Chapter 177: Mixed Fish and Dragons
(This is the first time since the book was opened, and the third child has asked his brothers and sisters for all kinds of things, including monthly passes!) However, the third child also assured everyone that there will be four shifts on Saturday and Sunday. οΌ
There is a manor outside King's Landing City, which is a branch of the secret guard formed by Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, and it is also the secret site of Ji Qingchen's secret guard system prison.
Since Ji Qingchen went north to Caozhou last year, handed over the power of the secret guard to Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, and let Zhang Rang concurrently serve as the financial power of the palace, this Zhang Rang and Guo Quan's courage has become bigger, and they have given full play to their talents in intelligence investigation and spy training through nearly half a year's efforts, and have made the "inner factory" and "iron suit" into an existence that now makes Wang You's father and son a little jealous.
It can be said that the current "iron clothes" have a total of 600 personnel, 200 real dead soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, reaching the level that four dead soldiers can deal with Guo Quan's one person, and there are 200 intelligence and reconnaissance personnel, mainly distributed in Liguo, Xishu, Donghuang, and Lingnan, and there are more than 1,300 personnel in the "inner factory", 130 elite dead soldiers, 18 people like Feng Tang, 400 ordinary factory guards, and 700 intelligence and reconnaissance personnel. Distributed among the mansions and caravans of the Great Yan Prefectures and the various clans in King's Landing, it has developed enough to rival the intelligence system of Emperor Yan in Wei Zhongxian's hands.
Therefore, when the "Iron Suit" spread the news that Jiang Rou had left the country and infiltrated Dayan, the "Inner Factory" determined Jiang Rou's whereabouts and numbers, and put all the information about Jiang Rou's return to King's Landing City on Zhang Rang's table.
This attracted the attention of the two spy chiefs.
They patiently followed Jiang Rou again, observed for a few days, determined Jiang Rou's whereabouts and the people she had come into contact with, and then spread the news of Jiang Rou's appearance in King's Landing City to Caozhou.
Now, the two of them are reading Ji Qingchen's reply to them in the secret room of the manor. The content of the reply is very simple, just one sentence: you are at your discretion.
This made it a little difficult for the two.
Because Jiang Rou targeted Ji Qingchen more than once, this time as soon as she returned to King's Landing City, Zhang Rang sent two of the eighteen enshrinements to follow Jiang Rou, and the strength of each of the eighteen enshrinements was the same as Feng Tang, so strong that it was indescribable, and the two of them followed Jiang Rou, and the "inner factory" quickly detected the people Jiang had come into contact with after arriving in King's Landing City, and found that in addition to Wang Wenhe, there were also people from the crown princess and the Qingzhou Cui family, which was the people from the Cui Mansion of the Ministry of Industry. If it were just these few people, Zhang Rang and Guo Quan would not feel very embarrassed to deal with this matter if they got Ji Qingchen's reply, but there was also a person involved, this person was Bai Meng'er, the princess of the Lingnan Yi clan, and because of Bai Meng'er's participation, Zhang Rang and Guo Quan found that in addition to a large number of secret guards leaving the country, there were also swordsmen from the Eastern Wilderness, warriors from the Yi clan, etc.
The situation in King's Landing is very complicated now, and it can be said that it has reached the point of being mixed.
"What does Brother Zhang think should be done with this matter?" Guo asked.
Although Zhang Rang is just a eunuch, he is strong in force and does not belong to Guo Quan, and he showed his extraordinary talent when he was in charge of the "inner factory", coupled with the importance of Ji Qingchen, which made Guo Quan's heart contempt for him, and the two cooperated with each other, but they got along well.
"Princess Dream is involved, it must be for his uncle Bai Zhiquan." Zhang Rang said slowly with his iconic feminine figure, "It is estimated that the Lingnan people found out the cause of Bai Zhiquan's death, and seeing that Dayan was about to defeat Beirong, they couldn't stay in Yizhou for long, so they wanted to use Bai Meng'er to make a fuss, and wanted to be unfavorable to His Highness." β
"Yes!" Guo Quan, who agreed with Zhang Rang's analysis, nodded slightly.
"This group of Yi warriors sneaking into King's Landing is very bad for us, we must eradicate them as soon as possible, and we can't let them know too much news." Zhang Rangyin said, "Now is the time when the Lingnan Yi clan is at war with Dayan, and we won't attract too many people's attention if we kill them." β
Guo Quan nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Rang's point of view.
"As for the people from the East Palaceβ" Zhang Rang said this, paused and said, "His Royal Highness gave them a lesson last time, but they just don't have a long memory, this time they have participated in Jiang Rou's plan, so let's kill them again!" β
"The warriors of the Lingnan Yi clan can be killed, and the people of the East Palace can also be killed, but the people of Wang You's father and son and the people who have left the country can't move, this time for His Royal Highness, I think they are the focus." Guo Quanye also spoke.
"That's what I thought too." Zhang Rang agreed with Guo Quan's statement.
Then the two of them got acquainted with each other, determined their next move, and fell silent.
"Then which of us will deal with the people of the East Palace, and who will deal with the warriors of the Lingnan Yi Clan?" Guo asked.
"The warriors of the Lingnan Yi clan infiltrated King's Landing City, it must have something to do with Feng Tang, this matter is not clean, let the inner factory clean up by itself!" Zhang Rang's tone already showed murderous intentions, although his "inner factory" did not want Guo Quan's "iron suit" to have two hundred dead soldiers, but there were eighteen worshippers like Feng Tang, and his strength was definitely not inferior to Guo Quan's "iron suit".
"Well, the people from the East Palace will be handed over to me!" Guo Quan's tone was calm, and it seemed like a common thing for him to kill.
With such a simple conversation, the two spy leaders discussed the next step. But the two of them still don't know what to do, and the plan they discussed tonight will cause a shock in King's Landing City three days later, and even affect the battle situation of the entire Great Yan and Yi clans.
β¦β¦
Jiang Rou left the Tianzuiju Restaurant and came straight to the Dawei Dart Bureau.
Dawei Dart Bureau is not only a powerful dart game, but also a secret guard organization set up in Dayan, just because the dart game is cautious, and has not done anything out of the ordinary in Dayan, so it was not discovered by Dayan, or it was only a blind eye when it was discovered.
However, this time Jiang Rou's task was very arduous and also dangerous, which made Empress Dowager Xiao have to order the secret guard system to leave the country, so that the Dawei Dart Bureau lurking in Dayan could listen to Jiang Rou's dispatch.
Because of the death of Li Qingyi, the god of the military of the country, the military of the country was divided into two, and most of the people fell to the Empress Dowager Xiao, only Li Qingyi's two disciples Mu Feng and Tie Yan and a very small number of royal children supported Li Changchuan, which made the situation that the Empress Dowager Xiao and the new monarch of the country were dealt with together, and only then did Jiang Rou have a small secret guard to mobilize the power of Dawei, a huge force lurking in the Yan Kingdom.
But at this time, Jiang Rou returned to the Dawei dart game, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
This is not to say that her task has been hindered, on the contrary, the plan given to her by the Empress Dowager Xiao is going too smoothly, this time she has a total of contact with the son of Wang You, the official of Dayan, the king of Dali Temple, Wenhe, who is the representative of the three princes; Wei Ran of the Wei clan in Shangzhou, this is the representative of the East Palace; the housekeeper of the Shangshu Cui Mansion of the Ministry of Dayan Works, which is the representative of the Eight Princes; There is also Princess Dream of the Lingnan Yi Clan, these people have expressed a strong interest in her plan.
Moreover, she had also heard that in a few days, the Great Khan of Beijung, Modahan, and his eldest daughter Ahsan would be escorted back to King's Landing, and if Modahan's father and daughter arrived in the county seat, and they would gain something in this regard, their trip to King's Landing would be even more perfect.
However, it was because things were going so smoothly that Jiang Rou was a little difficult to adapt.
Because she was planted in Ji Qingchen's hands twice, she was the one who knew best how powerful Ji Qingchen's secret guards were in King's Landing, but this time she returned to King's Landing City and neither found anyone following her, nor did she encounter any hunting.
This made her feel very strange and puzzled, could it be that Ji Qingchen's secret guard had been on vacation for the past few days? Or do they have more important things to attend to and forget about themselves?
Jiang Rou shook her head, denied these two speculations, and then fell into deep thought. But she thought about it for a long time and didn't get the answer she wanted.
At this time, I suddenly saw the head of the Dawei Dart Bureau walk into the hall.
The head of the big dart game is a middle-aged man who is over forty years old, tall and powerful. He was very dissatisfied with sending a weak woman like Jiang Rou to lead the Dawei Dart Bureau by leaving the country, but he didn't dare to disobey the domestic orders, so he could only disobey Jiang Rouyin and Fengyang.
When he saw Jiang Rou appear in the Dawei Dart Bureau again, he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know if Miss Daojiang still needs to let the old man do, please command, the old man will definitely try his best to mediate for you." β
"Then Jiang Rou will thank Commander Fang." Jiang Rou said politely, but she called the chief dart head the leader of Fang, which was to remind the identity of the chief dart head, and it was the commander of the secret guard of the country and not the head of the Da Yan Dawei Dart Bureau.
Mr. Fang naturally knew the meaning of Jiang Rou's words, but he was extremely well-cultivated, so he naturally wouldn't show Jiang Rou's words on his face.
"I wonder if the head of the Dao Dart has gotten a specific time for the Great Khan of Beirong to return to King's Landing, as well as the marching route of the escort team?" Jiang Rou asked.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss Jiang Rou, because the exact time and route of the Great Khan of Beirong to return to King's Landing, not to mention our small dart game, the old man heard that there will be no more than four people in the Great Yan Dynasty who know the Dao, they are His Majesty the Great Yan Emperor, Bai Jin, the privy envoy, and Pei Wenju, the prime minister." Mr. Fang said.
Seeing that Jiang Rou was silent in thought, he felt that the little girl in front of him was too self-conscious, and wanted to use the men and horses in his dart game to rob Dayan's prisoner car, so he decided to remind, "It's just that we know the specific time and marching route, and I'm afraid the girl's plan will be difficult to implement." β
"For what?" Jiang Rou asked.
"Because the old man heard that the person who escorted the Great Khan King of Beirong Mo Dahan this time is Wang Yin, one of the Nine Tigers under the command of the Northern Liao King Ji Qingchen, and in addition to him, there are 10,000 Black Eagle Cavalry accompanying him, the Black Eagle Cavalry is the existence of the Northern Liao Army's combat effectiveness second only to the Northern Liao King's personal guard Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and their 10,000 people escort Mo Dahan, even if we dispatch all our secret guards in Dayan, I'm afraid it will not help!" Mr. Fang said.
"Mr. Fang, this matter is very important, please think of a way to get the exact time and route at all costs." Jiang Rou said, "Since you can't rob the living, it's okay to leave a dead person for Dayan, but you can't live and let him stay in King's Landing." β
"Yes." Mr. Fang just wanted to refuse, but suddenly saw the ruthless color flashing in Jiang Rou's eyes, his body sank, and he still bowed down and agreed.
