"That's good. Since you are based in this town, you should know the news from the south to the north."
"If you go back to the lord of the castle, there are very few things big and small in Jiangnan that I don't know about."
"A few days ago, a group of ghosts appeared in Jiangnan..."
Ling Xuan said in surprise: "The owner of the castle is indeed a strange person. This happened suddenly, and very few people in the Jiangnan area know about it. You know it first!"
It's not my credit, it's the king's credit...
"I have never doubted your ability to kill the alliance in intelligence. You give me a copy of what you know, and give it to me in the middle of the night."
"Yes, this is natural. Can the lord of the castle imagine the helmsman of our branch?"
"I don't want to see more outsiders and make people suspicious of my identity. You must not pass on the fact that I am here to anyone other than the bitter master."
With my words, Ling Xuan is naturally able to meet the bitter master, can you not like it? He happily said, "Yes, yes! I'll go and put together a copy for you."
"Also, with so many of us here, why don't you ask about the situation?"
"You shouldn't know, and you shouldn't ask a question."
I smiled and said: "You are on the road. Those people are my subordinates, you know what I mean."
"The little one understands, the little one understands. Naturally, I don't dare to embarrass the noble family."
I pulled a low stool to sit on, and Ling Xuan immediately ran up to clean me up when he saw it, and he also blew a few breaths of hot air, as if he was afraid that the cold stool would cool his buttocks. But for a while, I couldn't get hot. Ling Xuan didn't have Tangye's ability to heat. He wished he could swell his face and put it on the bench to make it warmer, so he brought it for me to sit on.
Ling Xuan smiled and said: "Fort Master, please take a seat, what are your orders?"
On the surface, the people who kill the alliance seem to be friendly, but in fact they have little respect for customers. Even if I was told to be polite, it's too much to greet me like that...
"You are being too polite to me." I saw him nodding and bowing, shaking his head and tail, as if he almost asked for support, and said curiously, "You people are used to scolding mothers behind their backs, and you can still be so attentive to people. Why did your master instruct you to see me like this? Am I so scary?"
"What's the use of the master's orders! This is all voluntary!" Ling Xuan's face was full of respect, "The customers of my killing alliance are divided into Tiandi Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang is not mentioned, and the customers of the local name, the small ones should be regarded as small ones. It's the helmsman of my killing alliance. Think about it, in the face of the hall master, the little one has to pretend to be a person even if he sacrifices his life. Not to mention, it's just polite."
"I remembered." I do know this. Although the Killing Alliance doesn't respect outsiders, even heroes and monks, it only greets the recognized guests with thoughtful and attentiveness. "It is said that you treat some distinguished guests really well. The guests of Tianzihao are treated at the level of deputy chiefs. You can kill thousands of killers by killing the deputy chiefs. The people under them are really going through fire and water."
"Isn't it right? If it weren't for the ten most holy places, and one side was a tyrant, who could enjoy the honor of Tianzihao?"
I took a jar of wine, patted off the sealant, raised the jar to drink, and asked by the way, "You treat me so well, so what's my name?"
"Hey, the master didn't say your name." Ling Xuan rubbed his hands together and said, "He just said, as soon as you appear, you can treat it as the master's biological father."
I spit it all out!
What the hell! Does your grandma think I'm the devil of the world! !
Chapter 25 Raid
The rain is getting bigger and bigger.
The winter rain is indefinite, and the rain is even worse in places near the mountains and forests. The shops in the town closed early, except for the lights of each household, there was no other lighting, and it was pitch black.
A big man was drunk and swaying on the street with a wine jar, drenched in icy rain, but he laughed loudly: "Big head, big head, don't worry about rain, he has an umbrella, I'll blow his dog's head! Hahahaha! ." One foot high and one foot low, almost fell to the ground and a dog ate shit.
The drunk man slapped the door of other people on the street while rejoicing, but no one came to him.
"Fuck! Isn't it just to borrow a toilet for convenience? I don't even borrow it." Cursing and wandering, he finally stepped into the inn.
When a big man saw the drunk man coming, he diligently helped him to talk next door.
This big man is Tie Hanyi, and the drunk man is Long Zaitian.
Tie Hanyi asked, "How?"
With a drunken face, Long regained a trace of clarity in Tian's eyes and said, "The idea is tricky."
"What was the result of your trial?"
Long Zaitian frowned and said, "It's so evil. I walked around outside, yelling, and rolling around on the ground. No one came to see this town."
Tie Hanyi looked into the distance and felt a little chill in his heart: "I see that this town... There are no more than ten families living in this town."
"What about the rest?"
"Perhaps... all of them are martial artists in disguise..." Tie Hanyi's face became more and more ugly, "This place is definitely dangerous, go back to protect the emperor... Master Li!"
"It's not a good sign if the rain doesn't end."
The emperor looked at the night rain outside the window, and sighed uncontrollably, raised the knife in his hand again, and engraved a code on the bamboo slip.
Although Yuan Shengdi went on tour in a micro-clothing, he did not waste the government. There are secret agents on the side of the king who accompany him, and they use a fixed secret method to contact the palace at any time. Many of the accompanying people stayed downstairs, and a few followed to protect the emperor's safety.
But in the inner room, only the emperor himself was always there. He wrote the imperial decree with the secret code on bamboo slips and thought about the country's plans, which was a time that could not be shared with outsiders.
The emperor thought for a while, then muttered: "Kong Duan suddenly disappeared without a trace in the prison, Zhang Shangshu insisted that he didn't know the inside story, it must be a evasive word... It's just that the so-called Fengsheng faction controls the three departments: the controller, the ritual, and the household. , but headed by two Confucian scholars, the most important thing is the deepest tree of the two people, the past of the peach and plum dynasties. As soon as the signboard of the descendants of the sage Kong Duan fell, the two major factions of the six divisions collapsed in half...
The Ministry of Housing Qian Wuque is a doer who cares about reality. He is friendly with Zhang Shangshu and Kong Duan, but he is a completely different person in his bones. Can be re-used. Kong Duan's criminals are monstrous, and his faction has become unpopular after his dismissal. Even if people are not dead, it is just a cruel life, which is not a cause for concern. Zhang Shangshu was deeply involved in the court, and had righteous thoughts in his heart. Even if he was confused at times, it did little damage to his country. Don't criticize too much. When the monarch is in power, what is serious and what is light must be clearly understood. "
When the emperor was engraving, he liked to say the content. In this bamboo slip, there is a diligent exhortation, and the language is sincere. It does not seem to be an decree, but it seems to be educating one's own children. Sure enough, it followed.
"Chi'er should take this as a lesson when he returns to Beijing, remember to remember."
After writing, throw it into the bamboo tube, and then send it away by its own spy.
When the emperor left the palace this time, all preparations were made in a hurry, with sufficient manpower, and there was no panic at all. The reason is that this is a move he has long considered. Even if Shen Yiren was not in an accident, the emperor also planned to go to Huzhou to meet the owner of Luojian Villa and discuss with him the future problems of the White King's Seven Crowns. And I observed with my own eyes what Jiangnan outside the capital looks like now
And another purpose of this decision is to test a person - the person most likely to become the next king in this dynasty, the emperor's eldest son, His Royal Highness Chi Wang who is about to return to Beijing.
At the beginning of the new year, the emperor was not in the palace. Large and small affairs in the palace will need to be handled by the Red King who has just returned to the capital. The emperor had left a copy of the sacred object in the palace, and ordered His Royal Highness Chi Wang to sit in the court and the opposition and supervise the country as a prince while the emperor went to visit the queen mother at Zisheng Mountain.
This is also a trial given by the emperor to the red king. If you can't handle even this situation, what face is the king's strength? Not to mention the candidate for the crown prince.
If the emperor was going to make this move a few months ago, he would not be quite sure. Because the Orange King is still there, he lives in Beijing with the Red King.
The Red King is the eldest son, but the Orange King is the heir. No matter who you choose to lead Chaogang, there is a suspicion of favoring one over the other. And the two brothers don't bite each other very much. If the Red King supervises the country, the Orange King will definitely do everything possible to cause trouble. How can a major military event be a joke? Since the capital is the center of the country, there should be no chaos at all.
However, the emperor was still hard-hearted and soft-hearted. While ordering his son to overcome all difficulties, he still wrote a letter asking to be careful.
After the emperor finished writing the engraving, his eyes were fixed on the seven copper coins in a neat row on the desk.
The emperor stared for a long time, did not speak for a long time, and only spoke for a long time.
"Ahu has become one of the candidates for the next suzerain of the Jinyin Sect... I did not hold them accountable for their rash use of swords and soldiers, and the king and grandson of Jin had the intention of rebelling, the Jinyinzong really had to give me this face." A Huna appeared in the emperor's mind. The burly figure, "He is supported by me, and he has no foundation in the gold and silver sect. He was born as a servant, and he will inevitably be dissatisfied with the high position, so he will have to rely on the court. In the future, he will be the one who conquers Zhenjiang. A good move."
After all, I took one copper coin, but there are still six left. The emperor looked at the six coins in a daze, but stopped moving.
"Ten million in the south of the Yangtze River, seven crowns of the White King... Self-imposed taxes, self-sacrificing private soldiers, and ruling Jiangnan for a hundred years is not easy..."
