Chapter 475: After a Woman Disguised as a Man is Exposed 6
When they were separated for questioning, he became even more worried, fearing that Chu Yuan would let something bad slip.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After entering the city gate, the two men first found a tea stall to rest.
No matter whether it was to gather information or have some secret mission, it would all be done by Deputy General Deng. Chu Yuan would just be her background, drink tea when it was served, eat snacks when it was served, and not worry about anything else.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to help, but at a time like this, if she helps too much, she will be suspected.
This task was originally assigned to her temporarily, and it might have been intended as a test for her, so she had to work diligently to maintain her own persona.
An ignorant country orphan girl, seeing something delicious, stuffs it into her mouth with all her strength. That's right, that's it.
So after Chu Yuan finished a plate of mung bean cakes and drank two large bowls of tea, Lieutenant General Deng finally couldn't sit still and led her away from the tea stall.
"I'll take you to the inn in a bit. If anyone asks, just say your brother has gone to look for his relatives and asked you to wait here for him to come back."
Chu Yuan nodded obediently: "I understand, brother."
This made Vice General Deng look sideways: "You acted quite convincingly, not bad. After the mission is completed, I will personally go to the general to ask for credit for you."
So in the next few days, Chu Yuan had no awareness that he was out to carry out a mission, and he just stayed in his room in the inn every day eating and drinking.
There were so many people in the military camp that she didn't dare to take out any food to satisfy her hunger, which made her mouth bitter.
It was not until the third day after entering Weicheng City that Deputy General Deng hurried back: "Chu Yuan, I have roughly found out the situation in the city. Now I have to go to the Duwei Mansion to get a very important thing. You are responsible for keeping watch for me and remind me immediately if there is anything wrong. Can you do it?"
Chu Yuan nodded decisively: "Yes."
She thought she had nothing to do with this mission, but now that the opportunity to show her abilities was right at her doorstep, there was no reason not to grab it.
Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Deng, the two men dodged many patrolling officers and soldiers, bypassed the guards at the main gate of the Duwei Mansion, and squatted down in a hidden corner.
Deputy General Deng deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This is the weakest guard spot in the entire Duwei Mansion. After climbing over this wall, you will reach the backyard of the Duwei Mansion. Follow me in a while and act accordingly."
"clear."
After climbing over the wall, the two took advantage of the rockery and various trees to successfully slip along the wall to the outside of the hanging flower gate leading to the front yard.
To go to the front yard, you must pass through this door.
At this time, the place was being guarded by two servants. Judging from their figures and movements, they should have some kung fu skills.
Following Deputy General Deng's gesture, the two men went around behind a servant and knocked him out with their knives. The whole process was silent and no one noticed.
Deng Kaixuan's efforts to find out the situation these days, going out early and coming back late, were not in vain. He deliberately avoided the time when the captain was in the mansion, and had already figured out the location of the study.
After successfully entering the front yard, he headed straight towards the study. Along the way, the two of them worked together to knock down several guards.
Arriving at the door of the study, Deng Kaixuan nimbly opened the bolted door from the inside and slipped in, while Chu Yuan flew onto the roof to keep watch for him.
For General Wei to send his most trusted deputy to get something, it must be very important, most likely the enemy's defense map.
This matter concerns the general's grasp of the war situation and the lives of countless Yin Dynasty soldiers, so there must be no mistakes.
So Chu Yuan tensed his mind, kept his eyes and ears open, and kept a close eye on all the roads leading to the study, for fear that someone would suddenly appear and discover Lieutenant General Deng's whereabouts.
Under Chu Yuan's close surveillance, she actually discovered a sneaky figure. Judging from his dress, he should be a servant in the mansion.
But looking at his sneaky manner, it doesn't seem like he is going to do anything serious.
This person was now on the only way to the study. Chu Yuan was worried that he might do something bad, so when the person approached, he immediately threw a poison needle across the exposed surface of his skin.
What was coated on it was not a strong poison, it would only make people sleep for a while. When the person fell to the ground, Chu Yuan carried him to an inconspicuous place.
I think that people with guilty consciences would never tell anyone about what happened today in order to avoid getting into trouble.
However, in order to ensure that everything is safe, Chu Yuan summoned his puppet from the system space: "Xia Yu, I'll leave the matter here to you."
After experiencing so many small worlds with him, Chu Yuan is still very confident in Xia Yu's ability to do things.
"Good host."
After solving this hidden danger, Lieutenant General Deng just walked out of the study. After looking at each other, the two quickly returned to the backyard and climbed out from the corner where they came from.
"Hurry up and get out of the city immediately."
What they were doing could be discovered and pursued at any time, so they had to get out of the city before the whole city was under martial law. The two of them didn't even have time to go back to the inn to pick up their bags, and they rushed towards the city gate without stopping.
Fortunately, they moved quickly enough and happened to arrive at the time when the guards at the city gate were changing shifts, so they managed to get out without much trouble.
During the search, Chu Yuan observed that Lieutenant General Deng had been protecting his chest intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that he had succeeded, and the thing he had taken from the study in the Duwei Mansion was now hidden in his arms.
After leaving the city, they rushed towards the Yinchao camp without stopping.
It was not until they were less than five miles away from the military camp that the two stopped to catch their breath and parted ways there.
Deputy General Deng had to rush back immediately to report to the general, while Chu Yuan had to go to the nearby farmer's house first to take off his women's clothes and change into men's clothes.
Otherwise, if I go back to the barracks wearing this outfit, I don’t know what kind of rumors I will be spread among the soldiers.
Lieutenant General Deng also understood her concerns very well. In the eyes of these grown men, it was already difficult enough for them to dress up as women, let alone being caught like this by their brothers.
In order to appease Chu Yuan, he imitated the general's behavior before departure and patted Chu Yuan's shoulder heavily: "Don't worry, you performed very well in this mission. I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of the general."
What he said was the truth. He originally thought that he could complete this mission by himself, and Chu Yuan only needed to cooperate with him to successfully sneak into the city without being suspected.
But he didn't expect that the guards at the Commandery were so strict. He finally found the location of the study, but the guards around him stumped him.
After thinking it over, he decided to go back to the inn and call Chu Yuan to join him. It would be more convenient for the two of them to work together.
Facts have proved that his decision was correct. Chu Yuan was worthy of being the person the general had his eyes on. Both his skills and eyesight were top-notch. If someone else had accompanied him on this mission, it would be hard to say whether the mission would be successful or not.
