After the flying boat landed, the cabin doors opened one after another, and a group of fully armored soldiers came down.
The leading armored soldier walked up to the flying boat Zhang Yu and the others were on. He looked around vigilantly and said loudly, "This is the battlefield area. Everyone on the boat, come down for inspection and explain why you are here."
His tone was rather strict, but this was because he saw that the flying boat had the Mystic Cicada Wing Pattern on it. It should be a flying boat from Qing Province, otherwise, he would have barged in to search instead of shouting outside.
The flying boat's cabin door opened to the side. Zhang Yu walked out and stood at the cabin door with a sword in hand.
When the armored soldier saw him, he couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately cupped his fist and said respectfully, "So it's Zhang Xuanzheng! I am Marquis Lu Kang of the Sharp Strike Army under Colonel Zhan. Greetings to Zhang Xuanzheng. "
Then he asked in confusion, "Why is Xuanzheng here?"
As a Marquis of the Sharp Strike Army, he was fortunate enough to witness the battle between Zhang Yu and Wang Chongjin near Fang Tai's encampment. He had a very deep impression of it.
However, as far as he knew, Xuanfu's people were all in the east with the main fleet. It was quite far from here.
Zhang Yu said, "I chased after a few important people who escaped from Mizhou and blocked them here. I am now preparing to bring them back."
When Lu Junhou heard him, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
It wasn't difficult for Zhang Yu to see his hesitation. He said, "Marquis Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Junhou thought for a while and cupped his fist again. He said, "I won't hide it from Zhang Xuanzheng. This time, we were ordered to come here to pick up someone. That person is from Shuangzhou. He arranged to meet us here in advance. Therefore, I am guessing that the person Zhang Xuanzheng intercepted might be …"
Zhang Yu changed his mind and said, "Marquis Lu, do you mind telling me the identity of this person?"
Lu Junhou pondered for a moment. When he came, no one told him to keep it a secret. Moreover, the Mishou War was almost over. They were just following their promise to give the other party an explanation. There was nothing to hide here.
So he said, "This person provided us with a lot of useful information before the war started. It is said that when we attacked Mishou, we relied on this information to break through the defenses and avoid many casualties.
The general also promised that he would find a way to get him out, but we only know the place to pick him up. We don't know his exact identity. "
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. If it was related to the defense of the fortress, then this person could very well be a master craftsman from the Mi Province Institution who escaped with Master Weng. After all, only such a person would have such crucial information.
He said: "Military Marquis Lu, these people that I have intercepted are hiding many secrets. My Profound Palace needs to interrogate them first. If the person that Military Marquis Lu is talking about is among them, and has not committed any crimes, then I will hand him over to you after this matter is over. When you return today, you can directly report this to your superiors."
Lu Junhou thought for a moment and did not insist. After all, he did not have a good impression of the people of Shuangzhou. This time, he was only following orders. Moreover, if Zhang Yu insisted, he would not be able to get the person from the other party.
He nodded and said, "Since Zhang Xuanzheng has spoken, then this one will go back and report to the general." After that, he solemnly saluted Zhang Yu and called out to the soldiers around him. Then, he led the people back to the flying boat.
Zhang Yu watched as the boat slowly rose into the air. He also turned back to the cabin and motioned for the pilot to continue.
When the flying boat was in the air, he sat down and looked at Master Weng and the others. He said, "Who was the one who sent the inside information to the Qingyang Army?"
There was no reaction at first, but after a while, a voice said, "It was me."
Everyone who came out of the Secret State's Legislature turned to look at the same time, but soon after, everyone had a look of disbelief. Even Master Weng was stunned.
Master Craftsman Gong stood up from his seat. His originally cowering expression had completely disappeared.
Originally, he walked with a hunched back. When he looked at people, he also lowered his head and did not dare to look at them too much. When he sat there, he also curled up into a ball. At first glance, one could tell that he was a timid and honest person.
However, as he stood up, his hunched back slowly straightened. There was also a certain light in his eyes.
Compared to before, his aura was completely different. It was as if he was a completely different person.
A middle-aged master craftsman opened his mouth wide and said, "Master Weng, you, you …"
Master Weng ignored them and walked directly to Zhang Yu. He cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, that person was me. I was the one who provided the information to the Qingyang Army, including every weak point in the Mi Province's defensive barrier because I was the one who arranged the layout of those places."
Master Weng stared at Master Weng with a complicated expression.
At that moment, he realized that after working together for decades, he seemed to have never truly seen through his colleague.
This seemingly honest and timid person turned out to be just a facade. Master Weng, who was standing here with his head held high, was probably the real him.
This could be said to have fooled everyone.
He sighed and said, "Brother Gong, so you've already found a way out …"
Master Weng sneered and turned to look at him. "A way out? You're wrong. I'm not looking for a way out. Ever since I became a ghost, I've hated everything about the Shuang Province. I've been thinking about how to destroy this place!
Do you think I've provided so many things to the Shuang Province? Long before I became a person of the Shuang Province, I've been trying to send information to the province. "
Master Weng fell silent.
Zhang Yu was about to say something when a hint of warning appeared in his heart. He looked in a certain direction.
Just a few dozen li away, the ship that had just left suddenly turned around and aimed the cannon at them.
Lu Junhou also noticed this strange movement. He felt it was strange at first, but soon realized that something was wrong. He shouted in shock and anger, "What's An Zhong doing? Quickly send a signal to him to stop! "
Just as the cannons of the airship were about to fire, a bright sword light suddenly shot out, crossed dozens of kilometres, and pierced into the airship in one fell swoop, instantly slicing the airship into countless pieces with a bang.
Lu Junhou's expression turned ugly when he saw this scene. He immediately ordered his assistant, "Go take a look and see how many people are still alive." After a pause, he added, "Capture those alive."
After a while, the assistant came back and bowed to him, "Junhou, everyone on the ship is dead."
Lu Junhou suppressed his anger and said, "What about An Zhong? Is An Zhong also dead? "
The assistant said, "Yes, but … An Zhong seems to have committed suicide."
Lu Junhou turned around and looked in the direction of Zhang Yu's ship. He said with a calm face, "Let's turn back."
The assistant looked up and said anxiously, "Junhou …"
Lu Junhou said in a deep voice, "I know. My mind is very clear, but there are some things I need to clarify."
At this moment, Zhang Yu was still sitting in the main cabin of the flying ship without moving. However, a beam of light flew in through the gap in the cabin wall and landed in his scabbard.
His expression was very calm, as if nothing had happened. He asked Master Craftsman Gong, "Master Craftsman Gong, you said that you have been transmitting information in the continent?"
Master Craftsman Gong looked at the hole that had been pierced, and then looked at Zhang Yu, and said frankly: "Yes, over the past few decades, I have been sending a lot of information about the Shuang Continent to the continent through different channels, and there are many important things inside.
But whether the information was seen in the Azure Sun Prefecture or not, I do not know. After all, for my own safety, I cannot confirm it myself. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "How did Master Craftsman Gong transmit the information and where did you transmit it?"
Master Craftsman Gong said, "I remember, and I have prepared every piece of information."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then after we go back, I will trouble Master Craftsman Gong to organize these things and give them to me."
Master Craftsman Gong said, "Of course."
At this moment, Master Craftsman Weng suddenly said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, I'm willing to tell you everything I know. Although I don't know much, as long as I know, I can tell you everything." He then added in a more serious tone, "Including some things about the continent."
At this moment, he also understood that it was useless to negotiate with Zhang Yu. Moreover, with Master Gong here, there were some things that he didn't need to get answers from him. In that case, he might as well take the initiative to confess. Perhaps it would reduce the punishment that he had to bear.
Wang Zhongping had been sitting there without saying a word since he was subdued. At this time, his expression changed slightly and he warned, "You two, don't speak nonsense."
Master Craftsman Gong sneered. He did not care about this and said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Xuanzheng, do you know why this person is so nervous? Because the Frost Continent Institute has always been in contact with the Clear Sun Tenki-in Hall. Master Craftsman Weng does know some things because he often goes to the continent.
It is also because of the good relationship with the Clear Sun Tenki-in Hall that it was so easy to ask the people in the institute to prepare the documents and send a flying boat to pick us up.
"Zhang, Zhang Xuanzheng …"
At this time, the servant driving the flying boat pointed ahead and said nervously, "They, they are back."
Zhang Yu glanced over and saw that the flying ships that had left had turned back again and sent out a message asking them to stop flying for the time being. He knew that they were here because of what happened just now. He said, "Let's land in front, I'll talk to them."
Lu Junhou saw that the flying boat in front of him landed safely and nothing happened. He was slightly relieved. Although he knew that the problem was likely to be on his side, he could not rule out the possibility.
He said, "Let's go down too."
However, he didn't notice that when the flying boat was descending, several streaks of light suddenly floated from the south and pierced through the sky in this direction!
