cool night

When Mu Chenling left the imperial city, he brought twenty secret guards with him. They were all selected by the Shadow Pavilion after thousands of choices.

Since the people were brought out, it was not for show. Since the day of the expedition, Mu Chenling had sent people to the border.The two passed on the current situation in the territory, and the two were sent to spy on the military situation.The secret letters are not faked by others, but sent directly to the imperial account.

It's not that Mu Chenling didn't trust the border guards, but after all, he couldn't see with his own eyes how the battle was going on in the border town at this time. No matter how plainly the battle report was written and there was no concealment, it was a change of hands. Many situations might have been deliberately Inadvertently ignored.The two sets of brochures can reflect relatively more clearly.

Moreover, Liang Guo's strength is not enough to make it unscrupulous, and at this time it is in turmoil, but it suddenly sends troops for no reason... This also needs a suitable reason.

If it's really the new emperor of the Liang Kingdom who is arrogant and arrogant, Mu Chenling has long planned to use the name of opening up the territory to take Bai Feng to the battlefield in the future, so that he can experience some military achievements in the army. It just happened that Liang Guo provoked a war at this time, just as if he was rushing to give military merit to his little dark guard, which saved a lot of trouble.

only...

Mu Chenling squeezed the secret folder in his hand, squinted his eyes: "Not sure?"

The shadow guard knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head: "Yes...the enemy camp is very heavily guarded, I really can't be sure, please the emperor punish me."

Mu Chenling sneered, and the already gloomy atmosphere in the tent added a bit of coercion: "The people selected by the Shadow Pavilion are not good at others, and they are very good at explaining."

The cold tone made the already nervous person break out in a cold sweat.Not to mention that the emperor never likes people to argue, even if there are reasons and evidence, he will be displeased.He didn't even complete the task to the emperor's satisfaction, the hidden guard shouldn't have said much, let alone not even complete the task.

Not daring to argue further, the hidden guard immediately opened his mouth to plead guilty, and the originally barely steady voice was a little difficult to maintain, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish the emperor."

Mu Chenling sneered, with an angry irony in his tone: "Oh, the enemy camp is heavily guarded, how can I blame you, Zhen——Bai Feng? Are you back?"

The latter sentence is probably like being lifted by the little general in silver armor at this time, and the warm autumn sun shines into the somewhat dim tent for a moment, dispelling all the depression and haze.

-------

General Fuguo never needs to be informed when entering the imperial tent. This is a well-known fact in the army, even Bai Feng is used to entering and exiting directly.

But at this time, the little general who had just returned from patrol stood at the door of the tent. He didn't know what had happened in the tent before. He could only recognize the kneeling guard as a secret guard through his familiar attire, and he also felt how strange the atmosphere was. Different from the usual depression.

I don't know if the master was explaining something important but he was interrupted by himself, for a moment Bai Feng felt that it seemed that he came in at the wrong time, and hesitated whether he should withdraw to avoid it.

Mu Chenling seemed to see his hesitation, but got up and greeted him as usual.

Then he smiled and asked a few questions about whether he was tired or not as usual, and helped him take off his clothes by the way.

Ahem, he took off his cold silver armor.

Even though he just took off his armor, Bai Feng couldn't help but blush.In any case, the hidden guard could be regarded as coming out of the same pavilion as him, and they were trained together. Although they were not familiar with each other, this appearance...was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing him blushing and turning around without a trace, Mu Chenling couldn't help but chuckle with his back to the hidden guard who was still at the side.This look of pretending to be absent is really cute.

Mu Chenling saw his embarrassment, and smiled: "It's okay, it's through the screen."

...But the screen and the like may really not have much effect on the dark guard.

Besides, even if the person didn't dare to look around, the voice could always be heard.

Bai Feng was just blushing at first, but after hearing this sentence, he felt like his ears were going to burn.

...it's really not the right time to come in.

"Look at this." Mu Chenling handed over the secret folder just now, and hugged the person standing aside by the way.

This person has always been thin-faced, and it is almost impossible to even think about being so close in front of people on weekdays, but at this time...

The little general in his arms frowned and looked at the thin piece of paper in his hand. He didn't react when he was hugged. After struggling a little, he sat aside with his strength, still frowning, as if he was thinking. What.

Mu Chenling suddenly felt that this important but uncertain news seemed to be really useful.

"There seems to be a sect involved..." Bai Feng pondered, analyzing the possibility of this news, and the strategy that should be changed accordingly due to this sudden change.

"Can't you check it out?" Bai Feng seemed to be still thinking. These days, he was used to this kind of thinking and asking questions without honorific titles and careful wording, so it was quite casual and natural.

"Well, the person sent to investigate is 'not sure'." The latter sentence obviously meant something, and there was some anger in the words.

Bai Feng looked at the hidden guard who was still kneeling on the ground, and probably understood the reason for the somewhat oppressive atmosphere when he came in just now.

"Master..." There was a slightly hesitant voice, but the initial cautiousness was missing.

Mu Chenling nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Ordinary military camps should not be so well-prepared, even the hidden guards can't detect it...Since they know how to guard against the hidden guards, and they deliberately cover it up, probably...some big sect is really involved."

"Well... Originally, Liang Guo's sudden attack was a bit weird. If it was in collusion with the Jianghu, it can be explained..." Mu Chenling paused, and sneered, "It's just that it's 'not certain' what happened to this matter. !"

Hearing the anger hidden in his tone, the hidden guard didn't dare to argue. He was about to ask for punishment, but his face turned pale because of the next sentence.

"I don't know how to do things. There are a lot of reasons. I really can't use this kind of person. Go back to Yingge and ask Wu Luo to replace him."

Mu Chenling said it plainly, but the simple sentence of 'change another person' represents what kind of torture in the gate of purgatory, so it probably doesn't need to be counted in detail.

But even if he knew what a terrible punishment he would face after returning to the cabinet, as a hidden guard, he could only obey orders and had absolutely no intention of begging for mercy.

"Yes, subordinate..."

"Master!" A slightly eager voice interrupted this astringent depression.

Mu Chenling was slightly taken aback, but she didn't feel displeased in the slightest, but was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"...Master, this, this matter..." Bai Feng pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.

This kind of thing shouldn't be possible for a hidden guard to make a beak.

"Well, what's the matter?" Mu Chenling's tone was indifferent, but unexpectedly gentle, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.

Xu Shi was soothed by this peaceful voice, and the messy uneasiness in Bai Feng's heart unexpectedly calmed down a lot.

"Master, if this matter is really related to Jianghu sects, we will definitely prevent the news from leaking out." Bai Feng paused, making sure that the master did not mean to be unhappy, and then continued, "Many great sects are very powerful. ...If you deliberately arrange precautions, it may be difficult for the hidden guards to find out the truth."

Mu Chenling naturally understood what he meant, couldn't help smiling, and couldn't help but want to tease him a few words: "So?"

"...If you fail the mission, you should go back to the gate of purgatory and be punished." Bai Feng said seriously.

Failure in the mission is nothing more than a hundred whips, and no matter what, it can only hurt the muscles and bones, and if it is said just now that you don't say anything wrong, but you want to 'change someone', then you will see the Lord guilty.

Seeing the hidden guard of the sinner, no one has ever expected to die.

It sounds inappropriate, but the sentencing at Purgatory Gate is quite different.

Mu Chenling laughed, when did this person learn to be so good at talking.
