Gu Shenwei had two pieces of information in front of him, which were provided by Zhong Heng and Xu Xiaoyi respectively, although there were some discrepancies in the details, but the suspicion of betrayal pointed to the same group of people.

A group of people, no less than fifty in total, all have a common trait that all have family members who have fled the Dragon-controlled Sea in the last few months.

Including the Dragon King, the vast majority of the team lacks experience in governing the country, Zhong Heng and Xu Xiaoyi have each created an independent intelligence network, but the main focus has always been on the trace of the Jinpeng killer and the direction of the people's hearts, although the main generals in the army have also placed eyeliners, the scope of monitoring has not been extended to their families.

The operation efficiency of the two systems is very high, and after receiving the secret order sent back by the Dragon King from the front line, it only takes four or five days to hand in a book of information one after the other, and it is divided into categories for the Dragon King to quickly browse.

Using the method of investigating the whereabouts of his family, Gu Shenwei narrowed down the scope of suspects, which is not a very accurate method, and the possibility of omissions and mistakes is very large, but there has finally been a little progress.

But the closest people around the Dragon King either have no family, or their family members are not in the sea, so they can only use the most clumsy method to investigate: observing words and colors.

Gu Shenwei summoned almost all of his early followers individually under various pretexts, but there was not much progress, and everyone had a reason to say betrayal, but everyone had a better chance of betrayal before, but they all withstood the test.

Now, Gu Shenwei is not concerned about them, he must choose to trust one group of people in order to deal with another group of people.

More than fifty betrayal suspects, several of whom are crucial to the Dragons' impact on the battle, must be identified immediately.

"I'm leaving. As soon as Gu Shen said this, Zhong Heng and Dugu Xian were all taken aback.

The war of the second line of defense is about to begin, and at this critical moment, the dragon king wants to abandon the army, which really makes the two feel incomprehensible.

Zhong Heng had just been ordered from the capital of Anguo to come to the front-line military camp, and he didn't know anything about the role he was going to play, and his city was deeper, so he just frowned and didn't speak immediately.

Dugu Xian immediately objected, "At this time, the army's heart is fluctuating, and the Dragon King must not leave." ”

"I believe that General Dugu will be able to stabilize the morale of the army. "Still like that, surrounded by betrayal, Gu Shenwei must choose to trust certain people.

"However......" Duguxian has always been conservative, always preparing for the worst, and is very skeptical of his ability to stabilize the morale of the army.

Gu Shenwei raised his hand to stop General Zuo's persuasion, saying that he had made up his mind, and he knew the reason, and there was no need to waste time, "During the time I left, General Dugu was fully responsible for military affairs, and my direct army and other affairs were entrusted to Prime Minister Zhong Cheng." ”

Zhong Heng bowed down, understanding that his role was not only the agent of the Dragon King, but also the balancer of Dugu Envy.

Dugu Xian could only accept the Dragon King's arrangement, and now he only cared about one question, "Is everything going according to plan?"

"Yes, I will show up on time. ”

According to the plan, the dragon army still will not fight the Jinpeng army in the second line of defense, but try to delay as much time, and then retreat to the third line of defense, and start a decisive battle in the selected location, the victory or defeat depends on whether the surprise soldiers on the flank can appear in time.

Gu Shenwei wanted to take over the army of Tonanya himself, because in the list of betrayal suspects, several people were related to that army.

Gu Shenwei quickly overturned this speculation, because Shangguan Yun's bribery had already started a few months ago, and intelligence showed that the suspect's relatives also left Xiaoyaohai at that time, and the surprise attack plan did not even have a shadow at that time.

In any case, the army of Toenya has become indispensable now, and the betrayers there are far more destructive than those who remain in the army.

As for the other suspects, Zhong Heng also has a list in his hand, and he will focus on surveillance.

The dragon king suddenly left the front line, and the public name was to return to the capital of Anguo, but rumors said that he was going to the north bank, and some people said that he wanted to escape back to the country of Xiangji, which caused a great commotion in the military camp.

Dugu Xian tried his best to appease the army, except for official news, he never mentioned the Dragon King, just walked around the military camp and asked about every detail, because he had already decided to have a second battle with the Jinpeng Army tomorrow.

Originally, this was just a blocking battle to delay time, but Dugu Xian changed his mind and planned to fight a tough battle to show his strength, so he even urgently transferred more troops from the rear.

In terms of stabilizing the morale of the army, victory is of equal value to the Dragon King.

Many people thought that the Dragon King crossed the sea to the north shore because someone saw Chu Nanping take a small boat with their own eyes.

In fact, the person in charge of guarding Chu Nanping these days has been replaced by the right general Shang Liao, but many people don't know it.

It was Shang Liao who was on the same boat as Chu Nanping, and the two of them had a real mission to go to the north shore.

The Jin Peng army had almost given up its surface forces, and Shang Liao's warships were almost useless except to serve as a guard, and he planned to fulfill his agreement with the Dragon King to form another army.

Unlike Shangguan Fei and Long Chuanyun, these two people are much quieter, Shang Liao needs Chu Nanping's protection, but he also understands that this young man is the watchman arranged by the Dragon King to be by his side.

After going ashore, the two went to the capital of Huiguo, where almost all the royal families are now concentrated, including the people Shang Liao was looking for.

Shang Liao was more careful than Shangguan Fei, and after arriving at the agreed place, someone immediately provided horses and the uniforms of the Jinpeng Army, and the two changed into disguises and arrived at Huicheng smoothly all the way without encountering any obstacles.

Before entering the city, the two of them felt that the atmosphere was abnormal.

The soldiers of the brigade hurried away, and one officer even scolded Shang Liao and Chu Nanping, ordering them to return to their own team immediately, "It's about to be a battle, you still dare to hang out?"

The people on the street were affected, and their walking speed increased significantly, and they all lowered their heads, as if they were preoccupied.

While the two were still on the boat, the second battle between the Dragon Army and the Jinpeng Army had ended.

The Jinpeng Army is still the victor, at least it shows that this is the case, the Dragon Army was forced to abandon the second line of defense and continue to retreat, but the battle process was unexpectedly difficult, and the price paid by the Jinpeng Army was far beyond everyone's imagination.

With nearly 10,000 casualties, Shangguan Jianyi thought that the real decisive battle would take place on the last line of defense of the Dragon Army, but he didn't expect to face Dugu Xian's desperate counterattack, he had to admit that he had made a mistake, and he was a little caught off guard without going all out to prepare for the war.

But instead of withdrawing his troops, he gave the order to fight to the death, and it was this order that brought disastrous results.

Shang Liao and Chu Nanping soon heard everyone's discussion in the city, and even the soldiers thought that the method of the wing commander was to fight for victory with human lives, anyway, there were many soldiers in the Jinpeng Army, and if they died 10,000 people, they could still occupy an absolute advantage, and at the same time, the Dragon Army also had casualties, even if it was two lives for one life, it was a profitable deal.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Jinpeng Army are still confident in the final victory, but they are not so confident in their own lives.

Shang Liao was very happy, and even took the initiative to speak to Chu Nanping, "Great, I just need such an atmosphere." ”

Shang Liao met with one of his cousins, although the Jinpeng Castle and the Dragon King were at war, and the royal family of the Five Kingdoms of Xiaoyao Sea was divided into two factions, the north and the south, but the connection between them was never broken, from the perspective of the family, both sides were working for their own interests, and there were always some people who could share the fruits of victory.

It is for this reason that Shang Liao is almost unwary of his cousin, and he ignores an important issue, he is no longer an ordinary royal child, but the King of Xinkang canonized by the Dragon King.

Due to the secret conversation, he decided to go alone and asked Chu Nanping to stay in the rented inn.

Shang Liao had some misunderstandings about Chu Nanping, and the young swordsman had never thought of spying on his words and deeds.

Chu Nanping only had one thing in his heart - practicing swords, and other than that, everything was indispensable, he didn't care how high General Zuo's status was, let alone who this person was going to be loyal to.

Not long after Shang Liao left, Chu Nanping found himself surrounded.

Chu Nanping went through a simple disguise, and the people who surrounded him were too, but the methods were too clumsy, a group of young and middle-aged men, who were actually wearing ordinary people's clothes, forgot that the entire Xiaoyaohai could pick up weapons had been conscripted into the army.

Although the few months of killer training had little impact on Chu Nanping, it did change some of his thinking habits, such as this time, in the face of the encirclement, he did not choose to draw his sword and face each other, but pretended not to be aware of it, and escaped through the window after returning to the room.

Walking on the street, Chu Nanping thought to himself, among these people, there must be no Jinpeng killer.

Although he is simple-minded, he is not stupid at all, the royal families of all countries are like prisoners, they are concentrated in the same place, and Shang Liao naturally goes there to talk about things.

After nightfall that day, Chu Nanping sneaked into the palace, his idea was very simple, the Dragon King asked him to protect Shang Liao, and if he killed this person when necessary, he would strictly enforce it.

The palace is now inhabited by four kings, Hui, An, Sha and Kang, and is extremely well guarded.

Chu Nanping was once locked in the underground secret room of the palace, knowing that it was the place where people were closed, so the first place he went to was the Hou Palace, but the entrance to the secret room no longer existed, and the original queen's palace has now been razed to the ground and transplanted with flowers and plants.

Chu Nanping was not discouraged, he cautiously sneaked in the dark, anyway, the palace was not particularly big, it took a few days to find someone, and he never lacked patience.

He ran into an uninvited guest in the middle of the night, and both sides tried to avoid the dense guards, so they chose the same route.

It was too late to draw the sword, Chu Nanping slapped it casually, and then couldn't help but sigh, the other party seemed to have learned the Wudao magic skill.

A whispered inquiry came from behind the man, "Xiao Chu?"

"Hmm. ”

It was Shangguan Fei and Long Chuanyun, the two finally managed to escape from house arrest, and ran into acquaintances before they left the palace.

There was no way to speak here, and the three of them left the palace, and Shangguan Fei asked happily, "Did the Dragon King send you to save us?"

"No, I'm here for someone. ”

"Oh. Shangguan Fei was a little disappointed, "There is a traitor around the Dragon King, we have to go back and tell him quickly." ”

"The dragon king is out and doesn't know where to go. ”

"Ah, he won't go into Ossan, then he will be fooled. ”
