Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Li Huaixin's soldiers came to the door of the Tiger Flag shop and beat the wooden door of the shop with their hands.
Although it was daytime, due to the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, there were not many people walking around on the street. Some shops with less important business were also closed. Only shops that were closely related to people's lives, like Midian, were still open to welcome customers.
"Here we come." A voice came from inside the shop.
Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard, and the sound of the wooden bolt behind the door being removed, and then the shop door was opened.
A man in shorts appeared behind the door. When he saw the person outside, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met the military master. I wonder what you do for the military master?"
The soldier stepped into the shop, looked around, and asked, "Where is your shopkeeper Li?"
"Our shopkeeper is in the backyard, I'll call you," the waiter said, and then walked to the backyard.
The soldier stood in the shop and did not follow him.
Not long after, shopkeeper Li quickly walked from the backyard to the shop in the front yard, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, I'm really sorry. I was just ordering goods in the backyard, and I neglected Mr. Jun."
"This is what my master entrusted to you." The soldier took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li took the letter and said with a smile: "I wonder if Sir General has any other instructions?"
As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeves and handed them over.
The soldier took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Your Excellency only asked me to hand over the letter to you, and didn't say anything else. However, I can remind you that you tiger-character flags should be careful."
After saying that, without waiting for shopkeeper Li to speak, he turned around and walked out of the shop.
Shopkeeper Li did not rush to read the letter, but walked outside the shop door, watched the soldier go away, and then returned to the shop.
The waiter on the side came forward and said: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by what the soldier said just now? Why does it sound like someone is going to do harm to our Tiger Flag?"
"Su Nang led his troops to attack, and they must be aiming at our Tiger Flag. It seems that Li Huaixin must have some inside information." Shopkeeper Li said, and took out a piece of letter paper from the envelope with his fingers.
He held the letter in his hand, opened it, and read the contents.
After reading it, he frowned deeply.
The guy next to me leaned over and read the contents on the letter.
The guy was from the Foreign Intelligence Service. He had learned to read and read the contents of the letter word for word.
"Shopkeeper, it seems Li Huaixin knows everything." The waiter said to shopkeeper Li.
The content of the letter was the same as the letter Li Huaixin had sent to Datong. They were all about the Tiger-Character Flag defrauding herdsmen of their wealth, attracting invasion from the North, and threatening the people of the Ming Dynasty to hand over the Tiger-Character Flag.
Shopkeeper Li frowned and said, "Something big is going to happen. It doesn't matter whether Li Huaixin knows about it now."
The guy next to me didn't understand for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
Shopkeeper Li did not explain to him, but said: "Take this letter, find a way out of the city, send the letter to Lingqiu, and give it to the boss."
As he spoke, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope and handed it to the clerk in front of him.
"Is the matter really that serious?" Seeing Shopkeeper Li's solemn tone, the clerk asked one more question.
Shopkeeper Li said: "This matter is very serious and affects the survival of our Tiger Flag. The letter must be delivered as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will find a way to go out of the city to deliver the letter now." The man nodded.
"Wait a minute." Shopkeeper Li called to the waiter, walked behind the counter, opened the drawer inside, took out a few ingots of silver and some loose silver, and said, "Bring this silver with you. You will definitely need to take care of it when you go out of the city."
The clerk was not polite, picked up the silver on the counter, put it in his arms, and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm leaving."
Shopkeeper Li nodded.
The boy left the shop with the letter and the money, entered the street, and soon disappeared from the street again.
Shopkeeper Li watched the waiter disappear before closing the shop door again.
There were no pedestrians on the street. Only when we were near the city gate were soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The man walked towards the city gate. When he was approaching the city gate, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.
"Gentlemen, please be accommodating. I'm here to see Boss Sun. I'm the nephew of his second uncle's third uncle." The man said to the soldiers who stopped him with a smile on his face.
One of the leading soldiers looked at the man in front of him and said, "I have seen you before. You are a man from the Tiger Flag."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also work in Tiger Flag." The man nodded repeatedly.
The soldier rubbed his chin with his fingers and said, "Even if I let you go, you won't be able to see Commander Sun. He is now on the wall, and you can't get up at all."
"Master, why don't you be a good man and do it to the end? Help call General Sun down." The man leaned closer to the soldier, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand.
The soldier lowered his head and glanced at the broken silver in his hand, showed a satisfied smile, and said: "You wait here, I will call you Boss Sun."
"Here you are, Mr. Laojun." The man bowed his hand to him again.
The soldiers climbed up the city wall and quickly called a general down from the wall.
When the waiter saw Mr. Sun, he hurried over, came to Mr. Sun, and whispered: "The shopkeeper asked me to go out of the city. Is there any way you can take me out of the city?"
Sun Bazhong is a member of the Tiger Flag and an outside line of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau developed by Shopkeeper Li.
Even though the commander-in-chief was a high-level military commander, the Ming army was short of pay for a long time. He lived a very ordinary life. He was only a little better than ordinary soldiers, but he was not as good as the soldiers and servants around the commander-in-chief.
"There are Northern prisoners outside the city. It's too dangerous to leave the city at this time. It's better to come back at night. It's easier to leave the city at night." Mr. Sun Ba said in a low voice.
The clerk shook his head slightly and said, "It's an urgent matter. I have to leave the city now. Besides, I also have some money with me that I can use for shopping."
As he spoke, he took out a ten-tael silver ingot and handed it into Mr. Sun's cuff.
Mr. Sun hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll find a way and try my best to arrange for you to leave the city. You wait here for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city wall.
After a short time, he came down from the city wall and stood in front of the man.
"How's it going? Can you arrange for me to go out of town?" the guy asked eagerly.
Mr. Sun nodded and said: "I have already made arrangements to send you down to the city in a hanging basket from the side wall. You can only rely on yourself on the way back."
"As long as you can leave the city." The man breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no shortage of places such as low hills and slopes outside the city. He believes that as long as he leaves the city, it will be difficult for Beilu to find his whereabouts.
Boss Sun said: "Come with me. Don't say anything when you get to the top of the city, and don't look around. Someone will send you out of the city."
The guy nodded.
