The last days of the end of the year 785 seemed to the people of the time to be quiet. Lindy's red-clothed flag was recalled by the chief and did not attract the attention of those who cared. In the eyes of the bureaucrats of the imperial capital, the promotion of a young red-clothed banner to deputy commander is certainly a lucky one to be envied—but it is also worth enviing. There were too many high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, and a mere deputy commander, under the backdrop of those dazzling superstars, immediately became dim.

On the night that Lindy entered the city, he immediately went to the governor's mansion at No. 21 Central Avenue to ask for a meeting. After giving his name, he was interviewed. In the basement of the Governor's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Governor talked with the newly promoted deputy commander for more than an hour, and the guards guarded the door of the basement, and no one was allowed to approach.

When Lindy walked out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, it was already the middle of the night full of stars. Walking on the thick snow of the central street, the rather handsome officer laughed wildly inexplicably, which surprised the guards at the gate of the governor's mansion.

The next night, the president led Luo Minghai back home, and the guards came to report: "Lindy Red Flag is asking to see me." ”

"Nope." President Ling said coldly.

"He said there was something important, something important about primroses."

"Red Primrose", this is the code name of the operation to eliminate Di Lin, and the only people who know about it are the president of the family and the chief of the family.

Hearing this word, Luo Minghai was shocked, turned around and said, "See." ”

Seeing the president, Lindy got straight to the point: "My lord, the chief has agreed to the primrose operation, and the special subordinate has come to assist you." ”

Looking at the newly promoted officer in front of him, the president nodded lightly. In his opinion, the operation should be as secret as possible, and it was not necessary to have Lindy join.

"Xiaguan is reckless, dare to ask my lord, do you have a plan?"

"Yes."

Lindy smiled bitterly, and he asked again: "Dare to ask for details?" ”

Luo Minghai reluctantly squeezed toothpaste and said his plan. The whole operation sounded like a small military coup. Three days later. That is, on the last day of 785, December 30, the two divisions of the Central Army stationed in the city received an order to send troops to surround the headquarters of the Supervision Office. Luo Minghai personally commanded on the spot, they would crush all resistance and arrest Di Lin directly, and then, the big knife clicked. The head of the treacherous man fell to the ground, and the world was peaceful.

Halfway through hearing this, Lin Di was already frowning, but because the person in front of him was the president of the family, he listened patiently, and had to pretend to be very admired: "My lord is far-sighted and well-arranged, such an action, Di Lin will definitely be in a catastrophe." ”

"Hmm."

"But the lower officials are only afraid that His Royal Highness the Chief Governor will not pass."

"Huh?"

"Your Excellency, you have to think about Your Highness. Although His Highness agrees with you to do it. But the Senate is about to convene. To capture a mere traitor. Dispatching a large army to destroy the peaceful atmosphere in the imperial capital is probably not what His Highness wants. ”

Luo Minghai narrowed his eyes. He's not stupid. In fact, the chief had already hinted at the same meaning to him: Di Lin was arrogant and domineering, and the family's patience with him had reached the limit. If the proud Inspector General suddenly dies one day, then no one will investigate the cause of his death and the murderer - the subconscious meaning is very clear: the family will be happy to see Luo Minghai kill Di Lin, but they will not interfere in it.

This action, at least on the surface, is an act of revenge for personal vendettas, and has nothing to do with the family, let alone the wise and great Governor-General. But thinking of the blood feud between his wife and children, the anger had already burned Luo Minghai's mind. As long as he can kill Di Lin, he has no regard for the consequences.

He said coldly: "This official has his own measure. All the consequences. I take it upon myself. ”

Lindy stood up and replied in the same cold and arrogant voice, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not a problem you can afford. Without the warrant of His Royal Highness the Commander-General or His Highness Ning, you cannot mobilize the Central Army. Moreover, His Highness the Governor will never issue a warrant to you. ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and Luo Minghai looked away angrily. He muffled, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Di Lin has many enemies, and he himself is very careful, with as many as 100 guards in and out, and the guards are tight. His comings and goings are irregular. He takes a different route to and from work every day, and he never eats and eats outside, and eats his own meals - an adult, it is generally impossible to ambush him with a surprise attack. ”

"You don't have to say this!"

Luo Minghai said coldly, he had been working longer than Lindy, of course he knew this. It was precisely because of this that he chose to dispatch a large army and directly destroy Di Lin's nest.

"It's not possible, but it's not impossible." Lindy said: "No matter how closely Di Lin is well prepared, but His Royal Highness the Governor supports us, this is where he will fail!" ”

"But the chief said that he would not interfere......"

"The chief doesn't interfere, but he secretly helps us, and that's okay. Di Lin's whereabouts are uncertain and unpredictable, but he can't fail to meet the summons of His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. For example—" said Lindy with a smile, "Your Highness will summon Di Lin to report on the work of this year's Supervision Office in three days, that is, on the evening of December 30th. The debriefing began at nine p.m. and ended at twelve. Sir, do you think, Di Lin has finished his report, where will he go in the middle of the night when the New Year is coming? ”

"Go home!"

The two shouted at the same time, and Luo Minghai was so excited that he stood up suddenly and walked around the room quickly. Everyone is a smart person, and he doesn't need Lindy to explain it thoroughly, he understands what to do. The trickiest thing about Di Lin is that his whereabouts are secretive, but now that he knows his actions, it will be easy to eliminate him as long as he ambushes an ambush on the road.

Lin Di said in a deep voice: "My lord, even if we know Di Lin's whereabouts, we still can't be negligent. Most of Di Lin's retinue guards are good hands, and I heard that he himself is also a first-class master, and his combat power should not be underestimated. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Governor-General does not want the matter to be too alarmed, so it is best for us to avoid Central Street. ”

Luo Minghai, who was immersed in excitement, did not listen to Lindy's words. He couldn't wait to discuss with Lindy the details of the start, where to set up an ambush, how to arrange people to block traffic, how to arrange the ambush, and how to suddenly kill to achieve the best effect.

During the discussion, Lin Di believed that Luo Minghai should be at the scene in person. After all, Di Lin was the chief inspector of the family, and once he held a sword in his hand, he resisted strongly. Shouting insults is likely to sway your subordinates. Luo Minghai was personally present to sit in charge, so that he could hold down the position, and in this way, he could also avoid other passing soldiers and horses who did not know the truth from interfering in this ambush. Of course, he has an inconvenient reason to say: Luo Minghai was present in person, and the world can justifiably believe that this incident is indeed a personal grudge between the chief inspector and the president. There is no other conspiracy.

Luo Minghai happily agreed. Because he also wanted to see this great enemy of his life die—if he could stab him a few times with his own hands, it would be even more complete!

In order not to alarm the eyes and ears of the Emperor everywhere, the people involved in the action must be absolutely reliable and not too alarming. Fortunately, as the president of the family, Luo Minghai has a convenience, he can transfer his cronies from various units in the name of training, training, rotation, and business trips, and quietly complete the assembly of troops. ”

"My lord," Lin Di Mao recommended himself, "the lower officer has returned with more than fifty cavalry. They are all veterans of me for many years, they have experience in fighting, and they are all reliable. If you can help the adults, it will be the honor of the lower officials. "My lord," said Lindy Mao, "the lower officer has returned with more than fifty cavalry. They are all veterans of me for many years, they have experience in fighting, and they are all reliable. If you can help the adults, it will be the honor of the lower officials. ”

In Luo Minghai's view, in terms of manpower. His death squad of more than 300 people is already abundant enough, and not only is it unnecessary to join a new group of outsiders, but there is also a risk of leaking secrets. But Lindy is the person sent by the chief to assist him, and there is a faint smell of supervising the army, and it would be a bit disrespectful if he refuses him.

He agreed to Lindy, but arranged for Lindy's subordinates to be on guard on the perimeter, responsible for clearing the field and intercepting Dillin's reinforcements. Lindy agreed without hesitation, and said respectfully, "My lord, the great revenge is about to be avenged." Congratulations first. ”

"Huh." Luo Minghai laughed dryly. Indeed, as Lin Di said, the intelligence is accurate, the situation is favorable, and Di Lin Fu Zhu seems that it is a matter of nine out of ten, and the revenge will be avenged in a few years. But for some reason, in his heart, there was no joy of revenge, but a sense of loss.

What will happen to the Zichuan family that loses Dilin?

※※※

December 30, 785. Late at night.

The guards who stood up straight saluted the people who were coming out: "Your Highness! My lord! ”

After the report was over, the chief Zichuan Shenxing actually sent him to the gate, which surprised Di Lin. This treatment has not been seen for a long time since he became Inspector General.

During tonight's meeting, the chief executive showed him a rare and honest attitude. ”

"I'm old, this burden is too heavy, I can't hold on anymore. A-Ning will soon take over, and this matter will be announced at the senate meeting after the New Year. ”

As the most powerful person in the family who is about to retire behind the scenes, Zichuan Shenxing's frank attitude tonight is shocking. Considering his intentions, Di Lin said respectfully, "Your Highness, you are serious. Your Highness, your spirit is still very good. According to Weichen, there is no problem in persevering for a few more years. Your Highness, you are at the helm of our family, and what can we do without you in the family! ”

Zichuan Shenxing smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old, I'm old, I know my own affairs." It is said that one generation is in charge of the affairs of the next, and the future world still depends on you young people, but I, a person who is about to enter the soil with half my body, is really a little relieved. A-Ning is still young, and she still needs to exercise and study. She needs someone to help her with a lot of things. But...... Alas, Sterling, how do you let me say good about this man! At this time, he put the burden on me, and his resignation report was put here for me, and I said that he would not take it back. As soon as Sterling left, the family was even more short of manpower. Di Lin, your burden will be heavier in the future, A-Ning wants to ask you more. ”

Di Lin was terrified, and then his heart was happy. He hurriedly humbled himself, saying that he was still young and shallow, and he usually acted rashly, and there were many shortcomings, so he really didn't dare to bear this heavy responsibility. Then he changed his tone and said that he had received two generations of national favors, and as long as the new chief did not dislike his ugliness, he would naturally do his best to continue to serve the family.

Zichuan Shenxing stared at him deeply, with something in his eyes that Di Lin couldn't figure out. After a long time, the chief sighed deeply, patted Di Lin's shoulder, and said slowly: "Take Lin, you and I have a career, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end." Tonight, I'm afraid it's the last time you'll report to me. In the past few years, you have worked hard. The contribution to the family is also very large, and the family is looking at these. We won't forget that A-Ning has promised me that she will treat Lin Xiujia and Xiao Didi well. ”

He hugged Di Lin and whispered, "The family thanks you, and I, the old man, also thank you." Really, thank you. ”

There was light snow in the sky. The moonlight is dim. In the lonely and empty streets, the convoy drove unhurriedly, and the sign of the cross of the sword and shield on the carriage was very conspicuous. In the middle of the car, the dim wind lamps swayed rhythmically, the cold wind swished in through the cracks in the door, and the shadows of the plane trees beside the road were reflected in the car.

Di Lin closed his eyes and rested in his seat, a wisp of hair covering his forehead, and the Inspector General was still reminiscing about the shocking news he had just received.

The chief retired, and Zi Chuanning was about to take over.

The heads of the various forces on the mainland have their own distinctive personal characteristics, and Zichuan Shenxing is a cunning fox. Flowing Wind and Frost is a fierce tiger. Lin Rui is a lurking cobra, and Zi Chuanning is- what is it? A white rabbit wearing a helmet and a full body of armor?

Di Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head. For the incoming head of the family, he does not have a very high evaluation. Under her uncle's words and deeds, she also wants to imitate her uncle's weightless manipulation of the situation, but unfortunately lacks the wisdom precipitated by years and experience; And because there is already a female overlord on the mainland, Zi Chuanning also envies the other party's demeanor, but unfortunately, she does not have the prestige that has accumulated through countless military exploits, she learns cunning and toughness at the same time, the two styles are mixed, and the effect is ...... Hey.

Dillin thinks. Compared with being the chief executive, Zi Chuanning's career is more suitable to star in youth idol dramas, and it is best to play the kind of aspiring girl who often suffers setbacks and grows every day. I'm going to work hard! "The little girl has a bad future!

In the next few years, the chief minister will nominally retire, but secretly he must still be manipulating the situation, but Sterling's resignation has disappointed Dilin, what is this second brother in the prime of life thinking? Missing him. He lacked a strong ally in the military, and there was no one to help him contain Luo Minghai in the command, so he still had to find a way to persuade him to withdraw his resignation......

"Bang!" The car paused and slowly stopped. Di Lin woke up from his contemplation and looked up through the car window, only to see the plane trees on the side of the street.

He looked at the sign: Daya West Road Street.

"What's going on? Why did the car stop? ”

A guard officer ran to the window: "My lord, the commander of the department has set up a checkpoint in front to block our way." Now, the leading car is negotiating with them, and it should be there soon. ”

"Less governance?" Di Lin probe looked out of the car window, the street in front of him was flickering with lights, and there were indeed many uniformed figures carrying lanterns shaking, and the red, white and blue police lights unique to the Ministry of Justice were hanging high in the heights. The sound of the quarrel came from the front, and the gendarmes were arguing with a group of young policemen in blue coats.

Di Lin said lightly: "The ruler is becoming more and more unpresentable, and he dares to stop our car?" You go and take a look and write down the name of the person they are leading the group. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The officer saluted and hurried forward.

Di Lin watched his back melt into the lamplight, a cold wind blew, the plane trees on both sides of the street were blown to a rattle, and a leaf floated leisurely in front of the window and fell in front of Di Lin's eyes.

Looking at the trajectory of the falling leaf, Di Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, his body trembled slightly, and his heart suddenly felt a danger - this animal-like sharp intuition had saved him many times in life and death.

In an instant, a series of things flashed through his mind like lightning, the convoy was intercepted, the flashing police lights in front of him, Luo Minghai was speechless and intimidated himself at the meeting that day, and the chief hurriedly interrupted him at that time, and the panic in his eyes flashed for a moment, and the chief secretary's meaningful conversation tonight - a large series of seemingly inconsequential little things, but at this moment, they were strung together like a ghost, and the cold hairs on Di Lin's body stood up: the traces were already so obvious, and he was so dull that he didn't notice it at all?

Now, he could clearly feel that the killing machine was already rippling in the air, so thick that it was like the stench of a dead man's corpse!

Di Lin glanced at the dark sides of the street, smiled lightly, and closed the window.

At the front of the convoy, the military police guards of the Supervision Office were angrily yelling at the young policemen of the Ministry of Public Inspection. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't been ordered yet, they would have been fighting a lot. They are indignant and puzzled: the police usually see them as if they were ghosts. How could you be so bold tonight to intercept the Inspector General's convoy?

"Boy, if you don't move the barricades at once," the gendarmerie officer threatened, "you will wait for twenty years in prison!" Military prisons won't joke with you! ”

The policemen dodged behind the barricades. The officer nodded and smiled: "Sir, you are angry, sir, you are angry...... We're doing what we're told...... Everyone is eating public dinner, sir, it's not easy for you to understand us, the boss is going to be here, do we dare not listen? It's very difficult...... Let's keep a close inventory of the vehicles coming and going. No one can let it go...... We let you go, and you'll have to lose your job when you go back......"

No matter how angry the gendarmes yelled, the policemen just didn't get angry, they were like a piece of chewed gum, wet and sticky, no matter how the gendarmes scolded or even slapped twice, they didn't get angry, they said good things with smiling faces, but they just wouldn't give way.

The gendarmes were furious. It's just that Di Lin hasn't given the order yet, and they don't dare to do it yet.

They also wondered: after being delayed for so long, why didn't the Inspector General give the order to do it?

Stalemate. Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night sky: "Didi! ”

The officer smiled and shouted, "Do it!" ”

Sudden change!

With a bang, the policemen pulled out their hidden knives. Swinging the knife, for a while, the knife was shining, blood was splashing, and the sharp blade slashed into the flesh and bones, and the screams and screams sounded intensively. At this time, the police, where are they still half afraid to dodge!

"Enemy attack!" The officer in front of the car realized that something was wrong, and he shouted, "They are assassins pretending to be the commanders!" Counter ......"

Before he could finish speaking, several long knives stabbed into his soft body at the same time, blood gushing out and choking his throat. His body fell to the ground heavily, and the blood stained the snow on the ground scarlet.

"Kill the national thief! Oh my! Shouting slogans, the Assassins in police uniforms leapt over the barricade like wolves, crushing the guards, the leading carriage guards, and quickly charging towards the middle of the convoy, a flash of swords and countless swift footsteps kicking the snowflakes on the ground to the ground.

Before the eight guards of the second carriage could get out of the carriage, the Assassins blocked the door of the carriage, and a powerful Assassin clasped the sliding door of the carriage. Tie them to death with iron branches. When the guards in the carriage were still desperately slamming on the door, there was a series of rapid sounds of "boom, pop, boom......", and more than a dozen stabbing guns pierced the partition of the carriage from all directions, piercing them in half.

There was nowhere to hide in the narrow carriage, and the desperate screams and cries of the men echoed in the dark carriage, and the ghosts cried wolf-like howls, making everyone who heard them feel that the roots of their teeth were sour, but the assassins did not hear it, they stood in a circle around the carriage, and the bayonet guns in their hands were stabbed towards the carriage with all their might, and the spears drawn were all stained scarlet, and the sticky blood splashed on the snow; Then, again, the Assassins stabbed together, and again...... Until there was no more sound in the carriage.

Before the Assassins could rush over, four of the seven guards in the third carriage had already emerged from the carriage, including the officer who led the carriage. Listening to the screams and shouts in front of him, as well as the shadowy figure rushing towards this side, the officer's face immediately changed, and he quickly shouted: "All winded!" Shoot! ”

In a hurry, only two or two gendarmes had time to load their arrows onto their crossbows. They didn't have time to aim, and in front of the rushing crowd, they pulled the crossbow machine.

"Flutter, flutter!" There were a few sharp and rapid winds, and the four Assassins fell.

The gendarmes didn't have time to wind up again, and the remaining assassins had already pounced in front of them, and they had to throw their crossbows on the spot and draw their sabers from their waists to fight, but there were too many enemies, and several gendarmes were like a few leaves in the sea in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, they were cut into a blur of flesh and blood by the random knives, and fell in a pool of blood.

In the fluttering snowflakes, "Heaven damns! Oh my! The low shout was like thunder. Echoing through the streets. Eliminating the guards of the carriages ahead, the Assassins flooded into the middle of the convoy. But the desperate resistance of the guards in front was not in vain, the alarm of the "enemy attack" had reached the middle of the convoy, and they exchanged their lives for their comrades to prepare for time.

With the fourth carriage as a cover, more than twenty guards have already assembled in formation. A grim-faced gendarmerie officer stood in the driver's seat and watched. Looking at the figure surging in front of him, angry flames erupted from his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Aim!" Shoot me! Kill this group of rebels! ”

It was a very powerful blow, and the Assassins had just rushed through the barricades. A dense barrage of crossbow arrows flew in front of them, knocking them down several at once, and the rain of arrows hit them so hard that the remnants of the assassins shouted in fright, "They have crossbow machines, hide ......" and turned around and ran back, but they were immediately cut to the ground.

A fierce voice came from the darkness behind: "Your Excellency has an order, kill Di Lin, and everyone will be rewarded!" Greedy for life and afraid of death. Those who cower will be killed! Give it to me! With that order, more Assassins in blue uniforms pounced from the darkness and rushed towards the convoy.

Relying on the fourth carriage, the gendarmes formed a line of wires, skillfully wound and shot the lightly armed crossbows. Five more saber-armed gendarmes stood at the forefront, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The enemy appeared one after another, shot down a group, and immediately another group pounced on him from the darkness. The Assassins had also learned to be shrewd, and no longer rushed out straight and straight as targets. They pushed the wagons in front of them as mobile shields, approaching step by step. Armed with bayonets and machetes, the Assassins hid behind the carriage and rushed out to fight a hand-to-hand fight as soon as they approached.

Watching the enemy hide behind the carriage and get closer and closer, the officer in command was so nervous that he was sweating. He shouted to his subordinates: "Don't be afraid, your lordship will send us reinforcements soon!" We still have people in the back! ”

Before the words fell, an earth-shattering shout of killing sounded behind him. The officer turned around in shock, and he saw a shocking scene, every door on both sides of the street opened, and countless black-clad killers with sharp blades poured out of it. The Assassins shouted, "Hell! Exterminate the thief! The slogan was killed from both sides of the road towards the convoy in the middle, and the convoy of the Long Snake Formation was cut into several sections by them in the blink of an eye. For a moment, only one thought crossed the officer's mind: "It's over!" In desperation, he shouted angrily: "Kill all the rebels." Follow me, brethren! "Facing the rushing assassins, the gendarmes roared angrily and met them instead, they were so close that they almost put their arrows close to the enemy's head, and when they shot all the arrows in the crossbow machine, they used the crossbow machine weighing more than ten pounds as a hammer, and smashed the enemy's head until their brains were shattered, and then they were cut down by the knife......

The ambush soldiers on both sides suddenly came out, and the entire convoy was plunged into a bloody melee. The two sides engaged in a fierce fight, and screams and wails rang out intensively. Rounds of red or multicolored fireworks burst high in the air, and the Ombudsman called for reinforcements.

With the carriage that Dilin was riding in, the gendarmes surrounded several carriages to form an improvised defensive position. But the enemy's attack came too quickly, and before the gendarmes could set up their positions as they had done in the exercise, more than a dozen masked killers had already pounced in, followed by dozens, hundreds of black-clad killers.

In the narrow corridor between the carriages, the swords were bright, the sonorous sound of weapons colliding was like a loud sound, and the screams continued one after another, one after another human bodies fell heavily, and the dying man was screaming in a low voice. A large amount of blood bloomed densely on the blue stone slabs of the street like bright flowers, one after another, and finally gathered into a pool of blood, which was trampled on by the fast-moving leather boots and splashed all over the ground.

Goya, an officer of the Inspectorate, who killed four assassins with his own hands and wounded five wounded, still insisted on fighting on the front line. Exhausted by the time he faced the fifth Assassin, he knocked his weapon flying with a single sword. Looking at the long sword raised by the other party, Goya could only close his eyes and wait for death, but at this time, a firework happened to bloom in the air, and in an instant, Goya's face was clearly illuminated under the fireworks, and for some reason, the other party suddenly stopped.

Seeing the opportunity, Goya suddenly pulled out the talisman dagger and rushed into the other party's arms, only to hear the other party scream: "No! Goya had already stabbed the opponent in the ribs three times like a whirlwind, until the opponent's body slowly collapsed. It was only at this time that he realized that something was wrong, and quickly took off the other party's mask, and what caught his eye was his brother's miserable face. Holding his brother's corpse, Goya collapsed on the spot, and was effortlessly hacked to death by the two Assassins who followed, and the two brothers' bodies were stacked on top of each other, and the blood flowed from which it was impossible to tell whose it was.

The tragedy is not the only one, on the street of Daya West Road in the middle of the night on December 30, many people on both sides of the fight are acquaintances, even friends and relatives. But in that dark street, in that cold sword light, the murderer was killed immediately, the flesh and blood brothers faced each other, and the blood relatives killed each other. Flesh and blood killed each other, and the brothers Yan Wall, as if the heavens couldn't bear to witness this tragedy, quietly closed their eyes.

That night, there were no stars, no moon, and black clouds covered the sky, and only snowflakes fell.

The fight was brutal, but it didn't last long. After ten minutes, the sound of fighting gradually thinned out, and the fighting and slashing everywhere gradually subsided. The more than 100 gendarmes guarding the guards were all wiped out, and in the heart of the fiercest fighting, in the corridor where the carriage defense array could not be built, the corpses of the guards and assassins were one by one, blocking the corridor so tightly that it could not be passed, and the blood gushed into a terrible river, which flowed quietly in the streets until it was frozen into blood clots, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
