In the next few days, Wang Changfeng and Yu Zhener acted separately and were very busy.

Wang Changfeng took Liu Zhiyuan and several guards to the new Yamen of Xunlongwei early in the morning to take care of matters. The Yamen is located on a small street in the northwest corner of the capital, with green trees on both sides, and the door of the Yamen is also inconspicuous.

, most people passing by this place think it is the residence of some low-key official family.

Wang Changfeng is quite satisfied with this site selection. In his mind, the Xunlong Guard must be low-key, grounded and down-to-earth. The key is that it cannot be like the Jin Yiwei, which is regarded as a terrifying road by ordinary people.

After walking in, the entire yamen is decorated like a garden. Except for a row of buildings on both sides where daily staff work, it really can't be seen that it is any different from the houses of wealthy families.

Wang Changfeng's commander's office was in the backyard. After passing through the garden, there was another world. The whole yard was planted with sweet-scented osmanthus trees. It was the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom, and the fragrance inside and outside the courtyard was overflowing.

After Wang Changfeng sat down, he asked for the list of subordinates and resumes, and looked at them carefully. According to Zheng He's early design, Xunlongwei has four divisions and one team, one division is responsible for intelligence reconnaissance, the second division is for weapons and equipment, and the third division is responsible for weapons and equipment.

In charge of the personnel selection exercise, the four division heads will receive money, food and grass supplies, and there will also be a dragon team to go out to perform tasks.

At present, the staff of each department has not yet been fully staffed. Only a few subordinates have set up stalls to work, established communication channels with various ministries and yamen of the imperial court, and are preparing to carry out follow-up work. However, the Xunlong Guard matter is confidential, and there is no corresponding official seal and customs protection. The ones used for external use are still

The logo of Jinyiwei, only insiders have special marks for identification.

The candidates for the heads of each department and the leader of the Dragon Team have not been finalized yet and are waiting to be determined by Wang Changfeng himself.

After reading the resumes, half a day has passed. These are low-level officials, and Wang Changfeng is not really interested in them. At present, he needs to determine the candidates for the heads of several departments as soon as possible, so that his plans can be allocated and implemented as soon as possible.

Although Liu Zhiyuan has been with him for a short time, he can see that he is alert and thoughtful, and can be the head of the first department. He must first grasp the preliminary intelligence work. Intelligence is a crucial part of whether the mission can be successful. Both the second and fourth departments are

For the more complicated work, two honest and steady people have to be selected to do it. At present, there are no suitable candidates, so Zheng He has to recommend two people to do it first. The third department personnel selection exercise, Wang Changfeng prepares to go into battle himself, after all, he is the only one.

Only then did I know what kind of person I wanted. As for the Shenlong Team, I have to wait until I return from the trip to Zhoushan before deciding.

The busy day passed quickly, and I even had a few hasty bites of lunch.

Only then did Wang Changfeng realize that being an official was not an easy job. There were too many things to worry about and everything had to be taken care of. From this point of view, it was still the joy of following the wind and waves on the sea.

And Yu Zhen'er was not idle that day. She took Yuezhu and two guards and ran from East Street to West Street to buy all the daily necessities. She was exhausted from running all day long, and there were still many things that were not fully purchased.

It seems that the moving day will have to be postponed for a few days.

When the three of them returned to the inn, they went to their rooms and lay on the bed. They didn't want to move and didn't even have the energy to eat dinner.

Fortunately, Zheng He had been strongly supporting Wang Changfeng's work. Although he was in a hurry, everything was finally straightened out after a few days.

Liu Zhiyuan's troops were divided into several groups and sent more than a dozen capable men to explore the whereabouts of various places along the coast. They must find out the specific place, time, size of personnel and general direction of going to sea. The Second Division's side followed up with the Yangzhou Shipyard and the Navy

They were all connected, and the forty cannons had been secretly transported to Yangzhou by water. They only had to wait for Wang Changfeng to go to the shipyard in person to finalize the plan before construction could begin. There was not much movement from the Third Division and the Shenlong Team. After all, Wang Changfeng needed to go to the shipyard himself, but Wang Changfeng

According to Zheng He's list and the wishes of the palace, a hundred and ten men were added from Jinyiwei and Zheng's mansion. Wang Changfeng did not expect these people to fight at sea, as long as they could swim and were not afraid of water.

On this day, Wang Changfeng was in the commander's office checking the preliminary information sent back from the First Division. Liu Zhiyuan walked in and whispered: "Sir, we have found out what happened outside the city."

Wang Changfeng's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Close the door and speak slowly."

Liu Zhiyuan turned around and closed the door, leaned forward and whispered: "According to your previous description, such a house was indeed found in a mountain col thirty miles behind the cow's head. There are about ten yards in total in the two yards.

This house looks like someone's country house. But our people have been secretly observing for a few days. There are secret sentries around the whole yard, and the guards are changed regularly. I'm afraid there are at least 20 people ambushing in the yard. In addition,

There are secret sentries in the surroundings, with at least thirty people as guards. If it is a general target, there is absolutely no need to be so cautious. There is nothing obvious from the attire of those people. They are just ordinary black clothes, but their actions are very similar to the style of Jin Yiwei.

.”

After Wang Changfeng heard this, he thought that it was basically consistent with the information provided by Li Xiaowan before. However, even with the defensive power of thirty Jin Yiwei, the chance of winning by himself alone would not be more than 30%, not to mention whether Ji Gang had other fatal arrangements.

.

Wang Changfeng asked: "Can you tell which room contains the person?"

Liu Zhiyuan returned: "It should be in the house in the backyard. I can't confirm which one specifically. It's too far away. If I get closer, I'm afraid of being discovered by the other party."

Wang Changfeng nodded and said, "What's the surrounding terrain like?"

Liu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "According to the observations of my subordinates, it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. It happens to be in a small mountain valley sandwiched between two mountains. There is only one trail in and out. If you want to get close without being discovered,

It is very difficult. Although the hills on both sides are not high, they are indeed very steep, and the opponent must have arranged manpower defense on the mountains."

Wang Changfeng thought about the information provided by Liu Zhiyuan, roughly outlined the location of the courtyard and the surrounding situation in his mind, and considered how to defeat the defensive force.

Judging from the current strength at hand, although it seems that a lot of manpower has been added, it is difficult to say whether those people have the spies arranged by Ji Gang and can be dragged out to fight at sea. If they do such a thing, I am afraid that the news will leak out and they can actually be used.

There are only a few old people under Liu Zhiyuan.

Wang Changfeng asked: "Besides those sent out, how many reliable people do you have?"

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "With me, we should be able to make up eight people."

Wang Changfeng stopped talking, mentally calculating the balance of power between the two sides. Although Liu Zhiyuan's men were all somewhat skilled, even if they were one against two, it would still be difficult to completely deal with the opponent's defense. Moreover, once a stalemate was reached, Fang Jingzu's life would also be in danger.

The key is that it is impossible to determine which room Fang Jingzu is locked in, or even whether he is locked there, which adds a lot of trouble to the rescue.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Wang Changfeng's mind. It seemed that he wanted to save Fang Jingzu, but Ji Gang refused to save him, but in fact, Ji Gang didn't want Fang Jingzu to die at this time more than he did. Wang Changfeng believed in his own judgment. In this case, he might as well force him to.

Ji Gang took the initiative to push Fang Jingzu out.

Without further ado, take action immediately. Wang Changfeng said: "Tonight, I will take you and the seven men with me. Let's meet five miles east of the city in the evening. Each person will prepare twenty fire dragon arrows. You can watch the other weapons.

Arrange to prepare another carriage."

Liu Zhiyuan knew that Wang Changfeng had already made plans, so he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."

Wang Changfeng called a car himself and returned to the inn to make some preparations.

Since arriving in Beijing, he has been busy with work and has not had time to practice the exercises properly. Wang Changfeng was worried that he was regressing. Taking advantage of half a day left, he hurriedly meditated in the inn to practice.

Within a moment, Wang Changfeng's technique began to operate freely. The surrounding breath continued to flow into the Dantian and then into the meridians of the whole body. After not practicing for a few days, the technique did not become unfamiliar, but instead ran more smoothly and naturally. What Wang Changfeng didn't know was that in the past few days,

The palm he faced Liu Banshui in front of Hongyue Tower actually stimulated the circulation of breath in his body, and he broke through some connections. At this moment, Wang Changfeng's natural induction technique has reached the level of the sixth level.

Unknowingly, three hours had passed, during which Wang Changfeng didn't drink any water, but it felt like only a moment had passed. When he finished his work, he found that the sun had set in the west and it was approaching evening. Wang Changfeng didn't feel hungry at all, but

I feel that my whole body is full of energy and my body has been adjusted to its peak state.

It was getting late, Wang Changfeng got up and changed into a set of clothes. It was the black night clothes specially made by Xunlongwei recently. They were all made of special linen. They were light and tough. Generally, a few strokes with a sword would not be a big problem. Just now, the four men

The company's design was launched, and it caught up with Wang Changfeng's operation for the first time. The weapon was still the dagger he got from the attack on the sword-washing pool on Tianshu Island. This dagger had been with him all the way, although it was not a big deal.

It is a magic weapon, but it is also made of fine steel, making it a good choice for assassination and sneak attacks. It is obviously impossible to go head-to-head in tonight's operation, and we can only use the darkness to cover the raid. In this battlefield environment, the advantages of short weapons are even more prominent.

Putting the dagger carefully on his waist, Wang Changfeng put on a green shirt and dressed up like a scholar. Then Shi Shiran walked out of the room and went downstairs.

As soon as Wang Changfeng left the inn, another room door opened, and a pale yellow figure flashed out and followed him quietly downstairs.

On the official road five miles east of the city, Wang Changfeng was walking slowly and saw several young men driving a carriage from a distance, seemingly resting on the roadside.

As I walked closer, I heard someone shouting in a low voice: "Sir!"

Wang Changfeng took a closer look and saw that it was Liu Zhiyuan and the others. Wang Changfeng asked: "Are you all ready?"

Liu Zhiyuan cupped his hands and replied: "The fire dragon arrows are ready. There are one hundred and sixty in total. There is no problem with oil, flint and stone. It will definitely hit the target."

Wang Changfeng nodded. One hundred and sixty fire dragon arrows would burn down twenty houses. He only used a few dozen to burn the Japanese pirates' ship. Now he used the same trick again.

Get ready for a fire camp.

Wang Changfeng winked at Liu Zhiyuan and whispered: "If someone is following you, don't look back and drive the carriage to the mountains." After that, he got into the carriage.

Liu Zhiyuan waved, and several guards followed the carriage towards the mountains.

After walking for an hour, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The official road turned around and branched off into a small path leading into the mountain. The trees on both sides of the road began to grow dense.

Liu Zhiyuan and his entourage drove the carriage and still walked slowly.

At this time, a mile behind, a light yellow figure was staring behind. Seeing the carriage entering the mountain, the man quickly accelerated to avoid losing track.

After the man entered the trail, he vaguely saw the carriage turning a corner in front of him and lost sight of it. The man felt a little anxious, so he hurriedly caught up with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned the corner, I saw the carriage stopped dozens of feet ahead and stopped moving.

The man was startled, quickly stopped, hid behind a big tree by the roadside, and quietly observed the movements of the carriage.

Suddenly, the man felt someone pat him on the back. In shock, he turned around suddenly and pointed out with one hand.

But when his hand reached mid-air, it was grabbed by another hand, unable to move. A familiar face appeared in front of him, Wang Changfeng.

Wang Changfeng hissed and whispered: "Why are you following me?"

Yu Zhen'er looked at her little hand that was being held and said angrily: "Let me go quickly."

Wang Changfeng deliberately held on and shook it hard, and continued to ask: "If you don't answer my question, I won't let go."

Yu Zhen'er said angrily: "Don't think that I don't know what you have been secretly busy with these past few days. Another woman must have been here that day. If I guessed correctly, that person was the person you met at Juchunfang the night before.

But I don’t know if it’s that girl Li Xiaowan. But no matter what, the things you did secretly must have something to do with that girl, you just don’t want me to know.”

Wang Changfeng sighed: "If I don't want you to know, I will definitely think that it will not be good for you in the future if you find out."

Yu Zhener said angrily: "That's not necessarily the case. Anyway, you can't do anything without telling me."

Wang Changfeng shook his head: "You really want to follow me? It will probably be very dangerous."

Yu Zhen'er nodded firmly.

Wang Changfeng slowly let go of her little hand and said: "I only have one condition, which is that from now on, you must obey me in all your actions. Can you do it?"

Yu Zhen'er hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Let's go." Wang Changfeng took the lead and walked forward. Yu Zhener secretly smiled and followed.
