When the defenders and chieftains of Pibo City came to the barracks, they saw Ma Meng sitting quietly in the central army's tent with anger. However, Ma Meng was thinking about how he told everyone about the crime of Gaoyi chieftain, and he had forgotten to observe the reactions of the chieftains and the generals of the defenders, otherwise he would definitely find a hint of clue on everyone's faces. Because, the defenders and the unwilling chieftains who were trembling with him in their daily lives were looking at him lightly today, without the kind of servitude and fear that they used to be. Moreover, today only lacked Gaoyi chieftains, but the defenders and chieftains did not care about it and showed enough calmness. At the same time, Ma Meng did not notice that in addition to themselves, there were three or four personal guards around them who followed the chieftains and generals to the central army's tent today.

"See the general of the army—" everyone began to salute Mameng.

"Today we summon you to the tent of the Central Army. I only want to tell you one big thing. I want you to go with me to see who this traitor is." Ma Meng said seriously, "You can't guess who this traitor is? He is Gaoyi chieftain. He has colluded with Dongtu, wants to collude with Dongtu, want to surrender to them, and want to give Pibo City to the Tang army. However, Gaoyi chieftain overestimates his own abilities. He thinks that he is a god without knowing it, but what he never expected is that everything he has been under the surveillance of this general. Now his mansion has been surrounded by my guards, and the Tubo messenger is in his mansion. Therefore, I hope you can go with me to see this traitor and see what else he can say."

After Ma Meng said this, he felt that he was saying very beautifully. He thought these words were enough to shock the people sitting, so that they would be more restrained when doing things in the future.

"Yes-" everyone responded.

Ma Meng was very satisfied with everyone's respectful attitude, and then stood up and left the central army's tent.

After leaving the central army tent, Mameng and Pibo City were defending generals, and the chieftains came to the street where Gaoyi Tusi's mansion was located. Before leaving the military camp, Mameng's personal guard asked Mameng whether to lead another thousand iron guards with him. This suggestion was stopped by Mameng on the spot. Mameng believed that there were his own three hundred guards outside Gaoyi Tusi's mansion, and there were more than 20 guards around him, so there would be no problem with safety. Moreover, Mameng was also arrogant and believed that Pibo

The army in the city has been controlled by itself, and the defenders and chieftains of Pibo City are not as strong as they are, so they dare not make any adverse actions to them. Moreover, the reason why Ma Meng is so sure that the defenders and chieftains of Pibo City are not afraid to touch him is that in the past few days he has seen the timid expressions of the defenders and chieftains of Pibo City these days, and looks as timid as a mouse. This makes Ma Meng feel that he has enough deterrent power. It is simply a joke that they want to be unfavorable to him.

Therefore, Mameng led twenty personal guards, more than ten meters of guards, chieftains and dozens of guards around them to the door of Gaoyi chieftain's mansion. He saw that the mansion had been surrounded by Mameng's personal guards. A centurion guard saw Mameng hurried forward to salute Mameng.

"See General!" said the centurion.

"Nothing went wrong, right?" Ma asked violently.

"General, no one left the mansion!" replied the centurion.

"Well, you did a good job. When this matter is processed, I will definitely promote you!" Ma Meng said majesticly.

However, the centurion could see that his general was in a very good mood today.

"Thank you, General!" thanked the centurion.

"You go and open the door-" Ma Meng ordered, and then said to the people around him, "Please, everyone!"

"Please, General!" everyone said modestly.

With a "clang" sound, the door of the mansion was knocked open by the personal guards.

Then he saw four private soldiers of Gaoyi chieftains rushed out of the mansion.

"The General is here, what do you want to do?"

Seeing the private soldiers of Gaoyi chieftain rushing out, the personal guard beside Ma Meng yelled.

"Great-General-" Gaoyi chieftain's private soldiers stood at the door and said frightenedly, their appearance seemed at a loss.

When Ma Meng saw that the dignified Gaoyi chieftain would have such a cowardly private soldier, he sneered in his heart and despised Gaoyi chieftain fiercely.

"Please please!" Ma Meng said again.

"Please, General!" everyone said modestly.

Ma Meng was not polite and strode into the mansion of Gaoyi Tusi, and everyone followed closely.

However, the centurion wanted to lead his personal guard to follow Ma Meng, but was stopped by Ma Meng.

"You just stay outside the mansion and don't let anyone in the mansion go!"

"Yes--" the centurion received the order.

In fact, although Ma Meng was arrogant before coming to Gaoyi Tusi's mansion, he still thought about bringing a hundred people into Gaoyi Tusi's mansion just in case. However, when he saw the cowardly Gaoyi Tusi's private soldiers at the door of Gaoyi's mansion, he completely relaxed his vigilance, and only led his twenty personal guards into Gaoyi Tusi's mansion.

Ma Meng and others walked into the mansion of Gaoyi Tusi and met an old man over fifty years old.

The old man quickly walked to Ma Meng and bowed and said, "The chief officer of Gaoyi Chieftain's Mansion has met the General, all the generals and all the Chieftains."

"Where is your chieftain? Why don't you come to welcome me?" Ma Meng asked arrogantly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with him saying this.

Because the chieftain and the general do not belong to the same system and have no hierarchical relationship. As long as the chieftain does not pay attention to etiquette or friendship, he can ignore the general.

"Go back to the general, Lord Chief is unwell and is waiting for you in the hall. Please follow me!" The old man said with a bowed groan.

"Well, then you can lead the way!" Ma Meng enjoyed the old man's attitude towards him and said lightly.

The old man walked in front, and Ma Meng walked behind him. Twenty personal guards were behind him, and the people naturally pulled a distance from Ma Meng.

Ma Meng did not take this abnormal behavior seriously at all. He believed that people would not walk with him because they wanted to express their respect to him.

Everyone followed the old man through two courtyards and saw a magnificent hall appearing in front of everyone.

As we walked up the steps, we soon arrived at the entrance of the hall.

"General, please—" the old man said respectfully.

At this time, the four private soldiers of Gaoyi chieftain guarding the entrance of the hall slowly opened the door of the hall.

The hall was filled with no candlelight, and the heat was so hot.

Before Ma Meng could enter the hall, his twenty personal guards had already rushed into the hall first and stood on both sides of the hall.

At this time, Ma Meng slowly stepped into the hall.

"Bang--" Just as Ma Meng stepped into the hall with both feet, he heard a heavy sound of closing the door from behind. Ma Meng turned around and found that the door of the hall had been closed and locked himself in the hall.

"Is there a fraud?" A dangerous aura flashed through Ma Meng's heart.

"Protect the General—" At this time, Mameng's personal guard captain shouted.

Twenty personal guards quickly moved to Ma Meng's side and surrounded him in the center.

"Sasha—"

Heavy footsteps came from the hall. When Ma Meng listened carefully, his face suddenly changed.

Because, he saw hundreds of soldiers holding bows and arrows appearing on the second floor attic around the hall, and he recognized at first glance that they were the private soldiers of Gaoyi chieftains.

"Where is that bastard Gaoyi Tusi?" Ma Meng knew that he had been fooled by Gaoyi Tusi, so he cursed.

“———”

No one answered quietly.

"Let Gaoyi chieftain come out to speak!" Ma Meng continued to shout.

As soon as Ma Meng finished speaking, he heard a voice saying, "Ma Meng, I didn't expect that you would still be so ignorant at this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yi chieftain appeared in the attic on the second floor. In addition to a few personal guards, there were also defenders and chieftains from Pibo City.

"You-you--" Ma Meng was so angry that he really didn't expect the defending generals and chieftains of Pibo City to join forces to deal with him. In fact, he didn't expect that he couldn't believe it. Because his guards had already controlled all of their mansions, and they had no chance to go out to discuss. How could he plan such a careful plan?

Seeing Ma Meng's surprised eyes, Gao Yi Tusi smiled faintly, "General Ma Meng, are you surprised? But I don't feel surprised at all. Since you suspected that there was a traitor among us, your ending was already destined. At that time, you besieged our mansion and we chose to remain silent because we still loyally wanted to work together with you to defend Pibo City. In fact, this is the only room for maneuver between us, but you were not sure. Not only did you not understand our intentions, but you also killed Sangmu Tusi indiscriminately because of the enemy's plan and cut off your own path."

Gao Yi Tusi said this, his tone paused for a moment and continued, "If we don't target you, we will probably all be killed by your suspicion before the Tang army captured Pibo City. Although we do not want to surrender to the Tang army and follow Songzan Haiqing, when our lives are threatened, we must not fail to consider our own destiny."

"Hmph - a traitor is a traitor. Why do you say so much?" Ma sneered, and then saw him saying with fearlessness, "But don't forget that there are tens of thousands of troops of this general in the city. Do you think if you kill me, can you still have a chance to survive?"

"General, we have bribed your personal guard's confidant general. Now he can order the army to open the city and surrender. It is estimated that the Tang army had entered Pibo City at this time." One of the defending generals smiled, "Otherwise, how could you fall into our trap today?"

"You - you - despicable -" Ma's face turned pale in an instant, and he was furious. He didn't expect that he could be in an idle crisis and that his personal guards betrayed him.

"Haha-is it mean?" the defending general continued, "You only know?"

"Ha ha--"

The chieftains and the defenders present laughed, their laughter filled with contempt and disdain for Ma Meng.

Laugh, Gaoyi Tusi continued, "General Ma Meng, I will tell you another thing before you die. A strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. I hope you will not repeat the mistakes you have today when you are in the underworld."

"Old man--" Ma roared, and with a "wow", he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell on the hall.

"Kill——" Gaoyi chieftain ordered coldly.
