Chapter 369 The Secret Agents
Zhao Changhe admitted that his face was swollen from being beaten by the Book of Troubled Times.
One second he was still saying that Zhou was too boastful, but the next second his nephew really stood up.
But Zhao Changhe was not depressed about being slapped in the face. Instead, he was very happy. He took out the wine gourd and took a big sip.
Tang Buqi was crying after drinking before his eyes, and the waves washed away the sand, but his name was shining brightly in the world.
In addition, Maitreya was defeated in Taihu, and Tang Wanzhuang launched a counterattack. Will they continue to attack Xiangyang? The east and west fronts are different, so I don’t know whether they will be affected or not.
At this moment, I want to communicate with the people from the Demon Suppression Division even more, hoping that Dazhou really is. It stands to reason that the people in the Demon Suppression Division would be more interested in communicating with their superiors at this time, so it would be easier to see the clues.
Zhao Changhe quietly followed Da Zhou around and around to an alley. The aroma inside was fragrant, and they really made braised duck...but it was not a small shop or workshop as originally imagined, but the entire alley belonged to his family.
The whole city is not prosperous, the construction scene here is relatively deserted, and few people come in to buy goods. But there was no need to buy it. Da Zhou directed his clerks to pack the braised goods and deliver them to various restaurants and rich people's mansions one by one.
This is a business that has regular cooperative customers, and the recession in the city seems to have less impact on such businesses.
Everything seemed to be normal. Zhao Changhe was not anxious and waited quietly.
It was getting dark, Da Zhou finished his work, changed into the young master's clothes, and left the alley with a sway. Zhao Changhe thought that this might be a meeting, so he secretly followed him.
“Hey~ Brother Zhou is here? Xiao Taohong misses you...”
“I don’t miss Xiao Taohong, I miss Fourth Brother.”
“Fourth Master is in Flower Hall No. 1, waiting for Brother Zhou to play with us.”
“…” Zhao Changhe looked at Da Zhou being escorted into the brothel by the madams in the distance, feeling full of ellipses.
Why do you need to visit a brothel again...
Forget it, I won’t go shopping this time. In the past, I couldn't pretend to be a guest and go shopping. That was because my Qing Gong was average and the knife was too big, which made it unsuitable for secret investigation. Now the problem was solved. Long Que took the ring and combined Qing Gong with Ye Wuji's popularity. Nowadays, it is much easier to detect secretly.
Zhao Changhe spotted the flower hall of Da Zhou Jin, floated up to the eaves, lowered his barb, and peeped out of the window.
As expected, Da Zhou inside was not here for prostitution at all.
There was another man sitting opposite him, probably the so-called "fourth brother". There was no girl around them at all, they were just drinking together.
"The first defeat of Maitreya, is there any news recently?" Da Zhou was asking.
Sure enough, the man who suppressed the magic division.
Zhao Changhe felt that his intuition was accurate enough to buy lottery tickets...but the title Fourth Brother easily reminded him of the Yingwu Organization...
The fourth brother said: "The war has just ended. Even if we want to send a carrier pigeon, it will not arrive at once. You are more anxious than me."
Dazhou said: "I feel so excited when I see the book flashing in troubled times... Maitreya has caused trouble in Jiangnan, and finally we can see the signs of peace. Who doesn't want to go back to the old days, peaceful and stable, how nice it is to come here and listen to music if you have nothing to do. . Now that I’m engaged in woolen cloth, my business is no longer good, and my listening to music is boring.”
The fourth brother was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's why the leader thinks that you and I can't deal with Maitreya. Because their goddess came to seduce a soul, so we ran away with him."
Da Zhou: "...I was not allowed to go to the Maitreya force. That's because I have always been doing business here. It's different for you. There are so many brothel chains. Staying here is not a stay. Why were you driven here?"
The fourth brother said bitterly: "I don't like women, why should Maitreya seduce me? You don't know anything."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Zhao Changhe nodded secretly. The cough on Tang Wan's makeup made people think of Sister Lin. In fact, she was the prime minister's model and never needed others to worry. There are two lines of light and dark in the Zhenmo Division. For example, Zhao Changhe himself is a secret agent. Judging from the situation like Da Zhou who has been doing business here for a long time, this is a hidden line that was laid out many years ago. Basically no one will guess. It turns out that Da Zhou, who has been working here for so many years, is a secret agent.
In the current situation in Xiangyang, Tang Wanzhuang had long distrusted the official government and activated a secret espionage line behind the scenes. It was just the right time.
"Then please report this in advance." Dazhou was worried: "Damn it, Maitreya has not yet been settled, and everyone has different intentions. When will this chaos end?"
Fourth brother said: "Don't think so far... I have received new news from the west. Do you want to hear it?"
Da Zhou asked curiously: "What's the news?"
The fourth brother smiled and said: "Wang Daozhong entered Kunlun. He went to **** on the first day. Then he thought women were boring and chased a beautiful young man. The news about Kunlun has been spreading for these days, and it has reached here... You said you want to Don’t you want to report it to the chief?”
Da Zhou almost spit out his wine: "Are you sure that's Wang Daozhong? He has a wife and children, right?"
"I'm tired of it. It's normal. It's a big family..." The fourth brother said with his hands: "This is a small matter. The real big thing is that I heard that Wang Daozhong helped the Sixiang Sect to **** Yang Qianyuan back from Kunlun. Now Hongnong Yang's The position is starting to become blurry.”
Da Zhou pinched his head with a headache: "If I were the leader, I might be coughing up blood now."
"But it may be because Wang Daozhong captured Yang Qianyuan and broke the rules of Kunlun. Later, he was besieged by the Kunlun people and fled in panic." The fourth brother sighed: "Tsk, Kunlun is indeed a dangerous place. People from the Dibang entered it. They can only run away in panic."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
The stories in this royal road were actually connected by everyone, and the logic of the whole story was figured out, which was very touching.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. The fourth brother went to open the door. The man at the door whispered: "Fourth brother, I received a message from the first flying pigeon. She is already on the way to Xiangyang, and she asked you to be careful. Pigeons come and go. Too much, and there is a possibility of exposure... Try to stay hidden, stop doing things, and it is best to evacuate.”
Both of them were stunned, even Zhao Changhe, who was eavesdropping outside, was also stunned.
This meaning does not sound like a large army going to aid Xiangyang, but more like Tang Wanzhuang sneaking in alone.
If she found out from various clues that the Maitreya Cult was preparing to attack Xiangyang, then she should have sent troops to help. Why did she come here alone?
Is it just because Da Zhou and Fourth Brother reported Lu Shiheng's rebellious intentions that they came to stop it in person?
I have to say that it may have a certain effect, but this approach is not very consistent with the style of Tang Wanzhuang. Every time I hear that there is a rebellion in a place, I personally go there and act as a lobbyist to dissuade it. How is it possible...
What was the reason that led her to come here?
Zhao Changhe was glad for a moment that he did not go directly to Suzhou, otherwise he would really have missed the chance. No matter what she is here for now, she can always serve as an outpost by squatting here.
The two people in the flower hall looked at each other in confusion. The leader said that it would be better to hide as much as possible or even evacuate. How could they still be in the mood to continue drinking and talking at this moment?
Da Zhou hurriedly said goodbye and left: "Anyway, I have to go back and make arrangements. You can leave at any time. Since the boss has said it, just leave quickly. A brothel is nothing more than property. If you lose it, you will lose it."
The fourth brother was also scratching his head when he saw off Da Zhou. What's going on? Did the chief know something that even their local spies didn't know? Suddenly he seemed very nervous.
While hesitating, there was a knock on the door, and a person slowly walked into the hall. He was middle-aged and elegant, with a long beard, like a well-educated gentleman, and a warm smile.
But the fourth brother stood up in shock and broke into a cold sweat: "The city...the city lord?"
The lord of Xiangyang City, Xiaoxiang Divine Sword Lu Shiheng.
“I didn’t expect that the Demon Suppression Division would have a secret agent here, let alone our Mr. Si An.” Lu Shiheng chuckled: “I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.”
Si'an took a deep breath: "What is the city lord talking about..."
Lu Shiheng said very warmly: "Nothing... I just want Mr. Si'an to cooperate with us in Xiangyang to do something."
