Chapter 390: Inn Night Talking About Silver Tickets)
"Hahaha, Xiao Tang, why did you run away halfway through your apology?"
Outside the Prince's Palace in Beidu, Hua Yuan'er had just been dragged out by Tang Ji and stopped to make fun of her.
Tang Ji took a few breaths. Originally, it was his fault that he bumped into the princess, but the girl looked at him infatuatedly. Of course he had to run. After all, he promised Ranran not to mess around outside.
He stopped thinking in his head and turned sideways to wait for Fang Wei to come out.
Soon after, the carriage was driving slowly on the streets of Beicheng. Because it was dark, there was a guard leading the horse in front, while Tang Ji and Hua Yuan'er sat in the coachman's seat.
"How did you get in touch with the King of Beito?"
Fang Wei's voice came from inside the carriage.
Hua Yuan'er glanced at Tang Ji, and then briefly told the whole story.
After listening, Fang Wei couldn't help but admire his intelligence and courage, and sighed: "No wonder the imperial court sent you here."
Then, he continued to ask: "The ambition of King Beidu has been exposed, what should we do next?"
Tang Ji didn't like the identity of a spy. On the surface, he dealt with it very naturally, but in reality, he had worries and fears. One night in the palace had made him exhausted physically and mentally. He closed his eyes tightly and leaned against the carriage, and replied calmly: "Go back."
Let’s finish exchanging information with Lao Su!”
Just like that, the three of them gradually became quiet, and no one spoke anymore.
...
Nearly half an hour later, everyone returned to the inn.
I don't know if it was because of the cooling down at night, but just squinting in the carriage for a short while made Tang Ji feel chills in his limbs. The first thing he did after coming back was to run to get some clothes and put them on, but he found Su Qing's room.
The lights were already on inside, and just as he was about to go over and knock on the door, the latter walked out.
"Lao Su, when will you come back?"
"A quarter of an hour ahead of you." Seeing that the door was closed, Su Qing glanced around a few times and said in a low voice: "I found a Star Division spy at the liaison office in the city, and the secret code left by the chief envoy.
Letter, I learned some news from it..."
Tang Ji raised his hand to interrupt his words, and then said: "Come into my room and talk."
At this moment, Hua Yuan'er, who had just changed clothes, quickly came over.
In the room, three people sat around the round table. Su Qing continued: "First of all, it is certain that Marquis Xiao Lin has been imprisoned by the King of Beidu, so the mysterious man who left you the letter did not lie. Secondly, the King of Beidu
He has at least four master-level masters under his command, one of whom may have reached the half-step master level."
"Half-step master?"
Tang Ji pursed his lips. It seemed that he was not very high. One month was still too soon. If it didn't work, he would take Lao Sun and tie up the King of Beidu!
"There's one more thing." Su Qing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Before, there was a force called the Holy Alliance that secretly assisted the King of Beidu, and the spies in Yingzhou City were also dealt with by them. In a few months
Before, my father took people to the camp, and they should have been stopped by those people on the way, but the strange thing is that they disappeared collectively not long after they helped the King of Beidu!"
"Holy Alliance?" Tang Ji suddenly became interested. There is actually a force that can stop Su Ling and the Star Guards?
"Hey, I know a little bit about this too." Hua Yuan'er, who was sitting aside and listening with great interest, suddenly said, "You should know about No Man's Land, right?"
But seeing Tang Ji's curious look on his face, he finally had no choice but to shake his head and explain patiently: "The No Man's Land is in the southwest of the junction of Luzhou in Jiang State and Ding'an in Ning State. It has been very chaotic there since a hundred years ago. First, the mountains
It was a gathering place for thieves and bandits. Later, criminals in the two countries would flee there. The famous villains in the world also settled there. There were also many masters and killers who lived in seclusion there. It can be said that anyone who entered
In the No Man's Land, half of my life has been handed over to the King of Hell. But ten years ago, a force suddenly emerged and unified the entire No Man's Land in one fell swoop. It was renamed the Holy Domain five years ago, and the Holy Alliance
The name only came out in the past few months."
Su Qing blinked silently and added: "It is said that there are so many masters in the Holy Alliance. The ten hall masters alone are enough to rival ten thousand armies. The Jiang State government had long ago designated them as a cult and sent troops to conquer them, but in the end they were defeated.
No one survived, and we even caught up with a master-level expert."
Tang Ji's eyes were a little dull. If the world is divided into an irregular "field", then Ningguo and Jiangguo correspond to the lower right and upper left grids respectively. Of course, the bordering area must be wider. As for the two countries, no one can
If you can't stand anyone, and you have a bad temper from time to time, you will definitely not allow a third-party force to be caught in the middle. But now this third-party force has not only survived, but is also gradually growing. This shows how terrifying this holy alliance is!
Thinking of this, his desire to build his own power deepened again.
Hua Yuan'er raised her hand and patted her chest: "Huh, fortunately everyone from the Holy Alliance has left, otherwise it would be better for the three of us to run away as soon as possible. In the face of absolute strength, it is useless no matter how thoughtful we are."
Tang Ji did not relax, and asked in confusion: "Why did they leave suddenly?"
Logically speaking, if the Jiang State army sent troops to attack the Holy Territory, then the people of the Holy Alliance should go to deal with Jiang State. Why did they come to Ning State to cause trouble?
Su Qing shook his head: "I don't know, this is the only content in the secret letter."
Hearing this, Tang Ji exhaled, without thinking any more, he shared what he heard at the royal banquet today: "...The King of Beidu has decided to rebel. We don't think we can."
Time is waiting for the imperial army, and action must be taken."
Hua Yuan'er lay on the table and played with her fingers: "Then what can we do now?"
Su Qing suddenly remembered something and quickly added: "The surviving spy had already been infiltrated into the death row before, but Marquis Xiao Lin didn't believe his identity, so he didn't say anything. He said he could arrange for us to go in and see the Marquis.
one side."
Tang Ji became a little suspicious: "Isn't that secret spy being incited to rebel?"
"In that case, if we run over, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap?" Hua Yuan'er added.
Su Qing shook his head: "Ordinary soldiers may rebel, but spies would rather die than betray the imperial court!"
Tang Ji sneered. He no longer had so much trust in Xingchen Division. After all, if there hadn't been a traitor, all the spies in the city would not have been wiped out. But since Su Qing was so sure, he had no reason not to believe it.
, then said: "Okay, then you and Mr. Hua will go there. I don't know martial arts, so I won't cause any trouble to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the window facing the street was blown open by the wind.
Hua Yuan'er shuddered and closed the window while asking: "Old Su, is this reliable? It's a death row. Can your people sneak in?"
"Yes!" Su Qing nodded firmly.
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er had no choice but to compromise and nodded: "Okay, then I will risk my life to accompany you!"
Just like that, the three of them chatted for a while, and suddenly they heard a knock on the door.
"Master Tang!"
Hearing Fang Wei's voice, Tang Ji immediately replied: "The door is unlocked, come in."
Soon, Fang Wei walked in, holding a yellowed note in his hand: "Who posted this piece of paper outside?"
