Chapter Seventy-Six: Preventing It
Zhou Jihuai said: "We have been secretly following this thief for several days, but he has not been able to catch him among the Tubo people. Last night they were camping in Bailuling, during which a few people wore night clothes and went out sneakily, but I was afraid that this was a trick of the thieves, so I didn't send anyone to follow, but just kept an eye on their team. Today, seeing that Gu's reputation is still in it, and he actually dares to come to the Heroes Conference to make trouble, thinking that he is a moth to a fire and killing himself, so he ordered the disciples in the rudder to secretly guard the intersections. β
After speaking, he saluted Lin Fengsheng and said, "I failed to come forward in time to meet the alliance leader, and I asked the alliance leader to forgive my sins." β
Lin Fengsheng hurriedly supported him and said, "Thanks to the heroes from all walks of life who did not abandon the little brother as the leader of the alliance, and only then did he dare to drive the seniors out of the needs of the situation, the little brother is already terrified. Brother must not do this again. β
Miao Le was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Fengsheng was now the leader of the Righteous Army, and he hurriedly struggled to get up and salute, and said: "The subordinates were attacked on the way, so it was too late, and the Miao Family Horse Gang listened to the leader of the alliance. β
Lin Fengsheng couldn't cry or laugh, and hugged his fists to everyone and said: "You guys can't afford this great gift, you can't afford it later." If Brother Miao is so polite, then the younger brother will have no choice but to resign as the leader of the alliance. β
Miao Le smiled and said: "Yes, yes, don't be annoyed, your subordinates will not be able to give big gifts in the future." β
Yu Sanbai said: "Feng Sheng, as the leader of the righteous army, is logically indispensable for etiquette, but since he doesn't like everyone to stick to clichΓ©s, then everyone will obey him and respect him, and there is no need to salute when they meet in the future." β
Lin Fengsheng said happily: "Not bad, that's it, otherwise I really won't do this alliance leader." β
Everyone saw that he was a leader of tens of thousands of heroes in Dali, but he was still a little childish, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Gong Mingxiao pulled Lin Fengsheng aside and said, "Alliance leader and nephew, do you say that the spies of this faction have already taken advantage of the chaos to escape?" He used to call Lin Fengsheng "Fengsheng Virtuous Nephew", but now that Lin Fengsheng is the leader of the Righteous Army, he has changed his name to "Alliance Leader and Nephew".
Lin Fengsheng was secretly amused, and said: "No, Uncle Gong, this person must have been colluding with the Tubo people for a long time, since even you didn't notice it in the slightest, it means that his city is very deep." It's not going to be so easy to show your feet. β
Gong Mingxiao nodded and said, "Let me find out who this little thief is, I have to pick his skin!"
Lin Fengsheng said: "Uncle Gong don't be impatient, as long as we act according to the plan, the spy will inevitably be exposed tonight." β
Immediately asked Zhou Jihuai to send beggars to help the disciples secretly guard the periphery of the Zhuang Courtyard, monitor the every move of the Cang sect disciples at the entry and exit points, and then invited Yu Sanbai, Kong Yuan, and Gong Mingxiao to stay in the dark room where the Tubo warriors were held for half an hour.
After a few people came out, they spread the word that according to the Tibetan warriors, there were their spies in a certain sect of the rebel army, and now they had found out who this person was, and they would immediately ask the teacher to ask for the guilt. Then he convened the heads and leaders of various gangs and factions to discuss the matter, and told the story of the secret incense of the ancient reputation last night and the fact that the Tibetan warriors were hiding explosives by the pool. When everyone heard this, they all scolded and threatened to cut the captured Tibetan warriors with a thousand knives.
Lin Fengsheng arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the thieves have set up tricks in a vain attempt to obstruct the plans of our righteous army, and their intentions are extremely vicious. The purpose of inviting all of you leaders here is to remind everyone to be vigilant in the future and guard against framing by foreign enemies and some traitors who betray the country and seek glory. Moreover, there is the internal response of the Tibetan people among us, and the top priority is to find out this person. He did not specify the sect of the spy in his words, so he naturally did not want Gong Mingxiao to be embarrassed in front of the heroes.
Everyone heard another burst of scolding, and some of the heads of each faction said: "Please ask the alliance leader, Yu Daxia, Master Kongyuan and the head of the Diancang faction Gong to preside over this matter. β
Some said: "I don't know who this traitor is, and which sect he belongs to? I just got rid of an ancient reputation, but another one came out, which really lost the face of our Dali martial artists!"
Some said: "The Tibetan people must have been instructed by the Mongol Tatars, and they will not stop there, I don't know how many despicable means have not been used, and we all need to think about this matter in the long run." β
Some also shouted: "Master Gong, since this incident happened in your faction's land, please give everyone an explanation." β
Gong Mingxiao's face was very ugly, and he lowered his head and said nothing. Yu Sanbai waved his hand to stop the commotion, and said: "Today's matter is really dangerous, but fortunately, the alliance leader wisely and timely insight into the thief's treacherous scheme, so that my righteous army escaped a catastrophe." The heart of the opponent is not dead, everyone should be careful in the future. As for who the spy is, we will find out until tonight, and we must not make any conclusions. He turned his head to Lin Fengsheng and said, "The investigation and punishment of the spies is still under the orders of the alliance leader." β
Lin Fengsheng got up and said: "I already know a little bit about who the spy is, but there is no real evidence, even if we arrest him at this moment, this person will definitely refuse to admit it." Everything is about convincing people with reason, and we only need to use a small strategy to make this person his true form. Then he gave a detailed account of his plan and commanded the people to do what he said.
In the afternoon, a feast was held in the courtyard to celebrate the formation of the rebels, and the heroes cheered and drank heartily. During the banquet, there was a lot of talk about how to find out the spy and deal with it strictly, and they all said that if this person confessed by himself, he could open the net, otherwise once he was found out, he would never be spared, and he would be executed by a thousand knives. Diancang sent everyone as the host to add wine and serve food, and they were very busy. Only one person lied that he was unwell and hid in his room worried.
This person's name is Jia Renlu, and he ranks second among the second generation of disciples of the Diancang Sect, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a white complexion, and he is very handsome. I saw him walking up and down the room, his face full of melancholy.
After a while, his frowning brows loosened slightly, and he immediately took a long sword and pinned it to his waist, and stretched out his hand to carry a burden on his shoulder, which must have been filled with gold and silver treasures. He pushed the door open and saw that there was no one around, so he dodged out, closed the door gently, and tiptoed to the backyard.
When I got to the backyard and climbed the courtyard wall to check, I saw groups of beggars sitting on the grass outside the wall, and I was shocked into a cold sweat and secretly said: "They must have noticed that these Tibetan people are also pus, and they were easily caught, I just hope they don't really confess to me." I'll have to find a way to get out quickly, the new leader of the alliance is young but as shrewd as a monkey, and if he waits for a while, he will definitely see through it. β
Then he quietly returned to the room, reached out and took out a small box from under the bed, in which was a small porcelain vase. Jia Renlu took the porcelain vase in his hand, smiled and said to himself: "I'll add some more condiments to your meal, you will have a good sleep after you have eaten and drunk enough, and I will have escaped far away when I wake up." It's not that easy to catch me. β
He took the small porcelain vase into his arms, pushed open the door, and swaggered towards the kitchen. Several disciples of the Diancang Sect were serving food in the kitchen, and when they saw Jia Renlu, they respectfully called "Second Senior Brother", and someone said, "Second Senior Brother, is your headache better?"
Jia Renlu said: "** I'm sick, Shicai has been lying in the room for a while, and I'm hungry to find something to eat." Someone said: "Then you can bring some food for yourself, we are still busy serving food to heroes from all walks of life." β
Jia Renlu said: "Okay, you are busy with yours." Is the dish ready?" and one said: "It's almost all together, and there is only one Cordyceps black chicken soup left." Master didn't send a few people to help, and he tired us like grandsons. β
At this time, a middle-aged man came in and said: "Senior brothers and sisters are sharper, hurry to the wine cellar to move wine after serving this dish, and the master and the alliance leader will serve their table first." Several people said in unison: "Yes, senior brother." The middle-aged man glanced at Jia Renlu, and also took two dishes and went out with a few disciples, this person was Lu Renfang, the eldest disciple of the Diancang Sect.
Jia Renlu picked up a large bowl and filled half a bowl of rice, scooped a large spoonful of Cordyceps black chicken soup, uncorked the bottle and poured the medicinal powder into the soup pot, stirred it a few times with a big spoon and said loudly: "Wow, this Cordyceps black chicken soup is so fragrant, it must be the handiwork of the eighth junior brother." During this period, the porcelain vase has been hidden in the sleeve, which can be said to be without revealing the slightest trace.
As soon as the words fell, the two people who had just served the food had already turned around, and one of them said: "The second senior brother is really knowledgeable, and the eighth senior brother makes Cordyceps black chicken soup, which is a must, this is a big supplement, you can also drink a few more bowls." Another said, "Yes, Cordyceps is an extremely valuable herb, and it may also help you with headaches." Second Senior Brother, you eat first, and a few of us will go to carry the wine first. β
Jia Renlu hurriedly stuffed the medicine bottle into the stove and said: "This cordyceps black chicken soup is the main dish, don't be busy serving the wine first, let's talk about this soup first, and don't neglect the heroes from all walks of life." When I have eaten, I will go to serve wine. β
One said: "The second senior brother is right, we are a bit of a cart before the horse, serve the soup first!" Several people called more than 20 senior brothers to come in to help, and then each served the soup.
