Zhou Guangji glanced at it with a deep look, and with a slight hint, Zhou Wu and Zhou Hu quickly surrounded Li Jianshan left and right.

When Li Jianshan saw it, he quickly hung the bow and crossbow on his waist, waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to help you." ”

Duan Lang hesitated for a moment and motioned to Zhou Wu and the others not to make a move. Duan Lang asked, "Brother Li, why did you come here?" ”

Li Jianshan smiled bitterly, "It's not our adult, who ran to my room in the middle of the night last night and coerced me to follow you secretly today." Fortunately, I'm here, and the Zhanfeng War Horse is a famous horse in Kyoto. If I don't hide here and give him the final blow, the horse will surely carry him back to the forbidden camp. Li Jianshan said, jumping off the branch.

Duan Lang was stunned, "Zhang~ Shangguan Xuanwu told you?" ”

Li Jianshan nodded, "To be honest, as soon as I heard that your kid was going to kill the military plane, I was so scared that I wanted to go to the secret report last night." But after thinking about it, we lived and died together after all, so I decided to help you. ”

"Help me kill the military plane, this is a capital crime, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"Lord Shangguan said, Zhan Feng is a person from the court, and you are your own person. Zhanfeng died and someone would give him a bereavement pension, and if you died, everyone would be very distressed. It doesn't matter who you are, all I know is that you are a brother who has lived and died with me, and that's enough. Li Jianshan smiled faintly.

Duan Lang looked at Zhou Guangji, a little embarrassed in his heart, but he still nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Li, this favor, brother has written it down." ”

Zhou Guangji said in a deep voice, "Duan Lang, sometimes soft-heartedness will bring terrible consequences to yourself. ”

Zhou Guangji was hinting at Duan Lang, this person must be eradicated to prevent future troubles, no matter what, Duan Lang's identity is too sensitive, if it is leaked out, Xiangguo Yu Ban and the Investigation and Defense Division will definitely not let him go.

"Uncle Zhou, I believe in him, and I will bear all the consequences." After Duan Lang finished speaking, he seemed to let go of the burden in his heart and looked at Li Jianshan calmly.

Zhou Guangji stared at Li Jianshan and asked, "Boy, do you know who we are?" ”

Li Jianshan nodded nonchalantly, "I know, isn't it the Shadow Artist, I heard about it when I was in the Investigation Division." So what, it's all the old yellow calendar in the first emperor's years. What's more, our Lord Shangguan also said that the country belongs to the Zhao family, but brotherhood is a lifelong thing. ”

"We're the court's criminals."

"I'm a member of the Heavenly Master Hall now, as long as my family doesn't think you are a prisoner, then it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Guangji still asked uneasily, "But you are a person from the Investigation Division, if you want me to believe you, then you can tell me what your name is Lord Huai?" ”

"I don't know where to go, and besides, just because I helped you doesn't mean I'm like-minded with you. After this incident, our well water does not interfere with the river water, so we should have never met. If you're still not sure, go ahead. Li Jianshan looked at Zhou Guangji with some dissatisfaction.

Zhou Guangji was about to say something, but Duan Lang stopped, "Uncle Zhou, I believe in Brother Li's sincerity. Don't talk about the rest, let's deal with it here, Zhanfeng can be missing, but it must not be discovered. ”

Li Jianshan also said, "This is necessary, and many people see Zhan Feng following you out of the city, you have to think about how to make this matter a good one." ”

Li Jianshan said, walked up to Zhanfeng's corpse, and pulled out his crossbow arrow. Li Jianshan was just about to turn over Zhanfeng's corpse to check what he was carrying, when Zhou Hu walked over and said coldly.

"I'll do it anyway."

Li Jianshan shrugged his shoulders, "I advise you not to get rich, you can take the silver ticket, but you can't keep the soft sword and armor on his body." Find a remote place to bury it, so that Zhanfeng's disappearance becomes a headless case. Otherwise, once a clue is left on the market, the people in the Detective Division are not vegetarians. ”

As Li Jianshan was speaking, the eyes of Duan Lang and the others suddenly looked into the distance. Li Jianshan looked back and found that a woman was riding towards him. Li Jianshan smiled, he was also curious about who this woman was.

Zhou Zhu spared a circle, thinking that he had thrown off his tail, so he rode over at this time. However, Zhou Zhu's horse queen actually led the famous horse that ran away just now.

Zhou Zhu restrained the horse and saw that Li Jianshan was slightly stunned, but Li Jianshan smiled and said, "Girl, next time you want to lure me away, it's best to sweep the horseshoe prints on the fork in the road." However, it can be found that he is following below, and he can be regarded as a master in this industry. Hey, how do I seem to have seen you somewhere? ”

Zhou Zhu snorted, "Nonsense, we've met in Yushan Pass." Master, why is he here? "Why didn't Zhou Zhu kill him.

Li Jianshan was stunned, and then remembered that Yushanguan visited the injured Da Fei, wasn't it the letter that this girl reported. At that time, he was so focused on the wounded falcon that he didn't care about the girl.

"It's you, why do I say it's so familiar." Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang as he spoke, and said in his heart that these people had been following him all along.

"Ah Zhu, thanks to Brother Li for helping to kill Zhan Feng, he ~ is my friend." Duan Lang said.

Zhou Guangji sighed secretly, since Duan Lang recognized Li Jianshan, he knew that it was impossible to kill people. But with such an outsider knowing Duan Lang's identity, Zhou Guangji was also worried about burying hidden dangers.

That night, at the south gate of Kyoto, less than half a pillar of incense before the gate was closed, I saw two fast horses galloping over. The guards guarding the city looked at it and shouted loudly.

"Stop, who dares to ride so fast when they arrive at the city gate, looking for death!"

"Bastard, I didn't see that it was Lord Lingzhan of the military aircraft, get out of the way."

After Duan Lang finished speaking, the two fast horses quickly rushed in. When the guards saw that it was indeed the mount of Lord Zhanfeng, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After the two fast horses entered the city, they turned three times and came to a remote place. Duan Lang dismounted and looked around and asked.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Jianshan, who was wearing a military uniform for the ban on the wind, jumped off his horse and pointed to a small courtyard next to him that seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, "There is a dry well here, and the horses and clothes have to be disposed of." Although this horse is a pity, it is also a last resort. ”

Duan Lang frowned slightly, "Brother Li, haven't you been in Yushan Pass, why are you so familiar with Kyoto?" ”

"When I was training in the Investigation Division, I killed this family. There are many vacant houses in Kyoto, and no one will buy a dilapidated house like this. Let's go, hurry up, Lord Shangguan is still waiting. ”

After Li Jianshan finished speaking, the two opened the tattered gate and led the war horse into this desolate courtyard. After a while, the two of them walked out of it.

In the Kyoto Heavenly Master Hall, Zhang Ruming has been praying in the main hall. Pretending to be a Heavenly Master for so long, it was the first time that he sincerely prayed to the gods to bless Duan Lang and not have an accident.

"My lord, Commander Duan is back and is waiting in your room." A black-armored guard came in and said.

When Zhang Ruming heard this, he quickly got up and ran out. As he ran, he muttered, "Thank God, thank you gods, I'll eat more delicious food for you when I get back." ”

In the room, Zhang Ruming looked Duan Lang and Li Jianshan up and down, and saw that the two were intact, Zhang Ruming breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said that you two are really uneasy, why did you come back so late, do you know how worried Lao Tzu is."

Duan Lang patted Zhang Ruming's shoulder gratefully, "Old man, just two words, thank you." ”

Zhang Ruming slapped Duan Lang's hand away, "Thank you, I'm afraid that something will happen to you and implicate the entire Heavenly Master Palace." It doesn't matter if you die, Lao Tzu still wants to live a good life. ”

Li Jianshan said with a smile, "My lord, it's thanks to me that I went today, otherwise I would really be able to implicate you." There were four or five of them, and they almost let Zhan Feng run away. ”

Duan Lang punched, "It's not all because your medicine doesn't work, it's also your responsibility to run away." ”

"Let's not talk about it yet, hurry up and get something to eat, I'm starving to death." Li Jianshan said, picked up the teapot on the tea table and drank wildly.

Zhang Ruming instructed his subordinates to get a few side dishes, and the three of them sat around the tea table. Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang with a mouth in his mouth, and he didn't speak.

"Look at what, Lao Tzu is now a prisoner in the imperial court, should he go to the secret report after eating this meal."

"I also use secret reports, so it's easier to arrest you directly." Li Jianshan said while eating.

Zhang Ruming patted the table, "Don't make trouble, let's get down to business." As soon as Zhan Feng dies, Yu Ban's bastard will definitely go crazy. Your Majesty has asked me to participate in this case, what do you say next? Yu Ban is really going crazy, should Lao Tzu avoid the edge for the time being? ”

"If you want me to say, then don't do anything, let's wait and see. As soon as Zhan Feng dies, I guess our majesty should also come forward. Otherwise, no one will be able to suppress the current state of affairs. Li Jianshan said.

"But if you don't make some movements, Your Majesty can't explain it."

"Confess to a fart, you're just afraid that you'll lose face. If you want me to say, then make the movement bigger, and dare to use the wind to show madness, let's directly besiege Xiangguofu. Duan Lang said.

Zhang Ruming pursed his lips, "I asked Fan Cheng today, and he said that we should dare to besiege Xiangguo Mansion, and the forbidden army can beat us to kneel down and call grandpa." Don't look at the black armor guards in Yushan Pass, they are honest like cats in front of the forbidden army. ”

Li Jianshan's heart moved, and he said, "My lord, in fact, Brother Duan Lang is right, we should indeed besiege Xiangguo Mansion." ”

Zhang Ruming's eyes widened, "Okay, if you want to be beaten, then you can go, Lao Tzu will never stop you." This is not Yushan Pass, there is any one in the forbidden army, believe it or not, our black-armored guards dare not put one. ”

Li Jianshan put down his chopsticks, "Don't worry, my lord, listen to me tell you slowly." Your Majesty asked you to participate, in fact, you just want our Heavenly Master Hall to be a bird. Without this bird, all the forces in Kyoto are waiting to see what happens, and it is difficult for His Majesty to deal with it. Now that Zhan Feng is dead, no one can mobilize the forbidden military camp for the time being. Let's besiege Xiangguofu, even if we shout a few words outside the door, we can be regarded as winning for the whole situation. ”

"If they can't mobilize the forbidden military camp, what should they do if they mobilize the people from the city defense camp?" Zhang Ruming asked worriedly.

Li Jianshan pouted disdainfully, "The black armor guards are all like masters in front of the city defense camp, and everyone is afraid of them except for the forbidden army." When the time came, the city defense battalion didn't dare to do anything in the face of the black guards, but the black guards didn't care about them. ”

Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang, and Duan Lang nodded, "I agree." ”

Zhang Ruming slapped the table, "Okay, since you both agree, then Lord Ben will start to find fault tomorrow, and when the time comes, if you dare not go to Dali Temple to listen to the inquiry, Lord Ben will order the two of you to bring people to besiege Xiangguo Mansion." ”

When Duan Lang and the others heard this, they all showed a look of contempt. After co-authoring for a long time, this guy didn't dare to come out at all.

Li Jianshan was full of wine and food, and left the room first. Duan Lang didn't leave, but looked at Zhang Ruming and said seriously.

"Didn't I warn you not to tell anyone about me? Why is your mouth so lazy? After all, Li Jianshan is a person from the Investigation and Defense Division, and I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of affecting others. ”

"Aren't I afraid that something will happen to you kid."

"Tell me what promises he made."

Zhang Ruming looked up at Duan Lang and said solemnly, "Life and death together!" Or become an enemy of Lao Tzu. Li Jianshan knew that he would not have any future in the Investigation Division, and it was useless to seek refuge with others. Even if he wants to use what kind of shadow artist you said to curry favor with Emperor Yuning, he is not qualified enough. This guy is a smart person, it's better to tie everyone together, even if he can't achieve something great, at least he can get a benefit. ”

Duan Lang thought for a while, "Forget it, after all, everyone has experienced death, even if he betrays me, this is fate." Dead fat man, I wrote down this favor, when will I return it to you, say hello. ”

"Look at what you said, our brothers are still seeing each other like this, just compliment me a few more words in front of outsiders in the future." Zhang Ruming smiled proudly.

"Look at your little bit of breath, okay, rest early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." Duan Lang said and stood up.

After a busy day, it was a quiet day for the ordinary people of Kyoto. But for the game of the top forces of Great Xia, an important chess piece was lost. Even Emperor Yuning didn't expect that the important position of the forbidden army that he had always wanted to change was quietly wiped out by the Heavenly Master Palace.

The next day, Zhang Ruming pretended to sit in Dali Temple all morning, waiting for the situation after Zhanfeng's disappearance. And on the side of the Heavenly Master Palace, the Seventh Prince Delong also quietly moved in.

After the early dynasty, as soon as Yu Ban returned to Xiangguo's mansion, Feng Zhun, the squire of the military department, came to his mansion. These days, Feng Zhun is relatively low-key, and everything is decided because of the ban. The two of them had been tied to a warship, and he couldn't get out of it if he wanted to.

"Lord Xiangguo, when do you say this day is the end? Now the court is not like the court, and it is like a vegetable market all day long. If this continues, sooner or later the Asahuna will be finished. Feng Zhun said indignantly.

Yu Ban's face was gloomy, and he was not having a good time in the face of the accusations of the ministers. Especially Hu Weilin's defection before his death made Yu Ban feel sulk.

"Lord Feng, the more chaotic the court, the more you and I should do a good job in our hands, and don't let people grab the handle. I think that Emperor Yuning's approach is a bit weird, perhaps, his body bones are really going to fail. ”

Feng Zhun trembled in his heart, "What's the matter, Lord Xiangguo suspects that Emperor Yuning can't take care of the government in the name of fasting?" ”

"Anything can happen, and you and I must be ready for anything. Prince Dezhang has not yet suppressed all the momentum, Xining Marquis Wu Guangguang and others are on the side of the eldest prince, if Emperor Yuning really has an accident, we must firmly control Kyoto. Yu Ban said heavily.

"At this point, Lord Xiangguo can rest assured, even if the eldest prince commands the three battalions of soldiers and horses in the Kyoto camp, without the edict of Emperor Yuning, they will not send a single soldier. If you want to control Kyoto, you can only use the forbidden military camp and the city defense camp to show the wind. However, Kyoto is easy to control, but what happens after the control? It is difficult to say whether Prince Dezhang will be able to get the support of the four camps after he ascends the throne. At the very least, the southern battalion controlled by the Marquis of Xining would not obey the dispatch of Prince Dezhang. And the northern camp is currently in the hands of Ma Ru. After this Great Xia, I really don't know who has the final say. Feng Zhun said with a lament.

"Let's deal with the current matter first, I've already sent someone to ask Zhan Feng to come over, let's discuss how to deal with the sudden abnormal situation."

Feng Zhun nodded, he knew that the abnormal situation that Yu Ban was talking about was the sudden death of Emperor Yuning. If that situation really occurs, I'm afraid the entire Great Xia will be in chaos for a while.

Yu was grounded and waited all morning, and he didn't wait for the appearance of Zhanfeng. The people who sent it came back and said that Zhan Feng had not returned to the forbidden military camp since he went out yesterday. At first, Yu Ban didn't care, but in the afternoon, when Shen Shi didn't see any trace of Zhanfeng, Yu Ban began to get anxious. Gao Zhizan, the big official of Xiangguo Mansion, almost scattered half of the manpower of Xiangguo Mansion, and there was no trace of Zhanfeng.

That night, Yu Ban sat on the main hall and listened to reports from his subordinates from time to time. I have searched all the capitals, but there is no news of the exhibition. At this moment, Yu Ban really couldn't sit still. He knew that Zhan Feng was calm and calm, and the discipline of the forbidden military camp was strict, even if he was ordered to go out and not return, he had to record the case with the clerk.

Gao Zhizan hurriedly walked in, "Xiangye, the old servant has already found out, after Zhan Feng was transferred out of the forbidden military camp by Shangguan Heavenly Master with Shang Fang's sword yesterday, he never went back. Moreover, the people in the city defense camp said that Zhan Feng followed Duan Lang, the commander of the Heavenly Master Palace, out of the city gate, and did not return until the evening was closed. Perhaps the disappearance of Lord Zhan is related to the Heavenly Master Palace. ”

"Heavenly Master Palace?" Yu Ban's eyes gathered, now the Heavenly Master Hall almost represents the authority of Emperor Yuning, if the Heavenly Master Hall really does something, could it be ~?

Yu Ban stood up with a shock in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Zhan Feng is his safe reliance in Kyoto, if Emperor Yuning really pulls out this reliance secretly, then what will happen next, Yu Ban Toe can also guess. Yu Ban's face was a little pale, he thought that Emperor Yuning would use his body as an excuse to fast. But Zhanfeng's disappearance made him think of another result.

"Zhizan, you immediately order people to go to Xiadu Mansion, Chengyang Mansion, Jigang Mansion, Molan Mansion and Kale Mansion, and ask them to mobilize all the city defense forces and secretly assemble at Sheli Mountain, fifty miles away from Kyoto, and wait for the order of the Prime Minister. In addition, I have a handwritten letter here, and you can send the most trustworthy person to Xining City and hand over the letter to Zhao Li, Marquis of Xining. Also, immediately invite Lord Feng Zhun to come over, and then let the third lady enter the palace immediately, find Prince Dezhang, and say that I want to see him, and I must come out of the palace tonight. Yu Ban commanded with a nervous expression.

"Xiangye, is there ~ something big going to happen?" Gao Zhizan looked at Yu Ban in shock.

"I really don't want anything big to happen, but when it comes, we must prepare for the worst."

Gao Zhizan's face changed, "The old servant understands, I will notify all the deacons of the Xiangguo Mansion to come to Beijing to assemble secretly." Just because all the people in the vicinity are all there, there are also two or three thousand dark backgrounds. Xiang Ye rest assured, no matter what happens, the old servant will definitely keep Xiang Ye out of Beijing. The soldiers and horses of the capital that we have cultivated together have more than 100,000 people, which is not inferior to the strength of a large battalion. ”

Yu Ban was slightly stunned for a moment, and nodded silently, "Go ahead, invite Lord Feng Zhun first." ”

Gao Zhizan agreed and retreated, and in the hall, Yu Ban's lonely figure swayed slightly under the lamp and candle. Having been in the position of Xiangguo for decades, Yu Ban, who was thoughtful, sniffed out a murderous aura from the palace.

Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, Yu Ban didn't dare to continue waiting. Xiangguo Yuban, who had been secretly operating in Great Xia for decades, began to mobilize all his forces and prepare for a head-to-head confrontation with Emperor Yuning. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and under the calm night of Kyoto in the Great Summer, this surging undercurrent is brewing.
