The waiter groped around Xiang Chong's chest and took out a waistband. On it were five characters written clearly - "School Affairs Review Officer!"
"Clang..."
The iron token fell from the waiter's hand to the ground, making an ear-splitting sound.
"How is it appropriate to panic? You have been working in this business for three years, how can you be so flustered when something happens?" The shopkeeper scolded the waiter, and then personally stepped forward to pick up the token on the ground.
"Clang..."
The token fell from the shopkeeper's hand again. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the unconscious Xiang Chong on the ground in disbelief.
The top leader of the school affairs office is the school affairs office's order, followed by the school affairs office's left and right doctors. Next is the school affairs office's chief, and then the school affairs anti-smuggling lieutenants, school affairs detectives, and school affairs officers at the same level.
The Jianji Wei, the School Affairs Zhechong Wei, and the School Affairs Jiyue Wei. As can be seen from their names, the functions of these School Lieutenants are different.
School officials, school officials, and school officials are the lowest front-line personnel.
And this shopkeeper, who has been working in the school affairs office for nearly ten years, is nothing more than a school secretary.
In a secret espionage agency like the School Affairs Bureau, subordinates will never be able to see the face of their superiors, let alone their names. Moreover, they have a special way of transmitting information.
This shopkeeper has been working for ten years, but he only receives orders and has never seen even one of the school officials!
Picking up the token on the ground, the shopkeeper studied it carefully, "It has the same forging process as our token, and even the carved patterns are exactly the same. But this token is more refined than ours."
The waiter next to him came up and said, "What do you mean, sir, who is this gentleman lying on the ground?"
The shopkeeper turned back to glare at him and cursed angrily, "How the hell should I know?"
Then he turned to look at Xiang Chong on the ground, "Let's take these people to the room and arrange them first. We're not going to imprison them. We'll wait for them to go to bed."
"promise."
After several waiters carried the person away, the shopkeeper stroked his beard and frowned.
"This group of people? Hiss! Are they from the north? Judging from their behavior just now, they are a bit too radical and deliberately artificial."
"Furthermore, as an editor, he is so young and so helpless? But the token on his body... is really strange."
After thinking for a long time, the shopkeeper couldn't figure out whether Xiang Chong's identity was true or false.
When Xiang Chong woke up, the shopkeepers around the bed curtain looked at him with smiles.
Facing the shopkeeper's gaze, Xiang Chong said nothing, but the shopkeeper stood up and bowed to Xiang Chong, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao Zengchuan from the School Affairs Bureau, pays my respects!"
"Hmm, eh?" Xiang Chong, who was about to answer, suddenly realized something was wrong. Didn't this guy ever doubt himself?
"Are you tired of living? How dare you lie to me." Xiang Chong said displeasedly, staring at Zeng Chuan.
"What do you mean by this, sir?"
Touching his chest, Xiang Chong did not answer his question, "Where is my token?"
Zeng Chuan respectfully handed over the editor's token, "It's here."
Xiang Chong lifted the quilt and went to the ground while grabbing the sign, "I will report this to the governor after I return to Xudu."
Standing by the window, Xiang Chong looked at the wind chime on the opposite window sill. He calmed down and continued, "Don't speculate on your intentions. You are not qualified yet."
"My official position is the editor-in-chief. You should know what I am here to do. Ma Jun and Guan Qiuxing are the people named by the Prime Minister. Lord Man Chong has ordered that they must be brought back to Xudu."
With that said, he turned to Xiang Chong and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zeng Chuan met Xiang Chong's gaze and looked at him without any sign of weakness, "Sir, I did not receive an order from the school affairs office, so I cannot hand this person over to you. Please forgive me."
"You!" Xiang Chong looked angry, and then he frowned and said, "That's all, don't you just want an order?"
"The birds on the green hills are returning north."
Zeng Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he bowed his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I'm just being a little more cautious. I've met your lord, Ji Chang."
Xiang Chong pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, but in fact, the clothes on his back were wet with sweat, "It doesn't matter, you are doing it as a routine, but I tend to hold grudges. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to get a promotion in the next ten years! "
Xiang Chong's appearance was no different from the dandy's willful behavior in the restaurant just now.
The password just now was the password used by the school office to kidnap Ma Jun and the two men this time. This was given by the maid, but Xiang Chong and the others didn't know if everyone had this password. So far, they can only take risks. Tried it.
Even now, Xiang Chong is not sure whether he succeeded, let alone whether this guy is called Zeng Chuan or Ji Chang.
"I have arranged a carriage outside the city to take Ma Jun and Guanqiu Xing with me. We will set off immediately and return to the Central Plains via the Shu Road!"
"Leaving today?"
"Um?"
"Sir, I will go and get ready later."
After Ji Chang exited, Xiang Chong looked at the conversation just now in the room, wondering if he had made any mistake.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiang Chong suddenly stood up, then quickly walked to the window and waved.
The wind chime on the opposite side was immediately shaken!
With the ringing of the wind chimes, Duan Kun led the Jin Yiwei to surround the place!
Seeing the dense crowd of people, Xiang Chong gritted his teeth and jumped off the second floor.
"Master Duan." Xiang Chong, who had jumped out of the window to escape, ran up to Duan Kun and said, cupping his hands.
Xiang Chong told Duan Kun the conversation just now. Duan Kun smiled and said, "You are still too young. You were deceived by him. He has been leading you by the nose."
Xiang Chong nodded in agreement, "I don't know if this guy is called Zeng Chuan or Ji Chang. He does have some skills."
"Okay, you go and rest first."
"promise."
From Xiang Chong's words, Duan Kun had already confirmed that Ma Jun and the others were inside, otherwise the shopkeeper wouldn't have taken such a desperate risk.
"Come in!"
"promise!"
Duan Kun gave an order, and the Jinyi Guards broke in through the door. Inside, Ji Chang led his men to wait in the hall.
In front of them were eight heads! They were all brought by Xiang Chong! They had knives and even a few crossbows in their hands!
"kill!"
Facing the many guards in uniform, these people took the lead in charging!
"Except for the shopkeeper, shoot to death!"
"call out……"
"Pfft..."
Compared with equipment, Jingchu's local battle is no better than yours, so why fight? Liu Cong surrendered as soon as possible.
Soon, a group of Jinyi guards killed all of them. The shopkeeper lost an arm and was held by his hair and pressed to the ground.
Duan Kun squatted in front of him and asked, "How did you figure out Xiang Chong? Also, I'm curious, is your name Zeng Chuan or Ji Chang?"
Ji Chang sneered and said, "My name is Zeng Chuan. It's just that Xiang Chong is smart. Besides, the code words for each level of the school affairs office are different. He is too anxious."
Duan Kun stood up and looked around at the soldiers in uniform, "Listen and learn! Drag them out and kill them!"
In Zeng Chuan's disbelieving look, Duan Kun stepped forward and grabbed his chin, "Don't look at me like that. I'm sure Ma Jun and I are here. It's a pity that you didn't take them as hostages. We are all doing this."
