Chapter 62 Cooperation
There was a vague sound of breathing coming from the next door. It was a martial arts expert with a high level of cultivation. Looking at Zhang Qingyun in front of him who was still smiling sweetly and looking innocent, Wu De smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Qingyun, I wonder who is next door? You really don't need to be so careful. This is Tai'an City. I have great courage and I don't dare to be arrogant here, right?"
A slightly feminine laughter sounded next door, and a fat man walked out with the laughter, cupped his hands towards Wu De and said: "Wu Tixing misunderstood Miss Qingyun, she did not arrange for me to be here. , I came here on my own. The main reason is that Miss Qingyun is of high status and she must not make any mistakes. Even if she is frightened, the young master will have to skin me when he comes back."
"You are. ?" Looking at the fat man with a pale face and no beard in front of him, Wu De felt that he looked very familiar.
"I am Li Kaixin, the steward of the Tai'an City Lord's Mansion." Li Kaixin took a puppet and sat down.
"Steward of the City Lord's Mansion?" Wu De was slightly surprised.
Li Kaixin nodded: "Actually, there is no need to hide the punishment from Wu now. The horse bandit Li Dachui is also the young city lord of our Tai'an City."
Wu De bowed his head. , but there are thousands of waves in my heart.
That’s it.
Li Dachui really has a big family fortune in Tai'an City.
"So, how should I call him?" Wu De looked up and asked.
"The name is just a code name. It doesn't matter whether you call him Zhang San or Li Si!" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile. "Everyone has their own secrets. You don't have to explore them one by one, just like you, right?"
Wu De exhaled a breath, glanced at Li Kaixin beside him, and looked again Reply to Zhang Qingyun: "I don't know something and I want to ask for advice!"
"Wu Tixing, feel free to ask."
"How did you know that I have another identity?" Wu De was unwilling to accept it, "My identity is not made up on a whim, but is real. Over the past few decades, I have really been doing the same thing as a punishment."
"Let me explain this matter!" Li Kaixin said: "Wu Tixing may not know something. The martial arts practiced by my young master has a special feature, that is, he can roughly estimate the opponent's cultivation level. As long as this person It’s okay if the level is not as high as his.”
Wu De was stunned.
"Ti Xing probably used some secret method to suppress his cultivation to a very low level." Li Kaixin said: "But it's like a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. , no matter how much you want to pretend to be a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, Man, you will still reveal some small flaws inadvertently. In that ruined temple, in that battle with the horse bandit, although you showed only a sixth-grade air control level, your skills were still good. Your vision and judgment are obviously higher than your demonstrated strength. Of course, you can also say that this is experience, but combined with the special features of our young master’s martial arts practice, this flaw seems a bit big.”
Zhang Qingyun said quietly: “Wu Tixing, at that time. If you do your best, your subordinates will be Aren’t you going to die? In order to hide your identity, you actually watched those brothers die in battle?”
Wu De was silent for a moment, picked up the cup of tea in front of him, and drank it in one gulp. I wonder if the tea tastes bitter or sweet in the mouth at this time?
"If Li Dachui hadn't appeared, they wouldn't have died!" Wu De said: "Of course I can kill all these horse bandits who can kill thousands of people, but Li Dachui has appeared, and I don't dare to expose my flaws."< br>
Zhang Qingyun sighed softly: "He is doubting you, and you are wary of him. Both of them have their own agendas, but they let several of your men die in vain in that ruined temple and there are still other people. On the way down. Wu Tixing, what would those brothers who are still drinking in the inn think if they know the truth?"
"I'm afraid. Leave me!" Wu De said: "But it's okay, now that my identity has been exposed, they will live longer if they leave me. People like me are not worthy of friends."
said. After saying this, a slight crackling sound came from Wu De's body. Li Kaixin narrowed his eyes, but Zhang Qingyun stared curiously at Wu De in front of him. This man seemed to have grown a little taller at this moment.
"The eighth level of Xuanyuan!" Li Kaixin said. "So, Wu Tixing, can you tell us your true identity now? We actually didn't go to that grocery store in the west of the city, because even if we did, we probably wouldn't be able to find out why. A man who has been lurking for many years When Hei Bingtai dies, it is impossible to know the core of Hei Bingtai. It will not have any other effect except confirming your identity as Hei Bingtai.”
"My real name is Wu De. In addition to the identity of Ti Xing, I also have another identity, which is responsible for building Hei Bingtai's latent network in the world. Naturally, I use the identity of Ti Xing because this identity can act openly and honestly. When you travel around the world, you can catch those who commit heinous crimes by chance," Wu Dedao said.
"The original Black Ice Platform outside the pass is no longer useful and has basically become a tool for Linghuye. So you are here to reactivate the backup team that was lurking before, right?" Zhang Qing Yun asked. Wu De said in surprise: "Miss Qingyun, who has a distinguished status and is a daughter of a noble family, actually knows this?"
"I didn't know it at first, but I came here and read some documents , I also know some of the activities here!" Zhang Qingyun said: "I think the Black Ice Platform outside the customs has started to operate normally again, right? Our Tai'an City should be an important node!"
Wu De nodded and said: "Yes, Tai'an City itself is a place where intelligence from outside the customs gathers. Black Ice Platform will naturally use this place as its base camp for key operations."
"Wu Tixing, I'd like to ask out of curiosity, what is your status in the Black Ice Platform?"
Wu De was silent for a while and said: "This year, I was just promoted to fourth. The original fourth was because I was facing south. Chu failed in the intelligence war and was dismissed from his job and imprisoned."
"Unexpectedly, I caught a big fish!" Li Kaixin looked very happy: "Wu Tixing, let me answer your questions. Well, because our young master has become suspicious of you in the ruined temple, he will naturally pay special attention to you. From the moment you arrive in Zhenwu City, comprehensive monitoring of you will begin."
< br>"I didn't notice it at all!" Wu De was shocked. For a veteran spy, this was a completely unacceptable shame.
"They are only observing you, they will not have any hostility towards you, and will not take any actions!" Li Kaixin said: "We know that Qiuyuan, although not as good as Black Ice Platform, has been operating for hundreds of years. It is an old brand, but it also has some special skills of its own. Because we know your uniqueness, we only observe you, but we conduct the most detailed investigation on everyone you come into contact with. Your identity will be revealed to these people.”
Wu De nodded: "I understand, you know autumn when you see a leaf. What do you want to do when you reveal my identity?"
"I said it before, of course it's cooperation. !" Zhang Qingyun smiled.
“I don’t know how to cooperate?” Wu Dedao: “Heibingtai is now in a weak position outside the Pass. Those loyal to the court have basically been eradicated by Linghuye. The dead stakes I just activated are only It will take time to maintain the most basic thing. If we really want to cooperate, wouldn't we take advantage? "
"We are not cooperating with Heibingtai, we are cooperating with you!" Zhang Qingyun said. "The Black Ice Platform has been operating for hundreds of years. It is now a big and superficial thing, but we value you and the dead bodies under you."
"What do you mean?"
"I would like to invite you to join our Zhiqiu Courtyard!" Zhang Qingyun said. "In the past, our focus was on places outside the pass, Beiyuan, etc., but next, we will deploy inside the pass. If you join us, it will not only get twice the result with half the effort, it will make us soar into the sky."
"Li Dachui also wants to rebel?" Wu De asked in surprise.
“It’s too far, it’s too far!” Li Kaixin shook his head repeatedly: “Now we just want to establish a foothold outside the customs first. Without hiding Wu Ti’s punishment, we want to replace him with Linghuye. , and then, when it comes to dealing with Bei Yuan, if we finish all this and Da Qin is still in the state of being unable to hold up the wall, then it is inevitable that we will have to lift Ma Guannai."
Wu De pondered. After a long while, "In other words, at this stage, our goals are actually the same."
"Of course! Now the court actually has no way to deal with Linghuye. If we cooperate with him, we can suppress him." If this person can be replaced, the imperial court will be relieved, right?" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe after we succeed, we will be willing to guard the border forever for the Qin Dynasty. ?”
"If I don't agree, will I not be able to leave this room today?"
"No, no, no!" Zhang Qingyun smiled and shook her head: "If Wu Tixing doesn't agree, then Let's break up, you go on your sunny road, I'll cross my single-plank bridge. It's said that business cannot be done without mercy. Let's keep a line today so we can see each other tomorrow."
Wu De said in disbelief. Looking at each other, is that so? This seems to be very different from the behavior of the people doing this work!
Looking at Wu De's appearance, Zhang Qingyun explained: "Don't be surprised by Wu Tixing, there is nothing strange about it. In fact, you know nothing about us, so what can we do if we let you go? So what? We are in the pass, and there is nothing there now. After you go back, you will not cause us any losses. On the contrary, your hidden stakes are all under our noses. To be honest, it is you who should ask for help. We, not we are here to beg you. To put it bluntly, as long as we think about it, these dead spaces that you have worked so hard to restart will really become dead, which is very harmful to you. What’s the benefit?”
