Li Jiangyao was sighing secretly in his heart when he heard Qian Honglie continue to report: "Last night, twenty brothers from our third department, disguised as cooks from the Xuanjia Army, pushed thirteen food carts into the palace to take charge of the night. The guards on night duty are given extra meals. Inside the compartment of each vehicle are hidden sharp firearms manufactured by Jiangnan Perak Hall."
"After arriving at the place, several of them sneaked into the main hall of Ziwei Palace while the other party was not prepared. Because Di Xian had moved all the servants during the day, there was no one in the hall at that time, which made it very convenient for movement. Brothers first put their clothes on their bodies The kerosene they carried was poured everywhere, and then the explosives were ignited, setting the hall on fire. At the same time, the friends who were guarding the car outside saw the fire in the hall, and immediately detonated the explosives in the car and queued up nearby to collect the fire. The Xuanjia Army that was eating the meal inflicted heavy casualties in order to prevent the enemy from putting out the fire."
"In the entire operation, only three spy agents responsible for the lookout managed to escape," Qiao Shengchun added: "Judging from their reports and final results, last night's operation achieved the results we expected."
Li Jiangyao nodded when he heard this and said: "This thundering momentum is enough to convince Di Xian and Xie Bao that we are going to kill the prince at all costs. You have accomplished your task very well! Finish singing the song in the palace , the next step is the big drama outside the palace. Xu Lingshi, how are you preparing?"
Xu Jinfeng, the commander of the Luoyi branch, caressed his long beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, our people have already been arranged. We are just waiting for your order."
Li Jiangyao nodded slightly, and then said to everyone: "The key to rescuing the prince tonight is to make the enemy focus on one thing and lose sight of the other. Only in this way can they be prompted to make wrong judgments and decisions under extremely stressful circumstances. The big drama outside the palace is scheduled to take a whole day of singing, and it will be exciting one after another, so the task is very heavy."
"Sir, I don't dare to brag about other things." Xu Jinfeng said with a smile: "When it comes to causing wanton destruction in the city, there is probably no one in the world who is better than us."
Zhou Xing also said with a smile: "Those of us, either from the army or from Liumen, can be said to be very familiar with the operation of the city. We have changed from the defenders of the city to destroyers, even if Xie Bao implements a comprehensive The city's martial law cannot stop Nilin Division's lethality."
Li Jiangyao absolutely recognized his statement.
People often say that some gangs or sects that have been rooted in a certain place for a long time often know the local situation very well. Once they get into trouble, they can easily cause huge damage.
But in fact, what these Jianghu gangs can master is only a very limited bottom world and some special industries or fields. After all, they still lack a lot in their understanding and grasp of the entire society.
In contrast, secret service agencies like the Nilin Division truly know everything.
From the functional division of labor among government officials to the living habits of ordinary people, from the shift arrangements of patrol officers to the right to the strength and weakness of Jianghu gangs, as well as the military's defense map, the layout of the village, the Ministry of Industry The drainage channel map under the jurisdiction and all the basic information of the city are obtained by Nilin Division with first-hand accurate information.
If these guys are deliberately trying to cause trouble, they will be like a cook trying to get rid of an ox.

In the Yaoguang Hall in the imperial city, Di Xian and Xie Bao were sitting across from each other at the table, arguing fiercely.
Di Xian looked anxious and said in a deep voice: "Brother Bao, the current situation is very urgent and there is no room for hesitation! I feel in my heart that the danger is approaching step by step! Therefore, only sealing off some areas in the city will definitely If it is not enough, all city gates should be closed immediately and full martial law should be implemented in Luoyi City!"
Hearing this, Xie Bao shook his big head like a rattle: "No, no! Before his adoptive father led his troops to Mianchi, he specifically told me that Luoyi has a special status and must give top priority to calming the people. Unless it is the imperial army. If there is an intrusion, we must not easily close the city gates and cause chaos. I just ordered the troops who patrolled the streets yesterday to temporarily return to the camp. I am afraid of really scaring the people and disobeying the military orders of my adoptive father. "
"Oh, my Brother Bao, General Bao, Handsome Bao!" Di Xian was so anxious that he almost knelt down to Xie Bao: "Everything must be adaptable. Just look at the posture of the Nilin Division of Beiya last night, it is very possible They have already mobilized all their elites and made a desperate move. Who knows, Shen Lie himself is in the city now! At the moment, neither of us can tell whether they have learned that the prince is not actually in Ziwei Palace, let alone what they will do next. Something more terrible could happen..."
"So? The city must be sealed off immediately?" Xie Bao curled his lips and said: "Xiao Di, after all, you are also a great general, why are you so uncontrollable? Don't you understand the principle of stopping with silence? The fire will scare you like this, and you will be laughed at if you tell me. Besides, the enemy didn't succeed last night."
Di Xian said depressedly: "It is precisely because they failed to succeed that I am even more worried. Brother Bao, you must listen to me this time, you are right!"
Xie Bao frowned and said hesitantly: "It's not that I don't believe you. Yesterday, thanks to your quick reaction, we were able to avoid a catastrophe in time. Speaking of which, I admire this very much, Mr. Bao. But now, You insist that I impose martial law on the entire eastern capital of Luoyi. If there are a lot of complaints and my adoptive father blames me, I won't be able to bear it."
"If anything goes wrong, it's mine, okay?" Di Xian said anxiously: "As long as I can keep Li Bing safe, if I cause any trouble, I will go to the Taifu to apologize."
Xie Bao stubbornly shook his head and said impatiently: "How can it be so light? My adoptive father is furious, can you bear it alone? Besides, even if you are willing to bear it, he may not forgive me."
Di Xian couldn't help but feel anxious and angry when he saw that the other party refused to heighten his precautions and put the whole city under martial law. He was about to give some rational and emotional persuasion when he suddenly heard someone outside the door saying, "Thank you." General, General Di. There is a girl outside holding a token from the Taifu Mansion asking to see you."
Di Xian was stunned for a moment, then realized: It was Lian Ji who had arrived.
He ordered outside: "Let her wait in the imperial dining room. I'll be there after a while."
Then, Di Xian turned around and continued to say to Xie Bao: "Mr. Lao has repeatedly warned my younger brother before that when encountering the Nilin Division, you must not treat it with common sense. They are a special army, their identities are hidden and they are pervasive. And because they specialize in dealing with the emperor's affairs, they are always ruthless, bold and unscrupulous in what they do. If those people are determined to get rid of the prince, they can't let it go so easily. It's as simple as burning down a Ziwei Palace. If we don't get the upper hand , strict control, it is tantamount to completely letting go of their hands and feet, allowing them to do whatever they want in Luoyi City. If they cause any greater trouble, won't they be punished by the Taifu? "
No matter how hard Di Xian tried his best, Xie Bao was still as stubborn as a stone. He also had his own concerns and did not want to make a fuss, because Li Bing caused trouble in the whole city, so much so that Xie Guang suspected whether he was incompetent.
Therefore, Xie Bao said stubbornly: "Hey, don't be nagging anymore. No matter how arrogant Beiya Nilinsi is, he is not a real army after all. If he wants to fight with open swords and guns, Master Bao, a heavy armored infantryman, Camp, you can deal with them easily. The Luoyi Imperial Palace is so big, as long as you hide the prince, can the assassin kill you? "

"I just want to turn him upside down!" Li Jiangyao slapped the table, pointed at the map on the table and said: "An hour later, just before Xuan Jiajun started having lunch, each subject and class will follow the established schedule. I started taking action in the order and disturbed the defenders of Luoyi City!"
Qiao Shengchun stared at the map: "Sir, the several scenes we discussed have been fully prepared in advance and have been performed several times. They should be foolproof. However, I am afraid that we are not sure enough about this place."
Li Jiangyao looked at the location he pointed at, nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. This target has not been completely determined before, and the situation inside has just been figured out by Zhou Xing and others. But please believe me, the key battle is here Here. So, I plan to take action personally and seize it in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Xing asked: "Master Li, do you want to send Chang Xiong and his flying cavalry into the city to cooperate? After all, they are more powerful."
"No, no, no." Li Jiangyao waved his hand: "Chang Dianjun and the others have other important tasks, so we can't be distracted at this time. The dozens of people Mr. Wang has arranged for me are enough."
Qian Honglie said worriedly: "My lord, I know that you are a highly skilled and bold person, and you are used to seeing wind and waves. However, after all, the targets are all regular troops, and they cannot be as simple as the action in Ziwei Palace last night. The purpose is to attack and destroy. If we really can’t win it successfully, or make too much noise, I’m afraid..."
Li Jiangyao secretly smiled in his heart. After all, these leaders of the Nilin Division had not seen his own methods with their own eyes like Shen Lie, so they did not have enough confidence in his abilities. However, this kind of thing would be more like bragging if explained too much, so he simply ignored it: "No need to say more, I will act cautiously. We still have alternative plans. If I miss, Qiao Zhang ordered I’ll make it up immediately!”
"I humbly obey my orders." Qiao Shengchun responded with cupped hands.
Li Jiangyao thought about the map for a moment, and went through the entire plan several times in his mind. Feeling that nothing was missing, he stood up and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order!"
"The humble post is here!" All Nilin Division officials stood up and stood in awe, shouting in unison.
"Qian Honglie from the third branch, the granary in the south of the city!"
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
"Zheng Xiaotong from Qike, Xuanjia Army Camp!"
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
"Xu Jinfeng of the Luoyi branch, the Taifu Mansion, the Governor's Office, the East Market, the West Market, Taiping Square, and the Guobin Inn!"
"I understand my humble position, accept the order!"
"Wang Hai, the chief helmsman of Qinglongtang and Luoyi Gang of Jinhe Gang!"
"As you command!"
"Second Division Zhou Xing, Xiangzhou Mansion Army Camp!"
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
"General teacher Ouyang Qili, Guangyimen, Jianxingmen, Yongyemen!"
"I accept this order from my humble position, sir, please rest assured!"
"The deputy commander, Qiao Shengchun, is in the center to provide support and coordinate the command!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Li Jiangyao paused for a moment, stared at Xiao Wu and Luo Jiankun who were standing at the back of the crowd, and said, "You two, follow me to attack the Ximen Guardhouse!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
