After Shangguan Yi left the Sunset Restaurant, he did not go back directly, but wandered around the street, walked as he pleased, and chose a random direction to continue when he encountered a fork in the road.

This kind of casual walking method is not famous, but Shangguan Yi wants to feel the atmosphere of Chang'an and the pulse of this city, and also wants to see the people's livelihood in Chang'an City.

He walked around for a long time, and walked faster and faster, even to the point that the person with his back to him could only feel a gust of wind passing, he looked at the drunken gold fans of Chang'an City, the lights were green, looking at the dark and evil of Chang'an City, hard work, watching these people who have no sense of crisis indulge in their own lives, intriguing for the small profits in front of them, not caring about the possible threats in the distance, and can only helplessly note in his heart that this is the current situation of Chang'an City.

In addition to shopping, in fact, he has other purposes, one of which is to see if he can feel Zhongzhen's national fortune, and then borrow a trace to break through the realm, but this purpose failed, although this is Chang'an City at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but he can't feel a little bit of national fortune for some reason, maybe it was a coincidence that day, or maybe he was dreaming?

However, Shangguan Yi is still more inclined to what conditions he needs to meet in order to get the national fortune, after all, there is still a gap between Donghai and Zhongzhen, and it is very large, so the visual method of the national fortune is not the same?

Anyway, Shangguan Yi was not in a hurry, and this time he hoped that he would be able to enter the Triple Heaven in the physical state of the Great Perfection, that is, he would consider a breakthrough after solving the problem of the unity of the divine body.

So this purpose was put on hold by him for the time being, and the next purpose was to find the black market and see if he could find some treasures to come back, such as rare ores or something.

Unfortunately, this purpose has also failed, and the black market in Chang'an only allows acquaintances or people with heads and faces to enter, and most of these people have the handle in the hands of the black market managers. This is done in order to tie everyone to a boat, and no one will be spared if they die together on the day the boat capsizes, so in order to avoid capsizing, the existence of the black market will be protected by many, many people, and it will be extremely safe.

Shangguan Yi is neither a so-called acquaintance, nor a person with a head and a face, so he was naturally ruthlessly rejected.

However, he was not annoyed, although he could call his subordinates over and introduce himself in, but in this way, he lost interest, and simply gave up this purpose, and began to wander the streets again, this time to step on something.

It's not that he wants to steal something, or to complete Cao De's task, but to know himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this Chang'an City is destined to have a bloody storm in which he participates, if he is familiar with the terrain in advance, he will be able to take advantage of it at that time, and he will not suffer if he can't take advantage of it.

After strolling around, he came to a familiar place: the Shangguan family's mansion.

The mansion is very large, and the above official Yi estimates that it is probably not much smaller than Jun Yishen's mansion, which shows how powerful this family was when it was prosperous, even if there were only a few blood relatives in the clan, but there was an endless stream of visitors, protégés, and more friends. It's just how lively it was back then, how cold and lonely it is now, the huge mansion has a closed door, and even a few lanterns have not been lit, if you look at it from a high place, some small courtyards are quite messy, it seems that few people clean them, and the feeling of loneliness is not disguised, although if you look at it during the day, it may still be the solemn and vast Shangguan family, but in fact, the Shangguan family has been down, so downcast that the owner is too lazy to do superficial work, living almost the same day after day, waiting for the day when death comes, waiting for the day when the Shangguan family really perishes。

Shangguan Yi stood in a dark corner and watched for a long time, but finally didn't go in to tell his grandfather that he was back, and chose to turn around and leave and return to the station.

Now is not the time, exposing oneself can only bring a new crisis to the Shangguan family, which has been peaceful, and it will not change the status quo, and it is meaningless. Of course, in addition to this reason for focusing on the overall situation, there is also that Shangguan Yi does not feel that he is still the original Shangguan Yi, that person is dead, although his body has not changed, but when he has replaced his soul, is he still the grandson he wants? I'm afraid not necessarily. And the communication with relatives is different from friends, those friends are made after they come over, and they don't notice any difference in themselves, but grandpa is different, he knows what the original Shangguan Yi looks like, even if he pretends to be like that, he will still find some clues, after all, although he is old, but he is not old and confused, some things happen and they happen, and they can't hide it.

If he doesn't go back, maybe he thinks that he is dead or not dead, which is better than finding out that his grandson is not actually dead, and then he finds out that he is indeed dead, not the original grandson. After all, one of the most joyful things is to lose and regain, and one of the saddest things is to lose and regain it but not the original one.

If you want to experience such pain if you lose and regain, it is better not to lose and regain, this is Shangguan Yi's own thoughts, so he is now passing through the house without entering, but he also knows that the escape is only temporary, and sooner or later he will have to face it, and now it is only the first day of junior high school, and he can pretend to be dead.

After going back, he was not in a hurry to see what was in the envelope that Cao De gave him, because if the information was correct, he had already guessed who he wanted to get rid of, this person happened to be the key person in the next plan, and sooner or later he would be killed, it was better to sell Cao De a favor again, gain some trust from him, and then use him to use his strength to complete his purpose, after all, he should not be underestimated.

When Shangguan Yi packed his luggage for tomorrow's departure and freed his hands to open the letter, sure enough, what was written in it was: Li Jinming, you can't use assassination, you want him to die and ruin his reputation, so that people can't find out anything unusual.

Li Jinming, the presiding officer of Lidu Dabi, is also a military general, and is a minister on the imperial court who is responsible for selecting talents during the Lidu Dabi.

Seeing this, plus this person and Cao De actually didn't have any enmity in the past, ordinary people may not feel anything different, worthy of Cao De's targeting, but Shangguan Yi was keenly aware of some unusual aura.

In the past, there were at least three military generals to be sent, and there were at least three Wenchen, and then there was a principal, named the chief supervisor, to supervise all the things from the top to the bottom of the capital, inside and out. The purpose of this is to prevent a faction from overgrowing, leading to a concentration of power and a monopoly on the sky. After all, Lidu Dabi is actually an alternative imperial examination, but the willing person takes the bait, and the outstanding can choose to enter the office, or they can choose not to enter the office, anyway, the reputation has been played, and you can eat anywhere, as for whether it is good or not, it depends on your own ability.

Like Lidu Dabi, the imperial examination is a type of event, in which you mention your courtiers, basically they are willing to pull you into the faction, that is called the teacher, after entering the court as an official, nine times out of ten you have to stand on the same line with the teacher, if you only send people from one faction to such a thing as the capital Dabi, not to mention whether it will make a miasma, shady, that is, the elected people, it is also from this faction, and when they get up, the strength of this faction will be greatly improved, and the result in the long run is the weakening of imperial power, so in order to check and balance, there are such rules。

But this time, there were three Wenchen sent by the imperial court, and there was only one military general, Li Jinming, who was also the chief eunuch, and basically held great power.

There must be demons when things go wrong, coupled with the battle preparations that Qian Quanlin said when he was in the East China Sea before, Shangguan Yi made a bold guess that the war on the northern front of Zhongzhen was tight, and the wolf clan in the north was no longer satisfied with fighting in the battlefield drawn out, and they negotiated a contract according to the victory or defeat, they wanted to invade Zhongzhen and seize Zhongzhen's territory to expand the border.

In this case, the Zhongzhen border must invest a lot of money, troops and generals, and the available talents selected by Dabi from the capital this time are likely to go directly to the battlefield, at most go through simple training, and Li Jinming is their boss.

This is a fat gap, not only can you reap the benefits and receive softness during the period of leaving the capital, but you can also select a bunch of your own subordinates and take them to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions. Although they are all new soldiers, you must know that these people's combat effectiveness alone must be stronger than those veteran generals, and they may be weaker in the art of war or something, but as long as Li Jinming commands properly, they can still win local battles with only some troops, and it is easy to win some merits. After all, Zhongzhen has been weak for a long time, and everyone knows that Beihan is a strong country, and if he wins, it will be a momentum, a demeanor, and a majesty of Zhongzhen!

Originally, this fat difference should have been Cao De's, and he did have the ability to achieve victory, although the possibility is very small and small, but the probability is not a fiasco, a draw, and a successful defense of the country is still possible. But because Cao De ...... He is a person, the emperor doesn't dare to use it, but he does have talent, so he has kept it, but he is very tangled and worried, but he is entangled and worried, and he is worried and worried, and there is a caring little padded jacket to help him solve problems.

Li Jinming also took the opportunity to ascend in his place, if he really made meritorious achievements, then he would lead Cao De a lot, and to some extent, basically announced that Cao De was cold. There may be a lot of middle-level cadres in the military generals, but the leader only needs one, whoever has the ability to climb up, rely on the wrist, ability to speak, the winner is king.

Originally, it was nothing to lose, but Cao De's credit was very low because of what he had done before, and the emperor didn't dare to trust him, so would Li Jinming dare to take him as a capable general? The answer is naturally no, he doesn't have the courage, and he doesn't look down on Cao De, because Cao De doesn't look down on him. Therefore, if Li Jinming ascends to the throne, Cao De will be hidden if he is not killed, as long as Li Jinming reigns for one day, there will be such a result.

Although this is only a possibility, but what kind of person is Cao De? Ambitious, arrogant, and high-sighted, you can step on my head, but you can't be a waste, otherwise why would you step on my head?

This can be seen from Shangguan Ren, his father who did his best to assist Shangguan Yi at the beginning, although the things behind him were very difficult, but the person who wanted to do it was not Cao De, he could only be said to be an accomplice.

It's a pity that although Li Jinming has some strength, he is not as good as Cao De, not to mention that Cao De admires him and throws himself to the ground, so Cao De wants to get rid of Li Jinming. It's just that this division is very particular, although it is his hand, but it can't be suspected of him, and the slightest loophole can't be left to others. After all, as the biggest beneficiary (if Li Jinming dies, the errand will fall on him 100%), he is already very suspicious, and if there is a little bit of evidence that seems to be able to be hammered, he will have to follow the cold, and those who fall into the well will not be merciful.

So Cao De found Shangguan Yi's head after several twists and turns and asked this guy to do this.

However, he also knew how difficult it was to meet his requirements, so there was no time limit, as long as Shangguan Yi completed it before Li Jinming became a climate.

Of course, as a cunning old fox, he will not hang himself from a tree, after all, Shangguan Yi may not die if he fails, but his future is cold, he can't afford to gamble, it is better to be safe.

Regarding Cao De's thoughts, Shangguan Yi felt very clearly, because if he were Cao De, he would make the same choice in his current situation, but fortunately, he is not him, so he doesn't have to be trapped.

Yes, Shangguan Yi is not optimistic about Cao De's future, if he keeps this monarch on the throne, he will never come out. There is a suspicion called the monarch's suspicion, you may not have done it, but I suspect that you did, and even I am afraid that you will do it, so I don't give you a chance to do it. If he let Li Jinming die in a daze, even if there is no evidence pointing to Cao De, the emperor's suspicion will make him wonder if Cao De did it, and if someone fanned the flames, it doesn't matter if Cao De did it, what matters is how to kill Cao De.

Even if he did a good job and let Li Jinming die like a fool, the emperor would only be kind to Cao De for the time being, and if he reused it, there would be other candidates in the future. Because he was afraid, he didn't dare to lift Cao De to a position like Qian Quanlin in the East China Sea, his strength could not tolerate such a person, as long as he appeared, he would not think about tea and dinner, and he would not sleep day and night, for fear that one day this person would enter the palace with soldiers and cut off his head.

Because...... He is not the one who controls Cao De, in Cao De's eyes, the emperor is also an incompetent stupid pig, as long as Cao De climbs to the position of the emperor one day, he may consider how to usurp the throne, although it is still early, but the emperor's worries are actually meaningful.

Shangguan Yi actually doesn't care about this, and what he wants to be is the person in the emperor's heart who replaces Cao De to control the forces of the generals, as long as he gives the emperor this kind of hint, he will promote himself crazily, let himself be full-fledged to suppress Cao De, and give him a feeling of peace of mind, this is what Shangguan Yi wants, so he will temporarily help Cao De, instead of finding a way to get rid of him, because he may also be the next Cao De, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late, there will always be a suitable opportunity.
