The innkeeper, known as the "Old Six", was silent. Picking up the drawings in his arms, he turned around and left the secret room.

"Lao Liu" still vaguely remembers that his nickname is Guo Dabao, and he is a native of Guojiazhuang, Pingxiang County, Xiatao County. A few years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guojiazhuang suffered from a major drought and locust plague, and there was no harvest for three consecutive years, and he watched his parents eat Guanyin soil and finally died of abdominal distention, leaving only the ten-year-old he dragged his seven-year-old sister Guo Xiaocao.

Guo Dabao, who was so hungry that his eyes were dazzled and he was almost unable to walk, fiercely pulled out the Guanyin soil that his sister had stuffed into his mouth, and then crawled to the market town while moving, planted a few dead grasses on the top of his and his sister's heads, and then lay down on the side of the road dying and waiting for the final judgment of fate.

The ancients said: Those who help themselves will be helped. Guo Dabao and his sister Guo Xiaocao were very lucky to meet Zhao Xing, who was frowning all the way to the city, so the brother and sister were saved. Later, Guo Dabao and Guo Xiaocao, who came to Crouching Tiger City, were adopted by Zheng Bo, the kind-hearted old housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, and then the brother and sister quietly entered the Shadow Reserve.

"Lao Liu" has an official name, and this name is still taken by the current Taifu Zhao Xing himself, called Zheng Dongyun. The surname "Zheng" naturally follows Zheng Bo, the meaning of "Dongyun", according to Zhao Xing's explanation at the beginning, it means "the east is stormy, and heroes are born of my generation". There are no more than ten people who know Guo Dabao's official name, just like knowing that the name of the second prince Gongsun Gong in Xiangping City is called Zheng Caiyun, and there will be no more than ten.

Coincidentally, Zhao Hu just knew.

When Zhao Hu switched to the Shadow Reserve Team, he was over eighteen years old, and he was older than Zheng Dongyun and Zheng Caiyun, so he became the leader of their training team. There are a total of thirty people in a training team, and twenty people can finally pass Zhao Xing's assessment and enter the Shadow Force. Zhao Hu's own evaluation score was first, Zheng Dongyun ranked sixth, and Zheng Caiyun ranked nineteenth.

This is where the title "Old Six" comes from, as he ranked sixth in the graduation assessment of the training group. "Old Six" also likes Zhao Hutou to call him so, because it reminds him of the painful and happy good times when everyone trained together in the depths of Taihang Mountain. In Zheng Dongyun's view, all the hardships in the world are not as bitter as eating Guanyin soil, and the years of following the training of the leading brother are undoubtedly happy.

When the "leading brother" came up with all kinds of bizarre ways to test and torture these team members, they not only learned teamwork, understood mutual trust, but also cultivated a sturdy and healthy body, a smart and alert brain.

With a sturdy body and a precocious mind, Zheng Dongyun and Zheng Caiyun went all the way to the north, then turned east, and finally came to Xiangping in Liaodong. Zheng Dongyun relied on the secret support of the Jin Chamber of Commerce, and soon gained a firm foothold in Xiangping City, and his inn could get Changhe Daqu from Shangdang that other stores couldn't get, and some of the top Changhe Daqu was secretly supplied to the Zhengliao General's Mansion.

Since the opening of Dongyun Inn, it has already had a group of very loyal diners and guests, and Zheng Dongyun, the big shopkeeper who is only in his twenties, is a figure who can call the wind and rain in Xiangping City. Even if Guo Huai and Liao Hua, two foreign monks, could recite scriptures, they would not be crazy enough to suspect an innkeeper who entered Xiangping in his teens, worked hard step by step on his own, and now has an inextricable connection with Gongsun Du's mansion.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the "dark war" in the Northeast was destined to always have the upper hand in the "shadow" of the Jin Kingdom, even though Guo Huai and Liao Hua were two super capable figures, but it was still difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake.

After the "sixth child" left, Zhao Hu reprimanded several team members in the secret room: "Brothers, the limelight in Xiangping City has changed recently, and you must not take it lightly when you go out on a mission! I suspect that the Luoyang direction may have secretly sent a helper for Gongsun Du, so you must not capsize in the gutter! Like the kind of mistake we made in Chengdu last time, I hope this is the only time in this life!"

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, several team members were awe-inspired. They remembered the last time the captain was tortured alive for two days in the dungeon of the state governor's mansion to cover the safe evacuation of his teammates.

If, strictly speaking, the operation organized by Zhao Hu did not fail, it should be said that it was a considerable success. Although Zhao Hu was improvised, he did not directly kill Sima Fang, but poisoned him unconscious, but the political effect received was obviously better than directly stabbing Sima Fang to death. This operation not only perfectly cooperated with Jia Xu and Tian Feng's strategy of discord, forcing Sima Yi and Zhang Ren back without blood, but also easily exchanged for a Li Hui.

Afterwards, the Shadow Headquarters evaluated the operation that Zhao Hu was responsible for, and at first it only gave seven points, and the three points deducted were mainly because Zhao Hu temporarily changed his mind, but when he arrived at Zhao Xing, he gave Zhao Hu a rare ten points. Zhao Xing wrote this comment on the title page of the action summary report: "Although it is not worth advocating for temporary change of action, the rare and valuable overall concept is enough to make up for this shortcoming!"

In the days without satellite communications and mobile phones, the transmission of information was slow and miserable. If you are the person in charge of a region, you will only focus on your own region, and many times you will do things that are not the same. Zhao Xing believed that the first quality that the person in charge of the task should have was the overall concept, so he once again appointed Zhao Hu as the person in charge of the shadow in the northeast region to shoulder a more onerous and arduous task.

Although Zhao Xing once gave himself a ten, Zhao Hu himself has always been dissatisfied with the last Chengdu operation. He often said to himself in his heart: If he had calmed down in the last few days, thought more long-term and thoughtfully, and would not have put himself in it. It's a trivial matter to put yourself in, and if you don't hold the other party's torture at that time, the damage to the shadow will be fatal.

Before coming to the Northeast, Zhao Hu secretly swore in his heart that he would never make a mistake similar to the last time in this life, and would not let other people's torture instruments touch his body again. If he can't, then he doesn't mind pulling off a "glorious bullet" and keeping the Shadow's secrets in another world.

After a meeting with several team members, Zhao Hu explained the next specific tasks for everyone, and then became a wealthy leather dealer owner, and continued to "drink flower wine" in his guest room in the cold and windy early spring.

How much Zhao Hu hopes that someone can doubt himself, as long as someone doubts his identity as Liu Jili's own clan, he will secretly send someone to visit Jizhou Zhongshan. At that time, the few brothers lurking in Liujiazhuang will have something to do!
