Yang Zhi was right, if the Liao State was sure that all the people had been arrested, then no one would be sent to Liaoyang, and it would be a big deal to activate some people who were still dormant. Liaoyang was originally the Tokyo of Liao, one of the five major capitals, and the Jin State had only occupied it for a few years, so it can be said that there were many people in Liaoyang City who were willing to serve the Liao State, and they could not catch it all; but now there is no news, so it gives the Liao people a little hope, just like Xilong now, with a fluke mentality, he wants to send someone to see what is going on.

Although Xilong's face was not good-looking, he still smiled reluctantly: "It's just a matter of doing your best." Yang Zhi, you have two tasks, one is to see what is going on, and the other is to re-establish Liaoyang's intelligence network; when you arrive in Liaoyang, you can go to Dongping Pottery Workshop in Nanshi to find a person named Zhao Zhongda, and then you can ask Zhao Zhongda to cooperate with you if you want to pay money or forcibly find out the news. ”

Since the emergence of Sima Yi, there have been fewer and fewer people using Zhongda's name, not because they are shy about it, but because they are afraid that people will cause unnecessary associations because of the word Zhongda; as soon as Yang Zhi heard the name, he had no good impression of Zhao Zhongda. Yuan Di saw Xilong's gaze, smiled slightly and said: "Yang Zhi, there must be danger in this operation, so Xilong decided to let you have full control, who to bring and what materials you need, you just ask." ”

Yang Zhi drank tea slowly, without squeaking; Yuan Di and Xilong did not urge, they were also drinking tea slowly, Yang Zhi showed extremely high ability in Xianzhou and other places, if this kind of thing blurted out and agreed, it was not normal. After almost three people drank two bowls of tea, Yang Zhicai put down the tea bowl and said, "I need the help of Sha Jing and the others, except for Jizhou Pavilion, I can't let the other thirty-five pavilions know about this matter, and I need six hundred taels of gold to purchase materials and pretend to be a caravan." ”

Xilong clapped his hands and said, "No problem, when will you leave?"

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "The soldiers are very fast, if you bring the gold and maps overnight, you will set off early tomorrow morning, go to Jizhou to purchase supplies, and take a detour." However, the day after tomorrow when the restaurant opened, I was not there, and I hope that the two of you will come to support it; we will unify the caliber, and when outsiders ask, they will say that I have gone to Baozhou and other places to track down Zhang San. ”

Xilong agreed, the map Yanyun Hall is there, and gold is not a problem, Xilong asked Yang Zhi and the two to wait for a while, and left in a hurry, and came back with six hundred taels of gold and the map in a short time; Yang Zhi called Sha Jing in, and told the reason for the matter in front of Yuan Di and the others, and asked Sha Jing to inform Yan Changzhi and Kun Hanmeng to go to Baozhou to track down Zhang San's clues, and leave Lu Xiong to watch his house in Jizhou Pavilion. Yang Zhi and Sha Jing also announced that they were going to Baozhou, but in fact, only Hong Rirong took five people all the way to Baozhou, and Yang Zhi and Sha Jing went out of the city to Jizhou early in the morning with four personal soldiers.

Jizhou is the famous city of Yuyang in history, the place where An Lushan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi once had a poem: "Yuyang Yang came agitatedly, and broke the song of neon clothes and feathers." ”

Because there is a mountain called Yushan in the northwest of the city, the county seat is in the south of the mountain, so the name Yuyang in ancient times, Tang Kaiyuan 18 years to place Jizhou, until now has not changed, leading Yuyang, Sanhe, Yutian three counties, the governance is located in Yuyang County. Jizhou is also a prosperous city in Liaoguo, but Yang Zhi and others had no intention of wandering, bought a large amount of porcelain, cloth, tea, and horses in the market, rented six carts in the carriage and horse shop, and asked for a handlebar; Yang Zhi and Sha Jing acted alone, exchanged the unused gold for 3,000 taels of silver tickets, and the group left the east gate of Jizhou and headed for Liaoyang.

After walking less than ten miles, it was already dark, Yang Zhi let the convoy rest in a village and town on the side of the road, cook on the fire, eat and sleep, Yang Zhi checked the goods, returned to the room, spread out the map and said to Sha Jing: "You will start tomorrow, at this speed, thirty or forty miles a day, slowly advance, the most important thing is to keep the goods from being lost; it will take about five or six days until you arrive in Hanerzhuang, and when you arrive in Hanerzhuang, you will sell goods locally, and wait for me to come back." ”

As soon as Sha Jing heard it, he understood Yang Zhi's plan, the caravan was just a pretense to cover Yang Zhi to go to Liaoyang alone, and he couldn't help but grab Yang Zhi and said: "Liaoyang is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Xilong doesn't know the danger, it's just that he doesn't care about your life, Yang Zhi, it's better like this, I'll go to Hanerzhuang slowly, you take the opportunity to run." ”

Yang Zhi patted Sha Jing on the shoulder and said, "Where to run, I ran from the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom to take refuge, can I run back to the Great Song Dynasty again? Don't worry, I will definitely be able to come back from Liaoyang, but before I come back, you have to take care of the goods, and keep in touch with Youzhou through the post station; if I can't get out for ten days and half a month, Yanyun Hall will definitely send someone to ask, no matter what the reason, you don't go to Liaoyang. ”

Since the people of Yanyun Hall didn't care about Yang Zhi's life or death, they would definitely ask for a result, and even kept sending people to ask Sha Jing to find a way to contact Yang Zhi; Sha Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, the reason why you left alone is to give me a reason why I can't contact him." But Yang Zhi, what should I do if something really happens?"

Yang Zhiwang looked at the moon outside the window and said: "I don't know, but I know that only when we are all safe, we will not be taken advantage of, this kind of thing happened in Liaoyang, it is very likely that the news leaked out of the system of Yanyun Palace; We can't guarantee that we can hide our whereabouts when we move, so it's better not to move. ”

Yang Zhi believes that Sha Jing can understand himself, after working together for several months, he can see that Sha Jing has compassion, but he has more ideas from the superiors, he should be able to distinguish priorities, and he will not be impulsive when the time comes;

After the two discussed, Yang Zhi fell asleep on his head, there is something to do tomorrow, and maintaining physical strength is a key; after resting until the third watch, Yang Zhi got up and said goodbye to Shajing, quietly took out two horses, and rode east alone. Yang Zhi did not rush to the road, but rode up the high mountain and crossed a small mountain range in Huangya Mountain; Yang Zhi thought of countermeasures when he promised Xilong, entered Liaoyang as Lan Bin, and tried to find a way to inquire about the truth of the incident, as for the contact with Zhao Zhongda, Yang Zhi did not take it to heart, if Zhao Zhongda really had news, there would definitely be a way to pass it on to Xilong.
