67. Born with supernatural powers
In the alleys of Los Angeles in the early morning, dark clouds moved lightly through the alleys, neither hurried nor hurried, with the demeanor of a general.
Behind it, only six of the most agile tabby cats were following.
When they passed by, a guard dog rushed out and barked, but one of the tabby cats just gave the guard dog a slight warning look, and the guard dog immediately whimpered and hid back home.
The next moment, a tabby cat came running towards us and meowed: Not found!
The dark cloud also meowed: "Probe again, report again!"
The tabby cat turned and ran away.
But after a while, the other tabby cat that was exploring the way also turned back: I didn’t find it!
Dark Cloud: Explore again, report again!
It sent out six tabby cats, each of which went after him in six different directions. It didn't believe that it couldn't find the person Chen Ji mentioned.
At this time, a tabby cat came running back: Found it!
The dark clouds rushed out with a whoosh, and the black figure was as smooth and fierce as a flowing shadow.
Si Cao had already walked to Changning Street, and the dagger in his hand had disappeared and was hidden in his sleeve.
When he walked among the crowd, he looked like an ordinary tenant, nothing special.
The number of pedestrians on the streets of Los Angeles has gradually increased. Every household carries out their toilets and pours the leftover feces into the street toilets built by the government.
The night soil pickers gathered around the toilet, scooping out the waste as residents dumped it.
In this era, the scramble for manure has become a huge industry chain. Merchants mix manure into hard soil to shape it, compost it, and sell it to farmers.
Some dung pickers have accumulated a fortune from this business, and they have also been given the unique name "Qingjiaotou".
Si Cao suddenly stopped and glanced sideways. His eyes under his bamboo hat were as sharp as a knife, cutting into every passerby.
But no matter how long he searched, he couldn't find any clues.
It was strange. Si Cao always had an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, as if someone was pressing a needle between his eyebrows, making them tingle.
He had this feeling every time he was being monitored, but this time, he didn't find the person who was monitoring him.
As he was examining it, a tabby cat swaggered past his feet.
Si Cao just glanced at it lightly and then looked away without thinking any more.
Who is following me?
secret service
Or that shopkeeper Yuan or the Liu family?
Thinking of this, Si Cao quickened his pace. He entered a dead end and climbed up the wall with just a light leap.
He crouched down behind a roof, cautiously poked his head out and stared at the dead end, wanting to see who would chase him.
However, Si Cao waited for a quarter of an hour but still saw no one following him.
On the roof of this residential area, there was only a black cat playing with a tabby cat not far away, and there was nothing unusual.
Si Cao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the string in his head had been too tense recently. He had been thinking too much..."
In the deserted alley, Chen Ji leaned against the gray wall beside him and breathed slowly. He was not sure whether Wu Yun could catch up with Si Cao, but he had to give it a try.
Once upon a time, he had no stance between the Ning Dynasty's Secret Service and the Jing Dynasty's Military Intelligence Department. He would work for anyone as long as they were paid.
But life cannot be like walking on a tightrope every day... When watching the sunrise at the Drum Tower, Chen Ji looked at his Ning Chao friends around him and suddenly wanted to have a new beginning.
The identity of a spy in the Military Intelligence Department was like a huge chasm on his road to a new beginning.
If you want to have a new beginning, you must end your old identity.
Now, there should be only four people who know his identity as a spy in the Military Intelligence Department: his uncle, two officers in the department, and the chief.
The legendary uncle has already stepped down, and the other party can no longer control the Military Intelligence Department, and naturally cannot control him.
If this uncle could be completely defeated by his political enemies, that would be the best outcome. We would be separated by two dynasties and never see each other again...
As for the remaining three, as long as he kills them all, they will gradually fade out of the sight of Jingchao Military Intelligence Department.
The prince once asked him on the Drum Tower what he wanted to do in the future. He didn't know at the time and just said he wanted to survive.
Now he knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to get rid of Jingchao Military Intelligence Department.
Chen Ji leaned against the wall and slowly straightened up. The wound had just been pressed by Manager Yuan, and he was in a hurry to get on with his journey, so the wound broke open again.
It was not until he lifted up his shirt that he discovered his pants were soaked with blood.
But now he couldn't care less. He dusted himself off and limped along the alley towards the clinic.
Chen Ji gathered his clothes to cover the bloodstains on his pants, but he just walked out of the alley and then retreated back.
At this moment, Jinzhu was standing at the door of Taiping Medical Clinic and saying something through the door.
Chen Ji frowned. The golden pig blocked the way back. If Bai Li opened the door for the other party at this moment, and the other party entered the clinic and found that Bai Li was not inside, he would definitely become suspicious.
"Bai Li, you must help me hold him back."
Chen Ji climbed onto the roof with difficulty, feeling uneasy. He didn't even know whether Bai Li would help him delay time. After all, he had not explained this to Bai Li.
In front of Taiping Medical Clinic.
"You are Chen Ji's friend"
Princess Baili asked doubtfully through the door.
"right,"
The Golden Pig smiled and said, "Please open the door. I brought him some nourishing food.
At this moment, Bai Li subconsciously wanted to say that Chen Ji had gone out, so why not come back later?
But she looked back at the empty bamboo chair, recalling how Chen Ji had just slipped away, and suddenly felt that she couldn't say that.
She thought for a few seconds and said, "Chen Ji is seriously injured and is still sleeping. Please wait a moment. I will go and call him.
The Golden Pig muttered outside the door: "The princess of the palace is so ignorant of the ways of the world. Even if you go to wake him up, at least let me go in and wait. What does it mean that you won't open the door...
He gently pulled the door and pushed it again, only to find that the door of Taiping Medical Clinic was bolted and could not be opened at all.
Jin Zhu was even more confused. Although the clinic was not like a breakfast shop and did not need to open so early, there was no one to fetch water in the early morning. What was the other party doing inside with the door closed?
Thinking of this, Jinzhu slowly retreated to Anxi Street and scanned the rooftops.
Just as he was about to climb onto the roof and sneak in to take a look, he heard the voice of Princess Baili from inside the Taiping Clinic: "Chen Ji is still sleeping, but you can come in and wait for him. I'll open the door for you."
When Golden Pig heard this, he gave up the idea of sneaking in and waited patiently.
But after waiting for a long time, the door did not open.
Jin Zhu asked in a serious tone: "Why don't you open the door?
Princess Baili said hurriedly from inside the room, "I don't know why the door latch is stuck. I can't pull it out."
The next moment, the Golden Pig used all his strength to pull the door hard, but heard the latch break with a click.
The princess in the room took several steps back in fright, but Jin Zhu rushed in with a smile on his face: "The door latch may be rotten, so it won't open. I'll send someone to make a new one this afternoon. It will be kept for future use."
The princess was anxious and pulled his arm desperately: "Hey, how dare you break into a private house? This is outrageous! You didn't hurt Chen Ji, did you? Don't even think about hurting him again!"
However, the princess was no match for the golden pig in strength, and was dragged by him to slide on the floor.
The princess shouted loudly: "Brother, Doctor Yao, Brother Gou'er, someone broke into the clinic!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The prince was the first to rush over, blocking the golden pig's way and reaching out to grab the golden pig's clothes.
But Jin Zhu was ruthless and turned around to break free from the prince and the princess, and then crashed into Liang Maoer.
He pushed Liang Mao'er, but failed. Instead, Liang Mao'er pursed her lips and pushed him back to the main hall door!
"Hey,"
Jin Zhu refused to believe in evil and struggled with Liang Maoer, trying to use wrestling skills to knock Liang Maoer to the ground.
But the strange thing is that Liang Mao'er's ground is more stable than his, and he can't fall at all!
“Hey.”
The Golden Pig looked at Liang Mao'er in surprise: "Born with supernatural powers!"
Liang Maoer tugged at Jin Zhu's clothes and said in a muffled voice, "Why did you break into the clinic?"
Knowing that he could not defeat the enemy head-on, Jinzhu immediately took off his outer coat like shedding a shell, crawled out from under Liang Maoer's armpit, and rushed into the apprentice dormitory.
He was stunned for a moment. In the dim apprentice dormitory, Chen Ji was wrapped in a quilt and sleeping on the apprentice bunk bed, which was completely different from what he had expected.
The prince, the princess, She Dengke, Liu Quxing and others rushed into the apprentice dormitory, trying to drag the golden pig out of the door.
But the golden pig's feet seemed to have nails, and it didn't move at all no matter how many people dragged it.
The princess turned around and looked at Liang Gou'er: "Brother Gou'er, please help me.
But Liang Gou'er was sweeping the floor, pretending he heard nothing.
Seeing this, Liang Maoer grabbed the golden pig's arm and pulled it out of the door.
The golden pig's feet were pulled off the ground, and he cried out in surprise: "Fuck!"
Liang Maoer carried the golden pig into the yard, and a group of people surrounded it and blocked the kitchen door.
Bai Li stood outside the door with her hands on her hips. She frowned and lowered her voice to scold: "You are not Chen Ji's friend at all. How can you break into your friend's house like this?
Jin Zhu quickly explained with a smile, "I was just worried about Chen Ji. You didn't open the door for so long that I thought something had happened inside."
"Even if the sky falls, this won't happen!
Old man Yao stood beside the apricot tree with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Master Jinzhu, what brings you here today?
Jin Zhu picked up the snacks and fruits in his hands and said, "Earlier, our Secret Service was trying to apprehend a spy from Jing Dynasty, but he accidentally escaped and injured Chen Ji who was passing by.
After all, he was injured like this because of our negligence, so I felt bad and came to visit him.
The prince and Zili were stunned. This fat man was actually from the Conspiracy Department. No wonder Liang Gou'er was reluctant to take action just now!
The two men looked at Liang Gou'er, but saw that he was still holding the bamboo broom as if nothing had happened.
Bai Li turned to the Golden Pig and said, "Master Golden Pig, you have seen the people and delivered the gifts, please go back.
"Please do your duty and arrest Jingchao spies from now on. Do not let any more spies escape and injure others... Where is the spy who injured Chen Ji being held now?"
Jin Zhu smiled and said, "No, no, no, he was imprisoned. He was killed by Chen Ji."
The prince and Bai Li gasped and subconsciously turned around to look at the apprentice dormitory. Before this, they had no way of connecting Chen Ji with murder.
Bai Li recalled Chen Ji's action of slipping away just now, and his expression became complicated.
This apprentice in the medical clinic doesn't seem to be as simple as he thought...
Just when everyone was stunned, Jin Zhu slipped through the gaps in the crowd like a loach, entered the apprentice's dormitory, and pulled back the quilt covering Chen Ji, revealing half of his body.
But Chen Ji was wearing a pajamas lined with lining, and he slowly opened his eyes: "Master Jinzhu, why are you here?"
Jin Zhu's frown slowly relaxed, and before everyone gathered around him again, he hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "I won't bother you today. I'll come visit you again when Chen Ji is better.
After saying that, he slipped away.
Chen Ji sat on the bed and gasped. Jin Zhu was too difficult to deal with. His suspicious character, unwilling to miss any details, was undoubtedly what the Secret Service needed most.
But if you become an opponent of such a person, the slightest mistake will lead to your downfall.
Everyone wanted to come in and ask Chen Ji what was going on, but they saw Bai Li standing at the door and said softly: "You guys go and do your work, I have something to ask him."
After everyone left, Bai Li asked: "Where did you go just now?"
Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "Princess, I don't want to lie to you.
If you want to believe me, don't ask.
"Then tell me first, was it arranged by someone for you to stay with me and my brother?"
“No, I won’t do anything to harm you.
"Okay, I won't ask again.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else what happened just now."
After saying that, she turned and walked out the door, calling the prince, "Brother, let's go back to the palace."
The prince was stunned for a moment: "Are you in such a hurry to go back? I want to stay for lunch.
Chen Ji sat on the bed, listening to the sound of them climbing up the ladder and leaving over the wall, silent.
The window of the apprentice's dormitory moved, and Wu Yun's head squeezed through a crack and came in like liquid: "I found the person you are looking for. He works as a coachman for the Liu family."
