Above the demon tower, the fierce battle is over.
Seeing the tragic scene in which both the secret agent of Jinzouyuan and the divine catcher were both injured, Sima Xin's government guards were still trembling with fear and fear.
"Hey," at this time, they heard Sima Xin greeting them, "you guys, come with us quickly!"
He turned around and saw Sima Xin walking quickly downstairs with Xu Zhen and others. Xu Zhen was supporting his old mother Lianji, while Dongfang Meiyan was protecting her.
Upon hearing the greeting, several government guards glanced at each other first, and after confirming something, they all followed.
Before leaving, one of the guards glanced around. When he saw clearly that the secret agents and detectives who entered the hospital had suffered heavy casualties and were no longer capable of fighting, he turned and left...
…
A quarter of an hour later, purple flames suddenly erupted from the Demon House kitchen.
Several government guards guarding the door suddenly widened their eyes and were extremely shocked.
It turned out that although they were guarding the door, they had been observing what was going on inside through the crack in the door. No one thought that Taizu Li Xuanzhen's Purple Flame Sword would suddenly appear here!
After seeing the Purple Flame Knife, the guards could no longer remain calm, and several of them exchanged glances as quickly as possible.
One of the guards named Qin Ping first nodded vigorously to express his understanding, then walked away from the door and jumped onto the backyard wall.
This man was very good at lightness, passing through houses, and soon turned into a hidden alley.
An old beggar lay among the rubbish in the alley.
Qin Ping immediately stepped forward and reported everything that happened in the Demon Tower to the old beggar.
After hearing this, the old beggar suddenly rushed out of the garbage heap and asked Qin Ping in great shock: "What did you say? Purple Flame Sword!!? Then...how is this possible?"
"I've seen it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true!" Qin Ping said excitedly, "Fang Wubing is so cunning. It turns out that he found the sword long ago and entrusted it to an old brothel madam!"
"But, he hid the sword..." The old beggar looked incredulous, "Why... why didn't he give it to the emperor?"
"How did I know," Qin Ping said, "Anyway, the sword has appeared, so you'd better hurry up! If it's too late, you won't have a chance!"
"But," the old beggar said in a dilemma, "the incident happened suddenly and we haven't reported it to the master yet!"
"How can that be done?" Qin Ping asked anxiously, "Now there is only Dongfang Meiyan left. As long as we kill her, we can get the sword. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we let the Shenzhen Division and the people from Jinzouyuan If you calm down, then..."
"Okay." The old beggar made up his mind, "If that's the case, then I'll gather all the people now!"
As he spoke, he had already taken out the sounding arrow from his waist.
"Okay," Qin Ping said, "You go grab the sword, and I'll report to the master! I don't have to go back anyway, and it doesn't matter whether I'm exposed or not! Oh, this is an unexpected surprise," he rubbed his hands excitedly Said, "If we can seize the sword, then we will have a great achievement! We will be prosperous in the future..."
The old beggar was so excited that he quickly lit the arrow with a fire and shot it high into the sky!
Seeing the loud arrow being shot, Qin Ping rushed out of the alley without further delay to report to his master.
However, little did he know that on a towering rooftop in the distance, a pair of eyes had already been fixed on him...
…
Time turns back to the present.
The backyard of the demon house.
Sima Xin was holding his sword, trembling with anger:
"They have been with me for so many years, and many of them were brought back from the southwest battlefield. They... they all became traitors, there is not a single one left! Don't stop me, I will kill them, kill them ,ah……"
At this moment, Sima Xin's traitor men had already been captured by the Divine Catcher Division and imprisoned in a certain room in the Demon Tower.
Although Dongfang Meiyan saw Sima Xin's excited performance, she remained indifferent and just assigned tasks to the agents:
"We don't know how many enemies there are. This place is still in danger. You should be vigilant and ambush. If you find any suspicious persons, arrest them on the spot..."
"Yes." The detectives immediately split up and acted.
"Lord Sima, Lord Sima..." Xu Zhen saw that Dongfang Meiyan was not accommodating, so he had to symbolically stop Sima Xin and advised, "It would be a bad thing to have traitors, but if you kill them, you will There’s no way you can let them prove your innocence!”
Sima Xin naturally knew the stakes and was just pretending. When he heard Xu Zhen's dissuasion, he quickly got off the slope and put down his saber.
"Oh," he said helplessly, "how could this happen? Who on earth instigated all my men to rebel? Am I that important?"
"Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan complained slightly reproachfully even though she was still in a high state of excitement, "that Qin Ping ran away. I should have not listened to you at that time, and should have followed him."
"Of course not," Xu Zhen said solemnly, "I said, Qin Ping clearly went out to report the news, so he and his contact person are naturally on high alert. Once we find someone following us, we will lose everything! "
"Yes, you are right," Dongfang Meiyan pinched her waist and said, "It would be great if I could go out at that time and follow him to see who is the mastermind behind them!"
"Well," Xu Zhen said, "Actually, as for the person behind the scenes, I have already..."
As a result, before Xu Zhen finished speaking, he saw two detectives carrying Lian Ji's body out of the kitchen.
Seeing this, several spies who entered the hospital immediately gathered around him. When they found out that the deceased was indeed Lian Ji, they all looked sad and questioning.
Lian Ji is the manager of the Demon House and the superior of the spies, so the relationship is naturally close.
Moreover, the spies all knew that this was a trap set for the enemy. Since it was a trap, how could Lian Ji die?
However, upon closer inspection of the corpse, the dead person in front of him was indeed the old mother Lian Ji.
However, the fatal wound on her chest was not a crossbow arrow, but a flying knife!
"Oh, it's all my fault for not protecting me well," Dongfang Meiyan blamed herself. "I just rushed out to kill the enemy, but I didn't protect my old mother. The enemy who rushed in took advantage of the loophole. Oh, it's all my fault..."
At this time, another police officer dragged out the corpse of an enemy from the kitchen, indicating that the old mother was killed by this person.
"Old mother Lianji sacrificed her life for the country, and her loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon," Dongfang Meiyan said, "I will personally report it to the Holy Emperor and commend her. All my colleagues who entered the Academy have also done a great job. I They will also report it truthfully..."
After all, the spies were leaderless. Although they had doubts, they could only temporarily obey Dongfang Meiyan's arrangements.
After they carried the body away, Dongfang Meiyan had already impatiently pulled Xu Zhen aside and asked excitedly:
"Xu Zhen, what did you just say? Do you already know who is behind the scenes? Tell me, who is it?"
"Oh, I sent my companions to sneak around us before," Xu Zhen said in a low voice, "It happened that she was eyeing Qin Ping. She found out that Qin Ping went there after leaving the Demon Tower..."
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen still didn't finish his words this time when he saw Detective Jing Liangfei running over.
"The Oriental God," Jing Liang reported hurriedly, "There is a situation outside! Here... someone is coming!"
"Huh?" Dongfang Meiyan was startled suddenly. Through her keen hearing, she had already heard the noisy sounds coming from outside.
Judging by the sound, there was more than one person coming outside.
As a result, it is not that there is more than one person, but “more than one person.”
In the blink of an eye, a heavily armed army rushed in from outside!
The vast team numbered hundreds of people.
But I saw that the soldiers were all in bright armor, some were holding shields and spears, and some were carrying crossbows and arrows. As soon as they rushed into the demon tower, they were well-trained and surrounded the entire demon tower.
Looking at the momentum, it seems that not even a fly can fly out of the demon tower.
"This..." Sima Xin was the first to recognize that these soldiers were none other than the city defense team of Daguan City.
Since they are the city defense team, they are naturally one of their own, and Sima Xin immediately felt relieved.
However, Xu Zhen's next words made Sima Xin's heart, which had just been relieved, reach his throat again.
"Sister Meiyan," Xu Zhen said helplessly as he shrugged his shoulders, "It seems that I don't need to tell you who the mastermind behind the scenes is, because - he is already here..."
