"I invite you all to come here today because of what happened in Tangyi last night. Regarding the case, I have previously asked you to let you know the pigeon message that was sent back this morning, so I won't go into details here.

Let me tell you what I think. In short, the person who died last night was a military camp detective, and the one who escaped was an imperial prisoner. The case is not small, and there will definitely be a big fuss next. Although the investigation is a matter for the government, we should not get involved.

, but there are some things that we must be on guard against. We don’t need to pay attention to the whereabouts of Liang Tianchuan and his accomplices, but we must find out the origins of these privately made crossbows last night, lest someone secretly make a fuss about it later. I think this matter should be

It’s not difficult to check. After all, not everyone dares to eat the bowl of decapitated soldiers. They are afraid that someone will cut off their tails to survive, so you must move quickly. In addition-" At the end, Xia Jiyao turned his eyes and looked at the station.

A young man at the place where he attacked.

This person's name is Zhao Qiuhan. He has a handsome appearance, deep eyes, and outstanding posture. He is wearing a gentian purple round-collar robe. Although the collar is turned out, it is a bit frivolous, but it is the most fashionable way for men to wear it at the moment.

He looks very chic. Compared with his colleagues in the pavilion, he seems to stand out from the crowd.

"Autumn cold." Xia Jiyao called.

"My subordinate is here." Zhao Qiuhan responded and stepped forward.

"How is the progress of the matter assigned to you before?" Xia Jiyao asked.

"As far as I can tell you, Miss, there is no progress yet." Zhao Qiuhan replied with clasped fists.

"Oh? Why?"

"Miss Mingjian, the people you asked me to pay more attention to are all old Jianghu. Not only do they have special skills, but they also have a wide range of paths. They have disappeared since they entered the city. I don't know where they are hiding. And now the twelfth lunar month is approaching.

There are many affairs at home, and there are not many people available to my subordinates. I really dare not act rashly for fear of disturbing the situation, so——" Zhao Qiuhan replied truthfully, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Jiyao with a smile.

"I didn't think it through well at the time. I didn't think about Qiuhan. You usually have fewer people and more things to do in Japan. You are already very busy."

"Miss, please don't do this, subordinate -" Although Xia Jiyao was smiling and there was no blame in her words, Zhao Qiuhan immediately sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted again.

"Well, since you are too busy, just leave this small matter to others." Xia Jiyao said as expected, turning to look at Tian Zhitang who was standing at the end of the crowd, "Zhitang happened to mention this to me yesterday.

Zhitang, I wonder what you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the Huxin Pavilion immediately became a little strange, and all eyes began to quietly wander between Tian Zhitang and Zhao Qiuhan. Xia Jiyao's move was enough to make everyone present aware of the power structure within Wutong Courtyard.

Changes are about to happen, and the only question that puzzles everyone is-why Tian Zhitang?

"This -" Tian Zhitang was also filled with astonishment and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Because he had just arrived, he thought that Xia Jiyao called him here today just to recognize each other with his colleagues, but he didn't know that the other party came suddenly like this

As soon as it came out? Especially the sentence "Zhitang mentioned this matter yesterday" just now, I don't know what kind of misunderstanding it will give Zhao Qiuhan.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener still has intention.

What if the speaker has a heart?

"Miss, this subordinate is new to the world, so I might not be able to take on this important task!" Seeing Zhao Qiuhan's expression of fear, Tian Zhitang made a prompt decision, not because he was intimidated by the opponent's strength, but because he didn't want to make enemies too early.

"It's because you're not familiar with it, so you have to get started as soon as possible, otherwise how long will it take for you to be on your own?" Xia Jiyao frowned in displeasure, but her eyes glanced at Zhao Qiuhan intentionally or unintentionally.

"I will do my best when I go here, and I will not let you down!" He couldn't resist, so Tian Zhitang had to pretend to be generous and accept the order with clasped fists.

Xia Jiyao then smiled and nodded, and said softly to everyone, "Everyone goes about his business." Then he got up and walked to the fence, standing with his hands behind his hands like a man and looking at the lake outside the pavilion. The stewards silently bowed and left, and when they were left in the pavilion, only

Among Xia Jiyao's three masters and servants, Lu Qin, who could not hold himself back for a long time, immediately approached his young lady.

"Miss, you just--"

"A heavy burden is the hardest to carry. Ever since An Guo went to the army at the beginning of the year, Qiu Han has kept the others in check. This is not good." As soon as the little maid opened her mouth, Xia Jiyao said expressionlessly.

He added with emphasis: "It's very bad."

"My maidservant understands the truth. Doesn't the emperor also have to place several chairs in the political hall?" Lu Qin suddenly said with big eyes flashing, "But do you think Tian Zhitang has this ability?"

"Qiu Ping is the one with the most high-mindedness in his life. When have you ever seen him use his lifetime reputation as a guarantor?"

"Having said that, with Zhao Qiuhan's character, after being pushed like this by you today, it will be difficult for him and Tian Zhitang to get along in the future. What if - what if -" Lu Qin stopped talking, "Oh, Zheng Anguo

It would have been better if I hadn’t left in the first place.”

"It's all for no reason, why did you mention him?" Xia Jiyao frowned and looked at her personal maid.

"My maid just feels sorry for you." Luqin quickly explained, and then asked: "Miss, what do you think Zheng Anguo thinks? He should go to the army to fight for his own future while leaving our family well-behaved.

.Isn’t this a matter of seeking the far away rather than the near? If he doesn’t leave, when you become the Marquis in the future, let him become a general instead of a captain. But he—oh—now he’s gone

It’s been almost a year, but he’s still just a little cavalryman. He’s asking for trouble! He deserves it!”

"Silly girl -" Xia Jiyao chuckled and shook her head, "Let me ask you, Meng Hongming is obviously a great talent, and he is also the emperor's long-preferred prime minister and the favorite disciple of the chief minister of the dynasty, but why do the princes in the court treat him so badly?

He has a lot of criticism? Even those who are loyal to the emperor are no exception?"

"Didn't you tell me everything? He is the disciple of the First Assistant. In the eyes of others, Meng Hongwen is what he is today because of the emperor's favor and Jiang Xiang's partiality. It is not his own ability."

"Isn't this true? From ancient times to the present, few officials who have been labeled as 'lucky' can be regarded highly by their colleagues. This is true for civil servants, and even more so for military generals. Since Anguo has ambitions to become a great leader, we should not force him to stay.

.Although I, Xia Jiyao, am a woman, I do not lack this kind of heart." After saying this, Xia Jiyao looked back outside the pavilion again, as if she was deep in thought. It was not until the sound of dusk drums came from the tower in the distance that she put away her thoughts and set off to return.

Inner house.

Hearing that the evening drum was about to pass, Tian Zhitang finally picked up his long sword and went out alone. At Zhaode Square, he joined the bustling crowds of people and cars on the street and headed straight to Nancheng. Although Xia Jiyao was very dissatisfied with what he had done before, but in turn,

He thought, this might be an opportunity, and he had already thought of how to take advantage of it.

Amidst the sound of dusk drums, the night continued to fall from east to west, gradually covering the entire city. Outside the towering city wall, the cold wind from the north that had been roaring like a ghost for thousands of years was raging, rolling up heavy snow in the sky. The wilderness was deep

Here, a simple carriage was slowly moving forward surrounded by dozens of well-dressed riders. The driver was a black-faced man wearing a felt hat. He seemed to be drowsy as he swayed from side to side, but the right hand holding the riding crop was actually

He never left the hilt of the sword at his waist, and when his eyelids fluttered, the occasional flash of light was actually colder and more terrifying than the unsheathed swords of the riders around him.

There were two people sitting opposite each other in the dimly lit carriage, and one of them was Liang Tianchuan, who had just been rescued from the Jiezi Camp last night.

"How is the injury?" After an unknown amount of time, the man sitting opposite Liang Tianchuan was the first to break the silence. I saw that his facial features were serious and his eyes were full of divine beauty. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had a sword on his waist. He was almost the same age as Liang Tianchuan, but his hair had already turned gray.<

/p>

"It doesn't matter, I'll be fine after just a few days of maintenance." Liang Tianchuan waved his hand.

"That's good." The man in brocade nodded.

"What do you want to do?" After a brief exchange of greetings, the man in robes asked straight to the point.

Liang Tianchuan had already expected this, but just smiled and didn't answer.

"Because of what you have done, both black and white will be carefully scrutinized by Meng Hongwen. You have caused us so much trouble, shouldn't we be given an explanation?"

"You really don't know?" Liang Tianchuan asked.

"Liao Shide was greedy, but he was loyal to the emperor. Most of his gains from corruption and exploitation were used on the emperor's affairs. Chizhou is the throat of Liaobei and the key to the three states. Its position is extremely important. You violated the ban first.

Killing officials, and then instigating local civil unrest, causing the entire Liaobei three states to close their doors and become a world of their own. If the local government did not handle it properly and quickly dispatched officers and soldiers to extinguish the chaos with thunderous force, I am afraid the consequences would be unpredictable. If you are just for calculation.

Yan family, it was enough to do this step originally, but you not only did not stop, but came to Liaozhou, and even more deliberately exposed your whereabouts and made a show of entering the city." At this point, the man in brocade stopped talking and leaned forward slightly.

He leaned forward, looked directly into Liang Tianchuan's eyes and said, "You have always tried your best, so you should know the truth that going too far is not enough."

"A perfect plan? You are praising me too much. If I really had this ability, how could I fail to predict the Yan family's reaction and be taken down by someone and handed over to Jie Ziying?" Liang Tianchuan said with a smile.<

/p>

"No, you have already predicted the Yan family's reaction, and you even predicted that I would take action to save you."

"You don't have to come."

"You knew I would definitely come." The man in brocade clothes sighed with regret and ridicule, "I killed more than a dozen military camp scouts for you, can't I get you to tell the truth?"

Liang Tianchuan's smile froze when he heard this, and then he slowly lowered his gaze, not daring to look at the other person again. Although the development of the matter was all within his expectation, the look in the man's eyes at this moment still made him feel extremely guilty. After all, friends are not

It’s time to plot against your friends.

"I'll just tell you everything." After a long silence, Liang Tianchuan finally collected his emotions and faced the complex gaze of the man in robes again, "I want to change the world!"

"Oh? Why?" To Liang Tianchuan's astonishing words, the man in brocade didn't react strongly and just asked lightly.

"Today, there is no justice, and both humans and gods have long been abandoned. Look at the chaos in the court, and then look at the situation of the people. The vitality of the country is about to be exhausted. This is the general trend. Why should we, the wise people, cling to the incomplete? Instead of cherishing the hope.

Foolish loyalty will die together with the devil. It is better to sacrifice foolish loyalty for the great righteousness, pick up the sword and pick another bright master, shake off the evil atmosphere in the world, and restore peace to the world. Only in this way can we live up to this seven-foot-tall body.

, A man’s ambition to achieve great heights!" Anyway, the words had been spoken, and Liang Tianchuan no longer concealed anything.

"Master Ming?" Liang Tianchuan's words were truly shocking, but the man in brocade remained calm. He raised his hand to lift the curtain and looked at the wind and snow outside the car, "I won't ask you who this person is, but if you do this,

Aren’t you afraid of being infamy for being a rebellious minister and traitor for all eternity?”

"Eternal infamy? It's nothing more than becoming a king and losing a bandit. Taizu Taizu was also a former member of the previous dynasty!" Liang Tianchuan angrily sneered, "I think when he started his army, he only had one state. After seven generations of emperors, he could not expand the territory more than a thousand miles.

Until the Zhaohua period, we and others fought bloody battles in all directions, and finally managed to unite the territory of the Nine Kingdoms, and determine the rivers and mountains thousands of miles away from the east and west! Who would have thought that in the Yuan Ye battle ten years ago, some people tried to seize the country and gained the throne incorrectly, while others were trying to gain the throne.

Que Dezhi stole the temple for ten years, only ten years! Such a huge dynasty has turned into a powerful traitor and virtuous people are in danger. The feudal kings have caused chaos and the rivers and mountains are upside down. The lives of the people are erroneous. The soldiers have been wronged and wronged. It is in vain that we sacrificed our lives and shed blood in the past! Such a great thing

Rivers and mountains, since those dragons and grandsons don’t know how to cherish them, what’s the problem for others to take them? When we take charge of the country, we will wipe out the decline of the country, rebuild our unparalleled edge, and eventually teach all nations to surrender, and China will become one universe!"

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for you to say such high-sounding words." The man in brocade was indifferent to Liang Tianchuan's rhetoric. He just waved his hand and said: "Liaozhou has limited material resources. Daily military supplies and people's livelihood needs are all depended on water transportation.

To make up for this, even if there is a change in Liaozhou, the imperial court only needs to cut off the grain supply, and then clear the fields in Chizhou to turn the Liaozhou army into tigers and bears. If the Yan family cannot leave Liaobei, all your plans will fail. Then there will be Changying.

With it in hand, it is still difficult to bind the blue dragon."

"Canglong? He is just a weak little snake who used underhanded tactics to deceive the Dragon Court. He wants to trap the Yan family to death in Liaozhou, so he is worthy? All the elite soldiers in the world today are worthy of the Liaozhou military test.

Those who compete for the edge are just Xuanfang Weiyang and Zhou Rong Changmen! What do you think, are you interested in participating in important events? With your talent, you will be able to become a marquis and prime minister in the future! At that time, you and I will serve as ministers in the same palace, assisting the new king to create an eternity.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an unprecedented prosperous age?”

"Ha--it's true." The man in brocade laughed and shook his head, "You seem to have forgotten what I said to people many years ago."

"Which sentence?" Liang Tianchuan's face darkened and he thought to himself.

"Who makes heroes laugh? How much are princes and generals worth?"

"Meng Hongwen is a very smart man. As long as he wants to investigate, he will definitely be able to investigate last night's case! I admit that I should not have plotted against you, but now that things have come to this, even if you have no intention of everlasting fame, you should do it - for

Think about it!" Liang Tianchuan was so anxious after hearing this that he could only grit his teeth and throw out his last trump card.

"You still have the nerve to mention her?" The man in brocade clothes was furious, but he quickly changed his anger and replaced it with a sneer. He glanced sideways at Liang Tianchuan and said, "That's it. It's time for me to get off the car. There is a long way to go, but I hope you can

I'll say goodbye tonight and never see you again! Cherish it." After saying that, he tore off the corners of his robe and threw it at his old friend's feet. Then he opened the door and got out of the car, leading the riders away sadly.
