Douluo: My princess is undercover

Chapter 80 Traitor

In the meeting hall, there were a total of seventeen or eight people wearing armor standing. These people were the main generals of Zilin Pass.

"The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to adjust the defense layout in the pass." Ximen Zhan sat down at the main seat and then spoke. While speaking, he kept his eyes on everyone.

Sure enough, after hearing Ximen Zhan's words, one person in the crowd showed an unnatural expression. This person's name was Qin Yuan, and he was a relative of the Ximen family. He was responsible for the defense of the left wing of Zilin Pass.

Although the strangeness on Qin Yuan's face disappeared for a moment, Ximen Zhan and Xue Haochen still caught it, but they were not sure, so they did nothing.

"Both wings of Zilin Pass are top priorities and must not be lost. The two generals who lost the battle need to make immediate corrections to avoid a surprise attack from the Star Luo Empire," Ximen Zhan said again.

"Marshal, isn't this inappropriate? Now the Star Luo Empire's armies are gathering in front of us. If we spread too many troops and station them on both wings, what should we do if the enemy forces attack? I object." After hearing the battle at Ximen, Qin Yuan couldn't help but retorted.

At this time, Ximen Zhan had basically confirmed that Qin Yuan was the traitor, and the anger in his heart also soared sharply, because the city of Zilin Pass was high and deep, and if he wanted to break through from the front, even Dai Tianci would not be able to do it in a short time!

"Come here! Capture Qin Yuan for me!"Ximen Zhan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and immediately slapped Qin Yuan. As a strong man at the Soul Douluo level, even if he was injured, it was not a problem to take down Qin Yuan, a low-level soul saint.

In terms of identity, Qin Yuan is Ximen Zhan's cousin-in-law. It is for this reason that he is even more angry. If it is not handled properly, he may even involve the entire Ximen family!You must know that this is a serious crime of treason!Be punished!

"Marshal, what crime did I commit? You are abusing lynching, and I will not accept it!"Qin Yuan, who was detained by the guards, roared. Although he had already made a guess in his heart, he still had a chance.

This sudden change puzzled a dozen other generals, but they didn't say anything. Following Ximen Zhan for more than ten years, they naturally understood Ximen Zhan's character. Although Ximen Zhan could not be said to love his soldiers like his own son, he definitely did not. He would abuse lynching, and he would not attack his senior generals without any reason.

"Hmph! Qin Yuan, you know exactly what you are doing. Tens of thousands of troops from the Star Luo Empire appeared on our left flank! How dare you do such a treasonous thing? What crime do you deserve?"Ximen Zhan said angrily that if he had to choose between family ties and the empire, he would choose the interests of the empire without hesitation.

"You are slanderous! Marshal, what evidence do you have? I will definitely report this matter to the head of the family and His Majesty"!Hearing this, Qin Yuan's face turned pale, but he was still making the final struggle.

"Unfortunately, the tens of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire were witnessed by my own eyes. As a senior general in charge of the left wing, even if you had not leaked the military information, you would still be guilty of dereliction of duty." Seeing Qin Yuan's stubborn mouth, he said Xue Haochen also spoke.

"Put Qin Yuan in prison and keep him under strict supervision! No one is allowed to come near without my order! When the war is over, I will go to the capital in person to meet with His Majesty"!Finally, Ximen Zhan ordered.

Qin Yuan knew that he was in trouble this time. If he fell into the hands of other Ximen family members, he might still have room for maneuver. Now if he fell into the hands of Ximen Zhan, he would definitely die!Not to mention that Xue Haochen was also present.

Ximen Zhan is an upright man, and he is even more loyal to Emperor Xueye. If something like this happens, even if the head of the Ximen family, Ximen Ba, comes to visit in person, it won't work!

Although Ximen Ba was the commander of the Polu Army, he could not stop Ximen Zhan, because Ximen Zhan was a general personally appointed by Emperor Xueye and had independent authority to command the troops.

The rest of the generals were shocked when they heard Ximen Zhan's words. There was no joke in the army. This matter should not be false. I am afraid that the enemy has really sneaked into the hinterland of Zilin Pass!

Thinking of this, they were all very anxious. If the enemy launched a surprise attack from two different directions, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Marshal, I don't know how we should respond next"?At this time, a middle-aged man wearing armor spoke.

This man has the appearance of a scholar. If he took off his armor, no one would think that he was a battle-experienced general.

However, people should not be judged by their appearance. The killing aura emanating from him was no weaker than that of the people present, and his strength was also inferior, possessing soul power close to the Contra level.

"Qin Yuan has most likely leaked our defense deployment to the enemy, and I have decided to make adjustments immediately." Ximen Zhan said helplessly. After dawn, the Xingluo Empire's army will arrive. They have only time left now. Not much more.

Everyone calmed down quickly. As senior generals, they were not useless idlers. Naturally, they knew that the more urgent the situation, the less likely they were to act on their own.

Xue Haochen on the side nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that there is a reason why Zilin Pass can withstand the Xingluo Empire's army. The city of Zilin Pass is high and deep. If the defenders are all idiots, it will not help. !

"Marshal, time is too short. We have no time to mobilize troops from other places, so I suggest that we first mobilize some troops from the front to establish a defense line on the left wing," one of the generals said.

"Okay! Since you all have no other opinions, it's settled. You go down and prepare," Ximen Zhan said.

There are about 14 defenders in Zilin Pass. Even if half of them are transferred to defend the left wing, it will be no problem. The remaining people can use the strong city to keep away the hundreds of thousands of Star Luo Empire's troops!

Although the current situation is not optimistic, it is not easy for the Star Luo Empire to break through the Purple Scale Pass in a short period of time. After all, in this era, there are no soul-guided cannons with huge lethality. At most, there are only catapults and heavy-duty catapults. Siege equipment such as crossbows.

"General Ximen, you have to handle the matter of spies with caution. If the city gate is lost and Father is blamed, we will all be miserable," Xue Haochen reminded.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Qin Yuan was the mastermind. Now that he has been arrested, what worries Xue Haochen is that someone is supporting him. In this way, the hidden dangers will be infinitely magnified.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness," Ximen Zhan said. Even if Xue Haochen didn't say anything, he would get to the bottom of it. After all, when two armies are facing each other, the most taboo thing is internal problems.

"Marshal, it's bad, General Qin is dead." At this moment, the two guards responsible for guarding Qin Yuan ran in with panic and reported.

"What! What do you do for food? What's going on?"Upon hearing the news, Ximen Zhan slapped the table and said angrily.

He ordered that no one should approach Qin Yuan, just to prevent someone from committing murder and silence. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing still happened.
