The last few days of the year were quiet to the people at that time. The recall of Red Lieutenant Lindy by the Prince Regent did not attract any attention. In the eyes of the bureaucrats in the Imperial Capital, a young red-robed Hatsumoto being promoted to deputy commander was indeed a lucky man worthy of envy, but it was only worthy of envy. There were too many high-ranking officials in the Imperial Capital. A mere deputy commander immediately became dull and dull under the contrast of those dazzling superstars.
On the night that the red-robed assistant Lin Di entered the city, he immediately went to the Regent's Residence at 21st Central Street to request an audience. After reporting his name, he was received. In the basement of the chief's residence, the chief talked with the newly promoted deputy commander for more than an hour. The guards guarded the entrance of the basement and no one was allowed to approach.
It was already late at night when Lin Di walked out of the gate of the Prince Regent's Residence. Stepping on the thick snow on the central street, the handsome officer laughed out loud for no reason, which surprised the guards at the entrance of the Prince Regent's Residence.
The Luo family had been exterminated by the Yuwen family. Chief Luo Shijie was the only one who had escaped the disaster. Although the two of them seemed to be on good terms on the surface, everyone knew that Luo Shijie and Yuwen Batian would not rest until one of them died.
The next night, just as Chief Roger returned home, a guard came to report,""The red-robed assistant leader Lin Di requests an audience."
"No." the chief said coldly.
"He said it was urgent, about the primrose.”
" Red Primrose " was the code name for the operation to eliminate Yuwen Batian. The only people who knew about it were the Regent and the Chief.
Roger was shocked when he heard that. He turned around and said,""See you."
Seeing the president, Lin Di went straight to the point.""Sir, the Prince Regent has agreed to the Primrose Operation. He has specially ordered me to assist you.”
Looking at the new officer in front of him, the chief nodded lightly. In his opinion, this operation should be kept as secret as possible. There was no need for Lin Di to join.
"This humble official is reckless. May I ask if you have a plan?”
"Yes."
Lin Di smiled bitterly and asked again,"May I ask for more details?"”
Roger reluctantly revealed his plan. The whole operation sounded like a small-scale military coup. Three days later. On the last day of the year 785, the 30th of December, the two divisions of the central army stationed in the city received orders to surround the headquarters of the Overwatch Office. Luo Jieshi was personally commanding at the scene. They would crush all resistance and directly arrest Yuwen Batian. Then, the saber cracked. The head of the evil man fell to the ground, and the world was at peace.
Halfway through, Lin Di's brows were already furrowed. However, because the person in front of him was the family's president, he patiently listened to him and even pretended to admire him." Lord, you have thought deeply and planned carefully. With such an operation, Yuwen Batian will not be able to escape. Once Yuwen Batian dies, the Yuwen family will be destroyed without a doubt.”
"Yes."
"But I'm afraid that the Chief won't pass.”
"Hmm?"
"Sir, you have to think for His Highness. Even though His Highness agreed to let you do it. However, the Empire was currently at war with the demons. To capture a mere traitor. Mobilizing the army to destroy the peaceful atmosphere in the imperial capital was probably not what His Highness wanted.”
Roger narrowed his eyes. He was not a fool. In fact, the Prince Regent had already hinted to him the same thing: Yuwen Batian was an arrogant and despotic chief inspector. His father was the prime minister. Although he had already stepped down, his influence could not be ignored. The Yuwen family was too much of a threat to the empire, and the empire's tolerance towards them had reached its limit. If the proud Inspector General suddenly died one day, then no one would pursue the cause of his death and the murderer. The royal family would be happy to see Luo Jieshi kill Yuwen Batian, but they would not interfere.
This operation, at least on the surface, must be a revenge operation for a personal grudge. It had nothing to do with the family, and it had nothing to do with the wise and great Prince Regent. However, when he thought of the blood feud between his wife and children, his anger had already burned his mind. As long as he could kill Yuwen Batian, he did not care about the consequences.
"I know what I'm doing," he said coldly. All the consequences. I'll bear the consequences myself."
Lin Di stood up and replied in the same cold and arrogant voice,""Sir, I'm afraid this is not a problem you can bear. Without the order of the Prince Regent or the Empress, you cannot mobilize the Imperial Guards. Moreover, His Highness the Prince Regent will never issue a warrant to you.”
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and Roger looked away angrily. "Then what do you think we should do?”
"Yuwen Batian has many enemies. He is also very careful. There are as many as a hundred guards coming in and out. He came and went at random times. He took a different route to and from work every day, and he never ate outside. He only ate the food he brought with him. It was impossible to ambush him with a sudden attack.”
"You don't have to say that!"
said Roger coldly. He had been working on it longer than Lindy and knew this. It was also because of this that he chose to mobilize the army and directly destroy Yuwen Batian's lair.
"It's generally impossible, but not impossible.”Lin Di said," No matter how tight Yuwen Batian's defenses are, His Highness the Regent Prince supports us. This is where he will definitely lose!"”
" But the regent said that he wouldn't interfere…"
"The regent won't interfere, but he can still help us secretly. Yuwen Batian's whereabouts were unpredictable and mysterious, but he had to be summoned by the Prince Regent. " For example," Lin Di smiled and said," I'm sure that in three days, which is the night of December 30th, His Highness will summon Yuwen Batian to report on this year's work report." The report started at 9 pm and ended at 12 pm. " Sir, think about it. Yuwen Batian has finished his report. Where would he go in the middle of the night when the new year is coming?”
"Go home!"
The two of them shouted at the same time. Roger was so excited that he stood up and walked quickly around the room. They were all smart people, so he knew what to do without Lin Di's explanation. The most troublesome thing about Yuwen Batian was that his whereabouts were mysterious and unpredictable. However, now that they knew his movements, as long as they ambushed an ambush along the way, it would be easy to eliminate him.
"Sir, even if we know Yuwen Batian's whereabouts, we still can't be careless. Most of Yuwen Batian's guards were experts. It was said that he was also a first-class expert. His combat strength could not be underestimated. Moreover, the Prince Regent doesn't want to cause too much of a commotion. It's best if we avoid the central street.”
Roger, who was immersed in excitement, did not listen to Lin Di. He could not wait to discuss the details with Lin Di, such as where to ambush, how to arrange for people to block the traffic, how to set up the ambush, and how to suddenly attack to achieve the best effect.
During the discussion, Lin Di felt that Roger should go to the scene personally. After all, Yuwen Batian was the Empire's Inspector General. Loud scolding might shake his subordinates. Roger was personally present to hold the fort. This way, he could prevent other soldiers who did not know the truth from interfering in this ambush. Of course, he had another reason that he couldn't say out loud. Only when Roger was personally present could the world think that this matter was indeed a personal grudge between the Inspector General and the Director General. There was no other conspiracy.
Roger readily agreed. Because he also wanted to see his biggest enemy die with his own eyes. If he could stab him a few times with his own hands, it would be even better!
In order to avoid alerting Yuwen Batian's eyes and ears everywhere, the person involved in the attack had to be absolutely reliable and could not alarm too much. Fortunately, as the chief of the Empire, Rogese had a convenience. He could use the excuse of training, collective training, rotation, and business trips to transfer his trusted aides out of the various units and quietly complete the gathering of troops.”
" Sir," Lin Di recommended himself," I have brought back more than fifty cavalrymen. They are all veterans who have been with me for many years. They are experienced in war and reliable. It would be my honor if I could help you.”" Sir," Lin Di recommended himself," I have brought back more than fifty cavalrymen. They are all veterans who have been with me for many years. They are experienced in war and reliable. It would be my honor if I could help you.”
In Roger's opinion, in terms of manpower. His suicide squad of more than 300 people was already sufficient. Not only was it unnecessary to join a new group of outsiders, but there was also the risk of leaking secrets. However, Lin Di was sent by the Prince Regent to assist him, and he had a faint sense of supervision. If he rejected him, it would be a little disrespectful.
He promised Lin Di, but arranged for Lin Di's subordinates to be on guard at the periphery, responsible for clearing the field and intercepting Yuwen Batian's reinforcements. Lin Di agreed without a care and said respectfully,""Milord, our revenge is about to be taken. Congratulations."
"Haha." Roger laughed dryly. It was indeed as Lin Di had said. The information was accurate and the situation was favorable. It seemed that Yuwen Batian's execution was a sure thing. He would have to avenge his many years of hatred. However, for some reason, there was no joy in his heart. Instead, there was a sense of loss.
What would happen to the empire without Yuwen Batian?
