Chapter 55 The war is coming
“Ah, yes, yes!”
Xu Heng nodded and looked at Chu Hongyu's reaction with some surprise.
Just the godfather of a small enemy stronghold.
In terms of status, you are far from being comparable to me, the deputy battalion commander of Gouchen Battalion. As the chief battalion commander of Gouchen Battalion, do you need to be so shocked?
What’s more, if the information is tortured and the right time, place and people are available, normal people will choose to pretend to be someone else. Isn’t this a basic operation?
It can’t be that I’m not a normal person, right?
It’s impossible, it can’t be.
“General Chu, what’s going on?” Xu Heng couldn’t help but asked in confusion.
Chu Hongyu looked at Xu Heng with wide eyes, feeling that her breathing was a little disordered.
The people of the Destiny Sect are so cunning, and they are assisted by various local forces in Ping'an Capital, which has led to the continuous loss of spies sent by the Scorpion Army in recent years.
Some time ago, all the spies in the Gouchen Camp were betrayed and all died.
Later on, a female spy from the Tianlao camp happened to hypnotize a middle-level member of the stronghold, and then followed the clues and dug out most of the people in the Tianming Sect stronghold and annihilated them.
But now, Xu Heng has only been here for four days.
Since he was unfamiliar with the place and did not know the Heian Jing dialect, he directly transformed into the godfather of the stronghold.
This is too outrageous.
The most outrageous thing is, he asked me what happened?
What did you say?
Chu Hongyu suddenly had the urge to hit someone.
She felt that her emotions seemed to be ups and downs very frequently today. Looking at Xu Heng's rightfully confused expression, she even had the urge to roll her eyes.
She had seen others roll their eyes before, but she couldn't react in this way, but now she felt like she was self-taught.
“Tell me everything that happened after you came to Ping’an Capital.” Chu Hongyu’s expression condensed.
If Xu Heng really has this identity, then many things will go smoothly.
"oh!"
Xu Heng nodded, and then told the story from beginning to end.
However, the details of how to take down those three people are also hidden in the middle. After all, the ability of [Three Swordsmen] is his trump card and cannot be disclosed easily.
But Chu Hongyu herself was a Xiaohan seasonal commander, so she could naturally tell that Xu Heng had concealed the details of the battle, but she did not ask too much.
It’s just that I’m a little surprised about how Xu Heng became the godfather.
A new recruit who has just entered the camp has only ten levels of energy...
She couldn't figure out who gave this guy the courage to have the bold idea of impersonating the godfather.
but…
“Well done.” Chu Hongyu nodded heartily and praised her.
No matter how outrageous Xu Heng’s process was, the result was indeed good.
“So you now have two identities, one is the godfather of the stronghold, and the other is the heir of the elder in the sect?” Chu Hongyu looked at Xu Heng and asked, wanting to confirm again.
"That's right! The identity of the godfather of the stronghold still needs to solve two problems, and it will be more effective in the future. The identity of the elder's heir will definitely not be tenable in the future, but it will help me move freely in Ping'an Capital now, and I can also learn Ping'an Capital's dialect."
Xu Hengru explained.
Ch Chu Hongyu couldn't help but nod secretly after hearing this. She had indeed seen the right person. This young man was a smart young man with a very different brain circuit, but it was indeed useful.
"General Chu, I have learned the Ping'an capital language almost completely, and I also have a thorough understanding of some information about officials. The only trouble is the members of the Destiny Sect who are about to take over the stronghold." Xu Heng hinted.
"I understand what you mean, but I can't take action for the time being, otherwise the master of Heian Jingzhong and above will definitely notice the aura."
When Chu Hongyu said this, she pondered for a while: "How about leaving this matter to the spies from Tianlao camp and giving them a share of the credit?"
"No problem." Xu Heng said it didn't matter. He originally wanted to find the spies from the Tianlao camp, but he just needed their help.
"In addition, I need you to arrange an identity for me. It is best to stay with you." Chu Hongyu nodded and began to think about the next plan.
"The identity that stays with me? This is a bit difficult..." Xu Heng thought for a while: "The fiancée of the eldest son of the sect?"
“…” Chu Hongyu glanced at Xu Heng with cold eyes.
"I understand, this won't work." Xu Heng nodded and snapped his fingers again: "Maid, the maid is very good. I am the heir of an elder in my church, so it makes sense to have a maid by my side, right?"
Chu Hongyu remained silent. After staring at Xu Heng for a while, she suddenly stood up: "I will go find the people from Tianlao camp first and arrange for them to set up an ambush outside the city."
After saying that, the figure rushed out of the door.
Xu Heng was startled, so does General Chu agree or disagree?
Why did you leave again without giving me a single correct word?
In the past few days, the nights in Hepingjing have been a bit cold. If I really have a maid, can she help me warm the bed first?
Forget it, General Chu is also in the Xiaohan season, and the cold is too strong to warm the bed.
Xu Heng shook his head, turned his attention to what was going on outside the window, and continued to focus on learning Ping'an Beijing dialect. The next day, early morning.
Chu Hongyu brought news that the spies from the Tianlao Camp had arranged an ambush point. As long as the new members of the Tianming Sect arrived, they would definitely be able to capture it.
When she appeared in front of Xu Heng, she had already changed into simple clothes. Her face had obviously been processed, covering some of the delicate lines of her facial features, blurring the edges and corners, and her skin tone was slightly darker, making her look much more ordinary.
"From today on, I will be with you as a maid, and I have taken a medicine to seal all the Xiaohan solar terms. As long as I don't take action, no existence above the master will be able to detect it."
Then what do I need from you?
Xu Heng was speechless, but he couldn't really spit out these words.
After all, she just closed the Xiaohan solar term. If she offended her, he would still be the one to suffer.
"Okay, then you should talk less and listen more, and learn more... Well, today I am going to inspect the stronghold's property, collect some supplies, and contact the corresponding official. You must be interested in the identity of the other party."
Xu Heng smiled slightly.
Originally, he just wanted to use this stronghold to make a lot of money, and then bring back the Scorpion Army to make a fortune.
Although I don’t know if the things inside can be taken out in the end, if I bring them in exchange for success, I can also increase my score, so it won’t be a loss anyway.
As for communicating with officials, he also wants to confirm his status as the godfather. While continuing to make money, he can also obtain information from the other party and send false information to them, so that he can gain a lot of credit.
But unexpectedly, after learning the official's identity, Xu Heng unexpectedly discovered that the other person's father was actually the target on Gou Chenying's roster, and he was also a big shot.
"This is his message. This man's name is Kojiro, and his father is Ojiro, the Minister of Heian Jingzuo, which is equivalent to the prime minister. It is one of the goals of our Gouchen camp."
Xu Heng handed the information booklet about the contact officials and their family members to Chu Hongyu.
This is the information he got while drinking flower wine. It was not easy.
"Ojiro is a civil servant. Although he has no power to tie a chicken, he is protected by a master. However, if a full-scale war starts, the masters of Heian Kyo and above will need to participate in the war. By then we..." Chu Hongyu said this, the meaning is already obvious.
When the all-out battle begins, they can take advantage of the opportunity and capture a large number of important targets that have lost the protection of their masters.
“Wonderful!”
Xu Heng had a smile on his face, and his college entrance examination results seemed to be stable this time.
Even if you can't kill all the targets, you can only kill some of them, plus the supplies you bring back and the information you convey, it's easy to get a high score.
Not long after, the two set off for the market.
Xu Heng first found a few downline leaders and asked them to send people to Kojiro's house to hand over greeting cards, and then began to count their gains during this period.
Overall, the performance is pretty good.
These downline leaders have many thugs under them, and they have good relationships with some local rogues, so the execution of activities such as robbing homes and stealing chickens and dogs becomes much smoother.
Counting the supplies collected, there were not only a large amount of banknotes, but also various rice grains, dried meat, weapons, women...
"Don't rob women and children. We only want supplies, understand?" Xu Heng's face darkened when he saw the last items.
“Brother Xu, women from Ping An Jing are also materials!” Several downline leaders looked stunned.
???”
Xu Heng frowned, shook his head and said, "This is what the godfather said. We don't want women and children, but other supplies."
“I understand.” Several people nodded.
“Also, some properties based in Heian Jingzhong must be sold off before the full-scale battle begins.”
"ah?"
"Don't ask, the godfather has his own profound meaning, but I can guess some of it. This is called selling high and buying low. When the war starts, the prices of those industries will inevitably drop again. When the time comes...hehehehe." Xu Heng showed that he understood. Everyone understands the smile.
They were not too stupid. They understood immediately and their eyes lit up: "Godfather is really resourceful!"
"Okay, hurry up and make arrangements. I'll wait for you here." Xu Heng waved his hand.
The others all retreated, leaving only Xu Heng and Chu Hongyu.
“Are you planning to take away all the supplies from their stronghold?” Chu Hongyu looked at Xu Heng with a strange expression.
This is not something that the Scorpion Army can do. It is completely the behavior of a fraudster.
The key is how can he be so skilled and at ease?
“I just want to get more pensions for the comrades who died in Gouchen camp.” Xu Heng looked into the distance with melancholy eyes and said lightly.
Chu Hongyu was startled, and just looked at him slightly absentmindedly, silently.
