Li Bi suddenly asked: "I give you such a great authority, what should you do if you fail to escape?"

"There is no guarantee." Zhang Xiaojing replied without hesitation, "The person is chosen by you, the road is chosen by me, we all have to be responsible for our choice."

This is the end of the conversation. Li Mi shook the bell on the case and called two maids. They took Zhang Xiaojing to the nearby box, let him take off the gray prisoner's clothes, and changed a set of small jackets and brown cotton hakama for easy movement. After tidying up, Li Bi personally took Zhang Xiaojing to Jing'an's hall.

This is the center of the entire Jing'an Division. It gathers elites from various ministries, summarizes military situation of various places, and deduces them. There is a huge warehouse in the box room, which is filled with Changan's files from six departments to two cities, which can be read at any time. Xu Bin was transferred because of his expertise in this area.

What impressed Zhang Xiaojing the most was the watchtower of Jing'an.

Throughout Changan, there are two to three watchtowers in each square, which are used to monitor the fire of robbers on weekdays. Under Li Mi's deployment, Wanglou now has a new function and has a special flag martial arts commander who can communicate with the agreed flag language. Use flags during the day and light and dark lanterns at night.

In this way, the situation seen in any lookout tower in Chang'an City can be quickly transmitted to Jingan Division Central. In the same way, the Jingan Division Center can quickly issue orders to any one.

This set of gadgets was obviously learned from the frontier Feng Sui, but it is more convenient than Feng Sui. Wanglou is only half a mile away from each other, and the military can span the entire Chang'an City in an instant. Zhang Xiaojing can see the practicality of this thing at a glance: This means that no matter where he is in Chang'an, he can keep in touch with Jing'an through the Wanglou, and there is a giant eye overlooking Changan.

However, this watchtower system is extremely expensive, and only a freak like Jing Ansi can afford it.

At this time, Cui Qi was also in the hall, whispering with the maidservant in charge of the sand table. Li Bi shouted his name, and Cui Qi hurried over and knelt on one knee. He had not forgotten that he was a guilty body.

Li Bi calmly said: "Cui Lushuai, the death of Liulang, stems from the carelessness of clearing the field. It is self-imposed and the official is also responsible." Cui Qi suddenly raised his head and hardly believed his ears. As soon as he didn't expect, Brother A's death was due to such a small negligence; second, he didn't expect that the sergeant actually blamed himself for it. Isn't this ... this is the art of buying people's hearts?

Li Bi pouted, but he doesn't have time to play trickery right now, but he is so proud that he disdains others. He pointed to Zhang Xiaojing: "It is this Zhang Duwei who cracked the suspicion. He will succeed your elder brother and track down Wolf Guard."

Cui Qi glanced at Zhang Xiaojing, both grateful and doubtful.

He knew that Zhang Xiaojing was a death row prisoner, and he didn't understand why Li Bi would put the treasure on him. However, soldiers regard obedience as his duty. He performed a military etiquette and said, "I have three hundred brigades under my command. I can walk, and I can reach any place in Chang'an within two minutes-I hope Mr. Zhang Can give me a chance to avenge my enemies and avenge my brother! "

Zhang Xiaojing noticed that he was talking about Mr. Zhang, not Zhang Duwei. The sword that Li Bi gave him seemed not so easy to control.

Time is too tight. The next arrangement was tight and dense. Zhang Xiaojing took note of the Wanglou slogan and some necessary contact methods, and then walked to the big sand table to hear a brief introduction about the Turks.

It is the lady-in-law who holds the moon stick in charge of explanation. When she pushed in front of the sand table, she said that her voice was clear and clear, and she also carried a slight hum. Zhang Xiaojing glanced at her slightly rudely. This girl named Tanqi has a high nose bridge and a pan-hair black hair. It should be Han-Hu mixed blood.

"The point is, how does the Turkic Wolf Guard plan to do it?" Zhang Xiaojing asked.

Tan Qidao: "I don't know yet. The only piece of information comes from Shuofangliu's backyard. A tribal Turkic leader once claimed that the entire Chang'an city will soon become Que Lehuo-do you know what it means?"

Zhang Xiaojing nodded. Que Le is a Turkic noun, similar to the Nine Nether Blood Prison, while Huo Duo means to turn into dust. The whole word is both a curse and a legendary beast. The words "que Lehuduo", even those who do not understand Turkic, can feel the monstrous killing intentions.

Chang'an City is about to become Que Lehuo. This may be an exaggerated rhetoric, or perhaps an analogy of something, no one knows.

Tan Qi knows that the time is urgent and speaks quickly: "... This is a piece of cloth we found in Bing Liu Inn, which outlined half of the outside of Chang'an City. It is likely that Cao Poyan wanted the entire Chang'an Detailed square maps. "

Upon hearing the picture of Chang'an Square, Zhang Xiaojing's two silkworm eyebrows were corrected together. Li Bi noticed that his expression became grim, and asked, "In your opinion, what do the Turks want from this Fangtu? Well, let me ask another way. If Fangtu is in hand, what can they do? "

"Shunqu poisoning, Lianfang arson, taking advantage of night killing, spreading demon tentacles, entering the imperial city ... If it is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it is only necessary to watch the prosperity of lanterns in Chongren Square, Yanshou Square, Xingqing Palace, Qujiangchi If you throw a few coins, you can make a big mess. With the guidance of the square map, they can come and go easily in this Chang'an city, and they are only afraid of doing too much. "

Zhang Xiaojing broke his finger and talked eloquently. Every time he said a word, the people around him looked cold.

Li Mi looked grim, he had estimated the situation seriously enough, but he did not expect to have these incredible and dangerous tricks. After all, the people of Jingan Division are official, and the knowledge in these areas is far less than that of the bad predecessor who is used to ghost tricks.

"In your opinion, if you can't make a public search, how should you proceed?" Li Bi asked.

Zhang Xiaojing replied: "Private possession of the imperial city square map is a major crime to be decapitated. Except for the official residence, most people will not have it. Since Cao Poyan cannot obtain it from Cui Liulang, he will either steal it from the imperial city or ... His eyes moved to the sand table, his body moved towards Tanqi, almost touching her shoulder: "Wanglou saw Cao Poyan the last time, where is it?"

Tan Qi was a little surprised by his boldness, and hesitated before answering: "Cao Poyan is too fast to turn over the water gate, and the watchtower is too late to monitor. However, according to our speculation, he may be ashore in Yanshoufang and Buzhengfang. This Both places are prosperous places, which is good for hiding. We have sent people to search. "

Zhang Xiaojing said: "I guess he won't go far, and eventually he has to come back here."

"West City?" Cui Qi was surprised. Li Bi nodded slightly and said in unison with Zhang Xiaojing: "Hu merchant!"

Most of the Hu merchants gathered in West City, and there were many giants with huge net worth. The Changan Square map is very beneficial to the business, and it is not surprising that they secretly collect a copy. Zhang Xiaojing is familiar with their temperament, however, these people are inherently profit-seeking, and have the courage to be bigger than the camel.

After Cui Liulang was exposed, Cao Poyan didn't dare to contact the Tang people. If he wants to get the Fangtu in the shortest time, he has no choice but to play the idea of ​​Hu Ren.

"But do you know which businessman to look for?" Li Mi asked frowning. There are too many Hu merchants in Xishi, and it is impossible to check them one by one.

Zhang Xiaojing squeezed his fist and replied lightly: "When it's very special, it has its own special method." Li Bi was slightly nervous, but he swallowed it to his mouth.

This guy said "unusual law", I am afraid that it will be some unconscionable means. But now there is no time to talk about criminal law and conscience. The corner of the temple is leaking copper, and the water is still hitting the hour cylinder drop by drop. Each drop may mean the loss of hundreds of lives.

"Zhang Duwei, the imperial court's national games, and the safety of the people in the city are all entrusted to you." Li Bi swept his sleeves, solemnly clenched his fists in both hands, and looked down. The officials behind him saw it, and they stood up together and arched their hands together.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't return the salute, but dusted the dust in his left eye socket with his hand, and said indifferently: "I'm for the people of Chang'an, and the others don't care. You must be wrong."

Everyone's face suddenly changed, what is this? Although everyone has a grudge against the court in private, how can it be said in a stately manner?

Zhang Xiaojing grinned, turned and walked out of the hall. All the members of the Jingan Division were frightened and looked at Li Mi. Li Mi's face was as usual, whisking on the arm, it seemed to be unintentional.

This guy is hinting to himself that he doesn't want any control.

At the door, Cui Qi has prepared a complete set of equipment: refining barrier knife, close-fitting soft armor, smoke pill, tendon rope, etc., and a crossbow. Zhang Xiaojing draped these things skillfully, crouched down again, and tied the trousers tightly with two pieces of twine. After wearing it properly, a fierce killing came.

Zhang Xiaojing picked up the hand crossbow, repeatedly pulled the empty string, and listened to his ear again. He said to Cui Qi: "Tear down the mountain, and tighten the hook two more points." Cui Qi stunned, looking at the mountain. It is used for auxiliary aiming, which is more cumbersome. People with quasi-heads do not like to install. The hook center adjusts the speed of the crossbow arrows. The faster the power, the greater the power, but the quasi-head is not easy to control-it seems that this is a master of crossbows.

He quickly took a crossbow arrow to find a craftsman to adjust, Zhang Xiaojing took the opportunity to call Xu Bin aside, lowered his voice and said:

"Trouble Youde, you send someone to the southwest corner of Dunyifang, there is a Wenji incense shop, send a message to the shopkeeper: immediately leave Changan, do not delay for a moment. It is best that you also advise your family to leave the city as soon as possible, absolutely not Go to the lantern festival. "

Xu Bin's eyes widened and he didn't understand his intentions.

Zhang Xiaojing's tone was extremely severe: "I have been in Chang'an City for so many years, and I know more than anyone how fragile this city is. If Li Sicheng's words are true, I estimate—" He said he was hesitant to say that , And then increased the tone:

"This time Chang'an is looting."

Cao Poyan is now standing at the gate of a certain square. At this time he had an additional hat on his head, and if he did not lift it, he could not see his face at all.

At this time, the Fang Gate opened wide, and countless street vendors stalled under the Fang Wall, shouting. A dozen idlers grasped the ends of the thick rope in a vacant place, pulling hooks to play, and there were more than ten times as many people watching. Beside the square gate, stood a bamboo headlight wheel with a height of more than five feet. Each corner of the light wheel is hung with multicolored silk ears, only to raise the candle after dusk.

Cao Poyan pulled down the hat, and walked from the side of Liwei towards the square. The Jing'an Secretary has sent a notice to let Zhufang Liwei pay attention to a Lianhuan person, but he is in a hurry and no picture is attached. The guards were busy cheering for the hook. When they saw that Cao Poyan was not wearing a robe, they didn't even bother to check it, and let it enter.

Cao Poyan walked to a secluded corner near the intersection, took out a small paper roll from his arms, glanced at it, then stopped a running child and asked where Li Ji's bamboo ware was laid. Seeing his fierce appearance, the child quickly said that he was in the house at the end of the back alley.

Cao Poyan followed the instructions, there really was a bamboo workshop, the aisle and the door were filled with lantern shelves and bamboo sticks that had not been pasted, there were luan phoenix, cloud dragon, and various gods and mascots. It seems that the business here is good, and it is still busy on the day of the last yuan.

He knocked on the door, three times long, one short, and then two long. There was a moment of silence in the house, and a thin nose with a deep nose leaned out his head, and a sharpened bamboo knife was carried on his chest.

"Where is the white felt gold tent set in Wang Ting?" He asked suddenly in Turkic.

"The prairie eagle is not afraid of the gusty wind." Cao Poyan lifted the hat and answered in Turkic.

The other party opened a small slit and let him flash inside.
