That is a secret stronghold established by the imperial court in Changsha City. Unlike the official one, this stronghold is dedicated to dealing with secret affairs. Of course, the imperial court must have more than one stronghold in Changsha. After all, this is Changsha King Zhao Yu's headquarters, but Zhao Heng told Bai Yutang the only one.

This is also for the sake of safety. In fact, even these strongholds are not connected to each other. After all, they are behind enemy lines. If one is not careful, troubles will easily occur. Undercover investigations have never been so easy to do. ah.

According to the address given by Zhao Heng, Bai Yutang found a dilapidated house with a big black dog at the door, and knocked on the door lightly, using the code that had been agreed a long time ago. After a while, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a somewhat sallow and thin face came over and opened the door.

"It's the boss, hurry up, please, how is the business recently, has the child gone to school?"

Seeing Bai Yutang's attire, the middle-aged man suddenly seemed to meet an acquaintance, and talked a lot, while talking, he pulled Bai Yutang in, and also locked the door behind him. up.

Ignoring the other party's nonsense, Bai Yutang knew very well that those words were just for the neighbors to hear. After entering the yard, he looked around. This is a traditional farm courtyard. The house is not only clean, but also very warm, with some corn and bacon hanging on the roof beams, and some wood on the ground, it looks like an ordinary family.

If Bai Yutang hadn't known where this was in advance, he probably wouldn't have thought that this would be the location of the spies arranged by the imperial court. Looking back, Bai Yutang noticed the middle-aged man's hands, just like those ordinary peasants. , was very rough, and he didn't have any of the qualities that a spy should have. If it weren't for the words the other party said as soon as he entered the door, Bai Yutang really wondered if he had walked in the wrong door.

"Girl, there are guests here, pick up some good things, make some dishes, and this big brother and I have a good drink!"

Seeing Bai Yutang standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking around without saying a word, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands with a smile, and yelled into the house, as if he had a visitor at home.

Following the shout of the middle-aged man, a woman soon appeared from the room. She looked just like the middle-aged man, neither beautiful nor ugly. She was a normal person. After answering, Without looking at Bai Yutang, he started to get busy.

"Come on, boss, let's sit in the room, drink and chat..."

Seeing the middle-aged woman come out, the man stretched out his hand, and motioned for Bai Yutang to go in first. He was a little dazed by the actions of the two men, and Bai Yutang, who was not quite sure what to do, was bold and daring. Not afraid of any traps in the house, he walked in carelessly.

Of course, there are no traps in this house, just like an ordinary farmhouse. Outside is a small hall with some messy things of which I don’t know what they are. There is also an Eight Immortals table with a few stools. As for the place where it should be sleeping, it was blocked by a low curtain.

After roughly scanning the room, Bai Yutang found a stool and sat down, put his hands on the table, looked straight at the middle-aged man, did not speak, and only waited for the other party to give him an explanation. What the hell is that one coming out?

"Brother, don't be offended, the outside inspection is too strict now, be careful, there is no harm..."

Seeing Bai Yutang's appearance, the middle-aged man smiled a little embarrassedly, but then he straightened his face and asked about business: "Brother is from the capital, but what's the important thing to do?"

As a contact point, this middle-aged man does not play a big role here, but only plays a role of communication and contact. He doesn't know Bai Yutang, and he doesn't know why he wants to come here.

"It's nothing serious. You just said that the outside inspection is now strict. What's going on?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, didn't say anything, looking at the appearance of the room, the man in front of him couldn't help him, but he was a little curious about what the man said just now.

"Isn't it the King of Changsha? He may be planning to make some big moves recently. Anyway, a large-scale investigation suddenly started. The spies from the imperial court, as far as I know, within a short period of one month The time has been suppressed a lot, which makes me feel anxious now!"

He smiled wryly and shook his head, life for this spy is hard, no one will know if he is dead, now that the investigation is so strict outside, maybe he will be found at any time.

"Didn't you report to the court? If they sent people to arrest you, you wouldn't take some action?"

Although Bai Yutang is not very clear about the system of these spies, in his opinion, no matter what organization it is, such urgent emergency measures are still available, and it is impossible to just sit and wait for death. Whether it is withdrawing from Changsha or contacting the court, Fighting to the death with those people is a way out.

"Brother should not be a member of the court, this matter is far from that simple..."

He glanced at Bai Yutang in surprise, the middle-aged man thought about it carefully, and then he understood, shook his head, and said with a little sigh: "It took so much effort for the imperial court to plant so many treasures in Changsha City. Foreshadowing, how could it be possible to give up so easily, and it is even more impossible to talk about alliances. Although there are many spies buried in Changsha City, they cannot be opponents of the army. , the loss would be even greater!"

To put it simply, it is actually because the imperial court does not get the benefits in hand, and is even more unwilling to give up Changsha City. As for the lives of those spies, in their view, it is far less important than planting a nail in Changsha. Perhaps in the eyes of those upper class people , as long as one can be successfully left behind, no matter how many people die, it will not be a pity.

Naturally, Bai Yutang would not understand such a truth, after all, he was far from being so cruel, or rather, he did not have the thinking of a superior, but now that the other party has explained it so thoroughly, Bai Yutang naturally would not fail to understand.

It's just this kind of thing, and he has no good way. He can seek help in these strongholds, but it doesn't mean that he can order the people in all the strongholds in Changsha to obey his orders. After all, he is just a knight-errant. Such a great power bears the life and death of so many people.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yutang was about to say something when he heard a loud bang from outside, followed by a burst of messy footsteps and some people's voices. After listening to a few words carefully, Bai Yutang and that The expression of the middle-aged man suddenly changed.

Just as Bai Yutang wanted to go out to have a look, he was stopped by the middle-aged man. At this time, the face of the other party no longer had the simple and honest peasant family he saw at the beginning, but was full of dignity. He listened carefully to the movement outside, then lowered his head and said to Bai Yutang: "Brother, find a place to hide and escape later. I'm afraid the visitor is not kind this time!"

As he said that, without waiting for Bai Yutang to reply, he trotted out and saw his wife being held up with a knife by those men in black. If you have something to say, you can take whatever you fancy, I just beg you to spare the life of my mother-in-law and me, you can say whatever you want..."

In the yard were more than a dozen men dressed in black and wearing yaksha masks. Although they knew that this group of people would not be robbers, more likely they came here because they knew their identities, but for the sake of life, the man still pretended to be a thief. Putting on a frightened look, he begged for mercy tremblingly.

It's not that he doesn't want to work hard, but these days, as far as he knows, no one can escape from the strongholds destroyed by these men in black, no matter whether they are big or small. This man's martial arts are not high at all, and he There is no sword in hand, and the wife is still in the hands of others. What can I use to prove that I don't even have the capital to work hard.

"Stop talking nonsense, and don't act in front of us. Tell me about other strongholds you know, so I don't need to kill you today!"

The leading man in black, also wearing a yaksha mask, kicked the man's knee, just like treating the woman, put the knife in his hand on the man's neck, and said in a cold voice.

Obviously, they had already obtained accurate information about the identity of this man, and there was no possibility of being fooled at all. This made the man who was kicked to the ground by the other party collapse instantly.

"I advise you not to resist, but I only have one life. To tell you the truth, even your position was given to us by others. Even without you, there will be others. There is only one chance, you and you Whether you can save your mother-in-law's life is up to you!"

Seeing that the man kneeling on the ground no longer acted, but put on an appearance that he would rather die than die, the man in black couldn't help sneering twice, and persuaded him for the last time.

They have already summed up their experience in the actions of these few days. There are so many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If you give some safety guarantees, the other party will explain everything. It's worth the effort, ask twice, just say it, if you don't say it, then don't blame them for not giving the opportunity.

Hearing the man in black's words, the face of the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground was completely ashamed. In fact, when he saw these people, he had some guesses in his heart. After all, he hid so secretly. Li is even more cautious, not leaking any flaws. If the insider did not leak the secret, it would be difficult for these people to find him, let alone confirm it.

After clearly knowing that he was betrayed by others, the man's heart that would rather die than surrender suddenly collapsed. He hesitated and looked at his wife not far away. The man gritted his teeth and couldn't help but make up his mind. It's better to be alive, since he can live, who wants to die, not to mention, he didn't do it alone, if it is true, he is still a victim.

But before he opened his mouth to speak, Bai Yutang, who had been observing the situation outside the room, met a man in black who went to check inside the room, touched him silently, and killed the two men in black .

Glancing at the positions of the men in black in the yard, Bai Yutang calculated the route, and rushed out of the room quickly. He first aimed at the leader in black who was closest to him, and then caught him by surprise. After repelling it, Bai Yutang took out the dart from his waist and shot at the man in black who was pointing the knife at the woman's neck without even taking aim.

After these things were done, Bai Yutang conveniently pulled up the man who was kneeling on the ground, looked at him in a daze, and hadn't reacted to all these sudden things, and snatched the man in black who had just killed The knife that came over was stuffed into the opponent's hand, and then he ignored him, the long sword in his hand shone with silver light, he stepped lightly, and went straight to the black-clothed leader who was backing away to avoid it.
