Seeing seven or eight men standing tremblingly in the crowd, Guard Batu wearing a black and red cloak was a little surprised, but still asked indifferently: "Oh? Then you can talk about it."
Hearing Batu's slightly murderous words, several people who were already frightened immediately collapsed to the ground and shouted incoherently. It was obvious that these people were stimulated by the previous bloody scene, and they were probably dragged out just now.
Among the corpses were their companions.
"We, we are following orders, we are not rebels!" One of them cried with his eyes wide open.
"Whose orders are you listening to?" Batu asked with a frown.
"We are the Shahe Gang, guys from the Shahe Gambling House!" Another man replied.
"Oh? Shahe Gang? Are you just taking orders from Yin Shisan?"
All the gambling gangs present looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the leader replied: "We don't know the people behind the scenes. We are only following the orders of our helmsman, Hong Mole."
Batu nodded. Obviously, it was impossible for this group of low-level guys to come into contact with a person like Yin Shisan. After all, their identities were very different.
"Then tell me, what does the helmsman of Shahe Casino order you to do?"
The leading man trembled slightly and replied in a trembling voice: "Open... ventilate... report, report!"
The man wearing a black and red cloak waved his palm and asked sternly: "At this time, you are still hesitating? Do you think you have a long life?!"
The gambling shop boy immediately kowtowed, and while kowtowing, he said: "Lord Hong Mole ordered me to go west after leaving the city, and I will meet someone who will meet us. After hearing the code word, tell him that southwest
Xuanwu Gate has been breached!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a commotion in the surroundings. Only then did everyone present realize that this was not an act at all, but someone actually successfully attacked and blasted open the southwest door!
Batu took two steps forward and picked up the gambling shop guy like a chicken. He looked directly into his hasty eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the person who reported the news?!"
The man said with a pale face: "I, we don't know either. We can only rely on code words to determine whether it is them."
"What code word?"
The gambling shop clerk swallowed his saliva and said in a solemn voice: "We will ask, we will not accept gifts for the holidays this year!"
Then without waiting for Batu to urge him, he continued to explain: "The other party will answer, only accept gifts, what a secret!"
If there were still doubts about the power hidden behind the messenger before, then when he heard this code word, Batu had basically determined who the other party was. In other words, he had basically determined who the red mole of the Shahe Gang was.
Who do things for?
The answer is self-evident, it is Chunfeng Town!
First of all, the closest force to the Xuanwu Gate in the southwest of Luoye City is Chunfeng Town, plus Ji Rentu, who is giving gifts in Chunfeng Town at this time. The old boss’s mission this time is to open up Chunfeng Town by giving gifts.
The town's high-level relations are established in order to establish a harmonious relationship with the entire Chunfeng Town.
It is said to be a union, but in fact it is not much different from annexation. At most, it is to use relatively gentle means to clean up the entire top management of Chunfeng Town.
This matter is a well-known secret to the top management of Luoye City, but to the guy in this gambling house, there is absolutely no chance that he would use this matter as a code word for communication by accident!
Finally, this guy also said the most crucial point, the "real secret"!
This also makes Batu have to choose to believe that there is really such a person in Luoye City, who already knows everything about Luoye's actions in Chunfeng Town.
And judging from his level of understanding, he was already horrified enough to discover that the secret book sent by Ji Rentu might not be entirely true!
You must know that Ji Rentu's mission is already a valuable piece of secret information, and the issue of true and false secrets is even more stringent. If Batu himself is not the guard guarding the Xuanwu Gate in the southwest, he can monitor it at any time
Regarding the entry and exit of the southwest arsenal, he will not find the tricks in these martial arts secrets.
However, Batu did not know that the "code word" that he thought was the key evidence was also carefully designed by everyone. Its proposer was none other than Li Xintian, a fair-skinned girl who has always been quirky.
The misleading effect of this code word is indeed significant. Batu has formed a stereotyped prejudice against Chunfeng Town and firmly believes in it.
The guard wearing a black and red cloak immediately ordered the surrounding black-armored soldiers:
"Capture all these people and send them to the camp in the south of the city for Master Qin to make a decision. Send someone to notify Baruch and immediately take them to the border with Chunfeng Town and wait for orders."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the terrace above the city gate.
Batu quickly returned to his room in the terrace. The room was extremely simple in layout, without any complicated furniture, just a desk, a wicker chair, and a soft chair in the corner.
As for decoration, there are only iron bows hanging on the wall and armor piled next to the cave.
Batu found a piece of white paper from the table and started writing quickly. After drinking tea, he called over a soldier wearing pitch black armor.
"Give this news to the governor! Guard, hurry up!" As he said this, he took out a black and red seal and put it on the cover of the letter.
The soldier did not dare to delay at all. He naturally knew what level of emergency military situation "the guard is urgent" meant. The soldier retreated from the house, ran down the tower quickly, mounted a fast horse, and galloped towards the prefecture's mansion in the city.
And go.
…
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar was throwing handfuls of fish food into the lake. A group of colorful fish that were more than ten feet long surrounded him.
Although these fish are not small in size, they have extremely docile temperaments. Floating on the water, they not only compete for the fish food dropped by the middle-aged scholar, but their chubby bodies reveal a sense of laziness and ease.
These colorful big fish are called Yunxiao carp. They are a special fish species of Luoyun Kingdom. It is said that this kind of fish has extremely deep spiritual wisdom, and their life span is longer than that of human beings.
The royal family of Luo Yun Kingdom often gave this kind of fish to the royal families of other countries, or rewarded their ministers. The Yunxiao Pond in the governor's mansion was the pond that Ji Shenfu dug to welcome these Yunxiao carps.
However, this digging revealed a vast lake with blue waves, which also reflected Ji Shenfu's respect for the reward from Luo Yun Kingdom.
After a few decades, the number of Yunxiao carp multiplied from a few to hundreds.
…
"Report! Military information ahead!" A man dressed as a boy bowed and said outside the court.
Ji Shenfu raised his head and glanced at the blue sky above his head, and said softly: "Just wait and see later."
The boy paused for a moment, and then replied bravely: "Master, the general is in urgent need of help!"
As the overlord of Luoye County, he has the right to speak out on everything. Therefore, it is very rare for this young man to fail to implement the arrangements immediately after receiving clear arrangements from the Lord Commander like today. Qiandu Chinese

Fortunately, the weight of these four words "the guard is urgent" is indeed worthy of it.
Ji Shenfu, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, frowned, but still waved to the boy to bring the letter up. Looking at the bright red guard seal on the cover of the letter, he had no choice but to take out the letter inside and read it.
Sincerely, Lord Commander:
Batu, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, is here to give you advice on an urgent matter! At noon today, the place where I was guarding was suddenly attacked by thieves, and the city gate was broken! This is my fault, and I will have no regrets even if I die! Later, I will investigate it, and it is Zhenwu.
It was caused by a crossbow thunder! I suspected that thieves had stolen the arsenal in the south of the city and destroyed it. However, the matter was not clear yet, so I looked again and found that anyone who wanted to communicate outside the city was the people of Shahe...
He wrote a eloquent letter, explaining the general matter to Ji Shenfu.
The city guard general named Batu was quite upright, and he did not use too many empty words, nor did he deliberately hide his faults. However, even with such a letter, Ji Shenfu still looked gloomy.
"Come here, make two copies of this letter and pass it to Qin Kai and Yin Shisan for them to read!"
The Lord Commander did not immediately listen to the advice of the general who defended the city. After all, Ji Rentu's mission to Chunfeng Town was of great importance and he could not change his actions rashly. After all, this was a major matter involving war or peace between the two forces.

Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua looked at the enchanting woman in front of them with admiration on their faces.
"Miss Qin, your plan is really brilliant!" Even Xia Mingfei, who had never spoken much, praised her.
The woman with a red mole under her eye laughed at herself and said, "They are all unattractive things. There is nothing surprising about them."
Li Xintian smiled on the side and said: "Sister Qin will not be happy if someone hears what she said. In his words, it is better to use your brain than your hands!"
Qin Hongyao smiled and continued: "The code word you are thinking of is not very good. At least it can be remembered by people as soon as they hear it, and it is also a metaphor for Chunfeng Town."
The fair-skinned girl smiled slightly and explained: "Hey, I didn't say that."
The woman raised her eyebrows with a playful look on her face: "Oh? Who is that? Is he the same person you just mentioned?"
Li Xintian was stunned for a moment, and his cheeks turned slightly red.
Seeing this, the enchanting woman, who has been here for a long time, naturally understands the mentality of these little daughters. Once upon a time, wasn't she the same age? When her eldest sister asked herself what kind of husband she wanted to find in the future, she felt so frightened.
Move the mood.
She is as young as a flower! There is not much love between men and women, just pure love, as clear as a mountain spring.
At this moment, a red bird flew into the courtyard and chirped non-stop on Xia Mingfei's shoulder.
After three breaths, the round-faced young man said solemnly: "They are catching up."
"So fast! Then, where are Zhang Ming and the others?" Qin Hongyao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, they are coming too, and I have sent the red bird to guide them." Xia Mingfei explained slowly.
"Looks like it's another tough battle!" Zhang Yanshi said slowly while touching his chin.
Lu Huahua laughed at herself: "We have fought all the way here, why should we give up in the middle? The city gates have been blown up, why can't we leave the city?"
Li Xintian nodded at the side and said, "Let's meet with everyone first and then think of a solution."
………………Dividing line…………
Chunfeng Town, Buffalo Pier.
As one of the three most important terminals in Chunfeng Town, this is the port terminal with the largest cargo throughput in the entire Chunfeng Town and even in the entire Luoye County.
Among them, the most important goods are mainly trade goods from all sides. Of course, the fishing industry, which is the main branch of the industry, also occupies a large share.
Dou Xiaowu still looked at the passing crowd with some concern, and shouted consciously or unconsciously: "River beads, river beads! Sell river beads! Beautiful, beautiful river beads! Cute, dignified river beads!"
"
The young man was vague, and he didn't know whether he was calling He Zhuzi or a girl. In short, many people passed by his stall. No matter who asked him, he always said the same thing. Let alone doing business, in the end
There was no one left to talk to him.
"Hey! Why are you in a daze here? No need to load the goods?" At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew, and a pretty figure appeared next to the stall.
Dou Xiaowu sniffed, and his dull eyes quickly returned to focus and became full of energy again.
"Ah! He Zhuzi!" The young man blurted out when he saw that the person who came was none other than the girl he had been dreaming about these past few days.
Zhong Lingxi was startled by the other party's voice, and did not understand what the other party wanted to express. She tilted her head and asked in confusion:
"Uh? Hezhuzi, what happened to Hezhuzi?"
The moment Dou Xiaowu said it, he realized his slip of the tongue, and immediately waved his hand and explained: "No, no, no, um, I mean I'm selling river beads. What do you think, girl, do you still want river beads? I don't want your money.
, give it to you for free!”
Zhong Lingxi smiled and waved her hand, "No, I'm not here to buy river beads this time, thank you!"
Hearing the beautiful girl's rejection, the young man looked a little sad for a moment, but he still forced a smile and said: "Oh, that's a pity... Um, I mean it's okay, you're welcome."
Zhong Lingxi covered her mouth and smiled, and said with a smile: "Then I'm really rude, I really have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Dou Xiaowu's eyes flashed and he replied excitedly: "No problem, I'll take care of it!"
After saying this, he was stunned for a moment. Without knowing what the other party wanted, he rashly agreed to it, which sounded a bit unreliable.
The young man clenched his fists and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. Fortunately, the beautiful girl didn't think so much. The other party agreed to her, which obviously exceeded his expectations.
Thinking of this, she remembered what Qi Chengcheng said before coming here.
"Sometimes, an ambiguous relationship between a man and a woman is a truly giving relationship without any expectation of reward."
At that time, Zhong Lingxi also laughed at the other party, thinking that only a ten-year-old kid knew what. The funny boy's answer was really powerless to refute, "I didn't say this, it was my dad!"
Zhong Lingxi didn't know if the third elder of Yinren Town and the head of the Qi family often did some unethical things when he was young, but judging from his old-fashioned demeanor, the head of the Qi family was indeed not a mortal!
Otherwise, there would be no descendants like Qi Chengcheng.
Zhong Lingxi stopped thinking about these messy thoughts, looked at the excited young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "I want to buy martial arts secret books this time!"
