Chapter 325 The spy sneaks in
After listening to Shen Bei's answer, Yao Shu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. She felt more and more that something was wrong and that things were getting more complicated.
"You idiot, don't know if someone else has told you something."
"Ah, what are you talking about? Isn't this something everyone knows?"
Shen Bei, the Erzhang monk, couldn't figure out what could be said about what he and Brother Zhou were talking about. Besides, he thought Brother Zhou was a good person and it didn't look like he was lying to him.
Seeing how much he trusted the so-called Brother Zhou, Yao Shu didn't know what to say.
If she were somewhere else, she wouldn't have thought so much, so she went with Shen Bei. Even if she was deceived, she wouldn't be able to do anything, but they were near Zhangzhou City, on the border, and there were Huns watching eagerly outside. .
She was afraid of encountering spies from the enemy country.
These days, the world is not peaceful. Thanks to the generals, they can live a peaceful life. But now that the country is in chaos, there is no guarantee that the Huns will not take advantage of it.
After all, Yao Shu had worked under the general and had been in and out of the military camp several times. She had some understanding of these things and was more alert.
There is no big mistake in being careful. Even if the suspicion is wrong, it is still better than actually having an accident.
It was rare for her to think of a way to convince Shen Bei. It was extremely difficult to change someone's already determined mind, she ordered.
"Go find your elder brother."
Shen Qiu is now the general's personal guard. He must be more experienced than her in identifying enemy spies, and Yao Shu is not good at this either.
"Ok."
Shen Beiweng responded angrily and reluctantly went to find Shen Qiu. Even now, he still felt that Yao Shu should not doubt Brother Zhou. How could he go to the restaurant like he brought his fellow villagers to support him? Doubt the other person.
After Shen Qiu arrived, Yao Shu told her what she knew. The smile on Shen Qiu's face disappeared completely, and his face became extremely serious.
"Mom, go to the backyard and stop walking around. I'll go to the lobby to take a look."
"Be careful. If it doesn't work, let's go back to Zhangzhou City first."
Yao Shu warned.
Although she was worried about the current situation, she was also more afraid that Shen Qiu would be in danger. After all, Shen Qiu could not defeat four people with only two fists. It would be bad if he was discovered or there was a conflict.
Shen Qiu knew the seriousness of this matter very well, and he nodded seriously.
After listening to Yao Shu and Shen Qiu talking for so long, Shen Bei finally realized that he had never expected that it would be such a big trouble. He was frightened and at the same time unwilling to believe it.
"Mom, are what you and eldest brother just said true? It sounds a bit too scary. How can it be such a coincidence?"
How unlucky their family is. The restaurant encountered such a fatal incident just after it opened. Can the business continue?
"You'll know later."
Yao Shu did not give a definite answer. The matter was not yet certain. It was a matter of great importance. She would not talk nonsense until she was 100% sure.
After that, Shen Qiu was investigating. Being able to become a personal guard next to the general was certainly due to Yao Shu's meritorious service, but it was also Shen Qiu who achieved it through study and training, otherwise he would just be assigned elsewhere.
Thanks to the cover of his identity as the restaurant owner's brother, Shen Qiu's investigation was extremely smooth.
Seeing Shen Qiu walking towards her with a solemn expression, Yao Shu guessed the outcome of the matter, and she was afraid that her guess was not wrong.
This is really going to get you into big trouble.
"Mom, they are indeed spies sent by the Huns. They want to find out more about the situation in Zhangzhou City and want to sneak into the city to coordinate with the outside world."
When Shen Qiu thought about the consequences if they succeeded, he couldn't help but feel numb.
These people were all Han people, but they were raised by the Xiongnu since they were young. There was no difference in appearance, so they were never discovered. After Shen Qiu's investigation, he found out that hundreds of enemy spies, or even more, had been mixed into Jiangbei County. .
They have been surrounded.
"Let's go now and tell the general the news."
"No."
Encountering such a fatal thing, Yao Shu was also very panicked. She wanted to put on her wings and leave this place, but she also knew that the more critical the situation, the less likely she was to lose her position.
Their family may have attracted the attention of the enemy, so they must not suddenly flee Jiangbei County. If the enemy notices the clues, they may be in a desperate situation.
If they really provoke the enemy to attack them, it will be troublesome.
"This matter must be taken slowly, and we must not let them become suspicious."
Yao Shu paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about solutions in her mind, but unfortunately there was no feasible solution.
She kept muttering in her mouth.
"You can't let your father and the others know about this. With their temperament, the secret will definitely be exposed. You go and call the third child over and we can think of an idea together."
One person is the one who is weak and the three are the ones who are strong. Together they might be able to get along in a reliable way.
This was also because Shen Bei already knew half of the truth, and there was nothing she could do to stop the other party.
The mother and son stayed in the room and looked at each other in confusion. Their expressions were the same frowns. Most of the lamp oil was burned, but they still couldn't come up with a reliable solution.
In the end, it was Shen Bei who stood up.
"Mom, you all go back and let me stay here. I can talk to Zhou. As long as I don't leave, they won't suspect anything."
After all, everyone in the family runs together. When in danger, Shen Bei will not be left alone.
With this, they might be able to get through.
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yao Shu and Shen Qiu objecting in unison.
If Shen Bei was really left alone, it would almost mean that Shen Bei would die. Of course they would not agree.
Once they reported the information they got to the general, Shen Bei who was left behind almost had no choice but to die, and there was no way he could escape from the angry enemy.
Yao Shu couldn't do anything to make Shen Bei sacrifice, but an idea came to her mind.
"Can you really talk to someone named Zhou?"
"He knows that I am from Zhangzhou City and wants to get news from me, but he talks to me often, and he becomes familiar with me from time to time."
If not, Shen Bei wouldn't have refused to believe Yao Shu's judgment.
He really had a crush on "Brother Zhou" and regarded him as a friend. He didn't expect to be deceived so miserably.
"In this case, you ask him to follow us back to Zhangzhou City and bring his group to the city."
"This, how can this be done?"
Shen Bei was frightened by what Yao Shu said. This was nothing they could do.
