Chapter 175 Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Governor's Mansion Da Nei Imperial Shadow Thirteen Xiao

The emperor stepped down from the throne, personally helped the two up, and said: "Two Aiqing, please get up quickly, now not only is the court unstable, but the rivers and lakes are also abruptly changing.

"What the saint said is extremely true, if it is only one aspect, it is still easy to do, whether it is the ill-intentioned people in the court or the ambitious ones in the rivers and lakes, it is not enough to worry, and it will not shake the foundation of the court, but I am afraid that they will collude inside and outside, and the people in the rivers and lakes will have the support of the forces in the court, which will be a little tricky. After Tao Lu'an was helped up by the emperor himself, he looked a little panicked, and said respectfully but with a little worry.

"Did Tao Aiqing find any clues about the collusion between the powerful ministers of the court and the Blood River Gate?" the emperor asked.

"Holy Lord, I'm afraid it's not just the powerful ministers in the court, I'm afraid some of the generals at the border have already colluded with the Blood River Gate!" Tao Lu'an replied.

"What?" the emperor was surprised.

"Holy Lord, don't be angry, don't be too surprised, Wei Chen just came to such a conclusion from some clues, but who is in collusion with the Blood River Gate, His Majesty has not found out, and there is no conclusive evidence in his hand!" Tao Lu'an replied.

"Then Tao Aiqing, how did you come to such a conclusion, I would like to hear about it!" the emperor calmed down.

"Your Majesty, think about it, before the Xuehemen sect was officially established, it dared to order the scope of the force, and paid three out of ten commissions, and even dared to call it "tribute", the weight of taxation, and the name was also a big rebellion, if there was no support from local officials and powerful ministers in the court, or the princes of the feudal divisions, I think a just rising Jianghu sect, no matter how powerful it is, would not dare to challenge the authority of the court so blatantly, right? You must know that the imperial court has millions of officers and soldiers, and this deterrent power has steadily suppressed every sect on the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, so that no matter how high the martial arts of their leaders are, no matter how powerful they are, they can only dominate the rivers and lakes, and they will never dare to have any thoughts about the world, and as soon as this blood river gate rises, they dare to defy the disapproval of the world and openly confront the imperial courtTao Lu'an replied.

"Ah, Tao Aiqing, are you saying that the power of the Blood River Gate has completely penetrated into the local area and the court?"

"Shengshang, Weichen just said, not only the local and court, but also the border pass is already unstable, and the power of the Blood River Gate has also infiltrated the border pass, but where is it, Weichen is arranging for people to conduct a secret investigation!"

After all, the emperor was young and had just ascended the throne, his face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Tao Aiqing, what is the basis?"

"Qi Shengshang, the minister has to place the eyeliner on the rivers and lakes to protect the secret, gather more than thousands of people from Luoyang City, disguise and cross the Shanhaiguan in batches, and go to attack Muhe City, the last entrenched place of justice in the rivers and lakes. Tao Lu'an replied.

"It's indeed incredible that a Jianghu sect can entangle more than a few thousand people, and this doesn't necessarily mean that it is colluding with the border generals, right?" the emperor pondered.

"Shengshang, according to Wei Chen's subordinates, this time the Blood River Gate not only entangled so many people, not to mention attacking Muhe City, but also said that it was made up in batches, but it was almost blatant, because no matter where these people in batches went, they did not hide their identities in the slightest, these are nothing, the most important thing is that their group carried a large number of siege equipment!" Tao Lu'an said solemnly. "What are you talking about? Is the news true? They still have siege equipment?" Even Feng Dehai, who was nearly 100 years old and had a serious attitude, was taken aback when he heard this.

"Why is Old Man Feng so surprised? When they go to attack Muhe City, of course they have to bring some equipment. The emperor didn't know what to do, and asked.

"The saint didn't know, this time they carried siege equipment, not only eight-ox crossbows, rushing vehicles, but also catapults, etc., you must know that these equipment, well-made, costly, without drawings, can never be made, and it is not possible to manufacture in a short time, they not only carried, but also a lot of them. These siege and defense equipment, only the border pass generals have, a few, I will use the border pass generals, can have this thing no more than eight, the action of the blood river gate, but also completely exposed the border generals, at least two or three have been completely encircled by them, become the blood river gate people, because according to the intelligence reported by Wei Chen's subordinates, the number of siege equipment in the blood river gate is too large to be provided by a border pass, so Wei Chen expected that eight border passes, eight border pass commanders, at least three of the border generals are people from the blood river gate, not just collusion, because the unauthorized destruction and lending of siege equipment without the approval of the saint, which is equivalent to losing the city and losing the land or rebelling, it is the crime of the Nine Clans, and they dare to do this, that is, there is no way back, it can only be said that either they are desperate to follow the Blood River Gate, or these people are the people of the Blood River Gate from the beginning, if so, then it can be said that the Blood River Gate Bureau has been laid out for a long time. Tao Lu'an said a little heavily.

"Tao Aiqing, do you mean to say that at least two or three of our existing generals in the eight border passes are from the Blood River Gate, and they colluded with the important ministers of the court a long time ago, and deliberately arranged their own people to hold such important positions?"

"Shengshang, from the point of view of the old slave, there is this possibility, if it can be proved that the siege equipment of the Blood River Gate is borrowed by the commander of our border pass, I am also inclined to the view behind Tao Dadudu, maybe it is that the powerful ministers of the court have secretly colluded with the layout of the Blood River Gate for a long time, if this inference is true, then the situation is much more serious than we imagined, there may be not a few people installed in the blood river gate in the court, there may be a high-powered person, Your Majesty, think about it, what an important position the border pass general is, if there are no human ministers in the court, important ministers, how can it be successfully installedFeng Dehai hurriedly replied.

"Alas, according to this, then the Blood River Gate at least began to lay out when the first emperor was still alive, it is really his heart to be punished, but who kind of people could it be, can the two Aiqing find out which ministers in the court are different?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the current high-ranking and powerful first-rank and second-rank officials, their subordinates have not received the approval of the saint, and they do not dare to make decisions without authorization to investigate secretly, so they are not clear about which important ministers are involved, but as far as I know from the secret investigation, there are at least two third-grade commanders and three fourth-grade Si Duwei and Xuehemen have very close contacts, this time Su Baidi, the second person in the Xuehemen, came to Jingshi, although he has not yet figured out his true intentions, but he has already commanded the two commanders to make the "Heaven Turning Cloud Sweeper" Song Yuntao, and" Tiangang Dao "Wu Feng, I have met quietly, and the specific subordinates are still under detailed investigation. Tao Lu'an said, "These two people are Weichen's subordinates, usually don't see anything unusual, if it weren't for Su Baidi to come to Beijing, I haven't even sent them in the past few years, they will be people in the Blood River Gate, Weichen inspected the crime, and ask the saint to forgive the sin, the minister deserves death." ”

"Tao Aiqing, don't blame yourself too much, it seems that we still despise the Blood River Gate, don't talk about you, even I can't imagine that there will be people from the Blood River Gate among the people under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Cities and Horses, and the official residence is also regarded as a minister and an important position in the imperial court, or the commander of the capital responsible for the security of Gyeonggi, it is also careless. The Emperor said.

"Holy Lord, it's no wonder you, since decades ago, the Blood River Ancestor Peng went to unite with the Netherworld Ghost Claw Su Baidi, entangled a large number of evil masters, and tried to dominate the martial arts, the first emperor has been paying close attention to the form of the rivers and lakes, and later personally issued an order to An Tian Yao, the sword god Mei Changfeng united Tianxuan Yuji-Long Zaitian and other decent people to exterminate them, and the two sides launched a life-and-death battle in Longhu Snow Peak, both sides suffered a lot of casualties, and finally each agreed to withdraw from the rivers and lakes. Although the battle of that battle, Peng Quli and others' conspiracy did not succeed, but it made the emperor have a fear of the rivers and lakes, Longhu Xuefeng battle, An Tianmen almost all the Angels except Mei Changfeng died, and that dragon in the sky was hindered by Mei Changfeng's face to serve as An Tian's left envoy, after the war, there was no news. The first emperor deeply felt that the power on the court and the rivers and lakes was too thin, and he gave Mei Changfeng a new decree to form a new Antimen, and then gathered many masters of the rivers and lakes to hold important positions in various key mansions of the imperial court, and Tao Dadu's five-city soldiers and horses were also installed at that time, responsible for the security of the Gyeonggi Stronghold. The two people that Tao Dadu Governor said just now were added from the rivers and lakes when the emperor was in charge after the battle of Longhu Snow Peak. Therefore, this matter is not the fault or negligence of the Holy One. Feng Dehai was afraid that the current emperor would blame himself too much, so he made the ins and outs of the incident clear.

"If that's the case, then it's terrible, at the beginning of the failure, I thought of making a comeback, and started to lay it out, so it seems that this Peng Quli and Su Baidi are really not idle people!" the emperor said.

"Well, this Peng Quli is a domineering person, but Su Baidi is an old and cunning person, the two of them are embarrassed, these things, nine times out of ten, Su Baidi did it, what do you think?" Feng Dehai said.

"Old man Feng, that's right, according to my recent secret investigation, Su Baidi is not only excellent in martial arts, but also extremely deep in the city, thoughtful, and good at encompassing people from all walks of life, and is indeed a difficult opponent. Tao Lu'an replied.

"Even the Governor's Mansion of the Five Cities, which is responsible for the security of the siege of Gyeonggi, has been infiltrated, and the Gyeongshi is no longer safe, will Ouchi also have their people, is Ouchi not safe?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty can be relieved, Ouchi's safety has always been the responsibility of Old Man Feng, needless to say, the guards in the palace are all first-class masters, 100% trained by Old Man Feng, and besides, Old Man Feng should also show his family background to the Holy Lord at this time, right? Since the Battle of Longhu Snow Peak, in the past few decades, Old Man Feng has secretly adopted thirteen orphans since he was a child, and when he adopted them, they were all only five or six years old, in the past few decades, Gong Gong Feng personally taught them martial arts, and the thirteen people were awarded different secret books by Gong Gong Feng, each practicing different martial arts, and they have been distracted for decades, concentrating on martial arts, and now any of these thirteen people are afraid that their martial arts are only above me, not under me, right? Of the thirteen Ouchi secret guards, twelve of them are named after the zodiac, the squirrel, the green ox, the tiger, the light rabbit, the tyrannosaurus, the strange snake, the fierce horse, the clever sheep, the golden monkey, the iron rooster, the tengu, and the elephant pig. These thirteen people, each with their own strengths, and skillfully cooperated, with the thirteen of them here, even if there are thousands of troops, they can keep the saint unharmed. So with them guarding Ouchi's safety, there will definitely be any problems. Old man Feng, am I right?" Tao Lu'an said.

"Hey, is there really such a Great Inner Emperor Shadow Guard? I don't even know? No, there are only twelve of them? And what about the other one?" the emperor asked curiously.
