In the middle of summer, it was blazing, and the earth was like a burnt brick cellar, sneering at the heat wave.

On a sentry post halfway up the mountain in the Strange Stone Forest, the sentry was so hot that his head drooped, and he was powerless to snuggle up to the building.

Under the sentry tower, there were guards of the two clans, about hundreds, of course, most of them were so hot that they hid in the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade, chatting, and their eyes glanced not far away from time to time.

The warriors of the Xuanyuan clan are not the most elite army, even if the scorching sun is in the sky, they still have their armor and spear in their hands, and they are motionless like statues.

In contrast, the soldiers of the barbarian tribe are more like a plate of loose sand.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Bu seemed to notice something, and he stared sideways at the direction of the city.

A troop of cavalry, about a hundred horsemen, was led by Jeruqi.

As soon as it seemed that the person was a general, the soldiers around him quickly returned to their positions.

Jerezi didn't bother with the undisciplined soldiers, his eyes were more on the people who intercepted him.

"Bold! Captain Yelu, you dare to intercept it, I think you are impatient?"

Xuanyuan Bu has a strong personality and will not be flexible, the advantage is that he is a good player, although he is a villager, he is also a good hand on the battlefield, for this reason, Xuanyuan Zhuo specially mentioned him as the team leader.

As the team leader, he naturally has his due responsibility, don't say it is Yeluqi, even if Zhang Tao comes, he has to act according to the system. Immediately, ignoring the barbarian cavalry shouting on the side, he said to Yeluqi without humility or arrogance: "Please show the pass." ”

The pass order is designed and issued by Ye Gucheng to the only credible thing for all clans to go down the mountain, but anyone who goes down the mountain must be reported, and then approved by the patriarch or Ye Gucheng himself, the purpose of this move is to prevent anyone in the clan from collaborating with the enemy.

Yeluqi went all the way down and passed two checkpoints in a row, but no one dared to intercept his mount, but he was deflated by a soldier of the Xuanyuan clan. If it weren't for the fear of many things, I would have been mad on the spot! Tie Qing took out something from his arms with a blue face, and scolded angrily: "Open your dog's eyes wide to see clearly." ”

Xuanyuan Bu was not angry, carefully checked the wooden card in the other party's hand, confirmed that it was Ye Gucheng who issued it, quickly stepped aside, and said in a deep voice: "Let go." ”

The Xuanyuan warriors with spears crossed on both sides quickly gathered their spears and retreated to their original positions to make way for a passage.

Yeluqi glared at the expressionless Xuanyuan Bu viciously, and led the hundred horsemen away.

It's a pity that he didn't notice the slight sneer on the corner of the other party's mouth when he passed by.

Strange Stone Forest, Conference Tent.

When Yelu Bao led the main leaders of the clan into the tent, he was stunned.

There are many more faces in the account today, and even Zhang Zhengyang, who has always stayed at home, was present.

For some reason, Jerush suddenly felt uneasy.

According to the usual practice, all ethnic groups have reported on the situation of their responsibilities, which is nothing more than the progress of construction, the progress of grain planting and other trivial matters.

Ye Gucheng listened patiently, and slowly entered today's theme, which is also the most important link. I saw him take out something from his bosom and say casually, "Now, please give a testimony to all of you here." ”

This is a very ordinary white cloth, in the eyes of everyone, there is no abnormality, but in the eyes of Yelu, his expression has changed greatly.

"Some time ago, an archer of the Xuanyuan clan unintentionally shot a flying pigeon when hunting, and the flying pigeon itself is not strange, but the strange thing is that this pigeon is tied with a curled muslin under its feet. Ye Gucheng said to himself, as if he didn't see Yelu's ugly expression.

Yelu regretted it! Regretted acting too hastily, he shouldn't have chosen to release carrier pigeons during the day in the first place, and now that the handle is in the hands of the enemy, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious! However, he still has no idea, if he is really discovered, why has it been delayed until now, could it be that Ye Gucheng has discovered something and deliberately used tricks to tempt? Thinking of this, his heart is a little relieved.

"Elder Yelu, can you guess what is written in the strip of cloth?" Ye Gucheng finally looked at the old man in front of him, but his eyes were full of coldness.

The God of War said with a smile, how did the old man know the content of the letter. Jerusu smiled reluctantly.

Ye Gucheng smiled when he heard this, slowly handed down the strip of cloth, and said indifferently: "Since this is the case, it is better to let everyone take a look at it together." ”

Zhang Tao took the strip of cloth and looked at the contents, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Seeing this, everyone was curious, and they came to watch, of course, including Yelu Bao and other barbarian people, for a while, the audience was silent.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhengyang looked like a twilight scene from beginning to end, as if he had no interest in the topic, and he never took over checking the content of the cloth. In this regard, Xuanyuan Zhuo couldn't help but look at him twice.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Yueli, gritting her teeth angrily, and suddenly stood up and scolded angrily: "Yelu Bao, in vain, our clan trusts you barbarians, and you actually want to collude with the Montenegrin clan to wipe us out, you... ”

"Shut up. Zhang Tao quickly interrupted Zhang Yueli's words, and then looked at Ye Gucheng and explained: "Your Majesty the God of War, I don't think there is any misunderstanding? The elder of the Yelu clan is very close to our clan, and it is impossible to make such a big rebellious act. ”

"Head Zhang, I don't want to believe it either!That's why I specially invited everyone to come and testify, so that the old Yelu clan can clarify the truth! After all, the name of the payment is the name of the old Yelu clan!" Although Ye Gucheng was smiling, his eyes became more and more cold.

Yelu Bao faced everyone's sideways eyes, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, but Zhang Tao's attitude also gave him a hint of confidence, thought about it, and defended: "Your Excellency the God of War, since our barbarian tribe has been in alliance with the nobles, we have been thinking about coexistence wholeheartedly, and we have never thought about anything else! Let's ask, our tribe and the Montenegrin tribe have always only hated and never been friendly, carrier pigeons to deliver news, must first go through a long period of training or exchange of carrier pigeons, otherwise how can carrier pigeons know the way?"

These words were reasonable, and everyone was suddenly a little relieved, but it was Xuanyuan Excellence who seemed to be meaningful.

"If I remember correctly, there is a carrier pigeon training ground at the foot of the mountain, and the main person responsible for training the carrier pigeons happens to be the barbarian people, if you secretly catch a carrier pigeon from the foot of the mountain, convey the news to the cronies at the foot of the mountain, and then send it to the Black Mountain tribe by the cronies, it is not impossible! After all, there are many people, and no one will notice that there is suddenly one person missing!"

Ye Gucheng's words successfully aroused everyone's suspicion of Yelu Bao.

Yelubao's face changed suddenly, and he forced a smile: "The God of War is laughing! How is this possible! I think someone should have deliberately designed to frame our clan for the purpose of destroying the alliance between us. Otherwise, why bother to do this and just send someone there?"

"The so-called secrecy is to ensure that nothing goes wrong and cannot be leaked! It is not feasible to send troops from the mountain to the Montenegrin clan, because anyone who goes down the mountain must first report and register, and everything that comes and goes is in the file, and if he has not returned for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain!"

In the face of Ye Gucheng's aggressive attitude, Yelu Bao said in a cold sweat: "These are just speculations on the God of War, if we want to convict our clan based on just a trumped-up letter, Yelu Bao is the first to disagree." ”

"The old Yelu clan is reasonable!" Ye Gucheng smiled dumbly, and immediately, his tone became cold, and he said word by word: "Therefore, I deliberately sent someone to monitor and guard the passage to the Black Mountain Clan, and as a result, I caught a barbarian messenger on a rainy night. ”

"What?" Jereus stood up suddenly, igniting the atmosphere to a boiling point.

"Yelu Bao, you really dare to rebel!"

"You barbarians are really traitors who eat inside and out. ”

"Your Majesty, kill them. ”

The scene seemed to get out of control in an instant, and the generals of all ethnic groups scolded angrily, while the barbarian side dared not speak out, and even worse, their faces were timid.

"Your Majesty the God of War, someone must have framed me. Yelubao was really anxious at this time, and hurriedly yelled at the generals on the side: "Quickly go and check what is going on, see who in the clan dares to betray the clan, and quickly arrest him and confront him." ”

The leader was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the eyes of the clan elder, and hurriedly ran out of the tent.

The strange thing is that Ye Gucheng didn't stop it, just glanced at Xuanyuan Zhuozhuo, slowly leaned back, and watched the expressions of everyone present with cold eyes.

For this scene, Yelu was naturally happy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, pretending to wait for good news as if nothing happened.

Zhang Yueli's expression was abnormal from the moment Ye Gucheng spoke, the other party obviously knew about the rebellion of the barbarian clan for a long time, but he quietly and deliberately paralyzed everyone, and even the Zhang family was kept in the dark.

Moreover, she also figured out one thing.

Ye Gucheng was not only suspicious of the barbarian clan, but also suspected their Zhang family! Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask for weapons to be handed over when entering the account, and even asked her grandfather to come to the meeting for the first time, and the people guarding outside the tent at this moment were also soldiers of the Xuanyuan clan.

As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Yueli's heart became very uncomfortable, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng naturally understood the meaning in Zhang Yueli's eyes, and unconsciously shifted his gaze, as if he was afraid to face the question.

Quiet, calming, and after calming down, Jerush began to sense that something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something...

No!

Obviously, he had already received a reply from the Black Mountain Clan and sent Yeluqi to the designated place to connect, why could Ye Gucheng intercept this letter again?

Yelu seemed to have figured out something, especially when he noticed that Xuanyuan Wuji was not present, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Your Excellency the God of War, has the messenger of the barbarian tribe confessed? What evidence of collaboration with the enemy does he have?" A general of the Zhang family may not be able to stand this dead silence, and took the lead in opening the topic.

In fact, most people are very curious about this question and just don't ask it patiently.

Ye Gucheng smiled strangely and slowly verified Yelubao's thoughts. "Speaking of which, this messenger is indeed a man, loyal to the Lord, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers of the Xuanyuan clan to kill himself! As for the token of collaboration with the enemy, it is naturally the letter you have just read. ”

These words confused the generals again, and even Zhang Zhengyang, who was slightly drunk with his eyes closed, couldn't help but open his eyelids and glance at it.

Sure enough, good scheming!

Zhang Zhengyang sighed with emotion, and closed his eyes again.
