Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth time is running out
The people responsible for chasing Ziyun came back soon. They searched all the shops in the area, but no one had seen Ziyun. After she left the gate of Shangshu Mansion, she seemed to disappear out of thin air.
, no one knows where she went.
"Whether you can find her or not is no longer the point. The point is that you think about it carefully. What important things do you have here that are worthy of their well-intentioned design of such a big show?"
Zhang Guowei pondered for a moment: "If it is an important thing, the most important thing in my house is probably the city defense map. But Lord Ling, don't worry, I have moved it immediately after the theft happened..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ling Yiqu's expression getting even uglier. He didn't look relieved at all. "So that's it, I understand... I'll first arouse your vigilance with a huge theft case."
, then you will naturally know where you put the city defense map..."
When Zhang Guowei heard what he said, his expression changed. He walked quickly towards the yard where the old lady was: "There is a wooden house here that has been abandoned for a long time. The servants usually pile up debris here, and no one will notice it.
here……"
Before he finished speaking, he himself was stunned. A small opening had been removed from the place where the debris was originally stored. Zhang Guowei knew very well that he had set up a hidden compartment there and placed the city defense map inside.
Ling Yiqu could guess what was going on by looking at his expression. He closed his eyes in despair: "After a thief enters the house, a person's first reaction is to see if his most important thing is still there.
.They just took advantage of your thoughts and successfully took away what they wanted."
"Who wants to take away the city defense map? Isn't the thief's purpose just for money?" Zhang Guowei's voice had an obvious tremor. What else could be the purpose of taking this thing away? Everyone knows this purpose very well.
"I will go to the palace immediately to tell His Majesty the situation here, and ask him to decide what should be done." Ling Yiqu made a decision immediately and prepared to enter the palace immediately to explain the current situation to Lin Chong.
Zhang Guowei grabbed him before he had walked a few steps: "It's not appropriate to do this."
Ling Yiqu frowned: "Isn't Mr. Zhang worried that he will bear a big responsibility if His Majesty finds out about this matter?"
Zhang Guowei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What time has it been now? How can I still have the mood to worry about this? Besides, am I such a person who cannot bear responsibility? But the most important thing now is that since Ziyun has run away,
That means the other party probably already knows what we found."
So they still alerted the snake, Ling Yiqu smashed the table hard. Zhang Guowei is a person who has experienced big things after all, and is much calmer than him when encountering such things: "Now is not the time to be angry or blame yourself, we
We must take advantage of the opportunity we have now and find a way to solve the dilemma His Majesty is about to face."
"Then what should we do now?" Ling Yiqu was moved by his emotions and slowly calmed down.
"Although the other party has taken away the city defense map, it does not mean that they have 100% grasp of all the situations. Maybe they already know the layout of Nanjing, but their current goal should be the palace."
"I specifically reminded His Majesty a few days ago to be careful of the guards in the palace. Although he usually seems not to care about these things at all, he should still be able to listen to these words." Ling Yiqu analyzed, whether it was out of caution or not.
According to the principle, Mu Xi and the others will continue to improve the guards in the palace.
"In this way, even if he can grasp the original guard situation of the Forbidden City, it does not mean that he can figure out the layout of Yingtian Mansion. So we still have time now. He has spotted that the Third Battalion and Wu Sangui are stationed outside the city.
"That's why he did such a treasonous thing so blatantly!" Zhang Guowei's tone was serious, so the most important thing now was to send someone out to inform them.
"Without further delay, let's stay and intercept Ziyun, send people in disguise, and leave the city immediately!" Ling Yiqu made a decision immediately. The most important thing now is the opportunity. We must not let the girl named Ziyun slip out and report the news.
At the same time, Wei Changqing finally figured out the problem that had been bothering him, and he excitedly went to share his answer with Lin Chong. Lin Chong had just finished eating and had a rare moment of leisure, but he was rushed in by this hurried man.
Someone interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I must tell you about this right away!" Wei Changqing came up to him enthusiastically and took a few pieces of pastries that had just been served from the imperial kitchen.
Lin Chong acquiesced to this approach. After he ate it, he stared at him silently for a while, then slowly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth: "Since you are not dead yet, I can rest assured.
have eaten."
Wei Changqing's eyes widened. Did he regard himself as a victim of a poison test?
"Don't you tell me something important?" Lin Chong glared at him weakly. He didn't know how many days in a row he had not had a good rest, and it was really frustrating to have to be interrupted for such a small amount of afternoon tea.
People are hot.
"I used to feel very strange why this thief's style has become so big before and after. It doesn't feel like it was done by one person. Coupled with what they said before about the internal affairs of Shangshu Mansion, I
I also find it very strange.”
"Let's not talk about the different styles of the two for the time being. You want to talk about what's wrong with the internal response? Do you think the disappearance of the child is not the most critical point?" Lin Chong raised his eyebrows.
"I knew your Majesty must have thought of this too!" Wei Changqing was excited. He asked how his Majesty could so easily agree with Guan Qu, a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs.
"If this kid sweeping the floor is really an insider, then he must think of a surefire way to enter the Shangshu Mansion. This should have been the step that required the most careful planning, but now it seems that they did it casually
Very.”
"How can we ensure that he can truly enter the Shangshu Mansion? What if his pitiful appearance is not discovered by others? What if even if he is discovered by others, no one has thought of keeping him? All of these are
It's beyond the control of the other party." Wei Changqing walked around excitedly.
"I know what you want to say. What you mean is that this child going in to be an internal agent is just a pretense. There is someone else who is the real internal agent, right?" Lin Chong raised his head and looked at him.
"Yes, there must be someone who can definitely keep him, then this step can become controllable. This in itself shows that the existence of this child is irrelevant, just to attract our attention. Damn it
, this guy is really good at making false claims in the east and attacking in the west!"
"The fact that they spent so much energy in Shangshu Mansion must mean that there is something they really covet. What do you think it could be?" Wei Changqing's tone slowly cooled down.
Lin Chong's hand holding the tea cup paused. He really hadn't thought about it in this direction before. It seemed that the other party had put in so much effort, and it must not be as simple as stealing one or two things.
"The most important thing in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, what else can it do without the military talisman? If something as important as the military talisman is lost, it should be discovered immediately."
Wei Changqing shook his head: "It must not be the military talisman. Even if he takes the military talisman, it is impossible to mobilize the troops to do anything immediately. He is not so capable."
Lin Chong chuckled: "So the result is not obvious, what he wants is a city defense map!"
