At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, in order to monitor the world and avoid being deceived by officials, Emperor Jiazi personally set up a department called "Wind Patrol Envoy".

The patrol envoy is an independent organization, whether it is personnel or finance, is only responsible to the emperor, and is not subject to the management and supervision of local officials like the martyrs' shrine of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Before his death, Di Jiazi repeatedly emphasized that officials interfering in the management of these two departments would be regarded as rebellion. Since then, although the world has changed, and various things and policies have changed, this law has been adhered to and implemented well.

The Martyrs' Shrine is just a department to worship the souls of heroes, with few people and no money, except for a lot of face and a high status in the Great Xia society, there is nothing special. Over the years, it has played a great role in rectifying officialdom, investigating and punishing corrupt officials and squire bullies, and alleviating social contradictions.

Someone once said very unceremoniously that if there were no wind patrol envoys walking in the world as ears, eyes and minions, the Great Xia Dynasty would not have been destroyed for a thousand years, but in less than five hundred years. There was also more than one emperor in the Great Xia Dynasty who said that the Wind Patrol was one of the pillars that supported Great Xia, and its importance was no less than that of the court or the army.

However, over the years, the patrol envoy has also undergone a lot of changes.

For example, in addition to the patrol envoys directly under the emperor, the patrol envoys set up by the local state marquis and even the government have also been added. The duties of these patrol envoys are roughly the same as those set up by the emperor, and their establishment also needs to be supervised by the royal patrol envoys, which can be regarded as a compromise to ease the contradictions between the patrol envoys and the officialdom.

And among all the changes, the most important change is the addition of the "shadow guard" department in it.

When Emperor Jiazi had just established the Wind Patrol Envoys, the Wind Patrol Envoys were only responsible for investigation, and they were not allowed to directly intervene in the management of affairs unless there were special circumstances. This is both to limit the power of the Patrol and to protect the safety of the Patrol Patrol.

But I don't know from which generation of emperors started, and there were some special characters in the Wind Patrol Envoy.

In addition to investigations, these people are more hands-on.

And once they do it, there is generally only one means to take it, and that is one word: kill.

They don't bring perpetrators to justice, they don't even report to civilians and officials – either before or after. All people can know is the occasional word from the Wind Patrol Messengers.

Gradually, these people became known as "Wind Patrol Shadow Guards".

They are mysterious, and no one knows who they really are.

They are highly skilled and always able to solve problems, or directly solve the people involved in the problem.

They are ruthless, and often kill the whole family as soon as they make a move, and it is commonplace to kill all the doors.

As a result, they have become a well-known taboo in the rivers and lakes, and no one is willing to provoke, or even go to investigate deeply.

At the beginning, Pan Long and Han Feng went to the Black Wolf Village at night to investigate and rescue people, and as soon as Pan Long made a move, he killed a few robbers who were on guard, and he was mixed in with the robbers to investigate the patrol under the command of the Hou of Yizhou, so that the "black heron" was mistaken for the royal shadow guard.

There was some sarcasm in the tone of the patrol envoy at that time - whoever infiltrated the robbers as an undercover agent for a period of time, and saw that the investigation work was gradually on the right track, and it would not take long to successfully close the net, but one person jumped out and wanted to kill the robbers directly...... It's normal to be unhappy.

But the "black heron" did not hinder their work, on the contrary, he simply patted his ass and left, without a moment's delay.

The status of the shadow guard can be seen from this.

Of course, Pan Long and the others are not shadow guards, and even after he has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he has never really encountered a royal shadow guard.

However, he once asked his teacher Bi Lingkong about this matter, and Bi Lingkong told him with certainty that there were indeed shadow guards in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, and those shadow guards ...... According to Bi Lingkong, if he encounters it in the future, it is best to retreat and stay away from this kind of person as much as possible.

"After all, even I don't know if a shadow guard will be drinking and chatting with you one moment, and then draw a knife and slash you the next. ”

That's what she said at the time.

These words gave Pan Long a very intuitive understanding of the danger of the shadow guards, and also made him more and more wary of the shadow guards from then on.

As a result, he still didn't meet the shadow guard.

No, maybe they have met, but the two sides have not had any connection, and they are strangers to each other at all.

And today, Pan Long finally met a shadow guard who had contact with him.

At this moment, hidden in the dark clouds in the sky is one of the royal shadow guards, codenamed "Reclining Buddha".

This shadow guard is highly skilled, and since many years ago, he has been ordered to investigate the platoon.

Pai Jiao wants to rebel, and this matter is not only known to Pai Jiao, but also to many people in the rivers and lakes.

The imperial court and the emperor naturally knew about it.

How the imperial court reacted is temporarily skipped, the emperor's reaction to this is to send a few shadow guards to investigate the situation of the sect.

They don't need to directly confront the masters of Paijiao, but more to observe the clues of Paijiao, once they find that Paijiao has the intention of really doing it, they will report it immediately, and then the royal family will send a large number of masters to go all out and annihilate it with a thunderous blow.

In addition, if the situation is right, they will also make a short move to eliminate the masters of Pai Jiao, or those excellent junior talents.

Anyway, the royal family and Pai Jiao have long been mortal enemies, and there is nothing wrong with eliminating some of the other party's people.

Not only that, but after they kill people, they will also disguise themselves as the handiwork of various factions in the rivers and lakes, and provoke the relationship between the sect and the factions in the rivers and lakes, especially the famous and upright.

For this reason, these shadow guards, who are specifically responsible for investigating the Pai Sect, are all practicing famous and decent exercises.

Even...... They all have the status of famous and decent families.

Now this assassin hidden in the air is naturally no exception.

His identity on the surface is a great and virtuous monk, with superb Buddhism, peaceful, and has done many good things, and he is very respected by the people. Friends in the rivers and lakes also admired him, and people often visited.

But in fact, he has shot more than once, killing the masters of Pai Sect and the junior elite.

There are actually not many people who died under him, but because of his provocation, Pai Jiao has fought with Buddhism more than once over the years, and there have been many casualties on both sides.

He felt no guilt about it.

In his opinion, the sect is secretive, wanders on the edge of the law, often does things that violate the law and discipline, and more importantly, this sect has a grudge against the imperial court and wants to rebel, and it should have been exterminated a long time ago.

Buddhism seems to be compassionate, but there are too many people who do not respect the laws of the imperial court, and regard the so-called compassion as more important than the authority of the government and the order of society.

Allowing the contradiction between Pai Sect and Buddhism can not only crack down on Pai Sect and prevent it from becoming too strong, but also restrict Buddhism, especially for those radical sects of Buddhism who regard compassion as the highest criterion and Pai Sect, which is even a good thing for Buddhism.

After all, there are still many true monks in Buddhism who not only pay attention to compassion, but also respect the laws of the imperial court. The existence of these people is still of great positive significance to society.

This year, it is another once-in-a-decade experience of Pai Jiao, and the younger masters of Pai Jiao have gathered one after another, pressed by the seniors, just like their ancestors, driving a simple wooden platoon, cruising along the Tongtian River and various rivers, doing business with the people along the river, living a hard life, in order to sharpen their will, and by the masters secretly observing, looking for materials that can be made.

Several shadow guards are also acting in secret, secretly peeping, looking for an opportunity to make a secret calculation.

Whether it is killing the senior masters who protect these juniors, or killing the elite juniors of these platoons, they can deal a heavy blow to the platoon.

Especially the shadow guard codenamed "Reclining Buddha" is even more eager.

The shadow guards have been tracking and training three times in a row, and they haven't been able to find a chance to start.

Three experiences are 30 years.

In thirty years, it is three generations of young masters.

In the past 30 years, many powerful juniors have emerged in Paijiao, for example, one of the leaders of the [123 www.123ks.xyz] queue this time, "Little Liuren" He Dazhi, is one of them.

He Dazhi was a talent who stood out in the training twenty years ago, and soon after the experience, he was transferred to the chief rudder of the platoon to train, and later cultivated spells, and the means were extraordinary.

If nothing else, this person has the hope of stepping into the realm of real people in the future and becoming another "Heavenly Master" of Paijiao.

Although Kyushu is large, the real people of martial arts, the heavenly masters of the Dharma, those who are hidden in the world do not care for the time being, walk on the rivers and lakes, or although they do not step into the rivers and lakes much, they still have contacts with friends in the rivers and lakes, and there are no seclusions, and the total number of people is only a hundred.

Even if there is only one more, it will greatly strengthen the power of the sect, which is very detrimental to the imperial court.

Moreover, He Dazhi is not the only outstanding junior who is arranged.

"Reclining Buddha" sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.

Every time he rehearsed the teaching experience, he carefully followed, carefully observed, and looked for opportunities to make a move. But he couldn't find it.

For thirty years, he hadn't been able to find a single opportunity.

He waited for thirty years, and he was anxious for thirty years.

Now, seeing that Paijiao is another generation of young people about to grow up, he is so anxious that even if he recites Buddhism every day, he can't suppress the killing intent that is almost boiling in his heart.

If he is an ordinary monk, he may think that this is a demon, but he thinks that this is a spiritual opportunity sensed in the dark, and it is a harbinger of the future.

Masters who have cultivated to their level often have a certain premonition, and can make wonderful judgments about the future without warning, and this judgment has no reason to support, but it is mostly correct.

This is a portent.

He believes that his nervousness and anxiety, and his growing killing intent, should also be an omen.

This means that in this Pai Jiao, there will be one or two extremely outstanding talents, and they may even be good enough to change the balance of power between Pai Jiao and the Great Xia Emperor.

Logically, this is unlikely. No matter how powerful the Pai Sect is, there is only a Heavenly Master, and there is no immortal demon god and immortal Buddha. And among the Great Xia royal family, there are immortal demon gods in charge.

But if everything in the world pays attention to "truth", then it is probably still the Tianxiong Dynasty now!

Therefore, the "Reclining Buddha" has made up his mind, even if he takes his own life this time, he will annihilate this group of junior masters who are arranging teaching, and he must not let them grow up again!

He waited patiently and waited, but he waited for a god-sent opportunity that he never expected.

The two masters of the platoon who sat in this wooden platoon all the way left!

Among those two masters, one of them has long been on the edge of the Heavenly Master, and he may break through at any time, and he may even break through in the battle as long as he fights together, that is, he must also be careful;

Over the years, the deaths of at least five or six royal members and twenty or thirty court officials have been directly or indirectly related to that "ghost nod" Gu Qingfeng.

This person has long been a repeat offender who the Great Xia masters want to kill and then quickly, but so far, no one has the ability to kill him.

With these two people in charge, even if the "Reclining Buddha" is desperate, he can only give his life in vain, and he may not even be able to hide his identity.

So he can only endure and wait.

He believed that the omen of inspiration would never be meaningless, and that as long as he worked hard and endured, there would definitely be a chance.

Sure enough, now the opportunity has come!

According to his temperament, when Gu Qingfeng left, he originally wanted to make a move. But for the sake of safety, he still waited again, and waited until the "clairvoyant" who monitored the chief rudder of the platoon sent a message and determined that Gu Qingfeng was indeed in a hurry to return to the chief rudder of the platoon before he made a brazen move.

As it turned out, his good omens were right!

Among the younger generations of Pai Sect, there are indeed unimaginable geniuses!

He tried to swallow another mouthful of blood that poured into his mouth, and the solemn face of the former treasure was now filled with a crazy smile.

(That's it!That's the man!)

He said to himself.

(Don't hesitate, this must be this person!)

(This person can continue to improve in battle, and his true qi has been polished more and more proficiently, maybe even in this battle, he can truly complete the return to the basics and step into the realm of real people.) ）

(Such a martial arts master has never appeared in the previous teaching materials.) ）

(There is no doubt that he is the one who is nervous about the old man's guard, and the one who makes the old man's murderous intent boil!)

He took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind.

In the sky, a golden phantom reappeared, but this time, it didn't lift its foot and step on it, or throw a punch as usual.

The figure looked down at the wooden raft surrounded by green light, then recited a Buddha name, and flew into the sky.

Just when everyone was surprised and surprised, and some even thought that the battle was over, a heavy pressure that had never been felt before suddenly fell from the sky.

Along with it was a bright golden light that made the earth almost as if it were day.
