Chapter 57 I thought General Zhuo was going to rob the food
"General Mu, what kind of hidden weapon did you use to kill those enemy generals in one fell swoop? I wonder if you can teach me. I'm very interested."
Seeing Zhuoran's expectant face, Feiying was unable to respond to her.
"I'm sorry, this is my unique hidden weapon, and it's not suitable to be passed on to others. Besides, using hidden weapons is a low behavior after all. Since you like martial arts so much, it's better for you to start with the right way."
Zhuoran felt lost for a moment.
At this time Feiying saw Jing Anping and had an idea of how to get away. She looked apologetic when she stood up.
"Captain Zhuo, let's continue this another day. I have something urgent to discuss with the prince."
After saying that, she strode towards Jing Anping, came to his side, and without saying much, grabbed his arm and walked out.
Her actions stunned Jing Anping.
"What are you doing suddenly?"
"Hush, I just saw General Zhuo walk out with a bad look on his face while everyone wasn't paying attention."
"What's going on?"
Feiying lowered her voice even more: "Do you still remember the traitor?"
"You doubt him? How is that possible?"
"Whether it's him or not, the answer will be revealed in the end, so let's take a look first."
"Found him."
Feiying pulled Jing Anping and used the tent to hide their bodies as much as possible. They arrived at the right time and saw him releasing a pigeon.
"Is this a carrier pigeon? Could he really be a traitor? No, I have to ask him in person."
Jing Anping was about to walk out when Feiying pulled him back.
"You are stupid. Now the pigeons have been released and there is no other evidence."
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch someone who might be a traitor betray Fengchang?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this."
Feiying smiled confidently.
About five kilometers away from Fuxin City, Feiying and Jing Anping watched Zhuo Peng riding a horse, galloping all the way from the city. After arriving here, he began to wander around and then walked out.
"General Zhuo, what a coincidence!"
Zhu Peng was facing away from them when he suddenly heard a voice from behind him. He was startled for a moment, then he controlled the horse and turned it around.
"Your Majesty and General Mu, why are you here?"
Feiying's lips were filled with a hint of confidence: "I was just about to ask General Zhuo a question."
Zhuo Peng showed no sign of panic: "Of course I'm here to receive the food and fodder sent by the imperial court."
"Really? I thought General Zhuo was coming to join the enemy and was planning to rob them of their food supplies along the way."
Zhuo Peng's expression changed instantly: "General Mu, you can't say that. It's like treason."
Feiying glanced at Jing Anping with a look that said, 'See, I told you so'. Her face was no longer smiling, but rather stern and her tone was cold.
"General Zhuo, you don't have to keep pretending. The enemy troops you are waiting for will not come."
Feiying said this while holding a pigeon with its wings tied.
"I think you are familiar with this pigeon?"
"Yes, this is the carrier pigeon you used to betray Fengchang to the enemy."
As she spoke, she untied the string on the letter box tied to the pigeon, took it off, and pulled out a small piece of letter.
"Don't deny it. This pigeon has nothing to do with you. There is your handwriting on it. If you compare it with your previous handwriting, I think anyone can tell that it was written by the same person."
"General Zhuo, do you have anything else to say about your proof of collaborating with the enemy?"
Zhuo Peng's current behavior was as if he had never expected that the carrier pigeon carrying his letter could be caught by her.
She was right, the evidence was indeed conclusive and there was no point in quibbling now.
The closer it got to the critical moment, the calmer he remained.
"General Mu, when did you start to doubt me?"
Feiying explained calmly, "I first began to suspect it after two failed attempts to seize enemy food supplies. But at that time, I only suspected that there was a traitor in the army, and I couldn't be sure who it was."
"Until that day, when I went to rob food and came back alone, everyone was excited about having enough food to eat. Only General Zhuo came over and told me not to be so impulsive next time and to discuss with everyone before taking action. Also, when you opposed my eight teams' cross-patrol at the beginning, I already thought you were a little suspicious at that time."
"Then, I was knocked unconscious and abducted by the enemy in the middle of the night. If the enemy wanted to avoid all the defenses in the city, the traitor must be someone who knows all the defenses in the city, so as to minimize the scope as much as possible."
"Then, when you led your troops to fight the enemy that day, I could tell at a glance that you didn't fight him with all your strength. It was more like you were putting on a show for others to see."
"Then, of course, we won the battle that day, and everyone was celebrating. Even those who don't normally drink tried to have a few drinks. You were the only one who was unexpectedly quiet in this situation, so I naturally paid more attention to you."
"In the end, in order to completely confirm your identity as a traitor, I only revealed to you the wrong time when His Majesty sent people to escort the grain. As expected, you once again called the carrier pigeon and tried to pass the message on, but unfortunately I intercepted it in time."
"Is this true? Father, are you really a traitor collaborating with the enemy?"
As Feiying finished speaking, a female voice with a faint crying tone came from the side, and Zhuoran came out on a horse.
"Xiao Ran, why are you here?"
Feiying had already predicted this: "She followed us secretly from behind."
Jing Anping was surprised when he heard this: "You already knew that she was behind us?"
"of course."
"Then why didn't you tell the king?"
"Forget it, this reason will do."
It's already this time, why is he still caring about such a trivial matter?
For her, it was best if Zhuoran could come by himself, so that she wouldn't have to explain things to her later, which would save her a lot of trouble.
Zhuoran came to the opposite side of Zhuo Peng and said, "Father, please answer my question. Are you really a traitor?"
Zhuo Peng smiled bitterly and nodded: "I am sorry for you."
"But father, why did you do this? How did Fengchang Kingdom wrong you to allow you to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"
"I don't know either, but one day a while ago, I suddenly had this idea."
Zhuoran listened and felt that it was extremely perfunctory: "Father, at this point, you still don't want to tell the truth to me, your biological daughter?"
"I am serious and I am not lying to you."
Zhuoran felt that Zhuo Peng was beyond help.
However, Feiying could roughly guess that his initial choice to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country was probably caused by the collapse of his personality.
