When he came to this world, Chen Ji knew nothing about his past self and could only piece together himself bit by bit from the information revealed by others.

Now, his past is becoming more and more complete... and more and more terrifying.

Jingchao spy? Is he really a Jingchao spy?!

For Chen Ji, this is the worst outcome, as if he were walking on a knife-edge cliff with an abyss beside him. No matter if he fell to the left or the right, he would be doomed.

what to do?

The man holding the knife behind Chen Ji said calmly: "Don't act rashly, or you will die."

His voice was dry and dull, but he had absolute confidence.

The other party must be a senior official who has been practicing for a long time, and he is a big shot in the Military Intelligence Department of Jing Dynasty!

Chen Ji didn't move, but he heard the shopkeeper say: "Master Si Cao, I have confirmed that Master Zhou passed information to this boy on the night of the accident. Now everyone in Master Zhou's house is missing, and this boy is the only one who is still alive. He must be a betrayer.

Got us."

Secretary Cao of the Military Intelligence Department pressed the cold blade tightly against Chen Ji's neck and asked in a solemn voice: "What do you want to say?"

Chen Ji's thoughts turned rapidly, and he finally said calmly: "The night I arrived at Zhou Chengyi's house, he had been betrayed by the thin horse from Cuizhuyuan in Baiyi Lane. Only then did Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit come to the door... How could he say it was because of my betrayal?

die?"

The shopkeeper said solemnly: "Then how did you survive? Jiaotu and Yunyang are notoriously bloodthirsty. If you didn't stay honest and perform meritorious service, how could you survive until now? You have betrayed Jingchao!"

The shopkeeper had just been kicked, and now he was angry, so he took the opportunity to come up and kick Chen Ji in the stomach, causing Chen Ji to bend over.

Chen Ji wanted to fight back, but the person behind him kicked him in the crook of his leg.

However, Chen Ji's knees softened and he almost knelt on the ground.

But he held on forcefully and stood up before his knees even hit the ground.

Secretary Cao of the Military Intelligence Department kicked him several more times, but each time Chen Ji struggled to stand up before he could kneel down.

Seeing this, Si Cao pressed his shoulder with great force. However, this time Chen Ji would rather break his shoulder and not bend his knees at all.

He straightened his body, looked directly at the shopkeeper and said fiercely: "No matter how many times you torture me, the result will be the same. I only ask one question, if I have betrayed, why are you still alive with me?"

say?!"

The shopkeeper's expression froze.

This was the reason why they did not kill Chen Ji immediately. Although all signs showed that Chen Ji had betrayed, everyone except Zhou Chengyi and Liu Shiyu were safe.

With Chen Ji's status, if he betrays him, it will be a disaster for the entire Military Intelligence system in Luo City. The Military Intelligence Department must confirm what happened.

The warehouse was filled with medicinal materials and seemed a bit crowded. The three of them could hear each other's breathing in the room.

Chen Ji slowly breathed a sigh of relief, held the blade with his two fingers, and pushed the dagger clamped around his neck away: "You want to kill me without asking anything? Let me finish my sentence. After I arrived at the Zhou Mansion, I met Zhou Chengyi

Before he could say a few words, Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit came to the door. Zhou Chengyi knew that there was no hope of survival, so he asked me to protect myself. Later, he committed suicide by swallowing poison, and I survived as an apprentice in a medical clinic. The Secret Service has not yet

Know my true identity."

Having said that, he no longer looked at the shopkeeper of Bailu Pavilion, but turned to face the Director of Military Intelligence behind him: the number three figure in the Military Intelligence Department of Jing Dynasty who was lurking in Ning Dynasty!

But I saw that the Secretary was wearing gray clothes and a simple appearance, with two patches on his elbows and knees.

The strange thing is that Si Cao wears a thin wooden mask on his face. The mask is engraved with a green face and fangs, which is terrifying and ferocious.

Before he could speak, Si Cao raised his hand and struck him accurately on the neck, knocking him out.

…

…

When Chen Jiyouyou woke up, he suddenly found that he was hanging upside down somewhere, with a black cloth covering his head. His eyes were dark, and his wrist hurt as if a cut had been made.

He heard a sticky ticking sound, as if his own blood was falling drop by drop.

The ticking sound is like the countdown of life, which makes people feel fear and urgency.

But Chen Ji calmed down instead.

"According to the rate of bleeding, you only have two-quarters of an hour to live," Si Cao's voice came from behind the mask, a bit dull: "Now let me ask you, the Secret Service has always preferred to kill the wrong person, even if they don't know.

Your identity as a spy will definitely not let you live. Tell me, why did they let you go?"

Chen Ji explained in the dark: "Because I have made a contribution. I used alum as a clue, brushed the paper with vinegar, and found the secret letter sent to Zhou Chengyi from the rice paper shop."

Si Cao asked in a deep voice: "If you are telling the truth, then the abilities you have shown are inconsistent with your status as an apprentice in the medical clinic. Yun Yang and Jiao Tu will definitely be suspicious! Yuan Ming, are you sure no one is following him when he comes?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "No."

"Confirm again and see if there are any strange faces near Bailu Pavilion at this time."

"clear."

The shopkeeper of Bailu Pavilion named Yuan Ming immediately opened the door and went out, standing in the courtyard, using a copper whistle to make a clear swallow call.

Soon, the calls of swallows came back one after another from the southeast and northwest directions outside Bailu Pavilion.

The shopkeeper returned to the house with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Si Cao, the brothers who were stationed around reported that no one was following him."

Si Cao fell into deep thought: "How can you gain the trust of the Secret Intelligence Department without even having a follower?"

Chen Ji also fell into deep thought, yes, why should I...

It seemed that he had suddenly gained the trust of Yunyang and Jiaotu. Not only could he go to the inner prison, but he could even access the files at will.

Those files are the top priority of the Secret Intelligence Department. If Yunyang and Jiaotu still suspect that they are spies of Jing Dynasty, they will never let them check them.

Why?

Wait, it's because of that weird dream.

Chen Ji recalled that in that dream, the other party had controlled his subconscious and answered some questions.

And he was lucky enough to pass the interrogation because... he really didn't know that he was a Jing Chao spy at the time!

What a risk, I managed to escape the interrogation by some strange combination of circumstances!

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

The sound of falling blood continued, as if urging someone to die.

Chen Ji's face was calm, but his tone was urgent: "I had a dream before. In the dream, someone kept asking me if I was a Jingchao spy. At that time, I almost lost my mind, but in the end I kept my mind and answered 'no'."

Si Cao seemed a little surprised: "Mengji took action personally? You actually resisted Mengji's interrogation."

However, Si Cao did not completely believe it.

Chen Ji felt a pain in his arm, as if he had been cut by a knife again.

The sound of blood dripping disappeared, replaced by the sound of blood pouring into the tub like a thin line, pattering non-stop.

Si Cao said calmly: "No matter how fanciful you are, it may have been arranged by the Secret Service. If you want me to believe it, it proves that you are still loyal to Jing Chao. If you can't prove it, I can only kill you."

I believe your uncle will also understand me."

Chen Ji was startled for a moment, uncle?

At this time, the shopkeeper said: "Sir, don't talk nonsense to him. The Secret Service must have a conspiracy to let him live. If he is let back again, Bailu Pavilion may be destroyed one day. This is our most important thing in the south."

One of our industries, many people rely on Bailu Pavilion to support themselves."

Si Cao did not answer, but waited for Chen Ji to answer.

Chen Ji closed his eyes and thought about how he could prove that he was still loyal to Jing Chao.

When he opened his eyes again, he said categorically: "I saw the "Recent Thoughts Record" in Liu Shiyu's house, which used the reverse method to hide information, but I did not give it to Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit. In the book, Liu Shiyu

It was revealed that a big shot in the palace was in contact with our Military Intelligence Department of Jing Dynasty, and it was also revealed that the entire Liu family has turned to Jing Dynasty. If this book is handed over, I am afraid that the Liu family will not be able to escape disaster!"

Si Cao took a deep breath and asked, "Where is "Records of Recent Thoughts"?"

"Burn."

Si Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes, and thought quietly: "You are not lying about this. The Secret Service did not find the "Recent Thoughts". Afterwards, I sneaked into Liu Shiyu's mansion to find it.

I looked for it but couldn't find it. It turned out that you had hidden it in advance. It's very good..."

Chen Ji was shocked. The Military Intelligence Department of Jingchao actually knew that the Secret Intelligence Department had not obtained "Recent Thoughts"? Were there other spies in the Liu family's residence that night?!

While Si Cao was thinking about it, the shopkeeper said urgently: "Sir Si Cao, even if this guy talks extravagantly, it can't change the fact that he betrayed his colleagues. Did you know that after the Liu family rice paper shop was raided, it was widely involved, not only killing

Liu Shiyu almost caused a catastrophe!"

The traces hung upside down on the beam, and he asked solemnly: "I dare to ask, who else in our Jing Dynasty has gained the trust of the twelve zodiac signs of the secret agent department? Who else can escape Mengji's interrogation?"

Si Cao's eyes changed.

Mengji has become one of the biggest obstacles for the Military Intelligence Department to infiltrate the Secret Service. How many spies have tried to infiltrate the Secret Service, but finally fell in front of Mengji.

Now that Chen Ji has escaped the interrogation of the other party, this may really be an opportunity.

However, how can we be sure that Chen Ji really escaped trial?

Chen Ji couldn't hear Si Cao's answer for a long time, so he finally placed a big bet: "Give me a month. Within one month, I can prove that I have not betrayed and that I am loyal to Jing Dynasty."

Si Cao thought for a moment, then turned to look at the shopkeeper: "Send the message, I want to see the 'Long Whale', I have something important to tell him."

The shopkeeper hesitated to speak, but turned around and walked out.

Si Cao remained silent in the room for a long time, and finally cut the rope and let Chen Yi down.

He slowly put the dagger into the scabbard in his sleeve: "When I came to Ningchao this time, your uncle asked me to take care of you for him, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident. Don't worry, if it is true as you said, I will not only

I won’t kill you, and I will protect you. But if you lie to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Chen Ji took off the black cloth covering his head, only to see that he was still in the medicinal material warehouse, and Si Cao was holding a chicken in his hand, and the chicken blood had been poured into the wooden basin.

Chen Ji was not surprised, but still pretended to be surprised and touched his arm. There was no wound where there was pain just now.

Si Cao calmly explained: "I also hope that if you infiltrate the Secret Intelligence Department, you will not leave wounds on your body to arouse suspicion. In addition, for your uncle's sake, I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself."

My uncle is not from the Ning Dynasty, but from the Jing Dynasty? Then I am at least half of the Jing Dynasty.

Chen Ji originally thought that the Jing Dynasty would be a nomadic people with a completely different growth pattern from the Ning Dynasty. However, judging from his appearance, the Ning Dynasty and the Jing Dynasty clearly had the same origin, which was completely different from his judgment of the world.

For a moment, he felt that his identity was confusing again. No wonder the other party said...

"Betrayal of your identity, betrayal of your last name."
