When he learned that Jin Feng was coming to the capital a few days ago, Qin Zhen guessed that Jin Feng would not come alone.
For this reason, he specially sent people to investigate the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
The survey results are the same as before. Although the number of escorts gathered around the capital recently is much more than last year, it is still within control.
The so-called controllable range means that even if these escorts want to cause trouble, the imperial guards can quickly suppress them.
As a result, Luo Lan now said that there were nearly two thousand escorts gathered around the capital, which was far more than the statistics of the Secret Service.
After the battle at Damang Slope, the escort's combat effectiveness has long been proven.
Especially the reputation of the Black Armored Team, Qin Zhen has heard about it in the capital.
Five hundred black-armored bodyguards managed to break through the siege of five thousand Tibetan elites. Such a feat was something that even the red-armored army could never achieve.
Jin Feng came to Beijing in person. Needless to say, the black-armored team must also be here.
If the black-armored team and more than two thousand bodyguards broke out in the capital, Qin Zhen simply did not dare to think about what would happen.
At the same time, Qin Zhen also couldn't understand why the Secret Service didn't notice that there were so many escorts here.
Suddenly, Qin Zhen saw Lao Wu and others standing behind the cart, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Although Lao Wu and others are wearing Lifu's clothes, their eyes and movements are definitely that of veterans.
Moreover, Lao Wu also controls a heavy crossbow.
There were so many bodyguards that were not used, and one Lifu was allowed to control the heavy crossbow. Even a fool Qin Zhen could guess the reason.
No wonder Luo Lan said that there were nearly two thousand escorts gathered around the capital, and it turned out that they were disguised as guys and Lifu from the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce!
"Looks like we need to reorganize the Secret Service!"
Qin Zhen sighed silently in his heart.
"One thousand nine hundred and thirty-five people, plus the people brought by Brother Liang and I, it should be about the same."
Jin Feng had no intention of caring about Qin Zhen. After hearing Luo Lan's reply, he took out the map from his pocket.
After watching for a moment, he said: "Luo Lan, send a message to the bodyguards from all over the country, asking them to set off immediately and gather at Baligou at the west gate of the capital!"
"Yes!" Luo Lan agreed and walked aside to arrange for someone to deliver the message.
Qin Zhen listened to Jin Feng's arrangements and could not think about rectifying the affairs of the Secret Service. He stepped forward and asked: "Now that things have come to this, sir, please tell me the truth. How many bodyguards have you transferred to the capital?"
"Didn't Tong Qin just hear that? There are now 1,935 bodyguards around the capital."
After Jin Feng finished speaking, he pointed around again: "Including these and the team led by Brother Liang, it's about 2,788."
In fact, Zhang Liang mobilized a total of more than 3,000 bodyguards to come to Beijing, but in order not to attract attention, they set off in batches.
There are still several teams on the road and there is no way to get there at the moment.
"Have you, sir, transferred the Zhenyuan Army?"
"I know the rules. The Zhenyuan Army cannot come to Beijing without His Majesty's order."
Jin Feng replied: "Don't worry, the capital of Qin, all 5,000 Zhenyuan troops are in Sichuan and Shu, and not one of them has come."
"So, sir, you plan to rely on bodyguards to repel the Eastern Barbarians, right?"
Qin Zhen asked tentatively.
"Yes!" Jin Feng nodded.
"Sir, do you know how many people from the Eastern Barbarians have come?" Qin Zhen asked with eyes wide open.
"I just heard Luo Lan say that there are 30,000 people here, right?"
Jin Feng asked casually.
"Sir, since you know that 30,000 Khitans are coming, you still refuse the Fish-Dragon Talisman?"
Qin Zhen looked in disbelief, wondering if he had not explained clearly, so he emphasized again: "Sir, these are 30,000 Khitan cavalry, more powerful than the original Dangxiang people!"
"I understand." Jin Feng's face remained calm.
"Sir, I know you defeated Dangxiang and Tibetan cavalry in Qingshui Valley and Xichuan, but the capital is different from Qingshui Valley and Xichuan!"
Qin Zhen said: "The open terrain around the capital is most suitable for cavalry raids. There is no geographical advantage and we can only fight hard!"
"Yes!" Jin Feng nodded in agreement.
"Sir, since you understand this, why do you still think that relying on three thousand bodyguards can repel the Eastern Barbarian cavalry?"
"I don't think it's possible, but it's definitely possible." Jin Feng said confidently.
"I……"
Qin Zhen suddenly felt that the emperor made a wrong decision to find Jin Feng.
His view of Jin Feng also took a 180-degree turn.
He had heard about Jin Feng's achievements before and admired him greatly, but now he felt that Jin Feng was too conceited.
He really couldn't imagine why 3,000 bodyguards could compete with 30,000 fierce Eastern Barbarian cavalry.
Seeing Jin Feng's confident look, Qin Zhen raised his hand perfunctorily: "Then Qin wishes you a good start. Qin has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
He must return to the capital as soon as possible to tell the emperor that Jin Feng's words are impetuous, his reputation is not worthy of his reputation, and he is not qualified to take on the important task. He must advise the emperor not to reuse Jin Feng and must think of other strategies to retreat from the enemy.
But just as Qin Zhen was about to leave, he was stopped by Jin Feng: "Qin Dutong, wait a moment."
"Sir, do you have any other advice?" Qin Zhen asked.
"I can't talk about advice. I just feel that since Your Majesty asked Qin Dutong to send the Fish and Dragon Talisman, it seems inappropriate not to accept it."
Jin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
Although he didn't think about calling in the old soldiers around the capital, Qin Town had already sent the fish and dragon talisman, so it was better to accept it than not to accept it.
What if it is used?
Even if you don't use it, hanging it on your waist still has a reputation, right?
When Qin Zhen heard this, he was so angry that he almost hit someone.
In half his life, he saw someone like Jin Feng for the first time.
Many dignitaries in the dynasty dreamed of getting the Fish and Dragon Talisman, but when they arrived at Jin Feng, they seemed to have turned into a piece of rotten stone.
"If you don't want to, sir, don't force me!"
Qin suppressed his anger and said coldly.
"Don't force it, don't force it." Jin Feng stretched out his hand again: "Qin Dutong, bring it here!"
The emperor promised that if Jin Feng promised to resist the Eastern Barbarians, he would give the fish and dragon talisman to Jin Feng.
No matter how angry Qin Zhen was, he could only take out the Fish and Dragon Talisman and give it to Jin Feng.
"Thank you Qin Dutong."
Jin Feng casually took the Fish and Dragon Talisman, put it into his sleeve without looking at it, and then asked: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask Qin Dutong, where is Wuyang now?"
"Sir, don't worry, His Highness is safe now."
Qin Zhen was no longer interested in talking to Jin Feng.
"You won't know until you see her whether she is safe or not." Jin Feng asked again: "Where is she?"
"What if I don't tell you? Are you going to kill me, sir?"
Qin Zhen was already a little irritable, but when he heard Jin Feng say this, his tone became a little more aggressive.
After saying that, he glanced provocatively at the heavy crossbow not far away.
"Qin Dutong is joking. For Qin Ming's sake, I can't kill you." Jin Feng said with a smile: "If Qin Dutong doesn't want to say it, forget it. I can just go find it myself."
Although his tone was calm and he was smiling when he spoke, everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in Jin Feng's words.
Qin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with anger.
All the hairs on Kita Chihiro's neck stood up suddenly, and she couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife.
