In the dark night of heavy rain, more than a dozen spies walked in silence, letting the rain drizzle on their raincoats and bamboo hats.

After turning around the corner of Anxi Street, a spy brought out more than ten war horses. Everyone got on their horses and galloped away to the East Market.

The horses' hooves stepped on the stagnant water, making a sound like waves blooming on the ground.

Chen Ji survived the disaster, but he still couldn't help but feel palpitations in his heart. He could only tighten the reins to adapt to the rhythm of the galloping war horse, and barely managed not to fall under the horse.

The pain in his neck almost made him think that the Secretary was still squeezing his neck.

However, Chen Ji still has many doubts in his heart...

The golden pig sat on the horse and turned to look at him: "Today you seem to be a little different from the past. You are worried. What, did something happen at the Taiping Medical Center?"

Chen Ji's heart sank. This golden pig was good at observing people's emotions and would not let go of any clues.

He cheered up and responded: "Replying to Mr. Golden Pig, I was taught a lesson by my master later in the day. He told me not to run out too often and to concentrate on my studies."

Jin Zhu knew that Chen Ji was hinting, 'Don't come to me if you have nothing to do', but he pretended not to know and smiled: "Yao Taiyi, I was often seen in the capital in the early years. When he was in the capital, he cured the leg of the internal minister.

Ji, everyone in our Secret Service is very polite to him. It doesn't matter, you can tell the boss your identity as a spy calmly, and he will understand you."

He saw the traces and said nothing, so he calmly comforted him and said, "Are you worried that it would be too dangerous to capture Jingchao's spies? Don't worry, our Secret Intelligence Department has elite soldiers and strong generals, Bailong and Xuanshe are in the capital to capture Jingchao's Military Intelligence Department."

They dare not show their heads, corpse dogs and treasure monkeys suppressed them in Jinling. This country is still our country of Ning Dynasty, and they cannot tolerate their wantonness."

When Chen Ji heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

The Secret Intelligence Department of the Ning Dynasty has twelve zodiac animals in charge, but does the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty have only one director who is struggling to support it?

You know, in the system of the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty, the higher up the rank of Si Cao is the director. With just these two people supporting the huge Military Intelligence Department, no matter how you look at it, they feel that they are weak and weak.

However, this incident made Chen Ji suspicious: the Si Cao he saw today seemed different from the last time he saw him.

In Bailu Pavilion, when the officer killed someone, he deliberately avoided the eyes of the deceased, but tonight, the other person was staring at his eyes, as if he liked to watch the eyes of the deceased gradually lose his vitality.

In Bailu Pavilion, the Si Cao likes to use a knife. Even if he is dealing with a small role like himself, he will definitely take out a short knife. But tonight, the Si Cao did not take out the knife.

In Bailu Pavilion, the secretary mentioned his uncle several times, but he didn't mention it at all tonight.

The more Chen Ji thought about it, the more strange he felt. Is it the same person under the mask of Si Cao? If it is the same person, Bailu Pavilion's daily affairs are busy enough. How can this Si Cao have the energy to deal with the entire intelligence network of the Military Intelligence Department?

?

Chen Ji suddenly asked: "Master Jinzhu, is the head of the Military Intelligence Department hiding in our capital of Ningchao?"

Golden Pig nodded: "Well, at least that's the information we got, but the level of the spies we arrested is still too low, and no one has seen his true face so far."

Chen Ji asked again: "Who is from the Military Intelligence Department lurking over there in Jinling?"

"Of course it's Director General of the Military Intelligence Department, but I don't know who came to Luo City this time."

Chen Ji fell into deep thought.

…

…

The golden pig looked at Chen Ji and asked with a smile: "Why did you ask about their boss and boss? Do you want to arrest them? Have ambition! If you really catch them, you will really be promoted to the twelve zodiac animals.

There will be no shortage of ways to practice cultivation, and Master Nei Xiang will ensure your success."

"Oh? Cultivation methods?" Chen Ji asked doubtfully, "Are there many cultivation methods there, Master Nei Xiang?"

Jin Zhu laughed loudly: "What kind of person is Mr. Nei Xiang? Ten years ago, we collected a lot of good things from the rivers and lakes. Otherwise, why do you think Yun Yang and Jing Rabbit want to make meritorious deeds? It's not that their skills are stuck in the innate realm.

To break through the realm of seeking the Tao, you must achieve great success."

Chen Jixin said that it was so, no wonder the internal prime minister could control all the officials.

He asked again: "Master Jinzhu, since the Jingchao spy has been captured, the other party should know who the person they want to arrest is and what he looks like, so why do they still need to find me?"

Golden Pig chuckled: "I have my own arrangements."

Chen Ji frowned, he didn't understand Jin Zhu's intention.

The Golden Pig is obviously different from the Cloud Sheep and the White Rabbit. Although the face is always smiling, it is like a bottomless pit that cannot be seen through or guessed.

Everyone passed through the rain curtain and finally arrived at the Red Alley.

Hongyi Alley is the busiest place in Luo City at night. There are many brothels, gambling houses, and restaurants. If any business wants to become famous in Luo City, it must open in Hongyi Alley.

At this time, the bright lights were scattered on the buildings, and the rain curtain washed over the roof, and then hung down from the eaves to form a rain curtain.

Countless girls were wearing bright clothes, waving and teasing at the customers coming downstairs. Even the heavy rain could not stop the heat of Red Lane.

However, when more than ten cavalrymen from the Secret Service arrived, all the girls and guests saw the chilling bamboo hats and coir raincoats and hid in the building one after another. Some even hurriedly blew out the candles in the room.

In just a few breaths, the figure of the Secret Agent was poured down like a basin of ice water, and the huge red alley was as silent as cicadas, and everything was silent.

The golden pig laughed and looked at Chen Ji: "Did you see, what is the Secret Service? This is the Secret Service!"

Everyone dismounted at a gambling house called "Asakura" and walked straight inside.

But I saw that the gambling house had been controlled by dozens of spies at some point, and the gamblers and Nang furniture were squatting aside. The so-called Nang family was the role of croupier in this era, also known as the recorder.

Golden Pig lowered his voice and asked: "Where is the defected spy?"

A secret agent bowed his hands and said, "Sir, he is upstairs and he is willing to recruit you. He just has to tell you in person that he can discuss with you on condition."

"lead the way!"

Chen Ji stood aside, feeling inexplicably shocked: The Secret Service had caught the defecting spy?!

If he just followed him upstairs, wouldn't he be recognized by the other party on the spot?

What to do? Fight out?

There are so many spies here, and with my just-in-time official status, I can deal with one or two spies, so why should I kill them?

Jin Zhu walked up the stairs and looked back at Chen Ji doubtfully: "Hey, why don't you come up? There are still a lot of things to do, don't waste time."

Chen Ji said: "Sir, I would like to check downstairs to see if there are any other spies hidden among the gamblers."

The golden pig smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no, come up quickly."

Chen Ji had no choice but to put down his hat and head upstairs.

Arriving at the second floor, Jin Zhu opened the door to the side and saw a man hanging from the ceiling, his hands tied with hemp ropes hanging from the beams. Four spies were surrounding him with swords on their waists to guard him.

Chen Ji looked up cautiously, but was shocked to find that the hanged man's complexion was black and blue, his orifices were bleeding, and he was dead.

Of course, a dead person cannot identify him!

Chen Ji's palms were numb due to nervousness, but he pretended to be calm and asked: "Master Golden Pig, since he is a defected spy, he is very important, why should he be killed?"

"This person is not the defected spy, but the spy responsible for arresting the defected spy... What a mouthful! Haha, after we caught this person, he bit himself with poison," Golden Pig smiled.

said.

Chen Ji thought again in his mind that the defecting spy was not dead yet!

But seeing the golden pigs surrounding the hanged spy, he praised: "The spies of Jing Dynasty are all dead soldiers. They are cruel to others, but they are even more cruel to themselves. Over the years, my secret agent has been trying hard to catch everyone alive."

It’s difficult, do you know why?”

Chen Ji shook his head: "I don't know."

"On the one hand, it's because they clean up quickly enough. As soon as they find someone exposed, they immediately clean up the entire intelligence line from top to bottom, abandoning the car to protect the commander. Killing a few people to protect the overall situation is a wise move. As the saying goes, justice does not do business.

, Ci does not control the army, the head of the Military Intelligence Department is a powerful person."

"On the other hand, they specially select spies with families to lurk. Once the spies betray, they will arrest all their family members in Jing Dynasty. The young ones will be made into slaves and the young ones will be made into prostitutes."

"As for the old one, just ask Zhan directly."

Chen Ji felt solemn in his heart. The struggle between the spies of the two dynasties was so cruel.

He asked: "I don't know what Lord Golden Pig is going to do next. Do you need your subordinates to look for traces of the defecting spy?"

"No hurry, no hurry, we only know that the spy was injured. We could have followed the smell of blood to find him, but unexpectedly the traces were washed away by a heavy rain. Now it is difficult to find him, but it doesn't matter...

"The golden pig looked at the spy on the side: "After we come in, is there anyone who can inform us?"

The spy whispered: "It is the spy you suspect, sir, who quietly went to the latrine."

"Let him go, we'll wait here for Jing Chao's spies to kill and silence him!"

Chen Ji suddenly understood that Jinzhu did not catch the defecting spy tonight, nor did he intend to catch the defecting spy.

The other party sealed off the entire gambling den and blocked the news. They directly announced that they had caught the defecting spy and lured Director of Military Intelligence to kill him!

The bet of the Golden Pig is that the Jingchao Military Intelligence Department has not caught the defecting spy, so it must come to kill and silence him... What an amazing adaptability!

This kind of person is much more difficult to deal with than Yunyang and Jiaotu!

Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "Why did Mr. Golden Pig tell me everything?"

The Golden Pig smiled and held his hands: "You don't know something, but I am different from the White Rabbit and Yun Yang. They like to take credit, but I like to give credit!"

"Oh?" Chen Ji was confused.

The golden pig patted the back of his hand: "Those two killers are dedicated to practice and want to take credit in exchange for a higher level of practice, but I don't have that ambition, and I don't seek immortality. It's not easy to sit in the position of the twelve zodiac animals.

If I go up, I’m afraid I’ll have to cleanse myself and enter the palace to replace Lord Wu Xiu. I don’t care whether it’s the top three or the bottom nine. The bottom nine is fine. Even if the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up!”

Chen Ji is speechless, this golden pig master is well versed in the golden mean.

Golden Pig continued: "I like to make friends. The Interior Minister personally ordered you to be admitted to the Secret Service, so I know that you have caught his eye. The last time someone was specially approved to join the Secret Service was Pegasus..."

"oh?"

Jin Zhu smiled and said: "Do you know who was under Pegasus when he first started working as a spy? Under mine. At that time, I helped him perform meritorious deeds step by step, and just sent him to Pegasus' position. Now he has achieved success.

If you are the top three, you will naturally remember me. Don't worry, I'm not afraid that you will have a higher status than me in the future. The higher you sit, the better... Just don't forget me."

"So the reason you called me tonight is..."

"If we catch Jing Chao's spy tonight, half of the credit will go to you and half to me."
