Chapter 224: The Spy
After the demon clan withdrew from the county seat, Li Zhi withdrew the 8,000 troops used for ambush to the county seat.
At the beginning, Li Zhi was obviously exhausted, but in the end he found out that he had fallen for the calculation of the demon clan.
At that time, Li Zhi thought, as long as there are people in the city as the internal response of the demon clan, they can know the secret of his withdrawal, after all, when the army was withdrawn from the city, there will definitely be a certain sound, and someone who is interested can find out the secret.
But later, Li Zhi felt that this was too wrong, the army had just withdrawn to the outside to ambush, and the demon army was already in the city, and this spy had obviously not an ordinary understanding of his arrangement.
In this way, there is only one explanation, there are spies of the demon clan in the county government, and his status is not low, and he knows all his plans.
After some investigation, Li Zhi did already have a suspicion, and he only told the henchmen of the army about the affairs in the army, and as for the other people in the county government, they were all kept secret.
Lin Cheng is the county supervisor of Shannan County, and he has always had a good relationship with Li Zhi, after all, they are both civil officials, but they are not dealing with Fang Hao, the county lieutenant who commands the army.
After the demon clan army retreated, Lin Cheng spoke ill of Fang Hao in front of Li Zhi more than once, and he even suspected that Fang Hao was a spy of the demon clan, otherwise how could the demon clan know so much about the military arrangements of Shannan County?
But Li Zhi did not show his attitude, he was noncommittal, in this way, Lin Cheng thought that Li Zhi might have listened to it, and several times in the future, when he said bad things about Fang Hao, he could sense that Li Zhi was already on his side.
Lin thought his plan had succeeded, but in recent days he has realized that something is not quite right.
Li Zhi seemed to be close to him, but in fact, he basically couldn't understand the situation in the army, and Fang Hao had rarely seen it recently.
At this time, Lin Chengcheng knew that there was going to be a big problem, but he had no clue where the problem was, until he received the task again.
There was a big problem in the Stygian Mountain, and the demon clan was going to attack the county again, and Lin Cheng was the first to get the news, because the real demon clan spy was him.
Lin Cheng sorted out his thoughts and came to the hall of the yamen of the county government, but saw Li Zhi sitting there reading a book.
This scholar's cultivation is not weak, Lin Cheng knows better than anyone else.
"Master Li can't let go of the scroll, he is a model for my generation!" Lin Cheng's voice sounded in the empty hall, and several responses rang out.
Li Zhi put the book down, glanced at Lin Cheng who walked into the hall, and said with a smile: "Why did Lord Lin come here?" โ
"That's the case, I haven't seen Lord Fang Hao Fang recently, does he have any conspiracy?" Lin Cheng said.
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and chuckled: "Fang Hao has always been arrogant, but he shouldn't do anything out of the ordinary!" โ
Hearing this, Lin Cheng had already determined in his heart that Li Zhi had already suspected Fang Hao.
He was secretly proud in his heart, thinking about how to understand Fang Hao's recent movements from Li Zhi's mouth.
Although there were only 8,000 soldiers in Shannan County, Lin Cheng knew that these 8,000 soldiers were not easy to match, and he understood the horror of the Terran army.
"It's that the lower officials are too worried, it seems that Lord Fang is training, too, although the demon clan has retreated, who can guarantee that they will not make a comeback? Be vigilant at all times, that's right! Lin Cheng's words were full of temptation.
Li Zhi nodded: "Lord Lin is slightly the same as what I see, I always feel that these demon clans will not give up!" โ
"Then where is General Fang Hao training?" Lin Cheng asked, he knew that in order for the demon clan army to control the county again, the only way to deal with these eight thousand soldiers was to deal with them first.
"General Fang Hao is not training, but ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Li Zhi's eyes flashed with an unfathomable color, but he didn't say the key point.
Lin Cheng scolded secretly, but at this point, there was no need to continue.
"If Master Li has no other instructions, then the lower official will retire first!" Lin Cheng stood up and saluted.
"Lord Lin go and go about your own business!" Li Zhi said indifferently.
Lin Cheng nodded and exited the hall, and then his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "It's time to go to the garrison to have a look!" โ
As the county supervisor of Shannan County, Lin Cheng naturally knew where the army was stationed in peacetime, but when he came to the school field, he found it empty, where could he see a soldier?
Lin Cheng's expression couldn't help but change, and he said softly: "Could it be that Li Zhi has already gotten the news?" It's impossible! โ
"Nothing is impossible in this world!"
A familiar voice came, Lin Cheng's face changed suddenly, he looked back, and saw Fang Hao walking from the gate.
This is a man about thirty years old, cultivated to the Seven Realms, and has a unique iron and blood intent on his body, which makes his already tall figure much taller in an instant.
"Fang Hao!" Lin Cheng's face was very ugly, he knew that Shicai's self-talk had been heard by Fang Hao, but fortunately, he didn't show any horses.
"It's me!" Fang Hao said indifferently.
Lin Cheng snorted coldly and asked, "You withdrew the eight thousand garrisons, but you didn't tell the county guard, what do you want?" Could it be that you are a spy of the demon clan? Oops, I'm afraid the demon army will come to the city again! โ
"The spy of the demon clan is not me, it's you!" Fang Hao said indifferently.
When Lin Cheng heard this, he sneered: "Why are you talking so much? Let's go see the county keeper! โ
"No need, I'm already here!"
Li Zhi's voice came from outside the school field, he was dressed as a scholar, and his body exuded a gentle and elegant atmosphere.
"Lord Li came just in time, Fang Hao mobilized the army privately, this is a big crime!" Lin Cheng said.
Li Zhi said lightly: "I asked Fang Hao to mobilize the army!" โ
"What!" Lin Cheng's heart trembled violently, and his expression couldn't help but change at the moment, knowing that he had been exposed, but when he recalled his every move, he didn't find any flaws.
"The last time I was calculated by the demon clan, I knew that there was a spy, and the spy could only be between you and Fang Hao, since it was not Fang Hao, it could only be you!" Li Zhi said lightly.
Lin Cheng asked seriously: "In that case, why me?" โ
Li Zhidao: "Because I believe in Fang Hao, from beginning to end, Fang Hao is my person!" โ
When Lin Cheng heard this, his expression was as ugly as he was.
Obviously, Fang Hao and Li Zhi have been acting for him all along.
"Even if you see through me, you still can't change anything!" Lin Cheng's eyes flashed with a strange color, and there was a black mist on his body.
"I didn't understand why I betrayed as a human race, why I wanted to join the demon race!" Fang Hao said.
Li Zhi sighed and said, "You didn't find out, he is not a human at all!" โ
"The aura on his body is a little strange, but he is still human!" Fang Hao had a puzzled look on his face.
"Li Zhi is Li Zhi, and he actually saw the key!" Lin Cheng's voice was hoarse, he spread his hands out, and a thick demonic power swept away, causing the void to make a loud sound.
"Half-demon!" Fang Hao's expression was very solemn, Lin Cheng's lower body was still a human body at this time, but his head had changed, and his arms were also covered with scales.
"Yes, I'm a half-demon, damn humans, you all deserve to die!" Lin Cheng's voice was full of inexplicable hatred and anger, obviously the human race had done a lot of things to hurt him.
"I don't know what you've suffered, but you shouldn't betray Shannan County!" Li Zhi said lightly.
Lin Cheng let out a wild laugh, closed his arms, and struck at Li Zhi.
Without waiting for Li Zhi to make a move, he saw Fang Hao shake his spear, and the spear bloomed, rolling away like a river of light.
Lin Cheng turned into a half-demon state, his cultivation was already at the peak of the Seven Realms, and with the power of his physical body, under this blow, Fang Hao was shocked back.
"His state at this time is more powerful than the demon clans of the same realm, you are not his opponent, I'll come!" Li Zhi said lightly, he stepped out, and a sudden momentum flowed on his body.
Lin Cheng didn't have time to react, but he had already been shaken out.
"You turned out to be a cultivator of the Eight Realms!" Lin Cheng shouted, his eyes full of fear at this time, because he knew that he was not Li Zhi's opponent.
"From the day you make your choice, today's ending is doomed!" Li Zhi stepped out, the light in his palm flowed, and the strong strength shot out.
"Roar!" Lin Cheng let out an inhuman roar, and at this moment, he saw his arms move together to meet Li Zhi.
With a thud, he was swept off like a kite with a broken string, and his body slammed to the ground, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
Lin Cheng let out a miserable scream, and then jumped into the air at an extremely fast speed.
But at this moment, the spear in Fang Hao's hand was thrown out, directly penetrating Lin Cheng's heart, and then his body smashed to the ground again, and the breath he inhaled was no longer exhaled.
"My lord, what shall we do now?" Fang Hao asked.
From the time Lin Cheng got in touch with the Demon Clan, they already knew that the Demon Clan's army had moved.
"Don't be afraid, we're not alone!" Li Zhi smiled indifferently, until now, he had not said that the imperial court reinforcements had arrived.
Seeing that Li Zhi was so calm and confident, Fang Hao's heart was a little less nervous, but the demon clan army had already moved, and according to estimates, it would be less than half an hour before it arrived.
Although the 8,000 soldiers are all elites, how can they resist the demon army?
According to rough estimates, the demon clan army is probably about 100,000, even if it is all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, in terms of quantity alone, they are completely incomparable.
But the way of the soldiers, the way of using the soldiers, Fang Hao can be regarded as a little understanding, can not be calculated only by the quantity, but how can the surprise soldiers attack?
Thinking of the last time they were calculated, Fang Hao didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go to the city wall!"
While Fang Hao was thinking, Li Zhi's voice sounded, and the two hurried up to the city wall.
It's almost noon, but at this season, the sun is already setting in the west.
Li Zhi looked up at the endless blue sky, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, if there was no such mess, just standing on this city wall and watching the scenery was indeed a pleasure.
But now, they are facing the greatest crisis in their history.
"I don't know what's going on over there!" Li Zhi muttered softly.
Suddenly, outside the county town, there was a violent sound, like a rushing and roaring river, Li Zhi came back to his senses, looked into the distance, and saw that there was smoke and dust, rolling endlessly.
