Captain Su told Zhou Shiyue about the situation of the garrison.

The current garrison general Jiang Ren has the highest prestige in the army.

Next there was a military advisor, whose surname was Zhu, and whose name was Zhu Qi.

Jiang Ren also had a deputy general named Ying Tong.

"A year ago, General Jiang was poisoned," said Captain Su. "After recovering from the poison, his health never improved. He said his limbs were weak and he was often in low spirits. So he has been recuperating and all military affairs are usually left to General Ying to take care of."

"Commander Song is Ying Tong's right-hand man. Therefore, most of the orders from Ying Tong are handed over to Commander Song for execution."

"Admiral Song has always been famous in the border town. He is very popular and has good relationships with people. If there is anything that needs help from others, he can basically get it done."

Captain Su looked obviously disdainful when he mentioned Lieutenant General Song.

"The military advisor felt that Ying Tong's power was too great. Sometimes, Ying Tong gave orders that were clearly not from General Jiang, and others took them as the general's orders. Therefore, the military advisor went to discuss the matter with General Jiang, hoping to reduce Ying Tong's power."

"But that night, the military advisor disappeared."

"Missing?" Zhou Shiyue frowned.

"Yes. It has been more than three months now, and the person has not been found."

"A military advisor is missing, and they didn't even report it to the court?"

No one in the capital knew about this matter, so the emperor did not mention it to him.

"Yes, Your Highness also thinks this is ridiculous, right? General Ying said that he has been sending people to look for the military advisor. It is true that a team goes out to look for him from time to time, but it has been three months and there has been no progress at all."

"I went to see General Jiang, and he said that Su was good at brute force and had an impatient temper, so it would be inappropriate for me to go find him. I should lead them to be more careful. He also said that he did not see the military advisor that night."

Captain Su said, "But that night, I saw the military advisor enter the general's tent with my own eyes."

Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling.

While they were talking, Lu Zhaoling finished another pancake. She met his gaze and blinked.

Are you that hungry?

Zhou Shiyue didn't let her speak for the time being and continued talking to Captain Su.

"Then did you see the military advisor come out of General Jiang's tent?"

"I wanted to follow them in, but Lieutenant General Song and his men stopped me. Later they sent me to guard Cuosha Village."

"My soldier said that he had asked the people around the military advisor, and they said that the military advisor never came back after he went out that night, but he sent a message from Lieutenant General Song saying that he was going to the border town to do some business."

"I asked someone to inquire about it. During those two days, the people guarding the city did not see the military advisor. So, the military advisor finally went to the general's tent."

"I see you suspect General Jiang." Zhou Shiyue asked indifferently.

Just now, he did not miss the murderous intent in Captain Su's words when he mentioned General Jiang.

This is definitely not just a suspicion that the general harmed the military advisor.

Captain Su looked tense and looked at Lu Zhaoling again.

"Is this person following the prince Miss Lu?"

"Yes."

"Miss Lu, don't you find these military affairs boring and annoying?" Captain Su asked again.

Lu Zhaoling could tell that this was meant to ask her to go out and not listen.

But she just didn't want to go out.

"I don't think so."

Zhou Shiyue said calmly, "She will listen to everything, just tell her what you know."

Captain Su did not expect that Prince Jin would trust Miss Lu so much.

He didn't quite agree.

But since Zhou Shiyue asked him to speak, he had no choice but to continue.

"In the past few years, I have actually been investigating General Jiang."

This was quite unexpected for them.

"Why are you investigating General Jiang? You are a soldier under his command. What's the point of investigating him like this?"

Captain Su didn't know whether Zhou Shiyue meant this as a reproach or something else, but since he had chosen to say it, he didn't hide it anymore.

"There used to be a special team in the army. I don't know if Your Majesty knows about it. It was the Fishbone Sixteen Guards."

Zhou Shiyue did not answer.

Captain Su looked at him and continued speaking.

"That year, a fire suddenly broke out on the mountain behind the military camp. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. I wanted to quietly go to the back mountain to practice swordplay to vent my anger, and then I saw a fire."

"If I hadn't gone there, the fire would have been blocked by a hillside and I wouldn't have been able to see it from here. But I happened to be there that night."

"A man came out covered in flames, and when he saw me, he threw a piece of jade at me."

Lu Zhaoling listened to it all.

She looked at Captain Su and could tell that he was not lying.

At this time, she looked at Captain Su's face and started calculating under the table, and she actually got the answer right.

There is a little bit of causal relationship between Captain Su and the Sixteen Yu Ci Guards.

This also confirmed what Captain Su said.

As Captain Su spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his arms. He opened the handkerchief and found a piece of jade inside.

Jade.

There is a figure on it, which is a fish-shaped skeleton.

Zhou Shiyue picked up the jade, turned to the back, and saw the word "crane".

white crane.

This is another code name for the Fishbone Sixteen Guards.

The fish shape in the front is the symbol of the Fishbone Guard.

This is indeed the token of the Fishbone Sixteen Guards.

He held the token tightly, feeling sad.

Today, he had already seen, under Lu Zhaoling's magic, those Fishbone Guards who were burned to death.

Now he actually got the token of one of them.

He gave the token to Lu Zhaoling.

"Can you find out anything?"

He asked in a low voice, but he didn't really have much hope.

I just feel that Lu Zhaoling is very capable, and maybe he can really see something.

Lu Zhaoling took the jade tablet.

"I'll go back and take another look."

She didn't want to do anything in front of Captain Su.

Zhou Shiyue nodded.

"Do you want to take this jade token away?" Captain Su frowned.

"It's useless for you to hold it." Zhou Shiyue said.

"Go on."

"He threw the token to me and then fell down." Captain Su suddenly hit his head, feeling a little painful. "I wanted to go over and check, but I don't know why I suddenly felt a buzz in my head, and then there was a moment of blankness."

Captain Su thought about the situation at that time and his face turned a little pale.

"I don't know how to describe that feeling, but after a moment of blankness, I suddenly had an intuition that if I didn't leave, I would die there. So I didn't care about anything else and immediately turned around and left and returned to the tent."

"When I woke up the next day, my memory was a little fuzzy and I couldn't remember what happened. It was a few days later that I remembered it and when I went back to the place, nothing was there."

"I spent a lot of effort to find out that there is such a team as the Fishbone Guards, and the only person who can call them back is Jiang Ren."
