"Are there any living people? Where are all the people dead?" Hua Long, who felt that something was not quite right, immediately glanced at Tarex beside him, and then opened his throat and roared.

Although he is a peaceful gentleman in the eyes of others, don't forget, he is also a nobleman, and he is also a pampered nobleman, when encountering this situation, even if he tears his throat and scolds a few times, it is a normal reaction, and it will not arouse the suspicion of others.

A moment later, a short, lean middle-aged man suddenly trotted out of the backyard in front of Hua Long and Tarix.

"Who are you two people?What are you doing here in the Northern Governor's Mansion?" Seeing Hua Long and the two of them directly breaking into the backyard of the Northern Governor's Mansion, the short and capable middle-aged man suddenly rolled his eyes, and then asked unceremoniously.

After so many years in the Northern Governor's Mansion, he can be regarded as a well-informed person, although one of the two in front of him is obviously dressed as a standard nobleman, but between his eyebrows, he lacks the domineering spirit that those nobles have, and he is still so young, and more importantly, he has never seen this person in his impression, so in his opinion, at best, he is just the son of a small aristocratic family, so naturally he does not need to be polite.

As for the other person, he took one look at it, and then he didn't want to look at it again, because it was a pariah's attire, and such a person was nothing in the eyes of his nobleman.

And at this time, Hua Long was not angry, after all, he had already seen the ugly faces of those nobles, and he had seen even worse than this, but he did not answer the guy's question, but asked rhetorically: "You are alone in the Northern Governor's Mansion?"

"Hmph, who are you? You can also inquire about the affairs of the Northern Governor's Mansion, and what qualifications do you have to ask?" The short and capable middle-aged man suddenly snorted lightly, and said with his nostrils facing the sky.

"Hehe, who am I?" Hua Long immediately pursed his lips and sneered: "I'm afraid you haven't read today's newspaper, if you did, you probably wouldn't have asked that!"

Today's newspaper?

Being reminded by Hua Long like this, the short and capable middle-aged man suddenly trembled, and then opened his eyes wide and looked at Hua Long carefully.

Of course, he has read today's newspaper, and naturally knows that today's newspaper is almost dominated by the incident of the new Northern Governor - Hualong, and more importantly, there is a portrait of the new Northern Governor on it!

Under the comparison between the two, the short and capable middle-aged man's legs suddenly weakened, and the next moment he knelt directly on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "The villain has eyes and no beads, I don't know if it is Lord Beidu, I really damn it, I really damn it!

"Hmph!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Hua Long also snorted coldly again.

The front and the back are respectful, a typical villain's face!

But for such a little person, he didn't bother to care, after all, who can be on an errand in this Northern Governor's Mansion, who has nothing to do with it? Not to mention that this guy in front of him is still a little nobleman, although punishing him is a trivial matter, but it is not a good thing for people to see his decisive side in this imperial capital.

Therefore, after snorting lightly, Hua Long asked again, "Are you alone in this Northern Governor's Mansion, and where are the others?"

"Yes, yes, only the villain is alone!" The short and capable middle-aged man hurriedly replied respectfully: "The others were all transferred away by the two thousand masters, and I heard that there was a riot by the victims in the west of the city, so I went to suppress it!"

Suppression of riots?

Hearing the news suddenly, Hua Long's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, how could he not know that this kind of thing had happened recently? Could it be that Prime Minister Rong Te and they deliberately covered up the matter?

After all, the two remaining commanders were both prime ministers, and it was impossible for them to transfer troops out of the palace without the permission of Prime Minister Rongte, but even if there was a riot in the west of the city, shouldn't that also be the business of the southern governor?

It seems that his sources are still too closed, and there are many things that he may not know even as a northern governor if it is not for the occasion.

Thinking of this, Hua Long's gaze couldn't help but glance at Tarex beside him.

And Tarex obviously understood what Hua Long was thinking at this moment, and immediately nodded slightly, indicating that what he was thinking was indeed a problem.

"Alright, I see!" Without bothering to pay any attention to the man on the ground, he walked around Tarex and walked directly into the villa in the backyard.

And for here, Hua Long is also familiar with the road, after all, he came once when he rescued Jingyi a year ago, although the situation was urgent, he didn't come at all to take a good look, but he still remembered the basic route, so they took Tarex directly to the top floor and walked into the special suite where Beidu rested.

"What do you think about this?" After carefully inspecting the room and making sure that no one else existed in the room, Hua Long immediately sat on the sofa and asked.

"Hmph! It's nothing more than Prime Minister Rongte who wants to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and he doesn't want to alarm the court, but also wants someone to do something, so he seconded the guard team of the Northern Governor!" Tarex immediately looked expressionless, snorted lightly, and replied coldly.

He didn't believe in the so-called riot of the people in the west of the city, after all, it was the territory of the Southern Governor, and even if something really happened, it would not be the turn of the Northern Governor's Mansion to send troops, not to mention that if such a big thing happened, would the imperial capital still be so calm? I am afraid that whether it is the court or the market, it has already been rumored, and it is impossible for there to be no rumors at all.

"Hmm!" Hua Long nodded immediately, but after a few breaths, he shook his head helplessly.

"Our sources are indeed too closed, and even the channels are too single! This is very unfavorable to your ideals, my lord!" Tarex obviously understood what Hua Long was thinking at this moment, and immediately spoke up.

As an excellent military strategist and politician, intelligence has always been the lifeblood of the lifeline, without accurate intelligence support, no matter how capable a general is, it may be difficult to win the battle, which Tarex has long considered, but the time has not yet come, and he has not put it into action.

"Oh, it seems that there is a solution to it?" Hua Long's eyes suddenly lit up, although he had not been in contact with Tarex for a long time, but after a few contacts, Hua Long found a problem, that is, this guy is completely an excellent staff, and can even be said to be an excellent politician, he not only has keen analytical skills, but also has a long-term vision that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and this kind of thinking can obviously make him see things that many people can't see or even think.

"There's one person you can meet when you have time, but ......," Tarex said as he refused.

"But what, have something to say!" Hua Long's eyes immediately became eager.

"This man is a bit difficult to handle, not only has a strange temper, but also has a transcendent status, if you want to take him under your command, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!" Speaking of this, Tarex paused again, "And it takes a lot of money to support the normal operation of the intelligence agencies!"

As the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, it is nothing for Tarex to give advice, but in terms of the economy, the current Tarex can't help much at all, after all, if you want to set up a large-scale intelligence agency and support its normal operation, the cost is not a few dozens. Millions of gold coins can be done, which requires an extremely large economy to support, and in this small imperial capital, whether it is for Hualong or Tarix, it obviously has huge limitations, so that they can't let go of their hands and feet to make a big difference.
