Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mole is Qi Hongzhuang
Wei Xuan's words made everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this was really incredible, it was difficult for people to accept, but when everyone thought about Wei Xuan's words carefully, they felt that his analysis was so reasonable.
Only a traitor will know where that path is; Only the mole will know the situation of the reincarnation squad; Only the traitor will know the overall situation of the hot spring pass; Only a mole can work out such a targeted dead end.
Without the mole, the trail could not have fallen so quickly; Without the mole, the Persians would not have spent so much effort to block the aisle of the east gate; Without the moles, it is even more unlikely that the Persians would have deliberately set a deadly trap on the edge of the southern wasteland.
"But if there really is a mole, then who will this mole be?" Wu Yun couldn't help but ask the question in everyone's mind.
Wei Xuan shook his head: "I don't know, and I'm not even sure if there is a mole or not." ”
Wang Dahai couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't you just say that there was a traitor?" ”
Wei Xuan spread his hands: "Because I just think that if there is no traitor, these actions of the Persians cannot be explained at all, and only if there are traitors who give them information, these actions of the Persians seem more reasonable." ”
Wang Dahai: "Then why can't you be sure now?" ”
Wei Xuan smiled bitterly and pointed to the sky: "Because this is really unreasonable, why would he betray us and kill us, and for him, there are no reward points to take!" And if the hot spring pass is suddenly lost at this time, everyone in the reincarnation team will be wiped out by the main god! Could it be that this traitor is impatient and plans to commit suicide? ”
Everyone fell silent for a moment, yes! Betraying the reincarnation team is equivalent to killing yourself, why would this traitor do this, it really doesn't make sense.
Wu Yun analyzed in a slightly hesitant tone: "Could it be that the three newcomers who have been missing have been arrested by the Persians and tortured to confess?" ”
Wang Dahai couldn't help but be inexplicable: "Which three newcomers?" ”
Wu Yun stretched out a palm to face Wang Dahai: "This time the adventure of the reincarnation world is the difficulty of fifteen people, and the poker is resurrected by John, not counted, then you see, the five fingers on this palm of mine have a total of fourteen knuckles, except for the chef who died at the beginning, it just corresponds to the remaining fourteen of us, except for our four veterans, the remaining newcomers should be a total of ten." ”
Wang Dahai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but read out the names of all the newcomers: "Jun Ningxiang, Wei Xuan and Duhe'an have been following us, Wu Zimin, Qi Hongzhuang, Pan Zhiwen and Ji Peirong are a group, there are only seven people in total, yes, there are three more people who have not appeared, where have they gone?" ”
Liu Ping shook his head: "They should all be dead." ”
Wu Yun was very strange: "How do you know." ”
"Wu Zimin said it."
"What did the Wu people say? What did he say? ”
He said that when they first fled, there were seven of them, which already shows that the other three newcomers had been with them all along. It's just that on the way to escape, one of them stumbled and fell off the cliff, while the other two, when they went to the rear to recruit believers, broke away from his team and went on their own adventures because they had their own ideas. ”
Wang Dahai scratched his head: "This doesn't seem to mean anything, since those two have left the team, even the Wu Zimin themselves should not be sure if they are dead, how can you be so sure that they must be dead?" ”
Liu Ping smiled: "Because their plan is to go to Spartan City to assassinate the five great priests." ”
"The Five Great Priests? Who are they? "Wang Dahai is very strange, he seems to have never heard of these people?
Liu Ping explained: "The five great gods are the sacrifices of the ancient gods. According to the tradition of the Spartans, if they wanted to send troops to fight, the king had to first find the five major priests, let them communicate with the gods, and ask for the advice of the gods, and only after obtaining the approval of the gods and blessings to the Spartans, the army was legal. ”
Wang Dahai suddenly realized: "I understand, it turns out that you are talking about them." I remember that the five of them appeared in the movie, living on a high mountain, all with pus on their faces, as if their whole bodies had been doused with sulfuric acid, ugly to death, and greedy for money and lustful, in this battle, they also took bribes from the Persians, and were traitors among the Spartans. ”
Liu Ping nodded: "Yes, it's those five priests." The two newcomers were planning to assassinate them. ”
Wu Yun interjected: "Why did they go to assassinate these five great priests." ”
Liu Ping smiled: "Because the reason why the Spartans only came with three hundred warriors this time is because these five great priests accepted bribes from the Persians and made obstructions. The two newcomers believed that the killing of these five priests would reverse the course of history and prompt the Spartans to send troops. ”
Wang Dahai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ambitious!" That's a good idea! If they really succeed, it is really hard to say what the final outcome of this war will be. ”
Liu Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The problem is that they are just two newcomers, and they can't be the opponents of the five major gods at all." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, are the five major priests still very powerful?
Liu Ping pointed to the Spartans patrolling the city wall: "The Spartans have an extremely cruel tradition, and they will undergo all kinds of training since childhood, so no Spartan man will be weak. Moreover, the Spartans also stipulated that any male of the Spartans, once they reached the age of sixteen, must enter the army for military training. No matter how despicable and greedy the five priests were, they were all true Spartans, who had been raised with special training since childhood, and none of them would be powerless scholars. The idea of those two newcomers is good, but unfortunately, they have underestimated the strength of the enemy too much, and they will definitely die if they go. ”
Wang Dahai was extremely surprised: "Really fake?!" Those five monsters are still Lian Jiazi? ”
Liu Ping shrugged his shoulders: "These things were told to me by Leonidas himself, and he even admitted that if he is one-on-one, even he is not the opponent of any priest, do you think it is possible for him to lie to me?" ”
Wang Dahai suddenly jumped up: "Impossible! How could they be better than the king of Sparta! ”
Liu Ping sighed: "This is a magical world, nothing is impossible. ”
Wang Dahai still didn't give up: "But didn't the movie say that they would be so powerful?" ”
"Didn't the movie say they weren't good?"
"Huh?!" Wang Dahai was dumbfounded.
Wu Yun didn't care if the five major priests were powerful, but only cared about who was the traitor: "Since those two newcomers are dead, then they are definitely not traitors, so who will be the traitors?" ”
Wei Xuan lifted his glasses: "Although there is no evidence, and I don't know what his motive is for doing this, but as long as there is really a mole in our reincarnation team, it must be one of the four of them." ”
Wu Yun was very strange: "Why are you so sure that the traitor must be one of the four of them?" ”
Wei Xuan pointed around: "Even if the two newcomers who went to assassinate the Spartan priests don't die, they can't be traitors, because he doesn't know anything about the situation here, they just want to be traitors, and the Persians won't want it." The only one who can be a traitor is one of the four of them who is familiar with the situation here and has little affection for us. ”
Liu Ping nodded: "You are right, the traitor is indeed one of the four of them, and I can be sure that the traitor must be Qi Hongzhuang!" ”
As soon as Liu Ping said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, even Wei Xuan looked at him in surprise, not understanding how he was so sure.
"Pan Zhiwen once told me that as soon as they arrived at the rear trail, they immediately arranged defenses, and inadvertently mentioned that Qi Hongzhuang had taken people to patrol the trail. When I listened to it at the time, I didn't think there was any problem, but now that I think about it, who else has the opportunity to run to the Persians to tell the Persians besides this Qi Hongzhuang who went to patrol the trail? ”
"Did Pan Zhiwen say that when did Qi Hongzhuang, who went on patrol, come back?" Wei Xuan hurriedly asked, he really didn't know about this.
"No, the situation was urgent, and as soon as Pan Zhiwen said a few words, you came, not only interrupted my questioning, but also asked me to go to John to come back for a meeting. Since then, I've been so busy arranging the breakout that I haven't had time to ask him about it. ”
Wei Xuan suddenly felt guilty: "Alas, it's all my fault, if only you asked it clear at that time." ”
Liu Ping didn't care about this: "You don't have to blame yourself, the situation was so urgent at that time, and it was actually not wrong for you to deal with it like this." After all, at that time, no one thought that someone in the team would become a traitor for no reason. ”
Wang Dahai gritted his teeth and shouted on the side: "If it is really confirmed, it was Qi Hongzhuang who betrayed us and killed Jun Ningxiang, I swear, I will definitely break him into pieces!" ”
John was very calm at the moment: "If it is really Qi Hongzhuang who is a traitor, then all our situation is no longer a secret, and the roads we knew before must not be able to continue to pass at this moment, at this time, how can we escape from here?" ”
Everyone fell silent and began to think hard about what to do.
Liu Ping bit his lip and looked around, thinking and thinking, but all of a sudden, how could it be so easy to come up with a safe way.
Half an hour later, before the reincarnation team could figure out what to do, the Persians outside the rear camp began to move.
Numerous Persian archers and Persian cavalry emerged from the jungle and then lined up in the open space outside the camp to form a military phalanx.
All the personnel of the reincarnation team had already run to the city wall at the back of the canyon at this moment, and seeing that the Persians did not immediately start attacking, Wu Yun couldn't help but be very strange: "What are they doing?" What are you waiting for. ”
Wei Xuan smiled slightly and helped his glasses: "The Persians are probably planning to surrender us." ”
"Recruit us?!"
Liu Ping also nodded at this moment: "It should be like this, in the movie, didn't the king of Persia kill everyone immediately at the last moment, but came to the hot springs in an attempt to recruit the Spartans." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Ping's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! If we had taken the opportunity to slaughter Xerxes at that time, wouldn't the horror world have ended immediately?! Aren't we all safe? ”
"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned.
Wang Dahai was the first to react: "That's right! It's a fart! With you and me, as long as Xerxes dares to come and surrender, the probability of killing him is still very high! ”
Wu Yun frowned: "The problem is that Qi Hongzhuang has also seen the movie, won't he warn Xerxes?" ”
Wang Dahai smiled: "What about the warning, at most he will be more careful, and there will be more guards around him." Could he still be too timid to persuade him to surrender? He's the king of Persia, and he doesn't have the guts at all, and he's a fart! ”
Liu Ping nodded: "Hehe, the Persians, who claim to be millions of troops, have been blocked by only three hundred Spartans for so many days, if you simply kill all the Spartans, you can't make up for the damage to Xerxes's reputation in this battle." Xerxes had to persuade Leonidas to surrender whether he wanted it or not, and only if the Spartans finally surrendered could he restore his lost reputation, no matter how unlikely it was. ”
