Chapter 380: The Mother of the Bomen Raises Her Stepson 47
They have too few people in the palace.
And if that time really comes, it will not be easy for them to complete the assassination with just a few people.
Don't think that they have already infiltrated the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial Kitchen.
But they were all marginal figures there and could never touch the food related to the emperor and concubines.
Forget about poisoning, if you dare to get close to me, you will have to go to the Ministry of Punishment.
Therefore, the main job of these spies in the palace is to transmit information.
When three blue flares rose in the night sky, Sirong and the eldest princess had already found out all the details of those lurking people in the capital.
The emperor stood by the window, his hands behind his back, his bright yellow robe fluttering slightly in the cold wind. He stared at the eerie blue light, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips.
"finally come."
Behind him, the eldest princess wore a loose palace dress with a dark tight-fitting suit underneath, and her fingertips gently stroked the soft sword at her waist.
In order to ensure the emperor's safety, she personally accompanied the emperor.
And Concubine Rou is here too.
The eldest princess patted the back of Concubine Rou's hand soothingly, signaling her to rest assured.
For these children who have lived in the royal family since childhood, this kind of thing is commonplace.
But the heroine never experienced this.
It's not that I look down on her, but as a woman myself, I feel a little distressed when I see the heroine pretending to be calm even though she is obviously very nervous.
The current heroine is just a bright girl, without too much scheming or intention.
Shen Junyao and Pei Yu, one guarded the Jingji camp, and the other led people to guard in the dark of Qixiang Palace.
The capital city was handed over to Sirong and trustworthy generals.
Shen Junyao stood outside the tent, stroking the token on his waist with his fingertips, his eyes as cold as frost.
"The signal flare has been fired. The Northern Di will surely take advantage of the chaos." He tilted his head and gave a cold order to his deputy general, "Pass the order down. The capital camp is under martial law tonight. Anyone who moves without my order will be executed!"
The deputy general clasped his fists, accepted the order, turned around and walked away quickly.
Shen Junyao raised his eyes and looked towards the imperial city, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
He was originally worried about Si Rong, but Pei Yu needed to lead a team of soldiers into the palace, and there had to be someone the emperor could trust to guard the camp.
The commander-in-chief of the camp was Pei Yu's uncle. Shen Shigen was worried about his son, so he volunteered to come and help guard the camp with the emperor.
Sirong asked Shen Junyao to stay with Shen Shigen in case the spy used any shady means.
Shen Shigen and Pei Yu's uncle are both straightforward people, so they might be fooled.
It’s not that they are stupid, but their thoughts are definitely not as meticulous as Shen Junyao’s.
With Shen Junyao here, the two of them were quite happy. They were playing chess in the tent, waiting for the result.
Shen Shigen was very happy to see his son succeed, and he was also happy to let Shen Junyao take care of it.
Sure enough, a few moments later, a soldier who had been serving beside General Pei came into the tent with his head bowed and respectfully offered him a pot of wine: "General, it's freezing cold, drink some wine to warm yourself up."
General Pei laughed: "Good! You are thoughtful!"
He raised his hand to take it.
"Wait a minute."
Shen Junyao suddenly lifted the curtain and came in. With a flick of his finger, a copper coin smashed the wine pot with a clang!
The wine spilled onto the ground, and black smoke instantly began to rise!
——Highly poisonous!
General Pei's expression suddenly changed, and Shen Shigen was furious: "Son of a bitch! Are you a spy too?!"
When the soldier saw that his plan was exposed, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his boot and stabbed General Pei in the heart!
"Qiang!"
Shen Junyao's sword flashed like lightning, and he killed the enemy with one sword!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the assassin fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Until his death, he didn't understand how he was seen through.
In fact, he didn't know, so there was no need to see through anything.
Shen Junyao was just doing a routine inspection. At this critical moment, he would carefully check everything at the entrance and everyone approaching the tent.
That pot of wine, even though it was brought by the soldier himself from the fireman, even though General Pei's personal guards had tested it for poison, even though the man was a veteran who had served in the camp for three years.
Shen Junyao would still stop him.
Because tonight, he even guarded himself.
Including the dinner in their camp, it was prepared today by the secret guards of Shen Junyao and Pei Yu.
The firemen in the military camp had long been imprisoned in a separate tent.
I received the news about tonight's action in the evening.
This is all Shen Junyao and the others can prepare.
As for whether there are spies among the fire troops, this is not important.
Once we catch the spy's leader, we'll be able to investigate quickly. The key now is to prevent them from having the opportunity to poison the person.
If it were at this time, the soldiers in the camp would have diarrhea.
So what if we catch the spy who poisoned the people?
In a certain imprisoned fireman, a true Northern Di spy gnashed his teeth and said, "I've been hiding for three years! Just waiting to be drugged tonight!"
Another spy rolled his eyes. "Don't bother trying! Lord Shen even changed his salt shaker. What are you going to use to poison him? Saliva?"
Spy: “…”
Professional dignity has suffered a devastating blow.
There was no fighting in the palace, mainly because the spies in the palace had been captured early on.
Shen Junyao and his men were at the Jingji camp, so there was no trouble.
The most intense situation took place in the homes of officials in the capital.
A large number of concubines, maids and servants were arrested.
There are a few people who usually don't show off their skills, but when they are caught, they show their true skills.
It's quite lively with people climbing walls and flying over rooftops.
They had deliberately let a few people escape, just to follow them and see if there were any other places they hadn't discovered.
Office of the Minister of Rites
"Catch her! Don't let her get away!"
A woman dressed as a maid was as slim as a swallow. She tiptoed up the wall and was about to jump out of the mansion.
"Whoosh!"
A hidden arrow accurately hit her feet, and she froze for a moment. The next second, the secret guard appeared behind her like a ghost and chopped her down with a knife!
"boom!"
The woman fell to the ground, and the secret guard picked her up expressionlessly: "The third one."
Ministry of Revenue
"Master! Master, help me!" A concubine was crying and was pressed to the ground by the guards.
The Minister of Revenue's face turned pale: "You...you are actually a Northern Di spy?!"
"I was wrongly accused. It must be the mistress who framed me!"
"You still dare to quibble? I've seen the secret letter you sent me."
The aunt looked up and suddenly smiled strangely: "Master, guess what I added to your favorite bowl of ginseng soup?"
The Shangshu's face turned pale: "You...!"
The secret guard interrupted coldly: "Don't worry, Lord Shen has already had someone replace your ginseng soup."
Auntie's smile froze: "...What?"
Secret Guard: "You put in powdered sugar, we have tested it."
Aunt: “…”
Professional frustration, +.
