Chapter 673: Tokyo is now a wolf shadow
The news that Zhao Yanrong was rejected at Tianyong Camp triggered a new wave of heated discussions in the city. Almost everyone was scolding Fu Jingtao for being ignorant. Zhao Yanrong was the princess of the Song Dynasty and essentially represented Zhao Kuangyin.
Wouldn't it be ridiculous to go to inspect the training of the new army, only to be turned away? At this time, public sentiment was raging, and the impeachment memorial flew into the palace like snowflakes.
However, the power of God is unpredictable. Zhao Kuangyin neither rebuked the ministers for being meddlesome nor had any intention of questioning Fu Jingtao. All the memorials seemed to be lost in the sea. The plans and thoughts of the emperor of a country are beyond the reach of anyone.
The court maintained a calm situation for the time being, but there was an undercurrent in the city. Spies from various countries and informants from various sects gathered in Tokyo, trying their best to get all useful information. The business of restaurants, casinos and brothels was much more prosperous than before.
On this early morning, Xiao Chilang, who had disguised himself and followed the Wufu League gang, escorted a large number of live pigs into the city for sale, and easily passed the inspection. After unloading the goods, the sky was dim, and there were only scattered figures in the market and streets.
Activity.
Xiao Chilang found an excuse to leave alone, and went straight to Bianhe Street. At this time, the morning sun was setting, thousands of buildings were bathed in the glow, the broad river was meandering, boats were passing by on the water, and weeping willows were lingering on both sides.
, What a peaceful and spectacular scene! I have to admit that Kaifeng is indeed the largest city in the world. Compared with Yanjing, Shangjing is ten times more prosperous, just like a fairyland on earth. If one day the Song army's defense line is broken, the Liao war flag can be planted in Kaifeng city
Head, this life will not be wasted!
Xiao Chilang pretended to walk leisurely, using stones to quietly carve more than ten star-shaped symbols and arrows on the corners of the wall and on tree bark. Finally, he walked into a porridge shop and sat down, ordering meat porridge, sesame cakes and cold salad.
Sauce meat and a bottle of wine, enjoy slowly while looking at the river view outside the window.
In the blink of an eye, the sky is bright and the city has regained its vitality and bustle.
A middle-aged businessman with a weathered face hurriedly walked into the porridge shop, took a look around, and sat down next to Xiao Chilang seemingly casually. He tapped his fingers on the table regularly and said loudly: "Boss, let's have a bowl of mutton porridge and four sesame seed cakes.
I’m in a hurry to do business!”
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
Xiao Chilang and the middle-aged businessman made eye contact, and made a hidden gesture. The middle-aged businessman looked slightly shocked. He drank some wine while no one was paying attention, and quickly wrote a few words on the table. Xiao Chilang's eyes widened.
He drooped slightly and continued drinking with an expressionless expression.
After they finished eating, they pretended not to know each other and walked through the streets and alleys one after another until they came to a remote inn.
The inn is located at the end of an alley. There is a tall camphor tree growing outside the door. The doors and windows are peeling off paint, and the blue-black signboard is missing a corner. The shop is deserted, with few customers in sight, and swarms of flies are buzzing around.
As soon as Xiao Chilang appeared, the shopkeeper and waiters who were dozing off suddenly woke up, and their eyes suddenly became as sharp as swords. Xiao Chilang made a gesture, and the shopkeeper and others were surprised and happy, and respectfully looked at him
Please go to the backyard room.
There is no doubt that this is one of the newly established secret strongholds of the Khitan Wolf Alliance. The shopkeeper, waiters, cooks, cooks and even the guests staying in the hotel are all Khitan people pretending to be there. Those people in the original inn have long been killed and buried underground.
Already.
Xiao Chilang frowned and said, "How many people do we have in the city now?"
The middle-aged businessman said: "After receiving the news that the prince was missing, the old prince was very anxious and sent more than 500 people to go south in batches. As far as I know, about 200 brothers have sneaked into Kaifeng City and passed through various places.
We will use various channels to find your whereabouts, the prince, while the rest are lurking outside the city to take care of you. Fortunately, God bless you, and the prince is safe and sound!"
Xiao Chilang is the backbone of the Wolf Alliance and is irreplaceable. Once something happens to him, the Wolf Alliance will soon fall apart.
All the Khitan spies said one after another: "Prince, the Song people are powerful, let's go out of the city to take shelter!" "The old prince once told me that he would return to Yanjing as soon as he found you." "You can leave the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood!"
Xiao Chilang was completely defeated in this operation and almost lost his own life. With his arrogant and conceited character, how could he be willing to leave with his tail between his legs like a lost dog? Whenever he thinks of Fu Jingtao's glory and glory, he feels jealous in his heart.
The fire of hatred and jealousy was like lava erupting, burning him so much that he almost suffocated. He said with displeasure, "How outrageous! When was it your turn to command me to do this or that?"
The spies trembled in fright and closed their mouths tightly.
Xiao Chilang said coldly: "Don't forget why the Wolf Alliance exists! We are the fangs and claws of the Liao Dynasty, the deadly poisonous arrows of the Khitan, and the sharp knives that kill people like hemp! If the Zhao and Song Dynasties are strong, they will inevitably march to the north.
Seizing the important land of Yanyun is a serious problem for our country. We have to take the initiative to assassinate famous generals and ministers of Zhao and Song Dynasties, encourage local and state capitals to rebel and become self-reliant, and buy off profit-seeking gangs and clans. If we hurriedly withdraw at this time, wouldn't it be wrong?
Did you come here in vain?"
He paused and clenched his fists: "Besides, the new army trained by Zhao Song is about to make its official debut. I must see Fu Jingtao stumble and see the new army end in a disastrous defeat!"
Just as he finished speaking, a soft click sound suddenly came from diagonally above. If you are not paying attention, it is easy to ignore it.
Xiao Chilang's heart was filled with fear. He stomped out of the window with his feet and swept up to the ridge of the roof like a ghost. He saw a man as thin as a monkey squatting on the tiles, his eyes flickering, showing a bit of surprise.
The two sides suddenly met each other, and the man decisively lifted up a large piece of roof tiles, then turned around and ran away.
"Stop!" Xiao Chilang yelled and swung his palms. The flying roof tiles burst into pieces. His palms were everywhere, and countless fragments shot out in the opposite direction, like countless poisonous bees stinging the man's back.
back.
Oops! Plop!
The man was unable to escape in mid-air, his vest and limbs were all cut with blood, and he immediately lost control and fell to the ground. Khitan spies rushed up quickly and held him down with all their hands and feet.
Xiao Chilang asked sternly: "Who are you? Who instigated you?" Despite his repeated precautions, his whereabouts were still exposed. He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine, and he seriously suspected that he had been betrayed by his subordinates.
While struggling with all his strength, the man cursed loudly: "You wolf-hearted Khitan people who try to destroy the tranquility of our Song Dynasty will all die a good death!"
Xiao Chilang asked: "How did you find this place? Where are the other accomplices?"
The man spat: "Want to know? I won't tell you, uncle!"
Xiao Chilang said slowly: "If you don't explain things honestly and clearly, I will chop off your head!"
The man laughed and said: "The scar on my head is no bigger than a bowl. Who are you trying to scare? Sir, I am a man of the Han family who stands upright and I will become a good man again after eighteen years!"
Xiao Chilang knew that it would be difficult to pry open such a tough mouth, so the top priority was to move quickly, before anyone blocked the door, and shouted: "Kill!"
"yes!"
The sword flashed, and the sharp blade plunged into the man's heart, cutting off his vitality.
Chapter completed!
