There is not one place where Li Shimin is preparing to 'close the net', and Li Xuandao has found 13 suspicious locations in the past month or so.

However, at this time, the problem of insufficient reliable manpower under Li Shimin's hands was revealed. In order to prevent leakage of news, he could only concentrate his forces first and attack the Lu Mansion, the mansion of the former writer. After winning this most important goal, there is room to focus on the rest.

But at this time, the Demon Dragon Babu was already vigilant, and the harvest was small and small. Except for a few locations, Li Shimin ambushed all the suspects in advance and was able to capture all the suspects, and the rest either went to the empty building or directly committed suicide by taking poison, and found nothing.

By the time the dust had settled, it was already dawn. At this time, the Jingzhao County Ya was unexpectedly ready to intervene. Among them, the face of the bone instrument is extremely ugly.

Li Shimin's move to set aside their Jingzhao County government can be understood as distrust, but it can also be understood as contempt, alienation and hostility. He can comprehend the meaning, this embroidered general, obviously has a sense of rejection. I don't plan to cooperate with his Jingzhao County Government in any form other than a last resort.

Li Shimin faced Gu Yi's cold gaze, his heart was a little weak, but his face was calm and he didn't care at all.

If the two sides only have different political views, or if there is a conflict on official business, he will not care.

But yesterday's bone instrument showed a hatred towards him nakedly. There is no reason for him to graciously pull the enemy at this time and give the other party a credit for nothing.

This is not only irresponsible for yourself, but may also affect relatives and friends in the future.

He expected Gu Yi to continue to be in trouble, and even anger the Son of Heaven and transfer him from the position of Jingzhao County Governor. Only in this way can you minimize your troubles to the greatest extent.

However, a vicious battle in Lu Mansion last night still made Li Shimin secretly vigilant, and even had a little remorse. At that time, he was almost escaped by that dragon lie - if this happened, then he really harmed his official duties out of selfishness.

Li Shimin also secretly laughed at himself, when did he start to become the person he hated the most?

He can only comfort himself, this is for Li Xuanba, as long as he can avenge his third brother, then what if he goes to hell?

Mei Huayu chose the location where the Demon Dragon Babu prisoners were held, and chose to be in the palace city, located in the left treasury of the East Palace.

Since the death of Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, this room has been vacant for a long time. In addition, deep in the palace city, there is a strict defense of the magic circle, which can be said to be an excellent place.

On the same day, Qu Tutong dispatched 5,000 forbidden troops to settle here, all of whom were his most trusted subordinates.

On Mei Huayu's side, five battalions of embroidered guards were also transferred, with a total of 650 people. Among them, there are more than 30 handsome masters at the third-grade level - but unfortunately they are just ordinary Jianghu masters, and there is still a big gap with the general-level.

However, in addition, this one also invited three first-grade apprentices to worship, and six first-grade magicians to live in the town.

——The reason why there are more magicians than martial arts is because there are many Taoist Buddhist temples enshrined by the imperial court near Chang'an. Usually, these real people, monks and Dharma masters, accept the money and title offerings given by the imperial court, so they naturally have the obligation to serve the imperial court at some time.

When Mei Huayu handed over several inner court worships to Li Shimin, he could only temporarily recruit these magicians to the East Palace.

These are all highly qualified and well-known monks around Chang'an, and they are immortal leaders, as long as they are not like Lin Zixuan, the master of Yunmengguan, the chess pieces deliberately cultivated by the Demon Dragon Babu, the reliability may be stronger than the embroidered guard's own family,

The Jingzhao County Ya of Guyi was not to be outdone, in addition to the two hundred Ya soldiers, there were also four first-grade Jianghu martial arts cultivators to move in. Two of them are also well-known bad marshals in Daxing City, and the remaining two are martial arts cultivators who are supported by the Jingzhao County Ya all year round.

This is the limit of what the bone instrument can do, and the resources of the county government are indeed limited, and they cannot be compared with the forbidden army and embroidered guards.

Only the situation on the side of the Criminal Department is more complicated, this is because many high-ranking officials and elites of the Six Doors of the Criminal Department have gone to Luoyang with the Son of Heaven. There are not many heavyweights left here. The few people who are in charge are all passing the buck to each other.

Qu Tutong and the others could see that these people probably had little confidence in the reliability of their subordinates and were unwilling to take responsibility.

It just so happened that Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was about to take office in Chang'an. It is also a matter of course to choose not to seek merit and only seek no fault before the arrival of this person.

So these people didn't force it, and after a polite inquiry, they didn't pay attention to it anymore.

However, Li Shimin also arranged his personal guards who were still as high as more than 140 people, because the opponents he was about to face next were no longer something that his personal guards could deal with.

These personal soldiers of him are all good at fighting on the battlefield, but when facing the hordes of top shooters of the Demon Dragon Babu, they are weak to deal with martial arts.

In the previous attack outside Guangdefang, not only could these guards not help, but seven people were shot alive.

This made Li Shimin's heart ache and regret. These are all elite iron horsemen that he piled up with money. Although there were only one hundred and fifty men, on the battlefield they were enough to break an army of one or two thousand. If you die in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City like this, it's a pity to be aggrieved.

After all, the situation is different from before, and the Demon Dragon Babu has listed him as a target that must be eliminated as soon as possible, and he must be eliminated at any cost. The masters used for this purpose, both in number and level, are not comparable to before.

His own soldiers formed a formation, or he could suppress two or three first-grade martial cultivators—but four, five, or more top marksmen were beyond their capabilities.

It just so happens that there are enough high-grade powerhouses around him now. Therefore, Li Shimin simply sent these people to the palace, and he and Shi Ben Wu Shashasa and others could also get rid of the burden. Take advantage of the high speed of high-grade martial arts to move around Chang'an City. This will be much more flexible, not only will it be difficult to be caught by the Demon Dragon Babu, but it will also be able to calmly respond in any situation.

And just when Li Shimin was looking forward to the result of Mei Huayu's torture. Tang Jian and Zhang Beidou entered Chang'an City with a group of people.

Among them, there are many masters, except for the nursing home hired by him in Jiuquanzhuang, the rest are the manpower of the Daxing Shenwei Dart Bureau.

Wei Tailai, the master of the Shenwei Dart Bureau, was also among them, but after this person saw Li Shimin, his face was flushed with a hint of blue and black.

Li Shimin naturally knew the reason, but he didn't pay attention to him for the time being, but first called Tang Jian and Zhang Beidou into his study.

Li Shimin first opened his Yin Yang Yuan pupils, glanced at Zhang Beidou fixedly, and then his eyes lit up slightly: "Your Eight Desolate Lin Battle Technique has been cultivated to the ninth level?"

He thought to himself that he was worthy of being a person who could be as famous as Luo Li back then, and his martial arts talent was indeed the best choice.

Zhang Beidou, who he saw for the first time before, although his strength was also very strong, the true yuan aura was obviously relatively stagnant, and it was not smooth and complete.

Obviously, during his seclusion, Zhang Beidou did not spend much time on martial arts.

And the way of practicing martial arts, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, at that time, Zhang Beidou's strength was obviously not as good as when he was in his heyday.

Considering his age, Li Shimin originally thought that this person, even if he worked hard in the next time, it would be difficult to make a big breakthrough in cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after he saw Zhang Beidou again, this Eight Desolation Lin Battle Technique had already entered the ninth realm.

As far as he knew, there were only twelve realms in the Eight Desolation Lin Battle Techniques, and after reaching the ninth level, there was already the possibility of breaking through to the first level.

Li Shimin guessed that it was probably related to Zhang Beidou's character, which was diluted and peaceful, tepid, and did not like to fight with others, which happened to coincide with his martial arts and martial intentions.

Eight Desolation Lin Battles - Don't look at the domineering tightness of this name, but the legendary Qilin clan, except for the blood Qilin, are all well-known for their gentle and easy-going personalities.

"Fluke!"

Zhang Beidou hugged his fist towards Li Shimin: "It's a pity that it has been abandoned for several years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve greater achievements in the future." ”

There was no lack of remorse in his words. But after Li Shimin heard it, he didn't think so,

Thinking that Zhang Beidou has lived in seclusion for a few years, I am afraid that this may not be an obstacle to him in martial arts, but it will make this one a blessing in disguise.

It is very likely that these years of pastoral career have allowed this person to wash away the fierce and vicious aura that he has obtained from the battlefield, so as to match the true meaning of the martial arts of the Eight Desolation Lin Battle Techniques, and he is proud to go further in the martial arts.

He then regretted that this person could only end up in the future.

After all, he was born as a civilian, although he got the top-level technique of the Eight Desolation Lin Battle Technique from He Ruobi. But Luoyang He Ruo's family, how could he come up with a complete exercise to decide?

Even if He Ruobi is generous, then He Ruoshi will not agree,

In the case that Zhang Beidou's foundation is broken, how can he go further on this foundation?

So Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then threw a pill bottle to Zhang Beidou: "This Nine Gods Yuan Ding Dan, you can choose the opportunity to take it." ”

——This is a top-level treasure that he scavenged in Luoyang, Chang'an a few days ago, which can help people improve their true yuan, it is an extremely rare elixir, and the price of beasts in the black market is about 230,000 yuan.

This time he raided the dark city of Chang'an, Li Shimin also got a lot of good things, he has not yet arrived, and he is willing to hand over all the harvest to the treasury.

And this Nine Gods Yuan Ding Dan is one of Li Shimin's gains. Originally, he planned to wait for his own use when he broke through the first grade in the future, and quickly improve his cultivation.

But now Zhang Beidou's situation made Li Shimin decisively change his mind.
