I’m The King Chapter 239: :Meet
Chengnan Jingfang.
Looking down from the sky, this large area of low-rise houses is separated by four narrow and long alleys, and the four alleys intersect to form a big well, which is why Jingfang got its name.
Narrow lanes, low houses, dense population, and dim lights are the main theme of entering the workshop at night. People who work outside during the day return to their nests at night. The smell of fireworks pervades the narrow streets. Many people don’t have kitchens at all, they just set up stoves under the eaves outside the house, all kinds of sewage flow across, and occasionally rotten vegetables and leaves fly out from somewhere , landed on the ground with a slap, and in the shadows, a few wild dogs would come out, extend their noses to sniff, and leave disappointed.
The men who have worked hard all day are sitting on the threshold, holding big bowls and slurping the food prepared by the woman, while talking loudly to the neighbors about what they have seen and heard today. If you say something that everyone doesn't know, there will be exclamations one after another, and the man's vanity will be greatly satisfied in the exclamations.
The dolls are the happiest, chasing each other in groups of three and four, and the dim lights can't stop them from having fun in the game at all. No problem, at least it didn't make the dolls hungry.
Zhang Yi wore a felt hat on his head, a straight coat, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, a coil of rope hanging around his waist, and a shoulder pole in his hand. He strode along the narrow alley. Among them, his attire is not different from that of the men living in these alleys, but if it is in broad daylight, it is easy for someone with a heart to see the flaw, that is, Zhang Yi is now no different from him in terms of skin color or temperament. The people who live here are really very different. Especially beside Zhang Yi, there is also Cuihua who is also dressed up in the same disguise.
The two of them were walking in the alleyway, and many people raised their heads and looked at the two of them. It is not uncommon for a man to go home at this time. Coming back, that is rare. Both of them are strangers, and they have attracted everyone's attention. Ten out of ten people who live here know each other. If they don't know each other, at least they are familiar.
Looking at the eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yi pulled down his felt hat, his face full of anger, "I don't let you come, but you want to come, see, there is no secret, everyone is watching Follow us!"
Cuihua also felt a little regretful at this time, she lowered her head, hurried on the road, heard Zhang Yi's reprimand, and argued: "I miss my hometown, I just came to see , it’s not something shameful, besides, how can the people here recognize us? After today, we will not come to this kind of place, and they can’t go to our kind of place. What."
"Shut up!" Zhang Yi said angrily: "Tianci is the county lieutenant's personal soldier, Tianci came here in person, and even pretended to see you like this, there must be something, your man will be working outside in the future, Don't ask, I'll take your skin off if you ruined the county captain's affairs."
Cuihua flattened her mouth, and finally did not return her words. In the past two years, as Zhang Yi's status has become higher and higher, at home, his words have become more and more important. It's not like when he just married her , just a servant.
The southernmost part of Jingfang is the Xiaoyang River that runs across Jicheng. This river also provides an endless stream of water for the moat of Jicheng. On the edge of the Yang River, Cao Tianci chose this place as the place to meet Zhang Yi. Cao Tianci finally decided to be here after repeated choices.
The terrain here is complex, forward is the chaotic residential area of Jingfang, behind, Xiaoyang River provides them with another escape route, if they encounter danger, no matter whether it is forward or backward, they will not be caught Pushed to a dead end.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Cao Tianci sat quietly at the table, waiting for Zhang Yi.
The door was gently pushed open, and a man came in, and reported to Cao Tianci in a low voice the whereabouts of Zhang Yi all the way since Zhang Yi stepped into the well. After listening to the man's report, Cao Tianci nodded in satisfaction. So far, Zhang Yi has not shown anything that makes him suspicious.
It was an accident that Cuihua followed, but it was precisely because Cuihua also followed that it actually made Cao Tianci's income a little more at ease.
"You guys retreat, wait for my news." Cao Tianci waved his hand.
"Are you staying here alone?" The man was stunned and asked. Cao Tianci is very young, but he is quite respected among Fufeng soldiers. First of all, he fought a lot of battles with Gao Yuan , on the battlefield, he has already won respect, and secondly, he is in charge of the Department of Military Jurisdiction, which is a formidable department, and these men who followed Cao Tianci to Jicheng know better than ordinary Fufeng soldiers Many, they understand that apart from their superficial responsibilities, the Military Judiciary has another hidden and deeper function, which no one else can understand except for those involved.
"I'm alone, that's enough!" Cao Tianci waved his hand, he was very dissatisfied with the man's performance, even if the other party cared about him, as what he was going to do now and what he was about to do, a Qualified subordinates should not have any problems at all, they just need to do their best to do the things assigned by the above.
Looking at Cao Tianci's expression, the man seemed to have come to his senses. A dim oil lamp and the lonely Cao Tianci.
A moment later, there was a light knock on the door, Cao Tianci stood up, walked to the door, and listened quietly for a moment to the sound outside, the two breathing sounds were very heavy.
He opened the door, with a rare smile on his face, "Brother Zhang, you are here, Sister Cuihua, we meet again."
Zhang Yi and Cuihua walked in, seeing their old friends from their hometown, their faces were full of uncontrollable joy.
"Little Tianci, you have grown taller again." Cuihua beamed, "I was really shocked when I saw you during the day, I didn't recognize where you were lying at first, if it wasn't for your mouth In Fufeng, I dare not recognize you, how are you? How is the county captain? How is your father?"
As soon as she entered the door, Cuihua couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and asked like a burst of firecrackers, while Zhang Yi on the side shook his head and smiled wryly.
Although he doesn't like Cuihua calling himself Xiao Tianci, Cao Tianci is still very moved by the other party's sincere joy and emotion. Although there is no special expression on his face, he still feels some warmth in his heart. Cuihua nodded, "It's all okay."
"The county lieutenant really shouldn't have gone this time!" Zhang Yi's face was very heavy, "I heard a lot of news in Jicheng, saying that this time the county lieutenant jumped into it by himself." In the trap set by Ye Tiannan, there must be no return, this is almost a half-open secret in Jicheng."
"The county lieutenant has to go!" Cao Tianci simply replied, "Brother Zhang, sit down."
Zhang Yi sat down, "Tianci, are you here alone? The county captain sent you here, I wonder what the county captain ordered?"
"Of course I'm not the only one!" Cao Tianci sat across from Zhang Yi, "But they are all in another place, here is just a temporary foothold I chose."
Zhang Yi's eyes flickered. After more than a year of experience, Zhang Yi has long been understanding, and he immediately understood the meaning of Cao Tianci's words, and his face could not help but become a little angry.
"You don't believe me?" There was even a tinge of cruelty in his tone, "Tianci, don't forget, when I followed the county captain, you still didn't recognize the county captain, even your old man I don’t even recognize it.”
Cao Tianci looked at Zhang Yi quietly, "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid that this kind of thing can't be explained by knowing each other sooner or later. For more than a year, I have been born and died with the county captain. As for you, you are good at dancing. Among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there are scholars who talk and laugh, and there are no casual people. Who is qualified to enter the Xianyun Tower, which one is not a big shot in Jicheng. After staying among these people for a long time, you still treat the county lieutenant the same as before Loyal and loyal? I have to be careful. There is no need to speak secretly in front of the wise, my arrangement today is indeed to guard against you."
Cuihua on the side widened her eyes, and she finally realized that Cao Tianci was doubting their husband and wife's loyalty to Gao Yuan. Cao Tianci, how dare you not trust us?"
Cao Tianci's reaction was extremely fast. How could it be possible for a person who climbed out of the mountain of swords and arrows to have Cuihua, a woman, grab her ears and avoid the side of her head.
The anger on Zhang Yi's face disappeared at this time, looking at Cao Tianci, he said in a deep voice: "I don't need to express my loyalty to the county captain in front of you, just tell me what the county captain wants me to do , even if it costs the lives of my husband and wife, I will do well for the county captain."
Cao Tianci nodded, but did not directly answer Zhang Yi's words, "You brought your sister-in-law with you today, but you made most of my suspicions go away. Brother Zhang, don't blame me. In your current situation, I'm afraid I have to take precautions, this is not aimed at you, although I, Cao Tianci, am not very old, I also know that no matter what I do, I am responsible to the county magistrate, I hope you understand this."
"I understand."
"That's all right!" Cao Tianci took out a letter from his pocket, "This is a letter from the county captain to Miss Ye Jinger, I hope you can find a way to pass it on to her."
"Although I have been in Jicheng for a long time, and the people I know are mostly high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but Godsend, you have to understand that in the eyes of those people, I am just a shopkeeper, a fellow who does things for others. I smiled sweetly, but I just looked at the people behind the Xianyun Building. It is impossible to really gain the trust of these people, and up to now, Ye Tiannan has never been to Xianyun Building, let alone Miss Jinger How can I pass this letter to her?"
"This is your business!" Cao Tianci said calmly. "I don't care what to do, I only know that this is the order of the county captain."
Zhang Yi didn't speak any more, put away the letter, and hid it in his arms, "It's just this?"
"Of course not." Cao Tianci paused, "delivering the letter is just a small incidental task, and I have another purpose here. And this matter is the main purpose of the county lieutenant who sent me to Jicheng .”
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, "What does the county captain want me to do?"
"The county lieutenant wants to weave a network, an intelligence network. You are in the position now, and you are the best person to do this!" Cao Tianci looked at Zhang Yi without blinking, saying a word An authentic meal.
