Volume 1: Absolutely No Same Parallel Universe Chapter 32 Who is the Traitor

  "Wasn't the cargo lost?" Wei Zuo hastily asked, clearly still most concerned about that batch of goods worth more than gold.

  "The goods didn't come with us." Wu Zong said calmly.

  "What?" Several people in the hall moved at the same time. Wei Zuo was even more shocked, and he hastily asked: "Where did that cargo go?" For a moment, the crowd in the hall whispered, buzzing with voices.

  "That batch of goods has now been safely delivered into the hands of the imperial court." Ling Yi, who had not spoken until then, suddenly spoke up in a calm and collected tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

  Only Du Na Hai nodded slightly on the side, apparently having already understood the secret. I shook my head and sighed, this Wei Zuo doesn't even know how he got into this position, a pig brain should be able to think of it too. Ling Yi must have arranged for another team to take a different route to deliver the goods, while he and Wu Zong led people to distract these robbers. The fortress owner personally took action, how eye-catching is that? Can't you understand that? I rolled my eyes, no wonder the delivery was so important, but he didn't know anything about the specific arrangements. It seems like this seat won't be able to sit for long.

  But as soon as Ling Yi said this, many people let out a sigh of relief and the crowd quieted down, waiting for what was to come next. It's also true that if someone else had said these words, they probably wouldn't have had such a soothing effect. This person is indeed skilled at knowing when to make an appearance, although I don't have a good impression of his actions, I have to admit this point.

  "What's going on here?" Wei Zuo asked with a stern expression.

  Alas, I shook my head again. It seems that no matter what the occasion is, there must be a jester to set off the atmosphere. I stared at the inner hall with a smile, as if watching a play.

  Ling Yi glanced at Wu Zong, who nodded in understanding and continued: "From the moment we received the news, the fortress master had secretly made arrangements to divide the delivery team into two groups, with two batches of identical goods, one real and one fake. The real goods were still escorted by the Iron Armor, while the fortress master took us to transport the fake goods, taking different routes until just before leaving the land, neither group knew which route they would take."

  It turns out that's how it is. Good at openly repairing the plank road, secretly passing through Chen Cang, but how can Ling Yi be certain that the enemy's surprise attack won't be another team of real goods?

  I was still analyzing on my own when Wei Ze suddenly said: "What if the enemy is targeting the real thing?"

  Wu Zong chuckled and said, "No, because the enemy only knows one route, which is the fake goods transportation route led by the fortress master himself."

  "How can you be so sure?" Even Duna Hai couldn't help but speak up this time.

  Wu Zong did not speak, and only heard Ling Yi say faintly: "Because there is a traitor in the fort."

  This remark undoubtedly stirred up a thousand waves, and the expressions of everyone present were different. Some looked around in astonishment, some had serious faces, some were thinking secretly, and even several people stood up, indignantly demanding an immediate thorough investigation into the traitor...

  At this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe who had been sitting under Wei's seat suddenly spoke up: "The enemy wants to make a move on this batch of goods, and considering the prestige and power of Furong Fortress, they naturally dare not act rashly. They need to make a comprehensive deployment. The best way is to respond from within and outside, so it's not surprising that there's a traitor inside the fortress. It depends on whether the master of the fortress has a clear plan in mind. Let's wait and see what happens next."

  This man spoke at a moderate pace, his words were clear and logical, neither arrogant nor humble. He seemed to have more composure than Wei Zuo. Everyone else fell silent after hearing him speak. I couldn't help but feel a sense of approval in my heart, but since he was sitting with his back to me, I couldn't see his appearance clearly for the time being.

  Ling Yi unexpectedly nodded to him, showing great respect, what kind of role is he playing? This little episode piqued my curiosity.

  Ling Yi solemnly said, "What Commissioner Liang said is not wrong. If there were no internal traitors, how could they have lured out this batch of bandits? The route arrangements are only known to me and Wu Zong. To let them deliver themselves to our doorstep, we must first leak the information."

  Wu Zong bowed to Ling Yi and said, "Yes, the castle owner informed me in advance of the delivery route, but I have not revealed it to anyone."

  What are these two singing in harmony? I'm puzzled, if Ling Yi and Wu Zong didn't reveal the delivery route to outsiders, how would the enemy know? My heart skipped a beat, a strange feeling emerged, could it be...

  I dare not confirm my own thoughts, and instead cast my gaze at Fei Qingyun in front of me. In order to obtain information when others are keeping their mouths shut, perhaps only Fei Qingyun can do it in this Furuo Fortress. But would he be a traitor? Such a refined, humble, and courteous person. However, Ling Yi just explicitly told me not to go back to the Guiwu Courtyard again, could it really be him? I looked at Fei Qingyun's back in disbelief, yet saw him leaning against the chair with ease. If it wasn't him, who would it be?

  Most people looked puzzled after hearing Wu Zong's words, but Ling Yi said calmly: "First, let's talk about where these hijackers are from."

  Wu Zong said solemnly: "I think it should be someone from Red Eagle Manor."

  "No," Du Naha frowned, "If it's the Red Eagle Manor's people, sending out this batch of mediocre fighters is meant to make us let our guard down, making us think the crisis has passed, and become complacent. In that case, they shouldn't have left such an obvious mark, as everyone knows that the people of Red Eagle Manor have a red eagle tattoo on their shoulders. Is this not clearly telling us that it's them?"

  Ling Yi slightly nodded his head, but didn't speak. Only the sound of Liang Zhi Shi's low voice was heard: "May I ask, Master Fortress, whether the second batch of experts who attacked our troops also had a red eagle tattoo on their shoulders."

  "We didn't bring back that batch of corpses, but before burying them, we carefully examined them and found that they all had the Red Eagle mark on their shoulders." Wu Zongdai replied.

  "In that case, I think someone is intentionally framing Red Eagle Manor." Du Naha said calmly.

  "It is true that someone has framed us, but it was not a frame-up of the Red Eagle Manor." Ling Yi said calmly.

  As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked, and dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Ling Yi. Ling Yi didn't rush, slowly sipped a mouthful of tea, before opening his mouth: "Qianjimeng has always been unpredictable, leaving no traces when doing things. This kind of framing is undoubtedly trying to cover up but only ends up making people laugh; and if it's the Red Eagle Manor, they can completely find a batch of high-ranking masters without tattoos to do it, after which people can only make empty guesses, unable to find any real evidence."

  "What did the castle master say? Is neither of them true? Who could it be?" Wei Ze asked urgently.

  Ling Yi gave him a glance, "As I said earlier, those who have the power to rob us are none other than Chiying Manor and Qianjim Gate."

  Isn't this self-contradictory? I rolled my eyes, but also agreed with what he said. He continued, "This is called the reality of emptiness. What do you think, Qingyun?"

  I was shocked, and Ling Yi finally revealed his spearhead. Fei Qingyun, it's really Fei Qingyun. Everyone in the room immediately cast their eyes on Fei Qingyun, with guessing, guarding, and all sorts of expressions.

  Only then did Fei Qingyun slowly get up, bow slightly to Ling Yi, and say in a clear voice: "I also think that this time the robbery was done by the Red Eagle Manor."

  "Let's hear it." Ling Yi leaned back in his chair, looking at him with interest.

  Fei Qingyun was completely indifferent to the suspicious glances of the people around him, and instead, he put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "In my opinion, the Red Eagle Manor's move is not to frame others, but to cover up. Everyone in the Jianghu knows the strength of the Hibiscus Fortress, and outsiders would never be able to rob this batch of goods without anyone getting hurt. So why do they all have the Red Eagle tattoo on their shoulders? Those who don't understand will directly think it's a frame-up and shift their attention to other sects. As the master said, between virtual and real, it makes people unable to judge, and the best way is to cry out for thieves while being a thief yourself. The Red Eagle Manor can do this whether they succeed or not, and they can openly claim to be wronged. If the Thousand Silence Gate did this, it would be unnecessary."

  Watching him talk eloquently without being too enthusiastic, I couldn't help but admire him. The subtle hints were already obvious, yet he remained so calm and composed. This person's depth is not to be underestimated; even I was initially misled. But how will he respond to the upcoming situation? Today's meeting is clearly intended to expose the internal traitor - can he avoid being caught?
