I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 203 Undercurrent Surges (Part [-])
Shangshufu

Today is the third day since Yuan Yanxi led the army to the border. Chang Renxin ordered his confidants to hurry back to the capital. According to the return of the eyeliner, now, in his opinion, the situation is not good for them, even though there are other secret guards of the Chang family guarding , but the surrounding area of ​​the island is still under the surveillance of Dongchang.Although some ministers have long been colluding with the Chang family in order to cling to the powerful, there is almost no family power to rely on before the overall situation is settled.

Therefore, the confidantes of the Chang family who traveled day and night outside the capital also knew this well. They pulled off their horses harder and harder, and the guards who followed looked at each other, and hurried to the capital with their whips.

What interrupted them was a cluster of extremely bright signal flares, which were particularly dazzling in such a daytime sky. The pupils of the leader's confidant suddenly widened, and without warning, he stopped the horse forcefully.

Several other secret guards of the Chang family also stared at the cluster of smoke in the air that had been lingering for a long time in astonishment, "This is!?"

After the horse stopped, the confidant quickly got off the horse and took a few steps forward.

This is the signal smoke unique to the Chang family, and it will not be confused with other smoke. Several people saw that this extremely dazzling firework was sent from the direction of the distant capital, which proved that the person who sent the signal was indeed His son, Chang Renxin.

Several dark guards looked at each other in blank dismay: "What does this mean?"

At this moment, the confidant who looked at the sky for a long time but did not speak, his eyes have become darker.

It is conceivable that Chang Ren's new signal must be for them to see far outside the city, otherwise there is no need to use such conspicuous smoke to notify, and Chang's signal is divided into five colors from light to heavy. Spread out, is the lightest kind.This shows that what happened is not serious, but the problem is. For something not serious, the young master has to travel thousands of miles to notify them in this way, which is obviously a bit strange.

The other hidden guards also became nervous: "Could it be that something happened to the young master? Then we have to go back as soon as possible!"

But the confidant stared at the sky and refused to move for a long time.

Because the signal smoke cannot speak, or even convey any other obvious meaning, it just tells you whether what happened is urgent or not through the color of the smoke.

He is the guard who has been with the young master for the longest time. The young master must know that after getting the things, he will rush back to the capital day and night without stopping. Therefore, if it is for urging, there is no need to release this smoke.

Then the rest of the meaning is easy to guess, since it was not to urge him, and the smoke was released to indicate that there was no serious situation, it meant the opposite... Let them not rush back.

"Everyone, stop where you are."

The other hidden guards were all surprised, and looked at him inexplicably: "Chang Siwei, what is this?"

Chang Shan's expression sank, and he said after a long time: "Listen to the young master's order, we wait for the order."

In the capital, Chang Renxin sent out a signal, then turned around and went back to the room alone.

The candlestick on his table was on, looking at the solitary lamp, he remembered what the man of the foreign race said.

"Master Chang, when Yuan Yanxi arrives at the border, let him know what it means to go and never return."

"Yuan Yanxi is good at fighting, but they will definitely rush on the road at full speed. When they arrive, they will not have as much energy as them. In addition, many ambushes have been set up along the way. This serious trouble will be eliminated."

Chang Renxin looked at him, and the man continued: "Before Yuan Yanxi has fully reached the border, intercepting and killing the army is a last stand, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated. Before the wall, think of a way to break it with one blow."

Chang Renxin stared at him: "But I think the chance of this plan succeeding is almost impossible."

The man's voice was suppressed: "My lord, the guards and dead men around Yuan Yanxi are very sincere to him. That kid can find out dissident high officials in order to make his way to the top, and he can confront Mr. Chang tit-for-tat. His wisdom must not be inferior to that of an adult. What an adult said As far as the plan can be imagined, Yuan Yanxi may have carefully planned every loophole. So before arriving in Nantong, Yuan Yanxi must have given everyone an order, even if he would rather sacrifice his life for his life, he must go all out."

Chang Renxin gently pinched the bridge of the nose with his fingers, and closed his eyes.

The man also said: "So... when they think it is safer, it is actually the best time for us to attack!"

Simply let the army enter Nantong, capture the thief first, and kill him and his guards. This is the best revenge in the place where they think it is safest.

Chang Renxin looked at the barbarian-looking man in a strange suit in front of him, and a trace of caution flashed in his eyes.

"All fighters are not afraid of death." The man smiled at this time, "But they will also be tired, and their bodies are just ordinary people's bodies after all, especially because of Yuan Yanxi's instructions, they must be exhausted in the first few days and nights before entering Nantong. Be very vigilant, and when they really step into the safe territory, they will definitely relax."

There is a saying in the art of war that only by attacking those who are not prepared can we be invincible in battle.

At this moment, the man seemed to be really smiling: "So now, my lord, you only need to find a way to do one thing, that is... one step ahead of Yuan Yanxi, and let your people enter Nantong."

Nantong has a copper wall and an iron wall, but it can be one step ahead. Opening a cage on this iron wall is enough to trap Yuan Yanxi to death...

Chang Renxin looked at the solitary lamp on the table, and finally walked in slowly. There were still the pen and ink he had just used on the table, blowing slightly in the wind.

Along with the signal, there are carrier pigeons. As long as Chang Shan stays put and waits for half a day, the carrier pigeon with his own handwritten letter will tell Chang Shan and his hidden guards what to do next.

Starting from the capital now, even with the fastest horse, it may only be able to reach Nantong at the same time as Yuan Yanxi. However, if he is no longer in the capital at this time and is far away, then Changshan's horse, which can travel thousands of miles a day, is enough to fight against the army. Before that, rush to Nantong.

This is a plan that cannot go wrong in any link.

When all the secret guards of the Chang family who had been waiting in place for half a day became extremely anxious due to speculation, Chang Shan, who was sitting cross-legged beside him in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the carrier pigeon flying over from the sky.

Catch the carrier pigeon and open it to see the order of the son.

A bright light flashed across Chang Shan's eyes, he quickly folded the letter into his sleeve, turned around and said to the hidden guards: "Turn around immediately, the young master has other orders!"

The hidden guards were surprised, but since there were new orders, they naturally put the task first.

At that moment, everyone got on their horses again, Chang Shan turned the horse's head, and led the crowd to gallop out again.

And this night, the capital was also undercurrents.

A few horses galloped out of the city gate, galloping out towards the dark night.
