When Tan Bin came to Weushui for the first time, he walked through the teleportation circle, and then continued to the southeast with the people traveling directly at the intersection of Weushui and Xiahe.
The matter was so urgent that Tan Bin was busy at Zhuohuo Pass two days ago, but now he was in Jingdong and had to leave the country.
Tan Bin is no longer an ordinary spy. He is a gold medal agent and the person in charge of this operation. Not only do they need to complete a task, but they also need to use this operation as a warm-up to gain a foothold as soon as possible in the mysterious place outside the country called the City of Death.
Before this mission, Tan Bin didn't know that there was such a place as the City of Wasted Death in the world. Just by hearing the name, you know it is not a good place. Death in vain? Doesn’t it mean to die unjustly? Or did he die when he shouldn't have?
In addition, the summary of the situation in Wusi City that I got was also the highest level that Tan Bin had come into contact with so far. After reading it, he burned it immediately, and he knew better at the same time.
Just think of the City of Wasted Death as a no-nonsense zone in the monk world. Black, white, and gray, it’s just a hodgepodge there.
However, Tan Bin is not uneasy yet. He has seen a lot of strong winds and waves and now this scene does not make him nervous. Another reason is that the people who came together this time are all ordinary people, all experienced in the car and horse industry. , the possibility of exposure is extremely low. And after so many years, Tan Bin knows very well that the higher the cultivation level, the more people look down on ordinary people like them.
Hehe, it's better to be inconspicuous. I've earned all my merits from you self-righteous monks. Tan Bin always thinks like this.
Because before Tan Bin arrived, Hengshun Car and Horse Company had already taken over the land business in the intersection of Xiahe and Ruoshui. In addition to the manpower transferred from surrounding transfer stations, there were also some old people in the Car and Horse Company who were originally from Tianyi Trading Company. Hands, these people are now all classified as Hengshun Chariot and Horse.
Tan Bin came here as the leader of a convoy this time. He had sixty-seven carts and a hundred men under his command. It took several days of hard work to get out of the southeastern border of Jingjiu Dynasty.
Unlike the loose border lines elsewhere, although there is no grand pass like Zhuohuo Pass to guard it, it is not just a boundary stone.
There are water gates in the three large and medium-sized water villages on the waterway. There are also three fortification groups on the land route, and there are strict inspections in and out.
After spending such a long time in Zhuohuo Pass, Tan Bin was familiar with many things in the military. All the way outside the country, he found that the alert level here was almost in a wartime state. Although the soldiers' faces were very... The calmness, the strength of the fortifications and the compactness of the fortifications all indicate that they are always prepared to deal with surprise attacks from abroad.
Moreover, while Tan Bin was still passing the customs, his sharp eyes spotted two monks with gold sword patterns on their waists. Golden Sword Guard?
After seeing the Golden Sword Guard, Tan Bin had to alert himself again. At the same time, he reminded the thirty spies who came with him through the spies' own special channels: After leaving the country, raise your defense to the highest level, and it is best to forget about yourself. If you reveal your identity, just bite the collar and cut it off.
Collar, four new suicide methods designed for spies. The collar is highly poisonous, and you will definitely die within ten breaths of it. I was previously researching on dentures containing poison, but the risk was too high and it was easy to accidentally eat them, so I had to give up temporarily.
There is also poison in Tan Bin's collar, which is colorless and odorless and can only be washed away with special potion. At the beginning, Tan Bin was very uncomfortable with this thing and always felt scared. But later, after he got used to it, he felt that this thing was very good. Being able to keep secrets at critical moments would save people a lot of suffering.
Especially after seeing the torture methods used in Xuanqing Guard, Tan Bin and most of the spies felt that it would be better to die than to be tortured in a desperate place like Xuanqing Guard.
Of course, so far, the spies in Blackwater have not heard of any companion who needs to use poison to commit suicide because his identity is exposed. And no one wants to be the first to try the drug.
Regardless of the fact that this trip to the City of Wasted Death, Tan Bin felt that it might be different from other missions he had experienced before.
After passing the land checkpoint, you can see a tall city wall standing in the distance the next day. The main reason we were able to arrive so quickly was because the road conditions were very good. All the way from the checkpoint is a wide lane that can accommodate three large vehicles side by side. It is wider than most of the official roads in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and it is so solidly compacted that even if a heavy vehicle is pressed on it, it will not hurt at all. Indentation.
"what is that?!"
As he got closer, some restlessness began to appear in the team, as if he had seen something extraordinary. At first, Tan Bin frowned and was about to scold him, but soon after he looked over from a distance, he opened his mouth wide and let out a trembling exclamation.
In Tan Bin's field of vision, he saw a huge building like a tower hovering more than a hundred feet above the big city in front of him. He didn't notice it just because there was a cloud in the sky blocking it. Now that cloud It floated away a little to reveal the tower inside.
How was that done? !
He turned to look at the veteran of the former Tianyi Company next to him, who smiled and said: "Boss Zhou, are you scared? That is the Hanging Tower, one of the magical places in the city. I heard that there are treasures inside, but no one has entered yet. You have to go, if you get closer later you can still see those flying real people wandering around the edge of the tower."
The reason why Tan Bin is called Head Zhou is because Tan Bin used the pseudonym "Zhou Zhuang" this time. It was obvious that the guy who spoke was feeling proud after a successful prank. Looking at the old people around who came from Tianyi Store, they were all snickering. It was probably because they were watching the novices' jokes.
Tan Bin didn't feel dissatisfied. The scene in front of him was indeed beyond the scope of his knowledge. Even if he knew in advance that he would still be as surprised as before after seeing the real thing.
Although they are far apart, the tower suspended in the clouds must be huge. How does it float in the sky? Why isn't it blown away when the wind comes? What treasures are hidden inside? As a secret agent, Tan Bin is very curious, especially for things like this that he cannot understand.
Approaching the city wall, Tan Bin felt a little shocked again. Because of the height and span of the city wall, the end could not be seen from the left and right. Is it not smaller than the imperial city of the Jing Dynasty?
I thought there would be a strict interrogation when entering the city, but it turned out that there was no such thing. There was not even a city entry tax. The guards on the city wall simply verified the list of goods on the car and the number of people before letting them go.
Aren't people here afraid of some bad guys sneaking in? Tan Bin thought so. But when I suddenly thought about it, I remembered that this was the City of Wasted Death. Even evil monks could walk around in the streets openly here. What kind of bad guys couldn't enter?
Turning around again, the old men of Tianyi Company who had been calm and relaxed before were now all shrinking their necks, like sheep in a pack of wolves, trembling and looking very scared.
