Yang Yaozong accompanied Ah Yi to wander the streets, and then sent Ah Yi back to the inn where she lived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was almost time for the secret envoy to meet, so Yang Yaozong walked towards the chaos shop near the yamen.

When he arrived outside the chaos shop, there were not many people eating chaos in the shop at this hour, and Yang Yaozong saw at a glance that the eagle's beak was sitting at the table by the window and eating chaos.

Yang Yaozong put on a mask, walked to the window where the eagle's beak leaned on outside the shop, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the poor place of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise." This sentence is a code word that represents the identity of Yang Yaozong's secret inspectorate.

Hearing this secret word, the eaglebeak suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and looked excitedly at the masked person outside the window for a moment, then got up and threw a few copper coins on the table, calmly walked out of the chaos shop, and followed Yang Yaozong, who was leading the way not far in front, to a hidden place.

Seeing that Yang Yaozong's standing place was very secretive, Hawkbeak quickly walked to Yang Yaozong's side, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Meet your lord!" ”

Yang Yaozong helped him up and asked with concern, "Why are you alone?" What about the others? “

Hawkbeak bowed to Yang Yaozong and said, "Hawktail and Hawkeye were recruited as soldiers by the Qinwang Mansion. Hawkeye now serves as a thousand-mile. Eagle Tail served as a centurion, and in recent days, King Qin has stepped up his training, but it is inconvenient today, so the two of them have no chance to come out to meet with the lowly position. Eagle Ears and Eagle Feet are together with lowly positions, but they are also inconvenient to enter and exit, so every time they come here to connect with Eagle Tail Eagle Eyes or exchange messages. “

Yang Yaozong nodded and said, "When I came, I saw that the identity check at the city gate was very strict, how did you enter the city?" How were Hawktail and Hawkeye recruited as soldiers? “

Hawkbeak said: "We can get to Beijing, but we also suffer from strict checks and no one can guarantee that we can't enter Shangjing, so we want to see if we can have a chance to blend into the city." Knowing that King Qin had been recruiting troops near Shangjing and around Hebei, and that Hawktail and Hawkeye were from Hebei, he first asked the two of them to go to the recruiting office to try, but he didn't expect that the two of them were recruited very smoothly, and they were also very important in the army. And I, along with Eagle Ears and Eagle Feet, were brought into the city as workers in the construction of the new palace. The palace was the size of a palace, and nearly 20,000 people were built, but the supervision of workers was still very strict, and they were not allowed to enter and leave the construction site at will. I also took care of the commander who was in charge of guarding me so that I could find a chance to come out. Hawktail and Hawkeye and I have already agreed to meet in the Chaos Shop, and every time we get together in the Chaos Shop, the position we sit in is fixed, and I also make a secret grid in the corner of the wall under the seat, if we can't meet, we will put the information we want to exchange in the secret grid. The lowly position was still thinking about how to send the information back to the adults, and the adults came to Shangjing. “

Yang Yaozong patted the eagle's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You have worked hard!" What information did you find? “

Hawkbeak said: "I learned from Hawktail and Hawkeye that the Qinwang Mansion has now recruited more than 150,000 soldiers, and now they are all placed in Tongzhou for training. Recently, I have heard from the commander of the army who oversees me that the new palace will be completed in a few days, and that we workers who are responsible for building the palace will be brought in to serve as soldiers. Many of these workers were homeless, beggars caught on the streets, and some prisoners, even if they were dragged into the army, they were a rabble. “

Yang Yaozong frowned and said: "I'm still wondering that I can't even see a beggar in the capital, it turns out that they have all been dragged to build the palace." Then he sighed and said: "The rabble is also a crowd, if King Qin plots against the army and moves south, the troops of several provinces along the way are already insufficient, and there is no time to take precautions, King Qin will fight to support the war, and when he arrives in Tianjing, I am afraid that there will be more than 300,000 troops." It's not something that the more than 100,000 troops in Tianjing City can guard against. “

Hawkbeak knelt down and said: "The matter related to King Qin, the lowly position has not been investigated and investigated, and the lowly position has the hope of paying the adult, please give the adult!" “

Yang Yaozong hurriedly raised his hawksbill and said, "I know that you have done your best, and now that your activities are restricted, it is very rare to be able to investigate so much important information. I have not had time to reward you, so how can I give you sin! I'm going to stay in Tianjing for a while, and I've been coming here every day at this hour these days, and if you have any information, come here and find me directly. You've been out for a long time, go back, stay safe! “

Hawkbeak said respectfully: "No! Adults, please be safe, too! The eaglebeak took his leave first. “

After connecting with the eagle's beak, he returned to Zhang Lie's house, and Zhang Lie was still waiting for Yang Yaozong in the main hall. Seeing Yang Yaozong coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "My lord, you can come back!" “

Yang Yaozong smiled and said, "Hmm! But is there something going on? “

Zhang Lie said: "It's okay, it's just that it's dark at night, and the lower officials are worried about the safety of adults." If something happens to the adults, then the officials will be to blame. “

Yang Yaozong said apologetically: "This is my negligence, I forgot to tell you that I have someone to protect, which makes you worried." I'll probably come back at this hour every day from now on, so if you don't have anything to do, just rest in peace. Yang Yaozong said these words to comfort Zhang Lie, as long as he is more careful, there should be nothing wrong, not to mention that no one in Shangjing will know him, who would casually find trouble with an ordinary person? But the matter of connecting with the secret inspector is very secret, and it is not convenient to talk to Zhang Lie and the plate now, so he can only say this to Zhang Lie in order to make him feel at ease.

At this time, the two of them were already sitting in the front hall, Zhang Lie poured a cup of tea for Yang Yaozong and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you can guess wrong. ”

Yang Yaozong took a sip of tea, frowned, it seemed that the tea was not very delicious, so he put down the teacup and asked strangely, "Oh?" What's the matter? ”

Zhang Lie said: "Didn't my lord say that there would be many people who would feast on the lower officials? ”

Yang Yaozong nodded.

Zhang Lie said with a smile: "Today, the lower officials went to register for their appointment, but they didn't receive a single invitation. ”

Yang Yaozong frowned and looked at Zhang Lie and said, "Oh? After pondering for a moment, he sneered and said, "These officials should be waiting to see what King Qin will do." ”

Zhang Lie smiled dryly: "Xiaguan thinks the same way. ”

Yang Yaozong asked with concern: 'Then did they exclude you?' “

Zhang Lie shook his head and said, "That's not it, not all officials bow down to King Qin. “

The two chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as Yang Yaozong turned off the lights, he saw that the room was shining, and then there was a clattering thunder, and then it rumbled overhead, and then the wind outside also whistled, and the windows crackled.

Shangjing ushered in the first storm since the beginning of autumn!
