Chapter 153: Twists and Turns

According to the reconnaissance situation in the early stage, one of the assassination plans formulated was to infiltrate Wu Qimai's house to assassinate them, and the other was to snipe halfway.

Although Wu Qimai is the crown prince, their family is as big as the capital, but it is really not luxurious and strong. Because Shangjing is the hometown of the Wanyan Ministry, the law and order situation has always been very good, and no one thought that anyone would dare to assassinate the crown prince. Moreover, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economy was relatively tight, and there was no condition to build their nests more luxuriously and strongly. To put it mildly, the courtyard of a scholar's house in the Great Song Dynasty is more heavily guarded than theirs.

Therefore, the burglary attack is the first course of action, but when they arrived in Beijing, they found that because there were too many affairs recently, and the emperor was seriously ill, the good man Wu Qimai seemed to smell the smell of danger and lived in the imperial city at night, eating, drinking, and Lazar did not go out, so they could not start. So they thought about revising the plan and entering the Imperial City to assassinate, but when they got the layout of the Imperial City and went around the outside again, they were silent.

The safety of the imperial city mainly lies in the well-fortified imperial city wall, the imperial city wall is made of rammed earth, up to three zhang, the main city wall base is up to five zhang wide, the outer wall box is inclined inside, the inner wall is inclined outward, the section is almost at right angles, the wall is smooth, it is difficult to climb. There is a wall platform on the inner side of the city wall, and there is a horse face on the outer side, which protrudes out of the wall and is four zhang wide. The distance between the faces of the horses is about 100 paces, and the area between the two faces of the horses happens to be within the range of the most powerful arrows. Outside the city wall, there is a moat one zhang away from the horse face, with a moat four zhang wide and five zhang deep.

With such a well-fortified city defense, not to mention that even if the seven of them were transferred to a brigade, it would be difficult to break through in a short period of time. But even if they could successfully infiltrate the imperial city, it would still be difficult to enter Wu Qimai's residence. In terms of security, careful arrangements were made at the beginning of the design of the palace.

On both sides of the main hall of the Kaihuang Palace, there are two side halls that are symmetrical from east to west - Wuluan Hall and Ande Palace. These are the two foil buildings in front of the palace, and the form is roughly a quadrangle. The temple is located in the southwest corner of the main hall. It is a square courtyard with a length of 50 steps on each side, and a distance of 100 steps from the Wuluan Hall on the opposite side. In this way, a square is formed in front of the temple.

The Ande Hall is the office of Wu Qimai in the palace, and he lives here when he does not go home, and if you want to approach the Ande Palace, you must pass through the square in front of the palace. There are no trees and flowers around the square, only a forest of sentry posts and patrols that go back and forth, and lanterns and torches will be lit at night, and if you want to cross the square and enter the Ande Palace, it is almost like looking for death, and you can't get close to the Ande Hall at all, let alone assassinate it, unless you let the prince cross back and carry a long-range sniper weapon such as an anti-tank missile!

Wu Qimai didn't even come out of the imperial city. Sniping halfway is also a fool's dream, at this time, the action seems to have come to a dead end, several people frowned, looking at each other, hoping to come up with a way to lure Wu Qimai out.

"Can you let the Intelligence Department act on the inside line of the palace?" Erwa looked at Xue Hai and asked.

"It's difficult, our inner line is just a peripheral person, and we can't get close to Wu Qimai, and he is also very cautious, and never let people he get close to him if he doesn't know each other!" Xue Hai shook his head and said.

"Even if you get close, you don't necessarily succeed. Wu Qi has infinite purchasing power, and he can fight tigers with his bare hands, even if a few of us go together without firearms, I am afraid that we can kill him in a short time! Qingyang said with a sigh.

"Thunder head, if you make up as someone in the palace. Disassemble the pistols and bring them in, and then find an opportunity to get close to Wu Qimai, and shoot them at close range! Ba Zhou said nothing. I'm willing to carry out this task! ”。

"It is not allowed to carry blades into the imperial city, and it is difficult to bring firearms in. Even those who can execute it will be difficult to evacuate safely, and it is not the best way to do it in the Imperial City! Erwa thought for a while and said.

"Can we do a big thing in Shangjing. What about leading Wu to buy it? Han Falcon, who had been silent, said.

"That's right, it's really an old man, and the horse head is a good idea!" Zhang Kui jumped up and said excitedly, "We can attack the official office, or put a fire somewhere, and we can also kill an important minister in the court, then Wu Qimai, as a left-behind guard, will definitely come out to check, and we can take advantage of the chaos!" ”

"Lure the snake out of the hole, the plan of the horse's head is feasible, Xue Hai, what do you think?" The willows were bright, and the second baby was also happy and asked Xue Haidao.

"Well, but we have to choose a suitable target, that is, to make Wu Qimai have to show up, and to make it easy for us to do it, I'll go out and see it now!" Xue Hai said.

"You're not too troublesome, I have an idea, how about you?" Seeing everyone's excitement, Li Tian pouted and said.

"Don't make trouble, just nest in the house all day to eat, the horse head has come up with an idea, you have also come up with it, why did you go earlier!" Zhang Kui glared at him and said.

"Listen to him!" Erwa stopped Zhang Kui, who still taught Li Tian a lesson.

"Lei Tou, in the past few days, I have been thinking that Wu Qi can't buy it, and we can't get in, so we'll send him something, and then he will go to the sky with a bang!" Li Tian said.

"You can eat it, he will ask for something if you send it, and if you let him go to heaven, what a bad idea!" Zhang Kui sneered and said, this kid is getting more and more outrageous.

"You..."

"Zhang Kui, don't speak, let Li Tian finish!" Erwa lowered her face and said, these two living treasures can't be together, endlessly pinching.

"Lei Tou, didn't we rob Ah Guta's personal guards on the way to Beijing?" Li Tian said, a few people nodded This is what everyone did together, there is no objection, "I remember that there are two boxes that Ah Guda asked them to give to Wu Qi to buy, if we hit gunpowder in those two boxes, as long as Wu Qi buys the box, the fuse will be triggered, I don't believe that a box of gunpowder can't blow him up!" ”

After listening to Li Tian's words, everyone was silent for a moment, looked at the two boxes that had been forgotten for a long time in the corner, and then focused their eyes on Li Tian, no one wanted to believe that such a good idea was actually come up with him!

"Li Tian, are you sure you can create an explosive device that is about to explode?" Erwa asked solemnly.

"No problem, as long as I can find everything I want!" Li Tian also put away the cynical look and replied.

"Can you guarantee that the chest won't explode until it's opened?" Erwa expressed her worries.

"No problem!" Li Tian said without hesitation that he was still very confident in this regard.

"Okay, then do what you want, you can do the explosive device, and we'll do the rest!" Erwa made up her mind and patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

After some planning, for the sake of insurance, everyone thought that it was better to 'walk on two legs', and the two plans of 'treasure box bomb' and 'luring the snake out of the hole' began to prepare at the same time, with Li Tian using explosives to assassinate as the first plan, and Han Falcon leading the snake out of the hole and sniping Wu Qimai as the backup plan. If the 'Treasure Chest' plan fails, you can immediately switch to the second option.

The 'Tiger Slayer' detachment was also temporarily divided into two groups. Xue Hai, Han Falcon, and Zhang Kui were responsible for the backup plan, and they surveyed the terrain first, selected targets, arranged manpower, and studied action plans; Erwa, Qingyang and Li Tian were responsible for the planning of the first plan and the production of the bomb. Once the plan is set, the two groups are immediately separated, so that even if one group has a problem, the other group can implement the other plan.

Under Sheng Zhongtang's arrangement, Erwa's group moved to a manor outside Shangjing City, which is located on the outskirts of the remote city, and no one knows even if there is any movement. Now Cheng Xishou has also come out, he doesn't have to do everything himself, and he has been adrift at sea all year round, but in order to assist in the 'Tiger Slayer' operation, he personally led a guard team to sit in the manor, responsible for security and assisting them in their actions, and after completing the task, he received their evacuation.

Everything is ready, and the most important thing in front of you is to open the two treasure chests intact. Everyone thought at first that the only way to open the lock was to open it, but the locksmith from the Intelligence Department who invited him shook his head at a glance, and he recognized the two boxes as the 'safes' used by the Jurchens to deliver important items, and the locks were exquisitely designed, with only two keys, held by the transmitter and the receiver respectively, and no one else could open them at all.

If the box can't be opened, it will be impossible to put gunpowder in, but if you forcibly open the lock, it will reveal a flaw, and it will be meaningless. Just when Ji Luhua was in trouble again, Cheng Xishou found an old carpenter who assisted Li Tian, and the lock couldn't be opened, so he had to open the box!

In the eyes of everyone's amazement, the old man did not hurry to boil a pot of hot water to soak the box in it, because the leather glue that bonded the wooden board was heated and melted, there was no adhesive force, he took a little effort to calmly remove the bottom of the box, after getting it, just restore the bottom of the box, re-paint and make it old, now everyone does not have to worry about how to deal with the fire paint of the sealed box.

As concocted, another box was successfully opened, and when everyone opened the box and took out the contents with anxiety, there was no priceless treasure in it, one box contained a parchment book, and the other box contained a jade seal, a gold seal, and a tiger talisman for mobilizing troops.

Qing Yang carefully opened the parchment, carefully read the original A Gu to write a Wu begging to buy the edict, he knew that he was not long in the personnel, and explained his future, and the jade seal is the symbol of the emperor, the golden seal is the handsome seal of the Jin domestic and foreign commanders who were originally in charge of Wanyan Xian, and the tiger charm is the token of the transfer of troops, it can be said that these two boxes contain the highest power of the Dajin country!

But everyone couldn't figure out such an important thing, why did Aguta only send such a small team to escort him, no one could guess, so they could only ask Aguda himself... (To be continued.) )
