Chapter 650: Purging the Spies
King Xiang had a stunning start, but he hit a nail at the Ochre Pass, and his momentum suddenly stagnated. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
King Jing is the opposite, his start is not very good, because before the army, he made a mess of Sanxiang, so the borderless land he occupied has long been regarded as the territory of King Jing's mansion.
And with the eastward advance of Jingwangfu, their momentum became stronger and stronger.
Huaiqing County didn't expect that King Jing's target was them, although on the border, they also deployed heavy troops to defend, but they were still not fully prepared.
The strongest resistance that King Jing encountered was on the border between Sanxiang and Huaiqing, who resisted for five days and only broke through the defense line after killing and wounding 3,000 people.
As soon as the defense line was broken, the morale of the Huaiqing defenders plummeted, and more than 20,000 defenders who did not have time to escape were captured by King Jing.
This is not a national war, in the face of an invincible situation, it is relatively rare for the sergeants to fight to the death, in fact, they think the same as Li Shu: This is your Zhao family's own fight for family property, we have fought, we can't fight, if you are captured, you will be captured.
Jing Wangfu did a very good job in this regard, they directly incorporated the captured army, and also selected some generals to come out to lead the troops, under the guise of "Huaiqing people do not fight Huaiqing people", all the way to attack the city.
Come to think of it, in order to rebel, King Jing even did something to collude with the Hu Wei clan and the True God Sect, and he couldn't tolerate Huaiqing to surrender his troops?
The most pitiful thing is that Huaiqing County is really not ready for a full-scale invasion, and the army of Jingwangfu is capturing Huaiqing at the speed of a rapid march.
At the same time, Thunder Valley is not peaceful.
It is said that King Jing is fighting happily to the east, and he is not in the mood to provoke a strong enemy in the rear, but in fact, because this has become the most stable place in Sanxiang County, the people and traffic of Lei Valley have increased greatly.
Now Thunder Valley is not just a center for relief, and there is a trend of developing into towns.
Many people don't come to Thunder Valley for work-for-relief--although Linggu is good, not everyone can worry about it.
They brought their own grain and rice, just to have a place to stay, and some even made a special trip to transport cooked food outside the mountains to earn the difference in the price of grain - cooked food is not difficult to preserve, but if it is trafficked on a large scale, it can also cultivate professional demand.
In the rapid increase in the flow of people, the number of spies from all sides has also increased sharply.
For the spies, Lei Gu was indispensable - they did not intervene in the court dispute, but only helped the displaced people.
But in the end, Li Yongsheng couldn't bear it anymore, because ...... There are spies of the True God Sect in the valley!
At this moment, there are more than 80,000 and nearly 90,000 people in Thunder Valley.
Because of the mutual aid agreement reached with the four surrounding counties, there were more than 10,000 fewer displaced people in the valley, but after the war, another 20,000 or 30,000 people came in to take refuge, and it was roughly the current situation.
The spies of the True God Sect were not discovered by Li Yongsheng, there were so many people in Lei Valley, and he didn't have the energy to identify them one by one, and more importantly, many people came in, not to ask for help, but to have a stable place to stay.
Among them, there are many people who claim to be loyal to the imperial court, and they don't want to be with King Jing, so they specially bring their families to take refuge temporarily, and they don't want Lei Gu to treat them as outcasts.
This is not in line with the management system of Thunder Valley, and such people are not allowed to enter Thunder Valley.
However, they could have done so before, but now that war has broken out, the premise is different, and if they don't accept these people, they are putting the other side in danger.
The Ninth Princess hesitated for a long time, and finally approved these people to enter the valley.
Although she also emphasized that these people must accept the management of Lei Gu and also make up households to sit together, but people do not take Lei Gu's job well, and the supervision is somewhat worse.
Li Yongsheng knew that there were spies from the True God Sect, or because of Suzaku's reminder.
There are also people in the Xuannu Dao who have mixed into the valley, although the Xuannu Palace is extremely sensitive to the breath of the incense into the Divine Dao, but if the other party doesn't even have a cultivation practice, it is not easy to identify.
This is what Li Yongsheng encountered, when he was walking, a little girl passed by him, and there was a small piece of wood in his hand.
He didn't bother to look at the little piece of wood, he turned his head and glanced at the little girl.
The girl was not very old, eleven or twelve years old, and she did not cultivate - not to cover up, but to really not cultivate.
His mind moved, and he thought to the other party, wanting to mark it, and then he unexpectedly felt a very slight resistance - I go, she is protected by Suzaku?
Incense becomes the protective power of Shinto, and it cannot be faked.
Then he looked at the small wooden tablet, on which were written three people, and the labeling: True God Cultist.
Li Yongsheng did not suspect that this was fake, although he was a wind watcher, Suzaku's ability to perceive the True God Cultists was much stronger than him--his peers were enemies.
He couldn't laugh or cry a little: My Thunder Valley is really a hodgepodge, the spies of Shinto are here, and there is more than one.
In any case, the spies of the True God Cult must be defeated.
Li Yongsheng did not assign others, but went to check on himself.
The three spies were two men and one woman, of which one was one man and one woman in the outer valley.
The outer valley is an area that is not very managed by the Thunder Valley, in fact, it is also in the Thunder Valley, but it is close to the valley mouth in the northeast, where there is a flat land with a radius of seven or eight miles, and not far above the slope, it is the avenue leading to the outside of the mountain in the Thunder Valley.
More than 20,000 people gather here, and they can even raise their own fires to cook.
The first thing Li Yongsheng found was an ordinary man in his early thirties, this person was a fellow of a caravan, King Jing was in rebellion, they happened to collide head-on, fought for a while, ran to Thunder Valley, and lost the goods.
There were still more than a dozen people left in the caravan, most of whom went into the inner valley and were managed as outcasts, leaving only two men and the injured young owner in the outer valley.
It is said that the conditions of the outer valley are much worse than those of the inner valley, and it is not suitable for the caravan to recuperate from the owner's injury.
But the outer valley is at ease, and does not need to be strictly managed, of course, the most important thing is that it is more convenient to contact the outside world, and the caravan has already spread the news and is waiting for someone from home.
It would not be good if all the people went to the inner valley, in case the information was missed.
This man is one of the buddies, he is not even a repairer, he is responsible for chopping wood and feeding horses or something on weekdays, and his hands and feet are quite diligent.
Li Yongsheng didn't want to alarm this person, so he sent a divine thought from afar, wanting to test the other party's divine aura.
Who would have thought that a divine thought hit the past, and just recognized that there was indeed an extremely secret fluctuation on the other party, the man screamed, glanced around, and ran away.
If I really want you to run away, I won't be laughed to death by Yongxin? Li Yongsheng raised his hand and hit a black dot without thinking about it.
The black dot quickly traveled through more than fifty feet, and suddenly opened, and a large net covered the man squarely.
The man didn't have time to retract his feet, and suddenly turned into a rolling gourd, which was entangled in a strong knot.
Not far away, a high-level system correction leaned on a stone to bask in the sun, with two crutches beside him, and sat up straight when he saw this, shouting, "Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
He was the young proprietor of the caravan, and his legs were injured and he was unable to walk.
A big white hand poked down from the sky and directly photographed the big net and people on the ground, leaving only a lazy voice, "Lei Gu takes people, it makes sense, you'd better not go around." ”
Even if this area called Outer Valley has a management team in Thunder Valley, how can such a big thing not attract their attention?
However, everyone looked at the big hand, but they were all shocked, and then got up and arched their hands, "I've seen Shopkeeper Li." ”
"No need to be polite," Li Yongsheng waved his hand, didn't care about saying more, and took people away, this kind of densely populated place, once the True God Cultists go crazy, it will really have too much impact.
The high-level system cultivator looked at this scene dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: I'll go, that guy is the shopkeeper Li who is above 10,000 people under Lei Gu alone? But ...... What will happen to the ponies?
Then, he saw dozens of malicious eyes, looked himself up and down, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Lao Zhang, Xiao Li, what are you ...... What do you mean?"
Lao Zhang laughed dryly, walked over and picked up his crutches, "You can't walk, I'll help you hold things." ”
Xiao Li pulled out a cow tendon and snorted coldly, "The second year of high school, everyone is sitting together, I would like to advise you on the relationship between these days...... Don't ask for your own hardship."
The corners of Gao Ershao's mouth twitched, "Nima, he's just a hired employee of my family......"
Li Yongsheng carried the man into the inner valley and bumped into Du Jingjing.
Du Zhenren saw that he was carrying a person in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Who is this?"
"Cultist," Li Yongsheng replied casually, then looked down and found that after this man was restrained, there was no attempt to commit suicide, but more of a desperate mood.
When Du Jingjing heard this, her eyes lit up, "Leave it to me...... I'm here to search for souls. ”
For these cultists, Li Yongsheng did not rule out soul searching, but he still tactfully persuaded him, "I have seen you search for souls several times, and this kind of thing is too much, which is not good for your health." ”
"What is it that is not good for your health when you do too much?" A voice sounded behind Li Yongsheng, and when he looked back, he found Gongsun Weiming standing not far away, frowning and asking, "Is it the loss of the outer kidney?"
"You don't have a serious word in your mouth," Du Jingjing snorted angrily, "This is a cultist!"
The three of them found a secret place to put the person down, and then placed a ban before starting the interrogation.
The man resolutely refused to admit that he was a cultist -- I had no cultivation at all, so how could I be a cultist?
"Isn't your mouth hard?" Li Yongsheng sneered, stepped forward, ripped off his belt, and pulled out a wooden sign the size of a finger belly from the belt, and on the wooden card was a string of runes of different races.
He looked at the wooden plaque, then tossed it in his hand, and asked with a cold face, "If you are not a cultist, where did this talisman come from?"
It was precisely because of the automatic activation of this talisman that the man discovered that someone was spying on him, so he had the intention of escaping.
