The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"where is this?"

Kang Ge'er leaned against a rock, took off the cloth on his face and shook it. Countless yellow sands fell with his movements.

He looked around. This was a place he had never been to before.

During these three years, he has been helping His Majesty and sending back a lot of intelligence.

From just a few words, it seems to be related to court spies.

He took off the water bag from his waist, tilted his head back and took a sip, but when he wanted to drink two more sips, there was no more.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his lips became pale and chapped due to lack of water.

"What bad luck."

Kang Ge'er put the kettle on his waist, stood up and shook himself.

First of all, he had to find a water source as soon as possible, otherwise he would lose his ability to move if he was without water for too long.

As expected, this place is in the territory of Xiyi. He needs to find a city and then find a way to go back.

He had been to Xiyi several times, but he had always come with Han Yang and Bai Yi before. This time he came alone.

It’s a pity that he lost the person.

They discovered a key clue: a person from Xiyi would sneak into Yumen twice a year.

They have been following this man for a year. If they catch him, they will definitely know who the informant he contacted is.

Kang Ge'er had a hunch that this person was someone important.

So this time they planned to follow him and find out who was behind it.

Kang Ge'er has made many contributions in these three years. The intelligence he collected privately not only brought a lot of information to the Emperor of Chu, but also benefited the front line a lot.

The war between Da Chu and Xiyi has continued to this day and has become exhausted, with the battlefield becoming extremely tense.

The battlefield where the two armies fought extended from Yumen to Guanmen. After Guanmen was lost, the Western Barbarians repeatedly conquered three cities, and even Chihai and Dahuang were occupied by the Western Barbarians.

Finally, the army retreated to Yumen, and Yumen was almost lost. Fortunately, Kang Ge'er was lurking inside the gate and got the news and passed it back.

The Western Yi raiding army was marching at night and was ambushed by the Chu army who had learned the news in advance. The Western Yi suffered a crushing defeat.

The Great Chu State struck while the iron was hot, made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, stormed Chihai, drove back two enemy cities, and recaptured Chihai and Dahuang.

Yumen and Guanmen were only about ten miles apart, with each army guarding a fort.

The Great Chu wanted to retake the Guanmen, but the Western Yi occupied the Guanmen and refused to retreat.

Kang Ge'er didn't know where he was, so he just walked towards the water source.

When he followed that person, he accidentally met King Salon. At that time, he lost his way and arrived at this strange place after wandering for a long time.

The Western Yi people lack water, so wherever there is water, there is a city.

Kang Ge'er walked to a withered bush and dug in the ground. This was the method he had learned to identify the direction of the water source.

After digging in several places, he finally confirmed the direction and walked to one side.

Inside Yumen, after Bai Yi and his companions reunited, they discovered that Kang Ge'er was not there, and they felt something was wrong.

"He must have discovered something. Go find the clues he left behind."

Several people acted separately.

After finding the things left by Kang Ge'er, they followed the clues.

Kang Ge'er had already arrived in Mo Shenghuai City at this time.

He made marks along the way, and he believed that Han Yang and the others would be able to find them when they realized what was happening.

When he arrived near Huaicheng, he found the richest house and sneaked in.

When he came out again, he seemed like a different person.

Guilty sin.

He comforted himself in his heart, then walked into the city gate with his purse in his hand.

"stop!"

As soon as Kang Ge'er walked in, he was stopped.

He turned around naturally and replied in Xiyi dialect: "Are you calling me?"

"Okay, it's okay."

Kang Ge'er's lips curled up slightly, then he turned and left.

He was walking down the street in such a swagger. When he passed by a restaurant, he was hungry, so he turned around and walked in.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

The waiter came up and it was obvious that he was a rich man.

"Are there any private rooms left?"

"Yes, yes. How many of you are there?"

"Only me."

"Okay, please come this way."

The waiter led Kang Ge'er to the private room on the second floor.

"This, this, and this, and some butter tea, that's all."

"Okay, sir, you know how to eat. Our butter tea is the most authentic."

The waiter walked out with a smile. After he left, Kang Ge'er stood up and walked to the window, looking down with his arms folded across his chest.

He noticed that the door was opened and someone came into the room. He thought it was the waiter.

"What else?"

Not getting a response, Kang Ge'er groped slowly with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

He was patted on the back, and he turned around, took out the dagger in his hand and started fighting with the person opposite him.

After several rounds, Li Zhi suddenly said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, it's me."

Hearing the words of the Great Chu spoken by the other side, Kang Ge'er did not dare to be careless and continued to attack.

Li Zhi admired in his heart that this vigilance was a good thing.

"I know Han Yang."

Li Zhi spoke in the Western Yi language. People in this line of work in the Western Yi language did not use the Great Chu language to communicate.

Only then did Kang Ge'er stop and realize that the other party had no intention of attacking, so he put the dagger back.

"who are you?"

Li Zhi sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"We sent a message."

Kang Ge'er looked at the man in front of him. This was the person that His Majesty had sent to infiltrate Mo Sheng before.

"It's you, why are you here?"

"Let's not talk about me first, why are you here?"

Kang Ge'er sat down and the two of them spoke in code as they recounted what had happened.

"I saw the man's face, but I lost him."

"Really?"

Li Zhi became excited. He didn't expect to meet this young man and get such an unexpected surprise.

"What does it look like? Can you describe it?"

Kang Ge'er thought about it and shook his head.

"He looks so ordinary, without any distinctive features."

Li Zhi sighed, and Kang Ge'er continued, "Do you have paper and pen? I can draw it for you."

"You still have this talent?"

Li Zhi was a little surprised. Kang Ge'er grinned so wide that all eight of his teeth were exposed.

"I know a little bit."

What a joke! He did learn a little bit from his grandmother. Even though he couldn't draw 90% of the way, he could probably draw 70%.

"Okay, follow me later. Once the painting is done, you should leave quickly. The city has been very strict lately."

Kang Ge'er nodded, stood up and walked outside.

"Waiter, bring two more dishes."

The waiter came up hurriedly and asked what was going on.

"A friend of mine happened to be passing by, so I'd like to treat him to a meal. Didn't you just have your signature roast goose? I'd also like some beef tongue, and two jugs of wine."

"Okay! Please wait, the food will be served soon."

The waiter went downstairs happily, ran to the kitchen and shouted, then stood outside to attract customers.

After giving the instructions, Kang Ge went in.

At this time, a group of soldiers passed by and stopped at the door of the store.

"Come here and answer."

The waiter was called forward, and he walked forward tremblingly waiting for a reply.

"Has anyone suspicious come to the store today? Especially if they're alone?"

The waiter nodded, "Yes, there are quite a few."

The leading officer went straight in and stood in the lobby.

"Go and call them out."

The waiter quickly responded, then went into the cafeteria and called a few people out.

Suddenly he remembered there was another one upstairs...
