A group of soldiers, led by Lu He and Qin Lang, surrounded the area where the team leader lived.

Then the two captains under the commander-in-chief came out in full uniform.

They didn't know what was going on either.

Zhuge Tian looked outside and sighed: "What a big game! It's so hard to make some money."

Then he glanced at Yu Jin and said, "We have to join forces now to have a chance."

Yu Jin looked unhappy, but he could only nod his head to show his agreement.

Zhuge Tian, ​​Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and Yu Jin walked out.

"You commanders arrived so quickly! I just found Zhao Si's killer and you're here!"

After going out, Zhuge Tian flashed and revealed Yu Jin behind him.

Yu Jin: “…”

What about the promised collaboration?

Then Zhuge Tian stood aside and watched the show.

As for joining forces...

I was originally doing well as an undercover agent, and all three of us have gotten into good positions.

If Yu Jin hadn't used Zhao Si's corpse to frame him, how could he have been imprisoned in the dungeon?

I was also forced to investigate the real murderer.

"Oh? He's the real murderer?" Lu He asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"There's a bruise on Zhao Si's left cheek, where someone pinched it. If you put your hand on it, you can see that the ring finger is missing a section, which is exactly where this person..."

"Didn't Zhao Si's body disappear?"

"It's not missing. In fact, Zhao Si's body is on the beam where the bodies were stored."

Lu He winked at someone next to him, and that person was about to leave with a few people.

"It would be better to bring the body of the other deceased as well!"

Zhuge Tian shouted to several people.

Those people looked at Lu He, and only turned around again after Lu He nodded.

"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?" Yu Jin stared at Zhuge Tian and asked in a low voice.

"Well... you can try it. I'm quite looking forward to it..." Zhuge Tian showed Yu Jin his harmless smile.

"Hmph... Zi Lian told me long ago that you were the most insidious and cunning person. I didn't expect that I would still fall into your hands."

Soon, Zhao Si's body was found, and another body was brought in as well.

After two days of rest, Zhao Si's face became even paler, and the bruise on his left cheek became more obvious.

"It's you!" Qin Lang waved his hand and said, "Take them all down."

"Wait..." Zhuge Tian raised his lips and said, "Second Commander, we have made great contributions in tracking down the murderer, why do you want to arrest us all as well?"

"Humph, you, Xu Shu, and Liao Hua have clearly known each other for a long time, yet you concealed your identities and joined our army. You clearly have some ulterior motive. It won't be too late to interrogate you slowly after we capture you!"

"Grand Marshal, if you want to arrest us, how about you wait until I finish explaining this murder case?"

Lu He glanced at Zhuge Tian and said to Qin Lang, "They can't escape. Let's see what he has to say."

“…” Qin Lang finally nodded.

"This story has to start with the gold mine..."

Before Zhuge Tian finished speaking, he saw Lu He and Qin Lang's faces change. He quickly said, "Two commanders, listen to me. You can't hide this!"

Lu He and the other man looked at each other, but their hands were already on the swords at their waists.

This was their biggest secret, but it was revealed by Zhuge Tian in front of so many people.

Lu He had already begun to regret not taking Zhuge Tian and the others down directly.

But now that it has been exposed, let's hear what this person has to say.

"Because I see that your monthly expenses for recruiting soldiers, as well as their salaries, food, and equipment, exceed 800,000 strings of cash."

"The total expenses for the last three months are 257 kan. And your total income for the year is only 6724 kan. Even including last year's income, it's not enough to cover your expenses for these three months."

"Anyone who does the math will know that with such a huge gap between income and expenses, you must have other sources of income."

"And it's other income in the millions. Combined with the rumors about you having a gold mine, it's not hard to guess!"

Zhuge Tian confidently presented these data word by word.

After hearing this, Lu He and Qin Lang sighed. It seemed to be true.

Liao Hua whispered to Zhuge Tian, ​​"Han Xing, you're so amazing! How do you know these expenses so accurately?"

Zhuge Tian still had a smile on his face, and squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth: "Guess!"

The smile on Liao Hua's face froze. Could this be... guessed?

In fact, Zhuge Tian was in Liu Xie's tent that day and just glanced at the account book on Liu Xie's desk.

how to say?

Perhaps if it weren't for the level of Tilanqiao, no one would be able to understand the mess of this Shanyue army.

In this case, Zhuge Tian made up some data roughly according to the above.

Now if you ask him to do it again, he can't guarantee that he can do it the same way as he just said.

Unfortunately, Lu He and Qin Lang suffered from their lack of education and actually believed it.

"So, what does this have to do with the gold mine?"

Since the truth had been revealed, Lu He stopped pretending and asked directly.

"The story begins with our suspect number one!" Zhuge Tian pointed at Yu Jin.

"This person has been in this army for a long time, right?"

"Yes, about two months!" Lu He replied.

"Well, for more than two months, this guy has been going out early and coming back late, hiding during the day and going out at night, getting up early and going to bed late... Finally, he discovered the location of the gold mine."

"But what a coincidence! I haven't found out who Zhao Si's subordinate was. What he was doing that night, but it was Zhao Si who discovered the location of the gold mine."

"We probably all know all this!" Qin Lang interrupted Zhuge Tian: "Aren't you going to tell me who the second murderer is?"

"Huh? Why is the Second Commander so anxious again?" Zhuge Tian looked at Qin Lang. "Just now, after the Commander returned, he hurriedly brought people to silence us. Now it's clearly you who killed the second person, why are you so anxious to ask?"

"What did you say?" Qin Lang glared at Zhuge Tian: "That's nonsense!"

After saying that, he was about to draw his sword and order someone to go up and chop Zhuge Tian down.

But as soon as he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, Lu He reached out and held it down.

"Let's hear what else he has to say."

Zhuge Tian nodded at Lu He and said, "Actually, you recruited more than this number of soldiers, right? Originally, there were around 2,000, and then you recruited another 2,000."

"The total number should be over 4,000, but there are only a little over 3,000 in this military camp. And the remaining 1,000... should have been sent to mine, right?"

"There's also a group of soldiers under the two commanders who haven't been in the camp for a long time. They're actually guarding the gold mine, right?"

"But..." Zhuge Tian looked at Qin Lang and then at Lu He: "The Grand Marshal doesn't seem as impatient as the Second Marshal."

"The Grand Marshal has always wanted to store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king!"

After Zhuge Tian finished speaking, Lu He was stunned.

This was what he thought. He didn’t expect that this person understood him so well!

"The same should be true for the development and excavation of gold mines."

"But the Second Grand Marshal was a bit impatient. So he thought of a way to force the First Grand Marshal."

"The dead man..." Zhuge Tian pointed at the second dead man and said, "The military advisor said he was a soldier from the Grand Marshal's squad."

"And one team is responsible for guarding the gold mines for a long time."

"He died in the military camp. It's very likely that the location of the gold mine has been leaked."

"Surrounded by numerous enemies, the Grand Marshal can only speed up the excavation of gold mines and increase the speed of expanding his forces in order to protect these things."

Lu He looked at Qin Lang, who nodded helplessly: "Brother, look at Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Wen Ze who killed Zhao Si. They were obviously sent by various forces."

"We really don't have time, so I resorted to this last resort!"

"Ah!" Lu He sighed, looked at the Shanyue army camp, and said, "At this point, we can only follow your method."

"Let's retreat to the vicinity of the gold mine, dig as much as we can, and then... we can plan for the aftermath!"

Even though they are doing well now, that's because Sun Ce doesn't have the time to deal with them.

Otherwise, with just a few thousand soldiers, they would not be enough to defeat Sun Ce.

As for the other Shanyue troops, although they are all called Shanyue, they actually have their own ulterior motives.

It's good enough that they don't try to trip me up in secret. It's unrealistic to expect them to help me in times of need.

This gold mine is a hot potato. It is obviously impossible to keep it now, so we can only take as much as we can.

"Go ahead, kill them all... leave no one alive!"

Lu He drew his sword and pointed it at Zhuge Tian and his men.

Zhuge Tian sighed: "Why is Yuanzhi so slow?"

After saying this, he looked at Yu Jin and said, "Wen Ze, we have to join forces to fight him now!"

Yu Jin: “…”

Five people were surrounded in the middle, and one of them was the one who started chasing Zhuge Tian with Yu Jin.

This person is obviously also a small leader.

The other small leaders drew their swords and fought against each other.

Yu Jin looked at the man in front of him and grinned, "Zhang Jun and Zhang He of Jizhou! You don't think they'll let you go after they've captured us, do you?"

"This person... is Zhang He?" Zhuge Tian widened his eyes.

Then he whispered to Liao Hua, "Who is Zhang He working for now?"

"Yuan Shao's." Liao Hua answered in a low voice.

"You!!" Zhang He's identity was exposed and he glared at Yu Jin.

"And over there." The man next to Yu Jin shouted to the man confronting Liao Hua, "Good morning, Sun Lang, Sun from Jiangdong! Your brother Sun Ce sent you here, didn't he? Did he send you here to die?"

"Hmph! Xu Gongming! The battle in Xu County still hasn't been decided. Are you looking for death today?"

"Sun Lang? Xu Gongming...Xu Huang?"

Then Liu Xie actually came over and said, "Cao Xing has met Prince Hanxing. When Prince Hanxing was treating our lord, he saw him from afar."

Now, Zhuge Tian finally understood why Liu Xie... no, it should be Cao Xinghui helped him in the beginning.

This guy was actually sent by Lu Bu.

He was considered to have done Lu Bu a favor, and their Wolong Village could not be considered a force, and there was no conflict of interest between them and Lu Bu.

It makes sense if the other party helps me.

Lu He and Qin Lang looked at the scene in a daze.

Cao Xing, the military advisor of their Shanyue army, was actually Lu Bu's man!

The leader of the two-man team is not here, guarding the gold mine.

The two team leaders of the second team were beside them.

But the two even began to doubt whether the two small leaders of the second team were undercover agents!

Zhang He (Yuan Shao's army), captain of Lü He's third team; Yu Jin (Cao Cao's army), captain of Qin Lang's third team.

Xu Huang (Cao Cao's army), captain of Lu He's fourth team; Sun Lang (Sun Ce's army), captain of Qin Lang's fourth team.

Zhao Yun, captain of Lu He's fifth team, and Liao Hua, captain of Qin Lang's fifth team.

In addition to Zhao Yun and Liao Hua, those people also had a few close confidants, who also gathered around at this time.

Zhuge Tian smiled strangely and looked at Lu He and Qin Lang: "You two, so everyone here except you two is an undercover agent!"

Zhuge Tian's words were like steel needles piercing their hearts.

I originally thought that I had recruited a lot of capable people.

I didn’t expect that these people were actually... all fucking undercover agents!

To use Zhuge Tian's words to describe it, the two of them are now in a state of panic!

"Go, go!" Qin Lang's eyes were red: "Kill them all!"

"Don't leave any one alive, kill them all!"

"No, just killing them isn't enough! I'm going to hang them all in a gold mine!"

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

The two had thought that there would be spies coming here, but they never thought that they were surrounded by spies.

The Yamayue troops, loyal to the two men, slowly advanced with their weapons in hand.

"Bah!" Zhang He spat on the ground. "Yu Wenzhe, you would actually do something so detrimental to others and yourself!"

"We might all die here!"

They are all considered powerful generals of the time, but this is after all the enemy's camp.

There were only more than thirty of them, while the other side had more than three thousand!

And although Lu He and Qin Lang seemed to have lost their minds, they still knew that Zhuge Tian and the others might want to take them down as bargaining chips.

So after the soldiers pressed forward, the two men retreated far away.

"If you delay any longer, our reinforcements will arrive soon."

Zhuge Tian spoke.

At this time, we really have no choice but to unite.

Although I don’t know why Gan Ning, Xu Shu and others arrived much later than the scheduled time.

But he believed that they would definitely bring people to pick them up.

Even if there were only 500 people, it would be enough to deal with these ragtag Shanyue troops.

Hearing that reinforcements were coming, several people were cheered up.

In terms of martial arts value, except for Sun Lang and Cao Xing whose martial arts values ​​are a little lower, the others can basically rank in the top 50 in the Three Kingdoms.

And even though they had never cooperated in the past, at this time only one person needed to guard one position.

In addition, the barracks where these team leaders originally lived were built with bricks and stones, not the kind of tents set up on the ground.

Using these barracks as cover meant that the number of Shanyue troops that could attack was not large.

In just a few moments, two circles of corpses fell in front of them.

Unfortunately, most of the people here are elite soldiers directly under the two commanders. Although they are a little afraid, it has not reached the point where they will be defeated.

In addition, Zhao Yun and his companions' weapons and armor were not very good, so they were already struggling at this time.

More than half of the close followers brought by Yu Jin and others were killed or injured, and Sun Lang was injured in his arm.

If Zhao Yun hadn't stopped him just now, Cao Xing might have died.

"Boy, where are the reinforcements you mentioned?" Xu Huang asked.

At this moment, Zhuge Tian saw a red flare appear in the sky.

He grinned and pulled his flare gun from his back pocket.

"coming!"

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet you!"
