The earth branch is another secret guard by the emperor's side, but the division of labor among the twelve beast heads is different.

And the bull head in front of Jiang Youan is the one who is responsible for acting as the eyes and ears, as well as helping the other beast heads to cover up the aftermath.

It's just that the other party has no stake in the Imperial City Division, and sometimes they will hinder each other, which is also the original intention of the emperor to set up the local branch.

The purpose is to prevent the Imperial City Division from getting out of control.

That is, in recent years, the Imperial City Division has been making every effort to deal with Tianyi Palace, so there has been no conflict, thinking about the beginning of the establishment of the Imperial City Division, there was no shortage of contradictions between the two sides.

But everyone is doing things for the court, as long as they can get greater benefits, they can sacrifice each other.

Therefore, in the face of this bull head who works diligently but has no martial arts, Jiang Youan easily shattered the other party's meridians with one palm.

And this move is Zhang Qingyi's best use move.

After killing people, Jiang Youan returned to the secret passage.

"Lao Huang, have you done everything over there?"

"It's all done, sir."

"Haha, you don't need to call me lord now, I'm no longer Fu Qian, Fu Qian is dead."

"That'...... Son? ”

"Childe can." Jiang Youan smiled, "Since that's the case, then you will be appointed as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow." ”

"Obey the order, Lao Huang, I have lived a long time, I wanted to find a petty official with you, but I didn't expect that as soon as I took office, I would be the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, this is all thanks to you."

"Don't be so optimistic, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is not so easy to be, you not only have to deal with the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, but also have to contact with the people of the local branch, don't show any horses' feet, once you show your feet, you yourself will definitely not be able to live, and even I will have to be involved at that time."

When Lao Huang heard this, he slapped his thin chest loudly: "Son, don't worry, even if Lao Huang and I are arrested, I will definitely not confess you." ”

Jiang Youan nodded: "There is no need to be like this, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to keep their mouths shut, and you can say whatever you need to say when the time comes." ”

Lao Huang glanced at Jiang Youan gratefully: "Childe......"

"Okay, needless to say, even if you saved my life in the first place, I definitely don't want to see you have an accident."

"Childe, Lao Huang must have done all the tasks you arranged."

Jiang Youan nodded.

Then Lao Huang went back to the Song Mansion to clean up the mess, and after tonight, Lao Huang would change into Song Yi and become the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

And Jiang Youan is back to himself.

Jiang Youan also went back to the room to check to make sure that there were no loopholes in the scene before quietly leaving.

……

At the same time, on the other side, Zhang Tian escaped from the Fu Mansion under the cover of his subordinates, he thought that he was powerful enough, but who would have thought that a tiger head would suddenly appear and disrupt all his plans, the ones he brought just now were the top ten masters in Tianyi Palace, and they couldn't hold up a few moves in the hands of the tiger head.

He ran lifelessly in Chang'an City, and looked back from time to time.

Just in the next moment, a burly and tall figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Tianyi Palace, less advocate heaven?"

"That's just it, I thought it was so powerful, it seems that the people of the Imperial City Division are really wasteful, and they can't even take a Tianyi Palace after so long."

Tiger Head smiled fiercely: "If you are Zhang Qingyi, then there is still a need to live, but unfortunately you are not...... Remember, the person who killed you is the head of the tiger, if you have a grudge, you are welcome to find me in the next life to revenge! ”

Zhang Tian's eyes were full of despair, but now sitting still and waiting for death is really only a dead end, so he immediately drew his knife and killed the general, but where is he the opponent of the tiger head?

After only a dozen moves, he was torn through the clothes on his chest by the opponent's claws, and then knocked out.

"It's too weak, even someone like you can be the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"I heard that you were defeated by Jiang Youan before, but he is more qualified than you, why did Zhang Qingyi give birth to such a waste as you?"

"Don't come here, if I die, my father will definitely not let you go, and you will all die then!"

Zhang Tian's eyes were about to split, but he had no way at the moment, he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't run away.

Just as he was about to die, suddenly a ghostly figure appeared behind the tiger head.

I saw that the other party was dressed like a flower child who could be seen everywhere on the street, but such a person appeared, and the tiger head didn't even notice it at all, until the pair of dry hands pierced his neck, and he didn't react.

When the other party withdrew his hand, the tiger head only felt that his throat began to leak, and his brain gradually lost consciousness.

Turning his head hard and seeing the other party's face clearly, he instantly thought of the earth seven who lived and died with the heavens in the enemy country decades ago.

Because looking at the beggars in the world, except for Di Qi, no one can kill himself so easily.

"You...... Thou art the seventh ...... of the earth Dog thief ......"

But Di Qi wiped his hand on his clothes expressionlessly.

glanced at the other party disdainfully: "You are the current tiger leader?" Far worse than your master. ”

When the tiger head heard this, his pupils shrank, and finally he fell to the ground with unwillingness to despair.

Zhang Tian, who escaped and ascended to heaven, showed a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, you are here." ”

Chen is Diqi's original surname, and after taking refuge in Zhang Qingyi, he reverted to his name.

"Well, your father is very angry about what you ran out of without permission, but he also said that since you have come, you can't go home empty-handed, the prince of Great Xia will leave the palace tomorrow, and someone will pick you up after you kill him, and only after you do this, the people of the martial arts in the world will believe you." Di Qi said slowly.

But Zhang Tian hesitated at this time, he couldn't even beat a tiger capital, how could he be able to compete with those masters around the prince?

"You can't do it?" Diqi's voice was even colder.

Hearing this, Zhang Tian hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed his fist heavily: "Yes!" ”

Then Diqi left.

Zhang Tian returned to another stronghold, because the previous one must not be able to stay, and returned from the Fu Mansion empty-handed in an ambush, he suspected that Yuruo betrayed Tianyi Palace, no, this should not be a suspicion, but the evidence is conclusive.

If Rain knew their previous stronghold, he had to change to a new place now.

It's just that so many people have been brought out, and now he is the only one left.

"If I go back like this, what face will I have to meet my father, tomorrow the prince will die at my hands!"

So he began to think about the roadmap and plan given to him by Diqi again.

It's just that he didn't notice at all that Jiang Youan had already appeared at the door.

Zhang Tian, who noticed the movement at the door, immediately raised his knife.

"Who!"

"Jiang You'an! It's you! ”

Zhang Tian's eyes were red after seeing the comer, this time he was in the capital and fell to Pingyang, everything was because of Jiang Youan.

And Jiang Youan seemed to see the other party's thoughts.

"What? Think I'm responsible for everything you're doing now? ”

"Then why don't you say that the reason why you can sit in this position is also due to me?"

"It's mine."

"Hehe, it belongs to you? You are not as good as the senior brother in terms of martial arts, and you are not as good as me in terms of mentality, do you think your father-in-law really wants to help you to the top? You're just a puppet of him. ”

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Youan shook his head: "Actually, it's good for you to be like this, be naïve, and always live happily, but your mistake is that you shouldn't come alone, as a chess piece, you have to have the consciousness of a chess piece, don't you understand?" The end of self-assertion will only be to become a weapon in the hands of others. ”

But before he finished speaking, Zhang Tian, who was already red-eyed, killed him.

"Did anyone say you're really weak?"

"No wonder you can not be suspected in Jinyiwei, with your three-legged cat's kung fu, who would think that you are Zhang Qingyi's biological son?"

Jiang Youan forced the other party back with a few random moves.

"Zhang Tian, my good brother-in-law, you go first, and I will send my father-in-law down to accompany you in the future." Jiang Youan said with a smile, and finally lightly pushed away the long knife that the other party slashed again, and then stabbed a sword into the opponent's chest.

……

Something big happened in Chang'an City tonight.

The people of Tianyi Palace attacked Fu Mansion at night, causing Fu Qian to be killed, and the thieves of Tianyi Palace were all wiped out by the people of the earth branch, leaving only Zhang Tian to flee.

In the night, Diqi suddenly appeared and killed the tiger's head.

The local branch lost a general.

……

"You killed the head of the bull?"

At night, in the courtyard where Gu An lived, there was still no light on as usual.

Gu An looked at Jiang Youan in front of him and asked.

"It was killed by someone from Tianyi Palace."

Hearing this, Gu An smiled: "You have done a good job in this matter, compared to before, you have grown a lot, this move has intensified the contradiction between the earth branch and the Tianyi Palace, and this can also allow us to insert many people, so I can reward you, do you have anything you want?" ”

"I want you to make sure my parents are safe."

Gu An smiled: "I will do this even if you don't say it, you can change it to a new one." ”

Jiang Youan stared at the other party and thought for a while: "Then I want to give you a slap in the face." ”

But who knew that after thinking for a while, Gu An actually nodded in agreement.

Even Jiang Youan didn't expect it, because this was his momentary angry words, and he hated Tianyi in front of him.

Then Jiang Youan raised his hand and slapped the other party's face.

But Gu An suddenly flashed and dodged the slap faster than Jiang Youan.

"Hahaha, I didn't hit it, I said that I only gave you one chance, and now you don't have a chance."

"You ......"

Jiang Youan was angry with the other party's brazenness.

"I don't need you, I'm here, the big husband is out of his word, and the horse is difficult to chase, let's talk about the task next, Song Yi is dead, but Lao Huang replaces him, so I plan to raise Lao Huang's position to the seventh place in the number of places, and he is the new seventh.

In addition, Zhang Tian should have been rescued by his predecessor Di Qi, and they will most likely plan to assassinate the prince tomorrow, so we can make a fuss from this aspect, but it's a pity that your Fu Qian's identity has died, otherwise if you can get this first credit, you can also rise to prominence later. ”

When Gu An said this, Jiang Youan smiled: "Zhang Tian, he is also dead, he just killed." ”

"Zhang Tian is also dead."

Tianyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled even more happily on his face: "Amazing, amazing, you can actually come this far ahead of schedule, it seems that you have really grown, in this case, the prince who should have been protected can also die, because only in this way can the demise of Tianyi Palace be accelerated." ”

"yes, I see."

Jiang Youan nodded, and then left.

It's just that just after Jiang Youan left, Gu An suddenly coughed violently.

In less than a moment, Gu An put down the hand that was covering his mouth just now, and there was a large pool of red blood inside.

At this time, if you look closely behind Gu An, you can see a figure in a black robe standing in the shadows.

……

Overnight, the head of the fox died, and the head of the snake was missing.

There were twelve people in the earthly branch, and there were two fewer in just one night.

"The head of the tiger died in a very strange move, he was directly pierced through the entire neck from behind with the palm of his hand, and the neck bone was punctured in an instant, as far as I know, none of the current sects use such moves."

"That's what the people from Tianyi Palace did?"

"It's very likely, but it doesn't rule out the suspicion of the Imperial City Division."

"You mean the Imperial City Division betrayed the Imperial Court?"

"Subordinate Jue ......"

"Impossible, although the Imperial City Division has always been at odds with our local branch, he will not betray the imperial court, if Gu An had this idea at the beginning, he could directly become a black hand behind the scenes in the enemy country and control a country, since he is back, it is impossible to betray the imperial court."

"Then only Tianyi Palace will remain."

"I didn't expect Zhang Qingyi's old puppet to have such a master, and sure enough, people in the martial arts should not be underestimated."

"But tomorrow when the prince leaves the palace, Zhang Tian will inevitably assassinate the prince, and we must protect the prince at that time."

……

"Yes."

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

As soon as it was dawn, the morning bell rang, and the people took to the streets, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

The first thing Song Yi did when he came to Yamen was to arrange for everyone to be under martial law on Suzaku Street and search for all suspicious people.

Song Yi took Yu Zuo to the Fu Mansion again, checked Fu Qian's body, and then confirmed that it was undoubtedly him, and then asked the people of the Fu Mansion to start preparing for the future.

In the morning, the man was put into the coffin.

After all, the evidence of this matter is conclusive, the murderer is Zhang Tian's group, and Fu Qian's identity is already noble, firstly, he is an official of the imperial court, and secondly, Fu Qian is the son of the prefect of Yangzhou, so naturally he has to keep a whole corpse, and there is no need to conduct an autopsy.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the Tiger Hall again, and at this moment the head of the dog, the head of the chicken, and the head of the horse were here.

"Niu Shou, next we will arrange someone to protect the prince, your people will respond outside, as long as they find something wrong, they will take them down on the street."

"Well, the twelve branches of the earth branch are connected with the same qi, and the tiger head must not be allowed to die in vain, and the whereabouts of the snake head must also be found as soon as possible."

……

Because there have been too many things happening in the capital recently, the emperor arranged for the prince to leave the palace this time.

The first is to let the people meet this prince in advance, and the second is to divert the attention of the people.

This is also to tell the people that the city is still very safe.

And all those who are ready to act today are watching the scene around them.

Until there was a sudden explosion in the southwest. (End of chapter)
