Chapter 113: Secret War

At this time, the square was already full of slaves, in front of the ancestral throne of the Li family, there were a total of fifty-seven rows, each row was about two hundred people, all of them were kings of various countries, and after them, they were their subjects, arranged in order of status, the lowest row also had more than a hundred people, and the largest row even exceeded five hundred.

The square is crowded with people, at least tens of thousands (the area around the temple is not large, and tens of thousands of people can be squeezed in is already the limit), everyone looked at the square with excitement, listened to the singer read the sins of these countries, and was infinitely excited and proud in their hearts - to gather all the kings of the defeated countries together, such a feat is only the Tang Dynasty, and only the Tang Dynasty can do such a bold thing.

However, no one knows that in this ordinary crowd that no one will pay attention to, there are two special kinds of people mixed together.

The first is a spy sent by the imperial court or Li Zhen to hide around and be responsible for secretly maintaining order.

The other, not to mention, is naturally guarded against by the spies, those villains who intend to sabotage or even assassinate.

The two sides used this dense crowd as a battlefield to launch a tragic struggle that ordinary people could not perceive, although such a struggle was not as open as the real battlefield, but in fact it was more cruel and bloody.

Especially for the secret agents who are on the defensive side, this is especially true - since ancient times, there have only been thieves for a thousand days, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?

Fortunately, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, the imperial court scattered nearly a thousand secret agents in the crowd, and almost all the secret agents in the hands of the imperial court were cleaned. However, despite this, the number of such spies is still a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of people who poured in.

Fortunately, this is Taimiao, and the number of 'thieves' who can blend into the scene is not much, only one hundred or ten people at most, if you deal with it...... It's still very difficult - 100 people mixed into tens of thousands of people, trying to find it all is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the previous battle, ninety percent of the enemies had been pulled out, but the remaining ten percent were the most dangerous, because after the battle just now, the enemies who were familiar with the secret agents' routines had already hidden themselves deeper, and it was even more difficult to capture.

In other words, the 90 percent of the people who were arrested before were actually covering for the remaining 10 percent, and they were the real enemies.

"Your Highness......"

As soon as Li Zhen sat down again, someone looked at him and approached him, wanting him to report the news - why did he say that he was seated again? Because after all the captives came up, all the children of the royal family and the civil and military officials stood up again, lined up and knelt down in front of the ancestral spiritual seat, waiting for them was a lengthy memorial ceremony, fortunately, this is also the last complicated ceremony, after the sacrifice of the prisoners, the rest of the links are some small items, it is still very easy.

At this time, it was almost late, but his subordinates reported a very important piece of information to Li Zhen.

"You're saying that no one has done anything yet?" Li Zhen's brows couldn't help frowning, this is indeed a bit abnormal......

"Yes, from the time the captives entered the city until now, there has been no movement, let alone coming out to rob the prisoners, not even a little wind and grass - although they can barely suppress their killing intent, but as if they have been restricted by something, although they want to eat us, but no one has moved." The person who reported the situation was codenamed Flower Spider, a senior intelligence officer under Li Zhen's command who was stopped by Skynet, and one of the people in charge of Skynet's Chang'an region.

"It's just so unusual." The flower spider is also an old intelligence officer, so he naturally understands what this means: "The subordinates are afraid that they will do it at the end of the ceremony, after all, this is the time when our vigilance is the lowest." ”

"It is true that you need to pay attention to this...... Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, you must be careful, I have activated the undercurrent and listening to the wind, you hold this token, they will naturally obey your orders." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." The flower spider quietly took the token and quietly retreated, as if he had come, without attracting anyone's attention except those with a heart.

"Starling, who was that person just now?" Li Zhi next to him quietly leaned over and asked curiously: "This person is so mysterious, he obviously looks ordinary, but there is no sound between actions, this is clearly a master, I'm afraid the captain of the guard I accept is not an opponent, right?" ”

He thought that his voice was very low, but he was unexpectedly listened to by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian saw that Li Zhen's face was a little uneasy, and immediately scolded softly: "Childish slave, there are some things, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”

"Oh, yes, thank you big brother for reminding me, I'm sorry, starling, it's me who is too talkative." Unlike Li You, although Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince, in Li Zhi's heart, he still regarded him as his brother. Not only because the three of them are brothers of the same mother, but more importantly......

Although Li Zhi is very dark-bellied, he has done a very good job in filial piety, whether it is for his parents or in dealing with his brotherly relationship, Li Zhi has done a very good job - at least for now.

Although after Li Zhi became the emperor in history, there was also a tendency to blacken, but I have to say that he was still very good in his early years, otherwise Li Shimin would not have made him the crown prince.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, there's nothing to hide." Li Zhen shook his head: "This is a secret agent of the Blood Dragon Guard under my command, he found something wrong in the crowd, and came to report the situation to me, it's okay." ”

Skynet is Li Zhen's secret intelligence organization, the fewer people who know, the better, the undercurrent and listening to the wind are the first time to appear in front of the world, Li Zhen is naturally even more impossible to say, but it is the existence of the Blood Dragon Guard, there are many people who know, after all, this is passed on to Li Zhen by Li Yuan, and Li Zhen took advantage of the situation to install the flower spider on the head of the Blood Dragon Guard.

"So that's the case, I said, starling, your face hasn't changed at all." Li Chengqian also showed a clear expression, he naturally knew about the Blood Dragon Guard, and even the existence of this organization, he knew it earlier than Li Zhen, after all, he was the crown prince, and he always knew more than an idle prince, and he also knew something about one of the hole cards of the Li family.

It is said that when he learned that his grandfather handed over such a precious intelligence organization to Li Zhen, Li Chengqian smashed the entire Prince's East Palace, and it was precisely because of this incident that he had been hiding in his heart for Li Zhen's displeasure, so he surfaced and began to oppose Li Zhen everywhere, which indirectly led to his later miserable end.

Dizzy, it turned out to be 123 chapters, it's really confusing......
