Imperial Capital Chapter 185 Predecessors of the rivers and lakes

However, the relationship between Banzong and Liu Xin is closer than that of the other thousand households.

Liu Xin also felt that Ban Zong was serious, hard-working, and would not have any careful thoughts, and he was a person worth befriending.

The two entered Nanzhen Fusi hand in hand, and as soon as they entered, they saw two thousand households riding on horses and leaving through the side door.

I can't even wait for the meeting.

Liu Xin and Ban Zong glanced at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

When I arrived at the door of Dai De'an's room, I heard that Dai De'an was in a hurry inside, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Why hasn't the Liu Guy come yet! Ban Zong people! Let you know, people! ”

A few Jinyi guards did not dare to come out until Liu Xin and Ban Zong appeared at the door.

"Huh? You're finally here!

Panzong, you are on a team with me. Liu Xin, you and Lord Chen are on a team, you must be fast!

I'll tell you about the specifics on the way! ”

Dai De'an didn't even have time to scold, and when he saw the two of them, he urged.

Dai De'an went directly out of the door of the duty room, and Ban Zong left with him.

Liu Xin saw three middle-aged people in white practice clothes in Dai De'an's room.

Although it was a bit strange to dress like this in the middle of the night, Liu Xin could faintly see the bright yellow vest inside from the corners of their white practice clothes.

Liu Xin suddenly had a guess about their identity.

One of the three of them was oddly tall, and the other two were fat and thin.

The three of them looked kind, and they all smiled when they saw Liu Xin.

"This is the young talent that Qin Guogong fancies, Liu Yanshi, it looks really extraordinary."

The fat man in one of them said.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, don't talk about it here, Your Majesty can't wait!"

The thin man and the fat man didn't speak in a good tone, but they were extremely kind to Liu Xin.

"Liu Yanshi, the three of us won't look at the secret words.

This matter also asked Liu to worry a lot.

Let's talk on the way! ”

"Okay, say on the way."

Liu Xin didn't ink either, and the four of them got on the horse together and left the Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen.

"Liu Yanshi, good horse!"

The fattest one among the three was Lord Chen that Dai De'an said, and he looked at the red rabbit under Liu Xin's seat and sighed.

Liu Xin looked over, and the three of them were all treasure horses, and this praise was obviously just polite.

So Liu Xin smiled and didn't take the stubble, but asked about business.

The fat man smiled bitterly and said:

"Two treasures have been stolen from the palace, and Your Majesty is furious!

The point is, all the thieves fled!

Your Majesty has decreed that the whole city should be arrested, and these thieves must be caught before dawn! ”

"Who is so bold!

And you can steal treasures from the palace! ”

Liu Xin was shocked, he thought that something had happened to the imperial city, but it turned out to be the imperial palace.

That's where His Majesty lives, and he was robbed and let the thieves escape.

In case of accountability afterwards, I am afraid that a large number of people will be implicated.

Just when the four of them rode their horses through two or three streets away, Guo Yong was able to rush to Nanzhen Fusi, but at this time, Nanzhen Fusi was already empty, leaving only a disciple and Guo Yong staring at each other.

"The thief is the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts of the White Lotus Sect and the three missionaries, and there are also a large number of masters, and the number of martial artists in the Dacheng Realm exceeds the number of double ten!"

"Even so......"

Liu Xin listened to the fat man's words, and couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes.

"The guards of the imperial city, and even the guards of the imperial palace, shouldn't be broken through by just twenty people?"

"It shouldn't be!"

The thin man on the side answered, his face full of gloom.

The three of them are guarding the area near the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace tonight.

Something went wrong, and the three of them couldn't escape the blame, although there was a reason for it.

"The thieves seem to have a map of the imperial city's defenses, so they have taken advantage of the loopholes, and we are able to find out...... Already vigilant enough. ”

The thin man sighed, his tone helpless.

"Yes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days."

The fat man chimed in.

"Actually, it's useless for you to explain to me!"

Liu Xindao.

"I know, let's just see, it's okay to explain it like this, after all, once this incident comes out, no matter what...... Hey......"

The fat man didn't finish his words. suddenly realized that some things were not suitable for Liu Xin to say, so he closed his mouth.

"This mission is to find the thieves of the White Lotus Sect and recover the stolen treasures!"

The thin man said.

"Can you tell me what treasure is missing?"

Liu Xin asked tentatively, he had no intention of getting an answer.

But the fat man said it directly to Liu Xin.

"It's a map of His Majesty's Imperial Study."

"Huh?"

Liu Xin felt that this was not a treasure, but what the thin man said next directly made Liu Xin open his mouth wide and poured a mouthful of cold air.

"There is also the heirloom jade seal!"

No wonder this matter is so anxious, even Dai De'an, the old silver coin, can't sit still, and goes out in person.

At the beginning, he was not so active in dealing with Wang Zhongjie.

The four of them crossed the street, and Liu Xin had already judged the information transmitted by Zhang Jing through the lights of the watchtower in the distance.

Zhang Jing analyzed that the thieves of the White Lotus Sect were divided into five ways and scattered and fled, and Liu Xin and the other four were responsible for pursuing one of them.

Instead of heading to the larger outer city, the thieves went in the direction of the north of the inner city.

Could it be that they have something to set up there.

However, in addition to the general direction of the thief's escape, Zhang Jing has not yet analyzed the specific escape route of the thief.

Because although it is convenient for the watchtower to deliver news at night, the news fed back to Zhang Jing at the same time is also the least.

As a result, it is difficult for him to analyze more precise information.

The White Lotus Sect thief is very particular about the time he chooses.

However, in addition to the watchtower, Liu Xin also has a help.

As he passed through certain streets, he saw a code left by the covert investigation team.

I think Senior Brother Cheng has received the news and specially sent someone to give him a hint.

With the help of the covert investigation team, Liu Xin was very sure that he would be able to catch the people of the White Lotus Sect.

As for why the covert investigation team was able to deliver information at almost the same speed as the watchtower.

Liu Xin chose to ignore it for the time being.

As long as the secret investigation team is strong enough, Liu Xin will care about some of its little secrets.

With the help of the covert investigation team, Liu Xin went in one direction almost with a clear goal.

The fat and thin men looked at each other behind him, and there seemed to be hope in their eyes.

Although His Majesty treats them like brothers.

But this mistake was not only a mistake in official business, but also a slap in the face.

They are dedicated to the safety of His Majesty.

Such a mistake was enough to make them ashamed and want to die to apologize.

"I smell it!"

Just as the four of them rode around a street corner, the face of the strangely tall man who had not spoken from beginning to end changed and said loudly.

"Huh?"

Liu Xin turned his head suspiciously, but saw that the fat man and the thin man showed surprise on their faces at the same time.

"The old man has his own secret skills. I can smell the smell of the thieves.

It means that the other party is not far from us, and they must have passed by here! ”

The fat man explained.

Liu Xin was stunned, there was such a miracle.

He couldn't help but glance at the tall and thin middle-aged man more.

A name popped into my head.

It was a master who had disappeared from the rivers and lakes for a long time.

As time passed, it didn't take long for the tall, thin middle-aged man to shrug his nose again.

"The smell of the neighborhood is strong. The person we're looking for is probably nearby. ”

Liu Xinyan patted Chitu's head, and Chitu immediately stopped.

Chitu's legs were gently lifted and lowered slightly, without making much noise.

And the eyes of the other three people fell.

Their mounts didn't make much noise.

But this is all thanks to their superb riding skills, and Liu Xin has become one with his mount.

In this case, his strength in fighting on horseback can be greatly enhanced.

There was a hint of envy in the eyes of the three of them, but they didn't say much.

They are all masters who have been famous for a long time, and they will not be red because of a little thing.

"Let's split into two groups and search.

I followed Liu Yishi.

Lao Xin, you will follow Lao Lang! ”

The fat man is clearly the boss of this trio.

What he said, the other two nodded without hesitation, and Liu Xin had no reason to refuse.

Still, he took a closer look at the tall and thin middle-aged.

The surname Lang should be right, it is the character in his memory.

Jianghu people are called "touching the sky gibbon", good at making a long whip, the whole person is ten feet tall, the arm span is also long, and the whip method is extremely powerful.

is a master who became famous on the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago.

Later, for some reason, it disappeared.

But when he became famous, he was already a middle-grade Dacheng realm martial artist, and his cultivation now is even more profound.

There was an emergency before, but he didn't expect to open the attribute panel at the first time.

Regarding the property panel, Liu Xin is actually not too familiar with the application.

And with his knowledge, he doesn't need to use the properties panel to assist him in many cases.

He could discern many of the situations himself.

Looking at the attribute panel of the three people at this moment, Liu Xin was already sure that they were His Majesty the Emperor's personal guards.

It is rumored that Emperor Xuyang has three classes of guards around him, and the number is no more than a hundred, but he has the strength to push the rivers and lakes.

It is rumored that the leaders of these three classes of guards are all grandmaster-level figures.

Liu Xin, of course, knew that this was just nonsense.

However, each of the three classes of guards was able to compete with a grandmaster, which his master had personally told him.

Since even the Holy Sect Sect Master said so, then there was definitely no need to question this matter.

I didn't expect these three to be seniors.

In addition to the "touching gibbon" Lang Jun, the other two are also famous heroes on the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago.

Because of His Majesty's guards, it may be because of Shangguan Ba.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu City dominated the rivers and lakes, and countless people from the rivers and lakes successfully entered the imperial court.

Although the rivers and lakes are free, there are always crises.

This crisis is certainly nothing to some advanced cultivators.

But it's not a good thing for their families.

Jianghu market, grievances and hatreds. Kill people at every turn, the whole family, old and young.

Ruthlessness is not much lighter than the battlefield.

Therefore, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who have experienced a lifetime of grievances and grievances. When you get the opportunity, you are willing to enter the court and be stable.

Not to mention becoming His Majesty's guard, with this level of relationship, their descendants will also be able to enter the court and enjoy stability.

The rise of the rivers and lakes began when the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom occupied the magpie's nest and captured the city of Nanjing in the Central Plains.

forced the Han people to the south of the Yangtze River.

The Han people living under the control of the Northern Barbarians must have strong force if they want to protect themselves.

Since then, the prototype of the rivers and lakes has been born.

Then after the restoration of the Emperor Wuyang, the capital of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Capital.

In the process of recovering the country, the heroes of the rivers and lakes contributed a lot, so the imperial court allowed the rivers and lakes to carry swords.

The second rise of the rivers and lakes was the period of Emperor Kangyang.

The three people in front of them rose during that period.

Don't look at them, they only have the cultivation of the mid-grade Dacheng realm, but when it comes to combat power, they are definitely in the same realm as Lu Ziheng.

And they also have one thing that young dancers don't have, and that's experience.

Even if the combat power is equal, any one of the three fat men can beat Lu Ziheng.

You can also hang him.

After Liu Xin figured out these joints, he looked at the fat man beside him, and the kind smile on the latter's face immediately became a disguise for the deceiver.

It's the killing intent that can stab you in the back at any time, not the smile.

"Liu, what's wrong?

What's wrong with the information on the watchtower? ”

Seeing Liu Xin's unnatural face, the fat man immediately asked, his tone extremely gentle.

But Liu Xin knew.

[Fish Hidden Sword] is a unique science of assassination.

Seeing that the fat man did not have a sword hidden on his body at all, Liu Xin knew that this fat man was a person who could stab the deadly sword at any time and with any movement.

Liu Xin subconsciously distanced himself from the fat man by two steps.

The fat man's face was slightly moved.

He didn't expect this young man's perception to be so keen.

Generally speaking, such actions will only appear on those who have the same qualifications and combat power as him.

Ordinary people can't feel the monstrous murderous intent he hides.

As a fat man who positions himself as an assassin killer, what he is most proud of is not his cultivation or his own strength, but his ability to hide his killing opportunities.

Liu Xin and the fat man began to grope their way towards the alley ahead.

This generation is a treasury, there are the treasury of the imperial court, and there are also the treasury of the people.

Therefore, the houses here are neatly repaired, criss-crossed, and the distances between them are about the same.

The four of them divided into two groups and flanked them from both sides.

In fact, the main force is still in the skinny and skinny middle school years.

With the innate ability of a thin senior student, he should be able to find the rebels of the White Lotus Sect soon.

However, just as Liu Xin and the fat man walked through an intersection, in the darkness of the alley they passed, a faint cold light slowly appeared.

"The news that is being delivered from the watchtower is already lagging behind for us.

There are no watchtower spies here.

Naturally, it was impossible to pass the intelligence information back and let Zhang Qianhu analyze it. ”

Liu Xin said.

"I see, although the role of the watchtower is not small, it is not omnipotent.

After that, it's up to us.

By the way, can Liu Yan be nervous? ”

"Nervous about what?"

Liu Xin's heart tightened, it was nothing, but now that the other party asked like this, it immediately made him a little nervous.

But none of this is visible on the surface.

"Of course, for Liu Yanshi, this case is over.

The thieves of the White Lotus Sect dared to break into the imperial city and steal treasures from the palace.

Let's not talk about their guts.

Let's just say that their strength should not be underestimated.

Although the White Lotus Sect is said to be a cult, the majority of believers are the most feared by the imperial court.

And although their high-level strength is good, it is a little inadequate compared to other demon sects.

However, in the end, they still made such a big case.

If they can't be apprehended today, Your Majesty, there will definitely be thunder over there.

When encountering such a big case, did Liu Yan ever be nervous? ”

"Nervousness doesn't ......"

The fat man looked at Liu Xin with a little surprise, he didn't expect Liu Xin to be not so afraid of Huangwei.

"Because the treasure was not lost in my hands, I just came to assist in the investigation of the case.

Nothing to be nervous about. ”

“……”

The fat man was speechless for a moment, and the fat on his face was squeezed together.

He didn't expect that the reason why Liu Xin was not nervous was this.

But also, this case has nothing to do with him, and of course he doesn't have to be nervous.

On the contrary, I was a little nervous.

Since becoming His Majesty's guard, he has never made such a mistake.

"This bunch of dogs, don't be found by me, I must slaughter them!"

Therefore, for the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, he secretly swore that he would slaughter one when he saw one.

There were only two or three people in the entire White Lotus Sect, and he was a little jealous.

The fat man suddenly said cruelly, which made Liu Xin slightly puzzled.

But the next moment, the two stopped at the same time.

The sound of a fight could be heard faintly in the distance.

"It's Lao Xin, they've found the White Lotus Sect rebels!"

The fat man's face changed suddenly, and then the whole person stood up on the spot, and without seeing him exert himself at all, he had already come to the wall on one side.

The whole action is like a flow of water, only for a moment.

Before Liu Xin could react, the other party had already disappeared into the wall.

"This senior is a little anxious!"

The people of the White Lotus Sect, he had fought against each other, and with their strength, they were properly crushed against these three seniors.
