When Xu Zun saw the tall foreign girl with braided hair and an iron umbrella in her hand, he immediately went up and pinched her arm in surprise and joy.
"Sir...sir..." Huo Anu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Anu failed to guard the entrance of the cave and you were frightened!"
Only then did Xu Zun realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly retracted his hands and observed his surroundings.
But in front of him, besides Huo Anu, Hou Zhen, Li Xing and several other guards were there, and even the injured Ashuzai rushed over.
Everyone's clothes were torn, they were covered in mud, and they were in an extremely miserable state.
Scaffolding was erected above the entrance of the cave, and various moving tools were scattered around, as well as huge rocks moved out of the cave. It was obvious that they were also working hard to clean the entrance.
Seeing this, Xu Zun couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
But as soon as I was moved, my eyes saw a bloody scene, and I saw corpses everywhere in the secret room!
There were our own people who had guarded the entrance of the cave before, and there were also many men in black. The corpses were so tragic that it showed that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Soon, Ani, Ku Niang and the people from the Shenqiu Division also climbed out of the entrance one after another.
After seeing the light of day again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, due to a night of physical labor, even though the scene was tragic, everyone still collapsed on the spot, gasping for breath...
"Anu," Xu Zun asked quickly, "what happened?"
“We were guarding the entrance to the cave last night,” Huo Anu said, pointing to the body of the man in black, “but we were suddenly attacked by a group of men in black!
"Although there are not many of them, they all possess unique skills. We are unable to stop them at all, and many of our colleagues died tragically at their hands.
"Although Hou Zhen and I fought hard, we couldn't hold on to the entrance of the cave.
"At the critical moment," Huo Anu said, "it was the Eastern Divine Captor who persuaded me not to fight, but to rush out and report the news, otherwise you will never come out!
"So, she risked her life to block the enemy, and Hou Zhen and I were able to escape... At that time..."
Before Huo Anu finished speaking, Xu Zun quickly scanned the many corpses and asked worriedly: "What about the Eastern God arresting people?"
"Oh... it's very strange," Huo Anu pointed outside, "When we brought people back, we found that the Eastern Divine Captor was still alive, and he has been sent to the Internal Guard Mansion for diagnosis and treatment..."
ah?
Xu Zun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Dongfang Enchanting had taken the opportunity to escape.
"Sir," Huo Anu saw Xu Zun's thoughts, "The Eastern Divine Catcher was already injured, but this injury is even more serious. She..."
"Impossible!" Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Dongfang Yaorao is definitely a traitor. If she hadn't suggested coming to General Daye Temple, we wouldn't have been attacked by others!"
"But, sir...the Eastern God is hunting her down..."
"You don't have to excuse her," Xu Zun said loudly, "After she covered you and rushed out, she was not killed by the enemy. This is the best proof.
"You shouldn't have let her out of our sight just now. After following me for so long, why can't you even understand this?"
"This..." Although Huo Anu had doubts, he still clasped his fists and admitted his mistake, "This is dereliction of duty."
"Sir," Hou Zhen couldn't help but remind him, "the enemy deliberately didn't kill her, could it be..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now," Xu Zun deliberately changed the subject, waved to everyone and said, "You guys come with me here, I want to assign tasks to you."
While speaking, Xu Zun pointed at several personal guards including Huo Anu and Hou Zhen.
"According to my inference, the catastrophe of the Xuanmen rebels is about to start," Xu Zun said, "and I already know what they want to do! Hurry, we must seize the time, everyone come here!"
After hearing Xu Zun's words, Huo Anu and others did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed Xu Zun into the next room.
It was a small room on the inside. The roof was gone, but the door was still there and could be closed.
After a few people followed and closed the door, they heard Xu Zun saying anxiously inside:
"Do you still remember the last large-scale assassination incident? They all happened at noon. Now...oh, let me go..." Xu Zun asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's three o'clock." Hou Zhen replied.
"Ah?" Xu Zun was shocked, "We have stayed underground for so long. In other words, we don't even have an hour left. We must act immediately..."
As a result, just as Xu Zun finished speaking, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the tip of a sharp sword suddenly pierced the door, with blood still stained on the tip!
ah!?
Huo Anu and others were shocked and immediately raised their weapons and prepared for battle.
At the same moment, a painful cry came from outside.
The next second, with a bang, the door burst, and a man slammed the door in, falling heavily to the ground.
When everyone took a look, they saw that the person lying on the ground was an agent from the Detective Division. This man had a sword on his shoulder and blood coming from the corner of his mouth. He had obviously been thrown in by someone's kick.
Looking outside the door, a woman holding a sword walked in. It was Timur Ani.
"Sir," Ani pointed at the police officer on the ground, "You are indeed right, this guy is the real traitor!"
ah?
After Ani said this, Huo Anu and others realized that what Xu Zun said about Dongfang Enchanting just now was just acting.
"Sir... Your Majesty... I'm unjust... Oh..." the policeman defended while covering his wound, "I'm not a traitor!"
"You still dare to quibble?" Ani shouted, "After a night of digging, everyone is exhausted, but you are the only one who still has the energy to lie at the door and eavesdrop!"
"I..." the person argued, "I'm just close to the door, how could you..."
"Ani," Xu Zun ordered, "without further ado, don't talk nonsense to him. Let's cut off the hands and feet first, then the nose and ears, and finally blind the eyes..."
"ah!!?"
When he was shocked, the man immediately took out a pill from his tie and tried to commit suicide by taking poison...
Uh-huh...
Ani had been prepared for a long time. With one strike of the sword, the man's left hand and the pills in his hand flew out, and blood spurted out.
ah……
The man was wailing in pain, but Ani stepped on his back and asked, "Have you finally revealed your secret? Mr. Xu has a sharp eye and has long realized that you are not authentic!"
Indeed, when he was trapped underground, Xu Zun had already thought that there might be a traitor among the police.
The traitor knew very well that being trapped underground was only temporary, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.
But because of this, his working state must be different from other people's.
Although everyone knew that they would be able to go out sooner or later, everyone wanted to go out as early as possible, so they worked extremely hard.
But this guy looks hardworking on the surface, but he is actually a standard grinder, and his micro-expressions are also very different from others.
So, Xu Zuncai and Ani decided to deceive him, but they didn't expect that the deception would lead to problems.
"Quickly," Xu Zun pointed at his collar and ordered Hou Zhen, "quickly check all the people outside!"
Since this person hid poison in his collar, if anyone else is found carrying poison, it must be a Taoist spy.
"Tell me," Xu Zun came to this person and asked, "What action are you going to launch and when will it be launched?"
"No...I don't know, I really don't know this! Ah..."
This person only said a few words and then was pierced through the shoulder by Ani's sharp sword again.
Due to Ani's precise swordsmanship, she actually stabbed the same wound twice.
"Even if you scratched me alive, I wouldn't know. I'm just a small supporter," the detective hurriedly defended, "I'm just responsible for reporting the movements of the Detective Division."
"Who are these people?" Xu Zun asked, pointing to the corpses on the ground, "How did you send the message to them?"
"They are all from Xuanmen," the detective replied. "After I get the order, I will put the information into a bamboo tube and then throw it into the backyard of the wonton shop near Shenhuasi."
"oh?"
Xu Zun and others looked at each other, and Asiu Zai understood. He immediately went out and ordered the internal guards to go to the wonton shop to arrest people.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that since the disaster was imminent, the wonton shop would probably be empty.
At this time, Hou Zhen came in and reported: "Sir, everyone has been checked and there are no problems."
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun immediately asked the detective, "does your special agent have any other traitors? Especially that Oriental Enchanting one?"
"This...I don't know," the police officer replied, "My superiors and I have only one line of communication, so I don't know if there are any accomplices!"
"Then why do you want to join Xuanmen, or...have you always been trained by them?" Xu Zun asked again.
"I...I was caught by them because I had something to do with it," the agent said with shame, "I only joined them as a last resort. Otherwise, not only would I not be able to be an agent, I would even have to go to jail!"
"I'll ask you again," Xu Zun asked solemnly, "If you can provide important information, I can keep you safe, but if you can't, then you know what will happen!
"Xuanmen, what exactly are you planning in the Holy Capital?"
"Sir, I really don't know about this," the detective replied angrily, "I eavesdropped on your conversation just now, and I just thought if I could hear some latest news, I could report it to them.
"As long as you report a piece of news, you can get generous rewards... So, I just passed the news to them, but I don't know any information about them..."
