When I found Changqing, he was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect me to come to him so early.
And he is a smart person, and he found out that the problem was wrong at the first time.
At the beginning, the conversation was not going well, and Changqing simply told me that he was no longer young, and he was unwilling to do such a shady job. No matter how much I persuade him, he always has the same argument:
"I, Changqing, keep my promise. If you want my life, you can take it. I don't have anything to be attached to in this world. If I die, I will die. But if you want me to work for you, I'm sorry , you don't have the qualifications yet."
It can be regarded as iron-clad.
However, it is impossible for a person to have no expectations in the world.
Maybe going through a lot of things will make people numb, but it doesn't mean that people's desires will be wiped out.
No matter how much I tried to persuade, Changqing remained stubborn and refused to cooperate until I suddenly asked:
"What if I say that I can help you rehabilitate the original boss?"
Changqing squinted his eyes, the slanted scar on his left eye was very conspicuous. He was silent for a while, clasped his hands together, and asked me:
"You have this ability?"
I smiled and said:
"You are in Yuxi City, and you know the speed of Yuxi City's development very well."
Changqing sneered and said:
"That's Heyue, Baihuang and the others have the ability, otherwise you can get into your present appearance? You should thank them for not abandoning you when you were at your worst. But now it seems that you have no intention of repenting at all." , even the city lord is acting foolishly, what kind of future does such a city have?"
I didn't argue with him, I waved my hand:
"Changqing. Are you engaged in intelligence or internal affairs?"
Changqing didn't speak.
I said:
"Perhaps for Heyue, whether I am capable or not directly affects the development of Yuxi City. But I think, for you people, isn't a city lord like me the best choice? At least I won't let the following It’s because I don’t have a good reputation in the first place, so it doesn’t matter if I bear some more infamy.”
Changqing frowned, his eyes like a knife were carved on my body, looking up and down.
After a while, Changqing nodded and said:
"Yes. But don't let my two brothers know about this matter. They are homeless people from Yuxi City, and they are good people with a clean background. They are different from us... "
It is not strange to me that Changqing will agree to my solicitation. A person who is alone may truly have nothing to worry about. Changqing is followed by two younger brothers. According to Changqing's temperament, it is impossible for those two people to suffer with him all the time. Accepting my offer means that he has changed from a mouse hiding everywhere to an ordinary person who is harmless to humans and animals. The life of licking blood with a knife is not easy, but it is also better than the life of wandering outside in frost and snow.
After briefly reaching the contract, Changqing first gave me a general overview of his situation:
"I was sent to this city more than ten years ago. Cangzhou Territory and Yunyang Territory are also deadly enemies, you should be very clear about this. Yuxi City is the westernmost part of Yunyang Territory, close to the demons. If this city collapses Now, the demons are likely to penetrate deep into the belly of Yunyang territory, which the lord of Cangzhou is very willing to see. So he sent me and two other people to Yuxi City, trying to secretly destroy the city defenses of Yuxi City. But because of the help of the demons It is really disgusting to fight against your compatriots with your hands, and this matter must be kept absolutely secret."
"At that time, the code name of my immediate superior was Feng. One of the four high-level executives in Cangzhou Anbu, who directly took orders from the Cangzhou lord. But that year, I hadn't found a chance to do anything. I don't know who exposed this matter. Later I guessed , most likely one of the remaining three high-level officials deliberately poked it out, otherwise such confidential documents would not have been released."
Speaking of this, Changqing's eyes changed obviously.
He gritted his teeth tightly, his face full of anger. I can understand his feelings. After all, being stabbed in the back by one of my own people doesn't make anyone happy.
Changqing sighed and continued:
"You can see it too. Although the prestige is getting worse every year, the king still has the power to issue orders. The most he has done in these years is to integrate the power of thirty-six lords to resist foreign invasion. The demons in the west, the giants in the north, the deep seas in the south, and the dragons in the east, none of them is safe. This has also formed a mainstream trend in recent years, that is, internal fighting is okay, but as a human being, you are fighting There must be no ambiguity about the alien race. The lord of Cangzhou used the hands of the demons to take advantage of the Yunyang territory. It was an extremely bad thing at the time, and someone had to take the blame. Because the three people who came to Yuxi City, including me, our immediate superiors It was Mr. Feng, so all the blame that year was handed over to Mr. Feng."
"Obviously he is a very nice person. He treated us very well. It is said that when he died, he went to the execution ground calmly without a single complaint. The people all over the sky scolded him. He smiled and his head rolled to the ground. I If I were the lord of Cangzhou, I should find a crack in the ground and sneak in."
I asked:
"You said three people came to Yuxi City, what about the other two?"
Evergreen said:
"Dead. I buried their bodies in the wasteland with my own hands. After Mr. Feng's death, in order to make this matter completely untested, Cangzhou once sent several waves of assassins just to kill the three of us. Of the three of us, one died in the In the hands of the assassin, one became ill from fear and passed away soon. Only I saved my life by cheating death, but since then I can only wander outside, and I dare not mention the past at all. If I say one more word, I may die I don't understand."
Changqing squinted his eyes, and finally said:
"If it's not desperate, who would want to join Anbu? In my opinion, people have feelings. Let people with feelings stay in one place for many years as an undercover agent. It's hard to guarantee that no one will have other ideas. Unless that person completely wipe out his feelings and let him be a cold-blooded person, otherwise no one can guarantee that his chess pieces will not change their minds."
I don't know why, when Changqing said this, the first thing I thought of was that assassin named Hilo, with those dead eyes.
I told Changqing about my current thoughts. Establish an undercover organization centered on him and Hilo, but this requires him to get some information about Hilo first.
Changqing thought for a while, then replied:
"That little girl is very cautious. Even if we saved her life, she would not say anything more. It is impossible to ask all the information you mentioned, but only one. Otherwise, she will definitely be alerted."
I said:
"Then ask her why she left a note in the City Lord's Mansion before setting fire to the food and grass."
