Chapter 70: A New Mission
March is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies.
The streets and alleys of Xiangcheng are full of spring, and the pedestrians have also faded their heavy cotton clothes.
In a wing room on the second floor of the Qingxian Tea House, the window opened, and a sixteen or seventeen girl stood in front of the window, looking at the pedestrians downstairs, her eyes calm and indifferent.
The girl was dressed in white, and under the spring breeze, her wide and light sleeves fluttered in the wind, fluttering like a fairy.
When the restaurant next door to the Qingxian Tea House saw this girl, they were all fascinated by her appearance and bearing, and they all stood in front of the window to take a look.
Their words were noisy, but they could not impress the girl's tranquility at the moment, as if she was alone in heaven and on earth.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and is waiting in the next room. A female voice sounded behind the girl, and her voice was clear and beautiful.
"Hmm. The girl turned to look at the woman behind her and said, "Red Bean, you go with me." ”
"Yes, miss. Hongdou couldn't help but glance at Gu Qinghe more.
Her own young lady is getting more and more beautiful every year, and even she, who sees her every day, can't help but sigh and praise.
Gu Qinghe went out and knocked on the door next door, and a calm and powerful, but not warm and restrained voice came from the door: "Please come in." ”
Gu Qinghe pushed the door in, and it was Jin Zhaodang Prince Liu Chen who was sitting in the room, and standing next to him was the personal guard Yufeng.
Liu Chen seemed to be a little tired, his handsome face was a little pale, and his eye circles were a little dark.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Gu Qinghe smiled lightly and greeted politely.
Liu Chen glanced at Gu Qinghe lightly: "Of course it's good." ”
The former crown prince Liu Ling was deposed five years ago, and the third highness Liu Chen successfully became the current crown prince two years ago, and now his power in the court can be described as solid.
However, in the past few years, Gu Qinghe has done a lot for him.
Of course, Liu Chen is a customer, and he just spends money to entrust Gu Qinghe to do things.
"This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person, I'm afraid the task to be entrusted is not simple. ”
Liu Chen poured Gu Qinghe a cup of tea and said, "You are still the same as before, straightforward." ”
Gu Qinghe took a sip unceremoniously: "Our Red Shadow has always done things like this, not only do we speak directly, but we also do things, otherwise how can we gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes." ”
It's been five years, and Red Shadow has become the first corps of Jin Zhao, and the momentum has overwhelmed the ten-year-old killer organization Bu Kill Palace, and now the Bu Kill Palace has retreated to Dongzhu.
Liu Chen looked at Gu Qinghe quite meaningfully, in terms of appearance, the crown princess Gu Xianghe was naturally superior, but in terms of temperament, Gu Qinghe didn't know how many streets to get rid of Gu Xianghe.
After so many years, he is still haunted. At the beginning, Liu Chen's plan was to marry Gu Qinghe as his wife, and Gu Xianghe would take a concubine, but five years ago, the prince was so angry that Liu Chen wanted to kill him quickly.
It's just that after the incident, Liu Chen calmed down and thought about it, since Gu Qinghe only recognized money, why didn't he take advantage of it, so after several commissions, they became the current relationship between customers and employers.
It's really confusing.
Liu Chen motioned to Yufeng to get a dossier on the ground and said, "I want you to find someone." ”
Gu Qinghe took the file and opened it to see that there was a man in his forties painted on the file, with a thin face and a pair of fox eyes. Next to the portrait is written a name, Xiang Ping.
"Xiang Ping?" Gu Qinghe was a little puzzled, "Didn't he die three days ago?"
Three days ago, the family of Xiangping, the imperial historian, was destroyed and burned to ashes, and the case has not been solved so far, and some people speculate that it was committed by the enemy country, but there is no evidence to prove it.
Liu Chen said: "That's just a rumor that we deliberately spread, but in fact, Xiang Ping is not dead." And after our investigation, the whole family of the imperial envoy was killed by him, and he escaped to Yisang. ”
"Yisang?"
"Hmm. Liu Chen didn't notice the change in Gu Qinghe's expression, and continued, "We suspect that Xiang Ping is an undercover agent of the enemy country who has been ambushing Jin Zhao all along. ”
"Do you suspect it's Yisang?" Gu Qinghe asked.
Liu Chen shook his head: "It won't be Yisang." Yisang is a neighbor of Jinzhao, and although it is good at fighting, it is just a grasshopper, and it has been very peaceful for decades. We suspect that it is Beiliang and Dongzhu. ”
Gu Qinghe was silent and thought slightly.
On this continent, the only ones that can be called a big country are Jinzhao Beiliang and Dongzhu, which can be described as a three-legged stand.
And the only ones who can shake Jin Zhao's strength are Beiliang and Dongzhu.
Gu Qinghe also agreed with this opinion very much, after all, Yisang couldn't do such a thing, because the current emperor of Yisang was Bai Yan.
Liu Chen looked at Gu Qinghe seriously and sternly: "Xiang Ping has a secret report in his hand, I want you to arrest Xiang Ping before the secret report reaches the enemy country, and you can open it casually." ”
Gu Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "I just like this sentence." ”
Gu Qinghe put the file away: "This single task Red Shadow has taken it." ”
Liu Chen nodded, as if relieved: "I hope that the secret report in Xiang Ping's hand will not be seen by anyone, including you." ”
"Don't worry, I'm only interested in money. Gu Qinghe suddenly thought of something, "Why did Xiang Ping flee to Yisang instead of the other two countries? If Xiang Ping is not from Yisang, isn't he going the other way?"
"We have also thought about this problem, and the biggest possibility is that Xiang Ping to Yisang handed over the secret report to the connector, so as to confuse our sight. Liu Chen seemed a little tired, "I hope you can leave as much as possible." ”
"Don't worry, since we have taken on this task, we will naturally do a good job, but we will not smash our own signboard. Gu Qinghe got up and left, and added at the end, "Don't be too tired." ”
Liu Chen listened and smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”
In the two years since Liu Chen became the prince, he has indeed done a lot for the people of the world. How to say it, Liu Chen is more suitable to be a prince and an emperor than Liu Ling.
Su Changqing is not in the Qingxian Teahouse, and Gu Qinghe has no point in staying for a long time, just occasionally come to sit and talk about business or something.
So after the two met Liu Chen, they left the Qingxian Teahouse directly and went to the red building.
The red building was built on Fengliu Street, and it was a small green building on the surface, which was actually the base of the red shadow.
In the basement of the small red building, a large underground studio was built, which adopts modern architectural art and is unique.
When he arrived at the Red Building, Gu Qinghe summoned the upper echelons of the Red Shadow for a small meeting, and finally decided to go to Yisang to do the personnel of this mission.
And the leader is Gu Qinghe.
There were four people who went to Yisang this time, and there were fifteen others in the shadows to support them at any time.
These four people, in addition to Gu Qinghe and Hongdou, there are also Zhou Xiaolong and Bai Yue.
