Chapter 75 Unexpected Information (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

ten minutes later.

A large group of soldiers left the Black Iron City holding torches.

Ye Cheng sat on a tall horse, surrounded by many guards in black.

And Zhao Sihai was also escorted all the way.

Finally, the procession stopped by a river.

This is Qishui, which is a tributary of Weijiang River like Yanhe River.

Next to it is a rather high mountain, and the Black Iron City is located under this mountain.

"My lord, all the refined iron ore has sunk in the water. Some of the people who transported the refined iron ore have already been picked up by the boats of the Cao Gang, and some who have not had time to leave are hiding in the karst cave under the cliff."

Bai Yulang pointed to the steep cliff not far away. Since the river channel formed a bay here, the cliff wall was sunken inward.

Due to the location and the fact that it was night, it was impossible to see the situation over there.

Zhao Sihai's face turned pale immediately.

He couldn't figure out how the black-clothed guard found such a secret place?

"Get some ships over here."

Ye Cheng gave the order immediately.

In less than half an hour, the people below found some boats.

Ye Cheng took people into the boat and rowed down the cliff.

After reaching the bottom of the cliff, a huge karst cave was exposed.

"Let's go by."

With a wave of Ye Cheng's hand, the boat came close to the edge of the cave, and the black-clothed guards jumped up one by one, lighting torches, and fumbled inside.

Ye Cheng also went to the cave and checked the situation inside and outside the cave. There were traces of wheels that had been crushed everywhere, and it was obvious at a glance that it was crushed by a car loaded with heavy loads.

So he sent people into the water to check the bottom of the river.

Not long after, the black-clothed guard who had entered the water surfaced, with a refined iron ingot like a square brick in his hand.

"My lord, the bottom of the water is full of refined iron ingots."

The black-clothed guard said excitedly.

Zhao Sihai, who was escorted over, was already heartbroken, and he didn't have any luck.

"City Master Zhao, what else do you have to say?"

Ye Cheng held the wet heavy iron ingot and said to Zhao Sihai.

"Eunuch Ye, since you found out, Mr. Zhao has nothing to say. It is true that I am secretly reselling refined iron ingots for personal gain."

Zhao Sihai took a deep breath and pleaded guilty.

Ye Cheng chuckled.

Zhao Sihai is just a small fish.

The Longmen Zhao family behind them is the real big fish.

This Zhao Sihai obviously wanted to take all the blame on himself and separate the Longmen Zhao family from this matter.

The crime of privately selling refined iron ingots alone can't do anything to the Longmen Zhao family, at least it can't shake the foundation.

Only by digging deeper and finding out the black hands behind the gangster rebellion is the ultimate goal of his trip to the six southeastern states.

After a while, some guards in black came out of the cave.

"My lord, we encountered some resistance in the depths of the cave. We didn't catch any survivors. They all committed suicide by taking poison. Moreover, there were many corpses inside, which should have been killed. In addition, we found a path leading to the black iron A secret passage inside the city."

A black-clothed guard leader reported.

Ye Cheng took a look at Zhao Sihai and understood that these people who committed suicide or even silenced must be related to some key secrets.

"Lieutenant Song, lead someone to salvage all the refined iron ingots from the river."

Ye Cheng said to a general of the Liefeng Army who was wearing iron armor beside him.

This person is one of the school lieutenants who are most cooperative with Ye Cheng in the Liefeng Army, and told Ye Cheng a lot about the internal situation of the Liefeng Army.

"Yes, my lord."

Song Xiaowei immediately took the order.

He didn't have a prominent background, and he was born as a commoner. To become a captain of the first battalion was already the limit.

But this time he saw an opportunity to go further.

After returning to Black Iron City.

Ye Cheng asked Hei Yiwei to start interrogating Zhao Sihai's men severely.

Although some information has been obtained, the value is not particularly great.

At most, these people know some things about Black Iron City.

These people are not qualified to get in touch with the gangsters.

That Zhao Sihai's mouth was also very hard, and he couldn't pry out valuable information at all.

"I hope the Cao Gang can give me a little surprise."

Ye Cheng sat on the chair and muttered to himself.

Although he won the Black Iron City, he has mastered the mining of iron mines and the private sale of refined iron ingots.

But it hasn't touched the core of the gangster rebellion.

"There is also no trace of Zhao Xiangyun's Yunzi Seventh Battalion. If we want to find clues to the bandits, I'm afraid it will fall on this person."

Ye Cheng was thinking about it.

As far as he knows, Zhao Xiangyun is also a member of the Zhao family of Longmen, and his position in the Liefeng Army is so high that even Ma Yunlong can't command him.

Moreover, the Yunzi Seventh Battalion under its command has the largest number of people and the strongest strength in the Liefeng Army, and it is not usually stationed in the Liefeng Camp.

The next morning.

There was finally news from Muyu City.

The black-clothed guard flinched.

The people at the Cao Gang headquarters got the news in advance, and when the black guards arrived, they had all evacuated.

"Old Bai, it seems that there are still fish that slipped through the net."

Ye Cheng sighed and said.

Although he already had a hunch, he was still a little disappointed.

"Impossible, I intercepted all the pigeons?"

Bai Yulang frowned.

"It should be that other means of communication were used, and it was a deeper hidden inside line."

Ye Cheng shook his head.

The few insiders that Bai Yulang discovered before were all the leaders of the black-clothed guards in the six southeastern states.

He suspects that the military supervisor may have the other party's eyeliner passing intelligence information.

It has been more than a year since I took over the Black Clothes Guard, the military supervisor, and I thought it was almost cleaned up, but now it seems that it has been cleaned up.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Yecheng's investigation into the Ma Bandit Rebellion has come to a standstill.

Because all leads are broken.

The bandits who were active in the six southeastern states seemed to have disappeared.

Ye Cheng could only write a secret report on the investigation of Heitiecheng first, and send it to Yujing quickly through the information channel of the Black Guards.

On this day, Ye Cheng was carefully studying the intelligence gathered by the black guards from all over the six southeastern states.

During this period of time, less and less information was collected.

On the contrary, more and more black-clothed guard secret agents lost contact.

It seems that there is a mysterious force that is secretly hunting and killing the secret intelligence personnel of the Black Guards.

Ye Cheng felt more and more that he was trapped in a huge mouth that was gradually revealing its fangs.

Suddenly, Zhao Fang walked in.

"Mansion Master, Colonel Song has something important to report."

"Let him in."

Ye Cheng put down the information in his hand and said.

Soon, Xiaowei Song, who was dressed in military armor, hurried in.

"I will see the secret envoy at the end."

Lieutenant Song knelt down on one knee and saluted as a soldier.

"Captain Song, what's the matter?"

Ye Cheng asked.

"My lord, when a group of people under the last general's command were patrolling the river, they found a person lying by the water. He was seriously injured, but still alive. A special pattern was found on this person."

Captain Song said quickly.

"Take me to see."

Ye Cheng got up quickly.

There will be special patterns on the bodies of some spies of the black guards.

These patterns seem to have no special meaning, but they represent their identity as secret agents.

Each pattern has a dedicated record.

Moreover, these patterns will not appear normally, only when they take the initiative, lose consciousness and are on the verge of death, or die.

So, under the guidance of Captain Song, Ye Cheng came to a camp outside Heitie City.

Captain Song's battalion of soldiers was stationed outside Black Iron City.

Soon, Ye Cheng saw someone.

Comatose.

The pattern on his body is indeed the spy sign of the black guard.

"Can you wake it up?"

Ye Cheng asked Liefeng military doctor who was treating him.

"My lord, this person was seriously injured and soaked in the river for too long. He should have survived by using a secret technique such as turtle's breath. It would be very difficult to revive him, and he might die on the spot. The best way is to recuperate slowly, and finally wake up naturally, so that there is a chance of life."

said the medic.

"Slow treatment, how long will it take?"

Ye Cheng frowned slightly.

"My lord, conservatively estimate that it will take at least half a year."

said the medic.

Half a year is too long, Ye Cheng simply can't wait so long.

There must be a reason why this spy suddenly appeared around the Black Iron City and was still injured like this.

Perhaps valuable confidential information can be obtained from this person.

The evil spirit sword held by Ye Cheng trembled slightly, and an invisible wave spread out.

All the people present felt stares in their eyes, their scalps were numb, and they had severe auditory and visual hallucinations. Even an innate warrior like Bai Yulang could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Ye Cheng.

Not to mention doing it, it seemed that even the innate qi in his body couldn't be manipulated.

"It's getting easier for the Palace Master to activate the sword intent in this sword."

Bai Yulang was amazed in his heart.

This means that Ye Cheng is getting closer and closer to the threshold of comprehending martial arts and stepping into the threshold of a master.

Ye Cheng used the sword intent from the evil-disciplining sword as a cover, but in fact, he injected his own martial intent into the unconscious spy's mind, trying to stimulate the opponent's spirit, awaken the subconscious, and force the opponent to wake up.

At the same time, he touched the top of the man's head with his palm in the air, and a cloud of soft innate zhenqi gradually enveloped the man, using the innate zhenqi to temporarily stabilize the person's physical condition, so as to prevent the sudden awakening from triggering the insufficiency of the person's body. His injuries worsened and he died.

This requires great control.

After a while, the man suddenly opened his eyes and sat up directly from the bed with a look of horror on his face.

"You, you are"

This person gradually became confused when he saw his environment and the people he saw.

"This seat is the eunuch in charge of the military superintendent, His Majesty's secret envoy to patrol the sky. Which department of the black guard are you?"

Ye Cheng took out a token of the Sky Survey Emissary.

The man showed ecstasy, as if he couldn't feel the injury on his body, he quickly rolled from the bed to the ground, and knelt down.

"The humble job is Liao Liang, the wordless secret agent of the Shuitang of the Weizhou Film Department of the Black Clothes Guard. He has important information and reports it to the secret envoy."

The man said quickly.

"Say, what important information?"

Ye Cheng immediately asked.

"My lord, I was originally a soldier of Zhao Xiangyun, the commander of the Seventh Battalion of Yunzi. I accidentally discovered that Zhao Xiangyun had secretly contacted the gangsters. After investigating secretly, I finally found the lair of the gangsters. Unfortunately, my identity was negligently exposed and I was attacked. Zhao Xiangyun's men chased him down, and he was thrown into the water, fortunately, his humble job should not be terminated, so he had the opportunity to meet the secret envoy."

Liao Liang said quickly.

"Do you know where the gangster's lair is?"

Ye Cheng's eyes lit up, and he asked hastily.

"It's on Wuyan Ridge of Fengming Mountain. In addition, the Seventh Battalion of Yunzi also settled in Sushi Town a few days ago in the name of preventing the bandits from Guanglin County from harassing Yuming County, which is very close to Fengming Mountain. "

Liao Liang said.

But as he spoke, he suddenly coughed, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Ye Cheng sighed in his heart, knowing that this person's life is not long.

"Liao Liang, the information you gave is very useful. You have made great contributions. What is your last word? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Ye Cheng said.

Liao Liang also seemed to know his physical condition.

There was a blush on his face, he hesitated for a while and said, "I want to go home and see my parents, my wife and children."

But there was more and more blood in his mouth, and his breathing became more and more rapid, and finally he couldn't sit still, and he lay down again, his eyes were wide open, and his breathing had gradually stopped.

Ye Cheng gently stroked Liao Liang's eyelids, but his heart was heavy.

I don't know how many black-clothed spies like Liao Liang are.

They are unknown, and one day they die suddenly in a corner, and no one knows.

Perhaps for ordinary people, the simplest wish cannot be realized.

After becoming secret agents of the Black Guard, they are destined to be accompanied by darkness, loneliness and danger.

"Zhao Fang, save his body and send it back to his hometown, and arrange his funeral according to the meritorious process of the black guard."

Ye Cheng waved his hands.

"Yes, Palace Master."

Zhao Fang, who had been following Ye Cheng, said immediately.

Zhao Fang was originally the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, but after Ye Cheng took over the Black Clothes Guard, he arranged for Zhao Fang to join the Black Clothes Guard and take up an important position. This time he also came to Weizhou.

For this kind of confidential matter, Ye Cheng only trusts the people from the original Black Ice Terrace for the time being.
