Chapter 68 Natural Divine Power
In the alleys of Los Angeles in the early morning, dark clouds moved lightly through the alleys, neither hurriedly nor nervously, with the demeanor of a great general.

Behind it, only six of the most agile tabby cats were left following.

When they passed by, a guard dog rushed out and barked, but one of the tabby cats just glanced at the guard dog lightly, and the guard dog immediately whimpered and hid back home.

The next moment, a tabby cat came running towards us and meowed: Not found!
The dark cloud also meowed: Explore again and report again!
The tabby cat turned and ran away.

But after a while, the other tabby cat that was exploring the way turned back: Not found!

Dark Cloud: Explore again, report again!

It sent out six tabby cats, each of which chased after the person in six different routes. It didn't believe that it would not be able to find the person that Chen Ji mentioned.

At this time, a tabby cat ran back: Found it!

The dark cloud rushed out with a whoosh, and the black figure was as smooth and fierce as a flowing shadow.

Si Cao had already walked to Changning Street, and the short knife in his hand had disappeared, hidden in his sleeve. When he walked among the crowd, he looked like an ordinary tenant, nothing special.

There were gradually more and more pedestrians on the streets of Los Angeles. Every household carried out their toilets and poured the leftover feces into the "city toilets" built by the government on the street.

The night soil pickers gathered around the toilet, scooping out the waste as residents dumped it.

In this era, the competition for manure has formed a huge industrial chain. Merchants mix manure into hard soil to shape it, and then sell it to farmers after composting.

Some people have accumulated huge wealth from this business, and dung pickers have a unique name, "Qingjiaotou".

Si Cao suddenly stopped and glanced sideways. His eyes under his bamboo hat were as sharp as a knife, cutting at every passerby.

But no matter how long he searched, he couldn't find any clues.

It was strange, but Sicao always had an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, as if someone was pressing a needle against his forehead, making it itchy.

He had this feeling every time he was being monitored, but this time, he didn't find the person who was monitoring him.

As he was examining it, a tabby cat swaggered past his feet.

Si Cao just glanced at it lightly and then looked away without thinking any more.

Who is following me?
Secret Service?
Or is it the shopkeeper Yuan? Or is it the Liu family?
Thinking of this, Si Cao quickened his pace. He entered a dead end and with a light leap, he climbed onto the eaves of the wall.

He crouched down behind a roof, cautiously poked his head out and stared at the dead end, wanting to see who would chase him.

However, Si Cao waited for a quarter of an hour and still did not see anyone following him. On the roof of the residential area, there was only a black cat playing with a tabby cat not far away, and there was nothing unusual.

Si Cao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the string in his head had been too tense recently and he had been thinking too much.

……

……

In the deserted alley, Chen Ji leaned against the gray wall beside him, breathing slowly. He was not sure whether Wu Yun could catch up with Si Cao, but he had to give it a try.

Once upon a time, he had no stance between the Ning Dynasty's Secret Intelligence Department and the Jing Dynasty's Military Intelligence Department. He could work for anyone as long as they were paid.

But life cannot be like walking on a tightrope every day…When watching the sunrise from the Drum Tower, Chen Ji looked at his Ning Chao friends around him and suddenly wanted to have a new beginning.

The identity of a spy in the Military Intelligence Department was like a huge chasm on his road to a "new beginning".

If you want to have a new beginning, you must end your old identity.

Now, there should be only four people who know his identity as a spy in the Military Intelligence Department: his uncle, two officers in the department, and the chief.

The uncle in the legend has already stepped down, and the other party can no longer control the Military Intelligence Department, and naturally can no longer control him. If this uncle can be completely defeated by his political enemies, that would be the best outcome. They will be separated by two dynasties and never meet again...

As for the remaining three... I just need to kill them all, and then I can gradually fade out of the Jingchao Military Intelligence Department's sight.

The prince once asked him on the Drum Tower what he wanted to do in the future. He didn't know at the time and just said he wanted to survive.

Now he knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to get rid of Jingchao Military Intelligence Department.

Chen Ji supported himself against the wall and slowly straightened up. The wound had just been pressed by Manager Yuan, and he was in a hurry to get going, so the wound burst open again. It was not until he lifted up his shirt that he realized his pants were soaked with blood.

But he couldn't care less about that now. He dusted himself off and limped along the alley toward the clinic.

Chen Ji gathered his clothes to cover the bloodstains on his pants, but as soon as he walked out of the alley, he retreated back.

At this moment, Jin Zhu was standing at the door of Taiping Medical Clinic, saying something through the door.

Chen Ji frowned. The golden pig blocked the way back. If Bai Li opened the door for the other party at this moment, and the other party entered the clinic and found that Bai Li was not inside, he would definitely become suspicious.

"Bai Li, you must help me delay," Chen Ji climbed onto the roof with difficulty, feeling nervous. He didn't even know whether Bai Li would help him delay time. After all, he had never told Bai Li about this matter.

……

……

In front of Taiping Medical Clinic.

"Are you Chen Ji's friend?" Princess Baili asked doubtfully through the door.

"Yes," the Golden Pig said with a smile, "Please open the door for a moment. I brought him some nourishing food."

At this time, Bai Li subconsciously wanted to say that Chen Ji had gone out, so why don’t you come back later.

But she looked back at the empty bamboo chair, recalling how Chen Ji had just slipped away, and suddenly felt that she couldn't say that.

She thought for a few seconds and said, "Chen Ji is seriously injured and is still sleeping. Please wait for a moment. I will go call him."

The Golden Pig muttered outside the door, "The princess of the palace doesn't understand the ways of the world. Even if you go to wake him up, at least let me go in and wait. What does it mean that you won't open the door... Huh?"

He gently pulled the door, then pushed it, only to find that the door of Taiping Medical Clinic was bolted and could not be opened at all.

Jin Zhu was even more confused. Although the clinic was not like a breakfast shop and did not need to open so early, was there no one to fetch water in the early morning? What was the other party doing inside with the door bolted?

Thinking of this, Jin Zhu slowly retreated to Anxi Street, scanning the rooftops. Just as he was about to climb onto the rooftop and sneak in to take a look, he heard the voice of Princess Baili from inside the Taiping Clinic: "Chen Ji is still sleeping, but you can come in and wait for him first. I'll open the door for you."

When Golden Pig heard this, he gave up the idea of ​​sneaking in and waited patiently.

But no matter how long I waited, the door didn't open.

Jin Zhu asked in a serious tone: "Why don't you open the door?"

Princess Baili said hurriedly in the room: "I don't know how this door latch got stuck and I can't pull it out."

The next moment, Golden Pig used all his strength to pull the door hard, but heard the bolt break with a click.

The princess in the room took several steps back in fear, but Jin Zhu rushed in with a smile on his face: "The bolt may be rotten, so it can't be opened. I will send someone to order a new one this afternoon. It will be kept for future use."

The princess was anxious and pulled his arm desperately: "Hey, how could you break into a private house without permission? It's outrageous! You are not the one who hurt Chen Ji, are you? Don't even think about hurting him again!"

However, the princess was no match for the golden pig in strength, and was dragged by him to slide on the floor.

The princess shouted loudly: "Brother, Doctor Yao, Brother Gou'er, someone broke into the clinic!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The prince was the first to rush over, blocking Golden Pig's way and reaching out to grab Golden Pig's clothes.

But the Golden Pig was ruthless and just turned around and broke free from the Prince and the Princess, and crashed into Liang Maoer.

He pushed Liang Maoer, but failed. Instead, Liang Maoer pursed her lips and pushed him back to the main hall door!
"Hey," Jin Zhu didn't believe it and struggled with Liang Maoer, trying to knock Liang Maoer to the ground with wrestling skills.

But the strange thing is that Liang Maoer's chassis is more stable than his, and he can't fall at all!
"Eh?" Jin Zhu looked at Liang Mao'er in surprise: "Born with supernatural powers?!"

Liang Mao'er pulled at Jin Zhu's clothes and said in a muffled voice, "Why did you break into the clinic?"

Jin Zhu knew that he could not defeat the enemy head-on, so he took off his outer coat as if shedding his shell, crawled out from under Liang Maoer's armpit, and rushed into the apprentice dormitory.

He was stunned for a moment. In the dim apprentice dormitory, Chen Ji was lying on the apprentice bunk bed wrapped in a quilt and sleeping, which was completely different from what he had expected.

The prince, the princess, She Dengke, Liu Quxing and others rushed into the apprentice dormitory, trying to drag the golden pig out of the door.

But the golden pig's feet seemed to have nails, and it didn't move at all no matter how many people dragged it.

The princess turned around and looked at Liang Gou'er: "Brother Gou'er, please help me."

But Liang Gou'er was sweeping the floor, pretending he heard nothing.

Upon seeing this, Liang Maoer grabbed the golden pig's arm and pulled hard, actually pulling it out of the door.

The golden pig's feet were pulled off the ground, and he screamed, "What the hell?!"

Liang Maoer carried the golden pig into the yard, and a group of people surrounded him and blocked the kitchen door.

Bai Li stood outside the door with her hands on her hips. She frowned and lowered her voice to scold, "You are not Chen Ji's friend at all. How can you break into your friend's house like that?"

Jin Zhu hurriedly explained with a smile: "I was worried about Chen Ji. You didn't open the door for a long time, and I thought something happened inside."

"Even if the sky falls, this won't happen!"

Old man Yao stood beside the apricot tree with his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Master Jinzhu, what can I do for you today?"

Jin Zhu picked up the snacks and fruits in his hands and said, "Our Secret Service was trying to arrest a spy from Jing Dynasty, but he accidentally let the spy escape, which is why Chen Ji, who was passing by, was injured. In the final analysis, he was injured like this because of our negligence, so I felt bad and came to visit him."

The Prince and Bai Li were stunned. This fat man was actually from the Secret Service. No wonder Liang Gouer was unwilling to take action just now!

The two men looked at Liang Gou'er, only to see that he was still holding the bamboo broom as if nothing had happened.

Bai Li turned to Jin Zhu and said, "Master Jin Zhu, you have seen the person and delivered the gift. Please go back. In the future, please do your duty and arrest the Jing Dynasty spies. Don't let the spies escape and hurt people again... Where is the spy who hurt Chen Ji being held now?"

Jin Zhu smiled and said, "Imprisoned? No, no, no, he was killed by Chen Ji."

The prince and Bai Li gasped and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the apprentice dormitory. Before this, they had no way of connecting Chen Ji with murder.

Bai Li recalled Chen Ji's action of slipping away just now, and his expression became complicated. This apprentice of the medical clinic seemed not as simple as he thought...

Just when everyone was stunned, Jinzhu slipped through the crowd like a loach, entered the apprentice's dormitory, and pulled back the quilt covering Chen Ji, revealing half of his body.

But Chen Ji was wearing a lined nightgown and slowly opened his eyes: "Master Jinzhu, why are you here?"

Jin Zhu's frown slowly relaxed, and before everyone gathered around him again, he quickly bowed and said with a smile: "I won't bother you today. I'll come to visit you again when Chen Ji is better."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Chen Ji sat on the bed and gasped. Jin Zhu was too difficult to deal with. His suspicious character, unwilling to let go of any details, was undoubtedly what the Secret Service needed most.

But if you become an opponent of such a person, the slightest mistake will lead to your downfall.

Everyone wanted to come in and ask Chen Ji what was going on, but they saw Bai Li standing at the door and whispered, "You guys go and do your work, I have something to ask him."

After everyone left, Bai Li asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "Princess, I don't want to lie to you. If you are willing to believe me, don't ask."

"Then tell me first, was it arranged by someone that you stay with me and my brother?"

"No, I won't do anything bad to you either."

"Okay, I won't ask again in the future. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else what just happened."

After that, she turned and walked out the door, calling the prince, "Brother, let's go back to the palace."

The prince was stunned for a moment: "Are you in such a hurry to go back? I want to stay for lunch."

Chen Ji sat on the bed, listening to the sound of them climbing up the ladder and leaving over the wall, in silence.

The window of the apprentice's dormitory moved, and Wu Yun's head squeezed through a gap and came in like liquid: "I found the person you are looking for. He is a coachman in the Liu family."
