Chapter 751 You are not a young lady, what do I want you to do?
When the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, the driver's hat covered half of his face. Tu Bai pulled the reins and half turned his head to ask behind him, "What's the news?"
Zhang Bin: "It's related to the spy from Beiling."
Tu Bai's face darkened: "Do you know who it is?"
"Not really, but Song Jinxiu found out today that the man's code name is Ming Ke."
Zhang Bing casually said, "Things at Munan Pass are starting to show some signs of progress. The master's plan is halfway done. If we manage it well this time, we might be able to inflict a heavy loss on Xiahou Ling and Beiling."
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and when a carriage came towards us, it splashed mud all over the ground.
Seeing the people on the other side rushing away, Zhang Bing said outside, "There's a commotion at the Princess's Mansion tonight, and it's not quiet outside either. Let's go back and talk to you in detail."
Tu Bai also knew the seriousness of the matter, and when he pulled the reins, the carriage sped up.
Zhang Bin's external identity is that he is from Beiling, but he has half Wei Dynasty blood. He has lived in the border town of Wei since he was a child. Because his biological father is from Beiling, he has been excluded by people around him since he was a child. When he was a child, his family suffered a tragedy, and he followed his father to Beiling to do business. After his father passed away, he took over the family business and began to travel around the country. His "rescue" of Song Jinxiu was also an accident.
When Zhang Bin and Tu Bai returned to their place in Beiling Imperial City, someone was already waiting at the door.
After the two entered the mansion and stood for a while, someone came in from outside.
"Boss, there are no tails out there."
Zhang Bin laughed out loud: "It seems that I did a pretty good job in this play."
Tu Bai was more cautious: "Song Jinxiu is not the same as he was back then. Just because he doesn't let anyone follow you doesn't mean he isn't on guard against you."
He turned to the people at the door and instructed, "Have someone keep an eye on everything, increase patrols, and be careful inside and outside the palace. Also, remember to report any news from the Song family, the Imperial Master's Mansion, and even Princess Chuyun's Mansion promptly."
"yes."
The man responded and said, "By the way, Commander Tu, the master has sent a letter."
"When was it delivered?"
"Just arrived not long ago, people are inside."
Zhang Bing and Tu Bai looked at each other. They had been in Beiling for half a year and had always kept in touch with the capital. However, in the past, they had only received letters from there. This time, someone actually sent it over. Perhaps it was something important.
The two of them did not dare to delay and walked quickly inside. When the door opened, the person inside who had his back to the outside turned around.
Zhang Bing looked surprised: "Hang Li? Why is it you?"
"And me."
A slightly jumpy voice came from the side, and Tu Bai and the others turned their heads and saw a happy person sitting on a chair inside with a big grin on his face.
Cang Lang stood up, holding a half-opened book in his hand and waved at the two of them: "Long time no see, did you miss me?"
Tu Bai spat at him: "You are not a young lady, why would I miss you?"
Zhang Bin burst into laughter. He was also extremely surprised to see Canglang and Hang Li, but his face was filled with genuine joy. He walked up to Hang Li and patted him on the shoulder twice, "Good boy, you've grown stronger."
Hang Li smiled and said, "Fighting and killing every day, it would be strange if he wasn't strong. But Brother Zhang still looks as charming as ever."
Zhang Bing rolled his eyes at him when he heard that. "You little brat, how come you've learned to be so mean from Cang Lang?"
Although Zhang Bin had never been seen in Beiling before and rarely appeared in public when he was in the capital of Wei, he had come into contact with some people when working for his master. Beiling had sent spies south many times in recent years, so he made some adjustments to his face to be on the safe side.
Not only did he have a scar on his forehead, but he also had an untidy beard, making him look several years older. Even people who had seen him before would probably have difficulty recognizing him at first glance.
Hang Li praised him and was simply lying with his eyes open.
The few of them had known each other for many years and had been through life and death together, so even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there was no sense of strangeness at all.
After everyone was seated, Zhang Bing poured a cup of hot tea and asked Hang Li, "When I went to Luoyan Pass before, I heard from General Di that you went to Linping with the Dragon Court Guards. Why did you come to Beiling this time?"
He turned his head again and looked at Canglang over there:
"And you, didn't you go to the South? Why are you here?"
Canglang smiled and said, "It was a long time ago that I went to the south. The war in the south has been settled. King Pingshan and his men have been dealt with. Those other vassal kings are nothing to worry about. With General Qi and General Xiao here, and even Marquis Wenxin has escorted King Pingshan back to the court, there's naturally no need for me to stay there any longer."
"My master has something to tell General Di and the others, and he happened to be sending a letter to you, so I just stopped by."
Hang Li said, "The border situation is tense these days, and it's difficult to enter or exit Luoyan Pass. Canglang came here from Linping. I happened to be leading troops to guard the border there these days, and I was worried that he would be unsafe alone, so I followed him here. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"So fast?" Zhang Bing frowned.
Hang Li said, "We have to hurry. Beiling has been under strict inspection recently, and there's been a lot of panic along the way. I'm afraid the Imperial City will close down at any moment. We're here under the guise of a drug dealer this time, so we need to leave before they close down the city. Otherwise, if we get trapped here, we'll be in big trouble."
Tu Bai heard this and said, "Hang Li is right. They should leave early to avoid getting into trouble."
Compared to him and Zhang Bin, Canglang and the others have quite a few "acquaintances" in Beiling.
Tu Bai said seriously: "Since time is pressing, let's stop talking nonsense. What are your instructions this time, Master?"
Cang Lang didn't reply, but instead asked, "Did the message sent from Luoyan Pass yesterday reach Xiahou Ling?"
"Are you talking about General Yin and the South Pass incident?" Zhang Bing asked. Seeing Canglang nod, he said, "It's already been sent. Xiahou Ling not only reacted strongly, but also revealed it to Song Jinxiu."
"Xiahou Ling had long been secretly colluding with Southern Qi, waiting for Beiling to march south. Southern Qi then took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on Munan Pass. Beiling was short on food and fodder, and had hoped to rely on an alliance with Southern Qi to balance the power of Wei, dividing its forces and gradually eroding them. However, news of General Yin's trip to Munan Pass disrupted all his plans."
"I heard from Song Jinxiu that Xiahou Ling might change his plans because of this news. I deliberately revealed to Song Jinxiu that the master had ordered the requisition of merchant ships to transport food and supplies south. It seems that he had no intention of informing Xiahou Ling of this. Instead, he seemed to be using this as an excuse to bite Xiahou Ling back."
Canglang tilted his head slightly: "Are they not on good terms?"
Zhang Bing scoffed, "How can there be harmony?"
Xiahou Ling was conceited and arrogant. He kept Song Jinxiu just like raising a dog that could bite people. However, Song Jinxiu was born into a powerful and noble family. He had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Even though he had been down and out for a while, he was still a noble man at heart. How could he bear such humiliation?
"Song Jinxiu has long been dissatisfied with Xiahou Ling, and now he has revealed himself to the Khan of Beiling. If given the opportunity, he will definitely abandon Xiahou Ling and climb up the ladder."
