The dark tide in the rivers and lakes did not stop for a moment because the end of the year had arrived, but only increased like the flow of people shopping for New Year's goods in the market and the frequent sound of firecrackers in every household.

In the past few days, a number of newspapers have been sent from the Great Xia court to various parts of Great Xia. The most mentioned in the newspaper is Yin Xun. In the past few days, the spies sent by the major forces in Yin Xunzhou have been busier than the New Year, and the morning newspaper has not yet left the city, and the letters in the evening have been taken from their desks.

Each faction has a slightly different division of the transmission of information and the prioritization of the information itself. Generally speaking, the transmission of various types of espionage will be carried out in the form of people or carrier pigeons according to the importance and urgency of their contents, and some powerful forces with profound backgrounds will specially raise and train other birds and beasts, among which the most precious and famous is the blue bird known as the emerald note.

There are also special forces in the rivers and lakes who make a living by collecting secret information from all over the world, and compiling it into a book and selling it to various places on a regular basis. Those warriors who have been traveling abroad for a long time in the mountains and fields or in the big forces and cannot get the care of the sect are willing to go to the local bookstores that specialize in selling espionage when they go everywhere, and buy the information content they need according to their own needs and the amount of yuan in their pockets. In addition, those power sects that cannot afford to cultivate their own spies are also willing to spend some yuan to regularly obtain and revise the Di Bao from these forces that make a living by selling intelligence.

It's just that the content of the information that the martial artists and the sect forces want to grasp is slightly different. The former mostly buys some content about local customs, the division of local forces, and their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is some well-known information, so as to weigh whether you are a low-key person with your tail between your legs, or you can run rampant, or you can not provoke certain forces, but you can pick some soft persimmons and pinch them.

However, most of the sect forces are concerned about the recent situation of other forces that are not much different from their own strength. The sect that is both a third-rate force and oneself will be considered a third-rate force, will the entire sect be among the second-rate because there is one more person in the middle martial realm to worship, or if someone in the sect breaks through the shackles, will the entire sect be among the second-rate, will the juniors of another sect who have a dispute with the descendants of their own sect who have high hopes for the great avenue and luck, or whether they will leave the mountains to travel in search of an opportunity to break through, if the latter will have the opportunity to clear the obstacles on the way to cultivation for the juniors of their own sect, etc. Of course, in addition to these, the editors of these newspapers do not know for what purpose, they will always write about the shady things in many forces, such as which sect's head of the sect was cuckolded by his own disciples, which family's head was picked up again, which two hostile forces that were originally incompatible with each other broke their shoes, and so on. These are the hottest sellers.

It's just that no matter what kind of newspaper you can't see the secrets and scandals of the top family forces. Let's not talk about whether these intelligence-gathering forces really have the ability to grasp these heavenly affairs, even if they really know one or two, they will only close the doors and windows of the study in the middle of the night, and if they secretly see it, they will rot in their stomachs, if they really dare to make it public, or even make a profit from it, I am afraid that the money in their hands will become a mass grave before the entire sect is hot.

Among the things mentioned in the Di newspaper, there are details of the dispute between Yunyu in the tomb, but there is no analysis and judgment on this matter, after all, no one dares to comment blatantly on the rights and wrongs of these two forces. In addition, the golden rain falling at night in Yin Xunzhou is also impressive, but the reason for this matter is not mentioned, only that there is a vision in the sky, and there should be a Ruixiang brush. The other two things only appear in the information transmitted by the spies who belong to the top tycoon forces.

In a mansion in Bokan Prefecture in northeastern China, where luxury is not inferior to that of the imperial palace, a middle-aged man in a purple python robe leaning on a soft couch with fur is flipping through several pages of letterhead paper in his hand. In front of the man, a Confucian in a yellow shirt stood respectfully. The man in the python robe put a few pages of paper in his hand on the table, "Xing'er did persuade Li Hanren of this sour stone, and I thought that the scholar had something to do, and it was not ......the same" The man in the python robe saw the embarrassed expression of the Confucian on the other side and knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said with a joke: "Li Hanren, a stubborn person who only knows how to read dead books, and claims to be a scholar, how can he be compared with a real scholar like Mr. Cao, who has a great talent for governing the world. “

The disgust in the heart of the yellow-shirted Confucian student flashed away and did not show the slightest expression in his expression, "The prince is serious. After the New Year, I asked the prince to marry the third son, and I began to prepare for the settlement of the Li family. Seeing the middle-aged man in the python robe nodding, the Confucian surnamed Cao continued: "If the prince wants to continue to humiliate the Yun family on this matter, Cao still has a plan. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the python robe sat up straight, "We have cut off the Yun family's left arm, can it be possible to cut off its right arm?"

"As far as I know, the pearl of Yunjin River and his righteous son will get married in the middle of autumn next year, which will be regarded as a major event in the Great Xia government and the rivers and lakes, and there will definitely be forces from all sides to congratulate them. If the prince also sets the wedding date of the third prince on the same day, and the third prince's marriage is a royal gift, the prince can send out invitations after His Majesty makes a decree. When Yunyin Mountain Villa is invited, even if the major family forces want to give him Yunjinhe face, they can only send some people of inferior status to watch the ceremony. And the daughter of the former minister of the Yun family and the third prince got married, wouldn't it be another slap in the face of Yunyin Villa?"

The viciousness in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the yellow shirt and the cruel smile on his face were undisguised, you Yunyin Villa said that I was not right, then I will let your Yun family suffer a hundred times more humiliation than me.

Looking at the look of the person in front of him, the disgust in the middle-aged heart of the python robe made him subconsciously frown, the person in front of him still claims to be a scholar, but he is a villain who will be revenged, and he will bite back like a mad dog if he is wronged.

"That golden rain and the sudden majestic cultural movement of Yin Xun Prefecture, but the person we are looking for did it?"

The middle-aged man in the yellow shirt returned to his usual expression and nodded, "It should be this person's handiwork." ”

The middle-aged man in the python robe sighed, "We have been looking for ten years, but we are really in Yin Xun Prefecture." Yunyin Mountain Villa has been a turtle with a shrunken head for thousands of years, and it has really endured it like a turtle until now, and it has really deceived all of us. That's it, the wood is already in the boat. ”

"Why should the prince be depressed, if there is no Yun family and Yunyin Villa in Yin Xunzhou in the future, then it is still unknown who will kill Wenyun Deer in this state. What's more, if one day the whole world is in the pocket of the Yuwen family, won't the cultural fortune of Yin Xunzhou also belong to you?" The greed and fiery heat in the eyes of the Confucian were undisguised, and the middle-aged man in the python robe secretly cursed a madman in his heart when he saw this, and talked about other things with him.

In the other courtyards of this mansion, a young man in gorgeous clothes who looked like a middle-aged man in a python robe threw the letter in his hand into the brazier, and the fire in the young man's eyes was as hot as in the brazier. "I didn't expect the third child to really be done. It's naïve to think that with a marriage given by the royal gift, you can have a place in the Yuwen family. Why don't we make his wedding more lively and red. ”

In the shadows behind the young man, a somewhat hoarse voice said: "The young master doesn't have to take action personally, the room next door really has a sense of crisis, I'm afraid that someone will be more anxious to deal with the third prince than the young master." ”

In an elegant courtyard not far from here, a young man of the same age as Yu Wenxing was firing his bow at several humanoid arrow targets in the courtyard, and the head of the straw man exploded, and plasma splattered all over the ground. The young man licked his scarlet lips, "The third child's action this time is not small, I am afraid that my father will look at him differently after the wedding, and he will inevitably step on my head in the future." ”

A young girl beside the young man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a brocade handkerchief and said, "Why should the prince worry about that waste, didn't the letter say that that the waste actually lost to the waste young master of the Yun family who couldn't cultivate. Lost in front of his future woman and father-in-law to a well-known waste, and did not hesitate to violate the prior agreement and lose the face of the Yuwen family, if this matter is repeatedly mentioned in the ears of the prince from time to time......"

The young man took the girl into his arms, "Yes, my father wants to save face like this, and for the time being, he ignored the stupid things done by the third child because of the Li family's defection, and after a few days, when he calms down, I will let my mother blow the wind on the pillow." After the New Year, I discussed with my eldest brother what kind of gifts to prepare for this waste, and we should celebrate the third brother's wedding. ”

The woman's voice smiled softly and coquettishly: "It's better to give him some medicine that can fight to the exhaustion, but don't snub your future brother and sister." ”

The young man smiled lewdly, "It's time to prepare something for this waste." I don't need to take medicine, and I won't snub you as a beauty. The costumes and dresses fell in the courtyard, and the people retreated with interest, not daring to watch this beautiful scene.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly on the official road after the snow, leaving two rows of deep hoof prints and ruts behind the car. The coachman was a young man with a hat on his head, and he held the reins in one hand and poured the spirits from the jug into his mouth with the other. A green shadow flashed in front of the carriage, and the young man driving the car frowned at first, then relaxed, and continued to drink while driving leisurely.

Hot tea was boiling on the charcoal stove in the carriage, and a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat body was leaning on the soft cushion sewn by the fox fur, and the cold wind outside the carriage was blocked by the warmth and comfort here.

On the shoulders of the middle-aged man stood a small green bird half the size of a palm, and the middle-aged man opened a green projectile on the bird's claw, and inside was a fingernail-sized fine stone, which was a special jade that could record sound and images. Because it is small and convenient, and cannot be opened without a special secret method, it is the best tool for transmitting information and intelligence. However, this jade can only be used once, and there are very few surviving mineral deposits, so it is extremely precious, and a fingernail-sized one costs a few Chongyang coins, so even Yunyin Mountain Villa will not use it easily. But the middle-aged man in the car crushed the jade casually, without any pain, it was like crushing a Suiyi, and his family background was afraid that it could be above the Daxia Chai family.

The voice in the jade came to the ears of the middle-aged man and the young man who was driving outside the car, and was immediately blown away by the howling cold wind in the snowflakes.

"The Yuwen family really tore their faces with the Yun family this time, and even dug up the corners of other people's walls. A gentle voice came from inside the car.

"Are we going to wait and see?" The wind and snow outside the car were very strong, but the young man's voice was still clear.

"Maybe we can also take the initiative and choose to help one of them, whether it's to help one of them, or to help the trouble, wouldn't it be more interesting to make the situation more chaotic?"

"Who will the head of the house help?"

"Whoever can bring us more benefits, we will help. We don't just recognize money, not people. ”

"Does the head of the family think that it is more profitable to fall into the well or to send charcoal in the snow to make more money?"

"It's hard to say, when the situation is chaotic again, the more chaotic it is, the more difficult it is to judge, and the greater the fun of making money. ”

"I didn't expect that so many people who had been looking for ten years really went to Yinxun Prefecture in the end. The young man threw the empty flask on the road.

"You kid, you don't listen to what you say, you have to open up sources and reduce expenditures to make money, no matter how much money you have, you can't waste it, anything you seem to have no use for now, but you don't know that it may be the key to a business in the future. ”

The young man muttered a stingy sigh, and waved his palm at the wine jug that fell on the road, and the wine jug was grabbed by him again, "The head of the family cares so much about keeping it." With that, he threw the flask into the carriage behind him.

"You bastard kid, you're getting more and more unruly. ”

"Rules, the rules of the Fan family are to make money."

A middle-aged hearty laugh came from inside the car, "The children can be taught, the children can be taught." ”

The young man caught the wine jug that flew out of the car again, but it had been refilled with fine wine, "Tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, I will accompany you to drink the northwest wind on the road for the New Year." ”

"Tonight, we can go to Xianxing City, where the copper pot stewed lamb bones are famous. ”

"Then I'll have two pots. ”

"Three pots will do. The middle-aged man tied a jade with the recorded information to the bird's claws on his shoulder, and when the bird disappeared, he continued: "It's been more than two years since I came out, and it's time to go back." If nothing else, I'll be able to meet my cloud nephew. Let me see what the odds of this Yun family are. ”

"I heard he's not a wreck?"

"Do you think he's a wreck?"

In Qianjinzhou, northwest of Great Xia, a white-haired old man in a sable coat threw a few pages of paper in his hand all over the ground. The old man's cheeks, which were already a little red because of the stove in the house, seemed to become more and more red because of anger, "What a Yunyin Villa, what a Yun family! Stealing a country dog thief! Stealing a country dog thief, dare to secretly hide the literature and fortune of a country in Great Xia, and dare to take the things of the Son of Heaven as his own." What else do they want? Could it be that they want to come to our Qianjinzhou and steal the dragon qi of my Fu family. ”

Father said cautiously. The four middle-aged men standing in the room said in unison.

The old man who was thunderous and unscrupulous knew that he had said something rebellious, he looked around, and saw that the two Xiao Si who had just added charcoal to the fire in the house were hurrying out of the door, and the old man glared angrily and said "um". The two subordinates noticed the old man's gaze, and quickly fell to their knees with a pop, not daring to turn around and kowtow vigorously, "We didn't hear anything." "Even crying and howling. It was only before the two of them could say a few words, and the two white vitality that popped out by the fingers of the middle-aged man on the left turned into two headless corpses.

"Maybe the old man surnamed Tao is immortal, because he calculated that several of our families were secretly looking for him, so he deliberately hid in the Yun family's territory. Thinking about dying will disgust us for a while. "The middle-aged road on the right.

"The third one is right, that old thing is deliberately trying to toss and disgust us. Why should my father be angry, since the matter has come to this, presumably the cultural movement in that state has already been stabilized, if we make another move, I am afraid that it will implicate the circulation of the entire Great Xia. Pay for one's whistle. Yunyin Mountain Villa has shrunk for so many years, and now there is a waste young owner, there will definitely be constant infighting, even if this Wenyun is handed away, what kind of storm can they stir up?"

"What the eldest brother said is very true, let's take care of this Wenyun for the time being. Speaking of the Yun family's waste, he was able to defeat Yuwen Xing. It's kind of interesting. ”

"The details of the battle between the two are unknown, only that it is a pressure battle, and that waste is not the same as no cultivation. ”

"Fourth, do you have any news from the person you sent?"

"Count the days, that's the matter of the next two days. ”

"The Yuwen family broke one of the Yun family's arms, and we cut off the lifeblood of his Yun family. ”

"Don't be too happy, Yunyin Villa still has a righteous son of Yunjinhe in this generation. Don't end up making a wedding dress for someone else. ”

The five of them were discussing like this in the room, accompanied by the thick bloody smell that permeated the two corpses.

Although the secret letter is short, it is full of ghosts. Although the wind and snow are tight, they can't hide people's hearts.
