Chapter 80 The Traitor Who Appears Inside
In the evening, they finally arrived at the place they had mentioned, and sure enough, the leader of the horse team asked everyone to camp and rest on the spot.
Because there is a canyon in front of it, there will be a certain danger if you rush at night, and this is also a decision that there is no way to make.
At that moment, the men of the horse team began to take the tents from the wagons, feed the horses with fodder, and some went to the nearby river to fetch water.
Seeing that they had a clear division of labor, Li thought they didn't go to help.
Li Xiang walked to the captain and sat down, because Li Xiang had saved himself during the day, the captain had a good impression of this young man.
"I remember your name is Li Xiang, right, come and taste the wine I brought." The captain has a good personality, and he beckoned Li Xiang to sit down.
The other four went to stand guard around and stand guard, and Da Gang and Ding Zhong went to probe their mouths.
"I haven't seen Meng Lang since I left the city, where did he go?"
The captain was puzzled, but Li Xiang just smiled faintly.
"Captain, do you think the robbers we encountered this afternoon are so easy to deal with?"
After Li Xiang said this, the captain immediately understood what Li Xiang meant.
"yes, why are those robbers so easy to deal with?"
After the captain finished speaking, he took a deep sip of wine.
"In that case, then I won't ask, you should have something to ask about coming to me, right?"
This captain is not a fool, so he simply asked Li Xiang straight to the point.
"I want to ask the captain, what do you think about the ambush this afternoon?"
Li Xiang didn't know who the traitor was, it might be the captain, but he could only test it.
When the captain heard his words, the smile on his face suddenly put away, and he looked at the fire without making a sound.
Li Xiang didn't ask, the captain was thinking, but it showed that he was not an impulsive or brainless person.
"No way, what happened during the day today should just be a coincidence."
After a long time, the captain shook his head, he couldn't believe that there were moles in his team.
"Let's take it as a coincidence, count me as careful, I want to ask, what is the origin of the four people under your hand?"
Li Xiang didn't refute the captain, there was no need to refute, there would definitely be other things in the future.
"The four of them are all my adopted children, the eldest Zidian was picked up by me from the snowfield, and he only had one breath left at that time, the second Qingshuang was destroyed in his house, and I found him from the pile of dead people and brought him back."
"As for the third child, she was abducted and sold by human traffickers and was going to be sold in the kiln, I rescued her, as for the fourth snake, he was raised by me since he was a child, I am very strict with their education, and they will not betray me."
After the captain finished speaking, there was a determination in his eyes, and Li wanted to see this, so he just nodded.
"Then you say, is it possible that the horse team ......?"
Lee wants to turn his target to the horse team, after all, the background in the game needs to be supplemented by these NPCs.
"I found this team the day before yesterday, and the specific route was only told to them today, and they didn't know anything about our movements."
The captain shook his head, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
That's right, there are only a few people who know the route, except for them, only those high-level people in the city know, is it leaked by these high-level people?
The captain really didn't want to put the target of his suspicion on his own people, and Li Xiang didn't bother any more, got up and went back to his tent.
Ding Deng, Da Gang has come back and is sitting in the tent exchanging information, Li wants to turn on the team's voice and let Lao Meng also participate.
"Li Xiang, you're finally back, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to us to find out the news." Ding Zhong sat on the ground with some frustration.
"Don't worry, this matter is in a hurry, this traitor is deeper than you and I imagined."
Li Xiang told the news he had heard, and Ding Zhong and Da Gang frowned when they heard it.
"I think all four of them are suspicious, what if the other party is a bitter ployer, just to hit a nail next to the captain?" Ding Zhong immediately became suspicious.
"I don't think we can rule out the suspicion of the captain, he can be coerced and lured, at least the four of them are really suspicious." Da Gang also expressed his thoughts, Meng Lang and Li Xiang did not speak, and they did not dare to guarantee which of these five people was innocent.
"You guys discuss it first, I seem to see the situation!"
Meng Lang directly cut off his voice and listened to what he meant, as if there was some special situation.
"We need to be more vigilant too!"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside, and Ding Zhong immediately rushed out.
Da Gang protected Li Xiang and walked out, only to see a figure running quickly into the woods, Ding Zhong was just about to catch up, Li Xiang stopped her.
"Ding Zhong, be careful of an ambush, come back!"
Li Xiang called Ding Zhong back, and at the same time shocked the people in the other tents.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiang saw the captain looking at Li Xiang and them with a solemn face.
"Someone was eavesdropping on our conversation just now, and I suspected that there was some ambush nearby, so I asked Ding Zhong to come back."
Li Xiang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the captain and his four team members were there.
Originally, he thought that the captain and one of his four team members did it, but he didn't expect to guess wrong.
"Since there are enemy spies, let's search the woods in the distance together."
The captain took the initiative to suggest that the forest was more than 200 meters away from their camp, and if there was really someone hiding inside who was preparing to ambush, they might be in danger.
So the captain organized his men to start searching the woods, but before they could get into the woods, there was a commotion in the woods.
"Not good! There really is an ambush! ”
The captain immediately shouted, and everyone took out their weapons to defend themselves.
"I didn't expect to be discovered by you, brothers, come out!"
A young voice came from inside the woods, and suddenly several torches lit up in the woods, and a group of people came out of the woods.
At the forefront was a young man in his twenties, with surprise on his face, but soon changing to a smile.
Behind him was a strong man with a mountain axe, who looked about as tall as Da Gang.
To his left was a girl with a tattoo on her face, holding a long sword in her hand, and looking at the person opposite her with cold eyes.
"You're bandits?" The captain asked with a gloomy face, if the other party was a bandit, he had a way to solve it.
"I'm sorry, we're not, we received a bounty, come here to get something, you honestly give it to us, otherwise, you will all die!"
The young man had a smile on his face when he spoke, but behind the smile was a murderous face.
"You're here for these things too? It seems that someone really leaked the news. ”
The captain couldn't help but sneer, and then raised his long sword.
"Step over my corpse if you want!"
When the young man on the opposite side heard this, he sneered, his hand slowly raised, and with a slight finger, the big man behind him brandished a mountain axe and slashed towards the captain.
The captain immediately raised his sword to block, but he didn't expect this guy's strength to be extremely strong, and he directly shook the captain back several steps.
"Your strength is too small, if it weren't for my strength, you would have been split in half by me now."
The strong man couldn't help but laugh, which made the captain's face very ugly.
"Hmph, I'll try."
Da Gang was not happy to see this guy, so he took the initiative to stand up, the strong man had already seen Da Gang, but the other party stood behind and did not come out, and he was embarrassed to rush to the other party.
Now that the other party has stepped forward, he is happy.
"Good boy, then I'll sacrifice your head to the flag."
After the strong man finished speaking, he raised his axe and slashed at Da Gang, who immediately took out his shield to block, and a loud bang of the bell spread throughout the night sky.
A yellow shield appeared around Da Gang's body, and the axe slashed at the shield without causing a single scar.
"But that's it!" Da Gang sneered, and with a hard hand, he knocked the strong man back.
The strong man had a frightened expression on his face, he had originally held the mountain axe in his right hand, but he had also switched to his left hand, and his right hand trembled.
This is the "paralyzing effect" that triggers the Great Gang Shield.
"Good boy, you've got yours." The strong man did not admit defeat on his lips, and waited until his right hand eased a little, and then he re-grasped the mountain axe.
The two strong men went to the side to fight hard, and the tattooed girl walked out and took the initiative to provoke Li Xiang and them.
The captain originally wanted his four team members to go up, but Ding Zhong spoke.
"I hate this kind of bewitching girl the most in my life, let this guy give it to me!" After Ding Zhong finished speaking, he took the initiative to step forward and face the tattooed girl.
Later, Li Xiang learned that Ding Deng's ex-boyfriend was snatched away by a girl with tattoos, in the words that the man told Ding Deng, when you saw a woman with a big dragon tattoo under your body, that feeling was stimulating, and the other party still had silver lines in a certain position.
Although Li Xiang can't imagine what this kind of person thinks in his head, everyone has special habits, and you can't say that people are wrong.
Ding Zhong was really ruthless to this tattooed girl, but she was difficult to take down for a while due to the length of the weapon.
In the end, the young man directly ordered his men to start attacking, and the captain and the four people under his command cooperated with the people of the horse team to start counterattacking.
Li Xiang was looking for an opportunity to make a move, preparing to kill this young man, he held the "Wind Spirit Blade" in one hand and used a scalpel to defend himself with the other.
And the other party also discovered Li Xiang's hostility towards him, so he directly drew his knife and began to come towards Li Xiang.
"Damn, this guy is so sharp!"
Li Xiang couldn't help but curse secretly, but the other party was already coming towards him, and now he could only find a way to rush forward.
Just as this guy was slashing towards Li Xiang, a red light flashed next to him, and a dagger emitting red light blocked the knife.
Meng Lang came out to help at a critical moment!
