Chapter 144: Find out the prince's undercover agent
After the banquet, the ministers were already very drunk, and they were helped out of the banquet hall by their respective attendants. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info.
The leader of Zongbu almost didn't drink, because Xiao Zhang already knew that he was an artifact parasite, and announced the news in public, so he seemed to be preoccupied and had no intention of drinking at all.
Despite this, the leader of Zongbu still believed that Xiao Zhang's actions must have made sense.
Although Xiao Zhang claimed to be a thousand cups not drunk, he still had a plan today, and he couldn't be sloppy in the slightest, so he took the hangover medicine he prepared in advance and became a real thousand cups not drunk.
But in order to be able to do a better job, he had to pretend to be drunk.
The auxiliary ministers left the banquet hall one after another, but the general Wu Di and the first assistant Luo Kecheng did not leave, the two were drunk, hooked each other's shoulders and backs, and said some inconsequential drunken words with their tongues rolled.
As they spoke, the two talked about the rebellion in the council hall that day, and they didn't know whether it was drunk or deliberate acting, and the two were so ashamed that they finally hugged their heads and cried with remorse.
The two of you say a sentence to me, crying and talking about what can't stand the cultivation of the leader and the expectations of the people of the Zongbu tribe, it is really emotional and tear-jerking.
The leader stared at the two of them coldly, because he had already guessed something, Xiao Zhang deliberately said about the artifact parasite, perhaps to see who would stay, and the person who stayed was most likely the prince's undercover agent.
Because the prince has been coveting the artifact, and the undercover agent he sent must have been for the purpose of obtaining the artifact, and now that the identity of the leader's artifact parasite has been announced, the undercover agent naturally has a reason to stay and seek an opportunity to extend his grip on the leader.
Xiao Zhang's plan did not seem to be going well, and according to his expectations, only one person would stay, and he would find an opportunity to talk privately with the leader of Zongbu in order to take the opportunity to capture the leader.
However, at this moment, there were two people left, and it was the two people that Xiao Zhang suspected, Wu Di and Luo Kecheng.
Xiao Zhang was a little distressed, he had been entangled in judging which one was the prince's undercover agent, but the result at the moment still made him unable to judge.
Could it be that these two people are undercover agents of the prince?
No, it won't! According to the general principle, one undercover agent is enough, and two undercover agents are inevitably a bit cumbersome, and they will be easily exposed because the target is too large.
At this time, the two people who were hugging their heads and crying were a little excited, and they knelt in front of the leader, crying and making amends to the leader.
The leader immediately put away his cold look, helped the two of them cordially, and said kindly: "The two Aichen don't have to be like this, this leader is by no means a narrow-minded person, just forgive you." Let's go outside and talk together. ”
As he spoke, the leader helped the two of them to walk outside the banquet hall, and when he was about to go out, the leader looked back at Xiao Zhang, and said with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Virtuous son-in-law, you go back first, this leader wants to have a chat with the two Aichen." ”
Xiao Zhang naturally understood that the leader was cooperating with his plan to further test who was the prince's undercover agent. So, he nodded, turned around and left the banquet hall, but he didn't go far, but hid his whole body breath and secretly observed Wu Di and Luo Kecheng's every move.
When they came to the back garden of Zongbu Palace, Wu Di and Luo Kecheng were so drunk that they didn't care about their identities at all, and they hooked up with the leader and poured out their hearts, and the scene was very touching.
Xiao Zhang was secretly observing carefully, and at the same time thinking rapidly.
If he blindly waits for the undercover agent to be exposed, the leader will definitely be in danger, and it will be difficult to rescue the leader from his hands when the time comes, so he must find out the undercover agent in advance.
He remembered what Zhang Wu had said, the most unlikely person is often the most likely person, so who among these two people is the one who seems to be the most unlikely?
The two of them poured out tears in their eyes, but there must be one person who is acting, and the person who is acting should be the one who can't act the least.
So, among the two, who is the least able to act?
Wu Di has a rough temper and an upright temperament, while Luo Kecheng is calm and sophisticated, and his heart is deep, comparing the two slightly, Xiao Zhang immediately targeted Wu Di.
However, another question arises, if Luo Kecheng is not an undercover agent for the prince, then why does he want to stay? Could it be that he really wants to confess his crimes to the leader?
Xiao Zhang frowned with a little headache, he couldn't care so much, it was better to take Wu Di down first!
So, he jumped up, came behind the three of them like lightning, grabbed Wu Di's back collar, shook it hard, and threw Wu Di out of ten zhang away, and then roared: "Come on, protect the leader, take down this prince undercover!"
In an instant, two hundred guards who had been lying in ambush not far away poured out like lightning, and quickly divided into two groups, one hundred to protect the leader, and the other hundred to surround Wu Di.
Wu Di was surprised and inexplicable, and asked in surprise and anger, "Zhou Zhang, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Zhang sneered: "You are the prince's undercover agent, I naturally want to take you down!"
Wu Di suddenly showed an innocent face: "You don't want to spew blood, how can I be the prince's undercover agent?"
Xiao Zhang said: "Because you are pretending to be drunk and acting, you want to take the opportunity to capture the leader, and the leader is an artifact parasite." ”
"Pretending to be drunk?" Wu Di was stunned, "Where am I pretending to be drunk?"
Xiao Zhang stared at Wu Di and said, "Just now I was drunk and couldn't speak clearly, but at this moment, I am so clear and so alert, do you dare to say that you are not pretending to be drunk?"
Wu Di immediately roared angrily: "I was thrown up by you and slammed to the ground, of course I will come to my senses." ”
Xiao Zhang laughed and said: "The wine used in the banquet is the fifty-year-old wine of the Zongbu tribe, the wine is strong and full of stamina, once drunk, it is impossible to wake up instantly." ”
Wu Di's expression was suddenly a little flustered, and said: "My old Wu has a lot of wine, although this wine is strong, it is like drinking water to me, but I can't bear to sweep away the leader's interest, so I pretend to be drunk." ”
Xiao Zhang said: "To tell you the truth, I have been drugged in wine, and even people who drink a lot of alcohol will get drunk." ”
Wu Di was speechless for a long time, and then he stiffened up and said, "I...... I also took some hangover pills beforehand, and I don't get drunk no matter what I drink. ”
Xiao Zhang laughed again: "This is a bit contradictory, the general just said that he couldn't bear to sweep the leader's excitement and pretend to be drunk, but now he said that he took antidote medicine, hehe, you don't want to get drunk but you want to pretend to be drunk, then there must be an insidious purpose!"
Wu Di was stunned by Xiao Zhang's words, but he stiffened his neck and said, "You have no evidence to prove that I am the prince's undercover agent!"
Xiao Zhang smiled: "To tell you the truth, I have sent someone to follow you for a long time, and I already know everything you say and do.
The guards immediately rushed up, Wu Di snorted angrily, and immediately took off and fled into the distance. The guards just pretended to chase for a while and retreated, seemingly not wanting to catch Wu Di.
Xiao Zhang smiled with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at Luo Kecheng, only to see that he was already drunk and lying on the bench and falling asleep.
With his perception, Xiao Zhang could tell that Luo Kecheng was really drunk, and the confession he had just made to the leader should also be from the bottom of his heart.
After the leader sent someone to send Luo Kecheng away, he came to Xiao Zhang's side and asked with a somewhat flustered expression: "How do you know that this leader is a parasite of the artifact?"
Xiao Zhang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Doesn't the leader doubt the judgment ability of me, a secret envoy of the imperial court?"
The leader immediately attached himself and said respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare." Truth be told, this leader is a parasite of the artifact, but you don't have to publicize it, do you?"
Xiao Zhang said coldly: "I just want to publicize it, and if I want to say that the artifact will be born soon, I want to make the prince restless, and he can't help but lead the army to attack." ”
The leader suddenly realized, and then asked, "Master Secret Envoy, how did you determine that Wu Di is the prince's undercover agent?"
Xiao Zhang squinted at the leader and said with a slight smile: "The most unlikely person is the most likely person." The leader is such a smart person, he should understand this truth, right?"
The leader's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and then he asked, "Since it has been confirmed that Wu Di is the prince's undercover agent, why do you deliberately let him go?"
Xiao Zhang really admired the leader's acting skills of pretending to be stupid, obviously like a mirror in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to be loyal and stupid, he was really a cunning guy.
So, Xiao Zhang pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, the leader's eyes are really like torches, and he can see that I am deliberately going to let Wu Di go, as for my purpose, I'm afraid the leader has already guessed it, right?"
The leader showed a slight embarrassment, and then said with a dry smile: "According to this leader's guess, you must want to deliberately let Wu Di go and let him report to the prince, and then you can sit and wait for the army of the Luo tribe to come, right?"
"That's right!" Xiao Zhang patted the leader's shoulder appreciatively, "It's really worthy of my father-in-law, sure enough, follow me!"
Leader: "......"
