On the fourth day after the end of the war, the battlefield had almost been cleaned up, and according to the plan, it was time for the Fire Tiger soldiers in the north of the Dragon Pass to set off and return to the base camp of the Cangnan Army.

On this morning, Zuo Yin was sorting things out in the tent, but someone from the guard camp came to him.

"Captain Zuo, Wei Guogong has affection."

Zuo Yin was a little puzzled, at this time, what else could Wei Guogong do with him?

Still, he respectfully followed the herald to the council hall where the dragon was closed.

As soon as he entered, Zuo Yin found that there were only two people in the entire council hall, Wei Guogong and Gongsun Tao, the commander of the guard battalion.

When commemorating the dead soldiers yesterday, Gongsun Tao was next to his master, so Zuo Yin remembered him.

Hearing Zuo Yin's arrival, Wu Jing, who was originally looking at the map, turned around, Zuo Yin got closer, and found that Wei Guogong looked like he had aged a lot in an instant.

Wu Jing saw Zuo Yin's distraction and teased:

"Why, did you find out that my old pawn is really old."

Zuo Yin was shocked, and when he was about to explain, Wu Jing waved his hand and said calmly:

"Don't be inhibited, I'm kidding. But I, Wu Jing, am indeed an old pawn, so Zuo Yin, you don't have to be so restrained all the time, how comfortable you are. ”

When Gongsun Tao heard this, there was a smile on his face.

Wu Jing's words were generous, but Zuo Yin was a little embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said:

"I don't know if Gong Wu summoned Zuo Yin, but he has a task."

Wu Jing looked back at Gongsun Tao behind him, who nodded.

Immediately, Gongsun Tao took a step forward, his eyes showed resoluteness, and said:

"I think you also know that Duke Wu will set off for the imperial capital in a few days, which is a return to Beijing every three years to report on his work."

"Originally, the Cangnan Army had just ended the war, and Wu Gong needed to deal with the complicated affairs, but the imperial capital was urging tightly, and Wu Gong had no choice but to set off in the near future."

"Gong Wu has a good sense of you, Zuo Yin, let me ask you."

"Are you willing to enter Beijing with Duke Wu?"

After Zuo Yin listened, he looked directly at Gongsun Tao. In his eyes, there was the unique vitality of a young man, and the sunlight outside the council hall shone obliquely, just enveloping Zuo Yin.

Wu Jing, who saw this scene, somehow sighed a little.

I probably remembered some genius young man thirty years ago.

Zuo Yin knelt on one knee, put his right hand into a fist in front of his chest, and said in a deep voice:

"Zuo Yin is willing to follow Duke Wu."

Wu Jing waved his hand and motioned for Zuo Yin to stand up, he said slowly:

"The reason why I want you to accompany you is because I believe that your Zuo Yin is as loyal as you treat your comrades-in-arms and your master."

"This time I entered Beijing, and I was accompanied by a guard battalion, crows, and, of course, a fire tiger, so you have to get along with them."

"Three days later, let's go."

Zuo Yin clenched his fists to his chest and said in a deep voice:

"Zuo Yinding will not fail in his mission."

Wu Jing seemed to be very concerned about Zuo Yin, and said happily:

"Don't worry, it's not for you to fight, but for you to accompany you all the way. After arriving in the imperial capital, you will go to the Imperial Martial Arts Hall to report, which lasts for a month, which can be regarded as an exchange with the younger generation of the future military and military forces of the empire. ”

There were some doubts about this arrangement, but Zuo Yin still remembered it.

For him now, he doesn't know what it means to enter the Imperial Martial Arts Hall, but this arrangement has deeply affected Zuo Yin's life trajectory in the future.

Zuo Yin got up, and was about to retire from the fist, Gongsun Tao seemed to remember something, and reminded:

"Zuo Yin, Du Dutong seems to have something to look for you, you go and see you."

Forest Department Du Wanli is unified? Zuo Yin's heart was a little cold, Du Dutong hid himself in black clothes, and he didn't even know what Du Dutong looked like, what sound, what preferences, etc.

The officers and men of the entire Cangnan Army seem to be secretive about Du Wanli, which is very strange.

Wu Jing saw what Zuo Yin was thinking, and explained seriously:

"In fact, the tasks of the Ministry of Wind and the Ministry of Forestry are not much different, they are both spying on the situation, but one is outside the pass, and the other is the opposite."

Opposite! Zuo Yin reacted instantly, the task of the forest department has always been to spy on the empire? How could this be known to him, the captain of the fire department, and he immediately got down on one knee again.

Wu Jing waved his hand and said:

"It doesn't matter, you are a disciple of Chang Zhi, and you should know this, not to mention that it is not a secret, the upper echelons of the empire basically know about it, just as we also know that the empire has planted spies in Cangnan."

"In a way, it's a tacit approval on both sides."

Zuo Yin suddenly sighed in his heart, when he was in Qingshan City, the storyteller mentioned the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, and when he mentioned more, there were three people who married Jinlan.

At that time, the saint who had been on the throne for ten years, Lu Dingbei, the new king of Yan, and Wu Jing, a ruined nobleman who had been promoted to the army, joined forces to repel the Northern Barbarians who had ravaged the North and the Atrium for 20 years.

Since then, there have been thirty years of prosperity after the Yuanjia Northern Expedition.

It's just that Zuo Yin didn't expect that the protagonist who staged the mutual acquaintance between the monarch and the minister now does not seem to be as harmonious as the storyteller said.

Perhaps, it is just a means, in the heart of the saint, there is still trust in Wu Gong.

And this is not something that he Zuo Yin can speculate about.

After coming out of the council hall closed by the dragon, Zuo Yin went to find Du Wanli Dutong.

Throughout the battle for more than a month, Lin Bu also made a last-minute move, and ten black-clothed warriors joined forces to raid the Autumn Wing of the Tianhuang Clan, which also left a deep impression on the others.

The temporary camp of the forest department is very small, and Du Wanli spends most of his time in the mountains of the Kanto region of the Dead Dragon, and rarely comes here.

But now that the fighting is over, Du Wanli has returned to the camp. Zuo Yin directly reported to the guards at the door, and then entered the main camp tent of the forest department.

In the tent, there were few items, a cabinet of books, a map of the empire, a table, a few chairs, and that's it.

Most of the items in the tent were ink-colored, which also added a bit of a solemn atmosphere.

Du Wanli was still dressed in the same outfit, he was seriously "looking" at a book, Zuo Yin was a little suspicious, how could he read the words on the book clearly through such a black veil.

Behind Du Wanli is an old man about fifty years old, the old man is tall, dark-skinned, and his eyes are extremely slender, and he doesn't look like a native of the Central Plains, but Zuo Yin knows that the old man is Du Wanli's deputy general-Dugu Wang.

Hearing Zuo Yin come in, both of them looked over, Dugu Wang saw Zuo Yin looking over, smiled slightly, and said:

"Captain Zuo came here, it seems that he has promised Duke Wu to go to the imperial capital with him?"

Only then did Zuo Yin know that after agreeing to Duke Wu, Du Wanli would be summoned, but he still nodded.

Dugu looked at his hands staggered, his wrinkled face gradually stretched, and said with a smile:

"In that case, there are some things I want to inform Captain Zuo."

"As Captain Zuo knows, the spies of the forest department are called crows, but this is only on the surface."

"To be precise, the spies of the forest, the male, are called crows, and the females are called sparrows."

Zuo Yin was suddenly a little surprised, female? In the Cangnan Army, there are female attachés in the physician battalions and logistics departments of various departments.

The combat troops have always been all male, and now that the spies in the forest department are women, Zuo Yin is still a little unexpected.

However, considering that the spying of the forest department is mainly oriented to the Dead Dragon Pass, then this is understandable.

Sometimes, maybe it's a little more convenient and easy for women.

Seeing that Zuo Yin's expression quickly stabilized, Dugu Wang secretly admired it, then took out a map and said to Zuo Yin:

"Captain Zuo, come here, this is where a sparrow in the forest is."

Well? Zuo Yin was puzzled, this kind of thing should be confidential, but he believed that the two had no malicious intent, and after experiencing the battle on the battlefield, Zuo Yin had an almost instinctive sensitivity to killing.

Zuo Yin walked over, but saw that it was a map that encompassed the entire empire, the northern land, the western wilderness, the southern frontier, the East China Sea, the atrium, and the five areas were marked with different colors.

Dugu Wang pointed to the large mark in the middle of the atrium.

"This is the imperial capital, Bian'an City."

Immediately, he slid a little distance towards the south of the imperial capital with his hand, looked directly at Zuo Yin, and said:

"Here, there is a small city called Zhuxian Town, which is the last resting place of the Northern Empire, and this is also the farthest distance that the sparrows fly."

Zuo Yin is a little clear, it seems that the forces of the forest department have not entered the imperial capital, it is estimated that it is the order of Duke Wu.

Dugu Wang's eyes suddenly became a little deep, like a wolf, staring at Zuo Yin and saying:

"Inside Zhuxian Town, there is a nest of sparrows, I believe Captain Zuo can find it, hehe."

After Dugu Wang finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter, which was a little weird in this slightly dark tent.

Du Wanli waved his hand, Dugu looked at the door and shouted:

"Sending off guests."

Zuo Yin reacted at this time, this is the end? But there was no way, Zuo Yin bowed to Du Wanli and retreated.

After seeing Zuo Yin leave, Dugu Wang spoke:

"I don't know if that kid can find out?"

There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Du Wanli nodded lightly in the black clothes and black yarn, and seemed to believe in Zuo Yin.

After Zuo Yin walked out of the camp of the forest department, he still had some doubts, and Du Wanli showed him the secret arrangement of the forest department, but it was equivalent to not saying anything.

Zhu Xianzhen, Zuo Yin figured out the name of this place several times in his heart, but he didn't find any anagrams that hid the head and tail.

Let's look at it then, Zuo Yin roughly knows the route to the imperial capital Bian'an City, and their party should have entered from the west of Bian'an City, and it is estimated that they will not have time to go to Zhuxian Town in the south.

However, the Imperial Martial Arts Hall, you have to ask about it, and you can be prepared.

The younger generation of Emperor **Wu?

Zuo Yin couldn't help but be a little excited.
