Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 200 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous General 8

In order to find evidence of Du Rong's treason as soon as possible, Leng Yuexing also wrote a letter to Fang Yunsu.

He asked Fang Yunsu to investigate who was secretly communicating with Du Rong and to find their correspondence.

After receiving the letter, Fang Yunsu ordered his men to begin a secret investigation.

He also wanted to know who this prince was, since the previous defeat of Fengyu Kingdom had made his father extremely disappointed in the sixth prince who commanded the battle.

The sixth prince was originally a strong contender for the throne, but now his chances of success are slim.

Although he had no intention of participating in the competition for the throne among the princes, he would not turn a blind eye to such despicable methods.

He couldn't imagine what the Phoenix Feather Kingdom would become if such a prince were allowed to ascend the throne.

This investigation lasted for four years. Du Rong was very wary, and each communication was usually spaced several months apart. He would never communicate with the other party unless absolutely necessary.

Finally, Du Rong slipped up when Leng Yuexing and Yun Su intercepted his letters with the seventh prince of Fengyu Kingdom.

The letter stated that the Seventh Prince threatened Du Rong, demanding that Du Rong arrange for his trusted men to lose to Fengyu Kingdom in the upcoming large-scale attack, or he would inform the Emperor of Longyuan Kingdom about Du Rong's treason.

Du Rong could only reply with a compromise and instructed Feng Shi'an to secretly make arrangements to ensure that the Fengyu Kingdom's army would win.

After receiving the letter, Feng Shi'an dared not disobey. Du Rong held many of his secrets, and if he did not comply, he would face certain death.

If he listened to Du Rong, Du Rong might consider the evidence he held and thus save him.

On the same day that Feng Shi'an received the letter, Wenren Mo also received a letter from Leng Yuexing.

In her letter, Leng Yuexing told Wenren Mo about the conversation between Feng Shi'an and Du Rong.

Over the years, Wenrenmo has also found some letters between Feng Shi'an and Du Rong, but none of those letters contain strong evidence to prove that the two colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.

Only now can the few letters intercepted by Leng Yuexing truly serve as evidence.

Wenren Mo has now been promoted to the position of General of the Vanguard due to his military achievements, and is a capable general of General Cao Yan.

Cao Yan repeatedly submitted memorials to the emperor on behalf of Wenren Mo, his words full of praise.

However, if we want to capture Feng Shi'an, we must inform General Cao Yan about this matter.

After careful consideration, Wenren Mo decided to go find General Cao Yan.

It is unknown what Wenren Mo and Cao Yan specifically discussed, but it is known that after Wenren Mo left, Cao Yan ordered his soldiers to secretly arrest Feng Shi'an and publicly announced that Feng Shi'an was injured in an accident and needed to rest in his room.

The letter exchanged between the seventh prince of Fengyu Kingdom and Du Rong did not mention the specific time of his attack on Longyuan Kingdom.

He only mentioned that he would lead the Phoenix Feather Kingdom army to attack the Dragon Abyss Kingdom a month later.

Therefore, the general made advance arrangements at the border and ordered Wenren Mo to patrol the border every day, and to immediately notify the military camp as soon as he discovered the army of Fengyu Kingdom.

Late one night a month later, Wenren Mo was leading his soldiers back to camp to rest when he spotted a flock of startled birds flying in from afar, with a faint flash of light.

Wenren Mo immediately realized that this was the army of Fengyu Kingdom. He immediately sent soldiers back to camp to inform the general, while he and his soldiers hid in the shadows.

The seventh prince of Fengyu Kingdom was also in the procession. He rode confidently on a tall, chestnut horse, holding a torch to light the way ahead.

“Seventh Prince, the light at night is most likely to attract the attention of the soldiers of the Longyuan Kingdom across the way. Please extinguish the fire,” said the thin-faced general, who was also riding a tall horse beside him.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince glanced at him sideways and said, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Besides, I've already told you that I've planted spies in Longyuan Kingdom. This time, we will definitely win."

Half a month ago, the Seventh Prince received a reply from Du Rong, in which he said that General Feng Shi'an of Longyuan Kingdom had made all the arrangements.

He would feign defeat to lure the Phoenix Feather Kingdom's army into the border garrison's camp. Then, all they needed to do was capture all the soldiers of the Dragon Abyss Kingdom while the soldiers were asleep at night.

The thin-faced general didn't believe what the seventh prince said, but the seventh prince was currently the most favored prince by the emperor and the most likely to be chosen as the crown prince, so he followed behind the seventh prince with some doubt.

When the Phoenix Feather Kingdom's army reached the border of the Dragon Abyss Kingdom, Wenren Mo led his soldiers out and then pretended to be frightened as he fled back to the camp.

The seventh prince, sitting on his horse, laughed heartily and turned to the thin-faced general, saying, "Look, those are my spies. As long as we follow them, we can reach the border garrison camp directly!"

"Soldiers! Follow me!" the Seventh Prince shouted, and then he took the lead and rushed towards the border garrison camp with Wenren Mo.

The soldiers of Fengyu Kingdom charged into the camp, and after the thin-faced general followed the seventh prince into the depths of the camp, they finally realized that something was wrong.

When they rushed in from the camp gate, they didn't see any border guards, and now that they've gone deeper into the camp, they haven't seen a single person.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" the thin-faced general shouted.

The Seventh Prince looked around in disbelief. "What's going on?"

Just then, the border guards, like ghosts, silently rushed out from the shadows and instantly engaged in battle with the soldiers of Fengyu Kingdom.

Wenren Mo rushed out from the shadows and instantly killed the thin-faced general sitting on his tall horse.

He then grabbed the panicked seventh prince, pulled him off his horse, and held a sword to his neck.

"Your general has been executed. If you still want your seventh prince's life, put down your weapons!" Wenren Mo shouted.

His deep, cold voice reached the ears of countless soldiers present. Upon hearing Wenren Mo's words, the soldiers of Fengyu Kingdom stopped fighting and put down their weapons.

This time, they caught the enemy like fish in a jar, capturing all the soldiers of Fengyu Kingdom with almost no effort, a truly great victory!

Afterwards, General Cao Yan reported the incident to the emperor.

After learning what had happened, the emperor ordered Du Rong to be arrested.

When Du Rong was captured, he was still enjoying himself in his mansion. When he saw the soldiers rushing into the mansion, he thought that the emperor had sent him to the border to fight the enemy.

He straightened his clothes slightly and said, "My luggage is packed, and I can head to the border immediately."

Upon hearing this, Jin'an, who had come to arrest Du Rong, smiled contemptuously, "To the border? General Du Rong, you must have misunderstood! It is the Emperor who ordered us to arrest you, a traitor who colludes with the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Du Rong looked at Jin An in shock, "What did you say? What's going on?"
