C482 The Shadow Hidden in the Dark

"Let me in! I want to see the general!"

"How dare you! The military has its own rules. You can't just see the General as you wish!"

"Like I said, I have urgent military intelligence! I am a soldier of Greedy Wolf Army. This is my identity token."

"If there is really urgent military intelligence, you can tell me first, I will pass it to the general." After carefully identifying the identity token, the guard's tone softened a little. But he still didn't let go. It wasn't that the guard wanted to make things difficult for him, but that the person who came was just an ordinary warrior of the Greedy Wolf Army. The guard didn't dare to take the risk as there was a possibility that he was pretending to be someone else.

"I'm sorry, this is a serious matter. I don't believe anyone. I can only tell the general myself." The warriors of the Greedy Wolf Army didn't budge an inch.

"You!" The guard was annoyed as well. He glared at the warrior and wanted to get angry. However, when he noticed the serious expression on the warrior's face, he chose to compromise in the end. "Just you wait, I'll go ask for instructions first."

"No need." With Zhou Fengmiao's cultivation base, how could he not hear such a huge commotion outside the tent? He immediately left the tent.

When the two guards outside the door saw Zhou Fengmiao come out, they hurriedly bowed their heads and respectfully said, "General."

Zhou Fengmiao waved his hand to indicate that the guards did not need to be overly courteous. Then he looked at the soldier who called himself the Greedy Wolf Army soldier.

He had a tall and strong body, and his body was tense as if he was ready to pounce at any moment. He carried a clear killing intent. Clearly, he was a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles.

However, at this moment, there was a faint sadness and resentment in the soldier's eyes.

He was indeed a warrior!

Zhou Fengmiao took a glance and confirmed the identity of the person in front of him. He said, "I am Zhou Fengmiao. Can you tell me what it is now?"

The warrior did not say anything. He just looked at the two guards in front of the tent.

Zhou Fengmiao understood. He waved at the soldier and said, "Come with me. Let's talk inside."

After saying that, he ordered the two guards, "Guard this place. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach!"

The two guards quickly lowered their heads and agreed.

After saying that, Zhou Fengmiao opened the door of the tent and returned to the tent.

The soldier gritted his teeth and raised his heels.

In the tent, Xueling curiously looked at the warrior who came in. He asked, "As far as I know, apart from a few scouts who carry out special missions, Greedy Wolf Army is stationed in a military town in the northwest. Why are you in Profound Gate Pass now? "

The warrior raised his head and looked at the unusually tall Xueling. He knew that Xueling was the legendary giant, but he did not answer. Instead, he looked at Zhou Fengmiao as if he was asking for Zhou Fengmiao's permission.

"This is the patriarch of the Giant Race, Xueling. I believe you have heard of his name before. If you have anything to say, just say it out loud."

When the warrior received the order, he first bowed respectfully before answering, "Reporting to the two generals, this subordinate, Wang Mang, has returned to the pass this time to take on the task of escorting the wounded soldiers back to recuperate."

"So that's how it is." Xueling came to a realization and did not continue to ask. The conflict between the Profound Gate Pass army and the Barbarian Clan was extremely intense. It was a battle of three days and a small battle of five days and a big battle of five days. The battles in the Greedy Wolf Army, which was located at the front line, were even more frequent. Every once in a while, there would be a portion of seriously injured soldiers who would return to the pass to receive treatment. According to the time, the latest batch of wounded soldiers should have arrived.

Zhou Fengmiao was also aware of this, so he immediately thought of the commander of the Greedy Wolf Army, Tan Lang. His voice could not help but become nervous as he asked, "Could it be that Tan Lang sent you here? Did something happen at the front line?"

"General, nothing happened at the front line. General Greed is also safe and sound." Wang Mang said as he reached into his pocket and took out a crumpled yellow paper. "General, please take a look at this."

"What is this?" Zhou Fengmiao took the yellow paper and felt the rough texture of the paper in his hand. Obviously, this was the most inferior piece of paper in the market.

"This was given to me by a senior who taught me before. That senior also served in the Greedy Wolf Army. Later, he retired due to a disability and became a bailiff in the city. His name is Hsu San."

"Four hours ago, he gave me this piece of paper and told me to..." Wang Mang told him the whole story.

Listening to Wang Mang's narration, Zhou Fengmiao and Xueling's expressions became more and more serious. An ominous feeling rose in their hearts.

About four hours ago, Hsu San received Yang Xuan's order to lead a fast horse from the yamen to report to the military camp, but before he left, he happened to meet Wang Mang, who was escorting the wounded.1

Although due to the limitations of his identity, Hsu San could not get in touch with the information at the top, perhaps it was because this battle-hardened warrior had a faint smell of danger. Or perhaps it was just to ensure that there was more insurance, Hsu San left a note for Wang Mang. He also told ___ that if he did not get any news in four hours, he would take the paper and head straight to the Profound Gate Pass's camp.

Wang Mang could be said to have grown up with Hsu San. Just like how Hsu San trusted Wang Mang, Wang Mang understood Hsu San's character very well, so he took Hsu San's request seriously.

The final result was that after four hours, Zhou Fengmiao met Wang Mang.

Looking at it from another angle, this also meant that Hsu San had lost contact with him.

Those who could enter the Greedy Wolf Army were all elites from thousands of miles away. Even if they retired, their skills would not be comparable to ordinary bailiffs. But even so, Hsu San still lost contact with them. He was in a state of war, in the heavily guarded Profound Gate Pass.

Zhou Fengmiao knew that this matter was not simple. He exchanged glances with Xueling and opened the note.

"Profound Gate Pass Market... Marquis of Lo Capital, Yang Xuan, an ordinary farmer... Refined rice... a mysterious person hiding deep in the mountains..."

Hsu San wrote in a hurry. The handwriting on the paper was quite messy, and there were many parts where the sentences were not smooth. However, the scattered words were enough to convey the necessary information.

There was a spy in Profound Gate Pass!

Putting down the paper, Zhou Fengmiao and Xueling looked at each other. They both saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.

Profound Gate Pass had always been under high pressure. In order to clean up the scout of the Barbarian Clan, they had already searched all the places in the pass, big and small. Under such high pressure, this group of mysterious people could still hide for three months. They must have gotten help from a spy.

This group of damn traitors!

Zhou Fengmiao took a deep breath and looked at Wang Mang with a serious face. He said in a deep voice, "Who else has read the note other than you?"

"Hsu San told me to never read the contents of the note. I can only hand it to the general personally." Since Zhou Fengmiao opened the note, Wang Mang had been looking at the ground with his head lowered. He did not even look up and replied, "Except for the two generals and Hsu San, no one else knows what was written on the note."

Zhou Fengmiao was relieved when he heard that. "Alright, the most important thing now is to find Hsu San's whereabouts. Where did you meet him..."

Boom!

Before Zhou Fengmiao could finish his words, there was a loud noise in the distance, followed by a sharp alarm that rang throughout the military camp!

Enemy attack!
