The few willow trees that could still sprout sprouts were trying to hold their heads high in the face of the rising sun from the east.

Under the willow tree, a team passed through and quietly left the Qingzhou capital city.

"Brother Xian, Brother Fool will not be far away." Chai Yinbin drove lightly and said goodbye to Kang Ning and others at the city gate.

"Don't worry, brother, it's not a long way to go. Besides, the little brother is now like an iron beast in Qinling, and both black and white have intersections with me, so don't worry. ”

The so-called iron beast is the national treasure giant panda children's shoes. Chai Yinbin thought about it, this thing is indeed a combination of black and white, which is very similar to Kangning's current multiple identities, and he can't help but feel sorry in his heart.

So he nodded and said, "I know in my heart that the virtuous brother is clever, but I am uneasy in my heart, and I don't know where I came from. I just hope that the virtuous brother can take care on the road. ”

Kang Ning heard a little bit of sincerity from this, so he bowed sincerely: "Please rest assured, brother." ”

Then, Kang Ning left Shang Xin, Yang Dayan, Ai Mengxia, Gai Nie, and a dozen of his buddies and turned to leave.

Hu Luguang and Song Ci stayed in Qingzhou Mansion. Yuan Fang was secretly sent by Kang Ning to take Liu Rengong to do a few trivial but unavoidable things.

Kang Ning, who was dressed like a business traveler, but with an expression of a poet appreciating the landscape, walked towards the border of Qingzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion.

It's just that what he tasted was not the beauty, but the famine.

"I remember that there was a man named Zheng Xia in the Northern Song Dynasty, who once gave Song Shenzong Zhao Ji a "Map of Displaced People", I don't know if there is such a stunned person in the national dynasty."

Shang Xin sneered: "There are many people who cheat the court staff in the country, and there are too few people who really seek the well-being of the people. Even if there is such a dumbfounded, I'm afraid the emperor won't see his picture. ”

At this time, the Wanli Emperor was in the period of neglect, even if someone really appeared in the "Wandering People Map", the result could only be to stay in the middle and not send it.

"yes." Kang Ning cast a far-reaching gaze at the distant capital, and in his field of vision, the meatball-like Wanli Emperor seemed to be staring at him as well.

He didn't know why he had such an inexplicable feeling, but her mind couldn't care about it anymore, and began to process the information that suddenly erupted from Guan Yu Wanli's slackness.

The long period of neglect of the Wanli Emperor was not included in the Guinness Book of World Records, which is a great regret of my traditional Chinese culture. After the New Year's Day of the seventeenth year of Wanli, the New Year's Day court meeting was canceled on the grounds of a solar eclipse, which opened the prelude to not going to court for 28 years.

In the month of that year, some cabinet ministers Wang Jiaping resigned in protest.

However, how could the Wanli Emperor stop his great cause of "quiet photography" because of the barking of a Confucian minister?

In the past 30 years, he used this "quiet shooting" method, nesting quietly in the harem, not going to the suburbs, not going to the temple, not seeing the court, not criticizing or talking, but he still won the victory of the three major expeditions, and controlled the party struggle of the courtiers at the lowest level.

It is difficult to say whether this Wanli Emperor was a lazy worm or a clever ruler.

That's what Corning is most curious about.

Kangning, who was in meditation, could not be disturbed, so the group quickly fell into silence. Only a few animals who are not sympathetic make various sounds from time to time.

A few days later, they finally walked into the city of Jinan. There are not only three yamen at the level of the political envoy here, but even the provincial stations of Haiyou Road, Jinan Road, and Dongyan Road are also here, and other yamen, such as the prefect and county, are naturally not lacking.

In fact, in the Qing Dynasty, it was more lively here, so that there were drawbacks such as rushing, complicated, and difficult. The governor, the government, the school, the law, the salt transportation department, the Jidong Taiwulin, the patrol police, and the Quanye Dao are all stationed here.

However, in Kangning's view, the Jinan Mansion in the Ming Dynasty was not much better. If he hadn't been thinking about whether the next development of the DPRK Bureau would affect his plan in the past few days, I'm afraid he would have started to complain a long time ago.

After finding an inn to stay in, Corning shut himself in the house and continued to meditate. Shang Xin and the others were inconvenient to bother, but they each used wine and food, and went back to their rooms to rest.

It wasn't until the night, when the breeze outside the inn was floating, that a figure suddenly flashed, and Corning suddenly opened his eyes.

"Wu Sijie?" The training of special forces in his previous life had given him a lot of skills needed for night observation, and this person's body was so familiar that Corning felt that it was unlikely that he would admit his mistake.

"Sure enough, I was very talented, and after just one glance, I could see that it was my shape."

The latched window was easily pushed open without a sound. It seems that the latch has long been sawn off.

Wu Sijie jumped into the room, and stood in front of Kang Ning with a forward roll.

"Should I bow to you?" Corning asked with a sneer.

"Whatever you want." Wu Sijie was wearing a cloak, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but his next explanation made Kang Ning sure that he was not angry, "Every secret agent in our husband's mission bureau is a master of the Jinyi Guard, and there is only a liaison relationship with me, not a subordinate relationship. Of course, you weren't originally from Jinyiwei, even in Commander Lee's plan, you would be an important part. But he wasn't going to make you an agent like us. ”

"And now? What kind of spy am I? ”

Wu Sijie smiled: "Obviously, it's not a secret agent like us. Although you do the same work as us, you have always had your own plan, although it is perfectly connected with the original plan we formulated, not only does not affect, but also complements each other, and even kills two birds with one stone. It's not like us, we just do what we are told. ”

Kang Ning knew that Wu Sijie must have learned about his change of plan from Cod. And he has now completed his assessment of the new situation. Kang Ning had to admit that his assessment was very good, and it was gratifying that his unauthorized change of plan did not cause misunderstanding on the peak, and it was worrying that the peak of Jinyiwei looked difficult to be fooled.

But in the short term, he doesn't need to fool Jin Yiwei. Daming's espionage system will be an organization that Corning will serve for a long time. Because of this, it is most convenient for him to hide in the shadows to brake quietly.

"So, the purpose of your trip is to ask me about my next plans."

Wu Sijie nodded: "I knew you would think of this." So, I don't need to say more. ”

"It's actually quite simple. I just want to step on the corpses of Wang Sen and others and get close to Xu Hongru. It's just that Xu Hongru doesn't want Wang Sen to die yet, so I'll be a good citizen quietly. ”

"Xu Hongru's part of the plan, when you put it forward, I felt that it was difficult to gain his trust in a short period of time."

"That's a long time." Kang Ning said, "At present, Wang Sen obviously knows more about Xu Hongru than we do. ”

"Of course." Wu Sijie said, "After all, there is a master and apprentice." But speaking of which, now is a good opportunity to get to know Xu Hongru through Wang Sen. Cod told me that the Monkey King plan he formulated was to let you and Xu Hongru have a duel. ”

"It was an unexpected turn of events. Not in our plans. ”

"But it made our planning a lot easier. In the first place, there could be no foolproof plan. ”

"That's right." Kang Ning said, "I estimate that it is almost impossible to completely gain Wang Sen's trust, on the contrary, Xu Hongru is not as cunning as his master. Therefore, while we basically find out Wang Sen's movements, we must also pay attention to cooperating with Xu Hongru to seize the power of the church. ”

"Is it hard and then easy?"

"In fact, it is easy first and then difficult. Xu Hongru's methods may be far more than we think. ”

"yes, after all, he's that kind of person, oh, he should be called a traverser now."

Speaking of how the name "Traverser" was known to the natives, Kang Ning suddenly remembered the Taoist priest that Wu Sijie once said.

"What happened to the only Taoist priest who knew about the existence of our husband's errand?"

Wu Sijie replied: "I went to the capital in the fastest time and told Your Majesty about your worries. His Majesty also knew that the Taoist priest named Qin Ming, as the only one in the Ming Dynasty who knew about the organization of investigating the traverser, had to strictly control him. But His Majesty did not want to chill him, so His Majesty only told him that our various investigations into the traverser had been launched, and we hoped that he would pay attention to his safety. ”

"That's too lenient."

"But the man's performance was okay." Wu Sijie said, "The emperor rewarded him with a courtyard, knew that he was lustful, and rewarded him with a lot of beauties, and since then, this guy has not gone out much." Occasionally, when I go out, I will take the initiative to notify the Jinyi Guard, asking us to protect us from front to back. ”

When Corning heard this, this kind of performance was indeed acceptable. Then he asked again: "You said that this Taoist priest is called Qin Ming?" ”

"Exactly."

"Then our people, has anyone noticed a Taoist priest named Sun Wenqi?"

Wu Sijie's expression immediately became serious, and he asked coldly, "How did you know about Sun Wenqi?" ”

Kang Ning obviously felt that something was wrong, but he still replied calmly: "From Xu Hongru's subordinates." ”

Wu Si sighed: "The reason why Qin Ming knew that there were other traversers in the Ming Dynasty was precisely because he had met Sun Wenqi before. At that time, Sun Wenqi was helping people treat the plague, and Qin Ming said that the techniques he used were only used by traversers. ”

Corning was taken aback. He had previously speculated that Sun Wenqi was also likely to be the organizer of a secret order. If this speculation is true, and what is known today, then it is likely that he spread folk beliefs such as the White Lotus Sect by treating people's diseases.

"Can you find him?" Corning asked.

"He often goes up the mountain to collect herbs and knows a lot of ways that our spies don't know. It's hard to find, but it's easy to lose him. ”

Corning smiled wryly, this butterfly was difficult to deal with.

But now, there is no need to fight him.

But there's a better one right in front of you.

"Is it necessary for me to visit Mr. Akira tomorrow?"

"You doubt him?"

"Doesn't Qin Ming doubt it?"

"Qin Ming really didn't doubt it."

Kangning was stunned and asked, "Impossible." Many of his theories are very similar to Xu Hongru. ”

Wu Sijie said coldly: "Because Qin Ming confirmed that he is a traverser." ”

Kangning covered his face, and it turned out that this butterfly had already been characterized.

"So what do we need to do about him?"

Wu Sijie replied: "You don't have to worry about this. What he is doing so far is beneficial to Da Ming. Whether it is Qin Ming or His Majesty, they are all happy to see him succeed. ”

Kang Ning also nodded secretly in his heart, he was also happy to see Shi Ziming and the others succeed.

"And." Wu Sijie suddenly continued, "About his life, it's yours. ”

Kang Ning was stunned for a moment, and his heart turned for a long time and he didn't understand, so he had to ask: "How do you say this?" ”

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that you will take over the task of him only after you have done the task in front of you. ”

This answer was very unsatisfactory to Corning. But he couldn't help it.

Thinking about Shi Ziming, he was only a stone's throw away from him, but he had to take a long detour, first clean up the one in Luanzhou, and then finish the one in Yanzhou, so that he could participate in his plan.

People have a long way to go, but he is good, the road is not long, and he still has to repair the distance, or even surpass it.
