On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when Wang Rui took thousands of elites of the Flying Sword Villa to Hexi Road, hundreds of miles away, Liu Maosheng also returned to the capital with intelligence.

"I spent all the money before I bought the information, the mountain gate of Tianyu Pavilion is in the valley of nearly a hundred miles east of the West Mountain, but that is only an appearance. Master Hou, do you still remember Qishan? It is the mountain where Master Lin Xiaoer's doubtful grave is located. Tianyu Pavilion hollowed out the entire Qishan. Liu Dabeard was very emotionally unstable when he spoke, and it seemed that he had not settled down after being stimulated.

Zhou Zhe also thought in his heart, the matter was not simple, and asked Liu Maosheng with a serious expression: "Is the intelligence information reliable? and what is the situation inside that Qishan?"

Liu Maosheng recalled and said: "At first, the person I bribed was the elder in charge of the procurement of Tianyu Pavilion, and he made it very clear about the matter of Tianyu Pavilion Mountain Gate, and the situation in the Qishan Dungeon was that he only leaked his mouth when he drank too much. Afterwards, I asked him about it, and he didn't admit it, so I took out the waist card of the internal guard and threatened him with the fact that he had received money, and then told me that since a few years ago, several people and horses fought in Qishan, and then took the treasures unearthed from the tombs inside and left, and they only dared to explore afterwards. Tianyu Pavilion has a set of things for mineral exploration. The inside of Qishan looks like a tomb, and there are ancient tombs and burial pits everywhere, but there are actually other ways to go, and only those who understand this line of work can understand. Tianyu Pavilion is well versed in this. Oh, there's a saying, it's called Burning Mountain Molten City. ”

Zhou Zhe was extremely shocked in his heart, no wonder the old man who was sealed asked Lin Xiaoer to go to Qishan in his doubtful grave, it turned out that the place where the hammer came out was really a cave, and the artifacts of ancient legends were all smelted by famous mountains and rivers, such as the cry of fierce birds, such as the unformed Longquan Pass, this Qishan is probably not a vulgar place, otherwise the old man who sealed it would not have chosen to be a suspicious grave there, and there is a conjecture.

Tianyu Pavilion is famous for forging weapons, and I am afraid that I also know something about the secrets of ancient artifacts, and I am afraid that the Burning Mountain Molten City is just a statement after the failure of refining the artifact, perhaps, only by bringing the fierce bird to the past can we find out.

Zhou Zhe asked very seriously: "Liu Maosheng, have you personally investigated the situation in that Qi Mountain?"

Liu Maosheng smiled and said very bullshit: "Of course I have to go to see it, I have been with you for so long, so I naturally have to do a full set of things." ”

Zhou Zhe rolled his eyes, "Let's talk about the point." ”

"The point is that I actually went. The inside of Qishan is still being repaired, and there are disciples of Tianyu Pavilion who are overseers, as well as controlled people inside. The bribed steward elder had to send food and iron ingots and other materials into it every ten days, and we disguised ourselves as the steward elder's subordinates and mixed in, and it was impossible for any of the thousands of disciples of Tianyu Pavilion to recognize all of them, but unfortunately, it was only handed over at the foot of the mountain. There's also a decent mine to be used as a disguise. I took our men to sneak into the cave at night, but the further inside, the more heavily defended, it was like an underground fortress. There were many arrowholes in the secret passages, and the brothers were wounded, so I withdrew, and then returned to Beijing. Liu Maosheng scratched his head at the end, looking a little helpless, observing Zhou Zhe's face, not knowing if he had done something wrong.

Zhou Zhe's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, thinking about Liu Maosheng's words, in just a few years, it has been operated like this, if the time is delayed any further, I really don't know what it will become. The dungeon made of steel, maybe this is a by-product of the failure of the artifact training! Tianyu Pavilion's methods should not be underestimated.

Liu Maosheng observed Zhou Zhe's thinking actions, and carefully took out a thick pile of paper from his arms and put it on the table. Said carefully: "Master Hou, in addition, these are some illegal deeds of Tianyu Pavilion rampant in Hexi. When I arrived in Hexi, I asked hundreds of brothers to disperse to investigate, and many of the bitter masters were gone, and now a piece of Hexi has almost become the private property of Tianyu Pavilion, and there are countless acres of mines in the fields. The people have also become their tenants absenteeism, and in the mines, there is really an inch of fine iron and an inch of blood. ”

Zhou Zhe didn't read it and understood that the previous internal guard materials were just hearsay, and now I am afraid that it is the bloody history of Tianyu Pavilion. Mining is a high-risk profession, not to mention that this life is more than that of Kyushu, where the life is more grassy, an inch of fine iron and an inch of blood, Hexi Road is so large on the map, but the taxes collected every year are only a handful, can't it explain the problem?

"If you disperse people, I'm afraid you're startling the snakes, isn't there any movement in Tianyu Pavilion?"

Liu Maosheng said: "Naturally, there is, after our brothers explored the dungeon at night, they sent people to chase and kill them. He smiled confidently, "But fortunately, there are many brothers, and they are fighting immediately, they are not opponents, and they have not chased after the boundary of Hedong Province." ”

Although he said it easily, Zhou Zhe knew that there was comfort in this, but he was not afraid of startling the snake, because now it didn't matter if the snake was startled, the army was already in the city, as long as they quickly took Tianyu Pavilion, it would be too late for them to contact foreign aid for benefits. I hope Wang Rui and Ma Dabao can go well!

It's time to add a plus weight.

Zhou Zhe looked at Liu Maosheng's eyes and said in a very cautious tone: "Counting the time, Wang Rui is either dead now, or he has already set off with the people of Flying Sword Villa." Now that I have an injury on my body, I can't leave for the time being, you have to go again, and the Huazan of the Xishan faction will go with you. You go to Linxi City, gather Ma Dabao and Wang Rui, and tell them that before I come, let the Flying Sword Villa and the Xishan faction go together to attack Tianyu Pavilion for ten days, you only take care of the defense of Linxi City, and don't worry about the rest. ”

Liu Maosheng nodded: "Understood." ”

Zhou Zhe added: "Also, the news of the dungeon, don't expose it if you can't expose it, if you know it, it can't fall into the hands of these two factions, you have to communicate well with Wang Rui and Ma Dabao, except for the injured brother, bring everything you can bring!"

Liu Maosheng knew that Zhou Zhe was putting a big burden on them first, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he took a step back and bowed to his fists and saluted: "Understand, you will be deadly." ”

Things have come to this point Zhou Zhe has no reason to stay in the capital anymore, Qishan is an excellent garrison location to suppress Hedong and Hexi, and now as the fall of Yuge is imminent today, it is time to go to the emperor to arrange the affairs of the entire Hexi.

On this day, it was also the first day of the opening of the court, even if Zhou Zhe didn't go to the emperor, the emperor would summon him to the imperial study to play right. Because most of the things in the court on this day are related to what Zhou Zhe did. First of all, it was Yan Fucheng, the secretary of the household department, who resigned, but this chamberlain just handed the excerpt of Yan Fucheng's resignation to the emperor, and the big speaker Dou Deren opened the council, and did not give Yan Fucheng the possibility of retreating at all.

As soon as the two cannons were fired, the courtiers were still discussing, Lu Douya was pushed to the front of the stage by Dou Deren, and the porcelain of the Ding kiln was even more raised, and the human evidence was there, and he couldn't run away. The emperor thought that it was just Yan Fucheng selling a coal mine, which was caused by Sun Guozhu and him, but he didn't expect that the household department would be rotten like this, and Yan Fucheng's household department would definitely not be able to do it.

Yan Fucheng is depressed, but depressed is depressed, things are indeed out of his office, you have to take the blame if you don't take the blame. For a while, the sound of shouting and killing in the court continued, as if Yan Fucheng did not die, they would not be loyal ministers. Chen Yuanhou was like a mirror in his heart, and naturally said, the precedent counted Yan Fucheng's sins, selling coal mines, and did not see the overall pattern of Dasheng's homeland security, the people below were corrupt and bribery, and the emperor was not strict, when the ministers were still intoxicated at the previous moment, a but, the style of painting changed suddenly, Yan Fucheng did not take benefits, nor was he greedy for money, but the pattern was not enough, and he could be rebuilt.

A military attache actually interceded for a civil official, wasn't that a slap in the face of a civil official? But the jaw dropped again, the head of the civil official, Fan Wenliang seconded the proposal, Lao Fan looked back and looked at Dou Deren deeply, and Dou Deren also seconded the proposal. Now it's okay, the head of the civil officials, the military attache, the big boss, and the number one troll, Dou Deren, have all expressed their stance, what should they do? It's not appropriate to shout and shout and kill! The bigwigs have all spoken, wouldn't it be nice to give them a step? In case this pickled matter falls on their heads in the future, someone will come out to help speak?

Then let's go out! Shandong Dao is not good, there are ringing horses everywhere, Hexi Dao, it is not good, Tianyu Pavilion is rebelling, it is still Fan Wenliang who has given advice, go to Xingcheng! And they all rejoiced. It's just that Fan Wenliang and Chen Yuanhou's silent gaze always makes people feel cold hairs stand on end.

The first problem was solved, Dou Deren's third cannon fired again, and it was Li Bing, the person who was pushed up by them as a target. Since the Imperial Forest Army changed Li Bing as the commander, it has done nothing bad, and it has done even worse. The equipment and equipment have not been changed, and the personnel are still white chickens, which is far from the strength of the internal guards of the forbidden army.

So who should I change? How should Li Bing deal with it? The courtiers will not make a random statement this time, it is better to see what the bigwigs say first, let's follow the trend again, the face of the province is too red to be beaten and it is difficult to see people.

Jiao Dajun was the first to speak for Li Bing, he was the least afraid of offending his relatives, but his relatives were even more afraid of offending him. The meaning is very clear, it's not Li Bing's fault, it's the grandsons of the Royal Forest Army.

Fan Wenliang praised it, seconded it and added one, Chen Yuanhou praised it, seconded it and added one, the ministers did not scold the relatives, but they also sympathized with Li Bing, after all, they sent it to be beaten into a sieve. The emperor knows that Li Bing's commander of the Imperial Forest Army is not easy to do, so replace it!

Li Bing's future was really similar to what Zhou Zhe predicted, he was demoted by half a grade, served as a general in the forbidden army, fined him for half a year, and first went to Hexi to quell the rebellion and make meritorious contributions. Li Bing, who was kneeling, could only force the joy in his heart, and knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and after half a year, he finally returned to a big pot to catch food, saying that he was unfortunate and lucky.

Fan Wenliang and Chen Yuanhou looked at each other again, and the courtiers couldn't bear to look at each other.

But still reminiscing about the eyes of the two, Fan Wenliang fired, and the target was directly aimed at Zhou Zhe. First, arguing about etiquette. This point has not been washed, he Fan Wenliang heard the word Wang Ba with his own ears. Second, not doing business. Give him a deputy commander of internal security, he is good, he runs every day to watch games, do business, and accept idle people in society as younger brothers. Third, the wall of Yanfucheng was demolished. If this is not cured, then everyone will not be able to live after that?

The first and second don't care, and the third point is that I care too much, just a little salary, and I can't eat every day when I decorate. And the big guys have opened fire, everyone will scold them! It's shouting and shouting and killing, Chen Yuanhou is the old god, you are scolding today because you don't understand Zhou Zhe, if you understand my apprentice, I guarantee that you are better than quails. Jiao Dajun almost took a notebook and wrote down the names of the people who talked nonsense, and came out to stare at one by one.

At the moment when the crowd was surging with emotion, Fan Wenliang, the boss of Wenchen, said again, let Zhou Zhe be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army! Good and bad are a nest, and if it is rotten, it will be a rotten pot anyway, and rotten flies and stinky mosquitoes are good together. Everyone's faces turned red again, it turned out that Xiang Zhuang was dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong. But if you think about it carefully, Boss Fan, the head of Wenchen, has a level, and such a troublesome matter has been solved.

When the emperor saw it, he was happy, so let's do it! I will sign and seal, and when the time comes, the Imperial Forest Army will come out again, and you will continue to pinch, anyway, how many years the Royal Forest Army has been rotten, it doesn't matter how many years it has been rotten, and in his heart, Zhou Zhe has the means, and the Royal Forest Army is in his hands, I am afraid that it can really shine once.
