Chapter 924

Yonghe Lane.

The Mansion of the Grand Coachman.

Yuan Ji, wearing a set of white robes, was sitting in the study.

On the desk in front of him were tea cups, oil lamps, and a scroll of bamboo slips.

The door of the study was wide open, and four guards with swords hanging from their waists stood at the entrance.

Grand Coachman, one of the Nine Ministers.

In charge of manufacturing weapons and vehicles.

It seemed not as powerful as the other Nine Ministers.

But Yuan Ji was not yet thirty years old.

The weapons and vehicles in the city of Luoyang were all under Yuan Ji's jurisdiction.

"My Lord, Duan Yu came out from the West Garden, accompanied by the Lesser Yellow Gate Zuo Feng, came out from the south gate of the West Garden, and boarded a carriage."

In front of Yuan Ji's study, a man in a black robe knelt on one knee before the door and said in a low voice.

Yuan Ji, who picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, then nodded and said: "Continue the investigation, find out clearly who is meeting with Duan Yu in the carriage."

"Yes!"

In the Gold Market, the voices were deafening.

The streets of Luoyang, which had just lifted the curfew, were full of commoners who had been stifled at home for several months and had walked out onto the streets to release their stress.

On the outermost periphery of the Gold Market, in a wine shop near the West Garden.

Tie Shitou took ten of Duan Yu's personal guards and sat at two tables by the window.

The bustling market was brightly lit.

Bright lanterns were hung in front of the shops that opened at night.

The wine shop was even more overcrowded.

Tie Shitou, sitting by the window, drank wine while looking toward the distance outside the window.

From here, one could just see the palace wall of the south gate of the West Garden.

And Duan Yu was in a carriage not far from the West Garden.

Just as Tie Shitou was holding his wine cup and wanted to drink, suddenly a man holding a wine gourd staggered and bumped directly into Tie Shitou's table.

Hmm?

Several guards sitting around Tie Shitou immediately pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and wanted to stand up.

Tie Shitou, who turned his head, looked at the drunk man with a frown.

The man chuckled and inadvertently lifted a part of his waist that was covered.

Tie Shitou's pupils condensed, and he immediately made a gesture to his subordinates to stay calm.

"Come, get a pot of wine for this brother."

Tie Shitou said to the waiter of the wine shop on the side.

The waiter immediately bowed and trotted over: "Master, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The waiter of the wine shop was also a person with a sharp eye, having mixed in Luoyang for many years, he could see at a glance who could be provoked and who could not.

Although Tie Shitou and these people seemed to be wearing robes, the sharp-eyed waiter saw at a glance that these people had inner armor under their robes.

In Luoyang, those who dared to wear armor and carry swords could not be ordinary people.

And the drunkard, after showing Tie Shitou the token at his waist, immediately covered it up again.

Then he lowered his voice and said: "Night Eagle of the Fourth Division of Military Intelligence, I have met General Tie."

Tie Shitou nodded slightly.

As Duan Yu's personal guard, Tie Shitou naturally knew of the existence of the Military Intelligence Department.

"Speak, what's the matter." Tie Shitou picked up the wine cup and asked.

"There are a large number of scouts from the noble clans in Luoyang city monitoring the Marquis. My identity is not suitable to appear near the Marquis, so I ask General Tie to convey this to the Marquis."

Hmm?

Tie Shitou's brow furrowed and he asked: "Do you know where these eyes are from?"

Night Eagle shook his head and said: "It is currently unclear, but the Military Intelligence Department has already launched operations in the vicinity. So far, several people have been killed, but the number of eyes is very large. It should not be a temporary impulse, but someone doing it on purpose."

"I ask General Tie to convey this to the Marquis to be careful."

Tie Shitou nodded and said: "Good, I know. You all be careful."

The waiter also came over with a wine gourd filled with wine and handed it to Night Eagle.

"Many thanks, Master."

Night Eagle chuckled, then carried the wine gourd and staggered toward the outside of the wine shop.

After Night Eagle left, Tie Shitou stood up unhurriedly and said to a subordinate on the side: "You immediately return to the mansion and notify Wang Hunu, tell him to send another team to clear the obstacles on the Marquis's way back to the mansion."

The personal guard took the order, nodded, and turned to leave.

Watching Night Eagle walk far away and merge into the darkness of the street corner, Tie Shitou walked toward the direction of the carriage where Duan Yu was parked in the distance.

At this time, the oppressive sounds lingering in the carriage gradually disappeared.

Following that was the rustling sound of putting on clothes. ===== CHAPTER 926 =====
