"Let me go! You have arrested the wrong person! What are you arresting me for?"
But soon, the person was turned to the deputy general in charge of the operation.
"How do you know I arrested the wrong person?" He looked at the other person coldly.
The man changed his words again: "I don't know anything, why are you arresting me?"
Seeing that this man refused to admit it to death, the deputy general just gave a cold voice and ordered: "Take him away!"
The lieutenant-general was not very satisfied with the results of the whole night.
Unexpectedly, he brought so many people here, but only caught one kitten. If Commander Ah Dan was not satisfied, this opportunity would fall on others.
Therefore, he treated this man even more harshly, thinking that when he went back later, he would pry this man's mouth open no matter what method he used.
Lin Mengya and his party of four also followed the team very low-key.
But Zhou Xin, who felt somewhat guilty, still found an opportunity to run forward and take a look.
After that, the four of them did not communicate too much along the way, but followed the large army back to the Shaoxuan Army's barracks.
After a night of squatting, everyone was very tired. After returning, they had to continue patrolling and changing shifts. They could only rest after completing their duties.
After learning that she had to continue working, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It's not that easy to be a bad person these days.
What a hard work!
Fortunately, the Zhou brothers were there to cover them throughout the process, and they were very cooperative.
The area the four of them were responsible for patrolling was in the west of the city, surrounded by relatively low-rise houses. It was very quiet and secluded.
After the four of them evaded the patrol in the same area, the Zhou brothers took them to another secret stronghold of theirs.
In the area where they were patrolling, Zhou Ning was still responsible for opening the door, and the three of them entered an inconspicuous small courtyard to discuss.
"I looked at it and it was a new face, not someone we had interacted with before."
Zhou Xin said with certainty.
"That's weird. They're not the people who contacted you before, so where are they?" Lin Mengya also felt that this matter was becoming more and more confusing.
According to Zhou Xin, the two of them were spies who had infiltrated the Shaoxuan Army for a long time. Therefore, after the city was blocked inside and outside, they became the main force in searching for news in the city.
And every time the person who contacts them is responsible for delivering news to the outside world.
As for the news that Lin Mengya and the others would come, it was also those people who came in and made it clear that when Lin Mengya and the others arrived, they would bring them in.
However, Lin Mengya came in by herself, and those people did not contact Zhou Xin and the others again.
so-
"Perhaps something happened in the sect, so a new person contacted us. But for some reason, this new person was discovered by the Shaoxuan Army."
For now, Zhou Xin can only use this explanation to explain everything that is happening so far.
In fact, even if it was true, there was nothing he could do.
He and Zhou Ning are just two ordinary little characters.
They had neither a backer nor rich property, otherwise, they would not have been sent out as spies.
But unfortunately, they have something that the other party has to hold in their hands.
These are things that cannot be told to outsiders.
Lin Mengya pondered for a moment. Although she felt that this explanation made sense, there was still something wrong.
After a while, Long Tianyu, who always talked little outside, hit the mark.
"The person who was caught was not someone sent by the Qinglian Department."
Lin Mengya's eyes lit up, yes, that's right, this is it!
Seeing that Zhou Xin and the others were still confused, she immediately explained: "I was sent by the deputy hall master. If this person really received her order, then the person he contacted should be me."
This is easy to understand.
The deputy hall master would not be so stupid. If they were all sent by her, then she would naturally want to merge the two parties into one, so as to avoid mutual suspicion and misunderstanding, which would delay the progress of the mission.
However, this person appeared at the emergency contact point for spies in the city.
But if the other party has just entered the city, then he will definitely not know that the person responsible for meeting them has not shown up, so he must try his best to contact the missing group of people.
If the other party followed them into the city, then they should also contact the group of people responsible for the response.
Actually.
After Lin Mengya came in, she left a signal at the agreed meeting place in the city.
But there was no response for several days, so she turned to the Zhou brothers.
If that person was really sent by the deputy hall master, he should have followed the clues and found her and Long Tianyu at least a few days ago.
Although he was not sent by the deputy hall master, he still knew the emergency contact information in the city.
Then there is only one possibility. The other party may indeed be from the Seven Color Lotus, but not from the Qinglian tribe.
"I'll understand when you say that."
Zhou Xin suddenly realized that anyone who could be a spy would not be a fool.
He frowned and added: "I found this emergency contact point in the city. The only ones who know about it are the guys who sent the letters, so..."
Several people had guessed the rest of the words.
Who knows, that means those people are in whose hands.
Or maybe they were eliminated because someone wanted to take their place.
Regarding this conclusion, the Zhou brothers only pondered for a moment and then silently accepted it.
Lin Mengya felt a little surprised.
"You... I mean, in our Qinglian Department, are there many such things?"
Zhou Xin sighed, nodded, and said: "Quite a few. I heard that you guys just arrived not long ago. In fact, our sect has quite a lot of internal strife."
On the surface, the seven tribes perform their own duties, but in fact they all have the same plan. They all want to be the leader of the seven tribes, and even want the next lotus master to come from their own tribe.
Therefore, although they appear to be harmonious on the surface, in fact, they often plot against each other secretly.
The Qinglian Department is responsible for inquiring about information everywhere, so tasks such as finding people and things are usually done by them.
But this sometimes touches the interests of other departments.
In order to grab the credit, they often attack the people of the Qinglian tribe behind their backs.
Zhou Xin and his two brothers were able to avoid many overt and covert attacks over the years just because they were careful enough.
Unexpectedly, this time it was almost exposed.
If Lin Mengya and the others hadn't found the Zhou brothers in advance, it would be hard to say who was being guarded tonight.
Although the direction of speculation has been made for the time being, the four people still cannot take it lightly.
They agreed that after returning from this patrol, the Zhou brothers would be responsible for inquiring about internal information, and Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu also had things to do.
The four of them were temporarily divided into two groups in the small courtyard.
The Zhou brothers continued to patrol and provide cover, while Lin Mengya and the others chose to visit the cellar where they had previously hidden to see Le Zhengzixiu's situation.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, the two walked quickly.
After a while, we arrived at the cellar, but there was no one inside.
"Where are the people?" Lin Mengya was a little confused.
It is said that this man's body was not recovered yet, so he ran out at this time, and he was not afraid of being caught again.
Long Tianyu, on the other hand, found some clues.
"He took some of the food away, so it probably hasn't gone too far." He touched the charcoal stove used for heating.
The air in the cellar is no better than outside, so they only have a small charcoal stove.
He touched the charcoal stove, which was not completely cool yet.
It seemed that this person had just left.
"Forget it, just leave him alone. A living person like him naturally knows what to do."
Lin Mengya just stopped by to take a look.
The two of them came out of the cellar again and went straight to the small incense and candle shop.
Sure enough, there were still people squatting around the incense and candle shop.
He must be trying to catch some fish that slipped through the net.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu also chose to hide behind those people, acting like oriole.
When the sky was dark, there was finally movement over there.
However, it was the sound of fighting.
We can only get a rough idea of where the two of them are, but judging from the movements, it sounds like the Shaoxuan Army is not in the upper hand.
Of course, Long Tianyu couldn't go out to help, but his ears perked up and he listened carefully to the situation over there.
"The martial arts here are pretty good, but it's a pity that two fists can't beat four hands."
In this kind of matter, Long Tianyu's judgment is always accurate.
Before he finished speaking, Lin Mengya saw a person limping over.
She immediately activated the concealment function, held her man's hand tightly, and their auras suddenly disappeared without a trace.
But the man who had been on guard all the time was stunned when he passed by.
Just now, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone here.
But he didn't expect that it was his own judgment that was wrong.
Well, he could get away faster if there was no one here.
Therefore, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu watched helplessly as those Shaoxuan troops were led away by this man.
It wasn't until they ran far away that Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu came out of the corner.
All the Shaoxuan troops who were squatting on the ground chased him, and the two of them took the opportunity to enter the incense and candle shop.
Everything was still as usual inside, but it seemed more messy.
Lin Mengya quickly got the small candlestick with the green lotus seat. She touched it and sure enough, she touched the small iron piece that allowed them to communicate with each other.
He didn't have time to look at the mark on it, so he just put the thing down.
After that, the two people quickly ran out of the room.
By the time Shaoxuan's army returned without catching anyone, the two of them had already run away, and no one knew that two people had gone in just now.
Without knowing it, the two of them achieved their goal.
"Sure enough, it's pretty much what we guessed."
In the safe hiding place, Lin Mengya took out the small iron piece and put it in the palm of her hand, turning it over and over.
The mark on it is exactly the same as the mark she placed in the Qinglian candlestick holder before.
