Chapter 261: Double Cannon(1/2)
When Li Chenan and his entourage left for the Prime Minister's Mansion, the battle that took place at the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society had already ended.
The Imperial City Division's Military Intelligence Branch 7 achieved a complete victory and almost annihilated all the core members of the Fish and Dragon Society.
What I mean by "almost" is that when Wang Zheng Jinzhong identified the corpses, he found that two main personnel were missing -
One is the Great Elder Xie Wushuang.
One is Yang Sixian, who walks the world in the Fish and Dragon Society.
Of course, this is not the main thing.
The main thing is that when Wang Zheng Jinzhong led people to the water prison, it was empty.
He did not find Li Chenan and others. In this water prison, there was also a person named by Mr. Changsun to be brought back to the Imperial City Division!
His surname is Liang and his given name is Shukang.
He holds a pivotal position in the White Alliance.
The White Clothes Alliance has always been very mysterious and has always been against the Imperial City Division. Mr. Changsun still does not understand the reason. He can only suspect that there are enemy forces behind the White Clothes League.
Liang Shukang was a fish that the Imperial City Division had been fishing for for a long time, but he fell into the hands of the Fish and Dragon Society three years ago.
The Imperial City Division approached the Fish and Dragon Society to ask for someone, but the Fish and Dragon Society refused.
The elimination of the Fish and Dragon Society this time was not about taking a breath. In Wang Zheng Jinzhong's opinion, I am afraid that Mr. Changsun already knows some secrets of the White Clothes Alliance, and he needs to capture Liang Shukang for interrogation and verification.
He and his subordinates were about to separately search for the whereabouts of Li Chenan and others and Liang Shukang, but he did not expect that Yulong would be heavily surrounded by the Qianniu Guards led by Ji Tuo.
Ji Tuo rode on his war horse and squinted his eyes to see the tragic situation here. His heart was bleeding——
My father spent a lot of energy and financial resources to make the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society what it is today!
The existence of the Fish and Dragon Society is the most useful knife for my father to collect information, assassinate political opponents and threaten them!
But now...
This knife has been cut off inch by inch.
Once the headquarters was destroyed, the prestige of the Fish and Dragon Society was gone.
The reputation of the Fish and Dragon Society... will definitely plummet!
My father's hard work was ruined in one day!
Imperial City Division!
Changsun Jinghong!
The night was very dark, the lights were off, there were ruins everywhere, and there was still smoke... Where did the smoke come from?
Ji Tuo didn't think about it that much.
On a dark and windy murderous night, the Imperial City Division's Military Intelligence Division 7 was wiped out, and one of Changsun Jinghong's arms was also broken...
He pulled out the knife with a "Clang...!" sound!
"The bandits are causing trouble, let me kill them all!"
Ji Tuo gave an order, and one of his cronies, Qianniu Guard Right Guard Zhonglang General Zhu Guangyuan, shouted: "All right guards obey orders... kill...!"
He took the lead, and as soon as the horse's hooves took two steps, a voice suddenly sounded:
"slow……"
The speaker was Cheng Zhe, the general of Qianniu Guards Zuowei Zhonglang.
"General Ji, they are from the Imperial City Division!"
Ji Tuo's eyes narrowed, "People from the Imperial City Department cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately in Kyoto!"
"Besides, this general has learned the intelligence that they are gangsters disguised as members of the Imperial City Division causing trouble...do it!"
"slow!"
Chen Zhe stepped forward on his horse and said, "The Emperor's secret decree, Ji Tuo listens to it!"
Ji Tuo was suddenly shocked when he saw Chen Zhe take out an imperial edict.
Chen Zhe looked at Ji Tuo, "Kneel down and receive the order!"
Ji Tuo's hands tightly grasped the reins of the war horse. After five breaths, his hands relaxed.
He turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, Ji Tuo listens to your order!"
"Ji Qing, I ordered you to protect Li Chenan. I ask you, where is Li Chenan and others?"
This imperial edict was extremely irregular, more like a letter of apology, but Ji Tuo knew that this was exactly the emperor's tone.
It’s just...how does the emperor know that I didn’t find Li Chenan?
"Ichthyosaurus Club... I, the dragon, don't care anymore, so why does the fish still care?"
"Let's break up. It will be dawn. You can face the wall for three days and think about it carefully!"
Ji Tuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In this way, the emperor is aware of every move he makes!
The emperor must have known about his disloyalty.
Then...is it as simple as just facing the wall for three days?
I have to go back and ask my father how to deal with this matter.
"Your Majesty, Ji Tuo accepts the order!"
Chen Zhe put away the imperial edict, jumped off his horse and put it in Ji Tuo's hand, and returned to his left guard soldiers without saying anything.
Ji Tuo withdrew his troops and took three of his guards to beat the horses and rush towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
…
Prime Minister's Mansion.
The lights in Jitai's study are still on.
It's just that Duke Yan has left, and the old man in black robe sitting in a wheelchair is still beside him.
What needs to be said has been said.
The tea you should drink has been drunk.
Then there was silence, except for the rustling sound of Ji Tai writing on the paper.
It's not like he was writing a secret letter.
He is copying the fifteen poems Li Chenan wrote tonight——
The Emperor did not recite the sixteenth poem, so no one on the third floor of the Zaidao Tower knew what kind of poem it was.
The old man in black robe was also stroking his long beard and reading the poems copied by Jitai. A look of surprise appeared on his withered face.
"If I hadn't heard what the Prime Minister said personally... I would never have believed that anyone in the world could write so many wonderful poems without stopping and without thinking!"
"So, this kid not only has the true biography of Li Chunfu, but his attainments in poetry... even far surpass Li Chunfu!"
"No wonder the emperor is so happy."
The old man in black robe put down the papers and raised his eyes to look at Jita.
"The Emperor has not gone to court for nearly twenty years, and now for Li Chenan's sake, the Emperor is planning to hold a large court meeting."
"I think the emperor still won't reveal his identity."
After Ji Tai finished writing the last poem, he put down the pen and asked: "Why?"
"After all, there is a prince in the East Palace... His Highness the prince is not stupid."
"The sword can be used to gain strength without being unsheathed. If the emperor directly calls out his identity and draws out the sword... it will bleed!"
Ji Tai pondered for a moment, "Do you think Li Chenan won't die tonight?"
The old man in black robe picked up the last piece of paper and looked at it, "I still think that the Prime Minister's game tonight... is a bad move!"
Ji Tai frowned, and suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside. He turned around and saw his second son, Ji Tuo, walking in in a hurry.
"Father!"
Ji Tuo bowed and said, "The plan failed!"
"what happened?"
"The emperor gave Cheng Zhe a secret order, ordering the boy to withdraw his troops!"
"..."
Ji Tai's eyes slowly narrowed, "So, the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society is gone?"
"Going back to my father, there were several huge explosions at the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society. The flames shot into the sky, and the thick smoke billowed like meteors falling to the ground... I don't know what caused it."
"Then, Imperial City Secretary Wang Zheng Jinzhong led MI7 to arrive...I am afraid that the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society will be completely wiped out!"
To be continued...
