29 Mole (1)
"Mole. ”
"No way. These soldiers are all carefully selected and loyal, how can there be a traitor. ”
"No way. ”
Xie Yun said with some disbelief.
If there are traitors in the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, who can be trusted now. Each candidate for the City Lord's Mansion will investigate the situation within three generations before entering, and the slightest abnormality will be brushed down.
Then there is the question of personal loyalty, and after several rigorous tests, it is determined that there is no problem before entering. Anyone who has a problem, even a little, will not enter the pro-guard.
The City Lord's Mansion guards are the last barrier of the City Lord's Mansion, and there are traitors in the City Lord's Mansion, so the situation in the City Lord's Mansion is more serious than Xie Yun thought.
After being quiet for a while, Xie Yun asked Ye Xiu.
"Brother Ye, you said that there is a mole in the team, what evidence do you have?"
Xie Yun is a smart person, although she doesn't want to admit it in her heart, but this kind of thing has to be guarded against. She knew that Ye Xiu was not a person who talked nonsense.
Ye Xiu took out a small piece of charcoal from his pocket.
"Charcoal. ”
Xie Yun looked at Ye Xiu suspiciously, she didn't know what the traitor had to do with charcoal.
Ye Xiu handed the charcoal to Xie Yun.
"Do you smell it?"
Xie Yun took the charcoal, put it to his nose and smelled it, there was only a smell of charcoal, nothing else. She looked at Ye Xiu suspiciously.
"Brother Ye, is there anything abnormal?"
"You sniff it. ”
Ye Xiu said.
Xie Yun put it to her nose again, sniffed it carefully, and after a long time, she noticed a different trace of smell in the charcoal, it was a faint one, if it wasn't carefully separated, she wouldn't be able to smell it at all.
Ye Xiu said to Xie Yun.
"That's the smell of animal powder, you should have heard of it?"
"This smell doesn't have any flavor when it's ignited, it's no color, only when it's burned, it leaves a faint smell on the burned charcoal. If you don't distinguish this flavor carefully, ordinary people won't be able to find anything abnormal at all. ”
The expression on Xie Yun's face suddenly became serious, she didn't believe it in her heart just now, but at this moment, all hesitation disappeared.
There are traitors in the ranks.
Someone in the Guards betrayed her.
The Shadow Panther attack was not accidental, it was attracted by the Beast Attracting Powder.
······
For a moment, she thought of many.
If it wasn't Ye Xiu who was looking for it this time, but someone else, she estimated that she would have died in the Dark Forest by now. No wonder she felt a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness from the moment she set out, and now she knew.
Xie Yun's face changed several times before he said to Ye Xiu.
"Thank you Brother Ye this time, if it wasn't for Brother Ye finding out early, I guess I wouldn't even know how I died. ”
She had a self-deprecating smile on her face.
Then, Xie Yun lowered her voice and said to Ye Xiu.
"Brother Ye, have you found out who the traitor in the team is?"
Ye Xiu shook his head, he also found it last night, the time was too short, and the traitor was also very cautious, although Ye Xiu carefully paid attention to every move in the team, he didn't find anything abnormal.
Xie Yun's eyes showed disappointment, if Ye Xiu knew who it was, the problem would be easy to handle. Not knowing is the scariest thing, everyone is possible, and it is extremely difficult to investigate.
Xie Yun stood up and said.
"Brother Ye, let's go find Uncle Cousin, he is the commander, he knows the things in the team very well, he should be able to see that something is abnormal. ”
Ye Xiu nodded.
Anyone in the team can be a traitor, that is, it is impossible for Xie Changlin, with Xie Changlin's acquired cultivation, it is too simple to kill Xie Yun secretly, there is no need to engage in these small actions.
When Ye Xiu and Xie Yun found Xie Changlin, Xie Changlin was on the top of a small hill not far from the entrance of the cave, and he had just buried the ten soldiers who had died in the attack of the Shadow Leopard, and he was standing there, looking at the mound of dirt, and scattering the wine in his hand on the mound.
"Let's drink it one last time, I won't have a chance to drink it later. ”
"Wang San, your kid always says to marry a daughter-in-law, but he didn't marry until he reached thirty, and finally found a beautiful daughter-in-law this year, and your parents are still waiting for you to pass on the family lineage, but I didn't expect to die in the dark forest······"
"Li Si, I remember when I first arrived at the pro-guards, your kid's swordsmanship was the worst, and I didn't like you at that time. I didn't expect you kid to know how to endure hardships and practice hard every day, which is much better than those soldiers who drink whenever they have time. A few days ago, I also said that I would teach you a few swordsmanship when I was free, but I didn't expect it to be gone in a blink of an eye. ”
······
Xie Changlin was very sad, he talked about the dead soldiers one by one, and in the end, the tears finally couldn't hold back and flowed out, these people were brought out by him one by one, and he didn't expect to die here.
Xie Yun and Ye Xiu stood aside, did not speak, and waited for Xie Changlin to finish mourning before they walked over.
"Miss, what are you looking for me?"
Xie Changlin was in a gloomy mood.
Xie Yun walked in front of the mound, and there were ten soldiers lying in it who had died for her, and she bowed deeply three times.
After that, he walked up to Xie Changlin and said.
"Uncle Cousin, there is a mole in the team. ”
Xie Changlin's face turned pale and then red.
"Miss, you can insult me, but you must not insult my soldiers, each of them is an iron-clad man. Even in the face of death, they will not blink their eyes, and there will never be a traitor among them. ”
Before Xie Yun came, he had already thought of Xie Changlin's reaction. So she took out the evidence that Ye Xiu gave her just now and explained it to Xie Changlin carefully.
In the face of ironclad facts, Xie Changlin also had to admit that there were moles in the team.
He seemed to have blood dripping from his heart, and his soldiers, every one of them was carefully selected by him, and at any time before today, he dared to pat his chest to pledge their loyalty, but at this moment, he was silent.
Xie Yun asked tentatively.
"Uncle Cousin, can you find out who is the mole in the team?"
Xie Changlin said.
"Three days, at least three days, I will definitely find out who is the mole. ”
"Three days. ”
Xie Yun thought about it, she felt that the time was a little long.
Ye Xiu opened his mouth and said.
"Commander Xie, three days is too long, since there is a traitor in the team, then the traitor must have a connection with the blood wolf thief. Maybe we've been exposed all the way through. ”
"If it was before, the blood wolf thieves were looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was not easy to find us, but now, there are traitors who have betrayed us, and we are like a light in the dark, and I conclude that the blood wolf thieves will soon catch up. ”
"We probably won't be able to wait three days. ”
Xie Changlin said.
"Three days is already the fastest, this kind of thing must be investigated secretly, if the trouble is in the open, people are panicked, and the team will be chaotic. When the time comes, we don't need to chase and kill the blood wolf thieves, and we will collapse first. ”
Xie Changlin also wanted to find out the traitor immediately, but the traitor was very hidden and needed to be found privately, and he couldn't bring it to the surface, otherwise things would be even more chaotic.
