As the crown prince of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Yu was obviously not an idiot.

There have been idiots who ascended the throne since ancient times, but the fact that he maintained the position of regent prince when the old emperor was unable to take charge of affairs for such a long time shows that this person at least has the basic ability to rule the country. Otherwise, even if the ministers can tolerate him, his brothers and sisters will probably not be able to wait too long.

Therefore, Chen Yu was very clear about the current situation of the Chen Dynasty.

After failing to conquer the State of Liang for a long time, seeking compensation from Qinghe was the only way he could think of to quickly restore the country's strength.

Therefore, he must capture Qinghe, otherwise any discerning person can see that because the Chen Dynasty has been on the offensive, its losses on the central battlefield are obviously greater than those of the Liang Kingdom, so the Chen Dynasty is very likely to be the first to collapse.

This is why the Jinyiwei were mobilized in full force.

The purpose of going to investigate Qinghe's defense was fake, the real purpose was to wait for an opportunity to kill Lin Hai.

A few days before Mao Xiang set out, the prince held a rare grand court meeting in the camp on the central battlefield.

After Mao Xiang was scolded by the prince in front of important ministers, he went out for a while, and then he sneaked into the prince's study again.

"Any country is at its strongest when it is first founded, especially since Lin Hai just defeated the Khmer Rouge. Domestic morale is high. An expedition to Qinghe at this time would be extremely disadvantageous to us."

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Mao Xiang felt relieved.

This was partly because the prince had not been consumed by the jealousy that was rumored to have consumed him.

Another part also knew that the prince's anger in front of everyone today was just an act, and his own status would not be in problem for the time being.

"What the prince said is very true."

Mao Xiang quickly agreed, saying that such a truth could not be wrong anyway, so just praise the prince.

"I scolded you at the Grand Court today because I knew that this news would definitely get out. It would probably not take a few days for Lin Hai to know about it. The Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief would be under pressure from me and would go and find out about his defenses.

And Mao Qing, you are well-known. He will definitely mobilize the entire force of the Qinghe Intelligence Department to deploy defenses in the fortress area, trying to stop or capture you. This way, you can sneak into Xijing more easily and kill Lin Hai with one strike! "

Mao Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he recalled the prince's plan.

As a ruler, setting up the game personally and personally participating in it was a great favor and support for him.

But if only everything were that simple.

As a veteran in the intelligence community, Mao Xiang knew that it would be difficult to fit Wang Zuo, who looked young but was deep-minded, into such a simple plan. Moreover, even if Wang Zuo fell into the trap, he would never dare to reduce the defense around Lin Hai. Therefore, this plan might be possible to mobilize the defense deployment of the Qinghe Intelligence Department, but it was definitely impossible to reduce the difficulty of assassinating Lin Hai.

Besides, who in this world wouldn’t be scared when hearing that Mao Xiang is coming?

How is it possible to transfer the garrison forces to other places?

However, Qinghe’s response was really a bit unexpected.

Mao Xiang, who had been in the sewer for two days, stroked his beard which was covered with a lot of unknown objects and sighed.

The upper echelons of Qinghe are basically all young people, and they are bold enough to use such methods.

"Sir, how long do we have to stay here? The brothers who went out to gather information have all returned. The search that was as thorough as searching the mountains and seas has ended."

The person who spoke was the Jinyiwei Tongzhi, whom Wang Zuo and Xue Wuxia had been looking for for a long time without any news.

"We have to wait another day to completely let them down. And the time we agreed to strike with the brothers lurking in Xijing is tomorrow."

Mao Xiang stroked his beard hard, but it seemed that he couldn't stroke it clean.

When he sneaked in, he knew that there were two large sewers under the Qinghe Fortress Group, one connected to the sewage pipe and the other connected to the toilet inside the fortress.

Logically, you should choose the one hidden in the sewage pipe, after all, the environment looks a little better.

But Mao Xiang went against the crowd and chose the one connecting to the toilet.

The reason is simple. Unless the toilet is blocked, no one will take a second look at it.

As for the harsh environment?

What are you afraid of? We are professional intelligence personnel. During our training, we even buried ourselves in a manure pit, leaving only a reed for ventilation. Are you afraid of this?

Of course, since Lord Mao took the lead in entering the pipeline, no one dared to complain.

However, if we just go through this channel and then kill our way into the fortress, everyone will naturally accept it.

But who knew that Mao Xiang seemed to like this environment very much and actually stayed here for two days, with no end in sight. Naturally, his brothers found it difficult to accept and complained a lot, which led to the scene where the Jinyiwei Tongzhi came to sound out the situation.

"We have to stay one more day. We have to make them think we're going to Xijing to assassinate Lin Hai."

Mao Xiang sighed.

"I know the environment here is terrible. We're stationed in the main pipeline here, and tens of thousands of people excrete there, and it all converges into this pipeline. It's true that you guys can't handle it. Not to mention you, I was also shocked when I saw so much shit rushing in for the first time."

"But isn't Lin Hai in Xijing?"

The Tongzhi was obviously stunned by the stench and asked a question that Mao Xiang thought was very simple.

"I used to think Lin Hai was in Xijing. As for the emperor, if he's not in the palace, then where else should he be? Right?"
