Chapter 123: The First and Second Captains
Early the next morning.
Bai Zhong appeared in the market and said to himself: "People who sell jade, there should be many jade sellers in a market, who is the person the king is talking about?" ”
He took the order of the commander and prepared to take over the Black Ice Platform according to Yingzheng's instructions.
Originally, he also thought that it was difficult to find out the people related to the Black Ice Platform from among the people who sold jade in the market, but after walking around here, he found that he couldn't find even one, and he asked the nearby people to know that there was only one person selling jade in Xianyang City.
What the reason is, they don't know.
Bai Zhong could guess that it should be Yingzheng's intentional or unintentional restrictions, and finally got the address and came to the outside of a shop.
There is not a lot of jade here, some are jade, and some have been carved into various shapes.
"What does the strong man want?"
When the people in the shop saw Bai Zhong, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Zhuangshi is a term for samurai.
Bai Zhong is dressed in a strong suit and wears a horizontal sword, and at first glance he is a person who practices martial arts, so he has such a title.
"You know this?"
Bai Zhong didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly took out the Du Wei Order.
The man's eyes widened, and after a long moment, he said respectfully, "General, please go inside." ”
He took Bai Zhong to the backyard of the shop.
This kind of feeling of a spy meeting was a bit new to Bai Zhong, and then he heard the man say again: "General, please wait a moment, I'll go find the second lieutenant." ”
With that, he hurried away.
After a while, a pot-bellied businessman came to Bai Zhong, and when he saw the order of the commander of the capital, he immediately said respectfully: "Second captain Yin Qing, meet General Bai." ”
Du Lieutenant Ling, he hadn't seen it in a long time.
It had always been in charge of King Qin before, but now that it appeared in Bai Zhong's hands, he was basically certain that King Qin was going to hand over the Black Ice Platform to Bai Zhong to be in charge.
"You know me?"
Bai Zhong asked curiously.
Yin Qing said with a smile: "I, the second lieutenant, are responsible for intelligence, supervision and other tasks. ”
Hearing this, Bai Zhong instantly understood that all kinds of information related to himself might have been read over and over again by the person in front of him, and then sent to Yingzheng.
When he first became famous in the army, Yingzheng would definitely find someone to check it.
"Sixteen Captains, what are you basically responsible for?"
Bai Zhong saw that Yin Qing was like this, not at all like a lieutenant who could lead the army, different responsibilities should have different uses, and the people selected were not the same.
For example, Yin Qing is a businessman.
Yin Qing said: "Except for the first lieutenant who is the king's guard, and the second lieutenant is in charge of intelligence, the others are almost the same, the first lieutenant leads two thousand people, and the third to sixteenth lieutenants each lead a hundred people, and they are not in Xianyang at present." ”
From this point of view, there are not too many people in the Black Ice Terrace.
Bai Zhong pondered for a while and then asked, "What about you?" How many subordinates are there? ”
Yin Qing said: "I can't count it for the time being, my subordinates are all over the world, there are thirteen people under my direct control, and below these thirteen people, there are more than three hundred subordinates, and then they are divided layer by layer, the people at the bottom may be peddlers and pawns, or ordinary beggars, they are all our Qin people, and they will definitely not betray that, and the news they get will be reported back to me layer by layer." ”
Hearing him describe this, Bai Zhong felt that the structure of the Black Ice Platform was very complete and rigorous.
First of all, it is already difficult to ensure that everyone in the downline will not betray, but Yingzheng can do it.
Secondly, raising so many eyeliner is a huge expense every year, and Yingzheng has done it again, as well as various problems such as the transmission of news, they can do it.
"The news we inquired about is different from the general's military situation on the battlefield."
Yin Qing continued to explain: "The channel for transmitting military information and good news does not pass through our side, and in addition, Shangqing Yao Jia is the second lieutenant of the previous term, and a year ago, in order to better cover up, the king replaced Yao Shangqing and let me be in charge." ”
Bai Zhong said with a smile: "No wonder it is necessary to send envoys to other countries to plot against the important ministers of the enemy country, and this kind of thing is done by Yao Shangqing." ”
Yin Qing nodded and said: "Now all the arrangements under the second lieutenant are left by Yao Shangqing, and the other sixteen lieutenants, except for the people of the first lieutenant, the others are basically cooperating with each other, for example, there is some news that I can't investigate, and I will ask the other lieutenants to arrange skilled people to take the risk to investigate, but these are all things that have been done before, and now the six eastern countries have been wiped out by us, and the strength of the other four countries is far less than before, and they are getting weaker and weaker, and a lot of news does not need to be investigated." ”
That is to say, except for the first lieutenant, the other fifteen lieutenants are now far less effective than before.
Bai Zhong already had a general understanding of the Black Ice Terrace, and asked, "Where can I meet the First Captain?" ”
"General Bai, please come with me."
Yin Qing walked out of the shop as he spoke.
Obviously, the headquarters is not here, nor is it outside the Xianyang Palace.
Yin Qing took Bai Zhong to a side gate of Xianyang Palace, and after showing the token, he went inside smoothly, and soon came to a courtyard surrounded by high palace walls.
This is the headquarters, and the heartland.
It is not far from Zhangtai Palace, so it is convenient for Yingzheng to come at any time, or to get any news.
"Generally speaking, the First Lieutenant would be here at this time."
Yin Qing said.
Bai Zhong looked around, the guards were very strict, and the discipline of those soldiers was not much worse than that of the Iron Eagle Warriors, so he walked forward curiously and pushed open the door of the main hall.
Call!
The door just opened.
Bai Zhong saw a halberd and stabbed at him.
Here, too, there are enemies?
Clang!
Bai Zhong raised his knife to block.
The halberd was bounced back.
At this time, a figure quickly stepped forward, grabbed the halberd, swept it with force, and continued to attack Bai Zhong.
Call!
The halberd broke through the air and made a sharp sound.
Bai Zhong still raised the knife holder to block, and at the same time took the initiative to attack, slashing horizontally with a knife.
That person's reaction was very fast, even if the halberd was bulky, but when it was wielded, it was flexible and free, and there was no discomfort at all, and he whipped Bai Zhong again.
But the other party didn't expect that the halberd was easily caught by Bai Zhong.
The knife in Bai Zhong's hand shook and slashed towards the opponent's neck, but he didn't directly kill him, and when the blade just touched the opponent's neck, it stopped.
The man was shocked and tried to pull the halberd back.
Bai Zhong's hand was clenched so tightly that the man couldn't pump at all.
She also dodged the blade, but the knife remained close to her neck, and no matter how much she dodged and retreated, she couldn't get out of it at all.
"Stop!"
Bai Zhong snorted.
Then he saw clearly that the person who attacked him was still a woman, about four or five years older than him, dressed in a strong suit, heroic, completely a female man, not worse than Yu'er, but more mature than Yu'er.
