Deliberately releasing false intelligence can deceive the enemy and interfere with the enemy's judgment - this is a strategy that has been tried and tested throughout the ages.

"Nishino-kun, how come I don't know what you said?" Susui let out a long sigh, "But I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist."

"If the anti-barbarian group really attacks Guangxiao Road in Liangguang... we cannot bear the consequences of this!"

"I have reported this matter to the senior middlemen together with Houchuan."

"The senior officers gave us strict orders from the Southern and Northern Divisions: to do everything possible to prevent any atrocities that may be initiated by the anti-barbarian group."

Having said this, Bo Jing let out a long sigh.

"We cannot believe everything... but we cannot completely ignore the information provided by Hirota Kozaburo."

"So, Houchuan and I decided after discussion - we will coordinate with the Nanfan Institute tonight and divide our troops into two groups!"

Bo Jing's face was straight and his voice was raised.

"The 'Three Chapters' of the Nanban Institute are responsible for guarding Ryogoku Hirokoji tonight! Prevent the anti-barbarian group from actually launching an attack on Ryogoku Hirokoji!"

"And our "Sanchai" from the Northern Division are stationed in various places in Edo, responsible for monitoring various areas of Edo, and beware that the 'attack on Ryogoku Hirokoji' is just a tactic deliberately used by the anti-barbarian group to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west!"

After saying that, Bosui picked up a large rolled paper lying beside him, stood up and left his seat, walked quickly to the center of the room, and placed the large rolled paper on the tatami in the center of the room.

shop.

This large rolled up paper turned out to be a map of Edo.

"This is the defense map for tonight that I made in collaboration with you this morning!" Bo Jing said loudly, "On this map, the defense areas that everyone is responsible for tonight are marked!"

People sitting on the left and right sides of the room came closer.

Qingdeng quickly scanned the map and quickly found his name - his name was marked in the northwest corner of the map.

"The content of your mission tonight is quite simple - watch the defense areas you are responsible for! Once you find traces of the anti-barbarian group in the defense areas you are responsible for, report it immediately!"

Having said this, Bo Jing paused for a moment, raised his gaze, and scanned the faces of the people around him.

I saw that most of the people... now looked like they had not yet recovered from their sleep.

It is not difficult to understand that they would show such an appearance.

After all, as of the start of this emergency meeting, they were either on vacation or handling today's work step by step.

Suddenly being told that a very important operation was going to be carried out tonight... Without any corresponding psychological preparation, they all showed uncontrollable expressions of confusion and disbelief.

After seeing the changes in the expressions of his subordinates at this moment, Hakui sighed heavily.

"...I know this mission is sudden and urgent." There was a hint of tiredness in Bo Jing's voice, "But we can only bite the bullet and get on with it."

"The Nanfang Station responsible for guarding Ryogoku Hirokoji tonight has a heavy burden on their shoulders... The burden on our Northern Station's shoulders is also not light."

"If the actual goal of the anti-barbarian group is really somewhere else, and the 'looting Guangxiaolu of Ryogoku' is just fake news deliberately released by the anti-barbarian group to divert our combat power and attention...can we successfully detect it?

Finding the real attack target of the anti-barbarian group depends on whether we, who are responsible for the defense of Edo, can fulfill our duties!"

"If the intelligence we have received so far is all false information, the anti-barbarian group actually has no plan to carry out any operations tonight, or the anti-barbarian group retreated before the battle and found out that our execution office was ready to attack them tonight.

After getting ready, I felt timid and canceled my plans for tonight. It would be best if Edo can be calm tonight."

"But we can't take it for granted. We have to prepare for the worst."

"No matter what these lunatics do, it's not surprising."

Bo Jing raised his solemn gaze.

Say it word for word in a tone that doesn't allow for criticism:

"Tonight, no one is allowed to be absent!"

"And... everyone is ready to fight tonight!"

…

…

That evening——

Whenever there is a big mission or big operation that requires the use of real swords and guns with the enemy, the execution office will distribute life-saving chainmail, handcuffs and other protective equipment to those involved in the operation.

Beifan Station has been set as the general base for tonight's big operation.

At this moment, the "Three Chapters" from the Southern and Northern Divisions gathered in a room in the Northern Division, holding their respective armors.

Noises came and went.

…

"The armor is here! Come and get it!"

"Don't crowd! Don't crowd! Get in line for me!"

"Hey, my chainmail seems to be rusty. Give me a new one."

"No need to change, just make do with it."

"How can you make do with a life-saving thing like armor?! Get me a new one quickly!"

…

"Oh, is this chain armor? Tsk, tsk, this set of mine is still very new..." Harada looked at the protective gear that had just been distributed to him with curious eyes.

Harada threw up his chainmail and caught it again: "Tsk, it's quite heavy."

"Okay, stop playing around." Aotobu, who was standing next to Harada, urged Harada in a helpless tone not to play around with the precious armor, then turned to look at Saito, Nagakura and others beside him, "Take them all.

Have you arrived at the armor?"

"Yes!" Todo nodded vigorously, "We got them all!"

"Check whether there is any damage to the protective gear in each hand. If there is any damage, replace it immediately."

Qingden said righteously.

"These are life-saving gadgets, so don't be too careless."

"Hmm..." Harada raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Mr. Tachibana, this is the first time I have seen chain mail. What kind of chain mail is considered intact?"

"Mr. Tachibana... this is also the first time I've seen chainmail..." Todo laughed awkwardly.

It's normal not to recognize the chainmail. After all, only the government has such protective gear in stock.

After waving to Harada and Toudo, who didn't know how to tell whether the chain armor was good or bad, and motioning them to come closer, Aoto patiently explained to them how to check whether the chain armor was damaged, and taught them step by step how to put it on.

protective gear.

With Qingto's help, after putting on a series of armor such as chainmail, cage gloves, and leggings, Harada raised his hand and patted his now hard chest.

"Tsk tsk... I finally understand why all the generals in the Warring States Period were able to fight left and right on the battlefield, and they could defeat thousands of people with one horse." Harada smiled naively, "Wearing such hard protective gear, ordinary people

Your sword can't break through the defense at all, but if it were me, I could ride a thousand horses!"

After vigorously moving his shoulders to make sure that the protective gear on his body was not too tight or too loose, Harada turned to Qingnobo expectantly and asked:

"Mr. Tachibana, what is our mission tonight?"

"We are going to monitor the anti-barbarian group in the area we are responsible for tonight..."

Qingto's explanation had just begun when Harada frowned and raised his hand to support his head: "Forget it, Mr. Tachibana, please stop talking."

"I don't like to use my brain. These complicated tasks make my head spin."

"Anyway, just follow you and follow your orders!"

After saying that, Harada raised his spear, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

"Haha! I didn't expect that I would be able to participate in such a big mission just after I joined you today!"

"Mr. Tachibana, when will we officially start the mission? I can't wait!"

Wish me a happy birthday!

Today is the author’s 23rd birthday! Bang bang bang bang bang bang (applause)

In the blink of an eye, I am already 23 years old. How fast.

For the annual birthday, the author has nothing to ask for. I just hope that everyone can vote more for this book today and allow me to take a day off tomorrow (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)

As early as yesterday, the author was celebrating his birthday with his friends, so today's updates will be less. I probably don't have much time to write today, so there will probably be no updates tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
