After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 619 - 381: There’s a Problem!

On the tower of the main camp, under a black oppressive sky, a few hawks circled. Pei Zhan extended his arm, and a hawk cried out as it landed on it.

Under the lamplight, Jiang Lin approached with the military report in his hand: "The situations of the twenty-three sentry posts along the line have all been reported back. The key ones currently show no abnormalities."

Pei Zhan shook his arm, releasing the hawk, and then unfolded the military report to read it.

"Old Five!"

At this moment, a hurried voice called from below the stairs. Pei Zhan looked up, seeing Liang Zhi breathlessly rushing forward: "I have a situation!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers who had followed him stepped forward, escorting the mute man. Then he handed over the crescent moon pattern from his bosom:

"Just now, when I was at Yangjiao Pass, I found this person holding this item while making contact with the Dongzi people at the post station. Take a look quickly!"

Pei Zhan frowned: "The engravings on this are exclusive to the Dongzi Royal Family, this belongs to the Jin Family!" He looked up at the mute man on the ground: "Has he been interrogated?"

"He can’t speak, but, inside the collar of his coat, a border soldier’s insignia is sewn!" Liang Zhi quickly said and then swiftly pulled up the mute man’s collar to show him, "Look! Not only is he a man from our Northwest camp, but judging by the number, he’s from the Yangjiao Pass sentry post!"

"Yangjiao Pass?" A sharp light flickered in Pei Zhan’s eyes, "Luo Zhao’s domain?"

Before commanding the army to return triumphantly, Pei Zhan had personally arranged for the defense of all the sentry posts along the line. He naturally understood the terrain here, and over the years, all the generals stationed at the border would send a copy of their reports for his review.

These past few days, trapped inside the main tent with Gao Changyuan reviewing the maps, Luo Zhao, even though merely a Centurion defending the fortress, his name naturally came up many times in their discussions.

"Precisely there! Luo Zhao is a sly veteran, having served in the Northwest for many years, always rotating among various sentry posts without much advancement. After I saw the insignia inside this man’s collar, afraid of alerting the enemy, I pretended not to recognize it and brought him back using the darkness as an excuse."

Pei Zhan gazed at the trembling mute man: "You did the right thing. First, take the man away, guard him carefully! Then lead an elite force to Yangjiao Pass, I will follow shortly!"

"Yes!"

Liang Zhi immediately accepted the order and left.

Pei Zhan looked at the Half Moon Map in his hand, then waved to Jiang Lin in the distance: "Bring the topographical map of Yangjiao Pass, and send word to General Gao to come see me!"

The generals not far below the tower responded hastily: "Commander, General Gao is not here!"

Pei Zhan furrowed his brow: "Where did he go?"

"He left two hours ago, but did not leave a message saying where he was going..."

Pei Zhan withdrew his gaze.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly glanced at the map in his hand again, and asked, "Where is Mr. Yang?!"

...

Luo Zhao didn’t return until it was dark, after heading out with the map drawn by Lian Yang.

Throughout the afternoon, Lian Yi stayed with Lian Yang in the room, nerves stretched tight, not relaxing a bit, in case they missed any noise outside.

After all, Liang Zhi was rushing towards Yangjiao Pass with his men. Even if they were slow, they’d definitely arrive by nightfall.

Previously, in Camp Town, because they had prepared for a retreat in advance, Lian Yang was able to remain calm. But now, with Pei Zhan coming so urgently, and the fortifications along the Northwest line being so tightly guarded, far exceeding his expectations, he was no longer able to stay composed.

All these days, they had been searching for an opportunity to breach the defenses. When Lian Yi accidentally learned that Luo Zhao, whom he had encountered twice before, was deployed to guard this important stronghold at Yangjiao Pass, after establishing contact and arriving here, it was apparent that Luo, a minor frontier Centurion, was clad in fine silk, a clear sign of his greed.

Lian Yang had plenty of money. The wealth needed to buy a path of escape was inconsequential as long as the man valued money and power.

Watching the hourglass slowly run out, on edge for most of the day, as the night fully cloaked the earth, word came that the person Luo Zhao sent to authenticate the half Tiger Talisman pattern was captured by Liang Zhi.

The capture of the person by Liang Zhi was not good news, but the fact that Liang Zhi had left did provide some relief!

Lian Yang silently breathed a sigh of relief, poured himself a cup of tea, and then Luo Zhao’s voice sounded from outside the door.

Luo Zhao returned, wrapped in the moonlight, and as soon as he sat at the table, Lian Yang and Lian Yi walked in: "General Luo, you took a long time for this trip."

Lian Yang motioned for Lian Yi to close the door: "Did you settle the matters this afternoon? Did you manage to authenticate the half Tiger Talisman I drew?"
