Chapter Forty-Six: The Swordsman Huai Ruili
Truman walked out of the inn and was confronted by another person.
A long-awaited acquaintance.
There are few people on the second floor of a certain restaurant.
The two clink glasses and drink.
Drink.
Truman looked at each other and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
The man on the other side was tall, dressed in black, with a seven-foot sword and a hat on the wine table.
This person was the person sent by His Majesty the Emperor to protect Trumen for a month.
The first swordsman in front of the emperor - Huai Ruili.
"After leaving you, I haven't left Dongyang County, and Your Majesty has an edict to let me stay in Dongyang County for a few more days?" Huai Ruili said.
"So you didn't meet the person I sent?" Truman poured wine for him
"You sent someone?"
"Master Yan has come to our Yangzhou County, I will send someone to send him back, and bring some more people by the way." Truman explained as he ate his drink.
"Your Majesty will not be able to send someone to assist you."
"Why?" Truman was puzzled.
"Because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess won't let me." Huai Ruili said with a playful smile.
"This stinky woman." Truman's resentful way.
Pick up the flask and pour it frantically.
Huai Rui stood aside and smiled slightly, but he didn't reply, and he didn't get angry at Truman for cursing the eldest princess.
Apparently he was used to the former.
After a pot, Truman asked, "Your Majesty sent you, but what's the matter?" ”
"Investigate your superiors, the county guard of Dongyang County." Huai Ruili said without hesitation.
"But about taking bribes?" Truman remembered that the Qian family's backstage was the county guard.
"It's not just about taking bribes." Huai Ruili continued to drink, "He teamed up with many famous gentry in Dongyang County to do some people's tooth business, I don't know who revealed the news to Your Majesty, Your Majesty was furious, so he asked me to come and take a look secretly." ”
"Secretly, when you were drunk in the Immortal Residence that day, your identity should have been exposed, right?" Truman said with a smile.
Huai Ruili said indifferently: "It's nothing if it's exposed, they have already done their dealings, and there is only a dead end, so I will blatantly investigate, and they don't dare to do anything, only hope that I can't find their handle." ”
"Aren't you afraid they'll run away?"
Huai Ruili smiled slightly: "Where to escape?" Shu? Northern? These small countries did not dare to touch the majesty of the Great Jin. ”
"And they find a place to hide?" Truman asked tentatively.
Huai Ruili glanced at Truman and poured wine for the two.
He replied to the question: "Why don't you talk about it except for the character department, do you know how many people like me are around Your Highness?" ”
Truman thought about it carefully, and only after a long time did he say, "According to what I have seen, the father-in-law beside His Majesty should have good martial arts. ”
Huai Ruili nodded: "Father-in-law Gao, under the ninth rank, barely counts ....."
"The old man who followed the little prince...."
"Long Lao, the Shadow Department Tianzi Department is ranked ninth, and it is one." Huai Ruili drank his wine.
The shadow department is a hidden department directly under His Majesty the Emperor, which not only raises martial arts masters, but also raises all kinds of talents.
Those who can use drugs, rob tombs, investigate cases, even count, count money, fly kites, write poems, and the shadow department will raise one or two.
Truman entered the herringbone department of the film department because of "Water Tune Song Head".
So he also knows about the shadow department.
"And the one who sits on the roof of the palace every day."
"Mr. Yang, the seventh in the Tianzi Department of the Shadow Department, is also one."
"I've been in Kyoto for too short, and that's all I know is these three plus you." Truman said.
Huai Ruili shook his head and said, "What you said is only a tenth. ”
"There are fifty-three in the Tianzi Department, and among the ninth rank of my strength, I can barely rank twentieth, and above it, there are nineteen people whose martial arts are stronger than mine."
"Only twenty in the ninth class?" Truman was shocked.
"Martial artists are divided into nine ranks, and the ninth rank is divided into upper, middle and lower, and there is also the peak of martial arts called the grandmaster at the top, although there are many ninth-class people in the shadow department, but it is just like that."
"There are five grandmasters in the shadow department, and the martial arts, light skills, ear power, and eyesight of these people are no longer what we can guess, these people you just said want to escape, but they can't escape."
"Not to mention those guys from the Ground Character Department."
The Earth Character Department is different from the Heavenly Character Department, there are no people with particularly strong martial arts in it, but the information they grasp and its powerful intelligence network are enough to make everyone fearful.
The Tianzi Department and the Dizi Department are the reason why the surrounding countries are afraid of the Great Jin.
It is the reason why the Great Jin Dynasty has been prosperous for 50 years.
"It's been so many years that His Majesty the Emperor has extended his hand to this small county." Truman said indignantly.
Huai Ruili smiled and said, "It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to rectify these places, but he doesn't have the energy to be busy with these." ”
"You mean..."
Huai Ruili interrupted him and said solemnly: "Silence, these things are not for us courtiers to talk about. ”
Truman knew the importance of this matter and immediately shut his mouth.
After having a drink with Huai Ruili.
Truman smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you were going to investigate the business of the county guard?" We can start with the Qian family. ”
Huai Ruili glanced at him and said angrily: "You kid, don't think I don't know your thoughts." ”
"Okay, anyway, the Qian family won't be able to run away sooner or later, it's the same to start here, or from that easier place."
"Have you found an easier place to start?" Truman said in surprise.
"Of course."
"Hey, hey." Truman smiled and poured wine for Huai Ruili.
"I'm not very familiar with the situation in Yangzhou County, what to do, you will command."
"Good!" Trumen answered, he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "You didn't meet the people I sent out, so why did you come to Yangzhou County?" ”
Hearing Truman mention this question, Huai Ruili's face turned a little cold.
His eyes were fixed on Truman, and his hand slowly climbed onto the long sword on the table.
Huai Ruili said quietly: "When I received His Majesty's edict, I also received a secret order from the eldest princess. ”
Truman's face was a little drunk, and he didn't notice the change in Huai Ruili.
He drank his wine and asked, "What secret will that woman give you?" ”
Listening to Truman's words, Huai Ruili's handle had already touched the hilt of the sword.
Next, there was a faint sound like a ghost coming from the netherworld, which entered Truman's ears.
"Beat you."
As soon as these words came out, Truman, who was a little drunk and dazed, instantly regained his senses, and seeing that the former had already touched the hilt of the sword, he immediately picked up a wine jug and retreated five steps away.
It's as fast as lightning.
If he used this speed to fight this morning, he would be able to dodge any of Li Lianyi's attacks.
"Damn, you're not going to really do it."
Huai Ruili seemed to enjoy Truman's scared posture at this time, he laughed, withdrew his hand, picked up a glass of wine, and said: "The secret order is true, but I won't beat you, you know what I like, if you can't satisfy me these days, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
After Chu Mendong took a look, washed and looked, and made sure that he didn't see his embarrassment at this time, he hurriedly greeted him flatteringly, and said, "I know, I know, I am absolutely satisfied with you." ”
