Chapter 1300
After the scout finished speaking, seeing Zhang Dequan nod, he turned around and chased after Wei Wu in the direction he had left.
As a scout, I have extensive experience in tracking and counter-tracking, so there's no need to worry about losing track of me.
Moreover, Wei Wu left on foot, so catching up with him would be no problem at all.
After leaving the military camp gate, the scouts found Wei Wu's trail in just a few minutes and quickly followed.
They followed cautiously for about ten minutes until they finally saw Wei Wu and Zhang Hai stop.
However, at this moment, the scouts' attention was no longer on Wei Wu, but on the enormous creature beside them.
That's right, the scout who was following Wei Wu spotted the helicopter, although he didn't know what the helicopter was for.
However, the fact that the fuselage, made of steel and over twenty meters long, was enough to shatter his worldview.
Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time he had ever seen something like this, and in his daze, he even forgot that he was following someone.
As a result, while he was distracted, he accidentally stepped on a dry branch.
Click!
A soft, crisp sound, though not very loud, still startled the scout awake instantly.
Unfortunately, he realized it was too late. Although the sound of the branch breaking was faint, he wasn't the only one who heard it.
So, while the scout was awake, he also heard voices coming from Wei Wu's side.
"I didn't want to call you out, but you insisted on making a scene. You've been following us for so long, it's time to come out!"
The person who said this was Zhang Hai. He had already noticed that someone was following him, and it was the scout who had just returned with military intelligence.
So he told Wei Wu about it directly. Wei Wu simply told Zhang Hai not to take any action yet and to observe the situation.
He was unsure whether the scout was following him on his own initiative or whether the commander had sent him.
As a result, the scouts followed them all the way to the helicopter, but none of them did anything out of line, so Wei Wu didn't bother to expose them.
Unexpectedly, the scout exposed himself, which prompted Zhang Hai to point him out.
On the other side, upon hearing Zhang Hai's words, the scout realized that he had been exposed and simply showed himself and came out.
Upon seeing the scout appear, Zhang Hai remained silent this time, while Wei Wu asked a question with a smile.
"You've traveled a long way back, why aren't you in the army camp but following me? What's the reason?"
The scout remained silent, merely watching Wei Wu. Seeing this, Wei Wu roughly guessed the reason and spoke again.
"I don't want to lay a hand on my own people, so you'd better honestly tell me your stance and identity, whether you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty or an enemy."
"This will determine whether you die here or leave alive. If you're one of us, tell me why you're following me."
"Otherwise, I will assume you are an enemy spy, and you know what happens when a spy is discovered!"
Wei Wu's words were not only a demand on the scout, but also a statement of his own position, albeit in a rather crude manner.
However, the scout understood his meaning, so after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke tentatively.
"I can answer that, but I want to confirm one thing first: are you really the Duke of Zhenguo?"
When questioned by the scouts, Wei Wu simply spread his hands.
"Without a doubt!"
Upon hearing this, the scout did not hesitate this time and directly explained why he had been following them.
"Reporting to the Duke, the Commander said that you did not allow him to open or close the gate, and he wants to know how you will leave the pass if the gate is closed."
After hearing the scout's description, Wei Wu was both amused and exasperated. He had thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this.
However, Wei Wu understood why Zhang Dequan had sent scouts; besides the issue of leaving the pass, there were probably two other reasons.
