"Are you the captain of the team?" All three were shocked.
"Um."
"What evidence do you have?" Liu Jiabao asked warily.
I thought about it, and Xiao Mu only made a verbal promise. I wonder if the official captain has a token or something like that, or does he need to exchange a few passwords or something?
"Each captain will at least know the names of a few other captains. Let's talk about a few." Liu Jiabao folded his hands in front of his chest, looking like a little adult.
I also crossed my arms and said, "You said you are the captain of Team Shen, what evidence do you have? You tell me first!"
Liu Jiabao hesitated for a moment and replied: "Captain of the ugly team, the young master of Shunfeng Escort Agency, Lin Shu."
"What? Lin Shu?" I was surprised again: "Is that...the Lin Shu we met by the Qingchuan River last time? He is also a secret agent of the Sky Eye?"
"Yes, he was also personally recruited by the imperial envoy. It's your turn."
I coughed and thought for a while: "Captain of the sub-team, the master thief who doesn't take five things, Su Xiaolu."
This time Liu Jiabao was as dumbfounded as I was: "Su Xiaolu? You mean... that little thief who calls himself a grand thief? He... how can he be an elite spy?"
I smiled and said, "You have to ask Xiao Mu about the people he recruited."
"Xiao Mu?" Liu Jiabao was stunned: "Which Xiao Mu?"
I looked at them doubtfully: "You don't even know Xiao Mu, are you pretending to be secret agents of the Sky Eye?"
"You are the one who is pretending!" Liu Jiabao turned around and put a sharp knife against my chest: "Tell me! Who are you?"
I didn't expect this little brat to suddenly act so cruelly, so I quickly waved my hand: "Don't... don't get excited. I... I am really an elite spy recruited by Xiao Mu, but... I'm still in the process of assessment..."
"Which Xiao Mu?"
"He is just a scholar who tells people's fortunes on weekdays. He shakes a fan all day long and has 'Mu Banxian' written on it." I tried to defend myself. I really don't know how to introduce Xiao Mu. If
Liu Jiabao doesn't believe it. Should I move out Madam Mu and Li Huichun, or go find Long Yuhan? I'm not sure about Liu Jiabao's identity, so I can't risk exposing other teams.
"Mu Banxian?" Liu Jiabao moved the knife away and shook his head helplessly: "I really can't figure out what's wrong with the imperial envoy. Why does he love being a fortune teller so much? After so many years, he always likes to pretend to be poor.
Scholars bluff and cheat."
"What? Imperial envoy?" I was a little confused: "I'm talking about Xiao Mu."
"Aren't they all the same? Isn't the imperial envoy's surname Mu? He thinks he is young, so people always call him Xiao Mu." Liu Jiabao said with a smile: "But I am younger than him, so I call him Brother Mu. He likes to be called Brother Mu.
My little baby."
I just felt goosebumps falling all over the floor: "You mean the Xiao Mu I saw is the imperial envoy? How... is this possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
"Yes, the imperial envoy has always been easy-going and dressed up as a scholar." Lin Yuanfeng also smiled and said: "When he invited us to join the application team, I also misunderstood him as a fortune teller."
"But..." I just felt like my mind was in a mess.
"Shaodong's house, Shaodong's house, someone is looking for you!" It was Xiaoman's voice.
"who?"
"The guests that the young host's family entertained in the private room a few days ago."
"Quick, please come in."
Immediately, the door opened, Lu Yi and Lin Yuanfeng retreated to both sides, and a man in civilian clothes stepped into the room.
This man looks very familiar. He is about 20 or 30 years old. Although his appearance is ordinary, there is an invisible force between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he can see through people.
"Brother Quan, why are you here?" Liu Jiabao ran over excitedly.
"Your sister-in-law wants to eat your delicious food, so she comes to ask you if she can give you a discount."
It's him! When Liu Jiabao said "Brother Quan", I was finally sure of his identity. He looked familiar. Isn't he the gatekeeper of the West Gate, Quan Kang?
"My lord." I quickly clasped my hands.
"Oh, Li Jianghu. Why are you here? It won't affect your official business, right? What secret mission does the imperial envoy have?" Quan Kang patted me on the shoulder and asked.
"Do you recognize me, Master Quan?" I blurted out the question I asked last time at the West City Gate again.
"How could I not recognize the dignified Captain Wei?" Quan Kang said with a smile: "He looks like just an ordinary citizen, but he is brave, careful, brave and commendable, which is indeed admirable."
"Me?" I felt uncomfortable being praised by Quan Kang like this: "Master Quan, thank you very much. How could Li be so good?"
"Even the murderer who poisoned the imperial envoy dared to escort him out of the city in person. Captain Li's courage put Quan to shame."
"Poison the imperial envoy? Who is it? What's wrong with Brother Mu?" Liu Jiabao obviously didn't know anything about it. Hearing what Quan Kang said, his face changed drastically and he tightened his clothes tightly.
"Hey, hey, don't get excited. It's just the imperial envoy's strategy, it's okay." Quan Kang quickly explained.
"Did everyone know about Nuan Xin's plan to poison the imperial envoy last time?"
"That's it. Otherwise, how could we let you out of the city?" Quan Kang clapped his chest: "Everyone in our squadron has a sharp eye. There are so many people coming in and out of the city every day. Who has problems, we can pick them out with just one look.
come out."
"Captain Xu? You..."
"I am the captain of Captain Xu. I am five years older than you. From now on, you don't have to be polite to me in private. Just like Jiabao, just call me Big Brother. From now on, we will all be colleagues and we will work together happily."
Liu Jiabao jumped up happily: "I am still questioning Brother Jianghu's identity. Since Brother Quan has testified, there is no need to ask any more. Lu Yi, go and let people have good wine and good food. Today we have
You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
Quan Kang touched Liu Jiabao's head: "How many cups can you have, kid? You got drunk last time after just one cup. Fortunately, Lin Shu was here, so he had a good time with me!"
"Don't worry, I still have two team members today, as well as Brother Jianghu. I guarantee that you will have a great time."
Of course the guys didn't dare to neglect the young boss's words. Soon, the table was filled with delicacies. Shopkeeper Liu came over to look at him distressedly, but was kicked out by Liu Jiabao. It seemed that this little kid was Shopkeeper Liu's weakness.
.Haha, I often hear Song Erlang say that Shopkeeper Liu is stingy. I am afraid that the money he finally managed to get was squandered by his son.
"The young master is really domineering. Come and respect the young master." I said with a smile.
Liu Jiabao took a sip of wine: "Brother Jianghu just calls me by my name. Brother Mu, Brother Li, and Sister Xian'er all call me Xiaobaozi."
Quan Kang, Lu Yi, and Lin Yuanfeng finished their drinks and said to me: "Team Chen, the captain of Team Si has a close relationship with the imperial envoy. They call after the imperial envoy, but we don't dare to call them by ordinary names."
"You all know that Doctor Li and Madam Mu are secret agents with eyes from the sky?"
"Yes. Also, I heard that the imperial envoy also recruited two elite spies in Yongqing County. Oh, my senior brother is Dongfang Hong from Shenlong Villa, whom the escort leader Lin mentioned last time. He is also an elite spy, Wu Team."
Liu Jiabao pushed the wine glass aside, picked up the vegetables and started eating.
I silently picked up my fingers and counted: "Nine, twelve, twelve elite spies, then...who else?"
Quan Kang frowned: "Who is Team Zi, Team You?"
"Sub team, the master thief Su Xiaolu, team You..." Liu Jiabao looked at me for help.
I smiled slightly: "Well... Fendai from Wanhualou."
"Wanhua Tower?" Liu Jiabao grinned: "The imperial envoy is really capable. Why has he even recruited thieves? Looking at it like this, there is no one he dares to use."
"Who are Yin, Mao and Hai?" Quan Kang also looked at me.
"This...I don't know anymore." I smiled awkwardly. It was obvious that the teams had not communicated with each other. I wonder if Xiao Mu...er...the imperial envoy...has finished recruiting people? I think it is necessary.
Let's get everyone together and get to know each other.
After having enough wine and food, Liu Jiabao packed some delicious food for Quankang, then sent me out of the door, whispering: "Brother Jianghu, if you are tired of Sister Xianer's noodles, feel free to come to my house, what do you want to eat?"
random."
I smiled and shook my head: "I think your father's face is about to fall to the ground, but I don't dare."
"Are you talking about my Aye? He is the one who brought it upon himself, huh, it's his own fault." Liu Jiabao said with contempt on his face: "A few days ago, while Mrs. Zhu was scolding Sister Xian'er, he secretly used money to hire a few women.
To help cheer up, they used vegetable leaves and eggs to smash the Jianghu Inn into a mess.
He thought that he had done a good job, and Sister Xian'er would blame all of this on Madam Zhu, but Sister Xian'er was like a mirror in her heart.
Sister Xianer played a cruel trick in front of me, saying that she had no shame in living and had nowhere to go, so she wanted to commit suicide in front of me. I felt soft-hearted and took her home in order to comfort her.
Then, she did not know what kind of magic spell she used on my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law believed in Buddhism. After listening to sister Xian'er's words, she gave her all the money in the family to pay off her debts, which made me so anxious that I almost carried her back.
Get angry.
Later, many of my Aye's antiques were 'accidentally' broken into pieces by Sister Xian'er. I had no choice but to admit my mistake and gave Sister Xian'er a hundred taels of silver and a lot of new clothes.
Jewelry, that’s why I invited Sister Xian’er out of the house.”
I was a little drunk after eating, but when I heard Liu Jiabao talking about Madam Mu, I immediately sobered up a lot. I didn't expect that such interesting things would happen in these days. I just saw that there were no guests at Jianghu Inn, so I was worried.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mu relied on shopkeeper Liu's family for their business. One hundred taels of silver, how many days should this be shopkeeper Liu's income?
"I heard that Mrs. Mu is planning to recruit marriages throughout the city?" I asked, I couldn't help but want to inquire about her current situation.
"Yes. I'm afraid a notice will be posted in a few days. I hope Sister Xian'er can choose a good husband this time, better than Brother Li!" Liu Jiabao said hopefully.
"Brother Li? Are you talking about Li Huichun? How come you know so much about Madam Mu?"
"Uh... secret, secret. Let's get together next time." Liu Jiabao was smart and suddenly stopped talking again.
I rubbed my temples and headed towards Jianghu Inn. The sunset was infinitely beautiful, and the whole inn was bathed in golden light, making it peaceful.
Uncle Fu was not here, and Ah Wu was lying on the counter dozing off. When he saw me coming in, he yawned and said, "Jianghu, are you okay?"
"Quite free?" I looked at the empty living room.
"Well, the boss said that Shopkeeper Liu will make money for us these days and let us have some free time. We will be busy after a while."
"Um... I want to find Xiao Mu, can you help me get in touch?"
Ah Wu suddenly became energetic: "I'll give it a try."
"Are you from Team Si too?"
Ah Wu didn't answer, smiled mysteriously, and went upstairs. This chapter has been completed!
