At night, the rivers stretch through the city like a belt. Where the light is brighter, the water ribbon also swayes, and beside the darker streets, the water is silent in the darkness, except for the occasional boat, which lights up and slowly glides through the field of vision.

The four seasons are brightly lit inside and outside, and the three buildings hanging from the eaves and corridors decorate the street beautifully, and on the nearby streets, passers-by can't help but look at this side a few times, and the building is a warm atmosphere. Today's four seasons of fasting, there are both literary meetings, there are performances, at this time the building in the banquet and drink has not stopped, since this time in the city in the green building invited several popular prostitutes have begun to sing lyrics and songs.

After the city of Hangzhou was broken, although Fang La had decided to use this place as the foundation of the country, he restrained his subordinates, but in the initial chaos, it is difficult to list the experiences encountered by the women who remained in the city. The originally thriving wind and dust industry has also been hit hard, but the soldiers who entered the city caught men, and there were all kinds of abuse and killing, but what could be used on women was always that kind of thing.

In the early days, there were countless women who committed suicide after being ruined or killed in the ravages, and there were also many martyrs who died due to humiliation in the Qinglou, but in general, in this environment, the ability to withstand blows in this regard is always much stronger. After the most chaotic time, some people avoided the chaos, some people found backers, and some people continued to use the skills of long-sleeved dancing.

At this time, the famous prostitutes in Hangzhou have changed a batch compared to a few months ago, and they feel different, losing their original spirituality, and having more awe and restraint. But as long as you don't dig deeper, the person who can replace him will always have a good art industry. And the uncertainty hidden in it can sometimes be regarded as pitiful, which has a different flavor. After a few performances. The atmosphere in the hall has become more and more enthusiastic. Some people have poems written and passed on for appreciation.

Today's gathering, although there is also the atmosphere of the cultural meeting, but in general. It is not the same as the general sense of the cultural society. Zhu Yanlin was an official, in the Fangla court at this time. The people who interacted with each other could not just be literati, and some of the martial artists who were good friends with Lu were actually involved. Above the party. There can be no too coercive rules, only the host or people who want to be in the limelight try their best to arouse the interest in writing poems and lyrics, and because there are many circles in the Fang La system at this time, at the beginning of the banquet, there are people walking around with wine glasses to chat and say hello, and this is also the time when the situation is hot.

Crowded and lively. Next to a banquet on the second floor, something was happening at this time. The scholar with the wine glass waved his hand, turned around and walked forward, and suddenly touched the man next to him.

"Be careful."

"Hey......"

Bang, bang......

What happened was not a big deal, the scholar did not knock over the table, but accidentally, knocked over the sauce dish next to him on his clothes, he just stumbled and stood firm, but the sauce on the clothes always left traces, and he couldn't wipe it off for a while. The scholar spread his hands with some distress, and the people next to him greeted him with a word or two, and then someone from Sijizhai came to check, and then arranged a room and clothes for him to change under the instructions of the shopkeeper.

After greeting the white-clothed scholar who came not far away, he went up to the third floor under the guidance of the little servant.

The first and second floors of Shikisai are now used as a hall for drinking and feasting, and the third floor is also lit up, but there are no people. The scholar entered the room where the oil lamp had just been lit, changed his clothes, and then looked out in front of the window.

“…… According to Ning Gongzi's instructions, the news that you are still safe has been sent back, and Mrs. Zun and her family are safe and sound...... The fetus in Mrs. Zun's womb is also well........., if someone is also in this room at this time, they may hear the sound of small conversations going on in this space.

"You didn't alarm the government or the army, did you?"

"Ning Gongzi specially advised, so we didn't make any extraneous branches, except for Mrs. Zun, this information was only transmitted to the top line in a single line, but ...... I think Ning Gongzi is inevitably too cautious......"

"If you can't lose once, you have to be careful. Liu Dabiao arranged for someone to be next to my wife, and if those who want to make meritorious contributions know the truth, it will only be our husband and wife who will die...... Is the one above you still brought? ”

"Answering Ning Gongzi out of the city is the first priority, but everything is dominated by Ning Gongzi's arrangement...... It also says that you should remember to take care of yourself. ”

At this time, the secret conversation here is naturally the secret agent Wen Ren arranged by Ning Yi and Qin Siyuan on Fang La's side, and the reason why the location of the joint this time was set in Sijizhai Ning Yi also knew at this time, Wen Ren's identity here is the shopkeeper of the Hundred Years Hall Ren Sijizhai. Ning Yi already had a lot of distrust of the official's strength, but Wen Ren was obviously a little different, and when it came to handing over the command to him, Ning Yi shook his head.

"I don't understand these things, you are an expert, how you want to act, or you arrange, but I want to know who is in charge of your next line, and how I should contact him if something goes wrong......

"This natural ......"

The small system where Wenren Fuji is located does not belong to the official organization directly under the Six Gates, it was originally a secret investigation department set up to deal with the Liao people, and there are not many people who have dispersed, and it is only for the purpose of filling in the gaps in major matters. Despite this, as the supreme person in charge of Fang La's side, there are still many things on his head, and Qin Siyuan directly used him to be responsible for Ning Yi's single line in this matter, which is enough to see that the old man attaches great importance to this matter.

After exchanging some necessary information, Wen Renji said: "The most important thing now is to escort Ning Gongzi out of here, according to expectations, in the past month, the situation in Hangzhou will probably become more and more tense, if you want to leave, it is best to arrange it within half a month." Now that we have a certain understanding of the situation in the Badao Battalion, if Ning Gongzi has any knowledge......

"I may not be able to leave for a while." Ning Yi shook his head, and then paused, "In the Fang La army, there are quite a few people in the green forest, I heard that there are some methods. It can make people have a special scent, and this smell can be tracked with trained Gu worms. They talked. I started out as myths, but later I didn't think they were fakes...... Does Brother Wenren know that there is such a thing in Lu Dao? ”

Wen Ren's face changed: "In the area of Xiangxi, there is indeed this kind of method in the Gu cultivation technique, but that kind of Gu worm is extremely difficult to raise. It can only be used by one person, and it doesn't live long...... This kind of method is only used on extremely important people......" He glanced at Ning Yi. Then he frowned and thought about it.

"It's not that there is no solution, as long as you know who the insect keeper is, the worm that kills him is. Or know when the worm will die. When the time comes, wait for the opportunity to escape. There are also a number of ways to dilute this kind of tracking technique...... I will investigate these things, Ning Gongzi can rest assured. ”

"There are really these things...... Ning Yi smiled and nodded, in fact, this kind of thing is not very strange, and carrier pigeons can reach their destination thousands of miles away. It is naturally impossible to say that it is as accurate as radar, but on the side of these martial arts people who are strong in martial arts and proficient in survival in the wild. Even if you can only determine a general direction, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to escape. He was probably mentally prepared before, but he didn't mind at this time.

"These things, trouble Brother Wenren, but if you can't do it, I plan to send away the maid next to me first. This thing should still be feasible. ..., there was silence for a moment, and Wen Renji obviously didn't agree with this matter: "Ning Gongzi, I'm afraid this matter is ......"

Ning Yi waved his hand: "Send her away, so I have the heart to stay here and do something...... It's not a big problem, I've already calculated it before. Next door to the courtyard where I currently live, there is an old doctor who has no children under his knees, he is quite prestigious in the Badao camp, Xiaochan has been helping in the hospital during this time, and the old doctor treats her like a daughter. If it's just a general situation, the old man won't help, but if I offend someone, whether it's Li Tianyan or Shi Bao, it's enough to confront Liu Dabiao, I'm in danger, it's easy to affect the people around me, when the pressure comes down, I will ask the old doctor to at least send Xiaochan away. During this period...... It also needs the assistance of Brother Wenren. ”

Wen Ren was stunned for a long time, and he naturally checked the situation around Ning Yi: "Ning Gongzi...... Since more than a month ago...... That's what you're arranging? ”

"It's not about arrangement, it's just a rainy day, that old man has a hard personality, but he understands the cruelty of the world better, when the time comes, just ask him, he will help. This is the most mature way at the moment, if he doesn't help, think of other ways. ”

"But once this happens, it will be really difficult for you to leave again, and it may even be life-threatening......"

"Give it a go." Ning Yi said, "It's good to be able to go together, but if she can't, she stays, and I won't have a chance to leave in the future." You say things will go bad in a month...... How's the North Side playing? ”

"Jiaxing has been relieved, but Fang Qifo gathered troops, and the troops of General Tong were pinned down on the line of Xiuzhou, and the rear continued to harvest and burn, after this battle, between Hangzhou and Jiaxing and Huzhou, the imperial court had no harvest......"

"Sure enough......" Ning Yi nodded, "In your opinion, how long can Hangzhou hold on?" ”

"I don't know what to do, but for half a year to a year, I'm afraid it's ......"

These things have nothing to do with ordinary intelligence officers, but when it comes to it, Wen Renji obviously frowned, and Ning Yi was also a little silent. He didn't know much about this section of Fang La's history, he only knew that Lu Dao Fang La was defeated at the very end, but he also dragged Tong Guan's more than 100,000 troops in the south. Now it seems that Fang La's capture of Hangzhou is just in time for the grain harvest season, after it looted the grain near Hangzhou, the burden of the Wu Dynasty court must be heavier, if they drag on for a year or two, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

"The thing...... Let's decide this for now. I'm doing well in the Badao Camp now, Li Tianyan came back, pressed over, I had no choice but to send Xiaochan away, as long as I didn't leave, they wouldn't kill me. If you think I'm valuable, it's the best situation. If it doesn't work, you tell the above, I'm here to teach a group of upright students, and it can be regarded as a small effort. ”

Ning Yi said, shook his head and smiled, and thought for a while: "Teach ...... A student of integrity? ”

"Hmm." Ning Yi nodded and sighed, "In this world now, integrity is to be the enemy of the world, let them have a little internal friction, I can't do more things anyway." ”

After talking about these things with Wen Ren, Ning Yi went out and went downstairs, the hall was still warm, but he could hear a song "Wanghai Tide" being sung on the stage, and the singer was singing: "Chonghu is stacked with Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, and ten miles of lotus." Qiang Guan made it clear, Lingge was in the night, frolicking and fishing for the lotus baby...... "Lou Shuwan listened over there, and when she saw Ning Yi coming down, she said with a smile: "Sing your words." There were also people in the hall who knew him like Liu Xiyang, and at this time, they all looked over, and someone had already come over from the crowd, and it seemed that they were going to greet him.

At this moment, the sound of commotion faintly came from the east.

At first, the sound of gongs, trumpets and shouts, mixed together as if in battle, gradually rose up. At this time, Hangzhou was only after the war, and many of the people who gathered had been through the battlefield began to go to the window to look out, and some even went to the top of the third floor.

In the distance, chaos soon took shape, columns of smoke and red light rose into the sky, and soldiers on horseback and armed with knives poured into the streets on that side. The news from the various families and small servants also quickly spread in the ears of everyone.

At the end of Ye Huang, on the seventh day of the ninth month, the newly established Yongle Dynasty ushered in the first rebellion.

Qi Yuankang, the governor of the government, reversed.

Ning Yi only had a certain impression of this name, he was the same as Lou Minzhong and Bao Daoyi, and he was one of the top members of the Fang La army. At this time, Ning Yi had heard that this Qi Yuankang was once one of the Zhao'an factions in the Fang La army.

Standing in front of the window of Sijizhai with Lou Shuwan, Ning Yi had already understood what the big event that Liu Dabiao was talking about tonight. Li Tianyan has not yet returned, and the first purge of the Fang La military system has begun......
