Chapter 226: Failed Mission
Entering the room, the so-called boss's face changed greatly, he glanced at Jiang Zuiyao vigilantly, and asked Xiang Yichen: "Who is she?" ”
Yi Chen replied: "She is Sumire. ”
The boss was slightly stunned, and began to look her up and down, and after a while, his whole face changed a lot, and he said, "How to prove her identity?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao immediately lifted his arm, revealing the totem, and the boss glanced at it, and the color of vigilance dissipated.
Yi Chen said to Jiang Zuiyao at this time: "This is the Imperial City Division. ”
Jiang Zuiyao suddenly realized that the so-called clothing shop was just a trick to hide people's ears and eyes, just like when they opened a pharmacy in Liancheng.
Yi Chen didn't explain anything more, and said, "You come with me, and I'll take you to meet someone." ”
Jiang Zuiyao followed Yi Chen around the back door, she didn't know who Yi Chen was going to take him to meet, but she was very relieved about Yi Chen.
When he arrived at the backyard of the clothes shop and entered an ordinary room, Yichen walked to the couch, uncovered the mattress on the bed, lifted the bed board, and found that there was a hole in the sky.
A large hole was cut out under the bed and spread into the ground, it was a tunnel.
followed Yichen down the tunnel, and it turned out to be a dark room, where there were many shelves, and there were brocade boxes of various sizes on the shelves, and I didn't know what was inside.
Yi Chen said to the corner of the secret room, "Sumire is back." ”
When the sound fell, I heard a sound in the corner, there was only a fire burning in the dim dark room, and I vaguely saw a figure get up, and when the one walked under the light and showed his face, Jiang Zuiyao gasped when he saw it.
It turned out to be Zhang Yunian!
Jiang Zuiyao looked at him unexpectedly, she didn't expect him to come!
Zhang Yunian looked at Jiang Zuiyao with a displeased face, and said coldly, "How did you come back?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied truthfully: "I was sent back by Shao Ziqing." ”
Such an answer made Zhang Yunian a little incredulous, questioning how Shao Ziqing arrested her, how could she send her back safe and sound, after thinking about it, such an answer is full of loopholes, if Jiang Zuiyao lied, he would not tell such a lie.
In this way, Zhang Yunian didn't ask any more, his face was even more ugly, and he said with full displeasure: "I'm very disappointed in your Nighthawk." ”
This sentence alone was enough to make Jiang Zuiyao and Yi Chen's faces look ugly.
They did fail, they had been led by Shao Ziqing for so long, and in the end they failed to find out where Shao Ziqing was, and Qin Nanxian and Yuhe were seriously injured.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yunian looked at Yi Chen and said, "I thought that you were useful, let you lead the Nighthawk to complete the task, and take you to explain to me with such a result?" I really should have let the head of the Thunder Hall discipline you well, but it was just a probing mission, and you made a mess. ”
Yi Chen, who loved to laugh in the past, is full of haze at the moment.
He was born in the Lei Hall, and the tasks he carried out in the past were mainly assassinations, and his excellence was obvious to all in the Imperial City Division, and he did not fail to complete all the tasks once, so Zhang Yunian had high hopes for him, but with such a result, it is no wonder that Zhang Yunian was disappointed.
But then again, Yi Chen is good at assassination, that is, killing people with knives and swords, but Yinfeng Tang is mainly to inquire about intelligence, and it is best to do it without knowing it, and obtain information without spending a single soldier, so these are what Yi Chen is not good at, and he uses the style of doing things in Lei Tang to complete the tasks of Yin Feng Tang, which is indeed difficult for him.
Jiang Zuiyao said at this time: "Don't blame him, it's me who is too weak and drags Yichen back." ”
Far from making Zhang Yunian angry, he became even more angry: "Do you still know that you are too weak? With what qualifications do you have to be the second commander of the Yinfeng Hall now? ”
An ugly sarcasm made Jiang Zuiyao speechless, and she couldn't even find a word of explanation except for accepting Zhang Yunian's accusations.
Zhang Yunian clenched his teeth with hatred: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's order, I wouldn't have asked you to investigate this matter thoroughly, I really don't know what the Queen Mother values about you!" With the two masters of Yichen and Yuhe protecting you, there will be an accident! ”
Jiang Zuiyao swallowed and foamed with difficulty, she was a little aggrieved, but failure is failure, this time it was a fluke, otherwise Qin Nanxian and Yu Helian would have lost their lives.
Yi Chen said at this time: "The palm order Lord calms his anger, Sumire Ning has already done a good job, if it were another woman, I am afraid that I would have lost my life a long time ago." ”
Zhang Yunian roared with a blue face: "You think this is a trivial matter? You can say why! In the Imperial City Division, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, I Yinfeng Hall casually sent out a few people, and they are all better than you! ”
Whether it is angry or honest, Zhang Yunian is indeed dissatisfied, he has no shame to explain to the Queen Mother in such a result, and under his high hopes, what he gets is disappointment after all.
Yi Chen said at this time: "As the leader of the Nighthawk, my subordinates are willing to bear all the consequences and all punishments. ”
How could Jiang Zuiyao let Yi Chen stop all of them alone, and hurriedly said: "This matter is not about Yi Chen, Yi Chen was not there at the time, it was I who did not protect the injured Yuhe and Qin Nanxian, if the boss wants to punish me, he will punish me alone." ”
Zhang Yunian said angrily: "You bear all the consequences? This is a matter of great importance to the state, can you bear it with three or two bones? Even if I kill you on the spot today, will the consequences of the loss be reversed? ”
Jiang Zuiyao tightened the corners of her lips in embarrassment, and frustration clouded her heart, which she had never had.
At this moment, footsteps came from the entrance of the dark room, and a strange man hurriedly walked down, ignoring Jiang Zuiyao and Yi Chen, and only said to Zhang Yunian: "Report to your lord, there is a secret letter from Kyoto, and the queen mother has written an edict herself." ”
Zhang Yunian hurriedly took the letter, looked at the wax print intact, confirmed that the letter had not been opened by anyone else, he walked under the torch, opened the letter by the firelight, his eyes jumped with the handwriting on the letter, and he didn't know what was written on it.
After reading the letter, Zhang Yunian's face changed slightly, he was usually calm and silent, he looked up at Jiang Zuiyao, and once again read the letter completely, and then burned the letter.
As the paper in his hand burned out, Zhang Yunian opened his mouth and asked, "You said, you were sent back by Shao Ziqing?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhang Yunian breathed a deep sigh of relief, walked back and forth a few steps, looked at Jiang Zuiyao several times, and lowered his head several times to think deeply.
Jiang Zuiyao guessed that the Queen Mother must have told Zhang Yunian something that made him uneasy.
After a long time, Zhang Yunian stopped and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Sumire, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, do you want it?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao was stunned suddenly, what do you mean by this?
