Chapter 794: Lian Zhongwen's Killer
Lian Zhongwen has been very busy recently. During the day, he has to drive a carriage, go through villages, buy fur goods from migrants, and then transport the goods back to the warehouse. At night, he put on a night clothes and left the warehouse like a night owl. Even Zou Peng, the owner of the warehouse, didn't know what he was busy with. There was a small room in the warehouse, which belonged to Lian Zhongwen. Without his permission, no one could enter, and even Zou Peng could not. Once Zhongwen returned to the warehouse, he always locked himself in this small room, and didn't know what he was busy with.
So busy and so tired, Lian Zhongwen naturally lost weight quickly. Every day, he looked like he had not had a good sleep. He was covered with two dark circles and his eyes were covered with blood.
Zou Peng is the head of Luowang in Luzhou. Under the high-pressure attack situation of the staff, although he cannot make Luowang bigger and stronger in Luzhou, it is already a great sign that he can survive tenaciously. In most states in the north, Luowang has been almost uprooted. Even if there are three or two small fish and shrimps leaking the net, it cannot become a climate. It is just a matter of breathing. He should be very proud to survive in the north. But this action still made him feel extremely strange.
As a grocer with a large scale in Luzhou, if he does not take action, he will arouse suspicion if he does not take action. So before receiving Lian Zhongwen's instructions, he had already led people to Qinzhou to set up a camp. Of course, it was just a pure business.
It was not until he received the order from Lian Zhongwen that Zou Peng officially entered the role of the captain of the net spy, but Lian Zhongwen's many of his practices made him completely unable to understand. Lian Zhongwen came from the south and brought a group of elite net talents. In Zou Peng's opinion, those people were several levels higher than his subordinates in Luzhou, but Lian Zhongwen abandoned them and sent them to Xingling.
Where is Xingling? It is the base camp of the Northern Governor's Office, the political center of the north, and the old nest of the Zhengfangsi. Zou Peng believes that no matter how good the staff is, when you arrive, you will be a meat bun to beat a dog, and you will never return. Xingling and Shangjing are two completely different places. Shangjing has been the capital of a country for hundreds of years and has developed into a large city, with an all-encompassing population of millions. The Zhengfangsi can sneak in and set up camps and make the net helpless, because Shangjing itself is too complicated and you cannot tell from the millions of people that are malicious. But Xingling is completely different. Those who can live in that place are the absolute supporters of Yun Zhao, especially in Xingling City. In addition to officials and their families, they are soldiers, and the population is not particularly large. This makes outsiders want to gain a foothold there, which is an impossible task.
In other words, Lian Zhongwen sent these people to Xingling to let them die.
Wouldn't it be a waste of the foundation and the end of using your own troops? But Zou Peng could only keep this in his heart and would not ask. This is the most basic quality of a spy detective. If you don't let you know, don't ask. If you want you to know, you will tell you if you don't ask.
What exactly did Lian Zhongwen do when he came across the river? Until now, even Zhongwen has not told him that if he just collected intelligence, there would be no need for a big man like Lian Zhongwen to come over, and he sent so many elite soldiers to die. There is no need to think too much about it. Zou Peng also knew that this time it would inevitably lead to a big event, but he just couldn't imagine it for a while.
Lying on the bed, Zou Peng couldn't stop sleeping. He thought about the purpose of Lian Zhongwen's trip, and at the same time, he thought about the family and the family in Luzhou. If he was not a spy detective of Luowang, he would definitely be a successful businessman. Unfortunately, he entered the waiting door as deep as the sea. After entering this door, he would not even think about it. Even the capital for his own business was given by Luowang. Over the years, Luowang has never asked him to live a son. The money he earned in these years has allowed the family to enjoy the glory. From a person with nothing to being rich now, it has to be said that all this is given by Luowang. Even if he has to pay it back to them, it is destined, and at least he has enjoyed it. But the boys at home will have a difficult life in the future.
Lian Zhongwen had a great idea. With Zou Peng's shrewdness, he knew that once he started, even if he succeeded, the counterattack of Zhengfangsi would be fierce. He would never be able to hide anymore. He had known that he would have arranged his family's retreat before he came. But now it is impossible. Any abnormal movement may arouse the alertness of Luzhou Zhengfangsi and thus ruin major events.
A gentle clatter came from the small room next door. It must be Lian Zhongwen who was back. Zou Peng sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, reached out to hold a dagger under the pillow, walked gently to the door, and looked through the crack of the door.
Being careful is never a bad thing.
Lian Zhongwen's face became bigger and bigger in front of him. He took off half of the mask and hung it on his face casually. He came to him. Zou Peng was stunned. For so many days, Lian Zhongwen had never come back from outside in the evening and came to him later, and he always tinkered with anything in his room.
Then, a loud knock on the door sounded, Zou Peng calmed down and opened the door. Seeing Zou Peng standing by the door, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, Lian Zhongwen was slightly stunned, nodded at Zou Peng, and said softly: "Come to my room!"
Although living next door, it was the first time Zou Peng entered Lian Zhongwen's room. The room was in a mess and a stench came to his face. Zou Peng couldn't help but frowned.
Lian Zhongwen did not notice Zou Peng's expression, and seemed a little absent-minded. "Sit!" He pointed to his bed. In fact, there were no tables and benches in his room.
"Are you going to take action?" Zou Peng asked softly.
A little surprised by Zou Peng's keenness, Lian Zhongwen glanced at him and nodded, "It's almost!"
“What is the goal?”
"One person!" Lian Zhongwen answered, half-kneeling on the ground, dragging out one greased paper package after another from under the bed, and put them in the center of the room.
"Assassination?" Zou Peng's heart shook slightly. Lian Zhongwen took action himself. This person must be an important figure in the Northern Army.
"good."
"who?"
Lian Zhongwen dragged out the last thing, piled up a lot of things in the room, looking at these things. Lian Zhongwen grinned and smiled. "Mongol princess Yardan!"
Zou Peng was stunned. "Yaldan?"
"Yardan, Yun Zhao's intention to cross the south to attack the Central Plains is very obvious. If we can kill Yaldan, even if the Meng people cannot rebel, Yun Zhao will never have the energy to cross the south in a short period of time. He is just afraid that he will be busy pacifying the Meng people and dealing with the possible rebellion of the Mongolian people. This is my purpose this time!" Lian Zhongwen said.
"Yaldan was the Mongol Emperor, and now he is Yun Zhao's wife. It must be protected with strict protection. How could we get it? Isn't this a waste of time? Not to mention Yaldan's personal guard, even the cavalry of Jamuha, Qinzhou will also be protected with strict protection. Could it be that we should use a knife to fight the cavalry?" Zou Peng asked.
"I have my own way!" Lian Zhongwen sneered, "What do you think I'm doing these days? Isn't it just that I've been busy with this matter? If I don't attack, I'll have to do it. One attack will inevitably be like thunder."
"What's the solution for Mr. Even?"
Lian Zhongwen pointed to the oil paper bag on the ground, "Open it!"
Zou Peng squatted down in confusion, tore open a bag of oil paper, and looked at an iron thing with oily gloss inside. He couldn't recognize what it was, so he couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"Tear them all!" Lian Zhongwen ordered.
One by one, the oil-paper bags were opened by Zou Peng, and Zou Peng's face slowly showed a look of surprise. The surprise became stronger and stronger, so that at the end, he turned his head and looked at Lian Zhongwen, his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg into it.
Lian Zhongwen squatted down, stroked the cold iron parts on the ground, and smiled and said, "How is it, you can't imagine it?"
"This is the Demon-Subduing Crossbow. Lord!" Zou Peng tried his best to suppress his voice, but he was still full of excitement. "This is a weapon strictly controlled by the Northern Army. How could you get this thing!"
"How did you get it? Just steal it!" Lian Zhongwen said it lightly.
"This is impossible. The Demon-Subduing Crossbow is the killing weapon of the Zhengbei Army. Each piece is numbered. If you lose one, you will immediately check his whereabouts. For such a long time, the Zhengbei Army has not made any noise at all, which means that they have never lost the Demon-Subduing Crossbow. Where did you come from?" Zou Peng questioned.
Lian Zhongwen snorted, "They did not lose a demon-subduing crossbow, but many of their demon-subduing crossbows lost one or two parts!"
Zou Peng looked at Lian Zhongwen and suddenly realized, "So you stole a part from each of the demon-suffering crossbows?"
"Yes, in Qinzhou, there are many garrisons of the Zhengbei Army. Each garrison will be equipped with a demon-subduing crossbow. I sneaked into different troops and stole something from each demon-subduing crossbow. After stealing these days, I finally got together. Thanks to the armour workshop of the Zhengbei Army. The size of each of their demon-subduing crossbows is exactly the same and can be used interchangeably, which gives my plan a basis for success!" Although he said this, Lian Zhongwen's face was not happy.
"Sir, with the Demon-Subduing Crossbow, our hope of success has increased greatly. Why are you still unhappy?" Zou Peng asked in confusion.
Touching the cold parts on the ground, "Zou Peng, have you not seen anything from these parts?"
Zou Peng shook his head.
"The military industry in the North has actually developed to this point. They can make the size of a component exactly the same. Do you know how difficult it is? Do you know how effective this can be in actual application? The North Army has done these things, and we ourselves are not sure how much behind! These days, have you seen those belt trucks carrying soil? Do you see those people easily mentioning tens of thousands of kilograms of stones to high-altitude cranes? Every time I see these, I feel cold in my heart. Unfortunately, in our south, I don't know how many people don't take the Northern Army seriously, including our Emperor, and our King Luo's leader, Xian Concubine. I don't know what they would think when they saw this with their own eyes?" Lian Zhongwen said sadly. "I can't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes!"
Zou Peng looked at Lian Zhongwen, "Sir, do you think the court will not be an opponent of the Northern Army?"
Lian Zhongwen sighed: "The court all believed that as long as there is time to restore the vitality of the Central Plains, we can defeat the Northern Army with one blow. But now in my opinion, we should concentrate all our strength and start a decisive battle with Yun Zhao when he was not strong enough. Now they are not able to get along with the Mongolian people. In time, I am afraid that the North will be stronger and so powerful that the South cannot compete with it."
"Why don't you tell me?"
Lian Zhongwen sighed: "The person is so gentle, Zou Peng, don't think I am the number one person in the net, but I am a bullshit in the court!"
