Bang! Bang! Bang——

In the city, the watchman sounded the gong, and the heat and humidity of the day seemed to have subsided slightly. In the courtyard on the side of Huaiyunfang, the carriage setting up the stall had returned, and warm yellow lights lit up in the room.

After bringing the cold vegetables and snow-soaked water he bought into the room, Qu Longjun walked out of the room and went to the yard to continue packing things on the horse and carriage. Looking back, he saw two figures still in the room.

Confrontation at the dining table inside.

The young man named Zuo Xingzhou, who wanted to put his whole body into the carriage and followed the two back in vain, should be old acquaintances with Xiaolong, but he seemed carefree, but in fact he was not easy to fool.

When the talent came back here, the other party reached out to express affection and said, "I heard that my brother's name is Long Aotian? What a talented person..." But his eyes were constantly thinking and examining, and it seemed that he was not a good person.

In the past, she also knew how to observe words and emotions, and her mind was actually clear. Xiaolong's ability to take the other party back to his "home" showed that he was indeed a companion he had known in the southwest, and based on the other party's last name, he could know that this left

Zhoudang was one of the "seeds" sent to the southwest by the wealthy Zuo family.

But looking at Xiaolong's appearance, there was a mixture of cordiality and wariness between the two of them. She didn't ask any more questions, and just found an excuse to come out and not argue too much with Zuo Xingzhou.

According to Xiaolong, his father once swept the floor in Mr. Ning's office, which made him a core disciple of the Huaxia Army - this statement has many questions and can also bring up many topics for discussion, but this

At that time, Qu Longjun didn't care much about these things.

She led the Zaohua horse to the stable and happily called "Little Flower" a few times, waiting for the horse's reaction to offset the wrong influence of Xiaolong's call of "Bald Donkey" during the day. At this time, the two people in the room

People were already noisy.

"There's something wrong with you."

"There's something wrong with you..."

"His name is Long Aotian?"

"Aren't you also called Zhou Xing? It's none of your business...why do you want to be an undercover agent, you piece of shit?"

"Of course that's confidential. You, you, you... you suddenly ran over from the southwest... why did you run over here?"

"Of course it's also confidential. I have a major mission..."

"Make you m..."

"Okay, if you dare, scold louder -"

"I have the guts. If you ask me to scold you, I won't scold you."

"cut……"

The two of them talked a few rubbish words and poured tons and tons of snow and water from bamboo tubes. Both of them had unruly and unhappy faces. But as friends who know the basics, after living for a while, they may have realized that this attitude is not effective.

What's the meaning? Zuo Xingzhou moved the stool over and knocked on the table.

"Seriously, why did you come here? This matter is big or small. You can't understand why I won't leave."

"Humph." Ning Ji sneered, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, you're here anyway... let's exchange."

"...in exchange for what?"

"Your affairs, and..." Ning Ji flexed his fingers, "Also, even if I tell you about my affairs, you must keep it secret and don't let it out to me... If you can agree, we will talk.

"

"I can't agree." Zuo Xingzhou looked solemn. The moment the other party patted the table and was about to leave, he reached over and grabbed the other party. "Don't get angry. It's not like you don't understand. According to the rules, I must report it to the superior.

, but I can promise to only tell one person... As long as nothing happens to you when you come here, no one can afford it. Now that I have seen you, I must make a record, you lunatic!"

Ning Ji then sat down again: "Zuo Wenhuai?"

Zuo Xingzhou rolled his eyes: "Zuo Wenxuan."

Ning Ji shrank back: "Damn it, you don't know about his mother-in-law and mother-in-law. She was a nerd in those days. Who the hell..."

"What can I do about the person your boss elected? I'm not happy with him either. We, tough guys from the martial arts school, never get along with him."

"What kind of tough guy are you from the martial arts sect? Look at how arrogant you are. I've told you before that your Zuo family is inherently deficient, and even if you practice martial arts, you won't be able to do anything..."

"What do you mean, you... forget it, we martial arts practitioners should not fight among themselves, okay? We must unite. Anyway, I have to report the matter to Zuo Wenxuan, and no matter what you think of him

, Zuo Wenxuan is like a mother-in-law when he talks truth, but he is usually strict with his words. You have to admit this, right?"

Ning Ji thought for a while and nodded: "...Okay."

Zuo Xingzhou laughed. He crossed his arms and leaned forward: "Then... tell me, what's going on?"

Ning Ji glanced at him: "It's agreed, exchange."

"I swear, I will never cheat." Zuo Xingzhou raised a hand, "And there is nothing bad to say about me. You all know that I am undercover. If I cheat, you can ruin my affairs at any time."

"Okay, anyway, I want to ask you for help." Ning Ji nodded, then glanced outside the room, and then muttered in a low voice and depressedly, "I was tricked by a woman..."

"What?"

"Being tricked by a woman!" Ning Ji stared at him, gritting his teeth and speaking every word.

"Ouch!"

Zuo Xingzhou's eyes and mouth were opened in a round shape. For a moment, he felt quite surprised that he had caught something good this time. Of course, Ning Ji understood the meaning of his expression and reached out to point to Zuo Xingzhou.

He stretched out his hands and held his fingers.

"Come on, no, don't be angry, let's talk..." He gave Ning Ji another chopstick to eat, "Come on, big brother, eat the food."

"If word of this gets out, I'll kill you!"

"Ah, kill me, kill me, you say it first..."

"Last year I met a teacher named Yu Xiaoer..."

…

It was already midnight, the lights were flickering, and Ning Ji's muffled voice rang in the room. Under the lights, Zuo Xingzhou was telling Zuo Xingzhou the bizarre stories he had encountered since last year. After hearing Yu Xiaoer's words

During the incident, Zuo Xingzhou was still eating with some gloating, but when it came to running away from home, he sighed slightly.

Next, Ning Ji talked about what he had seen along the way, from Dai Mengwei to Tongshan, and then to the huge changes in the Jiangning Fair Party. Ning Ji hid the details about himself, and spoke in a complicated and tragic way. Zuo Xingzhou

They all couldn't help but sigh: "You have really traveled thousands of miles when you came out this time."

"Really." Ning Ji raised his chin, "It's not like you. I originally thought that your family of two or five had stolen something and were prospering when they returned to Fuzhou. But when I came over to see it, it was a complete mess. I thought

You piece of shit can lead troops if you come here..."

"What kind of soldiers are you bringing? Do you really think that if you go to the Chinese Army and hang out, you can compare with General Yue and General Han? We don't have many people coming from the southwest. The only work we can do for the time being is to build a framework and spread ideas...

…Then I’m not very good at this thing…”

"So you came here to be an undercover agent?"

"Social survey, you understand?" Zuo Xingzhou frowned and took a bite of the cold dish, "The southeast and southwest have different problems and need to pay attention to different points. After the officials arrived in Fujian, they brought a large number of refugees from other places.

, the whole situation is almost the same as when the previous dynasty first arrived in Lin'an. When there are more people, the outsiders and the locals will have friction and compete for each other's interests. The locals will want to drive the outsiders out. Many joints in this process may cause

Big mess..."

He paused: "So after I came to Fuzhou, Zuo Wenxuan told me that we can't just sit high in the temple and talk nonsense, we also have to see clearly what's going on below. So I was sent out,

Mainly, I follow a group of refugees from other places, and occasionally help them gain territory, leaving a good reputation, which can be useful at critical times... Hey, do you think this is similar to the feeling Mr. Ning had in the Secret Investigation Department?

?I think when the time comes, Fuzhou will have a Secret Investigation Department sooner or later..."

"With the Secret Investigation Department, you are not the boss. You are probably that bitch Zuo Wenxuan." Ning Ji muttered, "So, what happened this time?"

"...Things are a little troublesome this time." On such an occasion, Ning Ji had already explained the reason why he came all the way. Zuo Xingzhou sighed and stopped talking, "The social conditions in Fujian are different from those in the southwest.

There is a lot of arable land and poor communication, so the situation of clans and village sages clinging to groups is very serious. You must have seen this all the way here, right?"

"Yes." Ning Ji nodded, "I saw them killing the 'yellow dog'."

"Well, that's easy to explain." Zuo Xingzhou also nodded, "After the officials came to Fujian, they had to centralize power, count the external population, clear the land, and collect taxes. In this way, the various local clans

, which was actually very unpleasant. We will not go into the necessity and process of this matter. In short, with strong troops and strong horses, we have now captured several big cities along the coast, as well as Fuwen, Fuou, Fupu,

Fuyan, these are the roads in the mountains, but the more difficult they are, the more fierce the fight will be between the two sides..."

"Last year, Qing Shipping eliminated a group of pirate families that were entrenched in Fujian. At the end of the year, the officials personally lured the snakes out of their holes and eliminated several large households with evil intentions. It sounds like they won the battle head-on, but the alliance behind the scenes has also been broken.

Formed. No, when the typhoon started at the end of April, we suffered a big loss in Houguan County. The most troublesome thing is that it’s just the beginning..."

He talked about a series of situations after the typhoon, including Chen Shuangran's plan and the subsequent confrontation and slander against the disaster relief officers and soldiers from various places.

"The Chen Shuangran incident has made a big fuss." Zuo Xingzhou said, "The officials have lost face, and many young people in the army can't swallow this breath. Zuo Wenhuai and the others have adopted many positive response strategies, but they also

We can't just fight head-on... I was originally in Putian to track down clues about the "killing of yellow dogs" you mentioned, but Zuo Wenxuan called me back and said that if there are one, there will be two, and these people took advantage of the confrontation.

, I’m afraid there will be big moves next, and then we put it all together to see if we can send me inside them to inquire about some of the situation like the Secret Investigation Department did before.”

"That's why Yue Yun from the Yue family discussed it with you..."

"Yeah." Zuo Xingzhou nodded, "Yue Yun and Yue Yinping are very skilled in martial arts, but their identities are too obvious. They came back from Jiangning last year and participated in a competition in Fuzhou City. Half of Fuzhou Green Forest knew them.

, what should I do? I have to let them keep a low profile and come to chase me. We can fight more realistically and get a little injured, so that I can be a good name in the future. It's a pity. It's a scheduled thing. Isn't it just because I met you?

It’s mixed.”

"Then you won't pretend not to see it!"

"roll!"
