All commanded the envoys in front of the door.

Zuo Dao looked at the Jinyi guard guarding the door in front of him, stepped forward and said: "Zuo Dao, the former envoy of Youzhou Town, specially came to visit the commander. ”

Hearing this, the two brocade guards guarding the door glanced at each other, and then said, "Please wait a while, Lord Zuo." ”

Forthwith.

One of them entered the door and went to find the commander of the capital to give a report.

The man entered the door and ran all the way to the study of the commander, knocked on the door, and said softly: "My lord, the envoy of Youzhou Zhenfu Zuo Dao came to pay a visit. ”

When Cao Xiang in the room heard this, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and then said, "Please come in." ”

When Jin Yiwei heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and left.

Inside the study.

Cao Xiang looked at the document in front of the case, his fingers were light on the table, and he muttered to himself: "This little guy actually entered Beijing so early." ”

He had sent a letter to Youzhou before, and had written the last letter on the secret letter to let him enter Beijing without a time limit.

In order to let Zuo Dao enter Beijing later.

But he didn't expect that this left path was only a month late and came to Kyoto.

And according to the report from Jinyiwei, he should have entered Kyoto last night.

I just returned to Kyoto, and I didn't rest, so I went straight to my mansion the next day.

Interesting, really interesting.

Outside the mansion.

Jin Yiwei came and told Zuo Dao that he could enter the mansion.

Another brocade guard tied the horse in the left lane to the stake in front of the door, and then stretched out his hand to the left lane.

Zuo Dao nodded slightly, and then directly followed Jin Yiwei into the capital commander's mansion.

The two of them walked all the way through the mansion and came to the door of the capital commander's study.

Jin Yiwei opened his mouth and said, "My lord, the envoy of Zuo Zhen is here. ”

Immediately, Cao Xiang's voice came from the room.

"Enter."

The voice fell.

Jin Yiwei gently opened the door and stretched out his hand to the left road.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao walked directly into the study, and also saw Cao Xiang, the commander sitting behind the desk.

It was the first time he had met the legendary commander.

Compared with what he imagined, his appearance was much more decent, but the scar on his left eye made him look quite resolute.

And his strength is unfathomable, at least in terms of his current strength.

I can't perceive the approximate strength of the person in front of me at all.

Cao Xiang glanced at the left road in front of him.

Like Zuo Dao, he had only seen Zuo Dao in portrait paintings before, as well as Zuo Dao's life.

It can be said that Zuo Dao's identity is in Jinyiwei, and it can be said that he is a good seedling.

His father and his ancestors were all Jinyiwei.

Now even he has become the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, and he is still pulled out by himself.

In the current world, he can be regarded as a reliable subordinate.

After Zuo Dao saw Cao Xiang, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Humble Zuo Dao, I have seen the commander of the envoy." ”

Cao Xiang put the file in his hand on the table and asked, "Can you understand my previous message?" ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he also knew what Cao Xiang meant in his heart.

Immediately spoke: "The commander of the capital said in the letter, and the humble position can be understood, but in that place in Youzhou, with the Zhao commander in the matter, the humble position will only be disliked by people in vain." ”

When Cao Xiang heard this, he smiled and said, "You are blaming me for sending someone to pick your peaches." ”

Zuo Dao hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be humble." ”

He looked at Cao Xiao and said, "Since the lord sent Zhao Yanshi over, there is naturally a reason for the adult." ”

Cao Xiang glanced at the case in front of him and said, "Zhao Lin is too lazy, he has the strength of a little grandmaster, but he only wants to enjoy the joy of family. ”

"If this person is a hero, it is fine, if it is a brocade guard, it is not suitable."

"Either sharpen his temperament in Youzhou, or quit the Jinyi guard business, but if he withdraws, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive."

Hearing what Cao Xiang said, Zuo Dao showed a look of surprise on his face.

He originally thought that Zhao Lin was a narrow-minded person, but now from the mouth of the commander, he seemed to have misunderstood.

In those days when I went to the Demon Division, I was afraid that I was spreading resentment.

After all, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept going to Youzhou from a prosperous area like Kyoto.

Especially this kind of person who wants to have a good time.

Zuo Dao said with a little embarrassment: "I see, it seems that I misunderstood Zhao Yi's matter." ”

Cao Xiao smiled: "Although Zhao Lin doesn't look like a good thing, but among the Jinyi Guard, he is still a rare heroic. ”

Zuo Dao scratched his head and said, "Then I transferred a group of brocade guards under my command to Kyoto, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules." ”

Cao Xiao said: "There are no rules, it stands to reason that with your merits in Youzhou, coupled with your strength at the level of a little grandmaster, I should promote you to be a commander." ”

"But now that the situation is changing, it's not a good time, so I promoted you to be a pacification envoy before."

"Do you have any complaints about this?"

When Zuo Dao heard this, he said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, how can a lowly position have such an idea." ”

Cao Xiang looked at the file on Zuo Dao in front of him, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that sending you into Youzhou to sharpen it would not be effective in at least three or five years. ”

"But I didn't expect that you could make such a big name in Youzhou, and your strength has improved so quickly, but I underestimated you."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he could only smile and respond.

After all, who would have thought that he would have that kind of golden finger on him, and such a speed of entry is difficult for ordinary people to guess.

Cao Xiang glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "When I was in Youzhou, I asked you to find the Qinglong Dao Seed, but the document said that you lost the Qinglong Dao Seed and went to the hands of the two big demons. ”

Zuo Dao heard that when he was about to say what happened in the 100,000 mountains before, he said it nine points of truth and one point of falsehood.

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Cao Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "In this matter, you can fool them, but you can't fool me." ”

He looked to the left road, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Afterwards, I sent people to the 100,000 mountains to investigate, although I did not find the bodies of the two big demons, but I also found some clues. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's whole person froze in place, and the whole person was a little bad.

He originally thought that all the Dao species in his body had disappeared, and even if he was a martial arts immortal, he might not be able to detect it.

But he didn't expect that this commander acted so carefully, and sent people to explore the 100,000 mountains afterwards.

And also traced the place where the two big demons died.

Cao Xiang stood up, disappeared in place in the next second, and the whole person appeared behind Zuo Dao.

During this period, Zuo Dao only found a general trace.

In other words, if this commander made a move on him, he might not be able to survive even a single move.

According to his previous speculation, this capital commander should be at the level of a great grandmaster.

It's comparable to Yan Chixia, but maybe it's better than Yan Chixia.

But now it seems that this is not just a little stronger, but much stronger.

The late stage of the Great Grandmaster?

Or is it the pinnacle realm, approaching the martial arts immortals?

Cao Xiang raised his hand and patted Zuo Dao's shoulder, and said: "The dispute between the Dao and the Dao is obtained by chance, and this matter is determined by heaven, and it is difficult for ordinary people to figure it out. ”

"It's a bit of a surprise that you've survived the 100,000 mountains."

"As for the matter of the Qinglong Dao Seed, being refined by you can be regarded as your chance, and your little sect master's strength should be obtained from this."

"I won't do anything to you because of this, as long as you are still my Jinyi guard, then you are my Great Wei person."

"This time I summoned you to Beijing, I wanted you to wait until after the imperial examination, and then enter Kyoto, to find a position for you to command the affairs, stay for a few years, and then be named the commander of the Tongzhi, as my right-hand man."

"But I didn't expect you to enter Kyoto ahead of schedule."

"Since I have returned to Kyoto, I will rest in Kyoto for a few days, and after a while, I will enter the Fusi of Beizhen and act with Zhao Yuan."

"After the imperial examination, I will promote you to the commander and do things for me."

Hearing Cao Xiang speak, Zuo Dao hurriedly responded: "Thank you, sir." ”

Cao Xiang pushed open the window, looked in the direction of the palace, and said: "Now that the land of Kyoto is changing, Pudu Cihang's side, you had better deal less with this person." ”

"You should be able to see that this man is a demon, and one day he will die in Kyoto."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao spoke: "Obey orders." ”

Cao Xiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down!" ”

Zuo Dao replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

forthwith

Zuo Dao cautiously exited the room and closed the door to the study.

Wait until the left lane is gone.

Cao Xiang stared at the direction of the palace and muttered, "Ancestor, what are you doing?" ”

Over the years, he could feel more and more that the breath of Pudu Cihang's big centipede was getting stronger and stronger.

It's even approaching him.

If it continues like this, for a maximum of three or five years, no one will be able to subdue him except for the old ancestor in the depths of the palace.

At that time, the entire Great Wei was in danger of overturning.

Cao Xiang sighed deeply, then closed the window and sat back down at his desk.

……

The other side.

In the palace.

Pudu Cihang was in that Buddha hall, telling Emperor Cao Yan about Buddhism.

Cao Yan sat under the Buddha statue, holding the two concubines in her hands, and nodded while eating the fruit fed by the concubines in her arms.

After a long time.

Cao Yan opened his mouth and said: "What does the National Teacher think of this imperial examination reform? ”

Pudu Cihang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha! The poor monks should not have intervened in this matter, but this imperial examination reform is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

"Nowadays, there are frequent demons in various parts of the Great Wei, and only by reforming the imperial examination system can we deal with the next crisis of the Great Wei."

When Cao Yan heard this, he laughed and said: "The National Teacher's words are very good, but how can this Great Wei crisis be avoided by the reform of the imperial examination." ”

He said unruly: "The reason for this matter lies in the Divine Palace. ”

"The old ancestor is old, and this Great Wei should be handed over to me with confidence, not Cao Xiang's martial artist."

"Are you right? National Teacher. ”

Pudu Cihang said with a smile: "This matter is very right, if Your Majesty has any sending, you can tell the poor monk." ”

Cao Yan shook his head and said, "With the current strength of the National Teacher, even that Cao Xiang can't be compared, let alone the old ancestor in the deep palace." ”

"Master Guoshi, it's better to rest, live a few years, and then do great things."

When Pudu Cihang heard this, he said, "But this official spirit? ”

Cao Yan said: "Later, I will send someone to send a list to the National Teacher, and the officials on the list can provide you with official energy." ”

"It's just that this matter is more secretive, don't let that Cao Xiang find out the traces."

Pudu Cihang smiled: "Thank you official." ”

When Cao Yan heard this, she laughed, and then stood up directly, hugged the two concubines and walked towards the back of the Buddha hall.

opened his mouth and said: "Little beauty, let me see how powerful I am today." ”

Looking at Cao Yan, who was leaving with a beauty in her arms, the smile on Pudu Cihang's face was even stronger.

He took a list from the eunuch beside him, and when he saw the names on the list, he shattered it.

Pudu Cihang stood up, clasped his hands at the Buddha statue and said, "Amitabha! Good, good, good. ”

Forthwith.

Pudu Cihang turned and left the palace.

……

Left Road Mansion.

Wang Dynasty and Ma Han practiced martial arts in the backyard, and they were quite popular.

The people in the house gathered around the periphery one by one, and their faces were quite envious.

After Zuo Dao returned to the mansion, he threw a book of exercises in his hand to the dynasty and said, "This secret book is beneficial to you, you can try it." ”

After Wang Chao took the cheats, his face was full of surprise, and then he hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Zuo Dao glanced at the dynasty and said, "Three days later, you will be transferred to Beizhen Fusi and work with us. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chao nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

forthwith

Zuo Dao looked at Mahan and said: "You will follow the dynasty, when you first come to Kyoto, you can walk around and see the prosperity of Kyoto, after a while, I am afraid that there will be no such leisure time." ”

Mahan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

After Zuo Dao finished explaining the two of them, he returned directly to the room.

Wang Chao looked at Zuo Dao's back, frowned slightly, and said, "Why does your lord look a little restless today?" ”

When Ma Han heard this, he said with a big grin: "Restless? I didn't see that, according to me, I still listened honestly to adults, and spent a few days in Kyoto, I have never been in such a prosperous city. ”

"I don't know what the difference between this Kyoto Golan and those poor and remote places is."

Speaking of this, Ma Han looked fascinated and muttered to himself: "In my opinion, this little lady in the Kyoto hook bar should be more fragrant, softer, and more glamorous." ”

Wang Chao glanced at Ma Han with some disdain, and said, "When you came to Kyoto, the first thing you thought about was this?" ”

Ma Han said: "What? Don't you want to? ”

Wang Dynasty said proudly: "Wang is a family person, how can he go to a place like Goolan with you." ”

After saying that, he walked out directly.

in the room.

Zuo Dao looked at the backs of the two leaving, closed the window, and sighed silently.

This Kyoto is really not a good place.

I'm afraid I'm going to suffer an old sin now.
