Chapter 112: CH 112

Zhu Qiang was very active in watching the hustle and bustle, he didn’t even notice when Song Xiao Bai had left, he just looked at Jiang Sheng Liang happily and gave him a thumbs up: “Jiang Sheng Liang is awesome1牛逼 (niú bī): an internet slang that means awesome, refers to people or things transcend common sense or normality. In gaming, it could mean newbie.!”

Tang Wu Yuan’s face was turning blue, but looking at Jiang Sheng Liang’s innocent face, he couldn’t get angry, so he could only glare at him and say: “When you compliment a man, you need to say he’s handsome!”

“Yes!” Jiang Sheng Liang laughed foolishly, his voice bright, “Commander Tang, you are really handsome!”

The soldiers around him roared with laughter again, a few of them almost sat on the ground laughing, it’s been a long time since they’ve seen such a straightforward young man!

Tang Wu Yuan: “……perform well”

He patted Jiang Sheng Liang’s shoulder, reluctantly encouraging the naive little fan, and then turned to walk away in the midst of the little fan’s clear, bright gaze, his back melancholic as it had never had before.

……

Song Xiao Bai sat in the office, watching the gloomy potted plants, listening in one ear and out the other to his cronies’ report on the situation in the army yesterday.

“Major General, after the expedition was cancelled yesterday, no one contacted the outside world, and no outsiders entered the Golden Eagle Army. All of them did their own thing and there was no unusual movement.”

Song Xiao Bai frowned and pondered. After several attempts, no spy was found. Maybe he was really overthinking, there was no spy in the unit, just that the Star Pirates happened to ambush the right place in advance?

He tapped his fingers on the table and felt that there was more to it than that, but although the plan to attack the Star Pirates had been shelved for the time being, it could not be delayed any longer. The Emperor was concerned about the matter and the Star Pirates were acting rampantly, so the attack on them was a matter of urgency.

Now that the spy has not been found, the matter can only be shelved for the time being. The strategy of rounding up the Star Pirates will be planned again, and then the attack will be carried out on the next day.

Now that Song Xiao Bai has a plan, he began to act. The previous battle plan was for the sake of finding the spy, so it was not well prepared, this time a detailed deployment had to be made before taking action.

During the deployment period, the Star Pirates robbed a few passing ships, arrogantly arousing the attention of the whole nation, and the pressure from the Emperor and the cabinet grew stronger. Song Xiao Bai was unmoved and did not rush into battle, but meticulously carried out an all-rounded deployment and after several meetings and discussions were held overnight, the strategy was finally finalised.

On the day of the battle, the sky was somewhat overcast, the army was ready to go and the warships carried the men out.

The battle was of vital importance, and Song Xiao Bai was taking his soldiers out personally. As he was about to step off the warship with his soldiers, Tang Wu Yuan’s heart suddenly jumped and he involuntarily called out to him, “Song Xiao Bai!”

When in combat, he had always addressed Song Xiao Bai as Major General and rarely called him by his name in this way.

Song Xiao Bai turned his head back and met Tang Wu Yuan’s clear gaze, which also contained a bit of worry, his eyebrows frowning slightly.

Song Xiao Bai couldn’t help but slightly hook the corners of his lips, his voice low, “Don’t worry.”

Tang Wu Yuan’s lips opened and closed for a moment, but he knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he could only urge in a low voice, “Be careful in everything, if the situation is not good, come back immediately.”

Song Xiao Bai nodded his head and took a big step out, the Lieutenant General, Liaison Officer and others followed him and left the warship in turn, while Tang Wu Yuan took a group of technicians and stayed on board the warship to take command.

He stared at the red dots moving on the screen, his expression grave. Song Xiao Bai and the others were wearing location trackers, through which he could confirm their positions and coordinate his command. The trackers could send out distress signals, so that if they were in danger, he could send someone to rescue them according to their positions.

In the distance, the Pirates moved out in turn, gunshots rang out from time to time, and Tang Wu Yuan held a walkie-talkie, alerting them to the pirates’ position. Everyone was on guard and proceeded in an orderly manner according to the battle plan.

Tang Wu Yuan’s eyes were closely watching the big screen. Just as Song Xiao Bai’s red dot was getting closer and closer to the Pirate warship, a loud bombing sound suddenly came from the distance, the sound boomed and the whole warship shook.

Tang Wu Yuan looked aghast as everyone in the warship gathered in front of the big screen, their eyes staring urgently at the red dots on the top, their hearts all thick with worry.

Tang WuYuan turned on his communicator and called out urgently, “Major General! If you hear me, please answer!”

On the other end of the communicator, there were a few ear-splitting sounds of electricity, but after a few moments there was complete silence, even the sound of electricity was gone.

“Major General!” Tang Wu Yuan did not wait for a long time for an answer, his brow could not help but tighten up, Song Xiao White……he looked at the communicator, his expression was unprecedentedly grave, the palms of his hands clenched up tightly. Because of too much force, the fingertips whitened.

The people around suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, and someone’s voice trembled as he said, “Commander, quick look! The Major General he……”

Tang Wu Yuan jerked his head up to look at the big screen, on which Song Xiao Bai’s red dot suddenly went dark and stopped moving after a flash.

Tang Wu Yuan’s face went white for a moment and his gaze sank fiercely, “Technicians, track the location immediately and see if there are any residual signals.”

The technicians inside the warship immediately began to act, but a moment later they shook their heads, their voices saying urgently, “No, we can’t track it.”

The tracker had lost its signal and the communicator could not be contacted, which meant that Song Xiao Bai must have met with an accident.

The whole room fell silent, a dead silence, everyone’s hearts flooded with an unsettling sense of foreboding.

“What about the signal from the others?” Tang Wu Yuan asked in a deep voice as he propped his hand on the platform.

The technician team leader immediately began to trace them, his forehead covered in an anxious cold sweat, after a moment he said disappointedly: “The signals of the others are still there, but it seems that someone has interfered with our communications, the tracking is very unstable, it is impossible to confirm their location, I need some time.”

Tang Wu Yuan nodded, his gaze pitch black, “You restore the signal as fast as you can.”

He raised his head to look at the soldiers in the room, his voice steady as he ordered, “Squad 2 stay behind and wait for orders, protect the technicians, the rest of you follow me out to meet the Major General!”

“Yes!” The soldiers’ voices were loud and clear, each one standing at attention.

Tang Wu Yuan’s lips were tightly pursed as he led the soldiers out of the warship, he could only hope now that Song Xiao Bai’s tracker was just broken, otherwise……he dared not think about it, and could only quicken his pace and follow the strategic route he had previously tailored to search.

There were quite a few traces left by combat along the way and gunpowder smoke was rolling.

He led his men to carefully avoid dangerous places and sneaked carefully, finally arriving at the location where Song Xiao Bai’s signal had last disappeared, where there were traces of an explosion. There was a large number of mines and the scope of the explosion was extremely large, but what made Tang Wu Yuan rejoice, he led his troops to look around and did not find Song Xiao Bai, which at least meant that Song Xiao Bai should still be alive.

He was slightly relieved, but looking at the traces left at the scene, he couldn’t help but frown. On the way over, he could tell that the Star Pirates had already set an ambush and had planted mines at important locations. Once could be considered a coincidence, but twice would mean that he and Song Xiao Bai were correct in their guess, there really was a spy in the army.

A chill went down his spine, that spy might still be lurking in the army to this day, right next to him or Song Xiao Bai.

His face sank, and his mind raced with thoughts. No matter who the spy was, since the Star Pirates had prepared for this time, he had to find Song Xiao Bai quickly, and then take the soldiers back to the warship together, withdraw the troops first, find the spy, and then make plans later.

His brow was furrowed and a cold aura erupted around him as he silently led his soldiers around to search.

With a gun in hand, he took a few steps in a direction to search when a rustling sound suddenly came from behind him, his pupils dilated slightly and he jerked his head back, raising the gun in his hand.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as he got a good look at the person who appeared behind him, then lowered the gun in his hand as it was the Lieutenant General who stepped out of the grass.

The Lieutenant General held his hands high until he saw Tang Wu Yuan put away his gun, then he put his hands down and walked towards Tang Wu Yuan.

His leg seemed to be wounded as he was limping, and his body was covered with black stains, probably from the explosion.

He walked up to Tang Wu Yuan and said in an urgent voice: “Commander, it’s not good!”

“What’s going on?” Tang Wu Yuan asked with a serious face.

“The Major General is severely injured, he is bleeding non-stop, the Pirates have surrounded him, everyone was only able to forcefully protect him. If the Major General still doesn’t receive treatment, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold out for long. I took the opportunity to run out and look for reinforcements, it’s great to be able to bump into you, quick come with me to save him.

Tang Wu Yuan’s face froze and he said without thinking: “Where is it? Take me there quickly.”

“Yes!” The Lieutenant General nodded and led the way.

Tang Wu Yuan led the soldiers to follow him and after a few steps, his eyes lowered and his gaze rested on the Lieutenant General’s injured leg, staring at it for a moment, and he could not help but frown at once.

The Lieutenant General’s face and clothes were covered with black dust, but where the leg was wounded, there were no abrasions or gun marks on the military trousers, only a few irregular traces of black dust, as if they had been deliberately smeared on.

Tang Wu Yuan’s expression moved and suddenly reacted. His complexion changed and quietly stopped his steps, raising his hand to the soldiers, and then raised his gun and pointed it to the Lieutenant General. The soldiers were all a little surprised by what he had done, but without asking any questions, they raised their guns as they were commanded and aimed at the Lieutenant General at the same time.

Hearing no footsteps following behind him, the Lieutenant General stopped and looked back, seeing Tang Wu Yuan with his gun aimed at him, and asked with some surprise, “Commander, what are you doing?”

Tang Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes, the red dot of the gun aimed at the Lieutenant General’s forehead, his voice cold and certain, “You are the spy.”

The Lieutenant General was in a high position and knew the entire battle plan, which was why the Star Pirates were able to know so much about the Golden Eagle Army’s plans, and his leg was not injured at all, he only pretended to be injured in order to make Tang Wu Yuan let his guard down.

The Lieutenant General looked at Tang Wu Yuan for a moment, then suddenly burst into a smile, and his leg, which had just been limping, stood up straight. The soldiers behind Tang Wu Yuan were all surprised, and their faces became serious and pointed their guns to his forehead like Tang Wu Yuan.

The Lieutenant General was targeted by so many guns but he did not look nervous at all. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and his eyes became cold. He had always been fond of smiling, no one had ever seen him in such a gloomy state before, so they were shocked and felt very unfamiliar. It was as if he had taken off the mask he had been wearing on his face, revealing his original appearance.

melon: dun dun dun…did y’all guess who the spy is? I think it was pretty obvious.
