"Catch the traitor?"
Zhao Tieshan and Lu Qingshan looked at each other again, both with surprise in their eyes.
They naturally also knew that there was indeed a traitor from the Chiyang Divine Kingdom in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and that he was of a high status and could even know their battle plans.
If not for this, the previous battle would not have been fought so passively, and Ye Chen would not have been discovered by the Marquis of Zhenbei as soon as he entered the Kingdom of the Fiery Sun.
"Mr. Ye Chen has a solution?"
Lu Qingshan asked anxiously.
As the general who conquered the south, he naturally hated traitors.
Ye Chen looked at Zhao Tieshan and asked, "Which position do you think the traitor is most likely to be in?"
"Of course he's a guest official."
Zhao Tieshan answered directly.
Generally, guests are monks from the divine realm who are wandering in the upper realm. As for why they are wandering and why they have no home, naturally everyone has their own secrets, and these pasts are not glorious things.
In order to recruit more powerful people to strengthen its strength, the General's Mansion generally does not delve into their past.
Most of these people choose to become guest officials just as a stopgap measure, so they have no sense of belonging to the organization they are in now.
The exchange between the two can be seen as a pure exchange of interests.
Therefore, the position of guest official is naturally the most likely to have traitors.
Some people were even originally planted by the enemy country. Their purpose was to lie in wait and attack their employers at a critical moment.
Ye Chen naturally thought so too, and immediately asked: "Then who do you think is the most suspicious among the three guests in the general's mansion?"
Zhao Tieshan was silent for a moment, then said, "If I were to say who is the least likely, I think it would be Elder Xu. After all, Elder Xu is the oldest and has been in the General's Mansion the longest. He has been diligent and conscientious over the years and has never done anything out of the ordinary.
As for the remaining two... Duan Min and Gong Fan, they have only been in the General's Mansion for a short time, so the traitor is most likely one of them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingfeng said, "That doesn't completely rule out the possibility that Lao Xu is a traitor. After all, the longer a hidden agent lies dormant, the more powerful he will be once he is activated. There are precedents like this in the Seven Kingdoms.
Don't you remember? Just a few years ago, before the Black Ice Emperor disappeared, the epic war between the Aoki Divine Kingdom and the Netherworld Divine Kingdom erupted. The Netherworld Divine Kingdom activated a hidden weapon that had been lurking at the heart of the Aoki Divine Kingdom for centuries, nearly leading to its utter destruction. If it weren't for the Eclipse Moon Divine Kingdom's intervention, there wouldn't be seven Divine Kingdoms in the Upper Realm right now, but only six.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tieshan frowned and fell into deep thought.
If that's true, it would be terrible.
Being backstabbed by the person you trust the most is the most devastating.
Seeing that the two were silent, Ye Chen finally spoke: "I have a way to identify which of these three people is the traitor sent by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me as soon as possible!" Zhao Tieshan was delighted and asked anxiously.
…
"Pass on my order. All the powerful gods around Beiyun City must assemble immediately and stop Ye Chen here. Don't let him escape before I arrive!"
After a while.
Inside the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis of Zhenbei suddenly stood up and gave orders quickly in excitement.
Then, he looked at another messenger and said, "Notify Generals Yan Jing and Sheng Songde to rush to Beiyun City immediately. This time, I will shut down the gates and beat the dog. I will capture that little bastard alive and torture him to a point where he would rather die than live!"
Just after the two messengers had left, Fang Rui hurried over and said excitedly, "Father, I heard that the insider has reported back Ye Chen's latest movements?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was in a good mood, and nodded with a faint smile, saying, "That's right, this boy has conquered two of our important towns before, and this time he has set his sights on Beiyun City. He is so arrogant and greedy!
I just received a tip from Dark Fire that this guy has already crossed the Xueyin Mountains and is secretly approaching Beiyun City. As a father, I'm going to use a trick on him. This time, I can finally vent my anger!"
"I want to go with you to catch him!" Fang Rui said excitedly.
The Marquis of Zhenbei patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go together, father and son, and capture this thief!"
He had already made up his mind that when the time came, he would first severely injure Ye Chen, and then let his son Fang Rui capture him personally.
While catching Ye Chen, Fang Rui can also regain his confidence, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Immediately, the Marquis of Zhenbei waved his hand, and he and Fang Rui disappeared from the hall.
When Zhenbei Hou and Fang Rui arrived near Beiyun City, two generals who had heard the news and rushed over immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
Sheng Songde and Yan Jing bowed.
Zhenbei Hou asked in a deep voice: "Where is Ye Chen?"
Sheng Songde frowned and said, "I was just about to ask the Marquis this question..."
"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on the face of Zhenbei Hou.
"My lord, are you sure that Ye Chen came to attack Beiyun City? But the scouts I sent out earlier didn't find even a hair of Ye Chen." Yan Jing asked in confusion.
"impossible!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei had a gloomy face and scolded, "It must be that the scouts you sent out were incompetent!"
Yan Jing said aggrievedly, "My Lord, I have already sent out all of General Sheng Songde and I's most elite scouts. Not to mention Ye Chen, even a mosquito flying over from the Xueyin Mountains would not escape our sight..."
"How is this possible?"
The expression of Zhenbei Hou became increasingly ugly.
Sheng Songde secretly looked up at the Marquis of Zhenbei and whispered uncertainly, "Unless... unless this guy didn't come to attack Beiyun City at all..."
"oops!!"
Zhenbei Hou slapped his forehead, his face full of regret, "I fell into a trap!"
Immediately, he hurriedly took out a special sound transmission jade slip from his ring and said in a hurry: "Dark Fire! Dark Fire! You have been exposed, retreat immediately!"
Sheng Songde and Yan Jing looked at each other and saw frustration and disappointment in each other's eyes.
It turned out that all this was the opponent's strategy to lure the enemy. It was no big deal to let these people come back empty-handed. The key point was that the internal supporter that his Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had planted with great difficulty in the Pingnan General's Mansion might be completely exposed.
You know, it is very valuable to have an insider who can be successfully implanted into the enemy's interior.
At the critical moment, the role he can play is no less than that of a powerful god-level warrior!
"Dark Fire! Dark Fire! Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately! Response received!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei sent a message again anxiously.
However, this time he quickly received the other party's voice transmission, but the voice was not "Dark Fire".
I only heard the other party jokingly say, "Got it! Got it! Thank you, Lord, for personally helping me identify the traitor. I am deeply grateful!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei was stunned, and then he fiercely crushed the jade slip in his hand.
The Northern Territory Lord's face flushed red, and he growled loudly, gritting his teeth:
"Ye-Chen!!!!"
