Although he was alert in his heart, King Xia Wen still opened it to check.

There was not much content in the letter, just a few lines. King Xia Wen read it after just two glances.

"Xue Kang'an, go and call Qu Xiuwen."

"promise!"

After a while, Qu Xiuwen walked in, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the king."

King Xia Wen handed him the secret letter and asked, "Tell me what you think."

After Qu Xiuwen quickly read it, he praised, "Young Master's plan of killing two birds with one stone is really clever."

"Let the king spread the news, and then loudly reprimand the ministers who want to reduce the vassal state in the court, and then arrest some people who are related to the aristocratic families and have them beheaded."

"Not only is it killing two birds with one stone, but it is also a plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger. It just makes the king delay for a while. Why is this?"

King Xia Wen smiled and said, "With Zhao'er's temperament, if he doesn't fight Goguryeo, he will feel bad in his heart."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When everyone was happy, a flash of horror flashed in King Xia Wen's eyes.

It only took a day or two from the time the rumor came out to Zhao'er's letter. How on earth did he deliver the news? Such a speed was beyond common sense.

Xia Kingdom, the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, inside a luxurious mansion.

Several messengers saluted an old man one after another.

"We have met the King of the East!" the envoys said respectfully in unison.

King Dong, who was sitting in the main seat, chuckled, showing a kind and friendly smile, "Everyone, please take your seats."

"Nuo~~!" The envoys sat down in their respective positions one after another. Those with sharp eyes will find that the positions they sit in are equivalent to their own status, and they dare not make any overstep.

"King Dong, I wonder, have you heard about the rumors about Chao Xian?" The first messenger asked directly, unable to bear his temper.

Dong Wang nodded and waved to everyone, "Everyone, you are so tired from traveling, why not have some food and wine first."

The envoys looked at me and I looked at you. They immediately picked up their wine glasses and handed each other over, drinking them all in one gulp.

After drinking a few glasses of water and wine and eating a few large pieces of meat, some of the envoys were obviously in a good mood.

"This wine~~~ is from General Lie? Dongwang, we are flattered by the expense."

King Dong sang a little song and said with a smile, "I heard that this wine was brewed by Wu Anjun. It is as strong as fire and goes into the throat like a knife. The aftertaste is sweet and mellow, which is amazing."

"Jun Wu'an? You're just a fool." A messenger said disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate this Mr. Wu'an. Wine is like a man. To be able to make such a fine wine, he must not be an ordinary person."

Everyone looked at each other and felt that there was something in King Dong's words.

Dong Wang saw that the atmosphere was about the same, and gradually put away his smile, "I deliberately spread the rumors about Chao Xian."

All the messengers were immediately in an uproar.

"This, doesn't this mean that the king has no intention of reducing the vassal state?"

"yes."

"Hey, with this news, my king has trouble sleeping and eating."

King Dong touched his beard and said disdainfully, "I spread the news, but no one said the news was false."

"Oh? King Dong, I would like to hear the details."

"Haha, I sacrificed a secret weapon and stole the information in the Chaoxian Palace. The king has plans to reduce the vassal. Everyone, what are the plans of the kings behind you?" ωωw.

An envoy stood up excitedly and said loudly, "My king, let me wait to find out the opinion of King Dong."

Dong Wang nodded and secretly cursed, "A bunch of masters who don't see rabbits and don't let go of hawks."

"In one month, it will be my sixtieth birthday. Then let your master come to my place and get together."

"No~~~!"

When the East King was triumphant, there were some ordinary-looking people in different clothes on the chassis of the seven counties.

Some of them are merchants, some are traffickers, and some are students. They don't know each other and look calm.

A student wearing a green shirt came to a shop and selected a brush. He frowned from time to time, choosing between two brushes.

"Seller, how much do these two cost?"

The shopkeeper looked at him. He saw an ordinary green shirt with some damage at the edges. He said disdainfully, "There is a basket at the door, each one costs 100 yuan."

"What about what I'm holding?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You can't afford it."

The student's face instantly turned red, and he said in a deep voice, "You, you are too bitchy and look down on others."

"The one in your left hand has one coin, and the one in your right hand has two coins."

The scholar's hand suddenly shook, then he carefully put the pen away, dug into his sleeve pocket and took out a broken money bag, poured out a small amount of small coins, and counted them carefully.

The scholar was stunned, quickly untied the rope, took out two coins and stuffed them into his arms.

The shopkeeper smiled disdainfully, and the young man's face turned red. He came to the door, grabbed two brushes and disappeared.

A waiter smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you are really good at reading people."

The shopkeeper said proudly, "Humph, you can tell at a glance that this person is a student from You Fang, but his family background is not very good, the robes he wears are all damaged, and he doesn't have much money."

"My eyes are as sharp as a torch." The clerk gave a thumbs up and flattered him.

In a store that sells pens, inks, paper and inkstones, even the clerks have some ink.

The scholar had a look of resentment on his face, and kept muttering something like, "What's the big deal? It's a black shop."

When many people saw the scholar coming out of the place where he purchased paper and pens, they immediately looked astonished, thinking that he was being stabbed.

Not long after, the scholar returned to the rented house. This house was a dilapidated bungalow with a small yard. It might be located in a remote place, so the rent was cheap.

"Madam, I'm back."

An ordinary-looking village woman walked out of it. After wiping her hands on her body, she helped the scholar dust himself off.

"Have you bought the things?"

The scholar suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "The pens here are too expensive, so I just bought two."

The village woman smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be fine once you settle down."

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a small sling of coins from her arms and stuffed it into the scholar's hand.

The two looked at each other and returned to the house.

"I made some food for you, please eat it quickly."

Tiny sounds came from inside the house.

There are also some families nearby, they are all ordinary tenant farmers or residents, and they are very curious when they see the new scholar and his wife.

When the two were talking, several neighbors couldn't help but laugh and said, "They really love each other very much."

Inside the room, the expressions of the two people changed, and the scholar and the village woman kept a little distance from each other.

"What is your identity?" the scholar asked in a low voice, his right hand deep into his arms, apparently touching something.

The village woman took out a token from her arms, and saw "Tian Shou" written on the front and "Bing 108" written on the back.

The scholar's expression changed, he immediately became relaxed, and he also took out a token from his arms.

On the front, it says "Tian Shou." On the reverse, it says "Jia Lu Wu Ba".

The scholar sat on the desk with a leisurely look on his face. The village woman smiled and said, "You were so alert just now, why are you so relaxed now?"

The scholar glanced at her, "You are a C-level expert. If we fight with you, we will die more than live, so why bother."

The village woman came over, kicked him and said, "Stop eating, finish your business first, and then eat."

"Okay~~~!"

After the woman moved the bed, a basement appeared, with a large number of surveillance records and a wireless phone neatly stacked underneath.

"Wow, senior, did you do this alone?"

"Yes." The woman nodded, then dialed the phone and reported the scholar's number back, indicating that she had arrived at work.

After making the phone call, the scholar still needs to say a few words, which means that he has not been captured by the enemy.

The village woman took out a bamboo slip from the shelf and handed it to the scholar and said, "This is our identity. I came a month earlier than you and lived by sewing. I am waiting for you to come. You are a scholar and your family has fallen here to earn a living."

.”

"good."

Suddenly the scholar was startled: "Then where should I sleep?"

"Sleep with me, but if you dare to do something bad, trust me, you will regret it."

The scholar trembled all over and was joking. Just by looking at the font size, he knew that this woman was not easy to mess with.
