Xiang Yong could hear from the footsteps that it was Li Xiumei herself who knocked on the door.

The sound of those high-top leather boots is recognizable.

He went over and opened the door and nodded, "Inspector Li." ”

Li Xiumei is dressed in casual clothes, a very masculine outfit. Her face looked a little tired and haggard, but her eyes lit up excitedly: "You're all here, it's good." ”

After entering, she closed the door with her backhand: "I have found the stronghold of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Gate." As soon as it gets dark, we'll raid their stronghold and see if we can capture one or two alive. ”

Xiang Yong was a little puzzled: "We, only us, aren't you going to call for support from the bureau?"

Li Xiumei shook her head, showing a hint of embarrassment: "I'm not worried about the people in the bureau now." ”

After a pause, she said, "I just learned that there is one thing that has been spread at the top level. ”

She took a deep breath and deliberately sold a pass, Li Zhiping frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The white jade tiger jade that was taken away by the Hundred Ghosts Night Gate was regarded by the high-level as a treasure that could prolong life and immortalize the soul. I heard that His Majesty has sent a message to recapture this treasure at all costs. Today, the director gave me a death order, and I must get the jade back as soon as possible. ”

"In this case, I think someone in the bureau will sabotage my operation for some other purpose. ”

You're still sensitive to political struggles.

Xiang Yong gave her a thumbs up in his heart, "That's okay, it's enough for a few of us to raid a stronghold." Only, I have something to tell you as well. ”

He told Li Xiumei about his suspicions about Sheng Du and the news that he had infiltrated the rebel army and heard it, but he only concealed the part about Liu Cripple.

Li Xiumei's face became more and more ugly, and she gasped in disbelief: "Sheng Du is providing magic crystals for the rebel army?"

"The magic crystal is a super-controlled material, he can't get two boxes alone, he must have accomplices in the military hierarchy!"

"It's a big problem. ”

After pondering for a while, Li Xiumei said: "We can't tell anyone in the military about this matter, Sheng Du has been in the military for many years, and anyone can be his accomplice." There are also many retired military officials at the top of the police headquarters. I could only tell the director, and with his authorization, I would secretly conduct an investigation, gather more evidence, and arrest Sheng Du and his accomplices. ”

"Why did Sheng Du involve the rebel army? The top leaders of the rebel army were all from the rivers and lakes, and he had a holiday with the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

Xiang Yong couldn't answer her question. Perhaps, for Xiaoxiong, the important thing is not who he has a good relationship with or who he has a bad relationship with, but who he needs to work with to complete what he wants to achieve.

What does Shengdu want to achieve?

Li Xiumei suddenly spoke: "You said that you and Wan Daozhong hit it off at first sight?"

Xiang Yong nodded.

Li Xiumei's eyes lit up: "Are you willing to continue to help me? Take me into the upper echelons of the Ibaraki rebel army!"

Xiang Yong didn't speak for a long time, shocked by the audacity of the policewoman.

It's like a little lamb about to wash itself and send it to the wolf's mouth.

The more Li Xiumei thought about it, the more feasible she felt, paced around the room, stood still, and said, "That's it, Xiao Chengsheng, you help me this time! I won't treat you badly." ”

Xiang Yong smiled and said, "Okay." ”

It's not because it's pleasing to the eye.

Instead, the voice of the main god sounded just now: "The third stage of the mission is completed, and you have chosen to tell Li Xiumei the secret." Each person is rewarded with 10 points, and the fourth stage of the mission begins: go deep into the enemy camp. Join the rebel army, gain the trust of the rebel army's higher-ups, find out more information about Sheng Du, and figure out Sheng Du's intentions. Each person who completes the task will be rewarded with 100 points, and the next stage of the task will be opened. There is no penalty for failing a mission. ”

The task description at this stage is a bit vague, and figuring out Sheng Du's intentions is not an easy task. These 100 points are not easy to get.

Now each of them already has 50 points on hand to complete the first stage of the main quest and 70 points to complete the first three stages of the side quest, a total of 120 points, which is enough to offset the 80 points that need to be deducted for failing the second stage of the main quest.

In this mission world, they are no longer in danger of being obliterated.

Fan Xiaoyue was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to try your best and see how much benefit you can get in this world.

Xiang Yong and Li Xiumei quickly discussed, and the group set off in full gear and headed for the stronghold of the Hundred Ghosts Night Gate.

According to the informant's report, there are two people living together in that house, the two brothers in the name, and neither of them has yet to start a family.

The surrounding residents did not report anything unusual or strange about the family, and it seemed that they were ordinary ordinary brothers, the elder brother worked as a clerk in a grocery store, and the younger brother was a carpenter.

As for the strength of the two, the informant is not clear.

But I think it should only be an acquired realm.

The martial arts of this world, the acquired realm corresponds to the opening of the pulse, the innate realm corresponds to the foundation building, the grandmaster realm corresponds to the warmth, and then there is the legend. The Divine Power Realm and the Jindan Realm have long since disappeared and have become legends.

Due to the empire's control of the magic crystal, it is impossible for most people to use the magic crystal to cultivate, which causes the force value of this world to be lower than Xiang Yong's prediction.

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes are in the acquired realm, and those in the innate realm are already rare, and most of them belong to the high-level of various sects and forces. As for the Grandmaster realm, there are probably only about a dozen in the entire Dashun Empire, either they are the heads of the Great Gate Sect, such as the heads of the Zhengyang Gate and the Hundred Ghosts Night Sect, or they are hidden, such as the cheap master of Xiang Yong and others, Venerable Beihe.

A disciple of a stronghold in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Gate, Li Xiumei felt that it was impossible to be an innate master.

Li Xiumei decided to wait until it was dark, when the brothers had returned home, and then launch a surprise attack to subdue the two at once.

Li Xiumei waited for darkness in Xiang Yong's room, during which she exchanged a lot of information about the rebel army with Xiang Yong and popularized some common sense to Xiang Yong. In her opinion, Xiang Yong and the others have been following Venerable Beihe in seclusion, and it is normal that they do not understand common sense, and they are not suspicious.

Xiang Yong specifically asked why the empire had not yet purged the rebels.

Li Xiumei's reply was that for the safety of the imperial capital, the imperial capital garrison and the Praetorian Guard would not be dispatched for the time being.

Since the rebel army was now only holding on and did not expand the fighting, the 19th Army, which was closest to the south, would not move north for the time being, and would only use the garrisons around Ibaraki and Pham Castle to deal with the situation.

The upper echelons of the empire should not have decided which force to send to suppress the uprising.

The rebel armies of Van Castle and Ibaraki together numbered more than 200,000 men, and most of them were old and weak women and children who had been coerced, and there should have been only 6 or 70,000 young and strong men.

However, if there are too few troops, it may become a tactic to add fuel to the army, but it will allow the rebel army to develop; if there are too many troops, it is obviously a waste of killing chickens with knives.

The current financial situation of the empire is not optimistic, and if it can reduce military spending, it will certainly be what everyone except the war maniac in the military department is willing to see.

Therefore, the Imperial Court is currently sending commissioners to negotiate with the Ibaraki and Van Castle rebels in an effort to resolve the matter peacefully.

But Xiang Yong has a hunch that this matter may not be resolved peacefully.
