North Wind City, Yuelai Inn.
This name had appeared in countless wuxia novels, and there were many of them in Da Qian.
Almost every city had a Yuelai Inn.
But don't misunderstand.
There was no secret force behind it. It was just that this name was easy to use and sounded smooth. Many people used it.
Just like the signboards for the return of guests or Ten Miles Drunk, these were very common names.
The inn that was called Yuelai Inn was basically a business for ordinary people.
Of course, in a small border city like North Wind City, the Yuelai Inn was considered one of the best inns and restaurants.
The rest were the courier stations and warehouses under the jurisdiction of North Wind City. Their conditions were even worse than Yuelai Inn.
However, it was cheap and safe.
Of course, in the past half a year, under Li Xin's management, North Wind City often attacked and killed foreign tribes. Every time they came back, they would bring back many Hu cavalry heads.
The reputation of this slaughter was still very intimidating among some merchants and martial artists who came to North Wind City.
Moreover, there were tens of thousands of elite troops stationed here.
Even a neutralizing grandmaster would have to think twice if he was a lone ranger.
Hence, the security of North Wind City was very good. People who came and went often did not dare to cause trouble here.
……
In a tea shop outside Yuelai Inn, Ling Fang, who was wearing makeup, met up with the waiter at the back.
"My lord."
"How is it?" Ling Fang nodded and asked.
"The first target is living inside. Other than the few people leading the group, the others went to the warehouse. There were brothers watching over there. The second group of people spread out in the surroundings. Clearly, they were staring at the leader of the Su Clan Trading Company.”
"Does anyone recognize the people from the Su Clan Trading Company?”The magistrate asked again.
"My brothers have also inquired about it. We even asked other merchants from Jiangnan. The Su Clan Trading Company had them, but they didn't know if these people were from the Su Clan Trading Company.”
"In other words, no one knows him?" Ling Fang's eyes narrowed. As a spy, he could tell that something was wrong.
" According to that person, the Su Clan Trading Company is a big trading company in Jiangnan. There are many caravans, so I can't recognize all of them…"
"Keke."
Before the spy finished speaking, a signal came from ahead.
The shop assistant paused, and under Ling Fang's signal, he went to the front.
After a while, the shop assistant returned.
"Milord, the second group of targets has left. There are two of them in total, one in front and one behind.”
“…….”Ling Fang's eyes narrowed." Get someone to keep a close eye on them. However, Lord Jue has ordered that the existence of the Iron Guards must not be exposed. If they are discovered, you know what to do."”
"There, don't worry, sir. We understand.”The waiter replied seriously.
"Okay, I'll leave for a while."
"See you off, Milord."
……
General Manor, Main Hall.
Liu Hu walked in quickly and reported after bowing,""Reporting to Lord Jue, when the personal guards were patrolling, they caught a spy who had climbed in from the back wall. This person did not resist and instead took out a token and asked to present it to Lord Jue.”
"Token?" Li Xin raised his head and stretched out his hand.
Liu Hu stepped forward and handed the token over.
He took it over and saw that it was an iron plate with a qilin head and cloud patterns. It was obviously an official plate. As for the Qilin, with this complicated cloud pattern and the words "Demon Subduing Division" on the front, Li Xin's eyes narrowed.
"Demon Subduing Division, hehe, interesting. They actually came to my North Wind City.”As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin's eyes flickered. He remembered Ling Fang's previous report.
"Where is he?"
"Outside."
"Bring her in."
"Here!"
After a while, two personal guards escorted a person in. On the left and right sides of the commander's table, Liu Hu led six personal guards to separate the spy from Li Xin.
"Kneel down!"
After entering, the two escorting bodyguards used force and kicked the corner of their legs with their war boots. With a plop, the spy knelt on the ground, and the guy kneeling on the ground seemed to want to resist.
Clang! Clang! Two steel sabers were placed on his neck, and then this fellow became obedient. However, when he looked up at Li Xin, his eyes were filled with shame and anger.
This was probably the first time he had been treated like this.
Ignoring this person's gaze, Li Xin played with the token in his hand and slowly said,"As a spy, do you think you can avoid being punished for spying on the military just because you have a fake Demon Suppressing Commander token?”
"Caw." The guy kneeling on the ground instantly widened his eyes and panicked.
If he really counted, it was not a problem for him to be punished for spying on military aircraft for climbing over the wall and entering a military aircraft important place like the general's manor.
At that time, even if his superior came forward to explain, he would probably have been killed.
At the thought of this, this fellow did not dare to act rashly. The embarrassment and anger in his eyes were all restrained. He hurriedly said,"Lord Li, I am indeed a lieutenant of the Demon Subduing Division. I climbed over the wall and entered the General's Estate with no intention of spying on the military situation. I am here on orders from my superior to ask for your help.”
"In addition, there is also a contribution.”
"Moreover, after this lowly one was discovered, I did not resist. Lord Jue's personal guards can testify to this.”
"Lord Jue, please judge me."
With that, the commandant kowtowed and fell to the ground without moving.
“…….”Li Xin didn't speak. Under the Eye of Truth, this person's loyalty was a little, but it wasn't high, not even 40.
That was right. This person was from the Demon Subduing Division and had nothing to do with him. The reason why he could have such basic loyalty points was already because he was on the side of Da Qian.
If it was an enemy spy, someone with ulterior motives, or even an enemy, the loyalty value should be negative. After all, their hearts were not on the same line.
After a few breaths, Li Xin waved his hand, indicating for the guards to leave. He then said,"Get up and reply."
"Thank you, Lord Jue." Knowing that he had escaped death, the Monster Subduing Officer quickly stood up and bowed his head respectfully.
"Liu Hu."
"I'm here!" He turned around and faced Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin waving at him, Liu Hu walked over.
After giving a few instructions, Liu Hu took the token and left.
"Since you just said that your superior sent you here, then tell me the details.”
"Here." The lieutenant nodded, but then he looked at the bodyguards in the hall and hesitated.
"Just tell me directly. They are all my personal guards and people whom I trust.”
"Here." Seeing Li Xin say so, the lieutenant was helpless and could only say,""This humble one belongs to the Tai Prefecture Demon Suppression Division. This time, we have come with a team of White Lotus Demons.”
"According to our intelligence, they have secretly purchased a large amount of iron ore and are preparing to trade with the grassland tribes. At the same time, there were more than ten blacksmiths.”
"In that case, why didn't you capture and kill them? Instead, you followed them all the way to the Northern Territory?”Li Xin asked.
"Lord Jue, the demons of the White Lotus Society were split into two groups and did not set off together. One of their teams went to prepare for the trade, while the other team went to gather information about North Wind City.”
"And we only followed one team on the surface. The team in the dark, which is the real transaction, we only found some traces and haven't caught up yet.”
"At this moment, the other party has already entered the border in the north.”
"Hehe, are you going to tell me that you need me to send troops into the plains to hunt down these White Lotus demons?”
