Chapter 567: Unspeakable Hidden
Han Mo entered the courtyard and didn't say much, just paused slightly, glanced back at Li Gu, and said lightly: "You come with me!" He went straight into the main hall, entered his office, then opened the mechanism, entered the passage behind the wall, went down the stone stairs, and entered the underground secret room full of archives in the West Flower Hall, and Li Gu followed him all the time, knowing that he had entered the underground secret room, so he stood in front of the case in the secret room, without saying a word, like a stone statue. ()
Han Mo closed the door of the secret room, walked to the shore, sat down on the chair, leaned on the chair, frowned, and did not speak for a while, the air in the underground secret room was not good, and this silent atmosphere made the secret room full of depressive taste.
On the table, there was a group of iron arrows, dark and cold.
Han Mo knew that this underground secret room was where Xue Gongyan had worked at the beginning, and the arrows on the table were tokens for giving orders, and any arrows would make waves outside.
It's just that the arrows on the table have not been used very much, and they are even covered with a layer of dust.
Han Mo stretched out his hand and took out a Ling arrow from the middle, although the Ling arrow was not big, it was quite heavy, and it was cold to the bone in his hand.
"Don't take this matter to heart." After a long time, Han Mo said calmly: "Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?" In this way, it makes us more aware that there are always many eyes staring at the back of my West Flower Hall, which makes us more careful in the future. ”
Li Gu was expressionless and did not speak.
Although his expression was calm, Han Mo saw the burning anger from the depths of his eyes.
He had clearly suppressed the burning anger in his heart.
……
Han Mo stood up, walked to the file shelf, found the roster of the "Three Divisions", flipped through it casually, then put it on the file shelf, and found a very thin booklet in the shelf, then came back and sat down, and carefully flipped through the booklet.
The secret room was very quiet, Li Gu raised his head slightly, looked at the booklet in Han Mo's hand, a strange light crossed his eyes, and then there was an indifferent expression.
Han Mo flipped over for a moment, finally put the booklet on the table, and said calmly: "Li Gu, it is very clear in the archives that you are an orphan, when you were nine years old, you entered a training department in the West Flower Hall and began to receive professional training, your group of people was trained in Qikun Mountain, a total of thirty-four people, after five years of training, eight of them have passed the five-fold assessment in a row and became the official officials of the West Flower Hall, at that time, you were only fourteen years old. ”
The West Flower Hall is an institution engaged in dark affairs, in other words, the mission performed by this yamen is extremely special, and the mortality rate is also extremely high, and the West Flower Hall needs to be replenished with fresh blood all the time to ensure its strong strength.
One of the West Flower Hall has always been a logistics organization in the hall, and it is also the most important one.
It has four divisions, namely the Silver Money Division, the Equipment Division, the Pharmacy Division, and the Training Division for Replenishing Fresh Blood.
The silver money occasionally obtained by the officials of the Flower Hall engaged in dark tasks must be paid into the Silver Money Division, and the funds allocated by the Inner Treasury for the activities of the West Flower Hall are also handled by a Silver Money Division.
Needless to say, the Equipment Department and the Pharmacy Department are the two major equipment departments, and their main responsibilities are to develop powerful weapons and potions to equip the officials in the hall and make them have stronger combat effectiveness.
The weapons and potions developed by the Instruments Division and the Pharmacy Department are also unique to the West Flower Hall, and they must not be leaked, after all, many weapons and medicines developed are too destructive, and if they flow out, they will definitely cause extremely serious consequences.
In a way, part of the reason why the officials of the West Flower Hall were so frightened at the beginning was because they were equipped with terrifying equipment, which made them sharper when performing their tasks.
But in the final analysis, any yamen is people-oriented, so a training department is actually an extremely important department.
The recruitment of personnel in the West Flower Hall is extremely strict, and it is not easy to leave a name on the roster of the West Flower Hall and become an official official of the West Flower Hall.
The blood replenishment of the West Flower Hall mainly comes from two aspects.
First, it is some strange people on the rivers and lakes, they themselves have martial arts, more rich experience in the rivers and lakes, have the heart to serve the country, and take the initiative to take refuge in the West Flower Hall, this group of people is mainly admired Xue Gongyan, so they are willing to listen to orders under his subordinates.
Even so, if they want to enter the flower hall to become a formal official, they still have to go through a strict test, if they don't stand the test, no matter how good your ability is, the West Flower Hall will not be hired.
Another way of blood replenishment is the most important way to supplement the West Flower Hall, mainly to take in some orphans into the Flower Hall, and then organize them into a group to be trained by the professional trainers of the West Flower Hall, the training location is extremely secretive, distributed in some barren mountains and mountains in the Yan Country, and Qikun Mountain is one of the training sites.
After a maximum of five years of training, this group of children will survive the fittest, and the teenagers who have stood the test will be selected and added to the West Flower Hall.
This group of children has been instilled with the idea of allegiance to the emperor since they were young, so they are extremely loyal to the flower hall, and because of this, the backbone of the flower hall is composed of such a group of people.
Xue Gongyan has commanded the West Flower Hall for thirty years, and his subordinates have suffered countless casualties, but there are also countless blood supplements, and because of this, the West Flower Hall has always been standing.
It's just that since the death of Xue Gongyan, the East Flower Hall has risen, and the power of the West Flower Hall has plummeted, and the so-called four places have also existed in name only.
The four divisions of one place did not follow up and were in a state of stagnation, so that they could not supply blood to the other three, and the entire West Flower Hall was rapidly declining, until today, a training division has not officially resumed operation, although the officials of the equipment department and the pharmacy department have been in many secrets in the Yan country. The department began to resume research, but the training department was training without new blood.
……
At this time, when Li Gu heard Han Mo mention the things of the year, he immediately raised his head and looked at Han Mo, his brows were slightly furrowed.
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Han Mo gently stroked the thin booklet, and said slowly: "This thin file records your contributions over the years very clearly. He stared into Li Gu's eyes and said gently: "Since you were fifteen years old, you have officially carried out the mission, although you have only been with Gongyan for a few years, but the merits you have made are breathtaking. It says that you have survived at least six times and faced extremely tough enemies, but in the end you managed to complete the mission...... To this day, few people in the Word know your name, which proves that you are truly excellent! ”
The most successful dark officer is that he has done countless things, but no one knows about his existence, and such a dark official is the top talent.
"After the death of Gong Yan, you still did a lot of errands, and you were able to complete them successfully every time, and the most important thing is ...... You do things cleanly and neatly, and you never leave any troubles, let alone any traces. Han Mo touched his chin and stared at Li Gu: "It is precisely because of this that you have a lot of prestige in the hall, although you are very young, but ...... After all, it has become the main thing of the three places! ”
Li Gu finally spoke: "That's only because there was no one in the hall at that time, otherwise...... I'm not qualified! ”
"Don't be presumptuous!" Han Mo smiled and said, "Your merits are enough to qualify you for this position." ”
He was five or six years younger than Li Gu, but he behaved like Li Gu's elder, and Li Gu seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with this, although this young hall director looked young, but everywhere there was a taste of maturity.
Han Mo was silent for a moment, his expression became serious, and he said slowly: "I have read your record many times, but when I saw it again today, I felt very strange!" ”
Li Gu looked at Han Mo, although he didn't speak, but there was a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Han Mo said calmly: "How can such a top person be possible...... Seen by the gang in the underground black market? He touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The power of the underground black market, according to my heart, is not weak. They have a wide range of members, from three religions to nine streams, and even have their people in the government...... Their terrible is here, a force that cannot grasp the specific distribution of members, a force that hides the power in the crowd, but we cannot take it lightly. Speaking of this, Han Mo's eyes flashed with a different color: "But if you really want to talk about your ability to do things, the people in the underground black market will never be stronger than our West Flower Hall...... At the beginning, I agreed with you to go to the underground black market to find out information, the reason is very simple, because I know very well that with their ability, it is impossible to catch you with any tricks, and I ...... you There is reason to be confident! ”
Although Li Gu didn't speak, the expression on his face was not as calm as before, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he was obviously very uncalm in his heart.
"After half a month, they can grasp your whereabouts and take the opportunity to attack you...... I've always wondered, do they really have that ability? The corners of Han Mo's mouth flashed with a sneer: "A group of people in the market can arrest the three principals of the West Flower Hall, such a ridiculous thing, even now, I can't believe it!" ”
Han Mo suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, slowly walked behind Li Gu, stopped his steps, his face was cold, and he didn't look back, but said coldly: "Say what you think in your heart, why did you fall into their hands?" Why did they find you flawed? Why do they ...... Found your head after half a month? ”
The corners of Li Gu's eyes twitched, the muscles on his face twitched, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Han Mo sneered: "Don't you forget, the stone tablet in the courtyard, the four characters 'Gongyan Deguang', are still clearly engraved on it to this day!" ”
Li Gu closed his eyes, his two hands clenched into fists, the green tendons on his hands burst out, and his teeth were clenched
