Nie Zhen put the map in his arms.After a while, the soldier upstairs who was in charge of monitoring the movement outside came to the stairs and said to Nie Zhen and the others: "Someone is coming!"

Nie Zhen winked at the people in front of him, and the team leader who was pretending to be a nobleman immediately sat down at the round table, and the other three team leaders stood beside him.The team leader who played the role of the noble son was named Yang Jiao. Because of his special temperament, he played the role of the noble son.

At this moment, someone outside raised a voice: "Guest officer, the food is ready!" This voice belonged to the waiter from the shop just now.

Nie Zhen opened the door, took a quick glance, and saw that the waiter who had led his group into the store earlier was waiting outside the door with five waiters. They were all holding a food plate in their hands. Wreathed. [

As soon as the shop waiter saw Nie Zhen, he immediately bowed and said, "Guest officer, the food you asked for has been delivered!"

Nie Zhen nodded, stepped aside and said, "Send it in!"

The shop waiter led five waiters into the room with food trays in their hands, and placed all kinds of food on the round table, filling the entire round table with more than a dozen dishes.

The waiter bowed to Yang Jiao with a flattering smile on his face and said, "My lord, are you satisfied with these dishes?"

Yang Jiao nodded lightly, picked up the chopsticks on the table and ate by himself, picking out the essence of various dishes.Seeing this, the waiter and the guys next to him couldn't help but feel emotional.

Nie Zhen came up, took out six small silver ingots and handed them to the shop assistants.The waiters in the shop took the silver ingots and bowed down again and again to thank them.

"The villain will not disturb the rest of the distinguished guests! If there is anything you need, just ask!" The waiter said very enthusiastically, and several staff around him echoed.

"By the way, send enough food to our people in the nearby yard!" Nie Zhen said.The waiter immediately agreed.

After the waiter left, Nie Zhen and several others sat down at the round table and began to eat.Just as they were eating, Liu Meng came back. "Nothing!" Liu Meng clasped his fists.Nie Zhen nodded and said, "Let's eat first!" Liu Meng promised, sat down at the round table immediately, and started to gobble it up.

After lunch, Nie Zhen and his team stayed in the inn, while Liu Meng left the inn with a dozen of his men.

Liu Meng and the others swayed along the street towards the palace, with their skirts unbuttoned, their faces full of sloppy expressions, just like the guards of other caravans.

Arriving outside a tea shed near the south gate of the palace, Liu Meng took a few people and sat down at a borderline square table, while the others divided into two teams and continued wandering along the east and west directions.

As soon as Liu Meng and the others sat down, a tea doctor came up to greet them with a smile on his face, and without asking Liu Meng what they wanted, he spread out four large bowls neatly and filled them with tea!

Liu Meng raised his head and said to the tea doctor: "What snacks do you have?" The tea doctor stepped back as promised.

Liu Meng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then naturally glanced at the palace not far away.Not far away is the south gate of the royal palace. There are three openings, the middle one is the largest, with a height of three meters, and only one cart can enter at the same time; the wall is not very high, at least much shorter than the Han Palace; Eight guards armed with long daggers are lined up on both sides; there is a sentry tower on each side of the palace gate, and there are guards of the guards on it.Judging from the superficial situation alone, the defense of the Koguryo Palace is not tight!However, Liu Meng knew that the real situation would never be like this.

"Guest officer, the snack you want!" Dr. Tea's voice rang in my ear.Liu Meng turned around and randomly grabbed a handful of bean-like things and stuffed them into his mouth, looking very rude.

…………

When the evening approached, a dozen of Liu Meng returned to the inn.

Nie Zhen and seven of the eight sub-captains gathered in the hall of the small courtyard. Besides the nine of them, there were also a few soldiers who followed Liu Meng out today; At the same time, several soldiers were upstairs observing the surrounding situation. [

Nie Zhen took out the cowhide map and spread it on the round table, and asked Liu Meng, "What is the outer structure of the palace like?"

Liu Meng picked up a fine brush

The details of the sentry tower and guards are marked on the periphery of the palace.Liu Meng put down his brush and said to Nie Zhen: "These are the things we detected this afternoon! But I think the situation of the perimeter defense should be more than that!"

Nie Zhen looked at the floor plan and nodded.

Liu Meng continued: "I found out that food and vegetables are transported into the palace every three days. We can estimate the approximate number of people in the palace based on this!"

Nie Zhen raised his head and asked, "When is it?" "Noon tomorrow!"

Nie Zhen thought for a moment, and said to another team leader: "Tomorrow, you will be responsible for monitoring the situation at the four gates of the palace, and pay special attention to the scale of food and vegetables brought into the palace!" The team leader clasped his fists and agreed.Nie Zhen turned to Liu Meng and said, "Tomorrow, you will focus on the work of this grain store that delivers grain to the palace!" "Yes!" "Remember, don't make any noise!" "General, don't worry!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, two teams of 'Dragon Teeth' wandered out of the inn, no one had any suspicion of them.

The first team was divided into four groups and guarded outside the four gates of the palace, pretending to be ordinary tea drinkers drinking tea like yesterday.Liu Meng led another team to wait on the side of the street that the food transport team must pass through, also pretending to be tea drinkers.

Near noon, a convoy of carts appeared on South Street, guarded by imperial guards. This should be the convoy delivering food to the palace.

The convoy drove to the south gate and stopped, and then the imperial guards drove the convoy of carts into the palace, but the people in civilian clothes did not follow.The leader, a middle-aged man, talked to an officer of the Imperial Army for a few words, took a heavy cloth bag from the officer, and left with the civilians.

The middle-aged man passed by Liu Meng, Liu Meng glanced at the middle-aged man and then winked at his subordinates.A dozen or so people got up and left the tea shed, following the middle-aged man without a trace.

The middle-aged man led the common people into a rice shop called Tongqu Rice Shop.Liu Meng glanced at the signboard of the rice shop, and then a dozen people disappeared outside the door of the rice shop.

That night, several team leaders gathered in the hall of the small courtyard again.The team leader in charge of monitoring the situation of the four gates reported: "According to the scale of food brought into the palace today and the frequency of once every three days, the total number of people in the palace should be around 2000! Except for maids, concubines, and eunuchs, there is no one. Combat personnel, the guard force in the palace should be around [-]! In addition, according to the observation of this day, the guard force of the four gates of the palace is equal, and there is no key guard force!"

"Two thousand!" Nie Zhen recited silently.Then he frowned, looked at the map and said, "The four guards are equally strong, which means that the Goguryeo people didn't expect someone to attack their palace! But at the same time, we can't judge the approximate location of the Goguryeo king based on this!"

"General, the internal situation of the Goguryeo Palace should be similar to that of our Han Palace!" said a team leader.

Nie Zhen shook his head, "The specific situation is definitely different, maybe the difference will be very big! If we can't get accurate information about the Goguryeo Palace, rash actions will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will scare the snake!"

Nie Zhen stared at the cowhide map thinking, then suddenly raised his head and glanced around, and asked, "Where's Liu Meng?" A sub-team leader replied, "Has Liu Meng returned yet?"

Nie Zhen frowned, and glanced at the sky outside. At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight was already dark.

"Zheng Gang, order everyone to prepare for battle in case of any eventuality!"

The team leader named Zheng Gang immediately agreed and left the hall. [

As soon as Zheng left the hall, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.Immediately, Liu Meng appeared in the hall with sweat all over his face.

"General, I'm back!" There was excitement in the voice.

Nie Zhen reprimanded in a low voice: "Why do you come back now, kid?"

Liu Meng grinned, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms, which was already wet with his sweat.

Liu Meng spread the cloth bag on the round table, and took out a large sheet of rice paper from it.

The paper was not wet with sweat because it was wrapped in a cloth bag.

Liu Meng spread out the rice paper and excitedly said to Nie Zhen, "General, what do you think this is?"

Nie Zhen and the others gathered around the table, their eyes brightened.

"Liu Meng, isn't this the detailed floor plan of the palace?" Nie Zhen asked in surprise.

Liu Meng nodded, and affirmed: "This is the detailed floor plan of the Goguryeo Palace!"

Nie Zhen's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "The owner of Mipu, what did you do to him?"

Liu Meng's eyes turned cold, and he made a killing gesture.

Nie Zhen frowned, and asked again, "How did you deal with the aftermath?"

Liu Meng replied: "Don't worry, General! Beforehand, I asked him to leave a letter at home, saying that he went to the south to negotiate a business!"

Nie Zhen nodded, "That's good!"! ~!
