The adjacent corner of the Great Xia Imperial Palace is the location of the most mysterious Yamen Investigation Division in Great Xia. Unlike other government offices, the Detective Division does not look like an official yamen at all, but rather a deep boudoir compound. The tall courtyard wall and narrow gate of the palace, coupled with the close proximity to the palace, make this palace full of mystery.

In addition to the Investigation Division, Zhou Hu led the vine armor guards and crossbowmen to lay out the formation. Seeing the raging fire in the Investigation Division, Zhou Hu did not order a rescue. This sensitive moment suddenly caught fire, and the fool knew that it was deliberate. As long as no one from the Prosecution Division rushes out, even if it burns it out, he won't feel distressed.

After a while, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue led the forbidden army to arrive. Zhou Hu saw it and hurriedly walked over.

"Duan Shuai, the fire in the Investigation Department is very fierce, but no one has rushed out so far."

"Where's Azhu?" Duan Lang asked.

As soon as she got here, she left on her own, perhaps to the back wall. Duan Shuai rest assured, I have already told the fourth sister to be more careful. ”

"That old ghost Huai is not an ordinary person, I hope Azhu can deal with it. Someone, enter the Investigation Division. In case of resistance, shoot and kill. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he glanced back at Mingyue of Tangtai, "Mingyue, you stay first, and let Xiangtian protect you." ”

"Lang, I'd better follow you. Don't forget that I have also been practicing martial arts with Master for many years, and I will be fine with you. Yutai Mingyue said pleadingly.

"Okay, Xiangtian, you are responsible for protection. Others, etc., come with me. Duan Lang said as he raised his sword and rushed forward with his horse.

The door of the Detective Division's office was wide open, but it was not closed, and there was no one to guard it. When Duan Lang led people to rush in, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

In the courtyard of the Investigation Division, there were about 5,000 detectives of the Investigation Division wearing blackfish suits, and they were neatly lined up. But they had no weapons in their hands, and even the formations they lined up were in parade formations.

Duan Lang frowned, and said loudly, "In the next Duan Lang, I have come to the Investigation Department to put out the fire on the orders of His Majesty Delong. What about you, Lord Huai? ”

A person walked out of the queue, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "I'll wait for the detective of the Investigation Division, and wait for General Duan's dispatch." ”

Duan Lang was stunned, "Waiting for my dispatch?" What do you mean, you Huai-sama? ”

"General Qiyu, my Lord Huai and all the admirals~ have set themselves on fire in the main hall."

"Self-immolation?" Duan Lang was startled, and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

After Duan Lang finished arranging, he asked again, "Who are you?" ”

"Returning to the general's words, under the investigation division of thousands of households Yang Li. These people behind me are all low-level government agents. Lord Huai instructed us to listen to the holy decree here, and then led the others to enter the main hall and close the temple door, and then ~ a raging fire was ignited. ”

Duan Lang's eyes narrowed when he heard this, "How many detectives do you have in the Investigation Division?" ”

"General Hui, there are more than 7,000 registered personnel in Kyoto."

"There are more than 7,000 people, and you can only see about 5,000 here. Could it be that Lord Huai died with more than 2,000 people? ”

"The general doesn't know that in recent months, my family has sent a lot of secret agents to the foreign office. There were more than 200 people who entered the main hall with the adults. Yang Li replied.

Duan Lang looked at the thousands of mansion detectives, thought for a while and ordered, "Zhou Hu, you lead some soldiers and horses and accompany them to the forbidden military camp." ”

"No!" Zhou Hu agreed, transferred the vine armor guard out, and led these detective divisions to the forbidden army camp.

Duan Lang knew a little bit about the situation of the Investigation Division from Li Jianshankou, and he knew that these government agents were also divided into three, six, nine and ranks, and they were strictly hierarchical, and these low-level government agents would not know many real secrets. Rather than let them stay here, it is better to be taken to the forbidden military camp for the time being. Anyway, they don't have many people, and even if they make trouble on the way, they can't make any waves.

As soon as the detectives of the Investigation Department left, everyone was busy putting out the fire. Duan Lang looked at Lantai Mingyue and asked, "Yue'er, do you believe that the old ghost Huai will set himself on fire?" ”

Yutai Mingyue sneered, "I'm afraid the ghosts won't believe it." There should be a secret passage in this hall. ”

"Yes, if he can self-immolate, he will not betray Emperor Yuning. The old ghost knew that he couldn't evade the search of Kyoto with many government detectives, and only took away a few elite descendants, but it was not easy to leave traces. ”

As the two were talking, they saw Zhou Guangji and A Zhu enter the courtyard. After the school was calmed down, Zhou Guangji evacuated with the shadowers. In the name of letting them be the guards in each mansion, follow Mingyue to come to the rescue. Before the identity of the filmmaker was revealed, it was inconvenient for Zhou Guangji to expose himself too much in front of the ministers.

"Uncle Zhou, why are you here too?" Mingyue asked.

"Azhu was alone, I didn't feel at ease, so I went outside the back wall. However, the fire here is so big, and there is no one to escape from the back wall, so it seems that there should be other passages in here. Zhou Guangji said.

"Uncle Zhou, Mingyue and I think the same way. It seems that the only way to look for it is to put out the fire. Li Jianshan said that the Investigation Department is highly hierarchical, and low-level government detectives should not know about such secrets. Duan Lang said.

Zhou Guangji looked at the burning mansion with deep eyes, and he really wanted to meet the mysterious Lord Huai. But Lord Huai's whereabouts are uncertain, and Zhou Guangji always misses the opportunity to meet him. It's good now, the other party actually came to a fire escape.

Duan Lang looked at Zhou Guangji's anxious appearance and said with relief, "Uncle Zhou, don't be anxious, even if Old Ghost Huai gets out temporarily, his true face will soon be known." There is information about him in the Emperor's Secret Room, and now that Delong has officially ascended the throne, I implore me to go to the Emperor's Secret Vault when I go back, and I believe that Delong will agree. ”

Zhou Guangji sighed, "For so many years, the old man just wants to know who betrayed the lord back then. If this old ghost Huai is really one of the ghost guards back then, even if he hides in the corner of Tianyan, the old man will dig him out. ”

Duan Lang nodded silently, the hatred of the extermination, why didn't he want to know the truth behind the scenes. Now the death of the enemy of the year, even Yu Ban has become a prisoner under the stairs, but it is the deepest hidden ghost of the year.

The fire burned for more than an hour before it was extinguished, and the entire hall and the houses connected to the backyard were almost completely burned. Looking at the mess, Duan Lang knew that it would probably take a day or two to clean it up. In desperation, Duan Lang had no choice but to leave the soldiers and horses here to clean up. Tantai Mingyue and Azhu returned to the mansion, while Duan Lang went to the palace to restore his life.

With Delong's accession to the throne, Kyoto is temporarily stable, but there are still many thorny issues to be resolved. In Kyoto, Delong needed to consult with Wu Guangguang, Wang Shidu and other important ministers to deal with the guilt of Yu Ban and others. Outside of Kyoto, what worries Delong even more is the 200,000 troops at Shimoseki. Sun Gang did not follow Delong's instructions, although he did not help Yu Ban, but this loyal city has been shattered. Delong feared that if Sun Gang rebelled against him in fear of crime, it would be a disaster for the whole of Kyoto.

In the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Delong sat in the position where Emperor Yuning once sit, looking at Wu Guangguang and other important ministers, his heart was quite surging. In the morning, he was still a prisoner in the city defense camp, but in the evening he became the new emperor of Great Xia. This change made Delong's excited body a little uncomfortable.

Duan Lang came to restore his life, and when he learned that Lord Huai and a few elites of the Investigation Division had disappeared, Delong didn't care too much about it. For him, a mere Huai Lord can't set off any storms, and the most important thing now is the soldiers and horses at the lower pass.

"Duan Lang, it just so happened that you came back, after discussing with a few Aiqing just now, the disposal of Yu Ban and others will be tried by Wu Aiqing and the three halls of Dali Temple of the Criminal Department. The most important thing now is what to do with Sun Gang at the next pass? I want to hear your thoughts. Delon asked.

Duan Lang thought for a while, "Your Majesty, at present, Kyoto has just stabilized, and Sun Gang's side can only be appeased, not excessive." ”

"I think so too, but I can't leave the soldiers and horses to him anymore. The 200,000-strong army was very close to Kyoto, and if there was a dissent, there would be no soldiers and horses in Kyoto who could resist. Even if I don't hold Sun Gang accountable, this military power must be taken back. ”

"Your Majesty, now that you have taken back your military power, I'm afraid that Sun Gang will be uneasy. What if he doesn't surrender his military powers? Now Yan Facheng in the Southern Theater doesn't know what will happen, and once he forces Sun Gang, he is afraid that he will take risks. ”

"Duan Lang, the military power must be taken back, this is my bottom line. So, I'm going to send you to persuade you. Rest assured, I will give you a holy decree, and if you promise him something, I will definitely agree. But it must be guaranteed that the power of the troops and horses will be handed over. ”

Duan Lang was stunned, he didn't expect Delong to arrange it like this, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go." It's not that Duan Lang is afraid, it's just that I once had a holiday with that Sun Gang. I tried to persuade it, and it might backfire. ”

Prince Hong said, "Duan Lang, I'm afraid this matter is none other than you. You must know that today, apart from His Majesty Delong, your assurances and promises are the most convincing. If you change to someone else, I'm afraid it won't be enough for this weight. ”

When Prince Hong said this, Duan Lang couldn't help but scratch his head a little. The affairs of Kyoto Huai-sama have not yet been seen, and it will take him six or seven days to come and go. Just as Duan Lang didn't know whether to refuse or not, he listened to He Lianjia get up and say.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accompany General Duan to go with you. That Sun Gang and the minister still have some friendship, although Yushan Pass is a little unhappy, but after all, everyone once belonged to the same northern camp. If I go, I believe that Sun Gang will give some thin noodles. ”

"Good! Then it was decided, and He Aiqing went with him, just to temporarily take over the military power. DeLong said happily.

Duan Lang saw it, so he had to nod helplessly and take the errand. After all, Delong had just ascended the throne, and his tough opposition was also suspected of disrespect.

Delong consulted with everyone overnight and tentatively decided on the candidates for several important ministers. He Lianjia assisted me with merit and took over the military department as a matter of course. Wu Guangguang raised his eyebrows even more and succeeded Yu Ban as Xiangguo. Chu Baoxiong's position as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was taken over by Fan Cheng. As for the great exploits of the generals in the west, it has not been decided for the time being after discussion, and it is planned to wait for Duan Lang to come back and discuss it.

It wasn't until late at night that Duan Lang walked out of the palace. Just as Duan Lang was confused and didn't know where to go, he found that Zhou Long had been waiting for him outside the palace. It turned out that Mingyue and the others had gone to the Heavenly Master Hall and specially asked Zhou Long to pick up Duan Lang. After all, Zhou Guangji's mansion is a gathering place for filmmakers, and it is inconvenient for Duan Lang to move in publicly.

In the Heavenly Master Palace, Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming and asked strangely, "Why didn't you go to the palace to discuss matters?" Why, it can't be that Delon didn't let you participate. ”

"He dares, Lao Tzu hasn't slept well in the past two days, so he doesn't bother to care about their. How about it, what reward does Delong have for the people of our Lidu City? Zhang Ruming asked half-leaning on the meditation couch.

Duan Lang looked at Zhou Guangji, Mingyue and the others, and told him what he was going to persuade Sun Gang. Duan Lang thought that Mingyue would be surprised or objected, but he didn't expect Mingyue to say very calmly.

"In fact, you are the most suitable person, Sun Gang may not believe in Delong, but he definitely believes in your promise. As long as you dare to guarantee that after he releases his military power, he will still be reused, and Sun Gang will never embarrass you. However, Yan Facheng in the Southern Theater of Operations is probably a little difficult. ”

"Mingyue, will there be any danger?" Zhou Guangji asked uneasily.

"Don't worry, if Sun Gang had the guts, he wouldn't stand still. If he had taken refuge in the ban, wouldn't it have been a greater credit to directly lead troops into Beijing. Dezhang and Yu Ban will at least give him the position of the head of the battalion. The reason why Sun Gang did not move was because he wanted not to offend both. Just give him a step, and he will hand over the military power. ”

As soon as Yutai Mingyue analyzed, Duan Lang thought that this was indeed the case, it seemed that Sun Gang just wanted to spend the second half of his life in peace, and he didn't want to put his life on top of the unknown ending. It seems that he is really on the right track.

The thrilling day came to an end, and Duan Lang's trip to Kyoto finally put Delong on the throne. While everyone was dragging their tired bodies to sleep, a group of people were nervously discussing in an inconspicuous courtyard in the northwest of Kyoto.

This is an extremely confidential prison in the Detective Division's hall, and there is a secret passage in the Division's main hall. It was this passage that escaped Azhu's tracking. Lord Huai took more than 200 elites of the lineage and quietly hid in this secret prison.

In the room, the candle was lit, and the green scarf covered his face, Lord Huai, listened to the detailed report of a secret agent. This person's external identity is the standard of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he is actually the team secretly cultivated by Lord Huai.

Knowing the details of the situation in the school grounds, Lord Huai closed his eyes slightly, and finally sorted out the myriad things. In the final analysis, it was still that Duan Lang, and his appearance ruined the entire overall situation.

"The speed of this person's rise is beyond the old man's expectations. If this person doesn't kill, he will eventually become a problem for the old man. Send the order down and pay close attention to all of Duan Lang's whereabouts. In addition, Liu Shenyu led the others to evacuate Kyoto first and go to the secret camp of Melan Mansion to assemble. From now on, everyone will be transformed, and our Tingfeng Pavilion will be officially operational. ”

Lord Huai has long been operating secretly, and the secret offices in various parts of the Investigation Department have also mobilized a large number of elite forces. The Tingfeng Pavilion established by him will become the most well-informed intelligence agency in the five countries of the world. In order to establish the Tingfeng Pavilion, he did not hesitate to betray Emperor Yuning and received a large sum of silver taels from Yu Ban.

Kyoto was no longer the place where Lord Huai would stay, but before leaving, Lord Huai was ready to kill Duan Lang with his own hands. I don't know why, he always feels that Duan Lang is not dead, and one day he will die in Duan Lang's hands.
