Weapons and equipment were basically eliminated from the active troops of the Tang Dynasty, or from the border troops. Since the Sixteen Guards began to install new rifles, all the previous muskets were transferred to the border troops and local governments.

The weapons in the far and close combat in the local area were eliminated again and became piled up with scrap copper and iron.

Now, if someone wants to buy it, I will naturally not hide it anymore. In response to Li Chengqian's call, I waved my hand: Sell!

So when the Byzantines came to him, Shuixin did not hesitate at all. He called Prince Mu to his side and wrote a note for him. He sent him out without even seeing him.

One thousand steel crossbows, one thousand horizontal knives, and the matching crossbow arrows, a total of five thousand stag, or five hundred taels of gold, were sold, regardless of the shipping cost.

The Byzantines were very happy. After packing the things, they packed them in several large trucks, and "hired" some porters and transported them to the temporary warehouse of Xianyang Station, waiting for the next train to Tianzhu Road.

...

After spending a quiet night safely, the next afternoon, Wang Zimu received the news about "his own people". The Yuan Nanjian indeed sent someone to send a note with a time and a place.

Li Yiheng looked at the notes several times and gave them to Huangpu for a long time. Finally, the two decided to go to the appointment according to the time written on the notes to see how the other party arranged for them to sneak into the palace.

While Li Yiheng and Wang Zimu were holding notes to discuss whether to go to the appointment, the mysterious Yuan Nanjian appeared in Yang Tian's office of the Intelligence Department.

"How is it? Do they believe you?" Yang Tianmingren asked seriously with a cup of hot tea for "Yuan Nanjian".

"Do they have a choice?" 'Yuan Nanjian' shook the folding fan in his hand and said kindly.

"Old Wu, do you really think of yourself as Yuan Nanjian?" Yang Tian glanced at "Yuan Nanjian" and said angrily.

"If you want to pretend, you have to pretend like it, otherwise what if your feet are exposed?" "Yuan Nanjian" smiled, closed the folding fan with a 'swish', put on a pss, picked up the teacup in a fake manner, and slowly sucked it.

Yang Tian looked at "Yuan Nanjian" helplessly, sighed and said, "Old Wu, can't we speak well? If you have this kind of virtue, don't blame me and my sister-in-law for complaining you."

Hearing the complaint, 'Yuan Nanjian' sat up straight and said with a haha: "No, don't, Xiao Yang, no matter what, we say, it's a brother. Half of your ability is passed on to you, right?"

"Yes, so can you look like a senior? It's hard for me to do this." Yang Tian said threateningly.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." "Yuan Nanjian" finally took off his disguise and showed a serious expression and said: "Four or five people died, which was enough to gain the trust of that ghost face, so that he believed that I was not a secret line of the intelligence department, and their strength did not seem to be very strong. Judging from the defense level of their strongholds, most of the people they found were scattered soldiers, or some prisoners who were dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's policies. In this case, their group of people could not make any big tricks except conspiracy and tricks."

"What if they have other plans? This time they can get away with a thousand powerful crossbows and a thousand horizontal swords. They can have such a large force in Chang'an City, do you think they are still small forces?" Yang Tian frowned and asked back.

Old Wu smiled faintly: "It's just a secret. If they can really create a thousand people in Chang'an, there is no need for the intelligence department to exist."

Yang Tian smiled bitterly and sighed: "Haha, you have been outside for so many years. I don't know how great the changes in the Tang Dynasty were. Now it is not the past. There are millions of people in Chang'an City. No matter how powerful the intelligence department is, it is impossible to check all so many people."

"So what can I do if that's the case? They have all exposed tails. I have told them clearly that they are going to assassinate His Majesty. This has forced them to the dead end, so they will definitely come this time, and they will take a gamble."

"Just be sure. This force has been hidden very deeply. We have never thought that they have contact with the aristocratic family. So this time, we must make a contribution to a battle and completely eliminate them, otherwise it will cause great trouble in the future." Yang Tian said firmly.

"Don't worry, there must be no problem." Old Wu took a deep breath, grabbed the cold tea on the table and poured it into his mouth: "The two main leaders are under their satisfactory noses, and the Wang family was also monitored by Li Yue. There were still black men waiting for them in the palace. Even if they had wings, it would be difficult to run away."

Yang Tian was silent for a while, as if considering whether Lao Wu's judgment was accurate. He nodded after a while, and then asked, "Where is the other group of people? It's the guy with a face covering. Do you know his identity?"

"I heard that the accent should be from the Western Regions. Although this guy is trying his best to imitate our official language, he still has some Western Regions accents." Old Wu thought for a while and said with great certainty.

"It's good to know who they are. After leaving that day, their group entered the forest and then hid in the mountains. After we followed us for a while, they were thrown away by them." Yang Tian's tone was filled with annoyance, as if he was regretting this failure.

"Let's be more vigilant, and focus on monitoring the Western Regions people entering the city and those Hu merchants." After Old Wu knew that the man with a masked face had left the surveillance, his face changed slightly, and he said with some concern: "It's best not to let Your Majesty leave the palace before you find this person, in case they are anxious to jump over the wall."

"That's all." Yang Tian sighed: "However, what I'm worried about is that Your Majesty will not listen to the advice. You have been in contact with Your Majesty for longer than me. I believe you should know his personality."

Old Wu said in a deep voice: "Then send more people. In short, Your Majesty must not have any problems, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will surely usher in a major chaos."

"Well, I will do my best. If there was no news about that group of people before the start of the Chang'an Cup, even if I died, I would not let Your Majesty leave the palace for half a step." Yang Tian seemed to be ruthless and said with his back teeth.

"It's good that you have plans. I'll leave first. I'll let my people pay attention to that group of people, and you have to work harder." Seeing that the matter was almost done, Old Wu stood up from the chair, left Yang Tian's office with his hands behind his back, left from the intelligence department, and disappeared on the street outside.
