In the blink of an eye, it was dawn on the second day and the curfew in the royal city had not yet been lifted. People from the Imperial Guard took Wang Yi to the place where he had discovered the contact code and responded to it yesterday.
Of course, they would not stupidly stay at the street corner and wait. After looking around, several internal guards in casual clothes immediately hid around.
Several other internal guards took Wang Qi to a wine shop across the road and raised their hands to knock on the door.
The waiters in the wine shop all sleep in the shop at night and dare not open the door after being woken up by the banging on the door.
It's still dark and the curfew hasn't ended yet. Those who dare to wander around the city at this moment are either monsters or other people who can't be offended. The best way is to stay silent and wait for them to leave or be patrolled.
The soldiers drove away.
The inner guard knocked on the door several times, but when he saw that the person inside didn't respond, he immediately pumped up his blood and bumped his shoulder forward.
There was a "boom" and the door of the wine shop was knocked away.
The waiter in the wine shop was frightened. His first reaction was that the demon was about to break in and eat people. But when he took a closer look, he saw several burly men walking in from the door, and he hurriedly screamed: "beat, beat, beat."
Fighting... robbing..."
In his opinion, he most likely encountered the defeated soldiers who had fled back to make trouble.
However, the scream of the bartender stopped abruptly as soon as he left his mouth.
An invisible force strangled his neck, making him unable to speak.
Just when he thought he was dead, a few people broke into the wine shop and said, "The internal guards are working, and anyone who doesn't cooperate will be killed without mercy!"
When the bartender heard this, not only did he not relax, but he became even more desperate.
Encountering the inner guards is even more miserable than encountering demons and defeated soldiers.
Soon, the clothes of the bartender were stripped off and a guard put on a disguise.
As for the bartender, he was sent to the Imperial Guard House. Whether he can come out alive depends on his luck.
Several internal guards pushed the knocked-out door panel back shut, restoring everything to its original appearance, and Wang Yi was taken to a private room with a window facing the street on the second floor.
At this location, you can clearly see the location where the contact code is left.
Seeing that Wang Yi was a little nervous, the inner guard who brought him over patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you don't have to do anything else. We have people even keeping an eye on you. All you have to do is fight with him."
It’s just a matter of contacting the other party and making an appointment to meet them. Haven’t you done this kind of thing many times before? Relax.”
When Wang Qi heard this, he looked a little embarrassed at first, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and nodded and bowed.
The sky soon turned bright, and the wine shop opened at normal hours.
However, the old customers who came today found that the waiters in the wine shop had changed, and although the shopkeeper was still the previous shopkeeper, he did not greet the guests with a smile like before, but acted very nervous and even a little distracted.
An old customer asked curiously, and the shopkeeper apologized repeatedly, saying that a relative in his family was sick, so he was in a bad mood, but it did not arouse others' suspicion.
However, Wang Qi, who was in the private room on the second floor, was the one who had not been able to wait to meet her.
Just when he was panicking, a guard opened the door and walked into the private room, whispered a few words to the colleague who was guarding Wang Yi, and handed him a piece of paper.
The latter took the paper, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he asked nervously and uneasily: "Sir, what happened?"
"That group of people left a new password in another place. It seems that they must have been here before and saw the reply you left. I don't know if they realized that someone was following here, or if they were alert enough and changed it.
Leave a message somewhere." The inner guard replied, and then sneered disdainfully.
Seeing that it was not his fault, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then flattered him with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, no matter how clever these spies from the Xia Kingdom are, they can't match the intelligence of the adults in the Imperial Guard House.
"
The inner guard waved his hand and said with disdain in his tone: "It has nothing to do with us. No matter how alert they are, they never expected there to be a traitor like you."
Wang Yi's expression froze for a moment, and after a while, he finally smiled and said: "You are just joking, I just turned from the dark side to the bright side. To Xia Guo, I am indeed a traitor. But to our Qingtang, I am a big traitor."
Loyal minister."
The inner guard sneered and did not continue the topic. He handed the paper in his hand to Wang Yi and said with a bit of ridicule: "Great loyal minister, come and translate for us, what is the meaning of the secret language on this."
Even though Wang Qi was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it. He nodded and took the paper. He glanced at it and found that it was a secret code copied by Qingtang's inner guards.
Although some parts were copied out of shape, he didn't dare to complain. Fortunately, he could still translate it.
"The purpose of this secret message is to ask those who see the secret message to meet under the old crooked neck tree next to the official road ten miles north of the city."
"oh?"
When the inner guard heard this, he looked at each other and his colleagues beside him and laughed together.
"Isn't this a coincidence? We were still thinking about how to invite them out without arousing their suspicion. Unexpectedly, they actually fell into the trap themselves."
"Sir, is there anything weird about this?" Wang Qi asked worriedly.
However, several Qingtang guards in the room dismissed his worries.
"What could be weird? It's just that these Xia people are anxious to re-establish a spy network in our Qingtang. At most, your trip today will be in vain and exposed in front of these Xia people. Don't be afraid of running in vain, just make more trips
, the Xia people will naturally meet you, and then we will be able to catch them all. As for being exposed, there is no need to worry. After today, we will switch to secret contact, and we will contact you. You don’t have to take the initiative to come to us, so you don’t have to worry about being exposed.
Yes. If the Xia people are really spying on you, we can find them out, so you can rest assured."
Don't worry? I don't worry about your mother's legs. If the Xia people find out that I have rebelled, they will definitely kill me. These damn Qingtang barbarians only want me to work hard, but they don't care about my life or death.
Wang Qi really wanted to curse, but he didn't dare, let alone refuse the arrangement of the Qingtang inner guard. He could only bite the bullet and leave the wine shop. First, he walked around the royal city alone, and then left the city through the north gate.
The inner guards of Qingtang used illusions and blindfolds to cover up and followed from a distance.
Soon, Wang Yi arrived ten miles north of the city and found the old crooked neck tree next to the official road, but there was no one meeting here.
The people from the Qingtang inner guard have actually been here a long time ago.
Not only did they secretly set up a net, but they also searched the surrounding area secretly, but they also found no one.
Wang Qi didn't seem surprised by this situation. He walked around the old crooked neck tree. Sure enough, he saw a new row of codes, but he was told to turn west and walk another five miles to the river.
We met at a witch temple nearby.
Although this situation was expected by Wang Yi, he still couldn't help but cursed.
Wang Qi now just wants to assist the Qingtang inner guards and catch the people from Xia Kingdom quickly, so that he can be rewarded for his meritorious service, get the antidote, and completely get rid of the pain that he experiences every month, which is worse than death.
So after swearing, he immediately rushed towards the witch temple mentioned in the code.
At the same time, he did not forget to use coded gestures to remind the Qingtang guards hiding around, asking them to follow quickly.
