Chapter 147: Just a Kitten
For half a month, no declaration of war was received from the Scythians and the Hu people.
The soldiers were in a panic, fearing that they would suddenly attack without even saying hello. It was not their fault, if General Shen had not beheaded the envoy in anger, they would not have been afraid that the Scythians and the Hu people would not follow the rules.
That night, General Shen summoned all his trusted associates to his side, intending to launch a surprise attack if the enemy does not move, and see what the situation would be.
The Scythians were good at making traps, and General Shen was afraid that he would never return, so he turned his attention to the Hu people.
"Is there anyone willing to go through this for me?" General Shen asked, placing a packet of sleeping pills on the table.
Gu Changfeng thought that this was really a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones, but the next second Xiao Wo suddenly appeared and reminded him: "Host, you go."
This really gave him a big scare. You know, since the last time he told Xiao Wo that he wanted to be with Shen Mingjue, the other party has never appeared again. After such a long time, he almost forgot that he was still bound to a system and had to complete tasks.
Before Gu Changfeng could respond, Xue Zhong answered, "I'll go! I've fought with them for so many years, and I know them well."
"It's just to steal information. I can do these things." Gu Changfeng followed.
Vice General Xue: "It is of course fine for the prince to go. We just need to know what they are doing recently and when they plan to start the war."
"But I'm worried about you going alone. Why don't you let Zhong'er go with you?"
When Xue Zhong heard that this meant that he should go as well, his expression looked better.
Shen Mingjue listened for a while, and seeing that both of them were going, he said awkwardly: "Then I'll go too. I've been here for so long, it's time to do something."
General Shen nodded approvingly, "Juer is thoughtful. You must remember not to alert the enemy this time. If you are discovered, sprinkle this packet of knockout drugs on the enemy's eyes and take the opportunity to escape."
So Gu Changfeng took the packet of drugs, divided it into three portions, and gave them to Xue Zhong and Shen Mingjue.
Xue Zhong was naturally an experienced man, so he disguised himself and the others slipped in.
It was already midnight, but the lights were still lit in the Hu people's tents.
Shen Mingjue pointed to the place where the lights were on and motioned for the two of them to follow.
The tent was originally made of some cloth, pieced together. Shen Mingjue opened a small gap, and the three of them took turns watching what was happening inside.
The leader of the Hu people was a man in his forties with a very long beard. At this moment, he rested his hands on the table and listened to the conversation of the people around him.
Xue Zhong noticed that there were seven or eight people here, a few of whom were dressed very differently from the others and looked like Scythians.
"They are so bold as to kill all the envoys. What are we waiting for? Let's fight them now!" said a Hu man.
The leader of the Hu people said: "Don't be so careless again. Have you forgotten what happened the last time we rashly started a war? We won three cities with great difficulty, but now only two are left. How can we be worthy of the soldiers in the barracks?"
The Scythians not far away said: "Your Majesty, you have this idea, which is a good intention of ours."
The leader's expression remained unchanged: "We had no idea that we would suffer such a terrible defeat if we rashly started a war. You should have told us earlier. But those are all things of the past. This time I want to hear how you plan."
The Scythian was wearing an indigo fur coat and a pointed hat. His eyes were pointed and slanted, and he looked very thoughtful. "We sent a peace letter to the people of the Central Plains several dozen days ago. Why don't we send another one this time?"
The Hu people around him were unhappy: "They have killed the envoys, why are you still asking for peace? Are you afraid and don't want to fight anymore? Don't forget what your king said to our leader!"
The Scythians said with a fake smile: "Last time our conditions were too harsh, and we were prepared to be beaten back by them. This time we are going to ask for peace again. When the Central Plains people relax their vigilance and send tribute and beauties, that will be the day we go to war."
Outside the tent.
Gu Changfeng said in a very low voice: "This is outrageous!"
"They are so shameless. I was wondering why they are not in a hurry to fight. It turns out they are trying to mess with our mentality." Xue Zhong said angrily.
Shen Mingjue was still listening to the conversation inside when suddenly, someone's eyes met his.
"!"
Shen Mingjue patted the two people beside him and said in a low voice: "Retreat quickly, it seems we have been discovered!"
Gu Changfeng and Xue Zhong did not delay any longer and fled quickly using their light skills.
Fortunately, the other party did not chase after us.
Shen Mingjue relaxed only after returning to his military camp, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead: "I was so scared, someone really saw my eyes just now!"
Xue Zhong was almost exhausted from running, and panted, "It's okay, those barbarians are stupid and careless, they won't notice it, don't scare yourself."
"But, look, it's a Scythian. Although he's not wearing a hat, I can't be mistaken about his eagle-like eyes!"
Gu Changfeng consoled him, "Didn't he not chase after you? He might have seen it wrongly and wouldn't have known it was yours. Besides, outside that tent is where the people from nearby live. The eyesight of people from the Central Plains is pretty good, so he might have mistaken you for a local."
Shen Mingjue still had lingering fears, "But how dare the common people go to the camp to peek..."
Xue Zhong: "Don't worry, brother. Everything will be fine. Let's tell General Shen the information first!"
In the Hu army camp, "Your Highness Kenasu, what are you looking at? Is there anything unusual outside?"
The Scythian without a hat was none other than Kenasu, the second son of the current Scythian king. He was also the one ordered to come here to discuss military intelligence with the Hu people together with the military advisor.
Knasu recalled the beautiful eyes and curled his lips: "It's just a kitten."
The Hu people naturally didn't take this remark to heart, thinking that the young prince was just having fun, and turned around to ask the Scythian military advisor: "When will we go to ask for peace the second time? Or will we set off signal fireworks like before?"
The military advisor noticed something was wrong and said, "Since it is a cat, why don't I catch it for the prince and raise it in our Scythian tribe."
Knasu waved his hand, meaning there was no rush.
"Three days later, when the people of Central Plains become impatient, we will go and ask for peace." The military advisor waved his hand, and a man in the corner came out. He looked exactly like the previous envoy.
The Hu people were also surprised, "Aren't you dead?"
The man had a gloomy face and said, "He is my twin brother."
