C2 Spy
The next morning, the old man brought Tian Zhongchen to a market place and handed him over to a 20-30 year old young man. Tian Zhongchen saw that this young man had a sturdy physique, an ordinary appearance, a wretched appearance, and an appearance like a servant. He looked at the young man and the young man looked at him. They nodded and respectfully said to the old man: "His appearance is handsome and his eyes are sharp. It would be great if he could read." This man may be vulgar in appearance, but his speech is not vulgar at all. He even has the elegance of a scholar.
The old man said coldly, "When he came, this old man taught him a bit. Although he doesn't know many words, it's enough to deal with ordinary things."
The young man bowed and said: "In that case, I will lead him there." Seeing the old man nod without saying anything, he pulled Tian Zhongchen's small hand and turned around to leave.
As expected of a spy! The efficiency of their conversation made Tian Zhongchen sigh.
As the young man left the town, he arrived at the south side of the city. Separated by a green field, he saw a manor in the middle of a forest. The young man pointed at the manor and said solemnly: "Lin Family is a prestigious clan within the Great Kang, the current Patriarch Lin Yefeng holds an important position within the imperial court. This time, he brought his wife and children over to the Lin Family Ancestral House, with a special purpose." As he said that, he looked at Tian Zhongchen and suddenly felt a strong sense of self-blame. Talking about this with a child in his teens, he felt that his brain had aged. After a short pause, he concluded, "I will arrange for you to become the errand boy for the Lin Family's young master, Lin Yuxian. You must try your best to obtain Lin Yuxian's trust in you in the shortest amount of time possible. After that, I'll tell you what to do. "Remember, in the Lin Clan, I am your cousin."
Tian Zhongchen nodded and asked, "In order to complete the mission better, I would like to know what Lin Yuxian's hobby is? What did he hate the most? His personality traits, his age, his relationship with the people around him, and "the spy in the movie" had to understand this information before he could do anything.
Hearing that, his cousin immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "Stop! As an alternate member of the Tanhua Society, I will take care of all of these myself. " Even though he said so, he knew that he could not answer these questions. "This mission is just a simple one. The organization doesn't provide much information, and it seems to only have the connections of the people inside." "It is rather simple and crude." Of course, he couldn't say those words out loud. He didn't do it for the sake of his face, but to protect the organization's image.
When Tian Zhongchen heard this, he could only solve it himself. Although he was unwilling, he could not help himself and said shamelessly, "I think so too, if you have money to buy, everyone can do it, but if you don't have money, you can get something to make you different. In our Tanhua Society, we are not ordinary people, so we naturally have to display our true abilities wherever we are. " While he was flattering her, he was actually thinking about the Tanhua Society that his cousin had revealed. According to the name, this organization was quite strange.
Hearing this, the cousin looked at Tian Zhongchen in surprise again and frowned: "Are you really a child?"
Tian Zhongchen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a child, could it be that the thousand-year-old demon transformed?"
Hearing this, his cousin was shocked. He looked at Tian Zhongchen again and said in a low voice, "Don't say such blasphemous words again."
Tian Zhongchen was also stunned. He could tell that this cousin of his was a goblin superstitious person. As the heavens had forgotten to arrange for him to pass through the hall of the underworld during his transmigration, he was unconvinced of the existence of ghosts and gods. However, this matter involved a person's faith, so he did not plan to discuss it with his cousin too much.
The two of them arrived at the manor and pushed open the red lacquer door. Before they even entered the manor, they saw a middle-aged woman with a stout appearance, who was trembling as she rushed over. From afar, she called out to her cousin, "Ah Fu, has that errand boy of yours arrived yet?"
The cousin pushed Tian Zhongchen forward and introduced him respectfully, "Sister Wang, this is the errand boy, his name is Quan'er, he is a distant cousin of mine, he is the most suitable to be Young Master's errand boy."
Tian Zhongchen saw that he was being submissive and his tone was full of flattery. It was difficult to relate him to the caution before they went into the house. He sighed and thought to himself, "The spies are all professional actors."
The woman walked forward slowly and said, "Since you're here, come with me." As she said that, she walked over, grabbed Tian Zhongchen's small hand, and pulled him away.
Tian Zhongchen was helpless and had no choice but to keep up. After a few steps, he heard his cousin say from behind, "Sister Wang, please take care of Quan'er."
"I know," replied Aunt Wang without turning her head. When she said that, her footsteps became faster. Tian Zhongchen picked up his legs and ran, only then could he barely keep up with her.
As he ran, Tian Zhongchen scanned the surroundings with his eyes. He saw a sparse forest, a fake mountain and pond, perfectly decorated the manor. Thus, he knew that this was a rich family.
After passing through a long corridor, they finally arrived at the door of a hall. Aunt Wang's swift footsteps finally stopped. She tried her best to calm her shortness of breath. She lowered her body and reminded Tian Zhongchen, "When you see the old master later, you have to be more careful. The old master likes honest children, so you must not speak carelessly."
Tian Zhongchen nodded seriously. This request was simple, he could easily do it.
Aunt Wang was very satisfied with his good behavior. She gave him a appreciative look, then her expression suddenly changed. "Do you know how to speak?" She suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard Tian Zhongchen speak.
Tian Zhongchen nodded and continued to act honestly.
Aunt Wang was worried. She lowered her head and said with worry, "Say something for me to hear."
Tian Zhongchen nodded seriously and whispered, "One sentence."
Hearing that, Aunt Wang was surprised, but she immediately chuckled and said: "I asked you to say something, but you actually said something, hehe." "It's good that you know how to talk. Be more honest when you go in, understand?" Her tone was softer.
Nodding.
Aunt Wang was satisfied, she pulled his small hand and came to the door. She stood by the side and respectfully said, "Master, the errand boy has come."
A gentle voice came from inside, "Come in."
Aunt Wang pulled Tian Zhongchen to the door and stepped over the high threshold. This person was wearing a long green gown and had a delicate face. Although he was middle-aged, his eyebrows were filled with a handsome air, his upper body was upright, and he held a book in his hand. When he saw the two enter the room, he looked up, and when he looked at Tian Zhongchen, his gaze was gentle, and there was a hint of a smile on his face, as if he had heard everything that Mrs. Wang and Tian Zhongchen had said.
Aunt Wang bowed and said, "Master, this is the errand boy that you prepared for young master."
Tian Zhongchen was relieved to see that the old master was amiable and gentle, giving people a good impression of him. He was most afraid of encountering a brutal landlord noble.
Lin Yefeng put down the book and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"His name is Li Quan'er," replied Aunt Wang.
Lin Yefeng mumbled the words' Li Quan'er 'before he smiled and asked, "Quan'er, can you read?"
Madam Wang was startled. She did not know the answer, so she did not speak up to answer for him. Tian Zhongchen saw that she wouldn't say anything, so he said respectfully, "I know a little." His words were as concise as possible, completely in line with what his wife had asked of him.
Lin Yefeng seemed to have seen through Tian Zhongchen's intentions. He smiled and said, "What a well-behaved child. Aunt Wang, send him to Young Master's place." After which, he picked up the book and continued reading.
"Yes!" Sister Wang answered. She pulled Tian Zhongchen out of the room and turned a long corridor into a separate courtyard. Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard was a fourteen to fifteen year old youth. His upper body was resting on the stone table as if he had no bones, and his eyes were staring lifelessly at the book in front of him.
Madam Wang stopped in the distance, respectfully saying, "Young Master, the errand boy is here."
The young man turned his head to look at her, and suddenly a handsome face appeared before Tian Zhongchen's eyes. This young man inherited his father's handsomeness, eyes like the stars in the sky, a nose like a phoenix, and a pair of long eyebrows like a spring mountain. But the most rare thing was that unlike his father's gentleness, he had a valiant air about him, especially when he stood up, his strong body made his temperament even more powerful.
He looked at Tian Zhongchen and asked lazily: "What's your name? How old is he? Do you know martial arts? " He asked three questions at once.
Tian Zhongchen followed her orders and did not answer immediately. After a long time, he saw the sullen face of his wife and could only answer her without a word, "My name is Li Quan'er and I am thirteen years old. I don't know martial arts, but I want to learn martial arts." Just as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his back. It was because he had said one more word, but it wasn't painful due to it being pinched by his wife.
Hearing the second sentence, Lin Yuxian's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to Tian Zhongchen and said, "As long as you like martial arts, then I will temporarily keep this errand boy." At this point, he turned to his wife, "Aunt Wang, you may leave first."
"En!" She turned and left.
Lin Yuxian pulled Tian Zhongchen to the side of the stone table. He placed Tian Zhongchen on the stone bench and sat back down. With a wink, he asked, "You don't know martial arts, how about I teach you martial arts?"
Tian Zhongchen was stunned. The first thought he got was that there was something wrong with this handsome young master's head, and the second thought was excitement. After all, once he learned martial arts, he would be able to come and go freely, and martial arts could protect him from the cold, allowing him to easily escape after eating an overlord's meal. These two things basically solved the problem of a person's warmth and hunger, and to a certain extent, with martial arts, he could even break the theory of 'the greatest arrangement by the heavens'. At the same time, martial arts could kill people and loot goods, quickly getting rich. Of course, when doing bad things, one had to put the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor up.
Martial arts were simply synonymous with carefree and happy. However, on the way here, the old man always refused to teach him martial arts in the name of him not joining the organization. At this moment, when he heard that he could learn martial arts here, he had a complicated feeling in his heart. To be able to learn martial arts from him, it should be considered as gaining his trust, right? " he asked himself, feeling at that moment that he was a good, dedicated man.
