Occasionally, you can hear the squeaking sound of the large waterwheel rotating by the river.
Hou Junji has a separate small courtyard. The environment is even more beautiful than the Hou Mansion. When you open the window, there is a small courtyard with good greening outside. Beyond the fence of the courtyard, you can see the Bahe River in the distance.
In the distance are the hazy mountains.
A full moon hangs in the sky, like a heavy rain disk.
The room was pitch dark.
Hou Junji moved the table to the window, opened the window, took advantage of the moonlight, spread out the paper on the table, took out the brush, and began to write.
In a short time, Hou Junji recorded everything he saw and heard today, no matter how big or small, everything was recorded clearly.
I saw that what he wrote was in small regular script, with a slender handwriting. You had to get closer to see it clearly.
Hou Junji put down the brush, picked up the two pieces of paper, rolled them into two cylinders, and carefully tied them with silk thread. Then he turned around and walked to the middle of the room, opened a cage, took out two carrier pigeons, and put the two pieces of paper together.
Tied to the pigeon's leg.
When he came to the window, Hou Jun threw his hands together, and the two white homing pigeons flew away with fluttering wings.
Hou Junji then said with confidence: "On the first day at Dream Group, I gained a lot."
Thinking of Li Er working as an undercover agent and being able to obtain the unknown secrets of the Dream Group, Hou Junji felt less uncomfortable in his heart.
He stepped forward and was about to close the window and go to bed when he smelled the smell of barbecue.
He sniffed his nose and felt a little hungry, so he turned around and went out, opened the courtyard door, and walked out. He saw a small fire burning on the bank of the Bahe River not far away, and two people were sitting on the bank.
, as if grilling meat.
Hou Junji lost all sleep for a moment and walked over with curiosity.
The two people beside the fire were both known to Hou Junji. One was Zhang Jian and the other was Xu Zhengdao.
Originally, he could have turned around and gone back to sleep, but as a qualified undercover agent, Hou Junji decided to infiltrate the enemy to obtain more intelligence.
Hou Junji stepped forward and said with a smile: "How elegant you two are. On such a full moon night, you come to the Bahe River to barbecue. It would be better if you have wine."
Swish.
Xu Zhengdao waved his hand, and a wine bottle flew over. Hou Junji took it, lowered his head, took a sip, and praised: "Good wine, good wine, hahaha..."
Xu Zhengdao raised his head and said, "Master Hou, do you want to eat chicken?"
"You can give it a try, I happen to be hungry." Hou Junji moved a stone to sit down and said impatiently.
Xu Zhengdao handed over the baked goods in his hand.
Hou Junji took it with a smile, but was stunned for a moment.
This roasted thing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, is clearly not a chicken. It is just a little bigger than a fist. Could it be a chicken?
Then he took a closer look and suddenly looked horrified.
He discovered that the roasted object in his hand was not a chicken, but a bird. To be precise, it was a pigeon. On the right leg of the pigeon, there was a very special copper ring. This copper ring was unknown to others. Hou Junji
But it is clear that this is a copper ring that can only be worn by homing pigeons used by secret guards.
He looked at Xu Zhengdao's hand and saw a pigeon being roasted.
Immediately, he understood that the two pigeons he had released had been roasted.
Snapped.
Zhang Jian came over, slapped Hou Junji on the shoulder, and said, "Master Hou, eat quickly. If you don't eat it, it will get cold later. It won't taste good when it's hard, so it's better if it's soft."
"Good, woo woo, delicious..."
With tears in his eyes, Hou Junji ate the homing pigeon he had released just a moment ago.
After a while, he returned to his room in tears.
He hurriedly closed the door and window, came to a box, took out the key and opened the box, only to see that everything inside was gone.
For a moment, Hou Junji broke into cold sweat in his vest.
…
By the Ba River, Du He stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the small courtyard where Hou Junji lived.
Xu Zhengdao said coldly: "This old boy dared to pass on the secrets of our Dream Group. It seems that the emperor sent him to spy on the military situation. We might as well kill him and throw him into the river to float away."
This kind of rebellious and unethical thing is like rebellion, and only Xu Zhengdao dared to say it casually.
Hearing this, Du He said somewhat speechlessly: "Hou Junji is also a dignified minister of the Ministry of War after all. His Majesty's capable general. If I really kill him, I'm afraid of endless troubles, so I just give him a warning."
Zhang Jian suddenly guessed and said: "Master, do you think our enemy could be Master Hou? He is the Minister of War and your Majesty's favorite. He sent people to poison your mounts, bribed the Imperial Army, and bribed the Guanghua Gate.
Everything is possible, but now that he comes to our Dream Group, he is not at ease."
Du He thought deeply: "It's not impossible. Let's do it this way. He's already here, so let him work hard for us. He's a fox, and his tail will show up sooner or later."
Du He waved his hand, turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
Hou Junji was still sleeping when he heard a clanging sound outside.
He rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and got up, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is this Dream Group so early in the morning?"
When I opened the door, I saw Du He and others waiting at the door.
"Du He, you are fully dressed, are you going out?" Hou Junji looked at Du He and asked curiously.
Du He nodded: "Master Hou, don't forget that you are now a member of the Dream Group. You are here to work for me, not to enjoy life. Now, leave immediately."
When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately cheered up and followed Du He's men to Chang'an City without even having time to eat breakfast.
Not long after, Du He led his troops to the vicinity of Yonghefang.
From a distance, I saw a large number of Chang'an County government officials present, surrounding Yonghefang.
Seeing Du He and others, Chang'an County Magistrate Xu Zhiyuan ran over.
"Oh, Uncle Yixian, you are here. The other five houses are all empty now, but there are four or five households in Yonghe Square. They refuse to move at any cost. They are asking for high prices, saying that they want to move out.
Each household was given a compensation of 300,000 guan before they could move out. In the past few days, there is really nothing I can do for the lower officials. Please let the county magistrate make it clear." Xu Zhiyuan said, sweating profusely.
Du He stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu. I won't trouble your people anymore. You can let the brothers withdraw. Leave the rest to me. I have already established the Dream Group."
Demolition brigade, this is the captain of our demolition brigade."
With that said, Du He pulled Hou Junji out.
Xu Zhiyuan was stunned. It was the first time he heard what the demolition brigade said, and he was a little curious.
When I took a closer look, I was scared to death. Isn’t this Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War? When did he become the captain of the demolition brigade?
