Chapter 126 Finding the Spy

It was breached several times during this period, but it was not because of the Seventy-two Tribes of the North Sea. After all, the Seventy-two Tribes of the North Sea have only appeared for tens of thousands of years. If Liang Bing had not deliberately condoned the seventy-two tribes, it would be unlikely for them to break through. In fact, the ancient human emperor built this pass mainly to resist the tide of ferocious beasts in the Northern Continent.

To the north of this pass is the North Sea Snowfield, and another 30 million miles further north is the Northern Continent, where humans cannot survive in the true sense, and only human-like barbarians and ferocious beasts can survive.

The coldness of Uttarakuru is comparable to that of the Arctic Purgatory. There are countless ferocious beasts living in it, as well as the barbarian tribe that looks more like beasts than humans.

These are the real terrifying objects that need to be defended against by Bingguan.

Because every tens of thousands of years, there would be too many ferocious beasts in the Northern Continent, so they would rush out from the north under the leadership of the Mang tribe and come to the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Of course, King Zhou had never seen such a thing. Even his father, grandfather, and even his eighteenth generation ancestors had never seen such a thing.

There was no way. The main reason was that ever since the civil war among the human race, the Heavenly Dao appeared and deprived the Human Emperor of the qualification to practice cultivation, thus making his life span the same as that of ordinary people. Those tens of thousands of years were really too long for ordinary people. It was so long that no one in the Yin clan, except Taizu Yin Qi, could see the invasion of the ferocious beasts from the Northern Juluzhou that occurred once every tens of thousands of years.

And although Yin Qi won that civil war among the human race and led the Shang tribe to defeat the then declining Xia Dynasty, which was the dynasty founded by Emperor Yu the Great, he was punished by Heaven and his descendants were no longer qualified to practice. He himself was also seriously injured in a life-and-death battle with Emperor Jie of Xia and died after surviving for more than a thousand years. At the same time, due to Yin Qi's death, there were no more true phoenixes between heaven and earth. Only the mixed-blood ones, such as Luan, Que, and Qingniao, remained. Strictly speaking, the bloodlines of the golden-winged Roc and the five-colored peacock are closer to the phoenix than those mixed-blood ones.

Oh, let’s get off track and not mention it again.

Li Qing and a group of divine guards spent half an hour, leisurely traveling a million miles, and then they saw the huge wall that looked like the Great Wall he had seen in his previous life, but it was a hundred times higher and hundreds of times longer!

Beibing Pass!

Li Qing's army came from the east and headed straight to the north. Naturally, they passed through Beibing Pass on the way, but it was Huang Feihu who made the handover, so the 30,000-strong army did not stop for a moment.

Today, Beibing Pass still looks heavily guarded, with the city walls full of soldiers.

"The Emperor has arrived! Where is General Liang, the commander-in-chief guarding Beibing Pass? Why don't you quickly open the gate to welcome him?"

There were still several miles between them when Zhang Kui took a step forward and arrived in front of Beibing Pass. The sound was like thunder, echoing for hundreds of miles.

“Squeak~.”

Following Zhang Kui's loud shout, the huge gate of Beibing Pass slowly opened, and then a group of people ran out. Half of them were wearing official uniforms, and the other half were wearing armor. They were obviously the civil and military officials of Beibing Pass.

But Li Qing did not see any Liang soldiers among this group of people.

Li Qing frowned. If his guess was correct, the Liang soldiers would have already escaped.

Sure enough, the group quickly ran to Li Qing and prostrated themselves before him. One of them shouted, "Your Majesty! Chen Xue, the deputy governor of Beibing Pass, and all the officials of Beibing Pass, come to see Your Majesty!"

"General of Beibing Pass, where are the Liang troops?"

Li Qing asked calmly with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty! Three days ago, when Your Majesty led the Liang soldiers to the North Sea Snow Plains to support Grand Tutor Wen, they suddenly disappeared when they passed through Beibing Pass and have not been seen since. I, your servant, do not know where they went."

Chen Xue is the deputy general of Beibing Pass and the head of the civil officials within a million miles of Beibing Pass. He can be regarded as a palace master, but his status is naturally not as good as the head of the military officials. As for the Liang soldiers who are the generals of the pass, he has no qualifications and no ability to manage the Liang soldiers. Naturally, he does not know where the Liang soldiers have gone or where they are.

So he also looked puzzled and replied loudly.

Li Qing understood after hearing this, but he still asked, "I want to ask you, has Beibingguan been collecting heavy taxes from the Snow Clan every year since they rebelled?"

"Well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xue immediately looked up and asked in confusion, "Isn't this your Majesty's order? In the past, taxes were collected every year and transported to Chaoge by Liang soldiers."

When Li Qing heard this, a surge of anger rose in his heart, but he couldn't vent it. He could only take a deep breath, loosen his clenched fists, and nodded calmly, "I understand."

After saying that, Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and began to carefully look at the dozens of officials below.

Although Liang Bing ran away, Li Qing didn't believe that he would not leave a backup plan inside Beibing Pass. Although Li Qing didn't know who the spy was, no matter who it was, as long as he was an official, he could not escape his eyes.

Just this one look.

I saw that most of these officials had a loyalty and favorability towards me, with some having a score of more than ten and some having a score of less. Although it was not much, it was still a positive number.

However, there were two people who, although they lowered their heads and looked terrified, their favorability towards themselves, the Human Emperor, was negative, and their loyalty was zero.

There is no loyalty at all!

Li Qing looked at the two men with a sneer in his eyes. He raised his hand and said, "Capture these two!"

"promise!"

As a diehard loyalist to Li Qing, Zhang Kui was already on the move the moment Li Qing uttered a word! Instantly transforming into a streak of light, he arrived at the two men Li Qing was pointing at. With a simple push of his hands, he used the strength of a second-level Daluo Jinxian to immobilize the two ordinary Jinxians!

At once, the two men shouted in fear, "Your Majesty! Why is this happening? Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

“Not guilty!?”

Li Qing sneered, "Do you think I don't know what you and the Liang soldiers have been up to? And you dare to act so pretentiously in front of me? Tell the truth now! Or you'll suffer physical pain!"

After hearing Li Qing's words, the two men's expressions suddenly changed. After looking at each other, they saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Obviously, very few people knew that the two were spies of Xiqi. It could even be said that only they and Liang Bing knew it. But now, why did the Human Emperor know it?

But now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything. Since the Human Emperor had clearly pointed out two people from among dozens of people, it meant that he had solid evidence. Therefore, one of the two men suddenly raised his head, roaring with a ferocious face: "Unrighteous Human Emperor! Heaven will take you away! Your death is approaching!"

"presumptuous!"

But before Li Qing could speak, Zhang Kui heard these outrageous words and his eyes turned red with anger. He suddenly roared and exerted force with his palms.

There was a sound like a watermelon bursting, and the man was crushed to pieces by Zhang Kui.

Li Qing watched coldly, without stopping or scolding Zhang Kui.

"Hahahaha! Stupid ruler! So what if you killed two of us? When my lord sends out his army, I will definitely destroy the Great Shang Dynasty! I will definitely destroy your Emperor! Hahahaha! Debauched and tyrannical ruler! Everyone has the right to kill you!"
