Chapter 581 A group of idiots
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to make a move, a familiar, cool fragrance suddenly wafted over.
Ye Qing'an's hand suddenly froze: "Yi Moxu?"
"Qing'an really misses me. She thinks about me all day long. Even without seeing me in person, she knows it's me."
Ye Qing'an turned her head and narrowed her eyes, still somewhat doubtful in her heart. Was this person really the tyrannical and cruel Prince Duan, Yi Moxu, as rumored?
"How did you get here? And how did you know I was here?"
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Because I heard that Qing An contributed some tactics in the camp, and then went into his tent and never came out again."
“I thought to myself, this is Qing’an’s first real battle since he came to the front line. If Qing’an wants to win, he will not just sit in the camp waiting for news.”
"Given Qing'an's personality, there's a high chance he'll find a way to quietly infiltrate the Siyou Kingdom's army and go to the battlefield to observe the situation firsthand."
Yi Moxu released his arm around Ye Qing'an's waist and took a few steps on the tree branch as if strolling leisurely: "I was right, Qing'an really came."
Ye Qing'an was not fooled by Yi Moxu's few words: "What I'm asking is, how did you know I was here?"
"Here, I mean this small place; if I were to be more specific, I would mean the tree I'm currently standing under."
Seeing Ye Qing'an's persistent questioning attitude, Yi Moxu's smile deepened: "Qing'an, have you forgotten that besides being the leader of the rebel army, I am also the Prince of Duan of Siyou Kingdom? Moreover, I have been on the battlefield and made many military achievements."
Ye Qing'an found it strange that Yi Moxu would say these things.
She had already heard about these things, so why did he have to emphasize them again?
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, but a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind.
Yi Moxu had led troops into battle and had achieved many military exploits, therefore...
Therefore, he knew all the coded messages used by the Siyou Kingdom's army and could understand them.
Ye Qing'an frowned inwardly. Those generals in the Siyou Kingdom's army were truly... well done!
I never even thought of something so obvious.
Seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Yi Moxu knew that Ye Qing'an had come to her senses, and simply chuckled: "I took the initiative to expose myself, shouldn't Qing'an thank me properly?"
"And that's not all."
Yi Moxu lowered his voice: "It's also because the vanguard of the Siyou Kingdom's army would never send such a message out to the outside world. As soon as I received that signal, I knew that you must be there, so I came looking for you."
"You are here indeed."
Ye Qing stared at Yi Moxu for a long time before suddenly turning her head back to the direction she had come from. There were already faint flames and thick smoke rising from there, indicating that they had received the signal and started setting fires.
The rebels were still lurking in the forest, hiding under the dead leaves.
Yi Moxu, however, was still in the mood to chat and laugh with her, as if he didn't care about the fire at all.
There must be something fishy about this.
Yi Moxu must have a backup plan.
Ye Qing'an secretly plotted in his heart, but his face remained calm: "The fire will soon be over, and your soldiers hidden among the dead leaves, are you just going to...?"
Ye Qing'an was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly came to her senses.
These soldiers hidden beneath the fallen leaves...
Previously, the rebels had also used vegetation and leaves as camouflage to enter this dense forest; that was...
Ye Qing'an's hands clenched tightly in her sleeves; it was something that had happened the night she arrived at the camp.
She still remembered that night, Yi Moxu used the fireworks set off in Anzhi City to attract the attention of the soldiers in the Siyou Kingdom's camp, and then quietly sent people to infiltrate the dense forest.
until……
She didn't see it until the next day, when she came to inquire about the black patch that appeared in the sky above Anzhi City.
But what did those rebels who infiltrated the dense forest do during that long period of time, from that night to the next day?
Ye Qing'an raised her head and stared intently at Yi Moxu: "That night, your men stayed in this forest for most of the night. What did they do?"
Yi Moxu chuckled softly: "Guess."
Ye Qing'an could easily tell that Yi Moxu was teasing her, and she only glanced at Yi Moxu: "Fine, don't tell me then."
Having said that, he leaped toward the Siyou Kingdom's camp, as if he wanted to see it for himself.
Yi Moxu followed behind her: "If I tell you, wouldn't that be considered cheating? After all, we're still competing. If you go out and tip me off, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
Ye Qing'an stopped, glanced at Yi Moxu, and said with a helpless expression, "I don't know what the situation is like in the Siyou Kingdom's camp, but how could Prince Duan not know?"
"Even if I send out the message, even if the camp knows the news, even if Grand Tutor Liu is there and can quickly formulate a strategy to deal with the enemy, do you think that the army of Siyou Kingdom can properly execute the strategy formulated by Grand Tutor Liu?"
"The rebels' spies are already spread throughout the entire Siyou Kingdom's camp, what do you have to be afraid of?"
“That’s true.” Yi Moxu nodded, her eyes still smiling. “In fact, it wasn’t just the night you first arrived at the camp, but before that…”
"After you told me that Liu Enze had left the Siyou Kingdom's camp to welcome you, I arranged for people to secretly dig a complex network of secret passages beneath this dense forest."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, realizing that's how it is.
No wonder, no wonder Yi Moxu saw the fire gradually rising but did not react at all.
It turns out he had already prepared all along...
"Qing'an knows that there are many dry leaves in this forest, and setting it on fire is an excellent method. How could I not know that?"
"After all, I'm more familiar with the terrain around Anzhi City than Qing'an is. So I guess I have some advantage..."
"Now that I've told Qing'an about this secret passage, we're completely even. What do you think?"
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath; she didn't think it was very good.
As the fire gradually spread, Ye Qing'an noticed that the army of Siyou Kingdom was already waiting outside the dense forest in the distance.
The fire spread into the forest, and the place where it first started was almost completely burned. The fire gradually subsided, leaving only a charred area.
Ye Qing'an saw that the Siyou Kingdom's army followed the forest fire and gradually entered the dense forest.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes; this was not the strategy she had previously provided.
what are they doing?
What do they want to do?
Yi Moxu seemed to have noticed the commotion in the distance as well, and a smile played on his lips: "They seem a bit... disobedient."
"They probably think that once the forest fire starts, our troops will definitely not be able to escape the forest, and they can follow the fire and head straight for our Anzhi City, catching us off guard?"
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking, "A bunch of idiots."
