Looking at Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun kneeling in front of him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was mentally beaten, and he didn't know why he always felt sleepy recently and couldn't lift his spirits. The Emperor of the Apocalypse also found that he was always prone to irritability and anger, and he originally just wanted to beat Luo Sigong and Wei Chao, but in the end he almost couldn't control himself.

Slowly shook his head, it may be that there have been too many things recently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse drove out the messy thoughts, and said: "One of the two of you is a talented person of Jinyiwei, and the other is an old man beside me, I still leave some things to you at ease." ”

Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun knelt on the ground, and when they heard the Emperor of the Apocalypse say this, they both knew that the opportunity had come.

Since returning to Beijing, Xu Xianchun has made a cold bench in the Jinyi Guard, and everyone up and down is very polite to him, but they are all estranged. Xu Xianchun knew very well in his heart that he was now the number two person in Jinyiwei, and he was not Luo Sigong's confidant, so such treatment was naturally expected.

Although he was dissatisfied, Xu Xianchun didn't dare to say it, although his status was very high, what he relied on was the value of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. But in terms of saints alone, Xu Xianchun felt that he was inferior to Luo Sigong. But at this time, there is only one way in front of him, and that is to move Luo Sigong away. Even if you don't have such a mind, others don't necessarily think so. There is no way back, so he can only move forward, and Xu Xianchun is not willing to be subordinate.

Cao Huachun's heart is even more unbalanced, he is the old man next to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been by his side since he was a child, and he can be said to be the closest eunuch. But since the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, these close eunuchs have not come out, but Wang An and Wei Dynasty have been in power. Although Wang Chengen and Chen Hong are also old men, Wang Chengen is a close attendant of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and this Cao Huachun does not dare to compare.

Ping Yueli suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, Cao Huachun couldn't wait for a chance to show himself, he needed to tell the Emperor of the Apocalypse that he was stronger than the Wei Dynasty.

"The minister takes the order!" "Slave to the order!" Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun hurriedly replied respectfully, but they couldn't hide the excited look on their faces.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, if you want the horse to run, you must feed the grass well. After thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and I value it very much. You do a good job, I won't treat you badly! He turned his gaze to Cao Huachun again, and said: "Cao Huachun, you are a close servant of the Son of Heaven, do a good job, the father-in-law of the celebrant is not young, don't worry." ”

The two of them were stunned, no one expected the Emperor of the Apocalypse to speak like this, this is no longer a vague way to tell themselves about the two of them, this is to explain the words. However, the two of them also realized that this time the matter was probably not trivial, otherwise the emperor would never have spoken like this.

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers should do their best, and they will die." Both of them had excited looks on their faces, and hurriedly kowtowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "This errand is my test of the two of you, I have explained what I said, and if the matter is done well, I will be rewarded." If it fails, you two won't have to come back to see me. ”

The two of them were shocked in their hearts, as if they poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they came to their senses at that time. No one was talking, all waiting for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to order, and success or failure was decided in one fell swoop.

"I sent the two of you to Shanxi and Shaanxi this time, and the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei were not allowed to call in. I will select five hundred men from among the guards, and you will each take half of them, and remember not to reveal your identity. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the two people with burning eyes, the expression on his face was very complicated, but his eyes were extremely resolute.

This time, the two of them were even more confused, what was this going to do? Could it be that the emperor wants to find out? However, the two of them didn't dare to ask, just knelt there and listened to the row that the Emperor of the Apocalypse took over.

"After you arrive in Shanxi and Shaanxi, there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to find out the situation in the two provinces. Whether it is officialdom or the people, whether it is in the public or in private, all of them must be investigated by me. As for the collusion between officials and businessmen, the army, and the matter of empty salaries, we must start to investigate. The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at the two men, waiting for their answers.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" Xu Xianchun didn't think this errand was so difficult to do, if he really couldn't do it, he wouldn't have to mess around. However, some things still have to be said in front, and some things must be prepared in front.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not afraid of doing things conditionally, but afraid of those who can't do things. As long as things are done well, some requirements are normal.

"Your Majesty, the minister and Gonggong Cao have no mountains and Shaanxi provinces this time, in what capacity? If you don't reveal your identity all the time, I'm afraid that many things will be difficult to do in a short period of time, I don't know how many hours the emperor will give to the ministers and Cao's father-in-law? The emperor did not allow his ministers and others to transfer Jinyiwei and Dongchang, I don't know for what reason? But is it because you are afraid that the news will leak out? Although he didn't know why, Xu Xianchun knew that this errand was definitely not as simple as it seemed, and these words could only be said head-on.

Instead of being angry, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and nodded, a smile of appreciation on his face. Being able to say these words is precisely because of his heart, as long as he works hard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not be angry.

"There is no deadline for this errand, and when I feel that it is okay, you can come back. As for when I think it's okay, it depends on how you do. Your identity, your apparent identity, you think for yourself, but in private, your identity is Qincha, and I will give you a holy decree. When it comes to hiding your identity, I allow you to do it cheaply. The people who don't allow you to use Dongchang and Jinyiwei are really afraid that the news will leak out. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun, and answered the questions one by one.

"Emperor Qiqi, as far as Nubei knows, Wulu is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, and there are secret agents in various places. These people all live as ordinary people, and they do not have any contact with Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who live in different places. It was Xu Xianchun who spoke this time, although the look on his face remained unchanged, but a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Whether it is in Jinyiwei or Dongchang, these hidden agents are the key to power, and these people are the most critical place in Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It's just that this list of Dongchang is in the hands of the Dongchang Governor, and the other is in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Jinyiwei is naturally no exception, one is in Luo Sigong's hands, and one is in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

For the list in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is very clear, these people are all Jinyi guards who were hidden on the spot when Emperor Chengzu was back then. The East Factory was placed in the local area after the establishment of the East Factory, and after more than 200 years of development, it has become extremely large-scale.

These people usually don't take the initiative to contact anyone, they live the life of ordinary people, being officials for the people, practicing medicine and selling, and having various identities. Some people only hold that token all their lives, but they have never done anything, and when they are dying, they pass on this mission to their descendants.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Cao Huachun with serious eyes, the expression on his face kept changing, and he naturally knew what Cao Huachun meant when he said this. It was nothing more than thinking that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would hand over the list of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces to the two of them. With these people, no matter what you do, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

After pondering for a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded and said, "Okay! This time, Cao Huachun went to Shaanxi, and Xu Aiqing went to Shanxi. I will give you a part of the list, and you can go to Wei Chaohe Luo Sigong, and they will give it to you. ”

Without directly handing over the list to these two people, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would not have done such a thing. However, in order not to make mistakes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can be said to have made a bloody investment.

Just heard Cao Huachun mention the list, Xu Xianchun's face also showed joy, but seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse groaning, Xu Xianchun felt that things might be self-defeating. However, hearing the Emperor of the Apocalypse answer like this, Xu Xianchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is a messenger this time, the minister is still afraid that he will not be able to handle the scale, please show the emperor!" Xu Xianchun said very vaguely, like Cao Huachun's straightforward things, Xu Xianchun would not do.

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "With five facial features below the third rank and civil officials below the fourth grade, Aiqing can be detained and interrogated, but he cannot be tortured to extract confessions." As for how to deal with it, Aiqing needs to fold it to me! ”

Breathe a sigh of relief, it's good to have some authority, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse only mentioned officials, but Xu Xianchun knew very well in his heart, and there was no need to say anything else.

"Okay, you all know everything, go down and prepare! The men are ready for you, and they will be waiting for you outside the city, and they will be out in three days. I will make you disappear as an agent and arrange a decent errand for you on the surface. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Minister, slave humble! The two of them didn't dare to delay, saluted respectfully, turned around and withdrew.

When the two of them went out, the Emperor of the Apocalypse leaned back in his chair, squinting and thinking. Is it right to do it yourself, or is it too time-sensitive! But at this time, we can only take one step at a time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't open his eyes, and asked lazily, "Is there something wrong?" If it's not important, don't bother me! ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was so tired, Wang Chengen had the heart to stop talking, but thinking of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's explanation, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi, a scholar of the cabinet, is asking to see you outside!" ”

Hearing that Xu Guangqi was coming, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, thinking of the matter he had explained to Xu Guangqi, could it be over so soon! Sitting up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse always felt that something was wrong with his body, but he still bothered and said, "Let Xu Aiqing come in!" ”

Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with some concern, Wang Chengen found that the Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was very ugly, and he was actually a little blue. I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and hurriedly said: "If the emperor is tired, and the slave refuses Lord Xu, the emperor should take a rest!" ”

Listening to Wang Chengen's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be a little moved, but he still shook his head and said, "Let Xu Aiqing come in!" I may be too tired, I have been too much lately, I may be too anxious. ”

"Your Majesty, let the slave go to the imperial doctor! Since the emperor feels uncomfortable, it is better to let the people from the Tai Hospital come to show the emperor, otherwise what will the emperor do with them! Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a pleading face on his face.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't seem to see the worry in Wang Chengen's eyes, waved his hand, and said, "I'm fine, go and call Xu Aiqing in!" ”

Knowing that he couldn't say anything, Wang Chengen got up from the ground and walked outside, looking back at the Emperor of the Apocalypse from time to time.

Xu Guangqi had been waiting outside for a while, and he was here today not for the matter of firearms, but for the apprentice he had just accepted. The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't care about Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng when he locked them up, Xu Guangqi wanted to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse what he wanted to do with these two people.

Although the time was not short, the look on Xu Guangqi's face did not show any urgency, and he had an indifferent expression. He knew that there were many things about the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so naturally it was impossible for him to see him as soon as he came.

Seeing Wang Chengen coming over, Xu Guangqi hurriedly stood up and tidied up his clothes, of course, this was not to Wang Chengen, but to the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was about to meet.

However, seeing Wang Chengen's expression, Xu Guangqi suddenly felt that something was wrong, Wang Chengen used to smile when he saw him, why did he become so serious this time? When Wang Chengen walked to his side, Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Princess, has the emperor summoned me?" ”

Looking at Xu Guangqi, Wang Chengen nodded slowly, hesitated slightly, and said, "Lord Xu, there are a few words that our family wants to say to adults, I hope you won't be surprised!" ”

Seeing Wang Chengen's worried look, Xu Guangqi also became serious, Wang Chengen was the closest minister to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and no one dared to underestimate this eunuch who was smiling and amiable.

"The prince has something to say, please speak!" Xu Guangqi was naturally no exception, looking at Wang Chengen with a serious face, and said.

"Lord Xu, the emperor's body is not very comfortable, and he has been busy all day today. When our family came out just now, the emperor's complexion was not very good, and our family wanted to pass the imperial doctor to the emperor, but the emperor insisted on seeing the adult. As an internal servant, our family naturally can't interfere in politics, and I don't know how important the affairs of adults are. But for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, let's make a long story short, our family pleases adults! Wang Chengen said that he was about to salute Xu Guangqi, and his face was full of sincerity.

With Wang Chengen's help, Xu Guangqi suddenly understood the reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse favored Wang Chengen so much, and his feelings for the Emperor of the Apocalypse were sincere. It's not for anything to cling to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but to really have a deep affection for the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Quite moved to pull Wang Chengen, Xu Guangqi said with a serious face: "The hard-working old man of my father-in-law naturally understands that His Majesty is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there is nothing more important than Longti Kangtai." The old man must make a long story short, and he will never delay too long, and his father-in-law can rest assured. ”

"Then our family has thanked Lord Xu, please come here with me!" Wang Chengen still had a sad look on his face, and he made up his mind to wait and find the imperial doctor.

In the Forbidden City, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was receiving Xu Guangqi, but there were people outside the Forbidden City who were anxiously waiting for news.

This is a small courtyard, located in the northern slum of the capital, except for the big willow tree at the door, everything is not very conspicuous. However, there were several people standing in this courtyard at this time, all of them tall and strong men, their eyes constantly patrolling around, and their waists were bulging, obviously carrying weapons inside.

In the main house in the backyard, two people stood by the pond in the yard, calmly looking at the fish in the pond, without the slightest worry.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?" It was a young man who spoke, holding a paper folding fan with a picture of the country painted on it, which looked like it was made by a master. The cyan silk robe on his body, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, sets off the temperament of the young man just right.

The man on the other side threw away the fish food in his hand and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be us who is in a hurry, you are the most anxious." The death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not good for us, we can't do anything with our current strength, and the benefit to you is the greatest! ”

Although he was dressed in men's clothes, he leaked his identity as soon as he spoke, this is a woman dressed as a man. Looking like he was in his thirties, he had a faint smile on his face, but there was a bit of coldness between his eyebrows.

"We are only cooperating, you hope to use our hands to rescue your holy woman, we hope to be able to kill the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Besides, once the Emperor of the Apocalypse fails, it will be the best chance to rescue your holy woman. The man seemed quite unimpressed, still with a faint smile on his face, and said, "But I'm curious, how are you going to assassinate the emperor?" ”

The woman suddenly raised her head, glanced at the man coldly, and said, "Mr. Fan, you don't have to worry about this, our White Lotus Sect has been able to exist in this land for so long, so we naturally have our means." This is not your grassland, you better listen to me. ”

"Don't forget, lady, I'm also Han!" Mr. Fan's body trembled, a black aura flashed on his face, and he said quite unhappily.

"Han Chinese? You? The woman seemed to be even more disdainful, not looking at Mr. Fan, and there was contempt in her voice that could not be concealed.

Mr. Fan seemed to be greatly insulted, but before he could speak, a sharp roar suddenly came from outside, followed by shouts of killing.

The two of them glanced at each other, both stunned. At this time, a girl in a pale yellow dress ran over, with an anxious look on her face, and said, "The officers and soldiers are here!" ”

Mr. Fan and the woman were all shocked, and the woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Follow me!" As he spoke, he ran briskly into the back room.

Outside, Wei Chao, the governor of Dongchang, and Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, stood together, looking at the small courtyard in front of them with a serious face.
