Lu An was stunned when he heard this.
Send another person to be a spy?
Although he didn't know much about military affairs, sending another spy when Nie Han was already under suspicion was equivalent to sending him to his death. Even if this person was discovered, it didn't mean that Nie Han would be free of suspicion. It was completely meaningless!
Looking at Lu An's puzzled expression, Liu Huairen explained, "Sending another spy is not to rescue Nie Han, but to replace Nie Han as a real spy. As long as this person can become a core member of the enemy, Nie Han will have a chance to escape. However, although this method sounds simple, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. "
After Liu Huairen's words, the others shook their heads. This wasn't as difficult as ascending to the heavens, it was almost impossible.
Lu An frowned slightly. It seemed that it was impossible to rescue Nie Han now, unless they paid a huge price. However, Lu An also understood that they had to rescue Nie Han. If they didn't, the morale of the army would definitely drop. At that time, who would dare to risk their lives for the army?
Immediately, Liu Huairen and the people behind him began to discuss again. The discussion was loud and filled with arguments. Everyone had their own opinions. Most of them believed that they couldn't put the entire army in danger because of Nie Han. Now was a critical moment for the country and there couldn't be any mistakes.
"If Nie Han really dies, we can just give him a posthumous title after we win this war. His descendants will also be promoted!" Someone said loudly, "If we lose our chance of winning because of him, who will take responsibility for this?"
"That's right, it's war now. It's not the usual small scuffle between spies!" Someone immediately said, "It's normal for people to die in war. Everyone should be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. As the commander of the Sage Battalion, how could Nie Han not understand this?!"
"…"
Hearing that most of the people in the room supported the idea of not saving Nie Han, Liu Huairen's expression became more and more ugly. Although he was a great general, if the morale of the army was so unstable, he couldn't forcefully go against it. At the side, Lu An also fell into deep thought.
Obviously, from a practical point of view, not saving Nie Han was the best choice. Although Lu An did not want Nie Han to die, he could not treat the lives of the four countries and the people of Purple Lake City as a joke.
The people around them kept arguing. Finally, after a long time, Lu An, who had been standing at the side, raised his head and looked at the crowd.
"I'll go save them," Lu An said.
The sudden voice silenced the entire room. Everyone immediately turned to look at Lu An, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. They even wondered if they had misheard the noise just now.
Lu An looked at everyone and said softly, "I'll go and save them."
"No way!" After hearing this, Liu Huairen was the first to object, saying, "You're the Vice City Lord of the Violet Lake City. If something happens to you, the entire alliance will be shaken. If Purple Lake City gives up on us because of this, won't we lose all hope?! "
"That's right!" The people around nodded and said, "None of us can go but you. If you die, we will definitely be dragged to the grave with you!"
"Yes, even if you kill all of us, it won't be enough to compensate for your life. If that's the case, we might as well die!"
"..."
Hearing everyone's words, Lu An knew that his decision sounded reckless and said, "Everyone, don't worry. I'm very afraid of death. If I'm not confident, I won't take the risk and even more so, I won't joke with my life. Since saving Nie Han is so difficult, I'll do it myself. If it's really difficult, I'll give up immediately. Even if Nie Han dies, no one can say anything and the morale of the army will not be lost. "
Hearing Lu An's words, everyone looked at each other. It was obvious that they did not believe him. A person going to a place with hundreds of thousands of soldiers to save someone and still be able to escape unscathed, this was not something they could control!
"But …" Liu Huairen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu An.
"Everyone, don't worry. Just think of it as me going out for a show. I'll probably just wander around the mountains a few times and come back. Nothing will happen." Lu An smiled and said, "If I don't come back with any results, don't blame me."
"We wouldn't dare!" Everyone said quickly.
"Then this matter is settled." Lu An said, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Leave the rest to me."
After that, Lu An turned and left, not giving anyone a chance to persuade him. However, just as he walked out of the courtyard, Liu Huairen's voice came from behind him.
"City Lord Lu, please wait!"
Lu An stopped and turned to look at Liu Huairen, who was running over, and asked, "General Liu, what's wrong?"
Liu Huairen ran to Lu An and asked anxiously, "City Lord Lu, are you really going to take the risk, or are you really just going for a show? If you really want to take the risk, even if you kill me, I won't let you go. If you're just going for a show, then I'll be at ease. "
Lu An smiled and said, "I can tell you seriously that I will go and save them. However, if anything goes wrong, I'll run away immediately. It's no different from putting on a show. No matter what, I have to go and wander around the enemy's camp for a few rounds to make sense, right?"
"This …" Liu Huairen hesitated.
"General, don't worry. As long as the enemy doesn't have a Level 6 Heavenly Master, nothing will happen to me." Lu An smiled and said, "I know that if something happens to me, then everyone here will be in trouble. I won't joke around with everyone's lives."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Huairen was more or less relieved. He looked at Lu An and said, "City Lord Lu, it's good that you know this. If something happens to you, even if Purple Lake City doesn't say anything, the other allied nations will kill all of us to calm Purple Lake City down. Your life is much more important than all of our lives combined. "
Lu An nodded and said, "I understand."
"Since City Lord Lu is so determined, I won't try to persuade you." Liu Huairen said seriously, "I hope City Lord Lu can end this quickly and not waste too much time."
"Okay." Lu An said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in three days."

In the afternoon, Lu An went to the forest that was only separated from Shang Qi and the enemy.
Because both sides had fought before, it wasn't difficult to find Lu An an enemy's uniform. Lu An hadn't changed into it yet. Unless he infiltrated the enemy's camp, he wouldn't change.
Lu An walked at a moderate speed on the plains, ensuring that he didn't exhaust his Fate Wheel. Lu An only arrived at the forest when the sky turned dark in the evening.
He activated the Scorching Sun Nine Suns and sensed the situation within a mile radius. Lu An knew that his life was related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. He was even more cautious and couldn't afford to be careless.
There were garrisons in the forest, but there must be spies observing the surroundings all year round. These spies were hidden and hard to find. However, Lu An soon found a few of them under the Scorching Sun Nine Suns.
Lu An didn't take any action. He didn't want to alert the enemy at this time. He didn't go to the garrisons. Instead, he bypassed the garrisons and spies and went straight to the other side of the forest.
Crossing the forest, Lu An soon arrived at the enemy's territory. As expected, there were many sentry posts not far away from the road. Each sentry post was brightly lit and there were many people patrolling.
At this time, Lu An had changed into a night suit. The dark clouds tonight were very cooperative. They blocked the moonlight and the earth was in darkness. Under the protection of the darkness, Lu An moved forward quickly. He flew past the sentry posts and went straight to the enemy's camp.
The camp was one hundred miles away from the mountain. Lu An moved forward at full speed. It didn't take long for Lu An to arrive at the enemy's camp. He observed the enemy's camp from one mile away.
There was indeed a large number of people patrolling outside the enemy's camp. There were even many Taoist Masters among them. The camp was very large. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It was a very serious problem to find Nie Han among so many people.
Lu An took a breath. No matter what, he had to catch someone and ask. Besides, it couldn't be an ordinary soldier. It had to be a Taoist Master who had the right to know more.
Lu An kept probing with his perception. He was very patient and didn't move at all. After waiting for an entire hour or so, Lu An's eyes finally turned cold, and he intended to make a move.
He sensed that there was a Level 3 Taoist Master who was alone outside the camp.
