Chapter 26 Intelligence

"Your Highness is wise, but what should I do? Please tell me clearly. Wang Yanzhong felt relieved.

Since the King of Yan had promised him, he believed that the King of Yan would not break his promise.

After a pause, he said: "I will keep these three people. In this way, the Huang family will think that their evil plan has succeeded. "

Wang Yanzhong nodded seriously.

"After that, I will give you some information. You give it to the Huang family, so that they will trust you more. Then you can find out where your wife and children are imprisoned. When you have the news, I will have a killer move waiting for him. "Zhao Xu sneered again and again.

People in Yan County said that the Zhang family, the Huang family and the Du family should not be touched.

This time he had to touch them and test their depth.

It's impossible for them to keep making moves and he always passively defends.

After all, sometimes offense is the best defense.

"I understand. "Wang Yanzhong finally smiled.

It must be said that the idea of ​​the King of Yan is very suitable for his current situation.

Being a two-faced person for the time being will not harm the interests of the palace.

It can also paralyze the Huang family and ensure the safety of his wife and children.

Let Wang Yanzhong go back with peace of mind.

Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi: "You go and bring all the servants here, I will be useful. "

From many recent events, he felt that the palace was particularly passive.

The biggest reason for being so passive is that he lacks intelligence channels in Yancheng.

He can't foresee some conspiracies that are secretly aimed at him.

He can escape the assassination and live to this day, thanks to the singer in Tianxiang Tower that day.

And who is that singer, what force, he currently does not know.

This makes him very unhappy.

It can be said that he is no different from a blind man in Yan County.

Therefore, he has long had the idea of ​​​​establishing his own secret intelligence agency.

In addition to investigating the wealthy families in Yan County, he believes that there will be many places where it can be used in troubled times.

"Yes, Your Highness. "Zhou Yi did not ask any more questions and turned to leave.

He was a qualified subordinate. If the King of Yan did not tell him, he could not ask.

Soon, Zhou Yi returned to the East Courtyard, followed by more than 300 ragged male and female slaves.

These slaves were all pale and thin, with protruding ribs on their chests. It was obvious that they were not full.

Zhao Xu sighed.

Even in contemporary society, mankind has only entered a civilized society in the past hundred years.

Before, every war and every invasion was a waste of human lives and countless corpses.

What's more, Dasong, where he was, was even further away from civilization.

In many wars here, massacres and looting were commonplace.

The soldiers of Dasong at the border would even kill civilians for military merits and claim military merits.

This also created many people whose families were broken and displaced. Some of them could not survive, so they sold themselves in order to survive.

In addition, there were people who were invaded by the nobles.

"Your Highness, they are all here. "Zhou Yi said.

Zhao Xu nodded, stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes scanning the faces of the crowd.

When they met his gaze, some people lowered their heads, while some boldly looked at him with curiosity.

Knowing that they were bought by the Prince of Yan's Mansion, they were slightly excited.

Although they were slaves, they knew what the wealthy families were like.

So, compared to being bought by the wealthy families, they would rather come to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

"The one in front of you is His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, don't salute!" Zhou Yi reminded.

The slaves crowded together and shouted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness."

"No need to salute." Zhao Xu waved his hand, "You are all miserable people. Being slaves today is not what you want. "

While speaking, Zhao Xu looked at everyone.

When he finished speaking, everyone showed sad eyes, as if they were reminded of bad memories.

Zhao Xu saw this and said, "But don't worry, this king is not a heartless person, and will not abuse you. In the palace, although you are slaves, you will enjoy a peaceful life."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The slaves were excited when they heard this.

They were flattered that the King of Yan could summon them in person.

Now that he made this promise, they were even more surprised.

Zhao Xu smiled and changed the subject, "But are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"

The slaves showed confused expressions again at this time.

"Now, there is an opportunity right in front of you, so that you can make achievements, honor the family, and get rid of the status of slaves. Who of you is willing to do it?" Zhao Xu continued.

Everyone was silent for a while.

A clear voice suddenly shouted, "I wonder what your highness is talking about? "

Through the crowd, Zhao Xu looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with sparkling eyes.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Risking a life and death, spying on the enemy. "

"I am willing!" The young man shouted again.

The young man's appearance seemed to arouse the courage of other young men, and then dozens of young men agreed.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied with this result.

Da Song still has passionate men.

But the intelligence system is very important, and he doesn't want to select people casually.

So he said: "Very good, but spying on the enemy requires great courage. Now, let me see if you have the courage. "

Turning to Zhou Yi, he said a few words.

Zhou Yi nodded, picked out the young men who signed up, and took them to an open space in the garden.

Not long after, several servants came over.

The servants held a charcoal basin with red charcoal in it.

They poured out the charcoal and paved a charcoal road of more than ten meters.

Zhao Xu pointed to the charcoal road and said, "Those who walk along this road will be selected."

The faces of the young and strong changed.

"Is this red-hot charcoal?"

"Yes, your feet will be burned if you walk over it?"

"Is this King Yan teasing us?"

"..."

Zhao Xu folded his hands and looked at everyone.

The future status of the intelligence system is crucial, and they will be the first batch of backbones, so they must be cautious.

"I'll do it!"

At this time, a young man in the back row shouted, the crowd dispersed, and a thin young man came out.

"Ke'er, don't be stubborn." A middle-aged man came out of the crowd with an anxious look on his face.

The young man looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Dad, we are hunters. We should hold bows and arrows in our hands, not brooms, and our eyes should be on prey, not dust on the ground."

The middle-aged man choked and opened his mouth, unable to say a word.

Because he personally gave it to his son.

Once, he believed in this sentence as firmly as his son.

But since he had a family, his passion was wiped out.

Now, he just wants himself and his son to be safe.

"Brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, I am willing to give it a try."

Zhao Xu just admired the courage of the young man at first.

Unexpectedly, there was a father and son.

After learning that they were hunters before, he was even more looking forward to it.

In order to chase prey, they must have the ability to hide.

"Okay." Zhao Xu showed admiration, "Run around the palace five times and come back, and just pass through it directly."

Others heard it and felt that Zhao Xu was deliberately making things difficult for them.

The palace is very big, and they are exhausted after running five laps.

At this time, if they go on the charcoal, wouldn't it be useless?

The father and son didn't say anything, they just raised their feet and ran.

There were a few brave people among the crowd, and they ran out.
