The red lane is full of colors at night.

The alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations from the beginning to the end of the alley, just like a wedding every day, drinking and drinking every night to relieve sorrow, and the buildings are full of red sleeves.

The reason why Jinfang is famous is that in this bright red, every beam and column is painted golden with gold foil and gold powder. The Qianqiu Pavilion caisson in the building is inlaid with gems, which is magnificent and brilliant.

This practice is common in Jinling, but it is unique in Luocheng.

In the corner outside Hongyi Alley, the dark clouds slowly faded into darkness, while Chen Ji quietly climbed up the eaves of the wall with his hands. He jumped up with only a slight effort and stood firmly on the eaves of the wall.

Then he jumped lightly, hugged the eaves extending from the pavilion with both hands, and swung himself up to the roof.

His right leg was injured and he couldn't use his strength. Fortunately, he had lit twenty-six fires and could easily climb the stairs with his arm strength alone.

Chen Ji knelt down and looked around quietly. There was a steady flow of people downstairs, like a flowing river, and there were gray gabled roofs and rolling hills upstairs.

The ridges of the roofs are like mountain ridges. The side facing Hongyi Alley is the bright sunny side, and the other side is the dark side.

After making sure there was no one around, Chen Wei walked slowly in the shadow above the roof. He stepped lightly on the gray tiles, for fear of disturbing the people downstairs. Fortunately, the red lane was already noisy, so the sound of tiny footsteps did not count.

What.

As he walked, he looked over the ridge of the roof towards the red lane downstairs.

The traces on the gray tiles walked in the night, and the white carp and the prince in the red lane walked in the light, as if they were two parallel lines that would never intersect.

He turned around and stared at the footsteps of Bai Li and the Crown Prince, wanting to see where the Crown Prince was going. He just thought that it must not be Jinfang, as there would be danger there.

At this time, she saw hawkers coming and going with poles. Princess Baili stopped and picked a box from the pole. In the box, there were side dishes mixed with malt sugar and plum sauce, and she picked them up with a bamboo skewer.

, eat while walking.

Among the crowd and red, Bai Li and the Crown Prince are both dressed in white, like two pieces of mutton-fat jade hidden in the turbulent currents of troubled times, which are particularly eye-catching.

The next moment, Chen Ji heard the sound of tiles turning in front of him and behind him.

He suddenly turned his head and saw two men in black clothes with knives at their waists, setting up a ladder and climbing up from downstairs.

On the lonely roof, Chen Ji was startled, and the two men in black were also startled.

This is an elite man in black from the Secret Intelligence Department or the Military Intelligence Department. He climbed to the top of the building to overlook the red lane and observe the sentry... but he happened to meet Chen Ji!

In an instant, two men in black drew their swords silently, and stepped on the sloping gray tiles one after another to cover them up.

Chen Ji secretly screamed that he was unlucky. When he first climbed up, he was worried that someone had the same idea as him, so he climbed up after making sure that there was no one on the roof.

At that time, he was still wondering if there was no one to occupy such a good observation post position. The Military Intelligence Department and the Secret Intelligence Department had really poor awareness of small-scale battlefield layout.

Whoever thought it was, it’s not that the other party didn’t expect it, but it was too late!

There was singing and dancing in the red room downstairs, and murderous intent appeared in the night upstairs. None of the three people shouted or spoke, as if they were all afraid of being discovered by the outside world.

Chen Ji ran quickly. He tried his best to control himself and ignore the pain in his legs, letting himself run like a normal person. He ran out before the two men in black surrounded him to avoid the danger of being attacked from both front and back.

However, these two men in black were also experienced in many battles. After seeing through the traces of his intentions, they immediately changed their course of action and blocked his direction of action in tandem.

The roof is such a large area, and there is no way to retreat except by jumping off the roof.

He stood on the edge of the eaves, looked at the height of more than six meters, and then thought about his injured leg. After careful consideration, he retreated.

While he was thinking, two elites had already arrived in front of Chen Ji, slashing him with their swords at the same time!

Two long knives strangled him like scissors, the blades of the long knives reflecting the red light in the alley!

As he breathed, Chen Ji's knife skills engraved on his bones seemed to be awakened, and suddenly burst out in his heart like the sound of a hammer being forged. He swung two knives back and forth as fast as thunder.

The trajectory was faster than that of the two men in black. Although the knife was drawn late, it came first. The trajectory of the knife was like a white deer in the forest, understated and natural.

There were two clanging sounds of gold and iron, and they were drowned in the noise of the red lane, but they saw the forged steel long knife of a man in black break in response, and the broken blade fell on the tilted tiles with a clang, and followed the sound.

The roof slid down into the dark courtyard at the back. Although the knife of the other man in black was not broken, it was knocked off his hand.

Chen Ji was startled, and the two elites were also startled again.

The pupils of the three people suddenly shrank, as if they had seen something incredible.

Wrong gold.

Chen Ji once asked Feng Huai what the move was that caused the hand to hurt when he hit the blade. Feng Huai replied that he had to use gold to find a flaw and break the knife. If not for the special material of the whale, it would have been broken long ago.

.

But now, a young apprentice in a medical clinic who should have fled in embarrassment under the siege, but with the instinct that has been tempered for many times, he took action and actually used the short knife used in the medical clinic to chop medicinal materials, cutting off one knife and knocking the knife away. If

This is not the first time that Chen Ji has used wrong gold with outsiders. He is still a little unfamiliar, so he is afraid that the two swords will break together.

The two men in black looked at each other. They felt that tonight was a bit strange. It was okay to meet a swordsman of this level on this lonely roof. Why did this swordsman just run away? Why was this swordsman so different from them?

Still shocked?!

As everyone knows, when Chen Ji and Feng Huai were fighting, he felt that he couldn't use any of his strength. The opponent had no flaws and always suppressed him to fight. When he was against someone like Feng Huai, he would always feel a sense of powerless frustration.

I feel so bad that I even wonder if I don’t have the talent to practice swordsmanship.

But when he changed his opponent to someone other than Feng Huai, everything seemed to be different.

The two men in black lowered their heads and took another look at the broken blade. A trace of fear arose in their hearts, but since they were here, there was no reason to back down.

The two of them threw away the broken knives at the same time, pulling out the dagger from their waists and stabbing with the firm will cultivated in the bitter cold land.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, feinting and attacking, one false and one real, blocking Chen Ji's possible escape route.

However, Chen Ji suddenly felt that compared with Feng Huai, these two people were full of flaws.

When two daggers were stabbed one after another, Chen Ji turned his body slightly to avoid the trajectory of the two daggers. He grabbed the wrist of one of them with his left hand and pulled the other person like a pair of iron pincers, unable to withdraw the dagger.

go.

With a slight movement of his right hand, the blade of the knife broke the tendon of the other person's hand. With a clang, the dagger fell on the gray tiles of the roof and rolled into the yard under the eaves.

The man in black, whose hand tendon was severed, quickly retreated.

Chen Ji pulled the other man's wrist, like a puppet, and chased the man in black who was retreating. He thrust the knife at him. The short knife stabbed into the heart, spleen, and liver again and again, and the last knife wiped out the neck.

Another man in black had his wrists restrained and pulled, and could only stagger to keep up. He watched helplessly as his colleague was stabbed one after another, but he could not even stand firm.

Before he could figure out how to break free from Chen Ji's wrist, he saw the cold light of the sword suddenly reverse and swipe across his neck under the moonlight.

Stars of blood spattered lightly on Chen's charcoal-dusted face. He slowly let go, letting the man in black slowly fall to his knees.

Chen Ji rummaged through the corpses and found out that the spies under the Golden Pig all carried a copper whistle that could imitate bird calls to convey messages, but these two people did not have one.

This is shopkeeper Yuan.

…

…

The wound on his leg was stinging. He didn't feel it when they were fighting. Now, Chen Ji discovered that the old wound was torn during the fighting.

Chen Ji wiped the blood on his hand so that the knife would not be slippery when he held it, but it was no use.

He lowered his head and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and wrapped it around his hand. Then he raised his head and looked over the roof towards the Red Clothes Alley. At some point, a few people from the world gathered around the Crown Prince and Bai Li, chatting happily with each other.

But they saw that Princess Baili and the Crown Prince had already reached the gate of Jinfang, and Miss Yan'er walked out of the door and welcomed them in with a smile.

Sure enough, we were going to Jinfang.

Chen Ji sighed in his heart and stood silently on the roof, quickly looking around.

He couldn't care about the Crown Prince and Bai Li anymore, he had to find Shopkeeper Yuan as soon as possible.

In Hongyi Alley, more and more people walked into Jinfang, but they never saw the figure of shopkeeper Yuan. I wonder if the other party has not come or has already gone in?

etc.

Chen Ji saw a crowd of people moving in the darkness outside Hongyi Alley. He saw hundreds of spies carrying swords at their waists, divided into two teams and surrounding them from the head and end of the alley. Among the crowd, the golden pig was also wearing a light armor.

, without the warm smile of the past, he looked more like a general driving directly in front of the palace.

Further away, Chen Ji saw five hundred cavalry guards with their horses' hooves wrapped in linen, and everyone wearing hats and raincoats, standing quietly in the dark night outside the alley with guns in hand.

The leader stood motionless on his sword and saddle.

Lin Chaoqing...

Lin Chaoqing is here too!

Chen Ji lamented that Jinzhu was too cautious. He had just received clues about the missing firearm from the craftsmanship supervisor, and he even cooperated with the chief criminal department and directly transferred all the trouble-relieving guards from Mengjin camp!

Lin Chaoqing sat on a horse at the entrance of the red alley and said calmly: "All the twelve zodiac signs in the Secret Service are impulsive and reckless. The last time the White Rabbit and Cloud Sheep intervened to trouble the guards, they landed themselves in jail. I don't know, Mr. Golden Pig, you are so

What will happen next?"

The golden pig chuckled: "Can I be the same as them? I have already found the Jing Dynasty thief, and not only the outside thief, but also the domestic thief."

"Oh? The Golden Pig's reputation is very strict, and there was no sign of leakage before," Lin Chaoqing said with a smile: "Since you arrived at Mengjin Camp, you have been clamoring to eat the big carp from the Yellow River every day, so I ordered my Jiefanwei to catch it for you.

Fish, I thought you only knew how to eat. The White Rabbit and the Cloud Sheep have learned from the past. This time, if you don’t tell me what you are going to do, I will not take action.”

Jinzhu smiled: "Commander Lin, please don't be angry. You are in charge of the Yuzhou Criminal Division. Naturally, I have to let you know why you came to mediate Fanwei. Commander Lin, do you think the thieves from Jing Dynasty want to steal from our Ning Dynasty the most?"

What?"

"March formation plan, court secrets, firearms."

"That's right, Zhou Chengyi had always wanted to incite rebel craftsmen to serve as supervisors, which means their biggest target is firearms. So after I arrived in Luo City, the first thing I did was to monitor all the sales of saltpetre and sulfur, and the second thing was to track down

The inventories and accounts of the Craftsman Supervisor. A few days ago, I found that the inventory of firearms in the Craftsman Supervisor did not match the account books, and a few drawings were missing. Then I followed the clues and caught six people, some from the Cao Gang and some from the Craftsman Supervisor.

Yes, eventually I discovered that the missing batch of firearms ended up here, Hongyi Lane."

Lin Chaoqing was confused: "There are so many brothels in Hongyi Lane, which one is it? Do you know that everyone who can do business in Hongyi Lane has a profound background? You don't want Jiefangwei to search all the brothels, right?"

The golden pig chuckled: "I set up a trap earlier and captured twelve spies alive in the Chaocang Gambling House. Eleven of them committed suicide by swallowing poison. In the end, one of the survivors turned traitor. He told me that he had been instructed by Director General of the Military Intelligence Department.

, I came to Jinfang to pick up a batch of goods. Logically speaking, the Jing Dynasty thieves would not be stupid enough to trade in the same place twice, so I just arranged a few spies to monitor this place at the beginning, which was considered a casual move.

Who would have known that today another suspicious person suddenly transported a batch of goods into Jinfang, and I caught him."

Lin Chaoqing no longer questioned, he knew that the Golden Pig was a popular man under the command of the Internal Minister, and had made great contributions. The reason why the opponent was still in the lower nine zodiac signs was not because of lack of ability, but because the relationship between the Golden Pig and the Pegasus was so good.

The relationship between the above three zodiac signs is not allowed to be so good.

Some people speculate that if the Sick Tiger abdicates in recent years, the Golden Pig may take over.

But Lin Chaoqing knew that with Mr. Nei Xiang's character, as long as Pegasus survived, Golden Pig would never stand a chance.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Master Golden Pig, I will do whatever you want to do tonight. Just don't make any mistakes."

"Your words are enough," Jin Zhu made several gestures to his spies.

Thousands of secret spies rushed into Hongyi Alley to arrest people. For a moment, the war was in chaos. Guests in restaurants and brothels fled in a hurry, fearing that they would be affected by this incident.

They wanted to escape from Hongyi Alley, but they were blocked by the cavalry from the Jiefan Guards at the entrance to the north and south alleys, making it impossible for them to escape.

Chen Ji was hiding on the roof when he suddenly saw the prince, Bai Li and the knights and knights running out of Jinfang. Seeing that the roads at both ends were blocked, they simply rushed into the restaurant opposite Jinfang and wanted to go to the restaurant at Chen Ji's feet.

You have to go through the restaurant lobby and escape over the wall in the backyard!

When the six spies discovered their attempt to escape, they immediately gave up arresting the others and chased them into the restaurant with knives.

Chen Ji stood on the edge of the eaves and looked down at his feet. He saw a few people from the world around the prince come to the backyard and crossed the two-meter-high courtyard wall with just a slight flip.

The prince shouted from the partition wall in the backyard: "Hey, give me your hand and help us climb over!"

The people in the world stopped, one person jumped up, lay on the wall and stretched out his hand: "Grab my hand, I will pull you up."

But before the prince could grab his hand, he saw six secret spies chasing him in with knives...

"Let's go!"

The next moment, the knights and knights abandoned the prince and Bai Li, turned around and ran away without a trace in the small alley outside the courtyard wall.

Chen Ji frowned, there was something fishy about this matter.

If the prince is here just for fun, then he only needs to stay there and wait for the Secret Service to investigate.

Once the matter is cleared up and there are no suspicions, it will be fine.

Why take the risk and escape?
