The whole room fell silent.

"You ...... Do you really still want to figure it out? ”

Lin Xi's words echoed in the room and in everyone's minds.

"Wouldn't that be a 1,200 man...... The dead soldiers that Liu Xi brought into the capital, right? ”

This sentence was like a bomb, and everyone's hearts trembled.

"I see!" Yang Huaizhen was shocked: "On the day the saint returned to Beijing, the east gate happened to guard 1,200 people!" It won't ......"

Kou Zhun continued: "They want to treat him unfavorably when the Holy Lord returns to Beijing?!" ”

"But ......" Wang Dan was even more nervous at this time, he was worried that once something really happened to the saint, he would have to bear the brunt of it.

"But...... After all, the emperor was accompanied by thousands of guards, and they were only 1,200 people, so how could they be unfavorable to the saints? ”

Lin Xi slowly stood up: "But there is a place, not only will there be fewer guards to escort the city, but the defenders of the city can also be close to the emperor——"

"Where?" Wang Dan asked urgently.

"In the doorway of the city gate!"

Wang Dan sat on the chair for a long time......

Wang Dan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly reacted, and flew out.

"Pavilion Senior, Pavilion Elder Pavilion!" Looking at the door that closed with a "bang", Yang Huaizhen was about to run out.

"Everyone, take your leave, I'll go see Wang Ge Lao!"

Lin Xi waved his hand: "Lord Yang, please!" ”

Wang Dan walked out of the inn, and trotted all the way, running straight down the heavenly street to the east city gate-

"Elder Wang Ge, why are you running so fast, you are ......" Yang Huaizhen chased after Wang Dan closely, and didn't see Wang Dan stop until the East City Gate.

"What are you doing here?"

He's right...... The place is narrow and dark, and it is indeed the easiest place to be ambushed......"

Yang Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly and said, "You came all the way here just to see the city gate?" ”

Wang Dan sighed: "Although it is a big rebellion to say this, I have to say it...... If something happens here, I'm responsible. Once Liu Xi seizes power again, then I will be the first to die! ”

Yang Huaizhen only felt a headache: "You guys who are engaged in politics, you have to think too much every day, it's too troublesome......"

Wang Dan held his head: "Do you think I'm willing to think?" Wouldn't I like to be a soldier like my father? If you can't help yourself, what can you do? ”

Wang Dan sighed: "Seriously, when I am dreaming recently, I always have a hazy hallucination......"

"Hallucinations?" Yang Huaizhen smiled: "Isn't that just a dream?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's a dream or if it's reality...... I fear that I will sit in this seat for the rest of my life until the day I die of old age......"

"You're not old yet--besides, if you leave, maybe the prime minister's seat will be given to me, and I'm not uncommon to be the prime minister, I have a headache."

"You? Hehe...... Wang Dan suddenly knocked Yang Huaizhen's head with a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "You still have to worry about this?" The emperor knows how many catties and taels you have. ”

"That's the best, that's the best......"

Wang Dan hurriedly interrupted Yang Huaizhen and asked, "I said Lao Yang, do you still have soldiers in your hands?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Huaizhen was startled at first, and then said with a big head: "My lord, how can there be soldiers in the hands of the squire of the military department?" Others don't know, you don't know? ”

Wang Dan rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, let's go, come back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me." ”

Yang Huaizhen gasped: "Elder Wangge, you don't have soldiers, right?" Raising a private soldier is a big rebellion ......"

Wang Dan felt a headache and slapped Yang Huaizhen on the head.

"Oops!"

"You're big! If I were a private soldier, you would have to die here today. Wang Dan said helplessly: "There is no way, I can only pull out the hundreds of family members in my family to make do with it." ”

"How many hundred families do you have?" Yang Huaizhen was even more surprised.

He had been to Wang Dan's Prime Minister's Mansion, the furnishings in it were simple, elegant and quiet, and said that there were hundreds of family members in their family, and Yang Huaizhen didn't believe it.

"Don't believe me?"

Yang Huaizhen frowned and shook his head.

"Most of those families were left by my father, and I was reluctant to break them all, so I left them all."

Yang Huaizhen smiled secretly: "Okay...... But can a few hundred people do it? ”

"If we can't do it, we can't do it - we don't have any soldiers." Wang Dan spread his hands and walked helplessly in the direction of home.

"No matter what the process is, we still pray...... It's not going to be a big mess. ”

A crescent moon crossed the delicate attic, and a hazy yellow light was sprinkled within the vermilion wall and green tiles, which seemed extremely mysterious and quiet.

Looking from afar, the golden pavilion of the vermilion jade building stands in the city, carved beams and painted buildings, and the wrong color is carved with gold, which is enough to stand out from the crowd.

On the side of the gorgeous pavilion, surrounded by pond water, duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear.

From the outside, this place looks like a magnificent paradise of clear water.

On the top of the pavilion, there is an old and simple plaque, and there are two simple big characters on it - "Liu Mansion".

This is the mansion of the right prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Xi.

Inside the pavilion, it is unexpectedly gorgeous-

However, of course, it will not be that simple......

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!" A military attaché-looking man pushed the door and broke in, and as soon as he entered, he shouted "Mr. Liu" everywhere, as if he was looking for someone.

The little guy who led him in stopped him, "Please wait, the little one will go and ask the housekeeper immediately." ”

"I'm tired."

The one who was led in by his subordinates was the commander of the garrison, Li Xianghui.

I saw that the little guy ran to the back of a bunch of weapon racks, Li Xianghui didn't care, just a blink of an eye, and the little guy disappeared.

"Huh?"

Li Xianghui was startled and hurriedly ran over.

He just looked at the little guy standing here.

How is it gone in the blink of an eye?

"Haunted......" Li Xianghui cautiously walked back to where he had just stood, looking around vigilantly.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Xianghui turned around abruptly.

Liu Jin, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, actually appeared in the house out of thin air, and appeared in the place he had just seen!

"You, you're ......"

"General Li has a bad memory, even I don't remember?"

Li Xianghui hurriedly explained: "No, no, of course I remember...... Just, how did you get in? ”

Liu Jin smiled faintly: "Oh...... You're asking this...... Okay, I'll show you. ”

Liu Jin took Li Xianghui to the back of the weapon rack, and with a "snap" on the beam, a secret door opened, and a secret passage instantly appeared in front of Li Xianghui's eyes.

Li Xianghui exclaimed: "This, this is ......"

Liu Jin said: "I came up from here. Let's go down—"

"Huh?" Li Xianghui fought a cold war: "I ...... Shall I go down? ”

"Nonsense, don't worry, there's nothing scary down there."

Li Xianghui had no choice but to obediently go down the dark road.

He's scared, scared of what's going to happen down there—

But soon, his fear was replaced by shock.

"This, this, this ......"

The white marble pillars stand at the corners of the room, and the walls around it are all carved from white brick and stone.

Peony flowers carved from gold bloom enchantically among the white stones.

What shocked Li Xianghui the most was the four flying dragons on the four-cornered white jade pillars--golden scales and golden armor, which were vivid, shining under the lights, as if they wanted to fly into the air!

Although the pavilions and pavilions above are extremely luxurious, they are difficult to escape from the ordinary.

Who would have thought that the gorgeousness above is actually a cover for the places below that are beyond the limit?

"It's ...... Dragon Pillar? Li Xianghui trembled and stroked the golden coiled dragon on the white jade pillar.

If under normal circumstances, this is something that he will not be able to achieve in his lifetime.

Not to mention reaching out and touching like you are now—

Because it is the exclusive decoration of the emperor, it is forbidden for anyone else to use it, otherwise it will be the same as rebellion.

"This is ......"

Liu Jin smiled proudly: "This is my lord's palace—"

"Palace?" Li Xianghui's eyes lit up.

"It's a pity that it's still buried deep in the ground - but I'm sure one day, the Lord will let it appear in the world."

Li Xianghui patted Feilong's dragon body heavily and said, "I really didn't mistake your master. ”

"Hmph." Liu Jin chuckled twice in a deep voice: "My master's ambition, you shouldn't have doubted it. ”

From the moment Li Xianghui spoke, his eyes never left the flying dragon on the white jade pillar.

"Master Li seems to like it very much."

"Who doesn't like that?" Li Xianghui looked at Liu Jin with pity: "Don't you like it?" ”

"Hehe, whatever the master likes, I like. But...... Master Li, I believe that as long as you can help the master fulfill his wish, it will be from the dragon's work...... When the time comes, Lord Li will be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, just a dragon, what is the way? ”

They glanced at each other, and the two suddenly burst out laughing.

"Alright, Master Li, what are you doing here? Go ahead. ”

Li Xianghui nodded: "Hmm." At noon today, Wang Dan, the prime minister of Zuo, and Yang Huaizhen, the squire of the military department, suddenly came to the barracks, ostensibly saying that the emperor was about to return to Beijing, and they came to inspect the garrison in order to ensure safety, but they gave me the feeling that the drunkard did not mean to drink. These people asked about the roster, and I could only infer that the roster was lost, and that a new one would be made two days later. ”

"Anything else?" Liu Jin asked.

"They also asked our brothers about their names, places of origin, and when they joined the army, but the brothers were not prepared to open their mouths, thinking that they might have revealed a flaw."

Liu Jin stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Okay, there is no need to continue to think about this matter, our purpose was not this plan."

Starting tomorrow, you can get the brothers in Nanying to approach the inner city in groups. The Emperor will return to Beijing in two days—"

"Close to the inner city?"

Liu Jin sneered: "The prince in the mother's belly is about to be born - everything is about to end." ”

"To be honest, I still haven't figured out what is going on in the palace - what do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? You'll get the idea. ”

"And what about the men who were scheduled to be assassinated at the gates?"

"Don't move, let them die, and by the way, give us a little delay."
