Chu Zhiyuan came to a restaurant next to the inn, Pingan Restaurant.

Of course the restaurants here cannot be compared with the restaurants in Yujing City.

Ping'an Restaurant only has two floors. Chu Zhiyuan walked directly through the lively first floor and arrived at the deserted second floor.

There are only five tables of guests on the second floor. They are businessmen coming and going. They all have a look of travel, and they talk about their experiences from various places. Most of them have good cultivation, and most of them are already innate third-level buildings. It is the state of acquired nature that submerges into innate nature.

After Chu Zhiyuan sat down, Zou Fang called the waiter to wipe the bumpy table again. First, he served two bottles of the best wine, two plates of snacks, and ordered a few signature dishes.

Chu Zhiyuan and Zou Fang sat at the same table.

Guo Chi and the four of them sat at another table.

Chu Zhiyuan held the wine glass and looked thoughtfully at the inn opposite.

The middle-aged man in front of the inn has an ordinary appearance. He has changed out of his armor and put on a brocade robe. He looks no different from the travelers hurriedly walking around. According to the super-sense hole, this middle-aged man is at the first level of the master. Standing there Not conspicuous in the crowd.

It was obvious that others did not know his cultivation level.

Otherwise, no matter how plain-looking a grandmaster is, people around him cannot treat him normally. There will always be some respect and inadvertent respect. This is people's instinctive attitude towards power.

Chu Zhiyuan speculated on his identity.

He must be a close subordinate of Li Haoyuan. Is he a guard or a counselor? It seems that he is a guard, but his behavior is more like a counselor. A secret counselor.

He possesses the cultivation of a master but hides it. Being an ordinary counselor, does he have great ambitions or does he have ulterior motives? Chu Zhiyuan discovered that outside the city of Yujing, the world became more complicated.

It seems like everyone you meet has a secret.

Unlike in Yujing, the entire palace was clearly illuminated by his cave, and there were no secrets. Chu Zhiyuan continued to think.

This middle-aged man came to find me to tell him the secret? Does he know his identity?

He whispered: "Let Liang Guanjie come over."

"Yes." Zou Fang nodded lightly.

He went out quietly, without showing his master's cultivation.

Liang Guanjie, who was hiding around, soon appeared in front of Chu Zhiyuan, solemnly clasping his fists and saluting.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

Liang Guanjie sat directly opposite Chu Zhiyuan without any courtesy.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't notice anything strange about the merchants around him. Even so, he still used voice transmission to enter the secret: "What is the identity of the middle-aged man?"

Liang Guanjie glanced out the window and saw the middle-aged man standing diagonally outside the inn, shaking his head in embarrassment.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Find it out quickly."

"Yes." Liang Guanjie hurriedly agreed, lowering his voice: "A brother has an acquaintance here, and we can figure it out soon."

"Is there anything unusual around the government office?"

"There is no master hanging around."

"To find out the details about Li Huchen, it's best to find out all the twenty-three.

"Yes." Liang Guanjie grinned and agreed.

Twenty-three people, this is not a small workload. I only have four subordinates. If I want to figure them out at once, I have to risk my life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get anxious and stood up and clasped his fists.

Chu Zhiyuan sent a message into the secret: "Be careful, this is not Yujing, don't fall into the gutter."

"Yes." Liang Guanjie nodded solemnly.

He strode out quickly.

This aroused the curiosity of the people at the tables, but they only glanced at it and continued their conversations.

While chatting, those people would glance over from time to time.

The clothes of Chu Zhiyuan and others were incompatible with this place, and one could tell at a glance that they were outsiders with an extraordinary aura, and that they were from the wealthy family.

People walking outside often avoid such people to avoid getting into trouble.

Chu Zhiyuan continued to stare at the middle-aged man.

As the signature dishes arrived, Zou Fang took a few bites first.

Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks.

Someone with super sense knows that there is nothing wrong with this dish, but it does not deprive Zou Fang of his responsibilities.

Zou Fang nodded slightly and put down her chopsticks.

Chu Zhiyuan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The dishes were not as exquisite as those in Yujing Restaurant, and the taste was strong and heavy. Chu Zhiyuan put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites.

His senses are sharper than ordinary people and he is also more sensitive to taste.

Zou Fang said softly: "Master, how about some other dishes?"

"Forget it." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Just make do with it."

He took a few sips of wine from the cup to numb his mouth and tongue, and continued eating. He ordered two more plates of snacks to fill his stomach. Even if he was a master, he still had to eat.

It wasn't until it got dark that the middle-aged man in front of the inn left in despair.

He obviously knew that he was being avoided and knew that Chu Zhiyuan would not see him. Chu Zhiyuan was sitting on the bed in a room at the inn.

The bed smells faintly, intoxicated by special spices.

This is a room that only officials of third rank or above are eligible to stay in.

Officials who come and go can only live in the inn, not in the yamen or other places. This is a rule. Chu Zhiyuan does not want to make any special arrangements and break the rules.

He absorbed the last piece of dragon-fat incense, and his meridians became stronger and stronger. He could break through at any time. But he had no intention of breaking through.

If someone interrupts you at a critical moment, you are going crazy. There is no need to be so hasty.

"Your Majesty, Liang Guanjie is back." "Come in."

Liang Guanjie soon appeared, entered the room and came to the bed, clasping his fists and saluting. Chu Zhiyuan said: "Zou Fang, move a chair for Lao Liang."

Zou Fang brought a chair and placed it in front of the bed.

Liang Guanjie chuckled twice, sat in the chair, and immediately became solemn: "Your Majesty, I have figured out the identities of these people." "Who are they?"

"Originally, they were all under General Li's account, including officers and civilian officials." "All the officers under General Li's account?"

"yes."

"Hey," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "this Commander-in-Chief of Zhenyuan is not an easy man." It is not an easy thing to win the hearts of all the officers under his command.

This shows that the imperial court's control over the border troops is very weak, and it also shows that General Li is very capable and good at managing people's minds. Liang Guanjie said: "The one who is most loyal to him is Li Huchen, the deputy general of Fuyuan Town.

.”

"He's General Li's deputy? He's also a very powerful person. He shouldn't be a reckless and straightforward person, right?"

"He is tough on the outside but subtle on the inside. He is brave and resourceful, and is very popular." Liang Guanjie said, "This Vice General Li is also a good soldier." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

People who behave rudely can get away with it in the army. They are ignorant and do not know how to plot against others. What people in the army hate most is plotting and they like to go straight.

If you can be both rough and fine, you will have a bright future in the military. This is obviously the case for Li Huchen. "Where are the others? Especially the one today."

"He is Zhou Chengen, the secretary under General Li's account... He is not well-known and has a low sense of presence. He usually remains anonymous." "Where are you from?"

"This is the old man next to Mr. Li. He has always been with him. He seems to be a distant relative of Mr. Li. He took him with him before he became rich." "Well..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "

The origin is mysterious."

Liang Guanjie grinned and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I really couldn't find out."
