Volume 2 Ember Chapter 64 The Mole
"So how should we do this time?" The man stopped his cigarette stick and his eyes flickered at the dim oil lamp.
"Send your subordinates to keep an eye on the city gate, and there are ......" Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped, "No...... It's useless, the wolf Gu has now arrived in Liesun City, and they are dormant in one place, ready to attack. ”
"So...... Please be more careful, Director Jiang. ”
"What do you mean?" The man in the lead frowned slightly.
"Beware of the wolf Gu, even Lu Chi." Yi Yu whispered, "He must know how many eyeliners are placed by the governor around him, and he will definitely make a move." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and finally understood, "Don't worry." ”
"It's late." Yi Yu looked out of the tattered paper window with the black smoke of the rising oil lamp.
In the inky black forest, nothing can be seen clearly. It is like the enemy in the dark, and Yi Yu's every move can be clearly observed. Yi Yu was a little afraid of this situation, as if he would be killed by a cold arrow shot from the shadows at any time. He looked away from it, and stopped thinking about it.
"It's a little late." The man in the lead followed Yi Yu's gaze, turned his head to look outside, and coughed dryly.
The man's addiction to smoking is back. He carefully took out the tobacco in the pouch, hurriedly filled it into the pipe, lit the wood by the fire of the oil lamp, and smoked it.
"That's it, Jiang Xi." Yi Yu let out a long breath of turbidity. Mixed with the cold air, the long breath exhaled was like a hazy thin smoke.
Yi Yu put the war knife on his waist, put on his big coat and stood up, "Shopkeeper, settle the bill!" ”
"I ...... I think it's a little strange......" Someone's voice whispered.
But the voice, which was only enough for one person to hear clearly, completely entered Yi Yu's ears.
"What strange are you talking about?" Yi Yu stared at Jiang Xi again.
"What? I didn't speak! Jiang Xi was stunned, and the clenched cigarette stick in his hand also stopped involuntarily.
"Someone was talking just now, and it was definitely not my delusion." Yi Yu whispered.
"You're just too tired," Jiang Xi extinguished the cigarette stick and stood up, "I'll send you back." ”
"No, if you are implicated, things will not be easy anymore, and you may also die because of it."
At this time, among Jiang Xi's two subordinates, there was a young man with a slightly strange face, as if he had something to say.
"Easy ...... Director Yi ...... "The young man timidly called Yi Yu.
"You were talking just now?" Yi Yu looked over the broken table. It was a timid young man, his fingers involuntarily picking at the splinters of wood in the corner of the table, and he was hunched back.
"Yes...... I. The young man nodded.
"You boy! When I go back, I'll punish you severely! Jiang Xi saw this kid's small movements, and thought that he was going to make some kind of moth again, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to hit him.
"Jiang Xi!" Yi Yu stopped Jiang Xi's movements fiercely, and couldn't hold back his anger anymore, "It's time for you to change your temper!" How can such a stinky temper convince the public! Let's hear what he's going to say! ”
"You don't care about me!" Jiang Xi glanced at Yi Yu, finally put down his hand, and sat back on the stool unwillingly, "Say it, let him say it!" I'll see what this kid is capable of! ”
"You know, I have a subordinate of your age." Yi Yu smiled at the young man, and personally poured him a full wine, wanting him to relax, "In the army, we are the relationship between our boss and our subordinates, and we have never said a word of gossip. But in the governor's house, we are friends and best brothers, and we have nothing to talk about. ”
"What I mean is very clear, if you don't dare to say what you want to say just now, you must be afraid of your director. But some things, no matter how indecisive you are, will eventually miss the plan. So you don't have to be wary of anything, just say your doubts. If your words are correct, I will not only reward you, but I will also have the Governor give you a credit. Yi Yu sat down again.
Director Yi ...... I remembered! The young man nodded with trepidation.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Wu Cai, and I am a descendant of the Liexun Wu family. I don't have any status in the clan, so I followed Director Jiang to rely on military merits and glorify my ancestors. ”
"No talent?" Yi Yu nodded silently, muttering the young man's name in his mouth.
"Director Yi, I have a bad habit. If you talk too much, you will involuntarily speak inappropriately, so please allow me to continue. Wu Cai didn't notice the change in Yi Yu's expression, and said to himself.
"Feel free." Yi Yu waved his hand.
"So Director, from the very beginning, did you really not have even the slightest suspicion of the information you had?" Wu Cai looked at Yi Yu with a serious expression, "How much is true and how much is false?" ”
"What do you want to say?" Yi Yu frowned slightly.
"Isn't the so-called intelligence really deliberately used by the wolves to distract your attention?" Wu Cai ignored Yi Yu and continued.
"If you want to enter the city, you must show your identity before you can enter the city, and I used to guard the gates of Liexun, and I know how strict the scrutiny is required to enter the city. But if they want to sneak in, they can hide in the city by other means. Wu Cai suddenly stared at Yi Yu's eyes, "And if Wolf Gu really decides to betray the Martial King, then they will definitely come out of the nest and enter the city gate in a grand manner with their horses carrying their baggage." But why does the news of Wolf Gu's entry into Liesun let us know? It could only be that they did it on purpose, or that someone was secretly guiding them, and deliberately lax the guards of the city gates, which attracted the attention of the ears and eyes. Then everything is already clear. ”
"No, the Governor's eyes and ears are far from what you think, they are simply pervasive." Yi Yu pondered for a while, "It's not difficult to detect a team of suspicious characters entering Lie Xun. ”
"Director, you forgot the most critical part." "That will lead your intelligence to go further and further in the wrong direction entirely." ”
"What's the key part?" Yi Yu clenched his glass tightly, and the wine in it was not stained at all.
"Wolf Gu Division, but a reconnaissance and intelligence team...... Wu Cai muttered, "They can even deceive the Tiger Investigation Division, which is most relied on by King Guangcai Martial King, isn't there a way to deceive the ears and eyes of the governor." ”
Yi Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he was finally moved. The palm of his hand was suddenly full of strength, and he crushed the cup with rough workmanship. The liquor syrup in full bloom sprayed out, splashing Yi Yu all over his body. But he ignored it, and urgently wanted to know what Wu Cai said next.
"And then!"
"Director...... Your clothes. Wu Cai whispered.
"I'll ask you then!" Yi Yu roared again.
"Your kid's skin itches again?! If you say it, say it quickly! Jiang Xi also glared at Wu Cai.
"We have to find the one who leads the way." Wu Cai looked around at the two bosses, then at the colleagues who were as big as him around him, and smiled bitterly.
After a long silence, Yi Yu finally raised his head, snatched Jiang Xi's cup, and drank the wine syrup.
"Do you have any opinion about this guide?"
"Director Yi, you should have a result in your heart." Wu Cai smiled.
"Could it be Wolf Gu's insider?"
"No, maybe it's someone who has been hiding around us for a long time." Wu Cai seemed to be very proud of his opinion, so he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
"This stinky boy! It's also bullish! Hurry up and go on! Jiang Xi slapped Wu Cai's head on the top, which made him react and hurriedly put down his chopsticks.
"The one who leads the way is among us." Wu Cai endured the pain and said.
The four people sitting around the table suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, just looked at each other quietly, and for a moment thought that the person in front of them was a traitor.
"What do you see me doing, I'm your brother, not to mention that Lao Tzu will help me kill my father's enemy?" Jiang Xi glared at Yi Yu and avoided his eyes.
"No, no, no...... Director, you misunderstood. Wu Cai looked at the scene in front of him, and forced a smile to lower his voice, "This person who leads the way is hidden in us, and it is not limited to the four of us. Rather, that person was under the command of Director Yi. ”
"My subordinates?" Yi Yu pondered for a while, "You mean, counting me, a total of six people came to Liexun, and the traitor is among the six of us?" ”
"Of course, first of all, exclude you, Director Yi." Wu Cai smiled shyly.
Yi Yu closed his eyes, and involuntarily remembered the faces of Gu Key and Sikong Xi. Not long ago, they were still practicing the sword technique called the reverse current style in the Lu Mansion, and they happened to be bumped into by themselves, like two children who broke the adult's collection and were frightened, begging themselves not to tell the governor.
"Have you been suspicious lately?" Jiang Xi tentatively asked Yi Yu.
Yi Yu didn't move, he remembered another person. A squirrelful young man who is moody, Cheng Bi. He knew Cheng Bi's heart, and Gu Jian often reminded himself that Cheng Bi was a person who would repay him. If it is said that the person who should be suspected, then the first thing will be Cheng Bi.
"I might know who it is......" Yi Yu looked up.
"Who?" The three of them asked in unison.
"We'll find out eventually." Yi Yu smiled helplessly and stood up again, "It's time for us to go." ”
"Don't die." Jiang Xi pressed Yi Yu's shoulder, and his flushed face contained sadness.
"Even if your smoking gun dies, I won't die easily." Yi Yu's eyebrows relaxed, "Don't worry." ”
"I hope." Jiang Xi had five more gold baht in his hand, and his eyebrows looked at the old man sitting in the chair smoking in the background, "Shopkeeper, settle the bill!" ”
"Guest, you go slowly. Eh...... This is! Checkmate! I can't help it, I can't help it! The old man saw the five gold baht handed over by Jiang Xi, and he shuddered fiercely, not daring to take it.
"Take it, old man, take this money and live the last few years, don't open a liquor store again." Jiang Xi put the golden baht on the table, took one last look at the old man, and followed in Yi Yu's footsteps.
When everyone was far away, the old man reacted, grabbed the gold baht, hid it in the deepest part of his pocket, picked an oil lamp, and left the wine shop without even closing the small wooden door. He knew the intention of these five gold baht, and if he resolutely refused to accept it, he would really get into trouble.
Although the old man is lame, he is not stupid.
