Most of the senior officials entered the city to meet Xiaoyaozi, leaving one or two important figures to lead ordinary disciples to stay at the stronghold. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the empire.

If there is an undercover agent, that person will definitely not miss this opportunity.

As they expected, the stronghold outside the city was raided by Meng Tian's army, and an inn at the planned meeting place in the city was also targeted.

Fortunately, they made arrangements in advance, and all the disciples who were staying at the stronghold outside the city were evacuated first, and the city also dealt with it with Zhang Liang's cooperation.

The only pity is that Master Ban and Gao Jianli failed to figure out who was the undercover agent.

There was nothing they could do about it. In their haste, it was impossible for the two of them to pass different false news to various senior Mohist officials for specific testing.

The matter of digging undercover can only be planned later.

As for why they returned to the stronghold tonight...there are two reasons.

One is to come back and see the situation in the stronghold, so as to gain more understanding of the empire's actions.

The second thing is to tidy up some beginnings and ends.

Although they have made up their minds to abandon this stronghold, this is the most important stronghold of the Mohists in the Songhai area, and there are still many secrets.

Apart from anything else, there is more than one tunnel under this stronghold.

Some can be left alone, while others must be sealed completely.

Therefore, they must go back and deal with everything.

After briefly observing the situation outside, the group entered the main house in the courtyard.

With the quickest hands, he lit all the candles immediately. The warm firelight illuminated the house, and the situation inside the house immediately came into view.

It was the same as outside, basically the same as when they left, but the additional footprints on the ground also confirmed that someone had come in after them.

"It seems that Meng Tian and the others have come in before." Daozhi crossed his arms and said with a smile while looking at the footprints on the ground.

Sledgehammer scratched his head, "So... they came here, didn't do anything, and just left?"

"It doesn't make sense!"

You can't catch anyone and you're too lazy to search carefully, that's fine, but you should at least leave some manpower to seal this place off, right?

If that doesn't help, leave a few hidden sentries!

When even a sledgehammer can tell something is not right, something is really wrong.

Xiaoyaozi glanced around and said in a deep voice, "There must be a fraud behind it!"

Gao Jianli also said at this time, "I have an unknown premonition."

Snapped!

Robber Zhi suddenly slapped himself on the face and exclaimed:

"What's this!?"

It turned out that he suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his face just now, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.

Thief Zhi took his hands off his face and spread them in front of his eyes, muttering in confusion, "Could it be a mosquito?"

They have herbal incense mixed with Duanmu Rong in their houses, so mosquitoes never come close.

Upon hearing what Thieves Zhi said, Xiaoyaozi's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

At this time, the thick-skinned Sledgehammer also felt a little itching, and while patting the back of his neck, he echoed, "It seems like there are mosquitoes!"

At the same time, Thief Zhi finally saw clearly what stung him, and his eyes widened slightly.

He saw a golden bug lying in his hand. After struggling for a few times, it flapped its wings and flew up again.

I didn’t kill it with that one shot just now!

Gai Nie seemed to have realized what was going on at this time, and immediately shouted concisely, "Get out!"

Xiaoyaozi sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes, "It's too late."

At the same time, Xiaoyaozi waved his sleeves and extinguished all the candles in the room.

Darkness once again occupied most of the space in the house, leaving only a little light from the stars and the moon cast by the window.

In the darkness, the golden bug just emitted a faint light like a firefly.

When Thief Zhi saw this light spot, he immediately pointed and shouted, "That's the little thing that bit me just now... Oh, that's not right! Why... why is my arm so weak!"

Before Robber Zhi could finish his sentence, his arm drooped as if it had been dislocated, unable to lift it up.

Sledgehammer also shouted at this time, "Oh! I also feel numb all over, and I feel a little tired!"

Xiaoyaozi didn't say anything. He raised his right hand slightly and made a handprint on his chest. The golden energy flowed and turned into a strip of light, heading towards the roof.

Following Xiaoyaozi's movements, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked upward.

I saw that the originally dark roof space suddenly lit up one after another, densely packed with light spots.

Every spot of light is like the little insect that bit the thief planter just now, and now... there are at least thousands of them!
