Under the pounding rain!
Although the temperature in the air did not drop much, it made people feel much cooler.
The originally gloomy sky became much less hot because of the heavy rain that came again.
Tokyo city,
Because of the heavy rain, no one could be seen on the street, but a lot of rainwater gathered into a river, instantly filling everything with water.
The heavy rain caused people stranded everywhere to watch the heavy rain without any excitement. Because the water level in Tokyo is extremely low, if heavy rains continue, many places may be flooded.
In a three-story pavilion, a small window was open, facing the palace not far away.
This is a restaurant with a very high loft, called Xingwang Building. The first and second floors here are dining areas. Although the third floor has an attic, it is not open to the public because it is usually used for storing sundries and accommodation.
In this era, normal buildings could not be higher than the palace. But the seemingly highest point of this restaurant is almost as high as the city tower.
This restaurant is relatively famous in Tokyo. It is said that it can provide the best wine and the best ingredients, so food is naturally the best choice. It is one of the most famous places in Tokyo.
In addition, the third floor is not open to the public, so no one is usually active, making it relatively quiet here. The overall height of the restaurant also just avoids the regulations, so it can be regarded as one of the rare exceptions in Tokyo.
At this time, in a restaurant called Xingwang Building, a small street-facing room on the third floor, the windows were fully opened inwards. There were a few people standing by the window here, looking at the majestic and magnificent palace opposite despite the heavy rain.
"How's the situation over there?"
Ji Hongchang's expression was relatively calm. Due to the needs of the war and the sudden changes in the current situation in the Central Plains, he had rushed from Liaocheng Prefecture to Tokyo City.
As the first leader from Lingnan sent to the Central Plains for development, he established the famous Bailang Village in the Central Plains. Like Guo Jing in Chu Di, he has developed relatively smoothly!
The reputation of the White Wolf King can be said to be well-known far and wide. Although it can be regarded as a dragon that has seen its beginning but not its end, the establishment of the Liaocheng Prefecture base is the best proof of his ability.
Although the court has not publicly wanted him, he sticks to his behavior. At least we got reliable information. The people below were afraid that Emperor Guo Rong would be angry if he found out about the incompetence of local governance. Even if some paper cannot contain the fire, it is still a helpless act for these people! After all, a team like Ji Hongchang could come and go as easily as the wind. If Ji Hongchang caused another disturbance that day, it would only be a temporary and deliberate concealment.
As Ji Hongchang, who is dedicated to development, he is naturally happy to do so. After all, the growth of any force takes time. He had just established a foothold near Liaocheng Mansion. A mobile unit suddenly had a fixed base. This was originally a very dangerous thing. But the Central Plains court gave itself the opportunity to develop, which is undoubtedly a great thing!
This time when he came to Tokyo, in order to successfully change his identity, Ji Hongchang did not modify himself at all. The advantage of growing his beard was that he did not have to worry about some people suddenly recognizing him.
With three long beards and a brocade robe, he looks exactly like a wealthy man. However, his dark complexion can still make people feel that he is not an idle person.
Especially the inadvertent calmness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows exudes a proud and domineering air. Of course, it can also be understood as being taciturn, or speaking without restraint!
"Back to the general! At present, my subordinates have sent people to find out the rumors in the market. As expected, they came from Wang Zhengzhong. This person is the biggest breakthrough at present. Although he does not have contact with others, his identity It can only be targeted at three people!" A voice immediately responded from behind, and Ji Hongchang did not look back, because the attic was filled with senior members of the secret party in Tokyo City, all of whom were trustworthy intelligence officers.
"The emperor sent people to surround Xiangguo Temple this morning. It seems that he is going to take action. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yongde actually sent people to relieve the siege!" This is a young man, the person who just replied to Ji Hongchang. See With his somewhat experienced demeanor and his green robe of high rank, he turned out to be Dong Jie from Liaocheng Prefecture.
He was a young and promising talent when he worked as a clerk in Liaocheng Prefecture. However, due to some matters, he was fought over by the secret party and developed into a rare official party member in Liaocheng Prefecture.
Later, due to the development of the secret party, the need for multiple layers of connections to collect intelligence, and Ji Hongchang's deliberate operation for him, he was actually transferred to Tokyo. As one of the few blue wolves in White Wolf Village, Dong Jie's importance is self-evident!
"As expected!" Hearing what Dong Jie said, a knowing smile appeared on Ji Hongchang's face: "This Wang Zhengzhong is the biggest breakthrough, so without alerting the enemy, we have to control what he is saying first!" .
In the past year, he has led a group of secret party members to develop in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he has established a firm foothold. Therefore, Ji Hongchang has more confidence when making decisions!
While looking after the party members headed by Xue Lang, he developed Bailang Village in an orderly manner, constantly consolidated and improved the role of party members, and even established a base in Liaocheng Prefecture. Not to mention the emperor of Lingnan gave the highest praise to the establishment of this base area, even Ji Hongchang himself gradually felt something!
Nowadays, the state capitals near Liaocheng Prefecture are all occupied by Bailang Village. Because Bailang Village adheres to the principle of not disturbing the people, it has the support of the majority of people. Coupled with the fact that the nearby area is sparsely populated, everything is relatively safe!
Although the imperial court has not sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the people at present, Ji Hongchang also knows that if the development of Liaocheng Prefecture does not turn around, there will be a huge crisis.
Because several Jiedushi in the surrounding area were eyeing him, the reason why he did not send anyone to destroy him was not simply because his wolf soldiers were powerful, but the most important point was that no one wanted to be the first to waste his strength!
Of course, Ji Hongchang received a secret report from Prince Xing's Mansion, which was a secret order issued by the emperor himself. The development in the Central Plains over the past year is just for this month's action in Tokyo City.
As a qualified shadow and an excellent intelligence officer, Ji Hongchang has always adhered to his own principles.
Because of the instructions conveyed above, regardless of success or failure, we must use all our strength regardless of the circumstances and act in accordance with the instructions of Prince Xing's Mansion, so Ji Hongchang hurried over and took charge personally in Tokyo City.
"Zhang Yongde, a good gentleman, who did he send to stop Guo Rong's actions? Doesn't he know his situation?" Ji Hongchang suddenly felt a little funny, because the intelligence showed that Guo Rong had been investigating Zhang Yongde.
Zhang Yongde should obviously know this, but he seems not to pay much attention to all this. Is he really not afraid of death, or that Guo Rong will not touch him?
But now that he heard that he was acting like this, Ji Hongchang suddenly seemed to have thought of something!
Is Zhang Yongde stupid?
Won't!
He is definitely a smart guy!
Why did he do this?
Because he is as wise as he is foolish!
He understands that Guo Rong is wary of him. A person who regards himself as an enemy should understand himself better than himself!
Because he understood this, Zhang Yongde also admitted that he had no hope of sitting on Dabao, so instead he acted according to his own character at this moment! This is the real Zhang Yongde, this is the Zhang Yongde that Guo Rong knew at the beginning!
So Zhang Yongde came, and he was fearless because at this moment, he had no distracting thoughts.
He clearly knew that the emperor wanted to suppress the monks of Xiangguo Temple, but he still took the initiative to intervene. Wasn't this taking the initiative to cause too much trouble for himself?
Not to cause trouble for yourself, but to use your own abilities to solve troubles for others!
"The funny thing is, this person is actually Liu Guangyi!" Dong Jie obviously knew Liu Guangyi, because the secret party's mission in Tokyo City was to collect information on various officials and generals of the imperial court. As Dong Jie, who once served as the main leader of Tokyo City, he naturally understands Liu Guangyi's true identity! But he obviously didn't understand Zhang Yongde. When he saw Ji Hongchang also laughed, he couldn't help but agree with him!
"Liu Guangyi!" Ji Hongchang's eyes flashed suddenly. He was a talent trained by Ghost Shou Shiwu.
At that time, he could only be said to be a spy, or a chess piece living in the dark. However, after receiving Liu Jixing's advice and promotion and entrusting him with important tasks. He has undoubtedly completely transformed and is now a spy leader with extremely advanced thinking.
Just hearing that this person was Liu Guangyi, he immediately thought of something. Looking at the excited Dong Jie, it seemed that the sound of rain outside had become sweeter!
"What a deep scheming, what a long-term arrangement! This person is indeed the boss's rival!" Ji Hongchang actually murmured to himself. He had always had some thoughts about Liu Jixing letting him come to Tokyo City.
Because Liaocheng Mansion is now occupied by me, as long as it is managed well, it is very likely that it will be able to stand on its own. Aren’t the warlords in various places successful by using this method? Even without the support of Prince Xing's Mansion, Ji Hongchang felt that he would still have some capital.
But Liu Jixing revealed a little bit to him, saying that Guo Rong would soon return to the court, and then the city of Tokyo would be in chaos.
Although he was half-convinced that Liu Jixing wanted him to come over and muddy the waters, Ji Hongchang still thought Liu Jixing was too willful at first, but he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he only hurried to Tokyo City when Guo Rong returned to the court.
Unexpectedly, Guo Rong had just arrived in Tokyo at the end of the month and within a day or two of the beginning of the month, Guo Rong would actually come back to Tokyo. This made Ji Hongchang, who had always been full of confidence, question himself for the first time.
With the constant updates of information every day, Ji Hongchang almost respected Liu Jixing like a god. He glanced at the people behind him and said: "Pay close attention to Wang Zhengzhong's actions, and report changes to Xiangguo Temple at any time! And, regardless of all sacrifices, get some updates in the palace immediately. You must not be blind to the elephant, and ultimately miss the opportunity!"
Everyone behind him hugged his fists in response! (To be continued...)
