Chapter 967 The traitor planted many years ago

On Wucang Mountain to the north of Wuyuan City, Jiang Yichun led Yao Yuxuan and a group of men to search secretly, but he didn't know exactly what he was looking for or what he could find.

When he discovered this parchment in Batian Village, he felt that something was unusual and immediately sent someone to rush it back to the capital and deliver it to the emperor. The emperor happened to have a small piece of parchment in his hand, which could be better connected. The emperor found a capable person to decipher the map, and there was a point on the map right here, but was this point a real treasure? Where it is, no one can be sure.

Because the map is not just the two pieces in the emperor's hand, there should be other parts. The point marked may not be a treasure, maybe it is nothing.

After the first day, they finally found the location marked on the map, but the map was too crude. The small dot on the map represented a large area, or even several hills, so after the first day, they found nothing.

Jiang Yichun thought about chasing his wife and son, and was very anxious, but the emperor's life was on his side, and he couldn't leave until he couldn't find her.

"If this is just a random coordinate and there is nothing, wouldn't our efforts have been in vain?" Finally, Yao Yuxuan also raised a question.

Jiang Yichun thought for a while and said, "If we search carefully for three more days and there is still no result, I will go back to the capital to apologize."

Yao Yuxuan patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Jiang, don't worry, the emperor won't blame you for this senseless thing."

In the evening of the next day, when Jiang Yichun was about to order everyone to light a fire and prepare for dinner, Lightning's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed in the distance and said, "Master, look at the cave there. Is it somewhat similar in shape?"

The mouth of the cave is not round, it is round at the top and slightly diagonally opened at the bottom, just like the top horizontal line of a trapezoid becomes an arc top. And if you look closely at the icons on the parchment scroll, they also have the same shape. It's just too small, so you won't even notice it unless you pay special attention.

Jiang Yichun's face showed a look of joy, "It should be there."

Everyone was no longer in the mood for dinner and followed Jiang Yichun into the cave.

The cave seems to be naturally formed and has been partially processed by people. There are often stalactites hanging down from the top of the head, and the space is very limited. In such a seemingly natural cave, when everyone was halfway through, they suddenly encountered a trap. The torch in Jiang Yichun's hand was extinguished, and a cut was made on his arm by a hidden weapon. Fortunately, he dodged in time. , the wound is not serious.

But many of his men screamed. After the torch was relit, he found that most of his men were injured, and the parchment he was carrying was missing!

"Lightning, do a head count!" Jiang Yichun said sternly, even looking at Yao Yuxuan not far away from him more carefully.

Yao Yuxuan only had a few scratches on his clothes and looked a little embarrassed, but he was not seriously injured. He didn't seem to notice Jiang Yichun's suspicion and took the initiative to bandage Jiang Yichun's wound.

"Master, there are two people missing. There are no signs of being taken away. It seems that they left on their own." Lightning said and snorted coldly. "Someone's wounds were not injured by hidden weapons. Those two people used them to take advantage of the chaos." Hands down."

Jiang Yichun's face suddenly turned horribly cold, "We have a traitor."

Most of his men were assigned to him by the emperor. This mission was to hunt for treasures for the emperor. In order to avoid suspicion, he could not deploy too many of his own men. Only Chen Feng, Mu Yu, Lightning, Jing Lei and four other secret guards were the confidants he brought out from upstairs. However, Chen Feng and Mu Yu had been left with Bai Ruozhu, so his confidants were only those six.

Lightning didn't elaborate on who was missing, but when he took a closer look, he found that two of his secret guards were missing.

If the person sent by the emperor was missing, Ling Ling said it directly. He had already guessed the result as soon as he heard that.

He has a certain amount of power in the upstairs hall and is the leader of one of the halls, so he can use the power of the upstairs hall. And the people he brought this time are all trusted confidants. When did those two people Was he bribed?

He couldn't help but think of the time in Anyuan Town, when he was surrounded by killers and almost died. Thanks to Bai Ruozhu who saved him, he was able to escape. And that time he was betrayed by Liu Dong, the boy next to him.

Liu Dong later committed suicide by taking poison. He didn't have time to dig out any clues from Liu Dong's mouth, so he didn't know whether Liu Dong was planted by the other party at the beginning or was bribed later. But in his heart, he vaguely felt that the other party had placed Liu Dong beside him, and had even placed him there early.

And what about the two secret guards who rebelled today? Perhaps they were placed with him earlier, but he has been taking care of them for seven years!

He felt that there was a big hand in the darkness tightly grasping his famous family, and had laid out various games for him to enter. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

But he quickly adjusted and told everyone to take a brief rest before continuing forward, perhaps catching the two people who were attacking.

Everyone was very unhappy about being plotted against, and for a moment they were motivated. They were traveling very fast before, and everyone wanted to catch the two spies.

Just when they were about to enter the cave and go deep into a large cave room, they suddenly heard the sound of ping ping ping ping from inside. Jing Lei had good eyesight and soon showed joy and said: "Sure enough, God has eyes, they have encountered a trap. Now I still have too much time to take care of myself."

Jiang Yichun hurriedly made a hissing gesture to signal everyone not to move. He moved closer in a flash, and the two copper coins in his hand flew towards the two of them, reaching their knees respectively. The two of them were busy dealing with the triggering mechanism, and they couldn't avoid Jiang Yichun's copper coins at all. Their knees hurt and they couldn't help but kneel down.

As soon as the two fell down, they were immediately hit by hidden weapons shot by the machine. The one with stronger martial arts skills fell down, while the other one was shot like a hedgehog. If he hadn't had internal strength to protect his heart, he would have been seriously injured. And died.

The mechanism finally stopped, and Jiang Yichun sneered angrily, "It's good to have someone step on minefields for us. Someone come and take them down!"

Lightning and Thunder rushed over and held the two of them, quickly tapped their acupuncture points and tied them tightly.

Jing Lei was afraid that they might have poison in their teeth or bite their tongues to commit suicide, so he simply removed their jaws.

"Tell me, who put you next to me?" Jiang Yichun glared at the two of them, saying that he had wasted so many years taking care of them and treating them as his confidants.

Neither of them answered. Suddenly one of them started twitching, and then ran out of breath. Jiang Yichun couldn't save him in time, but when he looked at the other person, his body also started twitching. This time, it was Yao Yuxuan who quickly inserted the silver needle and saved the life. took his life.
