"Ah!" came the exclamation, as if someone had strangled the sound the moment it came out, and the exclamation became extremely short. The other one didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground with a thud.
Lu Ping and Su Tang went over and saw that two soldiers in the same uniforms of the Nine Patrol Division had been killed by Lu Ping's two flying sounds.
Su Tang frowned.
"They shouldn't be from the Jiumen Patrol Department, or this is just their superficial identity." Su Tang said. The Xuanjun Empire has fully understood Lu Ping's strength. Even if he still wants to do things secretly, it would be too naive and low-level to hand it over to the Nine Gate Patrol Division.
"It's not important." Lu Ping shook his head.
"oh?"
"Mo Lin and the others made an appointment with me. Once something like this happens, they will leave traces on me." Lu Ping said.
"That's it." Su Tang nodded. He was going to search these two people to see if they had any information, but he stopped after hearing Lu Ping's words. She understood what Lu Ping meant: to capture Mo Lin and the others, it didn't matter if they were from the Xuanjun Empire or some other force. Anyway, Lu Ping followed the traces left by Mo Lin and the others and chased them to save them.
"Here it is." In just a few words, Lu Ping had already discovered something behind a bush in the forest. The traces of the power of soul left here are exactly the method Mo Lin and Fang Yizhu agreed with him.
"Let's go." Following the directions of the traces, Lu Ping and Su Tang began to follow.
…
…
Inside Xuanjun City.
The ban brought silence to the whole city. The only people who could still move around in the city at this time were the few big figures who could ignore the strict prohibition, and they were the spies of the Xuan Army who were deliberately scattered in the city.
Each agent performs his or her own duties and monitors their respective jurisdictions. Any situation discovered will be reported through a unified channel step by step. The agents at the next level will then summarize and sort out the information sent from multiple parties.
Ren Ya is one of these spies. Just now he received an order from his superiors, and the surveillance of the entire city has temporarily come to an end.
Everyone knows why this wave of surveillance started. Now that it has finally been stopped, has Lu Ping been executed?
Ren Ya doesn't know.
Each spy has just one pair of eyes. They only know what they need to pay attention to, but they rarely know why they should pay attention. The intelligence that everyone obtains through secret investigation is limited to their own knowledge, and those who can aggregate large amounts of information from multiple parties are always those at a higher level. The higher the level, the richer and more comprehensive the intelligence resources at hand will naturally be.
Ren Ya is just one of the lowest-level secret agents, and it is not easy to become such a low-level spy. The secret agent has too many secrets and must be a reliable person. Besides, they monitor everything, so who will monitor the spies? This is a problem that can go on endlessly and never be solved.
Hence the current branch-like secret agent organizational structure. The information that a single secret agent can grasp is ultimately one-sided and narrow. Even if there is a leak, the damage will always be kept to a minimum.
It is extremely difficult to become a higher and thicker branch in such a branch structure. Ren Ya has been a secret agent for a long time. He wants to go further, but he doesn't even see the slightest hope. He can only obtain as much information as possible with his current limited identity.
The monitoring is currently suspended and no new instructions have been added. For them, the work has come to an end. However, the prohibition order has not been lifted yet, so even a secret agent cannot violate the prohibition order when he has not received a mission. Ren Ya quickly left the area he was responsible for and returned to his residence. After entering the house, he checked three times inside and outside: no one was following him, and no one sneaked into his room while he was away.
He went to the kitchen to get some cold dishes and leftovers, along with a cup of hot tea, and Ren Ya ate slowly. He was waiting for the ban to be lifted, but he didn't expect that he had to wait for half an hour.
His instinct told him that this was not normal. Even their spies had already evacuated, so why did the ban last for half an hour? Doesn't this half-hour ban restrict all spies like them? What is it that even spies like them have to hide?
Ren Ya left the house. Dressed in casual clothes, he was no different from an ordinary resident of Xuanjun City. Walking out of his alley, he saw that the street was gradually regaining its popularity. People were discussing today's accident while still running for their own survival.
Ren Ya went directly to a bathhouse he often went to on East Street. The bathhouse had just resumed business, but the water had been boiled early in the morning. Ren Ya took off his clothes, entered the misty bath, and quickly disappeared.
A few minutes later, Ren Ya had changed his clothes and appeared in a mansion along the Xiongjiang River. As he walked toward the backyard, everyone who saw him saluted.
Here, he is no longer the lowest secret agent in Xuanjun City. He was a member of the Xuanjun Department of the Assassin League, nicknamed Tianya. It is said that as long as he is the target of his sights, he will definitely find him even if he escapes to the ends of the earth. And his most famous assassination was actually completed on the rocky island called "Tianya" in the West Sea, and he has had such a nickname ever since.
Even such an outstanding Zhujian was only the lowest secret agent in the Privy Council of the Xuanjun Empire. The Assassin's League has penetrated the Xuanjun Empire's intelligence agencies with every possible intention, and it seems somewhat helpless.
Ren Ya, who came to the backyard, quickly came to the rockery by the lake and saluted the figure in front of him: "I've seen Fentou before."
The figure turned around and looked like an ordinary young man. This person's surname is Song and his given name is Yu. Being able to serve as the head of the Assassin's Alliance branch in the capital of the Xuanjun Empire is a testament to his ability. Hearing Ren Ya's greeting, he turned around and said with a smile, "Tianya is here."
"Yes." Ren Ya responded, and then his eyes fell on a woman standing next to their fantou in Xuanjun City, and his eyes lit up.
"Let's get to know each other, this is a fan of our Jialing tribe." Song Yu said.
Ren Ya hurriedly put away his previous expression of appreciating the beauty and gave a salute to Jialing Fentou.
The League of Assassins has a clear hierarchy. If it were one of her subordinates, Li Xiangjun might occasionally be more polite in order to win over people's hearts. But to people from other branches, even Zhujian, she didn't show any pretense at all and just nodded. Head down.
"Li Fentou came here after Lu Ping. What information do you have over there?" Song Yu said.
"After Lu Ping entered the city today, he fought all the way from Nanjiangkou to the Academy Supervisory Committee, and then said he went to the Protectorate. That's all the news I learned here." Ren Ya said.
"Lu Ping has left the city. How many people have seen it? When did Brother Tianya say this happened?" Li Xiangjun said disapprovingly.
"Lu Ping has left the city?" Ren Ya was greatly surprised, and then he heard Song Yu say to Li Xiangjun: "When Tianya breaks into the Privy Council, he must act according to the rules of Xuanjun's secret agents. So he may not know some information."
"When did Lu Ping leave the city?" Ren Ya asked.
"Less than half an hour ago." Song Yu said.
Less than half an hour ago, the secret agents had withdrawn, but the strict prohibition order had not been lifted. Ren Ya could only stay at home obediently, and then went straight here. It is no wonder that everyone outside Nanjiangkou saw that Lu Ping had left the city but did not know that he had left.
"The Nanjiangkou side has not taken any action against Lu Ping. The Jiumen Patrol Division and the Xuanjun Navy have received orders not to stop Lu Ping." Song Yu continued to explain the current situation to Tianya.
"How could this happen? Could it be that some agreement was reached?" Ren Ya said.
"I haven't received any news so far." Song Yu said.
In terms of infiltration in the Privy Council, only Ren Ya became a secret agent. However, in other ministries and departments, the Assassin Alliance's infiltration efforts were not small. Comparing the information sent by many parties, it can be seen that the Xuan Army seems to have reached a reconciliation with Lu Ping, but the reason is unknown.
"None of this is important anymore." Li Xiangjun suddenly said.
"Yes." Song Yu nodded and explained to Ren Ya: "Li Fentou has captured three of Lu Ping's companions, and will use this to threaten Lu Ping into falling into our trap. Waiting for you to come is because Prepare for a siege, this Lu Ping obviously has amazing strength."
Only then did Ren Ya realize that what the group wanted at this time was not the information from his Xuanjun spies, but only the fighting power of his Zhujian. But the road was straight into Xuanjun City, and in the end he left peacefully like this. If the strangeness in this was unimportant, Ren Ya really couldn't agree with it.
"With the hostages in hand, it won't be too difficult. It's just in case." Song Yu said with a smile. Li Xiangjun on the side also smiled, his beautiful face full of the joy of revenge. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a subordinate quickly ran into the backyard.
"Report to the two fans." The visitor is from the Xuanjun City branch, but he already recognizes Li Xiangjun, so he will not ignore this fan.
"Say." Song Yu said.
"The two Qingguos and Quegui who were waiting for Lu Ping at the mouth of Nanjiang River are both dead." The visitor said.
