Beasts become gods

Chapter 266 Uncovering the insider

He restored all the phantom arrays at the entrance of the house to their original appearance, rubbed them with his fingers, gathered spiritual power between his fingers to repair some of the worn areas, and murmured secretly in his heart.

Recently, I have been coming in and out of the house very frequently...

It was hard to know what was going on outside the house after entering it. Through the Cort system, Qiao Bang could see hurried pedestrians and soldiers searching for farmers and children throughout the city. Qiao Bang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was too hasty to act like this. If he couldn't hide his figure in broad daylight, Qiao Bang wouldn't have made such a move. He really didn't have time to think of a more reliable strategy.

Qiao Bang deeply hated Han Dongsheng and his affiliates. Previously, Han Yunzhe had a grudge and wanted to harm himself, so he arranged for his troops to squat in the woods in front of the stone bridge. If he did not have the Cort System, he asked the college teachers to pursue the Han family's personal guards on the grounds of protecting the hospital.

Qiao Bang may have been killed by his enemies long ago.

Qiao Bang naturally hopes that everyone in the Han family will die miserably because of his hatred for the house. His original intention of traveling in disguise was not to be targeted by the Han family. Now that Han Dongsheng has lost power and led everyone to escape, Han Yun

Zhe is not in the academy, but Qiao Bang's vigilance has not been eliminated, but he is more cautious. In the past, the Han family paid attention to the influence in the city and did not dare to act recklessly. Now they are wanted, and their behavior cannot be judged by their normal mentality. If they still have doubts about themselves,

If you have murderous intentions, you will not be able to rely on powerful teachers to protect you if you are not in the academy. Even if there is a huge disparity in strength, you will still die easily.

It is true that he is talented, but talent and strength are two different things. Moreover, after practicing the Beast Absorption Technique and the Sun-Shielding Hiding Technique, Qiao Bang felt that his previously slowly growing cultivation began to loosen up. The Beast Absorption Technique is quite good at absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.

It is effective and has the aura to embrace hundreds of rivers, and the Hidden Sun Technique has a subtle effect on tempering the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness. It is not noticed in a short period of time, but the eyesight feels better and better.

The encounter with Han Buyan, Han Jiayong and the other eight people was by chance. The opportunity was fleeting. Qiao Bang was unwilling to miss the opportunity and made this strategy. The purpose was also to have the mentality of eradicating the weeds and eradicating the roots. If he can influence the whole body, if he can leverage this

Using the mouths of eight people to remove Han Dongsheng's hidden hideout can be regarded as a military achievement. Promotion and promotion are just around the corner, and his salary will naturally increase accordingly.

As for the things that Feng Muyang was worried about, the overt and covert entanglement with Han Dongsheng, Qiao Bang refused to comment, and he did not care what Feng Muyang decided in the future. Not to mention Han Dongsheng's character, Feng Muyang, as the city lord, had interests in Han Dongsheng

The relationship is probably a den of snakes and rats, colluding together. At this time, the city defense army and Shangtianmen have been alarmed. Perhaps Feng Muyang will actively respond to the search and arrests of Shangtianmen on the surface, but secretly he is trying to find ways to inform Han Dongsheng, so that Han Dongsheng can take advantage of the situation to take a turn for the worse.

Escape along the wild road in the mountains. As long as Han Dongsheng is not captured, Feng Muyang will be able to sit on the position of city leader for a longer time. However, Yu Liqing, the new leader of Shangtianmen, seems to be a person with a strong personality. He must be vigorous and resolute, mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible.

There were only six peaks to the west of Wanfeng City. The army was divided into three groups to disperse and search. If anything was found, beacon smoke would be set off to warn. It would only take a long time to be hunted without precautions.

His reckless actions may have destroyed the interest network of the powerful people in Wanfeng City, but Qiao Bang seems to be reckless but is actually smart. This move will completely cut off Han Dongsheng's future in the Jialuo Empire.

, the only thing before him is to flee to a neighboring country, change his name and keep a low profile to survive. There is a high probability that he will hide in the Loulan Dynasty, where the order is chaotic and the customs are corrupt. It is not difficult to spend some money to open up connections and buy a fake identity. On the contrary, it is not difficult to buy a false identity.

The Aolai Empire has a long way to go. Regardless of whether the journey is difficult or not, it is actually extremely difficult to get a new identity when you reach the Aolai Empire. It is undoubtedly difficult for a foreigner to develop in the orderly Aolai Empire.

The most important thing is that it is impossible for Han Dongsheng to create so many false identities for his followers and family members in the Aolai Empire. This can only be done in the Loulan Dynasty.

Whether Han Dongsheng is captured or flees to another country, Qiao Bang will no longer be in danger in Wanfeng City. From now on, Qiao Bang will be able to let go of one worry and no longer be timid. He can also relax a little when going to and from the academy, no longer as rude as before.

The frightened bird, this is Qiao Bang's plan.

With this thought in his mind, Qiao Bang didn't listen to what Zhang Yumeng and Zhang Mengxue said to each other in front of him. He looked up at them, but he was still thinking about everything that had just happened, and his heartbeat was not beating.

No matter how violent it was, when the two of them stopped talking and both looked at him, Qiao Bang didn't know why, so he smiled back to ease the embarrassment. Zhang Mengxue didn't hesitate, took Qiao Bang's hand and walked towards the hall, brought him to Tianye, and turned around

He left and continued chatting with Zhang Yumeng.

This series of movements disturbed the originally gloomy Tianyue. When he saw it was Qiao Bang, Tianyue changed his expression and hurriedly put away his irritability. He patiently greeted Qiao Bang and arranged things in the house.

, pulled Qiao Bang up to the room on the second floor.

Seeing Tian Ye's hesitant appearance, Qiao Bang knew that it was definitely not good news. If Tian Tian, ​​who was usually calm and open-minded, could be so anxious, what he was going to tell him next might not be trivial.

I saw Tianye glance at Qiao Bang, then turned his head and looked at the array plate on the table. He raised his eyebrows slightly, blinked his eyes, and Qiao Bang knew what it meant. He turned around and touched the wall, ready to throw away the scattered dishes.

The spiritual array is activated.

This touch does not matter, it is found that the spirit-dispersing array has been destroyed and recovery is impossible. Fifty-sixths of the spirit-dispersing array has been destroyed and cannot be activated and used.

Turning around and leaning towards other walls, he carefully inspected and found that the remaining thirteen spirit scattering arrays had also been destroyed, making it impossible to draw another layer on the original traces. Qiao Bang's expression began to become solemn, and he began to understand why Ye Ye wanted to

Pulled him into the room.

Without further ado, he just lay down on the ground under the bed and started carving. There were four groups of spirit gathering arrays plus five groups of spirit scattering arrays, and an intermediate phantom array was arranged in the middle. This was a gourd painting from an ancient book that was recently read on the stone tower.

Lao accidentally learned the Phantom Spirit Array. After ten groups of spirit arrays were combined into one large array, Qiao Bang poured spiritual power into it, which wreaked havoc in the room. The effect of the Spirit Dispersing Array was instantly brought into play.

Since being inspired by Yang Lan in the Southern Territory Legion, Qiao Bang's depiction of spiritual formations is no longer limited to the role of a single spiritual formation. It is more about connecting the trajectories of various spiritual formations end to end, abandoning the outline of a single spiritual formation. Qiao Bang

Bang's vision has undergone a completely new change. He no longer sticks to the appearance. He can clearly see the traces of spiritual power flowing in the spiritual formation, and understands several important nodes in each spiritual formation. Qiao Bang feels that he has just crossed over.

He has reached the threshold of spiritual formation master.

After activating the combined spiritual array, Tian Ye felt the overwhelming spiritual power. Knowing that Qiao Bang had successfully re-arranged and activated the spiritual array, he approached Qiao Bang and explained the recent discovery.

It turns out that the spirit array in this house was destroyed by Ye Ye himself. The city defense army came to investigate a while ago. Ye Ye made a prompt decision to disarm the spirit array outside the house in advance and broke the spirit array on the wall. With his quick eyesight and hands, he was able to catch the city defense army before they could search.

A series of operations were completed. Even with Ruan Gaoming saying a lot of good things, the house was still turned upside down. If Gu Junyi and Chen Zixiong hadn't been in the house that day, these city defense troops would have asked the two of them to dig out the space.

Check the contents of the storage device one by one.

The supplies purchased in the courtyard are usually put into the space storage device as soon as possible after field inspection. This habit has been complained by other soldiers many times. After all, it is not only faster to store all the supplies one by one into the turtle shell.

It is slow and consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Taking it out will also consume a lot of spiritual energy. Zhao Jin has complained about it many times, but now it seems that it has saved everyone's life.

This is not to say that the purchased materials are invisible, but that such a large amount of materials is easily guessed by the city defense army to be needed by the Lanwu Camp of Pinglan Province or the Southern Territory Army. The bandits and bandits do not need such a large amount of materials.

.

During the search, everyone was a little panicked. Except for Wen Hao, who was always silent, everyone else seemed a little enthusiastic. When the city defense army withdrew, an officer named Yu Liqing gave an order to check everyone's accessories and clothing, and asked

Everyone showed their spirit knots. If the soldiers hadn't woven the inner galls of the hidden snakes into anklets and hid them in their trousers, their large number of spirit knots alone would have made the search deeper, and the city defense troops would have stayed in the house for several days.

Not surprising either.

This farce shocked the soldiers. Everyone in the house was in danger and did not dare to act rashly. Purchases came to a standstill and people's hearts were in doubt.

After hearing this, Qiao Bang didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about. This just proved that Yu Liqing's search was fruitless. He was anxious to make military achievements and reached out to the residential area. Such actions could not be carried out one after another. It would be trivial to arouse public indignation. He should be held accountable.

It is great to go to Tianmen to do things by any means.

Sure enough, Ye Ye just explained the recent situation and brought the topic on the right track. Since Han Junhu's incident was revealed, Ye Ye has also diverted his attention to trivial matters in the house, paying more attention to the time when soldiers enter and exit the house. When he is not around, Ye Ye

Asking Chen Zixiong to cooperate in recording, the most trusted person in the house is Chen Zixiong, and Tian Ye is not sure about the others.

After a long period of observation, Ye Ye determined that many situations in the house had been exposed. The contents of the recent meeting between the city lord Feng Muyang and him made Ye Ye even more certain that the soldiers in the house had tipped off the information and reported the matter of the Southern Territory Legion to the city lord.

Mansion. This is contrary to the purpose of the Southern Territory Army's deployment of soldiers here. In the near future, the field will not dare to do anything. Some extremely precious materials do not dare to go to the auction house to obtain. They only purchase some grains and silk, and the operation cannot continue.

In the short term, new houses cannot be purchased in Wanfeng City, and they are easily taken care of by the city defense soldiers, which is even more inconvenient for movement. There is only one way to solve the problem. Find the undercover agents lurking in the houses, confirm their number and then escort them back to the Southern Territory Legion.

Or find an excuse to rush back to the Southern Territory and be imprisoned in a mountain prison like Han Junhu to ensure the purity of the soldiers during the execution of the operation. Only then can Tianye dare to continue the operation and plan for it slowly.

Ye Ye also made it clear that the reason why he discussed the matter with Qiao Bang was because Qiao Bang found out Han Junhu and reported it to Chen Zixiong. The situation was true and a "nail" was solved. Now that the situation has arisen again, Ye Ye has not yet sent the secret message.

I'd like to hear Qiao Bang's opinion first.

"Uncle Ye Ye suspects that there is an internal agent from the City Lord's Mansion in the house, and he already knows about the actions of the Southern Territory Army in Wanfeng City?"

"Yes, it is still unclear whether he is a member of the City Lord's Mansion a long time ago, or whether he has become an internal agent in Wanfeng City for more than half a year. As for the actions of the Southern Territory Legion, the City Lord's Mansion is determined not to know about it.

Only Chen Zixiong and I knew that we acted separately during the operation, so we were not worried about that old man Feng Muyang knowing about it. But there was an internal conspiracy here. Some precious materials and soldiers could not be purchased, and our army could not be controlled by Feng Muyang during the operation.

I know that if Feng Muyang gets it wrong, it will cause irreversible consequences."

Qiao Bang's heart sank and he was speechless. He seemed to have figured out some ideas in his mind and spoke in a deep voice.

"Does the Southern Territory want autonomy?"

After hearing this, Tian Ye's expression changed drastically. He glanced around the room to make sure no one was watching, coughed, and spoke slowly.

"Why does Master Qiao Bang have such speculation?"

"The southern region has developed rapidly in recent years. In addition to the rapid increase in the strength of the army, in addition to the military camp, residential areas, farming areas, commercial areas, and textile and dyeing areas have also been planned. The reason is to stabilize the refugees who fled here from the north, and also to

From this, many actions were launched. However, the residential area was far away from the sea, and it was hidden among the mountains and jungles with the help of a natural chasm. There were so many phantom formations around it, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth condensed and never dispersed. These were undoubtedly used for cover.

Avoid the spying of spiritual warriors flying in the sky with the help of flying spiritual beasts or soldier spirits."

"It turns out that you already know so much, but that's normal. You are the young master. I must have told you these General Qiao and Manager Yang."

"No, grandpa. Grandpa didn't tell me. These are the conclusions I drew from my observations. These years, grandpa has been cultivating crops and spared no effort to purchase cotton wool. While building construction in the southern region, he is still planting. It grows quickly and is not easily affected by spiritual insects.

He gnawed the spiritual tree, worked hard all day and night, and worked extremely hard. Uncle Cui even founded a sect, and the resources of the Southern Territory Army were tilted towards Bixia Villa. This in itself explains a lot of problems. On the surface, it was for the sake of the soldiers.

Taking care of Bixia Sect disciples, increasing investment in Bixia Sect disciples, improving Bixia Sect's medical skills and alchemy skills, in fact, serving the people, there is no need to ask for help from the Alchemy Sect, and there is no need to go to Yanxia Province to collect medicinal herbs. If it were not for the southern climate, temperature restrictions

, Uncle Cui should spend all his money to buy all the spiritual plant seeds..."

"Master Qiao Bang is indeed very smart. Sometimes I really wonder if you are a child under ten years old. Your observation and analysis and judgment abilities are different from ordinary people. You are already much better than many adults. Maybe.

You will be a good material to be a scout in the future..."

"Uncle Tian Ye was so complimentary, so what I inferred is correct?"

Tian Tian thought about it for a while, looked at Qiao Bang who was looking at him eagerly, and thought in his mind that after being in contact with him for more than half a year, Qiao Bang was a diligent and hard-working child. He never relied on his talents and was arrogant. He took a general look at everything, but never

Show off your stance. If you hadn't communicated with this child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said what he was thinking.

Tian Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a faint smile, and explained slowly.

"There is no idea of ​​autonomy in the Southern Territory at present, but it is always necessary to prepare for a rainy day. In the past, the Southern Territory Army was afraid of the imperial court's accusations and was worried that the imperial court would find it guilty of relying on its own troops, so it took action on General Qiao and Manager Yang. The two adults did not cherish it.

Feather's idea is just to avoid the loss of life. If the war starts, it will be out of control. It is not like resisting the sea spirit beast. It is just a wave of resistance, and the sea spirit beast can clear the country. But the struggle between people is very complicated.

It will be difficult to stop, and it will develop into an endless situation in the end, which is not what General Qiao wants to see."

"Wars are rife within the empire, and bandits occupying city-states are common. The decline of the imperial court is inevitable. Dinghai and Pinglan provinces are the granary of the empire, related to the development of the whole country, and are the lifeblood of the imperial court. So whether it is the imperial court

Shenwei Camp, or Shangtianmen under the command of Divine Prime Minister Wu Tianmou, treats the two southern provinces with both kindness and power, with beating as a supplement and training as the main one. As long as the two provinces pay tribute in time and make no mistakes, it doesn't matter what small actions the city lord makes, as long as it does not endanger

The interests of the imperial court were left unchecked unless there was nothing wrong with them. In the final analysis, the imperial court and the local area were intertwined in interests, using each other to restrain each other. And what maintained this relationship was the payment of tribute on time and in quantity. In the past, the Southern Territory Army suffered

When the imperial court was ostracizing General Qiao and General Manager Yang, it was difficult to move forward, with constraints everywhere, and it was impossible to survive with only Qiao's army. Initially, Divine Doctor Cui proposed to recruit local powerful spiritual warriors to join the army, first easing the conflicts among the local people, and then slowly opening up the situation.

The connections in Dinghai Province lasted for about two years before the Southern Territory Army truly got rid of the possibility of disintegration at any time, and subsequently established the Xunbao Camp."

"It was General Manager Yang's suggestion to advance towards Wanfeng City and drive a few nails in. After receiving the reminder and advice from Divine Doctor Cui, General Qiao let us wait for the action. All of this is a plan to nip in the bud, and at the same time, we must do

So the situation of being forced to self-govern will happen.”

"Forced to self-govern?" Qiao Bang was stunned, not expecting Tian Ye to come to this conclusion.

"Yes, autonomy is the last way out for the Southern Territory. Relying on population, as long as the Southern Territory solves the problem of being self-sufficient, even if the imperial court collapses, the government fails to strengthen, the empire is in chaos, the Loulan Dynasty and Aolai

The empire will advance into the empire's territory. By that time, the whole country will no longer be a paradise. The threat in the southern region will no longer be the intrusion of sea spirit beasts, but more frequently the enemy armies that invade from the east and west sides. By that time,

The Southern Territory must achieve autonomy, and the number of soldiers in the legion will exceed 60,000. Accelerating expansion is inevitable, and we must take advantage of this opportunity to make steady progress."

"What my uncle means is that as long as the Imperial Court is still there, the Southern Territory will not declare autonomy. Everything depends on whether the empire can survive? Then if the Imperial Court continues to last for a hundred years and is currently considering expansion, wouldn't the pressure on the Southern Territory increase suddenly?

?Increasing the number of soldiers, let alone whether we can continue to be restrained by military discipline, and whether we can select people with both ability and political integrity to entrust important tasks in a short period of time, will we bear the brunt of being slandered by people with ulterior motives for supporting the army and seeking rebellion, right?"

"Yes, we will not recruit new soldiers at the moment. It is not yet the time of unrest, but we still need to step up the purchase of materials. The sooner we can achieve self-sufficiency, we will no longer have the possibility of a crisis in the future and reduce the risk."

"Then Uncle Ye Ye has someone to suspect? Do you have any subjective judgment in the house?"

"No need to say more about Chen Zixiong. Although he is not good at talking and has a straightforward personality, he is an upright and bloody man at heart. He is the first person I exclude. Ruan Gaoming is petty-minded but has a good heart. Careful thinking is his problem, but he is not deep-minded and shrewd.

It's written on his face that although his personality is a bit out of the ordinary, he shouldn't be an internal agent of the city lord's palace; Gu Junyi rarely goes out, and every time he goes out, he wishes someone would accompany him. His strength is still a bit low, and his personality is quite cautious, so he is favored by Yang.

The general manager plays a major role in purchasing supplies. He has limited energy and is unlikely to become an internal agent of the city lord's palace. Zhao Jin takes care of all the trivial matters in the mansion. Disguise is his strong point.

He is basically responsible for all the meals. When we go out, we go to the market to buy some vegetables and meat. The possibility that he is an insider is very small. Zhang Mengxue is obedient to me. Basically, I arrange her to do other things.

She spends all her time in the courtyard; Zhang Yumeng's strength is considered to be at the forefront of the courtyard, and she rarely goes out. She basically follows Chen Zixiong. If she makes any moves, Chen Zixiong will definitely tell me immediately, so it is almost impossible for Zhang Yumeng to be an internal agent.

And Wen Hao, who has a dull personality and doesn't like crowds, goes out with Ruan Gaoming and works very efficiently. From the observation during this period, he should not be an insider."

"Uncle Tian Ye, you have said so much, so you have already made some judgment."

Looking at the joking Qiao Bang in front of him, Tian Ye was even more convinced that this child's mind was far beyond the judgment of adults. He recalled Chen Zixiong's evaluation of Master Qiao Bang and made up his mind not to show it.

"Master Qiao Bang, tell me what you think."

"Chen Zixiong cares about his family. His wife and children are all waiting for him to return to the family after he is discharged from the army. Uncle Chen, who has a responsibility in his heart, will not abandon his roots and pursue wealth. Ruan Gaoming often comes into contact with thieves and thieves. Although he is small-minded, he is not bad, so there is no need to worry too much.

Concern; Gu Junyi is the grandfather, and his grandfather is placed at the core of Wanfeng City. He is not strong, but has outstanding abilities. He will not give up his great future and is reused by the Southern Territory Army. He will not be an internal agent; Zhang Yumeng and Chen Zixiong work together, and go out to reveal

The possibility of intelligence is also very small. Although he is young, he is determined and will not be easily deceived; Wen Hao is not good at talking but cares about his family and country. He has a cold face and a warm heart, an open mind and a straightforward personality. The possibility of being an insider is extremely low."

Qiao Bang commented that when Zhang Yumeng was young, Ye Tianye almost spilled the tea cup in his hand, but luckily he didn't swallow the tea and it wouldn't spit out. How old is this kid? Why does he speak so old-fashioned? Who did he learn his bad habits from?

I scraped the rim of the cup with the tea lid, poured the tea leaves into the tea, took a sip carefully, and spoke slowly.

"So you doubt Zhao Jin and Zhang Mengxue?"

"These two people are most likely Feng Muyang's internal agents. Zhao Jin is busy and seems to be working hard in the kitchen every day, but in fact he is able to go out to buy vegetables and meat every day, which makes it easier for him to control the people in the house.

The latest information was revealed, and Zhang Mengxue used the excuse of confession to have an intimate relationship with you, which deceived your heart. When you subjectively trust her, it will be easier for her to succeed."

Listening to Qiao Bang's analysis, Tian Ye felt cheerful and felt a chill on his back. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He originally only suspected Zhao Jin, but he never thought that Qiao Bang would also suspect Zhang Mengxue. This was completely beyond his expectation.

Unexpected.

"It makes sense."

"If I were an insider, when I learned that I was about to be exposed, I would transfer the clues that may expose my identity to others, so that the other person would be judged as an insider and would not take any action in the near future. At the same time, I would bring disaster to the east.

If you lead, you can continue to lurk."

"Understood."

Ye Ye has understood Qiao Bang's analysis, but this is also a result that Ye Ye cannot accept. He originally thought that Zhao Jin was an inside agent, but after some deduction, the person who was most likely to be an inside agent turned out to be Zhang Mengxue. Zhao Jin was the most likely suspect.

An internal agent, but because of this, he is the least likely to be an internal agent. Otherwise, no one in the crowd would have the ability to identify poisons and detoxify them during ordinary meals. Zhao Jin has many ways to reveal the information. If

He is an insider and will not be stupid enough to cook for everyone and become the target of public criticism.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Mengxue is the most likely candidate to serve as an internal agent in the city lord's palace.

Knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, feelings have already sprouted. Emotionally, I can't accept it at all, but intellectually, I remind myself that what Qiao Bang, this child, said is true...

Recalling Chen Zixiong's expression when he praised Qiao Bang for being certain that Han Junhu was an undercover agent, and then looking at Qiao Bang's calm and understanding appearance in front of him, Tian Ye didn't know for a moment whether he should feel uncomfortable because the relationship was about to end in vain, or because of Qiao Bang's demeanor at this time.

And secretly laughing.

The culprit is actually her...
