A soldier under his command said, "General, those two are definitely suspicious. Should we send men to bring them back?"
Wei Ting looked toward the grassy area to the south, his eyes narrowing.
"Send two sharp men to follow them first. Don't startle the snake."
Wei Ting had already reached an agreement with Hu Feng.
He told Hu Feng the news that Qi Peiyao and the child were safe and sound, and promised to spare the Hu Brothers.
First the stick, then the carrot. This was the best way to secure a surrender.
Hu Feng had also told him that Xijin had more than a dozen secret agents in Longzhou. He was never contacted by the same person twice, and he identified them by a special golden totem embroidered on their cuffs.
Wei Ting's position was on the highest ground, giving him a clear view of those who were deliberately hiding. And what was that glinting in the overgrown field, if not the golden totem of Xijin?
'I didn't expect the secret agents to move so quickly.'
