Qinglong City, the backyard of a grocery store,

A Hu man in his forties was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and a serious expression, he was the mysterious middle-aged Hu man who had contacted the commander of the Shazhou Guard, Tahar.

The middle-aged Hu Ren's name was Chaman, and he was the head of the Northern Yuan's intelligence network in Qinglong City, and he was highly regarded by Gu Chen.

Chaman's identity in Qinglong City is the owner of this grocery store, secretly operating the city's intelligence network, and the Xiaowu Military Supervision Department suddenly used the children of the city's private school as a breakthrough a few days ago, and successively terminated Beiyuan's two contact points in Qinglong City, giving Beiyuan's intelligence network a huge blow.

If it weren't for Chaman who received the news in time and killed the old man who poured the night incense before the Xiaowu Army Inspectorate, then Beiyuan's intelligence network in Qinglong City would have suffered heavy losses.

Chaman didn't expect that the counterattack of the Inspectorate Department of the Guanxi Qinglong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army would be so sharp, and he easily found a breakthrough from the child of a private school student, and almost caused a big disaster.

"Boss, I've already found out clearly, the last time the investigation of the city's private schools was led by the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department, and the purpose was to cast nets to catch fish, and it didn't target any private school." A young man from the Western Regions who looked like a man walked over and whispered beside Chaman, "According to the news from the inside, since the rice shop was burned, King Zhongwu has been extremely angry, and now the people of the Xiaowu Army Inspectorate are panicking, and they are busy catching spies in the whole city. ”

"Tell me to go down, let everyone be honest during this time, and wait for this period of limelight." Hearing this, Chaman had a complicated look on his face, waved his hand to the guy, and said in a deep voice.

If Chaman knew that the fire in the rice shop would make the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department go all out to investigate the affairs of the spies in the city, he would not have burned the rice shop to see Gu Chen off, and what made him especially depressed was that although the rice shop was burned, it did not meet his previous expectations at all, and it did not cause panic to the residents of the city at all, but made Li Yuntian seize this opportunity to buy people's hearts, which made him feel very disappointed in his heart.

Before, Chaman was still wondering why Gu Chen was so jealous of Li Yuntian, but now he finally understood, Li Yuntian was really a very powerful opponent, and he counterattacked the fire in the rice shop in an instant, fortunately, Gu Chen's intelligence network in Qinglong City adopted a single-line contact model, and formulated a set of early warning measures, otherwise Beiyuan's intelligence network in Qinglong City would be over.

Although the people from the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department have now released news that the surprise inspection of the private school is the arrangement of the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department, Chaman knows that this is just a trick, and it must be an idea that Li Yuntian came up with, otherwise how could the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department not think of starting from the private school for so long?

At the same time, Chaman was also extremely annoyed, he could not have imagined that the couple would sort out the information collected in front of the children, this kind of behavior is really too stupid.

"Hmph, I want to see what you're capable of!" For Li Yuntian's sharp counterattack, Chaman was not convinced, thinking that there was a lot of luck in it, and after the subordinate left, he sneered and said in a low voice.

"Lord Wang, it's time for you to go to the first birthday banquet of Lord Lu's family." That afternoon, when Li Yuntian was reviewing the official document in the study, Lin Xin walked in and said with a smile.

"Look at my memory." Li Yuntian couldn't help but reach out and pat his forehead when he heard this, he was so busy during this time that he forgot about such an important matter

Lu Minen took a beautiful woman from the Western Regions as a concubine in Guanxi, and the concubine gave birth to a son to him a year ago, and today Lu Minen's son is just one year old, so the first birthday banquet was held according to custom.

As the commander of the Qinglong Battalion in Guanxi of the Xiaowu Army, and also the general of Li Yuntian's descendants, he naturally wanted to go to the first birthday banquet of Lu Minen's son.

"By the way, what is the name of Lord Lu's concubine?" On the way to Lu Minen's mansion, in the four-wheeled carriage, Li Yuntian suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Xin, who was sitting opposite.

"Lord Wang, Lord Lu's concubine's name is Youlan, a very beautiful name, and the person is also very beautiful." Lin Xin smiled slightly, she had seen Lu Minen's concubine once, and her impression of the concubine was very good.

"Youlan?" Li Yuntian smiled and nodded, this name is indeed quite beautiful, he has never seen Youlan due to his busy official duties.

When Li Yuntian's carriage came to Lu Minen's mansion, Lu Minen was already waiting in front of the mansion with Bai An and others, and when they saw the car coming, they greeted them one after another, and hugged Li Yuntian into the mansion with a smile.

Since it was the first birthday banquet, the first thing Li Yuntian did when he arrived at Lu Mansion was naturally to visit Lu Minen's son, Lu Minen's concubine Youlan came to see Li Yuntian with the child, and it was really a beautiful and beautiful woman from the Western Regions, and the child in her arms had the face of a person from the Western Regions.

"This is the king's gift to the child." After teasing the little guy for a while, Li Yuntian took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Youlan with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Hearing this, Youlan couldn't help but look at Lu Minen on the side, and saw Lu Minen nodding with a smile, so she bowed to Li Yuntian and accepted the priceless jade pendant, it was obvious that Li Yuntian's gift was definitely worth a lot.

"Have we met before?" After handing over the jade pendant to Youlan, Li Yuntian glanced at her and asked tentatively, he felt that Youlan seemed to be familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Lord Wang, the little girl has never met the prince before." Youlan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head with a smile.

"Yes, I guess this king is mistaken." Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a smile to Lu Minen, Bai An and the others on the side, "It seems that this king has been busy and dizzy during this time, and he has actually mistaken people." ”

"The prince has a lot of opportunities, and the women in the Western Regions look very similar, so it is reasonable for the prince to mistakenly admit it." Lu Minen laughed when he heard this, he knew that Youlan had never met Li Yuntian, and in the eyes of the people in the Guan, the women in the Western Regions did look very similar.

The banquet in the evening was very lively, and everyone was chatting and laughing, diluting the haze of war that shrouded over Qinglong City.

"Do you think that Youlan is very familiar?" After the banquet, Lu Minen, Bai An and others sent Li Yuntiangong to the car, and when they returned to their residence, Li Yuntian couldn't help but ask Lin Xin.

Although various factors showed that Li Yuntian had never met Youlan before, Li Yuntian's subconscious told him that he seemed to have seen Youlan somewhere before, or that he had seen someone similar to Youlan.

"Lord Wang, we really haven't seen Youlan before." Lin Xin thought about it and said to Li Yuntian with certainty.

"You go and check if Youlan has any sisters." Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew that Lin Xin would never lie, so something must have gone wrong, otherwise his memory would not be so vague, so he said after a deep sigh.

"Hmm!" Lin Xin nodded, and listed this matter into her daily affairs, she knew that Li Yuntian would never say that she was familiar with Youlan who she had never met for no reason, there must be some unknown reason in it, she had to find out.

At the same time, Lu Minen's house.

Youlan glanced at the child sleeping soundly on the bed, then came to the window and pushed open the window to look at the stars in the sky, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Madam, the lord said that he had to deal with official documents, and he wouldn't come in the evening." Soon after, a maid from the Western Regions walked into the room and whispered to Youlan.

"Say, what does King Chungmu mean by his behavior today?" Youlan looked at the night sky and asked the maid of the Western Regions lightly, looking very uneasy.

"Could it be that he knows who we are, so he is testing Madame?" At this time, there was no one else in the room, and the maid of the Western Regions came to Youlan's side and asked a little nervously, she was Youlan's personal maid, named Xiaoxing.

"No, the loyal martial king of the Ming Dynasty is scheming, and he will never be tempted in front of the lord." Youlan shook her head, the expression on her face became extremely cold, "We don't know what King Zhongwu is thinking, what we can do now is to act carefully and not show flaws." ”

"Madam, don't worry, the deputy envoy has already arranged everything, and our identities are now seamless." Xiao Xing saw Youlan's preoccupied look, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"I hope so." Youlan sighed, turned to look at her son who was sleeping on the bed, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, her current identity was not only Beiyuan's spy in Qinglong City, but also the mother of a child.

Youlan is one of the most mysterious Northern Yuan spies arranged by Gu Chen in Qinglong City, and the contact method that Gu Chen left for Chaman before leaving is to contact Youlan, and it is not allowed to be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

All this time, Youlan has been quietly lurking beside Lu Minen, and her role is not to collect intelligence, but to stay by Lu Minen's side to gain Lu Minen's trust, and then play a key role at critical moments.

Youlan knew very well in her heart that since he began to contact Lu Minen, the people from the Supervision Department of the Xiaowu Army had begun to secretly review her identity and details, and it was not until the Supervision Department confirmed that there was no problem with Youlan's background Lu Minen accepted her as a concubine.

Moreover, as a woman from the Western Regions beside Lu Minen, Youlan seems to be unrestrained in Qinglong City, but in fact she is still under the surveillance of the Supervision Department of the Xiaowu Army, after all, the situation of Daming in Kansai is very delicate now, and the responsibility of the Supervision Department has to be guarded against.

It's just that because Youlan has been in the dormant period and has not been activated, she is not worried about the surveillance of the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department at all, and her life has been undisturbed in the past two years.

Youlan couldn't have imagined that the first meeting with Li Yuntian made her pay attention to Li Yuntian, if she wasn't a spy of Beiyuan, this would definitely be a supreme honor, but the key was that she was a spy of Beiyuan, and this kind of attention would be very dangerous.

Obviously, since Li Yuntian felt that he had seen Youlan, then the people from the Supervision Department of the Xiaowu Army would definitely provide Youlan's life history information to Li Yuntian, and he was sure that Li Yuntian would let people re-investigate, which was definitely not a good sign.

Youlan was very curious in her heart, she didn't know why Li Yuntian would say that she was familiar, which made her feel uneasy.
