Chapter 1354 Undercurrent
Chapter 1354
Chang'an, Kyoto.
There are people coming and going in the street market, and traffic is everywhere.
There are many restaurants and shops, all walks of life, and a prosperous scene.
The wide streets are enough to drive more than a dozen carriages side by side.
On the street, there were businessmen leading camels and pulling goods, and the bells rang out crisply.
Some vendors were selling along the street.
A young scholar talked about his head in front of an item.
There are young women who are out for fun and laughing together.
All kinds of lively sounds are endless.
Under prosperity, there are undercurrents and fluctuations.
A man with white face and no beard appeared.
He was wearing a thick gray coat and tied his hair with cloth strips, and he let pedestrians pass by from time to time, and his travels were in a hurry.
Behind him, among the crowd, a young man was slowly following.
On the left rear is a person who is buying buns.
On the right rear is a man who is bargaining with vendors.
All three were monitoring the man in gray. The three were all elites from the military aircraft camp. They looked so ordinary that they would disappear immediately if they threw them into the crowd.
There were many people in the street market, and the man in gray did not notice any abnormality. Soon, he came to a "Liu's mutton soup restaurant". Before entering, he looked around and looked around.
The three people who followed him did not follow him, but disappeared into the crowd.
There is a restaurant diagonally opposite the mutton soup restaurant. At noon, the business is very good, and guests keep entering and leaving the door.
There were two people sitting by the window of the second floor private room, Lin Chu and Chen Jing.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chu said in a calm voice: "You are right to not take action. If you rashly enter the mutton soup restaurant, this line may be broken."
He had already come to Chang'an. Although the battle of Qinling ended, the intelligence mission was not over. When Lingzhou was captured and Murong Hongye was liquidated, the large network of the Lingguo Sili Camp intelligence agency was still there. The detailed works they had previously installed in various places were still lurking.
All of these need to be found out.
Lin Chu has been doing this in the past few months. He vaguely felt that these remnants of the Sili Camp were secretly contacting Lingzhou.
Especially after the capital was established, the safety of Kyoto Chang'an became even more important, and no detailed works were allowed here.
Chen Jing has performed several top-secret missions and sent a lot of military intelligence with his life. Therefore, he was promoted to the position of third-in-command as soon as he came back.
Chen Jing's eyes were taken back from the mutton soup restaurant, and the dishes were mixed with ordinary diners: "The Sili Camp has been destroyed. With a humble opinion, these remaining works will no longer be as dedicated as before. Many people are even trying to erase this identity, so."
Lin Chu understood what he meant and pondered for a moment: "Have you figured out where this guy is staying?"
"I figured it out. The third house in Yangliu Lane is a small old wooden door. There is a half-foot-long crack on the door." Chen Jing said very carefully.
"Then press this guy while there is no one at night, don't alarm the residents next door." Lin Chu quickly decided.
"I understand, don't worry, sir, I'll make arrangements later." Chen Jing replied.
Inside the Liu family mutton soup restaurant.
The man in gray was named Xie San. To be honest, he didn't want to come here, but he had no choice.
This season is not the time to drink mutton soup, so the business in the store is not good, with only two or three people. Once a customer comes in, it is easy to attract attention. This is also the reason why Chen Jing did not ask his subordinates to follow up.
Xie San sat in the back, ordered a portion of mutton soup noodles, and was eating it in big mouthfuls. After eating the noodles, he drank the soup clean and warmed his body, causing layers of sweat to overflow from his forehead.
He wiped it randomly, got up and threw down a few copper coins and left here.
late at night.
Every household in Yangliu Lane has already blown the lights and rested, and it is dark.
Xie San was lying on the bed toss and couldn't sleep.
He was the intelligence officer who was originally arranged by the Sili Camp in the imperial capital. With the destruction of the Ling Kingdom, he had decided to change his identity and live a good life as an ordinary person, but recently, someone from Lingzhou came here.
Now that the world is unified, the country is stable, and there is no war anymore. He really wants to find an ordinary errand, eat and drink well every day, is he uncomfortable?
But he couldn't refuse because the other party controlled his family and grasped his identity.
Xie San felt more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and turned over again.
By the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep in a daze.
But soon, a slight movement came. He was already half-dream and half awake. Perhaps due to his profession, he couldn't help but feel excited and subconsciously shouted: "Who!?"
A black shadow flashed.
Xie San was about to get up, but a cold cold front was approaching his neck.
Even though it was dark night, he didn't know that this was a sword blade. If he went in a little more, he would inevitably splash blood.
Xie Sanban's body was frozen there, and he did not dare to move at all. His heart also raised his throat and his voice trembled: "I don't know which hero I have offended. If I want money, there are still some broken silver under the bed. The hero will take it for himself. Don't hurt my life."
The black shadow didn't talk nonsense to him, and he acted like lightning, and directly knocked him out with a knife.
The next morning.
Xie San woke up in shock and stood up suddenly, which made him look completely unfamiliar.
This is a normal room with only a round table and a bed.
Xie San sat by the bed and looked at him, unable to help but rub his neck, which still hurt.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the room was opened, Chen Jing walked in in casual clothes, and stood up with his hands behind his back, "Thank you?"
Although Xie San was not very clear about the current situation, he also knew that he was in danger and said cautiously: "You have recognized the wrong person? What does it mean to kidnap me, a commoner, in the middle of the night."
"Haha." Chen Jing didn't bother to talk much, but took out his token and shook it: "Do you know me?"
Seeing this token, Xie San's pupils shrank, and a hint of panic flashed across his face.
As a former Sili Camp, how could he not know the brand of the Military Machine Camp?
Since it is a military camp, his identity may have been exposed long ago.
He knew very well that if he was not sure about his military camp's style of conduct, he would never take action, and he would not have been able to take too much effort to capture a "civilian".
Thinking of this, his face changed again.
Chen Jing put away the token and said in a plain voice: "It seems that you already understand where this is. Since that's the case, there is no need to talk nonsense. Now, you have two choices."
"First, cooperate with me and continue to contact the mutton soup restaurant. Afterwards, I will report to the above. Not only will you whitewash your identity, but you will also give you a reward to allow you to live a prosperous and stable life. Of course, you can even enter the military camp to serve you."
"Second, endure torture until it is tortured to death."
"Do you know about Liu's mutton soup restaurant?" Xie San couldn't help asking.
