Suddenly, Long Tao's mind was racing.

Before he came to Beijing, he used the Northern Shengong to hurt people, with Zhu Yuanzhang's intelligence ability, he could naturally easily find out, and even Shan Yuru's intelligence came from the Heavenly Mandate Sect disciples lurking around Zhu Yuanzhang.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that these three people were killed by Long Tao, and this move was obviously to test him.

The only thing Long Tao couldn't be sure of was whether Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was the three people he killed as Xue Mingyu.

"I killed these three people, how can I not recognize them?" Long Tao smiled faintly: "How could these three corpses appear here in the emperor?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Long Tao and said with a mysterious smile: "It was Leng Yan's factory guard who found it by the Qinhuai River, and Leng Yan recognized these three people and brought them back." ”

Long Tao immediately realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was lying, if it was really Leng Yan who found these three corpses, he should hide them immediately, with his identity, he would never let someone from the Heavenly Mandate Sect appear in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and arouse his vigilance.

The three corpses must have been found by people who were not in the strict system, and it is very likely that they were Ye Sudong, who Zhu Yuanzhang really trusted, the fearless Praetorian Guard system, or Zhi Potian, Shuai Nianzu and others who had been hiding in the shadows to train dead soldiers for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the original book, these four people are the people Zhu Yuanzhang really trusts, and he has long been on guard against Leng Yan.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately pulled out Leng Yan, obviously being wary of Long Tao, and wanted to take the opportunity to estimate his relationship with Leng Yan, worthy of being a treacherous and cunning generation of heroes.

It's a pity that Long Tao is familiar with the original work and knows that Leng Yan has already taken refuge in Shan Yuru, and knows all the plots and character relationships well, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang has intentions, he can't hide it from him.

"It turned out that it was discovered by the Great Commander Leng." Long Tao exclaimed: "Lord Leng is worthy of being a senior master, to be honest, I don't know any of these three people, I didn't expect Lord Leng to see through their identities!" ”

"Oh? It turns out that the Marquis of the Imperial Sword doesn't know these three people, so why did they kill you? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Long Tao said indifferently: "These three people may want to snatch Long's eagle knife, they besieged me inexplicably, and all of them have extremely high martial arts, Long Mou in order to protect himself, only to use all his strength, the emperor also knows that between masters, once they fight with all their might, it is difficult to have room for maneuver, not you die or I die." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Hmph! Since I have made you the Marquis of the Imperial Sword, that is to announce to the world and recognize you as the master of the Eagle Sword, these three people still dare to be greedy, and they are innocent! ”

Long Tao looked at the three corpses, and asked in surprise: "It turns out that these three people really have a great background, I don't know what their identities are, so that the emperor attaches so much importance to them?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, pointed to two of the corpses and said: "These two people are two old monsters from the Demon Gate, it's not surprising that the Marquis of the Imperial Sword doesn't know them, and there are very few people left who have seen them on the rivers and lakes." This person is the 'Evil Buddha' Zhong Zhongyou, and this is the 'Soul Snatching' solution, these two people were the big devils who dominated the world back then, and they have disappeared for decades, and they never imagined that they would die at the hands of the Imperial Sword Marquis in Jingshi. ”

Long Tao said in his heart, sure enough, it was these two demons, but I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang knew their relationship with Shan Yuru, maybe the Heavenly Mandate Sect was too hidden, and Zhu Yuanzhang might not be able to infer the existence of Shan Yuru from the identities of these two people.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is scheming, and his joy and anger are invisible, don't look at him not mentioning the Heavenly Mandate Sect at this time, maybe he already knows it in his heart, in short, his vigilance at this moment must have strengthened a lot.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the last corpse again, looked at Long Tao with a smile, and asked, "Is this person really unrecognizable?" ”

Long Tao glanced down, only to see that the man had white hair, but the skin on his face was smooth and white, he really deserved the words "crane hair and childish face", he didn't think about it when he started it, but at this moment he suddenly remembered a person, and this person was only exposed to Shan Yuru in the end.

However, he still shook his head and said, "Shu Long is young and knowledgeable, and he really can't recognize which senior this is." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "This person is the immortal immortal of the Changbai faction!" ”

"It's him!" Although Long Tao had guessed in his heart, there was still a look of surprise on his face, "The Changbai faction is one of the eight factions of the Zhenguo appointed by the emperor, and the immortal immortal, as the head of the Changbai faction, is folded under Long's hand......."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand at the right time to interrupt him and said, "I can't blame you for this matter." ”

Long Tao sighed: "I didn't expect that with the status of an immortal, I would also covet the Eagle Knife." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "People will change!" He was greedy, I can understand it, but the most painful thing for me is to see him collude with two old monsters of the Demon Gate! Of these eight factions, who else can I trust? Turning his head, he stared at Long Tao with blazing eyes and said, "Perhaps, only a person like the Marquis of the Imperial Sword who has no desires and is determined to be martial arts is the only one I can trust!" ”

Long Tao instantly realized that Zhu Yuanzhang had become suspicious of him.

The reason is, with Zhu Yuanzhang's shrewdness, how could he not see that a person like an immortal immortal would never ruin himself for an eagle knife?

Therefore, when Long Tao said that these three people might have attacked him for the sake of the eagle knife, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that he was lying, although Long Tao hiding Xue Mingyu's identity would not cause him any disadvantage, but with Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, how could he tolerate someone lying to him around him?

Perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to draw up a plan to deal with him at this time, but it is a pity that he still pretends to trust him, and his acting skills are outstanding, he really deserves to be a character who has been killed all the way from the power struggle!

Long Tao didn't look excited, and still said lightly: "The emperor can rest assured, what Long said when he first entered the palace to see the driver, will always count!" "But I thought in my heart, no matter how suspicious you are, I will still let Yun Wei sit on the throne safely, but if you Zhu Yuanzhang don't know what to do and dare to provoke me, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his words and asked, "I heard that Pang Ban is coming." ”

Long Tao nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." ”

"Is there a battle between the Marquis of the Imperial Sword and Pang Ban?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled meaningfully.

"It's inevitable." Long Tao smiled.

"Haha, looking at the appearance of the Marquis of the Imperial Sword, you know that you are full of confidence!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily, "I heard that Long Tao didn't use a knife before, in fact, I invited you here this time to let the Marquis of the Imperial Sword come here to pick up a piece to take advantage of the blade, to thank you for getting rid of these three old demons for me." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the weapon rack on the side, and said arrogantly: "These are all once world-famous blades, and the Marquis of the Imperial Sword can choose at will!" ”

Long Tao looked at it, shook his head and smiled: "Don't hide it from the emperor, for Long, it doesn't make much difference what kind of blade is used, and it is enough to have an eagle knife in his hand." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, turned to look at the other side of the hall, and said with a smile: "This hall of mine, on one side is calligraphy and painting, and on the other side is swords, which is just right for a merry knight like the Imperial Sword Marquis, since you don't need a blade, then choose a calligraphy and painting here." ”

Long Tao turned around and glanced at Chen Yuzhen, who was still concentrating on grinding ink, but that simple kneeling posture contained an infinite temptation that made people reverie.

"That being the case, then dare to ask for an emperor's ink treasure." After Long Tao walked around, he finally set his eyes on Chen Yu's jade hand that was really grinding ink.
