Before the officer and soldier finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu suddenly raised his arm, waved his hand and slapped it heavily on the cheek of the sturdy officer and soldier.

He used a lot of force, and beat the sturdy officers and soldiers in a half circle, and the latter subconsciously covered his cheeks, his eyes were big and round, he looked at Shangguan Xiu in disbelief, and screamed: "You dare to hit me?"

This situation made the surrounding officers and soldiers a little dumbfounded.

The sturdy officers and soldiers screamed, and they were about to draw their swords when they returned. Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and slapped him on the cheek again.

This slap was stronger than the one just now.

"I'll fuck you, Lao Tzu slashed you!" the sturdy officer and soldier roared angrily, and pulled out the steel knife from his side viciously. He raised the steel knife above his head, aimed at Shangguan Xiu's head and was about to slash down.

But his knife stopped in the air, but it didn't fall for a long time.

I saw that Shangguan Xiu had an extra black sign in his hand at some point, and the card was almost pasted on the front door of the sturdy officers and soldiers.

The sturdy officer and soldier subconsciously took a step back, and when he looked at it, his face couldn't help but change greatly.

There are two big characters clearly written on the card: Duwei.

The sturdy officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, and the knives in their hands were still held high in the air, but the arms holding the knives were trembling suddenly.

"Cut, aren't you going to chop me?" Shangguan Xiu took a step forward, the sturdy officers and soldiers turned pale, and immediately took a step back, and the officers and soldiers around them also looked horrified, and retreated to both sides one after another.

Shangguan Xiu has both the token of the Duwei Mansion and the jade plate of the Yuwang Mansion on his body, no matter which brand he takes out, it is enough to deter these officers and soldiers of the Inner History Mansion.

At this time, a questioning voice came from behind the officers and soldiers on the left: "What's the matter?"

As he spoke, all the officers and soldiers retreated to both sides, and an elegant young man in his early thirties dressed in brocade clothes walked out of the crowd.

He first looked at the officers and soldiers around him, then at Shangguan Xiu, and finally, his eyes fell on the sturdy officers and soldiers who were beaten, and asked, "What is the situation here?"

Seeing him, the sturdy officers and soldiers hurriedly ran forward as if they had found the backbone, and said in a low voice: "Lord Hai, we searched for the assassins and searched here, but we didn't expect to meet ...... I met the people of the Towei Mansion......"

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Shangguan Xiu.

"Duwei Mansion?" "In such a dilapidated slum, how could there be people from the Duwei Mansion?" The elegant young man looked at Shangguan Xiu again, and looked at him suspiciously.

After looking at it for a moment, he stepped forward, stood still in front of Shangguan Xiu, put his hands behind his back, and asked in a suspicious tone, "Are you from the Duwei Mansion?"

The attitude of the elegant young man revealed arrogance, but Shangguan Xiu's attitude was more arrogant than him.

He shook the token in his hand and asked, "Are you blind?"

Hearing this, the elegant young man's face changed slightly, and at the same time, a sound of inhalation sounded around him.

The elegant young man's eyes flashed with a cold light, stared at Shangguan Xiu coldly, and said with a smile: "With such a token, you want us to believe in your identity......

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu had already interrupted with an impatient expression: "If you don't believe it, you can send your people to the Duwei Mansion to inquire now, or you can consult my direct boss, Lord Qicheng, the deputy commander of Tianyan!"

The elegant young man frowned secretly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Since you are from the Duwei Mansion, why are you hiding here!"

Shangguan Xiu sneered when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "There are as many as thirty-seven strongholds in the inner and outer cities of Shangjing, is it true that where did our Duwei Mansion choose a stronghold and still learn about your Inner History Mansion?"

The elegant young man was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out: "I don't mean that. ”

The more arrogant Shangguan Xiu behaved at this time, the more in line with the usual high-flying and domineering style of the personnel of the Metropolitan Guard Mansion on weekdays.

He seemed to inadvertently mention Cheng Qi and the thirty-seven strongholds of the Duwei Mansion, and the information that was invisibly revealed was that he knew the Duwei Mansion well and was indeed from the Duwei Mansion.

"Where the Duwei Mansion is to handle the case, where to set up a point, it is not under the control of your Internal History Mansion, now, bring your people to get out of my house immediately!" Shangguan Xiu put away the token, put it in his arms, and then turned around and walked towards his own courtyard without looking at the many officers and soldiers. Before entering the door, he tilted his head slightly, and said to the elegant young man behind him and all the officers and soldiers present: "Keep your mouths in check, if anyone dares to leak the news of my place, I will use the one hundred and eight sets of punishments of the Duwei Mansion on his head one by one!" After speaking, he walked into the courtyard gate, and with a clang, the courtyard door also closed heavily.

The elegant young man looked at the tightly closed courtyard door, his face gloomy and ugly.

The sturdy officers and soldiers approached the elegant young man and asked cautiously, "Lord Hai, ...... We can't check it yet?"

The elegant young man frowned, glanced at the sturdy officers and soldiers, and shouted angrily: "Go check elsewhere!"

The Inner History Mansion and the Duwei Mansion have always been well water and river water, and there is no need to offend the Duwei Mansion and cause trouble for themselves by tracking down a few assassins who do not enter the stream.

In the past, the name of the Minister of Internal History was Imperial Shi Dafu, who had the responsibility of supervising the Chinese military hundred officials of the dynasty, and the Duwei Mansion in addition to the Duwei Camp, the Heavenly Eye and the Earth Network were secret spy institutions, and also had the responsibility of supervising the hundred officials on behalf of the emperor, but the power of the Duwei Mansion was obviously greater than that of the Neishi Mansion, at least the Neishi Mansion could not find the head of the Duwei Mansion, but the Duwei Mansion could find the head of the Neishi Mansion.

Shangguan Xiu closed the courtyard door, re-bolted the door, walked back to the thatched house, and said to the three Luo Ren who had already drawn their swords inside: "The pursuers who captured you have been sent away by me. ”

Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu didn't speak, nor did they put the sword in their hands back into the sheath, they stared at Shangguan Xiu intently and vigilantly, and finally Luo Ren frowned and asked, "Are you, a person from Duwei Mansion?"

Although the three of them didn't go out, they could hear the conversation outside.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at the three of them, smiled, he walked to the table, took out the token of Duwei Mansion from his arms, and then took out a jade plate, put it on the table, and said: "I not only have the token of Duwei Mansion, I also have the jade plate of Yuwang Mansion." ”

Luo Ren and the three of them gasped in unison, they looked at Shangguan Xiu with strange eyes, they didn't say anything for a long time, and they were all muttering in their hearts: Who is he?

Shangguan Xiu tapped the token lightly with his finger and asked, "Don't care what my identity is, I just ask you, do you talk or not?"

"Of course we are talking!" Luo Ren blurted out, after a pause, he immediately understood the purpose of Shangguan Xiu's question, and said with a cold face: "But except for the eagle dogs of the imperial court!"

"Why are you anti-court?"

"Because of injustice. ”

"What if one day the world was fair?"

"You...... What do you mean by that?" Luo looked at him puzzled.

"The reason why His Royal Highness King Yu gave me this jade plate is that I asked me to help him collect the evidence of the crimes of hundreds of officials, and when the time is ripe, His Royal Highness King Yu can use these criminal evidence to blackmail the officials of the court and force them to accept His Highness's proposal to change the law, until the aristocracy is finally abolished!"

"Is that true?" Luo Ren and the three of them widened their eyes in unison.

"Do I need to lie to you?" Shangguan Xiu lifted the placket, untied the saber hidden at his waist, and put it on the table.

He said: "Since you are not afraid of death, it is better to put your life in my hands, I dare not guarantee that what I am doing is not dangerous, but I can at least guarantee that you will not be sent to die in vain, and die worthless."

People live for a lifetime, and they can't pass through the water without a trace, at least they must leave some traces. I don't know if we can abolish the aristocracy in the end, and even if we can't, at least we must become a member of the aristocracy! If you believe in me, give me your life, from now on, we will be brothers, life and death together, never abandon, if you do not believe in me, I will not force you to keep your promises, now, you can leave. As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them, walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and raised his eyes to look out of the window.

Cao Lei and Yuan Mu first glanced at each other, and then their eyes fell on Luo Ren in unison, waiting for him to make a decision.

Luo Ren frowned, and his face changed. Cao Lei walked up to his side and whispered, "Ah Ren, I see...... He can be relied on. ”

Is it up to you to see if a person can be relied upon?" Luo Ren glared at him fiercely.

He pondered for a while, looked at Shangguan Xiu standing in front of the window, and asked, "You said that you are King Yu's person and want to help King Yu change the law, but you also said that you also want to be a member of the nobles, don't you think your words contradict yourself?"

"Really?" Shangguan Xiu smiled, looked out the window, and asked, "What is the purpose of overthrowing the aristocracy?"

Without waiting for Luo Ren to answer, he continued: "Isn't it for the sake of abolishing the gate lords of the noble clan so as to create a chance for oneself to get ahead? Anti-aristocracy, in order to get ahead, to be a nobleman, but also to get ahead, is there a contradiction between this? We must do our best, but we must not listen to the destiny of heaven, and fate must be in our own hands. ”

"I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds like it makes sense. Cao Lei leaned over to Luo Ren and whispered.

Cao Lei didn't understand Shangguan Xiu's words, but Luo Ren understood, and he also heard his ambition of not being willing to succumb to others.

Luo Ren stared at Shangguan Xiu, and the moonlight outside the window shone on his body, making him seem to have a circle of light around him.

The corners of his mouth raised, and he said: "I haven't seen King Yu, let alone know him, but I'm willing to follow you!"

As soon as Luo Ren took the lead, Cao Lei and Yuan Mu immediately answered: "Count me in too!"

There is no blood alliance, and there is no incense case alliance to swear to worship, there is only such a sentence of 'I am willing to follow you', but this sentence tightly tied the fate of the four of them together, no matter whether Shangguan Xiu rose or fell in the future, Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu were the ones who stood most unswervingly on his side.

Some people, a sentence represents the sea oath, and some people, his sea oath is not worth a penny.
