Chapter Seventy-One: Hostages

Looking at the kind smiling faces of the emperor and his wife, there was no indication that someone had happened in the Taiji Palace to steal Qingluan's supreme order.

The so-called supreme instruction is actually a string of passwords.

No one knows about this among the people, but it is not a secret in the army or even among countries, and even military fans on the Internet know it very well.

This password, known as the supreme command, is the key to controlling the national intelligent program.

With this string of passwords, you can have unlimited permissions with Qingluan.

Not only Datang, but other countries also have similar mechanisms, it can be said that as long as you control the highest command of a country's intelligent program, you can completely paralyze the country in an instant!

Therefore, the supreme directive is also the top secret of a country.

Yang Junyu and Amman walked side by side in the crowd, observing the situation around them while listening to Wei Jie's explanation.

After listening to it, I felt that something was wrong, so I asked, "Sister, I have a question." In other words, no one will know where the supreme order is placed, right? Not to mention that Hayes is a well-known person, so instead of letting him steal this, why not let him assassinate His Majesty? I feel that this success rate is a little higher. ”

Although this is a bit contradictory, it is really true.

After all, the emperor and empress were standing on the city wall, and Hayes only had to reach out and push it, which was much easier than stealing the code.

"First of all, assassinating the emperor is not that easy, not everyone has the skills of you. Second, even if it succeeds, what can it do? Then they will be subjected to a frenzied retaliation. As long as they don't want to go to war, they won't do such a thing! Wei Jie replied.

That's the same thing...... Yang Junyu nodded slightly, but he thought about this matter too simply.

Amman, who was next to him, also explained: "In fact, every emperor will decide on the day he ascends the throne. But only Qingluan and Zongzheng Temple know. The emperor could be changed at any time during his reign. But once the emperor has an accident, Qingluan and Zongzheng Temple will announce this heir. ”

Hearing this explanation, Yang Junyu felt a bit like the secret reserve system set by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.

The crown prince was decided early, but only the emperor and a few special courtiers knew. And during the reign of the emperor, he could change his mind at any time.

Until the moment the edict was announced, no one knew who would sit on the dragon chair.

Such a system is quite beneficial, and it avoids infighting because of the succession to the greatest extent.

As the old saying goes, no one can refuse to stand up for it!

The death and resurrection of the court because of this various factional fighting is not beneficial to the country at all.

The most typical is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone knows that Emperor Taizong ascended the throne through the Xuanwumen Change, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that to the point where he can't think about it.

After all, the achievements are great, and there are many talents under him. If Li Jiancheng becomes the emperor in the end, let's not talk about what will happen to Emperor Taizong himself. None of his generals would allow such an outcome.

So even if Emperor Taizong himself didn't want to rebel, the gang of people under his command would force him to rebel.

After all, what are you messing up with you? If you don't, then what are our efforts over the years?

And now the system of the Tang Dynasty has fundamentally solved the problem of factional struggle.

The first is that all the royal family has entered the army, and they have been in the military all their lives.

The most important thing is that you have two names from birth and you can hide your identity. This avoids premature contact with the civilian government to the greatest extent.

The second is this secret reserve system, Zongzheng Temple and Qingluan supervise each other and cooperate with each other.

The cabinet ministers did not know how many children the emperor had, how old they were, whether they were male or female.

Naturally, this kind of factional struggle was avoided to the greatest extent.

"I see......"

Yang Junyu nodded, if this is the case, these things can be explained.

At this time, Wei Jie spoke: "Night cat, at ten o'clock, the one with a can of beer, pay attention." Mandrill, go and help. ”

"Understood!"

After agreeing, Yang Junyu walked forward slowly, and soon saw a middle-aged man wearing casual clothes and holding a can of beer.

Although he had a beer in his hand and took two sips, his attention was clearly not on the wine.

I wasn't watching the show either, but I was looking around from time to time, as if looking for something.

Yang Junyu stood beside him, observing him with his peripheral vision.

"Judging from the information, this person's account has some problems, so control it first. Don't be exposed. ”

"Understood!" Yang Junyu agreed, and then came to the other party's side.

"Hello!"

Seeing Yang Junyu suddenly say hello, the person opposite was obviously a little surprised, and before he could react, he had already punched him in the stomach.

Humans have scattered plexuses in their abdomen, which can also cause coma when hit hard.

Before the other party could react, he felt that his eyes were dark, and then his body was about to fall.

Yang Junyu held it up, and at the same time caught the half can of beer in his hand: "Ouch, this is how much you drank." ”

At this time, Qu Jianbin had already walked over: "I'm sorry, this is my friend, I drank too much......"

As he spoke, he had already taken him over: "I'll take him to the side to rest, thank you brother." ”

"You're welcome."

Then Qu Jianbin helped the other party to leave and handed it over to the nearby Special Operations Department to conduct a surprise investigation.

"Moon Rabbit, that dwarf in front of you!" Wei Jie spoke again.

Amman took two steps forward and put his left hand around the shoulder of the man in front of him.

As soon as the other party was about to speak, he felt a cold thing stick to his neck.

By this time, a slender blade had popped out of the middle finger of Amman's left hand, sticking to his skin.

"If you don't want to die, be quiet!" Amman said expressionlessly.

Then, regardless of his reaction, he directly pulled him to the forked street next to him, and then pushed him from behind.

The man staggered a few steps forward, and then was pulled into the darkness by several men in black special operations suits.

Then Wei Jie began to roll out the names one by one, and the members of the secret guards hidden in the crowd controlled them all without attracting the attention of the people around them.

The main reason is that there are too many people, and now there are nearly 100,000 people on Suzaku Street, and there is no time to pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.

"How many?" Yang Junyu asked.

"Eight. But I don't know how many people are left. According to the temporary interrogation of these people, their identities can be basically determined. Someone would contact them every quarter of an hour to inquire about the situation, and I asked them to obediently cooperate in replying to each other. Wei Jie said.

"Can't you let Qingluan track it backwards?"

"It's too short to find it all at once, but it's narrowed down. Night cats, moon rabbits, mandrills, and white-faced monkeys, the four of you move towards the Geng-6 area. Wei Jie gave the order.

"Understood!"

At this time, Mei Jianshi opened his mouth and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"I'm looking for it, let's get this order under control first." Wei Jie replied.

"I'm a white-faced monkey and have spotted a suspicious person, marked, and observing."

The white-faced monkey is Mei Jianshi's code name, and he is also the closest to the sixth district of Geng.

Wei Jie in the conference room glanced at the hundreds of screens in front of him and found the person marked by Mei Jianshi.

Then quickly take a screenshot for facial comparison and view the data.

Three minutes later, Wei Jie picked up the teacup: "There is no doubt, there is no problem with the information." ”

At this time, the other three also went to the sixth district of Geng and observed in the crowd.

This side is far away from Taiji Palace, and there are not too many people, basically in the second half of Suzaku Street.

Fortunately, there are not many people, so it is not so crowded, although the number is small, it is definitely not a lot, at least not like the state of shoulder to shoulder in front.

There are still long queues at the food stalls next to it, and people are taking pictures of the actors dancing on the flying boats near the middle.

A few streamers were either looking for a delicious stall, judging the dancers on the deck, and chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room.

A parade of this scale is only available in Chang'an, while other cities celebrate Shangyuan in different ways.

For example, there are such boats in Luoyang, but not on the main street, but along the Luoshui.

There are also activities to put river lanterns on the riverside, and on the Chang'an side, there will be Kong Ming lanterns at twelve o'clock.

Other cities also celebrate the Shangyuan Festival according to different customs in different places, but it is certainly not as large as Chang'an.

Passing through the crowd of people, Yang Junyu's eyes swept and suddenly saw the back of a man.

This person seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in Yang Junyu's opinion, it was extremely weird.

Not because the man was wearing a traditional robe with wide sleeves, or because he was unimpressed by the stalls around him.

But judging from his walking posture, this person has obviously not practiced martial arts, but every time he lands, he is like a master, solid and powerful.

It feels like a stupid boy who doesn't know anything has been forcibly instilled with skills for decades. It just has the cultivation of a master, but it does not have the habits, experience, mentality and vision of a master.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he seemed to be stunned, Amman next to him asked and followed his line of sight.

"I always feel like that person is a little weird." Yang Junyu replied.

"If it's suspicious, take a good look! Mark it out. Wei Jie's voice sounded in the headphones.

Yang Junyu agreed and marked the person.

Wei Jie immediately mobilized the drone to shoot and began to compare faces.

Three minutes later, she ordered again: "This guy does have a problem!" Grab it! Be careful not to alarm the people around you. ”

"Yes!"

Several people agreed in unison, and then slowly surrounded each other.

The man was walking down the street, thinking that the time was almost up and that it was time to ask the others about it.

Before connecting to the communication, I subconsciously looked around left and right, and found nothing suspicious.

Neither Yang Junyu nor Amman looked at him.

However, when he swept past Qu Jianbin, he saw the other party's sturdy man and subconsciously took a second look.

Just at such a glance, he found that the other party was also looking at him.

It is actually a normal thing for people to look at each other, but after meeting their gaze, Qu Jianbin subconsciously shifted his gaze.

It was such a simple action that made him feel that something was wrong and suddenly turned around.

However, it was this turn that made Qu Jianbin open his mouth and yell: "Stop! ”

When he heard this loud roar, he immediately turned and ran.

Yang Junyu next to him was a little helpless, the other party's turn leg was not strong, it was obviously just a simple turn.

roared like this, but he was exposed first.

But there is no way to do this, so I can only accelerate under my feet and rush over, and control it as soon as possible.

However, the distance between the two sides was not close, and when he saw that there were other people around him rushing towards him, the other party looked left and right, and actually rushed directly towards the crowd queuing up at the stall in front of him.

"Not good! He's going to take hostages! ”

Yang Junyu sped up and ran towards the other party, but it was too late.

This person directly stretched out his left hand and pulled a cheongsam woman in front of the stall over and blocked him in front of him.

At the same time, with a flick of his right hand, a dagger had bounced out of his sleeve, and he grabbed it in his hand and waved it.

"Don't move! Don't come here! Or I'll kill her! ”

Yang Junyu and the others stopped helplessly and surrounded him in a semicircle.

The people around all turned their heads to look when they heard the roar here, but fortunately, the street was already noisy, and they noticed that there were not too many people here.

Yang Junyu, who stopped, looked at each other and raised his eyebrows helplessly.

This person put his left hand around the hostage's neck and blocked him in front of him, and grabbed the dagger with his right hand and waved it at Qu Jianbin and the others in front of him, and his emotions seemed to be very excited, "Did you hear that!" Don't come here! ”

"Click...... Click......"

As he yelled, the rhythmic sound of gnawing and chewing sounded in his ears.

Looking at it from the sidelines, it turned out that the hostage he had grabbed was holding a fried fragrant grilled squid in his hand and gnawing on it one by one.

Ruan Yaxuan didn't expect that if no guests came out to shop during the Shangyuan Festival, they would be taken hostage.

However, this did not affect her mood of shopping, and she still watched the excitement while eating grilled squid, as if she was not caught at all.

Seeing the kidnappers looking at him, Ruan Yaxuan raised his head: "What do you see me doing?" ”

After thinking about it, he handed the squid in his hand to his mouth: "Do you want to eat it?" ”

This expected unfolding caused the kidnapper's brain to shut down a little, but he quickly reacted and put the dagger on her neck: "Shut up! Or I'll kill you! ”

"What's the use of you killing me?" Ruan Yaxuan asked rhetorically, "Kill me, and they will rush over and kill you!" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Yang Junyu: "Look at this head." ”

Then pointed at Qu Jianbin: "Look at this piece again!" Which one are you the opponent? Not to mention that the two of them are on it together! ”

"Shut up!"

"Make no mistake about it, they're your threat, I'm not! It's better to say that I'm the only one who can help you now. Ruan Yaxuan's face was indifferent, as if she was telling a bland story.

Seeing Ruan Yaxuan talking to the kidnappers with a calm face, Yang Junyu was in a somewhat complicated mood.

The kidnappers took the hostages, which was a very troublesome thing. And now the hostages have actually started to talk to the kidnappers, which seems to be more troublesome.
