After the flying boat settled down, the hatches opened one after another, and a team of sergeants all wearing armor descended from above.
The leading armored sergeant walked up to the flying boat where Zhang Yu and others were, looked at it with great vigilance, and said loudly: "The battlefield here, everyone on the boat will come down to be inspected, and explain clearly the reason for coming here.
"
His tone was stern, but this was because he saw that the airship had mysterious cicada wing patterns on it, and it should be the airship from Qingzhou. Otherwise, he would have barged in for inspection, and would not have shouted outside at all.
The hatch of the flying boat rotated sideways, Zhang Yu walked out and stood at the hatch with a sword in his hand.
When the armored sergeant saw him, he was startled. Then he immediately clasped his fists and said with a bit of respect, "It turns out it's Zhang Xuanzang! I'm Lu Kang, the military commander under the command of Lieutenant Zhan of the Ruijie Army. I've met Zhang Xuanzang."
"
Then he asked in confusion: "Why is Xuan Zheng here?"
As a military commander in the Sharp Attack Army, he was lucky enough to witness the battle between Zhang Yu and Wang Chongjin near the Fangtai station that day, and the impression was truly profound.
But as far as he knew, the people in Xuanfu were all in the east with the main fleet, which was quite far away from here.
Zhang Yudao: "I tracked down several important people who escaped from Mizhou and blocked them here. I am now preparing to take them back."
After hearing what he said, Marquis Lu Jun hesitated to speak.
It was not difficult for Zhang Yu to see his hesitation and said: "Lu Jun is here, but what's the matter?"
Lu Junhou thought for a while, then clasped his fists, and said: "To be honest with Zhang Xuanzheng, we were actually ordered to come here to pick up someone this time. That person is a Shuangzhou person, and he made an appointment in advance to wait with me.
We met near here, so I’m guessing that the person Zhang Xuanzheng intercepted might be..."
Zhang Yu suddenly changed his mind and said, "Marquis Lu Jun, would you mind telling me who this person is?"
Marquis Lu thought about it for a while. No one asked him to keep it secret when he came. Moreover, the Mizhou War was almost over. They just gave the other party an explanation as promised in advance. There was nothing to hide here.
So he said: "This man provided us with a lot of useful information before the war started. It is said that he relied on this information to break through the fortress when attacking Mizhou and avoided many casualties.
The general also promised that he would be picked up, but we only know where to pick him up, but we don't know his specific identity."
Zhang Yu thought for a while, and if it was related to the defense of the fortress, then this person might be a master craftsman from the Mizhou Manufacturing Institute who escaped with Mr. Weng. After all, only such a person could hold such key information.
He said: "Marquis Lu, there are many secrets hidden in these people I intercepted. Our Xuan Mansion needs to interrogate first. If the people Marquis Lu said are inside and have not committed any mistakes, then
I will hand the person over to you after the incident, and when you go back now, you can directly report these words to the superiors."
Lu Junhou thought for a while, but he didn't insist. After all, he didn't have a good impression of the Shuangzhou people. He was just here under orders this time. Besides, if Zhang Yu persisted, he wouldn't be able to win from the opponent.
.
He nodded and said: "Since it was Zhang Xuanzheng who spoke, I will go back and report it to the general." After saying this, he solemnly gave Zhang Yuxing a military salute, greeted the sergeants around him, and then turned around and returned to the flying boat.
above.
Zhang Yu watched them slowly lift off in the boat, then turned back to the cabin, and signaled the pilot to continue walking back from the boat.
After the flying boat reached the sky, he sat down, looked at Master Weng and his party, and said, "Who was the person who reported the inside story to Qingyang Military Mansion before?"
There was no reaction at first, but after a while, a voice said: "It's me."
The people who came out of the Mizhou Manufacturing Institute all turned around to look, but then everyone looked in disbelief. Even Master Weng was stunned.
Master Gong stood up from his seat, and his original timid expression completely disappeared at this moment.
He originally walked with his back bent, lowered his head when looking at people and did not dare to look too much, and huddled up when he sat there. At first glance, he looked like a timid, dull and honest person.
But now as he stood up, his originally bent back slowly straightened up, and a certain light shone in his eyes.
Compared with him before, his aura was completely different, and he was almost a completely different person.
A middle-aged master craftsman opened his mouth and said: "Master Gong, you, you..."
Master Gong ignored them, walked directly to Zhang Yu, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, that person is me. I am the one who provided the information to the Qingyang Military Mansion, including every weak spot in the Mizhou fortification."
, because those places were arranged and laid out by me."
Mr. Weng stared at Mr. Gong with complicated eyes.
Only now did he realize that after decades of working together, he had never really seen this colleague clearly.
This seemingly honest and timid person turns out to be just a facade. Presumably the Master Gong standing here proudly now is his true self, right?
This can be said to have deceived everyone.
He sighed: "Brother Gong, it turns out you found a way out long ago..."
Master Gong sneered, turned around, looked at him and said: "A way out? You are wrong. I am not looking for a way out. Ever since I became a ghost, I have hated everything in Shuangzhou. I have been thinking about how to destroy it."
this place!
Do you think that this is all what I have provided to Shuangzhou? As early as I became a member of Shuangzhou, I have been trying to deliver news to the continent."
Master Weng fell silent.
Zhang Yu was about to say something when suddenly a warning sign appeared in his heart and he looked in one direction.
Just dozens of miles away, the boat that had just gone out suddenly turned the bow of the boat and pointed the muzzle of its gun at them.
Lu Junhou also noticed this unusual movement at this time. He was a little surprised at first, but then he realized something was wrong and said angrily: "What is An Zhong doing? Send a signal to him to stop!"
And just when the cannon of the airship was about to fire, a bright sword light suddenly flew out, crossed dozens of miles, penetrated into the airship, and instantly chopped the airship into countless pieces with a bang.
Seeing this scene, Marquis Lu Jun looked a little unhappy and immediately told his deputy: "Go and see how many people are still alive." After a pause, he added, "Control those who are alive."
.”
After a while, he came back from the first officer's position, saluted him and said: "Marquis, everyone on board is dead."
Lu Junhou suppressed his anger and said: "Where is An Zhong? Is An Zhong dead too?"
The deputy said: "Yes, but... the safety rate seems to be self-inflicted."
Lu Junhou turned around, looked in the direction of Zhang Yufeizhou, and said solemnly: "Let's turn back."
The first officer looked up and said urgently: "Marquis..."
Marquis Lu said in a deep voice: "I know, I have a clear mind, but there are some things I need to figure out."
Zhang Yu was still sitting in the main cabin of the flying boat and did not move at this moment, but a ray of light flew in from outside the bulkhead with a gap and landed in the scabbard of his sword.
His expression was very calm, as if nothing had happened just now, and he asked Master Gong: "Master Gong, you said you have been delivering news within the continent before?"
Master Gong glanced at the pierced gap, then at Zhang Yu, and said frankly: "Yes, over the past few decades, I have successively passed on a lot of news about Shuangzhou through different channels.
There are many important things in the continent.
But I don’t know if the news has been seen by the two Qingyang houses. After all, for my own safety, I have no way to confirm it myself."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "How did Master Gong pass it on and where did he pass it on? Do you still remember it?"
Master Gong said: "I certainly remember it, and I have recorded every piece of news."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Then when you get back, please help Master Gong sort these things out and give them to me."
Master Gong said: "Okay."
At this time, Mr. Weng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, I am willing to tell you everything I know. Although I don't know much about some things, as long as I know, I can tell Xuanzheng."
At this point, he emphasized: "Including some matters within the continent."
He also understood at this time that it was useless to negotiate conditions with Zhang Yu, and since Master Gong was here, there were some things that he did not need to get answers from him at all, so he might as well take the initiative to explain, and perhaps reduce some of the guilt he originally had to bear.
Wang Zhongping had been sitting there silently since he was subdued. At this time, his expression changed slightly and he warned: "You two, please don't talk nonsense."
Master Gong sneered, he didn't care about this at all, and said to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Xuanzheng, do you know why this person is so nervous? Because Shuangzhou Manufacturing Academy has actually been in contact with Qingyang Tianji Academy, Master Weng does know something.
Because he often travels around the continent.
It is precisely because of our good relationship with Qingyang Tianji Academy that it was so easy to ask people from the academy to prepare documents and send a flying boat to pick us up this time.
"Zhang, Zhang Xuanzheng..."
At this time, the servant driving the flying boat pointed forward and said nervously: "He, they are back again."
Zhang Yu glanced away and saw that the flying boats that had left had turned back again and sent a message asking them to suspend their flight. Knowing that they must have come because of what happened just now, he said: "Alight in front, I will
Come talk to them."
When Lu Jun saw that the flying boat in front of him landed safely on the ground, nothing happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he knew that the problem this time was probably on his side, he could not rule out the possibility.
He asked: "We will go down too."
But he never noticed that just as the airship was landing, there were suddenly several rays of light floating in the south and coming through the sky in this direction!
