Chapter 207: Preventing Assassination
As the general of the Eastern Capital, Xie Bao did not care about the safety of the crown prince Li Bing, but he did not want to mobilize the army, just to protect such a person, and stirred up the entire Luoyi to be unpeaceful. Di Xian saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and no matter how much he persuaded him, he was still indifferent, so he had to give up for the time being, and sighed depressedly: "Alas, it would be otherwise, Brother Leopard." If you are embarrassed and can't lock off martial law in the whole city right now, then I won't be reluctant anymore, little brother. However, at the very least, it is always possible to mobilize troops to raise their alert first? ”
"Do you still have to say that?" Xie Bao said: "Ziwei Palace was so noisy last night, and the troops under my command have long been on alert. ”
"Okay, good," Di Xian hurriedly climbed up the pole: "It's best to mobilize more soldiers and horses, and keep a close eye on the city gates and important yamen offices to prevent them from ......being destroyed by spies."
Xie Bao looked a little impatient, got up and said, "Okay, okay, do you still need you to teach me how to guard the Eastern Capital?" The Reverse Scale Division assassinated Li Bing, and all kinds of articles were made in the palace, why do you let me watch what I do outside the palace? ”
"Prevent them from making noise." Di Xian said anxiously: "It is precisely because we want to make a fuss in the palace that the enemy will definitely disturb the outside of the palace first, so that we can take care of one thing and lose the other, so as to facilitate their actions." Brother Leopard, if you take careful precautions early, you can limit the damage of the Reverse Scale Division to the greatest extent. ”
Xie Bao's least favorite thing in his life is that others teach him how to do things, seeing that Di Xian is going to continue to be noisy, Xie Bao snorted disdainfully: "Just take care of your own affairs, don't point fingers at me!" ”
After that, he left Di Xian and went out without looking back.
Di Xian looked at Xie Bao's back as he gradually moved away, and smashed his fist on the table, while scolding in his heart. Xie Bao's self-righteousness is likely to become the biggest flaw in the entire defense system, and the Reverse Scale Division will definitely seize this flaw and carry out a fatal blow to Luoyi. But helplessly, Xie Guang handed over the entire Eastern Capital to this fool before setting out on the expedition, and even if he had three heads and six arms, he had to obediently obey orders.
Di Xian was so angry that he couldn't help it, and he was stunned in place for a long time before he cheered up and went to see Lianji.
At this time, Lian Ji was already waiting in the imperial dining room and was a little irritable, and when she saw Di Xian coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward: "I said, Master Di, are you playing with the slave?" ”
Di Xian had already had a fire in Xie Bao's belly, but when he heard Lian Ji's mockery, he immediately reprimanded angrily: "What do you call this?" Don't forget, saving your sister has to rely on Di in the end. ”
Lian Ji smiled slightly, not to be outdone, and said, "Master Di, you don't have to lose your temper with the slave family, let alone play tricks on the slave family. In the final analysis, I owe you a favor to your master, not to you. He promised a long time ago that as long as I killed Cheng Kaiyang, he would let me and my sister go free, and everyone would have nothing to do with each other from now on. I've already inquired clearly, and the person holding my sister is you. If it weren't for you saying that because of Murong Xue's relationship, my sister would have been in danger at this time, I wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with you, and I promised to help you protect the prince. ”
When Di Xian heard Lian Ji say this, he secretly sighed that he was really unlucky, not only to be pressed and restrained by Xie Bao's stupid pig, but also to be ridiculed by the slut in front of him. However, he was very deep in the city, and he still smiled quietly on the surface: "Hehe, the little girl really has a lot of eyes." Well, I don't know how to talk darkly, and the task of guarding the crown prince and Murong Xue did fall on Di Mou, including Rui Ji, who was also counted among them. However, Master is not in Luoyi, and if you can't let your sister go, I can't be the master. As soon as you came looking for someone a few days ago, I immediately sent my men to Michi to ask Master. As long as he speaks, you can leave immediately. Anyway, I'm going to have to wait for a reply now, so why don't you help me? ”
"Why should the slave family help you? The plague gods of the Reverse Scale Division, who named and named the prince to find the prince's bad luck, what do we have to do with our sisters? Lian Ji asked rhetorically with a smile.
Di Xian shook his head and explained unhurriedly: "Lian Ji, Lian Ji, why are you so confused? The people that the Reverse Scale Division wants to kill are the prince and Murong Xue, and who is Murong Xue? It's your sister Ruiji's man, your own brother-in-law. With the style of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, will they easily let your sister go? Besides, there is also you, assassinating a court official, regarded as an accomplice, and the crime is unforgivable. Cheng Kaiyang's case, they have already found out clearly, can they easily let go of your sisters? Joke! ”
Lian Ji was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "In this way, the slave family was firmly eaten to death by you?" ”
"Not necessarily." Di Xian still had a gentle expression: "For today's plan, only by supporting the crown prince Li Bing to ascend to the throne, you and Rui Ji can have a peaceful birthday." Lord Taifu's soldiers and horses have already defeated the imperial army one after another, and the Turks have also successfully entered the customs at the same time, and it will not be long before the imperial capital is completely finished. At that time, it will be difficult for the Beiya Reverse Scale Division to protect itself, who will have time to come to your sisters' trouble? In addition, your brother-in-law Murong Xue has risen to prominence and become a high-ranking official by virtue of his relationship with the crown prince, won't you and your sister be at ease from now on? ”
After saying that, he stared at Lianji confidently, waiting for the other party's reaction.
Lian Ji pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I used to hear my sister praise you, saying that you are smart and resourceful. Today, it seems that there is really a set. Well, the slave family was persuaded by your rhetoric, and the good man will do it to the end, so he will accompany you on another ride. ”
Di Xian showed an expression of "I knew you would be like this" and said with a smile: "That's right." With Miss Lian Ji's help, we are like a tiger here. Your sister Rui Ji is in Jixian Zhai next door at the moment, but it's not convenient for you to meet now, so wait a little later, I'll make proper arrangements. The most important thing at the moment is to ask you to help me with the staff staff again to prevent the assassination of the Reverse Scale Division assassins, and what other arrangements are needed, let's try to be safe. ”
Lian Ji nodded in agreement, and then followed Di Xian outside. The two of them specially surrounded the outer wall of Jixian Zhai, carefully circled twice, and looked around to study.
Lian Ji asked as she walked, "This place...... Who picked it? ”
"Oh, I personally chose it before," Di Xian was a little curious: "What?" Is there something wrong with it? ”
Lian Ji put her hands behind her back and smiled slightly approvingly: "Not only is there nothing wrong, on the contrary, the arrangement here is very clever!" The courtyard of Jixianzhai is not large, and it looks inconspicuous from the outside. In addition, it was located in the northwest corner of the palace, separated from the harem by some distance, and there were few houses to hide around, greatly reducing the conditions for the Assassins to lurk; At the same time, this place is relatively quiet, and no one usually comes. Even if you go to the imperial dining room to pick up the food, you won't go around the Jixian Zhai courtyard to visit. It's just ......"
"But what?" Di Xian asked with concern: "The stakes are very high, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Lian Ji smiled faintly, raised her hand and said, "These subordinates of yours are really too laymen. It is better to arrange a secret sentry like them, it is better to poke it directly on the side of the road and stand on the post. ”
That's what Di Xian wanted to hear the most, and asked with interest: "Oh? What's the door here, how inappropriate the dark whistle is, you can quickly talk about it. ”
Lian Ji glanced at Ji Xianzhai again, and then said, "You don't want to be noticed by the people of the Reverse Scale Division that there is something unusual here, so you let all your men hide in the shadows, this is not wrong in itself. However, according to their kind of hiding method, it is no problem to deceive ordinary people, but in the eyes of professional killers, it is like child's play. ”
After a slight pause, she continued, "The first is to choose a location. Your people are more hidden, but they're almost all places that the Assassins like to choose, which poses a problem. Wouldn't it be hilarious if the people of the Scales Division were to approach here secretly, and suddenly they would notice that there were people hiding in every key location? Secondly, there is the way of hiding. They only hid in the bushes and flowers, without even the slightest camouflage on them, and when they touched the brighter ones, they could find several of them from a distance, as if they were playing. ”
Di Xian nodded again and again: "That's true, so what should be done?" ”
"Two or three vantage points are sufficient," replied Renhime, "and, as far away from this place as possible." As long as it is convenient to observe the surrounding movements, and there are appropriate means of alarm contact, a little away, you can not only avoid exposing Jixianzhai, but also try to expand the scope of vigilance. ”
"Okay, I'll make a note of that, and I'll make adjustments later. What else? You just said that the scope of the alert was expanded. Di Xian continued to ask for advice.
Lian Ji continued: "The people who observe the guards on the periphery and those who stop the assassins in the inner circle must be properly configured and have a clear division of labor. To set up a sentry in a high place, only three or five people with a keen sense of smell and strong eyesight are needed. The rest must be true masters and not afraid of death. Combine these people into two fists, no matter where the warning is, and adopt the strategy of blocking with one punch and protecting the target with the other. ”
Di Xian agreed: "Well, just do as you say." I think it's okay to have a bigger fist to block and a smaller fist to guard Jixianzhai? ”
"Yes, it's okay to have fewer people to protect Jixianzhai, but it's still the same sentence just now, you must be a real master." Lian Ji asked while thinking, "Is there a way to retreat?" ”
"What do you mean by retreat?"
"If the Assassins choose to attack, their momentum is unstoppable, and the reinforcements from outside are delayed, my sister and they must move to a new safe place as soon as possible so that they can disrupt the other party's plans."
Di Xian nodded, casually glanced at the Ximen Guard Office located outside the palace wall, and said, "I have already arranged this matter in advance. Although General Xie Bao's troops are in the palace, there should not be the situation you said. But just in case, when it really gets to that point, I'll take everyone out of the way. ”
