The rapid beating of drums came from the Dongshi Drum Tower, and eight hundred dusk drums were played into the night.

As the sun sets outside the Yingxian Tower and sinks behind the city, the crane sculpture is as hot as the sun, and its shadow is gradually lengthened and then disappears.

Chen Ji stood outside the door to welcome guests. He was the only one in the Yingxian Building today. He had originally booked a dozen or so banquets, but some people heard that the newly promoted secret agent Hai Dongqing was going to hold a celebration banquet here, so they all ordered banquets. Withdrawn.

Because of this incident, the entire Baiyi Alley became deserted. Outside Baiyi Alley, a carriage slowly drove in.

Golden Pig opened the car curtain and jumped out of the car with Xifeng. He looked around the traces with a strange expression. Just now, his cultivation realm had soared, and he was only one step away from the realm of seeking the Tao.

This kind of speed of cultivation is unheard of by the Golden Pig.

Chen Ji smiled and asked, "Master Golden Pig, why are you looking at me like that?"

The Golden Pig hesitated for a moment, and finally did not ask about the practice: "It's okay, it's okay. You changed into new clothes today, and you look much more heroic than before. You are a good tailor, you are in ES

Wherever the clothes are made, I will also make two pairs."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Li Ji in front of Nancheng Gate..."

Before he finished speaking, Yunyang and Jiaotu were seen walking side by side in black outfits, with dozens of spies behind them.

The golden pig's face turned gloomy.

Chen Ji was puzzled and puzzled: "Master Yunyang, Master Jiaotu, how come you have brought so many people here? I am humble in my humble position, so I only booked one table, which cannot seat so many people."

Yunyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, these people are not here to eat."

After saying that, he waved to the spies behind him, only to see the spies, with their swords in hand, burrowing into the Yingxian Tower like locusts.

After all the spies went in, Yun Yang explained casually: "There are still remnants of the Liu family making trouble in Luo City, which is causing a lot of headaches. As the saying goes, a centipede will never freeze even if it dies. Tonight, our spy department The three zodiac signs are gathered together, so we must be careful to prevent any remnants of the Liu family from hiding in the Yingxian Tower. If the three of us are caught in the attack, it will be a loss for the Secret Service." Chen Ji said calmly: "Three of you? Bai Master Long, aren't Master Mengji coming?" Jiaotu said with a smile: "Sir Bailong never attends banquets. After all, you can't drink and eat with a mask on. Mengji came with us, but suddenly something happened and he went back. Kaifeng Mansion. Don't worry, no one else is needed. If you want to drink, I will drink with you."

Yunyang's face darkened: "I'll just drink with him." Jiaotu rolled his eyes.

At this time, the spies searching Yingxian Tower filed out, and one of the spies shook his head silently at Yunyang.

Yunyang thought for a moment and felt a little uneasy. He looked at Chen Ji and said, "The dishes at Yingxian Restaurant are all gimmicks, and they are not actually delicious. Why don't we go to Qingzhuyuan in Baiyi Lane? I've tasted the bad goose there." Zhangyaxin is truly a masterpiece."

Chen Ji frowned slightly: "Master Yunyang, I have decided on the banquet at Yingxian Tower, so I can't change it at will."

Yunyang asked back: "Did you arrange something in the Yingxian Tower, so you don't want to change places?"

Chen Ji looked at the Golden Pig, but the Golden Pig rarely refuted Yun Yang, and just lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Ji took a deep breath: "What can I arrange in the Yingxian Tower? Master Yunyang is overthinking. If Master Yunyang insists on changing the place, he will accept his orders."

Yunyang laughed: "Then let's go, Qingzhu Garden is not far away."

After saying that, he led the way forward for dozens of steps and stopped outside a courtyard. The sound of pipa came from the Qingzhu Garden, and Yunyang waved his hand: "Tell everyone inside to get out."

In just one moment of burning incense, the guests in the garden fled.

Yunyang waved his hand, but saw dozens of secret spies suddenly disperse and defend Qingzhu Garden. A carriage passing by the door was also stopped by them and driven away.

Yunyang looked into Chen Ji's eyes: "It's okay now. No one in Luo City can ambush us. Chen Ji shouldn't think too much, this is also to protect you."

"Oh?" Chen Ji asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Yunyang said playfully: "Our Secret Intelligence Department has always had a bad reputation. Now few outsiders know that you are Hai Dongqing from our Secret Intelligence Department. It would be good to keep it a secret. Besides, now you have stabbed Prince Jing in the back and betrayed him. The prince and the princess... With Prince Jing's prestige in the world, if those people in the world know your appearance, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even eating a bowl of noodles outside. If someone poisons you today and makes a hidden arrow tomorrow, how can you still live? .”

Chen Ji said calmly: "What Master Yunyang said is absolutely true. Thank you for your protection. Please come in and take a seat."

Yunyang laughed and walked into Qingzhu Garden first.

Chen Ji was about to walk in, but Golden Pig grabbed his wrist: "Brother, the trend cannot be violated!"

Chen Ji pretended to be puzzled: "What are you talking about, sir? Why does such a happy day go against the general trend?"

In the dim light and shadow of night and twilight, Golden Pig stared carefully at the young man in front of him. Only he knew that Chen Ji's spiritual realm suddenly increased sharply this evening.

Although he didn't know how Chen Ji did it and what price he paid, he knew that today must be very important to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji grabbed Jin Zhu's wrist with his backhand and said warmly: "Master Jin Zhu, who can tell clearly how many people in this world are sincere and how many are fake? You and I are on the same boat now, don't be afraid."

Golden Pig watched the traces of traces disappearing into the Green Bamboo Garden, and gritted his teeth and followed in. At the same time, Wuyun led more than ten strong civet cats and silently sneaked into the back alley of the Qingzhu Garden, all holding a bamboo tube in their mouths. The remaining cats huddled in the dark, closed their eyes, and waited quietly.

The next moment, a calico cat came out of the dog hole in the wall and meowed. Wu Yun suddenly opened his eyes, held the bamboo tube in his mouth, and got in like running water.

. . . .

On the second floor of Qingzhuyuan, the dishes are served like water, including steamed duck with fermented wine, shrimp ball and chicken skin soup, rouge goose breast, and creamy pine pulp rolls, all of which are not seen on ordinary days.

A man from the Qing Dynasty came with his veil covered and a pipa in his arms, but he was stopped by a spy: "The adults are drinking and talking, and no idlers should come near."

During the banquet, Yunyang sat opposite Chen Ji, picked up a chopstick of duck meat, and asked curiously: "Chen Ji, I heard that you have a close relationship with Prince Jing and the princess, and you once defended the princess in a debate at Luhun Villa.

Before she left, you held the horse for her, just like a fairy couple in a storybook... Storytellers from all over the country have to thank you, your story is enough for them to tell it for a month without getting tired of it."

Chen Ji took a sip of wine: "What do you want to ask, Lord Yunyang?"

Yunyang asked with a smile: "What I'm curious about is whether you planned to betray them from the beginning, or did you betray them later to protect yourself? How do you think Jianghu will tell your story in the future?"

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Lord Yunyang is joking. You and I are both working for the Prime Minister. How can we have such love as children? Since Prince Jing has committed the serious crime of treason, we have no shirk of responsibility. There is no personal relationship in front of our family and country.

"

Yunyang exclaimed: "Well said!"

Jin Zhu said coldly: "That's it, haven't you betrayed others in these years? A year ago, when you were Haidongqing, Ye Yang believed your news and fell into the ambush of Jing Chao's thieves. If it hadn't been so

,How come the sheep seat is vacant for you?"

Yun Yanghun didn't care: "How could I know whether it was true or false when I got the news? Moreover, all those Jing Chao thieves died during the encirclement and suppression by our Secret Service, and Lord Ye Yang deserved his death. I know Ye Yang

I helped you in Wu Nian Mountain, but his death really has nothing to do with me."

The golden pig sneered and drank the strong wine in the cup.

Jiaotu said nonchalantly: "I keep drinking every day. Why do you mention Wu Nian Mountain when you are so happy? Is it possible that you still have feelings for it?"

Chen Ji asked curiously: "What kind of place is Wu Nian Mountain?"

Jiaotu turned to look at him and said with a smile: "You just need to know that you are lucky to have never been to Wu Nian Mountain. Don't ask about anything else. Drink, drink, you and I will have a drink."

Chen Ji hurriedly stood up and said, "My lords, please wait a minute. I'm going to change my clothes. I'll come back as soon as I go."

The White Rabbit muttered: "It's boring!"

Changing clothes is a euphemism for going to the toilet. During the dinner, it was said that going to the toilet really affects appetite. However, as soon as he stood up, Yunyang stood up too and said, "I'll go with you." Chen Ji smiled and said, "Then I'll go with you."

Jin Zhu watched the two people leave the table, his face slightly nervous. If Chen Ji wanted to take action, it would be now. He looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

After a while, Chen Ji returned with Yunyang. He smiled and said, "Master Yunyang accompanied me even though he didn't need to change his clothes. I think he was afraid that I would be plotted against. Or maybe he was afraid that I would harm him."

Golden Pig stood up and said disdainfully: "He has a villainous mind. He thinks about harming others every day, so he is also worried about others harming him every day... I will go change my clothes too."

He left the table slowly. When he left, he subconsciously glanced back and saw Chen Ji drinking wine with his head down, his eyes hidden in the shadows.

The Golden Pig hesitantly walked down the stairs of the building. When he walked down a few steps and looked back, he saw Chen Ji smiling and talking to the White Rabbit. Nothing was out of the ordinary.

He breathed a sigh of relief: the place where he was drinking had been changed, and dozens of spies were guarding it. I guess Chen Ji really wouldn't do anything else tonight.

Jin Zhu walked out of the guard building, got into the toilet not far away, held his nose and unbuttoned his pants. Only he knew that Chen Wen was the swordsman who used firearms in Hongyi Lane. Chen Wen had firearms!

When Chen Ji went to change clothes just now, he almost thought that Chen Ji was going to make a move, but luckily he didn't.

The golden pig whispered to himself: "This is right, you will always forget... you will always forget."

However, at this moment, there were dozens of bangs and a huge air wave overturned the toilet, and the brick wall crushed him underneath.

In an instant! The fire bursts out!

The wooden foundation of the two-story building in Qingzhuyuan was destroyed by the fire. The entire building was like a dismantled frame, roaring and falling down, turning into a huge ruin.

There was a buzzing sound in Golden Pig's ears. He struggled to open up the ruins of the toilet and stared blankly at the ruins in front of him.

Why? Why?

Chen Ji was clearly still inside, so why did he detonate the firearm?!

The Golden Pig murmured: "It turns out that you had a death wish in your heart from the very beginning and wanted to keep Yun Yang and Jing Hao here..."

It had been so long that even Yunyang had almost forgotten the paranoia in Chen Ji's eyes when he first met Chen Ji.

The moment he came out of Taiping Medical Center, he never thought that he could go back alive.

At this time, shouts of killing came from outside Qingzhu Garden. I don’t know who was approaching.

With a click, a hand stretched out from the ruins, and that arm gradually opened the ruins.

The ruins were slowly arched up, and finally, Chen Ji stood up from the middle, with the fire burning in his body, letting the heavy snow fall on him.

In the firelight, Chen Ji gasped and looked at the golden pig.

The Golden Pig was silent for a few moments, then lay back down and closed his eyes.

Chen Ji looked around and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking, come and save Mr. Yunyang, Mr. White Rabbit! Mr. Golden Pig, Mr. Golden Pig, where are you?!"

He originally wanted to look for traces of Yunyang and Jiaotu, but now they were in ruins and had no idea where they were buried.

While he was thinking, a vigorous middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat came in, with mantis legs and a worker bee waist, covered in blood, and extremely fierce.

Chen Ji emerged from the ruins: "The thief is looking for death!"
