Chapter 221: The Inner Ghost

"What do you mean?"

Except for Zhang Muyan, who was looking at him from a distance across the long table, including Emperor Song, everyone present had a look of great surprise.

"Lu Cheng, you make it clear, what do you mean by 'first purging the inner ghosts among us'? Who are you referring to? King Qin Guang, who was the head of the Yan Monarch's Palace, was the first to turn his head and cast an aggressive gaze on him.

Regardless of the period, the term "inner ghost" implies an absolute no-go zone in an organization. It represents the cumulative outbreak of clues and anomalies in multiple events, a vague pointing figure in the clues, and a crisis of trust between people at critical moments.

There is no doubt that in this kind of life-and-death situation, whoever is this traitor, the consequences will be unbearable for everyone. Therefore, from King Qin Guang's point of view, he could only pray that this faintly collapsed sentence was just Lu Cheng's momentary nonsense, and this risk was not only unaffordable for him, but also for the entire underworld.

"Of course I mean something, and I think he knows very well who this person is." Lu Cheng smiled, and he was still so calm and calm when he spoke.

"Interesting." Zhang Muyan smiled and shook his head, "The moment I left, Brother Lu Cheng, you told me that there was an inner ghost among the people here." Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, as long as this proposition is raised, the result will inevitably be mutual suspicion within the entire decision-making level, and the answer to all this can only be drawn from your mouth, no matter how the battle situation changes, it will be my entire underworld who will pay the bill! Well done, let me give you a shout-out. As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

This passage spoke out the hearts of many people, and also expressed the meaning of King Qin Guang. Everyone was surprised not only because of the madness of the ghost itself, but also because of Lu Cheng's reckless attitude.

"It's me who should be applauded," someone Lu shook his head as Qianfu pointed out, "What Brother Mu Yan said is very good. I was trying to tell you that there are moles among us, and you gave them back in a better way: even if there were moles among us, you would not dare to suspect the execution now. I didn't specify who it was, so why shouldn't I go on so that the danger of this suspicion might be minimized? From mutual suspicion among people to a loss of trust in one person, the worst consequence is that that person has been wronged by me and will be isolated by everyone for the last period of time. You are in such a hurry to exonerate, don't tell me that it is just a moment of injustice, and justice is overflowing. ”

"Yes, that's what you said." Zhang Muyan smiled and covered his face with a fan, "So who is the person you want to talk about?" Uncle Qin Guangwang, who has always taken a wait-and-see attitude and has never intervened? My father, who is your enemy at every turn? Or me? As for the evidence, you say that there are internal ghosts, but there must be a convincing statement. ”

"The proof is in coincidence." Lu Cheng smiled, "The first time was a decapitation operation. You choose two of the three, and finally bet on the right treasure on the north road on the outskirts of the city, and name me to go. The result of the fact is that the three suspected locations proposed by the sΓ©ance people after the spiritual energy measurement only hit the one I went to, and the remaining two are all nonsense. The interesting part is that what I found happened to be the weakest of the three demon clans, the Demon Concession, and their demon head was an old acquaintance of mine. ”

"Interesting," Zhang Muyan laughed, "So the person you want to correct is actually me?" Even if you have the heart to delve into it far-fetched, the most you can say about this matter is that I am targeting you, right? In order to prove your loyalty to the underworld, what is the problem with me sending you to slay the deceased? Besides, it was your insistence on refusing to go to the north road on the outskirts of the city that made me suspicious, so I named and forced you to go. In this way, it seems that the person who has the problem is precisely you Lu Cheng himself, did you already know that the north road on the outskirts of the city is the dragon's lair of the demon clan before suddenly changing your words before the army formation? If you don't report it first, you will disturb the morale of the army, and you are the one who has a relationship with the demon clan, how did the name of this inner ghost come to me? ”

"How else can you say that Brother Mu Yan is a smart person?" Lu Cheng applauded, "Listen to me." The second time, that is, last night's action schedule. The combination you deliberately assigned is Ye Xi plus King Bian Cheng. I'm just curious, why did the demon clan know in advance that my underworld would definitely arrange for the big people to go, and deliberately set up thirteen big demons for ambush? If I hadn't arrived in time, there would have been no more Bian Chengjun in tonight's council! And what were you doing at the time of the incident? You're intoxicating the other Yan Jun with red wine, and you're not in a hurry to be there after the monsters have been wiped out, as if you knew everything that was going on in the fire! Tell me Zhang Muyan, tell me you don't know anything at all. All of this is pure mishap, unreasonable personnel scheduling and unreasonable ambushes, and your unreasonable performance! ”

"Indeed." Bian Cheng Wang Chu Han nodded, echoing Lu Cheng's words.

"You're the one who should be asked about this, right?" Zhang Muyan frowned slightly, and the smile on his face was even worse in an instant, "Everyone doesn't know about the ambush last night, how did you gain insight into the enemy situation in advance and rush to the scene to save Bian Chengjun at a critical moment?!" Last night's personnel scheduling, I took into account that you were seriously injured and have not recovered, so I deliberately let you rest. But the person who suddenly left in the middle of the field was you, and I was also worried that things would change, so I rushed to the fire in case of accidents while entertaining Yan Jun! I'm wondering if Brother Lu Cheng needs time to sort out the wording, because I see that your point of view is not clear, which of these two interesting examples is not hinting at your own suspicion? ”

There was silence in the seat, and all that was left was Yan Jun looking at each other.

King Bian Cheng gritted his teeth, "Lu Cheng can't be an inner ghost. ”

This heartfelt but protective sentence quickly attracted the disgust of others. Especially King Qin Guang, who had been pondering, replied directly: "Your son can't be a traitor, and the son of Emperor Song is suspected of being a traitor?" ”

The council, which was originally united, has completely exploded in an instant because of the controversy over this matter.

These greasy and discerning people who are hidden in many actions can see it, and they usually don't say it, just because they don't want to dig deeper. But today, someone has opened the conversation, and if the inner ghost is not found, it is obviously impossible for the matter to end well.

There are obviously problems in the two things mentioned by Lu Cheng, the ambush of the demon clan is not fake, and they also turn a blind eye to the piercing wound of the famous sword and nine songs on Lu Cheng's body! The truth is that the core of the argument undoubtedly revolves around these two rivals who have always been incompatible, and either way, they are both suspicious!

The second person to stand up was the old Taoist priest.

The old fellow, accustomed to showing his crazy face, was unusually calm today, and he tossed the coin in his hand again and again across the long table. "Look at your posture, do you want to vote for one of these two boys? That's it, I'll show a rate! Damn, Lao Tzu has always felt that there is something wrong with that kid surnamed Zhang, on the surface, he pretends to be confident about everything, who do you think you are? As soon as Yan Jun and me, the Heavenly Master of the Dao, were all led by your nose? ”

"You're an old Taoist priest, aren't you?" The person who sneered was Emperor Song, and his son was blamed, so he naturally wanted to be the first to express his grievances, "There is a reason for everything, and then I will ask you to go out on this occasion." ”

"What do you want? The reason is that I don't like him. The old Taoist priest who was tossing the coin in place threw the copper plate in his hand into the air, and the next dodge man had already appeared behind Emperor Song! He grabbed Zhang Yihe's neatly combed hair, and his face was full of disdain, "Is this reason enough?" I give you one more reason, and that is that I don't like you either. Emperor Song, is it? I'm standing behind you, I can hurt a hair of my hair, I'll kneel down and admit my mistake to you!" ”

"Stop!" Zhang Lingduan, who has always been silent, has already sacrificed the famous sword peach capital the moment he saw his father being humiliated. The dazzling Nine Tribulation Heavenly Thunder flickered in the dimly lit basement, and the electric sparks floating from the tip of the sword burned like anger in his eyes!

Lu Cheng snorted and didn't plan to save the scene.

Because he understands that on such an occasion, even if he doesn't do it, someone will still stop the second son of the Zhang family, who is still young.

"You put the sword down for me!" King Qin Guang's angry roar shook like a lion in the not very spacious room. At this moment, except for the old Taoist priest who still had disdain on his face and Zhang Muyan of Lucheng who was expressionless, the rest of the people were basically at a loss out of shock.

It was probably because the coercion in this roar was too obvious, and it was not until this moment that everyone reacted to the fact that the first person in the table was the nominally highest speaker so far.

Under the oppression of the superior Yan Jun, Zhang Lingduan, who was about to break out, took back the famous sword Taodu in his hand in a daze. The old Taoist priest sneered, it seemed that he had just let out a fart.

Only Emperor Zhang Yihe, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was grabbed by his hair and strangled his head back, knew in his heart that Chu Qing, the king of Qin Guang, was protecting his second son.

The strength of the old Taoist priest is clear to every Yan Jun here here.

They ignored him for many years because of his scruffy and crazy appearance, thinking that he was just a tiger with sharpened claws and sharp teeth. And now that the tiger suddenly went crazy for unknown reasons, and the moment he countered his guards, people were once again shocked by the minions that he had not taken away for many years.

Once this guy is in trouble, it will be the entire Hades Hall Yan Jun level.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not the demon who kills people without blinking, but the madman who acts illogically.

"In fact, there is a way to solve this embarrassing situation in front of us."

Zhang Muyan smiled, and said such a sentence after the group calmed down.

"Say." King Qin Guang let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at the people around him a little weakly.

"Brother Lu Cheng went to Central City to assassinate the demon leader, and I was under house arrest under your surveillance." He glanced at Lu Cheng across the long table, with a smile in his eyes, "If we are also suspicious, we might as well stop taking over affairs." While focusing on solving the current crisis, we are also demonstrating to everyone that we are all sincere. ”

"As you say." Lu Cheng sneered and nodded.

After talking for so long, what Zhang Muyan thought in his heart was nothing more than to let himself go to the CBD alone.

The reason why he agreed was that on the one hand, he knew that he had no chance of winning and persuaded everyone to believe in him, and on the other hand, he understood that the situation of the demon clan's attack in front of him was urgent and could not be delayed any longer. As for the matter of the inner ghost, with the confession of the demon clan, it can also be discussed in the long run.
