The biological clock accurately woke Chen Xin up from his sleep, he opened his eyes, adjusted to the dim light of the room, and when he could see the lovely people sleeping around him, he lifted the quilt lightly.

Carefully moving a soft and smooth arm away from his body, Chen Xin slowly got up from the bed. He had been cautious in his movements, trying not to make a noise for himself. It took about two minutes just to turn over and get out of bed.

When he finally got off the ground and fumbled on the solid wooden floor to put on his shoes, he suddenly shivered from a sudden chill.

Or the heating pipe technology is not up to par, the pressure is not too much, and the room can't be too hot. There are also a little problems with the processing accuracy and metal smelting of the window frame, after a few cold and summer, under the effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the windows have been a little leaky.

Hurriedly put down the quilt that had lifted a corner, and carefully tucked the lovely body of the sleeping girl on the bed to ensure that there would be no cold wind pouring in, Chen Xin put on a nightgown and breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the dim light that shone into the room through the curtains, Chen Xin couldn't help but show a knowing chuckle when he looked at Anya's pretty face on the bed, as well as the cute sleeping posture that occasionally pursed her mouth in her sleep.

After kissing his wife on the forehead, Chen Xin turned around, walked out of the bedroom lightly, and slowly closed the door again, fortunately, he had done this action many times, and had already applied enough lubricating oil to the loose page of the door, so the door was closed again without much noise.

Chen Xin came to the next room, found his things, and began to wash in the room.

Through the window of the washroom, he saw from a distance that on the wharf not far from the palace, which was independent of the port of Yiju, dozens of "ordinary people" dressed in the costumes of the Ming people had gathered at this moment, and it seemed that they were preparing to board the ship.

Chen Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because that wharf is very close to the Liaodong boundary on the other side, when Chen Xin personally led troops to defend the Yalu River to prevent Houjin Taiji from crossing the river to attack, he built this special wharf for military purposes, so that when the river surface is frozen in winter, the river defense ships can be dispatched at any time to blast the ice surface.

Later, with the completion of two large reservoirs in the north, the Yalu River will hardly freeze again if water can be released to increase the flow during the dry season in winter.

At the same time, the size of the kingdom's warships is getting larger and larger, and this kind of dock built in shallow water is no longer enough to moor the kingdom's warships.

In addition, at the mouth of the Yalu River not far away, the port of Uiju built on the ruins, etc., this wharf was gradually abandoned.

If it weren't for the fact that this place was too close to the palace, when Chen Xin went out to patrol and take a boat, he basically took a small boat from here to the military dock of Yiju Port, and then changed to a big ship, I am afraid that this place would really become a ruin.

Although Chen Xin never said anything about pomp and circumstance, and never said anything about not allowing people to take boats here, in fact, since the establishment of this wharf, there has never been a record of ordinary people boarding ships here.

Chen Xin casually put down the towel and ordered the attendant to go downstairs to the adjutant to get a pair of binoculars.

As the lens of the telescope magnified the crowd in the distance, Chen Xin's vision became much clearer, he observed carefully, and suddenly found that it was definitely not ordinary people, because those dozens of people were extremely robust and capable.

In this era of war, there are people everywhere who can't eat enough, although in recent years, the kingdom has been able to import grain from Annam and Champa by transport ships, and no one in the country will go hungry.

However, after all, the kingdom was not long established, and the country was basically full of immigrants, and it was not possible for the thin body to develop such a strong appearance in such a short time.

Moreover, Chen Xin looked at it for so long, and found another thing, it was not possible for ordinary people to gather so many dozens of people on the dock near the palace to be interrogated by the guard flag team.

However, this group of people did not look special except for being more capable, and they could not even see the cold murderous aura common in the army.

It's weird! Plain clothes, lean, and appeared near the palace, as if to go on a boat to another place in groups, but they looked unremarkable.

Chen Xin suddenly thought of one thing, didn't there happen to be one of the resolutions made at yesterday's regular cabinet meeting, which echoed today's scene?

At this time, the staff on duty in the attendant room, the secretariat, and the adjutant's office, who happened to receive the news of Chen Xin's wake-up, had already packed up today's itinerary and came to Chen Xin's side.

So, Chen Xin directly asked, "Over there, is the action team of the General Administration of Domestic Defense and Espionage under the National Security Committee on a mission?" ”

The adjutant on duty glanced over there and immediately replied, "Your Excellency Qiqi, that team of people over there is an operational team under the General Administration of Domestic Espionage.

This morning, the palace security department received a notice from the office of the National Security Committee, saying that a task force under the General Administration of Domestic Espionage Prevention needs to borrow this dock for a personnel deployment.

Hehe, Your Majesty, there is a strange smell everywhere in this matter today, and at that time we were still wondering why we wanted to use the dock on our side. Therefore, two verifications were carried out specifically with the unit that issued the notification.

However, no matter how much we asked, we did not get a clear justification for using this pier from the safety committee.

Previously, when the group approached the outermost cordon, the guard flag team also sent personnel to check the documents and related documents they carried. It was found that all the formalities were complete, correct, true and valid.

Plus we also have no reason to refuse them to use the dock, so, ······"

When the adjutant on duty said this, he paused slightly, looked at Chen Xin's face, and then cautiously asked, "Your Excellency, did your subordinates do something wrong?" This pier is so close to the royal palace that it really shouldn't be used by unknown people. ”

Chen Xin glared at the other party angrily, "It's not my dock, why don't you let others use it?" Moreover, this is not an unidentified person, haven't you checked your documents!

Alright, don't worry about the things that are there and don't. The task force is on a mission, and you don't have to ask around, the secrecy regulations are very clear in this regard.

Is it okay to lie about today's schedule, is there anything that needs to be dealt with? ”
