As soon as Tian Mu heard that his subordinates had been killed near the imperial capital, he couldn't help but be angry, he said hello to Cheng Dong, said goodbye, and then hurried back to the Reverse Scale Division.

As soon as he entered the guard station, another subordinate came to report that the forbidden army's tiger and leopard cavalry had secretly transferred Rui Ji to Wannian County and detained her in a separate cell.

"Transfer to 10,000-year prison?" Tian Mu was puzzled: "What reason?" ”

A prisoner as important as Rui Ji is qualified to enjoy the treatment of the Imperial Prison, and suddenly he is put in a lax county prison, and the fool knows that there is a conspiracy behind it.

The subordinate replied: "Ouyang Lin deliberately did the opposite, saying that he wanted people to kidnap Rui Ji to see if the other party had the courage and ability." Not only that, but he also moved the torture room to Wannian, going in the morning and returning in the evening, specifically serving Rui Ji and forcing her to gradually confide in her information. ”

Tian Mu was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and at the same time secretly sighed that Ouyang Lin had strange ideas and his sword was biased.

Ouyang Lin's approach is different. He wants to use Rui Ji as bait, and at the same time, he knows that his opponent also knows that he will use Rui Ji as bait, so instead of hiding it, it is better to put the hook on the surface and force the person who wants to hijack Rui Ji to stand up and gamble.

If you don't save it, then you will watch Rui Ji confide the truth little by little, even including false information that framed others; If you want to save it, you must try to break into the seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact dangerous Wannian County cell.

Either way, Ouyang Lin and the Forbidden Army Tiger and Leopard Cavalry all have an absolute advantage, and they are almost sure to win.

In this case, does the Horse Mansion still dare to act rashly?

Tian Mu pondered for a moment and decided to make sufficient preparations and wait and see what happened.

If the Horse Mansion and the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army really accept the challenge, then he will watch the fire from the other side, and the yellow finch will be behind; If Murong Xue and Li Xi don't dare to move, then they will give up, Ouyang Lin can toss as much as he likes, anyway, Rui Ji is a woman, and she must not be able to squeeze out too many valuable things.

In comparison, the situation that happened in Lantian is worth his attention.

Although the momentum of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division was not as good as Shen Lie at that time, it was after all a dignified private soldier of the Son of Heaven, holding the power of life and death of the officials and people of the Holy Tang Dynasty. In the vicinity of Gyeonggi, it is a great shame to be killed three people in a row.

As the head of the reverse scale, Tian Mu can't help but pursue it.

He immediately called Zhu Junjie and others, and immediately gathered elite forces to strictly investigate the origin of the Lantian incident, and hunted down the group of murderers with mysterious identities. Especially why those people came to the imperial capital, whether they were the meticulous work of the anti-thieves, or the secret agents of the military, or the thieves and other Jiangyang thieves, must be found out immediately.

After receiving the order, the banners of the Reverse Scale Division immediately split up, some rushed to Lantian, and some scattered in the imperial capital, keeping an eye on the city gate and the inn and wine shop, secretly searching for the traces of suspicious people.

-

Just as the Scales Division was spreading its hands and launching an investigation into the mysterious murderer, the Pony Mansion was making final preparations for the operation.

Shen Lie, Murong Xue, Li Xi, Yuan Bin, and Shi Feng of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Intelligence Division of the Zhenjiang Army, the five of them were in the warm pavilion in the back garden, discussing secretly.

I only heard Shi Feng sneer and said: "That Ouyang Lin is very confident, he directly released his words and put Rui Ji in the county jail, just to wait for someone to rob the prison." This is the first time I've seen this approach. ”

Murong Xue's sword eyebrows tightened: "This guy and I are acquaintances, when he was in Luoyi, the eastern capital, he was a pretty powerful character." You think, in that environment at that time, daring not to give Xie Guang face, and directly poking the eyes of the Xuanjia Duwei, the courage of the heart is by no means extraordinary. ”

Yuan Bin smashed his mouth and said, "Fortunately, our real target is not Rui Ji, this time Ouyang Lin is probably going to be busy in vain." ”

"That's not necessarily," Li Xi smiled faintly: "The trap set by Ouyang Lin can still play a role for the people sent by Lao Jianhua." Whether the Jiangnan rebels want to rescue Rui Ji or kill her, they will inevitably have to break into the Wannian County Prison. ”

Shi Feng said to Shen Lie: "Shen Changshi, what happened in Lantian County the day before yesterday, do you think it could be that Lao Jianhua's people did it?" ”

Shen Lie bowed slightly: "Very likely." The Second Section has always been responsible for collecting, collating, and analyzing all kinds of intelligence, and it has the most information reports against the Jiangnan rebels, and it is also the easiest to find clues about suspicious people related to that side. Their people were killed in Lantian, which shows that Lao Jianhua's people are already close to the emperor. ”

Li Xi bowed slightly: "Then let's spread our eyes and keep an eye on the city, maybe the enemy will appear in the next two days." ”

"In particular, you have to pay attention to the 10,000-year prison," Yuan Bin added, "As the princess said, they know that it is a tiger's den, but for the sake of Rui Ji, a tiger, they have to break through anything." We're monitoring the perimeter and we're going to catch them all when the time comes! ”

Murong Xue said in a deep voice: "At the same time, we must also pay attention to Shen Changshi's safety, don't forget, whether it is Ouyang Lin or Rui Ji, they may have to deal with Lord Changshi." ”

Shi Feng said loudly: "I don't think it's just Lord Shen, General Murong and the princess also have to be careful. Han Duwei of the Imperial Capital Branch specially instructed that the brothers of the branch were responsible for this operation, and the three of you, including Xiao Yuan, should not come forward. ”

Shen Lie thought for a moment and shook his head: "Shen is worried, we may think about the situation simply. In addition to the masters sent by Ouyang Lin and Lao Jianhua, who are quite confident, we also have to face another gang. ”

"Who?" Murong Xue said curiously.

"It's the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division who just lost three spies in Lantian." Shen Lie said lightly: "In comparison, Ouyang Lin and they are just a temporary organization to investigate internal traitors, and the Reverse Scale Division is the biggest secret yamen in the imperial capital, isn't it?" ”

Shi Feng nodded: "What Lord Changshi said is right. Although Tian Mu is a fool, the emaciated camel of the Reverse Scale Division is bigger than a horse, and the strength is there after all, so he can't help but pay special attention to it. ”

Li Xi also agreed: "Especially after bringing down Wei Zixuan, I heard that Tian Mu was quite jealous of Ouyang Lin, for fear that he would snatch his position as the head of the anti-scale division, so it was reasonable to secretly keep an eye on the tiger and leopard rider's every move." ”

Shen Lie continued: "Shen is too familiar with Beiya. The foundation of the Reverse Scale Division in the imperial capital is gradually precipitated by more than ten generations, and the strength is strong and the whereabouts are secret, which is by no means a joke. As long as Tian Mu can use it properly, his strength far surpasses Ouyang Lin. After that, I don't believe they're going to stay out of it. ”

Yuan Bin frowned: "Listening to what you always say, the problem is indeed very tricky. The Reverse Scale Division turned its face ruthlessly before, and swept away the Imperial Capital Branch that captured us, and if it was involved in the situation at this moment, it would definitely still regard us as enemies. Calculate it this way, Ouyang Lin's tiger and leopard cavalry, Lao Jianhua's secret agent, and Tian Mu's anti-scale division, good guys, have to deal with the three forces at the same time. ”

Shi Feng couldn't help but worry: "We only have about thirty brothers now, I'm afraid it's the weakest one among the four people, it's not easy to do." ”

"There is a bad side to the problem, and there is a good side," Shen Lie smiled: "Just now Yuan Bin said that we have to deal with three groups of enemies at the same time, but think about it on the other hand, don't they also need to face three opponents at once, just like us?" For Ouyang Lin and Haw Par Qi, what is the difference between us, Lao Jianhua, and Tian Mu? For Tian Mu, who of the other three families is not his enemy? Needless to say, Lao Jianhua's people don't need to talk about it, as soon as they enter the imperial capital, except for themselves, they are all threats, isn't it? ”

Li Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "Uncle Shen is right. This pot of chicken, duck and fish stew, no one is in harmony with anyone, except for the enemy, it is the enemy, which one can think about it. ”

Murong Xue's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, as long as we try to muddy the water, will we be able to fish in troubled waters soon?" ”

"That's exactly what Shen meant." Shen Lie said loudly: "As Brother Shi Feng said just now, because the Imperial Capital Branch is dormant, among the four families, I am afraid that our strength is the weakest, at most it is on par with the rebels who came from afar. The only way to achieve the goal is to completely muddy the water and win in the chaos! ”

Li Xi asked, "Uncle Shen, how do you muddy the water?" ”

Shen Lie stroked his beard and said faintly: "First of all, we have to make it clear that there is no weak hand who is qualified to stir up the chaos in front of us. Whether it is Ouyang Lin, Tian Mu, including the people sent by Lao Jianhua, we can't underestimate it. ”

Hearing this, the three people present nodded one after another, indicating that they would not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Shen Lie continued: "If you want to muddy the waters, it is not enough to simply create chaos. Because all the chaos is only temporary, and this temporary length may be used to perform a single and short task, but it cannot guarantee the elimination of the master sent by Lao Jianhua in one fell swoop. Therefore, we must fundamentally plan to completely disrupt the positions of the enemies on all three sides. ”

Li Xi agreed: "Uncle Shen, the fundamental plan you are talking about should refer to the things that the three of them are most concerned about, right?" ”

"That's right, caring is messy. Only by attacking the enemy must be saved, can it play a miraculous effect. Shen Lie analyzed for everyone: "Let's talk about the two biggest interference factors first, Ouyang Lin's tiger and leopard riding and Tian Mu's anti-scale division, they are all concerned about different things. In my opinion, Ouyang Lin pretends to be the emperor in his heart, and Tian Mu is loyal to the queen, right? ”

Shi Feng nodded: "According to the intelligence, it is true. Without the support of the emperor, Ouyang Lin was just a mere seven-rank team, with no position and no power. Tian Mu's situation is similar, after the fall of Wei Zixuan, in order to protect himself, he took the initiative to take refuge in the Zhenguo Mansion, and Cheng Wen is his biggest backer now. ”

Murong Xue continued: "Since this is the case, then let's start with the emperor and empress, and disrupt Ouyang Lin and Tian Mu's formation at once, so that they have no time to take care of this secret battle in the imperial capital!" ”
