Chapter IX: Investigation

Wuyue stepped forward and patted Zhuge Chen on the shoulder, Zhuge Chen came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then continued: "The second master was designed this time because someone used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, first someone pretended to be the second master and lured me away. At the same time, someone dressed up as me again and led the second master into a trap that had been designed a long time ago. When I came back to my senses, I was too late, and I would definitely look into this matter. ”

Wuyue is also a woman with a delicate mind, and she understood when she heard this, and said, "Chen, you suspect that there is a traitor around the second master!" ”

Zhuge Chen nodded, and said with a determined look in his eyes: "Because apart from this answer, I can't think of a second answer when I empty my head." ”

Wuyue also knows the seriousness of the matter, if there is really a traitor next to his own people, it is equivalent to exposing his weakness in front of the enemy and letting him take care of it. It's not the first day she has met Zhuge Chen in Wuyue, her talent and strategy are among the best in Aoyu Country, and generally the things he believes are eight or nine and ten.

Wuyue said worriedly: "Since someone is staring at us in the dark, isn't it dangerous for the second master to be in this backyard?" ”

Zhuge Chen said firmly: "Although this traitor avoided many eyes and ears and successfully lured the second master out of this drunken country building, when the assassination failed, he must have known it as soon as possible, and it is estimated that he also knew about the second master's injury." When the second master was seriously injured and appeared in this drunken country building, but there was no enemy chasing the second master at this moment, don't you think it's strange? It can only be said that this traitor still seems to have a little conscience and did not tell the enemy about this stronghold. ”

Wuyue was relieved for a moment and continued: "Chen, then how are you going to check?" ”

Zhuge Chen said confidently: "Let's start with the assassination guards and intelligence guards who didn't send out a mission last night. Wuyue, you are so good to take care of the second master, if there is anything to do, send the secret guard directly to find Brother Yichuan, I will deal with things first. After speaking, without waiting for Wuyue to nod, she disappeared with the two black-clothed men standing at the door.

Wuyue looked at Zhuge Chen's disappearing back stupidly, every time they met, they came and went in a hurry, usually except for her to report to him the information of the drunken township building, Zhuge Chen would say a few words to her. At other times, I rarely talk to her about topics outside of work. If the second master hadn't been injured this time, he wouldn't have told her so much! He is such a talented and quick man, but he has ever known what she has thought about him for so many years.

At this moment, in the basement deep in the bamboo forest of Nangong Mansion, a man's angry voice sounded: "A group of rice buckets!" Then there was the sound of tables and chairs being smashed by internal forces, and the man in black kneeling in front of him didn't dare to come out.

This man was dressed in a silver robe, if it weren't for that angry face, he actually looked dignified and graceful. It's just that there was a middle-aged man standing next to him, who looked scheming, and I saw him step forward and say to the angry man: "Prince, don't worry, although you didn't kill him, you should let him be injured a lot, and it can be regarded as a bad breath for you." ”

When the man called the prince heard the middle-aged man's words, his expression immediately calmed down, but he still said with some incomprehension: "Uncle, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you look at these rice buckets, how can they be useless when they are used, I sent more than 30 killers to kill him alone, do you think I won't be angry!" I really don't know what the use of raising this group of rice buckets is. ”

The middle-aged man who is called his uncle is the elder brother of the current queen Feng Lingyu Fenglan - the left prime minister of Ao Yu Guo, and the prince is of course the queen's son Ao Tianyu.

Zuo Xiang continued: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I didn't expect that kid's skills to be so profound, and desperate resistance made us lose half of our people." There is also too much underestimation of Zhuge Chen's stinky boy's ability, I didn't expect their people to find out here so quickly, so that we have to withdraw first, otherwise it will be strange to let the injured kid run away, this time it is his fate, next time there will be no such good thing. ”

The prince smiled gloomily, and what Zuo Xiang said was exactly what he wanted. The prince suddenly remembered something, and said to Zuo Xiang: "Uncle, what are you going to do with the undercover agent you planted beside them." ”

Zuo Xiang smiled fiercely and replied: "I have already arranged for someone to kill the mouth, after all, when the undercover agent negotiated the conditions with us, he only said that he was responsible for bringing people over, and he didn't say anything else." No matter how much we threatened him, he was a stronghold, and I was afraid that he would jump off the wall in a hurry, so I retreated and agreed. Since the plan failed, with Zhuge Chen's intelligence, he would immediately guess that there was a traitor, I am afraid that the undercover agent will be found by them and do something unfavorable to us, and his sister, you will also go back and settle it, in case there are extraneous branches! ”

The prince smiled grimly: "That's natural, but what does my uncle plan to do next?" ”

Zuo Xiang said with a calculating eye: "Prince, don't be in a hurry, you can't startle the snake now, the minister has his own clever plan." ”

The prince nodded with satisfaction, immediately stood up and walked out of a passage, and drove back to the palace.

At this moment, he is in the stronghold of the intelligence department under the control of the second master.

Zhuge Chen's brows furrowed tightly, looking at the letter handed over by Qiu Feng, the head of the intelligence department, the content of the letter made him know that he was a step too late, which really made him feel the urge to beat people.

This letter was from Abulu, the right-hand man of the autumn wind. It is very clear that he betrayed the second master, his parents died early, and his sister always couldn't eat for his life, and later he was appreciated by the head of the autumn wind, and arranged for him to work in the intelligence department to give him a bite of food to eat, so that their two brothers and sisters could live a worry-free life, and he thanked the second master from the bottom of his heart.

But a month ago, his sister was taken by the current prince as a concubine because of her good looks, and he didn't dare to tell Brother Qiufeng after he found out. So he sneaked into the prince's mansion to save his sister, but he didn't expect to be arrested by the guards of the prince's mansion before he saw his sister.

When he thought that he would definitely not be able to escape this time, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared and said that if he helped him do something, he would let his sister and him go, and when he heard this middle-aged man say what he wanted him to do, he understood everything.

It turned out that the people in the Prince's Mansion had long known that he was the person next to the second master, and deliberately brought his sister into the Prince's Mansion to bring him over. When they found out, he himself didn't know.

Others threatened with his sister's life, asking him to be an undercover agent to lure the second master to the bamboo forest, and he also wanted him to tell all the strongholds! He knew that although the prince and his gang were following him, they didn't seem to know the second master's stronghold! So I responded with the mentality of seeing death as home. The other party seemed to see his determination to burn the jade, and he didn't continue to ask, just said that as long as this one was done, he could also release his sister, so he agreed.

After that, he did it, but the next moment he was suddenly chased by the killer, he knew that he had made a deal with the devil, and he began to regret it, he shouldn't be fascinated for a while, but he was unwilling to die like this! With that unwilling faith, he finally got rid of those killers.

Later, he heard the news that his sister committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in the Prince's Mansion, and he wouldn't believe that her sister would think so! He knew that it must be the poison of the prince's gang. If he seeks justice for his sister, he will definitely come back to apologize to the second master with death!

According to Qiu Feng's knowledge, this letter was given to him by a child, and when he asked the child what the person who gave him the letter looked like, the child said that it was a beggar who gave her a few pieces of candy as his running fare, and then Qiu Feng went to look for the beggar in the place where the child said, and found that the location did not even find the shadow of a beggar.

However, seeing the handwriting on the letter, Qiu Feng could be sure that the beggar was dressed up by Abu, since this was Abu's choice, he couldn't stop it, if Abu really came back, it was estimated that the intelligence department would not be able to tolerate someone like him who betrayed his master.

This is the end of the mole incident.

Zhuge Chen had already guessed that this incident might be the prince's ghost, so he was not too surprised. This incident is a good lesson, it looks like he needs to reorganize internally, and it looks like he has a lot to do.

Early the next morning, Wuyue went into the second master's room to see if he was awake, but she didn't expect the second master to sit on the chair and wait for her. Wuyue said worriedly: "Second master, why don't you ask someone to get up by themselves." ”

The second master replied: "Don't get in the way, you call Qiu Feng to come and see me." ”

Wuyue didn't dare to say much after hearing this, and immediately went out to contact Qiu Feng. Almost a quarter of an hour, a dark shadow appeared in the wing room, this person is Qiu Feng, seeing that the second master's face had recovered most of his complexion, he said happily: "Second master, you finally woke up!" That's great! ”

The second master didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, and continued: "How did you find me that day? ”

Qiu Feng said: "First I saw the second master's jade cicada sword fall next to a stone, and then found that the second master's jade pendant fell to the ground, and there is a wall not far from the jade pendant, Qiu Feng thought that the second master was probably rescued, and finally jumped on the wall to see the second master's clothes fragments, although it was stained red with blood, but Qiu Feng recognized it as the second master's clothes at first sight, so he was more sure of his guess, and then Qiu Feng and the fallen leaves sneaked into the house, and saw that the second master could still stand, and he was really relieved." ”

The second master continued: "Qiu Feng, go and find out the person who saved me, and ask Wuyue to notify Zhuge Chen to come to see me." ”

The autumn wind immediately received the order, just as it disappeared in a blink of an eye when it came.

Although the second master was thinking about who the person who saved him was sacred, the most important thing was to think about another thing, that is, whether the person who introduced him into the bamboo forest was Zhuge Chen. Why did he suspect it, it was because he had known Zhuge Chen for almost ten years, it was impossible to do that kind of thing, there must be someone else.

In a moment, a hurried gray-clothed figure appeared at the door, and this person was Zhuge Chen! The moment he saw the second master, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but looking at the second master's expression, he immediately returned to a serious appearance.

Zhuge Chen took the lead and said: "Second master, we have been calculated by the prince this time!" ”

The second master breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and it seemed that his guess was correct. If there is anyone in Aoyu Country who hates him the most, it is none other than the prince and the Zuo Xiang faction!

Maybe he had just woken up, and the second master felt that the room was very stuffy, so he said, "Zhuge , let's go outside and talk while walking." ”

Zhuge Chen immediately stepped forward and helped the second master's weak body out of the door.
