Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 208 Xiao Wuji returns to the city

"Boom"

At night, a group of men and horses crossed the long street of the imperial city, they were wearing black armor and their faces were full of murderous aura.

The man at the head had a gloomy face and bloodshot eyes.

It was Xiao Wuji, who took the rest of the Black Dragon Guards and took the lead in returning to the city.

Nearly 2,000 people, although they set off before Li Feibai, but the latter had fewer people, and Xiao Wuji was half a day later than Li Feibai.

They went straight to the Tsing Yi Division, and Nangong Ding, who received the news, was already waiting in the main hall.

Unloading the combat knife at his waist and taking off his armor, Xiao Wuji quickly walked into the main hall.

"Lord Wang, please cure the capital crime of Wuji!"

As soon as they met, Xiao Wuji fell to the ground, his voice hoarse and choked.

Glancing at him, Nangong Ding already knew about the killing of twenty centurions.

He let out a sigh of disappointment.

"All the centurions who went out on the expedition were killed?"

Nangong still has a trace of luck in his heart, even if he can come back a few.

"Lord Wang, his subordinates are incompetent, please punish Lord Wang!" Xiao Wuji didn't dare to raise his head at all.

"What the hell is going on? These twenty people, who were the most poor in cultivation and were also at the peak of the Yellow Rank, how could they all be killed overnight? Nangong Ding asked.

"Because...... Because he was betrayed by a mole. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Wuji gritted his teeth again.

"Mole?" Nangong Ding was slightly surprised: "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wuji straightened up and carefully described the incident from beginning to end.

After listening, Nangong Ding was silent for a long time, digesting what Xiao Wuji described.

"Your strategy, although risky, is indeed correct when most of the grain and grass are burned."

Nangong Ding first affirmed Xiao Wuji's strategy.

"But tactically, you couldn't be more wrong. Baijiang Market, that is the territory where Qiancheng Pavilion has lived for many years, their hidden identity, which can you find out overnight? ”

Xiao Wuji lowered his head again, not daring to reply.

Indeed, he was too confident in the Black Dragon Guard's abilities and ignored this.

Nangong Ding continued: "On the contrary, twenty centurions want to disguise themselves as various identities to blend into the city within two or three days, and as long as the other party is not blind, they can find out a few at will. Wuji, you have been with me for so long, how can you not know this bit of common sense in secret espionage? ”

"Lord Wang, it was my negligence, and I am willing to receive the death penalty!" Xiao Wuji slammed his head on the ground.

Closing his eyes, Nangong Ding let out a long sigh.

The tone was full of anger and helplessness.

"Commander Xiao, the entire David, there are only a hundred Black Dragon Guard centurions, they can be said to be the elite of the elite, you went this time, just to suppress a Jianghu force, you lost twenty, this ...... I'm afraid it can't be said, right? Sun Qirui, the commander of the assassination camp on the side, followed and spoke.

"The point is that the Thousand Cities Pavilion has been pacified, and the credit belongs to him King Qi, but it is our men and horses who are lost." Xu Yuanzhong, the commander of the intelligence battalion, also rarely expressed his opinion.

Although he was ashamed in his heart, seeing Xu Yuanzhong say this, Xiao Wuji muttered in his heart: It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, Sun Qirui is just that, when will it be your turn Xu Yuanzhong to arrange me?

"Let's talk about the mole?" Nangong Ding didn't let Xiao Wuji stand up.

"Yes!" Xiao Wuji replied respectfully: "Now that I think about it, if I hadn't made such a fatal mistake, the traitor wouldn't have taken advantage of it." ”

He told again about the investigation and punishment of the traitor.

"This is strange, only the six of you know the identities of the twenty centurions, but the handwriting does not match all of them?"

Nangong Ding was also puzzled.

"Actually, my subordinates already have a rough judgment." Xiao Wuji had the courage to speak.

"Oh, tell me?"

"It's Nangong Mountain!"

"How so?"

"First of all, he should have ordered someone to write the information and hand it over to Qiancheng Pavilion, so the handwriting of this information is not his."

Xiao Wuji said.

"This is the condition of committing the crime, but what about the motive?" Sun Qirui asked.

"The motive couldn't be clearer, he wants to borrow the hand of Qiancheng Pavilion to weaken the strength of the prince." Xiao Wuji blurted out

And out.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

"If that's the case, then Commander Xiao really can't guard against it." Sun Qirui said.

"And." Xiao Wuji continued: "At that time, when I saw King Qi's thoughts, I couldn't wait to negotiate with Qiancheng Pavilion, and I didn't want to continue to entangle with them at all. ”

"Hmph, King Qi's abacus, this king knows it." Nangong Ding patted the desk and stood up.

"Presumably, the terms of the final negotiation are not conducive to the royal family. At that time, the imperial brother blamed him, and he could have put the blame on Wuji, saying that he was ineffective in commanding the battle, and he no longer had the capital to continue to entangle with Qiancheng Pavilion, so he had to accept these conditions as a last resort. ”

"In this way, in the face of the master of the Thousand Cities Pavilion, Nangong Mountain can win favor, so as to create conditions for recruiting the Thousand Cities Pavilion."

"Okay, what a Nangong Mountain, killing three birds with one stone!" Nangong Ding spoke angrily.

"This King of Qi is too despicable, he has all the benefits, and we have to carry all the bad." Sun Qirui clenched his fists and restrained his anger.

"Mowgli, get up."

Nangong Ding thought of this, and immediately felt that Xiao Wuji was excusable.

"My subordinates are dead, and I don't dare to get up."

"Alright, get up when you are called, and put on a woman's posture." Nangong Ding said impatiently.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Xiao Wuji kowtowed again before getting up.

Pacing back and forth in the main hall, Nangong Ding frowned slightly and continued: "Although your analysis is reasonable, we lack evidence, and there is no way to take King Qi. ”

"Lord Wang, as long as we can find someone who writes the information on our behalf, isn't the evidence conclusive?" Xiao Wuji arched his hand.

"The ghostwriter?"

Speaking of this, Nangong Ding suddenly stopped, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He always felt that some things were awkward, but he just couldn't grasp them.

This feels like when Liu Renfang was killed, the entire Tsing Yi Division suspected that the "White Tiger" did it, but Nangong Ding always felt that something was wrong.

In the end, after Li Feibai's reminder, it was determined that it was not the "White Tiger"! (See Chapters 86-87 for details)

Now that feeling is back in my mind.

This made Nangong Ding very confused.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Sun Qirui asked.

Shaking his head, Nangong came back to his senses, temporarily put aside his doubts, and said, "It's okay." Mowgli, what did you just say? ”

"Back to the prince's words, I said that as long as I find the person who writes the information on my behalf, I can confirm the evidence of King Qi's crime." Xiao Wuji replied.

"Who doesn't know that." Before Nangong Ding could speak, Sun Qirui preemptively said.

"The question is, where to find this person? Maybe he was already killed by King Qi. Nangong Ding followed back.

He understands Nangong Shan's temperament, is ruthless, and will do whatever it takes for his own benefit.
