After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 329: There is a Traitor

"I am certain that none of my soldiers would have such a person!"

He spoke with great certainty, his face radiating confidence.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi sneered and retorted, "If the great matter is ruined because of your wrong judgment, General, can you bear the responsibility?"

"you……"

General Li frowned, somewhat displeased.

However, he couldn't refute Lin Rusi's words, and the two started arguing.

For a moment, neither side would give in.

Seeing his expression, Lin Rusi didn't say anything more. She paused for a moment before adding, "General Li, I have an idea that can lead to a conclusion without arguing. I wonder if you would be willing to believe me?"

“Sure, of course I’m willing. I’d like to hear what good ideas they have after reading this.”

General Li was disdainful and immediately responded.

Lin Rusi looked around and saw that there were only the three of them in the tent, which was a good place to talk.

She lowered her voice and said something in a whisper that only the three of them could hear.

Finally, he added, "General Li, are you willing to believe me? If I am right, I hope you can give me more trust. However, if I am wrong and there is no traitor in the army, I am willing to apologize to you, General."

Upon hearing this, General Li fell silent. He had confidence in the soldiers in his army, but Lin Rusi was truly certain.

Moreover, if there really was a traitor who ruined everything, nothing else would matter, but King Jinglie would be seriously injured.

If problems arise in Jiangnan again, he certainly won't be able to bear the responsibility.

Besides, Lin Rusi's idea was good. If there really wasn't a mole, then everything would be fine.

But if there really is a mole, it would be a good thing to be able to spot it.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Okay, then I agree. If there really is a mole, I am willing to apologize for my prejudice today!"

General Li was a straightforward man and immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, General, to spread the news I've told you. Let everyone in the army know that the Prince is seriously injured and the Emperor is planning to give up on him."

General Li, unfamiliar with such intricacies, hesitated, "Is it really okay to do this?"

Lin Rusi nodded in agreement: "Of course!"

General Li gave the orders, and Lin Rusi also summoned Li Xiao Kui: "I'll leave the rest to you. Go and check, just like before, secretly monitor the situation, and see if anyone is sneaking around handing it over?"

Before Li Xiao Kui waved his hand, this was something he was good at when he was disguised in Suzhou City, and he set off immediately.

I originally thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect General Li's military efficiency to be so high.

In less than half a day, Li Xiao Kui rushed back, saying that there was news about the matter, and he took the two of them with him.

The two arrived at a tent, but General Li hesitated when he saw it: "This is the deputy general's tent. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

He looked at Li Xiao Kui suspiciously, but Li Xiao Kui nodded firmly as if to say, "You'll find out when you come with me."

He led a few men to another location, from which they could see the scene inside the tent. They saw the lieutenant finish writing the letter, tie it to a pigeon, and send it out.

Then they quietly slipped out of the tent, circled around for a long time before leaving the camp and heading in another direction.

General Li could see it clearly; he was a spy in the army.

"Men! Seize him!" The soldiers outside the door, who had been guarding for a long time, immediately captured the deputy general.

General Li was furious. He hadn't expected that there were not only spies in the army, but also his long-time deputy general.

This is utterly absurd!

In his rage, he lost his reason and angrily grabbed a large sword from the side: "I've thought this through carefully, but I still can't figure out that the traitor is her! Has it been something I've done to her?!"

As he spoke, he raised his knife, ready to come out and finish off the lieutenant.

Seeing that he really intended to kill the deputy general, Lin Rusi became anxious and quickly stopped him, preventing General Li from leaving and revealing their whereabouts.

"General Li, wait! Instead of dealing with him now, I have a better idea. Would you like to hear it?"

General Li took a deep breath and barely managed to calm himself down; he was still somewhat obedient to Lin Rusi.

After all, if it weren't for Lin Rusi, he wouldn't have expected that there would be such a traitor in the army.

“General, if you arrest General Li now, those people will know that we have discovered a spy in the army. Wouldn't that be like stirring up trouble and alerting the enemy?”

That made sense, but General Li still disagreed: "What does the princess mean? Are we just going to let them run rampant in the army? Are we going to send them a message?"

"That's not what I meant. The lieutenant is here to deliver a message. Why don't we wait patiently for him to pass on the message and for those people to arrive, then we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop? That way, we can capture both sides, right? Maybe we can even find out something else."

As expected, after Lin Rusi finished speaking, General Li hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

It must be admitted that he may have looked down on women before and felt that there should be no women on the battlefield.

But this time, Lin Rusi's actions made him look at her with new respect.

"Very well, then this general agrees. What does the princess think we should do?"

Seeing that he had relented, Lin Rusi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Please send two people to keep a close watch on them, General."

"it is good!"

Following Lin Rusi's instructions, General Li sent many men to lie in ambush nearby.

They waited for a long time, until it got dark.

Only then did someone emerge from the other side of the woods. Upon seeing the deputy general, the person immediately approached.

The two were exchanging envelopes and whispering to each other.

Even so, the deputy general remained vigilant, his face showing caution.

Seeing this, General Li could no longer hold back and directly captured both groups of men.

The lieutenant was startled by the person who suddenly appeared, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was the general.

"General Li, what are you doing here?"

The lieutenant tried to gloss over the matter as if nothing had happened.

But how could that be?

The general snorted coldly and said angrily, "Deputy General, have I treated you badly? Why are you acting like this?!"

The lieutenant, unaware that their actions had been completely exposed by Lin Rusi, continued to feign ignorance: "General, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

"Do you insist on opening these two letters in front of me before you'll admit that you're the spy who delivered the letters to the foreign king?"
