Chapter 203: Di Xian into the set
"Master Li, you're here." The deputy commander of the Reverse Scale Division ordered Qiao Shengchun to get up and salute.
In a secluded courtyard in Zhishanfang, the leaders of the spies gathered together, except for Chang Xiong, the flying cavalry commander, all the officials in Luoyi arrived here at this time, waiting for Li Jiangyao.
Li Jiangyao greeted everyone one by one and sat down in the center: "Brothers, how are things prepared?" ”
Qiao Shengchun reported loudly: "My lord, the lowly position has just been inspected, and the brothers in all departments and classes have already made preparations according to your previous instructions. ”
"Oh? What's going on inside the palace? What's new? "Li Jiangyao is most concerned about the situation over there.
Zhou Xingying, who was in charge of collecting news, said: "As we expected, after the flying arrow submitted the book, Di Xian's guy immediately reacted. He can't help it, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not believable, so he can't help but not fall into the trap. At present, not only have a large number of Xuanjia soldiers appeared on the street, searching for suspicious people door to door, but the palace has made big adjustments. The little father-in-law we placed beside His Royal Highness the Prince, along with all the other chamberlains and palace maids, were all driven out of Ziwei Palace and temporarily isolated in Wenyang Palace. However, the three thousand armor soldiers outside the Ziwei Palace did not withdraw, and they were still tightly armed, as if they were facing a great enemy. ”
"What about the crown prince and Murong Xue?" Li Jiangyao was a little worried: "The little father-in-law of the Reverse Scale Division was transferred to the Wenyang Palace to take care of it, isn't it equivalent to cutting off the source of intelligence?" ”
Qiao Shengchun explained: "It doesn't matter. We still have eyeliner in the Xuanjia Legion, and the latest situation in the palace can always be sent out in time. The things that Zhou Xing said were provided by the inside line of the Xuanjia Army. ”
"As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Zhou Xing nodded and continued to introduce: "He and Lord Murong have not been transferred yet. He guessed that Di Xian should not have completely arranged a new safe place, so he did not dare to act rashly for the time being. ”
Wang Hai pondered for a moment and said, "You say, will Di Xian stop here?" After all, there are heavy soldiers outside Ziwei Palace, it is better than changing places and getting out of protection. ”
Zhou Xing shook his head when he heard this: "It shouldn't be." I have analyzed with Master Qiao that Di Xian is cautious and thoughtful. This kind of person usually has a characteristic, that is, whenever there is an unexpected change in the situation, he is often more suspicious than others, and of course, there are more problems to consider. ”
Qiao Shengchun bowed slightly, and then Zhou Xing's words: "Moreover, once Di Xian identifies a certain idea, it is difficult to be swayed by the opinions of others. To put it simply, he will appear more stubborn, and in severe cases, even a little hysterical. ”
"According to the eyeliner report of the Xuanjia Army in the palace," Zhou Xing continued, "After we shot arrows and submitted the book, Di Xian hurriedly ran into the palace and met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Immediately afterward, he made his rounds around the palace, as if looking for something. And the dozen or so people who followed Di Xian were all masters in Xie Bao's personal barracks, and they rarely left the main general Xie Bao for half a step. From this situation, we all feel that he may be preparing to hide His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to prevent assassination. ”
Li Jiangyao groaned: "Di Xian's actions are indeed as you deduced, otherwise there is no need to go around." By the way, has there been any change in the prince's reaction? ”
Zhou Xing smiled: "The best part is this. According to your orders, we did not pass the slightest wind to His Highness through eyeliner beforehand. Therefore, after Di Xian's audience, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Murong were also a little anxious, obviously also worried that the imperial court would really send someone to assassinate them. It was a sincere performance, without the slightest falsehood, with Di Xian's vicious eyes, but it made him even more convinced that we were going to kill him. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the house couldn't help but laugh, and even the rescued people were counted together, which was very in line with the style of the Reverse Scale Division.
Wang Hai squinted his eyes and pondered, "Where will Di Xian hide His Highness?" At this time, most people dare not venture out of the palace, so they can only find another place in the palace. ”
Jiang Junyi, the military commander of the arsenal, was a little worried about this: "The Luoyi Palace is so big, there are more than a thousand houses everywhere, and it is probably as difficult to find a needle in a haystack to hide a person." ”
Qiao Shengchun waved his hand: "This is not true. Zhou Xing and I first excluded the large number of mansions and pavilions in the harem. First, those places have been uninhabited for a long time, and it is okay to hide them for a short time, but if you are planning to stay for a long time, life is very inconvenient, and the delivery of food and water is also very conspicuous, and it is easier to expose the filling. Second, although the harem has many houses, the terrain is complex, which is not only not conducive to defense, but also more convenient for assassins to sneak into. As long as the methods used are appropriate, and the information should be provided, the action is not difficult. Therefore, Di Xian didn't go to the harem at all before. ”
He paused slightly, then continued, "We've analyzed the three most likely hiding places. The first is the imperial study, this place was originally the place where His Royal Highness lived on weekdays, the living conditions were complete, the back was against the tall inner palace wall, and there were pools and rockeries in front of it, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The second place is the Wucheng Palace. Although the crown prince was ordered to supervise the country, nominally leading the martial arts into the palace, but in fact, he has not been there much since he came to Luoyi. Not only was there more rooms, but the view was very wide, making it easy to monitor movements from the temple, making it difficult to approach even if there were killer assassins. As for the third place, it was Zhou Xing who came up with it, Lao Zhou, you should say it yourself. ”
Zhou Xing scratched his head embarrassedly: "I think there is another place that is very likely, and that is Jixian Zhai." Well, there is only one reason, Jixian Zhai is next to the imperial dining room, it is convenient to cook and deliver meals, and what the prince wants to order every day is not very noticeable. ”
"Hahaha-" Everyone burst out laughing.
Li Jiangyao nodded expressionlessly: "Don't guess, it's Jixian Zhai." ”
The leaders of the Reverse Scale Division looked at each other, and even Zhou Xing, who put forward this idea, was a little puzzled: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Li Jiangyao smiled slightly, and relayed what Lian Ji said to him just now, and finally he analyzed: "Wang Lao's people followed Lian Ji in the morning and went all the way to Taifu Mansion, which is now the command center of the Xuanjia Army. The brother who watched him came back to report that he had seen Di Xian return to the Taifu Mansion long after Lian Ji left in a hurry. Obviously, most of the benefactor's apprentices she wanted to see were Di Xian. This guy obviously didn't have any good intentions, he tricked Lianji to protect his sister Ruiji, in fact, to help him protect the prince. ”
Qiao Shengchun bowed slightly: "This is also very reasonable." Di Xian hid the prince and avoided the assassination of the Reverse Scale Division, so naturally he couldn't make a big show. And the people in charge of the guards are not much more expensive, and it is best to have faces with strong martial arts, so that they can be kept secret to the greatest extent and not infiltrated by our side in advance. What's more, that Renji was originally a killer and had a lot of experience in this area. ”
Wang Hai groaned: "I don't know how Lian Ji's martial arts are? ”
"Not bad, isn't it?" Li Jiangyao said lightly: "However, the so-called good can only be regarded as an ordinary good player." Lian Ji is very murderous, and often takes a vicious path when she makes moves, so it is suitable to be an assassin, but there is no need to worry about going head-to-head. ”
Qian Honglie, the head of the third section of the Reverse Scale Division, mentioned another matter: "I specially ordered someone to inquire about the situation of the dozen or so pro-soldiers. It is said that they are all elites trained by Xie Bao himself, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time with him, and their martial arts are very tough. If they face each other head-on, without several times the number of troops, I am afraid they will not be able to pose much of a threat to them. Assassin operations will become a little difficult because of these people. ”
Chief Instructor Xi Ouyang Qili was also worried: "The two sides can't fight for too long, otherwise it will alarm the surrounding Xuanjia Army, and they will fall into a heavy siege all of a sudden." ”
Li Jiangyao nodded: "I understand what you mean, I have already found the master who is responsible for playing the assassin?" You can rest assured that there is no problem. ”
Qiao Shengchun was curious: "Found it so soon?" I wonder what kind of sacredness the adults invited? ”
"I don't know if it's sacred." Li Jiangyao introduced: "At present, there are two of them. One of them was a monk named Hui Dian, who came from the Songshan Zen Temple. ”
"Huh?!" The people in the room exclaimed at the same time.
Li Jiangyao looked at them puzzled: "Is there anything wrong?" Or is Huidian famous? ”
"It's not just famous!" Ouyang Qili said: "It's simply world-shattering!" The first master of the Songshan Zen Monastery Warrior Monk Group, just by taking it out and talking about it, it can also bluff many people! ”
Zhou Xing asked Li Jiangyao: "Who is the other one?" ”
"Oh, the other one is not as famous as Hui Dian," Li Jiangyao said: "It is a delicate little beauty, although she is not very old, her kung fu is no worse than Hui Dian......
There was another exclamation in the room: "It can't be Xiahou Ninghan, right?!" ”
Li Jiangyao was slightly surprised: "I said, can you not be surprised?" Surprise me! ”
Murong Chui had previously told Shen Lie about the attack on the crown prince, and Shen Lie gave a brief introduction to his subordinates, so the daughter of Xiahou Mei, the third friend of the old year, left a deep impression on everyone.
Qiao Shengchun said with admiration: "Master Li, this time I am convinced!" It's no wonder that Lord Changshi will hand over the heavy responsibility to you, and in the blink of an eye, he has found two top masters! ”
Ouyang Qili also said: "With them, even if they directly break into the palace and rob people, it may not be a problem!" ”
Li Jiangyao was not familiar with the Central Plains martial arts, so he naturally didn't expect that the two helpers he met inadvertently were so profound.
Li Jiangyao's eyes swept over everyone one by one, as if he had returned to the smoky battlefield in the western frontier, and once again faced the elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and said loudly: "Since the conditions are complete, Di Xian has also been counted, and then according to the original plan, start to act separately." Brothers, Wang'er and Ben will work together to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow night, and this battle will be won! ”
"Swear to follow your lordship!" The crowd shouted in unison.
