Qingqiu City, the back garden of the imperial city.
A small pavilion stands on the top of the rockery, which is riddled with holes and is ventilated everywhere. Countless orchids and black bamboos grow out of the holes. The surrounding view is wide, and the gentle slopes are covered with four-season maple trees.
There are strange species in heaven and earth, and so is maple.
Different types of leaves change in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Maple trees are interplanted in four seasons. Throughout the year, as the seasons change, the color of the maple forest around the rockery changes from light yellow to blood, just like neon in the sky, which is so beautiful. Beautiful and enchanting.
Linghu Qingqing was sitting in the pavilion, playing with a bloody maple leaf in her fingers, squinting and looking coldly at Gu Shan, the secret commander of the Tianhu Guard whom she appointed.
Tianhu Guard, this is the personal guard formed by Linghu Qingqing himself.
The secret spies in the Tianhu Guard have power, status, power, etc. that surpass the Royal Secret Agent Organization of the Forbidden Demon Palace. This secret spy force was so important that Linghu Qingqing couldn't even trust his own Linghu clan members, so he used his best confidants when it was first established.
Gu Shan is an orphan adopted by Linghu Qingqing since he was a child. He raped her with his own hands since he was a child and collected his soul. Linghu Qingqing's life and death are all under the control of Linghu Qingqing. He is loyal to Linghu Qingqing with all his heart. He can be regarded as the most powerful person in the world. One of the trusted subordinates.
Previously, Gu Shan was lurking in the 'Fox Tail', always monitoring every move of Ling Hu Qingqing's eldest son, Ling Hu Gu, who escaped by pretending to die, lest the 'Fox Tail' would become Mr. Hu's personal power and threaten Ling Hu Gu. The fox is green.
Even his own son can't be trusted, and Gu Shan is more reliable than his own son. This shows Gu Shan's status in Linghu Qingqing's heart.
Gu Shan, who was not tall, was born short and strong, with an aura as stable as a mountain, but with a faint bloody evil aura that seemed to be real. He stood quietly in front of Linghu Qingqing, word by word, and slowly said what he had said these days. the results of the investigation.
Gu Shan speaks very slowly and steadily, every word is like a nail being hammered into the iron plate, giving people a feeling of being extremely reliable and reassuring.
Gu Shan's performance has always been the same. He can always complete the tasks assigned to him by Linghu Qingqing perfectly.
Linghu Qingqing listened to Gu Shan's report and pondered for a long time before crushing the bloody maple leaf in his hand into pieces.
"In other words, Dawu's secret agent in Qingqiu, Bai Gui, confessed that the people who assassinated the imperial concubine were indeed not them? So, at the scene of the assassination, the most advanced Xuanming Annihilation Tower from Dawu was secretly developed by them How do you explain the gun?"
Gu Shan said calmly: "According to Bai Gui's confession, I have broken through Dawu's thirty-nine single-line espionage channels in Qingqiu. One of the channels confessed that they were ordered by Dawu to transport a group of top-secret baggage into Qingqiu." .”
Raising his head, Gu Shan said solemnly: "Bai Gui doesn't know about this either."
Linghu Qingqing raised his head in surprise: "In other words, Bai Gui, the secret agent of the Great Martial God Kingdom in Qingqiu, failed to perfectly control his subordinates?"
Gu Shan was silent for a while, and then shook his head slightly: "According to some clues that I found out... It's not that Bai Gui is not in control, but that it seems that a third-party force invaded Bai Gui's secret agent organization and stole some of the items that belonged to Bai Gui. power."
Linghu Qingqing opened her mouth.
Gu Shan nodded vigorously.
"Ha, that's it." Linghu Qingqing murmured: "From the time when the boss got into trouble, to the attack on Huqiu, and then the assassination of the imperial concubine... Haha, what's more, Tushantang, my Linghu family's Tushan The Tang lineage was actually used by the Wei Dynasty to deal with me."
"I have always had a vague feeling that there is another hand making trouble here."
Linghu Qingqing stood up. He was more than two heads taller than Gu Shan. He bent down slightly and looked at Gu Shan. He said in a deep voice: "Here, find this person who is making trouble secretly... I will kill him with my own hands." Nine tribes.”
Gu Shan raised his head and looked at Linghu Qingqing intently: "Who does Your Majesty think this person could be? Is this third-party force the people in my court now, or... the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
"Remnants of the previous dynasty, is it possible? What are Sima Xian and others doing every day now?" Linghu Qingqing pointed at Gu Shan's nose and asked him.
"Eating, drinking, having fun, living in drunkenness and dreaming... Everyone's every move every day is monitored. The void around King Jin's fiefdom is sealed, and even the transmission of orders is impossible. It is impossible for them to have any communication with the outside world. Minister, Guaranteed with my head." Gu Shan confidently answered Linghu Qingqing.
"Then, who could it be? King An Huo Xiong?" Linghu Qingqing sneered: "It would be the man who killed the First Army and its members in one fell swoop, provoked countless wealthy families, and had a reputation that was unparalleled... How dare you Are you provoking the Xiang family’s fools?”
Gu Shan was silent for a while, and then shook his head vigorously: "It's not King An. King An has been recruiting troops and horses to expand his strength these days, but the expansion speed of his invincible army has priority. If it weren't for the Five Elements Elf Tribe of the vassal tribe he brought back from the southwest, Help, his private army can’t even control his own country.”
With a cold snort, Gu Shan said calmly: "King An's strength is all on the surface. It must be admitted that in conjunction with the Four Spirit Battleships, the frontal combat power of the Invincible Army and the Five Elements Elf Department is amazing... But the methods behind the scenes... It’s not that I underestimate King An, it’s really unsightly.”
Curling his lips, Gu Shan said coldly: "Your Majesty, King An has instructed Lan Changqing, who has taken refuge in him, and the old man Huang Lang beside him to form a secret spy force, one dedicated to spying on intelligence, and the other dedicated to spying on intelligence. Come to assassinate and assassinate... But neither Lan Changqing nor Huang Lang is the material... "
Linghu Qingqing pointed at Gushan and laughed and scolded: "So, don't tell me that you didn't add sand in it."
Gu Shan spread his hands and said calmly: "Now there are two secret spies under King An, and three of them were arranged by me. Except for the two apparent leaders Huang Lang and Lan Changqing, almost all the middle and upper-level leaders , are all my direct subordinates.”
Raising his head proudly, Gu Shan said coldly: "The feudal kingdom of King An has no secrets for me. Therefore, it cannot be King An who did these things."
Linghu Qingqing said quietly: "Then, it will be?"
Gu Shan was silent for a while, and said quietly: "According to some clues that I have traced, I was decisively cut off from all connections... By such means, this person should enjoy a high position in the court, and his potential power is extremely huge... Your Majesty, there is no evidence." , I dare not make random guesses."
There was a gentle sound of jade chimes in the distance.
Linghu Qingqing frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Shan swayed slightly and turned directly into a ray of shadow, blending into the shadow at Linghu Qingqing's feet.
The secret spy of Tianhu Guard is the most secret force in Linghu Qingqing's hands. Even Linghu Qingqing's extremely close confidants, such as Linghu Ayi, Linghu Qingqing's loyal old servant, only know about Gu Shan's existence. , but I have never seen Gu Shan’s true appearance.
Hiding, concealing, and protecting all information about oneself is Gu Shan's instinct engraved in his bones.
In the distance, Linghu'a, who was wearing a first-grade eunuch's robe and the attire of a great eunuch, ran out of the maple leaf forest in a small step, stood at the opening of a jade path in the distance, and looked towards this far away. He bowed.
"Your Majesty, Master Gongyang Sanlu is seriously injured... Please see me."
Linghu Qingqing opened her mouth, she was surprised, and said with a hint of inexplicable joy: "Severely injured? Haha, it's seriously injured. If you don't go to recover, why did you come to see me? Hey, hey? Seriously injured? Could he have gone? On the frontline battlefield?"
Gu Shan's voice came from Linghu Qingqing's shadow: "Your Majesty, twelve hours and three quarters ago, Gongyang Sanlu led a large group of people to Qizhou... Among the people he brought, there were ministers Those people who are being monitored these days.”
"What's the matter?" Linghu Qingqing asked him with a frown.
"Sixty thousand formation mages were attacked and the entire army was destroyed." Gu Shan's answer made Linghu Qingqing raise his eyebrows and curse in a low voice.
"Could it be a big show arranged by King An to steal these array masters?" Linghu Qingqing immediately asked.
"I said that King An has no secret espionage force available. He cannot do such delicate and delicate things." Gu Shan snorted coldly: "It's not that I underestimate King An and steals 60,000 formation masters. , he can’t do it so cleanly.”
"Furthermore, my people have already surveyed the scene in detail... What they have taken is an extremely powerful fire-attributed innate spiritual treasure that can be ranked among the top ranks of the country's artifacts. King An does not have such a treasure in his hands. ." Gu Shan said coldly: "The one who does it is no one else."
"Then, isn't it the thief calling for the thief?" Linghu Qingqing waved her hand towards Linghu Ayi and made a gesture.
"I will do my best to investigate." Gu Shan responded in a low voice: "I will not make any speculations before there is evidence."
Linghu'a nodded, turned around and left. After serving Linghu Qingqing for so many years, he would know if Linghu Qingqing was thirsty or wanted to kill someone or set fire to him if Linghu Qingqing's eyebrows moved slightly.
After a while, Gongyang Sanlu, with disheveled hair and bloodstains all over his body, holding his belly with both hands, was carried in on a soft chair by two sturdy palace maids, and appeared in front of Linghu Qingqing in such an extremely embarrassed state.
Linghu Qingqing looked at Gongyang Sanxi with a horrified expression.
It's not that he is pretending on purpose, but that Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu have known each other for nearly ten thousand years in this life. One of them represents the general and the other represents the civil servant. They have known each other since they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they have known each other for behind-the-scenes. The forces are entangled with each other and confront each other.
In Linghu Qingqing's heart, Gongyang Sanli has always been so elegant, so spirited in writing, so free and unrestrained, so calm and collected. At any time, Gongyang Sanli is like a jade carving. Bamboo, clean and energetic.
But now, Gongyang Sanli is like a large pet dog that has been bitten by a group of mad dogs. He no longer has the grace and dignity of the past, and is completely haggard and withered.
"Grand Master... why is this so?" Linghu Qingqing's voice changed, becoming like the real little eunuchs standing behind Linghu Ayi, and she let out a high-pitched, high-pitched sound. .
In fact...if it wasn't for her self-restraint, Linghu Qingqing almost pointed at Gongyang Sanli's nose and laughed out loud.
It's really... so enjoyable.
When they were young, Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu gathered their gang members to fight in the street for a red-card girl from a brothel... Linghu Qingqing was beaten with blood all over her body, while Gongyang Sanlu stood far away and high up, spotless. He was flirting with the girl with the red card...
Gong Yang Sanli, who was as clean as an expensive jade pendant at all times, actually became so embarrassed
Looking at the big black footprint on the snow-white belly of Gongyang Sanli, Linghu Qingqing almost laughed out loud and almost sang loudly - Ouch, you Gongyang Sanli, did you have such a miserable life
"Why is that...who is so bold? Who is it? I, I must..." Linghu Qingqing gritted her teeth and forcibly controlled her expression.
He was worried that if he spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart at this moment, would he be so angry that Gong Yang Sanxi would vomit blood
In fact, what Linghu Qingqing wanted to say at this moment was that he didn't know who injured Gongyang Sanlu. Such a talented person could be called the pillar of the country. He must reward him heavily... Well, he must reward him heavily... Well, he must reward him heavily.
However, as the grand master of the imperial dynasty, I still have to give him this face.
Although I wish I could chop Gongyang Sanli into pieces with one knife, there are so many disciples and grandsons of this guy. Gongyang's disciples almost control the administrative work of the dynasty, so I have to figure it out slowly, and figure it out slowly.
Linghu Qingqing looked at Gongyang Sanxi with a gloomy look on his face, trembling all over. People who didn't know would have thought he could be so angry.
"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister..." Gongyang Sanli looked at Linghu Qingqing tremblingly: "In the world of our Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, there are such daring and lawless madmen... Moreover, they have also committed such heartbreaking acts. His behavior... I request your Majesty to kill the national traitor 'Huo Xiong'!"
Gongyang Sanli, who finally escaped from Aozhou City, even lost his favorite gray grandson Gongyang Si in Aozhou City.
He held on to his injuries and went directly to the imperial city to see Linghu Qingqing, hoping to use the country's power to kill Wu Tie.
At this moment, Gongyang Sanxi was very murderous. As for whether it would be embarrassing for Linghu Qingqing to know about this kind of thing, he could no longer care.
If he didn't say anything, wouldn't Linghu Qingqing know
"Ai Qing said, who are you going to kill?" Linghu Qingqing's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Gong Yang Sanxi in astonishment: "Ai Qing, then An Wang Huo Xiong has made great contributions to the country..."
"Huo Xiong, King of An, has evil plans. Please kill the traitor Huo Xiong!" Gongyang Sanli repeated his request loudly.
"My dear... Now the country is in a fierce battle with Dawei and Dawu. Within the country, peace should be the most important thing!" Linghu Qingqing shook her head vigorously and used an extremely high-sounding excuse to reject Gong Yang San. After thinking about it, I started to make mud.
"My dear, you are also a veteran minister of the country. You should know that national affairs are the most important and the national affairs come first... At this moment, in this situation, in our Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, peace should be the most precious thing, and peace should be the most precious thing!"
"My dear, you are the pillar of the country, but Prince An, Huo Xiong, is also a hero of the country... The palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are all flesh... I... am in a dilemma..."
"My dear, you should put state affairs first. Ah Yi, open the secret vault, get the best healing elixir, and escort the grand master back to his home to rest... My dear, you should rest and recuperate. If your body is not recovered, don't go to court. It’s time to discuss matters, and your body is the most important thing!”
Linghu Qingqing held Gongyang Sanli's hand and looked at him affectionately: "The country cannot live without my love for you... I can't live without my love for you... Therefore, please love me for the country's court." The most important thing is to put the world as the most important thing and the people of the world as the most important thing. We must have a good life and recuperate, and we must not leave the root of the disease."
Gongyang Sanlu looked at Linghu Qingqing coldly and tried hard to withdraw his hands.
Linghu Qingqing smiled and held Gongyang Sanlu's hand, letting him pull hard... Haha, my dear, you are a pure Dharma cultivator, do you still want to compete with me, Linghu Qingqing
Today, I have to make you sick and sick.
Linghu Qingqing hugged Gongyang Sanlu's shoulders and shouted loudly: "Come here, bring the healing pill. I will personally serve the Grand Master to administer the medicine!"
Gongyang Sanli shivered all over, and felt countless goose bumps popping up quickly.
"Old thief, Linghu Qingqing, you old thief!" Gongyang Sanli cursed in his heart.
