Menghe Town

This is a small town about twenty miles away from Yangchuan County. A small river passes through the town. Occasionally, some ships pass by, unload some goods here, and then sell them directly in the market in the town.

.

Probably it is because of the convenient transportation here that people live here.

In the past, there was no ferry in Menghe Town. In the past few years, the Yangchuan County government invested a lot of manpower and material resources to widen the river and build a dock, which made the originally unremarkable town more popular.

In the past two years, there have been many new residents in Menghe Town, some of whom fled from the Central Plains, and some of whom were traffickers. They thought this place was good, so they moved their families here.

In just two years, the population of Menghe Town has increased several times, and it is already considered a large town within the jurisdiction of Yangchuan County.

As the sun sets and the winter night comes very early, the people walking up and down the street quickly disappear. When they return home, their wives and children are warming up on the kang.

The few shops with lights still on are small inns, wine shops and the like, and occasionally a few figures can be seen flashing among them.

Behind a slope in Menghe Town, dozens of figures in black tights suddenly appeared, each with a machete in their waist.

Ask Tiansi secret guards!

As Wentiansi's armed force, these people's reach is somewhat higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and most of them are people who have experienced battlefield killings.

Black night clothes are their standard equipment. It's dark and windy today, which is a good time to kill people.

The weapons they are equipped with are not Beiliang Dao, but a sharp blade specially made by the Mohist family. It is a little thinner than the Beiliang Dao and has a shorter blade. This kind of knife may not be suitable for use in battlefield conquests.

, but it is lightweight, easy to carry, and extremely sharp.

It is undoubtedly the best tool to perform this special task.

Dozens of figures moved towards one station, and a chilling air rushed towards them.

Huangfu Yanling looked at the light flickering in front of the slope and said softly: "These Longxi people are smart enough to choose such a place as their settlement."

Menghe Town has a large immigrant population, so men numbered 20 or 30 would not attract anyone's attention if they entered it. Moreover, there is a waterway in the town. As soon as something goes wrong, they can escape quickly along the waterway.

Moreover, the water network extends in all directions, so they can't find it wherever they go.

Pei Nong, the prefect of Yangchuan County, frowned and said, "I didn't expect that dozens of spies were hiding under our noses. It's really our negligence."

Pei Nong has been in a bad mood recently. The prince actually encountered things that oppressed good people in his jurisdiction, and this also led to the secrets hidden in the Wu family.

Fortunately, he used to think that the Wu family was a serious businessman. For this matter, his half-teacher Song Zhilu, the envoy of Beiliang Road Economics, wrote a letter to severely criticize him.

"Secret agents are all about hiding traces and being sneaky. Disguise is their special skill. If they can be suppressed by the ordinary government and discovered casually, what use are they? Mr. Pei need not blame himself." Huangfu

Yanling waved his hand casually.

Not to mention the Yangchuan County government, even Wentiansi had not found out that there were spies from Longxi lurking here. If the eldest young master of the Wu family was not an idiot and led people to find Chenyue's trouble, they

I don’t know how long I will have to lurk in the cold land.

Oh, by the way, the eldest young master of the Wu family was frightened and sick since he learned Chen Yue's identity. Then his father died again, and he went completely crazy. Wang Zong, the deputy commander of the patrol camp, pressed

Lu was beheaded, and even his old brother Chang Fang was embarrassed to plead for mercy.

It is an iron rule of the Liang army that anyone who draws a sword from ordinary people for no reason will be executed immediately. What's more, he still drew a sword against the King of Liang.

A man in black standing behind Huangfu Yanling bowed and said: "Sir, the brothers have already gone in to explore the way during the day, and the group is still inside."

The man in black who spoke was the leader of these secret guards. His name was Fei Chuan. He was born in the border army. He was later transferred to Wentiansi and trained many secret killers for Wentiansi. He was also one of Huangfu Yanling's most effective men.

assistant.

In the past two days, the secret guards dressed as ordinary people came here many times to check on the location, and they roughly determined the number of Longxi secret agents, which was not much different from what Liu Dao confessed.

The corner of Huangfu Yanling's mouth curled up. Fortunately, he suppressed the news about the Wu family, otherwise this group of people would have escaped.

"Wait until Chang Dutong completes the arrangements." Huangfu Yanling murmured.

Fei Chuan and Pei Nong were silent and waited quietly. Fei Chuan's face was very calm. After all, he came from the battlefield and had long been accustomed to killing people. But Pei Nong, who was a civil servant, was a little nervous.

, occasionally raising his head and looking left and right.

"Master Pei, don't be nervous."

Huangfu Yanling smiled and said: "We have dispatched a total of 300 people for this encirclement and suppression. They cannot escape."

Pei Nong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Everything is entirely under the control of Lord Huangfu. I will give my full cooperation to you!"

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the time slowly came to the second half of the night. The temperature was getting lower and lower. Huangfu Yanling unconsciously closed his collar and looked at Menghe Town again. Most of the candlelight in the entire Menghe Town was

It went out, leaving only sporadic light spots still swaying in the night sky.

I think all the people in Menghe Town have fallen asleep, including those spies from Longxi.

Shaoqing, Yangchuan County Patrol Camp Commander Chang Fang walked over quickly and said in a deep voice to everyone: "Sir Huangfu, the manpower has been arranged. Several roads in and out of Menghe Town have been blocked, including the river.

There are brothers guarding the rivers up and down the coast. Even if they get wings, they can't fly out!"

Chang Fang had a stern look on his face. The spies who came out of the army hated these spies who sneaked into the country the most. Especially this time, what Wang Zong did caused him to lose face. How could he not recover this situation?

"good!"

Huangfu Yanling nodded with satisfaction: "Leave the task of encircling and suppressing the secret agents to me, Wentiansi, and the brothers from the patrol camp will guard the perimeter to prevent any fish that slip through the net from escaping.

I emphasize again, this matter is of great importance and no one will be allowed to escape! Do you understand?"

"promise!"

Huangfu Yanling waved his hand gently:

"action!"

…

A medium-sized inn and restaurant is located by the river. It is only half a mile away from the ferry in Menghe Town, and the location is excellent.

There is a bamboo curtain at the door of the inn, with four square characters written on it:

“Jiangnan Restaurant”

The simple name makes people understand at a glance that the signature of this shop is Jiangnan flavor. The business of the small shop was pretty good in the past. Many businessmen like to stop here for a good meal. The people in the town occasionally
