"Lord Wang, it's not good, then whoever has fallen into the quicksand."

While the team was still on their way, a sailor suddenly ran back and brought such bad news.

"How could he be trapped in quicksand?"

"Back to the prince, it's like this, originally the two of us had been chatting, but he suddenly said that he was in a hurry, and then left the team. Because there had been such a thing as a beast attack before, I was a little worried, so I followed, but I didn't expect that I had just followed out for a while, when I heard a cry for help, and when I hurried over, he had already fallen into the quicksand, and the sand was already buried to his waist. ”

"Then why didn't you save him and run back to do something?"

"That, lord, it's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I can't do anything, I don't know how to save him, the quicksand pit he fell into is too big, if I don't want to fall into the same trap, I can't pull his hand at all."

"Okay, I know, then what are we waiting for now, you can take us over quickly."

When the sailor brought everyone to the so-called quicksand pit, there was no one in sight, and in the face of such a situation, Zhao Weiji had no choice but to announce that the person was buried in the quicksand, and then simply mourned, and then went on the road.

But the actual situation is not like this at all, this is a play played by Zhao Weiji and his subordinates. The man who died in the quicksand pit was actually one of many spies.

He was killed by Zhao Weiji's men by unpreparedness, and then dragged to a long distance outside the team and buried in the sand. Eventually, the sailor who had killed him came back to play the play.

Except for the death of the person, everything else is a lie.

However, this lie is very convincing, because the people on Zhao Weiji's side have made full use of the unknown and dangerous nature of the desert.

Just like the so-called beast attack, quicksand is one of the dangers that can be encountered in the desert, and it is not impossible to die in the slightest mistake.

But although this lie has deceived other scholars, it has not deceived the remaining three spies, the beast attack has already made them have huge suspicions, not to mention that there is such a coincidence, go out to relieve yourself and fall into the quicksand, the key is that this situation is only seen by you Tang people.

This gave them good reason to suspect that they themselves might have exposed the identity of the spy, but they didn't figure out how they did it.

However, there was not much time for them to think about these things at this time, and they had to seek the help of the local imperial government as soon as they reached the next town, or it would not be long before they would have their turn to die.

Fortunately, the speed of the journey was much faster than before, so the team reached a small town that night.

Finally, the scholars were very happy that they didn't have to eat and sleep in the open, but after entering the hotel and allocating rooms, they got a warning from Zhao Weiji's side, that is, don't go out casually at night, this town is not very safe.

Although this sentence is a hint planted by Zhao Weiji in order to continue to dispose of the spy, this sentence is also true.

Today's Arab Empire is not what it used to be, except for Baghdad, Damascus and other big cities, the security in the small towns is very bad, and robber attacks occur from time to time, so scholars do not think that Zhao Weiji's words are inappropriate, so they have chosen to stay in their rooms after dinner.

However, there are exceptions, and the exceptions are those spies, and Zhao Weiji's words have a completely different meaning in their ears.

They thought that Zhao Weiji's words were meant for them, as long as they dared to go out and report, then they would definitely encounter some "accidents".

This made it a bit difficult for these people, although they were trained spies, but they were not strong enough to be a hundred.

And Zhao Weiji's soldiers obviously have such strength, because after more than 20 of them entered the battlefield, they actually defeated all the Kalmat soldiers.

Not only that, but they were able to kill four people on their side without them knowing, which made these trained spies a little worried.

But if you don't do anything well, it is equivalent to sitting still, if you don't do anything well, Zhao Weiji's side will let them go.

So they decided to send one person to contact the government, and the other two stayed behind to try to create the illusion that all three were there.

Not long after the person they sent out left, the people from Zhao Weiji's side came to check the room. It's for everyone's safety and to see if everyone is there.

When the two people left behind saw that someone had come to check the room, they immediately shouted that they were lucky, if they hadn't decided to send out only one person, the round that came immediately would have buried all three of them.

"Where's the one in the same room with you?" The person who was doing the rounds asked.

"He, he went to the thatched house, just now he said that his stomach was a little uncomfortable and rushed to the thatched house."

"Oh. Did he really go to the hut and not sneak out? The roundsman asked in a deliberately skeptical tone.

Hearing the rounds' question, the two immediately shook their heads like rattles and denied: "No, no, he just went to the thatched house, and it is estimated that he will come back in a while." ”

"That's good, the security outside is poor, don't run around at night." After saying that, the person who was doing the rounds turned around and left.

And the two of them took a complete breath when they saw the people who were doing the ward rounds leave.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, however, their companion was dead at the moment, and shortly after the man left the hotel, he was secretly shot and killed by a sailor who was lying in ambush halfway through.

Zhizhi sent someone to check the room because Zhao Weiji wanted to confirm how many spies had left the hotel, because there was only one blocked on the road, and it would be bad if there were any fish that slipped through the net.

After confirming that only one person had left the hotel to report the news, Zhao Weiji sent someone to continue to keep an eye on the room, and then the others began to plan how to kill the last remaining two together, after all, the distance was only two days away from Khomeini Port.

Just when Zhao Weiji's side was planning how to kill the remaining two, the spy was still stupidly waiting for the person who reported the news to come back.

They waited left and right, but the man who had gone out still had not returned, which made a sense of unease begin to rise in the hearts of the two people who were waiting.

"Could he have been killed?"

"No, he didn't go through the gate when he went out, how could he be killed."

"If he hadn't been killed, why hadn't he come back by now, this town is not big, and it won't take too much time to get back from here to the government agency, right?"

"Maybe it will take some time to confirm his identity, or maybe he's been delayed by other things. You think, when he went out, he quietly climbed out of the window, and we double-checked before he went out, and no one was watching, so no one should know that he went out. ”

This spy was right, Zhao Weiji's people really didn't know when that person left the hotel and how he left. However, Zhao Weiji's side didn't care about this.

From the very beginning, they had already believed that the spies would make a move when they arrived in the town, so they sent people to ambush them directly on the road from the hotel to the government office.

As the spy said, this town is not big, and since the town is not big, it means that there is only one shortest road from the hotel to the government, and as long as there is an ambush on that road, once the other party makes a move, it will definitely be able to block people on that road.

"Well, since they don't know when he left, then we can only assume that he was delayed because of some trivial matters."

In fact, it was not that these two spies comforted themselves, but they didn't dare to think about what would happen if that person was also killed, because if that person was also killed, not only would all hope be dashed, but their own death would not be far away.

The next morning, though, the bloody truth shattered their unrealistic dreams.

Early the next morning, when everyone woke up and left their rooms to gather in the hotel, they heard Zhao Weiji announce another "sad" news, that is, the spy who was killed by them was unfortunately killed because he kept advising him to go to the hotel immediately after going to the thatched house, and the specific cause of death is unknown.

Every day since the battle, members have been killed, much to the sadness of the true scholars in the entire team.

And the only two remaining spies were in a cold sweat on their backs, because the truth had turned out to be the last thing they dared to think. Just when they were already in despair, suddenly Zhao Weiji gave them a glimmer of hope.

Just after Zhao Weiji announced the death of that person, Zhao Weiji announced one more thing, that is, because there were too many senseless sacrifices along the way, if someone proposed to leave the team now, he would not stop it.

This gave the two spies a chance to leave the team and report in the open.

The two of them immediately responded to this suggestion and submitted an application to leave the team, but there were not many other scholars who also applied to leave the team, only one or two, and the others remained in the team with their enthusiasm for knowledge.

However, Zhao Weiji also kept his promise, and he did not stop those who left the team.

In this way, the large army and the departed people parted ways in the town.

When they parted, the spies pretended to go to the edge of town with two other departing scholars to see off the group.

However, when it was time to say goodbye, the two spies did not realize that there were two less Tang people in the team.
