"We only managed to escape by pretending to be dead on the ground. But even so, four of us were killed by the other party. "
Gao Jun hurriedly said. His expression was full of fear. Clearly, what he was showing now was the reflection of his true feelings. After all, he really did escape death. He managed to stay alive from a situation where he would have died. He had dodged a bullet.
It was because he had revealed his true feelings that no matter how suspicious Huang Chengji was, he still couldn't see through him.
"Although you escaped by pretending to be dead, you should know the consequences of coming back after failing the mission."
Huang Chengji looked at Gao Jun and the others coldly. "According to military law, those who fail the mission will die!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Jun immediately panicked. He hurriedly said, "Marshal, the reason why we rushed back is actually because we have important information to report."
Huang Chengji frowned slightly. He was clearly thinking about the credibility of Gao Jun's words.
After a moment, he said, "Tell me about it."
Gao Jun said, "Although our operation this time failed, we saw an important person."
"Who?"
"Qin Yi of Jade Willow Country!"
"Who are you talking about?"
Huang Chengji raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure it was Qin Yi?"
Gao Jun nodded and said firmly, "I'm sure! Although the enemy was strong, if we wanted to leave, they wouldn't have been able to stop us. It was because there were other strong people there that we couldn't get away. In the end, the leader and the others had to pay with their lives to barely let us escape. Also, I heard them call that young man 'Mr. Qin.' I don't think there's any mistake. "
Huang Chengji looked away and murmured to himself, "It makes sense that Jade Willow Country knew about our mission in advance. Plus, with Jade Willow Country's personality, they would have tried to stop us if they knew we were on the move. But sending this piece of trash over, are they underestimating me or overestimating themselves? "
After saying this, he suddenly raised his head, and his sharp eyes suddenly shot towards Gao Jun. He asked, "Apart from Qin Yi, are there any higher ranked people here?"
"This …" Gao Jun lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Then, he shook his head uncertainly and said, "The situation at that time was really chaotic. I don't remember clearly. However, this subordinate only saw the youth who was addressed as' Mr. Qin 'and a few fellows who were similar in age to him. According to this subordinate's speculation, there shouldn't be anyone else. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to survive this time. "
Huang Chengji lowered his head and muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he quickly turned his gaze to the people behind Gao Jun. "You guys haven't said a word since we came in. Could it be that you want to give him the opportunity to render a meritorious service, and then the few of you can go and die? "
It had to be said that he was very suspicious, especially after hearing that someone from Jade Willow Country had interfered in this matter. His original trust in Gao Jun and the others began to waver.
Fortunately, Qin Yi's reaction was also very fast. At the moment when Huang Chengji asked, his face was already showing a look of fear. He quickly said, "Marshal, please spare my life. We admit that we did have the idea of pushing him out as a scapegoat, but our intelligence is true. There is absolutely no falsehood!"
Huang Chengji said calmly, "Then tell us, what did you see?"
"This …"
Qin Yi was speechless for a moment. Then, he hurriedly said, "Marshal, his information is the combined information of the few of us. He has already said everything that needs to be said. We really have nothing else to say."
Without a doubt, it wasn't that he had nothing to say. This was just a way for him to eliminate suspicion.
After their last encounter, he already understood that Huang Chengji was a very suspicious person, far more than anyone he had ever met. Previously, when he disguised himself as Li Qingshuang, he already understood one thing. In front of this guy, the more perfect his performance was, the more suspicious he would be.
Therefore, this time, he decided to do the opposite and purposely reveal many flaws. This way, Huang Chengji would not pay too much attention to them.
As expected, Huang Chengji narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yi and the other two with a murderous look in his eyes. However, he quickly retracted his gaze and waved his hand. "Get out. If you do this again, I will not let you go! "
Qin Yi and the others hurriedly said, "Thank you, Marshal, for not killing us."
After that, they also ran out of the marshal's camp as if they were running for their lives.
Although there were some twists and turns in this disguise operation, which also aroused Huang Chengji's suspicion, in general, it was a daunting experience without any mishaps. Now that they had successfully eliminated Huang Chengji's suspicion of them, it was time to carry out the next step of the plan.
After leaving the military camp, Qin Yi also used his divine sense to say to Gao Jun, "You're free now, but I advise you not to have any other thoughts. Don't think that you'll be safe and sound just because this is your territory. "
"Don't worry, I know."
Gao Jun hurriedly replied, "No matter what, I've already betrayed you. If I expose you, I'll definitely be implicated. So, I won't do such a stupid thing. "
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said indifferently, "That's for the best. Go do your own thing. Just pretend that nothing happened before. Don't feel guilty and don't show any flaws. "
"Okay!"
Gao Jun was not a fool. He naturally knew what kind of risks he would face once he was exposed.
After parting with Gao Jun, Qin Yi and the others also found a place to stay, as if waiting for something.
Anyway, this was the army, and people came and went. As long as they did not do anything unusual, very few people would notice them.
…
At this moment, in the marshal's camp, Huang Chengji stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"If it's really people from Jade Willow Country, then they definitely won't just send these few people. Thinking about it, they will definitely have reinforcements. "
His thoughts spun, and he kept running through all the possible scenarios in his mind. "I just don't know where their reinforcements are hiding right now. Have they already blended into the enemy's army? Or are they hiding somewhere else? "
It could be seen that although he looked down on Qin Yi and the others, in reality, he still held them in high regard.
