And Wuhou walked the rivers and lakes completely by virtue of his personal martial bravery.

Forcefully open the situation.

Of course, the strong force of the individual gives them access to a higher level of intelligence.

It can be said that the covert investigation team is very good at integrating fragmented information and extracting intelligence from it.

Wuhou, on the other hand, is oriented to high-end groups and directly obtains intelligence.

Now it seems that these two types of intelligence organizations have their own merits, although now it seems that the covert investigation team has shrunk its strength and seems to have fallen into disadvantage.

But in fact, whether it is Emperor Wu City or some powerful forces in the rivers and lakes, they all understand.

The two sides have always been on a par.

In this battle, it actually makes sense that the Holy Sect and Emperor Martial City chose to proceed in this way.

Because the battle between intelligence organizations is actually the least consumed and the least impactful for the two major forces.

not only made a gesture to the court, but also showed his heart without really breaking his bones,

At the same time, for the imperial court, what can really cause the imperial court to be jealous on the rivers and lakes, in addition to those top martial artists, is their pervasive intelligence ability.

The intelligence organizations of these forces were not even much weaker than those of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, after all, organizations like the Holy Sect had existed for more than two hundred years.

And Wuhou is all strong in martial arts.

赵少雷 says:

"This time we are just acting as a backup group, a support group.

The real leaders are the seniors of the covert investigation team. ”

Senior Brother Cheng says:

"That's right, a young team like Zhao Shaolei is here this time to gain insight and gain experience.

The strength of the third senior brother to prepare to compete with Wuhou has basically been assembled. With the ways that our Imperial Capital Secret Investigation Team had arranged before, they all infiltrated.

This time, a total of 18 secret investigation teams across the country were mobilized, and the number of people exceeded 500!

But I believe that the martial marquis of Emperor Wu City will not be less than a hundred.

So in addition to these eighteen teams, we also have at least twenty team leader level figures also here! ”

Liu Xin was stunned when he heard this number, and asked in surprise:

"Senior Brother Cheng, if you say so, the number of Great Cheng Realm martial artists on both sides of the Holy Sect Martial Emperor City ...... Coupled with the Dacheng Realm among those good deeds of the Jianghu people, the number of Dacheng Realm martial artists who gathered in the imperial capital this time may exceed a hundred? ”

Senior Brother Cheng shook his head with a solemn face:

"If it is as expected by the third senior brother, many good people from the entire rivers and lakes will come to the imperial capital to participate in this grand event!

Even if it's just a bystander, it is estimated that it will attract a lot of people.

Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that there will be at least more than 200 martial artists above the Dacheng Realm on the rivers and lakes this time.

It is estimated that you Jinyiwei and Dongchang will receive orders soon, and your pressure will not be small. ”

Liu Xin immediately understood, although this time on the surface, it was a confrontation between Emperor Wu City and the Holy Sect, but the affairs of the rivers and lakes were never so simple.

It is estimated that there will be a lot of people who fish in troubled waters, trying to take advantage of this incident.

More than two hundred Dacheng Realm martial artists!

This number is almost half of the number of top masters in the rivers and lakes ten years ago.

This is also because in the past ten years, Emperor Martial City has integrated all the exercises, and even launched some exercises suitable for low-level martial artists.

It has raised the individual average combat power of the entire Zhengyang Jianghu and even the Zhengyang Imperial Court to a terrifying level.

Only then can a battle between Martial Emperor City and the Holy Sect gather so many high-end martial artists.

When two tigers fight, there will be damage.

There are many bloodsuckers on the rivers and lakes, and they come to take advantage of the two tigers fighting each other and have no time to take care of other people.

And the Demon Path...... Except for the Evil Sect, the rest of the Demon Dao has not been encircled and suppressed by the Holy Sect and Emperor Wu City.

As a righteous path sect, of course, you have to clear the demon path on weekdays, otherwise how can you advertise yourself as a righteous path sect.

Liu Xin smashed his tongue and thought in his heart:

Mi Yusong, Wang Zhongjie, the two East Factory, and the leaders of Jinyiwei, are estimated to be worried for a while. It's really an idea of the emperor, and the people below have to work until they die.

Liu Xin may not have such an idea before, but after really working as a brocade guard for two months, Liu Xin still feels that being a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes is the most comfortable thing.

Well, become the commander of the Jinyi Guard as soon as possible, complete the tasks of the sect, abdicate and make way for Xian, and then go to the end of the world.

Senior Brother Cheng saw the change in Liu Xin's expression, and at the same time, he looked around and found that the expressions of these young junior brothers were all similar.

Everyone seemed to feel sorry for the court together.

Senior Brother Cheng smiled slightly and said:

"Do you think that a small half of the masters in the entire rivers and lakes are gathered in the imperial capital this time, and the emperor is estimated to have trouble sleeping?"

As soon as this question came out, many people nodded subconsciously, only Liu Xin directly realized that since Senior Brother Cheng asked so, it is estimated that the answer will definitely not be so simple.

Sure enough, Senior Brother Cheng's next sentence was:

"Then you guys are underestimating the imperial court too much, and the third senior brother and that Cheng Yuyu from Emperor Martial City can't think of this?

If it really made the emperor uncomfortable and made the entire Zhengyang court feel uneasy, they would definitely make some objections to it.

We were even forced to move this battlefield outside the imperial capital, but the court clearly acquiesced in our actions.

That can only show that they have a perfect plan, and they can guarantee that even if we Jianghu people make a mess in the imperial capital, it will not have any impact on them. ”

"How is this possible? These are more than two hundred Dacheng Realm martial artists! One of the disciples asked,

Two hundred Dacheng Realm is enough to fight against an army of thousands of people, and if such a force attacks the imperial city...... The consequences are unimaginable.

I heard that Emperor Zhengyang was only protected by forty or fifty Dacheng Realm martial artists.

Senior Brother Cheng shook his head and said to this junior brother:

"Do you know...... By the way, you are a covert investigation team, and you are an intelligence organization in your own right, how can you not know about it? ”

Hearing Senior Brother Cheng say this, many people's faces showed doubts.

"Next month is the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, and this month, in addition to the generals who must be stationed in place, all the commanders and envoys from all over the country, and even the governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have rushed back.

Among them are Shangguan Ba, Tuoba Yunhan, Zhu Guangxiao and so on.

These people returned, each with his own personal guard.

It is equivalent to the current imperial capital city, there are at least thirty or forty generals guarding one side and their most confidant guards.

And a commander can bring two hundred personal guards, plus the personal guards of the various noble mansions in the city.

The number of this group of people is enough to offset the Jianghu people we attracted from the conflict between the Holy Sect and Martial Emperor City this time.

The third senior brother said that the emperor would definitely find a way to use the power of Xungui. With so many warriors appearing in the imperial capital, do you think this group of nobles can still hide the hole cards in their hands?

Coupled with the forbidden army and the pro-army, do you think we will really be able to change the situation in the imperial court?

Jianghu is a place where personal martial arts are emphasized, and in the face of a truly well-equipped forbidden army, we are only slightly stronger enemies.

More than 200 Dacheng realms can theoretically neutralize an army of thousands of people.

However, in the actual operation process, as long as 5,000 fully equipped regular troops were enough to be on a par with 200 Dacheng Realm martial artists. ”

Just as Senior Brother Chen was about to continue to explain to these junior brothers, a person suddenly came in from outside the door.

In fact, before he came in, Liu Xin, Senior Brother Cheng, and Zhao Shaolei who were present had already heard his footsteps, and this person's footsteps used a special frequency.

With the speed of the footsteps, the force is used as a hint, which is a special way of transmitting information to the covert investigation team.

At the same time, there is another way to say that the frequency of this person's footsteps is that he brings an urgent report.

This kind of change in the frequency of footsteps is only understood by Senior Brother Cheng and Zhao Shaolei.

Senior Brother Cheng's face couldn't help but sink, even Zhao Shaolei's expression changed, and Liu Xin saw the expressions of the two, and he also had a faint guess in his heart.

Now that the entire imperial capital can use the urgent report, it must involve the battle between the secret investigation team and the Wuhou.

Senior Brother Cheng even guessed that it was estimated that this confrontation between Martial Emperor City and the Holy Sect had officially started somewhere.

Somewhere outside the imperial capital, there is a post station fifty miles away.

This post station is actually a secret stronghold of the Holy Sect's secret investigation team.

The establishment of this base was completed 50 years ago, so this base is equivalent to the highest level of secrecy.

But just when Liu Xin went to Qianhusho, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came to this post station.

This is a group of people dressed in the official uniform of the Ministry of Works.

Several people in the inn did not notice anything unusual at first.

But Luo Cheng, as the leader of the group, found abnormalities in the walking posture of these people.

Most of the Ministry of Industry are civil officials, except for the lowest-level craftsmen who need to manage those craftsmen, who may be some martial artists with cultivation, most of the real people who sit in the duty room and drink tea are scholars.

But Luo Cheng found that these people at least had a martial arts background, but they were wearing official uniforms from the sixth rank to the fifth grade, and this kind of official uniform could not be worn on the warriors at all, and the group of literati would not allow this kind of thing to happen, and there were more details that could not hide the fact that they were martial artists.

Because a strict order has been issued from above recently. The confrontation between the covert investigation team and Wuhou could start at any time, so Luo Cheng kept an eye on it.

Later, he found weapons in the bags of these people, and this group of people came to the post station at this point in time.

Luo Cheng could almost identify them as the martial marquis of Emperor Wu City.

But as a member of the old secret investigation team, he did not act rashly, but passed on the news first.

But less than half an hour after he delivered the news, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

This group of people is not going to be bait.

Because he heard the team leader say that the number of martial marquis in Emperor Martial City is not large, but each of them has an extremely high level of cultivation, at least they can compete with the team leader-level figures.

So if the group of people who came were all martial marquis, then with their strength, it would be impossible for themselves, a martial artist at the peak of the small Cheng Realm, to discover the clues.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he knew why they were doing this trick.

It's just to force yourself to pass the message to the upline.

And the real Wuhou may have found my upline along the carrier pigeon that was released.

When Luo Cheng thought of this, he suddenly became angry.

You can lose, you can die, but you can't coax.

Luo Cheng secretly told the other people in the post station about this.

We've been working together for almost decades, and we share the same heart.

All made the same choice.

That's killing.

Then the battle suddenly broke out in the post station, and Luo Cheng was surprised to find that those who were wearing the official uniforms of the Ministry of Industry were not very high in cultivation.

These people in the post station took them down easily, and finally left a living mouth, and under Luo Cheng's questioning, he confessed.

He said that this was a mysterious man with a very high cultivation, and he ran to their hill and brought them down, and gave them a set of official uniforms, and let them enter the inn, and then they didn't have to do anything.

Everyone knows what happened next, Luo Cheng and the others suddenly attacked, and this group of ordinary mountain bandits suffered directly.

And after discovering this incident, Luo Cheng immediately wiped out all the mountain fees, and rushed to the imperial capital with a few people all the way to the death.

He couldn't make contact with any of the members of the covert investigation team right now, and there was only one thing he could do now:

That is, it is necessary to let the secret investigation team of the imperial capital, and the various secret strongholds know that their post station has been exposed.

They must cut off all intelligence channels and leads related to this station.

And in Luocheng, they had just stepped on the official road and advanced less than ten miles.

There are two masters who attack one after the other, and both of them have the cultivation of Dacheng Realm.

Luo Cheng and the others had no power to resist at all.

Thankfully, their purpose was accomplished.

The message they wanted to get across has already been delivered through a number of other channels.

Half an hour later, someone brought the news to the brothel.

After Senior Brother Cheng heard the news, everyone with serious faces said:

"We must evacuate from here now, and everyone will go to their predetermined points and wait for the next order."

"Yes!"

Liu Xin found that Zhao Shaolei and those brothers had cooperated very tacitly, and everyone's action was also very strong.

After Senior Brother Cheng finished speaking, there was no clue in this brothel.

After dealing with everything, Senior Brother Cheng said to Liu Xin:

"We came with great fanfare, and we have to go with great fanfare."

"But we will still be suspected by others."

"So I did some back-up."

Just after everyone had evacuated the brothel, it didn't take long for a team of brocade guards to come outside the brothel.

Guo Yong rushed in with someone and saw Liu Xin in the garden at a glance.

He came up directly to report: "Qianhu, according to your instructions, this place has been surrounded. ”

Liu Xin glanced at Senior Brother Cheng without a trace and nodded.

Guo Yong immediately ordered: "Search for me." ”

Senior Brother Cheng didn't explain much to Liu Xin, because he soon understood everything.

A few brocade guards escorted two people out of the two small buildings on the left and right.

Liu Xin glanced at these two people, but still couldn't guess what medicine was in Senior Brother Cheng's gourd.

Senior Brother Cheng came to his side, and the internal force was bundled, pressing the sound into a straight line, and only Liu Xin could hear Senior Brother Cheng's voice.

This method of sound transmission can only be used by martial artists above the middle grade Dachengjing, and it must require extremely condensed internal force, and the means of manipulating internal force must be superb.

Ordinary mid-grade Dacheng realm martial artists can't do it.

This can actually be said to be a super practical ability, but unfortunately it has extremely high requirements for the degree of internal strength and refinement.

And the distance of this sound transmission is not too far.

But for Senior Brother Cheng and Liu Xin's current distance, it is completely enough.

"These two people are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect."

A trace of shock flashed in Liu Xin's eyes, he didn't expect Senior Brother Cheng to even be ready for this!

The inner city of the imperial capital, one of the four major flower towers, is a lookout platform.

The Wangkong Terrace has eight floors, full of ten zhang high, and can be said to be the best among the many folk buildings in the imperial capital.

What outsiders don't know is that the actual owner of Wangkong Terrace is the Thousand Households in Jinyi Wei Nei Zhongcheng, that is, in the hands of Wang Zhongjie, which is one of the most important industries in his hands.

There is a real lookout platform on the top floor of the lookout platform, and Pang Chunhua, one of the four heavenly kings of Wuhou in Wudi City, is standing on the lookout platform, looking at the scenery of the imperial capital.

Beside him, there was a brocade guard Qianhu, Ying Dongning.

"Ying Qianhu, can Commander Wang still be satisfied with the price we gave this time?"

Pang Chunhua doesn't look like a person who has just turned 30, but like a middle-aged man in his fifties.

It may have something to do with the fact that he had experienced a revenge before.

In just ten years, he experienced things that ordinary people may not have experienced in their lifetime.

These many experiences are directly reflected in his face.

Ying Dongning smiled, stretched out his hand and leaned on the railing, and said:

"One hundred thousand taels of gold, what a big deal. You Wuhou are so rich, does Shangguan Dao know about it? ”

Pang Chunhua retracted his gaze and snorted coldly:

"That's a piece of shit!"

He didn't hesitate to angrily reprimand the acting city lord Shangguan Dao, in his eyes, it seemed that Shangguan Dao was not a fart.

Just listen to him continue:

"If Shangguan Dao is not the city lord's own brother, what use can he have. will only show off his martial arts in Emperor Wu City, and make some small moves, didn't he also give you silver, don't think we don't know about his small actions. I also advise you, don't get too close to him, he's... Some of them are stunned! ”

Ying Dongning heard the faint hidden meaning in Pang Chunhua's tone, and couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Pang Chunhua glanced at him, and a mocking smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Ying Qianhu, the show is over, don't think about those messy things."

Ying Dongning retracted his divergent thoughts and followed Pang Chunhua's gaze in the direction of the outer city of the imperial capital.

Pang Chunhua had a faint smile on his face, which touched the deep wrinkles on his face.
