Chapter 726: Alarming the Snake (First update, please vote for me)
Zhenhaijun's camp is closely connected with the Red Army, and is connected by a gate. It forms a corner with the Jiushan Army, and together they form the core area of the rebel army.
Qi Zhengyan and others were arranged by Xu Wei in a camp close to the Red Army and the Jiushan Army, where they could see soldiers patrolling across each other - this was a new rule added after Du Huai was injured and dying, because the largest rebel armies had nothing to do with their companions. Trust, if you don't keep a close eye on each other, you will always worry about becoming someone else's prisoner.
The angry wind lanterns illuminated the passages between the camps, making them as bright as day, but in less important places, the chaotic rebels were not so meticulously arranged.
Jiang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the ground, with her knees resting on the long sword. Her eyes were half open and half closed, and her eyelashes seemed particularly long. She was sensing the surrounding area with the sword's heart, and everything was clear regardless of distance.
The matter of helping the Red Army investigate the spies who secretly communicated with the imperial court has been relayed by Meng Qi's clone, but they can't find a way to find out for the time being, so they can only wait and see what happens.
A spy will definitely stir up trouble, stir up dissension, collect intelligence, and naturally reveal flaws!
Ruan Yushu sat next to Jiang Zhiwei, with the ornately carved Seven Immortals Qin leaning on his lap, his right hand hanging down, ready to play the piano at any time. Zhao Heng paced back and forth, thinking about all the information Meng Qi had passed back.
Meng Qi's clone had no ability to adapt and stood in the corner slightly dull. Qi Zhengyan stood on the edge of the tent with his hands hanging naturally. His pupils were like a swamp, thick and deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiwei's eyes opened, and the long sword on his knee automatically popped out an inch. The sound of the sword's clang echoed in his heart. Qi Zhengyan also turned his head slightly and looked to the side of the tent.
"There are hostile people trying to get close." Jiang Zhiwei said to Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng, who were on heightened alert.
Qi Zhengyan added: "The enemy has keen senses. After discovering that we were aware, he quickly retreated into a dark corner and disappeared without a trace. It seems that he is very familiar with the camp."
After speaking, he muttered: "I'll go out and take a look."
His face was expressionless, and the emotion in his eyes was hidden.
"Brother Qi, be careful to step on the enemy's trap." Ruan Yushu reminded.
Jiang Zhiwei was a little uncomfortable with Qi Zhengyan being so proactive, and her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly: "Maybe the approach was intentional, to lure us, and the trap is somewhere else."
"The longer it takes, the more alienated the rebel armies will be. We must find the spies as soon as possible and stabilize the morale of the army. If the enemy was accidentally exposed just now, we must pursue it. If it is a trap, then we will alert the enemy and let them jump out on their own." In addition to describing the situation, Qi Zhengyan rarely said so much and analyzed the pros and cons.
Zhao Heng's face was heavy: "But if you alert someone, you can easily put yourself in danger. If you are not careful, you will be unable to defend yourself and be besieged by the rebels."
At this time, Meng Qi said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Qi has an unexpected encounter. He possesses many secret techniques and has a lot of control over them."
Meng Qi had given such a guarantee, and no matter how much doubt others had, they could only suppress it for the time being, and watched Qi Zhengyan open the tent and step out with speculation in his eyes.
"Sir, where are you going?" asked the soldier guarding outside.
"Easy to relieve oneself." Qi Zhengyan said casually, ignoring the soldiers' doubts about needing to relieve themselves due to the outdoor scene, and slowly walked towards the public cesspit that was a certain distance away from the camp, which was surrounded by a simple large tent.
No one wants to be seen in full view while urinating or relieving themselves. There are very few wind lamps here, especially the sides and back, which are even darker.
Qi Zhengyan seemed impatient with the smell inside and walked around to the darkness on the side.
Just as he stood still, a sword light suddenly lit up behind him. It was faster than a shooting star and went straight to Qi Zhengyan's Jade Pillow Point.
This sword connects the secret power of heaven and earth. It has no magic power and wins purely by speed.
Just as the sword light was rising, it suddenly paused, because Qi Zhengyan's left hand moved back, with an earthy color, like an iron pliers, clamping the long sword tightly. The timing was right and the force was precise, which made the assassin feel sad. I was stunned, I never thought that someone could take my sword like this.
The purple galaxy flowed quietly, rushing towards the assassin along the long sword, washing away his body and soul, and in just a short moment, it was already limp and turned into mud.
But the real killer move broke out at this moment. While Qi Zhengyan was dealing with the assassin behind him with all his strength, a black stream of light burst out from the cesspit tent in front, as if it flashed, and rushed towards Qi Zhengyan's eyebrows!
It was too late to say it, but it was almost there. Qi Zhengyan's face was still expressionless, his eyes suddenly turned dark, dark and full of evil.
The black stream of light suddenly stopped, suddenly fell to the ground, and turned into a black figure. His eyes were full of terror, as if he had fallen into the boundless hell, the terrifying nine ghosts. His spirit endured many unimaginable tortures. He put his hands on the ground and kept retreating. , looking at Qi Zhengyan like crazy!
With a crash, the tent was pulled down, revealing the condition inside. There was a corpse lying next to the cesspit. He was wearing a dark green robe with Nine Mountains embroidered on his chest. Judging from his appearance and the exuberance of flesh and blood, he was obviously quite powerful and had a high status in the Nine Mountains Army. Quite high!
Using assassination as bait to frame the blame!
Qi Zhengyan seemed to be able to imagine the next scene. The lights suddenly turned on, and the strong men of the Jiushan Army were led over, surrounded him, and accused him of being a spy!
His expression was indifferent, without any change in emotion. He only glanced at the corpse, his eyes still dark.
Just at this glance, the corpse was like soaked in poisonous water deep in the Nine Netherworld, instantly separated into the vitality between heaven and earth, merged into the sea, and left no trace!
"Catch the spy!" Just as the corpse disappeared, Qi Zhengyan heard loud shouts. The night suddenly brightened up, and the surroundings seemed like day. Strong men wearing Jiushan Army robes surrounded Qi Zhengyan. The leader was a soldier. A man with a beautiful mustache, wearing a battle armor, and a majestic appearance.
Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng rushed over to confront this group of people.
Qi Zhengyan pointed to the limp and crazy assassin on the ground with a paralyzed expression, and said calmly: "Spy."
"They are the young master's guards!" The man with a mustache said angrily, "You spy, hand over the young master quickly!"
"They are spies, you have to ask them." Qi Zhengyan did not feel nervous about being surrounded and interrogated.
At this time, the movement attracted the attention of the people in charge of the three camps. "Pinghai King" Zhu Shou, "Jiu Shanhou" Miao Hu, and "Ningnan Qilin" Hu Zhigao arrived one after another.
"What happened? You broke into Zhu's camp without permission!" Zhu Shou was tall and powerful, standing there with great pressure.
Miao Hu is a slightly stooped old man, but his qi and blood are so strong that he can interfere with the cloud qi without urging it. The crutch in his hand glows with a dark copper color.
His eyes were narrowed and his face was gloomy. He did not answer Zhu Shou's question and turned to look at his subordinates: "Liang Ye, what's going on?"
Liang Ye, a man with a moustache, was anxious and angry: "I was inspecting the camp in my humble position and found a dark shadow jumping out of the young master's tent. There was no one inside. I hurriedly chased him here. I only saw the spy and two guards, but no young master!"
"Cong'er?" Miao Hu's expression changed drastically. The wrist holding the staff split open on its own, spurting out blood. He connected the seal with his right hand, letting the blood show a faint glazed color, trying to find his son through the connection between the blood of gods and demons.
The blood fell to the ground and soaked into the soil. Miao Hu's eyes burst out with a look of madness: "Cong'er is dead! Did you kill him?"
He looked like he wanted to tear Qi Zhengyan into pieces.
Qi Zhengyan lied without changing his expression: "I only saw these two guards assassinating me, but not your son. I believe he was also killed by them."
"The incident happened suddenly. The young master's body must be nearby. Let's search it!" Liang Ye ordered his men.
Zhu Shou snorted: "You said Miao Cong is really dead when he is dead? How can Zhu believe that he will let you search the camp if he doesn't see his body?"
Jiang Zhiwei, Zhao Heng and Ruan Yushu all looked at Qi Zhengyan quietly, feeling a little strange to him like this.
At this moment, Qi Zhengyan suddenly spoke: "I had an unexpected encounter before me, and I learned a secret method. Even if there is no corpse, or the corpse has been deliberately destroyed and the soul has been eliminated, it can still evoke the obsession of the dead person before his death. In this way, we can know the true meaning of murderers and spies."
"Really?" Miao Hu's hands were exposed with veins.
Hu Zhigao watched calmly, knowing that the master and his colleagues were all extraordinary.
Qi Zhengyan nodded lightly: "I will use the secret method now."
"Hmph, who knows if what you summoned is the young master's obsession, or if you will tamper with it?" Liang Ye glared at Qi Zhengyan, looking unbelieving.
Qi Zhengyan didn't look at him at all: "They are connected by blood, Jiushan Hou can judge for himself."
"You have to try it!" Miao Hu urged Qi Zhengyan to take action quickly.
Qi Zhengyan's hands and fingers squirmed like blooming flowers, and the surrounding wind suddenly picked up and formed a whirlpool.
Suddenly, Liang Ye's eyes showed fear, and the breath in his body lost control and exploded suddenly!
Boom!
The air waves are rolling, and there is only time to protect yourself in the outdoor scenes!
When everything calmed down, many exterior scenes were in a mess. Qi Zhengyan's blue shirt was still the same as before, the Tianjing shirt was indeed extraordinary, and the two assassins on the ground also followed suit and blew themselves up!
"Liang Ye is a thief!" Miao Hu was furious.
Qi Zhengyan said solemnly: "He was just the perpetrator, not the instigator. He was silenced."
Miao Hu hurriedly said: "Sir, please quickly summon my son Zhuan Nian and ask for the real mastermind!"
"I lied to you." Qi Zhengyan glanced at him lightly.
"Huh?" Miao Hu, Zhu Shou and others were stunned.
"There is no secret method, it's just a trick to deceive the murderer." Qi Zhengyan said as if it was natural.
Jiang Zhiwei suppressed the strange feeling towards Qi Zhengyan and said through a message: "We just arrived today and were framed at night. Why is the messenger so afraid of us?"
…………
When dawn comes, patrols change defenses.
"Senluo Tianjun" Meng Qi led his men back to the camp and entered the gate. Without looking back, he followed the derivation of the Gu Insect Lord's position and walked directly to one side.
"Tianjun, where are you going?" one of his subordinates asked.
"Something's wrong." Meng Qi replied coldly.
I didn't have time to use the method of transforming the sky and striking the earth to check the memory of Senluo Tianjun. I didn't know where he lived or how he communicated with the people around him, so he cut the mess quickly and went straight to the Gu Insect Lord on the pretext that something was wrong.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is that once you succeed, you will be close to being exposed. With the imperial army's preparedness for the art of change, how to leave!
