Gyeonggi Province, Anhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan sat on the dragon chair, looking at the kneeling cabinet first assistant Li Xianlai, second assistant Laisi, and Wang Yongwen, the head of the military department. The three of them had just felt the anger of His Majesty the Emperor, because just before the early dynasty, the shadow guard had sent some not-so-good news.

It is related to the Blood Knife Gate, which has been active in Huaxi Road, and according to the investigation of the Shadow Guard, the Blood Knife Gate is likely to be related to An Liguo in the north.

In order to investigate the truth, Shadow Thirteen appeared around the Blood Knife Gate's activity site every day to observe their movements. After half a month of follow-up investigation, Shadow Thirteen discovered that one of the leaders of the Blood Knife Sect always had frequent contact with a man named Wei Gang. However, Wei Gang would go to a place called Caiyuan Inn to eat every five days, and this was not the place that made Ying Thirteen most suspicious. Wei Gang usually dresses no different from ordinary people, the key is to be idle all day long, there is no job, such a poor person eats a restaurant every day is a suspicious point. Therefore, Ying 13 spent some effort investigating this Wei Gang, and found out that he had contact with an An Liguo secret agent monitored by the Huaxi Dao Inspectorate. Immediately and the Huaxi Provincial Inspectorate jointly arrested him, through interrogation, it was learned that the two were both An Liguo's spies, from the northern border city of Dahua in the eleventh year of the year into Jiuchang County, North China Province, and then transferred to Huaxi Road to contact their own upline. And there were as many as 100 people who came in with them, and these people were all secret spy elites who were mixed in the middle of the flying horses at that time.

The two of them basically didn't know anything about other information, and each time except for exchanging some small intelligence information, the two of them had not participated in any other major operations. As for the Blood Knife Gate, they only knew that it was An Liguo's organization, but they really didn't know where the organization was stationed and who would lead it.

There is also earth-shattering news, and it is this news that makes Emperor Zhu Chengyuan so angry. That is, these agents of An Liguo all entered Huaguo from the same place and in the same way in the same year, that is, thirteen years ago, that is, in the eleventh year of Dahua, when the Anritsu flying cavalry that shocked the government and the opposition invaded northern Xinjiang.

One morning in the 11th year of Dahua, Tang Shuwei, who was riding in the northern frontier, received a report from his scouts that an army of An Liguo was galloping towards the border city. At that time, Tang Shuwei, who was already the general of the Zhengyipin Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately responded, ordering the left forward Lu Dashan to lead a thousand cavalry to follow closely to see what they wanted to do.

Since the spring of the tenth year of Dahua, Anli Feiqi will go to the border city every once in a while, but every time he sees the iron cavalry of the northern frontier of Huaguo, he will run, and never make direct contact with it, unless he is ambushed or caught up. It is precisely because of this that the scouts of the Northern Iron Cavalry have become accustomed to their behavior, and even sometimes they do not panic when they see them, because the Anritsu Flying Cavalry never chases them, and it seems that they have no interest in the Northern Frontier Scouts. If it weren't for the fact that this was a frontier, the scouts wouldn't even report to the general, but the Anritsu people would have come too often.

That morning was the same as usual, Lu Dashan led a thousand horsemen and horses out of the city quickly, but after chasing and chasing, there was no trace of the other party, just when everyone was about to turn their horses and return to the city, suddenly from the flank a mile away to kill a team of flying horses, Lu Dashan and the soldiers held back for nearly a year, and now there is a chance to compete with Anli flying horses, how can they easily let go. When the two sides came into contact and fought, Lu Dashan felt that something was wrong, and the Anli flying horse, which seemed to be a thousand horses, couldn't be killed. The yellow sand around is flying, too far away and can't see clearly, can only stubbornly continue to rush forward to kill, and finally after killing through the enemy camp, I found that the other party is far more than a thousand horsemen, the number reaches an astonishing number of ten thousand horsemen, but the process of marching used a blinding method, so that Lu Dashan misjudged, mistakenly thought that the number of enemy troops is not much, in fact, the opponent's iron cavalry stretches for several miles, because of the angle problem they can't see.

Lü Dashan immediately ordered a thousand iron cavalry to retreat to the flank, and at the same time ordered the scouts to hurry up and return to the city to report to the general Tang Shuwei. However, the Anli people had already expected this, and intercepted and killed eight scouts returning to the city in a row on the way, cutting off the support of Lu Dashan and the soldiers. His own soldiers escorted Lu Dashan all the way to the city gate, and the soldiers on the city gate immediately ordered the city gate to be opened as soon as they saw that it was their own master who would return to the city.

But at some point, forty or fifty Anli people were mixed in among the Huaguo soldiers who followed Lu Dashan, and they were wearing the combat uniforms of the Huaguo Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, and no one saw anything unusual. The moment they entered the city gate, these forty or fifty people immediately rushed forward to hold Lu Dashan hostage, and at the same time guarded the city gate, waiting for the arrival of An Lifeiqi.

At that time, when Lu Da saw this situation, he knew that if he didn't get out of the knife edge, maybe the flying horses of the Anli people would step through the gate of the city. He had a heart, he couldn't harm the people in the city because of himself, and he turned around and wanted to kill the Anli people who held him hostage, but the knife was on his neck, and he didn't give him a chance at all, and the sword ended up as General Lu, who had been fighting for half his life. After that, these forty or fifty people disregarded life and death, desperately resisted the crazy attack of the Chinese defenders, until An Lifei rode in, and the city gate was lost, and there was an incident of An Lifei cavalry invading northern Xinjiang in the eleventh year of Dahua.

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan looked at the three people who were still kneeling below and said, "Do you know why An Lifei rode into the city at that time and didn't fall in love after entering the city, and went directly into the depths of North China Dao?" ”

None of the three of His Highness dared to squeak, because they all knew that His Majesty was really angry this time.

The emperor continued: "At that time, Tang Shuwei's recital said that for some reason, Anli Feicai fought desperately into the border city of our northern frontier, dozens of miles deep, and was annihilated by our army's iron cavalry. The emperor threw the envelope in front of the three of them and continued: "At that time, I also commended the generals of the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, and ordered the army to be rewarded for one day. But do you know what the shadow guard found out half a month ago? ”

The head of the military department raised his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and it is not worth it to be angry." ”

Zhu Chengyuan glanced at him and said, "Give it all to me, I'll tell you why!" ”

After the three of them got up, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan cleared his throat and said: "According to the news from the shadow guard, at that time, the flying cavalry of nearly a thousand people desperately entered the city, just to cover the entry of a hundred Anli State secret spies into our territory. And outside the city at that time, there were also 200,000 Anritsu flying horses, which fought with our army for a month, also for the purpose of confusing us and buying time for their spies to be legalized. I was worried about the people, and encouraged them to move to the rear. But who knows that these Anli spies who are fishing in troubled waters, some of them find a place to live nearby, buy a legal identity with silver, or directly apply for a fake road guide, flee to a neighboring county to settle down, and have lived to this day. The most terrible thing is that even more so, they move around with the fleeing refugees and go to a new place to apply for an identity certificate that conforms to the laws of Dahua, because they are refugees, our country is relatively relaxed, because I don't want to chill the hearts of those refugees. However, they have now become the biggest hidden danger within our country, and once a war starts, there will be a scene of internal and external troubles in our country. ”

After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, the three of them couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines, how ruthless the people who planned this conspiracy at that time were in An Liguo, using the lives of thousands of people, just to install a hundred secret spies, if they said that they didn't have any big plans, no one would believe it.

Li Xianlai, the first assistant of the cabinet, bowed his head and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suspects that they must have made a big move when they jumped out recently, otherwise the secret spies that cost thousands of lives back then would not have been activated so easily." ”

Zhu Chengyuan nodded and looked at Wang Yongwen, the head of the Ministry of War, and said, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Wang Yongwen hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen feels that General Tang should immediately be asked to strengthen the deployment of the northern frontier, and send more scouts out of the city to observe the movements of the enemy army." In addition, the minister thinks that he can use my Dahua's secret spy in Anliguo. ”

Li Xianlai looked at Wang Yongwen with a puzzled expression, he didn't know about it.

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan said to Li Xianlai and Lai Si: "Ten years ago, I, Wang Yongwen and Huangfu Leng planted secret spies in the countries around us, and the specific number of personnel was only known to Huangfu Leng, not even I, so don't ask me why." ”

The two ministers of the cabinet felt a little incredible, His Majesty thought of this step ten years ago, and this was indeed not something that they could think of.

At this time, Lai Si stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you inform the Emperor Fu of this, and the case he is investigating now should also be related to the secret spies of the Anritsu people. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "The shadow guard has already conveyed it, and it is estimated that the news should also be delivered in the next two days." I hope that this time Huangfu Leng can continue his myth and return the people of China to a bright future. ”

In a col in the Qishan Mountain Range, Ye Chen and Huangfu Leng were carefully checking every detail, hoping to find out where another group of people and materials were going through clues, but after wandering around for a long time, they didn't see anything found by these two people! After a while, the brother named Haizi ran to Huangfu Leng's side and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, those people have been controlled by General Lin, and there are all kinds of people in them, but there are no young adults who can fight." ”

Huangfu clapped his hands coldly and said to Ye Chen: "Sure enough, what kind of people are these people, who can leave women, children, old and young and run away on their own." ”

Ye Chen also looked at Haizi suspiciously and said, "Unless these people have nothing to do with them, they were arrested to cover their identities." ”

Huangfu shook his head coldly and said, "I don't know, let's go meet them, Haizi will lead the way." ”

Immediately, the two followed Haizi to the slope, and after a while, they saw Lin Zhijiang leading people to stand there and interrogate these people, Huangfu Leng and Ye Chen stepped forward and asked, "General Lin, how is it?" ”

Lin Zhijiang's face was very unsightly, and he replied: "According to these people's confessions, the men in their family have all left, pressing a batch of things and going in the other direction, leaving only them to set off to the place agreed in advance with their clothes, and meet there half a month later." ”

Ye Chen said: "What does the general mean that these people are their family members, and those brutes abandoned their wives and children at the critical moment?" ”

Lin Zhijiang replied: "It's their family members, but I asked carefully, there are no biological parents here, and the old people are the fathers and mothers of these women." ”

Huangfu Leng seemed to have captured something, but he couldn't say it for a while. After a long time, Huangfu said coldly: "I think this group of people is not just an assassination organization in the rivers and lakes, this Blood Knife Gate is likely to be just a front for them, and although the conspiracy behind it is unknown now, according to my experience, it must not be a trivial matter." ”
