Li Yongfang left through Chen Yijing's side door, Chen Yijing did not send him off, a servant who did not know any details came to close the door, Li Yongfang put on a guara hat on his head, the edge was pulled very low, and the hair on his ears and temples was covered.

He wore a common Taoist robe-style jacket outside, and when he came to the street, he bowed his body, buried his head slightly, and used the guise of fortune-telling to escape a traveling Taoist priest, and when such a person entered and exited people's homes, he was not easy to be suspected by outsiders.

This area is now a high-end living area outside Dengzhou City, many officials in Dengzhou Town live here, and Xu Yuanhua and Wu Youdao are at the level of a street in the north, and most of the officials of Dengzhou Civil Affairs are also there.

Li Yongfang mixed in the flow of people, glanced at the street to the north, there was a civil security team standing guard at the entrance of the street, small vendors and Taoist priests could not enter, according to Chen Yijing, most of these houses were destroyed by Kong Youde during the Dengzhou Rebellion, Dengzhou Town came to occupy it, only paid a small tax to Penglai County Ya, and then it became the assets of Dengzhou Town.

According to Li Yongfang's investigation in the past six months, Chen Xin does not interfere too much in the private life of his subordinates, and treats him more favorably in terms of material, but it is limited to silver houses, and no one can use soldiers as slaves.

Li Yongfang saw the people answering at the street entrance, one pretending to be a Danlang and the other pretending to be a tea guest, Li Yongfang passed in front of them, and after making sure that they saw him, he went to the avenue into the city.

Dan Lang was the first to get up and followed behind Li Yongfang, and the tea guest observed for a moment, and only after seeing that there were no suspicious people did he follow behind. The three of them walked back and forth and entered the city through the Chunsheng Gate. Turn south at Mifen Bridge, the lanes here are dense, the loss is relatively small during the Dengzhou Rebellion, and the dwellings are quite complete.

Li Yongfang seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, and went straight into an alley, which was rarely visited by people on weekdays, and Dan Lang stopped at the entrance of the alley, just blocking the road, and Li Yongfang changed his clothes at the bend. Cough and tell Na Dan Lang, then walk out of the alley on the other side.

At this time, he had already changed his appearance, wearing a square hat on his head and a green shirt on his body, looking like a gentleman-like person. There are many such people in the city, either merchants or students, and they are not eye-catching.

He turned east and west in Nancheng, came to the vicinity of Chaotianmen Street near the south gate, and came to the back door of a two-entry courtyard from the back alley.

In front of the courtyard is a charcoal shop pù, just on Chaotianmen Street, and in the back is this two-entry courtyard. Li Yongfang knocked rhythmically on the door, and there was no delay in the door, and the door opened almost immediately, and the door creaked open. Revealing a fierce face, it was Li Yongfang's family for many years, Li Yongfang walked into the courtyard and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Every time he goes out, there is a risk. Because his hair hadn't grown yet, and he couldn't pretend to be a monk for a long time. After a month of colder weather, it will be more common to wear hats, and it may be safer.

He didn't go to the store, he went directly into the main house of Erjin, and the head of the house followed in, poured him tea, and whispered to Li Yongfang: "As soon as the master goes, he has been gone for two days, and the slave is very anxious. ”

Li Yongfang didn't care if the tea was still hot, so he couldn't wait to take a sip, and then raised his head and said: "Li Ken, what's the matter with you, you said don't call the master, don't talk about the slave, remember it in the future, don't lose your life because of these little things." ”

The head of the Ding family responded, and at this time, a businessman-like person came from the shop, and also said to the Ding Li: "Li Dongjia reminds me well, this Dengzhou Town is no better than other places, their intelligence bureau is stronger than Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and even the Jingshi has their people, last year the Jingshi was served in two places, that is, those people still used the old method to spread some rumors in the teahouses and restaurants everywhere, and they were targeted on the way back, and the two places were served by people the next day, and more than ten people only escaped from the two, and I heard them say that most of the people who attacked were Shandong accents, Maybe it's from the Dengzhou Town Intelligence Bureau, but now that we're in their lair, we have to be careful at all times. ”

Li Yongfang lay on the chair, squinted his eyes and said: "Lao Jiang is still sensible, Li Ken, you have just come here, you have to listen to Lao Jiang more." ”

The old Jiang in Li Yongfang's mouth was originally stationed in Beijing, Li Yongfang first sent him to fight the front station, and single-handedly founded this stronghold, this person has been active in Beijing since the Apocalypse, and has changed countless names, and now the fake name is Jiang, and Li Yongfang also calls him Lao Jiang.

Then Li Yongfang said the information he had obtained here, and then said to the two: "You all talk about it, see if we can do it?" ”

Lao Jiang bowed down and said: "Let's talk about the villain first, the villain arranged for two people to enter Dengzhou Town, one is the old man Yuan brought by the Jingshi, he found a thing to clean the street in the Civil Department, and the villain asked him to collect the garbage and paper thrown away in Dengzhou Town every day, and after bringing it back and putting it together, he can see a lot of things." In addition, the two of them went to Tunpu, both of them were in Changyi, and they sent a letter back yesterday and wrote some things about the training of the soldiers. As Li Dongjia said, Dengzhou Town is going to send troops to Lushun again, probably a thousand generals, plus a general of the Right Association transferred a few days ago, that is, more than 2,000 people, and at this time, it is necessary to notify the Great Khan as much as possible, in case he misestimates the military strength of Dengzhou. ”

Li Yongfang thought of this message, and also felt a headache, now Deng and Dengzhou sailors are strictly investigated, and there is still private trade, but the threshold has been raised a lot, not a person with a big background, once he is caught, the ship and cargo will be empty, and the person will have to be arrested and interrogated by the governor's yamen. And among these people with backgrounds, there is no root who is willing to pass on the letter, and Li Yongfang does not dare to reveal his identity.

Last time, I relied on Lao Jiang to buy three small boats and sent his own people to smuggle in at night, but only one of the three people arrived, and finally sent the information that Chen Xin went to suppress the bandits in time.

Lao Jiang looked at Li Yongfang's expression and knew that he was worried about this, so he whispered to Li Yongfang: "Owner, the villain thinks that he can find another way to pass the message, Ningyuan's merchants often travel to and from Dengzhou, mainly to buy some cigarettes and southern goods, if you can help the villain get some cigarettes, then the road to Ningyuan will be open." This time there was no need for this, because the Great Khan was in Lushun, so we bought some fishing boats, or sent two or three people to deliver the letter, and went ashore directly on the west side of Lushun. ”

Li Yongfang advised: "With the merchants in Ningyuan, the money should be bargained, don't let them think that we don't care, so they will be suspicious." In addition, don't use our stakes in Ningyuan, they have been in the company for a long time, and the people in Liaozhen actually know it, don't use them, lest someone find out to us. ”

Lao Jiang agreed: "My subordinates remember, the people sent to go directly to Karaqin, and when they enter the tribe they are familiar with in Duoyan, it only takes three or four days to get a horse and go to Shenyang." ”

Li Ken asked coldly: "Dengxiang is selling very well, and small tobacco vendors in Dengzhou often can't get the goods. Where can you get so much goods for Ning Yuan? ”

"That still has to fall on Chen Yijing, he is a person from the Department of Industry and Commerce, and Dengxiang's cigarette factory is under their jurisdiction."

Li Yongfang nodded, "I can only talk about this next time, don't persecute Chen Yijing too much for the time being." Let him go deeper and deeper step by step is the right way, not only to his source of goods, but also to let him think of finding the recipe for Dengxiang, I heard that Dengzhou this year also through Guò Phi Island to buy North Korean tobacco, in addition to Jinghai there are direct cargo ships to North Korea, there is also tobacco in the bulk of the goods, as long as I Dajin gets this recipe. The goods route on the Mongolian side will definitely be able to be grabbed, which is much more convenient than this Dengzhou, and you can exchange cigarettes for horses, so why not. ”

Li Ken said admiringly: "It's still the owner who thinks far." The villain only knows how to cut and kill, so he said that there is food in Weihai, do you want the villain to go and burn the grain? ”

Li Yongfang and Lao Jiang shook their heads at the same time. One of them, Lao Jiang, said: "Don't go to Deng, almost all of them are military forts now." Strict armor, repeated checks at various intersections, in addition to the sea route to Weihai and Jinghai, other places are extremely difficult to move, Weihai defense is particularly tight, most of the old tun households in the past moved to Denghe Dengzhou, now it has been changed to a military port, you walk over with a foreign accent, not to mention burning warehouses, even the port can not enter. ”

Li Ken was dumbfounded: "What did the villain do?" Since Dengzhou is very well guarded, the villain can go to other places in Denglai to destroy. ”

Li Yongfang straightened up, "Denglai here, the most loose thing is Dengzhou, where the general army is stationed, and even Laizhou can't be compared, so the local trade is frequent, and the people are naturally complicated, and there are many court officials here, Dengzhou Town can't cover the sky with one hand, those rural places in Pingdu Prefecture, if you go like this, maybe someone will come to interrogate you, and if you can't deal with it well, you have to put yourself in." ”

"The villain won't betray the owner!"

Li Yongfang waved his hand, "I know, I know, but there is a saying that is right, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and even more so for those who do our thing, think about the fate of Wu Changchun, you should know that there is nothing wrong with being careful, we must keep a low profile in Dengzhou, and those indiscriminate methods used in Jingshi and Guanning in the past should not be used here, it is useless and easy to expose yourself." Our first thing is to report the situation in Dengzhou to the Great Khan for details, and then to sabotage, this matter must be done in order to ensure that everything can be done, Li Qiang, you can stay in Dengzhou for the time being, and be responsible for the contact between us, especially near this place, we must lay out the escape route, and cover the place here. ”

Lao Jiang said in a low voice: "The owner, this matter has been arranged, here to the southeast, a courtyard has been purchased, it is also two entrances, separated by the street, the villain roughly measures it with his feet, about twenty steps apart, the villain will dig a tunnel from the main house here to that place, and prepare a change of clothes over there." Once there is something here, we can withdraw from the main house, and rent a small porch room diagonally opposite the shop, thirty steps to the north, to monitor the street for abnormal people, etc., where there are calligraphy and painting stalls. ”

"The arrangement is very proper, but the old man is still a little worried, this place is narrow, there are two alleys around, and we can't get out of it if we block it, we have to find another place, it's best to buy it, save those troubles......"

"The owner." Lao Jiang gently interrupted him, "The housing prices in the vicinity have risen sharply, and the courtyards facing the street of the three-story store are more than three hundred taels." ”

"So expensive?" Li Yongfang was shocked, the ordinary shops in Jingshi were not so expensive.

Lao Jiang nodded slightly, and Li Yongfang muttered: "Then when you go back this time, you have to ask the Great Khan to give you more money." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the side door, and Li Yongfang stood up with a sigh of relief, until he heard the rhythm clearly, and then said with relief: "Li Ken go and open the door." ”

The Dan Lang who began to cover soon came in, and he was holding a military newspaper, "My lord, this is the latest military newspaper from Dengzhou, the first batch has just been sold, and the villain went to grab a copy, according to the above, they killed two or three thousand gold men and horses in Lushun a day, and also captured the white flag of Buck Mountain alive." ”

"Buck Mountain?" Li Yongfang exclaimed, he hurriedly took the military newspaper and looked at it, there was a brief introduction to Bakshan on it, and Wang Tingqian's position arrangement for this person was to be a general manager in the main barracks. Obviously, Chen Xin has already communicated with Wang Ting, and he uses this person as a signboard, just like Li Yongfang's effect on Houjin, and at the same time, he also wants to cut off the retreat of Buck Mountain.

"Have any of you seen Mount Buck?" Li Yongfang asked the people around him.

Li Ken pointed to himself, Li Yongfang had naturally seen it, but a single Buck Mountain was actually nothing. The main reason is that he is a brand of Houjin, and he often goes to surrender and the like, so he has a lot of time to show up, and many of Liu Xingzuo's subordinates know him, and many of these people have taken refuge in Chen Xin, which is the reason why he feels unsafe in Dengzhou.

"Lao Jiang." After reading it, Li Yongfang said in a deep voice: "Go to find a new place, no matter how big or small, but you must meet the conditions I said, and the news will be transmitted in the future, only arranged here, and the newly bought place can only be known by these few people here." When everyone goes out, they bring poison with them, and when they die, they die, so that they don't have to be tortured by the Naden State Intelligence Bureau. ”

Lao Jiang responded in a low voice, and everyone else in the room was waiting for Li Yongfang to say some news from the military newspaper, Li Yongfang followed the military newspaper all the way, the first page was Chen Xin's chapter, of course he didn't have any feelings for people like Li Yongfang, and then there was a series of victories, how many heads were captured, and how many injuries were killed, all of which were unfavorable to the Houjin army.

Li Yongfang remembered what Chen Yijing said, I heard that Liu Min has been focusing on cotton recently, Li Yongfang really doesn't know what cotton is about, but the more he doesn't understand, the more he feels that something is wrong. Now Dengzhou Town is like a swelling monster, and the shock to Li Yongfang is very similar to the sudden rise of the Houjin Army back then, and it is really difficult to say how many years will pass. Although there may be an element of bragging in the military newspaper, Lushun will definitely not be easy to fight.

"Li Ken, you send the military newspaper to Niuzhuang, you go in person, and see how the Great Khan asks us to help in Dengzhou, and rush back as much as possible."

"Understood." Li Ken received other information from the military newspaper, and Lao Jiang took him to the outside to make arrangements.

"I hope the Great Khan can conquer Lushun, and I don't know how the battle will be today." Li Yongfang prayed in her heart.
