Chapter 715 Suspended
Tan Bin came to Ruoshui for the first time, walked in the teleportation circle, and then continued to the southeast direction directly at the border where Ruoshui and the Xia River meet.
The matter was so urgent that two days ago Tan Bin was still busy at Kunduo Pass, but now he is in Jingdong and has to leave the country.
Tan Bin is no longer an ordinary spy. He is a gold medal agent, and he is also in charge of this operation. Not only do you need to complete a task, but you also need to use this operation as a warm-up to gain a firm foothold in that mysterious place outside the city called the City of the Dead as soon as possible.
Before this mission, Tan Bin didn't know that there was such a place in the world as the City of Undeserved Death. Just by the name, you know it's not a good place. Die in vain? Doesn't it mean to die unjustly? Or did he die when he shouldn't have?
In addition, the classified summary of the Situation of the Dead City was also the highest level that Tan Bin has come into contact with so far. After reading it, he immediately burned it, and he knew it well.
It is enough to treat the city of dead dead as a three-way zone in the monk world. Black, white and gray, there is a big pot of mishmash.
However, Tan Bin was not so uneasy in his heart. He had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and now this scene did not make him nervous. The other reason was that the people who came together this time were all ordinary people, and they were all experienced in the car dealership. , the possibility of revealing stuffing is extremely low. And after so many years, Tan Bin knows very well that the higher the level of cultivation, the more they look down on ordinary people like them.
Hehe, it's better to be inconspicuous, I just earned my merits from you self-righteous monks. Tan Bin always thinks this way in his heart.
Because before Tan Bin's arrival, Hengshun Carriage and Horse Company had already taken over the land business in the confluence of the Xia River and Ruoshui River. In addition to the staff transferred from the surrounding transfer stations, there were also some old people from the original Tianyi Company in the car and horse company. Hands, all these people are now assigned to Hengshun Chariots and Horses.
Tan Bin came here this time as the leader of the convoy, with sixty-seven carts under his command and hundreds of people. It took several days to get out of the southeast border of Jingjiu Dynasty.
Unlike the loose borders elsewhere, although there is no strong guard like the Kunduo pass here, there is not only one boundary stone.
There are three large water villages on the waterway, and there are three fortifications on the land, and there are strict inspections when entering and exiting.
Tan Bin is familiar with many things in the army after spending such a long time in the Kundalhuguan. All the way abroad, he found that the level of alert here is almost in the state of wartime, although the soldiers' faces are very serious. The calm, garrisonable strength, and compactness of the fortifications all indicate readiness for foreign surprise at all times.
And when Tan Bin was still passing the test, he spotted two monks with golden sword patterns on their waists with sharp eyes. Jin Jianwei?
After seeing Jin Jianwei, Tan Bin had no choice but to wake up to himself again. At the same time, he reminded the 30 spies who came with him this time through the special channel of the spies: after leaving the country, put your precautions at the highest level, and it is best to forget yourself at ordinary times. If you show off your identity, you can bite your collar and kill yourself.
Collar, four new methods of suicide designed for spies, the collar is highly poisonous, within ten breaths of mouth you will definitely die. I was researching dentures that hide poison before, but the risk is too high and it is easy to eat by mistake, so I can only give up temporarily.
There is also poison in Tan Bin's collar, which is colorless and odorless, and can only be washed off with a special potion. At the beginning, Tan Bin was very uncomfortable with this thing, and always felt panicked, but after he got used to it, he felt that this thing was very good, and being able to keep a secret at a critical moment would save people a lot of suffering.
Especially after seeing the set of torture methods in Xuanqingwei, Tan Bin and most of the spies felt that it would be better to die than to be tortured in a desperate place like Xuanqingwei.
Of course, so far the spies in the black water have not heard of any companion who needed to use poison to commit suicide because his identity was exposed. No one wants to be the first to test the drug.
It's just that Tan Bin felt that this trip to the City of Dead Dead might be different from the other missions he had experienced before.
After passing the checkpoint on land, you can see a tall city wall standing from a distance the next day. The main reason for being able to arrive so quickly is that the road conditions are very good. All the way from the checkpoint is a wide lane that can accommodate three large vehicles side by side. It is wider than most of the official roads in Jingjiu Dynasty, and it is very solid. Even if a heavy vehicle is on it, there will be no slightest indentation.
"what is that?!"
When they got closer, some restlessness began to appear in the team, as if they saw something extraordinary. Tan Bin frowned at the beginning and was about to scold, but immediately after he looked over, he opened his mouth wide and let out a trembling exclamation.
In Tan Bin's field of vision, he saw a huge building like a tower hovering over a hundred feet in the air above the big city in front of him. He didn't notice it just because there was a cloud in the sky that blocked it. Now that cloud It floated away a little before revealing the body of the tower inside.
How did that work? !
Turning his head to look at the former Tianyi veteran beside him, the other party smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, are you startled? That is the hanging tower, one of the magical places in the city of Wushi. I heard that there are treasures in it, but no one has entered yet. You have to go, you can still see those flying real people wandering around the side of the tower when you get closer."
The reason why Tan Bin is called Zhou Botou is because Tan Bin used the pseudonym "Zhou Zhuang" this time. Obviously, the guy who spoke had a kind of complacency after he succeeded in a prank, and looking at the old hands who came over from the Tianyi shop all around them were all laughing like this, it was probably a mentality of watching a novice joke.
Tan Bin didn't think it was disobedient, the scene in front of him was indeed beyond his cognition, even if he knew in advance that he would still be as surprised as before when he saw the real thing.
Although it is far away, the tower suspended in the clouds must be huge, so how did it float in the air? When the wind comes, why not be blown away? What treasures are hidden inside? As a secret agent, Tan Bin's curiosity is very heavy, especially for things that he can't understand.
Approaching the city wall, Tan Bin felt a little horrified again, because the height and span of the city wall could not be seen from the left to the right. It is probably not smaller than the imperial city of the old Jing Dynasty, right?
I thought there would be a strict inspection when entering the city, but it turned out that there was no such thing as a city entry tax. The guards on the city wall simply checked the list of goods and the number of people on the car and let them go.
Aren't the people here afraid of some bad guys coming in? Tan Bin thought so. But then I remembered that this is the city of death in vain, even cultivators from the evil sect can walk around the streets majesticly here, what kind of bad guys are not allowed to enter?
Turning his head again, the old hands of the Tianyi firm who had been in a relaxed state before were all shrinking their necks, like sheep in a pack of wolves, trembling and looking very scared.
