Taiping Lane

The Shiji bookstore has closed its doors, on the street in front of the bookstore, only a small whirlwind swirls past, there are no pedestrians, and the yard behind is also pitch black, except for a few dog barks occasionally sounded nearby, it is very quiet.

Shi Mingda returned to his room not long ago, and came back from the restaurant, although the second uncle had rested, but the things he handed over to tidy up kept him busy for a while.

He had drunk some wine in the restaurant, but the amount of wine was good, and he would not get drunk even if he drank a jar of wine with a high degree of wine, and at this time he was lying on a wooden bed with a thin mattress, and his head was even more sober than usual.

I don't know why, he couldn't help but think back to what he heard in the restaurant.

"I didn't have time to tell the second uncle tonight, and I will tell the second uncle early tomorrow morning? ”

"It's about King Qi and alchemy, even if you have merit, I'm afraid it's hot. ”

He is only the bottom of the Imperial City Division, but because he is working with his second uncle, he also knows that in recent months, the emperor has paid great attention to King Qi and King Shu.

Not long ago, I heard that the second uncle mentioned that alchemy was not a trivial matter, and now I heard that Qingyuan Temple has a connection with the Qi Palace......

Hey, why is it involved in alchemy......

Shi Mingda couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he was really a little difficult, he was a person from the Imperial City Division, and he knew that the right to put it bluntly was intimacy, and finding out a big case related to King Qi by himself was a great achievement, but it could also be a disaster.

Thinking about it, I was both scared and reluctant to hide it.

Wealth has always been in danger, what can be found out of this matter, although it may be hated by King Qi, but it is indeed a rare good opportunity for promotion, even if it will be the second uncle who gets the benefits, but the second uncle is good, isn't he also stained with light?

"To say it or not to say it?"

A little person like him, if he wants to survive well in the Imperial City Division, he must have the sensitivity of a small person, and now he feels that his intuition is warning him.

Because he only took off his coat and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, when he suddenly heard a movement outside, he suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt and got up and walked to the door.

"Dazi, it's me, I have a task, come out quickly!" A familiar voice from outside the door made Shi Mingda breathe a sigh of relief.

When he reached the door, he pulled the deadbolt and opened it with a squeak.

Sure enough, it was the second uncle who was standing outside in the night.

Second Uncle Shi saw Shi Mingda come out, turned around and left, Shi Mingda looked at his face, he didn't dare to delay, and was busy.

In order not to let the people nearby find out, whether it was the second uncle who came to call, or a few colleagues who had come out to gather one after another, they all spoke in a low voice and walked lightly, which was trained for many years.

"Second uncle, what's so urgent? What's wrong?" Shi Mingda went out, he had already put on his coat, tied his belt, and pinned the short knife he copied in his waist, and today's situation made him a little nervous, so he asked in a low voice.

Second Uncle Shi's face was not so good-looking, and he didn't have a good face for his nephew, so he only frowned and whispered back: "There is an urgent order above, let the Imperial City Division immediately investigate the King of Qi, the King of Shu and the Duke of Daiguo!"

That's really urgent, Shi Mingda thought.

And look at this meaning, I'm afraid that the things encountered are not small, otherwise it would be good to directly use the infantry yamen, why let the spies from the stronghold of the Imperial City Division be dispatched in harmony, so they are not afraid of revealing their identities?

It can be seen that compared with the secret agents of the Imperial City Division who exposed the strongholds in the capital, what they wanted to investigate was a big deal.

"Isn't it ...... What kind of alchemy does it have to do with that, right?" Shi Mingda's mind suddenly popped up with such a thought.

But seeing that the second uncle was in a hurry to explain the task to others, he wanted to say that at this juncture, he was a little afraid to say it, for fear of being scolded by the second uncle, so he could only shut his mouth and rush out with everyone when they went out.

Instead of going out of the bookstore in front of them, these people ran out of the gate of the house quickly, and ran down the street for a while, when they saw someone waiting.

When he saw them coming, one of the men gestured to prove that he was his own, and said, "Follow me." ”

This is the one who came to receive them.

Shi Mingda had something in his heart, and he had been silent with his second uncle, these people divided their troops into at least three ways, Shi Mingda followed the second uncle to a nearby restaurant, and the people who came to pick them up came back: "King Qi is in the opposite restaurant to meet people, my identity is not suitable for hidden investigation, you closely monitor." ”

This is a normal task for ordinary spies of the Imperial City Division, Second Uncle Shi immediately responded, and then took Shi Mingda to lurk near the restaurant, while one person entered the restaurant.

Including Shi Mingda's second uncle, in terms of temperament, they are all low-key ordinary people who can't be found in the crowd, and once they blend into the crowd, they are equivalent to fish into the sea.

Soon, a scholar dressed elegantly and aristocratically came out of the restaurant, and the spy of the Imperial City Division behind the scholar gestured to Shi Mingda's uncle and nephew.

The two immediately understood that this scholar should have been in contact with King Qi in the restaurant.

Second Uncle Shi carefully identified it, and couldn't see anything special except for his good temperament, neither like a martial arts master, nor a well-known figure in the capital.

Or is this person actually just used by King Qi as a shield to interfere with their sight?

Yes, or that's it.

"King Qi is a cheerful person. The reader walked calmly, with a faint expression, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and a little smile.

It's not someone else, it's Zhou Xuan.

Through the introduction of the half-demon Xu Ling, Zhou Xuan successfully got on the line with King Qi's people, and this time he was invited to meet King Qi.

Because it was somewhat inconvenient to go to King Qi's mansion, King Qi was obviously not very at ease with it, so they chose such a restaurant as a meeting place.

The boss behind the restaurant is King Qi, who is proud of King Qi, so he naturally feels that his territory is very proper, and there is no problem.

In fact, it is true, if it is not a sudden big incident, the Imperial City Division will not take the risk of touching the scale of King Qi, and the surveillance will be monitored, but it will not even report the King of Qi's eating, drinking, and recreation.

Zhou Xuan met with King Qi this time, and he was quite satisfied with the results of the talks, and his expression also brought out some of them, but to say that he was completely satisfied, he was not satisfied, and he was also a little dissatisfied.

"The King of Qi is full of hatred for the Duke of Daiguo, which is somewhat unexpected by me, I thought that he would ask me to deal with the King of Shu. ”

"But in this way, it is really beneficial to me, and a consensus has been reached on dealing with the Dai Guogong, and there is a Qi Wang Party in the court to help and add fuel to the fire, and I only need to help, and I can kill it when it is critical, which really saves a lot of heart. ”

"But there are also dissatisfactions. ”

Thinking of King Qi's jealousy of it, Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly: "Hey, King Qi is jealous of me, and he is only willing to agree verbally, refusing to give any certificate." ”

"There are no procedural formalities in this, which means that I can't borrow much power, whether it is the real force or the dragon qi, it seems that if I want to seize the handle of the acting Guogong, I still have to go out in person. ”

Thinking like this, I came out, the night wind blew, and Zhou Xuan suddenly paused, and his heart sank.
