Chapter 244 Yun Jingxian was arrested

"what?"

Yun Zhi's face turned pale upon hearing this. She stood up abruptly, walked over to Chen Yuanshu, and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened? Why was Prince Rui captured?"

Chen Yuanshu fell to his knees with a plop, his voice filled with self-blame, "Your Majesty, we have been discovered by the enemy this time."

At that time, Chen Yuanshu led his men to search for the place where the grain and grass were located. Just when they found the grain and grass and were about to burn them, the enemy surrounded them.

Looking at the torches raised by the enemy, Chen Yuanshu made a quick decision and led his men to retreat.

Logically, Yun Jingxian and the archers should have shot arrows to cover their evacuation at this time.

As a result, they were chased out of the enemy camp and never got to wait for them.

So Chen Yuanshu led the soldiers to the place where Yun Jingxian had been hiding before.

When we got there, all we saw were dead and wounded archers.

I looked around but couldn't find Yun Jingxian.

There was no other way, Chen Yuanshu could only let people carry the surviving archers and escape first, while she stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Later, after escaping, Chen Yuanshu learned about it from the mouths of several surviving archers.

Not long after Chen Yuanshu and his men left, they were attacked by enemy forces.

Because the enemy appeared from the rear, they had no time to react and were killed or injured in a short while.

As for Yun Jingxian, he was also abducted by the enemy at that time.

Yun Zhi listened to Chen Yuanshu's report, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of anger and worry.

After a moment, she suppressed all her emotions and said, "General Chen, please stand up and answer the question first."

Chen Yuanshu raised his eyelids and glanced at His Majesty, who had turned back into the same person as before, and stood up.

"Is there a traitor inside?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuanshu shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. Only His Royal Highness Prince Rui and I knew about the plan to burn the food and fodder. To prevent anyone from leaking the information, neither of us informed anyone else. We immediately assembled our troops and marched out when the time came. As for why the enemy appeared in our rear, I have no idea."

"It was my fault that I failed to bring His Royal Highness Prince Rui back."

After saying this, Chen Yuanshu secretly glanced at Yun Zhi out of the corner of his eye.

The whole thing seemed to be caused by a traitor, and the first person to be suspected of being the traitor was her.

Yun Zhi made the last-minute decision to burn the grain and grass, and only called Chen Yuanshu and Yun Jingxian at that time.

The soldiers they brought with them were not told the purpose of their trip until they were about to set off.

After eliminating all the suspects, she was the most likely suspect.

But she certainly didn't commit treason.

And it doesn't seem like the Liao Kingdom knows about their plan.

If we had known they were coming, we would have simply laid low and taken them all down.

Instead of discovering them when they were about to burn their food supplies, there were not many enemy troops chasing them at that time. They only increased in number later, otherwise they would not have been able to escape.

Chen Yuanshu couldn't guess why the enemy appeared in the rear.

At this moment, Chen Yuanshu's heart was beating fast and he was extremely nervous.

At this time, it was impossible for her to say that she was not a traitor.

After all, His Majesty didn't say that he doubted her words. Suddenly explaining it like this made it seem like she was guilty.

Seeing her hesitant look, Yun Zhi thought for a moment and knew what she was thinking.

He simply blamed himself for not bringing Yun Jingxian back, and was afraid that she would become suspicious.

Yun Zhi sighed slowly, reached out and patted her shoulder, "General Chen, this is not your fault. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can predict it. I will send people to infiltrate the enemy camp and first investigate the location where King Rui is being held. Then we will wait for an opportunity to act."

Chen Yuanshu's eyes were reddened. "Your Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water to atone for my sins."

"Even if you have to go through fire and water, you must be in good health. General Chen, please go down and take care of your injuries first."

Looking at the multiple bleeding wounds on Chen Yuanshu's body, Yun Zhi frowned slightly.

I'm afraid Chen Yuanshu will come to report to her as soon as he comes back.

"Go down quickly."

Chen Yuanshu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will go right away."

the other side.

Qi Yan'an looked at the tied-up Yun Jingxian, and the unhappiness he had felt during this period instantly disappeared.

It's a coincidence.

When the soldiers he sent out to survey the terrain came back, they happened to see Yun Jingxian and others hiding there.

The general made a prompt decision and sent someone back to tell everyone that the enemy was attacking. He then took the rest of the men to eliminate the archers and knocked Yun Jingxian unconscious and brought him back.

Yun Jingxian woke up from his dizziness and saw Qi Yan'an sitting opposite him.

After looking around and confirming that he was in the enemy camp, his heart sank.

So he closed his eyes and pretended he saw nothing.

Anyway, no matter what he said, Qi Yan'an would not let him go, so it would be better to save his energy.

Qi Yanan, who was sitting opposite, saw Yun Jingxian open his eyes and was expecting him to question and insult him, but unexpectedly, he closed his eyes again immediately after opening them.

Qi Yan'an's face darkened. He stood up and walked over to Yun Jingxian. "Your Highness, if you tell me your defenses and where the Sky-Shattering Bombs are hidden, I will let you go. How about that?"

After saying that, Qi Yan'an waited for a while, but Yun Jingxian didn't even open his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

"If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you. Come, drag him down and lock him up in the dungeon and torture him. I don't believe I can't pry his mouth open!"

The soldiers received the order and went forward to drag Yun Jingxian away.

During this process, Yun Jingxian didn't say a word.

Outside, Yun Zhi was anxiously waiting for news from the spy, ready to launch a rescue operation at any time.

But two days passed and there was no news at all.

In this case, the only option is to force them to hand over the person.

A fierce light flashed in Yun Zhi's eyes, "Pass on my order, gather the army, and prepare to attack the city!"
