Final Chapter. 99. Edamame tofu

For Zhou Changan, he is not afraid of going to fight in front of the battle and splash blood for five steps; is not afraid of the transfer of troops and the confrontation between the two armies; But he was afraid that the decapitation operation that Qin Jun's hand had already played once would once again crush the already crumbling morale of the army.

If Shen Gui could come to raid the battle, he would still have some confidence in his heart and dare to start a fierce battle with the Qin army in Hedong City; Unexpectedly, in addition to the recipe letter that saved his life, his reply was only a spring rain sword, a broken inkstone, and an old ginger slice......

Old ginger slices...... Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, Zhou Changan waved his hand to summon the red crow guard who killed the old cat:

"Scorpion Tiger, among the top players in the rivers and lakes, is there a capable person surnamed Jiang?"

The guard was silent for a long time, and then spoke with some hesitation:

"There is an old official in the Lion City on Jizhou Road, named Jiang Dada, who has relied on a pair of iron fists to crisscross the rivers and lakes for decades, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is extremely prominent."

"Okay, then you can go to the Lion City now, and please move Jiang Lao Dart to come to Hedong City to sweep the formation."

"Master, are you telling jokes to villains? A year and a half ago, when Jiang Lao Darthead died, weren't you one of the people who went with him personally? ”

"I ...... Forget it, you only want one more alive. ”

"Alive, I want to think about it...... Oh yes! In Yecheng on Zhongzhou Road, there is a woman named Jiang Huan, who is good at using a pair of nine-inch Emei thorns, specializing in hitting one hundred and eight key points in the human body! But Jiang Nuxia seems to be happy, counting the days, it should be about to give birth......"

"Someone! Pull him out and cut him down! Hurry up, I'm going to see blood now! ”

"Don't, don't! Master, in fact, you don't need to ask me! The top player surnamed Jiang, isn't that obvious? Now in the Wulin Road of Huayu Continent, eight or ninety percent have followed Xin'an Hou...... Hey, look at my mouth! Following the rebellious circumference wind, he rebelled! At present, the top players, except for Shen Gui and Shen Taichu, the only knight you can invite is Jiang Xiaolou, the third master of Shunan Sword Pool! ”

Although this scorpion tiger has a deliberate element of dislike, he did say what Zhou Changan was thinking. In fact, long before Zhou Changan received Shen Gui's handful of old ginger slices, he had already moved the idea of inviting Jiang Xiaolou to defend the city and plunder the formation; However, after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be more secure to invite Shen Gui.

It is true that the choice of the people in the martial arts to help the abuse was indeed out of the surprise of the Northern Yan Imperial Court; But this is also the sequelae brought about by their strong support for the Qingmang Sword God Yue Haishan, and it is no wonder that others are resentful; And although Zhuhai Sword Pond is the pillar of the southwest supported by the imperial court, it is also burdened by Shen Gui, a mourning star, except for a few second-generation disciples, it is already in name only. Therefore, if Jiang Xiaolou plans to revive the glory of Jianchi, he must follow his master's example, save the general of Beiyan Building, and solve the suffering of the common people.

However, seeking Jiang Xiaolou to help him, the disadvantages are also obvious. At present, the Northern Yan Dynasty is crumbling, and there is no time to care about the growth of the Zhuhai Sword Pool faction in the Criminal Department, which will lead to an imbalance of power; However, although Jiang Xiaolou is just a person from the rivers and lakes, he has a hardcore "royalist" who lives in Shunan Zhuhai for a day, and Zhu Yuntao, the soil emperor of Bashu Dao, will never dare to change his course openly! The Purple Gold Palace in Yanjing City, whether it can stop Jiang Xiaolou, Zhou Changan's heart is still somewhat vague; However, the Governor's Mansion of Bashu Rong City will definitely not be able to stop Jiang Sanye's three-foot green peak!

If Jiang Xiaolou moves! Then Bashu Dao, which has been forced to watch from the wall, has lost its only clamp! At that time, how could Zhu Yuntao, the governor of Bashu Dao, who had a bloody feud against his son, be in the same boat with Emperor Tianyou, who shielded the murderer?

Now that Shen Gui has released the pigeons, Zhou Changan can only be forced to make a decision: even if he risks the loss of the clamp of Bashu Dao, he must ask Jiang Sanye to use his sword out of Shunan. If he goes to Hedong City to unify the army this time, he will also follow in the footsteps of Xu Ronghuan, then Hedong will lose! As soon as Hedong was lost, the route of the Qin army to the north was almost a flat river, and it was meaningless whether Zhu Yuntao of Bashu Road was against or not.

The scorpion tiger was punished by Zhou Changan for an errand that offended people! He wants to choose a competent person among the Chiwu spies who accompany the team. This person asked Qiao Zhuang to change, with the spring rain long sword, carrying the broken inkstone, and the old ginger slices, crossing the Yu River from the eyelids of the enemy's light and dark sentinels, and then running day and night on more than 2,000 miles of mountain roads, until the "ruins" of Shunan Zhuhai Sword Pond on Bashu Road.

After some courtesy and courtesy from the brothers, the Scorpion Tiger finally selected this "lucky one". This person is about forty years away, his ancestral home is Huizhou, and his code name in Chiwu is called "edamame tofu".

Edamame tofu is inconspicuous among the red black, neither the fastest legs and feet, nor the most intelligent head, nor the strongest skills, and even the worst popularity. The reason why this person was favored by Zhou Changan and selected into Chiwu was because he could bear hardships and stand hard work and have a generous appearance. This kind of work like going behind enemy lines and ventilating the news is simply the most suitable for him.

However, from the perspective of the scorpion tiger, there are other reasons for choosing edamame tofu to take on the heavy responsibility.

Edamame Tofu is hard-working, hard-working, generous and almost cowardly, and has never had a verbal quarrel with anyone; No one looks like a secret agent, born with the best camouflage skin. However, there are no perfect people in this world, good people, bad people, ordinary people, just as average. An honest person like Edamame Tofu also has a not-so-good hobby: gambling money.

With such a chief official as Zhou Chang'an, the salary and benefits of the Chiwu spy have reached the sky. However, the blood-sweated silver that edamame tofu bought in exchange for carrying his head had to be handed over to the gambling table nine times out of ten. How good is he to gamble? Get up early to eat a sesame baked cake, and I want to bet with the boss on the single and double sesame seeds!

The saying that there is no winner in gambling for a long time is not suitable for edamame tofu; Because since he developed this vice, he has not had the energy to win from beginning to end! Even if the owner of the treasure bureau deliberately gave away a treasure in order to bolt the guest, he would encounter all kinds of strange things, which led to his final defeat, and the evil sect reached the extreme. After a long time, the people of Chiwu also knew his "moldy" characteristic, so they changed the code name originally given according to his gentle temperament from tofu to moldy tofu. Later, he felt that this code name was too frustrating and would affect the luck of betting on the treasure, so he changed it to a snack in his hometown, edamame tofu!

Edamame Tofu's parents have already been starved to death by a great drought and birth. One person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, coupled with the fact that the master does not skimp on the payment of money and benefits, and the nature of the work is also extremely dangerous, these external factors have developed the habit of not leaving silver in edamame tofu. But in recent days, Edamame Tofu has been in the casino, and he has met a widow with a very bad reputation. The two began to get acquainted with each other to exchange betting experiences, and after going back and forth, they exchanged some feelings.

According to the new rules set by Zhou Chang'an, once the Chiwu Chinese plan to marry a wife and start a family, they can receive a sum of silver and gold basins to wash their hands and live a dull life of living and working in peace and contentment. Therefore, before this trip, edamame tofu can also truthfully report that there has been a change in his love life, so as to stay in Yanjing City to take care of his family.

However, Scorpion Tiger knows that Edamame Tofu still owes a small amount of gambling debts that have not been repaid, so now is not the best time for him to quit Chiwu. It just so happens that this mission is very important, and if he can run this long journey smoothly, he will definitely get a large reward. Not only can he pay off his gambling debts, but he also has enough money to buy a house and land to marry a wife.

Mao Tofu himself is also grateful for the care of the scorpion tiger, and knows that the road ahead of this trip, although it stretches for more than 2,000 miles, but in addition to some crimes, it is not dangerous, and the reward is very rich; The only thing you need to care about is the timeliness of completing the task: the sooner you arrive at Zhuhai Jianchi, the safer the four princes and their colleagues and brothers in Chiwu, including the people in Hedong City and the 200,000 army.

In the eyes of the layman, a spy is a delicate errand, and it must be the essence of those who pull out the hair and are empty, so that it is competent; Although edamame tofu is not so clever, he is naturally honest; It's the kind of ordinary that is thrown in the pile of people and can't be found at all; It is often such a person who is more likely to be ignored by the enemy; It is also easier to pass through the layers of blockade of the Qin army and arrive in the hinterland of Bashu Road for help.

Edamame Tofu dressed up the Spring Rain Sword and turned it into a broken crutch that can be found everywhere on the street; He bought a torn dress full of fleas from the homeless and broke his right ankle alive! In this way, he limped on the road to the west with a broken wooden stick and a fluent and authentic Bashu official dialect......

Chiwu is also the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and there are contact points all over the Huayu Continent! But with the enemy's spies behind him, Edamame Tofu is very careful in every move! He walked along the official road with straight eyebrows and limp for seven days and seven nights, stunned that Shuimi didn't hit his teeth! It was precisely by virtue of his lifeless nature that he deceived the Diting eyeliner under the command of the black dog, and mistakenly thought that he was a Bashu Dao disaster victim who planned to return to his roots, so he stopped tracking.

If it weren't for the enemy's eyeline, they would only have monitored edamame tofu for seven days; He's going to starve himself to death on the way! As for the fainting that finally dispelled Di Ting's eyeliner, he really came to the physiological limit!

After the spies left, edamame tofu, who was in a coma and waiting to die, was woken up by a passing father-in-law. After he found out that the spies had left, he used some dry food and water, picked up his ankles, went to the nearby Chiwu contact point, changed into a fast horse, and went straight to the Zhuhai Sword Pond.

A few days later, the eldest son of the kind old man's family, while working in the field, accidentally dug up a gold ingot from his own field, which also set off a treasure digging fever in the local area!

Edamame tofu has come all the way, first seven and eight, and stayed up for fifteen days and nights! It wasn't until he rode a horse to the outside of the Zhuhai Jianchi Mountain Gate that the whole person was thin and skinny, and his beard and hair were glued together, looking so embarrassed......
