Great Tang Southern Emperor

As a person who likes to plan ahead, of course, Locke will not just leave himself a road up and down the mountain, otherwise, like today, once the road is blocked, even if he defends the stronghold, the enemy will starve himself to death.

So after choosing this place to be the headquarters, Locke immediately dug a tunnel leading to the outside. Fortunately, their back mountain is not full of stones like their feet, and the back mountain is still dominated by soil, otherwise it will There will not be so many vegetation, but the mountain wall is too steep to climb, but this does not affect the excavation of the secret road.

Especially after they got the cement formula, they used cement to fix the entire secret passage with cement, so even if the mountain is full of soil, the secret passage built is also very strong, even strong enough to withstand large-caliber artillery The bombing is almost equivalent to a permanent fortification.Moreover, this secret passage is very secret, and Kishi has never used it. There are very few people who know the existence of this secret passage. What's missing is that I don't know the exact location at all. Only Locke and the confidant guard commander who were in charge of the excavation at the time knew it. As for the craftsmen who dug the secret passage...

Ha ha.

It's just a group of Japanese slaves, if they don't kill them, why don't they still serve as uncles?

Originally, Locke could have withdrawn through the secret passage at the first time, but it was a pity that Locke wanted to see the destruction of the Third Army with his own eyes (he didn't know that the Third Army was a foreign army, he just thought it was Li Zhen sent the Youth Army from China), so he missed the best time to escape.But if you think about it, no one would have imagined that the cannon I just checked would actually go wrong. A single salvo destroyed the entire artillery position, and even the entire defense system of the cottage was damaged. It opened the door for the enemy to capture the cottage, so they could only flee in a hurry, extremely embarrassed.

While running, Locke cursed in his heart. This is the second time. This is the second time he has been forced into such a mess, and both times he was defeated by the same person. accept?The last chance to survive was bought at the price of a few confidantes, but this time he lost the entire headquarters, which is simply a great shame.

Although the value of the headquarters of Chengjianxi is not the highest, it is the core of the entire Chengjianxi. It is responsible for communicating with the transfer station of the major branches, and it is also the brain of the commanding of the major branches. Once it is captured by the enemy, Cheng Jianxi doesn't want to do anything in a short period of time. It is estimated that he will fall into chaos in a short period of time. After this period of chaos, Li Zhen is probably already enthroned, and Li Zhen who has mastered the artifact , its combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the previous Southern Emperor, and its difficulty is tens or hundreds of times higher than before.At that time, once he attacks the Wa country, Cheng Jianxi's efforts in the Wa country for several years will be destroyed again, and with Li Zhen's suppression, even if they can survive, it will be difficult for them to have a third chance to rise.

"Damn, I remember you?" He turned his head and looked back bitterly. Although he couldn't hear it, Locke could clearly feel the trembling sound of the ground. If nothing else, the enemy should have discovered this place Abnormally, a tentative attack has already begun. Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help urging his men to speed up their pace again, otherwise the secret passage didn't have a self-destruct mechanism, and it wouldn't be able to stop the enemy's pursuit.

Of course, there is good news, that is, their deafness was not as serious as imagined. When they came to the so-called entrance of the tunnel, before a hard stone wall, their ears had returned to normal, although there were still some problems. Dizziness, and a little unsteady footsteps, but there is no problem in communicating.

"Where are we going next?" Wen Tonglin shook his head, shaking off the last trace of drowsiness, and asked aloud.

"Let's talk about this later, let's leave here first..." Locke didn't have time to answer his question, and touched his arms, but after touching for a long time, his face became more and more ugly.

"what happened?"

"Damn it, the key to open the secret passage is gone." Locke's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water. The key in his hand was the only key to open the secret passage. Now it is gone, which means that they will be trapped to death in the The secret path is over, and everyone must die.

"What?" Wen Tonglin was shocked: "I lost the key? Was it lost in the explosion just now?"

"..." Locke stared at Wen Tonglin suddenly, his wolf-like gaze made Wen Tonglin's heart tremble...

"You...why are you looking at me like that?" Wen Tonglin asked hesitantly, his expression suddenly changed: "You don't suspect that I stole your key, do you? I don't even know what your so-called key looks like, How can I steal your key?"

Locke said in a deep voice: "It's that jade pendant—the one I carry with me, the one that I haven't even put down in the shower, you asked me the reason before... Do you think I will let such a jade pendant Is it lost? I touched it on purpose before the explosion. It was still there, but it is gone now. From the time after the explosion to the present, the only person close to me is you, plus The situation was so chaotic back then, even I was stunned, you definitely had a chance... You said I didn't doubt who you doubted?"

"So the so-called key is that jade pendant, but I didn't steal it." Wen Tonglin said aggrievedly: "No, young master, I have been with you for so many years anyway, and I have always been diligent and conscientious. Credit also has hard work, and there is fatigue without hard work, right? In the end, you actually doubted me? Well, even if I stole your jade pendant, but tell me, what good does it do for me to steal your jade pendant? Do you want to surrender to Li Zhen? Is it? Many things that Cheng Jianxi has done over the years are all my ideas, do you think that even if I surrender to him after committing such a serious crime, will Li Zhen forgive me?"

"But what if you were Li Zhen's person from the beginning?" Locke asked back: "I have always suspected that there are spies of Li Zhen among our internal high-level officials. I have been suspicious since we moved from Nanyang to this country. Originally, I It is Zhu Yundao who is suspicious, but your performance today makes me think you are more likely. And why did our cannon explode? Isn’t it because of your hands and feet in it? You must know whether it is maintenance or cannon handling, But it's all led by you...you have enough time to manipulate the cannon."

"You are really hopeless, do you know what you are talking about?" Wen Tonglin changed color suddenly: "If I were Li Zhen's person, how could I do those inhumane things? I have done it myself several times to put viruses... Don't even think about it, if I am a spy, if I leak something casually, you will be killed by me long ago, why should I wait until now? "

"Young master, don't talk nonsense with him. The shout of killing is very close, and the enemy is about to come in. Brothers can't stop it for long." At this time, Locke's guard commander Luo Ruliang suddenly interrupted: "As for Wen Whether Mr. Tong has stolen the jade pendant, can't we find out by searching his body?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can search me, but if nothing is found in the end, I hope you can give me an explanation." Wen Tonglin was very sad and angry, as if he had been greatly insulted, However, this is also human nature. Anyone who works conscientiously for the Lord will be suspected of being a spy at a critical moment, and will face the situation of being searched, but anyone with a little bit of integrity will feel ashamed, let alone Wen Tonglin is still a high-ranking scholar, which is even more humiliating to him.

"Stop searching." Stopping Luo Ruliang who was about to go forward to search, Locke said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, you should have thrown that jade pendant in the middle of the way... After all, your mission Just to catch us instead of looking for the secret path, even if this secret path is not found by you in the end, it should be indifferent to you, right?"

"I...you really don't make any sense when you say that." Wen Tonglin was furious. You said that I was a spy, but you didn't search me when I asked you to. To put it bluntly, you were purely suspicious, and there was no reason for that Suspect.

Wen Tonglin was about to vomit blood, and looked at Luo Ruliang: "Luo Ruliang, come and judge, do you think the young master's suspicion is reasonable? Do I look like a spy?"

"This..." Luo Ruliang, the commander of the guards, looked at Wen Tonglin and then at Locke. After looking back and forth three or four times, he said to Wen Tonglin with a little apology: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, although I am very Believe in you, but I still have to listen to the young master. Since the young master says you are a spy, then I can't let you run away...Young master, whether Mr. Wen doesn't want to be a spy, let's control him first Well, check it slowly after we are safe, if he is a spy in the end, that's all, but if not, I am willing to use my life to apologize to Mr. Wen."

"That should be the case." Locke finally laughed, after all, he was his confidant, and he would still turn to him at critical moments.

In the dispute just now, in fact, no matter how loud the two of them shouted, it was useless. On the contrary, Luo Ruliang's position is the most important. After all, Luo Ruliang currently has the strongest strength. Dozens of capable little brothers.Regardless of whether it is Locke and Wen Tonglin, although they are not ignorant of martial arts, they are only proficient in fists and feet, and they have more than enough self-preservation. They are not at all sure of catching each other. Only by gaining Luo Ruliang's trust can they achieve their goals. The purpose - to be caught or not to be caught.

"Mr. Wen, I offended you." Luo Ruliang took out the rope and gave Wen Tonglin a sorry look.

"Forget it, you tie me up." Wen Tonglin stretched out his hands helplessly, and at the same time threatened unwillingly: "But you remember what happened today, and when my suspicion is cleared one day, don't forget today As I said, if it turns out that I am innocent, I will definitely pursue this matter today to the end."

Chapter 167 Doubt (2)

"Don't worry, if Mr. Wen is innocent, let alone apologizing, it's okay to ask me to apologize to Mr. Wen with my death." Luo Ruliang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Wen Tonglin would resist just now, not because he was worried about beating him. However, although Wen Tonglin was good at punching, he was still far behind him.What he was worried about was that if Wen Tonglin resisted, it would prove that Wen Tonglin had a guilty conscience and confirmed his identity as a spy—he really didn't want to see that the identity of Mr. Wen, whom he had always respected the most, suddenly changed and became an enemy who placed himself in his place. Spies within.

"Brother Wen, I've wronged you." Locke couldn't help but muttered when he saw that Wen Tonglin was restrained. Could it be that his guess was wrong?Isn't Wen Tonglin really a spy?

"Forget it, it's already at this time, is it interesting to say such things again?" Wen Tonglin waved his hand, feeling even more sad in his heart. He has followed Locke for nearly ten years. In his youth, he devoted himself to Cheng Jianxi, but in the end he only got such a result, which made Wen Tonglin feel extremely sad—it was said that the cunning rabbit was dead, and Locke hadn't won the world yet, so he was ready to attack himself... ...But I do know a little more...

"Let's go..." Locke didn't look at Wen Tonglin again, but when he turned around, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes—whether Wen Tonglin was a spy or not in the end, he would die, and what he said today must have chilled Wen Tonglin's heart Well, even if it turns out that he is not a spy in the end, if he is treated like this by him today, will Wen Tonglin still do his best to serve him after being rehabilitated?

This is definitely impossible. If I were myself, I wouldn't do this, let alone be of one mind with myself. It would be great if Wen Tonglin didn't betray him right away.And a person who knows most of his secrets but doesn't agree with him, what's the use of staying?Of course it was killed.

However, although Locke had murderous intentions towards Wen Tonglin, he still planned to take Wen Tonglin away together. This kind of time is not the time to kill people, otherwise even Luo Ruliang would feel chilling towards him.

"Where are you going?" Wen Tonglin asked subconsciously. I lost the keys to the secret passage, so where can I go?Are you going to ride a hot air balloon?This might also be a good idea.

"Although the key is lost, there is still a branch secret passage in my room, which can also be connected to the secret passage. It is to prevent the main passage of the secret passage from being blocked and we have no way to escape. This secret passage is I dug it myself, and no one knows about it except me." Locke explained that he really took things to the extreme, and even Luo Ruliang didn't know that Locke actually dug a small secret road to connect with the main line secret road. .

"...It turns out that this is the case. The young master is planning ahead, and his subordinates admire him." Wen Tonglin looked around, and sure enough, this place is not far from Locke's residence, only a distance of more than 30 meters. It only takes about ten days for one person. , can completely socks.

"Hehe..." Locke laughed twice, and just about to say a few polite words, his complexion suddenly changed, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother Wen, it seems that I really misunderstood you, and I am here to apologize to you..."

"Huh?" Wen Tonglin was very surprised, he was so stubborn just now, why did he become like this now?Quickly looking in the direction of Locke's gaze, his face also changed, and saw that in front of Locke's room, a group of people were standing there with weapons in their hands, and their attire clearly belonged to the guards of Chengjianxi's headquarters. Allegiance to Locke is still required.

But at this time, where do these people look at Locke with a trace of loyalty?What they may even see is not their former young master at all, but a large pile of gold, silver and jewels - all this happened because of the promise made to them by the person in front of them: His Royal Highness ordered to capture him alive Locke, rewarded with a thousand silver coins, appointed officials and worshiped nobles, rich and prosperous, and three generations of descendants have no worries.

"Little Zhuge, so it's you?" Wen Tonglin yelled sharply, because he knew the person standing at the front of the group of guards. This person was Zhu Yundao mentioned by Locke before. He was nicknamed Xiao Zhuge. It can be seen that this is a very smart person, and in fact it is true. This Zhu Yundao is not inferior to Wen Tonglin in terms of wisdom, but Zhu Yundao is in charge of external affairs, which is completely opposite to Locke's internal affairs.

But what Locke and Wen Tonglin never imagined was that this person who was extremely respected by Cheng Jianxi from top to bottom would be the enemy's spy, and he had developed so many things in Cheng Jianxi without knowing it. People, but I and others don't know anything... Such a person is simply terrifying.

"No, no, no, I think you have misunderstood." Zhu Yundao raised his index finger and swayed from side to side, revealing his golden teeth: "My nickname is not Xiao Zhuge... Thanks to the praise of the brothers on the road, my nickname It's called Big Gold Tooth, and people in the world call it Lord Jin... As for the nickname of Little Zhuge...isn't it too shameful? I have never admitted to this nickname given to me."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yundao's expression became serious, and he became much more formal: "Let me introduce myself formally. I am Zhu Yundao, code-named Poison Moth, and I belong to the 'Moth' organization under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Li Zhen of the Tang Dynasty."

That's right, Zhu Yundao is the big golden tooth, and it is also the poisonous moth among moths. At the beginning, Li Zhen inserted him into Chengjianxi, but it was more than ten years ago. Li Zhen has not come to Lingnan yet, of course he She didn't know about the existence of Cheng Jianxi, but at that time Li Zhen had already determined that her destination was Lingnan, so she asked the Xuelongwei Foreign Affairs Office to investigate the Nanyang investigation, and found some clues.

At that time, Zhu Yundao's whole family was infected with typhoid fever, and they were almost burned to death in the house by the villagers. It was a doctor under Li Zhen's command who saved his family. In order to be grateful, Zhu Yundao voted for Li Zhen and offered his support to Li Zhen. Li Zhen revealed her former identity - she was actually one of the cronies and staff of Xi Wang Li Jiancheng in the past. At that time, less than ten years had passed since the Xuanwumen Incident. Does Yu Nian still have deep vigilance, which makes it impossible for Zhu Yundao's identity to appear on the public face, let alone be an official. Li Zhen didn't want the pearl to be dusted, so she arranged for him to enter the moth. And arranged him into Nanyang.

Chapter 1221 Zhu Yundao

Chapter 168: Zhu Yundao

It's just that when Zhu Yundao went to Nanyang, he found traces of Li Jiancheng's activities. With the help of Li Zhen, and after a series of complicated arrangements and coincidences, he successfully sneaked into Chengjianxi, and then lurked, completely and Li Zhen broke contact, and apart from a special mark for emergency contact, there was not even a communication informant between the two.

During this period, Zhu Yundao also devoted himself to planning and contributing to Cheng Jianxi, and even designed to take down several branches of the Blood Dragon Guard and the hidden stakes of the Baiqi Division of the Tang Dynasty, gradually gaining the approval of Cheng Jianxi, and Gradually he became the senior executive of Chengjianxi, became the elder of Chengjianxi's herringbone name, even as famous as Wen Tonglin, known as the Sword of Jianxi, and his status was only in Locke, the elder of Tianzihao Ximen De (the head of the intelligence organization) and the local name Under the elder Wen Tonglin, Cheng Jianxi's No. [-] figure is properly called Xiao Zhuge - of course, this nickname Zhu Yundao will not admit, it is too low, and there is no sincerity at all.

After obtaining the high-level status, Zhu Yundao began to be in charge of Cheng Jianxi's foreign affairs department, and at the beginning of the great voyage a few years ago, because of an unexpected transaction, he had a second identity—that is, Coconut Port A broker in the black market has become the golden master respected by everyone in the underworld.

It was at this time that he fell into Li Zhen's eyes again, and then the scene at the naval base and the big cleansing of the black market in Yedao appeared.
