Hearing this, Zhong Liquan hesitated for a moment and lowered his eyes.
If it's not Zhang Wu, how can we know what Zhang Wu is thinking?
It's just that what Zhang Wu has done now is highly praised by him, and he also hopes to promote a harmonious situation between the monarch and his ministers, so that both parties can work hard for the lofty ideal of "making the world free of confusion."
However, people's hearts cannot be equal, and the suspicion of the saint is not groundless.
When that time comes, although the great cause of the world has been accomplished, how to deal with the private affairs of the family? Even if Zhang Wu is indeed a "public man" and is willing to put swords and guns in the treasury for the sake of the people of the world, how can we ensure that he is free from all the troubles?
After gaining authority, will the saint be able to calm down his fear and not kill him?
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden!
And if Zhang Wu also had selfish motives, wouldn't it be reasonable for the saints today to be afraid of his usurpation and consciously occupy a precarious position?
Zhong Liquan lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "The poor Taoist is willing to persuade Zhang Wu to find out what he has in mind. After the matter is completed, it may not be impossible to put the swords and guns into the treasury and release the horses to Nanshan."
As soon as he said these words, Emperor Xuanzong just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and said instead: "It's late at night and I'm a little tired.
The real person should go back and rest early."
"Yes." Zhong Liquan bowed slightly, stood up from behind the low case, and slowly backed away. When he was about to leave the palace gate, he raised his head slightly and said to Emperor Xuanzong on the throne, "This poor Taoist priest is also here for your Majesty."
On the Xuanmen Ranking, I want to have a battle with Zhang Wu tomorrow night to decide who is the best."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Xuanzong, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, opened his eyes and looked at Zhongliquan at the entrance of the palace. He seemed to be a little more interested in Zhongliquan's words and asked him, "Isn't it true that you think this is the case?"
At this time, we should be like the light and the dust, and it is convenient for the bad commander to unite all things and rule the world. Is it strange?
Why do you have to fight with him now?"
Zhong Liquan said: "There are also many Xuanmen disciples on Zhongnan Mountain. The disciples here are all led by Pindao, but they will not easily follow others.
For this reason, there are many channels in the world, headed by Zhongnan Mountain.
Pindao fought with Zhang Wu, firstly, to test how good his practice was and whether he could take on a big responsibility; secondly, if he could defeat Pindao, then all Taoist priests from Pindao's branch would also bow their heads and obey his orders.
.
It would be nice to use the poor man's reputation as a stepping stone for him to reach higher places."
When Xuanzong heard this, his eyes darkened and he waved his hand to Zhongliquan.
Zhongliquan returned the favor to Emperor Xuanzong and then retired.
In the Xingqing Palace, the maid Gong E walked in with a lantern and filled the dimming lamps with oil. The Xingqing Palace was quiet and bright again, but Emperor Xuanzong's heart was filled with darkness.
He remained silent on the throne for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice to the tall eunuch waiting beside him: "Draw up the decree."
"promise."
The tall eunuch immediately agreed. He knelt down at the foot of the steps, spread out a large piece of paper, and dipped his brush into ink. At this moment, he heard the sage say: "Let Wang Chong lead a thousand Xuanjia troops and surround the bad guys' office tomorrow night.
Order Lu Jing to lead the Jinwu Guards on your right to strengthen inspections inside and outside Chang'an tomorrow night;
The Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Gao Miao, took the "Twelve Tablets of the Wise Emperor" from the ancestral temple and ordered the officials of Zongzheng Temple to hold the tablets and guard the surroundings of the Office of Delinquent Persons tomorrow and night.
This secret decree must not be announced to the outside world."
When Emperor Xuanzong finished speaking, the tall eunuch was already sweating profusely. He tried hard to calm down and completed the writing of this secret decree. At this time, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked the tall eunuch: "When can Zhang Guo and Na Lushan Immortal arrive in Chang'an?"
"The old immortal replied before... He and the Lushan Immortal will probably arrive in Chang'an tomorrow night..."
"Tell him to take the Master Lushan to the Office of Delinquent Persons," Xuanzong said.
The tall eunuch agreed to the matter.
…
The next morning.
In the Office of Delinquent Persons.
Chu Xuan, Zhang Fang, Wei Hong and other unscrupulous people gathered in the backyard of the office to clean up the queue, looking serious.
In the eyes of all the bad people, there is a gleam of hope.
At this time, the craftsmen of the Shengong Bureau carried wooden boxes one after another from the thatched cottage and placed them on the table in front of the queue. The number of wooden boxes corresponded to the number of delinquents of the Suppression Bureau who were currently in the queue. .
When the delinquents of the Suppression Bureau saw the wooden boxes on the record, their eyes couldn't help but become even more excited.
After everything was packed up, Su Wu and Ji Xingzhou were surrounded by many craftsmen and stood at the front of the team of bad guys who were about to set off to 'Jingshi Mountain' to search for sneaky traces.
Su Wu's eyes fell on Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan saluted Su Wu and called Su Wu a "bad commander" on this occasion. All the bad guys followed suit and saluted Su Wu and Ji Xingzhou.
"Chu Xuan, I am ordering you to take people to Jingshi Mountain to solve three things." Su Wu said to Chu Xuan and others, "The first is to seize the 'Ziji Immortal Official' who is dormant in Jingshi Mountain—— The great sage Tai Sui and the area around Jingshi Mountain are very sneaky.
Now I give you thirteen sets of human armor and some talisman armor.
At that time, a human armor can be created to imprison Tai Sui and other evil spirits, and wipe out the evil spirits and disasters in the land of Luoshui."
Su Wu pointed at the wooden boxes on the table. When the delinquents heard this, their hearts were beating fast. The eyes of the other delinquents who gathered here also flashed with light.
The things in the box are what the bad commander calls the "raw armor", and the "talisman armor" made by the talisman engraved by the wishful mantra.
Nowadays, bad people are very familiar with the two kinds of armors, namely "Shengren Armor" and "Fujia". They all know that if you can get a pair of "Shengren Armor" by your side, you can imprison someone whose level matches that of the "Shengren Armor". He uses his fierce guile to protect himself, suppress external evils, and do no harm to himself, and does little harm to himself!
As for the talisman armor, it is the same as the armor worn by the forbidden guards. They are also used to resist evil spirits, but their effectiveness is far less magical than that of human armor.
Nowadays, whether it is human armor or talisman armor, they are all extremely valuable things.
But these things can only be obtained when you are recruited into the Suppression Bureau and go to various places to suppress sneaky people.
Among all tribes, there are many bad people who are attacked by evil spirits and suffer all kinds of pain, and the stranger Jia Zhi can be said to be their life-saving straw!
According to what the craftsmen in the Shengong Bureau today say, if one can fully understand the "true meaning of heaven and man" in the human armor, integrate oneself with the true meaning of heaven and man in it, and then try to get the corresponding ink pattern tattooed on the body, then the human armor will be straight.
It can be like your own skin and flesh, and you can use your fingers on it like your arms. Relying on the protection of this armor, you can actually increase your life span!
Therefore, all the bad guys now are full of expectations to join the conspiracy and are eager to try!
Su Wu scanned the faces of everyone present and saw the expressions of many bad people.
