Chapter Eighty-Four: A Gentleman's Heart and a Villain's Belly

In the hall, the eldest prince Li Jiazhen sat sideways on a bamboo chair, holding his sleeping daughter Li Youqi and his wife Babu in his arms. Gariqi was cleaning up the leftovers on the table of the Eight Immortals. And Wu Xingkai, the lean old man in a gray shirt, had already returned to the arsenal of the Guangmo Palace's weapons arsenal after drinking a few glasses of spirits, and talked with his swords, guns, and armor.

With a green tile on his head, a virtuous wife who is busy in front of him, and a daughter who falls asleep with a blush in his arms, Li Jiazhen, the king of Guangmo, feels that only ordinary people have that plain and true happiness.

"Thank God, so that the master who taught himself at the beginning can come to the north with him, so that we can also be teachers and friends to talk about wine and talk about the world; Thanks to God, I met the most beautiful girl on the grassland on the battlefield in the Northern Desert, so that we can hug each other and lie down to resist the biting cold; Thank God for allowing me to have such a daughter, she is the parent is a pistachio and a little padded jacket, even in the most difficult days, she can make herself smile. ”

A steaming wooden barrel sat at Li Jiazhen's feet, and a wheat-colored hand reached for his boots.

"What are you doing?" The majestic man asked.

"Shhhh Don't wake up Qi'er," the woman with a good face and figure put her finger on her lips and smiled, "Let Babu. Griki served her great man well. ”

"How does this work?"

Li Jiazhen had to stand up, and carried her daughter, who was still holding a wooden sword in her hand, into the wing room and put it on the bed. Griqi looked at him with her long eyelashes.

"Husband and wife should be equal, how can you take off my boots and wash my feet?"

"Ge Riqi has read in books that a good wife should take off his boots and wash his feet, fold the quilt to warm the bed, and teach her husband and children."

Li Jiazhen was amused by this dark-skinned woman, and he scratched her nose with his fingers, not knowing that she had nothing to do and what she saw from that book.

"You Babu. Ge Riqi is a woman from the grassland, and I, Li Jiazhen, am just a man who leads troops to fight in the north, and I can't learn the bad habits of big families in the capital. Let me tell you, a good wife is just a good wife who loves her husband and children. ”

He took her hand and sat on the bamboo chair together, took off his boots and washed his feet, he rubbed her feet naked, she also rubbed the instep for him, and then went out together and came to the big locust tree full of moonlight and snuggled up to each other. In front of her was a sparkling pond, and Li Jiazhen grabbed the woman with one hand and threw a pebble into the pond with the other.

Looking at the rippling water in the pool, he remembered the letter his father had written to him:

Emperor Jiazhen:

Seeing the words as faces, it has been fifteen years since the imperial city was separated, I don't know how the emperor is doing now? In the early years, I heard that the officials of the DPRK and China talked about your wife and children, and my father was very happy. I wonder if I am satisfied with the gifts I gave to Princess Ge Riqi and the little princess of Anping?

Thinking that when Wu'er left the palace, he was just a young man of fifteen years old, and now he is the king of the Northern Desert who has passed the age of standing and commanding an army of millions. Every time I think of this, my father is both relieved and sad, I am glad that my son is worthy of being a royal child, and he lives up to the holy will to guard the border of the northern country for Dajin, and the sad thing is that my son left home when he was young, and he endured the cold and heat but did not get the warmth of home for even one day.

The suffering of the emperor, the fault of the father!

In the past fifteen spring and autumn periods, I have never set foot in an inch of land in the north and have never seen my son, not because my father doesn't want to, but because my father can't do it, I hope the emperor won't blame him. The Emperor's House is not ruthless but just a familyless affair, everything I and you do is to make the people of Jinguo have a strong country, so that they can have a happy home. Only after our people have a happy home, when we go home hand in hand, can we be worthy of our ancestors, our people, and heaven and earth.

Therefore, this time the people in the palace are to spread my will to let you prepare for the war in the west, and the holy decree is that the king and the minister cannot speak of half of the family affection and need to obey the decree. But after all, I am your father, so I have this letter to talk about family life, first, to show the reason for sending troops to Rohan this time; Second, I will talk to you to relieve the pain of my father's longing.

Although the expedition to Rohan was a bit hasty this time, it was not uncertain, the situation in the south had been arranged, and the expedition would start in the north first, and the emperor still had a few months to prepare for the war and garrison the pass, and when the time came, he could cooperate with the southern army to form a flanking attack and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

I believe that you already know about my assassination in Hulu Gorge, and the emperor does not have to worry about his father still being safe and sound. There is no need to wonder about the Sacred Heart, I believe that my son will never do such a rebellious thing.

Although I have encountered accidents, I have also met several adventurers, one named 'Desert Lonely Smoke' has been named 'General Longxing', of course, I prefer to see him as my friend, I believe that one day he will lead the adventurers to create immortal achievements for our Dajin. Another adventurer is called 'Enron', and if it is not surprising, he should have also made it to the north. The Father wants you not to have a grudge against adventurers, although there are many statements and accusations directed at them, saying that they are devils who kill without seeing blood; The heavenly immortals who treat this world as a game, but we have to believe in them, there are good people and bad people in our world, and adventurers naturally have good people and bad people, and they are treated the same, we can treat the good people with sincerity, and the bad people can be eliminated.

The palace is still peaceful, your father's dragon body is still healthy, and your imperial brother Jiade is also filial and sensible, with the help of the prince and hundreds of officials, he doesn't feel any fatigue for his father. Your queen mother is in good health and gets along well with the concubines in the palace, and occasionally she will visit the garden with me to enjoy the scenery.

Woof! Everyone in the world says that the emperor is ruthless, but why do I think about it every late night. The father only hopes that the emperor can calm down the West and return to the dynasty as soon as possible, and at that time, you and I, the monarch and the minister, father and son will talk about family affection again, and the father and emperor are confident that they will be able to wait for that day.

Li Qishang

July 13, 32nd year of Jinhui

"Where does this letter seem to have come from an emperor?" Li Jiayu felt the sourness in his heart and thought, "This is clearly a physically and mentally exhausted old man thinking about a child who is far away from home, although the words in his heart are trying his best to restrain himself, but at the end it still emerges like a flood bursting the embankment." It is an indisputable fact that his father is old, and if the scene he saw in the mausoleum is true, his father is about to die, although he is only in his fifties. I know why you drove me out of the capital, just to protect me, not because I was afraid that there would be a battle for the heir, father! You know I don't want to be an emperor just like you. ”

He knew that in fact, the so-called peace in the palace was just that the water on the fire had not yet boiled, and the crown prince Li Jiade was really so filial and sensible? He wants to be really filial to why there was an assassination in Huluxia (the eldest prince Li Jiazhen does not understand all kinds of reasons, and thinks that this matter was done by the prince. If he is really sensible, why not learn how to govern the country well? Do you want to send someone to the Northern Desert to secretly observe him? That's why he, Li Jiazhen, will be Li Dabao! That's why he, Li Jiazhen, will personally go to understand the adventurer from the capital!

"Humph! Are you afraid that Lao Tzu will rob you of your throne? Wei Wuzi thought while gently stroking his wife's shoulder, "Guardian! Do you know that the imperial brother is tired of even being a vassal king, and he can't afford to be interested in the throne at all. ”

"Ge Riqi, how many years have you been here in Jiguanling?" He asked.

"About ten years!" She replied.

"Do you want to go back to the grassland again?" He asked again.

"Will Griqi still be able to go back to the grassland?" She turned her head to look at him expectantly.

"Of course," he said, putting his arm around her shoulders tightly, "one day we can not only go to the grassland to run horses and herd sheep, but also go to the south to farm and pick melons." ”

"But...... But......" she showed her snow-white teeth and her pretty face was slightly red, "Griqi wants to ride a horse here and herd sheep now......"

She looked at her husband with a teasing look, and her right hand slid towards his lower abdomen like a little mouse.

Under the moonlight, a famous woman with not white skin sits on the man's body and squirms back and forth, from time to time it will emit ecstasy ** and resonate with the insect frog in the pond, which is a woman on the grassland riding a horse and whipping. And the reason why this royal horse doesn't become an emperor or a monarch is probably because of her and her children!

******

Raindrops splashed on the iron armor, and hundreds of horses' hooves trampled the road to Luanshi City in muddy water. Wearing the golden 'dragon pattern armor', the desert lonely smoke straightened the reins with one hand and pressed the handle of the knife with the other, staring ahead.

This time he went to Luanshi City to collect food and recruit troops, which may be to kill people, because everyone knows that Zhang He, the county chief guard who is now in charge of Luanshi County, has actually been in name only, and the official with the eight-character beard has no real power, and he and his subordinate officials have become the slaves of adventurers, and they have taken a group of their subordinates to sit in the yamen lobby to announce news, deal with disputes, and deliver jobs for players, and have completely become a dispensable task NPC. And the one who caused this funny plot was the one who occupied the county guard mansion and used it as a gang station - Frost Leaf Lingfeng.

This hook-nosed man who was sitting on the mountain in Huaitao County to watch the tiger fight, and moved away the belongings of the Xiangma Gang like a sheep, was really as cunning as a falcon, and quietly developed when he arrived in Luanshi City with his own people, and quickly gathered a group of players to play for him by exchanging game currency and equipment with the funds he had in reality. He himself used silver coins and sycophants to make the county guard, who was born as a scholar, let down his guard, and then when the time was ripe, he suddenly attacked the county guard, turning the parents of a city into his own domestic slaves, and taking the entire Luan Shi City as his private domain. The 'Frost Leaf Gang' established by him now has hundreds of thousands of people, firmly controlling the large and small counties and towns of Luanshi County, both players and NPCs feel a pressure of the prosperity of the obedient and the death of the rebellious, it can be said that he Frost Leaf Lingfeng and the Frost Leaf Gang are the soil emperors of Luanshi City.

And at this moment, the desert is lonely and has to go to Luanshi City to recruit food and recruit troops? Isn't this the same as pulling a tooth out of a dog's mouth?

Therefore, there are so many more people around him, including the swordsman 'Ximen Blowing Cave' who has been serving as the helmsman of the Tai'an Gang in Xiliang City; there is the archmage 'Flexible Fat Man' who is also the helmsman of the Tai'an Gang across the lake from Panlong City and Zhongshan County; there is the warrior monk 'Everyone's Lady' who organizes and recruits troops in Huaitao, Aloe Vera, and Chen Ze Counties; there is the NPC Hao Qiye who is in charge of the dock of the waters of Wangyue Lake; and of course, there is also the NPC swordsman Tang Pei of the Imperial Sword Sect who represents the people on the mountain.

This team of men and horses can be regarded as giving enough face to the Frost Leaf Gang, if they don't have any weight, I'm afraid that only the desert lonely smoke will directly mobilize the entire Tai'an Gang army to suppress Luan Stone City.

"Is the material to Xiliang City going well?" The horses moved forward slowly, and the desert lonely smoke turned his head sideways and asked Hao Qiye.

"It went very well, Ma Yuan went to Zhongshan County before he went to the capital, and not only did he not get along with us on the waterway, but also took the initiative to donate a lot of materials."

"Hmm!" Da Mo Guyan nodded, "The country wants to fight, and it is the duty of every local official to prepare military supplies for the country, we adventurers can ignore it, but the local officials who are NPCs still have to listen to their own emperor's orders - how about the grain and grass reserves in Xiliang City?" ”

"The counties and towns have been fully collected, and the grain that Hao Qiye has transported from is about enough to feed the soldiers for about three months." Xiang Dong, who was wearing a white shirt and carrying the sword of Long Yuan, replied.

"When this batch of materials is collected, they will be transported to Ailao Pass together, according to His Majesty the Emperor's plan, the war in the south will start in the north first, the time is a little urgent, we must do these preparations before the departure of the army, you must know that the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first."

"Everything listens to my brother!" Xiang Dong replied.

"It's just brother...... I'm not pouring cold water," Gu Ping, the Grand Mage in a dark red robe, said worriedly: "The officials of other counties and counties are easy to talk to, but this Luan Stone City is now sitting in the Frost Leaf Lingfeng who has had a holiday with us, and he and his 'Frost Leaf Gang' may not buy it!" ”

"It's indeed a tough bone to gnaw," Da Mo Guyan frowned, "But Luan Stone City is rich in materials, this place has always been rich in iron ore, and it used to be the weapons and equipment depot of the Southern Army of the Jin Kingdom." The bows, crossbows, arrows, armor, swords and guns of the soldiers in front of the front are attrition in battle, although all kinds of war preparation materials can be seized from the hands of the enemy through the battle, but it is not realistic to do so without the support of the rear anyway, so we must take this place. Now that the country wants to fight a war, personal grievances need to be put aside, if he really doesn't know the general situation, then our Tai'an Gang has no choice but to attack Luanshi City for those magistrates who specialize in eating dry food and not doing things, I think this NPC emperor must also understand. ”

"Humph! The weapons and equipment depot of the Southern Army of Jinguo, such an important place, was actually occupied by a group of adventurers who came from afar, and it was not an exaggeration to cut them all down by these local troops and officials, and besides, didn't he Emperor Jinhui know about it? Left to chance? Tang Pei, who was also wearing a white shirt and carrying a long sword, said contemptuously.

Da Mo Guyanzhi tightened the reins again, he felt that it was not unreasonable for this cold and arrogant Imperial Sword Sect NPC to be used as a spear by his head uncle Ye Hong.

"It is precisely because Your Majesty knows about this that there is a 'General Longxing' who wants to go to Luanshi City to collect grain! Otherwise, do you think that the matter of a country's military material reserves will fall on a gamer who can only form a gang and cut monsters to upgrade? ”

He grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away first, Tang Pei just pursed his lips and urged the horse to run with everyone on the wet official road.

It's just that the world is always unexpected, when everyone arrived at the gate of Luanshi City, the man with the hooked nose had already led the gang and officials to stand respectfully on both sides of the city gate, they were extremely warm and welcomed their arrival, and Frost Leaf Lingfeng personally stepped forward to lead the horse into the city for General Longxing.

******

Back to the bow mountain listening to the wind building.

In Changchun Zhai, where the shade of the trees covered the small half-glazed tiles, Shangguan Qiutong rubbed the note in his hand and threw it into the incense burner.

There were seven people sitting on the mahogany chairs in the lobby, namely Qin Heng, the elder of the Xingwu Hall of the Dianxia Sect; Xu Ren, the master of the Xiuzhu Academy; Feng Qiyun, the squire of the military department; Hubu Shangshu Wei Chenghai; Frost Leaf Gang Deputy Gang Leader Funeral Flowers; The guards Ma Junsi Du Yu Marquis Chen Kui and Cao Jun, the son of Cao Libing, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone was staring at the note burning to ashes.

In the center of the two chairs is a square, dark red coffee table, where freshly cut tea is still steaming

"In the next invitation, all of you who are busy here really have important matters to discuss, and I hope you will forgive me for the disturbance!" The emaciated old man in a cyan robe clenched his fists.

"Hey~!, where is the lord of Shangguan Lou, it is incumbent on us to do things for His Highness, so why talk about it if we bother?" Cao Jun, who had a handsome face, said loudly.

"What Gongzi Cao said is very true, what does the owner of Shangguan need is what we say." The only player here, the snow-white robed mage Funeral Flower, smiled.

Everyone echoed, Wei Chenghai didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"I believe that you have all received the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been grounded in the Prince's Mansion by the emperor, I don't know what you think of this matter?" Shangguan Qiutong asked.

"It's not big or small," Feng Qiyun, the soldier of the military department, said: "It depends on what Your Majesty thinks, although Your Majesty reprimanded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being a civil and military official in the court that day, everyone saw that His Majesty's eyes were a little wrong, and later we learned that the prince was grounded in the Prince's Mansion, and all people from the outside world were not allowed to have contact with the people in the palace." From a small point of view, this is the emperor educating his son and making him think about it; In the big picture...... It's house arrest, and it's hard to say what the final result will be! ”

"There have been many similar situations in history," Xu Ren of Xiuzhu Academy patted the origami fan in his hand, "The emperor's heirs will generally be placed under house arrest before the evidence of the crime is confirmed, and there are three ways to deal with it after the evidence of the crime is confirmed: first, transfer it to Zongzheng Temple for processing; Second, the criminal department has been brought to justice; Third, he was not submitted to Zongzheng Temple and the Criminal Department, but was detained in the palace. And if the person to punish is the crown prince, the king must first abolish the crown prince in front of the ancestor in the royal ancestral hall, and then announce it to the world. Historically, Emperor Qing of the Heng Dynasty dealt with his crown prince in the second way. ”

"You scholar Hugh nonsense!" Although he was full of white hair, Qin Heng, whose body was still strong, waved his hand, "Our Royal Highness Corporal Lixian is sympathetic to the hundred officials, what is the crime of handling the affairs of the court and China tightly and orderly during Your Majesty's southern tour?" Can it be compared to those royal children who have made great mistakes in history? ”

"Brother Qin, don't get angry, I don't think His Highness is wrong, it's just an example." This well-mannered school master was not angry.

"Be careful! The Sacred Heart is unpredictable," Feng Qiyun, the squire of the Ministry of War, touched his goatee and frowned, "Just a few days ago, didn't our colleagues in the Ministry of Rites go to prison because of an accident?" Boy! After giving us a bowl of millet porridge that was difficult to swallow, the court beheaded the parents of a county. You still feel wronged, and it is very easy for the emperor to deal with anyone. Let's see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to the corporal of hundreds of officials and courtesies, what does the emperor think? Could it be that the formation of a party to usurp power and cultivate power? ”

"Shhh Someone gasped, if this is the case, it is not only the prince, but the future of their group of people is probably unpredictable.

"Wei Shangshu, Lord Wei," Shangguan Qiutong smiled and stared at the Hubu Shangshu who had not said a word: "You are the prince of the imperial court and the marquis of His Majesty, and your Excellency is deeply relied on by Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should this situation be handled?" We'd like to hear your opinions. ”

"There is no high opinion in the lower ranks," the half-hundred-hundred-year-old official in a high position gently put the tea bowl in his hand back on the coffee table, and then turned sideways to the sky and clenched his fists: "The conclusion of whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a corporal Lixian or a party usurping power is naturally up to Your Majesty to have the final say, and Rong Er and others speculate arbitrarily, if Your Majesty believes that the murder of the monarch in Huluxia was done by our prince, don't say that house arrest is afraid...... Hum! ”

Although he did not say the word beheading, who in the audience could not hear the sarcasm in his mouth?

"Lord Wei is too presumptuous!" Duyu Marquis Chen Kui flicked the hilt of the knife on his waist with his fingers and said coldly: "Although you are the head of the household, you can't open your mouth, our Royal Highness is loyal to the emperor, and the assassination of the king in Hulu Gorge was done secretly by someone in the north, and it has absolutely nothing to do with His Royal Highness. ”

"This official said that the killing of the king in Huluxia must be the so-called His Royal Highness the Prince?" Wei Chenghai's face was full of sarcasm, "And let me ask you Chen Kui, who is my Wei someone who eats Lu and whose worries should I bear?" ”

"Humph!" The man in charge of the forbidden army in the capital was choked up, shook his hand, and simply ignored him.

"Of course, it's the emperor's worries!" Shangguan Qiutong was a little embarrassed to see the scene and came out to solve the siege, "Don't be angry, the two adults are gathered today to discuss the situation that may arise in the future." He paused and stared at Tobe Shangshu with playful eyes, "General Chen is right, we are now doing things for His Highness, so our previous starting point must be considered for His Highness, to put it nicely, this is for the sake of Jinguo to have an enlightened monarch of the future, and to put it ugly, it is actually for the sake of everyone here." You, Lord Wei, are loyal and patriotic, and everyone looks at it, but the first thing to ensure is to have a loyal and patriotic life, otherwise I don't think I will step out of the humble house to be with us as a dignified Hubu Shangshu of Lord Wei, right? ”

Although he said this politely, there was a threat in his language, and Wei Chenghai naturally knew what Shangguan Qiutong was going to threaten him.

"Say it! What does the owner of Shangguan need to do below? ”

"It's very simple," Shangguan Qiutong had already walked in front of him, "According to the original plan, the military supplies sent and sent to the Northern Desert this autumn will be halved." ”

"That's all," Wei Chenghai immediately got up and looked at the thin old man, "No matter what happens in the future, you don't have to look for me, otherwise....... otherwise this official would rather be broken than destroyed." ”

Shangguan Qiutong laughed and patted Lord Shangshu on the shoulder, "Lord Wei, don't worry, this is enough, after that, you will still be a pillar of loyalty and patriotism in the imperial court, if Lord Wei feels that our next words are dirty, you can leave now." ”

"Humph!" He stared at him for a full three seconds, then walked away.

"This old dog!" As a military general, Chen Kui scolded fiercely, picked up the tea bowl and drank it.

"Will he snitch?" After all, Cao Jun was young and didn't know about Shangguan Qiutong's secret threat to Wei Chenghai, so he asked.

"Whistleblowing?" Shangguan Qiutong looked at the young man with a surprised expression, "Gongzi Cao, if your life is in the hands of the old man, will Lord Lingzun go to tell the emperor?" ”

The second son of this Hanlin University scholar, this young jinshi who thought he was full of wealth, looked at Shangguan Qiutong's uncertain eyes and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Okay, everyone back to the topic, at present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally unable to contact us, I think everyone also knows, if His Royal Highness really has any accidents......" He glanced at everyone with his eyes, "Including the one who just walked out, how many of our people will have a good end?" You need to know that we are all on this boat of Your Highness, and if the boat is blocked, we must all work together, and we must not wait for the story of the tree falling and scattering one day. ”

"I would like to listen to the arrangement of the lord of Shangguan Lou!" That's what everybody says.

"Should you move around with the court officials or move around - of course, there is no need for the kind of person who wants to draw a line with us because the prince has something trivial - but you need to be more careful than before, in fact, His Royal Highness the crown prince is grounded for now, which is a good thing for now."

"Why did Brother Shangguan say that?" Qin Heng asked, and everyone also showed doubts.

"At least the next things we do have nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, if the emperor just confines him to the Prince's Mansion and does not deal with it immediately, then it can show two points, the emperor does not feel that the killing of the monarch in Huluxia was done by His Royal Highness, he is not completely dead to his son, but just locks him up and cuts off contact with us, let His Highness reflect on it and put his mind on learning about the affairs of the court, he is still the best candidate to inherit the throne, the emperor just does not let His Royal Highness interact with us too much and cause criticism in the court, He will not easily stab His Highness's forces, because in the future, His Highness must have a group of loyal people to assist him when he first ascends to the throne. Second, the emperor decided that the Hulu Gorge matter was the so-called of His Royal Highness, but he was busy preparing for the border war and could not and could not deal with it immediately. From the first point of view, the emperor acquiesced in his heart to serve His Highness, so we will do whatever we have to do; From the second point of view, although the emperor does not allow the existence of a son who kills the monarch and us, he cannot get rid of us immediately, and he will definitely fall in the near future, so what we should do must continue to do. ”

"Shangguan Lou Master, why can't I hear that this is a good thing?" Funeral flowers asked in her usual crisp voice.

"How is it not a good thing?" Shangguan Qiutong asked rhetorically, "At least we know some of the emperor's thoughts, if His Majesty the Emperor has been holding back and secretly patrolling after returning to Beijing, and then once the war at the border is stable, he will suddenly be above the court......" He wiped his neck with his hand in the shape of a knife, "Your Highness, you, me, and all of you present who can escape?" ”

"yes!" Everyone suddenly realized, and a chill ran down their spines.

"Why didn't the emperor do this?" Cao Jun asked again.

"The reason why the emperor is doing this is not because he is not thoughtful enough, our emperor! It is a rare monarch in history who has an unpredictable imperial heart. He may have done this because he still had hope for his two sons! The emperor is also a human being, he also has his own flesh and blood, and the emperor can't easily cut his own flesh and blood until he has to! This time the grounding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it is said that the emperor is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to remind his son to restrain himself from the precipice; Or just expose the flaws and lead the snake out of the hole, and eliminate all the people who threaten you! Anyway, only the near future will know. ”

Shangguan Qiutong's analysis made the NPCs who had lived in the temple for many years and for many years nodded in admiration.

"Let's set our location for something next!" Shangguan Qiutong looked at the tall trees outside the door, "Listening to the wind building, everything else is poor, it is well-informed and hidden enough, the master of the Qin Hall, Mr. Xu, the deputy gang leader of the funeral flower, and the things on the rivers and lakes are still expected to move around a lot, and the other gangs, whether they are you adventurers or our people, can be wooed by all of them, don't underestimate this force, they will be our pawns to consume the enemy." General Chen, Lord Feng, and the two of them are adults who live in the temple, and the civil and military officials in the imperial court and the important positions in various departments need to worry a lot, especially General Chen, the person in charge of the Imperial City Forbidden Army and the Military Department Yamen is very familiar, if you can control this force, then at least in Jian'an City, Your Royal Highness will be safe and sound. As for Cao Gongzi and Cao Shi's nephew, Lord Ling Zun is unable to come because of official business, then you are representing the Hanlin Academy, walking around with those officials who compile articles, and you can use some extraordinary means when necessary, moral articles are the lights that guide the people's aspirations, and sometimes they are more effective than swords. ”

"Obey the arrangement of the lord of the Shangguan Building!" The crowd stood up and clenched their fists.

"You guys must be careful next," Shangguan Qiutong reminded, "If there is any news that needs to be passed back, you can hand it over to the doorman who listened to the Wind Tower." ”

He slapped his palm, and suddenly dozens of masked men in black clothes walked in from outside the door, Shangguan Qiutong walked up to one of the men, dragged his left hand and showed it to a few people.

"Everyone, I heard that there is a cross scar mark on the left hand of the doorman of the Wind Tower. These old men will be arranged near their respective stations, maybe they are men selling sugar gourds on the street, maybe they are beggars curled up in the corners, you don't need to recognize their appearance, just recognize the marks on their hands. What we said today is related to our life and death, and if things are unfavorable in the future, we need to fight a bloody way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"I don't hesitate to go to the soup for His Royal Highness the Prince!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"You should not stay here for long, so go on here! Forgive the old man for not being able to send it far away. ”

Everyone clenched their fists and left, and the secret meeting was over.
