Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness. Read"

Tsui Hark bowed and saluted.

"No courtesy." Zhao Xu waved his hand.

Now Tsui Hark is no longer as secretive as before when he comes in and out of the palace.

The reason is that in the past, he himself was a spy and was responsible for spying on intelligence, so it was not appropriate to reveal his identity.

But since taking control of the four counties, Tsui Hark no longer needs to personally spy on intelligence.

He spends most of his time training members of the Flame Guard and establishing intelligence bases.

So after careful consideration, he decided to let Xu Lie come from behind the scenes to the stage.

Officially led Yanwei as an official.

Just like the intelligence ministers of contemporary countries.

Their identities are public, but what their affiliated agencies do is secret.

However, he would naturally not claim to have a Flame Guard.

Tsui Hark's external identity is not the leader of Yanwei.

In order to supervise officials, government agencies also have their own regulatory agencies.

This is similar to the function of Yushitai.

In the four counties, this is called the Supervisory Yuan, and there are three officials in the Supervisory Yuan.

After that, he established the Fourth House, and Tsui Hark was the supervisor of the Fourth House.

However, unlike the other three courtyards, it is under the jurisdiction of the government.

He demanded that this fourth house be placed directly under his responsibility.

Therefore, it can be said that Yanwei, a name that arouses more vigilance, is no longer available.

There is only the Fourth House of Supervision.

As soon as Xu Hark took office, according to Liu Fu, many officials changed their minds after hearing about it.

To them, the fourth courtyard directly under the royal palace was simply a sharp sword hanging over their heads.

What they don't know is that the Fourth House is actually an intelligence agency.

Of course, it is not unreasonable for officials to think so.

After all, the Fourth House does have information about them.

"What's going on in Qinzhou?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The Ma family has dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are currently gathering at Sizhou Ferry." Xu Ke said.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The troops of the eight powerful clans are basically around 150,000.

For this reason, when Yuan Li had 150,000 troops, his mentality expanded and he called himself the ninth most powerful clan of Dasong.

"How is the investigation of the Ma family and his son's case going?" Zhao Xu asked again.

All reasoning is meaningless without actual evidence.

"Back to Your Highness, according to the information I received, someone saw a carrier pigeon flying out of the Ma family's residence on the day the Ma family father and son were involved in the accident."

After a pause, he took out a short arrow from his cuff. The arrow was black and only as long as a finger.

"This is the arrowhead picked up from Ma Han's escape route, while the other arrowheads have been cleaned up." Tsui Hark presented the arrowhead.

Zhao Xu nodded, "There are carrier pigeons flying out. It seems that there is a mole in the Ma family, and this sleeve arrow is not something thieves usually use. From this, it seems that Ma Xuan was indeed killed by collusion between people inside and outside."

"Probably so." Tsui Hark said coldly.

Zhao Xu looked at Xu Hark and could not see any change in expression on his face.

Ever since he took over Yanwei, he seemed to have an increasingly cold temperament.

It seems that there is no way to do this. After all, intelligence agencies are hidden in the dark.

"Moreover, after Ma Chong arrived at Ma's house, he quickly got close to Ma Jin. This mole is probably Ma Jin." Tsui Hark continued.

"Are there any clues to the Dou family?" Zhao Xu asked again.

"Not yet." Tsui Hark bowed.

Thinking that the war in Jinzhou was still the most important issue at the moment, he paced and asked, "Is there any movement in Xiliang?"

Mentioning this, the corners of Xu Hark's lips slightly raised, "Three months ago, Xianguan obtained a Ding from Wuwei, Xiliang, and arranged for members of the Western Academy to sneak into Xiliang with this identity. Now they have successfully infiltrated into Wuwei City. According to the information he sent back, According to the news, not long ago a Dasong team entered Wuwei City and met with Cui Yan, and later met with Li Xin, the aide of Xiliang Shanyu. "

Zhao Xu was shocked. This was an extremely important issue for him.

It doesn't matter if Dasong people go to Xiliang.

After all, there are middlemen everywhere who benefit from both sides.

But there is a problem when meeting Cui Yan.

"Do you know what they talked about?" Zhao Xu asked.

"I don't know, because Cui Yan is well known in Wuwei and everyone knows that he is a traitorous general of Dasong, so it is difficult to cover up his every move, but other things..." Tsui Hark felt a little powerless.

Zhao Xu smiled and patted Tsui Hark on the shoulder, "It's good to be able to do this. After all, you can't become fat by eating one bite."

And with this news, it was worth his vigilance.

When Da Songren went to see Xiliang Shanyu's staff, he must have a big plan.

It seems that the only thing that can be planned at the moment is Jinzhou.

After asking Xu Hark some more questions, Zhao Xu ordered Xu Hark to go back.

The next day, a mighty grain transport team set off from Yancheng to Feihu Pass in Shanggu County.

Three days later, the soldiers and horses heading out to Jinzhou gathered outside Yancheng. Zhao Xu put on his armor and set off again.

"Your Highness, you must be careful. If you really can't win, run away. Don't show off." At the door of the palace, Feng'er wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

Luan'er also cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining with rain, and she couldn't stop crying.

Although they were also worried about what happened to the Yuan family last time.

But this time King Yan went to Jinzhou and fought against Xiliang.

When they arrived at a place where the people were familiar and the place was unfamiliar, they felt uncertain.

Zhao Xu shook his head. What he wanted to say felt unnecessary, so he simply rode away.

Otherwise, I will cry and send you away without knowing when.

With such a big movement, the people in Yancheng were also alarmed.

They watched King Yan leave, closed their eyes, clasped their hands together and began to pray.

"Hey, His Majesty the King of Yan has a really hard life. He has just put down the rebellion in Yanzhou, and now he is going to attack Xiliang." A commoner said.

"No, His Highness King Yan must come back safely. The four counties cannot live without him." Another person said.

"God bless you."

"..."

War horses tramped through the streets.

The people's concern and concern for him warmed his heart.

He has always believed in the saying, "Everyone is for me, and I am for everyone."

And that's exactly what happened.

Changing his mind, his governance of the four counties during this period has undoubtedly made his position in the hearts of the people more stable.

Arrive at the west gate.

Chang Wei was already waiting and entered the team. With the sound of a horn, the royal army marched forward.

…

Sizhou Ferry.

Hundreds of ferries transported Ma family soldiers to the other side of the Jin River.

At this time, he looked relaxed, without any nervousness before the war, more like he was on a long trip.

The people from Xiliang came back and brought good news.

Xiliang agreed to perform a play with the Ma family.

He was relieved when he received Xiliang's reply.

The Ma family and Xiliang have been fighting fiercely in the northwest of Dasong all year round, so he naturally understands Xiliang's strength.

If we really want to fight to the death with Xiliang, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot of losses.

And in this way, the Ma family does not need to sacrifice men and horses this time, but can also fulfill its promise to the Dou family and weaken King Yan's strength. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"King Yan, don't blame me. Who makes you so hated?" Ma Jinsen smiled while looking at the rolling Jin River.
