Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and said calmly: "I have never heard of such a weapon."
"Second brother, not to mention that Long Rui's army is far better equipped than us, but with this weapon, we are no match for them." Zhou Hongji sighed: "Fourth brother said it very clearly, that weapon is like a thunder from the sky, and even
The ground can crack. If they attack Montenegro and use such weapons, many important strongholds can be completely destroyed by their weapons, and Montenegro will be in catastrophe."
Xuanyuan Chong said solemnly: "Last time, I was ambushed by Long Rui's army and many brothers were killed and injured by those weird weapons. I asked carefully afterwards. If the judgment is correct, those weapons were not controlled by humans, but were buried underground. Why are they?
It will attack on its own. After thinking about it over and over again, I probably figured out what was wrong with it."
"oh?"
"When our army entered the military camp, the sky thunder did not attack. However, after setting fire to the camp, there were thunders all over the camp. So if I am not wrong, those sky thunders were able to attack only because of the intensity of the fire.
"Get up." Xuanyuan said seriously: "So they are not really able to attack on their own, but they burst into flames after being burned."
Zhou Hongji smiled calmly and said: "A group of us can't figure out the strangeness, but the second brother can explain it clearly. He is really much smarter than us."
Xuanyuan Chong was startled, but still said: "I don't dare. Brother, since thunder did not fall from the sky like bows and arrows that day, it needed to be dug and buried in advance, and it also had to be ignited, so we can take precautions. Strengthen the fortifications at each stronghold and increase the number of archers.
, the officers and soldiers attacked and killed them, but they couldn't get close."
"If the officers and soldiers come to attack, the brothers will naturally resist with all their might." Du Zitong sneered, "I'm afraid that someone will stab me in the back, and then it will be impossible to guard against it."
Xuanyuan Chong frowned, but he still said calmly: "Where do you start talking about this, fourth brother?"
Du Zitong stood up suddenly, took out a letter from his arms, raised his hand and shook it, and said: "Everyone knows that the mountain has strengthened its defenses in recent days. In order for local officers and soldiers to make sneak attacks at night, according to the instructions of the head of the family, more troops have been deployed at the foot of the mountain.
Secret sentry. Last night, the sentry brothers noticed someone coming down the mountain and wanted to investigate. However, when the man saw the sentry, he immediately ran away. After being caught up, he even resisted with a knife. The several sentry brothers had no choice but to kill him.
Hack and kill.”
Xuanyuan Chong suddenly realized something and his pupils contracted.
"Someone sneaked down the mountain in the middle of the night and resisted desperately. This is wrong." Du Zitong glanced at Xuanyuan Chong and sneered: "So the brothers found this letter on him." He handed it to Zhou Yuanbao.
Zhou Yuanbao didn't take it, or even look at it.
Du Zitong was a little embarrassed and left it to Xuanyuan Chong, which was very rude.
Xuanyuan Chong hesitated, picked it up from the table, took out the letter, glanced at it, frowned, and asked: "Who asked to send this letter down the mountain?"
"Second brother, tell me, what is the purpose of sending this letter in the middle of the night?" Du Zitong stared at Xuanyuan Chong and sneered: "You are very smart, help us think about the reason."
Xuanyuan Chong looked at Zhou Hongji, but saw that Zhou Hongji was looking at his nose and heart, calm and composed, and did not look at him.
"This is the topographic map of Montenegro." Xuanyuan Chong was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I am not sure of the purpose of sending this map down the mountain, but if it is obtained by the army, the consequences will be disastrous."
Stomachache smiled and said: "Second brother really hit the nail on the head. The messenger went down the mountain, but was discovered by the secret whistle, so he resisted desperately. It can be seen from this that the messenger did not want the secret whistle to discover that he had this picture on his body. Second brother, I am right.
wrong?"
Xuanyuan Chong nodded.
"From this point of view, does it prove that the messenger has an ulterior motive for going down the mountain this time?" Du Zitong said proudly: "In other words, this picture is exactly what is going to be sent to the army." He glanced at Shen Xuangan.
He glanced at it and said: "Third brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Shen Xuangan remained calm and collected from beginning to end, and at this moment he just nodded slightly.
"That's no problem." Du Zitong said: "Last time I led troops to attack the military camp at night, but we were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. My eldest brother and I both guessed that there must be an insider in this mountain, and the plan to send troops was leaked in advance.
Gave it to Long Ruijun. Brothers, there is a mole in the mountain, how can we deal with it? If we can't find the mole, we will all be in great trouble."
Xuanyuan Chong looked solemn and said nothing.
"Brother knows that this matter is not trivial. He trusts all the brothers on the mountain, so without conclusive evidence, he will never easily determine who is the mole." Du Zitong said slowly: "But this time we finally caught conclusive evidence, so this picture
Whoever sent people to send the map down the mountain also proves who is the mole."
The two leaders who didn't know the truth looked at each other in confusion.
"Second brother, I didn't know that your Huangtu Village is short of people?" Du Zitong finally pointed the finger at Xuanyuan Chong.
Xuanyuan Chong sighed when he saw everyone looking at him, but he still nodded and said: "My subordinate Pi Chun suddenly disappeared last night and there is no trace."
Du Zitong said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone, bring it up!"
Immediately from outside, two gangsters carried a stretcher into the Juyi Hall. They put down the stretcher. Everyone stood up and looked over. They saw that the stretcher was covered with a white cloth. Du Zitong and Zhou Hongji looked at each other before walking over and carrying the stretcher.
His hand lifted the white cloth, and a body was lying on the stretcher.
"Does the second brother know this person?"
Of course Xuanyuan Chong knew him. He walked over, knelt down, then looked up at Du Zitong, and said coldly: "Is this the messenger you are talking about?"
"That's right." Du Zitong was confident: "That's him. This map was found from him."
Many people are furious.
Zhou Hongji finally sighed and said: "Xuanyuan Chong, you have been on the mountain for six years, have I ever neglected you in these six years? I have handed over the military power of Montenegro to you, I have great trust in you, and I have always regarded you as my own.
Brother, why do you treat me like this?" He raised his finger and pointed at everyone present: "These are good brothers who followed you and sacrificed their blood. Why did you betray everyone for your own selfish desires? Why did you go to this point?"
Zhou Yuanbao obviously didn't know that such an incident would happen beforehand. He looked shocked and said in a deep voice: "Father, my second brother is definitely not such a person. There must be a misunderstanding here."
"Yuanbao, I know you don't believe it, but am I willing to believe it?" Zhou Hongji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If there was no conclusive evidence, I would not believe that he would betray Montenegro anyway." He paused and stared.
Xuanyuan rushed and said: "If you want to be recruited, you can discuss it slowly with us. I don't want to be recruited, not because I want to stop everyone, but because I can't trust the officers and soldiers, or even the court. Second brother, if you are accepted, I will leave the mountain.
, accept the recruitment of the army, and once they fall out, it will be too late to regret it. Black Mountain is the most powerful rebel army in the four northeastern counties. If the army kills us, it can scare heroes from all walks of life. Don’t you understand the truth of this?
.”
Xuanyuan Chong slowly walked to the table, sat down, looked around everyone, and said: "Brother, brothers, if I say that the ghost inside is not me, you will definitely not believe it. Xuanyuan Chong has been defecting to Heishan for six years. He has tried his best to ask everyone
We are all regarded as flesh and blood brothers, and I have never been sorry to you." He looked at Zhou Hongji and said calmly: "Brother, Pi Chun is indeed from Huangtu Village, and he is usually honest and down-to-earth. I don't know why he would do this.
But this map was not made by me."
Du Zitong sneered and said: "Xuanyuan Chong, do you think we are stupid? We are still arguing. If you were a man, you would dare to do it."
"Brother, we are brothers. If you really think that I can do such a thing, I have nothing to say." Xuanyuan said lightly: "I owe you a life, and you can take it away at any time.
"
Zhou Yuanbao said in a deep voice: "Second brother, if you are wronged, you dare to find out the matter. Is Pi Chun sent by you? If not, we must re-investigate and rescue the ghost behind Pi Chun."
He said to Zhou Hongji: "Father, we must not make a decision easily at this time. We must investigate in detail. Pi Chun is a dead man, and a dead man cannot speak. Although he is from Huangtu Village, it does not prove that he must be sent by his second brother.
, maybe there is someone else behind it."
"Yuanbao, are you confused?" Du Zitong asked angrily: "The evidence is irrefutable, but you are still speaking for him? He is the head of Huangtu Village, and he brought all the people in Huangtu Village to the mountain. Could it be that Pi Chun would collude?
Others are plotting to kill their own leader? I know you have a good personal relationship with him, but this is related to the survival of Montenegro, can you be more sober?"
Zhou Hongji sighed: "Xuanyuan Chong, I really want to believe you, but the evidence is irrefutable. If I can't clean up the inner ghost, how can I convince the other brothers?" He suddenly shouted: "Come here!"
More than a dozen swordsmen and axemen immediately rushed out from the corridors on both sides and surrounded Xuanyuan Chong.
Xuanyuan Chong shook his head, gave a wry smile, and stood up. Before he could speak, his feet gave way and he fell to the ground. Many people present were shocked, but Zhou Hongji remained calm and composed.
Xuanyuan Chong struggled to sit up, looked at the wine jar on the table, and sighed: "Brother, why did you poison the wine? If you want to kill me, I will never resist."
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at the wine jar in front of them.
"Don't worry." When Du Zitong saw this, he immediately said: "Xuanyuan Chong is very ferocious. To prevent him from getting angry and hurting others, I put cartilage powder in his wine. You don't have to think too much."
Zhou Yuanbao sneered and said: "Such a method is really...!" In the end, he did not say anything. He stood up and went to help Xuanyuan Chong up. Zhou Hongji had already said coldly: "Yuanbao, step back!"
Zhou Yuanbao was startled, and looked at Zhou Hongji, only to see the headmaster's expression was cold and stern, and his eyes were looking at him like blades. He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Father, my second brother is the pillar of Black Mountain. If you are deceived by others,
, Destroy your own arms, sooner or later you will regret it again." Without further words, he walked away without looking back.
