After talking about the business, the rest was just casual conversation. Li Mu didn't care much about the affairs of the imperial court. He knew all the important things. Jinyiwei's intelligence network could not be spread all over the world due to manpower limitations. Key operations could still be done.
The five big cities we arrived at, Chang'an, Luoyang, Fengxiang, Shuzhou and Taiyuan, all have strongholds of Jinyi secret guards. They send messages through carrier pigeons and falcons, which is faster than the eight hundred mile express. The news is always one step ahead of others.
The secret guard has a dedicated person in charge of the news. They summarize it every day. Dugu Jiu will tell him important things. He basically knows what Eunuch Gao said. What he doesn’t know has also been deleted by Dugu Jiu.
Not very important trivial things.
Although he knew it, he didn't show any impatience when Eunuch Gao said it. The old eunuch had good intentions after all and was worried that he was not well informed in Luoyang and that he didn't know what was going on in Chang'an, so he was one step slower than others.
Because of Yuan Tiangang's incident, the two of them were considered allies, but Eunuch Gao was a close relative of Li Shimin, so he couldn't blatantly say what he wanted to say, so he could only express what he wanted to say through casual conversation.
Li Mu was thinking about looking for Miss Lu, and was a little absent-minded and spoke little. Eunuch Gao also noticed it, so he stopped talking to him and started chatting with Ma Zhou who was sitting with him. Ma Zhou was very fond of Eunuch Gao.
Grateful. When he first served Li Shimin, he didn't understand the rules in the palace. Eunuch Gao taught him many things, so he always felt grateful. Eunuch Gao was also quite optimistic about him, strictly speaking.
To put it bluntly, people like Ma Zhou are what Li Shimin is really looking for. He comes from a poor family and has the talent of a prime minister. Based on Eunuch Gao’s understanding of Li Shimin, Ma Zhou will definitely be reused in the future. Now that they are on good terms with each other, it will also be beneficial to him.
benefit.
After the banquet, Li Mu arranged an independent small courtyard for Eunuch Gao and his party. As the chief historian of the mansion, Ma Zhou was in charge of these matters. After a long absence, Ma Zhou was also thinking about the affairs of the court, so he took the initiative to stay longer.
After a while, he chatted with Eunuch Gao. Li Mu didn't stop him. He knew what Ma Zhou was thinking. He had no choice but to come to Luoyang. If possible, he still wanted to return to Chang'an, and Eunuch Gao was his way out.
He must have been counting on Eunuch Gao to put in a nice word for him in front of Li Shimin and find an opportunity to transfer him back. However, he was obviously naive about this matter. Li Shimin's real purpose in letting Ma Zhou come was
The purpose is to let Ma Zhou stay in Luoyang to learn his skills. He won't be able to go back for a while, and no matter how he works, it will be in vain.
Li Mu didn't bother to know what they were talking about, so he was tipsy, knocked on Jin Chen's door and went to sleep.
…
How could Eunuch Gao not know what Ma Zhou meant? He had a good impression of Ma Zhou, but he couldn't go against the trend and go against Li Shimin's wishes. He politely gave Ma Zhou a few words to ask him to correct his mentality and give up.
The thought of returning to Chang'an was to make a long history in Luoyang. Ma Zhou understood what Eunuch Gao meant, felt a little depressed, and left after not staying long.
After Ma Zhou left, the small courtyard became quiet. Eunuch Gao took off his shoes and socks. The godson who was accompanying him fetched water and washed his feet. He took the water and went out to pour it. Eunuch Gao moved the oil lamp to his side.
He moved, took out the money bag from the middle of his robe, and counted the silver ingots inside. Li Mu handed it to him casually when he had just finished eating. Eunuch Gao counted it again and found that it happened to be ten big coins.
Yuanbao, a total of one hundred taels of silver.
"Master Marquis is always generous with his actions." Eunuch Gao sighed, held the money bag in his arms, fell on the bed, and flicked his fingers, and the oil lamp went out. He had to go to bed early. Although there was a fast horse, if there was no tomorrow,
If he got up early, he wouldn't be able to get there before the palace door was locked. There were still so many things going on in the palace, so he had to go back early.
When the internal energy is cultivated to a certain level, the inner breath will naturally circulate when sleeping. When the mind is calm, the six senses are even more sensitive than when they are not asleep. The "Sunflower Book" created by Gao Eunuch has already been practiced to the state of transformation.
.The six senses are sharper than ordinary people. He was just about to go to sleep when his ears suddenly twitched and he opened his eyes again. He didn't see any movement. He had already put on the clothes. What's even more amazing was that he still had the time to do it.
The money is hidden.
The person who came seemed to have no intention of taking action. He tapped his toes on the ridge of the roof and then swept eastward. Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment and did not alarm anyone. He also calmed down and followed the sound to identify his position.
As soon as he left Tiance Mansion, another figure swept out of the wall and got behind Eunuch Gao. He kept a certain distance and followed leisurely.
Eunuch Gao glanced back and said nothing. He just followed the shadow in front. The three people seemed to have a tacit understanding and flew past the mansions. A quarter of an hour later, the person who led Eunuch Gao over stopped.
, Duke Gao recognized this place, and walking forward, there was a wharf. The grain transported by water was transferred here.
"Since you've led our family here, let's show up. What's the point of hiding? Are you planning a sneak attack?"
"Who's hiding it? You old eunuch, you take yourself too seriously." That's what he said, but what followed was a pair of sharp axes coming out of the thorns. This ax was fast and urgent.
, rushed towards Eunuch Gao's waist. If he couldn't avoid it, he would be split into two pieces in one go.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Eunuch Gao pulled out the soft sword from his waist and faced the ax blade head-on. The soft sword was made of an unknown metal, but when faced with the powerful and heavy axe, it was not broken. The two weapons intersected and exploded.
The fire flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Eunuch Gao followed the force and took a step back, stretched out his body and stepped back three meters, widening the distance.
"It's you, you are indeed not dead!"
After seeing the person coming clearly, Eunuch Gao showed a serious look on his face. His kung fu has reached an advanced level, and there are not many people in the world who can make him show such an expression. What a coincidence, the person in front of him is
One of them.
"The enemy is not dead, how can I die? Old dog, you killed my brother, and today I want you to pay with your life!" He said this but did not move. It was obvious that this man also knew the danger of Eunuch Gao.
When masters compete with each other, a single flaw can lead to loss of life. She just missed a hit, and if she rashly attacks again, she is seeking death.
"Aunt Rong, I never expected to meet you. That's good. If you are in Luoyang, your lady must be in Luoyang as well. If I catch you, I can find your lady!"
"You overestimated old dog, you knew you would be able to defeat me?" Aunt Rong scolded and then said, "Even if you defeat me, you will die. If you want to know the whereabouts of my young lady from my mouth,
You have become blinded by eating lard!"
Eunuch Gao changed the direction, trying to find a loophole, but Aunt Rong didn't give him a chance, and she also followed the direction, always facing him. Suddenly, Eunuch Gao was heard shouting urgently: "Boy, not yet."
Take action? Her cover is at the back of her neck, stab her in the back of the neck!"
It was said that it was too late, but it was so fast. A train of swords flashed through the night. Dugujiu leaped in the air, drew his sword, and stabbed out. His movements were smooth and smooth. This sword was as fast as lightning. Ordinary people could not even see it, let alone stop it.
clear.
But this fatal sword failed to kill Grandma Rong. Just when the tip of the sword was about to hit Grandma Rong, Dugujiu's figure suddenly froze, as if the pause button was pressed while watching a video.
, the whole person stopped in mid-air.
Dugujiu didn't hesitate at all, he stabbed back with his hand, and a strong force came and threw him away.
Except when he fought with Li Chongyi, Dugujiu had never felt such great power. He couldn't think about it anymore, and there was a sharp pain in his back. He hit a tree, and the branches pierced his clothes and left traces on his back.
There are bloody paths.
Aunt Rong sneered: "Old dog, don't think you are the only one who brought a helper, I brought one too!"
A huge boulder hit him head-on. Dugujiu quickly borrowed strength from the tree trunk and flew several meters sideways, finally escaping the fatal blow.
"Pei Yuanhu?" Eunuch Gao recognized this person and shouted. He boasted that there were no more than ten people in the world who could make him feel 'fearful'. Why was he so unlucky today that he met two of them at once?
"It's me!" The man responded and pressed forward. He didn't use a weapon, only a pair of hands. A pair of hands that were larger than ordinary people clenched his fists, like a child's head, and shined
Eunuch Gao's head was smashed off.
Eunuch Gao was hiding while shouting: "Both of these two people practice evil martial arts. They are invulnerable. If they don't hit the cover, they can't be killed. Oh, they are the most incompatible with us. If
It would be great if the big man is here, he can beat them both by himself!"
"What nonsense, the big man isn't here!" Dugujiu found the opportunity to chop a few times, but he couldn't do it. It wasn't that his sword was not sharp, but that this man's skin was too tough, like rhinoceros leather armor, and he could only chop.
If you cut it once, you won't be able to get in at all. If you cut it three times in a row, you might be able to get in, but they are not dead, so how can they give you the chance to cut three times in a row?
This is like an assassin encountering a violent battle. The opponent's defense is high and the attack is high. If you hit him, he won't hurt, but if he hits you, you will die. It's not a matter of who is higher and who is lower. It's completely a conflict between professions.
"You can't win!" Dugu Jiu tried a few more times. His opponent seemed to be hurt by being slashed, but there was no blood. The offensive was still fast and fierce. Eunuch Gao's side was already at a disadvantage. His weapon was already at a disadvantage. He was so stubborn.
One time it was just barely, but several times in a row, his soft sword couldn't hold it anymore.
"Run!" Eunuch Gao shouted and retreated to Luoshui: "Both of them don't know how to swim, so they'll be fine if they dive into the water."
"I -" Dugu Jiu was young and energetic, and didn't want to run away, but there was nothing he could do at this time, and Eunuch Gao, as a senior, had no face. After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was nothing he wanted, so he also asked Luoshui.
He retreated and tried to escape by diving.
"ah!"
Suddenly there was a scream, and Dugujiu looked back and saw that Pei Yuanhu had fallen to the ground. Seeing that something was not going well, Grandma Rong immediately gave up the chase, chose the opposite direction, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
