May you live in peace

In Shacheng.

Gao Shan and several soldiers were walking on the streets of Shacheng disguised as businessmen.Captain Wei found a few people at noon today, and said that he wanted them to go to the city to inquire about the news. He was afraid that the people in the city would not dare to tell the truth because they were worried that they were soldiers, so he asked them to pretend to be businessmen and walk on the street, and Gao Shan was in charge of leading the team. .

The city is quite peaceful, because Hao Guo's army has been stationed outside the city under the order of the eldest princess, leaving only a part of the city to guard the city. Since the recapture of Shacheng, the people in the city have not been disturbed, so the interior of Shacheng is still very peaceful .

"Shanzi, Shacheng has been taken by the Beidi gang for decades. There must be some Beidi people left here. How can we ask?" Li Da walked behind, dragging the carriage, with a cautious look on his face.

Gao Shan looked at the serious and nervous expressions of several people, and couldn't help saying: "Who can't see something when you walk in the city with such expressions?"

When Li Da and the others heard this, they began to relax slowly.Gao Shan looked around. In fact, this time he came here to see what the people in Shacheng wanted. After all, Beidi had occupied the city for decades. If the people in the city were not convinced, it would not be conducive to the process of attacking Youzhou; It is a secret investigation. Two days ago, Beidi's spies were found in Shacheng, and they have been wandering in this generation recently.In order not to disturb the eldest princess, the captain sent his subordinates to the city to investigate, and asked them to keep their movements as small as possible.

Along the way, there were not many people on Shacheng Street. They had just pulled the wooden cart down to a teahouse, and a guy came out of it and came up to him, with a nervous face, and said, "Why did you bring things here during the day? Go in through the back door."

Li Da and the others were baffled by the assistant's words, "We are businessmen who have entered the city, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The guy's expression changed, but he also changed into a smiling face in an instant, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought it was a tea delivery, please."

Several people looked at the buddy strangely, leaving one person to drag the things to the backyard, and the others went into the teahouse.Gao Shan looked at the buddy who was following behind, his eyes changed, he didn't speak, went to a private room, and began to look into the teahouse.

"Shanzi, what should we do?" Li Da asked after pouring a cup of tea for everyone.

"Let's take a look first, and we'll separate later to find out the news. The captain asked us to go back at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest, so as not to disturb the people in the city, and don't disturb the 'rats' in the city." Gao Shan drank the tea, which was still quite cold Bitter, put down the cup, just sat still, looking down.

Li Da nodded, and began to make plans in his heart.After a while, the man who went to pull the cart came back, but his face was not very good.

"What's wrong? Da Mao." Li Da asked.

Shen Mao was a little angry, "The people here are really strange. I said I would bring the carriage in, but they insisted on stopping me at the door, saying that they would just help me, but they snatched it away from me."

Takasugi listened to the communication behind and looked at the building, it seems that this teahouse is really weird.

Just when Gao Shan was immersed in his own thoughts, there was a commotion downstairs.

"Go, this is the first time, you are really arrogant, if you do this again, we will sue the government." Downstairs, a man in sackcloth was a little angry, and the few people around them, their clothes should be Beidi.

"Heh, you frail scholars, you only dare to play tricks and fight if you have the ability. Your incompetent princess took advantage of our general's injury to temporarily take away this city. When our army arrives, you The princess is still begging for mercy, why are you clamoring?"

When Gao Shan heard the Beidi man say that Yin Xi was incompetent, he frowned. Yin Xi didn't order the Beidi people in the city to be arrested or strangled, but he didn't want to disturb the people in the city. What did he do to Beidi?

The other Hao people in the teahouse were instantly dissatisfied when they heard this, but most of the people in Shacheng were still very grateful to Yin Xi, otherwise they would still be enslaved by Beidi people.After winning the city, Yin Xi did not rob them of their things, but withdrew from outside the city to guard, and distributed the land of Shacheng to the people of Hao Guo, and gave the daily necessities that Beidi originally took away from the city to these poor people one by one. Shacheng people.Therefore, Yin Xi is still very popular.

"Come on, what are you afraid of? Beidi is no longer able to run wild in Shacheng. When the officers and soldiers arrive later, they will attack this group of animals." After a while, the people downstairs started fighting.Gao Shan winked at several people, then temporarily left the private room and went to the back pavilion.

"Looking at this trend, there are still conflicts between the people of Hao Guo and the people of Beidi. You divide into two teams and go around to investigate, and also look for anyone who is wearing Hao Guo costumes in the vicinity recently, but has a slightly stronger physique and rough skin. People who still stay with their burdens. Also, don’t make too much noise.” Takasugi said.This spy had sneaked into the city not long ago, because of his strange behavior and some news leaked recently, he was reported by Wei Hao's subordinates.Because it was discovered early, it can be confirmed that this person is currently staying in the city alone, and there are no other accomplices nearby.Gao Shan, Li Da and others were valued by Wei Hao because of their military exploits this time. In order to be able to promote and train them, they were allowed to carry out this operation.

Li Da and Gao Shan had the best relationship in the team. After nodding, they selected a few people as a team and prepared to go west.

"Shanzi, how do you arrange it alone?" Li Da saw that everyone had been divided, but Gaoshan was left alone, and asked in confusion.

"You guys go first, I'll walk around here alone." Several people discussed and then acted separately, and Gao Shan returned to the teahouse after several people left.

The people who made trouble in the teahouse had already left, leaving only a few guys cleaning up the debris on the floor. Gao Shan glanced around and found that the guy who picked them up just now was not there.

Seeing that Gao Shan was still in the teahouse, a waiter stepped forward and said, "I disturbed the guests."

Gao Shan shook his head and said 'no problem', then asked: "There are often troubles like this here?"

The guy nodded and replied: "It's been several times, and these Beidi people only dare to be arrogant around here. This place is far away from the main city, and the officers and soldiers can't control it."

Gao Shan frowned, but the guy said to himself: "In fact, it's better to fight to the government, so that someone can take care of these Beidi people. We have been suppressed and enslaved by these Di people in the past. Now Hao Guo After taking back Shacheng, we also felt bad, but we also hope to drive this group of people out."

The clerk consciously talked too much, apologized, Takasugi shook his head, and asked him if he had a room to stay.The clerk said there was a guest room in the side courtyard, so he took Takasugi there.

After arranging the accommodation for several people tonight, Takasugi looked at the guy who was about to leave, and stopped him, "Our goods are in the backyard, can you take us there, I want to see if the goods are damaged."

The buddy was embarrassed by Takasugi's request. "Guest officer, because the shopkeeper said that the things in the backyard were stolen not long ago, so except for him or Er Linzi who took them to the backyard, people generally don't allow people to go in without permission."

Gao Shan felt strange, and continued to ask: "But my goods are in the backyard, is it possible that I am not allowed to go in and check?"

"This..." the man faltered, "I'll call Er Linzi over, you can ask him."

Gao Shan waved his hand, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Forget it, you are really strange here, our own goods are not allowed to be inspected, and I will leave with the goods tomorrow morning."

Seeing Takasugi returning to the room, the man didn't care, and left.

Gao Shan waited for the footsteps to go away before leaving the door, looking at the position next to him separated by two walls, thinking about whether to inquire.

At night, a group of people returned to the teahouse, and seeing Gao Shan sitting in the private room waiting, several people went upstairs, closed the door tightly, and after checking that there was no one around, they sat around and talked about the information they had inquired.

"Shanzi, we inquired all the way in West Street. Most of the people in the city are dissatisfied with Beidi, and they want to drive away Beidi people. Moreover, I heard that not long ago, a man dressed in Hao Guo's costume came here with luggage. He stayed at a nearby inn and said that his behavior was a bit strange."

Listening to Li Da's narration, Gao Shan asked, "What's so strange?"

Li Da thought for a while, and said: "It is said that this person is dressed tightly, and he comes to rent a room at midnight every day when it is close to closing time, and leaves as soon as the door opens in the morning, without even seeing what he looks like.

Takasugi was a little regretful, but he was not in a hurry. After all, his current behavior was quite outstanding, and he stayed here recently, so he should not have left too far.

When the other team heard it, they were very surprised, "We went to the east, and they told us that there was a strange person moving around recently, dressed in Hao Guo costumes, with a strong physique and luggage. Although they didn't want to The person you mentioned comes and goes quickly, but it is also very secretive."

Li Da was taken aback by this sentence, and Gao Shan's expression changed slightly.Wei Hao can guarantee that only one of Beidi's spies is in the city, so who is the other one?Could it be that they are using blindfolds to confuse them, or are they two different teams?

"Shanzi, what should we do now? How about sending a letter to Colonel Wei?" Li Da and others looked at Gao Shan. Now that he is the team leader, it's up to him to decide.

Gao Shan nodded. After all, she was just a soldier, and it was the first time she came into contact with this kind of thing, so she didn't dare to make a decision privately.

"Be careful in your actions, don't expose it. Tomorrow we will narrow the scope and continue to investigate. It is best to narrow the scope to ordinary people. Don't startle the snake. If you find it, try to catch as much as possible. It is also possible in a last resort. Get rid of it, and we can't let him leave the city." After Gao Shan finished speaking, he let people disperse, and several people went to the side courtyard one after another.After tidying up, get ready to rest to eliminate the fatigue of the day.

After Gao Shan and the others fell asleep, they opened the door and went out of the yard. Seeing that the night was not too dark, they disappeared into the back hill of the pavilion, looking around.

When the surrounding lights were dimmed and the sky was already dark, Gao Shan slowly felt his way, bypassed the front building, and slowly approached the backyard.
