After a busy day, Princess Weini finally put all the things in order. Now she needs to take a rest, take a bath, and put on new clothes before setting off tomorrow morning.
What girl doesn't love beauty.
Now, Princess Weini is taking a bath in the VIP guest room. There is a big wooden bucket here, the kind that can make people float in it. The bucket is filled with milky white milk. After washing, there will be a smell of milk on her body.
Because of its aroma, guests who come from the grassland like to choose this.
There is also a flower petal bath, which is a popular choice among guests from Central China.
Of course, all services are free.
Princess Weini was really an eye-opener. If she hadn't been in a hurry, she would have wanted to stay a few more days and experience what a flower petal bath is like.
…
Xiao Yao took Ke Jianglong to the beggar's shack. Ke Jianglong was tired for a day and could finally rest.
At noon, Xiao Yao remembered that Ke Jianglong was injured, so he asked Huang Xiaoshi for some gold sore medicine and applied it to Ke Jianglong.
Tonight, in order to prevent someone from repeating the same trick and kidnapping the princess, Xiao Yao is going to keep vigil.
To put it simply, it means squatting in the corner outside the guest room where Princess Wei Ni rests for a whole night.
Ke Jianglong encouraged Xiao Yao and patted his hand. This kid has grown up a lot in the past few years.
After Xiao Yao left the beggar's shack, he turned a few corners and headed towards another alley.
After gathering his breath and hiding for a long time, Xiao Yao didn't notice anyone following him. He walked through the alley and walked quickly for a while before arriving at a residence.
Then, Xiao Yao jumped over the wall and entered. After entering the courtyard, he did not move, but whispered the code word.
This is Dongchang's secret contact point in Luoyang City.
After accidentally rescuing Princess Weini and causing a serious disaster, Ke Jianglong was anxious and anxious, but Xiao Yao only looked anxious on the surface, but in fact he was very stable in his heart.
Because as long as the princess is in his hands, he can contact Dongchang to pick her up at any time.
However, Xiao Yao has one of the most difficult things, which is how to send out the information about Princess Weini under the eyes of the master, and how to let the people of Dongchang pick up the princess in a reasonable way without the master becoming suspicious.
Walk.
Otherwise, if the princess was snatched last night and people from Dongchang came to pick her up in a sedan today, wouldn't Xiao Yao be equivalent to shouting in Ke Jianglong's ear: "I am Dongchang's informant!"
In fact, none of the things spies do is difficult, but the difficulty lies in their ability to do things quietly, so that others will not discover their identities when the things are done well.
This is the most important thing Xiao Yao learned from Lu Shaolin.
Once, after Lu Shaolin got drunk, he said to Xiao Yao with a mouth full of alcohol: "Xiao Yao, your temperament is not suitable for drinking, because you can't control your heart after drinking.
Look at what you said just now. If I pick out a sentence or two and report it to you, it will be a capital crime for you."
"Remember, Xiao Yao." Lu Shaolin put his face in front of Xiao Yao and said, "Never let anyone discover your true identity."
…
He wanted to allow the people in Dongchang to pick up the princess with peace of mind, but also to make the master suspect that he was tipping off the news, so Xiao Yao came up with the idea of finding a new send-off team.
The idea was not to deceive the court, but to deceive Ke Jianglong and Princess Wei Ni.
If you want to deceive the emperor, it is actually very simple. All you need is the help of people from Dongchang to conceal it.
As for Xiao Yao's contact with the princess, what happened?
Eunuchs can touch it, but beggars can't?
As long as the people in Dongchang don't say anything, will the emperor know?
However, Ke Jianglong never thought about cooperating with Dongchang. In his mind, how could he collude with Dongchang.
That's why we have such a complicated arrangement.
After reorganizing the escorting team, people from Dongchang come to visit again. Ke Jianglong and Princess Weini will think that their plan has succeeded, and then they will not suspect Xiao Yao.
This time, Xiao Yao realized the sadness of being a spy. Not only did he have to deceive his enemies, but he also had to deceive his friends. The most difficult thing was to deceive the people around him.
Of course, the most troublesome root cause of this incident is indeed Ke Jianglong. This was originally a matter of Dongchang, but Ke Jianglong intervened and ruined the food.
If Ke Jianglong was not here, there would be no need for Princess Weini to be brought back to Luoyang. Huang Xiaoshi and Xiao Yao handed her over to Lu Shaolin last night.
Then again, if Ke Jianglong is not here, will Princess Weini still wait for them on the dock obediently?
There are no fish in the pond, will anyone still spread bait?
It has become obvious by now that someone has set up a deep trap, and the layout is very subtle, involving all parties.
Because the fish Ke Jianglong was lured bit by bit by the opponent with bait more than a month ago. Without Ke Jianglong, this game would not be possible.
As for why Ke Jianglong was chosen, I can only say that his status, personal character, and martial arts skills are too perfect, and he is too suitable to be a troublemaker.
Xiao Yao even felt that one of the other party's purposes was to pin the charge of "breaking the marriage" on the Beggar Gang.
If Xiao Yao hadn't happened to be Dongchang's spy, Ke Jianglong would definitely have caused something big. Only then did he realize that it was already too late.
…
It didn't take Xiao Yao a second thought, and it didn't take long for Bai Jiuchi to realize that this matter had nothing to do with Princess Wei Ni, and even Ke Jianglong was just collateral damage, and the other party came for King Cheng.
This incident dealt a serious blow to King Cheng and all the forces under King Cheng.
First of all, the Tianlong Sect almost fell out with King Cheng.
The nomadic tribe secretly went to make peace with the imperial court behind the back of the Tianlong Sect. Regardless of whether the marriage was successful or not, the Tianlong Sect had lost almost all value to King Cheng.
If you don't know, that's incompetence; if you know, that's betrayal.
All in all, the Tianlong Sect is no longer available.
Dongchang's emperor's mission was disturbed by someone this time. If this matter goes wrong, people in Dongchang will die, many, many people will die.
With Dongchang's ability, they can quickly find out who killed them and ruined their affairs. By then, the fragile alliance just formed between Chen Chongying and King Cheng will collapse or a huge crack will appear.
The Lord of Tianyi City also has a headache now. The failure of this operation caused him to lose a lot of points in the eyes of King Cheng.
This time Tianyi City not only lost face, but also got spanked.
The assassin sent out was killed silently, and the target person was also lost.
But with such a big accident happening in Tianyi City, we really can't blame Jiang Tianxiong for not paying attention to it. It's really because he has no one in his hands now.
Ever since the destruction of the [Wasteful Flowers] team, Jiang Tianxiong has no one who is more capable of fighting. It is difficult to train new people, and it is even harder to train masters, and Jiang Tianxiong himself has many bright things.
, if he could separate himself, he would definitely go by himself.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Tianxiong decided to activate a new killer, codenamed [Di].
This Princess Weini incident, just such a twist, caused multiple critical blows to King Cheng's forces.
Bai Jiuchi vaguely felt that the emperor had probably already freed up his hands, and he might be ready to attack King Cheng next.
…
Xiao Yao jumped into the secret stronghold of Dongchang and spoke the code word first, but no one came.
Xiao Yao is anxious to see the liaison in Luoyang City. He reported the letter to Xiao Yao yesterday, and now Xiao Yao needs to report to him about Princess Weini.
As for Xiao Yao beating away a Dongchang father-in-law last night, the relationship is both big and small.
Xiao Yao is right about one thing. Most eunuchs are ruthless, unyielding, greedy for money and power, and unwilling to give in to an inch of profit. They are all ruthless characters, but you can't offend them if you don't say it.
Xiao Yao heard Lu Shaolin say that Dongchang uses the method of cultivating gu. When something happens, only look at the results, not the means or the process. Not to mention the internal strife in Dongchang, it is just between several subordinates under the same person.
They will also fight among themselves to compete for a little credit.
Regarding internal fighting, Dongchang not only does not prohibit it, but even acquiesces to it. They believe that maintaining a certain degree of internal fighting, as long as the scope is controlled, is actually beneficial because the waste can be cleared out faster.
Although some personnel will always be lost due to internal fighting and severe punishment after failure, those who can break out of this environment are all outstanding among them.
However, it is precisely because of this that when people in the East Factory do something bad, their first reaction is to cover the lid.
If the cover is successful, not only can the danger be averted, but you may also be able to take the opportunity to move up a level. If you fail to cover it up, or the disaster becomes bigger and bigger, you will have to risk your life in the end.
Therefore, Xiao Yao offended a father-in-law last night, but as long as he was not Lu Shaolin's immediate superior, that is, his direct superior, it actually didn't matter much.
Xiao Yao only needs to be responsible to Lu Shaolin.
…
Xiao Yao rushed into the room with a few hurried steps. He found that Dongchang's secret contact was being tied to a large round table. His mouth was gagged with a rag, but he was already taking in more air than coming out.
Beside the table, a young man was drinking.
"What is this?" Xiao Yao asked Lu Shaolin.
"He has recruited all the cheating guys. He leaked the information this time, but he doesn't know who the other party is." Lu Shaolin explained to Xiao Yao.
After the dock was empty today, Lu Shaolin went directly to Luoyang City and executed the contact person of this stronghold on the spot.
Of course, Lu Shaolin had no evidence, he just had suspicions.
Lu Shaolin wondered why such a secret operation could still be leaked.
Generally speaking, where something goes wrong, there is the greatest suspicion.
Because this time the news must not only be accurate, but timeliness is also very important. If it can intercept people just right, it means it is accurate from point to point.
Without evidence, Lu Shaolin would not say that he would give in and give in. If he didn't ask anything until tomorrow morning, it would mean that he was really wrong and he would apologize.
But as soon as Lu Shaolin's eighteen martial arts skills were used, this man took action.
After Lu Shaolin saw Xiao Yao, he was not in a hurry. His first words were: "Xiao Yao, the princess is with you."
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, nodded, and asked: "How do you know."
Lu Shaolin said calmly: "I guessed it by looking at you. If the princess was not in your hands, you would definitely not be like this now."
Xiao Yao learned a lesson.
When Lu Shaolin went to the dock today, he rushed to the dock and found nothing.
Lu Shaolin came all the way along the river on horseback. He didn't see the boat or the princess, so the first thing Lu Shaolin did was not go find the princess, but instead turned to the stronghold here in Luoyang.
If Lu Shaolin guessed correctly, the dock was a trap and had been stepped on, so it was cleaned so cleanly.
This is called anti-tracking.
Lu Shaolin immediately understood what happened. Although he didn't know what happened here and who stepped on the trap, it was not difficult for him to follow the train of thought and find that there was something wrong with the information transmission link.
After having this inference, Lu Shaolin naturally did not look for evidence.
Evidence, it’s ridiculous. When does Dongchang need to look for evidence? Isn’t it just a matter of having hands?
Lu Shaolin didn't need any other torture tools. He just used his internal force to pound and swim through the opponent's meridians. Not many people could endure this kind of pain that penetrated the skin, penetrated the six organs, and covered the entire body.
It was only after the torture that Lu Shaolin found out that Xiao Yao was also in Luoyang, so the person who stepped on the trap last night was Xiao Yao.
Lu Shaolin was very calm and he was waiting here.
If there is a glimmer of hope now, it is Xiao Yao's martial arts.
Xiao Yao's martial arts is very strong and he is the best among this generation of martial arts rookies.
You know, this is a generation of thousands of newcomers to the martial arts world. Xiao Yao can hold the top ten rankings, which in itself explains a lot of things.
If the princess and Xiao Yao are both captured, the other party may turn around and silence them. If something goes wrong this time, he will die sooner or later, so it is better to die in a clearer way.
In other words, dying here may allow the family to escape joint punishment.
Princess Wei Ni was kidnapped. Many people in Dongchang will die this time, many, many people, including Lu Shaolin.
After all, this matter is too big and cannot even be suppressed by the factory owner.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses. Does anyone think this is just an adjective?
If there was any luck and it was Xiao Yao who rescued the princess, he would also come here to find someone.
As expected, Lu Shaolin, who had been waiting patiently, arrived at Xiao Yao.
Not to mention his knowledge and handling skills, Lu Shaolin was much better than Xiao Yao just because of his patience.
Afterwards, Xiao Yao briefly told Lu Shaolin what happened last night and today.
When Lu Shaolin heard that there were people from Dongchang coming to snatch the princess, he frowned. Then Lu Shaolin raised his head and said to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, you were fooled. That father-in-law is fake."
"What?" Xiao Yao was startled. How could my father-in-law be fake?
No, what Lu Shaolin should be saying is that this father-in-law is not one of our own.
"Why?" Xiao Yao asked in shock.
"Just think about it and you will know. You are really one of our own. Let me ask you, is life or the princess more important?" Lu Shaolin asked Xiao Yao.
After Xiao Yao thought for a moment, he sighed and replied: "Princess."
"By the way. If that person is really one of our own, he will definitely try his best to stop you instead of leaving with a few harsh words." Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "You know, this is a person who has been waiting for several lifetimes.
It may not be possible to achieve great achievements.
People die for wealth and birds die for food. If we don’t work hard at this time, what’s the use of living?”
Although Xiao Yao has been trained to study since he was a child, he is just a middle-aged man. Lu Shaolin has already figured things out, and he is still halfway there.
Xiao Yao quickly asked Lu Shaolin: "Then, who is that person?"
"The person who killed our people." Lu Shaolin patiently explained to Xiao Yao: "You think he is saving people, but in fact he was a murderer in the past. After he killed all the people, he then pretended to save people.
In this way, stay with the princess.
His target should be Ke Jianglong.
You said that his martial arts skills are very high, not inferior to Ke Jianglong's.
If the person who comes is one of our own, he will kill him again. If the person who comes is Ke Jianglong, he will pretend to retreat and give the princess to you.
As for why he did this, I think he wanted to provoke a big fight between the Central Plains martial arts community and Dongchang.
You know how big this matter is, and you also know Dongchang's style of doing things."
"So, the Beggar Gang will inevitably be attacked by the entire court?" Xiao Yao murmured, "Why would he do this?"
"It's not the Beggar Clan, it's the entire Central Plains martial arts world.
Didn’t you say that this person is colluding with the Tianlong Sect? You martial arts people are originally the enemies of the Tianlong Sect." Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao's mind was confused and he said: "Could it be that the Tianlong Sect is behind this matter?"
Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "I don't know, but judging from the position, the possibility of Tianlong Sect is very high.
As far as I know, the Tianlong Sect is clearly opposed to the peace talks between the imperial court and the Nomadic Ministry. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Oh my god, Xiao Yao's brain was completely turned into a bag of mush. He couldn't play such a high-IQ game at all.
Of course, Lu Shaolin thinks more than Xiao Yao, and some reasons are that Lu Shaolin has more information.
The Tianlong Sect is a subordinate of King Cheng. There is now a huge gap between the Tianlong Sect and King Cheng. There is a fundamental conflict of interest between the Tianlong Sect and King Cheng.
The Tianlong Sect neither wants the peace talks to succeed, nor does it want King Cheng to get Princess Wei Ni and build a relationship with the Nomads, so leaving Princess Wei Ni to the Beggar Gang Ke Jianglong is like killing three birds with one stone.
…
"What's next?" Xiao Yao asked Lu Shaolin.
"Next, drink this man some wine and throw him into the well in the yard. After you're done, go and guard the princess." After Lu Shaolin finished speaking to Xiao Yao, he got up and left.
After walking out of the house, Lu Shaolin raised his head and glanced at the sky. He didn't even open the door, but jumped over the wall and went out.
Lu Shaolin now faces a difficult choice, whether to hand over the princess to King Cheng or to Dongchang.
Xiao Yao chose to hand over the princess to Dongchang without hesitation. In his mind, it was not that Dongchang was more important than King Cheng, but that peace in the world was more important than King Cheng.
And what about Lu Shaolin?
"Well, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced. No wonder the spies have to die a good death in the end."
Lu Shaolin sighed quietly.
It is difficult to be a spy, but even more difficult to be a double agent, because no matter what you do, you will betray another master.
Many people only know that Lu Shaolin is young and rich, but they don't know how he lives every day.
"This is really not how people live!"
Lu Shaolin sighed leisurely, but this is a road of no return. Once you are on the road, you will not look back until you reach the end of the world.
