The plan to land from the Bohai Sea went smoothly and did not cause any waves - the only waves came from my heart.

I've thought countless times that one day I'd come back here—this piece of my homeland—but I didn't expect to come back in this way.

It was late autumn, and there was a light rain in the sky, sprinkled on the body finely, soaked in the cold, looking at the pedestrians around from the carriage, I always felt that in this autumn rain, it seemed that everyone's expression was not very real, as if wearing a veil.

We divided into three vehicles and headed all the way to the northwest—leaving some of the men behind to continue trading in the Bohai Sea, while I took the most elite men and hurried to Beijing at full speed.

Along the way, day and night, before the east gate of the Jingshi was locked on the second night, he finally rushed into the city.

After entering the city, we found Mo, who had come earlier, and led us to a small courtyard in Bada Hutong. It's also a secret stronghold we bought earlier, and no more than one person knows about it. So despite being betrayed by Murong Qin, it was still safe here.

At that time, the reason why I bought a house here was actually considered - the eight alleys, which gradually became a scale in the Ming Dynasty and reached the peak of prosperity in the Qing Dynasty, are a place with a lot of "heritage".

The eight alleys generally refer to Shaanxi Lane, Baishun Hutong, Stone Hutong, Hanjiatan, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Rouge Hutong, Wailang Camp, Pimpie Camp and other eight alleys.

Before the Republic of China, the Fengyue places here were divided into four levels, and there were seventy or eighty "regular businessmen" registered in the register, which was really not small.

Among the four levels, the first class is called "Qingyin Small Class", which is the first of the four levels, and the fireworks women here are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and chant poems against each other, and they are all celebrities and gentry, powerful and wealthy businessmen. Qing Yuanchun, located in Hanjiatan Hutong, was the leader in the "Qingyin small class" at that time.

The second-class is called "Tea House", and it is also a relatively elegant Fengyue place, and it is generally here to play the plot. Those who only want to get to the master in one step, but choose to go to the last two levels.

The third-class "lower" is relatively simple in terms of decoration and function, and the fireworks woman is relatively older and has an average appearance, of course, the "service fee" is relatively economical.

As for the most inferior is commonly known as "kiln", the house is extremely simple, to put it bluntly, it is a bed, and most of the people who come are porters, turners and coolies, etc., and everyone has no communication tricks, one hand pays the money, the other hand delivers, all work by strength, eat by ability, and no one will look down on anyone.

So, I chose this place to look at this: the people are mixed and the ingredients are mottled. In these eight alleys, you can find people of any grade and industry. Therefore, it is the most suitable place to choose this place as a hidden foothold!

After all, if there is no deep hatred, who is idle and has nothing to do, and comes here to arrest people? When I pushed the door, the people in the house were very familiar, but they were not wearing clothes! I'm afraid that if I'm unlucky, I'll lose my job when I go back this time, so most of the officials and errands will turn a blind eye to these eight alleys.

After eating, I sat down in the cubicle and gently wiped the lightsaber. Ever since I got this set of weapons and martial arts, I've been practicing diligently! During this time, I felt like I had figured out a simple thread.

The psychic and cold crystal techniques taught to me by the third uncle ancestor are more like basic skills, in other words, the foundation. On top of that, you can build on other kung fu.

The Shen Yue Sword Technique and the Shadow Accompanying Body Technique are moves that are completely built on top of other basic exercises. To put it bluntly, what the third uncle taught me is a skin of each other. With the previous foundation, I learned the new exercises with half the effort, and many times I felt that it would come naturally.

And I secretly said in my heart, today is the maiden battle of this exercise!

When night falls, the lights in the eight alleys are even more brilliant, and the warblers sing and dance, and the sound is in the ears. The girls get up and go to work, it's time for us to go too!

It's still my trio with the Nine Ghosts Masataka and Mo, and the place I'm going to today is by no means idle, so I'm still dispatching the most elite forces.

Because what I'm going to today is Murong Qin's home, the compound of the Murong family. I have to find out, what exactly are they trying to do? Also, find a chance to return the favor.

Walking through the night, about forty minutes, Mo stopped, and we had come to a large mansion located outside the mouth of the vegetable market and by the Liangshui River.

I recall the floor plan that Mo had shown me in the afternoon—the work of his former outpost. This compound is divided into a main courtyard and four courtyards, the main courtyard is in the middle, the courtyard is separated from the east and west, north and south, the courtyard is soft and angular, and it is estimated that the design creativity is a blooming flower, but when I look at it, it looks like a tomb where the old and the young live side by side!

The main courtyard is inhabited by the heads of the Murong family, and the defense is the tightest. Among the four courtyards, the southern courtyard is respected, and the young talents of the Murong family live there. In the north courtyard opposite, the daughters of the Murong family lived.

The east courtyard is a guest room, which is quite neatly tied; The western courtyard is the residence of the servants, so it is also the most simple and crude.

Before I came, I had already made a plan, we were going to two places - one was the main courtyard, and the other was the western courtyard.

To put it bluntly, if you want to get information, you have to go to the main courtyard and listen to what the leaders have to say. If you want to get the loophole, you have to go to the West Courtyard and listen to what the servants are worried about.

We climbed into the wall from the east side of the courtyard, the whole courtyard was quiet, there was no light, it seemed that there were no guests in the east courtyard today, and the reception task was zero.

After passing the corridor, we slowly touched the main courtyard, but we heard a conversation that was getting clearer and clearer—from the small building in the center of the courtyard, where the lights were on on the third floor.

And I suddenly found that the surrounding area began to change the undefended posture of the east courtyard just now, and became quite heavily defended!

Around that small building, the guards almost formed a circle! It's not an exaggeration to call it one after another!

What's going on inside? Who are they? I suddenly had a premonition in my heart that I was going to catch a big fish today!

But before catching a fish, how to get close to this small building became the biggest problem.

I crouched atop the inner wall, silently observing the movements of the guards. Although there are many people in this group, it can be clearly seen that they are divided into two distinct factions!

The faction with a larger number of people seems to be weaker in momentum, people stand tighter with each other, their expressions are more restrained, and their clothing styles seem to be basically the same as those of the servants in the courtyard, and it seems that they should be internal members of the Murong family.

The number of people in the other group is obviously smaller, but it is full of style, uniformly wearing tight blue power suits, and their behavior is very domineering!

This domineering is a heartfelt, inside-out outpouring, and everyone on this team feels like that. To describe it specifically, it is like living at the top of the food chain for a long time, and the feeling and temperament that you have been accustomed to for a long time.

This is different from the domineering of those people in society who are shirtless, have a crab tattoo on their back, and talk with their noses with a cigarette in their mouths, that is a little hooligan, this is the real black club!

Take a closer look, there seems to be an acquaintance in the middle - the guy who made a big fuss in the Qingyu Pavilion last time, what is it called? It is said that he was exiled, why is he still here? It seems that these people should be the people of Jinyiwei? The people who are here today are the Murong family and Jinyiwei?

Looks like I'm going to have to touch it anyway and listen to it! I secretly made up my mind. But how? In addition to courage, what I need at this time is a way!

I quietly observed the movements of the other side, seeming to ...... The two of them are not so tacit, more like they have a disagreement! In addition to the clear position, the momentum and attitude are also incompatible!

There must be a chance! I watched them move, and suddenly I had an idea!

I called the Nine Ghosts to come over and said a few words softly, and the Nine Ghosts nodded and quietly climbed to the other side!

The two teams just cooperated with each other and defended each other. Suddenly, a Murong family guard standing at the front felt a slight pain on his face! Something seems to hit you in the face!

He raised his hand and touched his face, but there was nothing, so he looked around strangely! It may be that his expression was too funny, which caused several Jinyi guards who witnessed his expression to chuckle softly.

This guard said in his heart, it must be these guys' troublemakers! These damn brocade guards are usually high up and look down on people! said that it was a meeting, such a serious occasion, but they came to bully people like this!

He glared over there, laughed at the other side, then got annoyed by the look, and immediately glared back! The guard thought to himself, forget it, it's a small thing, just endure it if you can! Don't delay the big thing. So he turned his head away and stopped looking at the brocade guards.

But he didn't turn around for long, and suddenly there was a slight pain in his head! Someone apparently hit himself with a stone!

The guard couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned around angrily with his hands on his head, pointed at the brocade guards and shouted, "What are you doing?"

His voice startled everyone around him! Suddenly, the leader of a brocade guard shouted, "What are you yelling about? Beware of disturbing the nobles! ”

This guard is unrelenting, and he is also arrogant on weekdays, but he can't bear to be provoked again and again by people like this!

So he shouted angrily, "Ask your people! They stoned me! ”

The leader of the Jinyi Wei frowned, turned around and asked a few words in a low voice, then turned around and replied, "This friend, you must have misunderstood, our people have not done such nonsense!"

The guard endured patience several times, but he was still angry, glaring angrily at the brocade guard opposite, and cursing in his mouth. Although the two sides are allies, neither of them wants to lose momentum, so the crowd began to gather in this direction!

I don't know who among the brocade guards whispered: "Not to mention that I didn't beat you, what if I did?" There was disdain in his tone.

The leader of the brocade guard obviously heard it, but he didn't stop it, obviously he thought so too. Suddenly, the guards were even more excited, and they quarreled together! Look at the posture, if you don't agree with each other, you have to do it!

After arguing for a while, the big man upstairs was alarmed, poked his head out of the window, and scolded a few words loudly, and the two parties below parted indignantly.

By the time they had returned to their positions and filled the void they had just revealed, I had already crossed their defensive line and infiltrated the roof of the third floor! Gesturing to the nine ghosts below and Mo, signaling them to be hidden, I gently lay on the roof tiles.

After listening for a long time, the bottom was still in a mess, so I held my breath and moved a tile a little away, revealing the scene in the house!

Several people in the room looked at the situation from the window and returned to their tables. I glanced at it, there were six people in total, four of whom I didn't know, but I inadvertently found two "acquaintances"!

One is Murong Qin, who I "think about for a long time", this little woman hasn't seen her for a while, and she seems to have a queen's temperament! Sit there and be calm and relaxed!

The other is the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard who once brought someone to make up for me! I didn't think he'd be here today!

These six people sat in pairs of threes, and it seemed that they belonged to the Murong family and Jinyiwei. Except for Murong Qin and Yan Xufeng, the four people are not young anymore, and it is estimated that they are all high-level leaders of the two parties, at least the representatives of this meeting!

It's good that they're all here! I secretly said in my heart, I still have to run two places in the province! Let me hear, what do you want to do when you gather together like this?

Looking at the six people with different expressions below, I secretly thought in my heart, trying my best to run the wolf Gu style, and quietly listening to the sound below.
