Weapons and equipment and other things are basically eliminated from the active forces of the Tang Dynasty, or from the border army, since the sixteenth guard began to be equipped with new rifles, the previous guns and everything have been transferred to the border army and the locality.

And the local weapons of far and melee combat were once again eliminated, and they became piles of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Now, if someone wants to buy it, Xiangxin will naturally no longer hide it, and in response to Li Chengqian's call, he waved his hand: sell!

So when the Byzantines came to the door, Xiangxin also did not hesitate, called Wang Zimu to his side, wrote him a note, and sent him out without even seeing anyone.

A thousand steel crossbows, a thousand horizontal knives, and matching crossbows were sold for a total of 5,000 yuan, or 500 taels of gold, not counting the freight.

The Byzantines were very happy, packed the things, loaded them in several carts, and 'hired' some porters to transport the things to the temporary warehouse at Xianyang Station, waiting for the next train to Tianzhu Road.

……

After spending a quiet night without incident, the next afternoon, Wang Zimu received a message from 'his own people', and that Yuan Nanjian really sent someone and sent a note with a time and a place written on it.

Li Yiheng took the note and read it several times, and then handed it to Huangpu to read for a long time, and finally the two decided to go to the appointment according to the time written on the note, to see how the other party arranged for his people to sneak into the palace.

And while Li Yiheng and Wang Zimu were holding a note to discuss whether to go to the appointment, the mysterious Yuan Nanjian appeared in Yang Tian's office in the intelligence department.

"How? Do they believe you? Yang Tianming made a cup of hot tea for 'Yuan Nanjian', and asked Zhengse.

"Do they have a choice?" 'Yuan Nanjian' shook the folding fan in his hand and said politely.

"Old Wu, do you really think of yourself as a Yuan Nanjian?" Yang Tian glanced at 'Yuan Nanjian' and said angrily.

"If you want to pretend to be some, otherwise what if you show your numb feet?" 'Yuan Nanjian' smiled, closed the folding fan with a 'swish', put on a poss, picked up the tea cup in a fake way, and slowly took a sip.

Yang Tian looked at 'Yuan Nanjian' helplessly, sighed and said, "Old Wu, can't we talk well?" No matter how virtuous you are, don't blame me for suing you with my sister-in-law. ”

Hearing the complaint, 'Yuan Nanjian' sat up straight all of a sudden, and said with a haha: "Don't, don't, Xiao Yang, no matter how we say it, we're brothers, and half of your skills are passed on to you by me, right?" ”

"yes, so you can look like a senior? You're making it hard for me to do that. Yang Tian said threateningly.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." 'Yuan Nanjian' finally took off his disguise, and said with a serious expression: "The death of four or five people is enough to gain the trust of that ghost, so that he believes that I am not the secret line of the intelligence department, and their strength does not seem to be very strong, judging from the defense level of their stronghold, most of the people they found are stragglers, or some prisoners who are dissatisfied with the policy of the Tang Dynasty, in this case, their gang can't play any big tricks except for conspiracies." ”

"What if they have other plans? This time, they can get away a thousand strong crossbows, as well as a thousand horizontal knives, can have such a big force in Chang'an City, do you think they are still a small force? Yang Tian frowned and asked.

Lao Wu smiled faintly: "It's just a cover-up, if they can really get a thousand people in Chang'an, there will be no need for the Intelligence Department to exist." ”

Yang Tian smiled bitterly and sighed: "Hehe, you have been outside for so many years, I don't know how much Datang has changed, it is not the same time now, there are millions of people in Chang'an City, no matter how powerful the intelligence department is, it is impossible to check all these people." ”

"Even if so, what can it be? They have all their tails exposed, and I have clearly told them that they are going to assassinate His Majesty, which has driven them to a dead end, so they will definitely come this time, and it is all in all their hearts. ”

"It's good if you are sure, this force has been hidden very deeply, and we didn't think that they would still have contact with the family, so this time we must finish our work and completely eradicate them, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future." Yang Tian said categorically.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." Lao Wu took a deep breath, grabbed the tea that had been cold on the table and poured it into his mouth: "The two main leaders are under the nose of the heart, the Wang family is also monitored by Li Yue, and there are sunspots waiting for them in the palace, even if they have wings, it will be difficult to run away again." ”

Yang Tian was silent for a while, as if considering whether Lao Wu's judgment was accurate, and only nodded after a while, and then asked, "What about the other group?" It's the guy with the face covered, do you know his identity? ”

"Listening to the accent, it should be someone from the Western Regions, although this guy is trying his best to imitate our official language, but he still has some Western Regions accents." Lao Wu thought about it and said with great certainty.

"It's good to know who it is, their group went into the forest after they left that day, and then they simply hid in the mountains, and our people were thrown away after a while." Yang Tian's tone was filled with chagrin, as if he was regretting this defeat.

"Strengthen your vigilance, and focus on monitoring the people from the Western Regions who have entered the city, as well as those Hu merchants." After Lao Wu knew that the masked man was out of surveillance, his face changed slightly, and he said with some worry: "It's best not to let Your Majesty leave the palace until you find this person, in case they jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

"That's all it can be." Yang Tian sighed: "However, what I'm worried about is that Your Majesty will not listen to dissuasion, you have been in contact with Your Majesty for longer than me, I believe you should know his character." ”

Lao Wu said in a deep voice: "Then send more people, in short, Your Majesty must not have problems, otherwise Datang will usher in a big chaos." ”

"Well, I'll do my best, if there is no news of that guy before the Chang'an Cup starts, I, Yang Tian, will die, and I won't let His Majesty leave the palace for half a step." Yang Tian also seemed to be ruthless, and said with gritted back molars.

"It's good if you have a plan, I'll go first, I'll let my people pay attention to that group, and you have to work harder here." Seeing that the matter was almost over, Lao Wu got up from his chair, left Yang Tian's office with his hands in his hands, left the intelligence department, and disappeared into the street outside.
