Chapter 191 Picking the Zodiac Sign

Zi Shi.

Huanjing Hutong.

Chen Ji and Bai Long were sitting opposite each other in the main hall of the secret agent's yamen, with a chessboard between them.

It's still the old rule from the Dragon King's camp. When playing fast chess, each move should not exceed ten breaths.

The two of them each held black and white, and made rapid moves.

Bailong put on his mask. He looked at the trend on the chessboard and praised while making moves: "You are not panicking at all. Your chess style is also very different from last time. I finally understand the word 'willingness'."

Although Gu Tunlong's chess strategy is wonderful, it is also the most greedy and undesirable."

Chen Ji said nothing and stared at the chessboard intently.

Bailong said slowly: "It's already Haishi, and Yunyang and others haven't been able to bring the crown prince to me yet. I'm afraid they've made another mistake."

Chen Ji didn't even raise his head: "Since Yunyang and Jiaotu always mess up things, why doesn't Master Bailong replace them?"

Bai Long was happy: "I have my own reasons. You will understand in the future."

As he finished speaking, a watchman passed by outside the alley, beating a gong: "Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft!"

The agreed-upon time has passed, and when it comes to the ugly time, the time is unclear.

Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Bailong, it seems that I have won."

Bai Long smiled: "If you win, you win, but I'm a little curious, where did you hide the prince?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "Master Bailong, I have proven that I am useful enough in my humble position. From now on, I will do my best to serve you as a master and go through fire and water. I don't know about the princess..."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

I saw Yunyang, White Rabbit, and Golden Pig coming together, patting the snow on their bodies: "Sir, Princess Baili has been imprisoned in a secret house, under the personal supervision of Jie Fanwei."

As soon as Jin Zhu entered the door and saw Chen Ji, he was stunned: "Why are you here?"

Chen Ji pointed at the chessboard: "Play chess with Master Bailong."

The Golden Pig looked confused.

Bailong stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "Can you find the Crown Prince?"

Yun Yang and Jiao Tu looked at each other and lowered their heads: "Replying to Master Bai Long, I am incompetent and have not found the prince. However, I am sure that Zhang Zhuo is helping them cover their whereabouts. I ask Master Bai Long to give an oral instruction. The two of us will send Zhang Zhuo to

Your Excellency is taken to the inner prison, and the prince’s whereabouts will be interrogated!”

Bai Long laughed loudly and pointed at the two of them with his finger: "You two have made a mistake, and you still want me to take the blame with you. What's the point of this? Tell me, what else did you poke at?"

The White Rabbit whispered: "I didn't poke any holes."

"Huh?" Bailong turned around and said, "Golden Pig, you tell me."

The golden pig was not polite to the two of them: "Yunyang and Jiaotu led the Jiefanwei to stop Zhang Zhuo's grain transport team. In the end, they failed to find the prince and scattered the official grain all over the ground."

The White Rabbit argued: "It didn't move much food, I stopped it in time!"

The golden pig thought for a while: "The trouble-shooting guard was quick and punctured twenty-seven bags. The official grain escort may seem inconspicuous. A dozen bags of grain are not worth much, but it has always been a major military matter. It can be said to be a big deal.

, It doesn’t matter if it’s small, let’s see if Zhang Zhuo wants to put the two of them on a scale to measure them.”

Bailong raised his head and thought for a moment: "One bag of official rations is one hundred and twenty kilograms, and one kilogram is eleven cents. According to our Daning law, anyone who steals more than twenty-five grains of military rations will be punished with a hundred sticks, and the thieves will be stabbed."

The five words "money, food and goods" mean you will be sent three thousand miles away... You two will be sent away again."

Chen Ji subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Bai Long, but he didn't expect that the other person could recite the Daning Law so accurately.

What kind of people can memorize the law? Three types of people.

The first type is Zhang Zhuo, a person with a photographic memory like Zhang Xia.

The second type is those who enforce the law.

The third type is those who are prepared to break the law.

White dragon should be the third type.

Bailong faced Yunyang and Jiaotu and sighed: "I told you a long time ago that you have to pay more attention to my laws. When you do things like this, you can avoid breaking the law and prevent others from being caught. How do you think I am fooling around?

Those who reach the top three can rely on not being caught."

Cloud Sheep and White Rabbit were so guilty that they did not dare to raise their heads.

Bai Long thought for a moment: "Let's do this. I will protect you two from being assigned. It's just that I want to take back this zodiac position on behalf of the Prime Minister, so that I can give an explanation to the Xu family. From now on, you two will be assigned.

He is a pigeon-level spy and works under Chen Ji."

"What?" Yunyang looked shocked: "Why should we work under him?"

Bai Long pretended to be confused: "You are pigeon-level spies. He is Hai Dongqing, one level higher than you. Can't you work under him?"

Yun Yangru mourned and asked his heir: "But...but..."

Bailong: "Oh? You don't accept it?"

Jiaotu hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Do you want to die? Come down quickly, come down, come down..."

Yunyang glanced at Chen Ji with a pale face, then clasped his fists and saluted: "As ordered."

After the words fell, Chen Ji spoke from the side: "Master Bailong, I don't have the qualifications for this humble position, so I'm afraid I don't have the ability to lead others. Otherwise, Yun Yang and Jing Hao should stop working under me."

It's not that Chen Ji didn't want to take this opportunity to humiliate the two of them.

Rather, these two men were too vengeful and extremely good at assassination. He was worried that if he pushed these two men into a hurry, the other party would jump over the wall.

Bai Long turned to look at him: "You are all so bold, how dare you talk back to me when I arrange things?"

Chen Ji, Yunyang, and Jiaotu all clasped their fists and lowered their heads at the same time: "I don't dare to be humble!"

Bai Long was afraid and patted Chen Ji on the shoulder: "Do a good job, and I will go to Mr. Nei Xiang to ask for credit for you."

Jin Zhu's expression changed. Why did Chen Ji change the lintel and listen to Bai Long's orders?

The next moment, Bai Long waved his hand: "Okay, let's disperse. Go and secure all the traffic arteries in Luo City. Check every house to make sure the prince doesn't escape."

"Yes," Jin Zhu and others bowed and retreated, but Chen Ji did not move.

Golden Pig walked to the threshold, turned around and waved to Chen Ji: "Let's go."

Chen Ji said softly: "I still want to play chess with Lord Bailong, Lord Golden Pig, please leave on your own."

Jin Zhu's face darkened. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but said: "You want to change the family? Have you forgotten how I treated you? If Tianma and I hadn't rescued you, you would have become a dead soul long ago.

!”

Chen Ji was silent for a long time: "Master Golden Pig, I still think that following Master Bailong will have a better future."

Bailong laughed loudly: "Pig, oh, pig, a melon that is too strong is not sweet."

The Golden Pig sneered three times: "Okay, okay, Mr. Bailong is good at it. I would like to wish Mr. Chen that he will achieve the position of the zodiac as soon as possible!"

After that, he walked away.

…

…

Bai Long took a few steps forward, clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the snow in the court: "You have won this game tonight, and I haven't thought about where you hid the prince... Really?

Aren’t you going to reveal the answer to the mystery to me?”

Chen Ji came to his side: "Since Mr. Bailong intends to let the prince live, why bother to investigate further?"

Bai Long smiled: "It's not that I meant to let him live, but someone threatened me, saying that if I don't give you a way to live this time, he will kill me. There are not many people in Ning Chao who can kill me, but he

Count it as one."

Chen Ji was slightly startled.

He subconsciously looked back at the tea cup on the table. Someone was drinking tea here just now, which delayed Bai Long for an hour.

Chen Ji looked towards the courtyard. When he first entered the courtyard, there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine. It was clearly the familiar smell of a medical clinic, with a hint of bitterness.

When Chen Ji turned back, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes: "Sir, are you talking about Mr. Sick Tiger?"

Bailong sneered and said, "Talk too much, which makes you smart."

Chen Ji suddenly understood why Bai Long repeatedly expressed goodwill to him, and why Mengji put water on him in his dream. It turned out that someone was always protecting him behind his back...

Master, sick tiger!

Tiger, tiger!

Chen Ji said: "Master Bailong, if I must save the princess, what should I do?"

Bai Long sighed: "You have posed a huge problem for me. Chen Ji, that is a serious crime of treason. Do you think His Majesty will let Prince Jing go?"

Chen Ji whispered: "But Prince Jing clearly didn't want to rebel. This is a crime that was placed on him by others."

Bai Long's voice became solemn: "Don't say such arrogant words after you leave this door. In this position, you and I must know our identities, and think through everything we do and say in advance. Don't

Let others know that you are bent on saving the princess, and if His Majesty wants to kill her, and you want to protect him, might you also want to rebel?"
