Looking at the kind smiling faces of the emperor and his wife, there was no clue that someone was trying to steal Qingluan's highest order in the Tai Chi Palace.

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

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

This password, called the Supreme Order, is the key to controlling national-level intelligent programs.

With this password, you can have unlimited permissions in Qingluan.

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

Therefore, the highest order is also the top secret of a country.

Yang Junyu and Anman walked side by side in the crowd, observing the surroundings and listening to Wei Jie's explanation.

After listening, I felt something was wrong, so I asked: "Sister, I have a question. That is to say, no one should know where the highest order is placed, right? Let alone Hayes, a city magistrate, instead of Let him steal this, why not let him assassinate His Majesty? I feel that the success rate is a little higher."

Although this is a bit rebellious, it really is the truth.

After all, the emperor and queen were standing on the city wall, and Hayes only had to reach out and push. It was much easier than stealing the password.

"First of all, it's not that easy to assassinate the emperor. Not everyone is as powerful as you. Secondly, even if they succeed, what will happen? Next, they will suffer crazy revenge. As long as they don't want to start a war, they won't Do this kind of thing!" Wei Jie replied.

This is true... Yang Junyu nodded slightly, but he thought of this matter too simply.

Anman beside him also explained: "Actually, every emperor will decide the successor on the day he ascends the throne. But only Qingluan and Zongzhengsi know. The emperor can change it at any time during his reign. But once the emperor has an accident, Qingluan and Zongzheng The temple will announce the heir."

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

The prince had made his decision early, but only the emperor and a few special ministers knew about it. And the emperor could change his mind at any time during his reign.

Until the moment the edict is announced, no one knows who will sit on the dragon throne.

This kind of system is quite beneficial, as it avoids internal fighting over the heir to the greatest extent.

As the old saying goes, no one can refuse the merit of support!

The various factions fighting in the court to the death are of no benefit to the country at all.

The most typical example is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone knows that Emperor Taizong ascended the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that at his point, he couldn't even think about going against it.

After all, he has made great achievements in battle and has many talents under his command. If Li Jiancheng becomes emperor in the end, let's not talk about what will happen to Emperor Taizong himself. None of the civil servants and generals under him would allow such a result to occur.

Therefore, even if Emperor Taizong himself does not want to rebel, the talented people under his command will force him to rebel.

After all, why are you messing around with you? If you don't fight back, then what will our efforts over the years mean?

Now the system of Datang has fundamentally solved this problem of factional struggle.

The first is that all members of the royal family join the army and have military status throughout their lives.

The most important thing is that he has had two names since birth and can hide his identity. This avoids premature contact with civil servants to the greatest extent.

The second is the secret reserve system. Zongzhengsi and Qingluan supervise each other and cooperate with each other.

Cabinet ministers may not even know how many children the emperor has, how old they are, and whether they are boys or girls.

Naturally, this kind of factional struggle is 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 Owl, pay attention to the man holding a can of beer at ten o'clock. Mandrill, go and provide support."

"learn!"

After agreeing, Yang Junyu slowly walked forward 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 a few sips, his attention was obviously not on the wine.

He was not watching the show, but looking around from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

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

"From the information, there are some problems with this person's account. Let's control it first. Don't expose it."

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

"Hello!"

Seeing Yang Junyu's sudden greeting, the man opposite was obviously a little surprised. Before he could react, he had already punched him in the stomach.

Humans have scattered nerve plexuses in their abdomens, which can also cause coma after being hit hard.

Before the other party could react, he felt his eyes go dark and his body was about to fall down.

Yang Junyu supported him and caught the half-can of beer in his hand: "Oh, this is how much I drank."

At this time, Qu Jianbin had already walked over: "Sorry, this is my friend, he drank too much..."

As he spoke, he picked him up and said, "I'll take him to the side to rest. Thank you very much, brother."

"You're welcome."

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

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

Anman took two steps forward, stretched out his left hand and hugged the shoulder of the man in front of him.

Just as the other party was about to speak, he felt something cold pressed against his neck.

At this time, a slender blade had popped out from the middle finger of Anman's left hand, touching his skin.

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

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

The man stumbled and took a few steps forward, before being pulled into the darkness by several people wearing black special operations uniforms.

Next, Wei Jie started to call names one by one, and the secret guard members 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. There are now close to 100,000 people on Zhuque Street, and there is no time to pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.

"How many are there?" Yang Junyu asked.

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

"Can't we let Qingluan do the reverse tracking?"

"The time of each conversation is too short, so there is no way to find it all at once, but the range has been narrowed. The four of you, night owl, moon rabbit, mandrill, and white-faced monkey, move to the Geng-6 area." Wei Jie gave the order.

"clear!"

At this time, Mei Jianshi asked: "What about the others?"

"I'm looking for him. Let's control the one who gave the order first." Wei Jie replied.

"I am a white-faced monkey. I have found a suspicious person. I have marked him and I am observing him."

White-faced Monkey is the codename of Mei Jianshi, who is also the closest to Geng Sixth District.

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

Then quickly take a screenshot for facial comparison and review the information.

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

At this time, the other three people also arrived in the Geng Sixth District and observed among the crowd.

This place is relatively far from Tai Chi Palace, and there aren't too many people there. It's basically in the second half of Zhuque Street.

Fortunately, there are not many people, so it is not that crowded. Although the number is small, it is definitely a lot, at least it is not like the crowded situation in front.

There was still a long queue at the food stall next to it, and people were taking photos of the dancing actors on the flying boat near the middle.

Several anchors were either exploring delicious stalls, commenting on the dancers on the deck, and some were chatting with the viewers in the live broadcast room.

A parade of this scale can only be found in Chang'an, while other cities celebrate Shangyuan in different ways.

For example, Luoyang also has this kind of boat, but it is not on the main street, but along the Luoshui River.

There are also activities of setting off river lanterns on the riverside, and on the Chang'an side, the Kongming lanterns are put on at twelve o'clock.

Other cities also celebrate the Lantern Festival according to different customs, but it is definitely not as large as Chang'an.

Passing through the various crowds, Yang Junyu glanced and suddenly saw the back of a man.

This person seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but to Yang Junyu, he looked extremely strange.

Not because the man was wearing a traditional toga with long sleeves, or because he was unmoved by the stalls around him.

Judging from his walking posture, it was obvious that this person had never practiced martial arts, but every time he landed, he was as solid and powerful as a master.

It feels like a stupid boy who knows nothing has been force-fed into him decades of skills. He only has the cultivation level of a master, but does not have the habits, experience, mentality and vision of a master.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, Anman next to him asked and followed his line of sight.

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

"If it's suspicious, take a closer look! Mark it." Wei Jie's voice sounded in the earphones.

Yang Junyu agreed and marked that person out.

Wei Jie immediately mobilized a drone to take pictures and began facial comparison.

Three minutes later, she ordered again: "There is indeed something wrong with this guy! Catch him! Be careful not to alarm the people around him."

"yes!"

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

This man was walking on the street, thinking that it was almost time and it was time to ask other people about their situation.

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

Neither Yang Junyu nor Anman looked at him.

However, when he glanced at Qu Jianbin, he subconsciously took a second look at the other person's strong figure.

With just one 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. However, after meeting their gazes, Qu Jianbin subconsciously shifted his gaze.

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

However, just this turn made Qu Jianbin yell: "Stop!"

When he heard the roar, he turned around and ran away.

Yang Junyu next to him was somewhat helpless. He didn't use any force on his legs when he turned around. It was obviously just a simple turn.

With such a roar, he was exposed first.

But there is nothing we can do in this situation. We can only speed up and rush over to control it immediately.

However, the distance between the two parties was not close. When he saw other people rushing towards him, the other party looked around and rushed directly towards the people lining up at the stall in front of him.

"No! He wants to take hostages!"

Yang Junyu sped up and ran towards the opponent, but it was already too late.

The man stretched out his left hand and pulled a cheongsam woman in front of the stall over, blocking her in front of him.

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

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

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

When the people around heard the roar, they turned around and looked over. Fortunately, the street was already noisy, so they noticed that there weren't too many people here.

Yang Junyu stopped, looked at the other party, and raised his eyebrows helplessly.

The man's left hand was holding the hostage's neck in front of him, and his right hand was holding a dagger and waving it at Qu Jianbin and the others in front of him. He seemed to be very excited, "Did you hear that? Don't come here!"

"Click... click..."

While he was yelling, the rhythmic sound of chewing could be heard in his ears.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, it turned out that the hostage he had captured was holding a fried and fragrant grilled squid and gnawing on it.

Ruan Yaxuan also didn't expect that even if he went shopping without guests during the Lantern Festival, he would be taken hostage.

However, this did not affect her mood for shopping. She still ate the grilled squid and watched the excitement, as if she was not the one who was caught.

Seeing the kidnapper looking at him, Ruan Yaxuan raised his head: "What do you want me to do?"

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

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

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

As she spoke, she pointed at Yang Junyu: "Look at this head."

Then he pointed at Qu Jianbin: "Look at this guy again! Which one is your opponent? Let alone the two of them together!"

"you shut up!"

"Don't make any mistake, they are your threat, not me! It's better to say that I am the only one who can help you now." Ruan Yaxuan looked indifferent, as if he was telling a plain story.

Seeing Ruan Yaxuan talking to the kidnapper calmly, Yang Junyu felt a little complicated.

The kidnappers have taken hostages, which is a very troublesome thing. But now the hostages have started talking to the kidnappers, which seems to be even more troublesome.
