Perhaps he was accustomed to the desert outside the desert where the wind and sand were like knives, and when he first arrived in the prosperous place, Xu Beiyou was a little overwhelmed and suddenly lost his mind, so the first three days he walked into Zhongdu, he had been wandering aimlessly, and it was not until the fourth day that he began to think about how he should gain a foothold in Zhongdu. www.biquge.info Then he sadly found that he had no skills, and it was difficult to make a living if he wanted to make a living, and the only way out seemed to be to join the army.

However, Xu Beiyou is used to being at ease, if he is not really desperate, the bound army is unwilling to go, but fortunately he still has three hundred taels of silver, far from the point of exhaustion, and he is not too anxious, after finding an inn to live temporarily, he decided to go to the Taoist temple in the capital city first.

When Emperor Taizu fought the world, Daomen made great efforts, so after Emperor Taizu sat on the throne, the status of Daomen also rose, not only was it named the state religion, but even the real person in charge of the sect was also named the national teacher, and he was extremely prosperous. For a time, the Taoist sect overtook Confucianism and Buddhism, becoming the head of the three religions, and various places began to build Taoist temples on a large scale, and the people also converted to Taoism.

There is no Taoist temple in such a poor place as Xiaofangzhai and Danxia Village, at most there are a few wandering Taoist people, but they are not the same, ranking one of the four capitals in the world, there is the largest and best Taoist temple in the northwest, Chonglongguan.

Xu Beiyou is barely half a believer, since he has come to Zhongdu, there is no reason not to go to Chonglong to take a look.

Chonglongguan is located in the inner city, which is also the ultimate that ordinary people can go, and then go up is the mansion of the powerful in a continuous row, guarded by armor, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. As for the palace at the top, only a vague outline can be seen, which is out of reach.

A black carriage drove past the high courtyard wall of Chonglongguan, and there were two people in the carriage, both dressed in black brocade robes, the difference was that one person's brocade robe was embroidered with flying fish, and the other person was also in the same style of brocade robe, but it was missing the flying fish pattern.

The so-called flying fish, its shape is the head of the dragon, wings, fish tail, embroidered with the flying fish pattern of the official uniform is generally called the flying fish suit, according to the law of the Great Qi, non-three grades above the official can not wear the flying fish suit. And there is an unwritten rule in the officialdom of Daqi, the flying fish suit is only worn by high-ranking officials inside the secret guard, so the identities of these two people are self-evident. For the world, the dark guard is undoubtedly a very terrifying name, up to the dignitaries, down to the common people, for this name are all feared like tigers, because the secret guard is the most intuitive embodiment of the emperor's will, has the power and responsibility to detect the world, although it is nominally under the command of the metropolitan governor's office, but in fact it is directly under the emperor, with the edict, independent of the criminal department and Dali Temple, self-contained.

Since the Secret Guard Mansion is known as the detective of the world, in addition to the White Tiger Hall located in the imperial capital, there are also branch offices in various places, and the branch government has a governor and a governor, and the government is divided into states, and there are inspectors in a state, and there are inspectors in a county, and a county has a supervision envoy, and there are three governors in the White Tiger Hall in the imperial capital, who are in charge of the overall situation, and are called the troika of the Secret Guard Mansion by the world in private.

Now is the beginning of the dynasty, there is no chaos of conferring names, except for those princes and princes, a high-ranking official is still very expensive, except for a few people such as the first assistant and the governor of the capital, no one can live in a product, even if it is the secret guard governor is only the second product, only the palm print of the governor is specially added from the first rank, the governor is the same as the second grade, the governor is the third grade, and the inspector makes the third grade.

Although there is only one city in the central capital, it is equivalent to the level of a state, and it is also the core of the entire Northwest Secret Guard.

The current secret guard inspector of the central capital is surnamed Lu, and his single name is a sinking character, he is the secret guard inspector of the central capital, and he is also temporarily taking the errand of the governor of the Northwest Secret Guard Mansion, and it can be said that he is one of the most powerful people in the entire northwest region.

Lu Shen lifted the curtain and looked at the Taoist temple wall that was constantly receding outside, his face sank like water, and asked, "Ji An, are all arranged?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was a little restrained, and replied respectfully, "According to the deployment of the adults, everything has been arranged. ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "I have a nephew who has come to Zhongdu recently, and he may not be able to get away later, so this matter will be handed over to you to preside." ”

The middle-aged man lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

Lu Shen lowered the curtains, looked at his henchmen and subordinates, and said slowly: "Remember, this is a big deal. If this is successful, you and I will not have to go any further, I can remove the pronoun in front of the governor, and you can also take another step from the position of the inspector and take over the position of my inspector. ”

The middle-aged man's face showed a little excited, "Humble Lord Thank you." ”

Lu Shen smiled, but there was an inexplicable hint in his smile, "If you say thank you, it's still too early to say, this matter was personally explained by Fu Dudu of the White Tiger Hall, saying that there can be no half-point difference, if the matter is messed up, although it will not make me lose the official hat on my head, but in our secret guard, it is remembered by the three governors, and I don't want to go further in this life." ”

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and then he couldn't stop nodding.

Lu Shen closed his eyes, revealing a bit of a drooping old state with twilight, and said half-to himself: "As for my nephew, it is not a simple role, he came from the Palm Seal Governor's side, maybe he heard some rumors, I have to go over and deal with it personally, neither side can be lazy, neither side can offend." ”

The carriage came to the Dark Guard Mansion located in the northwest corner of the central capital, Lu Shen got off the car alone, at this time there was already a person waiting for a long time in the side hall of the Secret Guard Mansion, and after seeing Lu Shen, the high-ranking official in charge of the authority of the Northwest Secret Guard, walked in, there was neither awe nor flattery, but he just got up to perform the junior ceremony, just like seeing the elders in his own family, Lu Shen did not feel anything wrong with this, and a friendly smile appeared on his face that had become cold because of the perennial contact with all kinds of private things, and said gently: "The official business is here, so that the nephew has been waiting for a long time." ”

If Xu Beiyou was here, he would recognize that the person in front of him was the white-clothed boy Duanmu Yu riding a "heavenly horse", Duanmu Yu at this time looked leisurely, and laughed softly: "It's the little nephew who is disturbing Uncle Shi." ”

Lu Shen smiled and waved his hand, and after the two of them sat down, he asked: "The northwest is bitterly cold, especially in winter, the snow is crushing people to death, and the nephew does not go to the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, but it makes Uncle Shi a little puzzled." ”

Duanmu Yu smiled indifferently: "I really don't hide it from Uncle Shi, the little nephew's original intention this time was to travel outside the Saiwai, but before leaving, my father had an instruction to me and asked me to give Uncle Shi a few words." ”

The smile on Lu Shen's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Nephew, please speak." ”

After more than half an hour, Lu Shen personally sent Duanmu Yu out of the Secret Guard Mansion, always with a gentle smile on his face, until Duanmu Yu rode away, these smiles that made people not see the slightest hint of flaws slowly faded.

Maybe it was too long since he had smiled so warmly, and Lu Shen's expression was a little stiff.

A woman in a black brocade robe quietly appeared behind Lu Shen and said softly: "My lord, these noble sons from the imperial capital seem to be courteous and courteous, but in fact, their eyes are above the top, and they may not be able to look down on us local characters in the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Shen narrowed his eyes, and his tone was cold: "That's right, but we can't stay in the northwest for a lifetime, we always have to go back to the imperial capital, since we want to go back, pave the road in advance, there is no harm." ”
