(The second more is delivered!) ）

For a moment, Li Jing suspected that Monk Xuancheng was the senior brother he said he was talking about, and suspected that he was the secret spy of the Six Doors. Li Jing remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once established a secret spy organization to inspect the school, which played a large role in the monks, Taoists, and nuns. Since the Six Doors is a secret spy organization affiliated to the Criminal Department, it is not uncommon for the Shaolin Temple, which has always had a very close relationship with the imperial court, to have disciples join it.

But Hyun Sung suddenly came over to talk to him about this today, and his tone was sincere and his attitude was good, which made him satisfied. If Xuan Cheng was really the secret spy of the Six Doors, then he shouldn't have taken the initiative to tell these things. He came to talk to himself about this, probably out of love for Salmon Town and him, so he said it so unsuspiciously. "Will you tell your senior brother about the Sword Dance Pavilion again?" Li Jing asked tentatively.

Sure enough, Xuan Cheng shook his head, "I have now joined Shamen Town, and when it comes to Shamen Town, of course I won't tell others at will." ”

Li Jing nodded slightly, and Monk Xuancheng could still be trusted. Although Xuan Cheng is a Shaolin warrior monk, he has a senior brother who has the identity of a secret spy with six doors. But when the pirates attacked, he resolutely lifted the golden rod and fought behind him until the last moment, at least he could not forget. Li Jing needs manpower everywhere now, but there are not many people around him, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Zhong are his sworn brothers, so they can naturally be relied on. But such a large Shamen Town, if there will be more development in the future, it can't just rely on these people. While appropriate vigilance should be exercised with respect to others, sufficient trust should also be given.

Where there is trust, there is loyalty. This is what Li Jing has always thought.

Time is running out. Li Jing knew that there would be a battle between himself and Wang Jin and Feng Zhang sooner or later. Right now. For reasons of strength, he can only compromise and forbear for the time being, but he will not allow this time for too long. Wang Jin made a hurtful move against him, and he will definitely take revenge in the shortest possible time. At present, everything seems to be peaceful on the surface of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court and the locality, and the various ministries under the local feudal towns seem to be in balance. But this balance will soon be broken, and even the last veil of warmth will be torn apart. At that time, everyone will not be able to take care of themselves, and it will be the time when the law of the jungle will be the real law of the jungle and fight for themselves. At that time, Li Jing could only rely on himself.

Aunt Gongsun may really be a person from Meihuamen, and Meihuamen may really be an organization that secretly rebels against the imperial court as Xuancheng said. But how much does all this have to do with Li Jing? The so-called loyalty and betrayal, there is a saying that is very good, loyalty is just a bargaining chip for betrayal.

In the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty that are about to open, it is too late for everyone to protect themselves, where can they still take care of the so-called Li Tang royal family, the Tang Dynasty? Although Li Jing has a special affection for the Tang Dynasty, a powerful dynasty in Chinese history. But this will not be a possibility for him to be foolish and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Datang is very important, but it is themselves and their families and friends that are the most important.

Li Jing doesn't care about the true identity of Gongsun. What he cares about is what changes he can bring to the relationship between Gongsun after knowing the new identity of Gongsun Dao, and he is concerned about whether cooperating with Gongsun Auntie can bring greater help.

After Li Jing found Zhang Chengzong, in Shamen Town, in addition to the Lin Wei brothers and Wang Chong, among the generals, only Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian, the head of the family, won Li Jing's trust the most. However, among the two, Zhang Chengzong is more careful, Liu Shouqian is more bold, and both of them are equally brave in battle, but many times Li Jing is still more inclined to hand things over to Zhang Chengzong.

"I need you to do something." When Zhang Chengzong came in, Li Jing said to him, "There is still a little time before the luncheon. You go and take Aunt Gongsun to the No. 1 granary in the north of the city, remember, this matter can't be known to others, it's better to keep it secret. ”

"Lord, if Gongsun refuses to go, is it directly forced to come?" Zhang Chengzong didn't ask anything.

"You just say I'm waiting for her there, and she's sure to come. If she doesn't believe her, just tell her the word plum blossom and she'll go. ”

Zhang Chengzong turned to leave, and Li Jing called Liu Shouqian again and asked him to lead a team of people to guard outside the study. "No one is allowed to enter the study without my permission for half an hour." He said, "The guards were doubled, and he took a few reliable brothers with me to the No. 1 warehouse in the north of the city. ”

Liu Shouqian blinked, "General, the luncheon is about to start, and you definitely can't be absent then." If there's anything you can do with me. ”

"I have to come forward in this matter personally, don't worry, half an hour is enough."

There was silence in the No. 1 warehouse in the north of the city, and the guards here had all been replaced by trusted brothers brought by Liu Shouqian. The family was guarding outside, and Li Jing was sitting on a bag of rice and straw bags, writing letters on the rolling paper in his hand. Soon, the letter was written, and Li Jing sealed the letter and handed it to Liu Shouqian.

"Now you go to Dengzhou in person, and give this letter to a one-armed janitor at the Donghai pawnshop."

Liu Shouqian glanced at the envelope, which saw nothing written on it, just a blank envelope. However, the seal was sealed with fire paint, and a peculiar symbol pattern was printed. He said with some solemnity: "General, what should I say?" ”

"Don't say anything, just give the letter to the other party, and you'll be right back."

Li Jing closed his eyes and waited in the warehouse for about a quarter of an hour, and Aunt Gongsun was late. She came in alone as promised, and for the sake of secrecy, she put on a red military uniform of a soldier in Shamen Town, and wore a fiery red hat on her head.

After entering the warehouse, she took off her hat as if no one was around, and naturally took off the red back and cloak she wore outside.

"Why do you want to meet here?" After Aunt Gongsun took off her camouflaged military uniform, a high-waisted skirt jumped out, and the high skirt was tied directly to her chest.

"Because of the secret." Li Jing said indifferently, "I believe that there are some things that you should and don't want everyone to know." ”

She sat down on the rice bag beside him, and her every move was unusually graceful. Her straight black hair danced lightly with a gentle sway, and her eyes were like dazzling ink jade. Li Jing hadn't seen her beauty for a long time, and now she was aroused again. "I know that you are from the Plum Blossom Gate." He told her.

"Really?" She tilted her head to his face, her expression unchanged. "General Li, did you call me here just to tell me this? Are you kidding me? Or are you going to blame me for the last intelligence mishap? ”

"If you really aren't, then you should be surprised when you hear the plum blossom gate, not so indifferent. Besides, if it weren't for the fact that my family general told you the word plum blossom, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come. ”

Li Jing reached out and touched her cheek, then reached out and grabbed her right hand, and suddenly pulled her sleeve up. Pointing to the pink five-petal plum blossom on his arm, he said, "It is rumored that every person in the Plum Blossom Gate will have a plum blossom tattoo on his arm." It is said that different petal colors also represent different status levels. What level of pink petals are inside the door? Helmsman or hall master? ”

"Plum blossoms have five colors, white, pink, red, purple, and yellow, yellow is the symbol of the big pavilion collar, purple is the elder, red is the protector, pink is the hall master, and white is the helmsman. In addition, the normal inner members are cyan, and the outer members are black. She looked at Li Jing indifferently, "Although these are not very secret things, but you are just an ordinary farmer in Dengzhou, even if you are valued by nobles, it has only been a few months." How did you know this, I'm curious? ”

"So you admit who you are?" Li Jing looked at her, "It turns out that you are the helmsman of the Plum Blossom Gate, and it seems that your status is not low." ”

"Why did you join the Plum Blossom Gate?" Li Jing asked, "Is it a family inheritance, or did you join later?" ”

Aunt Gongsun faced it calmly, did not evade, her hand was still in Li Jing's hand, she did not have the slightest sense of blame, let the snow-white arm be exposed to the air, and the little pink five-petal plum blossom on the arm looked extraordinarily beautiful. "My ancestors used to be the people of the plum blossom guard, but later because after the new emperor ascended the throne, the plum blossom guard was purged, my ancestor was killed, and the children and their families were slaves. When I was born myself, I was a slave of the Joy Workshop. He learned singing and dancing since he was a child, and later performed on stage, but was favored by the head of the Sword Dance Pavilion and spent money to redeem it. ”

"Then why did you join the Plum Blossom Gate again?"

"Everything is fate, and God has already destined it." Aunt Gongsun smiled indifferently, "I joined the Sword Dance Pavilion to practice sword dance diligently, and after a few years, my reputation gradually became apparent, and the dance troupe performed between the two capitals, which was praised by everyone. Later, when the dog emperor Li Yi heard about it, the most absurd and unscrupulous faint gentleman summoned us to the palace to perform, and then, he raped me. Gongsun brushed the sideburns in his ears and said a little miserably, "After that night, I was pregnant with the faint king's cheap seed, but it turned out to cause even greater trouble, a night of thunder and lightning, I was forcibly taken out of the palace by several mysterious people. He was knocked unconscious on the way, but when he woke up, he found himself on a boat in Weishui. ”

"What happened?"

"I don't know what to do." Gongsun's eyes were full of memories of the past, and there was a hint of resentment. "Maybe it's because the faint king doesn't want me, a lowly dancer, to conceive his dragon species, or maybe it's the secret death hand of some jealous concubine. Fortunately, I was thrown into the river and rescued. Maybe it's already destined by God, the person who saved me is actually the current cabinet leader of the Plum Blossom Gate, since then, I have completely joined the Plum Blossom Gate, and swore to be the enemy of the Li family for the rest of my life!
