Chapter 169: A Shocking Secret

Xiao Dongzi is a person who worships heroes very much, and he was so close to Mo Cong with Mo Xiao's light that he was so happy, and when he heard the news that the emperor wanted to marry Mo Cong, he was even more moved by the story of this kind of hero and beauty, but Mo Cong had to follow Mo Xiao to the vegetable market at his own price, this kind of blasphemy against heroes is absolutely intolerable to Xiao Dongzi, he said words in his mouth, stopped his waist and hugged Mo Cong, but he didn't let him go.

Hearing Xiao Dongzi's words, Mo Cong and Mo Xiao glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes. As Lingyun Mountain people, they don't want to have too much to do with the Rui royal family, and a Lingyun Mountain disciple is the concubine of the Rui Kingdom, which is something that has never happened in the history of the low-key sect of Lingyun Mountain, and it is also something that the old man will never allow to happen.

"Okay, then I'm not going, I'll go see General Chen. Mo Cong gently broke away from Xiao Dongzi and asked Mo Xiao to pick vegetables by himself, and he was going to discuss this matter urgently with Chen Ruoping.

Hurriedly walked to the door of the Chen Mansion, Mo Cong knocked on the knocker, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Zhu, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, came out.

"Is Brother Chen here?" Mo Cong looked at Chen Zhu with a smile, and he didn't know if Chen Zhu knew that Chen Ruoping was a girl.

"Our young master... Early in the morning, I went to the court. Chen Zhu said.

"Shang Dynasty?" Mo Cong heard of this kind of thing for the first time, and he had the impression that Chen Ruoping was either in the military camp or at home, but he didn't expect to participate in such a noble activity as Shang Chao. "Then when will she come back?" Mo Cong thought for a moment and asked.

"This... It's hard to say. Chen Zhu said: "General Mo hasn't heard of the book, there is a book in the morning, there is no book to retreat from the court, if there are more things, it will be later, and if there are fewer things, it will be early, but our young master may not be able to come back immediately after retiring from the court, and he may still work in the Yamen, the commander of the Central Army, and deal with many things." ”

"Is it so troublesome?" Mo Cong didn't expect Chen Ruoping to be busy with so many things, and he didn't know what to do for a while, he was used to seeing Chen Ruoping when he was at the Giant Spirit Pass, but he didn't expect it to be like this after returning to Beijing. "Do you know where the mansion of Commander Yan Tao and Yan is?" Mo Cong thought for a moment and asked.

"I know this, if General Mo wants to go, the small one can lead the way. Chen Zhu said.

"Okay, then you come with me, go to my place and ride a horse with you. Mo Cong said and turned around to leave.

"General Mo, there are horses in our house, I'll just take them out. Chen Zhu saw that Mo Cong was in a hurry, so he turned around and went back to lead the horse.

The effort was not great, Chen Zhu led two horses out, and the two rode away on the horses.

"General Mo, it's the first time you've visited the Yan Mansion, should we bring something?" Chen Zhu reminded in a low voice when he saw that Mo Cong was only in a hurry.

"This ......" Mo Cong was embarrassed, "Steward Chen, I left in too much hurry and didn't bring any silver with me." ”

"It's okay, I'll take it with me, General Mo can buy whatever he wants. Chen Zhu said.

"You're really careful as a housekeeper, thank you. Mo Cong smiled.

"General Mo doesn't need to thank me, you just... As long as we are kind to our young master. Chen Zhu whispered.

"What?" Mo Cong grabbed the horse's head with one hand and looked at Chen Zhu carefully. "You... You wouldn't be a girl too, would you?" he asked in a whispered disbelief. Since Chen Ruoping told Chen Zhu about such a private matter, Chen Zhu's identity is very suspicious, otherwise the relationship between a girl and her male butler will not be good enough to be so good.

"General Mo's guess is good, but many things are not easy to say here, so I'll talk to General Mo slowly when I have time. Chen Zhu grabbed the horse's head and said without changing his face, and he didn't look at Mo Cong.

"Okay. Mo Cong also felt that the street was not a place to talk, and even if he could, he might not be willing to answer.

The two bought some gifts nearby, got back on their horses, and galloped all the way to the Yan Mansion. When he arrived at the place, Mo Cong suddenly remembered, "Won't Commander Yan also go to the court?" he looked at Chen Zhu and said.

"Wouldn't you know?" Chen Zhu turned over and dismounted, knocking lightly on the door knocker of Yanfu.

The work was not large, and the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion came out and saw the two of them, but they didn't know each other. Mo Cong looked at his surprised look, and hurriedly reported his identity and asked if Yan Tao was there.

"Our master is here, those two please come in!" The housekeeper of the Yan Mansion had already heard about Mo Cong's affairs, and when he heard that it was Mo Cong, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed the people.

"General Mo, I won't go in, you have time to go around our mansion. Chen Zhu said and jumped on the horse's back and walked away.

"General Mo, who was that just now?" asked the butler of the Yan Mansion hesitantly.

"That's the housekeeper in Commander Chen's mansion, what's the matter, you are all housekeepers, but you don't know each other?" Mo Cong said casually and walked inside.

"General Mo said with a smile, we are just in charge of the affairs of our own mansion, how can we pay attention to the housekeepers of other adults' mansions. The butler of the Yan Mansion said with a smile as he led the way.

"That's right. Mo Cong smiled.

The two came to the living room of the Yan Mansion while talking, and the housekeeper asked Mo Cong to wait a while and report it himself. Yan Tao's study is not accessible to everyone, even the people of the Yan Mansion cannot enter casually, and the housekeeper knows this rule very well.

With little effort, Yan Tao came to the living room and invited Mo Cong to his study. Entering the study and seeing the rows of tall bookshelves and all kinds of books, Mo Cong was a little shocked.

"Don't care, you came to me, what's the matter?" Yan Tao is a smart and refined character, seeing that Mo Cong came uninvited, he didn't want to go around in any circle, so he asked directly.

"There are two things, maybe three. Mo Cong saw him so direct, and he didn't want to go around the bend. Since the other party is so smart, he has long expected his intentions, and if he hides it again, he can only fool himself.

"I can say two things, but I can't say three. Yan Tao said with a smile.

"It's not that you don't know, that's fine. Mo Cong also smiled.

"Okay, if only you could understand. Yan Tao laughed.

"Does the emperor know?" Mo Cong thought for a moment and asked.

"I definitely don't know, otherwise how would he consider marrying the Seventh Princess to you. Yan Tao said.

"Then why do you know?" asked Mo Cong.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Yan Tao said without leaking.

"Commander Yan, I think the things in the corners can be properly revealed, otherwise we will be completely kept in the dark like fools, do you think it's fun?" Mo Cong frowned.

"What I'm saying is true. Yan Tao said, "The intelligence department of the Swiss country, and even the country itself, was originally established with your support, and all kinds of methods of collecting intelligence and transmitting intelligence in the country of the country, including cutting code words, all came from you. ”

"Is that so?" Mo Cong smiled, "Then you... Or are you serving the Ruiguo or the Ruiguo court?" he asked bluntly.

"There are many things that the emperor doesn't know, of course, for the country of Rui. Yan Tao said.

"That's good. Mo Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a feeling that he had finally found an organization. He has always felt that Lingyun Mountain is scarce and weak, both manpower and ears and eyes are very scarce, and such a big Rui country really doesn't know how to protect it, but when he hears this, his heart is a lot more steady. "Then the origin of my identity was investigated last time, and you did it?" he asked, thinking for a moment.

"Not really. Yan Tao shook his head, "Your sphere of influence originally covered Montenegro, but it only slowly shrank later. The main peak of Montenegro was originally called Black Dragon Peak, which is the place where your ancestors lived, and those thatched huts and things are real, but the handwriting in the stone cave is fake. ”

"So, Ruiguo now has two intelligence systems?" Mo Cong thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, but many things are accumulated for thousands of years, and it is impossible to learn so easily, and that intelligence system has only been established for more than a year, and it has not been able to take shape so quickly. Yan Tao said.

"Won't anyone leak your line?" asked Mo Cong.

"It was precisely because someone leaked secrets that it directly led to the establishment of that system, but the problem was not big and it was solved. Yan Tao said quietly.

"Then does the emperor suspect you, I came to you, is there a problem?" Mo Cong asked.

"No, the so-called leak is just a technical leak, not what you think. Yan Tao said, "As for whether the emperor has any doubts, the emperor actually does not have absolute trust in anyone, which is why it is necessary to build another intelligence system outside the intelligence department." ”

Mo Cong asked a lot of questions, Yan Tao answered them one by one, and many mysteries that he couldn't figure out before were all resolved, so that Mo Cong had a sense of openness to see the sunrise through the clouds. The two kept talking about noon, but Mo Cong didn't think anything about it, but Yan Tao was hungry, so he went out to eat. Seeing that the maid rings on Yan Tao's mansion were all ordinary maid rings, Mo Cong couldn't help but take a few more looks, and saw that those maid rings were flushed.
