Chapter 133: Capturing the Spy

After the Jianghu Alliance discovered the traces of the enemy's spies, the entire camp quickly entered a state of high alert. Every disciple was on edge, knowing that the slightest negligence could bring disaster to the alliance.

Chen Fei personally led a team of experienced and sharp-eyed disciples to set up strict checkpoints at the main passages of the camp. These checkpoints were distributed on the only way in and out of the camp, forming an insurmountable line of defense. Chen Fei had a serious expression and a sharp gaze. He kept emphasizing to his disciples: "Don't let any one go, and any suspicious signs must be investigated. Even the slightest movement may be a sign of the spy. We must remain highly vigilant and not let the enemy's conspiracy succeed."

The disciples held sharp weapons, stood upright, and kept looking at the people passing by. They carefully checked everyone's identity documents and asked about their duties and activities in the camp. For those who answered vaguely or looked panicked, they would conduct more in-depth questioning and searches.

At the same time, Li Yifeng was secretly observing inside the camp. He shuttled between the tents like a ghost, quietly paying attention to people's words and deeds. His eyes were sharp and meticulous, and he did not miss any possible abnormalities. Li Yifeng stopped from time to time to listen to the conversations of people around him; sometimes he slowed down to observe the changes in someone's expression.

"Pay attention to the person in the corner, his eyes have been avoiding my gaze." Li Yifeng whispered to a disciple beside him.

The disciple immediately walked in the direction pointed by Li Yifeng and questioned the man.

In the mountains and forests around the camp, Zi Yan led some of her people to search carefully. Their footsteps were light, and they tried not to make any noise to avoid alerting the spies who might be hiding in the woods.

"Be careful, don't alert the snakes." Zi Yan whispered to the team members. Although her voice was low, every word was clearly heard by the team members, making them act more cautiously.

The team members dispersed and carefully checked behind every big tree and next to every stone, not missing any place where people might hide.

A day passed, and although the disciples were fully focused and did not miss any suspicious details, they still did not find any obvious traces of spies. However, no one relaxed their vigilance because they knew the enemy's cunning and knew that spies might be hidden very deeply, and it would take longer and more detailed investigations to find them.

At noon the next day, the sun was blazing in every corner of the camp. A disciple in charge of transporting kitchen supplies found a suspicious person near the kitchen of the camp. This person was wearing clothes similar to those of ordinary disciples, but his eyes were erratic and always avoided direct eye contact with others. When he saw someone noticed him, he hurriedly turned around and tried to leave.

"Stop!" The disciple in charge of transportation shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty and vigilance. He put down the supplies in his hand and chased after him without hesitation.

This shout instantly broke the calm of the camp. After hearing it, the nearby disciples rushed to support from their respective posts. Seeing this, the man was shocked and began to flee desperately, trying to use the complex terrain and buildings in the camp to get rid of the pursuit.

After Chen Fei learned the news, he quickly organized people to block the way. "Block all exits and don't let him run away!" His voice echoed in the camp, full of decisiveness and determination.

According to Chen Fei's instructions, the disciples quickly dispersed to the exits of the camp, forming a tight encirclement. They held weapons and waited in a serious battle, staring at every direction where spies might appear.

Under the siege of the crowd, the man was finally trapped in a remote corner. He leaned against the wall, panting, his eyes full of despair and fear.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around the camp?" Chen Fei stepped forward and questioned. His voice was cold and stern, as if it could penetrate the other person's soul.

The man hesitated and tried to make up excuses to cover up his identity and behavior. "I... I'm a new disciple, I... I'm lost." His voice trembled, and his answer was unconvincing.

At this moment, Li Yifeng hurried over. He carefully observed the man's face and clothes, and then said, "I don't think he is our disciple. He should be a spy sent by the enemy. Although his clothes are similar, there are differences in the details, and his accent is not right."

When the man heard Li Yifeng's words, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He knew that he had nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide.

"Take him back and interrogate him strictly!" Chen Fei ordered without hesitation.

In the interrogation room, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing. The man was tied to a chair, and several dim oil lamps were lit around him. The swaying lights reflected his panic-stricken face.

The disciple in charge of the interrogation had a serious expression and a knife-like gaze, looking directly into the eyes of the spy. "Tell me the truth, who are you? What is your purpose here?"

The spy tried to deny it at first, insisting that he was innocent. "I am really a new disciple, you caught the wrong person." His voice was trembling.

The disciple in charge of the interrogation sneered, "Humph, you still don't tell the truth at this time? Do you think we are so easy to fool?"

As he spoke, the disciple picked up the whip beside him and swung it loudly in the air. "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame this whip for being blind."

The spy's body trembled involuntarily, but he still clenched his teeth and refused to speak.

At this moment, an elder of the Jianghu Alliance came in. He looked at the spy quietly for a while with deep eyes, and then slowly said: "Do you think we can't know the truth if you don't tell us? We have some clues. With a little verification, we can find out your identity and purpose clearly. By then, you won't have any chance."

The spy's psychological defense line began to loosen, and his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and fear.

The elder continued: "As long as you tell the truth, we may consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you persist, severe punishment will be waiting for you."

Under the strong pressure of the Jianghu Alliance, the spy finally broke down mentally. He lowered his head and began to explain his identity and mission.

It turned out that he was one of the spies sent by the enemy to investigate the defense deployment and material reserves of the Jianghu Alliance. They also had several companions who had already sneaked into the camp, ready to act when the opportunity arose, and provide accurate intelligence for the enemy's next attack.

After Lin Feng learned of this situation, he immediately ordered a comprehensive investigation. "We must find out the other spies and not let them harm our camp. No corner can be left unchecked, and everyone must be re-examined."

The disciples of the Jianghu Alliance acted quickly and conducted a more rigorous and detailed investigation of everyone in the camp. They checked everyone's identity, asked about their background and recent activities, and did not miss any suspicious clues.

After a careful search and investigation, the Jianghu Alliance successively captured several more spies. Some of these spies were found near the warehouse when they were trying to steal the material list; some were caught at the fortifications, and they were secretly drawing defense maps.

On the issue of dealing with spies, everyone had a disagreement.

"Kill them directly to eliminate future troubles." An impatient disciple advocated, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent. "These spies sneaked into our camp with bad intentions. Keeping them will only cause trouble."

But Zi Yan proposed a different view, "Perhaps we can use them to pass wrong information to the enemy and disrupt their plans. This will not only eliminate the immediate threat, but also take the initiative on the battlefield."

"However, this is too risky. If the enemy finds out, we may fall into a more passive situation." Another disciple said worriedly.

"We can carefully plan to make the intelligence look real and credible. As long as it is done properly, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect it." Zi Yan explained.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally decided to adopt Zi Yan's suggestion.

The Jianghu Alliance carefully planned a series of false intelligence, including exaggerating their own military strength, falsely reporting the strength of fortifications, and fabricating the amount of material reserves. They let the spies pass this intelligence to the enemy, hoping to confuse the enemy's judgment and gain more preparation time and strategic advantages for themselves.

At the same time, they also strengthened their own defense and preparation. On the city wall, more crossbowmen and catapults were added; in the camp, sufficient supplies and medicines were stored; the disciples also underwent more rigorous training to improve their combat capabilities.

A few days passed, and there was no movement from the enemy.

"Did they discover our plan?" A disciple began to worry, and an anxious look appeared on his face.

Lin Feng said calmly: "Don't panic, wait patiently. The enemy will not give up easily, they must be planning something. We must remain vigilant and be ready to respond at any time."

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, the spy came to report that the enemy had new movements...
