran to the gate of the military camp, two spears blocked his way.

"I....."

The spy opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word for a long time. Anxiously, he rubbed his frozen mouth hard and shouted with a thick tongue.

"It's me. I have urgent military information to report to General Shi."

After saying that, the spy took out a small token from his pocket and handed it to the guard.

The guard saw the token of General Shi's personal guard, looked at the spy strangely, put away his spear,

"go in."

What did General Shi ask this kid to do? He is frozen like a grandson.

His entire face was black and purple, and his lips and nose were so swollen from the cold that they couldn't recognize him at first.

But if you look closely, you can still see that the pair of small eyes are indeed Wang Dadao who is following Shi Jian.

The spy nodded, squeezed his horse's belly, and immediately rushed into the military camp.

The two guards turned to look at the spy who was running out.

The moment they turned their heads, a figure flashed into the military camp.

The guards were still not fully awake in the morning and didn't notice anything at all.

The spy didn't care about his nose that was almost frozen off and ran quickly towards Shi Jian's tent.

This whole row of tents all look the same. From the outside, it is hard to tell which one looks like the general's tent.

"Stop!!"

When the scout was about to reach Shi Jian's camp, he was stopped by patrolling soldiers.

"Who dares to ride a horse in the military camp? "

As he spoke, two spears were already pointed at the spy.

The spy looked at Shi Jian's tent.

"It's me, Wang Dadao. I have important military information to report to the general."

As he spoke, the spy jumped off his horse.

It was only ten meters away from Shi Jian's tent, so there was no need to ride a horse.

The military situation has been quite urgent recently, and Shi Jian has been living in a tent in the military camp.

In the past, Shi Jian would at most come to the camp to hang out during the day, but he would not stay in the tent.

Isn't it because he was afraid that someone would find him at his house and kill him, so he hid in the tent to avoid being seen?

Moreover, there are so many soldiers in the camp, even if someone wants to assassinate Shi Jian, it would not be so easy to succeed.

"Wang Dadao!?" The captain of the patrolling soldiers frowned and looked at the spy who jumped off his horse.

"How did you end up like this?"

Wang Dadao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "If I had given you two days to run back and forth from Huanlian City to Chiyan City, you would have ended up like this."

"I'm running around outside for my brothers' lives, regardless of my own life. How dare you laugh at me like that?"

Wang Dadao looked at the patrolling soldiers' suppressed smiles and became furious.

The patrol captain pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly and raised his hand to wipe the tip of his nose.

"Thank you for your hard work, Guard Wang."

"You came to the military camp so early in the morning to look for the general!?"

Wang Dadao glanced at the patrol leader speechlessly, "Of course, is there any need to ask? Get out of the way."

As he said this, he raised his hand and started to push the soldiers piled in front of him.

"Hey, hey, hey~~" The patrol captain grabbed Wang Dadao's arm and said quickly,

"The general is not in the barracks. He went to Lingxiao City yesterday."

"What!?" Wang Dadao looked at the patrol captain in shock.

"What is the General doing in Lingxiao City? I have urgent military information here. Are you kidding me?"

"The enemy is right in front of us, why would the general leave?"

Wang Dadao looked at the patrolling soldiers in disbelief, feeling extremely anxious.

"How dare I say that?" The patrol captain looked at Wang Dadao speechlessly.

"How dare I lie about military intelligence?"

"Don't you see how hungry our brothers in the barracks are?"

"On New Year's Eve, each soldier in the entire camp was only given a bowl of brown rice porridge. The soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't even stand up."

"Yesterday morning, the general led his men to Lingxiao City, saying that they wanted to visit the Wu Ma family's old house. With a powerful enemy at hand, the Wu Ma family should at least provide some food and fodder."

"I think everyone in our city's Wu Ma family has gone to Ling Xiao City or the Imperial City to celebrate the New Year, so no one came out even though I knocked on the door."

"So the general went directly to Lingxiao City to ask for food."

After finding the direct descendants of the Wu Ma family, they will have to give them some food for the sake of the general.

It's already the second day of the Chinese New Year. If they continue to be hungry, the soldiers will not have the strength to fight.

If the enemy really breaks in, it will be like cutting cabbages, killing them one by one.

"The general went to look for the Wu Ma family!?"

Wang Dadao widened his eyes in horror.

It's over.

This rebellion was led by the Wu Ma family. If the general goes to the Wu Ma family's old house at this time, he will be asking for his death.
