Chapter 25
In the backyard of Dongsheng Inn, the bright moonlight shone on the ground, making everything look a little white, and it looks quite hazy. But Wang Jinbao, who was hiding in the inn lobby, had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, because he was in a mess at this time.
Out of fear of death, Wang Jinbao has always been cautious. Many times, even if he is likely to obtain some very important information, he will choose to give up because he needs to take a lot of risks, focusing on protecting his own safety and identity.
So, after hearing someone climbed over the wall and entered the inn, he quickly hid in the lobby. However, as time passed, he gradually calmed down in his heart, but he began to hesitate. He didn't know whether he should continue to protect himself as before, or should he take some risks, secretly approach Li Dali's room and eavesdrop on the secret conversation between the Jinyiwei and Li Dali who secretly sneaked into the inn in the middle of the night.
If it were in the past, he would naturally not have hesitation and would stay in the inn lobby until the other party left and Li Dali fell asleep again, and then quietly returned to his room, pretending that he had never known about this.
But when the matter involved the mortal enemy Jinyiwei, Wang Jinbao was a little moved.
Life in the town is very peaceful and leisurely. Although he has to be busy every day and still serves the animals, he has become accustomed to it after so many years.
But getting used to it is one thing, but whether you want to stay like this is another thing.
A few years ago, he made a mistake and offended Shangguan, so he was sent to such a remote town that seemed to never happen, to lurk secretly and become a spy.
At that time, he had already accepted his fate and would only live by himself when doing things, with the principle of ensuring his own safety, because he knew in his heart that no matter how serious he was, in such a small place where birds do not poop or chickens do not lay eggs, it would not be possible to make enough contributions to let him leave here and return to the capital.
But since he relied on his understanding of the Jinyiwei and smelled the smell of the "peers" in the Yuelai Inn opposite, his thoughts began to change slowly.
As someone who has been in the capital, Wang Jinbao is very aware of the bullshit things between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei where he is. Therefore, he is also very clear that as long as he can make a profit from this group of "peers", no matter how Shangguan, who had offended him, he would have to pinch his nose and admit his contributions, thus causing him to escape from this remote town.
At that time, even if you can't return to the capital and be transferred to the prosperous Jiangnan, it will undoubtedly be excellent.
His vision was excellent, and the performance of the group of Jinyiwei on the opposite side gave him more confidence in his vision.
Originally, the Jinyiwei, an elite force, secretly mobilized so much manpower and material resources. It was already very abnormal to run to such a small town to build an inn as a stronghold. Now, when he just gained a foothold, he began to secretly investigate the surrounding situation and eliminate possible threats around him, which undoubtedly shows that these Jinyiweiwei are planning a major event.
Judging from the fact that he had not received any news about this matter from the East Factory, Wang Jinbao was sure that the East Factory was afraid that he would not know the matter planned by the Jinyiwei and the series of big moves. Therefore, as long as he waited until tomorrow and asked him to send the news about this matter back through the East Factory channel, he would immediately make great contributions.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinbao couldn't help but curse the Shangguan who sent him here in his heart, cursing the guys in the East Factory who were looking down on others, which made him have such important information that it would take half a year to send it out.
In fact, Wang Jinbao knew very well that Dongchang’s approach was actually right. After all, there was any important news in such a remote town. If this really happened, it would be a big tenfold increase, and the staff would not be able to meet the requirements. Once every six months, it is very reasonable.
But no matter how clear he was, Wang Jinbao's curse had never stopped. He had to use such curse to vent his tension, and at the same time give himself a motivation, a motivation to let go of the creed that he had been persisting for several years, willing to take risks, and quietly approach Li Dali's room to eavesdrop.
He has been in this small town where birds do not shit. Although the news he has collected can almost make him leave here, he does not want to give up the opportunity to go further. Although the prosperous land in Jiangnan is very good, if possible, who would not want to stay in the center of power, the capital?
As long as he can not attract the attention of Li Dali and the Jinyiwei and touch Li Dali's house, he may be able to overheard many suspicious things explaining Li Dali's incident, and even further reveal Li Dali's identity and reveal why the Jinyiwei came to this town.
Wang Jinbao's intuition told himself that as long as he can really solve these two problems, he will definitely make great contributions immediately and even gain the attention and favor of the factory. As long as he gets favor from the factory, the stub that has been pressing on his head is a big deal. At that time, it is time to take revenge on the other party.
So, Wang Jinbao, who was eager for a longing, and other emotions in his heart, finally took the first step bravely. Although his long-term habits made his feet tremble for a while before landing, he immediately returned to normal by several emotions in his heart. Just as he left his room before, his body was light-luck, and he slowly and silently approached Li Dali's room.
The lobby of the inn is not far from Li Dali's house. Although he walked very slowly, Wang Jinbao still came outside Li Dali's house quickly. After careful observation, he raised his ears.
But just like the quiet moonlit night, Li Dali's house was also very quiet, and there was no low voice of conversation that was lowering his throat as Wang Jinbao guessed.
"Am I wrongly guessing that the man is not the Jinyiwei, and he is not here to find Li Dali?" Wang Jinbao frowned and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, "But in the inn, except for Li Dali and me, there is only the slippery little beggar Bai Shier. Could it be that he is here to find him?" Wang Jinbao felt a little absurd, shook his head gently, and denied his guess.
Although there are many strange things in Bai Shier's daily performance, after staying in Dongchang for several years and coming to this town for several years, Wang Jinbao knew the reason very well about the strange things of young people like Bai Shier - but he was just a little baby who was ruined by various stories. In addition to his previous identity as a beggar, it was undoubtedly normal for him to have excessive curiosity about the so-called world.
"But if it weren't for Bai Shier or Li Dali, who else would it be?" Wang Jinbao, who had cleared his thoughts again, couldn't help but start thinking in his heart, and his ears were even more pointed. He hoped that he had just fallen into silence because the other party just finished a conversation.
However, except for the various sounds from the livestock from time to time, he heard nothing in his ears, which made Wang Jinbao a little anxious, and at the same time he felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Not good!" Suddenly, Wang Jinbao, who finally noticed something was wrong, was startled and exclaimed in his heart, and immediately wanted to make a move and pounced in the direction of his room.
But unfortunately, he realized it was too late.
A steel knife suddenly appeared in Wang Jinbao's eyes. Under the moonlight like water, the steel knife reflected a ray of light as if it was in the sun.
Although the light is not dazzling, the steel knife that hits the light is deadly.
Wang Jinbao, who had already rushed out with all his strength, was about to have an intimate contact with the oncoming steel knife. In a hurry, he quickly supported himself with both hands, barely stopped, and twisted his body with his inertia, and kicked the steel knife that seemed to have wanted to take his life. When the steel knife was about to cut him, he kicked the blade a little bit away, and then drifted over his body, and slashed to the ground.
"Good body technique." The steel knife in his hand fell to nothing, and Li Dali's face was not much annoyed. He took the opportunity to pull a knife flower and stood calmly. He watched Wang Jinbao, who had just experienced the terror between life and death, gasping violently there, and praised him in a good mood.
"Ha, Li Dali, your swordsmanship is much better than your cooking skills." Looking at Li Dali standing in front of him calmly, Wang Jinbao's heart sank, and replied with a smile without a smile, but his eyes and ears were used to the extreme, trying to find out where the Jinyiwei who had sneaked into the inn was located, so as to prevent the other party from attacking anytime and anywhere.
"Actually, I thought it would be that stupid boy Bai Shier, but I didn't expect that you would be the one who came in the end." Looking at Wang Jinbao who was a little unfamiliar in front of me, Li Dali couldn't help but sigh, "You are hiding so deeply. If this bait wasn't for the tempting enough today, I'm afraid you would have kept hiding it."
"Is this what you designed on purpose?!" Wang Jinbao's pupils shrank, his tone was filled with deep fear, "You knew someone would come."
"Of course not," Li Dali waved his hand, "You think so smartly, how could I count this? But," Li Dali grinned, the smile on his face looked very ungrateful, "It's always good to try it, right?"
"Indeed, I'm too impulsive," Wang Jinbao looked a little depressed, "I should have thought of it long ago."
"Okay, no matter how much you regret it, it's too late. Let's talk about some useful things." Li Dali casually carried the knife on his shoulder, and looked at Wang Jinbao with a slightly proud look with his eyes, as if he was looking at the wealth obtained from the sword.
"What do you want to know?" Wang Jinbao asked in a low voice as if he had really accepted his fate.
"Your identity, your purpose." Li Dali's answer was very concise.
"My identity is the captain of the Jinyiwei. He was ordered several years ago to secretly lurk here to monitor everything in the town." Wang Jinbao, who "accepted his fate", said that there was completely false news from his mouth. When he said that none of these words were true, his eyes stared at Li Dali's face, intending to see some clues from the other party's expression.
"Entertainment Uniform Guard?" Li Dali frowned slightly, with a very dissatisfied expression. While saying, he put the steel knife that was originally carried on his shoulder in front of him, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes. "How could the Entertainment Uniform Guard run to such a remote town and lurk? What is there to monitor in this town? Ha, do you think that I will not kill you after we have worked together for a few years?"
Observing Li Dali's expression, Wang Jinbao felt a little confused. He couldn't tell whether the expression on the other person's face was real or was just acting simply.
"You don't know that I offended Baihu before, but I didn't die, so I was sent to this remote town by him." Although I was a little difficult to judge for the time being, this did not prevent Wang Jinbao from continuing to perform.
"Hmph, what is the surname of the hundred households?" Li Dali snorted contemptuously, his face full of distrust.
"Ha, even if I tell you, how do you know whether it is true or false?" Wang Jinbao chuckled, "Or, do you have the ability to go to the Jinyiwei to verify the authenticity?"
"Babababababa." Li Dali didn't speak, but a business of applause suddenly came from behind Li Dali. Then, Lu Xiao rang out with a disdainful voice, "It's really worthy of being the Dongchang man. Even in this situation, he still has the leisure to test us."
Looking at Lu Xiao flashing out from behind Li Dali, Wang Jinbao's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Lu Xiao and Li Dali opposite each other, but he couldn't help but show a trace of regret in his eyes.
Before, he was wondering where the Jinyiwei who had sneaked into the inn was ambushed, so even though he kept playing maneuvers with Li Dali, he never relaxed his vigilance and was wary of the other party's sneak attack.
But he didn't expect that the other party did not ambush at all, but secretly went to his room to search for all useful things about his identity. Li Dali's previous performance was just to hold him back. If he could think of this earlier and then escape without any effort, he would be 70% sure that he could escape safely.
But now, the other party has found what he needs and returns safely, and if he wants to escape, the chance will be very small.
"You and I are both doing things for the emperor. Do you really want to make a life-and-death scene?" Since his identity has been exposed, Wang Jinbao didn't want to be silly anymore, but he couldn't help but want to give it a try in the last glimmer of hope.
"Haha, it is precisely because you and I are both doing things for the emperor," Lu Xiao drew his sword in his hand and rushed towards Wang Jinbao in an instant. It was not until his body burst out that the last few words in his mouth reached Wang Jinbao's ears.
