Chapter 470: Black Ice Terrace
----------------------------------
The Black Ice Platform is a cliff hidden deep in Zhongnan Mountain. It has a steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lao Qin once set up a large camp here, specifically for selecting and training iron sword dead soldiers. The selected iron sword dead soldiers were sent to various countries to specialize in assassination and poisoning. After a hundred years, the Black Ice Platform has become famous.
Chen Ping wanted to rebuild the Black Ice Platform, of course, not simply to train the elite Han army in Zhongnan Mountains. Chen Ping's most important purpose was to establish a spy institution similar to the Chu Ebony Cliff. Because the existence of the Chu Ebony Cliff had seriously threatened the security of the Han Dynasty in Guanzhong, and conventional means were not enough to counter the Ebony Cliff, Chen Ping thought of using spies to control spies.
After obtaining the consent of King Liu Heng of Han, Chen Ping secretly returned to Xianyang first. Then, based on Liu Heng's secret edict, he selected 500 people with innocent family backgrounds and excellent martial arts as the team, and selected 50 people with simple backgrounds from Xianyang as their spys. Hei Bingtai was listed.
When Chen Ping was reviewing the list of members of the Black Ice Platform one by one, Tiejian Commander Sun Shang strode in.
Shusun Shang was originally the Imperial Guard General responsible for protecting the Eastern Palace. He was the legitimate grandson of the late Grand Tutor Shusuntong, and the younger brother of Shusunying, the Imperial Guard General responsible for the safety of Weiyang Palace.
After entering the headquarters, Uncle Sun Shang bowed to Chen Ping and said, "Tai Shi, everyone is here."
"Very good." Chen Ping nodded slightly and said, "You will let the fifty eagle soldiers scatter into the market to collect all clues about pigeons, but you have to act secretly and never alert the snake!" The so-called eagle soldiers are actually the disciples of the fifty eagle soldiers, and the iron sword dead soldiers are five hundred elites selected from the Imperial Guards.
"Here!" Uncle Sun Shang replied with a loud bang and took the order.

After reading the edict, Bai Mo handed it to Lu Tai and said, "General, please accept the edict."
Lu Tai silently took over the will of the previous king, but was still struggling violently in his heart. Should he let go and call the sword and axe? But when he looked at Zhou Guanfu who was close at hand and pressed the hilt of the sword, Lu Tai hesitated again. Although he and Zhou Guanfu grew up together since childhood and had a close relationship, Zhou Guanfu might not favor him in the face of major issues.
If, once the judgment is wrong, even if the swordsman can kill Bai Mo, I am afraid that Zhou Guanfu will kill him first. It doesn’t matter if he died Lu Tai, but if he caused a catastrophe to the entire Lu family, it would be too late to regret it. Lu Tai is very confused. Will Zhou Guanfu be at him? Will he take the risk or not?
Bai Mo did not give Lu Tai any time or opportunity to weigh the pros and cons at all. Once Lu Tai took over the will, he continued: "General, the former king has another will. He needs to gather the generals in the Qi army to read it out. Why not just summon the generals in the army?"
This is an suggestion that cannot be rejected, but in fact it is useless to refuse. I ordered my personal soldiers to beat the drums and gather the generals.
Soon, more than a dozen generals arrived at the central tent of Lutai in amid the dense sound of war drums. Seeing Bai Mo also present, the generals showed surprise and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Bai Mo took out another will and said loudly: "The will of the former king!"
In addition to Zhou Guanfu, who stood behind Bai Mo, Lu Tai and more than a dozen generals knelt on the ground. Bai Mo then launched Liu Bang's will to read it loudly, which means that the 30,000 Han cavalry under Lu Tai's command and more than 10,000 Yuezhi cavalry will be handed over to the commander of the champion Hou Piaopiao General Zhou Guanfu, and Lu Tai will return to Xianyang to report the order.
When he heard that Liu Bang died, more than ten generals of the Han Dynasty could not help but scream a few times.
When the generals stood up, Bai Mo said to Lu Tai again: "General, let's hand over the military power."
Master Lu sighed. He couldn't make up his mind just now, but now he has no chance. These more than ten generals have been under his command for a long time. If they were in normal times, they would definitely not dare to disobey him. However, in front of Bai Mo and Zhou Guanfu, it is a different matter. He took out the military talisman from his arms and handed it to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo smiled slightly and left with Zhou Guanfu and more than ten generals.
Lu Tai and his colleagues were out of the tent and looked at Bai Mo and others in dismay, unable to control themselves for a long time.
Amid the rapid footsteps, Lu Ze and Lu Lu's figure turned out from behind the tent, and Lu Ze said: "Brother, why?"
Lu Lu said in discomfortably: "Yes, brother, why don't you take action? As long as you give the order just now, Zhou Guanfu, the man surnamed Bai, had already been dismembered by our swordsmanship!"
Lu Tai sighed and said, "Maybe you can kill the champion Hou, but before that, I am afraid that my brother would die long ago under the champion Hou Jian."
Lu Ze and Lu Lu were silent. They had never thought about this. With Zhou Guanfu's skills, they might be able to kill Lu Tai before they rushed into the tent with their swords and axes. If Lu Tai died, with their appeal and ability, they could not control these tens of thousands of troops at all, and then the Lu family would be finished.
"God's will, what is this God's will?" Lu Tai shook his head and sighed.

There is not no reason why Chen Ping decided to discover the eagle soldiers from the market.
As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths and wolfs have wolf tracks. If you are familiar with Xianyang and the surrounding areas, no one can compare to these idle market rogues.
Yu Si is such a rogue in the market. However, when he was selected as the Queen of Eagle, Yu Si thought he had an identity, so he gave himself a big number, Long Yun, from Feng Conghu and Yun Conglong. This guy really doesn't know the depth and it actually means that he is a dragon. Fortunately, there is no saying that the true dragon emperor is still there at this time, and no one comes to cause trouble for him.
Yu Longyun is also very smart. He knows that small families will never dare to raise pigeons under the ban, and he can't get in. However, this is not difficult for him. He can't get in to find clues about pigeons, but he can achieve his goal through other methods. Even if it is a big family, you have to eat, drink, and defecate?
For so many people, you have to transport food and water, right?
For so many people, you have to take out the feces and slap them?
Yu Longyun found his friends, first had a meal and had a meal, then he made friends with the servants who delivered food and water, took out feces and dumped the dung, and then screened out more than 20 extremely suspicious families. Qiao Zhuang entered the more than a dozen families to investigate and visit them, and finally confirmed that sixteen of them had pigeons!

Pang Ji was nominally a businessman from Daliang, but in fact he was the commander of Xianyang of Ebony Cliff. The ebony dead soldiers lurking in Guanzhong in Ebony Cliff and the detailed intelligence work of Ebony Cliff were all under his leadership. Only Pang Ji was able to contact the Ebony Cliff headquarters in Ziling. All the previous news about Guanzhong was sent by him.
That day, Pang Ji came back from work and entered through the small door behind the yard as usual. However, he saw a few pools of manure stains under the eaves. He found a slave in the backyard who was responsible for cleaning up human and animal feces. He pointed to the manure stains on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
"If you are going to the master, I've been here today." The slaves in my hometown are locals in Xianyang. In fact, most of the slaves in the entire compound are locals in Xianyang. This is also to cover up the news. Otherwise, the slaves in your entire courtyard are from Liangdi or from other places, which is easy to arouse suspicion.
"Have you been here?" Pang Ji frowned, "Isn't it not until the end of the month?"
The slave from the hometown said, "I don't know this slave, maybe it was early?"
Pang Ji waved his hand to send away his slaves, and always felt something was wrong. He had been engaged in intelligence work on Ebony Cliff for many years, which made him extremely suspicious. He hurried into the backyard. Compared to the front yard, not everyone could enter the backyard. In the corner of the backyard, Pang Ji saw the pigeon dung piled there and had not been taken away yet, so he felt a little relieved.
Pang Ji waved his hand, and a black shadow walked out of the corner and bowed to Pang Ji.
Pang Ji nodded gently and said in a deep voice: "There are no idle people waiting to come in in this backyard, right?"
The black shadow said without hesitation: "Report to the commander, no idle people have been waiting in the backyard."
Pang Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was still a little worried. His suspicious personality made him think more when facing any clues. The secret identity of the commander of the Ebony Cliff made him develop a cautious personality. After thinking about it, he decided to transfer it. Regardless of whether it was exposed or not, the courtyard could no longer be stayed in.

Chen Ping was also a little surprised. He never expected that after just one day, he found out that sixteen major households in Xianyang City and around him had freed pigeons! As early as more than ten years ago, the King of Han had strictly ordered that the people would not raise pigeons. The purpose was to prevent spies from spreading messages. What does it mean now that these sixteen families raise pigeons against the wind?
"What's your name?" Chen Ping looked at Yu Longyun, and his eyes showed an unconcealed look of appreciation.
Yu Longyun bent his back a little further and said with a smile: "Report to the Grand Master, the villain's surname is Yu Xingsi, and his name is Longyun."
"Yu Longyun? A good name, a bit of momentum!" Chen Ping smiled slightly and said, "From today on, you will be the Falcon Commander of the Black Ice Platform. All the eagles are dispatched and commanded by you, and of course, they will also be trained by you."
"Ah?" Yu Longyun was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Grand Master."
Chen Ping waved his hand and ordered Yu Longyun to say, "Take two dead soldiers in the village, and then go and catch people!"
"Yeah!" Yu Longyun responded with a loud bang and went there in a hurry. He liked the matter of raiding the family!
When Long Yun left, Chen Ping summoned the Iron Sword Commander Shusun Shang and ordered: "Shusun Shang, bring three other teams of Iron Sword Dead Soldiers to completely block the important water and land routes leading to the outside world from Xianyang City and Kinki. Whether it is the honorary, nobles, nobles, or officials, they must be strictly investigated. Once a carrier pigeon is found, you can capture it on the spot!"
"Here!" Uncle Sun Shang replied with a loud bang and took the order.
Watching the figure of Uncle Sun Shang go away, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on the corner of Chen Ping's mouth.
Chen Ping asked Yu Longyun to arrest pigeon-raising families, but his purpose was not so simple. Chen Ping's real purpose was to alert the snake, draw out the hidden deep intelligence, force them to move, and then, the iron sword dead soldiers who were ambushing the important waters and land roads can catch them all in one go!
