Chapter 1136 Merging Jiangzhou and Dividing the Rudder
A refugee camp appeared in the northern suburbs of Guanbei City at the end of January. Beiluan County was harassed by the Shaodian Army, and some people who were forced to flee ended up here.
Thousands of people gathered here before the armistice agreement came, but now there are still more than 2,000 people staying to escape the scourge of war.
This campground close to the woods is a mess, with tents, thatched huts, and small buildings made of wooden planks, one on the left and one on the right, some clustered together, and some scattered in the corners.
Some of the people walking around the camp were neatly dressed, some were ragged, some were clean, some were unkempt. There were farmers, traders, craftsmen, and long-term laborers. All men, women, old and young all looked sad.
.
Two old men walked on the road leading to Guanbei City. One was tall and the other was stooped. They walked slowly into the refugee camp.
The tall old man covered his mouth while coughing and said: "Hiding here can indeed hide people's eyes and ears, but how can we get the news in the city in time?"
"My lord, I don't know. There is a lot of information here, and there are people in charge in the city." The rickety old man's face kept pointing to the ground, "You can ask the sub-rudder later. We don't know much about the details at this level."
"Haha, good, that's exactly what it should be."
The tall old man followed the rickety old man to a small building. The rickety old man approached the closed wooden door, stretched out his hand and patted it lightly and heavily several times.
Yea, the wooden door opened, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out, "Hey, his second uncle, why did he bring his friends here today? Come on, come in and sit down."
"A rare visitor, a relative from my hometown." The rickety old man waved to the tall old man, "Old Xie, come on, come on, this is my eldest brother's daughter-in-law, let's go in and sit down."
Lao Xie put on a smile and strode into the wooden door.
The middle-aged woman looked outside the door, then pulled the wooden door shut hard.
"Lao Xie, please sit down first. I'll go up and report." The rickety old man stooped even lower after entering the room.
"Yes." Lao Xie's sleeve brushed against the rickety old man's hand.
Kick-kick, kick-kick, the rickety old man quickly walked up the stairs. His agility was not like that of an old man at all.
The middle-aged woman brought a bowl of water, placed it in front of Lao Xie, and then stood aside without speaking.
Lao Xie hooked the edge of the bowl with his five fingers, pressed the bowl on the table and turned it around. The middle-aged woman opened her eyes slightly, faced Lao Xie, and stood more respectfully.
Ta-ta-ta-ta, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Lao Xie looked up.
A red-faced old man walked down. His eyes first glanced at the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman immediately lowered her head and said, "Bing Jiangzhou Branch Duoliang has met Master Xie first." The red-faced old man quickened his pace and walked down the stairs.
The rickety old man also followed downstairs.
Lao Xie sat firmly in his chair and said with a smile: "Master Liang, you don't have to be polite. Come, sit down and talk." He looked like a superior.
"Thank you, Hall Master." The red-faced Liang came to sit down first, stretched out his hand and handed over a dark brown sign, "I am responsible for your duty and I dare to check your token."
The rickety old man came to stand next to the middle-aged woman.
Lao Xie put away the dark brown sign and said sternly: "Recognize the sign but not the person. This is our rule. The people in your branch have done a good job. From the contact point to here, they have behaved very professionally. It can be said that they are no better than Lu Guotang."
Difference."
"Master Xie, I'm overly complimentary. To be honest, I have never met a colleague from Jiguo Hall. I am honored to meet Hall Master Xie for the first time." Liang Xian knew in his heart that the surname and appearance of the Hall Master may be fake, but his position
It must be true.
Both the rickety old man and the middle-aged woman tested Lao Xie, and Lao Xie's response was not bad at all. In addition, the token was indeed real, so Liang Xian did not doubt Lao Xie's identity.
After Ding Qi disappeared, Ding Kui took on the important role of the hall leader, and Lao Xie was naturally him.
After the greetings, Ding Kui went straight to the topic: "I have two things to do here this time. One is that I want to know the origin of a dominating knight. His name is Hengzhu, and he is estimated to be around sixty years old. The other is that I want to bring a woman with me.
When a companion enters the Demonic Branch, it is best to use the portal with an identity."
"Hengzhu is aware of his humble position. He was summoned from the country earlier and asked to inquire about this person. He is from the family of Duke Heng of his own country, Zhuguo.
The fiefdom of the Heng family, Duke of Zhuguo, was in Zhuguo County, East Yuzhou, and they had long occupied the seat of the elders in the Senate. The Heng family was famous in their country.
The Heng family and the Zhan family are related by marriage. Hengzhu is fifty this year. He has known Zhanjie since he was a child. The two are good friends." Liang Xianyou investigated Hengzhu.
"There is no information about Hengzhu's fighting spirit. Isn't he famous in his country?" Ding Kui heard the problem.
Liang Xian looked embarrassed and said: "Well, Hengzhu is the younger brother of the contemporary Zhu Guogong. His reputation has been overshadowed by the contemporary Zhu Guogong. Everyone knows Zhu Guogong but not Hengzhu. Very little news about him has been spread.
, not to mention his fighting spirit cultivation."
"I asked him why he wanted to avenge Zhan Jie. The two guys have similar life experiences, and neither of them gets the attention of the family." Ding Kui was relieved.
"Hengzhu wants to avenge Zhanjie? Where did the news come from, sir?" Liang Xian seemed not to know about Hengzhu's appointment with Ding Kui.
"I just came out of China, and when I passed by the border, I heard Ding's consort say that he asked me to find out about Hengzhu and find out why he went to the border between the two countries to cause trouble for his consort." Ding Kui knew that he had let the matter slip.
Liang Xian said solemnly: "Hengzhu is looking for trouble for Ding's consort. No wonder, Ding's consort is from our espionage department. The domestic summons is probably at the request of the consort. That humble official must investigate this person in detail, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the consort.
.”
The Spy Intelligence Division is a special group that is feared and hated by outsiders. It is very united internally. Even if you have been in the Spy Intelligence Division, you will be treated as one of your own by the Spy Intelligence Division.
Ding Kui was a member of the Spy Intelligence Department not long after he was born, and later supervised the Spy Intelligence Department. Everyone in the spy system knows him.
"Maybe I will see Hengzhu when I turn back. You guys can help me keep an eye on his whereabouts. It's best to know his exact whereabouts."
Ding Kui is more afraid of Hengzhu and not worried about Pudun. No matter how powerful the fire magician is, as long as he does not exceed the taboo level, he will not be a threat to him.
Even though Pudun has the ultimate flame shield array, Ding Kui and Ao Yan can be killed as long as he is alone, but Hengzhu is not easy to kill if he is alone, and Hengzhu has helpers around him.
Yan Lianmen sounds powerful, but if he can't catch up with Ding Kui, he will never be a threat.
"The lower-ranking people will do their best. As for the Demon Merger Branch, it's not difficult for you to sneak in and have a look, but it's not easy to lead people to use the portal." Liang Xian looked troubled.
It is true that he is responsible for the intelligence work of Jiangzhou, but that is a shady activity. No country can allow foreign spies to easily access such important places as the Magic Guild. Those who are qualified to use the portal are either rich or noble, and every time they use it
All have records, and spies will leave clues if they use them, which can be easily exposed.
Ding Kui also knew that this matter was not easy, so he had to settle for the next best thing and said: "I want information about magicians from outside. It's best if I don't know anyone in the Demon Branch at all. Well, I want a man and a woman."
"Magicians from other places still require one man and one woman. Please do your best in your humble duties. To be honest, we rarely deal with magicians." Liang Xian felt that the master of Lu Guo Hall was too difficult to serve.
Ding Kui dipped his fingers in the water in the bowl and wrote a few words on the table: "This is where I will stay. Send the news there."
The rickety old man and the middle-aged woman nodded to Liang after reading.
Just as Liang Xiang was about to speak, Ding Kui stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Tell them to get out of the way."
"You guys go upstairs." Liang Xian turned around and said.
The rickety old man and the middle-aged woman walked up the stairs one after another.
"This is the identity mark of Hall Master Lu Guo. Please write it to your hall master." Ding Kui drew another symbol on the table.
Liang Xian quickly wrote it down.
Ding Kui continued to draw another symbol until Liang nodded to indicate that he had remembered it, and then wiped away the water stains with his hand.
"The following is the new logo, which will be used by Master Lu Guo next time. The old one will be invalid from now on."
The identity of the hall leader is usually known only to the hall leader, but hall leaders from various countries rarely have the opportunity to meet each other, and sometimes an intermediary is required to pass it on.
Ding Kui contacted Bingjiangzhou branch as the hall leader. When the hall leader of Jiguo learns about it, he will check the sign to ensure the safety of this contact.
The hall leader's identity badge must be replaced after being used once, and the same logo will not be used for a long time.
Ding Kui left the refugee camp alone, found a place outside the city to change his clothes, disguised himself as a middle-aged man and sneaked into Guanbei City, and then changed into a young man in the city.
Whoosh, Ao Yan teleported over from next door when she knew Ding Kui was back.
"Be careful. It's not far from the magic branch here. It's easy for people to notice you using magic." Ding Kui was startled.
"It's okay. I've set up magic circles in both rooms. There shouldn't be anyone here who can detect it. How about it? Have you found a way?"
Ao Yan was really bored by herself, so she rummaged through the two rooms they wanted, and during the process, she arranged an isolation circle.
"Hengzhu is from one of the ten major families in our country. I understand this." Ding Kui raised a finger.
"Tch, no matter what family he is, kill him if you have the chance." Ao Yan didn't care about Heng Zhu.
Ding Kui spread his hands: "I can sneak into the magic branch, but I can't help you use the portal. Where are you going? If it's not far, let's fly there."
"I didn't know where I was going until I got the portal, but I guess the place I'm going to is quite far, otherwise they wouldn't have guided me through the portal."
There is a conversation in the void.
"Does it need to be so complicated?"
"Do you think I'm willing to give it? It's best if they can't go, then it's not my problem."
"Why bother, you already agreed."
"What? Do you want me to help them?"
"Okay, okay, whatever."
The next day, Ding Kui went out alone again and wandered around the Magic Branch, carefully observing the people entering and leaving the Magic Branch.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into his eyes.
"Eh? It's him! Hahaha, there's no place to look for even if you wear iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. The matter of using the teleportation gate falls on him." Ding Kui quickly followed.
A knight mounted the horse that had been raised by his attendants, and trotted into the streets of Guanbei City, unaware that someone was following him on the street.
Not long after, the knight and his party came to a magnificent restaurant. Ding Kui hid on the corner of the street and watched the knight enter the restaurant.
"Ah ha, it looks like it's time for lunch. Did he make an appointment or eat by himself?" Ding Kui touched his chin.
