After crossing the Yangtze River, the Southern Tang delegation to Jinling entered the territory of the Song Kingdom. Traveling to Chuzhou, as the official mission, the Song State arranged a post house for the mission to rest.

Since he had an unpleasant quarrel with Li Congshan at the city gate, Xiao Zuo rarely talked to Li Congshan. After resting in the inn, he hurriedly summoned Chen Fang into the house.

Chen Fang was secretly stuffed into the envoy group by Xiao Zuo, and to the outside world, he was called Xiao Zuo's attendant. Chen Fang pushed open the door, walked in with a big grin, looked at Xiao Zuo with slanted eyes and said, "Monk, do you have something to do with me?"

Xiao Zuo was very unhappy, but now he was also Chen Fang's nominal leader, and this guy actually despised himself so much. He said coldly: "Chen Fang, pay attention to your identity, you are now my attendant!"

Chen Fang replied indifferently: "I said that there are no outsiders now, are you there?"

Xiao Zuo shook his head slightly, and sighed in his heart, this kind of straw bag was actually assigned to do such an important errand, is it because Bianliang looks down on the intelligence department of Jinling, or is there really no one to send?

"I'm not going to do it, but you also saw the battle when you went out of the city today, I don't know how you feel about it?"

When Chen Fang heard Xiao Zuo mention this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. Today's joint operation between Shui Yunjian and the City Patrol Division is obviously aimed at him.

"Monk, aren't we out of the city now? Chen Fang said a little weakly.

Xiao Zuo sneered: "Hehe, your joke is so good, do you think people can let you go so easily? Do you know how many tails follow us along the way, I really don't understand, Bianliang's meticulous work is all your virtue, and it is not easy to live to this day without disasters and diseases." ”

A sneer, Chen Fang's face turned red, and he wanted to refute a few words, but his head was not enough, so he could only grit his teeth and gurgle.

"Why are you still not convinced?" Xiao Zuo glanced at him, "I don't believe you can go out of the post house now and try it, I guarantee that you will never come back if you go out." ”

Chen Fang unconsciously glanced out of the post house, although he was the spy leader of the Song State in Jinling, he was asked to find an errand from the back door. He was originally the son of the head of Zhao Guangyi's mansion, the third prince of the Song Kingdom, and he begged his father to get him errands. Therefore, his ability can only be responsible for simple tasks such as delivering intelligence, transmitting information, espionage, and undercover are generally trained professionals.

His martial arts are unusual, this time to send the portrait back to Jinling, his idea is to ask the old man at home to find another way out for him, never to return to Jinling again to come to this thrilling, small life is threatened at any time.

"Then what now?" Chen Anxin looked at Xiao Zuo in horror, if there were really people outside in the water and clouds, he probably hadn't returned to Bianliang yet, so he would go to the report area to Lord Yan first.

"It's very simple," Xiao Zuo snapped his fingers, "Actually, I also want to know these Jinling's aces for a while, so you are responsible for luring them out, and I am responsible for catching them." ”

"Huh?" Chen Fang looked at Xiao Zuo dumbfounded, "Master, you can't be joking, right?"

"Do you know to call me grandpa now?" Xiao Zuo smiled: "But even if you call grandpa, it's useless, this is the trouble you caused, and it's good that I can clean up the mess for you." ”

In the middle of the night, Chen Fang walked out of his house in fear, he packed his baggage, and then sneakily walked around the post house, and Zuihou quietly walked out of the post house through the back door.

Under Xiao Zuo's threat, Chen Fang had no choice but to be the rat that lured the snake out of the hole. He didn't understand why Xiao Zuo shook him to wander around the post house first and then go out, but he still did what Xiao Zuo told him seriously.

When walking on the deserted street, Chen Fang really began to be afraid. A breeze blew in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver, and just as he was about to go further, several black shadows flashed beside him, and then, before he could turn back, he was slashed on the shoulder by a hand knife, and he fainted instantly.

When Chen Fang woke up, he was tightly tied up and down, and the place where he stayed should be the room of the inn. There were three people in the room, one sitting and two standing. The one sitting seemed to be the man named Canglong next to Zhou Qiling.

"Who are you?" Chen Fang didn't expect that he was really caught by the people in the water and clouds. Now he is frightened and angry, and he doesn't know how many times he has greeted Xiao Zuo's ancestors for the eighteenth generation. Didn't he just lead the snake out of his hole? Why is it that now that the snake has taken the rat away, but the farmer who fights the snake is gone, does he really regard himself as a disgusting rat?

"Are you Chen Fang?" Canglong looked at Chen Fang with burning eyes, Chen Fang was startled by his sharp gaze, and nodded hurriedly.

"Very well, then, where is the painting?"

"What painting?" Chen muttered anxiously, anxiously waiting for Xiao Zuo's appearance, and couldn't help but look out the window.

"Do you want to eat some sweetness first, or suffer a little bitterness first?" Canglong's face was hideous, and the words came out of his mouth.

"What is sweetness and what is bitterness?"

"Sweetness, it's something delicious first, such as the pills in the porcelain bottle in my hand, eat it to ensure that you are full of energy, full of vitality, and whatever you want. I don't know when Canglong had a small porcelain bottle in his hand, he held the porcelain bottle and said, "This pill is so rare that I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people." ”

Chen Fang's pupils instantly dilated many times, thinking in his heart, what is full of energy, full of vitality, what do you want, Chen Fang didn't believe these nonsense words in Canglong's mouth, this pill must be an extremely torturous medicine. Looking at Canglong, he said with difficulty: "Then what is the suffering?"

"You're interesting," Canglong laughed hard to like, always gloomy. "Ordinary people have already cried and begged for mercy when they saw this pill, only you dare to ask me what is suffering, interesting. ”

"Brother Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, why haven't you shown up yet, if you don't come again, I'll really explain here. Chen Anxin called out angrily, in fact, he had been trying to go around in circles with Canglong, in order to delay time and drag Xiao Zuo to rescue him.

"The bitterness, it's the two brothers around me who give you activities and muscles, look at your fine skin and tender meat, you must be pampered and pampered on weekdays, and you should loosen your body and bones. ”

"Do I have a choice?" Chen asked reassuringly.

"Choose?" Canglong smiled slightly, "You can say yes, you can also say no, if you tell me where the portrait is now, you don't have to choose, if you want to try it later, then I can also let you try it together, pain and happiness, isn't it life." ”

"I love to hear that. At this moment, a slightly shrill male voice came from outside the door, the voice was mellow and delicate, and if you didn't listen carefully, you thought it was a female voice. "I think you should ask him if he is willing first, if you encounter a hard bone, not all torture is useful. ”

"Who is it?" Canglong's face tightened, he didn't find anyone eavesdropping outside, and his heart suddenly became vigilant. I saw him stand up, rushed to the door in one step, opened the door and saw that Xiao Zuo was looking at him with a smile.

"Is that you?" Canglong was startled, and he didn't expect that the deputy envoy who was hurriedly glancing at the city gate was actually a well-hidden master.

"Huh?" This time it was Xiao Zuo's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect that the other party actually had someone who knew him, "You know me?"

However, Xiao Zuozhuan thought about it, and the person in front of him must have seen him at the city gate, so he was relieved. "Old man Zhou sent you with this kind of goods, and Shui Yunjian has such a little ability?"

Canglong was furious when he heard this, but the person in front of him didn't know what he meant, and he didn't want to act rashly, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Lord Xiao, below is Canglong, who is the co-leader of Shuiyunjian, and this person has been verified to be the main person sent to Jinling by the Song State, and we have been ordered to come and arrest him." ”

Xiao Zuo smiled, walked straight in, found a place to sit down, and then said leisurely: "What kind of assistant leader is what dragon, is your position higher now, or is my official rank higher than yours?"

"Naturally, the rank of the adult is higher than mine. "The assistant leader of Shuiyunjian belongs to the officer, and the official rank is only from the seventh rank, and as for Xiao Zuo, Li Yu actually did not award him a rank at all, he is a tabula rasa visiting deputy envoy. The reason why Canglong said that his official rank was not as high as him was judged by the official rank of Li Congshan, the envoy who was visiting abroad.

"Very good. Xiao Zuo lifted Erlang's legs and poured himself a cup of tea, "I don't like to use my official position to suppress people, and I have always persuaded people with reason." Let's just talk about whether you did this authentic or not. ”

"Your Excellency, please. The other party's martial arts didn't know how powerful they were, and Canglong didn't dare to turn his face for a while, so he said respectfully.

"First of all, you took my people away at will without going through formal channels, that is, without my consent, which is illegal law enforcement, and secondly, you are doing things so sneakily, and you have lost the face of the court, as well as your Lord Zhou, you know?"

Canglong had a black line on his head and said: "Lord Xiao, Shui Yunjian handles the case, doesn't ask about the process, just seeks the result." ”

"A good result," Xiao Zuo smiled slightly, "I don't care about the process, so let's talk about this result." Do you know what the consequences are for you to move my people?"

Canglong shook his head, he had already seen that this Lord Xiao was obviously in the same group as Chen Fang. "If your lord is determined to protect this spy, then I won't say anything more. ”

"You misunderstood," Xiao Zuo stood up, walked in front of Chen Fang, and said: "I said just now that I have always persuaded people with reason, so since you have repeatedly thought that this person is Song Guo's fine work, I will also give you an explanation, so let's try it together tonight, how about it?"

As soon as Xiao Zuo's words fell, Chen Fang, who had been nervous, was instantly stunned, what the hell is this, it's not that he is talking, he is just luring the snake out of the hole, why are you still mixed with the enemy now, Xiao Zuo, you are going to play me to death. Chen Fang wanted to cry without tears, and asked the sky speechlessly.
