Chapter 1356: Director Ding's Task (Part I)

Chayan put out the five poses of "A Thousand Tempered Techniques" in order and held them for fifteen minutes each.

Judging from his state at the end, it's not that he can't hold on longer, it should just be that he doesn't want to occupy Ding Kui for too long.

"Okay, is there a problem with my posture?" he said.

"No, it's very standard! You reached the entry-level standard the first time, can you last a little longer?" Ding Kui asked knowingly.

"Yes, half an hour, dozens of minutes, it takes a little time to get used to the Dzogchen realm. ”

Cha Yang's answer made Ding Kui very uncomfortable, and "a little time" can adapt to the Great Perfection realm! Ding Kui didn't dare to think about it.

"Uh, does it help you?" Ding Kui felt that "A Thousand Tempers and Hundred Tempers" was of little use to Cha Yang, and he made a lot of money.

"It's so helpful! My body can't fully adapt to this cheat, which means that my physical body can still be improved! I couldn't improve it at all before, this is the top body refining secret technique!

However, I feel that there is a problem with the cheats, but I can't say what the problem is, and I need to spend some time researching it. "Chayan was the first to find 'A Thousand Tempers' problematic.

"Yes, this is my family's ancestral secret book, there are no missing pages, and there are no upper and lower books. Ding Kui was a little unhappy, thinking that Cha Yang doubted himself.

"Hehe, I believe your words, your body and strength are practiced by these five postures. "Cha Yang does have a vicious eye, and he can see Ding Kui's strength.

Ding Kui felt more comfortable when he heard this, took out the "Recipe for Tempering a Thousand Tempers" from his arms, and said, "Why don't you take a look again, if there is really a problem, it's better to find out as soon as possible." He trusted Chayan's vision.

"Don't look at it, I've written it down, it's not necessarily a problem with the cheats, it may be that I feel wrong, and you haven't had any adverse effects after practicing for so long, don't worry.

During this time, I will retreat in the place where I live, and if I need to eat and drink, I will come out to look for it, and if you have something to look for, I will send someone to shout. Chayan decided to retreat immediately.

He hasn't improved his strength for several years, and it's very uncomfortable for him who is eager to improve his combat power, otherwise he wouldn't have fought the idea of "Tempering the Trick" and sold himself to Ding Kui for ten years.

Ding Kui doesn't care, he doesn't need this peak martial artist for the time being, and there is a legendary knight squatting at home, so he can let Cha Yang go to retreat.

"Report! There is Cao Guo's military intelligence. Fabian stood at the door of the study.

"Come in and say. Ding Kui was reviewing the list of gifts given to Shao Dianrong.

Fei Bian walked in, closed the door, came to the desk and whispered: "The Cao State Branch reported in secret that the Cao 11th Division wanted to attack Xingye City in Duanshui County the day before yesterday. ”

Ding Kui raised his hand, motioned for Fabian to stop, reached out and pulled out the map of Cao Guo on the bookshelf, spread it out on the table, and nodded.

"They were defeated by a special force of the Qi State, and it is rumored that the Qi army used a new type of equipment with amazing defensive power, which could resist magic and fighting attacks, and could also be used for war horse armor. ”

Ding Kui pointed his finger at Xingye City on the map, and said: "The defense on the south shore of the Diyan Lake, the light weight of the defensive equipment, the purpose of the Qi State is obvious, we must defend the Diyan Lake." This new equipment must have something to do with the Earth's Eye Lake. ”

"The humble position also thinks so, and has clearly ordered the Cao State Branch and the Qi State Branch to do their best to find out the news. ”

"There are people in the Qi State who smuggle a large amount of weapons and equipment, probably to empty the inventory of equipment, so the Qi army will adopt new equipment on a large scale. Ding Kui immediately thought of the information provided by Jiang Li, "This information is very important, and it requires experienced people to go to Qi State."

Where's Ding Zhong? Haven't you come back yet? I want you to go to Qi Kingdom. ”

"I can't contact Director Ding recently. Fabian looked a little weird.

"What's wrong?" Ding Kui looked up at Fabian.

"Well, Director Ding and Zhang Xiulan went to the north together, and they didn't often contact the General Bureau, and they didn't feel at ease with Zhang Xiulan. Fabian hesitated to explain why.

"Zhang Xiulan, the widow?"

"Yes. ”

Ding Kui frowned.

That near-assassination caused him to be sensitive to widows, especially those with whom he was entangled with his men.

"Isn't she going to settle in Juyang City? How did she participate in the operation to the north?" he had some information about Zhang Xiulan.

"Zhang Xiulan is experienced, and she is also a rare spy in the Espionage Department, and the Ding Bureau wanted to take a fresh face to the north, so she was chosen. Fabian objectively evaluated Zhang Xiulan's business ability.

"Well, urge Ding Zhong to complete the task quickly, find a reliable person to go to Qi Kingdom, and verify Zhang Xiulan's information with Shaodian. ”

"Yes!"

"Wait," Ding Kui called Fei Bian, "and Miss Lu's friends, warn them, I won't let go of the people who brought my junior sister to me." ”

"Yes!"

......

Ding Zhong did bring Zhang Xiulan out on a mission, but today he was a cripple by his side.

"Uncle He, the front is Bijin City, are we going to enter the city?" he was very polite to the lame.

There is only one lame man surnamed He in the Ding family, the gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion in the capital of Zhenjing, He Cripple.

Bijin City is located in the northeast of Shuanggang County, Shanwon Prefecture, and is a large city on the official road leading to Zhenwang Prefecture, where many travelers and caravans can be seen along the way, and Ding Zhong and He Cripple are not conspicuous on the road.

"You don't have to go into the city, the liaison at this station lives outside the city. "He is lame and easy to look into a pockmark, others will look away at a glance, and it will be uncomfortable to look at it for a long time.

They were looking for a liaison to deliver information from LΓΌ back to the capital.

This is a special communication channel of Lu Guotang, and there are many contact points on the channel, each corresponding to a liaison officer. They are a one-line contact, and each liaison only knows who the upper and lower families are, and when there is a task, they are only responsible for delivering messages, and do nothing else.

If He Cripple in Zhenjing City is the end point of receiving news, then the contact point of Bijincheng is the penultimate station, and the liaison person in charge of this point is an old man who is nearly seventy years old.

This old man lives in the western suburbs of Bijin City, on the shore of Bijin Lake, where dozens of scattered families live.

"Jin San!"

The old man heard someone calling him outside the door, so he opened the door and came out to check, and found a young man with a blank expression and an old pockmark, neither of whom he knew.

"Who are you?" he stepped back and stepped back into the door, holding the door with one hand, ready to close it at any moment.

"Headquarters order, contact line self-destruct, what is your last wish?" the young man's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.

"Who the hell are you?" the hand at the door tightened, but did not move.

Lao Mazi said slowly: "You don't need to know who we are, there is no point, the two points of Zhenwangzhou have self-destructed, now it's your turn, say, what is your last wish? We will try our best to help you complete it." ”

The old man's cloudy eyes rolled and said, "Why should I believe you?"

"Look at it. The young man threw out a wooden card, and the old man reached out to catch it, glanced at it in front of him, and said in surprise: "This is the mark of the old hall master!"

"That's right, the lord doesn't want you to self-destruct, it's the old hall master who insists on self-destruction, and specially ordered me to supervise it, I'm sorry. "Young people can't help but reveal some information.

The old man took a deep breath, then threw the wooden sign back to the young man, and said, "Actually, I am mentally prepared, and the last message is a life talisman, but I am lucky, and I hope that the head of the family will pity us."

Hey, the old hall master has nothing to talk about, I should have known that he would definitely follow the rules. I'm so old, what else can I want, anyway, I don't have any family, I just want to be buried by the lake. ”

"Yes, the place is yours. The young man put away the wooden sign and nodded.

β€œ......”

An hour later, there was one more grave than on the shore of the Golden Lake.

"I'm sorry, Jin San, as long as I live, I will come to your grave every year in the future. Old Mazi looked lonely.

The young man asked, "Uncle He, why don't I pay someone to take care of him?"

"We're here to erase the traces, wouldn't we leave clues for others? Some people we can compensate us for, and some people are destined to be owed to them by the family, you go back and explain the matter of Jin San to the master, and strive to leave his name on the family martyrs' record." "Old Mazi is more experienced than young people.

The young man looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and then said, "Then let's go back and call Shang Xiulan to the next point." ”

Naturally, they were Ding Zhong and He Cripple, who came specifically to carry out Qian Bu's orders and clear the contact line.

Ding Zhong came out of the house with only Zhang Xiulan, and the two sometimes pretended to be husband and wife, sometimes pretended to be sisters and brothers, and rushed to Zhenjing as fast as possible, and informed He Cripple of Qian Bu's order.

He Cripple was responsible for accepting Lu Guotang's secret letter, and he was the only one who knew half of the situation of the contact line, and the person who knew the other half of the contact line had died, and that half of the people were not enough to find out about Zhenjing.

With the wooden sign of Qian Bu and Lu Guotang's rules, He Cripple knew that Ding Zhong did not have a false order, so he insisted on carrying out the removal task with Ding Zhong.

Since this time he was dealing with his own people, Ding Zhong did not refuse He Cripple's request, and one more person to share could alleviate his guilt.

When they set off from Zhenjing City again, they formed a team of three people, Ding Zhong and He Cripple were responsible for contacting the liaison, and Zhang Xiulan was responsible for answering.

Before coming to Jincheng, they had forced the two liaison officers to commit suicide, and they didn't make a move on their own people today, although they felt uncomfortable, they could still accept it.

He lame collected his emotions and said, "Let's go, the next point may not be so easy." ”

"Why?" Ding Zhong was puzzled.

"The next point is Liangjing Castle in Pingyan County, the liaison Jin Si, but the old Jin Si passed the position to his son the year before last, and the new Jin Si may not know the rules so well. He limped towards the official road.

Ding Zhong followed closely and asked, "Lao Jinsi asked his son to take over, what should he do?

"Lao Jin Si is a person who understands the rules, and he left after the position was passed to his son, otherwise he would not be afraid that Xin Jin Si would not understand the rules. ”
