Chapter 296: That Thing

When Emperor Qin's heirs praised Xie Shence with "I am not lonely", Xie Shence was lamenting that life was as lonely as the Yellow River flowing eastward.

The news of the Jin State's "verdict" on Zheng Keming was just Xie Shence's hand, in fact, before Xie Shence came to Yuncheng, he had already deduced the approximate time of Zheng Keming's entry into Qin with Zhou Jinmian, and then gave Emperor Qin's heir a dismissal at the right time.

The treatment of Zheng Keming, in fact, after Emperor Jin was furious and scolded all the Tiqi Divisions except Xie Shence, Xie Shence and Zhou Jinmian set the details.

Zheng Keming must have been "actively abandoned" by the Jin State, and Zheng Keming must have been accepted by all countries except the Qin State as a traitor, so Zheng Keming will also be a breakthrough for the Jin State to condemn and accept him.

Then this news must be sent out before the Qin people announce the use of Zheng Keming, just like Baili Dui said to Ying Hei, to announce that Zheng Keming is a surrender before the Jin Kingdom. It's all about occupying the commanding heights of benevolence and righteousness, and whoever says it first will be able to successfully make a first impression and be recognized by all countries.

Therefore, after it was determined that Zheng Keming was intercepted by the Qin people, the Jin State could release the news, and as for why Xie Shence had to announce it before Ying Hei decided to use Zheng Keming and was about to issue a decree, there were two reasons.

First, because even in the Jin Kingdom, Tiqi let Zheng Keming escape, but during the period when Zheng Keming [-,wwā—‹w. was secretly sent to the Qin capital by the hive, Tiqi never gave up chasing and assassinating, which is also the reason why the Qin people were slow to be sure that Zheng Keming had been completely in their own hands, and then announced it to the public. Ti Cai didn't succeed, which means that he still had a chance to kill Zheng Keming directly, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xie Shence did not immediately announce the news that Zheng Keming was a traitor. Maybe you can really kill Zheng Keming? Doesn't that save a lot of things?

The second is purely Emperor Jin's personal bad taste: it is to disgust the heir.

I have to say that the second reason is actually the real reason why Xie Shence has not released the news for a long time.

Because Emperor Jin was very unhappy, he also wanted to see Ying Hei very unhappy, even if he couldn't see it, but he felt very cool when he thought about it!

In that case, what better time for him to find out that he had been tricked than when he was overjoyed?

However, in order to satisfy the evil taste of Emperor Jin, Tiqi killed eight spies who had been hidden for more than two years in the Qin capital. They are a second-in-command of the underground forces, a deputy hall master, two people, two restaurant guys and two Qinglou foremen.

And the dead are still the easiest. Because of the dead man, some of the channels for transmitting news that the Ti Cavalry Division has operated for many years have either been abandoned and dare not be used anymore, or have been cleaned by the beehive. The chain reaction caused by it, even if it is not an insider in the horse, feels very pity.

The emperor is angry and bleeding, how can he care about the life and death of a few people?

As for the future intelligence work, it will be difficult to carry out? Then it's not the responsibility of Emperor Jin, even if it is, who dares to say, "It's because of what you did in the first place that this can't be done"?

Of course, these have already happened, and there is no point in pursuing it again, and Xie Shence has no better compensation except for thickening the bereavement pension.

At this time, Xie Shence came to the Yellow River, and it has been more than 20 days.

He came here because he had found some traces of the Great Whitefish cavalry. According to the investigation of more than 20 days, Xie Shence can already conclude that the big white fish cavalry that was once here is the same as the big white fish cavalry he encountered at the beginning, which is likely to be led by Xu Huan himself.

That is, the Great Whitefish cavalry began the search for something very early.

While Xie Shence was investigating this matter, he also unexpectedly found some old acquaintances.

For example, Huan Shi, Fang Nongshi

Although it is said that Huan Shi was not in Wu Qinghe's Modao Formation during the Jincheng War, the body was not found. I thought that he was taken away by his subordinates in the chaotic army, but now it seems that Huan Shi is not only dead, but also reconnected with the Taihang Mountain bandits.

Xie Shence originally wanted to set a trap to capture the two alive, but a secret letter from Zhou Jinmian that he received immediately made Xie Shence dispel this idea.

So Xie Shence continued to observe patiently.

Gathering intelligence is a very technical task, and the experienced Tiqi refers to collecting intelligence as "grocery shopping", and it has to be carefully selected in order to cook delicious food. It's a fun and patient thing to do. It can hone people's will and mind.

But as an intelligence chief, Xie Shence is very boring.

So after receiving Zhou Jinmian's letter, he put aside the idea of "catching the fish that slipped through the net", and did nothing all day long, sighing the loneliness of life.

To be honest, Xie Shence didn't really have any idleness, except for the first few days when he pretended to be a scholar with the surname Yan (half of Xie) and learned fishing from several fishing lakes by the river for a few days, he also stayed at the station and began to deal with intelligence.

Speaking of thanking Shence for pretending to be a bachelor to "stay overnight", it's very interesting.

It turned out that the fishermen were led by a middle-aged man named Boss Hong, who had a daughter in the boudoir, and Xie Shence enjoyed a few days of happiness during the stay.

Boss Hong took a fancy to Xie Shence and asked him to be his son-in-law.

Xie Shence was born handsome and beautiful, coupled with the ability and heroism refined on the battle array, it is very similar to the appearance of those rangers in the book commentary, especially with a narrow Han knife on his waist, he is even more handsome and graceful.

It's only been two days, and Boss Hong can't wait to say directly that you kid should be my son-in-law!

Miss Na Hong's appearance is also very thoughtful, Xie Shence has also looked at it, if it is three points white, and then change her outfit, it may not be like some official ladies. Miss Hong's needlework is also excellent, and she sews Xie Shence's clothes very carefully, Xie Shence looks at the fine stitches and is not worried that there will be a needle in the clothes that has not been taken off to pierce his waist.

And Miss Hong's thanks to Shence can be heard from the delicate "Yan Gongzi".

However, Xie Shence slipped away on the third day since he saw Boss Hong's unkind gaze.

It's not that I think Boss Hong will be unfavorable to me, it's because Xie Shence saw Boss Hong's intentions.

Isn't it just to be your son-in-law?

This kind of uncle Admiral Ben has seen a lot, and I think that the two uncles who had a dart game in the northwest back then were vying to marry their daughter to me!

The wife of the Admiral Ben is beautiful and fragrant

After Xie Shence returned, Tiqi still didn't make much progress.

On the one hand, this place is from the fringe area of the war, and there are usually no people, so it is really difficult to find out information and obtain intelligence. Except for a few fishermen at the beginning, Xie Shence hardly saw anyone after that. Later, several fishing families also moved away.

Second, it is true that the actions of the beehive are extremely hidden, and Tiqi has searched for so long, and he has searched for hundreds of miles and has not been able to find any valuable clues.

Therefore, Xie Shence can only rely on some clues to make some speculations that have no basis in fact.

However, even so, on the day of April 25, some extremely trivial clues were discovered by Xie Shence.

Tiqi picked up a piece of yellow cloth and a piece of wood.

The yellow cloth and wood chips made Xie Shence's heart tremble.

Bright yellow is used by the emperor. In the era when people are divided into nine classes and classes are strict, not only the colors and styles of clothing for people of all levels will be stipulated, but also different industries also have system regulations.

For example, merchants are not allowed to wear silk, and peasants can only wear gray, black, and brown clothes.

And this small piece of Ming Huang Xie Shence narrowed his eyes, could it be that Emperor Qin's heir came to the Yellow River?

As for the piece of wood, Xie Shence is more familiar with it, it is specially used to hold the material of jade, as the saying goes, it is called "raw gold wood", it can raise jade, it is an extremely rare wood, and a large piece of palm is worth a thousand gold, comparable to red sandalwood agarwood. Wang Jiehua's vanity mirror is made of this wood.

Xie Shence suppressed the shock in his heart, and couldn't help but think of some things on the way back to Jindu in the fourth year of Zhenglong.

White-robed general, Shandong horse bandit, Northern Army

Could it be that this is what the Great Whitefish Cavalry has been looking for?

However, from the conversation with the general who was suspected of Xu Huan that day, the person said that the thing he was looking for had already arrived, in that case, it shouldn't be that thing that appeared here?

After thinking about it for a long time, he thanked Shence for his head, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.

"How to enter a dead end to find, it doesn't have to be something, it can be a physical object, it can also be a sentence, a message, or even a trace, then, according to this line of thought, the big white fish cavalry is likely to just get a message, and now the people in the hive should be looking for that thing"

However, soon, Xie Shence fell into deep thought, and his current situation was a little difficult.

What is the reason why the bandits of Taihang Mountain appear here?

Xie Shence's current difficulty is that even with some factual evidence, he still doesn't know what his target is going to do next.

Is that thing in hand, the hive? If not, is it coming soon, or are there only some preliminary clues? Where did that thing appear? Where is it now? How many people's hands have passed? And how many forces are looking for at the same time?

These are unknowns.

Xie Shence has always hated being in the fog, and there is a large unknown waiting to be solved in front of him. He likes the feeling of having everything in his hands, or at least knowing the cause and effect.

It's a pity that Zhou Jinmian is not here now. And on the Jindu side, Zhou Jinmian couldn't get out.

Although the release of the Taihang Mountain thieves was based on a conjecture of his, and Zhou Jinmian was helping him verify it, Xie Shence also knew that Zhou Jinmian really couldn't spare much energy to pay attention to Taihang Mountain now.

Because Zhou Jinmian is also very busy now.

After Emperor Jin issued a notice about Zheng Keming from the Jin capital, Ti Qisi was busy again.
