It's been three days since the ring competition.

I have to admire the physique of the person who practices martial arts, and the injuries on Mu Jun's body are no longer serious. He left with the people of Beimeng, losing such a big face, he planned to leave quietly, and he didn't even say hello to the people from the East China Sea before leaving.

Before Mu Jun left Linzi, Xu Xiang suddenly ran to Lingxiao Gate to see him off.

He came from Lingxiao Gate, and naturally left from Lingxiao Gate.

Originally, Mu Jun didn't plan to deal with Xu Xiang at all, but Xu Xiang was entangled with a dead face, and in desperation, Mu Jun had no choice but to meet Xu Xiang.

Then the two didn't know what they were talking about, but they knew that Mu Jun's face was very ugly, but Xu Xiang left triumphantly.

At this time, Jiang Fu was already very busy not only having to discuss the manufacture of bullets with the people of the Ordnance Department, but also tracking down the theft of drawings. Although he already knew about Mu Jun's departure from Linzi, he didn't have the time and ideas to send it.

After leaving Xu Xiang's house yesterday, he immediately went to investigate the master Lu of the palace guard and blacksmith shop.

However, he was not satisfied with the results.

Among the fifty guards of the Zhengyang Hall that day, one person suddenly disappeared. The blacksmith shop was also closed, and it was later learned that the blacksmith Master Lu had left on the night the drawings were stolen.

He came to the palace and told Jiang Zhen all these things one by one.

Jiang Zhen angrily threw several expensive vases in a row, Jiang Fu had never seen him make such a big fire, so he could only kneel down nervously.

Xu vented for a while, but he had no strength. Jiang Zhen sat on the chair, "You get up." ”

"Father, what should I do next?" Jiang Fu got up and asked.

"The proportion of gunpowder in the bullet that Xu Changsha talked about, has the test been successful?"

"Erchen personally went to try it and it was successful. It's just that the power doesn't seem to be as great as Xu Changsha at that time. Xu Changsha shot the killer that day, and did not struggle for a moment. The musket developed by the Ordnance Division shot at the goat, which struggled a few times before dying. That killer is the acquired sixfold, a martial arts master can still kill with one blow, and ordinary sheep can still struggle, which shows the big gap. ”

"Huh? Did you find the reason? Is Xu Changsha, this kid still hiding his secrets? Jiang Zhen frowned and asked.

Jiang Fu shook his head and replied: "Not really, Erchen used Xu Changsha's musket to try the bullet we made, and this time, not only sheep, but even cattle were killed with one blow." So the problem, presumably, lies in the musket itself. ”

"Didn't you say that the musket we made was better than Xu Changsha's?"

"Father, it is true that the appearance is much more sophisticated, but the actual effect is far from the same. However, Erchen has already asked the people of the Ordnance Department to study more, and there will be good news soon. ”

Jiang Zhen's brows were relaxed, and there was finally good news.

"Although the whereabouts of the sketch are unknown, no matter who gets it, there is no way around the issue of bullets. None of the people in the valley who knew the ratio of gunpowder were allowed to leave! In this way, only Xu Changsha knows the proportion of this gunpowder! As long as he doesn't say it, we in the East China Sea will be invincible in the world with muskets! ”

"Father, do you want to ......"

"As long as he doesn't give the lonely moth, he will be spared."

At this moment, an attendant walked in and whispered a few words into Jiang Zhen's ear.

After Jiang Zhen heard this, he showed a solemn look on his face, and immediately said to Jiang Cheng: "Fu'er, Gu just received a secret report that someone in the Xicheng Bangyue Tower will trade musket drawings in Shenshi!" ”

"Huh?" I found out that the clue between the guard and Master Lu had been broken, but I didn't expect such news to come suddenly, Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and analyzed: "Father, this map thief is definitely not a secret spy of another country, but the person who traded with him must be!" ”

"Well, you quickly lead people to ambush nearby, and once the people of the transaction appear, be sure to catch them all!" Jiang Zhen nodded approvingly, if he can catch someone, not only can he find out the thief, but he can also catch the secret spies of other countries, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"The minister will retire first and arrange this arrest!"

"Hmmm! Be quiet, don't startle the snake. Jiang Zhen instructed.

Linzi City is the capital of the East China Sea, standing in all directions, divided into four cities: southeast, northwest and northwest. The palace sits in the east and faces west, in addition to the palace, most of the residences and shops here belong to the royal family and nobles, and the elite of the East China Sea is also here, which can be said to be the political and military center of Linzi.

The most populous are the southern and northern cities, which are also the most prosperous and are the economic centers of Linzi.

It is also the place where nobles and commoners have the most contact with each other, such as wind and snow, and there are often grand events in the rivers and lakes.

Only Xicheng is different, there are almost no nobles living here, they are all some ruffians and hooligans.

As the only high-grade inn in Xicheng, Bangyue Building is located on Xuanwu Street, the main road of Xicheng, with a total of three floors.

Xicheng is backed by Mount Tai, standing on the tower of Bangyue can enjoy the afterglow of the sunset, and it is also an excellent viewing place.

For Bangyue Tower, there are not many customers here, and the main people who live are some Jianghu rangers, bounty hunters, and literati and ink writers, in order to go to Mount Tai.

Few residents living in Xicheng go to Bangyue Tower to drink and eat, so business here is not very good.

The name of Bangyue Tower is still very big in the whole continent, the main family name is Chen, its history can be traced back to before the unification of Great Xia, and even the Xuanyuan clan established Great Xia to obtain the support of the Chen family.

At the beginning, the children of the Chen family came to Zizi because they could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai, so they set up the shop here, but the operation was not good.

Although the Chen family has a big business, such a luxurious inn, without guests, can only lose money year after year.

Chen Xiaoan, the shopkeeper of Bangyue Building in Linzi City, has been here for four or five years, and every year he goes back to report that the finance is a deficit, and he already has the idea of taking out the Bangyue Building in Xicheng, and then buying a piece of land in the south or north city to rebuild a Bangyue Building.

I was dozing off with a pillow, and two days ago, a mysterious person bought Bangyue Building for a lot of money.

Although I don't understand that the mysterious man even gave the money, he let himself stay until today and finish the day's business.

Since there are not many guests, Chen Xiaoan is basically fine, since the people have spent enough money to build two Bangyue Towers by themselves, it is appropriate to help such a small favor.

Chen Xiaoan yawned and sat in the lobby, and now it was just past noon, sleepiness came over him, he slowly squinted his eyes, and lay his face on the table.

In the same three-story restaurant not far away, a man in a blue brocade robe was looking at everything in the Bangyue Building.

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged." A man came up from downstairs and said to him.

The brocade-clothed man nodded and asked, "How long will it take for the sinking fish to arrive?" ”

"Just now Jing'er came with news, saying that it has already set off, and it will arrive in about two minutes, and now it is a few moments, and it is almost a moment."

"Hmmm! We don't have a moment to go. By the way, is Jiang Fu here? ”

"No trace of him has been found for the time being, but I heard the news from the Spark Hidden Guard in Dongcheng that after Jiang Cheng came out of the palace, he transferred two hundred soldiers from the imperial martial arts camp. They must have come over, but they hid it relatively well, and their subordinates failed to find out. ”

"Excellent! I've already released the bait, you have to bite the hook......" The man in brocade looked at the door of Bangyue Tower and said to himself.

At this time, in a room in the attic on the second floor directly below the man in brocade, an obese man in a purple costume also looked at the situation of Bangyue Tower through the window.

"Que'er, it's still early! Don't keep staring over there, what if Xu Changsha finds out about us, what if he becomes suspicious and aborts the transaction? You just bring the window and leave a crack in it. The middle-aged man sitting quietly on the side reminded.

"Yes, Daddy!" The fat man closed the window, leaving a slit, walked back, and sat casually across from the middle-aged man.

"Dad, have you told the king of the East China Sea that Xu Changsha is going to sell the weapon drawings to the Western Wei secret spy?"

The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at a burly man behind him, and asked, "Lu Ping, has the news passed?" ”

The big man replied: "According to your orders, Master Hou, the news that someone in Shenshi will trade weapon drawings in Bangyue Tower has been passed to the East China Sea royal family, presumably this East China Sea King has already sent someone over, right?" ”

When the fat man heard this, he asked anxiously, "Dad! You're just saying that someone is trading weapon drawings in Bangyue Tower? Didn't say it was Xu Changsha? What if the people of the East Sea King catch the wrong person? ”

"Que'er, you can't show the purpose too obviously, Jiang Zhen, as the king of the East China Sea, is very suspicious! If we directly say that Xu Changsha is trading here, he can directly arrest Xu Changsha, but that will be painless for Xu Changsha, and it will be a big deal that he can't sell it. But if Xu Changsha's name is not said, then the people in the East China Sea will be directly arrested on the spot, how do you say Xu Changsha should quibble? Will the King of the East Sea let him go? ”

The fat man showed an expression of sudden realization: "So that's it!" If Xu Changsha was caught red-handed, with the drawings in hand, and the secret spies of the Western Wei Dynasty were arrested together, he would not be able to deny it! ”

The middle-aged man nodded, looked at another man in a fancy costume, and said, "Wang Xiaoyi, this time, you must act according to Benhou's strategy, and you must not make decisions without permission!" If you succeed in getting Xu Changsha and the Western Wei spy captured, you will be a great contributor! ”

"Master Hou, rest assured, the villain is fully prepared!"

Time passed little by little, and a luxurious carriage appeared on the street of Xuanwu and stopped in front of Bangyue Tower.

The curtain was opened, and out of it came a woman in a pale red dress, with delicate long black hair, draped over her shoulders, slightly feminine, sometimes loosely counting the long hair, showing a different style.

The maid helped her out of the carriage and stood in front of Bangyue Tower.

The luxurious carriage and the stunning woman attracted the attention of the people on the street.

"When did we come to Xicheng with such a big man? Nobles don't usually come to our West City, do they? ”

"It's ...... O royal people! It's still a princess! ”

"What's wrong? This is our Royal Highness the Fifth Princess of the East China Sea! ”

"Huh? Is this our first beauty in Linzi, Her Royal Highness Princess Lanxin? ”

"Why did Her Royal Highness come to our West City? Aren't you going to Tarzan? ”
