Luo Kai pinched her calf, and the sharp knife fiercely cut and gouged. An oval-shaped bullet was dug out, and then he smeared it on the wound and wrapped it tightly with a piece of cloth.
The little female soldier was in so much pain that her whole body was trembling, but she didn't make a sound. This made Luo Kai's bad impression of her lessen a lot. He went to the stream to wash his hands, and then said, "Okay, I'm leaving. You find a place to recuperate."
Seeing that Luo Kai was about to leave, Yue Han was a little anxious. She opened her mouth, but her temperament made her unable to open her mouth. Moreover, she had wronged this person.
Seeing that Luo Kai's figure gradually disappeared, her eyes couldn't help but redden. This guy was really a bastard. He actually abandoned her!
There was no one in the wilderness, so she simply cried out loud. While sobbing, she struggled to stand up. She looked around blankly, not knowing where to go.
Just when she was alone and helpless, a familiar voice sounded in her ears, "Okay, don't cry. Alas, I'm too soft-hearted. I found a cave for you to recuperate. Come, I'll carry you."
Luo Kai appeared behind her without her knowing. He looked at her with a smile.
"It's none of your business!"
Yue Han hurriedly wiped the tears on her cheeks. She was even more annoyed. This guy obviously didn't leave at all. He deliberately wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
"Do you think I really want to care about you? My face is not as important as my life!"
Luo Kai directly stepped forward, picked her up, and walked in the direction of the cave.
"Bastard, let go!"
Yue Han struggled violently again, but the arms that were wrapped around her body were like iron shackles. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move them at all. In the end, she could only stop panting. Only then did she feel that the embrace was very comfortable. There wasn't any bumpy feeling. Moreover, this fellow's body was like a big stove, very warm. Her fatigue from the past few days had subsided a lot, and she felt a little drowsy.
After a while, Yue Han couldn't help but steal a glance at Luo Kai. She saw that this guy's face was covered in blood and dirt. His skin was gray, his beard was unshaven, and his hair was messy. He looked sloppy, but his eyes were extremely bright. A little starlight surrounded the whirlpool-like darkness, making people unable to help but be intoxicated. How could there be such beautiful eyes in the world?!
… …
Arriving at a small cave, Luo Kai settled Yue Han down. He then got up and went out to hunt. There were many animals in the mountain forest. He hunted an old deer and carried it back to the cave entrance. He skinned it and dismembered it. Without washing it, he directly started a fire and roasted it.
He brought a roasted deer leg to Yue Han. For some reason, this little female soldier suddenly became docile. When she saw Luo Kai come in, her face even reddened. She took the deer leg and ate it in small bites.
"This cave should be very safe. If you can walk, go back by yourself. I still have things to do. I really have to go!"
Yue Han put down the food in her hand. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you. You … what's your name?"
"My name is Luo Kai. You're Yue Han, right? Your name is very pleasant to hear. Oh … the body technique you used before was also very special."
Luo Kai suddenly thought of something. He stopped and asked, "Have you been in Ironwood Castle these days?
How did the Ironwood Fort fall so quickly? "
Yue Han said angrily, "Someone did something to the armory. The shells became duds. The cannons guarding Ironwood Castle became decorations. The fuel in the fuel storage was also all gone. It must be the work of the Secret Service of Nanzhao Kingdom!"
Luo Kai furrowed his brows. No wonder the Ironwood Fort was so easily breached. It turned out that there was a problem with the ammunition store. However, this was not something that could be done so easily. There had to be a spy in the upper echelons of the Starhorse military. He had already given the slip of paper he obtained to Old Fu. Could it be that Old Fu did not report it, or was it too late?
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Are you related to the Combatant Department? Can you decipher their intelligence?"
Yue Han hesitated for a moment. She nodded and said, "I know people from the Combatant Department. I also know some of their communication codes. If it's too complicated, I'll have to go back and look through the information."
"I have a piece of intelligence here. Help me take a look and see if there's anything else."
Luo Kai found a wooden stick and began to write and draw on the ground. He already had a photographic memory, so he could recite the contents of the slip of paper from that day.
When she saw a familiar name, Yue Han could not help but exclaim, "Minister Zhang, that's impossible. He … he has been with the Lord for decades. He is the Lord's most trusted person!"
"Some people say that the intelligence of the Combatant Department is not only on the surface. There should be other meanings in it. Take a look again!"
Yue Han stood up with her hands on the rock wall. She took the wooden stick from Luo Kai's hand and disassembled the words one by one on the ground. The strokes of each word and various punctuation marks were sorted according to different rules. Finally, they were combined again. About ten minutes later, she used the strokes to form two words on the ground: "Changyuan!"
Not only was Luo Kai shocked, but Yue Han also sat on the ground with a face full of disbelief. Then, she anxiously asked, "How did you get this intelligence? General Changyuan commands 100,000 soldiers of the Tiger Vigor Army. He can't be a spy!"
The Tiger Vigor Army was the most elite main force in Seongma Province. If Changyuan was a spy, there was no need to fight this war. Luo Kai was also very doubtful, so he said, "I accidentally saved someone. He gave it to me before he died."
"No, no matter if it's true or not, we have to report it to the Lord immediately!
You … you obtained such important intelligence. Why didn't you report it? "
Luo Kai did not answer. He stood up and walked out of the cave. He looked up at the dark clouds caused by the smoke of war in the sky. His experiences in the past few days quickly went through his mind. Although it was hard to believe, this intelligence might be true.
With Changyuan's status, he would not be a spy. He might be conspiring with the Nanzhao Kingdom because the most elite Tiger Vigor Army had not suffered any major losses until now.
Blackstone was closely related to this war. Why didn't Old Fu report it?
There was only one possibility. Blackstone might also be one of the accomplices.
Luo Kai really did not want to get involved in this kind of power struggle. However, things often went against one's wishes. In fact, when he got the note, the situation could not be changed. However, the betrayal of a trusted person was often the most difficult to accept.
For these people who held top power, war was only a tool to achieve their personal goals. Now, Seongma Province only had Pingshan Port left in the Tieheng Mountain military base. Although there were warships supporting it, it could not withstand the siege of the Nanzhao Kingdom's army. The result of losing the war would definitely be Duke Ivon's withdrawal from the position of Lord. There would also be domestic disputes again.
A small dot appeared in the sky. It was a winged person who spread his wings. He circled and approached. When he saw Luo Kai, he immediately blew a whistle. The sharp whistle spread far and wide.
The winged people's attire was similar. It was difficult to tell whether they were friend or foe. Luo Kai turned back and said, "Someone has found us. He might be up to no good. We can't stay here."
Yue Han anxiously limped out. She looked up at the winged person circling in the sky and exclaimed, "It's the person who caught me. Run!"
Luo Kai's eyes were cold. He took out the large pistol at his waist and aimed at the winged person in the sky. He raised his hand and fired. This gun was indeed extraordinary. The recoil was extremely strong. The rumbling sound of the gunshot was deafening. The bullet the size of a pinky shot out.
Unfortunately, the winged person was very alert. He immediately dodged to the side and quickly climbed up. He blew the whistle again. The sharp whistle resounded through the forest.
No matter how powerful Luo Kai was, he could not do anything to these guys who could fly. He could only bend down and carry Yue Han on his back and run.
Those who ran on the ground could not compete with those who flew in the sky. The winged person followed closely and blew the whistle from time to time.
Soon, the forest became lively. A large number of well-trained men in black rushed here. At the same time, a two-winged fighter plane flew over and swooped down to shoot at them.
Luo Kai's blood boiled again. He tried his best to catch the trajectory of the bullets. The fighter plane was equipped with machine guns, which were much more powerful than ordinary guns. The hundred-year-old trees beside him were smashed by the bullets. The bullets even made potholes on the ground.
