Chapter 419: Malice from the Internal Service Captain
Hearing the conversation between Gao Ning and the shopkeeper, the nine people present were stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Soon they were all taken to a private room, and not long after, a slightly fat middle-aged man came in.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man got straight to the point, stared into Gao Ning's eyes, and asked the most critical question directly.
Gao Ning said slowly: "Yinren Town, Captain Gao Ning."
The middle-aged man nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to the other party. Obviously Gao Ning's answer just now was consistent with the information he received.
"Captain Gao, this is Qingchuan County. Look first. I'm going to be on guard outside." As he said this, he cupped his hands and left the private room.
Qi Chengcheng stared at the letter in Gao Ning's hand and murmured, "I thought we were at a black shop? It turns out it's our Yinren stronghold!"
Linley glanced at him with some contempt and whispered: "Idiot!"
The funny boy stared back and muttered: "Fifty taels of silver for one night, does this inn provide any special services? Isn't it formal?"
Yi Xifeng ignored him, looked at the interior decoration of this elegant room, and murmured: "From the current point of view, it is indeed not very formal!"
Zhao Long nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is the salary list organization's base outside Luoye County. It's very safe." After hearing what he said, everyone understood what had just happened.
Obviously Captain Gao Ning's coquettish operation really shocked a few of them, but it does make sense to insist that he was correcting the code. After all, no one will bargain if the price drops higher and higher!
"Captain Gao, what is this letter about?" Wang Bodang asked aloud. He is one of the three strongest people among the ten people on this trip. Naturally, I am more concerned about the details of this salary list announcement.
Everyone set out from the northern camp of Yinren a few days ago and learned that the goal of this mission was to "visit the Qingyun Sect." However, in the past few days, everyone also knew that there were undercurrents in Luoye County, especially Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao in the County Zaifu. A great battle in China.
Although the rumors from the outside world were very evil, from the letters sent later, it can be felt that a new big move is brewing in Yinren Town. So this time, the first thing everyone did when entering Qingchuan County was to report to the base of the salary list, because everyone knew that their mission was likely to change.
"Our mission objectives have changed!" Gao Ning said in a deep voice.
Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Captain Gao spread out the letter, and everyone gathered around it.
After half a cup of tea, everyone looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
"We are divided into two teams, one team goes to Qingyun Sect, and the other team goes to Xiaoyuan Academy?" Qi Chengcheng murmured to himself.
Obviously, Taobing didn't understand the purpose of this change. Fortunately, Gao Ning had already begun to explain:
"When I returned to the village to take over this task, I had been in Qingchuan County for nearly ten years and had been engaged in intelligence work in this area."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked at first. They were secretly wondering before that there were less than 200 people guarding Tieyi in the whole Yinren Town. They didn't dare to say that they knew all of them, but they must know all the captain-level experts. But this new leader, Captain Gao, has never been seen or even heard of.
Fortunately, along the way, Captain Gao, whether it was fighting in the field or dealing with temptations from various forces, was extremely skillful, and he also made many young girls recognize his strength. But no one expected that Captain Gao had been engaged in espionage operations before.
"Believe me, it's not because I, Gao Ning, am so good that Yinren's superiors asked me to come back to lead the team, but because you are important enough!" the man said sincerely.
"The nine of you here are already not weak in strength, and are considered elites among the guards. However, like Xifeng, Zhao Long, and Bodang, the strength of the three of you has already reached the captain level. What's even more difficult is that, You are young enough! Therefore, you will be the hope of the entire Yinren." Gao Ning looked at the nine teenagers in front of him and said sincerely.
"Are you saying that our completion this time was actually done by Yinren's superiors who wanted to train us and appointed us to complete it?" Yi Xifeng is an adult after all, so naturally he is more interested in these machinations than his companions. Understand faster.
"Whether it counts as training, I don't know. But as long as everyone can complete the task, the harvest will be full." The man smiled bitterly and gave a very vague concept.
Next, the nine people were divided into groups. Five people, Zhao Long, Li Xintian, Zhong Lingxi, Lin Fenghuo, and Qi Chengcheng, were sent to Xiaoyuan Academy. But Yi Xifeng, Wang Bodang, Wu Xiaoxiao, and Lin Lei still went to the Qingyun Sect.
Yi Xifeng was a little dissatisfied with this group. After all, Li Xintian was not in the same group with him, which made him very annoyed. Even if he was asked, he would go to Xiaoyuan Academy.
However, this proposal was directly rejected by Gao Ning, and the reason was very simple. This grouping takes into account the balance of strength among the nine people. Zhao Long, Wang Bodang, and Yi Xifeng cannot be on the same team, and the one among the three of you who leads the team alone will naturally have multiple teammates.
Moreover, the more direct reason is that the grouping of this operation is one of the mission requirements. In other words, the salary list was arranged before they set off.
"Arrange missions and team up in advance? The salary list is also in charge! Why haven't you heard of it before?" Zhong Lingxi frowned and asked in confusion.
Gao Ning grinned and added: "Of course the salary list organization does not care about team formation. After all, only Guard Tieyi knows the cooperation between the Guard Tieyi members, so this established team list is submitted by Guard Tieyi of?"
"Guard Iron Clothes? Did you, Captain Gao, submit the grouping application?" At this time, Li Xintian asked with a frown.
The man shook his head and said, "I am directly in charge of leading the team. The issue of team allocation is arranged by the internal team."
As soon as these words came out, a person immediately popped up in Yi Xifeng's mind. He was a young man wearing a maroon cloak. He was the Zhong family who was in the northern camp that day because Zhong Lingxi had some conflicts with Yi Xifeng. Children.
If the fair boy remembers correctly, that person should be called "Zhong Rui"!
"Is it him?" Yi Xifeng's face turned a little unkind. In fact, in his dictionary, this person was similar to a stranger. If the two of them hadn't competed for a few words that day, this person would have been a stranger.
But I didn't expect that this guy named Zhong Rui would do anything in a place like this. In order to keep himself far away from his goddess, he assigned himself to other groups and also mentioned a set list of teams.
The fair boy snorted coldly and asked: "How can we let these logistics people arrange this team? We ask for a substitution!"
As he said that, he winked at Heizi Lin Fenghuo and said calmly: "I'm not worried about Lin Fenghuo going on a mission alone. I think it's best to replace Lin Lei! As for the one person coming from their team, let's replace him with Li Xintian!"
Lin Fenghuo immediately answered: "Yes, yes, yes, Lin Lei is good, Lin Lei is good!"
Li Xintian's cheeks were just a little red but he didn't say anything.
Gao Ning touched his chin and said with a wry smile: "But Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy have already sent in invitations and the rooms have been arranged. If you transfer Xintian like this, where will she stay at night? ?Who are you sleeping with?"
Hearing this, Yi Xifeng was dumbfounded. It seemed that Zhong Rui was determined to stumble him.
Li Xintian's beautiful eyes turned slightly. She glanced at Wu Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Yi Xifeng, and Lin Fenghuo on her side, and whispered:
"Actually, I can switch with the fifth sister. After all, my sister often goes on missions with Fenghuo, and we cooperate well."
Hearing this, Yi Xifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, while Zhao Long, who had been silent next to him, sighed. He said calmly: "Brother Bodang, I have a good friend since Qingyun... let's switch!"
Gao Ning looked at the group of boys and girls, shook his head and said, "You little brats, just have fun!"
In this way, Yi Xifeng, Zhao Long, Li Xintian, and Lin Lei went to the Qingyun Sect together, while Wang Bodang, Lin Fenghuo, Fifth Xiaoxiao, Zhong Lingxi, and Qi Chengcheng went to Xiaoyuan Academy!
………Dividing line………
Yinren Town, Zhongfu.
As one of the six major families in Yinren, the Zhong family’s influence covers all aspects of Yinren! The most influential ones are naturally Yinren's various trades.
Compared with Zhao Yunming, the big shopkeeper of Yinren Town, and the Qi family who undertook various projects of the Three Hundred Shenfeng Camp. The Zhong family's business is more pure, just to make money.
Moreover, the contemporary head of the Zhong family, Zhong Qianhe, is a very enlightened man. He has a son, and the next two descendants are only two granddaughters, Zhong Lingxi and Zhong Nacong.
So a long time ago, he made a rule that if the two granddaughters get married in the future, it is best for the grandson-in-law to marry into the Zhong family so that he can inherit the Zhong family's huge family business.
If you don't want to get married, don't force it. When your granddaughter gives birth to a baby boy, you can just choose one to inherit the Zhong family's surname and take over the family business.
With such an attractive condition, not to mention the beauty of the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, even in Luoye City, I don't know how many people have crossed the threshold of the Zhong family.
However, this eldest lady is too pampered and refuses to accept these handsome young men who think they are elegant.
Zhong Rui is one of the most powerful suitors. His father was the chief steward of the Zhong family. Although he was a servant, his real power was only under Zhong Qianhe. In addition, Zhong Rui himself is good enough. He knows that Zhong Lingxi will not like those sour scholars who have no power to restrain themselves.
Therefore, he always thought that this extremely beautiful girl was his, until she participated in the martial arts competition...
"Rui'er, what are you staring at there?" A middle-aged man walked in from the outside. This man was dressed as a scholar. He was of medium build and thinner. From his facial features, he could see the blood relationship between Zhong Rui and this man.
"Dad, you're here! It's nothing, I'm thinking about Lingxi..." the young man replied calmly.
The thin middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are not chasing girls like this, silly boy!"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the young man frowned and his expression became a little gloomy.
"I've always regarded her as a treasure, ever since I was a child! But...but, she likes a kid whose hair hasn't even grown yet..."
The thin middle-aged man chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Even if you think that someone likes someone else, wouldn't it be a big deal? When pursuing a girl, the first thing is to be thick-skinned, but not shameless! Besides, women Well, I can’t get used to it, do you know what licking a dog is?”
"Dog licking?" Zhong Rui asked doubtfully.
The bell steward stood up with a smile, walked to the table, picked up a chicken leg from the tribute table, and took a bite. Then he handed it to Zhong Rui, indicating whether he wanted to eat it.
The young man frowned and didn't understand what his father meant, but he shook his head and refused.
His father didn't say anything else. He walked to the hall and threw the chicken legs into the flower bed in the courtyard. The yellow dog raised in the courtyard immediately ran over and ate them all without leaving any bones.
The lean middle-aged man said calmly: "I only tasted her once and I was going to throw her away. In the eyes of the chicken legs, of course I am not a good person! This dog saw the chicken legs flying towards him, let alone the meat, even if he was killed A person will be grateful even if there are only bones left! However, in the eyes of chicken legs, no matter how bad I am, I am still a human being. Even if she only has bones left for a dog to eat, she still feels that a dog is not worthy of it!"
Having said this, he turned to look at his son who was already stunned on the spot, and murmured: "Can you understand?!"
…
That night, a night owl flew out from Zhongfu and flew far away in the direction of Qingchuan County.
When night fell, Yi Xifeng and others had already left Yanlong Town. They bought a lot of things, including some dry food and dried meat, some Confucian books, and two carriages.
Everyone said goodbye at the north gate of the city. Yi Xifeng and his party needed to go to the Qingyun Sect and head east. As for Wang Bodang and others who needed to go to Xiaoyuan Academy, they headed all the way north.
Gao Ning looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "When you reach your destination, go find the person you want to contact first, and remember to keep in touch! I am in Qingchuan County and have other tasks to do. If I have the chance, I will go find you! "
Although the nine people had not been together with Captain Gao Ning for a short time, his style of doing things was recognized by everyone. The sudden separation and heading to an unknown place were still a bit of a challenge for these teenagers.
Watching the two carriages gradually go away, Gao Ning Yuanmen's calm face was filled with solemnity for an instant. As a veteran intelligence officer who had been lurking outside for more than ten years, he had already sensed that there must be something wrong with Yinren during this mission.
"They actually let a group of the most talented young people in the village go to the Qingyun Sect. Even if they stay in one family, they don't feel at ease, so they have to split up into two families! What kind of threat would make Yinren's senior management make such a decision? ?!" His expression changed very quickly, obviously he was analyzing the pros and cons.
"I have basically completed this task. They have to go to Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy Road by themselves! As for those people who stabbed people in the back, huh, do you really think that I, Gao Ning, is easy to mess with? The Zhong family! "
Along with his muttering, Gao Ning's figure disappeared into the open space outside the north gate.
