Several maids were the first to see the king's authority, and just as they were about to speak, the other party made a gesture of silence.

He quietly came to Koharuko's side, took the grapes from the maid's hand, and then peeled one and handed it to Koharuko's mouth, and Koharuko swallowed it unceremoniously.

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet......"

Koharuko, who noticed that something was wrong, immediately opened her eyes wide and stood up with a "Teng".

"Lord...... Master, are you back? ”

Wang Quanquan looked at Koharuko with a smile, he was now more and more unable to understand the other party.

Before, he had always thought that Koharuko was a good minion, but now he found that he would actually enjoy it and squeeze subordinates who were one level lower than him.

But it's right to think about it, no one is born willing to be a minion, and who doesn't want to enjoy it?

So he patted Koharuko on the shoulder and asked meaningfully, "Do you like people to rub your shoulders and pound your legs?" ”

Xiao Chunzi's cold sweat came down, and she hurriedly denied it: "I don't like it, I don't like it." ”

Wang Quanquan shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "It's a pity, Yanzhou Mansion wants to give me a pair of beautiful people, I don't want it when I see it, it is said that they are the best at rubbing shoulders and legs, just now I saw you enjoying it so much, I wanted to give it to you, since you don't like it, forget it." ”

“……”

Xiao Chunzi didn't know how to answer at all, saying that it was false to say that he didn't regret it, but he didn't dare to ask for it if he really gave it to him, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Your Highness, is everything going well on the road?"

Wang Quanquan said thoughtfully: "It's not going well, something incomprehensible has happened......"

Although the affairs of the Shui Kou Gang are incomprehensible, the affairs of the capital are even more confusing, and the king always has a feeling that there seems to be a storm brewing in the dark.

Koharuko suddenly remembered something at this time, reached into her arms, and took out an envelope from it.

"Your Highness, this letter was handed over to you by Boss Lu, and he said that he had something to leave the capital."

When the king heard this, his heart moved, and he took the envelope and asked casually, "Who left with him?" ”

Now he still has a certain bad taste for the fact that Lu Xiaoxian and Nie Yingxue have a personal affair.

"Back to Your Highness, I left with Xishun, by the way, there is still a letter here."

"Huh?"

Xiao Chunzi handed over another letter, and the words "Prince Ankang Enlightenment" were written on the envelope in a juanxiu font, which seemed to be written by a woman.

"At this time, Nie Shen asked me to hand it over to the prince."

"Nie Yingxue?"

Wang Quanquan felt a little strange, she only left a resignation letter on Zhongli's side, and didn't even say where she went.

But the relationship between himself and the other party is obviously not as good as Zhongli, and he also received a letter from the other party.

Back in the house, Wang Quanquan put the two letters in front of him, thought for a while, and opened Nie Yingxue's letter first.

"Yingxue thanked the prince for saving his life that day, something is about to happen in the capital, I hope the prince will leave early!"

In just three sentences, the whole thing is even more bizarre.

Wang Quanquan is not surprised that Nie Yingxue can guess her identity, but what does this happen after that, why can she know in advance.

+

With his eyes flickering, he opened Lu Xiaoxian's letter again.

Lu Xiaoxian's envelope didn't write anything, but when it was opened, it was densely written a whole page.

Wang Quanquan looked at it carefully, most of them were words of thanks, and there were also apologies for his sudden departure, but he, like Nie Yingxue, did not write the reason.

These are nothing, who has no one to say, but when Wang Quanquan saw the last sentence, he was completely stunned:

"I will come back in some time, and Brother Wanwang will not leave the capital."

The two of them made an appointment, right, one let himself not leave, and the other let himself stay and not leave.

But their reasons are different, and it may be a coincidence.

Wang Quanquan frowned and couldn't help but ponder.

He is a very persuasive person, only about the safety of life, even if it sounds false, he will believe it.

For example, if someone mysteriously tells him not to go out tomorrow, he will be stoned to death by a sow falling from the sky when he goes out, then he will believe it, and stay in the house all day and not go out, even the size of the house will be solved.

People like him say that if it is good, it is called to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and if it is bad, it is called to be afraid of death.

Although he is afraid of death, he will always make up for danger, in short, it is very contradictory.

"To go or not to go?"

Wang Quanquan muttered to himself, and couldn't help but play with the jade plate given to him by the emperor in his hand.

Now that I think about it, since he came back, everything has changed, from the time he first entered the palace, the emperor's various performances always gave him a feeling that he had something to hide from him.

Now Lu Xiaoxian and Nie Yingxue's inexplicable departure from Beijing is the same.

He only feels big for a while, he is not afraid of fighting with people, he is afraid of this feeling in the clouds, the old emperor did not pit him at the beginning, it should have left a shadow at that time.

As he pondered, the door was pushed open.

"Master, it's time to eat."

Koharuko walked in from outside with a meal.

Wang Quanquan also felt a little hungry, so he simply didn't think about it, and put the jade plaque in his hand on the table and planned to eat.

"Huh?"

Koharuko looked weird when she saw the jade plaque.

"What's wrong, you know?"

Xiao Chunzi picked up the jade plate, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded definitively, and said, "Yes." ”

"What's it?"

"Secret Guard Order."

"Dark what?"

"Your Highness, it is a secret guard order that can mobilize the twelve secret guards."

Secret guards, the king knows that the emperors of the dynasty have twelve secret guards around them, some of them are from the army, some are from the rivers and lakes, except for a few who are responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence all the year round, the rest are in Beijing, and they are responsible for the emperor's safety on weekdays.

These secret guards have a special identity, and they usually only use code names, and no one knows their real names except the emperor, and the rats that Wang Quanquan has fought in the alleys are one of them.

According to the impression of the king's authority, that person's skills can be tied with himself in the Qi refining period, and it will not be much higher than he thinks.

"Your Highness, where did you get this secret guard order from?" Koharuko was obviously much more shocked than him.

"The emperor gave it, what's wrong?" The king's authority still looks indifferent, and he doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.

If it was according to his previous cultivation, of course, it would not be a big deal, and maybe the Dark Guard Twelve would not necessarily be his opponents.

But for ordinary people, the weight of this thing is really not light, because the Dark Guard Twelve can take out one at random, and it is at least the level of the four great gods.

But how many people of this level are there in the entire capital of the four great gods?

Seeing that the master was so careless, Koharuko explained:

"Your Highness doesn't know, the most powerful thing about the secret guards is not martial arts, but spying intelligence, Emperor Taizu could get the news of General Pingnan's rebellion in advance, and it was precisely because of these twelve secret guards.

Nowadays, most of them are mixed in the four major alien races to collect intelligence, and a few are scattered in the capital, in addition to guarding the security of the capital, the most important thing is to search for intelligence, which includes both the surveillance of the ministers and the checks and balances of other alien tribes in the capital. ”

Wang Quanquan only understood when he heard this, and co-authored Wang Quanxian really gave himself a big gift, this is a whole intelligence network.

But what was his purpose in doing so? Is it just for the favor he said?

The bewildered Wang Quan suddenly realized a problem, and he asked with a strange face:

"How do you know so much detail, could it be that you are one of them?"

To tell the truth, he has suspected this kid for a long time, from the very beginning to block the knife for himself, and later played a scene of fake death with Zi Mouse, and then from time to time he "eyebrows" with the old emperor and pulled himself into the water.

This kind of behavior is clearly like the legendary secret guard.

Xiao Chunzi saw that Wang Quanquan's face was not good, and even the "killing intent" revealed in his eyes, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty:

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minions have indeed been trained in the Secret Guard, but I only obey the orders of the Holy Grace Emperor and you."

Speaking of this, he paused, obviously thinking of the Holy Emperor, but he immediately said with a shy face: "Now, I am your ...... alone"

“……”

Every time I talk to Xiao Chunzi, Wang Quanquan can be half angry, he obviously has a hundred ways to express this sentence, but he wants to say it so disgusting.

Wang Quanquan took the token a little weakly, and then immediately said: "The secret guard listens to the order, and I order you to tell your true identity." ”

I saw that Xiao Chunzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, co-authoring the master This is testing himself, if he is really a secret guard, then he can only obey orders.

"Your Highness, if you want to know about the past of your subordinates, I will tell you if you have the chance, but I am indeed not a secret guard."

Wang Quanquan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, there is really a story about this kid, but it seems that he is not a secret guard as he said.

"Okay, since you're not spying on intelligence by my side, then it's okay, everyone has some ulterior secrets, if you want to say it one day, I'll prepare the wine and food, you say it slowly."

Xiao Chunzi was grateful when he heard this, in fact, it is not impossible to say this, but if he is forced to say it, he will still be a little uncomfortable, after all, this past is too heavy.

Wang Quanquan picked up the token again and continued to ask, "How do you use this thing, or how to find the twelve dark guards?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this token is only one of them, it can only order the Dark Guards to do part of the things, if you want to fully control the Dark Guards, you also need their roster, but if you need it, I can help you contact the Dark Guard."

"Wouldn't that be useless?" Wang Quanquan asked with a frown.

"Not really, generally the token holder will get the roster later, and of course become the controller."

When Wang Quanquan heard this, he finally understood that the emperor should have paid a "deposit" first, and after he returned the so-called "favor", the complete secret guard would be handed over to him.

"It's really cunning." Wang Quanquan pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered, "Go and help me find a secret guard." ”

"Who is Your Highness looking for?"

"Who is in the capital?"

"Your Highness, there were rats, rabbits, dragons, and snakes before, so it's not very clear."

"Then let's do it." Wang Quanquan commanded casually.

"Yes!"

……

In the palace on the other side, since the king's authority left, the emperor's side has not touched a pen.

He sat there, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he spoke in a deep voice: "Rat! ”

"In!"

A dark figure appeared silently inside the house.

"The king's authority has found a secret guard."

"Haven't looked for it yet."

"Well, if he needs a guard, you can go."

"Yes!"

"Also, for some time to come, you will be in charge of keeping him safe in the shadows until this matter is over."

"Yes!"

Then, the shadow vanished again.

The Emperor stood up at this moment and looked out the window, his face was calm, but a haze flashed in his eyes from time to time, which was rare in him.

"Are you really going to go this far?"

He spoke softly.

……

On the other side, the royal authority, when he was about to go out for a walk after eating and drinking, suddenly caught a glimpse of an extra person in the corner of the room.

The man, dressed in black, was half-kneeling on the ground, silent.

The king's cold sweat immediately came down, is this a human or a ghost?

He pretended to be calm and said: "Dare to ask the hero's name, why are you here?" ”

The half-kneeling man was in the shadows, his head bowed, but there was a strange look in his eyes.

"That, how much money they pay, I'll pay double."

The king's authority now seems to have taken the other party as if he had come to assassinate himself.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Chunzi walked in outside, and when he came in, he saw the man in black staying in the corner at a glance, and then said in surprise: "So fast? ”

"You know?"

Hearing Xiao Chunzi's tone, Wang Quanquan immediately relaxed a lot.

"This is the secret guard you asked me to find, but it doesn't seem to be a rabbit, but a mouse."

"Mao Rabbit is out on a mission, not in the capital."

At this moment, the man in black in the corner finally spoke.

Wang Quanquan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, female?

He was ambushed in the alley that day, because Koharuko was seriously injured at that time, he didn't pay attention to the identity of the other party, and now he heard the other party's voice, it should be a woman.

But he immediately ignored these minor things, and asked tentatively:

"Let me ask you, what does the emperor want me to do?"

"Don't say."

He was answered in a cold voice.

“…… Then do you know what happened to the capital in Nie Yingxue's mouth? ”

"Don't say."

It's still three cold words.

"What about Lu Xiaoxian, do you know where he went?"

"Don't say." "Don't say."

This time, there were two voices at the same time, and it was Wang Quanquan who said the same thing in the tone of the rat.

He had already expected what the other party would say, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed, did he want to deceive himself about a favor with this secret guard?

Xu expected that he had gone too far, and the rat added:

"But I can tell you that he's safe, and he'll be back in as little as a month, or as little as three months at most."

Hearing this, the king finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I see you for what you really are?"

He is purely looking for trouble, after all, such a mysterious organization is in front of him, and it is false to say that he is not curious.

The king's authority, who originally had little hope, actually got a positive answer after the other party hesitated for a while:

"Yes!"

Then the man looked up and removed the black cloth from his face.

"Is that you?"

……

At the same time, according to the capital two thousand miles south of the dynasty.

There is a mansion covering an area of about 20 acres, and there is a water pavilion in the depths of the mansion, which is guarded by four guards with knives on all sides.

In the pavilion, on the stone table in the middle, the fine gilt incense burner was emitting wisps of incense, and a man of about thirty was sitting at the table.

The man was wearing a cyan robe, his hair was tied up at will, and his handsome face was a little gloomy.

There was a chess game in front of him, and the man was holding a sunspot in his hand, frowning and thinking, not noticing the woman walking not far away.

The woman walked to the pavilion, glanced at the man, and without saying a word, walked up to him, and took care of her own hair to arrange his hair.

The man seemed to have long been accustomed to everything, and still watched the chess game intently, and finally his eyes flashed, and he fell into the game and killed the white son a big dragon.

Only then did he raise his head and speak leisurely: "Wu chased back?" ”

The woman tied up the crown of his hair and let out a soft "um".

"Let him in."

Then, a man came from outside the pavilion, and he bent over and bowed his head, and went straight to the man in the pavilion and knelt down.

This person is Wu Chai, but at this moment, he no longer has the gloomy anger he used to have, and instead has a nervous and panicked face.

"It's done."

"Go back to your master, and do as you commanded."

"Got something?"

"Back to the owner...... There are only 200 of them. ”

At this moment, he only felt a chill in his back, because it did not reach the amount requested by the other party.

The man was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "Stand down." ”

"Yes."

Wu chased as if he had been pardoned, and got up respectfully to leave, and his back was already soaked in just this moment.

The man turned his head to look at the lake, took out a handful of bran from the food box on the table, and sprinkled it into the lake, which immediately attracted thousands of koi.

He did not look at this rare sight, but looked at the falling leaves in the distance, and muttered:

"It's autumn, but it's still so hot."

The woman echoed softly:

"It's about half a decade before it cools down completely."

"Then just wait."
