Chapter 2: Who is the traitor?
Finding traitors in the city is the first priority, and if you keep this guy, you have to be afraid to sleep.
According to Yu Shu, this guy is an official, combined with the scope of knowledge of the arrest operation, Gui Ye and Ji first ruled it out, Jing Jian should not hit his own feet, and he should be able to rule it out. Ji He has a knighthood but no official position, and the last time the wolf clan attacked the city, he also lost an arm for it, and his motive and identity do not match.
The rest are the three lieutenants, there is no doubt that they are the most suspicious, but they can't be said too deadly, and they may be passively leaked, such as drunken gaffes, coercion and temptation, etc.
The next day, it was nine o'clock in the morning.
On the second floor of the city tower, in the hall where Ji gave him condensation.
The wood is absolutely popular, and you don't have to worry about losing your job when you build a house.
The second floor of the castle tower is very small, with an area of more than 30 square meters, and the layout is also very simple, the whole hall has only a square low table, and some decorative curtains, in addition, there are several books on the wooden shelves next to it, on which are two translations of the decree, and he has recently been planning to learn the language.
There is a layer of enchantment shrouded in the outside of the room, but this enchantment is basically useless except for keeping Sakimi warm.
There is a square table in the room, Qingyi sits on the north side and faces south, Jing Jian kneels on the south side, Ji sits on the west side and faces east, and he and the turtle master sit side by side opposite Ji.
He called a few core high-level officials, such as Jing Jian, Ji and Qingyi, of course, the turtle master was also present, and after everyone arrived, he first told Yu Shu about it, and then said about the traitor, "There is a wolf clan in Blackwater City!"
"That's what the horse wizard said?" asked the turtle master.
"Well, Yu Shu is indeed not wrong," Meng Yun nodded and continued, "Yesterday evening, the 20,000 wolf cavalry of Changlin County almost consumed us on the north bank of the Heishui River. β
Wizards are good at all kinds of spells, and they are undoubtedly more threatening than ordinary people, but the number of wizards is small after all, and in the face of crowd tactics, one is still consumed to death if he is not careful.
"Huh?" Kimi was startled.
"Fortunately, I have a spiritual guide," Meng Yun waved his hand to signal that there was no need to make a fuss.
"Who is the fine work?" asked Ji again.
"If I knew, would I still be looking for you to discuss?" Meng Yun said angrily.
"There's got to be a range," said Master Turtle.
After thinking for a moment, he said to a few people, "Let's start with the three lieutenants." β
"You call them over, I'll search the memories of a few people, won't they all be clear?"
"You want to use this spell on your own people?" Meng Yun frowned when he heard this.
The turtle master's soul-searching evil technique is undoubtedly very credible, but the two people who were searched last time, one of them went crazy later, among the three lieutenants, even if one is a traitor, and there are two innocents, the traitor will be stupid if he is stupid, but if his own people are also stupid, it will not be over.
"Time is urgent, what do you say?" asked the turtle master.
"I definitely can't think crookedly, but the main thing is that I think this person can be used," he thought for a moment before saying, "provided that you don't alarm the other party and secretly investigate." β
"Oh, Brother Yun, are you trying to use this person to convey false information to the barbarians?" Jing Jian reacted quickly.
"Yo He's reaction is quite fast, it's a pity that you don't become a monarch," Meng Yun couldn't help but quip.
"Ahem," Jing Jian glanced at the opposite seat.
Qingyi never said a word, she is a latecomer, she doesn't know much, and she knows that it is inconvenient to say more.
"How do you want to check?" asked Master Turtle.
Meng Yun groaned a little and said, "Find someone to ask, but consider giving a step, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry." β
None of you here were fools, and when you heard him say this, you knew that he had a plan in mind, about the traitor, so she said no more.
"What's next?" Ji took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Within seven days, let's gather the army first," Meng Yun said, looking up.
Fighting still depends on soldiers, just like Er and Qing Yi are strong, but after all, a person's aura and divine sense have a limit, and tens of thousands of people have to be consumed to death, not to mention that there are barbarian wizards next to him, who will not sit idly by and watch their own soldiers being slaughtered, so they have to follow the rules of this world, knife tip to knife tip, wheat mang to wheat mang.
"Just these three melons and two dates?" said the turtle master disdainfully.
"Hey, how do you talk?" Meng Yun tilted his head and rolled his eyes.
"Originally, I thought you were sending people to die," the turtle muttered.
"It's just that these recruits really don't think about it, so I plan to recruit slaves to build the mausoleum," he had discussed with Jing Jian about this, and the turtle master was also beside him at the time, but then he was delayed by the Wuqu incident for a few days, and now he must hurry up.
"The matter of forging the edict ......" Jing Jian wanted to say and stopped.
"When the time comes, I'll take it all in, right?" Meng Yun glared at Jing Jian and said first.
"I didn't mean that," Jingmi smiled and touched the tip of his nose.
"That's not what you mean, haha, that's just over to you," Meng Yun laughed.
β......β
Just as a few people were talking, Ji He hurriedly went upstairs to report, "Report to the general, the three deputy generals have arrived in the hall!"
"Let's wait and see," Meng Yun got up and said to a few people, turned around and waved his hand at Ji He, and the two of them went downstairs one after the other......
When the three lieutenants heard him coming downstairs, they all got up and saluted him with fists, "Generalβ"
Meng Yun waved his hand at a few people to signal them to sit down, and at the same time, he also sat down opposite a few people, "Time is precious, I won't hide it from you, someone in the city leaked my whereabouts to the barbarians, causing me to be intercepted and killed when I returned to the city. β
"This ......" The three men looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Meng Yun noticed the expressions of several people, and then continued, "I called you here, not to suspect that you are spies, I must trust my subordinates unconditionally, just as you trust me unconditionally, but I suspect that someone inadvertently leaked it to others, such as drunken gaffes, husband and wife night talks, etc., you all have a good memory." β
"General Bao, his subordinates have neither drunk nor married a wife," Vice General Zhao Han said with a red face, this guy is a big man, with an unusually burly figure, and the whole person is a fight with Xiong Meng.
"Okay, I'll find you a daughter-in-law later," Meng Yun and the other two lieutenant generals laughed, Zhao Han and Yue Xing were personally raised by him, Zhao Han has no wife and family, and has been living in the north camp of the city in the past, among these three people, Zhao Han should be the smallest, at least he thinks so in his heart.
"Hehe, thank you, General," Zhao Hanhan smiled and touched the back of his head.
Just after a few people laughed, he returned to the topic, and he looked at Vice General and Yue Xing again, "What's the situation with the two of you?"
"Wizard Gu once asked his subordinates about the whereabouts of Wizard Ji," Vice Admiral Ji hesitated
"Lord County Shou has also asked me about the general a few times, but his subordinates replied that it was a retreat cultivation, and he himself seemed to be a little unconvinced, but he didn't ask again," Yue Xing saw that Vice Admiral Jian spoke first, and his face couldn't help but hurry up.
"County guard?" Meng Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You have a good relationship with him, you don't drink together, don't you?"
"Lord County Guard and his subordinates are jointly responsible for weapon casting, so ......" Vice Admiral Yue Xing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
Meng Yun didn't continue to listen, and turned to Vice Admiral Yu and said, "What about this Gu wizard?"
"He is a wizard, and his subordinates thought that Lord Ji was not there, and he should know the truth, so he revealed some news to him, but his subordinates only said that Lord Ji and you were going to do an important matter, but they didn't mention a word about the specific whereabouts," Vice Admiral's face did not change.
Among the three lieutenant generals, Yue Xing seemed the most flustered, Zhao Han was the most calm, and Vice Admiral Xuan was in awe of him, which may be related to his last beating, and from the reaction of only a few people, he should focus on investigating Yue Xing and the county guard.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Okay, that's it, you guys go back first," Meng Yun yawned and got up, Ji He pulled back his chair, "But remember not to make a noise, I'm going to secretly investigate the county guard and the wizard." β
"Yes" "Yes" "Yes"
......
The second floor of the castle tower.
There was a basin of water on the table, and the strange sight of the water was indistinguishable from the first floor, with an oval conference table, a burning brazier and candles, a map of the walls, etc., but the hall was empty at the moment.
"How is it? what did you find?" Meng Yun walked up to the second floor.
At this moment, Ji waved his hand and withdrew the mirror spell, and the picture of the basin disappeared immediately, restoring the appearance of a basin of clear water.
"This Yue Xing is very suspicious," Ji Xian said.
"Your Highness the Holy Maiden?" Meng Yun turned his head and looked at Qing Yi with a smile after sitting cross-legged.
What a beautiful person, it's a pity that he can only wear a veil all day long and doesn't smile, but then again, it seems that the more powerful the wizard, the less smiling he is, and Ji is also this kind of character, including the previous wizards.
"You can't just judge it from the surface," Qingyi shook her head slightly.
Seeing this, Meng Yun turned to the others again, "Master Turtle?"
"Yuexing," Jingjian said two words.
"Do you also think there is a problem with this Yuexing?" did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Indeed," Meng Yun nodded and admitted, judging from the performance of several people, Yue Xing's psychological reaction was the greatest, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"I think this lieutenant general is the most suspicious," said the turtle master as he knocked on the table.
"Huh?"
Everyone looked puzzled, and they all turned their heads to look at the turtle master.
Vice Admiral is the most modest, whether it is pretending to be bluffing, or really cowardly and nervous, neither end can take his turn, no one knows what the turtle master thinks.
"I vaguely feel that there are aura fluctuations in him," the turtle master said.
Meng Yun frowned when he heard this, "Are you sure?"
The three lieutenant generals are all ordinary people, at most they are stronger than ordinary people, but they have absolutely no experience in qi training, he has known about this in advance, he's not right, he doesn't seem to be able to say that, he really doesn't know much about the deputy general, this person is an old general, he saw that the other party didn't make too many mistakes, so he retained his official position and did not remove.
If what the turtle master said is true, Vice Admiral Xuan definitely has a problem, otherwise he will not deliberately hide his aura cultivation, if you think about it further, this Vice Admiral is not good at it is fake, but what kind of situation it is, he will definitely not be able to say it at present.
"If you're sure it's called a vague feeling?" said the turtle master, rolling his eyes.
Meng Yun frowned and turned to Qingyi and Ji, "Did you sense it?"
"No," Ji denied.
Qingyi shook her head gently.
"Where is Vice Admiral's house? Is there anyone at home?" Meng Yun pondered for a moment and rushed to Jing Jian, Vice General Wei had been under Jing Jian's command, and the two of them were more familiar with each other.
"On the second street north of the city, there is a courtyard with a courtyard wall at the end of the street, and as far as I know, he seems to have a wife at home," Jing said to him.
Meng Yun looked around at everyone and said, "I want to go to his house, who wants to come with me?"
"I'll go with you," Kami said.
"What about Yuexing?" Ji still had some concerns.
"Believe in Master Turtle, wait until I finish checking this vice-general," Meng Yun said and beckoned to Jingjian, and the two of them got up together and prepared to go downstairs......
