"Xu Zhihe has arrived in Jiangling?" Li Congjing frowned slightly, and then bowed his head and said, "He should indeed come." ”

Mo Li said hesitantly: "I knew that Yang Wu was going to send someone over, but I never thought that Xu Zhihe would come in person, it seems that Xu Wen values Jiangling very much." ”

"The fifth intelligence said that the Lin family traveled hundreds of miles in Jingzhou, and finally arrived at the wharf outside Jiangling City and boarded a ship of Yang Wu. By comparing the Jinling line report, it can be seen that the Lin family is on Xu Zhihe's ship. Tao Yaoyao was holding a wooden cup and drinking water, and then looked up and said.

"I waited for the front foot to take down Zhao Jiliang, this Xu Zhihe came to Jiangling on the back foot, so it seems that the pool of water in Jiangling City cannot be cleared." Sang Weihan answered on the side, and since the Lin family had been proved to be on Xu Zhihe's ship, it showed that the result of his previous interrogation of the Lin family was correct, which was very important to Sang Weihan, who urgently needed to make meritorious contributions to gain a firm foothold in the Qin Palace.

"Zhao Jiliang and I can be forcibly detained, but we can't rely on the gourd to deal with Xu Zhihe, this problem is much trickier, and if we are not careful, it will cause Gao Jixing to be jealous and trigger Yang Wu's unpredictable reaction." Sang Weihan continued, Xichuan's people are easy to deal with, Li Congjing occupies the righteousness after all, and Yang Wu is not so easy to handle.

Li Congjing turned to Mo Li, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Mo, in your opinion, since Xu Zhihe has arrived in Jiangling, when will he meet Gao Jixing?" ”

Mo Li shook the folding fan lightly and said: "Jing Nan is colluding with Yang Wu, this is a matter that can't be brought to the table." As far as Gao Jixing is concerned, the imperial court suspects him of doing this, and it can't do anything, but if he has evidence of his collusion with Yang Wu, he will not sit idly by, and it is very likely that he will send troops to attack. Therefore, Gao Jixing will not meet Xu Zhihe in the bright light. ”

"Xu Zhihe is also a momentary figure, this trip represents Yang Wu, can he endure to meet Gao Jixing secretly?" Li Congjing put himself in his shoes, if he was Xu Zhihe, this issue would be debatable, not to mention whether Xu Zhihe himself wanted to save face, what he represented behind him was the vassal state of Wu - the dignity of the country should not be desecrated.

Mo Li said with a smile: "Xu Zhihe is a smart person, he knows that His Royal Highness went to Jiangling first, and he has fought with the Military Intelligence Department, how can he hope that his whereabouts will not be discovered?" Knowing this, naturally we can't act blatantly. Although dignity is important, it is even more important to persuade Jingnan to surrender. ”

Li Congjing thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, "Then according to you, when will Xu Zhihe meet Gao Jixing?" ”

"Since his whereabouts cannot be concealed, it means that there are many dreams at night, Xu Zhihe wants to see Gao Jixing and avoid being discovered by the Military Intelligence Department, so he can only be surprised." Mo Li had obviously thought about this question for a long time, so he answered it in an orderly manner.

Everything is foreseen, and if nothing is planned, it will be wasted, and Mo Li can be called Mo Shenji, which can almost be said to be a last resort, and it is not unreasonable. Mo Li put away the folding fan, slapped it in the palm of his hand, his eyes were blazing, his next words, like thunder on the ground, he said: "From speculation, Xu Zhihe saw Gao Jixing, just tonight!" ”

Li Congjing's heart jumped, thinking that it was very likely.

He stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and unrelated images alternated with each other, and there seemed to be a layer of connection between them, which seemed extremely important and difficult to grasp.

Suddenly, Li Congjing stopped and asked everyone with a solemn expression: "Zhao Jiliang has been brought here by us for more than half a day, is there any movement in the Nanping Palace?" What does Gu mean is that Gao Jixing has ever sent someone over to inquire and ask for Zhao Jiliang? ”

Everyone looked at each other, "There is no change in the Nanping Palace, and Gao Jixing has never sent anyone over!" ”

Li Congjing's complexion changed.

Seeing Li Congjing's appearance, Mo Xuan's head suddenly became alarming, he suddenly grabbed the folding fan, and said: "Zhao Jiliang was taken away from Dongshi, and it is impossible to hide from Gao Jixing's eyes and ears in the city. Zhao Jiliang and Gao Jixing's plot will inevitably see the light, it stands to reason that Zhao Jiliang was forcibly detained by us, Gao Jixing was extremely anxious, in order to prevent Zhao Jiliang from revealing unfavorable news about him, he should come over non-stop to ask for talent! ”

"But he didn't do that, what does that mean?" Li Congjing stared at Mo Li and asked.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, but, where is the demon?

Everyone pondered, but they didn't know for a while.

"Did I miss something?" Sang Weihan said in a deep voice, "Or did we ignore something?" ”

The more anxious he became, Li Congjing no longer showed any abnormality, he sat down again behind the desk, stroked his chin with his hand, and pondered.

"Pass the order, keep an eye on the Nanping Mansion and the wharf outside the city, but if there is any trouble, you must report it immediately! Xu Zhihe wants to meet Gao Jixing tonight, I can't let him get his wish! Li Congjing said to Tao Yao, without knowing where the omission is, he can only keep the bottom line and prevent the worst from happening, "In addition, immediately go to meet the officials of the Nanping Royal Mansion that you contacted, the weight is not important at this time, give them whatever they want, be sure to get useful news!" ”

Tao Yao got up and promised.

Before Tao Yao went out, Li Congjing stopped her, and said with murderous eyes: "In extraordinary times, you should use extraordinary means." Before dawn, I want results! ”

Tao Xiaoyao nodded, indicating that she understood.

She had been in contact with a few officials of the Nanping Royal Mansion before, but in fact, these people didn't need to buy all of them, as long as they could buy one with weight, as for the others, there was no need to say much about their use.

When Sang Weihan heard Li Congjing's words, his heart sank. He knew that tonight, Gangneung City was going to die, and it was the people who were high up on weekdays!

At this time, Sang Weihan still had no way of knowing that although there were going to be people dying tonight, it was not as he thought, only a few people would die, but many people would die.

The room was a little stuffy, and Li Congjing got up and came to the window.

When you open the window, you can see that Gangneung Fortress is lit up like day. Looking into the distance, you can see the stars like the sea and the crescent moon hanging high.

These lights are conspicuous, but they are insignificant in the face of darkness. More places, full of darkness, and dark things.

The night was peaceful. However, there seems to be a force in the dark that has descended on this prosperous river city, and it is this force that will set off a bloody storm in the dark.

Li Congjing stood in front of the window, and gave an order in a calm tone that was contrary to calm, "Tell the gentlemen, assemble and stand by!" ”

Nanping Palace.

Gao Jixing raised his eyebrows and pondered, without saying a word. In front of him, there was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes, who was staring at the contemplative King of Nanping, looking at the man's hair accessories and costumes, which were obviously different from those in Jiangling City.

"At this time, the king of Nanping still can't make up his mind?" The middle-aged man's expression was indifferent, but the words he said were not without waves, he looked at Gao Jixing tightly, and continued: "Today, Xichuan Zhao Jiliang has been forcibly taken away and detained by the Qin Palace, what does this mean, how can the King of Nanping not know? ”

Gao Jixing let out a long sigh, "Jingnan is the town of the Tang Domain, and Xichuan is also the town of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not incomprehensible that they have dealings with each other. Although King Qin said that he was fierce, taking Zhao Jiliang back was at most just asking two questions, and it might not be what happened. ”

"Why should the king of Nanping deceive himself?" The middle-aged man sneered, "Whether it is Jingnan or Xichuan, now they are not under the orders of the Tang Dynasty, they are doing their own thing, there are many acts of arrogance, there is no name of rebellion, but there is the reality of self-reliance, the Tang Emperor and the King of Qin, and they are not stupid people, how can they not see it?" At this time, Jingnan and Xichuan sent secret envoys to each other, and if the Tang Dynasty was not afraid, it would not let the King of Qin come here. If the King of Qin was not afraid, he would not have forcibly detained Zhao Jiliang. If it was just a question of two sentences, why did Zhao Jiliang not leave the post house at this time? King Nanping is not worried, Zhao Jiliang said something that should not be said? ”

How could Gao Jixing not know these truths, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he said something at will to prevaricate. The other party analyzed the matter so clearly, it was clearly reminding him not to have illusions and to act decisively.

Gao Jixing asked the middle-aged man, "Xu Xiang has already gone outside the city?" ”

"When I came down, I told the king of Nanping that Xu Xiang would arrive in Jiangling in the afternoon." The middle-aged man said patiently, "Xu Xiang came from afar, and he urgently needs to meet the king of Nanping in order to plan everything, but this is for the consideration of the king of Nanping." At that time, the king of Nanping took the initiative to contact Xu Xiang, and only then did he go to Jiangling and conspire with the king of Nanping for so long. Now that Xu is on a blind date, the king of Nanping is reluctant to see him, what is the reason? ”

Gao Jixing sighed and said: "Seeing Xu Xiang is what this king is looking forward to. It's just that Xu Xiang said that the move to deal with King Qin seems to be negotiable. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately became serious, "The king of Nanping said this, and I dare not agree with it. It must be known that raising troops is a major military matter, so how can it be done at will? Since the king of Nanping asked the water division of Wu to help you stand on your own feet and help you deal with the Tang army, how could he not show his sincerity? Moreover, the King of Qin is by no means easy to match, if the King of Nanping does not take advantage of his time in Jiangling to kill him, and then flee from Jiangling in the future, and then lead the army to attack, it will be a nightmare for the Jingnan army! Choose here, how to do it, please think twice about the king of Nanping! That's all I have to say, I don't want to bother talking anymore! ”

The middle-aged man's tough attitude made Gao Jixing helpless.

Killing Li Congjing in exchange for the trust of Wu Guo and the help of Wu Guoshui, this transaction is not a trivial matter.

Gao Jixing's face was cloudy, and suddenly, he stood up with a fierce gaze

Gangneung Outer Pier.

On a building ship, the Lin family, who had washed up and changed into clean clothes, came to the deck and looked at the river view after eating the first stable meal in a few days.

Although she evaded the pursuit and traveled hundreds of miles for days, she looked haggard and mentally exhausted, but the pain was rewarded at this time, and now, she finally kept the clouds to see the sunrise, and the Lin family, who was dressed gracefully at this time, was the stunning woman who looked at the city and the country.

From time to time, a woman in a black suit came to salute her and said respectfully: "Report to the chief, those people have leaned over again." ”

Tsing Yi Yamen, with the head of the department as the highest official position.

Lin looked at the river, only to see several fishing boats approaching the boat from different directions, pretending to be casual.

She smiled, "Since you are willing to come, let them come, and when they are close, they can be cleaned up." ”

The woman in black took the order.

After standing for a while, Lin stretched out his snow-white hand and beckoned, and a woman in black stepped forward to listen to the order in the shadows.

"Order, the boat moves closer to the shore." Lin's smile was mysterious, "Didn't the Military Intelligence Department think that Xu Xiang was on this ship?" Then let them all come over. If we cover better, Xu Xiang will be a little safer. ”

After arranging these things, Lin Shifu looked at the river, gathered his sideburns and green silk, and smiled all over the country, "Follow me all the way, so you think you can touch the melon along the vine?" How stupid are you to be Lin Anxin? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! ”

"How do you know that Xu Xiang changed ships halfway, and he had already entered Jiangling City at this time!"
