Just after breakfast, Guo Yong came to the door.
In last night's case, at least a thousand households were involved. They were a group of hundreds of households who only helped deliver the news.
Therefore, he did not show any signs of fatigue at the end of the night.
Of course, this also has something to do with his recent mental state.
Ever since he was promoted to Hundred Households, he has been in good spirits.
He also looks much younger.
"Master Liu, Master Tongzhi has summoned you to a meeting!"
Guo Yong stood at the door and said to Liu Xin with a smile on his face.
Liu Xin nodded, got on Chitu, and rode towards Nanzhen Fusi.
During last night's mission, his motivation was not very high, but now that he was going to save Xiao Qi, his motivation was completely boosted.
When he arrived at Nanzhen Fusi, none of the other thousand households had arrived yet.
Everyone worked hard all night last night, and there was a meeting to be held early this morning, but because Dai De'an didn't say that the matter was urgent, everyone went at a normal speed.
Only Liu Xin guessed what was going to be said at this meeting, so he rode over.
Arriving at Nanzhen Fusi, Dai De'an was having breakfast.
"Liu Xin, why did you arrive so quickly?
Have you had breakfast? Would you like some? "
Dai De'an looked at Liu Xin in surprise.
Liu Xin shook his head and said he was not hungry, but he still sat down in response to Dai De'an's invitation.
"Sir, why are you summoning us?"
Looking at Liu Xin's anxious face, Dai De'an didn't understand why he was so anxious.
But he still smiled and said:
"I originally thought that the matter of leaving the city would be discussed in court this morning.
Unexpectedly, I received news from the Admiral this morning just as I was preparing to go to court.
A group of big bosses in the military couldn't wait for the morning meeting.
At dawn, I handed the note through the palace gate and went in.
Immediately, His Majesty responded very quickly and approved everyone's suggestions. "
Upon hearing the news, Liu Xin's face suddenly lit up with joy.
Then I heard Dai De'an continue.
"The Admiral ordered us, Jin Yiwei, to organize a team to go out of the city to investigate who was behind the instigation of those people.
At present, most of the 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the imperial capital are agitated refugee civilians.
Our mission is to find the conspirators behind it and then have the military carry out the beheading.
Most of these people are just ordinary people. The admiral meant not to kill too much.
It is easy to influence people's hearts.
And this time I want to send mainly some elites headed by you.
Of course, the specific manpower will be discussed at a later meeting. You can choose the elites from each thousand households! "
"I actually have an idea now. Besides me, I also want to find another deputy commander."
"Oh, who do you want to be the deputy commander?"
Dai De'an looked at Liu Xindao with a smile. He thought Liu Xin was going to add one of his own to the team.
It's obviously about promoting someone.
He wanted to see who Liu Xin was going to promote.
But to his surprise, the next moment, Liu Xin actually said a name that surprised him.
"I hope Banzong Banqianhu can become the deputy commander of this team."
"Um?"
Dai De'an was obviously stunned.
This mission out of the city is actually an opportunity to gain credit.
And there are no hidden dangers, even if the task is not completed, it doesn't matter.
On the contrary, it is a great achievement if it is completed.
Originally, this time, if Liu Xin had not proposed it in advance, he was going to let Ban Zong take action.
Before Liu Xin appeared, his confidant was Ban Zong.
Ban Zong is calm and reliable, can be reused, and the most important thing is loyalty.
As a Jinyiwei, in fact, life is often not very good after getting old and frail.
Especially the superiors of Jinyiwei.
Because Jinyiwei usually monitors hundreds of officials, he offends many people.
And there have always been factions inside.
Therefore, once you step down from a high position, you will inevitably encounter the treatment of a drowned dog.
If you are easy to bully, others may come and beat you up.
Therefore, what Dai De'an wants is to find a successor who is both capable and loyal, so that he will not be unable to enjoy his old age in peace.
After Liu Xin appeared, he once thought that the position of commander of the Jin Yiwei would fall on Liu Xin in the future.
But when he learned that Liu Xin was favored by Qin Guogong, he still wanted to continue to train Ban Zong.
Because he knew that Liu Xin's future destination would definitely not be just the commander of the Jin Yiwei.
For this reason, he declined the admiral's suggestion to appoint him as the commander.
In fact, he was already prepared for Liu Xin to take over at any time.
The position is empty and he can retreat at any time.
But if he moves his butt to the top, it will be difficult to retreat in the future.
Now that Liu Xin proposed to let Ban Zong serve as deputy commander, it was equivalent to giving part of the credit to the other party.
Dai De'an seemed to have seen through Liu Xin's thoughts.
So after everyone arrived, Dai De'an simply announced the Admiral's order.
Of all the thousands of households present, there was no one who was not interested in this mission.
However, when the final command position fell on Liu Xin's head, others did not dare to say anything.
And when Liu Xin proposed that Ban Zong be the deputy commander of this operation, the other Qianhu households immediately cast envious glances at the latter.
At the same time, their eyes were also vaguely rotating between Liu Xin and Dai De'an.
The list of remaining personnel is easy to negotiate. Each Qianhu Station has its own elite, because this mission is not actually dangerous.
The rebels outside the city are actually a ragtag group of people, mostly made up of refugees.
And this time the main task of the Jin Yiwei is not to kill the enemy, but to find out who is instigating these people.
The most important thing is that they can retreat if they encounter danger.
And it is a retreat without any hidden dangers.
Unlike other missions, retreating is equivalent to deserting.
There will definitely be corresponding punishments after coming back, and in serious cases, they may even be sentenced to death.
But this time is different. Not only will there not be much danger this time, but you will not be punished even if you fail to complete the task and come back.
After all, Jin Yiwei took the initiative to fight this time and was not assigned by His Majesty.
And there is a reward for finding out, and there is no harm in doing the opposite.
The Admiral said this bluntly, which was enough to reassure everyone.
As a result, almost every thousand-household office had four or five elites.
Of course they still want the credit.
Therefore, he sent only his confidants and strictly ordered them to obey Liu Xin's orders.
In the end, Liu Xin was the leader, Ban Zong was the assistant, and a total of more than 40 Jinyiwei people left the imperial capital city ahead of the army.
They were all wearing regular clothes, not the flying fish uniforms of Jinyiwei.
As for why they are one step ahead of the military, it is because the military still needs to reorganize the army.
At the same time, they also have to wait for information from Jin Yiwei.
If Jinyiwei can find some valuable clues, then there is no need for the military to kill all 100,000 rebels.
In fact, there are already 100,000 rebels outside the imperial capital.
In several days of fighting, the rebels lost at least 30% of their troops.
There is only a little chaos outside the city now, but it is actually not very dangerous.
Some major towns and fortresses are still in the hands of the imperial court.
The first thing the rebels did after entering the village was not to massacre the people, but to dig into the ground.
Because when people in some villages and towns evacuated, they were not in a hurry and took most of their food and utensils with them.
As a result, after the rebels entered the village, they basically couldn't find much food.
This also led them to dig three feet into the ground in each village, because many people had the habit of hiding food.
Of course, this move really allowed them to find a lot of food.
However, this also greatly slowed down the speed of their actions.
And the people who encouraged them behind the scenes can't influence them at all now.
Only when they are full, exhausted, and hungry again can their methods continue to be useful.
At the same time that Liu Xin led the Jin Yiwei people to leave the Imperial City from Guangqumen in the east, the Black Lotus Baigui of the White Lotus Sect took a young man and left the Imperial City safely from the underground canal of Longan Temple in Guangqumen.
Of course they could wait until late at night and force their way out.
But they had gotten the message. The military was already gathering troops and horses. If they waited until late at night, there would already be troops and horses from the imperial court outside the city.
If something goes wrong, they will be in danger.
And because the imperial court has decided to send troops to suppress the 100,000 rebels outside.
They must bring this news out as soon as possible.
So he had no choice but to walk into the ditch.
"His Holiness, you can actually climb out of the ditch by yourself, why do you have to take me with you?"
In a waterway outside the Imperial City, a middle-aged bald man first appeared from the bottom of the water. Waves of air erupted from his body from the inside out, and all the water vapor on his body was immediately evaporated.
He is naturally the protector of the White Lotus Sect, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
Behind him, another young man emerged from the bottom of the water. He also used his internal strength to evaporate the water vapor on his body, muttering with dissatisfaction.
"Wang Laohu, you think I want to take you with me!
If you were here in the imperial capital, wouldn't you eat me alive?
It is enough for one disciple to fold here, but if all the disciples fold here..."
Black Lotus Baigui seemed to have thought of some horrific scene, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
“I don’t want to be beaten by your crazy master.
So I have to make you feel aggrieved. "
Black Lotus Baigui was walking in front, but the young Wang Laohu behind him looked at the former's back with a vicious look.
"Don't look at me like that. If you look too much, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
Black Lotus Baigui didn't turn around at all, but as if he saw Wang Laohu's eyes, he threatened him with words.
Wang Laohu curled his lips, but the viciousness in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Black Lotus Baigui shook his head and said in his heart:
Such a good seedling turned out to be the apprentice of that madman.
If this kid is my disciple, our Hundred Ghost Sect will definitely be able to rise.
“It’s time for Yinlian’s six people to come out of the mountain!
Two of the four missionaries have died. The White Lotus Sect cannot let other demonic sects take it lightly! "
Black Lotus Baigui said suddenly from the front.
"Wang Laohu, you are the leader of the six people. Have you thought about what you should do first when you leave the mountain?
If you don't do it well, you won't be able to convince the public. "
"My thoughts,
I have already called the other five of the six people to stand by near the Imperial Capital.
The subsequent assassination of Emperor Xuyang...
Otherwise, let us be responsible! "
Upon hearing this, the progress of Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts suddenly stopped. He turned and looked at Wang Laohu, who was holding a straw that he found from nowhere.
Wang Laohu's eyes were frivolous, and he looked directly at Black Lotus Baigui.
"How did you know about this?
Did your master tell you that?
Impossible, he doesn’t know either!
Did the leader reveal it to you? "
Looking at the ugly Black Lotus Baigui, Wang Laohu smiled.
"His Holiness, please stop making blind guesses. I came up with all this myself."
Black Lotus Baigui obviously didn't believe Wang Laohu's words, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"It's not the Dharma King. What's your look like?"
"You don't seem to be that smart."
Black Lotus Hundred Ghost actually said so directly.
Wang Laohu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Sure enough, my master is the only one in this world who understands me! As smart as I am, I am so despised by you."
"Okay, don't make me poor here. If you don't explain the matter clearly..."
Wang Laohu saw that black internal energy had even condensed into the palm of Black Lotus Baigui's hand.
"No, Dharma King, don't get excited.
I really figured it out on my own.
Your actions are too big, and the main forces of the White Lotus Sect from all over the country have been called here.
How many people did it take to steal the treasure from the palace?
Where are the rest?
How could they gather so much power just to stir up trouble and stir up trouble? Now the fight is lively, but can they really damage the foundation of Zhengyang Kingdom?
I don’t think it’s possible. "
The expression of Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts gradually softened, and the power gathered in the palm of his hand also dissipated.
The other party's analysis was so reasonable that he couldn't help but want to continue listening.
This kid has a promising future, and he might be able to grow to his level.
Wang Laohu felt relieved when he saw the power in Black Lotus Baigui's hand dissipate.
"The most important thing is that I heard what you said to those court dog officials the day before yesterday!"
"What!"
The next moment, the black inner power was re-condensed in the palm of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, and this time the power was even stronger than before!
"How dare you kid eavesdrop!"
Wang Laohu dodged, and a black claw mark suddenly appeared where he originally stood, but the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts obviously did not make any move.
"Old ghost! You really want to kill me!"
Wang Laohu screamed, then moved his body and disappeared instantly.
He obviously has top-notch skills.
The moment he disappeared, a black claw mark appeared immediately.
"Jiejie, don't blame me, kid!
The leader has ordered that anyone who wants to sabotage this operation will be killed without mercy! "
"Damn it, I didn't mean to sabotage the operation, and you're going to kill me!"
King Tiger appeared somewhere again, and then an iron bridge, and at the same time his body twisted in a weird posture.
With such movements, he narrowly avoided the attacks of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
"As long as you die, no one will know whether you wanted to sabotage the operation!
Jie Jie! "
With a strange laugh, the body of Black Lotus Baigui seemed to have turned into an illusion, with black mist surrounding the body. He was really ready to kill the opponent!
"Old ghost! Stop it! Aren't you afraid of being beaten by my master?"
Wang Laohu saw that the opponent was attacking faster and faster, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing out from his head.
"..."
Black Lotus Baigui's movements suddenly stagnated.
The next moment, he was like a ghost floating behind, and the black mist outside his body surged even more fiercely.
"Damn it, after being injured by that old guy, I can't control my sanity!"
Before leaving the imperial capital, Liu Xin went to the archives of Nanzhen Fusi and spent half an hour finally taking away some things.
And this time is also a gap for other people to gather.
And when he and everyone left Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, Dai De'an took a deep look at his back.
His brows furrowed deeply, the things Liu Xin took away just now... seemed a little bit not good.
But then he informed Mi Yusong of the matter.
The result is... everything is up to him.
Half an hour after leaving the imperial capital,
Liu Xin came to the official road where he found the password left by Xiao Qi.
The code was still there, and he immediately analyzed the message left by Xiao Qi from the code.
That day was too hasty and he had no reason to stop, so he didn't have time to decipher the code.
And today he finally had time.
The code left by Xiao Qi was very complicated. It took even Liu Xin a full cup of tea to decipher the code left by Xiao Qi.
After getting the message left by Xiao Qi, Liu Xin finally felt a huge stone in his heart.
In the message, Xiao Qi said that he was still very safe.
But if the situation outside the imperial capital changes, then they will not be able to stay out of it.
Xiao Qi asked Liu Xin to help him save these people under his command.
Liu Xin almost didn't think about it, and he already started planning how to help Xiao Qi and his men leave this whirlpool safely.
And there is another important clue in Xiaoqi's message.
It happens to be related to their actions this time.
Before leaving the Imperial Capital, Liu Xin had already discussed with Senior Brother Cheng how to rescue Xiao Qi and resolve his current situation.
Even Senior Brother Cheng thought the method Liu Xin chose was a bit outrageous.
But in the end Liu Xin insisted on using his method.
Senior Brother Cheng could only agree reluctantly and provided him with the greatest help.
Everyone in Jinyiwei saw Liu Xin stopping somewhere for a long time, but no one urged him.
Ban Zong looked into the distance calmly, with no trace of anxiety on his face.
Over a cup of tea, Liu Xin took out a list from the bag on Red Rabbit's horse.
He gave the list to Ban Zong.
"Ban Qianhu, I already have some ideas for this action.
You take a look at these lists first. "
Ban Zong's face changed slightly as soon as he opened it after taking it. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xin, with disbelief in his eyes.
"Master Liu, you don't want to..."
"Ban Qianhu, what do you think is the difficulty of our mission?"
Liu Xin didn't answer the question, he knew what Ban Zong wanted to say.
"Um……"
"It should be about how to target those White Lotus Sect rebels who are instigating the common people."
Ban Zong thought for a moment and gave a thoughtful answer.
