A daily intelligence report; in chaotic times and famine years, grain is plentiful.
Chapter 259 Is this really a bandit?
Tiankeng Campsite.
The wooden cell was dimly lit.
Xiao Yunling closed her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed.
Today marks the seventh day since her capture. During these seven days, people have been bringing her food, mostly young girls and women, but the traitor Chen Mo has not been seen.
The fact that the bandits treated her so politely only made Xiao Yunling more suspicious.
Chen Mo must have had another purpose.
However, there was still no movement from the Zhenbei Army.
Could it be that his subordinates haven't found this place yet?
Or have they already given up?
Impossible. She personally trained the Yun Battalion, and the soldiers will never abandon her.
It must be that the traitor Chen Mo is too cunning that has caused the soldiers to suffer setbacks at every turn.
Now that she's no longer in the military, I wonder what her situation is now.
Just then, the cell door was pushed open.
Xiao Yunling suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze instantly turning cold.
Chen Mo, whom she loathed, was standing at the door at that moment.
"General Xiao, you look quite well today."
Chen Mo said calmly.
Xiao Yunling didn't reply, but stared intently at him, her eyes still revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Chen Mo ignored her hostility, simply walked forward slowly, bent down and untied the ropes on her ankles, then loosened the bindings on her hands.
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yunling questioned in a cold voice.
The bandit made many small moves, repeatedly touching her hands and feet, which made her quite unhappy.
Recalling when he was first brought here, Chen Mo had spoken frivolously, which was truly heinous.
"Shall we take you somewhere else? Or does General Xiao intend to remain tied up here indefinitely?"
As Chen Mo spoke, he grabbed her arm.
"Don't touch this general!"
Xiao Yunling shouted angrily. Seeing that her hands and feet were being untied, she was about to take the opportunity to deal with Chen Mo, but the next moment, Chen Mo tied another rope around her and put her hands behind her back.
"Looks like you're still not being honest."
Chen Mo said, and then pushed Xiao Yunling forward.
Xiao Yunling refused to be manipulated by Chen Mo and stood firmly in place, even at the cost of her life.
"If you're not going to walk, do you want me to carry you?"
Chen Mo joked.
Seeing this guy's frivolous appearance, Xiao Yunling was furious.
Just go!
She wanted to see what tricks this traitor was up to this time.
Chen Mo led her out of the cell by the rope binding her hand.
The sunlight outside shone on Xiao Yunling's face, and she finally regained her sight, squinting slightly.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, she was able to see the scene before her clearly and was immediately stunned.
What place is this?
Looking around, rows of neat houses are in front of you, and many people are busy building and repairing them.
In the open space not far away, several children were chasing and playing, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Turning my head again, I saw some women and elderly people picking vegetables under the shade of the trees.
These people looked quite calm, not at all like the bandit hideout Xiao Yunling had imagined; rather, it resembled an ordinary village.
Xiao Yunling slowed her pace subconsciously, her eyes filled with doubt.
When she first heard the rumors that Chen Mo had kidnapped villagers and committed arson, murder, and looting, she now saw a peaceful scene.
Are these people in front of me really bandits?
"Where exactly is this place?"
Xiao Yunling asked in a cold voice.
"This is the village we rebuilt. Didn't your Zhenbei Army occupy Lingtou Village? We just need to escape here."
Chen Mo replied calmly.
Xiao Yunling's face was cold, and she didn't say anything more.
She followed Chen Mo through the camp, attracting the attention of passersby from time to time.
A moment later, Chen Mo led her to a wooden house.
It was fairly spacious and very clean. Apart from a wooden bed and a table and chairs, there was nothing else, but the conditions were significantly better than the previous cell.
"You'll be living here from now on."
As Chen Mo spoke, he gently pushed Xiao Yunling inside, and then untied the ropes binding her hands.
Xiao Yunling stood blankly at the door, looking around, but did not run away.
She knew very well that she was in Chen Mo's stronghold and had no way to escape.
Moreover, she had been under a lot of stress and was physically weak these days, so she was no match for Chen Mo.
"What is your purpose, and how long do you intend to imprison me?"
Xiao Yunling's expression was gloomy.
"Three months. I have reached a ceasefire agreement with your men. As long as things remain peaceful for these three months, I will let you go."
Chen Mo replied.
"Impossible! My men will never compromise with a traitor like you!"
Xiao Yunling immediately retorted.
Chen Mo smiled faintly, took out a letter from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "Read it yourself."
Xiao Yunling hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took it.
Upon opening it, she immediately frowned.
The handwriting on the letter was indeed that of her deputy, Liu Zhixiu. Chen Mo had never met Liu Zhixiu, so it was obvious that she could not imitate his handwriting.
The letter clearly stated that the Yunzi Camp had indeed reached a ceasefire agreement with Chen Mo, warning Chen Mo not to harm her in the slightest.
Xiao Yunling gripped the letter tightly in her hand, her eyes growing increasingly uneasy.
Ultimately, the soldiers of the Yun Battalion compromised with the bandits because of her, a captured soldier.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunling felt a pang of guilt.
"By the way, during our battle a few days ago, we captured several of your men alive. Don't worry, they were all properly taken care of, just like you."
Chen Mo added.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunling clenched her fists.
"So I advise you to behave yourself and not try to escape or harm anyone in the camp, otherwise your men will be implicated."
Chen Mo spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
He could tell that this female general was stubborn and that ordinary methods could not subdue her.
"If you behave yourself, I might consider letting you move around freely in the camp in the future. You can stay in this cabin for the next few days."
"Traitor! You'd better kill me. If you let me go back, you'll pay the price later."
Xiao Yunling said in a deep voice, glaring angrily at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo smiled helplessly and said, "Here we go again. I've already said I have no hostility towards you. For the safety of your subordinates, I'll have to trouble you for now."
"roll!"
Xiao Yunling cursed angrily.
"OK."
Chen Mo shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, turned and left the room, locking the door behind him.
It's quite remarkable that such a hot-tempered female general is currently imprisoned in the camp.
To show his sincerity, Chen Mo didn't continue to tie her hands and feet, but since he had kidnapped her, the other party certainly wouldn't be polite.
There's nothing we can do but wait another three months.
During these three months, as long as the people of Lingtou Village can focus on farming and storing grain, they can live a relatively peaceful life.
As for what this female general will think in the future, Chen Mo has no way of controlling it.
Inside the house, Xiao Yunling stood alone, staring at the closed door, still feeling resentful.
What exactly is this traitor Chen Mo trying to do?
