Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Competitive Spy

With a whistle, Zhang Jianle stopped the horse. ≠ In front of him, teams of soldiers surrounded the heaven and earth. More than a dozen big men, holding iron hammers, smashed the door open. The soldiers rushed in and rushed in.

What shocked him was that these soldiers were not his subordinates, but from the palace guards.

"What's wrong?" He slowly stepped forward, stretched out his whip, and stopped an imperial guard officer.

"It turns out to be General Zhang!" The imperial guard officer saw Zhang Jian on his horse and bowed with fists, "According to the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will seal the heaven and earth, and capture all the prisoners in the heaven and earth."

"What did they do?" Zhang Jian frowned and said, "The city is already in chaos. Is there no fear of panic in such a big fanfare?"

"The general was the Minister of Revenue Su Kairong and Su who reported to the Prince of the Crown Prince, saying that the heaven and earth were the gathering place for spies from the Taiping Army. When the Prince heard this, he was furious and sent his subordinates to capture him."

So that's it! Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment. The world of heaven and earth originally belonged to Shayang County, but later it was taken advantage of by Su Kairong. Later, the Taiping Army rose in Shayang County. Su Kairong somehow returned the world of heaven and earth to the other party. This is not a secret in the small circle of Yuejing City.

Now Su Kairong has had an opportunity to take revenge. But it’s a bit stupid. Zhang Jian sneered, then rode his horse back. Su Kairong did this and was looking for death. Once the Taiping Army finally took over Yuejing, how could he settle the accounts after the autumn? Su Kairong could do such a fool for a little money, and he really wanted money and lifelessness.

Walking on the road while riding a horse, Zhang Jian felt worried again. The only point he knew to contact the other party no longer exists. How can he find the Taiping Army?

"General Zhang, are you looking for me?" A whimpering sound suddenly came from the corner of the street. Zhang Jian shook his body, turned his head, and looked at the place where the sound came.

A man covered in a black robe was leaning against the corner of the wall, with bright eyes looking at him.

"Are you Xiangxiang?" Zhang Jian said in a puzzled way.

The people in the corner laughed, unbuttoned the mask, revealing a beautiful face, "General Zhang is so powerful that he can recognize me in this way."

If Zhang Jian was usually going to tease the beauty in front of him and take advantage of it, but now he doesn't have the intention. "I want to see your boss." He said bluntly.

"Please, General Zhang." Xiangxiang smiled and reached out to give in.

Zhang Jian turned over and got off the horse, led the horse and walked into the narrow alley with Xiangxiang. A corner door had already opened, and Xiangxiang walked straight in. "General Zhang, please, our boss is waiting for you!"

Zhang Jian turned around and looked at the direction of the heaven and earth. Here, it was only a street away from the heaven and earth. Now there was a busy and crowded voice, but here it was extremely quiet.

I walked into the corner gate, walked forward for a while, came out of another small gate, and crossed a street, but entered the middle of a deep mansion.

He was stunned for a moment. He recognized the owner of the house. Isn’t this the mansion of Wang Zhao, the Minister of Rites? Wang Zhao went on a mission to Taiping City. After returning, he was always angry with the Taiping Army. He was a famous anti-Taiping Army faction in the court. But now, the old nest of the Taiping Army spies is actually set up in his home.

This is really unexpected.

Looking at Zhang Jian's face, Xiangxiang covered her mouth and smiled: "General Zhang, you came a little late. Wang Shangshu, that's the real opportunity to see it early. When our Taiping Army troops left Yongping County, Wang Shangshu quietly contacted us. Although the outcome was not yet decided at that time, Wang Shangshu also held the attitude of stepping on two boats, but this keenness made us admire our heads!"

Zhang Jian smiled awkwardly.

Under Xiangxiang's guidance, he walked into a house and stepped into the door. He saw Wang Zhao, the Minister of Justice, who had just been in court. Previously, the Secretary of the Wang Dynasty was still making a generous speech to His Highness. The two looked at each other and turned their eyes toward others.

Zi Luo, the proprietress of the heaven and earth, stood up with a smile and bowed to Zhang Jian for blessings, "General Zhang, I have been looking forward to you!"

Beside Zi Luo, an ugly thin man stood up, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed to Zhang Jian: "Tian Zhen, Taiping Army."

Zhang Jian quickly saluted and looked at Tian Zhen with inquiring eyes. He could not recognize the person in front of him.

Zi Luo smiled and said, "I will introduce to General Zhang that this is the highest person in charge of the Taiping Army in Yuejing City, Tian Zhen, and is also my husband."

When he heard that it was Zi Luo's husband, Zhang Jian couldn't help but look at the man curiously again. He stood with Zi Luo and didn't match him no matter how he looked. He was a beautiful woman and a wild beast.

Tian Zhen coughed lightly and pulled Zhang Jian's attention back.

"General Zhang, please sit down." Tian Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "I just came back from Zhongpingjun. Let me introduce the specific situation to you first."

"I wish to leave it carefully." Zhang Jian nodded.

"I think about what happened roughly, you already know. What I want to tell you now is that Wu Jian was indeed dead, Kang Qiao committed suicide at the desperate situation, and the Hu Ben Army no longer exists. Moreover, we deliberately let go of the more than 3,000 county soldiers who fled back led by General Zhang's father, and there were a large number of people from our Taiping Army inside." Tian Zhen said with a smile.

This time, not only Wang Zhao, but also Zhang Jian was shocked.

"Mr. Tian, ​​do you mean?" he said tremblingly.

Tian Zhen smiled and said, "General Zhang guessed it well. Ling Zun was captured by our army in Zhongping County, and Ling Zun has already expressed his opinion and is willing to cooperate with us."

After hearing this, Zhang Jian couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Previously, he was considering how to convince his father to agree to his secret conversation with the Taiping Army after his father came back. Unexpectedly, his father took a step ahead of him.

"The troops led by Ling Zun will enter Yuejing City tomorrow, and the earliest Eunuch Le has surrendered us." Tian Zhen also threw out another explosive news. "Eunuch Le will arrange our people to enter the palace. When our Taiping Army arrives in Yuejing City, we will take Wujing. Our goal is to take Yuejing City without bloodshed and try to bleed as little as possible. We were still a little worried, but since General Zhang is here today, I think this goal will be easily achieved."

Zhang Jian let out a long sigh, "Mr. Tian, ​​as far as I know, there are still other masters hidden in the palace. Although there are no masters, there are still a few ninth-level masters."

"It's okay." Tian Zhen said concisely: "Our people are enough to deal with the only two priests left in the palace, the ninth-level master, in the eyes of our Taiping Army, they are not a great figure."

Zhang Jian was speechless. Indeed, there were two masters from the news brought back by Eunuch Le. As long as one goes to the capital, there will be people like Eunuch Le, himself, and Wang Zhao as an insider. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rampant Wuji.

"Next, I will introduce to you the power that our Taiping Army now has in Yuejing City. When we move, everyone should know it and not hurt their own people by chance." Tian Zhen waved his hand with a smile. Zi Luo on one side had already laid a Yuejing City defense map on the table. Seeing these detailed defense maps, Zhang Jian couldn't help but feel shocked. Isn't this the core secret of the city gate army? It actually appeared in the hands of the Taiping Army in a blatant manner. You can imagine that there are definitely people under his subordinates who have already defected to the Taiping Army.

Fortunately, I am here today.

Tian Zhen ignored Zhang Jian's little thoughts, but pointed at places and began to explain, where they were their people, and there were still problems. After a stick of incense, Zhang Jian was already sweating profusely. It turned out that there were so many Taiping spies lurking in the capital, so they could simply organize into an army.

"General Zhang, what else do you have?" Tian Zhen asked.

"There are no other people to be afraid. Even Jian Fang's place may become our obstacle. You also know that during the battle in Longyou County, he followed Mrs. Xiao to fight against Luo's army and was commended by His Majesty. Now he is the deputy commander of the City Gate Army. More than a thousand people under his command are all subordinates he brought back from Longyou County."

"Jian Fang, you can find a way to solve this problem. Whether you recruit surrender or kill him, you can't make him an obstacle for us anyway." Tian Zhen said murderously. "Shangshu Wang, General Zhang, our General Qin has promised that when the Taiping Army enters the city, anyone who has helped us will have enough rewards to satisfy you. This is the last moment. I hope everyone can work together sincerely and finish this matter beautifully."

When Zhang Jian walked out of Wang Zhao's Minister of Justice's Mansion, the shadows shrouded on his head had disappeared. The big tree in Dayue was about to fall, but fortunately, he climbed up another big tree. Even if he had no previous authority in the future, he would at least live a comfortable life.

He raised his horse and ran towards the city gate army yamen. Now, he was going to solve the problem of Jian Fang.

In the palace, Eunuch Le's hands were hanging on his side and respectfully respected the two people in the house. "My aunt and slave have already arranged it. You are dressed as a palace maid, and Mr. Huo is dressed as a guard soldier, both on duty in the Ming Palace. When the Taiping Army arrives at the city, His Royal Highness, Oh, no, no, it is Wu Jing, and he will definitely stay in the Ming Palace. That is the best opportunity to win him."

"Who is there any master around Wu Jing?" Huo Guang asked.

"There are two level nine masters who worship, and there are no other masters." Eunuch Le said justice.

Huo Guang laughed: "Are two level nine priests? That's really no problem, but at that time, if the Imperial Guards rushed in, it would be a little trouble."

"The Imperial Guards will basically be transferred to the city." Eunuch Le laughed, "The palace is extremely empty."

Yinggu laughed and said, "Eunuch Le, it seems that you have put in some effort to become the chief supervisor of Qin Feng in the future!"

Eunuch Le lowered his head and said, "Being able to serve General Qin is a blessing for slaves." (To be continued.)8
