Chapter 106: Lurking
Shandong, less than thirty, no fame is just a living being... It should be that Ji Gang, yes.
At this time, he should indeed be so down, mixed in Jinling City, and then couldn't go back to his hometown, and finally met the noble man he hit...
However, he was very vigilant, and when he saw Gu Huai turn around and sit down, the previous free and uninhibited was swept away, and there was no loophole in his words.
Sure enough, he was a natural spy.
It's just that this way it's not good to close the distance... In the end, they just got acquainted with each other's names and surnames, and chatted about some ups and downs, so that they could have some friendship when they met again in the future.
Thinking of Gu Huai, who had just walked out of the city gate here, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if he could pull this person into the gang, the situation in Jinling City would be much better.
The night has completely fallen, and the city gate of Jinling has slammed shut behind him, and it will only be reopened tomorrow morning, Gu Huai sped up the speed of the horse, and the rain on his face not only did not hurt but also had a cool feeling.
Not long after walking along the official road, I saw a roadside inn, there are many such inns outside Jinling City, most of them are provided to those passers-by who have not had time to enter the city, Gu Huai handed over the horse to the small maid, and just entered the inn and noticed the vernal equinox and Qingming at the corner table.
Wei Laosan at the counter was still yelling for wine, and he didn't notice that Gu Huai had arrived at the inn, Gu Huai didn't bother to care about him, walked to the table and sat down, stopping the two of them from trying to stand up.
"Is anyone following?"
"Absolutely not," Equinox shook his head, "after the docks parted, I waited in a circle, and was half a mile behind, and even if anyone noticed the carriage leaving, it would be impossible to keep up." ”
"Do you know why you are separated from the royal guards?"
Equinox Qingming glanced at each other and shook his head.
Actually, they also have some doubts... Both of them were soldiers before, although one was born as a scout and the other was born as a charlatan, but they both climbed to the secret spy division step by step in the army, and they were used to group action, and now the chief officer took the four of them south, and deliberately separated them from the palace guards...
On the side, Wei Laosan's voice came again... No, it was to bring five spies south.
The corners of Gu Huai's eyes twitched: "Because from today on, your previous style of acting is useless, and you are the first batch of secret spies hidden in Jinling." ”
Lurking?
"I walked around Jinling City and found a few places," Gu Huai dipped some tea and drew on the table, "Beiping and Jinling want to pull up an intelligence line, you can't go to the official post, I'll figure out a way, the four of you want to set up an intelligence station in Jinling, no matter what happens in Jinling, you must send it back to Beiping as soon as possible." ”
He paused: "Of course, contacting some DPRK and Chinese officials or assassinations and the like also needs you to do it... But don't worry, there will be no mortal missions. ”
There was not much fear in the eyes of the spring equinox Qingming, which made Gu Huai very satisfied, and they didn't ask if there was any need to do so, because the day they became spies... They were ready to die.
Whether or not to be a spy is one thing, and whether or not you have this kind of consciousness is another.
"You can't communicate with each other, all the spy reports will be handed over to the sting, I will let him set up a stronghold outside the city, and send him back to Beiping by the way of carriage, if something happens... You can try to see if you can get out of the city. ”
"I don't need to say more about what kind of place Qinglou is, men always can't keep their mouths shut in front of beautiful women," Gu Huai said a cold joke, "You go to Qinhuai River on the spring equinox, and you can keep an eye on the officials and literati." ”
"Yes, Lord Chief."
"People are born, old, sick and die, the most important thing in the market is food and medical care, since you have sold fake medicines, you will open a pharmacy in Jinling City, and the people who see a doctor will always say something sincere to the doctor, understand?"
"Yes."
"There's also rain..."Gu Huai rubbed his eyebrows, "let him sneak into the docks outside the city to see if he can get in touch with the local big businessmen." ”
Seeing that both of them nodded, Gu Huai hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something more encouraging, after all, it may be difficult to meet again after saying goodbye today... Wei Laosan over there made trouble again.
Gu Huai, who laughed angrily, shook his hand and got up and went up the stairs: "Go and tell that guy that if the trouble reveals his identity, I will send him to the palace!" ”
Wei Laosan's shouting in front of the counter stopped, and he shivered smartly.
Why is it a little cold under the crotch?
......
There are naturally many rooms in the inn, but there is only one Tianzi room, go up the stairs to the second floor, Gu Huai glanced at the room at the end, hesitated for a moment or went over and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"Me."
The door opened, and Tsundere Lori poked out half of her little face, and her voice was a little muffled: "Why did you come..."
"Some things are delayed, otherwise I should go out of the city during the day," Gu Huai walked into the house, "Are you homesick?" ”
Tsundere Lori walked to the table and sat down, continued to hold her cheeks and looked out the window, pursed her lips slightly, and there was some sadness between her eyebrows: "I miss the third brother a little." ”
Gu Huai's heart beat faster: "Or... Looking into the city? ”
Yes, if you go in, you won't be able to get out, and you won't have to risk abducting and selling the county lord at that time, and you can go back to explain to the princess...
Tsundere Lori shook her head: "I don't want to go back and get married." ”
The candlelight turned her side face into a silhouette, every angle was so beautiful, and the long eyelashes occasionally fluttered as if cutting off the spring breeze, which was extremely exciting.
It's just that Gu Huai didn't have the heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery at the moment, because Tsundere Lori asked a question: "Is my brother-in-law really going to rebel?" ”
Gu Huai was silent and did not answer.
She continued to ask, "Is it right or wrong for the imperial court to cut the feudal domain?" If... If my eldest brother and brother-in-law turn against each other, which side should I be on? ”
It's a harder question than the one just now... Gu Huai only feels that he owes a little now, how good is it to go back to the house and sleep? Why do you have to get up and be asked such a difficult question yourself?
Tsundere Lori sighed softly, "I knew you wouldn't answer." ”
She looked out the window: "I'm like a burden, I will cause trouble to my sister and brother-in-law in Beiping, and when I go back to Jinling, I will be married off by my eldest brother..."
"Don't think too much, things in the world are very complicated, not black and white," Gu Huai comforted, "The county lord is not a burden, but the fate of the daughter's family in this era is usually involuntary." ”
"Maybe... When are we going to your house? ”
Gu Huai had a headache: "Tomorrow the prince will go to face the saint, if nothing happens, we can go, but the prince has approved me for some leave... But it will definitely not stay long, there are still a lot of things to do in Jinling, and I will return to Beiping soon. ”
Tsundere Lori said quietly: "Wait until you go back to Beiping... I won't go back to the palace, my eldest brother may hate my brother-in-law because of my affairs, and if my brother-in-law really wants to... At that time, it will also affect the Xu family. ”
Gu Huai nodded happily: "The county lord has grown up." ”
"If that's growing up, I'd rather never grow up."
Tsundere Lori smiled and sighed softly, she really had the appearance of her daughter's home.
Gu Huai, who was about to get up, was originally a little pleased with the growth of Tsundere Lori, but soon felt that something was wrong.
Wait, if she goes back to Beiping, she won't go back to the palace... Where did she go?
Won't you go to your own house again?
Is this what it means to catch a sheep?
