Chapter Seventy-One: Breaking into the Mingde Pavilion at Night (2)
Luo Shiyin summoned the team members to his room for discussion, mainly to listen to him emphasize some operational discipline and arrange the next action, including the following points:
First, in this royal capital, all team members are not allowed to act without his orders;
For this, Luo Shiyin should not say much. Since the establishment of the Jinyi Guard, it has long been an iron law that its subordinate members must absolutely obey the orders of their superiors. However, in the current special environment, especially in the squad, there are impulsive members like Shi Tianji, Luo Shiyin feels that it is still necessary to reiterate this discipline.
Second, after the meeting, except for Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, the others immediately went out to take advantage of the large number of people on the street to familiarize themselves with the environment around the inn;
Third, after the meeting, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu immediately began to prepare, and after the end of the day, they went to the Mingde Pavilion together to spy on the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard command yamen in North Korea, and chose the opportunity to leave a contact signal for the Jinyi Guard in the city.
The reason why Luo Shiyin made such an arrangement was after careful consideration.
Before the detachment set out from Beijing, Luo Shiyin had already informed several major leaders of the Jinyiwei stationed in the DPRK through secret channels, telling them that after the detachment entered the DPRK, it was very likely that they would rush to Wangjing.
The Jinyi Guard command yamen in Wang Jingcheng must have been empty for a long time. But since the Jinyi guards in the city were aware of his arrival, they would definitely not completely stay away from the North Korean Jinyi guards commanding the yamen.
Jinyiwei has a unique set of contact methods, and sent Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu to go, the purpose is to get in touch with other Jinyiwei in the city as soon as possible.
But is this happening to the enemy? Luo Shiyin also has full consideration for this.
Obviously, the enemy deliberately put a small detachment into the city, the purpose of which was to find out the Jinyi guards hiding in the shadows in the city.
The team is not in contact with the Jinyi guards in the city, and they may be safer. However, Luo Shiyin's trip to Wang Jing, in addition to completing the reconnaissance of the garrison of the Japanese army in the city, there are some urgent matters that must be completed through the Jinyi guards in the city.
The small detachment he led had been in Korea for several months, and he had to write down the enemy situation in Korea that he had learned from reconnaissance as soon as possible and submit it directly to Emperor Shenzong.
In the current territory of North Korea, only the Jinyi guard in Wangjing City can help him with this important task.
In terms of ensuring safety and completing the task, Luo Shiyin does not think that they are a dilemma, everything is man-made, and he is full of confidence in himself and the group of Ming brocade guards under him.
Returning to her apartment from Ichiro Sugitani, Mieko Kato sat weakly in her chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Although she had long been accustomed to selling her hue in order to complete the task, this time, she felt a little ashamed.
After seeing Shi Lang at Yingshuyi, there was a trace of fluctuation in her heart for the first time, which was unprecedented for her.
"Is this what is called love at first sight?" Mieko Kato sat in her chair and sorted out her thoughts, "Impossible. It's a joke that a woman like herself can still be tempted by a man at first sight! Mieko Kato immediately dismissed her absurd idea.
She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and continued to think about and analyze her psychological changes.
Mieko Kato has long been accustomed to completing tasks by selling her hue or even her body, and she has never felt embarrassed before. But this time, when she walked out after getting dressed and saw Shi Lang, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame in her heart.
On the way back to Wang Jingcheng, she even had doubts about her past, and an inexplicable resentment arose from the bottom of her heart. Hate Yoshino, the hateful man who took away his virginity? Hate yourself for being unruly in the past? Hate your own twisted mind? Hate......
Mieko Kato couldn't tell what was wrong with her for a while. She let out a long sigh and returned to her chair, where she sat back in a daze.
Michiko Kato had just finished washing up in the yard when she returned to the house and prepared to go to bed.
Seeing her sister, who lived in the same room with her, sitting on a chair in a daze, as if she had something on her mind, Michiko Kato walked over.
"Keiko, what are you in a daze? Don't hurry up and go to bed yet. Michiko stepped forward and put her arms around her sister's shoulders.
"Sister, why do you think we were born in this remote and small country?" Mieko didn't seem to be able to get out of her thoughts, and she asked faintly.
"What's wrong? Keiko. Why did you suddenly ask such a strange thing? Seeing that her sister's mood was a little strange, Michiko hurriedly sat on the bed, looked into Mieko's eyes and asked.
Seeing that her sister was looking at her fixedly, Mieko immediately stretched her waist in disguise and said, "It's nothing, just talk about it." Then he got up and went to the bath.
After Mieko washes up, she lies on the bed, but she always has trouble falling asleep after tossing and turning. The face of the handsome man she saw at Yingshuyi during the day always flashed in front of her eyes.
What a handsome, handsome and sunny face it was! It is in stark contrast to Yoshino's hypocritical and ugly face. Could it be that he is what Yoshino said about Shi Lang?
When she saw Shi Lang for the first time, Mieko Kato's girl's heart, which had long been closed and distorted, seemed to be suddenly illuminated by a ray of sunlight to open a gap, and then it was closed by the cruel reality. Yes, with his current identity and current situation, how can he be worthy of such an excellent man?
"Keiko, what's wrong with you? If you have something in your heart, tell your sister. Michiko noticed that her sister was a little abnormal, so she asked.
Mieko didn't answer her sister's question, and after staying for a while, she said, "Sister, you say, what would it be like if we were born in Daming?" ”
"Keiko, don't talk nonsense, if you let the team leader and the chairman know about this, you will be punished."
"I'm just going to talk to you as you like!" Mieko was a little unimpressed.
"Alright, let's go to bed!" Michiko didn't want to talk to her sister about it anymore.
"Okay."
The sisters were just about to go to sleep when they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then Yoshino's shout came from outside the door: "Hurry up, there is action tonight." ”
Just after the hour, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, wearing black thorn suits and black hoods, sneaked out of the window of the room of the Tongfu Inn, lifted their bodies lightly, and jumped onto the roof. Then, one after the other, the two of them performed the night light skill of jumping over the ridge of the house, and marched towards the location of the Mingde Pavilion where the Ming Jinyi Guard, the command yamen of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, was located.
At this time, in Wangjing City, all kinds of shops and shops have been closed. There were few pedestrians in the dark streets, only the sound of the watchman, drifting weakly in the night sky with the night wind.
The reason why Luo Shiyin sent Shi Lang to Mingde Hall was mainly because among the several subordinates who accompanied him, only Shi Lang was familiar with the terrain in Wangjing City, because Shi Lang had come to Wangjing once a few years ago to investigate a case.
It took about a quarter of an hour for Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu to come to a roof in front of the main entrance of the Mingde Pavilion.
It is a two-storey building modeled after the architectural style of the Daimyo, and the roof ridge on the top floor is lined with dragons, phoenixes, lions, tengasus, seahorses, sinisters, apfish, pigs, bullfights, and other roof beasts.
The two of them lay prone behind the roof beast, and by the bright moonlight, they carefully observed the Ming brocade guards in front of them to command the yamen in North Korea.
The familiar plaque in front of the door, symbolizing the supreme majesty of the brocade guard, has long been gone, and only the two stone lions on both sides of the gate that are still majestic and majestic can more or less remind people of the majesty and solemnity of the past.
On the south side of the courtyard of the Myeongdeok Pavilion, near the courtyard wall, there is a row of tall Korean green poplars, which are thick and straight. Beneath these trees, there are various trap trenches, which have caused many spies to suffer a lot.
Shi Lang still clearly remembers that when he went to the Mingde Pavilion to handle the case, the general flag commander here explained to him the scene of the organ under the tree. At that time, Shi Lang was amazed after watching it, and praised the personnel stationed in the Jinyi Guard Yamen in North Korea for their superb skills and ingenuity in setting up this organ.
After Shi Lang returned to China after handling the case, he specially presented the drawings of the secret trench set up by the Jinyi Guard organ stationed in North Korea to Luo Shiyin, the commander of the case.
After Luo Shiyin saw it, he praised it greatly, and ordered on the spot to order the various Jinyi guards stationed in foreign countries to command the yamen to imitate and set up.
Nowadays, jackdaws have long nested on the tall green poplar trees, and the ground under the trees where the traps used to be set up is waist-high with wild grass, and has become a deserted place infested with insects, snakes, mouses, and hares.
Although the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, the stone corridor connecting the courtyard gate and the main house is still clearly visible. Except for this slightly neat stone road, the whole yard looks disorganized.
This is still the neat and solemn Ming brocade guard stationed in North Korea to command the yamen!
Shi Lang looked at the depressed scene of the courtyard in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.
"Brother Shi Lang, you see, there is a situation." Ye Ruliu pointed to the courtyard of the Mingde Pavilion and whispered to Shi Lang.
Shi Lang looked in the direction of Ye Ruliu's finger, and sure enough, he found that in the hidden corners of the Mingde Pavilion, a number of suspicious figures faintly appeared, and the figure made full use of the dim light in the shadows to shrink his body into a ball, so as to maximize the body close to the ground, so as to achieve the purpose of stealth.
If it weren't for a master like Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang, a brocade guard who had been specially trained in night vision, it would be really difficult to find the invisible person in the courtyard in this night.
"It's a Japanese ninja. There is a stealth technique in ninja ninjutsu called "quail shrinkage", which allows them to shrink their entire body into a quail-like mass to achieve the purpose of invisibility. Ye Ruliu whispered in Shi Lang's ear.
When Ye Ruliu organized the anti-Japanese war on the southeast coast, he had seen this stealth technique of the Japanese ninjas.
"Let's go, let's enter the courtyard from the main house on the north side of the Mingde Pavilion and compare with them." After Shi Lang finished speaking, the two of them immediately followed the sink of the house, gently descended to the ground, and then bypassed the gate of the Mingde Pavilion against the corner of the wall, and came to the wall of the main house on the north side of the Mingde Pavilion.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu threw their flying claws, quickly climbed to the roof, looked down at the courtyard, and then, holding hands, jumped from the roof and landed on the stone road in the courtyard.
"Slaves, don't hide, don't come out and die!" The two fell to the ground and stood firm, Shi Lang shouted.
