On a loess road in the northeast of the river, dusty and gray sand, a group of twelve horsemen roared past, and the direction they were heading, at the end of the road, there was the outline of a city clearly visible.

These twelve knights are all dressed as the most common warriors in the Hedong region, and they are full of heroic demeanor, so that pedestrians on the road have avoided it and dare not have anything to do with it.

"Purple Flag!"

Twelve horsemen stood in front of the city gate, and the first one looked up at the high city gate tower and gently pronounced the name of the city.

It is one of the four superpowers in the sixteen countries of Hedong, and the capital of the banner country in the north.

Speaking of the city name of the big flag country is particularly interesting, the number of big cities, unified in the name of "x flag", I don't know that the "flag" is an administrative division of the big flag country, just like the Tang and Song dynasties of the 'x state'.

However, although the 'flag' is not the administrative division of the big flag country, each of their cities named after the 'x flag' city, its highest governor is not called the city lord, but the 'flag lord', which is a major alternative among the sixteen countries in Hedong, and it is quite the foot of the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty.

And the capital of the Great Banner Country is called Purple Flag City, for no other reason, just because the Great Banner Country is still purple.

In the center of its walls, a purple square flag waives in the wind.

"Squire...," a large man with a strong physique called cautiously in the procession.

"Well, let's go in, find a place to rest first, and then take a good look around this Purple Flag City. Duanmu Ci nodded lightly, took the lead in dismounting, and led a group of people into the city slowly with the flow of people.

Like all cities, when entering the city, you have to queue up to be inspected, and pay the entrance tax by the way, the kind of horse galloping into the city, except for high-level messengers, the big nobles do not have this treatment, at most they can cut the queue, and they do not need to enter the city tax.

Obviously, in Hedong, in the Great Banner Country, Duanmu Ci and his party are not considered big nobles, of course, if they report their identity, they can get privileges, but unfortunately they don't have this idea.

Entering the city was very smooth, like what kind of city gate officials made it difficult, asked for bribes, the noble son cut in line, took a fancy to their BMW, and the bloody plots such as buying and selling had not happened, calm and without waves.

In fact, it is also very understandable, a group of twelve Jianghu warriors, who are full of food and deliberately make things difficult for them, the husband is angry, and the blood is splashed five steps, although the Great Banner Country does not have this ancient saying, but such things happen every day, and stupid people will provoke this kind of outlaw.

A group of 12 people, belonging to the Generalissimo of the Chinese Shogunate, the Cabinet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Privy Council, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Privy Council, and the Jinyi Guard, Duanmu Ci, who has been to Hedong for the shortest time, has also been here for nearly half a year, and has been to dozens of cities, and has long passed the freshness of the exotic customs when he first came to an unfamiliar region.

After entering the Purple Flag City, the group did not have the slightest interest in looking east and west, and walked straight to the south of the city with the horse, according to the layout habits, most countries in the Hedong region are used to placing the market in the south of the city, correspondingly, the hotels in the south of the city are also the most, after all, there are many merchants.

As soon as you enter the southern part of the city, there are obviously more pedestrians on the street, and the sounds of selling, bargaining, and quarreling in various accents are endless, and it is a busy scene.

But again, it's also very messy!

Chaos means easy trouble.

However, these are fearless for Duanmu Ci and his party.

"Shilang, Seven Tigers Inn!" Suddenly, Qianhu Leng Jian of Qianhu in the northeast district of Jinyi Weihe stopped, pointed to a familiar signboard at the corner of the fork on the left, and stopped Duanmu Ci.

When Duanmu Ci heard this, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and looked in the direction of Leng Jian's finger, and sure enough, there was a familiar signboard hanging in the air, although Duanmu Ci didn't understand the big flag text on it very well, but the Hedong lingua franca next to him, he could see it at a glance, it was the four big characters of 'Seven Tiger Inn'.

"Seven Tiger Inn?" The others next to him also looked over, for these people who have been in the Hedong region for a long time, most of them came from the Wilderness of Atonement, and they are no strangers to the Seven Tigers Inn, the largest inn in Sin City.

And as a secret service department, they also all know that the behind-the-scenes boss of the Seven Tigers Inn is very close to Huaxia.

"Let's stay at the Seven Tigers Inn!" Duanmu Ci said with a smile, "The fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it can be regarded as increasing the turnover of our friends." ”

"Hehe..."

Staying in the Seven Tigers Inn, Duanmu Ci and the others did not explain their identities, and the relationship between the Seven Tigers family and Huaxia was not close to that point.

After a simple tidying up, the group left the inn again, quickly blended into the flow of people, and scattered in all directions towards this exotic capital.

About dinner time, the twelve people who were separated gathered at the Seven Tigers Inn.

"Time is tight, and it's hard for people to get too much information, but we don't need that... Hehe, let's talk about it!" Duanmu Ci sat on the main seat and said with a smile.

As he said, at this time, Purple Flag City is so big, it is not enough to go around in Purple Flag City, even if everyone is the elite of the intelligence department, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Everyone reported the news they heard in turn, and most of them were very similar, but Duanmu Ci listened very carefully, and after listening, he said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, everyone knows that this trip is to let everyone personally investigate, mainly to echo and confirm the information provided by the Purple Flag City Hundred Households in the Northeast District of Jinyi Weihe... Don't get me wrong, this official doesn't distrust his colleagues on the front line..."

Gao Wangzhi of the hundred households of Purple Flag City hurriedly got up, saying that he didn't dare, in fact, he was really unhappy in his heart, and felt that Duanmu Ci was completely idle, and he didn't need to have ready-made information, so he had to work blindly, and he was also tired of others, as a result, the news he got was not as comprehensive as the information he provided, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Gao Wangzhi's thoughts, no one cared at all, and he didn't need to care, Duanmu Ci waved his hand to let him retreat, and then continued: "In this way, we can probably know a situation, the decline of the Lin State, not only we are worried, but the Great Banner Country is more worried than us, it is enough to have this, the so-called people who want to hate each other, and those who have the same enemies go on a blind date, since they have common interests, then the next lobbying official will be more certain." ”

Hehe, the worry has even spread to the people, which shows that they can't sit still. Although Leng Jian's facial expression was still indifferent, there was a faint smile in his tone.

"Actually, I didn't think to cover it up when I saw the banner court. Wang Yikun, deacon of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said.

"It's okay no matter what, as long as you make sure that the flag country has a kick. Duanmu Ci said confidently, "I'm afraid that they don't have this idea, and they just want to stay out of it." ”
