Chapter 135: Planning
After Lin Chunxi solved the stalker, he quickly walked through a number of alleys and came to the meeting place booked with the Eighth Prince, this is the largest restaurant in the capital, all the dignitaries and dignitaries often gather again, the price of vegetables here is the most expensive in the capital, a plate of the most ordinary vegetables are sold for more than ten taels of silver, this price is enough for ordinary people to live for more than a year, but despite this, every day is still full of people, even with a few nearby streets are also full of traffic, a rich and luxurious scene, the extravagant scene in the capital can be seen at a glance here, no matter day or night is always brightly lit, Here the money is not used to spend, it is used to burn, ordinary people do not even have the qualifications to go in and take a look, the eighth prince is naturally a frequent visitor here, he used to be a bold friend all over the world, who in the capital does not know the pride of this rich prince, in the early years the eighth prince was seriously injured in order to save the current emperor, at that time coincided with the new emperor ascended the throne, the foundation is still unstable, he put forward many measures to reform, but was strongly resisted by the stubborn forces among the royal family and nobles of Wu, Zuizhou finally launched a small-scale rebellion, in a sacrificial event to send people to assassinate the emperor, but it coincided with the presence of the eighth prince, saved the emperor from the chaos with the strength of one person, but the eighth prince was seriously injured in the battle and received three arrows in the chest, so that every time it is windy and rainy now, the eighth prince Li Xiaoyao still can't stop coughing.
After that incident, the emperor washed the capital in blood, all the nobles who participated in the rebellion were killed, and since then no one in the Wu country dared to raise any objections to the reform, and the Wu country has gradually become strong since that time, and the emperor is grateful for the merits of the eighth prince and gave him countless rewards, but the eighth prince has since insisted on no longer engaging in politics, and is only dedicated to being a rich and noble prince.
The emperor was grateful for the kindness of the eighth prince, and since then he has continued to reward the eighth prince Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao has naturally become the most dazzling royal family in the capital.
At this time, the eighth prince was feasting on the restaurant to the major wealthy businessmen in the capital, in fact, it was the prince's banquet, these rich businessmen were eager to make friends with Li Xiaoyao, naturally they were all happy, this toast, that flattery, a noisy scene.
After a short time, a personal maid walked to the side of the prince, whispered a few words in his ear, Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly, as if he didn't care, and a few rich businessmen and friends exchanged a few glasses of wine, after a while, Li Xiaoyao went to the convenience, beckoned a few people to continue eating and drinking, he walked out of the private room slightly drunk with the support of the maid.
After entering the secret passage of the restaurant, Li Xiaoyao's eyes were bright and refreshing, where was the drunken state just now, followed by several personal servants, he came to the dark pavilion, Lin Chunxi had been waiting for a long time again, Li Xiaoyao withdrew his subordinates, and Lin Chunxi began to talk in detail alone in the house.
After Li Xiaoyao's narration, Lin Chunxi knew the details of the matter, it turned out that since Li Xiaoyao's secret contact location was attacked by blood bats that night, he had already begun to send people to investigate the origin and whereabouts of these people, according to the understanding of these people, they usually choose to stay in the most prosperous place, so that they can hide people's eyes, Li Xiaoyao has been operating in the capital for many years, and there are many subordinates, so it was quickly found that a group of unknown people have come to the capital, and they have lived in several larger inns in batches, among which Li Xiaoyao's people also found that there is an inn with two guests who have not returned for a long time, The shopkeeper has reported to the official, because some of the belongings of the two guests are still stored in the store, so the yamen has also arranged for people to check, but the flow of people in the capital is huge, and the identity background of the people who come and go is complicated, and it is common for someone to disappear, anyway, these people have already paid for the store in advance, and the store has no loss, so these things will not be over, and it may not be long before they will forget.
But Li Xiaoyao knew that these two mysterious guests who had no trace were actually the two blood bats that were killed, since a group of people had been found, there was a way to continue to find out the traces of other people, and finally with the efforts of the people sent by Li Xiaoyao to investigate, all the other blood bat traces were finally found, and someone had been arranged to track them separately.
Li Xiaoyao felt that these people were an absolute scourge, and they had already provoked themselves, no matter who hired them or what the purpose was, they must be eradicated as soon as possible.
Therefore, Li Xiaoyao secretly mobilized good hands and gathered all his many masters in and around the capital to the capital, because he knew that these blood bats were highly skilled, not to mention that they were collectively dispatched, and more than a dozen blood bats came at one time, this kind of operation has been very rare in recent years, it seems that the other party's plan is not small, there is such a group of dangerous enemies lurking in the capital, it is not a good thing anyway, and it needs to be solved as soon as possible, so after stabilizing these people a little, Li Xiaoyao is ready to plan an encirclement and suppression operation against these blood bats。
Because the mobilization of manpower was relatively hasty, although they were all masters, but due to the limited preparation time, Li Xiaoyao always felt that it was not safe enough, so he was ready to arrange for Lin Chunxi and others to also participate in the action, but he was reluctant to let his juniors and disciples directly take the risk against the blood bat, because he knew that they had other tasks on this trip, and Li Huachen would not agree to send them directly to do such a dangerous thing, so after he told Lin Chunxi the reason, he repeatedly told them that they must only be on guard on the periphery and outflank the fish that slipped through the net, and they could not easily participate in the frontal attack。
Although Lin Chunxi was very willing to help his senior brother do more, he also knew that he still had a task to do, and his senior brother insisted repeatedly, so he didn't argue anymore, Lin Chunxi wrote down the ambush location and action plan that Li Xiaoyao told him, said goodbye to Li Xiaoyao, and then got up and walked out of the restaurant from the secret road, ready to meet the inn to prepare.
After Li Xiaoyao saw off Lin Chunxi, accompanied by the maid, he returned to the private room just now, and as soon as he pushed the door open, Li Xiaoyao deliberately stumbled, and the maid next to him hurriedly supported him, Li Xiaoyao said to everyone with a little drunkenness,
"I'm sorry, let everyone wait, it's too much to drink, come on, let's continue", and then beckoned everyone to continue to push the cup and change the lamp.
The wealthy businessmen also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and continued to drink, as if nothing had happened just now.
