Xu Xiang had to see Lin Chong again, since the last time he broke up with him, the situation in the palace has maintained a relative balance, Xuanyuan Qian didn't make any trouble, he should eat, drink, and go to court, and Lin Chong didn't mention anything about the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

Whether this fire in Ningdu will burn or not, the key lies in Mingjing.

It's just that Mingjing doesn't know his whereabouts, and he doesn't have any clue.

Ming Jing wants to evacuate this 10,000-strong wind army, and there are only two choices, either communicate with Ming Jing and evacuate safely; Either it is to start a war with the families and nobles, and besiege and annihilate the armies of all the families and nobles in the Qinglong City except the palace.

But obviously, both sides are staring at each other very closely, and it is basically impossible to mobilize troops to annihilate the combined army in Qinglong City under their noses.

"As a secret agent, you must pay attention to hiding yourself at all times, and what role you play, you can't do things that have nothing to do with your character's identity. Otherwise, you may be exposed at any time......"

In a hidden mansion in the Baihu City area of Ningdu, a man with a thin face stood in a house, surrounded by a dozen children.

Entering the palace to find Lin Chong, he could only do it at night, and now there were still three or four hours before dark, Xu Xiang planned to do some other things.

......

"Mr. Ouyang, I have a question." One of the boys spoke.

"Just ask." The emaciated man said with a smile on his face.

The children, young in their teens and thirteens, both male and female, listened attentively to what the emaciated man had to say.

"So, from the beginning of the lurking, everything that has happened to you before you have nothing to do with you. All you have to do is do what you have to do as you are. ”

"Oh." The man nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the door opened, and a man in a blue brocade suit and a middle-aged escort walked in.

"What if I'm a guy in a restaurant, but my goal is to only come to the restaurant once a month? In this way, the information I get is very scarce, and I can't complete the mission at all. ”

"We don't know the target's itinerary, you, as a guy in the restaurant, you have to get the information you want when he comes. If he doesn't come, then you don't care, someone else will follow up, all you have to do is protect your identity and get information. ”

The children left in response, and the emaciated man knelt down on one knee, "Subordinate Ouyang Xuanming pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

The two people who came in were Xu Xiang and Yang Dianfeng, these children were all taken in by him in the Xu Mansion at that time, and the man who gave the lecture was one of the spark guards who followed Ma Shouxin over.

"Young Master!" When the children saw anyone who came in, they all greeted them politely.

The emaciated man spoke to the children, "Okay, we'll stop here for the time being. In the next lesson, we'll talk about how to gain the trust of your goals. ”

After Ma Shouxin surrendered, this Spark hidden guard could only surrender. In fact, it can't be said that it is a surrender, Xu Xiang is the second prince of Chu after all, and they didn't know anything about Xu Xiang's plan before, only Liu Qishan and Ma Shouxin knew the inside story.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with them doing things for Xu Xiang.

Although Ouyang Xuanming is just an ordinary Spark Hidden Guard, his skills have always been among the best in the Spark Camp, but he has always refused to be promoted on the grounds that he has no combat exploits.

Xu Cheng was still taught by him, so Xu Cheng trusted this Spark Hidden Guard so much at that time.

"Yes! I don't know what the young master ordered when he came over this time? Ouyang Xuanming asked.

"I came here this time for two things, the first thing is that you prepare, prepare to take the children to the Yellow River Beach Town; The second thing, after settling the children, I plan to send you on a trip to Northern Mongolia. ”

And Xu Xiang didn't mean to send this team of Spark Hidden Guards back to Chu State, after all, it was a bit unreasonable not to accept the gifts sent to his hand.

"Get up, you can call me young master after I say it." Xu Xiang said to him.

Ouyang Xuanming had doubts about his loyalty, but now that Xu Yi was in Tongxin City, Yang Dianfeng was not suitable, so he could only choose them.

Leaving this house, it was already evening, Xu Xiang walked on the street, and when he passed by a street, he saw some half-built houses, and his mood was a little heavy.

"To Beimeng?"

"It's fitting that you'll be left to do something." Xu Xiang said that he does not have much power available at the moment, and if he wants to change this chaos, he has to show some of his hole cards.

Remembering that Ning did not have the prosperity of the war, the commercial street of Baihu Street was the first to be established, and he planned to start with the gnawing chickens and do a big job. However, the successive military rebellions forced this major project to stop.

There are some things that you can't stop once you start.

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver have been lost...... Alas! He said with some distress.

"Why is this the young master, this title deed is still with us. When Ningdu is restored, this commercial street can still be built. Yang Dianfeng said.

There could be a war in Ningdu at any time, and if it weren't for the locals of Ningdu, basically those who could have fled would have fled long ago.

But these beggars are exceptional.

If it weren't for Ming's cholera, this place would have been almost built, right?

The two of them walked on the streets of Baihu City, there were very few pedestrians and vendors on the road, and there were still many poorly dressed people begging the few passers-by to give them some food.

Obviously, Xu Xiang is such a kind-hearted person.

This street is called Qingshui Street, and there is only one steamed bun shop, a noodle shop, and a tailor shop and a grain shop on the street, and the other jade, calligraphy and painting, pawnshops and other shops are closed.

They had nowhere to go, and even if they left Ningdu, it was a deserted wilderness, and their hungry bodies were not enough to support them to rush to the next city.

Therefore, it is better for them to survive in Ningdu, and if they meet a kind person, they can still get some food to satisfy their stomachs.

The four major urban districts have four government orders, and under this government order, there is only a group of three-class officials, who are responsible for investigating cases, patrolling the streets, and arresting thieves and other trivial matters. And it only has the right to investigate, not the right to dispose of. Once the case and file have been processed, the prisoner must be handed over to the Prison Division.

The government decrees of the four major cities were directly appointed by the emperor.

On the streets, the soldiers of the government lazily carried long knives and patrolled the streets.

Ningdu is the national capital, and the power is divided into many parts, such as the garrison army is only responsible for defense, but the garrison army in Ningdu is divided into two parts: the city patrol division and the palace forbidden army, so the defense of Ningdu, including the arrest of murderers and the verification of the identity of people entering and exiting, is in charge of the city patrol department.

Therefore, there is no official in the Great Xia court who is willing to do it, and it is generally those who have just entered the officialdom and have a passion and revenge that are willing to be this "backstabber".

Among the government orders of the four major urban districts, only Xun Yanzhi of Vermilion Bird City is an exception, Xun Yanzhi is a person who is upright, if he dies in Qinglong City, he doesn't know how many times he has died, but fortunately, it is in Vermilion Bird City, where ordinary nobles are reluctant to come, so just deal with their own affairs and be fine.

It stands to reason that in any dynasty, the officials appointed by the emperor generally have great power, but in Ningdu it is completely reversed, and the government decrees of these four major cities are equivalent to a man who carries the blame.

Anyway, if something big happens, you can investigate it for me. The investigation is clear, well, the prisoner is handed over to the warden, and when the credit is reported, it is the credit of the warden department. If there is no investigation clearly, or the head of the person who should not be checked is found, then I'm sorry, the black yarn hat is the luckiest, and some don't even do it for a long time.

is the so-called upward and downward effect, the government order is still like this, and the poor officials of the government are not much better.

When Xu Xiang passed by Qingshui Street, he happened to see a young man named Huazi who was really hungry, and then took advantage of the fact that the owner of the bun shop was too busy to steal two steamed buns.

But the other three major urban areas are not good, there are often noble children haunting, it is inevitable that there will be many people who like to cause trouble, and if something happens, they have to be blamed by the government order.

Therefore, except for Xun Yanzhi, the government orders of the other three urban districts do not have the consciousness of being government orders at all, and they are all procrastinating and lazy.

Moreover, he also suggested to the boss, "Since he has eaten all the steamed buns, you can only beat him up." ”

So, the boss punched and kicked Hanako, not caring that he was just a child. And when the two errand officers saw it, they smiled like they were watching a play.

As a result, it was discovered by the boss.

After being caught, he planned to hand them over to the messenger to deal with. However, when the two errand officials in the White Tiger City saw that this little flower child was full of smell, they showed a look of disgust and were unwilling to take over.

Xu Xiang shook his head, "No! Don't meddle. ”

"Huh?" Yang Dianfeng was puzzled, the young master would always intervene in this kind of thing, and then give this little Huazi some silver, or bring it back to raise. They encountered many such situations along the way, and the town of Huanghetan also took in many wandering and miserable people.

Yang Dianfeng frowned when he saw Xu Xiang, and said, "Your Highness, do you want to go down......

Because he knew that Xu Xiang had always been unaccustomed to this kind of bullying of the weak, and he would usually help out.

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, "No, this child is not a beggar, he is disguised." ”

"Disguised?" Yang Dianfeng was stunned.

"Old Yang, have you noticed?" Xu Xiang opened his mouth and said, "This kid was punched and kicked by the owner of the bun shop, but he blocked his vital parts with his elbow, and there was no panic or panic on his face. Moreover, there was no crying. ”

What's wrong with that? Maybe this child has been through a lot, so he is used to it, and he doesn't care about this beating at all? ”

"Your steamed bun money." With a flick of his finger, the copper coin flew quickly towards the owner of the bun shop.

"Poof!" Before the boss could react, the copper coin was embedded in his forehead, and he fell in disbelief with wide eyes, not even having time to say a last word.

"Let's go." Xu Xiang turned around and left, while Yang Dianfeng followed in confusion, and after they left, the beaten child looked in the direction they left, and a look of loss flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and gently pulled off his worn-out cuffs, revealing a copper coin at the cuff.

As soon as Xu Xiang left that place, he heard the voice of the errand official and was startled.

hurriedly walked back with Yang Dianfeng, but was blocked by a figure in front of him.

The two officers were dumbfounded, shouted loudly, and fled separately: "Ah! Killed! Killed! ”

The little beggar sneered, and then rose and fell, disappearing in place.

Xu Xiang and Yang Dianfeng were on alert, this kid was coming at him.

"Who are you?" Xu Xiang's hand was put on his waist and he touched the pistol he was carrying.

It was the little kid who had been beaten just now.

It is said that Xu Changsha is a kind-hearted person, and when he sees injustice, he will definitely draw a knife to help. However, when I saw it today, I was greatly disappointed! The boy played with a handful of copper coins in his hand, lightly cushioned it, and put it into his palm.

"Oh, you're a stranger to me, aren't you?" The man who called himself Dao Xiaofeng said, "But I know everything about you!" Your information was sent back to the Nine Shadows Hall one by one, and I was originally disdainful of a small role like you, but I was very surprised by your growth, so I came to meet you. ”

It's the killer of the Nine Shadows Temple!

"Introduce yourself, in the next scattered wealth boy knife Xiaofeng." He continued to pad the copper coin in his hand and said leisurely.

Xu Xiang has never heard of such a number one person, and Yang Dianfeng has not heard of it either.

"Young master, congenital." Yang Dianfeng's body moved in front of Xu Xiang and said solemnly.

Innate level masters? Xu Xiang pulled out his pistol, although to a certain extent, the pistol may be able to hit a master of the congenital level, but he didn't know how heavy this kid was.

Xu Xiang's eyes were red, the killer of the Nine Shadows Hall reminded him of Qin Chong, and he planned to wait for his foundation to be solid before he hit the Wuye Kingdom and destroy this Nine Shadows Palace.

Now they're delivering it themselves.

"It looks like you're only eleven or twelve years old, even if you start cultivating from your mother's womb, it's impossible to reach innateness so quickly, right? The people of these Nine Shadows Hall should have evil methods to cultivate. Xu Xiang thought to himself.

"You're stopping me with the intention of killing me?"

According to his estimates, if he reached the level of the eldest grandson Mingling, the pistol would not be able to hurt him.

Yang Dianfeng is an acquired fourfold person, Xu Xiang is a person without martial arts, and when he meets a congenital master, he can't escape.

Xu Xiang wanted to figure it out before shooting, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to ask when the next battle started, so he said: "You are a congenital master, one of us here is acquired, and the other is not martial arts." Looks like we're going to have to die? ”

The ghosts of the Nine Shadows Hall are definitely not irregular, on the contrary, he seems to have thought of a person associated with it.

"Not bad! I can't let you continue to grow. Dao Xiaofeng said.

"Don't worry, on this day next year, I will incense you."

"I admit it, but before I die, I want to figure out one thing, and I'm sure you won't mind solving the puzzle of a dead man, right?"

"Tell me about it."
