Chapter 305: The Outstanding Intelligence Capabilities of "Ant Nest"
Li Yuanyi followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor and came to a study.
It turned out that what Li Yuanyi had just said was the secret code between him and the owner of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper looked Li Yuanyi up and down and asked with a vigilant look on his face.
"Sir, are you someone close to the lord?"
"Can I have the master's token and handwritten proof?"
Facing the Chamber of Commerce's owner's questioning, Li Yuanyi took out the identity token representing Jiang Chen from his arms.
Seeing the token in Li Yuanyi's hand, the Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly at the token in Li Yuanyi's hand.
"I am a soldier ant under the command of the 71st evil spirit of Ant Cave. I am honored to meet you, my lord!"
After Li Yuanyi put away the token, he helped the Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper up and said.
"The Lord has ordered you to search for information about the Ming Cult with all your strength."
"Also, you must speed up the collection of intelligence on the upcoming Jianghu Martial Arts Competition in Beiming."
"When the time comes, wait for the Lord's next instructions."
After hearing what Li Yuanyi said, the Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper nodded without hesitation and answered, patting his chest.
"Don't worry, sir. We will not let you down."
Then, after instructing the Chamber of Commerce's owner on some matters, Li Yuanyi left the company with the map of Beiming Imperial City given to him by the Chamber of Commerce's owner.
After returning to the post station, Li Yuanyi came to Jiang Chen's room.
Spreading the map of Beiming Imperial City on the table, Jiang Chen and the others carefully studied the internal layout of Beiming Imperial City.
It has to be said that the intelligence capabilities of the "Ant Nest" have reached an outrageous level.
On this map of the Northern Ming Imperial City, the number of people on night duty in various places in the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace is clearly marked.
In addition, even the shift changing times of these sentries are recorded in detail.
Looking at the entire map, Jiang Chen couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it seems that Ant Cave has not disappointed me in the past two years."
"Yuan Yi, come and take a look if I want to explore the Beiming Imperial City."
"In your opinion, at what time and from which direction should I break through?"
After hearing Jiang Chen's question, Li Yuanyi looked at the entire map again in silence.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanyi pointed to a side door on the east side of Beiming Imperial City and said to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, I think this is the safest way to break through."
"According to the shift change schedule of the Northern Ming Imperial City garrison, midnight is the most suitable time."
"Moreover, this is the city gate closest to the residences of the major officials of the Northern Ming Dynasty."
"Relatively speaking, the number of sentries should be smaller!"
After listening to Li Yuanyi's words, Jiang Chen turned around and simulated what Li Yuanyi said in his mind.
Sure enough, just as Li Yuanyi said, if they sneaked into the imperial city from the side door on the east side.
The chance of not being discovered and the probability of successfully infiltrating are several times higher than other directions.
"Yuan Yi, are you interested in following me and doing something big?"
Jiang Chen said this and looked at Li Yuanyi with a smirk on his face.
Under Jiang Chen's gaze, Li Yuanyi smiled and nodded without fear.
"My lord, just tell me what we should do. I have been wanting to do something for a long !"
"Hahaha, I can't tell you now."
"Now is not the right time. When the time comes, you will naturally understand my thoughts."
Jiang Chen did not answer Li Yuanyi's question, but smiled mysteriously.
The next day, when the sun was about to set, Jiang Chen took Li Yuanyi and Su Qingcheng with him.
Under the escort of dozens of soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion, they arrived at Bai Ze's mansion.
Upon learning of Jiang Chen's sudden visit, Bai Ze excitedly received his "close friend".
"Brother Wen Yao, have you recovered? "
Looking at the lively Jiang Chen, Bai Ze asked with a happy smile.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to you, Brother Bai. After taking a few doses of medicine, I feel better now."
"And it was not the day before yesterday that I rejected Brother Bai's invitation, and it just so happened that I just recovered from a serious illness today."
"I just wanted to come here to apologize to Brother Bai, and get some fresh air!"
Jiang Chen said as he put his arm around Bai Ze's shoulders.
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Bai Ze didn't think much about it. He smiled and walked into his mansion with Jiang Chen.
After several people walked into the hall, Bai Ze turned and said to the butler beside him.
"Go and tell the kitchen to prepare something delicious!"
"Also, bring me the jars of wine that His Majesty gave me."
"Today, I, Bai Ze, want to get drunk with Brother Wen Yao!"
After receiving Bai Ze's order, the butler hurriedly bowed and took the order and trotted to make the arrangements.
Soon, a sumptuous banquet was placed in front of Jiang Chen and others.
Bai Ze took two jars of fine wine from the butler and said to Jiang Chen as if showing off.
"Brother Wen Yao, you are in for a treat today."
"This is the fine wine bestowed by His Majesty. We bought it from the northern border of Xia Country at a high price."
"It should be said that Jiang Chen is a great man in both civil and military affairs, and he is also good at brewing wine ."
Bai Ze's praise made Jiang Chen almost blush.
Su Qingcheng and Li Yuanyi on the side were also trying hard to suppress their laughter and their faces turned red.
"Brother Bai, you are very thoughtful. I have had the honor of tasting this wine several times."
"It's just as the rumors say, it's refreshing!"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Su Qingcheng and Li Yuanyi, then spoke to Bai Ze.
"Hahaha, let's not talk about anything else. You and I, brothers, will not stop until we are drunk today!"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Bai Ze stopped talking nonsense and directly smashed the wine seal.
He filled the bowls in front of himself and Jiang Chen.
Then, he took the large bowl and started drinking with Jiang Chen, taking turns to drink.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk.
Bai Ze, whose face had turned red, spoke to Jiang Chen with all his might.
"Brother Wen Yao, you are such a big drinker. I, Bai Ze, am impressed. I am impressed!"
"Tsk, we're just getting started. Come on, let's continue drinking!"
Jiang Chen, who was also drunk, grabbed Bai Ze's sleeve and poured him another full bowl of wine.
Unable to resist Jiang Chen's enthusiasm, Bai Ze had to drink three bowls of wine in succession.
Jiang Chen, Bai Ze and the other two drank up several jars of fine wine!
Looking at Jiang Chen and Bai Ze lying unconscious on the table, Su Qingcheng smiled and said to the housekeeper beside her.
"Sir, my son drinks so much. Can you arrange a place for us to stay?"
The butler beside him heard it and said with a smile.
"Madam, don't worry. My prime minister has already made arrangements. Just follow me."
After saying that, the housekeeper called a few servants to help Su Qingcheng lift Jiang Chen and Li Yuanyi.
