Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Red Fox Appears
Everyone looked at the dark passage behind them in amazement, including Wu Qing.
He had been here so many times that he didn't know that there was a secret passage in this place.
Gonggong Xiao smiled slightly, looked at everyone's expressions of disbelief, and didn't explain, "What are you waiting for?" Why don't you go down and see what's inside? ”
Immediately, three Shadow Division spies cautiously walked in.
It didn't take long for a spy to run out, "Commander, there's not much space inside, there's a bookshelf, a bed for resting, and nothing else has been found." ”
Gonggong Xiao stood up, asked all the others to be on standby, and then walked in slowly.
It's really not big, it's a bedroom-sized space to be exact, and the bookshelves are filled with the privacy secrets of various sects, which is not unusual for the Shadow Division.
The other two Shadow Division spies knocked for a long time, but they didn't find any more mechanisms.
"Don't just look at the walls and the floor, can't you see such a big bed? What did Zhou Yidu teach you? ”
Seeing Grandpa Xiao's dissatisfied, the three of them hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and lifted the futon on the bed, which was full of tiled stone slabs.
They tapped each stone slab carefully, and finally heard a hollow sound under one of the stone slabs in the middle.
"Commander, there's something down here!"
"Hmm" Grandpa Xiao was not surprised at all, "Open him!" ”
The spy took out his dagger and slowly pried open the slate, and a sandalwood box lay quietly in the hollow below.
Take out the box and open the lid, there is a red fox mask inside, a copper "fox" token underneath, and a silver ticket and account book underneath.
Looking at the contents inside, Grandpa Xiao didn't say anything, motioned for them to close the lid and take the things away.
"Here, it's just a stronghold of Zhong Qing, you leave ten people nearby to continue the search to see if there are any other caves around, and the rest of the people will follow me back to Beijing."
When he returned to the Shadow Division, only Zhou Yi was on duty, and Shi Bin and Feng Buchao had already gone to the other eight states to carry out the mission.
"I have left people to search in the suburbs of Beijing, you sort out these things brought back from Jingzhou and the 'Burial Temple', Wu Qing will be left to you for assignment, it is still useful to kill someone or something." After saying these words, Gonggong Xiao returned directly to the palace.
When Gonggong Xiao walked into the imperial study, Li Yilong was also in the room.
Seeing Xiao Fu come back, Emperor Ren put down the book in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "How is it?" What's the catch? ”
Xiao Fu bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it can be regarded as a bit of a gain, and it has been preliminarily confirmed that Zhong Qing is the leader of the 'Red Fox', and the Thousand Machines Pavilion is just a money-making tool under the 'Red Fox' organization." Moreover, they also found their stronghold in the suburbs of Beijing, which should be a secret resting place for Zhong Qing, and the old slave in it has been placed in the Shadow Division. The old slave suspected that there might be other secret bases on the outskirts of Beijing, and had already left ten people nearby to continue the search. ”
Emperor Ren looked at Li Yilong in the distance, "Yilong, you also heard, why Zhong Qing betrayed the Shadow Division, and who she is doing things for, this is what I must know!" ”
Gonggong Xiao also reminded Li Yilong in a timely manner, "Life in the world is nothing more than fame, fortune, and love, the fame and fortune that the Shadow Division can give her is almost difficult for others to satisfy, I suggest you focus on inquiring about all the men she has contacted, especially in the period before the establishment of Qianji Pavilion, where did she go?" Who did you meet? ”
Li Yilong immediately bowed down and saluted, "Commander Xie mentioned, go and check immediately, Your Majesty, Weichen retires!" ”
Inside the secret room on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Lord, I didn't expect Xiao Fu to go out of Beijing in person, and he also pointed the finger directly at Qianji Pavilion, it seems that this old thing is really ruthless and accurate." The man in black had an angry expression.
"Xiao Fu has always done things like this, if he doesn't move, he will go straight to the point. He can directly attack the Thousand Machines Pavilion, not necessarily because he knew that the Thousand Machines Pavilion belonged to the 'Red Fox' before he made the move, otherwise he would not have waited until now. He should have had scruples about Qianji Pavilion for a long time, Zhong Qing has not reported the origin of Qianji Pavilion, he will naturally suspect that if it were me, I would not let what I can't control grow a little bit. ”
After pondering for a while, the "Lord" continued to analyze, "There is also the fact that the martial arts conference is about to be held in Jingzhou, he should be there to deter Dongfang Qiming and let him not mess around." ”
Zhong Qing nodded, "I'm afraid that the Thousand Machines Pavilion can't be saved, the 'Burial God Temple' should have been exposed, and my subordinates will wait and check it out." ”
"Lord" waved his hand to stop her, "Since there is a risk, you must give it up decisively, there is nothing important in it, right?" ”
Zhong Qing thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's just a place for me to rest temporarily, only some information on the rivers and lakes, as well as the accounts of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, there are no confidential things." ”
"Lord" nodded reassuringly, "Well, that's good, don't go to the 'Burial Temple', I'm afraid it's not very safe here, and we will have to pay attention in the future." ”
At the same time, the two Shadow Division spies were searching nearby, they had just been criticized by Gonggong Xiao in the afternoon, they were now extremely careful, and every nearby stone would be tapped, for fear that something would be missed.
"Who?" "Lord" heard the knocking sound outside, stood up sharply, and glanced at the man in black.
The man in black gently opened the mechanism, and the stone door slowly parted to both sides.
The two spies were knocking, the stone next to them was moving slowly, the two looked at the faint light that came out, trembled violently, and shouted loudly into the distance, "Go back and report, there are people here..."
This was the last word they spoke, and after the man in black came out, he didn't say a word, but directly shattered the hearts of the two with his palm, and chased them in the direction they shouted.
Li Yilong returned to the Shadow Division and asked people to re-check all the information that Zhong Qing had sorted out five years ago, and all the places she had been to and the people she might have seen were checked.
After everything was explained, he continued to ask Wu Qing about the Thousand Machine Pavilion with Zhou Yi in the hall.
At this moment, two spies ran in in a panic, "First... Lord Chief, West... A new secret room has been discovered on the outskirts of Xicheng, and the other brothers who searched for it have been killed! ”
"What?! Lead the way, everyone follow me! When Li Yilong heard the report, he immediately got up, grabbed the arm of a spy and flew in the direction of Xicheng.
Zhou Yi also immediately asked someone to follow, Wu Qing thought about it and followed.
Li Yilong followed the direction of the secret spy and found four dead colleagues along the way, but he didn't stop at all, holding the dragon knife in one hand and the spy in the other, and rushed directly to the direction of the secret room.
Far away, seeing the fire in the distance, Li Yilong put down the spy in his hand and galloped over lightly with a knife.
Falling in front of the door of the secret room and looking at the raging flames inside, Li Yilong squatted down and checked the body of the dead spy.
The heart veins were completely shattered, which is not something that ordinary people can do, at least Zhong Qing definitely does not have this skill.
When Zhou Yi and the others arrived, everyone looked at the flames inside, and they couldn't enter it for a short time, and they didn't have to think about it, it must have been completely destroyed.
Li Yilong was very unwilling to let this new clue be cut off, "Go and check, no one can miss the list of people entering and leaving each city gate in the future, remember it's anyone!" ”
