Chapter 522: The Enemy Emerges
Under the planning and design of Yuan Chang, the city of Beijing began to expand in a four-square pattern. According to the foundation of Beijing in later generations, the Youzhou Mansion was built on the feng shui treasure land facing north and south, which was the location of the imperial city in later generations. Centered on the government is the inner city, which is mainly built with the government office, as well as the temple market, and countless open spaces. And the residences of Yuan Chang and others were also built in the city, and as for the other vacant land, Yuan Chang naturally kept it for later use. The rest of the inner city is a small city, of course, a small city does not mean that it occupies a small area, in fact, the area of a small city is much larger than that of a large city. It's just that Ayutthaya is the administrative center, so it is named. The small city was mostly inhabited by ordinary people and merchants, and the eastern and western cities of commerce and trade were also built in the small town.
The East Market is mainly engaged in precious treasures such as porcelain and silk, while the West Market is mainly engaged in clothing, food, housing, transportation and other supplies. Therefore, most of the people living in the vicinity of the East Market are big families and officials with high status, while in the West Market, most of them are ordinary people, merchants, workers, etc.
And at this moment, in an inconspicuous house in Xishi, there are three people sitting around, whispering something. In the house, there were no lights on at all, and the three people who spoke were also ordinary-looking, and they didn't seem to attract the attention of others at all when they were thrown in the crowd.
"Captain, about Youzhou Mu Yuan Chang and his relatives, his subordinates have already investigated clearly. A younger man said in a deep voice with his head bowed.
"Say!"
The man at the head, who was called the captain, said only one word neatly. The man who spoke before responded with his head bowed, and then said: "Yuan Changxian's henchmen now have Zhao Yun and Dian Wei under his command. Guo Jia, Han Sui. Tai Shi Ci, Yu banned six people. Furthermore. The famous Confucian Cai Yong is also in Beijing, and according to investigation, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan has a close relationship with Yuan Chang. Then, there was a daughter in Yuan Chang's house, although the two were married, they were already treated as his wife by Yuan Chang's subordinates, but this woman only knew that her name was Liu Xi, as for where she was. There is no clue who the parents are; there is also a daughter, which is Cai Yan; in addition to these two daughters, there is also a daughter named Diao Xiuer, who is also a woman who often goes in and out of Yuan Chang's mansion, this woman is the same as Liu Xi, and she doesn't know where she came from, without the slightest clue. ”
"Hmm!"
The man who was called the captain answered softly, but he didn't say anything. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, the man who spoke first hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Captain." Except for the above people, the rest of the people are insignificant, and they are not Yuan Chang's henchmen. Such as Liu He, Gongsun Xu and others who recently joined Yuan Chang. Perhaps it was under pressure from Yuan Chang that he would serve Yuan Chang. We don't have to do it. As long as Yuan Chang and his relatives and henchmen are eliminated, Youzhou will be leaderless. We can get the job done too. As far as these people are concerned, they can be easily eradicated with just a few Dharma protectors, so why should the alliance send deacons and hall masters to lead the team, is it a bit of a fuss. ”
"Sima Liu, shut up!"
The man known as the captain had a plain face and scolded in a low voice. "You seem to be such a shrewd person on weekdays, don't you know what to say and what not to say? Remember, don't say such things again next time, otherwise, once the alliance knows about it, I won't be able to save you. ”
"Got it, captain, my subordinates won't dare to say it next time. When Sima Liu heard this, he responded with sincere fear. Thinking of the harsh punishment in the alliance, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"All you need to know is that the alliance attaches great importance to the appearance of the Rebels. As for what the Rebels are, I don't know very well. I am afraid that the content of such a secret is only known to people above the level of deacons and elders. Therefore, as long as we work hard to complete the task and satisfy the alliance, I believe that sooner or later we will be able to come into contact with these secrets, and then we will know why the alliance attaches so much importance to the rebels. ”
"Yes, the captain is right. ”
Sima Liu and the other man nodded hurriedly, the three of them, the captain was at the helmsman level, and the two were at the elite level. Above the helmsman is the protector of the Dharma, and above the protector of the Dharma is the hall master. After the hall master, he can be promoted to the deacon of the alliance, the elder. As long as the merit is enough, he can be promoted to the suzerain of the general alliance, as for the alliance leader, it is not something that these characters can imagine. For a person of their level, as long as they can be promoted to the rank of Elder of the Division, it is already a great honor.
"What people!"
When Sima Liu and the other man were still immersed in the sweet dream of being promoted, the captain suddenly screamed, and his body quickly rushed out of the house. When Sima Liu and another man followed, they saw that the captain was pulling the long sword out of a man's chest, and blood was dripping from the sword, which looked extremely dazzling under the moonlight.
"Captain, he's..."
"Don't say anything more!"
Before Sima Liu's words were finished, the captain interrupted his questioning with a wave of his hand, and said with a serious face: "There is no doubt that this person must be a spy under Yuan Chang's command." I didn't expect that we acted so carefully that we would be targeted, Yuan Chang was really not simple. This place can no longer stay for long, you immediately remove all traces in the house, and we will move immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be discovered later. ”
Hearing the captain's words, the three of them immediately started to remove the traces of their stay, and the whole room looked as if no one had ever stayed before. After doing all this, the three of them did not leave from the main entrance, they directly climbed over the wall, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The three of them didn't notice it, and after they left, the figure lying on the ground squirmed with difficulty in his right hand, and then it was completely silent.
After the three disappeared for a quarter of an hour, three more people appeared outside the house, and after careful investigation, the three of them broke down the door and rushed in, and finally saw only a corpse lying on the ground.
"Company Commander Li, the pony is dead, it seems that we are late. ”
"Bastard!"
All three of them had angry expressions on their faces, and it was clear that their teammates had died. It made them feel angry. After the anger, Company Commander Li calmed down. He analyzed in a deep voice: "Xiao Ma previously reported that the owner here behaved abnormally, mostly to inquire about the information of Youzhou Mu and a group of officials. I think it's a person who is not good for Youzhou. Now that the pony is dead, things must be extraordinary, and this matter is no longer in our hands. You two are guarding this place now, don't let anyone get close, and I'll report the matter to the battalion commander. ”
"No!"
Company Commander Li left in a hurry, and after another quarter of an hour, led by Company Commander Li, a group of more than ten people followed behind him, and walked towards the house at a rapid pace. The first person looks at his figure. It seems to be a woman, looking carefully through the moonlight, if there is a familiar person here, she will definitely be surprised that this person is Diao Xiu'er, that is, Diao Chan, who was the protagonist of the discord plan in the original history.
As early as when Yuan Chang went to Chang'an, he presented Wang Yun with a divisive plan, and begged Diao Xiuer to come over from Wang Yun. In the end, Wang Yun was among his righteous daughters. In addition, he found a Ni Shang, that is, Lu Bu's other wife now, to serve as the protagonist of the discord plan. The reason why Yuan Chang asked Wang Yun for Diao Xiu'er was because he valued Diao Xiu'er's skills. Of course. Diao Xiuer's skills are not based on combat, mainly because of her excellent means such as shadow hiding, assassination, and assassination. When they were in Chang'an, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun almost didn't find any trace of Diao Xiu'er. Therefore. After Yuan Chang captured Youzhou, he established an independent brigade unit that mainly focused on intelligence and military intelligence. And the brigade commander of this independent brigade is naturally served by Diao Xiuer.
Diao Xiu'er didn't say anything. Go straight inside the house and look around. Diao Xiuer herself is an expert in hiding traces, and later Yuan Chang told Diao Xiuer about the methods of some special forces in later generations, and after Diao Xiuer fused them, she has become an expert in this aspect. After looking at it, Diao Xiuer found that this place had been disguised, and after analyzing some clues, Diao Xiuer found that the owner of this place had stayed for at least three days. In three days, it is enough to find out the news, and it seems that the other party has obtained enough information, so he will be a killer, not afraid of startling the snake. Otherwise, there is no need for the other party to kill.
Having understood this information, Diao Xiuer did not continue to inspect, but summoned Company Commander Li to him.
"Company Commander Li, tell me carefully what happened, and don't make any omissions. ”
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
Company Commander Li saluted, and after considering some words in his heart, he said: "Three days ago, Xiaoma found that someone was inquiring about the information of Youzhou Mu, Commander Zhao, and Commander Dian, and thought that these people were extremely suspicious. So, I began to follow these people. Pony found that there were three of these people, and they had only become the owners of this house four days ago, and when they arrived in Beijing, they began to inquire about the Youzhou Mu and them, and they must have wanted to be unfavorable to Youzhou Mu and them. Pony reports the incident to his subordinates, who find it unusual. Therefore, he asked Xiao Ma, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Wei to take turns to monitor the three of them. The first two days were monitored by Xiao Liu and Xiao Wei, and there was no abnormal situation, the three of them rested at sunset every day, left the house at sunrise, and went separately to inquire about the information of Youzhou Mu and others. Originally, the subordinates thought that after tonight, they didn't find out any news, so they took down the three of them first, tortured and interrogated, and they would definitely be able to know why they wanted to find out the information of Youzhou Mu and others. However, after the appointed time, the subordinates found that the pony had not yet returned, so they knew that something had happened and hurried to arrive, and when they arrived, they found that the pony was dead. Brigade commander, those three people must be unfavorable to Youzhou Mu and them, they must be arrested as soon as possible, and they must avenge the pony. ”
"Li Tong, the brigade commander knows how to do things, and he can't teach you how to do things. Seeing this, a middle-aged man behind Diao Xiu'er hurriedly stood up and scolded him, and at the same time winked at Li Tong, signaling him not to say anything more. The independent brigade mainly focuses on intelligence inquiry, and the system is naturally extremely strict. Like what Li Tong said at the end, it was obvious that he had crossed his identity, so Camp Commander Tang, who was Li Tong's superior, stood up and signaled him.
"Battalion Commander Tang, I understand Company Commander Li's feelings. The pony died, and Company Commander Li, as a comrade-in-arms, was so angry, and that should be, so you don't need to be so harsh. Diao Xiu'er comforted her in a low voice, and then educated: "But, Company Commander Li, you have to understand that we, as soldiers of the Independent Brigade under Youzhou Mu, are extremely important. Our work must always be calm and not let anger affect our emotions. Only in this way can we capture the enemy and avenge our comrades, I hope you understand. ”
"Yes, my subordinates follow the instructions of the brigade commander. ”
Diao Xiu'er nodded, and her eyes fell on the pony's corpse again. Looking at the pony's corpse, Diao Xiuer always felt that something was wrong. After a while, Diao Xiu'er's eyes lit up, and she finally realized that something was wrong. It stands to reason that after death, the whole body will relax, and the arms should hang down naturally. However, it is true that the pony's left arm is naturally drooping, however, the pony's right arm has a slight curvature, which is obviously abnormal.
"Somebody, turn the pony's body over. ”
"No!"
Two soldiers ran over and turned the pony's corpse open, Diao Xiu'er asked people to fetch torches, and swept around where the pony's corpse was lying before, and finally, saw a simple handwriting on the ground, if you didn't pay attention to it, I'm afraid you wouldn't notice it at all. Moreover, as long as there is a slight wind and sand blowing, I am afraid that this handwriting will also be covered. Fortunately, Diao Xiuer found it in time, otherwise, if this handwriting was destroyed while others were moving the body, this clue would have disappeared forever.
"Alliance!"
Looking at the only clue left by the pony, Diao Xiuer couldn't help frowning. Behind Diao Xiu'er, everyone else was also puzzled, what does the word "alliance" represent?
Battalion Commander Tang looked at Diao Xiu'er, who was frowning and contemplative, and said, "Brigade Commander, what does this alliance mean? Does it refer to which side of the force? However, which side of the world in this world is surnamed Alliance?"
When Camp Commander Tang said this, Diao Xiu'er first filtered all the forces in the world in her head, and there seemed to be no such object; however, after pondering for a while, Diao Xiu'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered a force in her head, which seemed to be related to the "alliance".
When Lu Bu went to Hanoi, he encountered a fake Lu Bu and his party, if Yuan Chang hadn't found out and asked Ye Gucheng and others to help, I am afraid that Lu Bu would have been more auspicious at that time and would have been replaced by others. At that time, the fake Lu Bu and his party claimed to be people in the "alliance", and said that Lu Bu was a rebel or something. Regarding this matter, Diao Xiuer naturally also knows something. Now it seems that the person who started it was this so-called "alliance".
"Battalion Commander Tang, Company Commander Li, you have a lot of credit this time, I will record it for you. Bury the pony and do a good job of the ponny's family care. This matter must not be spread except for the people present, otherwise, it will be severely punished!" Diao Xiu'er gave a serious exhortation, and then led the people away. (To be continued.) )
