I saw that in the bedroom of the inner room, the beds were messy, the wardrobe was open, and a few clothes and miscellaneous items were randomly discarded on the ground, a mess.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Kun couldn't help but be surprised:

"Did Xu Jiehu defect?"

The door lock was intact before, and it was forcibly opened by Qi Gang from the outside, indicating that the scene in front of him was not a thief.

It's like a defection!

Qi Gang didn't speak, but walked around the room with a cold face, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy.

In fact, the defection of the congregation occurred occasionally in the stronghold.

Most of the defectors were exiles and captives who had just been taken into captivity.

A small number of these people will do everything possible to escape before receiving the baptism of the Christianity, but when they are first taken captive, they are often helpless, and there are high-pressure guards everywhere in the mountains, so almost no one succeeds in escaping.

As for those who have been promoted to high-level sects and dare to defect, they are even rarer.

On the one hand, the canon is harsh, not to mention, as an alien, even if you escape from the stronghold and go outside, you are just a rat in the gutter, hiding and hiding, for fear that you will be discovered by the people of the evil division, and you can't live in fear;

On the other hand, in order to control one's own alienation and pursue a higher martial arts realm, only the sect can provide exercises and various resources, so generally speaking, the more successful the sect members, the less likely they are to defect.

Xu Jiehu's cultivation is not bad, and his performance on weekdays is quite normal, is it because he has lost his mind and is crazy to run away suddenly?

Seeing that Qi Gang's face was wrong, Wang Kun said cautiously: "Envoy Qi, do you want to send someone to search the mountain?" ”

"The mountains and forests are so big, where do you go to search?"

There was suspicion in his eyes, and Qi Gang waved his hand with a cold face:

"There's something wrong with this, check it out for me first! Go to Xu Jiehu's close subordinates, ask them who Xu Jiehu has been in contact with recently, what abnormalities and trends he has had, and then talk about it! ”

Wang Kun immediately received the order: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

......

Just one morning.

The news of Xu Jiehu's suspected defection of senior sect member spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the entire rudder stronghold.

Wang Kun, who was in charge of investigating the matter, led people around to interrogate the sect members who had close contacts with Xu Jiehu, and there was a lot of turmoil.

As for Chen Zheng, he also got the news after going out to investigate, and he has nothing to do with himself, and he is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai.

He is now favored by Mrs. Wumu, and many people in the sect are envious, jealous and hateful, but they don't dare to provoke him.

And Xu Jiehu followed them to plot misdeeds, which is an unspeakable secret, and it is obviously impossible to inform others of his actions.

So he wasn't worried at all about what would come out.

It's late afternoon.

Zhao Wu, Wu San, and He Daming came to his small courtyard together.

"Brother Zheng, have you heard?"

As soon as he entered the door, Wu San looked incredulous, and said in a low voice:

"Everyone in the sect is saying that Xu Jiehu has defected, just now Wang Kun led people to find several sect members who have close contacts with Xu Jiehu to investigate and inquire, what's going on?"

He Daming and Zhao Wu were also full of doubts:

"Yes, Brother Zheng, that Xu Jiehu died in the mountains and forests, missing and missing, why was he suddenly recognized as a defector?"

Chen Zheng smiled, reached out and took out something from his arms, which lit up in front of the three of them.

It was a brass key.

"It's ......"

Except for He Daming, who was a little puzzled, Wu San and Zhao Wu both had bright eyes:

"That's ...... so"

"Brother Zheng, it's really yours!"

Chen Zheng put away the key:

"Okay, just know what's going on, you go back in peace, keep your mouths shut, and no storm will blow on you."

"Understood, understood......"

Wu San, who suddenly brightened up in his heart, smiled, and then He Daming suddenly said with a sudden realization:

"I see, that's what happened!"

This reaction nerve made Chen Zheng cry and laugh.

Without too much instruction, the three of them left with interest.

Seeing off the three of them, Chen Zheng was thoughtful.

The key he showed was naturally the key to Xu Jiehu's residence.

After searching the other party's body, he found the key and put it on his body.

Then, in the middle of the night, he also became a thief who broke into the empty door, went in and ransacked the house, and created the illusion of running away with a roll of covers.

Sure enough, under such a maze, Xu Jiehu, who was buried in the mountains and forests, was beaten as a defector, and the four of them were picked out.

"Xu Jiehu, Xu Jiehu, you broke into my empty door once, I broke into your empty door once, everyone is evened out now......"

Chen Zheng smiled, and pinched it hard in his hand, and the brass key suddenly twisted into a twist.

......

It's late afternoon.

In the Hall of Foreign Affairs.

Qi Gang looked at Wang Kun, who hurriedly came to report in front of him, and frowned:

"How's it going, have you gained anything?"

Wang Kun was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly:

"I'm sorry Envoy Qi, I asked the members of Xu Jiehu's garrison team, as well as the two sect members who were in close contact with him, but they didn't find any signs of defection from the other party, let alone how Xu Jiehu went."

Qi Gang squinted his eyes and said coldly:

"This matter has reached the ears of Madame, and she asked me only in the afternoon, and this is the result of the investigation you gave me?"

Hearing that Mrs. Wumu was also concerned, Wang Kun broke out in a cold sweat and said stubbornly:

"Qi Nei envoy, it's not that his subordinates are slack, but that the incident happened suddenly, this Xu Jiehu didn't reveal his intentions to anyone at all, and it has been a long time since he planned to escape.

It's a pity that we found out too late, and I'm afraid that this miscellaneous is already thousands of miles away now, so depending on my subordinates, it is better to immediately notify the sect members who are on a mission in the surrounding cities to pay attention, maybe they can ......."

As the rudder stronghold of the frontier wasteland, the tentacles of the Tianmu Divine Cult also cover hundreds of miles in the surrounding area, and there are contact points in several populated cities.

Although Xu Jiehu defected, he might want to go to one of the cities, and if he used the shadows planted by the sect, maybe there was a little hope that he could be found.

"Those people were personally arranged by Madame, do you think you can use them if you want to?"

Qi Gang interrupted impatiently, and there was still lingering doubt in his evil eyes:

"Xu Jiehu is quite ambitious, and he has always wanted to climb up in the sect, so it stands to reason that there should be no defection...... Have you ever checked if anyone else had come down that morning? ”

Wang Kun was stunned for a moment, and tried to remember for a while:

"My subordinates have asked the disciples who patrol the mountain, in addition to Xu Jiehu, it seems that there are two hunting teams that have also gone down the mountain into the forest, one is Cao Hongping's team, and the other is the team led by Chen Zheng......"

Hearing these two names, Qi Gang couldn't help frowning.
