Chapter 439 Spy

late at night.

In Wenshui County, the county lord's mansion, in the tea storage room.

A small servant in a white robe came in with a tea set and tray.

The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. After he came in, he first put the plate on the table next to him, and then walked among the shelves, yawning, fighting back his sleepiness, looking for the target tea in the shelf. .

"And also, and also."

Suddenly, a woman's whisper came from outside the door.

The boy followed the prestige immediately.

Outside the door of the tea storage room, a young woman also wearing a standard white robe was leaning on the threshold, smiling at him.

"Na, Miss Nao."

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands a little uneasily, his eyes dodged, and he seemed a little nervous.

"How many times have you said it, just call me Nao."

The young woman walked in with a smile, moved closer to the boy as she spoke, and winked at him with a smile.

From so close, the boy could even clearly smell the faint scent of the other person's body, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing this scene, the young woman named Kojima Nao smiled even more charmingly.

"What are you doing here?"

Kojima Nao leaned back against the tea rack, and without making a fuss, she moved closer to the boy again, exhaling like orchids while speaking, which made the boy's earlobe feel a little moist.

"Take, take the tea."

The boy lowered his head, blushing even more.

"Take tea?"

Kojima Nao's eyes flashed a little bit, and then asked softly: "It's so late, what kind of tea are you taking? If I remember correctly, the tea in this storage room is the best in the county lord's mansion." Goods, right? Once these tea leaves are taken out, without the protection of the formation, the quality will soon decline."

"Ah."

The boy nodded and said in a low voice, "So the tea here is ready-to-use. After taking it out, it must be brewed immediately."

"Oh?"

Kojima Nao showed surprise, "But it's so late now, who is it for? The tea here can only be used by the county lord. She wants to drink tea at such a late hour? Something is wrong, she never drinks tea late at night Habit."

"Should... be entertaining people?"

Hearing this, the boy raised his head to look at her, and said hesitantly: "My lord just said, let me make the tea quickly and take it to the reception room of Tianzihao. How many whips do I have?"

"It's that bad-tempered old man again!"

Kojima Nao suddenly became angry, and grabbed the boy's right hand and lifted his sleeve, "Let my sister see if the whip marks from the old man's beating on you a few days ago are still there."

"..."

The boy was slightly taken aback, looking at Kojima Nao's serious eyes and delicate and pretty face, he was speechless for a long time.

"If I remember correctly, you have been working day and night these days, right? You only sleep four or five hours a day."

Nao Kojima put down the boy's sleeves, then raised his hand again, caressing his face, gently stroking his dark circles with his thumb, pretending to be distressed: "Look, how sleepy are you? That bad boy The old man also asked you to make tea for the county master."

"!"

Being so imitated by Kojima Nao, the cool touch of the woman's fingers made the boy feel a little uncontrollable, and his face turned redder.

"How about I help you go?"

Kojima Nao looked at the boy, exhaled like blue, and said softly.

At the same time, she stretched out her hand to stroke her long hair, then leaned over slightly, the unbuttoned collar suddenly drooped, and the looming gully completely made the boy fall, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"This this……"

The boy spoke incoherently, "I, that, the county chief, I want to make tea, I..."

"Didn't you teach me how to make tea?"

Kojima Nao smiled, "I'm fine, you go to bed quickly, I'll help the county magistrate make tea."

"This……"

The boy seemed a little hesitant.

"Kazuya, my sister loves you very much."

However, Kojima Nao suddenly stretched out her hands, hugged the boy in her arms, reached out and pressed the boy's head, buried his face directly on her chest, and said softly while touching his head:
"You haven't had much rest for several days, hurry up and go to sleep now, and help the county head make tea or something, I'll help you... eh? What?"

"It's a tea caddy!"

The boy hurriedly took a box of blue cylindrical tea canisters from the tea stand next to him and handed it to Kojima Nao, then covered his crotch with both hands, and ran out of the door in a panic.

After running out, he leaned on the door frame, hid his lower body outside the door, only leaned out his upper body, blushing and said to Kojima Nao, "Then, I'll leave it to you, Miss Nao!"

"Kazuya, you are not very old, but the tea pot is very big."

However, Kojima Nao smiled playfully, and made a false hand gesture with her right hand.

"Um?!"

Completely ashamed, the boy turned and ran.

"..."

After he left, the charming smile on Kojima Nao's face completely disappeared, replaced by indifference, and...the thought in her eyes.

She looked down at the tea pot in her hand, her brows furrowed.

In the middle of the night, who is the new county lord going to entertain?

Must see.

Thinking of this, Kojima Nao hurriedly opened the lid of the cyan tea pot, took out a pack of tea leaves, and then put the lid on the tea pot and put it in its original position.

She took the pack of tea leaves and walked to the table, and after boiling water with the tea set on the table to make tea, she left the tea storage room with the tea set tray.

Kojima Nao walked in the dead of night in the county lord's mansion until she reached the top floor of an attic.

In front is the Tianzihao reception room in the county lord's mansion.

And now outside the gate of this luxurious reception room, there are two big men in black armor standing.

Ok?
Kojima Nao frowned when she saw this scene in the corridor.

Why are these two people?

This is the four-element-level guard in the county lord's mansion.

Who is the county lord receiving, and he wants this highest-level guard to come over to show respect?
"Kojima Nao?"

At this time, seeing Kojima Nao coming over with a tea set, a strong man in black armor couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is it you? Shouldn't Matsushima Kazuya be the one who makes the tea?"

"Master Fujimoto, can't I do it?"

Nao Kojima walked in and gave him a wink.

"you……"

The black-armored man obviously wanted to say something, but he glanced at the door of the reception room behind him, and still closed his mouth that wanted to make fun of it, just stretched out his hand, and slapped Nao Kojima under the collar. Take a pinch.

Kojima Nao cooperated very well, not only did not resist, but also made a corresponding intoxicated expression.

This scene immediately made another young guard in black armor feel a little itchy. He smiled and raised his hand, "I..."

"My lord, the tea servant is here."

However, before the young man touched it, the black armored man turned around and shouted at the gate.

"..."

The young man in black armor was speechless.

The black armored man smiled slyly.

"Let her in."

Takeda Yoshiko's voice came from the door of the reception room.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the strong man in black armor quickly suppressed his smile, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and then winked at Nao Kojima.

Nao Kojima, on the other hand, lowered her head and slowly walked into it with a tea set.

It was late at night, but the reception room of this Tianzi shop was still brightly lit.

Nao Kojima was walking in the aisle, and two figures could be seen sitting at the round table at the end.

The two figures were sitting opposite each other.

Facing her was Ryoko Takeda.

And the back facing her was a figure in white clothes, obviously the figure of a man.

But this back, why does it look so similar...

It doesn't make sense, didn't that person leave Wenshui County a long time ago?
With curiosity and doubts, Kojima Nao walked slowly to the round table, lowered her head towards the tea set on the table, and glanced at the man quietly.

But I can't see it at all.

The other party's face was covered with a layer of gray mist, which could not be seen clearly at all.

Kojima Nao was not surprised by this.

Since the tea waiter can be allowed to come in, it must mean that the other party has a way to conceal his identity.

"You can go out."

Takeda Yoshiko looked at the tea set on the table and said coldly.

"Yes, my lord."

Kojima Nao lowered her head, hugged the silver tray, turned and left.

Walking out of the reception room, Nao Kojima walked towards her dormitory after being mobbed by the two Sixiang-level guards as expected.

On the way, she kept recalling the back of the man in white.

so similar.

So much like the young head of the Beicun family back then!

……

……

Tianzihao reception room.

"Guanqi, are you sure that woman is a spy of the local family?"

Ryoko Takeda looked at the man in white who was sitting across from her, whose face was shrouded in a gray mist, and asked in amazement through soul transmission: "What if the other party is not? Then the news won't get out at all?"

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

After a pause, he sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether the female tea attendant who came in is a spy or not. It must have been discovered by other spies in the County Lord's Mansion.

Even if no one else came in, the spies would definitely find out about it.

This is what they eat.

The major families must have begun to deploy people near the county lord's mansion at this time, ready to investigate.

Then, I will go out for a walk later and let them find out that I am 'North Village Lei'.

After this step is completed, our first step is considered to be more than half successful.

And, Ryoko, in your situation, I have reason to suspect that out of the 10 people in your county lord's mansion, 3 must be spies planted by various local families... As for the female tea waiter, I'll tell you later There will be results. "

After finishing speaking, Li Guanqi raised his hand and gently stroked a headband on his forehead.

This thing is a fifth-order magic weapon, which can release mist to cover the face without affecting the user's own sight.

This was secretly taken out by Takeda Ryoko from the treasury of the county lord's mansion, and it was a commodity in circulation on the market, so there was no need to worry about being recognized as something from the county lord's mansion, after all, there were all of them on the market.

And his current state, naturally, is to use the transfiguration technique to transform into Kitamura Lei's figure and appearance.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

Beside Li Guanqi, a western woman with blond hair and golden eyes appeared in an instant - Sophia.

"Owner."

She looked at Li Guanqi, and said through voice transmission from her soul: "The female tea waiter, I speculate, should be a family spy who roams the county lord's mansion relying on her beauty and body.

The person who came here to deliver tea earlier should have been another male servant.

But in the tea storage room, this female tea waiter deliberately teased the little boy, and after some flirting, she managed to let herself take over the other's job and come here to deliver tea for you.

Then, just after she left, she rubbed her left arm vigorously on the road, and then the whole left arm began to turn black, so she wrote on it with her nails.

Judging from the strokes, what she wrote should be...

——There was a man who concealed his face, talking with Ryoko Takeda in the reception room of Tianzihao late at night. I think his back is very similar to Beicun Lei, the young head of Beicun who left Wenshui County 2 years ago.

——Suggestion, send someone to squat near the county lord's mansion, and when this person comes out, use a magic weapon to check his true face.

Then the tea maid went back to the dormitory to sleep. "

Speaking of this, Sophia seemed very puzzled, "Master, what kind of message is that? I have never heard of it."

"It should be the blood carving technique."

Li Guanqi thought for a while, and said: "Among the three-level spells, there is such a spell that allows a magician to have a physical connection with an ordinary person.

Ordinary people only need to rub hard on the body where the rune is carved to generate heat, and the rune will be activated and turn into a black piece on the body surface.

At the same time, on the Conjurer's side, his same position will also appear black.

This is similar to WordPad.

At this time, the ordinary person on the opposite side only needs to draw a stroke on the black skin, and the skin on the conjurer's side will also manifest the corresponding blood-colored handwriting.

In this way, the message transmission effect can be achieved. "

After Li Guanqi finished speaking, he nodded slightly, "It should be this spell."

For this blood-carved manifestation technique, since the black skin where the writing is written is only a small area, the handwriting will inevitably overlap one by one at the end, but for conjurers, this is not a problem, they can easily analyze each a font.

"It seems that the female tea waiter just now is a spy."

Li Guanqi looked at Takeda Yoshiko on the opposite side, and his soul said: "Although I don't know which family it is from, it doesn't matter. I will go out for a walk later, and let the spies of the major families use magic tools to see through my cover-up." The mist magic weapon of the face found out that I was 'Beimun Lei', our first step was half the battle."

"Are you sure your disguise will not be discovered?"

Takeda Ryoko hesitated slightly.

Because Li Guanqi didn't tell her how he disguised himself.

In Takeda Ryoko's view, Li Guanqi simply "walked into a room, and then turned into Kitamura Lei when he came out".

"Do not worry."

Li Guanqi was very calm, "We will never be discovered."

His transfiguration technique has never been seen through until now, and he has enough confidence.

It would be a good thing if it was really seen through.

At least at such a small price, he figured out the conditions for his transfiguration technique to be seen through.

"Um……"

Takeda Ryoko nodded in a complicated mood, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked curiously: "Guanqi, what will Patriarch Kitamura think after this news gets out?"

"Ask this for what?"

Li Guanqi was a little puzzled, "No matter what Patriarch Beicun thinks, it will not affect our plan. Didn't I say that? No matter what he does to clarify, once doubt arises, it will be difficult for everyone to trust the Beicun family."

"I'm just curious."

Takeda Yoshiko said seriously: "I want to exercise my ability to distinguish information. I have read the information of the Kitamura family, and I have an opinion on this matter. I want to know what you think, and then see if I think it is right. .”

"what?"

Li Guanqi was taken aback.

But looking at Takeda Yoshiko with a serious face, Li Guanqi nodded and said calmly: "At this juncture, the son of Patriarch Kitamura who hasn't come home for two years suddenly met and talked with Takeda Yoshiko in private, Ryoko, what would you do?" Patriarch Beicun, what else do you think?"

"Suspect."

Takeda Ryoko said seriously: "It must be suspected first, that the son who appeared in the county lord's mansion is a fake."

"Um."

Li Guanqi nodded, "And then?"

"Not sure."

Takeda Yoshiko showed distress, "That's why I want to ask your opinion."

"And then there's the assumptions."

Li Guanqi didn't hold back, and directly expressed his opinion: "If you want me to say, once this matter gets out, the Patriarch of Beicun will immediately send people to investigate whether it is true or not after a brief questioning. The son of Kitamura Lei, is it really Kitamura Lei?

at the same time.

Patriarch Beicun will quickly substitute a hypothetical situation - directly assume that this matter is true.

Then he began to guess, his son came back to Wenshui County secretly at this time, and met with Wutian county magistrate privately, whether he wanted to cooperate with the county magistrate, get him down, and then seek power!
If so, how should he respond?
Don't think this is impossible.

Many big families are like this, power is more important than family affection.

According to intelligence, the Kitamura family is such a family.

The Beicun family is not an ordinary family, but a wealthy local family in Wenshui County with the most entangled interests.

The rich and famous families have the most chaotic relationship.

The Patriarch of Beicun has as many as 39 sons, and there is almost no family relationship between them and between brothers.

And most importantly, 2 years ago, the young head of the Beicun family ran away from home because of a disagreement with the head of the Beicun family on a family matter and left after a big fight.

It was also that disagreement that made Patriarch Beicun understand that he still had a long lifespan, and there was no need to establish a young Patriarch so early to divide his rights.

then.

After the Young Patriarch left home, the Beicun Patriarch did not appoint a new Young Patriarch for a long time, and completely held all the authority in the family firmly in his own hands. "

Li Guanqi stretched out his right index finger, looked at Takeda Ryoko and said with a light smile: "With the situation of the Beicun family, if the head of the Beicun family knows that Lei Beicun suddenly appeared in the county lord's mansion to have a private meeting with you, the county lord, then he is most worried. There is only one thing.

——My son, did he come back secretly and want to get rid of me by the hand of the county magistrate?And then replace it? "
