Chapter 1580 Prevention
There is a big house in the east of Lintong County. The big house covers an area of ​​five acres, with high walls and a deep courtyard. The gate is usually closed and does not communicate with neighbors, but the neighbors know that the big house is rented by a businessman. Usually, the businessman is rarely at home. Part of the time is empty.

But the neighbors didn't know that this mansion also had a back door, which led out from a separate alley, leading to the street.

At night, several men in black quickly walked into the alley at the back door, and entered the mansion directly from the back door. In front of the steps in the back yard, several men in black knelt down and saluted, "My lord, the emperor of Yongchao is closely guarded. Let's do it!"

Standing on the steps was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, short in stature, with a square face and extremely thick eyebrows. He was the third member of the Genji family in Japan, Minamoto Yoshi. Goryeo's lieutenant vanguard.

Minamoto Yoshi is responsible for training the Minamoto family generals. After ten years of hard training, he has trained a team of dead soldiers with high martial arts skills. About 50 people. The dead men sneaked into Jingzhao, assassinated the emperor of the Yong Dynasty, and caused chaos in the Yong Dynasty, preparing for the Japanese army to land on Goryeo.

Occupying Koryo was a unanimous decision of Japan. Regardless of factions or conflicts, the opinions on the invasion of Koryo were highly unified. The Japanese nobles were also worried that the Yong Dynasty would send troops to interfere. The only way was to create civil strife in Yong. It will cause great chaos in the Yong Kingdom, and the successor will be unable to take into account the Koryo Kingdom for the first time.

Assassination and assassination have always been the traditional culture of the Japanese, so that a secret assassination organization such as the ninja was born, and the assassination of the Emperor Yong Dynasty became the consensus of high-level Japanese officials.

Yuan Benyi's face darkened, and he said coldly: "In the past two days, the emperor of the Yong Dynasty went out to inspect the flood every day, so there is no chance yet?"

"Returning to my lord, it is true that the emperor of the Yong Dynasty inspected the flood, but there were inner guards blocking it outside. No one was allowed to come within [-] paces. Many people were not allowed to approach and talk. There were guards holding high shields inside. Chance."

"Useless idiot!"

Yuanben cursed out of righteousness, "Get out!"

Several subordinates quickly retreated.

At this time, a scribe stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, don't be too anxious, because the opponent must have tight defenses after the assassination just now. If you are too hasty, you will easily be caught by the opponent's inner guard."

The scribe is called Wuan Qingyuan, a retainer of the Yuan family, proficient in Chinese, he is in charge of external relations, and is also the counselor of Yuan Benyi.

Yuan Benyi sighed and said: "We all know that Yong State has sent troops, but the news can't get out, how can I not be so anxious?"

Japan did not establish its own information transmission channel in the Yong Dynasty, but used the intelligence channels of Li Zhen and Goryeo to pass the news on their behalf. Therefore, when Li Zhen was arrested and the Goryeo intelligence network was completely destroyed, the news of the Japanese intelligence spies could not be transmitted. out.

Either go to Quanzhou, take a merchant ship to Japan, and deliver information, but since this year, there have been no trade ships to Japan.

Therefore, a lot of extremely important information could not be passed on, and Yuan Benyi was very anxious and helpless.

Wu An Qingyuan pondered for a while and said: "There is no chance, so I should find a way to find an opportunity. I will go and discuss with Yihe-kun and see if they have any solutions. After all, they understand the situation better."

"Yes! Report to me anytime."

Japan has been collecting in the Central Plains since the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, their intelligence base was in Bianliang, Tokyo. After the Northern Song Dynasty fell, Japan’s intelligence agencies were also divided into two, with one part retreating to Luoyang and the other retreating to Lin’an.

About five years ago, Luoyang's intelligence agency moved to Jingzhao, but there was still one point left in Luoyang, which was the three foreign students who were arrested by the inner guard before.

It's just that they used a single line to communicate, and the three Japanese students in Luoyang did not know any information from the intelligence agency.

Japan's intelligence agencies are relatively low-key in Jingzhao, not as ostentatious as Koryo, and very covert.

The head of intelligence is called Iga Tetsuya, a big Japanese businessman who also assisted the then Yongguo to buy a large amount of silver from Japan, so the relationship with the Yongguo Trade Supervisor is very good.

In fact, this is because Yongguo did not understand the national conditions of Japan. Iga Tetsu was also sent by the Japanese imperial court, but he bought silver from various local vassal states. This did not affect the interests of the imperial court. On the contrary, the Japanese imperial court also used the silver trade Obtained a lot of armor.

There are also differences between the Japanese intelligence agencies and the Koryo intelligence agencies. The Korean intelligence agencies tried their best to obtain the advanced military technology of the Yong State, while the Japanese intelligence agencies tried their best to obtain the pig iron and bow and arrow armor of the Yong State.

The Japanese Chamber of Commerce is located in Xuanyangfang, close to Dongdawazi. It is a building covering an area of ​​three acres and two courtyards. The Chamber of Commerce is a meeting place and an inn, serving Japanese businessmen.
Iga Tetsuya is the founder of this chamber of commerce. His business industry is also in the chamber of commerce. He is mainly engaged in import and export trade. He will transport copper ingots, pearls, ambergris, and precious shells from Japan, and then export porcelain to Japan , silk, tea, rouge, face powder and other things, these are high-end products sought after by the Japanese upper class.

Of course, he will also apply to the Trade Supervisor for the export of old weapons and armor. Once approved, he will get silver from Japan to trade. According to the rules of the Yong Kingdom, the export of old weapons and armor can only be exchanged for silver.

His behavior is completely compliant and legal, but he will also collect the "Beijing News" at the same time, and transport the old "Beijing News" in bundles to Japan, and Japan will extract information from them.

So in the past five years, his low-key and legal business activities have not been noticed by the inner guards at all. How could the inner guards have never imagined that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce is actually a Japanese intelligence agency?
In fact, there are only two intelligence spies of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, one is Iga Tetsuya, and the other is his deputy Kobayashi Tokuhiro. The other dozen or so guys are doing business normally, and none of his subordinates know that he is actually a Japanese national. intelligence spies.

Wu'an Qingyuan found Wu'an Qingyuan, and in the inner hall, Yihezhe also drank tea and said: "The assassin you sent should have committed suicide, otherwise you would have been arrested long ago. I heard that Hu Zhen is also dead, so you should have nothing to worry about." .”

Wu'an Qingyuan smiled wryly and said: "It's not a question of whether it will be found, but to complete the task. My master is in a hurry. Japan has sent troops to Goryeo, and the Yong army has also sent troops. As long as the Yong Dynasty is in chaos, we will have a chance .”

"There is no way!"

Iga Tetsu also shook his head without hesitation, "If you failed the assassination, you won't have a second chance in a short time. If you want to force the assassination, you will definitely be caught. The internal guards are very powerful. They must I am strictly searching you, that Hu town, I think there are hidden dangers, I suggest you move."

"Don't worry Hu Zhen. I always meet him in restaurants. He doesn't even know my name, but he knows the name of the lord. What's the use of that?"

"It's still useful, at least if you know that the assassin is Japanese, then they will monitor the Japanese chamber of commerce, so you shouldn't come looking for me."

Wu An Qingyuan's expression changed, "Will I be caught by them?"

"You're an unfamiliar face, and they're sure to stare at you."

"so what should I do now?"

Yihe Zhe also took out a bag, "Here is your set of materials. You just came to Jingzhao from Lin'an to do business. You have been to Lin'an!"

Wu An Qingyuan nodded, "And then?"

"Then you go to the inn in front of us to open a room, use the set of identity information I gave you, and then go out to the medicinal material market to inquire about prices. You are a medicinal material merchant, understand? Don't go back to Lintong for the next two days , I will find an opportunity to inform you, and the inner guard's suspicion must be dispelled."

"I understand. Then you think about how to complete the mission. The situation is critical and the lives of 10,000+ soldiers are at stake."

"I will consider!"

Yihezhe also went to the yard and shouted, and one of his subordinates ran over, and Yihezhe also ordered: "This Lord Wu'an just came from Lin'an, arrange a room for him."

"Mr. Wu An please!"

His subordinates took Wu'an Qingyuan to the inn ahead.

On the second floor of the restaurant opposite the chamber of commerce, two internal guards watched every move of the chamber of commerce in Japan. They found a stranger entering the chamber of commerce and immediately became vigilant.
