Chapter 122: The Hundred Horsemen
Tiance Mansion, or Tiance Army. It is a very special force in Datang.
In the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, defeated Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande joined forces and occupied Luoyang. Gaozu Feng has no seal, and the special official rank of Tiance General allows King Qin to open the mansion and build teeth.
Therefore, from the beginning of its construction, Tiance Mansion has been the most pure Tang lineage.
The lord of the mansion is the future Heavenly Khan, Tang Taizong. The officials are also civil and military generals who have gone down in history. The soldiers were also selected from the elite of Li Shimin's army in the south and the north.
It can be said that the original Tiance Mansion was a small court that integrated civil and military power.
But with the accession of Tang Taizong to the throne, the position of Tiance Mansion was a little embarrassing.
How Tang Taizong ascended the throne, I won't go into details, and those with a little historical common sense should know about the Xuanwumen Incident.
Therefore, Li Shimin will never tolerate the existence of such a huge force as Tiance Mansion.
As a result, the civilian, official and military generals were all promoted, jumped out of the small court of Tiance Mansion, and really danced in the court.
The elite soldiers also left, joined the Royal Janissary, and continued to defend their generals.
The hollowed-out Tiance Mansion has been preserved.
However, the nature has changed.
Most of the people who remained in Tiance Mansion were people from the rivers and lakes who joined during the war.
Tang Taizong was just afraid of a huge force that could influence the court, but he had deep feelings for the Tiance Mansion he founded and did not want it to disappear.
Under various coincidences, during the reign of Taizong, Tiance Mansion gradually moved away from the court and developed into a semi-official, semi-Jianghu force similar to Cangyun Army or Six Gates.
As an official force that has entered the rivers and lakes, the people of Tiance Mansion have always been in a very embarrassing situation: internally, they are martial arts people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes; Externally, they are the defenders of the Tang Dynasty government, and both sides respect them.
This is also the reason why Wang Qing felt weird when he saw their military camp.
Although the founders of Tiance Mansion have left, the organizational structure of the integration of civil and military affairs has been retained.
The soldiers of Tiance Mansion are not only from the rivers and lakes, but they have retained all the styles and habits of the army.
Under the leadership of the young general, Wang Qing came to a very remote corner of the office area.
A small courtyard that looks extremely inconspicuous from the outside.
But the words written on the plaque still made Wang Qing gasp.
Hundred Riders.
No emperor, or aspiring to be one, would despise the work of intelligence.
When Li Shimin was still the king of Qin and the general of Tiance, he established the Hundred Cavalry Division to supervise the world.
However, at the beginning of the establishment of the Hundred Cavalry Division, it was mainly responsible for military intelligence. Later, with the severity of the form of seizure of succession, it gradually began to turn to the monitoring of the imperial court.
But the foundation of the Hundred Cavalry Division is not good, after all, it was originally just a military intelligence organization. After Tang Taizong ascended the throne, he gradually found that the Baiqi Division was unusable, so he merged with the six doors that took the initiative to come up to establish the Dushui Supervisor.
This is the water supervisor who is well known to Wang Qing and these Jianghu sects, and the Tang intelligence agency that they hate.
Unexpectedly, within the Tiance Mansion, there was still the position of the Hundred Cavalry Division.
Intelligence department, Wang Qing retreated a little.
My identity is a bit special, and in this dungeon, he is a person who does not exist. Brother Yang Bao is like that, and he will be confused, but in the face of such a professional intelligence agency, it will be a little troublesome.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Wang Qing has access to a lot of confidential information in Kunlun. With the strength of one sect in Kunlun, he can figure out the composition of other sects, and even the progress of some core disciples' martial arts. I don't believe that Wang Qing is killed, Tiance Mansion, as a semi-official organization, will not have a roster of various sects.
But now it's too late to retreat. In the hinterland of a sect, Wang Qing firmly believed that if he dared to run, he would be splashed with blood on the spot within ten steps.
Wang Qing is ruthless, just a copy, I don't believe that the system dares to do such a desperate thing. Gritting his teeth, he stepped into the small courtyard.
In a simple and excessive study, Wang Qing met the intelligence director of Tiance Mansion, Leng Tianfeng.
It's not accurate to say that he saw it, the man's face was covered with a black veil, and the bag was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars and as sharp as a goshawk.
There was a sound of armor rubbing, and the young general who led the way didn't say a word, and disappeared after a military salute.
"Your name is Daoqing? Kunlun Kongtong Upper Courtyard disciple? ”
A gentle, deep voice rang out.
When it comes to this, I have to continue to perform it.
"Exactly, the name of the Taoist vulgar is Wang Qing, a new disciple of the Taoist generation, who has just come down the mountain and walked the rivers and lakes."
"Oh? New Teacher. No wonder you weren't mentioned in the intelligence. Can I have proof of identity? Please also forgive me, it is an eventful time and you have to be careful. ”
Of course, Wang Qing has the identity certificate issued by Kunlun, but it was hundreds of years later, and it was still a Zhizi generation, so how could he take it out.
But fortunately, Wang Qing has another way.
And pointed into a sword, and a purple thunderbolt jumped out.
"Zixiao Divine Thunder? Interesting, it's not like no one in Kunlun has practiced it for hundreds of years. No wonder your identity is so tightly hidden by Kunlun, it seems that you are a big man in the future. Okay, I read Yang Bao's letter, let's talk about the specific situation. ”
Wang Qinggan was anxious, but he didn't dare to show the slightest impatience. I had to describe the experience of the last copy again.
But he didn't want to, but he was still caught by Leng Tianfeng. It's really annoying for these people to engage in intelligence.
"So, did you use medicine to cure the poison of the Tianyi Sect? Your Kunlun wound medicine is not bad, I haven't heard of the detoxification has also made achievements. ”
End, retribution for taking shortcuts. Brother Yang Bao is a first-aid person, so he naturally won't ask about the source of the antidote. But this man is not easy to fool.
"Oh, Sister Qu Yun gave it. When I helped her before, I gave a lot, and there were a few left. ”
Wang Qing said deliberately vaguely. It's not a lie, it was originally given by the Qu Yun Sect Master when he cooperated with the Five Poisons to fight Xiao Yao as a child.
Leng Tianfeng is very good at looking at people, after all, engaging in intelligence is a basic skill. He could feel that Wang Qing was deliberately hiding something, but what he said was indeed true.
He was very good at association, and soon thought of Qu Yun's origin, the list of some Qixiu disciples who married into Kunlun, and the split incident of the Five Poisons, and soon, a story about being invited to help the Five Poisons quell the civil strife took shape in his heart. Even, he made up a rough idea of who left.
Well, if a disciple of a major sect intervenes in the civil strife of another great sect, it is no wonder that he has to hide and avoid suspicion.
Wang Qing didn't know the psychological process of this person, otherwise he would have to hug and kiss him.
"Okay, Shaoxia Gudao is enthusiastic, Leng admires. We have been monitoring this Divine Army, and we have also arranged a lot of spies. It's a pity that the current progress is not large, and it has only been found out that it has a big plan. But..."
Leng Tianfeng hesitated a little.
The current information points to two places. One is Nanzhao, Tianyi Sect is no more than a small sect in the borderlands, and there are five poisons to watch, it is difficult to become a threat. However, although Nanzhao is a small country, intelligence shows that there have been frequent actions recently. If the Shence Army colludes with Nanzhao, it must be a big conspiracy.
The second is Shaolin. These Jialan monks colluded with the Shence Army, and their goal was Shaolin.
However, Leng Tianfeng glanced at Wang Qing helplessly. Letting this kid help Shaolin is tantamount to a fool's dream. Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has not become white-hot, it has also continued to make small moves.
Leng Tianfeng deeply doubted that if this kid understood the inside story, he would really dare to turn around and help Jialan Monk Yin Shaolin. This kind of thing, both sides have a lot of black history.
