In a tavern, Luo Xing made an appointment to meet Song Yi.

"Fox Seventeen, what do you mean, the last time it disappeared was a month, and this time it was more than half a month, did you take our mission seriously?" Song Yi was extremely angry, if it weren't for Nanya's discipline, he couldn't contact other people in Nanya without authorization.

Unless it's a particularly urgent situation, which is basically a mission failure.

If you fail the mission, you will have to deduct merit points, and even if it is finally determined that it is not your fault, the promotion will be affected.

This is something that Song Yi can't accept, so even if he is in a hurry, he is anxious to get a villain for Luo Xing every day, and he can endure it.

"Brother Song, don't get excited, sit down and say it well, I didn't mean to do it this time, I didn't send you a message, saying that something went out, and I will contact you later!" Luo Xing smiled and comforted Song Yi.

"You didn't say where to go, how long to go!"

"I can't say this, you know, Nanya rules, what you can say, I will naturally tell you, what you can't say, I can't say either."

"So what can you say now?"

"Yes, I went to Lingzhou and just came back."

"Shouldn't you go to Heavenly Wolf Pass with the team to welcome the four princes of Xirong to Luojing?" Song Yi was surprised.

"Yes, I can't explain it to you for a temporary and sudden mission." Luo Xing smiled, I can't say, I'm the greeting envoy, right?

You didn't ask anyway, and he didn't answer wrong.

"I have a new situation here, that is, the primary election of the post-flower conference, and the rain eyebrows have passed." Song Yi said angrily.

"With the appearance of the rain eyebrows, the talent, shouldn't there be no problem in passing the primary?" Luo Xing is not surprised, the primary selection is to screen out some people who do not meet the standards, although he has never seen Yumei's talent, but from the night incense, how bad can it be?

As for the appearance, Yumei is also in the middle and upper posture, after the selection of flowers, she definitely has no chance, it is not difficult to pass the primary election, unless the qualifications of the candidates for this session of flowers are generally very high.

"Generally, there are about 1,000 people in the primary election after flowers, and this year's session has reached 3,000 people, which can be said to be a real 3,000 beauties!" Song Yi said, "Of the three thousand, only one hundred people were shortlisted in the end, and this year's rules are different from previous years. ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Xing was a little puzzled, he didn't pay much attention to the post-flower conference, after all, his energy was limited, but the post-flower conference was indeed a triennial event in Luojing, in this world where there was not much entertainment, how much consumption could be stimulated by holding such a grand beauty contest, how much tax could the imperial court collect, and how much money could be made from it.

How many people are staring at this piece of fat after the flower, how much business is there.

Even if you dip a little light and drink some soup and water, you can still make a lot of money.

"There is gossip in the palace that if a group of young palace maids are selected to enter the palace, they will be selected from the shortlist of this flower queen conference."

"Who said that?" Luo Xing was surprised, how to choose from the women in the palace draft, even if they are all Qingqi people and Yunying virgins, but their identities are too complicated, once they are selected into the palace, won't it bring hidden dangers to the safety of the palace?

Even if you are selected after doing a background adjustment, it is also a high risk, and Emperor Yongxi is not an unscrupulous emperor, how can he have such an idea.

This is clearly a rumor.

"I don't know, it was Yumei who told me, this news has been widely circulated among those of them who participated in the primary, and almost everyone has heard of it." Song Yi said.

"Is there an innocent woman who participated in the Flower Queen Conference this time?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them, although the Flower Queen's Conference was initiated from Fengyue's place, but in fact, every session has a woman with a clean family background to participate, once such a woman wins the ranking in the Flower Queen's Conference, the value will be different, at least there are more and better choices in marrying and choosing a husband." Song Yi said.

"How many innocent women participated in the Flower Queen Conference this year?"

"I don't know about this, to participate in the Flower Queen's Conference, at least you have to have a certain appearance, and you have to pass the talent, otherwise, you won't even be able to pass the primary election." Song Yi said, "The primary selection is held by the Department of Education and the Department of Teaching and Evening Fragrance and the four famous buildings of Changle Fang, Xinghua Building, Lianyue Building, Qiong Building and Tianxiang Building, and the final will be held in Haitian Pavilion. ”

"Where's Hualiu Street?"

"The women of Hualiu Street and those with innocent family backgrounds can sign up for the four famous buildings or the teaching department and the night primary, participate in the primary selection, and after passing the primary selection to qualify, they will enter the knockout system, but this year there are too many people, so the written test of calligraphy, painting and poetry is increased."

"How do you compare it to usual?"

"In the past, it was more than singing, dancing and instrumental music, the principle of five into one, this year increased the competition items, the participating women can choose two, a total of five, according to the principle of ten into three, divided into three rounds of competition, the first two rounds of grouping, and finally left about 300 people, the last round of three into one, take the top 100 people, this hundred people will have a ranking, and then wait for next year's big competition, and then decide the top ten and the leader, the list of eyes and flowers." Song Yi explained.

"These last 100 people are equivalent to winning the Jinshi in the scientific examination, right?"

"That's pretty much it."

"The year of this post-flower conference is the year of Dabi, right?"

"Yes, in the year of Dabi, all over the capital gathered, young people, strong blood, the most like to chase young and beautiful women, every time the year of Dabi, there will be a variety of love stories flowing out, adding a lot of talk to the people after dinner, very lively."

"Such a large-scale population movement, I'm afraid it also gives people with intentions an opportunity to take advantage of, such a stranger enters the capital, and exchanges it for spies or people with ulterior motives in the enemy country, I'm afraid it's difficult to find out, right?" Luo Xing Road.

Song Yi nodded, during the post-flower conference, it is also the period of high incidence of public security cases in the capital, and the Jing'an Division of the Southern Ya also has to cooperate with the Inspection Department to do a good job of maintaining public security in the capital.

"Our Nanya will also arrange a lot of eyeliner to enter the fourth building every year, right?"

"Well, yes, it's quite a bit, this work used to be in charge of the wind department, and the wind department's eyeliner is all over Luojing ......"

Speaking unintentionally, listening to intentionality, Luo Xing thought that Nanchu Neiwei actually infiltrated Luojing, and Nan Ya didn't have any news, so he felt that there was a problem.

Although the intelligence organization of Jinling Nanya in Southern Chu is in charge of the Intelligence Department, the secret spies sent by the Intelligence Department to Southern Chu are all from the Wind Department.

The water in Jinling is too deep, and besides, it is thousands of miles away, even if he wants to investigate, he can't do it at present.

"Brother Song, can you get the roster of flower girls in the primary election?" Luo Xing asked.

"This is not difficult, this roster is sold on all floors, the price is clearly marked, and the information is updated in real time, there are a lot of businesses derived from the post-flower conference, these girls in order to be selected and enter the next round, desperately show themselves and increase exposure, during this period of time, according to the various poetry meetings around the post-flower conference in Luojing City, the talent show is endless, anyway, it is quite lively, especially two months before and after the year, the curfew time in Luojing was postponed for an hour, and in the evening, the street was full of people, It's very lively. Song Yi said brightly.

Luo Xing didn't pay attention to this, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"Have you found out the purpose of Miss Yumei's participation in the Flower Queen Conference?" Luo Xing asked, "Also, the list in her hand, have you seen it, and whether it exists?" ”

"At present, she wants to fight for a good ranking in the Flower Queen Conference."

"Will she want to enter the palace?"

"Entering the palace, but she is a singer from Yangzhou, her heels are not clear, and she can't pass the background check at all, even if the rumors are true, how can she have a chance?" Song Yi said.

"Whether she is Ding Xian's own sister or not, it is still unknown, but Ding Xian is dead, it is almost impossible for her to take revenge alone, it is the phantom of Xirong Puppet Hall who killed Ding Xian, a great grandmaster, if it is for herself, it is credible to fight for a future, after all, with her appearance, it is not difficult to marry a lover to live." Luo Xing said, "Not to mention, she still has such a list hidden on her body, which is responsible, and the people on the list either don't know, if they know, they will definitely kill her, and she needs to find an umbrella for herself." ”

"Then why didn't she go directly to Nanya, she had Nanya to protect ......"

"It means that there are people from Nanya on the list."

"After the city of Yangzhou was broken, the organization of Nanya in Yangzhou was basically destroyed, Yangzhou Station was a high match, by a commander, two directors and four Lang generals, each responsible for a piece, when the city was broken, the commander Wang Qin was killed in battle, one of the two directors was missing, the other was seriously injured, fled to Ningzhou, one of the four Lang generals was killed, one was captured, and the remaining two people, one is missing, one is disabled, as for the following captains, Du Wei, currently not wanted, some are killed in battle, some are missing, and some are still in Yangzhou."

"After the city is broken, there are no people left in Yangzhou?"

"Yes, there is only one captain named Ning Yurou left, and a school of people under her command, lurking down to wait for the opportunity."

"Female?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Song Yi's face: "Captain Ning disguised her special identity, and her identity was only known to Director Zhuge who fled to Ningzhou, except for Lord Wang, so he was left behind, and the rest of the people either broke into pieces and found a way to leave by themselves, or fled with the defeated team." ”

"Although Yangzhou City is not an impregnable wall, it will not be breached after less than three days, there must be something wrong with this, and the director of Zhuge didn't hand over the report afterwards?"

"It was too chaotic at that time, the army of Southern Chu broke through from the West Gate Waterway for some reason, in a hurry, everyone only cared about themselves, Lord Shi was called to the Assassin Mansion to discuss matters, and then did not come out again, after the city was broken, the brothers saw that Lord Shi's head was cut off, and was picked up by the Southern Chu cavalry on the flagpole to show the public, in order to deter the people in the city." Song Yi said.

"If something happens in Jinling, Yangzhou can't be safe and sound, maybe Nanchu has already mastered the list of personnel in Yangzhou Nanya, or rather, there are ghosts inside Yangzhou Nanya, and Jinling is connected."

"It is possible that the Ximen Waterway is the weak point of Yangzhou City's defense, when the sailor was in the past, this weakness was not obvious, after the defeat of the sailor, this weakness was not strengthened, but when the city was broken, the officers and soldiers of the guard over there were temporarily transferred to other positions to deploy defense, isn't this a strange thing?" Song Yi still knows a lot about the breaking of Yangzhou City, but he is restricted by his identity and the investigation cannot be comprehensive, but when Yangzhou City is broken, many strange things happen frequently.

Obviously, the destruction of Yangzhou City is not because it is impossible to defend the city, but because there are people who collaborate with the enemy, or even more than one person, which is a complete man-made disaster.

"Brother Song, have you ever submitted an investigation report on the destruction of Yangzhou City?"

"Submitted, but, at your level, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it." Song Yi still doesn't know Luo Xing's true identity, "Fox Seventeen" is just a small shrimp, and only when he reaches a certain level, will the secret spy after becoming a regular have an official name.

As for why Luo Xing is so beautiful in the ghost city, it is estimated that he has some special background, Song Yi thought......

"Oh, I know, then you are in such a hurry, so you gave me this bit of information, go back, how can I report to the Metropolitan Governor?"

"I found out that the Nanchu internal guard is active in Luojing!"

"What?" Luo Xing was taken aback, Nanchu Neiwei appeared in Luojing, and he also learned the news from Ye Liuli's mouth, how could Song Yi actually know.

"This person is in the Qujiang Guild Hall, he arrived a few days later than me, he went out early and returned late, I have been to Yangzhou, although his Da Zhou official dialect is very good, but I can still hear a little Jinling accent." Song Yi explained, "He is a bookseller, this time he came to Luojing to collect some strange things, strange romances and other books after reprinting and publishing, and then take them to other places to buy, especially when Dabi is coming, the poems and songs and articles of the talented people are printed into a book, which can be sold at a good price, so he mingles with those literati who come to Beijing to participate in Dabi all day long, but I found that he is very interested in the private life of my minister of the court, and secretly recorded a book of various secrets, this guy never goes to the bathhouse, Bathing and bathing in his own room, I think there will be some secrets, once, he bathed in the room, I secretly took a look, and found that the position of his waist and hip bones, there is a tattoo of plum blossoms, men tattoos are not uncommon, but a big man tattoo what plum blossoms, and then I thought about it, this is the sign of the plum blossom guard of Nanchu! ”

"Brother Song, you have nothing to do to peek at men taking a bath, this fetish is not good!" Luo Xing smiled, I have to say that Song Yi's discovery was a bit accidental, but if it weren't for his careful observation of the people and things around him, I am afraid that he would not have found it.

This is also an inevitability of chance.

"Fox Seventeen, I'm not kidding you, if this is really Nanchu Neiwei, and suddenly appears in Luojing, there must be a conspiracy!"

"Do you see clearly, how many plum blossoms?"

"One."

"A plum blossom is the lowest level in Nanchu's internal guard, and it usually collects public information and transmits news, and it can't master the core secrets."

"I know, there is a plum blossom sign of the inner guard, then there are two, three, otherwise what is a person doing here?" Song Yi said.

"So have you followed him and found his upline?" Luo Xing asked.

"Well, he likes flower arrangement, and he also buys some aromatherapy, often goes to a flower arrangement shop, and is very familiar with the proprietress very well." Song Yi said, "A big man is really. ”

"Flower arrangement?" Luo Xing didn't come to his heart, and he had a hint of a bad premonition.
