Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1145

After confidently saying all this, Zhou Ge looked at Zhang Guang and added, "General Zhang, don't be afraid to spend money in the city defense camp."

"And don't be reluctant to part with those pills."

"Xu Shan certainly enjoys extremely high prestige within the city defense battalion."

“But those peasants who climbed up from the bottom are all talk and no action, but they have huge desires. I hope that on the day of the uprising, the city defense battalion can be used by us.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang immediately stated, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhou, since learning that Emperor Qiming is about to return, I have secretly persuaded many of the middle and high-ranking officers of the city defense battalion to defect."

"Especially during the period when Xu Shan was away and Shangguan Yan'er returned to the Tianfeng Clan to awaken her bloodline, many generals who climbed up from the bottom to this position became very arrogant."

There's nothing they wouldn't accept. And nothing they wouldn't do.

"That's good!"

"The biggest problem in the capital right now is still the patrol battalion."

"Currently, Deng Ziyue, who is in charge of the patrol battalion, is Xu Shan's absolute right-hand man."

"He was utterly loyal to Xu Shan."

Upon hearing this, Jaco chuckled and said, "Then let him rest in peace!"

"He offended so many people by following Xu Shan. It's normal for him to die unexpectedly outside."

"In particular, Prince Ning, who led his troops north, regarded Xu Shan's people as a thorn in his side."

"General Zhang, please make a list..."

"Those who are stubborn and obstinate will eventually become history."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, Zhang Guang nodded emphatically and said, "This subordinate understands. Also, regarding the Northern Garrison Command..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Zhou Ge, who knew the inside story very well, sneered: "Qinglong and Zhuque have been recruited into the Divine Mechanism Hub. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be dispatched to Tongguanshan and Wuhu tonight to supervise the battle."

"Given our arrangements there, coupled with the cooperation of the Jiujiang navy from within and without... I'm afraid they won't be able to return."

After saying this with considerable confidence, Zhou Ge added with a sneer, "The only real threats to us are the Divine Mechanism and the Imperial Guard."

"But after all, their numbers are limited!"

"The Jiangnan navy that has entered Beijing this time is not the same as the ones on the surface."

“The private armies kept on the islands in the near sea were all incorporated into them.”

"If we add the Jiujiang and Wuhu naval forces, the remaining troops in the capital are simply not enough."

After he finished speaking, many adults quickly stood up and respectfully said, "Grand Secretary Zhou, your strategic planning is truly admirable."

"Wrong. It was Emperor Qiming, who had great foresight!"

"Yep!"

Under the overall guidance of Zhou Ge and Jia Ke, the group discussed the specific details.

By evening, they had broken up and left through the back gate of the manor.

On a hillside a hundred meters away from the manor, two figures stood in staggered positions, one in front of the other.

The young man in the lead, while watching their every move through a monocular telescope, asked the middle-aged man beside him, "Ziyue, how did you manage to find this Zhang Guang?"

"In reply to your question, sir, this fiend has become far too wealthy lately."

The only person who could command such utmost respect from Deng Ziyue was none other than Master Xu.

Xu Shan, who did not follow the main group, personally led the people of Mingyue Pavilion back to the capital quietly this morning.

"Hmm? Too wealthy?"

“When the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigated him before, he was penniless and destitute. He achieved his current status entirely through military merit and his own hard work.”

"But after the Lord left the capital and General Shangguan returned to the Tianfeng Clan, he actually became extravagant."

"When our brothers stationed in the city defense battalion reported these things, I just felt that he had suddenly risen to a high position and his reach had become too great."

"But after a real investigation, it was discovered that he was not just rich. In order to win over the generals of the city defense camp, he gave away two extremely rare Bu Yuan Dan pills at once."

"I've been following you for so long, and I haven't even managed to get my hands on a single Bu Yuan Dan. How can you be so generous as to give me two at once?"

"In adult terms, something unusual must be going on!"

Upon hearing Deng Ziyue's words, Xu Shan, who had put away his binoculars, turned to look at him and said, "Ziyue, I feel like you're targeting me, but I have no proof."

"My subordinates dare not!"

"We found quite a few good things and secret manuals in the Shu Prince's mansion this time. After some time, you can go and choose some."

"It's a bit of a hardship for you to be alone at home, keeping the Inspectorate in name only."

Before Xu Shan left, he anticipated that whether it was the city defense battalion, the patrol battalion, or even the Northern Garrison Command where he had started, some people would go against their original intentions and start to get arrogant.

Therefore, he secretly left behind a group of brothers and handed over dozens of Ghost Pavilion's spies in the capital to Deng Ziyue.

The original plan was to rectify discipline and conduct after returning to Beijing.

But who would have thought that he would dig out such a huge termite.

"Your subordinates and brothers thank you for your generous reward, sir!"

"Hmm? You old fox." Xu Shan only told him to choose, but Deng Ziyue and his men thanked him together.

This is clearly for their benefit.

Xu Shan naturally saw through his little scheme.

"According to your investigation, how many people have he turned?"

"There are more than ten people who are closely related to him and have direct contact with him. Apart from those we deliberately planted, there are more than ten people who have been turned by him."

“These people don’t hold high positions in the city defense battalion, but they all wield military power.”

"That's interesting. But there aren't many of them."

Xu Shan, without turning his head, put away his binoculars, and said as if to thin air, "Send someone to investigate who these ministers are involved in."

"Use them as the core and thoroughly investigate their entire network of relationships."

Upon hearing this, Deng Ziyue subconsciously looked towards the dark corner opposite.

As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, Tian Xue, wearing a fanged mask, appeared before him.

"Yes!"

"Also, inform Xuan Yueyu to activate a few hidden agents. Be prepared to purge the capital at any time."

"understand!"

"After you've arranged all this, you don't need to follow me for a while. Take some men and secretly protect Deng Ziyue and his subordinates."

"Ah? My lord, I don't need it right now..."

"They've already taken over the city defense battalion, do you think they'll let the patrol battalion go? You, my most valued elder brother, do you think they'll let you live?"

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Deng Ziyue, who was slightly excited, hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

Xu Shan, no longer trying to be sentimental, patted his shoulder meaningfully and said, "Don't worry, the situation in the capital won't change!"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Deng Ziyue added with unwavering certainty and reverence: "The capital city, with its palace gates closed, can only belong to the Xu family, and must belong to the Xu family."

This is not just Deng Ziyue's belief, but also the obsession of all the old brothers in the Inspectorate!

But for Xu Shan, opening the palace gates...

The one in the Golden Palace is also Xu Zhu Shi!
