The miasma forest was indeed dangerous. If they accidentally inhaled the miasma, they might be poisoned.
Ming Zhiyan frowned and said, “Get the military doctors ready. Also, tell the soldiers to be on guard at all times tomorrow. Don’t be distracted. Cover their mouths and noses with wet ones and walk through the miasma forest quickly.”
“Yes!” Deputy General Yin replied respectfully.
After Deputy General Yin left, the remaining few Deputy Generals exchanged a few pleasantries before running away, leaving only Deputy General Zhong behind.
Deputy General Zhong was no longer as relaxed as before. He asked respectfully, “General.”
Ming Zhiyan hummed and asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
Deputy General Zhong immediately said, “I’ve investigated it clearly. It’s General Song. He works for Consort De’s father, Assistant Minister Yan. He hasn’t done anything out of line in the past few months. Other than secretly watching you these few days, I don’t know what he’s going to do.”
“We’ll know what he wants to do tomorrow,” Ming Zhiyan said calmly.
He had been feeling that people were watching him for the past few days. Some of them were soldiers guarding outside the tent, some were cooks he saw when he went to eat, and some were soldiers who were training.
Although they were not staring at him, he noticed that something was wrong, so he asked Deputy General Zhong to investigate who was ordering them behind the scenes.
Now that the results were out, it was somewhat unexpected.
He did not expect it to be General Song.
General Song was a rather talented person. At first, he was only the leader of a small team.
It was because he discovered that General Song had some ability in arranging troops and formations that he promoted him.
However, she did not expect him to be Consort De’s spy.
Thinking of Consort De and her son who had been causing trouble for the Crown Prince in the capital and constantly finding trouble with Qingqing, his eyes darkened.
Deputy General Zhong suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop. He asked in surprise, “General, are you saying that he will make a move tomorrow?”
Like General Song, he was promoted by the general and had a good relationship with him.
Before he found out that he was Consort De’s subordinate, he still did not quite believe that General Song would secretly keep an eye on the General’s whereabouts. He thought that he just admired the General and wanted to know what the General did daily.
He did not expect General Song to have such bad intentions.
‘l hope that General Song would not do anything out of line and let down the General’s sincerity. He promoted you!’ Deputy General Zhong thought in his heart.
“We’ll know tomorrow,” Ming Zhiyan said calmly.
General Song was Consort De’s subordinate, He had bribed someone to keep an eye on him these days, so he must have received orders from someone. No matter what he wanted to do, tomorrow was a good opportunity, so he would not do anything.
The next day, after breakfast, the group packed up and set off again.
The road was getting harder and harder to walk on today. Every step he took had to cut down the messy bushes that blocked his way.
Moreover, the trees were getting taller and taller, and many poisonous insects were biting them.
Not long after. They also encountered three tigers, but animals also had the instinct to avoid harm. If there were only a few hundred people, they might have attacked, but now there were tens of thousands of soldiers. Therefore, before the soldiers could attack, the three tigers that rushed out immediately turned around and ran.
After walking for about two hours, the forest became more and more gloomy. The sunlight could no longer penetrate, and there was a strange and unpleasant smell in the air. If one inhaled too much, they would feel dizzy..
