In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 109 Revealing Identity

Standing on high ground, Qin Xuanyu quickly figured out the traps and mechanisms set up here.

In fact, this formation was not difficult for him, but because of the thick fog, it was hard to distinguish between the real and the fake. At the same time, a deceptive technique was set up, which seemed to be a gate of life, but was actually a gate of death.

Qin Xuanyu stood on high ground, directing his soldiers to move and flip over certain stones at designated points to break the formation.

These soldiers were well-trained and worked together perfectly, quickly moving all the stones that Qin Xuanyu needed.

Then, Qin Xuanyu said to Jiang Qingyue, "The treetops in the northeast and southwest correspond to each other. You and I will break through the treetops at the same time."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, borrowed a knife from one of the soldiers, and the two of them rushed up the tree. When Qin Xuanyu gave the order, the two of them simultaneously raised their knives and brought the branches on the treetop to the ground.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the thick fog around them had dissipated considerably, and the road, which had been difficult to see before, was now much clearer.

"The formation has been broken!"

At this moment, while the group of soldiers were happy, their gazes towards Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue became somewhat strange.

These two people, who are not good-looking, have such skills and knowledge. Are they really just doctors?

The soldiers not only felt doubt, but also a strong sense of vigilance.

They didn't know why such a capable person would become a doctor, let alone why they would enter their military camp. If they harbored any disloyalty, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At the same time, they admired them, realizing that they themselves would probably have perished there long ago.

Therefore, the soldiers had a very subtle understanding of Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue's attitudes.

Jiang Qingyue didn't understand their thoughts. After she helped Qin Xuanyu break the formation, Qin Xuanyu led the way, and the group quickly returned to the camp.

Finally, just as the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, the group left the Misty Forest and returned to their camp.

Back at the camp, the squad leader told the captain everything.

After hearing this, the captain felt the same way as the soldier.

He summoned the soldier who had recommended Jiang Qingyue and Qin Xuanyu and asked him about it. He was told that he had never seen the two of them, but had only heard of them and sent a letter to them.

At this point, the captain's face instantly darkened.

So, their identities are unknown?

"You..." The captain pointed at the soldier, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

The captain ordered Jiang Qingyue and Qin Xuanyu to be brought in. Looking at their ugly faces now, they seemed increasingly fake; it was probably…

Thinking of this, the captain spoke seriously, "You two are exceptionally capable, not only able to break formations but also skilled in medicine and martial arts. You must not be ordinary people. May I ask what your true identities are and what brings you here?"

Although it was an inquiry, the captain's sharp gaze was fixed on Jiang Qingyue and Qin Xuanyu, clearly showing his suspicion.

Recalling that the emperor had also come looking for someone before, the captain had a bad feeling, but he didn't say it and wanted to see how they would respond.

If they really are fugitives or spies, then let's just deal with them on the spot.

Jiang Qingyue knew that her and Qin Xuanyu's act would definitely arouse their suspicion.

Jiang Qingyue gestured, and the captain immediately understood. He sent everyone around him away, leaving only the three of them.

"Tell me, what are your identities?"

Jiang Qingyue did not continue to hide it, but said directly: "Jiang Qingyue, Gu Yuan's daughter."

He didn't mention Jiang An, but directly said his mother's name.

The captain didn't react immediately.

Gu Yuan? Isn't that...?

Thinking of this, the captain's eyes widened in surprise. "So, with your appearance..."

Seeing that there was no one else around, Jiang Qingyue tore off her human skin mask, revealing her true face.

Seeing that stunning face, and the resemblance between the eyes and brows to the young lady, the captain was certain that the person in front of him was the young lady's daughter!

"Is it really you? Miss? That's wonderful! The General will be so happy to hear that."

Now all of Jiang Qingyue's actions can be explained.

They were supposed to be looking for the antidote, but they ended up helping them find General Gu's whereabouts. After learning Jiang Qingyue's identity, everything made sense.

Since Jiang Qingyue is an imposter, then the person next to her...

The captain's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle. "Could this be the son-in-law?"

Jiang Qingyue froze on the spot. This person was really something, talking nonsense!

“He’s not,” Jiang Qingyue quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding. “He is…”

Jiang Qingyue was at a loss for words, after all, Qin Xuanyu's identity was special and it was not appropriate to say it easily.

Seeing Jiang Qingyue's embarrassed appearance, Qin Xuanyu found it quite amusing and also wanted to know how he would fabricate his identity.

In the end, Jiang Qingyue resigned herself to her fate. "That's right, he is the one I love. He came with me this time because he was worried about me coming alone."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue's face flushed red.

Qin Xuanyu raised an eyebrow slightly, tacitly agreeing.

"I knew it! It had to be the son-in-law! So, son-in-law, could you..."

The captain thought that since the young lady had disguised herself, then the young master must also have disguised himself.

"He's shy, so... so he doesn't need to watch!"

Jiang Qingyue knew that once Qin Xuanyu showed his face, and since the captain was a military man, he would definitely have seen Qin Xuanyu before, then everything would become unclear.

The captain wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Then let's wait for the general to return. When the general returns, he will naturally show his face.

“Captain, actually, there’s something else we need to discuss,” Jiang Qingyue said.

"Miss, please speak."

"The reason I came here is because I heard about my grandfather. Moreover, the Misty Forest is the territory of the Ghost Sect in the martial arts world. In addition, the signal left by my grandfather shows that this matter is inseparable from the Ghost Sect."

Moreover, given the precision of the Ghost Sect's objectives, I suspect that not only the Ghost Sect was involved, but also people within the court, given how quickly the emperor found out.

After confirming that the captain was one of their own, Jiang Qingyue revealed her suspicions, intending to tell the captain not to reveal their true identities.

The captain nodded knowingly. "Miss, you're right. Don't worry, I'll pretend I know nothing about this today. As for the traitor, how would you like to investigate? Just give me your orders."

In the captain's eyes, the Gu family army belonged to General Gu, and Jiang Qingyue was the general's granddaughter, so naturally they listened to her.

However, Jiang Qingyue shook her head, "I cannot interfere in military affairs, but I hope you will investigate the matter of the traitor secretly without alerting too many people."

"Don't worry, young lady. If anyone really wants to harm the General, I will be the first to object. I will make sure they pay the price!"

The captain patted his chest and assured him.

"Who do you want to pay the price for?" At that moment, a powerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the tent...
