Chapter 615: Chapter 570: You’ve Been Tricked! _2

"No need to worry! We don’t need him to make any decisions, we just need to verify some intelligence through the Longyou Army."

Therefore, Huang Qiang, accompanied by Zhang San and others, headed directly to the nearby Longyou Army camp.

As soon as they arrived near the camp, Zhang San noticed that the number of Longyou Army soldiers here was not large, but each one of them had the air of a martial artist.

"Are all the soldiers in this Longyou Army camp martial artists?"

Even though they were all at the Primordial Qi Realm, having an entire army of soldiers at the Primordial Qi Realm was also quite extraordinary.

With a look of pride, Huang Qiang said, "After all, in the entire Longyou Road, the only enemies of the Great Sui are the Demon Clan and the countries of the Western Regions. Speaking of which, those countries from the Western Regions coming to fight us is basically a death sentence for them, only the Demon Clan is our truly strong enemy. So ordinary soldiers find it difficult to survive here, they either break through to the Primordial Qi Realm quickly, or they die here. Therefore, soldiers who are not martial artists are actually quite rare."

Seeing this, Zhang San suddenly had an idea, if he left behind some easy-to-practice cultivation techniques for the Lingwu Army after returning, could he also turn the entire Lingwu Army into martial artists.

While talking, Huang Qiang had already led everyone into the Longyou Army camp.

This camp had only a thousand men, and the officer in charge, upon hearing that someone from the Town Martial Office had come, was curious. After seeing Zhang San and the others, he immediately clasped his hands and asked, "May I know why the Town Martial Office has come to find us?"

At this, Zhang San spoke up, "I am Zhang San, the General Ningyuan of the Lingwu Army on Longyun Path."

"Are you the Ningyuan General Zhang San who deals with the Tujue on both occasions, whether there is trouble or not?"

Zhang San was taken aback, how did my reputation get to this point?

Why do I sound like a bandit?

"Indeed, it is I, but..."

"So it’s General Zhang, please come in, come in! Brothers, General Ningyuan Zhang San has arrived, hurry up and bring out the good wine and good meat!"

Zhang San quickly gestured with his hands, saying, "General, General, there’s been a misunderstanding, I’m here on important business."

"I want to know the latest intelligence on the Tujue to the north in recent times."

"Got it! You’ve almost looted the Longyun Path to the north, so this time you’re coming to our Longyou Path to make a killing, right? No problem, just a moment!"

The exceptionally enthusiastic general of the Longyou Army invited Zhang San into his own Central Army tent, and soon someone brought over a booklet with recent intelligence on the Tujue to the north.

Zhang San curiously asked, "Don’t you report this intelligence normally? Why do you have to compile it into a booklet?"

The other person laughed and said, "General Zhang San, this is the difference between our Longyou Path and your Longyun Path. Your main enemy on Longyun Path is the Demon Clan. Sometimes we are also worried that the Demon Clan will join forces with the Tujue, so all the intelligence we gather is written down. If the scouts find it extremely important, they will report it. If not, they just record it. That way, even if the Demon Clan attacks and searches our minds, they won’t get any intelligence on the Tujue from us."

For the first time, Zhang San learned that there was such a method to prevent the loss of intelligence.

At the same time, Zhang San also realized that to the Longyou Army on Longyou Path, the Tujue seemed to pose little danger, the real threat was actually the Demon Clan.

"After talking for so long, I still don’t know how to address the general?"

"Qiu Dingyue!"

Zhang San glanced at the intelligence booklet related to the Tujue of the past few days, and his face changed drastically as he asked, "Haven’t you noticed that the Tujue scouts near the Great Sui border have increased in recent times?"

Qiu Dingyue laughed heartily and said, "That’s normal, after all, it’s the time of harvest and winter is coming soon, so they send more scouts to try to steal some things from us to get through the winter, it’s usual. It’s been the same in the past years."

Zhang San placed the booklet aside and said in a low voice, "I’ve looked at the frequency of the Tujue dispatching scouts from last year and the year before, normally one would discover a scout approximately every three days, but this year, scouts have been spotted almost every day, and sometimes even twice within one day."

"Although there is no intelligence about a large Tujue army at present, I estimate that the Tujue vanguard must have already arrived, otherwise, they wouldn’t be sending out scouts so frequently."

Hearing this, Qiu Dingyue’s expression also significantly changed as he asked, "Does General Zhang San mean to say the Tujue are making a move?"

Zhang San couldn’t help but be taken aback, and retorted, "Could it be that Longyou Road has not received the news that Tujue is about to launch a full-scale war against Great Sui?"

Qiu Dingyue shook his head, his eyes filled with shock.

Zhang San quickly said, "The intelligence sent back by my spies in Tujue indicates that Tujue will launch a full-scale war against Great Sui. I’m afraid that when the time comes, there will be two main armies attacking Longyou Road. That’s why I have come this time, for this very reason. So, General Qiu, you should first send someone to notify your superior and the entire Longyou Army in the north to be cautious. I can now confirm that Tujue’s vanguard army has arrived, and I will go meet their main leader first."

When Qiu Dingyue heard Zhang San say this, he immediately became excited and said, "Is General Zhang San planning to assassinate the enemy? Such a tremendous feat of valor, count me in! Although I have not reached the Purple Mansion Realm, my pair of hammers can still be used for assassinations!"

As he spoke, Qiu Dingyue took out two iron hammers from his Storage Ring that were even larger than a human head.

Zhang San glanced at the giant tools in the other’s hands. Were these really appropriate for assassinations?

"General Qiu, I’m not here to assassinate anyone. I know Dashi Bian Khan of Tujue, and we have a rather good relationship. I plan to persuade them to retreat, but I might need you and this Officer of the Town Demon Office from Huang Qiang to provide me with information about the nearby Demon Clan. I need to know about their distinguishing characteristics and such," Zhang San said.

Huang Qiang and Qiu Dingyue were clueless about Zhang San’s plan.

But since he had come to help, neither of them dwelled on it too much.

Or rather, those who managed to survive on Longyou Road were either purely cerebral or solely focused on increasing their martial prowess without using their brains at all.

Clearly, these two were of the latter type.

They even believed him without verifying the authenticity of Zhang San’s identity information.

Soon, after obtaining all the intelligence about the nearby Demon Clan, Zhang San had a clear picture in his mind, and took everyone out, riding Li Jing straight to the north.

Indeed, a hundred li to the north of Longyou Road, they found the camp of the Tujue vanguard army.

Seeing that the enemy did not hurry to attack but kept sending scouts to gather intelligence about the fringes of Longyou Road, Zhang San knew that the leading general in the vanguard army was a cautious man.

Otherwise, they would naturally have launched a surprise attack against Great Sui.

Zhang San rode atop Li Jing to the airspace above the Tujue camp. When the opposing general saw the Black Dragon, he knew that the Black Dragon Evil God from Great Sui had arrived and immediately led his men out to welcome him.

"Tie Jiba, under the command of Dashi Bian Khan, greets the Black Dragon Evil God! I have long heard from our Khan that the Black Dragon Evil God from the Land of the Midday Sun is his good friend. Evil God, please, come inside!"

Zhang San couldn’t help but feel resigned; his reputation on Longyun Path was quite good, wasn’t it?

How did it come to be on Longyou Road that he was either a bandit or an Evil God?

However, Zhang San still descended from mid-air and greeted Tie Jiba, then together they entered the central military tent.

As soon as Zhang San entered, fine wine and meat were already brought up for him.

There were even camp-following dancers performing right there.

Tie Jiba went so far as to invite Zhang San to sit with him at a long table at the head of the tent, to drink and dine together.

"I have always heard that the Black Dragon Evil God has an especially good relationship with our Khan. May I ask why the Evil God has come to our camp this time?"

Zhang San glanced at all the generals in the camp and finally asked Tie Jiba in a low voice, "Can these people here, and these dancers, be trusted?"

Tie Jiba faintly felt there might be something very important at hand and waved his hand dismissively.

The dancers, who had been energetically shaking and twirling, were all swiftly escorted out.

In the central military tent, only a group of Tujue martial artists on one side, and Li Jing with Baili Niezhen and others on the other, remained.

Then Zhang San opened his mouth and said, "You’ve been tricked!"
