First Secret Agent in History

Invite the two gentlemen in. Jing Zhongyue ordered.

yes!

After a while, two people came in.

Two of them, Yun Zhonghe, had met before, both were Jing Zhongyue's aides, and they were all dressed as scholars.

These two are the staff of my City Lord's Mansion, Mr. Chen Lin and Yu Deng. Jing Zhongyue introduced.

Meet the city lord. The two staff members bowed down.

But these two people completely turned a blind eye to Yun Zhonghe.

Although they already knew that Yun Zhonghe made a great contribution this time, it was because of him that he conquered Ning Qing, and then revised the content of the report, which made Rift Wind Valley escape the sanctions.

But in their eyes, Yun Zhonghe was still that ignorant beggar.

Defrauding money and sex, cheating and abducting, she is a scumbag, a lowly brat who can't get on the stage, no matter how great the credit is, so what?

I am a scholar, and I disdain to be in the same room with him.

Now that everyone is here, Jing Zhongyue will begin to test Yun Zhonghe's strategy. Jing Zhongyue also very much hoped to give Yun Zhonghe a chance to transform from a swindler who swindles money and sex to a military strategist, only in this way can he really have a future and be able to enter the hall of elegance.

Of course, to a certain extent, only Yun Zhonghe, who has entered the Hall of Elegance, is qualified to marry Jing Zhongyue.

But at this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes outside.

My lord, Mr. Zuo An has arrived. Immediately afterwards, a warrior's voice came from outside.

Mr. Zuo An? Jing Zhongyue was shocked.

Then, she immediately got up and went out to meet her, and the two staff members hurriedly followed, and before they even went out, their waists were already bent down.

Obviously, this Mr. Zuo An has a lot of weight and a high status.

A moment later, Jing Zhongyue entered the castle again facing an old man.

The old man who came was wearing a linen robe, with a thin body and yellow hair, only a pair of eyes were dark and bright, shining with unfathomable light.

Jing Zhongyue said: Old Zuo, you are not resting at home, but came here in a hurry, why?

The old man Zuo An said: Today is too important to Riftwind Valley, I have no choice but to come.

Jing Zhongyue introduced to Yun Zhonghe: This Mr. Zuo An followed my father in the early years, and now Mr. Zuo has made great contributions to the foundation of Rift Wind Valley.

Yun Zhonghe understood that this Chen Linhe and Yu Dengding were only aides at most, and this Mr. Zuo An was the real military advisor of Rift Wind Valley.

Although he has no official position, his status is no less than Lie Fengling Wen Daofu's, even higher than him.

Old Zuo, please sit down. Jing Zhongyue said.

The military adviser on the left bank said: My lord please.

Then, Yun Zhonghe, Chen Lin, and Yu Deng stood, and Jing Zhongyue sat with that Mr. Zuo An.

………………

Next, Jing Zhongyue will give a detailed account of what happened today.

Today, Mo Qiu, the young master of Xiyu City, reacted extremely strangely. Ning Qing’s report was so extreme and narrow, completely biased towards Liefeng City.

However, Qiushui City will be subject to comprehensive sanctions. You must know that Qiushui City is a vassal of the Mo family in Xiyu City. Why didn't Mo Qiu stop it, instead, he agreed with this report and tried his best to promote the sanctions against Qiushui City.

This is so unbelievable that it can be said that everyone is puzzled.

He had no idea what Mo Qiu was going to do.

But one thing is certain, this person has a deep strategy and a vicious mind. Today's so-called must have a huge conspiracy.

Jing Zhongyue said: Mo Qiu's actions today must have a conspiracy. Everyone, please analyze for me, how to see through the fog and understand his sinister intentions, and then plan a strategy. Mr. Chen Lin, tell me first.

Staff member Chen Lin got up, bowed and said: My lord, Mr. Zuo, this subordinate thinks that this is Mo Qiu's strategy of retreating. First, he paralyzes us in Rifting Wind Valley, and when we reveal our flaws, he will kill us with another blow.

Jing Zhongyue said: Mr. Yu Deng, please tell me.

The staff member Yu Deng stood up, bowed and saluted: My lord, Mr. Zuo, I think this is Mo Qiu's buffer.

Jing Zhongyue said: Continue talking.

The staff member Yu Deng said: Because the valley castle is too close to us, and our army of more than a thousand is not far away, he is afraid that we will be caught dead. So he first admitted the report and tricked Lord Ning Qing back to Daxi City first. , that's where the Alliance of Princes' Conference is held. After arriving there, they will find ways to force Ning Qing to change her words, or threaten Ning Qing with excuses, or simply destroy her reputation. In short, they want to change the report back, and then Sanction us.

The analysis of the two gentlemen has some truth. Jing Zhongyue said again: Yun Aotian, tell me.

The test of Yun Zhonghe's strategic wisdom is coming.

However, Yun Zhonghe stood motionless at this moment, but closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He was recalling every scene today, especially Mo Qiu's every word and deed.

There are two very strange things.

First, looking at the performance of Yan Ruoshan, the master of Xiyu City, Mo Qiu seems to have Ning Qing's handle in his hands, but he doesn't use it at all.

Second, Mo Qiu not only acknowledged Ning Qing's report, but also offered to impose sanctions on Qiushui City.

Especially the second point is really weird.

Mo Qiu even revealed the content of the sanctions, one is to pay compensation, the other is to force Qiushui City to disarm, and even let the alliance of princes station troops in Qiushui City to supervise the Qiu family.

What is he going to do?

It's so bizarre!

Seeing that Yun Zhonghe didn't respond, Jing Zhongyue said directly: Yun Aotian, are you asleep?

Yun Zhonghe suddenly opened his eyes, and instead of saying a word, he walked towards the inner room and took out a stack of reports.

My lord, please shield the left and right, some top secrets cannot be known to others. Yun Zhonghe said.

After saying this, the faces of the two staff members suddenly changed, this Yun Aotian is too bastard and rude, is this where you are arrogant?

The old military division left is still there.

Jing Zhongyue's beautiful face was also covered with a layer of frost, but he still waved his hand and said, You two gentlemen, please go out, Mr. Zuo stays.

Immediately, the two staff members left angrily. He was extremely disdainful in his heart, the lord was really blind, he actually wanted to ask a lowly beggar like Yun Aotian for advice.

Yun Zhonghe, I hope you understand what you are doing? Jing Zhongyue said: You said you have a talent for strategy, I am willing to give you this opportunity, the left military division is here, he is a real master of strategy, you Show off any talent you have, right?

The left military division also quietly waited for Yun Zhonghe's performance.

Jing Zhongyue said: Yun Zhonghe, why are you in a daze? Tell me, why did Mo Qiu behave so strangely today.

Yun Zhonghe kept flipping through the report released by Liefeng City, looking at ten lines at a glance, very, very fast.

However, when he saw a certain report, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his breathing became short of breath.

Yun Zhonghe, although you have made great achievements, I am a person who is very clear about rewards and punishments. Be careful, I will hang you up and give you fifty lashes. Jing Zhongyue said coldly.

Yun Zhonghe looked at Jing Zhongyue and said: My lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!

My Rifting Valley is about to suffer a catastrophe.

Yun Zhonghe's tone was very frightening, but it sounded very much like his fortune-telling routine.

Generally, a fortune teller is sensational first, which scares you for a moment, and then tricks you into spending money, and then he teaches you how to solve the disaster.

And Yun Zhonghe's performance at this time is exactly the same as that of the fortune teller, so exaggerated, so startled.

Without further ado, Jing Zhongyue found a whip from the corner of the room. She clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and if she says she wants to whip the whip, she must whip it.

My lord, we've been tricked. Yun Zhonghe looked at Jing Zhongyue and said, This Mo Qiu is extremely powerful, his tricks are really one after another, it's hard to guard against.

Jing Zhongyue was startled and said, Yun Zhonghe, are you serious?

Yun Zhonghe said: Master, think about it, he seems to have every reason to threaten Ning Qing, but he doesn't use it at all.

Qiu Shui City is obviously a vassal of the Mo family. Today, Mo Qiu not only does not help, but when he got into trouble, he wants to severely punish Qiu Shui City. Why?

This is not only to show the fairness and selflessness of the alliance of princes, but more importantly, it is to pave the way for sanctions. Qiushui City needs to be punished for making mistakes, so what if Riftwind Valley made a big mistake? It is even more necessary to be punished.

During this period of time, we all focused on Ning Qing and this investigation report, thus ignoring other places. Therefore, Mo Qiu completely slapped the other side and gave us a fatal blow in other places.

Where will he attack us? Where is our lifeblood? In Baiyin collar and Lantian collar.

Baiyinling's salt production accounts for about 70%, so something must have happened to the Baiyin salt well.

If my predictions are correct, something happened to our core Baiyinling, the Baiyin Salt Well.

Our salt may have killed people, and many people have died, so it will cause us great trouble.

No, it's not just that. Mo Qiu's methods will be more ruthless, what else will happen?

Yun Zhonghe began to ask and answer by himself.

Yes, maybe the salt well will collapse again. This is the way to kill more people, and then put the blame on us.

Master, let's go back to Cracking Wind City immediately. Yun Zhonghe said: Go back now, don't delay for a second.

Jing Zhongyue and Zuo An's army division stared at Yun Zhonghe for a long time, thinking his words were completely unthinkable and unreasonable, so you just rely on a few reports from Cracking Wind City?

We also read those reports? Did not find any clues ah.

Why do you, Yun Zhonghe, conclude that something will happen to the Silver Mine? And it is also calculated that poisonous salt eats the dead, and the salt well collapses?

Do you think you Yun Zhonghe is a god? It's just ridiculous.

Yun Zhonghe said: Let's go, my lord will go now and return to Cracking Wind City, I hope everything is still in time.

Jing Zhongyue looked at Yun Zhonghe for a long time, then nodded and said, Okay, let's go back now.

Although she didn't believe Yun Zhonghe's words at all, she was still willing to give him a chance.

Yun Zhonghe kept turning around and said: I hope everything is still in time, I hope everything is still in time.

Then Jing Zhongyue really got on her horse and left the castle immediately with only 200 cavalrymen, wanting to rush back to Cracking Wind City as quickly as possible.

The two staff members, Chen Lin and Yu Deng, and the left bank military division were left behind, and they will go back with the main force tomorrow.

…………

Inside the huge carriage, Yun Zhonghe and Jing Zhongyue sat opposite each other.

Master, do you trust me so much? Yun Zhonghe said, I told you to go back, so you go back?

Jing Zhongyue said: I don't believe you, but I'm still willing to give you a chance to prove yourself, but if you're wrong, then obediently cheat money and sex in the future, don't mention any strategies, wisdom, or marrying me.

A group of two hundred cavalrymen galloped desperately for dozens of miles.

In the carriage, Yun Zhonghe continued the various reports sent by the City of Split Wind recently, especially the reports from the Black Blood Hall and the Department of Jinyi.

He reads very fast, ten lines at a glance, and he has read almost a hundred copies.

When seeing a certain report, Yun Zhonghe's face turned completely pale.

There are many things written in this report.

One of them was nine days ago, two child laborers were found in Baiyin Salt Well.

The second thing is that twelve days ago, several dog corpses suddenly appeared in the Silver Mine. The cause of death was strange. This was the second time.

Nine days and twelve days passed, and everything was irreversible.

After a long while, Yun Zhonghe said: My lord, there is no need to hurry back, you can stop now and return to the Wild Boar's Castle.

Jing Zhongyue's beautiful face changed.

Yun Zhonghe, don't go too far, are you really tired of working?

She felt that she was already a very good lord, and she was willing to give her subjects a chance.

You Yun Zhonghe was so shocking, you were startled and said that you wanted me to rush back to Rifting Wind City as quickly as possible, and I, Jing Zhongyue, immediately left the large army, even leaving the left bank military division behind, and ran all the way back to Rifting Wind City.

You must know that I, Jing Zhongyue, have not rested for several days and nights.

But now that you have already run for dozens of miles, you suddenly changed your mind and said that you don't need to go back, you want to return to Wild Boar's Castle?

What do you think of my lord, Jing Zhongyue? Do you really think I can't punish you?

But she still suppressed her anger, and said lightly: Yun Zhonghe, please give me a reason, otherwise I will really enforce the military law against you.

My lord, it's too late. Yun Zhonghe said: Mo Qiu has already succeeded, and a catastrophe has already happened. If I guessed correctly, many people died from eating our salt, and a huge landslide occurred in our silver salt well. More people died.

My lord, what we are facing this time is an unprecedented catastrophe, and it is not just as simple as sanctions.

Jing Zhongyue felt it was unbelievable. Yun Zhonghe judged what Mo Qiu's specific conspiracy was just after reading a report? Judging that the salt in the Rift Valley eats the dead, and judging the landslide of the Silver Mine?

It's too pretentious, too pretentious.

Jing Zhongyue took that report, and it was just a very ordinary report. It said that when the warriors of the Black Blood Hall secretly inspected the Baiyin Salt Well, they accidentally found two child laborers, but they were sent home in time. The relevant director of the salt well Still got whipped and dismissed.

This kind of thing was very common before, and I don't know how many times it happened. After Jing Zhongyue came to power, the use of child labor was strictly prohibited, and such incidents almost disappeared, and it happened again after more than half a year.

Moreover, in this several thousand-word report, the issue of child labor is only mentioned in half a sentence.

There are also a few other words, that is, some dog bodies were found near the salt well.

Based on these few words, Yun Zhonghe concluded that something serious happened to the salt well in Baiyinling, and that Riftwind Valley was about to face extinction?

He is either a fairy or a lunatic.

But isn't Yun Zhonghe a lunatic? Crazy talkers, once they enter their own world, they can't extricate themselves completely, and they really regard themselves as a military adviser who can pinch and count, and whose wisdom is close to that of a demon.

If I'm not mistaken, the disaster has already happened. Let's find a way to face it. This will be the biggest crisis in Riftwind Valley in a few years.

Mo Qiu is too vicious and inhuman. How many people will die this time? Hundreds, thousands?

Yun Zhonghe kept sighing, in Jing Zhongyue's eyes, he was a lunatic, talking lunaticly.

Seeing it, Jing Zhongyue couldn't help sighing inwardly: It's really... a pity.

Jing Zhongyue also didn't want Yun Zhonghe to be just a gangster who swindled money and sex, and really hoped that he would have great talent so that he could make his way into the world.

A kid who cheats money and sex will never get on the stage, and will always be just a despicable and lowly person.

Yun Zhonghe, I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it. You are destined to be useless. Then Jing Zhongyue was about to cross off Yun Zhonghe's name in her heart.

However!

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes outside.

From afar.

Is the lord in front? I am Leng Bi, I am Leng Bi.

The voice of Leng Bi, the master of the Black Blood Hall, was hoarse and excited, even with a hint of fear.

Jing Zhongyue's heart skipped a beat.

Something really happened, definitely something happened.

Otherwise, Leng Bi would not leave everything in Split Wind City behind and rush here.

In the next second, Leng Bi rushed directly into the carriage, trembling and hissing: Master, something happened, something serious happened.

The salt we sold was poisonous and killed hundreds of people. The chamber of commerce of the princes' alliance, officials, and businessmen from many countries came to secretly investigate our silver salt well, hoping to find out the truth about the poisonous salt.

As a result, our Baiyin salt well collapsed strangely, killing more than a thousand people, and there were also 100 child laborers inside, the youngest was only six years old.

We strictly prohibit any child labor in the salt mine, not even one. We don't know where these child laborers come from and how they get into the salt mine.

Our salt well is obviously safe, but I don't know why it exploded and collapsed.

What's more serious is that most of the people who came to visit secretly died.

They included merchants from the Southern Zhou Empire, the Daying Empire, the Great Liang Kingdom, officials from the Alliance of Princes, and merchants from the Alliance of Princes. A total of nearly a hundred people also died inside.

The real catastrophe, hundreds of people died from eating the sold salt.

Illegal employment of child labor led to landslides and explosions, killing more than 100 children.

More than a hundred businessmen and officials who came to secretly investigate also died. This crime is too big.

It turned out that this was Mo Qiu's murderous hand, it was too inhumane.

But the strange thing is that Yun Zhonghe's guess was all right.
