The first thousand six hundred and ninety-five chapters came to a number three in Yangzhou city
(Thank you very much to "book friend 38965322" for your encouragement and support.)
On the day when Da'an was founded, His Majesty the Emperor designated this day as National Day, which means that this day has become the most lively time of the year in Da'an.
There has been no major breakthrough in the assassination case in front of the Imperial City Square on the evening before National Day that shocked the whole country, so everyone in the Security Office was in a bad mood, especially Shen Guoer who was extremely angry in the center during this half day.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the entire Ping An Mansion to take long vacations like other yamen to travel and shop.
"Sir, the first time these three assassins appeared in Danyang County, there were a total of forty-seven people who came into contact with them, but now fifteen of the forty-seven people are confirmed to be dead, and the others have Missing."
"In addition, those three grenades were not produced by the Fanyang County weapons production base."
"However, I have already checked with people from the Weapons Research Department of the Gewu Research Institute. The grenade fragments are different from the grenade fragments of our Da'an country. They are obviously rougher and made of pig iron." Ping An Mansion Yamen Courtyard Deep down, Huo Huaiming, the chief officer of the Intelligence Department, said to Shen Guoer, who was sitting in the chief seat, with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Shen Guoer's face was also extremely solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "Someone can not only make muskets, but also hand grenades. Then he can make explosive bags, landmines and other gunpowder weapons. This matter is no small matter... …”
When the others heard this, their expressions were also solemn. Everyone knew that an important factor in the invincibility of Da'an's ten legions was the possession of powerful gunpowder weapons. If this advantage no longer existed, or the enemy also had the same gunpowder weapons, then The military's combat advantage will be greatly reduced.
Huo Huaiming thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Tang Dynasty that Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has established a weapons and equipment production base in a valley somewhere in the Qinling Mountains south of Chang'an City."
Shen Guo'er's eyes flashed and she said, "Li Shimin did this before when Li Yuan was still alive, but the things they imitated were all copycat versions in His Majesty's words, not worth mentioning."
Huo Huaiming said solemnly: "Sir, this time is different from before. The place is very mysterious. Emperor Tang sent a hundred thousand troops to garrison, and a mysterious figure was responsible for it. It is difficult for our people to sneak into it, and we can't even get close. .”
"There is such a thing." When Shen Guoer heard this, he was shocked and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not a trivial matter. We have sent out all the capable spies and experts to investigate this matter. We must find out the secret of Tang State's weapons and equipment production base. Find out if the grenade came from that place."
Huo Huaiming respectfully said yes and immediately arranged the matter.
Soon, a large number of capable personnel and experts from the Da'an National Security Bureau secretly sneaked into the Tang Dynasty.

Although an assassination occurred in the Imperial City Square in the evening, it did not affect the world of lights and fireworks in Yangzhou City tonight.
Even after dark, people still set off firecrackers and fireworks from time to time in Yangzhou City, which is as lively and festive as the Chinese New Year. The streets are always crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and being extremely lively.
Although Yangzhou City is still far behind Luoyang City, where "hundreds of houses are like a chess game, and twelve streets are like vegetable gardens," the prosperity of Yangzhou City has far surpassed that of other big cities in the world, especially Yangzhou City's commerce is extremely developed. , is the world's commercial and trade center, and because the capital of the Da'an Kingdom is temporarily located here, Yangzhou City has become the commercial center of the world today.
It was the first National Day of Da'an, and the lights on the city wall were like the brilliant Milky Way, extremely gorgeous. Fireworks that were thousands of times more numerous rose into the sky from the top of the city from time to time, and countless lights bloomed in the night sky.
The clouds turned red.
This is the first time Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu have seen such a scene since they came to this era.
Under the city wall, there is a huge crowd in the city. In order to watch the lanterns, large families often go out at the same time. Children hold various small lanterns in their hands and walk happily in front. Everyone is trudging through the crowd, and there are many people around.
Yongyong, if a foreigner comes to Yangzhou City for the first time, it is easy to get lost in the sea of people.
Wang Junlin knows how important it is for the people of a country to identify with the imperial court. In order to enhance the cohesion of Da'an from top to bottom, it is very important to attach great importance to National Day and use the National Day to do something.
Therefore, according to the notice of the Ministry of Rites of the State of Da'an, lanterns must be put on for five days in all counties and cities across the country, and lanterns must be put on for three days in ordinary counties.
Mountains of lanterns and lantern sheds made up of colored lanterns stand in the streets of Yangzhou City. They are shining with gold and green, and they are made by rich merchants and guilds in the city. They compete with each other.
High and low, the whole city of Yangzhou is like a dream.

No. 3 looked around, but a lonely indifference surged into his heart.
The noisy streets, jubilant crowds, and innocent smiles of children all describe the peace and happiness here. This is so rare and precious for the people of the world who have been in constant war since the late Sui Dynasty and are living in dire straits.
But No. 3 will not feel the slightest emotion about this kind of thing, let alone see these scenes, which will affect his mission to Yangzhou.
The number of people in the hidden killing sect established by No. 1 before has always been very small, never more than the number of hands. Including No. 1, the king of killers, there are only nine people, but each one of them is actually a super killer carefully trained by No. 1.
In recent years, as his energy is almost exhausted, the No. 1 Killer King has been planning his own survival, and he has done less to hide and kill.
In addition, he was tortured by the previous Spring and Autumn Messenger and Wang Junlin.
After several attempts, several people were killed, and the hidden killers were left with only five super killers.
However, in the past six months, the Hidden Killing Sect has recruited nine more people, and each super killer has been assigned 300 of their carefully trained killers.
And this No. 3 is the person responsible for the Hidden Killing Sect when the King of Killers No. 1 usually doesn't care about the Hidden Killing Sect.
No. 3 brought some of his subordinates to Yangzhou City, and for the first assassination attempt, he sent people to assassinate Wang Junlin, the emperor of the Da'an Kingdom. Unfortunately, he was destroyed by the legendary No. 2.
In fact, No. 3 had already anticipated this, and he did not regret alerting the enemy, because he would always feel unwilling to do so if he did not give it a try. Now that he has tried it, he will adjust his plan later.
For example, as long as No. 2 is around the Emperor of Da'an, No. 3 will never take any assassination action.
Before coming, the sect master and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave No. 3 a list of assassinations and even arranged the order of assassinations.
It goes without saying that the emperor of Da'an Kingdom is coming. In addition, the first person on the list is Shen Guo'er, the commander-in-chief of Guo'an Prefecture of Da'an Kingdom.
The end of the street where No. 3 is now is where the Guoanfu Yamen is. Since the fireworks ceremony, No. 3 has changed seven identities and wandered this street until now.
Finally, No. 3 saw a carriage, escorted by a hundred black-armored knights, walking out of the Guoan Mansion Yamen.
Anyone with some status in Yangzhou City knows that the person in the carriage is the commander of the National Security Mansion who is known as the witch.
The reputation of the Guoan Mansion has long been spread, and even among the common people, it is the imperial government office that they fear the most.
Therefore, even though the streets are very lively and the people are almost crowded, there are still many people who instinctively avoid this motorcade and stay as far away as possible.
However, even so, the streets were bustling with people, and the carriage slowed down as soon as it entered the lantern market, and was often blocked in the middle.
On the one hand, this is because many people still don't know that this is the carriage of Shen Guoer, the commander-in-chief of the National Security Bureau.
On the other hand, because of the importance Wang Junlin has always shown to the people and the unselfishness of the Inspectorate headed by Wei Zheng, no one in Da'an dared to drive away the celebrating people, even the car battle between the two prime ministers' offices today. It won't be too late.
But No. 3 just glanced at the carriage and already knew that Shen Guoer, the commander of the National Security Bureau, was not in the carriage tonight. There was only a woman with a very similar figure to Shen Guoer in the carriage.
No. 3's eyes were like lightning, scanning the nearby crowd, and soon found a woman wearing a man's green robe and a curtain hat in the crowd. A piece of gauze hung from the hat, covering her front face, but she could still get close to her. I could vaguely see the scene inside the gauze; unexpectedly, there was a scarf covering most of my face under the gauze.
Although the lights were gorgeous, the light was still not as bright as during the day. It was very hazy, and only a pair of cold and deep eyes could be vaguely seen, indicating that the owner of the eyes was not as weak as an ordinary woman.
Number 3 thought to himself that this number one prey looked interesting and cautious, and killing him would give him a sense of accomplishment.
Thinking like this, No. 3 followed without leaving any trace, and soon he made some discoveries.
No. 3 discovered that Shen Guoer seemed to be alone, but in fact, there were at least twenty masters nearby to protect him, including three masters who had broken through the martial arts period.
However, Shen Guoer and the more than 20 experts never seemed to notice No. 3 who was secretly following them.
However, when No. 3 secretly followed Shen Guoer and his entourage through an intersection, something strange happened.
First, when No. 3 passed by a dried fruit stall on the roadside, the vendor who he had passed by and had a look at suddenly pulled out a half-foot-long knife from nowhere and slashed at No. 3 like lightning. His head is as fast as lightning, and he is clearly a master who has broken through the martial arts period.
At the same time, from all directions at the intersection, more than a dozen masters rushed toward No. 3.
Almost a moment slower than these dozen masters, the twenty-odd masters who had secretly escorted Shen Guoer also rushed towards this side.
No. 3 was shocked, but he could no longer think about how he was exposed. He retreated into the shadow of a corner like smoke, dodging the attacks of most of the masters. At the same time, a thin sword appeared in his hand and knocked out the six masters. One by one, the whole person was like a snake, sliding up the wall quickly, and before the second wave of attacks arrived, he actually jumped over the high wall before his eyes.
However, at this moment, Shen Guoer, who appeared in a brothel on the roadside at some unknown time, casually fired a shot.
No. 3 felt a crisis enveloped him, and his body suddenly became much faster, and he was about to slide down the city like an electric snake.
However, although No. 3's movement Qinggong is as fast as light smoke and like a ghost when used with full strength, the shot fired by Shen Guoer at such a short distance is as if it teleports. As soon as the bullet is fired, Already arrived in front of No. 3.
Therefore, when No. 3's figure floated down the wall at an extremely fast speed, like light smoke, his body had already stopped suddenly, and then there were blood sprays flying from his shoulders.
This shot ultimately injured No. 3, but it also allowed No. 3 to climb over the wall.
And with the light kung fu skills shown by the latter, he will definitely be able to escape quickly through the high wall. And there are more than 600,000 people in Yangzhou City. It is really difficult to find No. 3.
Because as long as No. 3 gets out of their sight, he can transform into another person in a short period of time. With his superb disguise skills, he can hide in Yangzhou City, which has a population of 600,000. Even if Wang Junlin issued a special order to The city gates of Yangzhou were closed for a month, and the whole city was searched.
Finding No. 3 is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The dozens of masters sent by Shen Guoer had rich fighting experience, but he thought of this in an instant. He was so anxious that he couldn't bear to put wings on his body, and instantly climbed over the high wall and pounced on them.
Naturally, No. 3 also thought of this, so even though he suffered a gunshot wound on his shoulder, he felt a slight sigh of relief in his heart as he floated up to the ten-foot-high wall next to him as quickly as smoke.
However, at this moment, on the other side of the wall, facing No. 3, a young swordsman with a burly figure and a ferocious face, who looked like an iron tower, appeared.
A young man who looked a little ferocious, holding an ordinary-looking long sword, moved from bottom to top, the sword and man merged into one, and stabbed straight into No. 3's chest. The tip of the sword instantly reached an inch in front of No. 3's heart.
No. 3, who had just managed to escape alive, suddenly changed his expression in front of the sword that suddenly appeared. He stared at the young swordsman who was not moving forward. In an instant, his physical skills were at their peak. It was like a ghost drifting along the low wall to the left at an extremely fast speed.
However, no matter how No. 3 dodges or how fast the speed is, the tip of the sword is always an inch away from No. 3's heart. The young swordsman and the sword in his hand seem to be connected to No. 3 by an invisible line, moving as No. 3 moves.
This young swordsman is none other than Li Xuanba, the chief general of Da'an's Violent Bear Legion and one of the two direct disciples of National Master Nie Xiaoyu.
Li Xuanba was invited by Nie Xiaoyu before. He heard that this guy could fight and might be a very powerful master. He agreed to Shen Guoer's request without asking about the specific matter, and obediently followed Shen Guoer's request. Guoer's instructions are hidden behind this wall.
If Wang Jun were here, he would definitely be extremely envious and even jealous of Li Xuanba. What Li Xuanba was using at this time was exactly the precise locking technique taught by Shen Guoer, which can only be performed at a very high level. And this This is exactly the prerequisite for achieving success in the divine calculation sword technique that Nie Xiaoyu talked about.
In other words, Li Xuanba, a seemingly silly guy, has already discovered the art of divine calculation and swordsmanship, and he is worthy of being Nie Xiaoyu's direct disciple.
I just don’t know how strong Luo Shixin, another direct disciple of Nie Xiaoyu and the commander of the Tornado Legion stationed in Hedong, is now.
In one breath, No. 3 and Li Xuanba moved nearly ten feet on the low wall. The whole process was silent, but the consumption of their spirit, will and internal energy in this breath was extremely terrifying, and their faces were all pale. Already extremely pale.
However, Li Xuanba's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, even shining like stars, but there was an extremely rare fear in No. 3's eyes, which was the fear of life and death.
On the other side of the high wall, dozens of experts from the Security Bureau sent by Shen Guoer have arrived. If No. 3 does not escape, he will have no chance in the future. He will either be killed on the spot or captured alive.
In the room of lightning and flint, No. 3 kept flying at high speed while screaming, spitting out a thin needle from his mouth, like a very thin electric light, hitting the tip of Li Xuanba's sword, which was an inch away from his heart.
The place where this fine needle struck was extremely mysterious, and immediately the sword intention on the tip of Li Xuanba's sword had subtle gaps and ambiguity.
Taking advantage of this moment, the rapier in No. 3's hand finally had a chance to take action. It stabbed out instantly and hit Li Xuanba's sword tip, while No. 3 himself retreated desperately.
Ding!
As Li Xuanba let out a long roar, his face instantly turned pale and bloodless, and his mouth was bleeding. However, the sword tip was full of sword intent, and the force of the sword in his hand remained unchanged, and his body shape was harmonious. The sword in his hand did not retreat, but in an instant it turned into a crossbow and shot No. 3 directly.
A flash of determination flashed in No. 3's eyes, and the rapier in his hand and the arm holding the sword were shot out like lightning, facing Li Xuanba.
However, his body was retreating rapidly, and the distance between him and Li Xuanba continued to widen.
That's right, No. 3's right arm was completely severed from the previous gunshot wound on his upper arm.
Moreover, the severed arm and the thin sword suddenly exploded when they came into contact with Li Xuanba's long sword. Countless flesh, bones, and broken sword fragments were shot out in all directions like bullets.
Li Xuanba's expression changed, and the long sword in his hand quickly danced into a sword rain, with a rapid "ding, clang, clank" sound, blocking all the flesh, bones, and broken sword fragments.
However, due to this delay, No. 3, who had lost his arm, had disappeared through the shadows in the darkness.
At this time, dozens of experts from the Security Bureau sent by Shen Guoer climbed over the wall and came.
After a while, Shen Guoer, surrounded by a large group of people for protection, rushed over in person. She just looked at the blood and flesh left on the right arm of No. 3's explosion, and her face was extremely ugly.
Shen Guoer had a lot of secret arrangements in the Guoan Mansion. After discovering that there was a master nearby targeting the Guoan Mansion, Shen Guoer did not act easily, especially after guessing that the other party might want to assassinate her, he immediately and decisively set up this Bureau.
Having used so many masters, and even invited Li Xuanba, a fighting madman, I thought that it was a sure thing, and they would even be able to capture the opponent alive.
In the end, the other party was only seriously injured and escaped, and even Li Xuanba was slightly injured.
This result was beyond Shen Guoer's expectations, and it also allowed her to gain a higher and more accurate judgment on the strength of the enemy in the dark.
