Chapter 345: Preparation
It's raining!
Although the temperature in the air has not dropped much, it is much cooler. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The originally gloomy sky has been much cooler because of the rainstorm that has fallen again.
Tokyo City,
Because of the rainstorm, there were no people in the streets anymore, but a lot of rainwater gathered into a river, and in an instant the whole place was filled with water.
The torrential rain made the people stranded everywhere watch the torrential rain without the slightest hint of excitement. The water level in Tokyo City has always been extremely low, and if the heavy rain continues, many places may be flooded.
In a three-story pavilion, a small window was open, facing the palace not far away.
This is a restaurant with a very high attic, called Xingwang Building. The first and second floors are all dining places, and the third floor is not open to the public although there is an attic, because it is usually used for stacking sundries and accommodation.
The normal houses of this era cannot be higher than the palace. But this restaurant seems to be the highest place, and it is almost the height of the castle tower.
This restaurant is famous in the city of Tokyo, and it is said that it can serve the best sake and the best ingredients, so food is naturally the best choice, and it is one of the most famous places to go in Tokyo.
In addition, the third floor is not open to the public, and there is naturally no activity on weekdays, which makes it relatively quiet. The overall height of the restaurant also falls short of the regulations, so it is one of the few exceptions in the city of Tokyo.
At this time, in the restaurant called Xingwanglou, which is a street front hut on the third floor, the windows are completely open inward. A few people stood by the window here, and no one was in the pouring rain, looking at the majestic palace opposite.
"How's it going over there?"
Ji Hongchang's expression was relatively calm, because of the needs of the war and the sudden change in the situation in the Central Plains, he had rushed from Liaocheng Mansion to Tokyo City.
As the first leader sent by Lingnan to the Central Plains for development, he established the White Wolf Village in the Central Plains. Like Guo Jing in Chudi, he can be regarded as having a relatively smooth development!
The reputation of the White Wolf King can be said to be well-known far and wide, although it is regarded as a divine dragon, but the establishment of the Liaocheng Mansion base is the best proof of his ability.
Although he was not publicly wanted by the imperial court, he was careful to keep his way of doing things. At least get reliable information, that is, the people below are afraid that Emperor Guo Rong will be angry after knowing that the local governance is incompetent. Even if some paper can't hold the fire, it's these people who have no choice! After all, a team like Ji Hongchang comes and goes freely and moves like the wind, and if Ji Hongchang makes another storm that day, it will only be deliberately concealed for the time being.
As Ji Hongchang, who is dedicated to development, he is naturally happy to be like this. After all, the growth of any force takes time to brew. He had just gained a foothold near Liaocheng Mansion, and it was originally a mobile unit, but suddenly had a fixed base area, which was originally a very dangerous thing. But the Central Plains Imperial Court has given itself the opportunity to develop, which is undoubtedly a great thing!
This time when I came to Tokyo City, in order to make myself successfully change my identity, Ji Hongchang did not groom at all, and the advantage of growing his beard is that he doesn't have to worry about some people suddenly recognizing him.
With three long beards and a brocade robe, he is completely like the state of a rich man. However, he has some dark complexion, which can still make people feel that he should not be an idle person.
Especially the inadvertent calmness between the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, so that the body exudes a proud domineering. Of course, it can also be understood as taciturn, or uninhibited!
"Back to the general! At present, the rumors in the market have been sent by his subordinates to find out, and they are indeed from Wang Zhengzhong. This person is the biggest breakthrough at present, although he does not contact others, but his identity can be locked on three people! A voice immediately responded behind him, and Ji Hongchang didn't look back, because this attic was full of high-ranking personnel of the secret party in Tokyo City, and they were all trusted intelligence officers.
"The emperor sent people to surround Xiangguo Temple this morning, it seems that he is going to move seriously, but he didn't expect Zhang Yongde to send someone to relieve the siege!" This is a young man, the one who has just replied to Ji Hongchang, looking at his somewhat old demeanor, and wearing a green robe, it is actually Dong Jie from Liaocheng Mansion.
He was a secretary in Liaocheng Mansion at the beginning, and he was a young and promising talent. However, because some things were fought for by the secret party, he developed into a rare official party member in Liaocheng Prefecture.
Later, because of the development of the secret party and the need for layers of relationship between intelligence collection, and Ji Hongchang's deliberate operation for him, he was actually transferred to Tokyo. As a blue wolf with a large number of white wolf villages, Dong Jie's importance is self-evident!
"Sure enough!" Hearing Dong Jie say this, a knowing smile appeared on Ji Hongchang's face: "This Wang Zhengzhong is the biggest breakthrough, so without startling the snake, we have to control what he is saying first!" āć
In the past year, he has led a group of secret party members, and he has gained a firm foothold in the development of the hinterland of the Central Plains. So when deciding things, Ji Hongchang has more self-confidence!
While taking care of the party members headed by the snow wolf, the orderly development of the white wolf village, and constantly consolidating and improving the role played by the party members, he even set up a base in Liaocheng Mansion. The establishment of this base area, not to mention that the emperor of Lingnan gave the highest praise, even Ji Hongchang himself gradually felt something!
Now the state capitals near Liaocheng Mansion are all occupied by the White Wolf Village, because the White Wolf Village adheres to the principle of not disturbing the people, and has actually won the support of the people. Coupled with the sparsely populated area, everything is safe!
Although the imperial court has not sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress at present, Ji Hongchang also knows that if the development of Liaocheng Mansion does not take a turn for the better, there will inevitably be a huge crisis.
Because of the surrounding knots, the reason why he didn't send someone to exterminate himself was not simply because he was a powerful wolf soldier, but also because no one wanted to take the lead in consuming his strength!
Of course, Ji Hongchang received a secret report from Xingwangfu, which was a secret order issued by the emperor himself. The development in the Central Plains over the past year or so is for the actions of Tokyo City this month.
As a qualified shadow and an excellent intelligence officer, Ji Hongchang has always adhered to his own standards.
Because of the instructions conveyed above, no matter what the success or failure of the time comes, he must use all his strength desperately and act according to the command of the Xingwang Mansion, so Ji Hongchang hurried over and personally sat in Tokyo City.
"Zhang Yongde, this good gentleman, who did he send to stop Guo Rong's actions? Doesn't he know his situation? Ji Hongchang suddenly felt a little funny, because the intelligence showed that Guo Rong had been investigating Zhang Yongde.
And Zhang Yongde obviously should know this, but he doesn't seem to care too much about all this, is he really not afraid of death, or Guo Rong won't move him?
But now that he heard that he was acting like this, Ji Hongchang suddenly seemed to think of something!
Is Zhang Yongde stupid?
No!
He's definitely a smart guy!
Why did he do it?
Because his wisdom is foolish!
He understands that Guo Rong is wary of himself, a person who regards himself as an enemy should know himself better than himself!
Because he figured this out, Zhang Yongde also recognized that he did not have the hope of sitting on the big treasure, so he acted according to his character at this moment! This is the real Zhang Yongde, this is the Zhang Yongde that Guo Rong knew at the beginning!
So Zhang Yongde came, he was fearless and fearless, because at this moment he was already free of distractions.
Knowing that the emperor was going to suppress the monks of Xiangguo Temple, he still took the initiative to go to make peace, didn't he take the initiative to make too much trouble for himself?
It's not about making trouble for yourself, but about using your own ability to solve problems for others!
"The funny thing is that this person is actually Liu Guangyi!" Dong Jie obviously knew about Liu Guangyi, because the task of the secret party in Tokyo City was to collect information about various officials and generals in the imperial court. As Dong Jie, who once served as the main leader of Tokyo City, he naturally knows Liu Guangyi's true identity! But he obviously didn't know Zhang Yongde, and when he saw Ji Hongchang laughing, he couldn't help but echo it!
"Liu Guangyi!" Ji Hong's eyes flashed, he was a talent cultivated by the ghost hand master.
Back then, it could only be said that he was a spy, or a chess piece living in the shadows. But after being promoted by Liu Jixing and entrusted with important tasks. He has undoubtedly completely transformed, and now he is a spy leader with extremely high thinking.
Just hearing that this person was Liu Guangyi, he instantly thought of something. glanced at the excited Dong Jie, and it seemed that the sound of the rain outside had become pleasant!
"What a deep scheming, what a long-term arrangement! This person is really the boss's rival! Ji Hongchang actually muttered to himself, he had always had some thoughts about Liu Jixing letting him come to Tokyo City.
Because Liaocheng Mansion is now occupied by itself, as long as it is managed well, it is very likely that it will be able to gain a foothold. Didn't the warlords everywhere succeed in this way? At that time, even without the support of Xingwangfu, Ji Hongchang felt that he would be able to have some capital.
But Liu Jixing revealed half a sentence to him, saying that Guo Rong was about to return to the court, and then there would be chaos in Tokyo City.
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Liu Jixing asked him to come over to muddy the water, Ji Hongchang still thought that Liu Jixing was too willful at first, but under the emperor's order, he only came to Tokyo City in a hurry when Guo Rong returned to the court.
What I didn't expect was that I had just arrived in Tokyo City at the end of the month, and Guo Rong really came back to Tokyo City a day or two at the beginning of the month, which made Ji Hongchang, who has always been full of confidence, question himself for the first time.
With the continuous update of information and intelligence every day, Ji Hongchang has a little respect for Liu Jixing in his heart. glanced at the people behind him: "Pay close attention to Wang Zhengzhong's actions, and report the changes in Xiangguo Temple at any time!" And regardless of all sacrifices, immediately get some news in the palace, and you must not be blind and touch the elephant, and finally miss the opportunity! ā
Everyone behind him promised to clench their fists!
