Ji Qianchen slapped him in the face.

"What? You're still not convinced? I'll beat you to death!"

As he said that, he used his iron fan frame to hit the gangster on the head with a "bang, bang, bang" sound. The gangster was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and his head was about to explode.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'm convinced! I'm really convinced!"

The gangster boss wailed. He was afraid that he would be beaten again if he said something wrong. The other men in black were in agony. It was like being hit on the head with an iron rod, and it was going to break. The boss was so skilled in martial arts, but he almost couldn't bear it. What should they do?

Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Qingwan called for a stop. Ji Qianchen then retreated to Lin Qingwan's side.

"Tell me, who are you guys?"

Seeing Lin Qingwan asking questions, the black-clad leader who was leading the group looked at Lin Qingwan. She was dressed elegantly and exuded an aura of power that made him feel in awe.

Then he told the truth as if possessed by a ghost: "We were originally escorts of the Nanzhao State Escort Agency. Seven days ago, the military camp suddenly forced recruits, and we were called up. They said they wanted to expand the army to fight, but we had no intention of fighting, so we escaped. We were planning to rob a bunch of money and then escape. Unexpectedly..."

At this point, the gangster's voice became smaller and smaller. The people of Nanzhao State came to Dongao State to rob. What a good plan.

"Fight? Is there a specific time?"

Lin Qingwan asked the key question. The officers and soldiers were also concerned about this issue. After all, if the news about the safety of the border was true, he needed to rush to the military camp not far away to report the news. He also had to report it to his superiors quickly.

"We don't know either. But one day, we overheard that they were colluding with the Dongao border. We don't know the details. We just don't want to be cannon fodder. If a war breaks out, we will be the ones who suffer."

Lin Qingwan pondered the interests involved. If it was true as he said, there might be a traitor in the border army. If a fight really broke out, the consequences would be disastrous. It would be too miserable to be plotted against by one's own people.

"Did you hear who was colluding with him?"

Lin Qingwan pressed again.

The boss in black was silent for a long time, racking his brains, and finally, seemed to remember something.

"Oh, right! I remember now. I heard them mention a name, called... He Guang... Yes! He Guang."

Seeing that the black-clad boss was certain, Lin Qingwan thought for a while. She couldn't just listen to their one-sided words on this matter, she needed to get confirmation.

"Little sister, what should we do? We can't just ignore this. The situation is becoming more and more unstable. If a war breaks out, won't this border collapse without a fight?"

Lin Yiyang was very anxious. As the son of a general of Dongao State, he had a natural duty to protect his people from being harmed.

Lin Qingwan knew the seriousness of the matter. She said to the leader behind her, "You guys lock them up first. I'll be back soon."

Lin Yiyang knew what Lin Qingwan was going to do, and was planning to go with her, but was stopped by Lin Qingwan. She went alone without knowing it. If she was discovered, it would be easy to escape. She was just going to get some information.

The commander told Lin Qingwan the specific location of the army, and Lin Qingwan took advantage of the darkness of night to reach the military camp.

There were tens of thousands of troops stationed here. The guards were quite strict. But for Lin Qingwan, it was like entering an empty space. She moved invisibly to the general's tent and stopped.

With such a stealth effect, even if patrolmen passed by her, they would not be able to find her as long as she did not make any sound.

It was already late at night, and the general's tent was still lit with torches. There were faint voices coming from inside. Lin Qingwan listened attentively outside the tent.

"Brother, what do you want us for? It's already late at night, is there an emergency?"

One of the generals said.

A rough voice sounded, a little anxious: "As you all know, the border has been turbulent recently. We need to keep an eye on the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking in. This is the latest intelligence, which says that there is a traitor in our camp, so I came to discuss this with you and how to find the traitor!"

"Is there such a thing? We are all veterans who have served under the general. How could the general not know what we are like? But, does the letter mention who it is?"

Another general also asked casually.

"The letter didn't mention it, so we probably don't know who it is yet. That's why I called you here to discuss this matter. How to find out the traitor. He Guang, you go first, you're the smartest!"

The general's rough voice sounded, which made Lin Qingwan stunned: "He Guang? Sure enough, there is such a person, but the general doesn't know that he is the traitor, right? He even let him join the secret meeting openly, will he find himself out?"

When He Guang heard the general say there was a traitor, he felt a little nervous. Then he heard the general say he didn't know who it was and wanted to discuss countermeasures with them, and he relaxed a little. When he was suddenly called by his name, he came back to his senses from the tension just now.

He Guang coughed a few times and cleared his throat, which concealed his inner nervousness very well. He said, "Since there is a traitor, we need to do something to lure it out. I haven't thought of the specific method yet."

In fact, his brain was working frantically at this moment, thinking about how to divert the trouble to someone else and find a scapegoat to cover himself up.

"Well, your method is good. What do you think? Li Yang, tell us what you think."

The one called Li Yang hesitated for a long time: "Boss, you know, I'm not smart, I can't think of any good ideas, but I will do whatever you say, without any ambiguity!" The general called Li Yang scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression. He has never been smart. He can contribute in fighting, but he can't use his brain.

"You, you!" The general sighed helplessly. Then he said, "Hongtian, it's your turn!"

The man called Hongtian thought, "We are all seniors around the general, and we are people the general trusts, so the traitor is definitely not us. Otherwise, we can spread the news that the court has important secrets to send, and the traitor will definitely come to steal the information after hearing it, and then we can catch him in the trap!"

"Yeah, hahaha, good! Hongtian is smart, let's do it! Tomorrow morning..."

The discussion inside was in full swing, but Lin Qingwan could not bear to listen any longer. If she had not known who the traitor was in advance, she would have praised the general for his good strategy.

Lin Qingwan planned to go back to the post station first and tie up those men in black tomorrow morning so that she could explain the matter of the traitor. Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan quietly retreated into the darkness.

Inside the tent, the lights were still on, and they seemed to be discussing something.
