"Qingque! Come with me! "
Half an hour ago, in the post house, Mo Chui quickly put the piece of cloth with the words in his hand into his sleeve and vigilantly looked around. Then, he turned his head and said to Li Tai.
"Okay!"
Li Tai nodded. Under the lead of Mo Chui, the two of them came to the backyard of the post hostel. The machines and equipment brought from the Academy were piled up here and guarded by the imperial guards day and night. Therefore, this place was undoubtedly safer than the quiet room from before and no one would secretly eavesdrop.
"Qingque, could this Li Junxian be the current Commander of the One Hundred Cavalry?"
Under a great banyan tree in the rear courtyard, after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Mo Chui turned to Li Tai and solemnly asked.
The Mo Clan had lived in seclusion in a bitter and cold land and had not interfered with the affairs of the court. At the time, Mo Chui truly had no idea who Li Junxian was, but last year, Mo Huai had led all the members of the Mo Clan into Yanhuang College. Now that they had formally entered the world, Mo Chui had gradually become familiar with the officials and generals of the court.
"Precisely!"
Li Tai nodded, his brow furrowing. "I didn't think that my Imperial Father would send Commander Li. But strangely, since Commander Li has come to Taiyuan, why hasn't he shown himself?"
Instead of answering, Mo Chui asked, "Qingque, are you sure that the person who sent us this letter is Li Junxian? Could it be an impostor? "
Li Tai seriously thought about it, and then he shook his head. "It shouldn't be! Since he was able to send us a letter, he must be nearby, and there's a high chance that he's heard our conversation. If he's not Commander Li but our enemy, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. He could just send someone to ambush us while we were escorting the generators! "
"Mm! Qingque, you're right! It seems like General Li is really sending us a message in secret! "
Mo Chui nodded and then continued, "As for why he hasn't shown himself, it's probably because the current situation in Taiyuan City makes it easier for him to hide in the shadows than in the open! After all, we're in the open while the enemy is in the dark. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to defend against a stab in the dark! "
Hearing that, Li Tai agreed, "Sir, your analysis makes sense!"
"The problem now is, since an unidentified person has eavesdropped on our plan, what should we do in the afternoon? Also, who was this eavesdropper? Where did they come from? Is he from the same group as the assassins who tried to assassinate General Dugu? "
Mo Chui said with a frown.
These four questions left Li Tai speechless. The little fatty furrowed his brows and pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I got it!"
Ink Chui, who was deep in thought, jumped in fright. Coming back to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Does Cyan Sparrow have a good plan?"
"Whether it's good or not is another matter, but at the very least, this plan will let us know which force this eavesdropper is from!"
Li Tai chuckled and began to explain to Ink Chui.
"Since someone has eavesdropped on our plan to escort the generators, it's fine if they don't have any ill intentions, but if they do, then they and the people behind them will definitely set up an ambush and intercept us on our way to Dragon Mountain. In my view, we should beat them at their own game and have them walk right into our trap! When the time comes, won't investigating the faction behind them be as easy as turning over a hand? "
