Shangguan Hong was ambushed in a secluded corner as soon as he left the barracks, and his death was miserable, almost cut into meat sauce, and he could only rely on the small ornaments left at the scene to identify his identity.

This is no longer an ordinary assassination, but more like a crazy vent of anger, or an attempt to hide the truth by such brutal means.

Gu Shenwei was inclined to the latter possibility, although the Jinpeng Castle he knew, although he was ruthless and ruthless, he rarely tortured corpses meaninglessly.

Shangguan Fei intellectually agreed with the Dragon King's inference, but his face was still pale and he almost wanted to vomit.

He hated Shangguan Hong, and wished that this half-brother would die early, but seeing the wolfish corpses, even if they were fake, made him feel sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.

He saw his future in this horrific scene.

The Dragon King is going to move in earnest, for five days in a row, he conducted a large-scale search inside and outside the capital city of Shiguo and the military camp, and he personally participated in the investigation of key areas, and did not let go of every possible hiding place.

A total of thirty-four Jinpeng Castle killers and knife men were caught, most of them were killed on the spot, only two were caught alive, and in the process of twisting and sending them to the Dragon King, they also committed suicide by swallowing poison.

This is certainly not all the spies who are lurking in the sea, but Gu Shenwei can only do this.

On the night of the sixth day of Shangguan Hong's disappearance, two military depots in Shiguo were attacked by arson at the same time.

The two military depots are bright and dark, the former is located more than forty miles southwest of the capital, Gu Shenwei once took the Shangguan brothers to see, there are many sharp wooden pegs hidden in it, the latter is next to the city wall of the capital, it looks like an ordinary house on the outside, but there are often ox carts carrying goods in and out, and the strange black oil that Shangguan Fei saw is stored here.

The scale of the sneak attack was unexpected, there were **ten people in each place, and the big search in the past few days did not seem to eradicate the power of Jinpeng Castle, but made it stronger.

Gu Shenwei had already strengthened the guards in these two places and set a trap, and after a short confrontation, the sneak attackers suffered heavy losses and almost wiped out their entire army, but they succeeded in igniting the arsenal and burning the hard work of Prime Minister Zhong Heng.

The fire soared into the sky, one in the south and one in the north, illuminating half of the sky, which lasted for a long time until dawn before it gradually weakened.

For a while, rumors spread, and the confidence of the people of the free navy in the war was even lowered, and the experienced people hurriedly rushed to buy food, properly hid it, and prepared for another protracted siege.

When the fire broke out, Gu Shenwei and Zhong Heng were arranging troops in the tent all night, and when the news came, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Hong finally passed on the information, and it was faster than they imagined, as for the two military arsenals, more than half of the armor in them were models made of wood, and a few real items were put out for Shangguan Hong to see at that time.

"From here to Shuangquan Village, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth, and it is only the sixth day, and Jinpeng Castle's reaction seems to be too fast. Zhong Heng asked.

"So the person who gave the order will definitely not be Shangguan Jianyi, probably a certain sword master, let me go and ...... him" Gu Shenwei strode to the door, suddenly stopped, and turned around with understanding, "Is it ......?"

"Exactly!" Zhong Heng, who had always been calm, showed a rare obvious excitement, "Shangguan Jianyi has already dived into the Xiaoyao Sea, and he is near us!"

"He's the commander of an army. ”

"You too. Zhong Heng said with a smile.

Killers have the urge to take risks alone, the Dragon King has left his army behind many times to reconnoiter the enemy, Shangguan Jianyi also has this possibility, isn't this the character that Dubu King appreciates?

It seemed too hasty to judge that the enemy commander was hiding nearby based on only two relatively large-scale sneak attacks, but the more Gu Shenwei thought about it, the more likely it became, and he couldn't help but become excited.

Zhong Heng led people to extinguish the fire and catch the fleeing sneak attackers, while Gu Shenwei led more than 200 personal soldiers and 300 swordsmen to surround the camp of the generals of the five countries of Xiaoyaohai.

Thinking that Shangguan Jianyi was hiding in the barracks, Gu Shenwei was not guessing out of thin air.

After the assassination of the palace, Gu Shenwei ordered someone to secretly monitor Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong, and there were many indications that the people who contacted Shangguan Hong came from the tents of the generals of the five countries.

Gu Shenwei had planned to cultivate this small nest for a while longer, but since the biggest fish might bite the hook, he decided that it was better to reel in immediately, and he even wondered if it was a little too late to do so.

As soon as the encirclement was set up, news came that most of the sneak attackers who burned the military arsenal were stragglers from Shikoku, who fled after the defeat at the beginning, and on the surface they never returned to the army, and their names could not be found in the books, but in fact they had been hiding in the barracks and were protected by their companions.

The five ** teams are all involved, and even the stone ** team, which is relatively loyal, has soldiers who volunteer to protect these people.

Things seem to be getting bigger and bigger, the soldiers of the five countries occupy almost one-third of the dragon king's army, and letting it go is tantamount to conniving at betrayal, strict investigation and punishment, and it will greatly damage their own strength, after all, not all the local soldiers of Xiaoyaohai want to take refuge in Jinpeng Castle.

At this time, it was still dark, and Gu Shenwei issued an order, asking the whole army to assemble, and then lead people into the camp of the generals of the five countries.

Dozens of generals, including four princes, were woken up one by one and went out of their tents to meet the dragon king.

In fact, no one was sleeping, the burning of the arsenal was a big deal, the fire could be seen from afar, and the generals had either evil intentions or were afraid of getting into trouble, so they hid in their tents and listened to the sounds outside.

The generals gathered, and seeing that the dragon king's face was not good, no one dared to ask.

The retinue and personal soldiers in the camp, more than one hundred and twenty people, stood in a row separated from their masters, and Gu Shenwei walked in front of them, examined them one by one, and pointed out seven suspicious people.

gave outsiders the impression that the Dragon King seemed to be able to smell the smell of a traitor, but in fact, he had already sent someone to investigate secretly, and he had already confirmed it in his heart, but he didn't find that it might be Shangguan Jianyi's character.

He did not immediately make an accusation, but walked up to the generals again, and spoke for the first time after entering the camp, "King Dubu wants to turn Xiaoyaohai into the private domain of the Shangguan family, and I will give you independence. If you want to keep the status of the royal family, you have to pay a price, that is, to fight with me, and now, someone is secretly colluding with Jinpeng Castle to betray not only me, but also your own clan and country. Stand up, and I may spare you from death. ”

No one came forward, and although the Dragon King's designation of traitors from his retinue and personal soldiers was terrifying, they were still lucky.

Gu Shenwei waited for a while, waved his hand, and the hundreds of warriors behind him drew their swords together.

A general of Shiguo thought that the Dragon King was going to start a massacre, and hurriedly defended himself, "Dragon King, I am innocent, Prime Minister Zhong can prove that I have done a lot of effort when defending the city." ”

For a long time, even if the generals of the five countries were in conflict with each other, they considered themselves to be a whole, and compared to the foreign dragon kings and the army of the Great Snow Mountain, they were the true masters of the Joyful Sea.

Now, they are beginning to divide openly.

Gu Shenwei nodded, "The generals of the Shi Kingdom stand here. ”

The seven Shi Kingdom generals were relieved, ran to the left hand of the Dragon King in a few steps, and then looked sympathetically at their companions who remained in place.

Seeing this, the generals of the Sand Kingdom and the Huiguo also shouted, "Dragon King, I am loyal. "Dragon King, Prince Kang is a traitor, I have proof. "Dragon King, there is no good person in Anguo. ”

"Shut up!"

Someone finally stepped forward, he knew that he had no way out, not only would his companions testify, but the dragon king's gaze would always stay on his face.

Prince Kang stepped out of the crowd, "Since you must find out the traitor, arrest me, no one will believe me anyway." ”

"Good. Gu Shenwei said, pulling out the Wufeng Knife.

Prince Kang has always been angry with the Dragon King, and he became a traitor, which was expected by many people.

Prince Kang felt that the courage in his heart was showing signs of loss, and he needed to do something to motivate himself, but he couldn't look at the Dragon King, so he simply turned around and said to the generals of the Five Kingdoms: "Cowards, I saved your lives today, remember, this is the Sea of Freedom, the land owned by the five royal families for generations, whether it is the Dragon King or the Dubu King, the purpose is the same, whoever takes refuge is a dead end, find a way to save yourself." ”

"Hu, nonsense. There was only one lone retort among the dozens of generals, and the prince of Kang said what was on their minds, and when they attacked the stone country for King Dubu, they were half-hearted, and joining the army of the Great Snow Mountain was also against their will.

Everyone waited for the dragon king to swing a deadly sword.

Gu Shenwei didn't do it right away, he also had something to say.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is right. He didn't want to use rhetoric, but to wake up these people with cold facts, "King Dubu wants to destroy the Five Kingdoms, and in my eyes, Xiaoyaohai is just a base to gain a firm foothold. ”

Dozens of generals bowed their heads, although this was the case, but it was a serious humiliation to say it in public.

"It's not me, it's not King Dubu, it's your own. Gu Shenwei continued, and his words became more and more ruthless, "You have never proved that you are capable of defending the territory left by your ancestors, you just blindly perfunctory and retreating, God gave you the Easy Sea, but you took the initiative to give it to outsiders. I'm going to take away the Easy Sea, because if I don't, the Dubu King will be the first to do it. Because of your cowardice, the Sea of Freedom has become a borderless land, first come, first served. ”

"My family has ruled Kangguo for hundreds of years and has always been the master here. Only Prince Kang had the courage to refute.

"The master is desperately defending everything he has, have you done it?"

Prince Kang's face was flushed, "I didn't secretly collude with Jinpeng Castle, but I don't plan to take refuge in the Great Snow Mountain, you kill me, it's just a few days early, the Royal Family of the Sea is destined to be destroyed by you and King Dubu." ”

"Nothing is predestined. Gu Shenwei raised his knife, "You are not a traitor, I don't kill innocent people, they are." ”

The Dragon King pointed to the eight generals who were about to collapse, all of whom were from Anguo, south of the Xiaoyao Sea.

The eight of them knelt down at the same time and begged in unison, "The Dragon King spares his life." ”

"What about the people from Jinpeng Castle?" Gu Shenwei asked.

"He, he went into the city, and he never came back. One of the generals immediately confessed.

Gu Shenwei was shocked in his heart, what goal in the city is worth Shangguan Jianyi's personal trip, or is this an escape strategy?

"He went to kill General Dugu, for sure. Another Anguo general followed, although it was only a guess, but his tone was very positive.
