Chapter 629
"Read the full text of the general!" A young man with a hidden arrow walked behind Cheng Jin and whispered, "It seems that everyone here is a spiritual cultivator!"
The dark spiritual cultivators cannot see through, but they have sharp intuition. They cannot tell the level of the other party's cultivation, but they can still tell whether the other party is a spiritual cultivator.
So many people in the tavern are actually spiritual cultivators, which is quite unexpected for Cheng Jin. He sent people to secretly monitor Yuan Fang's every move under the order of Tang Yin. Tang Yin did not take Yuan Fang with him when he left the barracks, but not long after Tang Yin left, Yuan Fang also quietly left the barracks, changed into casual clothes, and sneaked into Qingyuan City.
His actions were very covert, which could deceive everyone in the Feng Army, and even avoid the spies of the Sky Eye and the Ground Net, but he could not deceive the stalking masters in the hidden arrows. At this time, he was in this tavern, and Cheng Jin knew it. He guessed that if Yuan Fang really had ill intentions, he must have helpers, but he didn't know how many people there would be. But now it seems that everyone in this tavern is an exception, and they are all Yuan Fang's minions.
Cheng Jin was surprised, but on the surface he remained calm, with no change on his cold face. He just turned his head slightly and whispered to his subordinates behind him: "Notify Generals Jia Xi and Ao Qing to lead Team 2 and Team 3 here immediately."
The Dark Arrows have now developed into a considerable force. Although they are still divided into three teams, the number of people has increased to about 500, and the members of each team are more than 100. At the same time, the gap in strength between the teams is gradually narrowing. Whether it is Team 1, Team 2 or Team 3, there are many strong dark spirit masters. Even Cheng Jin, Jia Xi and Ao Qing are no longer the strongest in spirit and cultivation among the Dark Arrows.
Hearing Cheng Jin's order, the young man agreed and slowly retreated. After he left the tavern, he drifted with shadows and disappeared.
After he left, Cheng Jin turned his head to look at the other young man beside him and shook his head slightly.
The young man was about 27 or 28 years old, short and thin, like a monkey that had become a spirit, and looked much younger than his actual age. This man was called Jiang Qianqian, from Shangjing, and came here because Feng State valued dark spiritualists. Although he looked plain, his spiritual martial arts skills were not simple, and he was born with extraordinary six senses, especially his sense of smell, which was extremely sensitive and good at tracking. After he joined the Dark Arrow, he was immediately valued by Cheng Jin and has now been promoted to the deputy captain of the Dark Arrow Team 1. Because the title of captain of the Dark Arrow Team 1 has always been held by Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin is responsible for the affairs of the entire Dark Arrow and has no time to directly lead the team, the captain of the Dark Arrow Team 1 is actually Jiang Qianqian, and it is he who is responsible for monitoring Yuan Fang this time.
Seeing Cheng Jin's gesture, Zhang Qianqian understood, shook his body, and slowly walked towards the tavern.
The first floor of the tavern was full of people. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. People's eyes were shining, and they stared coldly at Zhang Qianqian who walked into the crowd. Zhang Qianqian turned a blind eye to the hostility of the crowd and the murderous aura around him. As he walked, he was breathing hard, looking for a familiar smell.
A person's clothes, appearance, body shape, even gender, and voice can change, but the body odor naturally emitted by the body will not change. Zhang Qianqian's search took advantage of this. He walked from front to back and from left to right among the drinkers, carefully searched twice, and found nothing. Then he slowly retreated to Cheng Jin and shook his head slightly.
Cheng Jin trusted Jiang Qianqian's ability very much. Since he didn't find it, Yuan Fang must not be on the first floor. He subconsciously looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor, pondered for a moment, then turned around and winked at the secret arrows behind him. Then, he looked relaxed, laughed as if nothing had happened, knocked on the counter of the tavern, and said, "Boss, what's wrong? Aren't you doing business today?"
The shopkeeper standing at the counter had already touched the hidden weapon on his waist with both hands. When he suddenly heard Cheng Jin's question, he was stunned at first, then immediately smiled and nodded and said, "General, you can see that our store is small and there are many people. I'm afraid there is not enough room for so many of you, General!"
Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows, looked around with a smile, and said, "If you squeeze in, you can still sit!" As he spoke, he shook his head, and the secret arrows under his command understood and sent more than 20 people to walk into the inner end from the entrance of the tavern and interspersed among the drinkers. Although there was no place to sit, they squeezed into the crowd and sat closely with many drinkers almost side by side.
The move of Anjian surprised the drinkers present. Now, people can see that the identity of this Fengjun team is not simple, and they are not good. It is very likely that they have seen through their identities. If they take action directly, things will be simple. At most, they will fight to the death. But the other party did not take action, and they were interspersed among their people. This is like a nail inserted into them, making them in a dilemma. It is not right to fight or not to fight. The situation is extremely embarrassing.
Cheng Jin was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates. He smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Look, aren't they sitting down now?" Before the shopkeeper spoke, he waved his hand again and said, "Those who can't sit down, follow me to the second floor!" As he spoke, he strode to the second floor.
At this time, the scene in the tavern was both interesting and weird. The first floor was crowded with many drinkers and Anjian personnel sitting together, while the second floor seemed empty, with a dozen people sitting sparsely.
Cheng Jin took more than 20 subordinates to the second floor. Jiang Qianqian's eyes were like lightning, slowly sweeping over everyone present. When he saw Yuan Fang, who was drinking with his head down, his eyes suddenly lit up and nodded to Cheng Jin.
Understanding what he meant, Cheng Jin's heart was shocked, and he waved to his men. The more than 20 secret arrow personnel who followed him upstairs dispersed and interspersed among the drinkers at each table, sitting next to each other.
Cheng Jin and Jiang Qianqian walked directly to Yuan Fang, looked down at Yuan Fang who was drinking with his head down, and then looked at the girl in white sitting next to him. He smiled indifferently, sat down slowly opposite Yuan Fang, and then smiled faintly, saying: "Mr. Yuan Fang, I didn't expect we met here."
As if he didn't hear him, Yuan Fang still lowered his head and drank.
Cheng Jin sneered in his heart and said, "Why? Mr. Yuan Fang doesn't even recognize me, right?"
At this time, 'Yuan Fang', who was sitting opposite him, finally raised his head, looked at Cheng Jin blankly, and asked doubtfully, "General, I guess you recognized the wrong person, right?"
Cheng Jin was also shocked when he saw it. The person sitting opposite him was not Yuan Fang, but a young man he had never seen before. This man was only in his early twenties, with a shiny copper-brown face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His appearance was rough and different from the middle-aged and gentle Yuan Fang.
This...what's going on? Cheng Jin's eyes were startled, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Qianqian beside him.
At this time, Jiang Qianqian was staring at the black-faced young man intently. He could be 100% sure that the clothes the young man was wearing were definitely Yuan Fang's clothes. If the other party was stealing, it was not impossible. However, as the saying goes, people's clothes, appearance, body shape, etc. can change, but body odor will not change.
He walked up to the young man, suddenly bent down, and his thin face with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks almost touched the young man's cheek. He took three deep breaths, then said with a deep look and a firm tone: "You are Mr. Yuan Fang! Although you can change in a thousand ways, the smell of your body will not change!" After speaking, he straightened his waist, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked back to Cheng Jin's side.
After hearing his words, the faces of the drinkers present changed, including the woman in white. The young man also showed a trace of surprise and astonishment in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately. Although the surprise in his eyes may not even last for one tenth of a second, it was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Cheng Jin.
Now Cheng Jin was almost certain that the young man in front of him was indeed Yuan Fang. From this, it can be inferred that the king's original guess was wrong. The white-clothed woman among the assassins who assassinated the king last time was not Miss Linglong, and the real Miss Linglong was far away in the sky, close at hand, and it was this Yuan Fang.
However, there are still too many questions that Cheng Jin can't figure out, but now he has no time to ask more questions. The team that the king is in is about to arrive. What he has to do now is to control these ill-intentioned spiritual practitioners in the tavern, especially Yuan Fang in front of him.
Cheng Jin looked at the young man opposite with a smile, stretched out his hand, took the wine pot and wine glass in front of the young man, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it up without any hesitation. Then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Yuan Fang to have such a brilliant disguise. Even I was almost deceived by him. But, Mr. Yuan Fang should be in the Hedong camp now, why did he suddenly run to Qingyuan?"
At this point, the young man can no longer continue to hide it. He knows Cheng Jin too well. If he is not sure, he will never come to his door. Now there are dozens of elite dark arrows following him into the tavern, and there is no telling how many Feng troops are hiding outside the tavern!
Sighing secretly in his heart, he met Cheng Jin*'s gaze fearlessly, stared at him for a moment, suddenly smiled, and asked in a calm and casual tone: "There is something I don't understand, I wonder if General Cheng Jin can tell me?"
The young man called out his name, and Cheng Jin was more certain of his identity. He nodded and smiled: "Mr. Yuan Fang, please speak!"
"How did you know I was here?"
"Since I left the military camp with the king, my brother has been watching you." Cheng Jin looked at Jiang Qianqian beside him while speaking.
The young man also looked up, then shook his head in confusion and said, "I am a military officer appointed by the king. What right do you have to send someone to monitor me?"
Cheng Jin shrugged and said calmly, "This is not my intention, but the king's order."
"King?"
"That's right! In fact, the king has sent guards to monitor Mr. Yuan Fang, but as for why he asked me to send someone to monitor you again, I don't know. I think the king doesn't trust the ability of the guards! Facts have proved that the king's decision is not wrong." Cheng Jin really didn't know how Tang Yin realized that there was something wrong with Yuan Fang. In his opinion, Yuan Fang had not done anything unusual since he joined his side. Not only was he well-behaved, but he also often gave the other party useful suggestions. He should be a pillar of talent, but who knew that he was doing something shady behind the scenes.
