From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The deserted streets were dark and gloomy. Even the moonlight could not shine through the dense branches of the old locust tree.

There were two guards standing under the archway at the end. Xiaoying was not afraid at all. She walked over like a little girl, swinging her pigtails.

"Stop!"

The guard shouted, drew his sword, but frowned.

"Little girl? Why are you here? Go back to sleep!"

He put away his sword and winked at the person next to him, indicating that there was no problem.

Xiaoying smiled and showed a waist badge, saying, "I want to go in and report the news!"

The guard came over and looked a little strange. The new centurion was so elusive, why did he let a little girl of twelve or thirteen report the news?

But it didn't matter. Who made the centurion rich? It would be great if I could also enter the Inspection Department.

"Come with me. You don't know where this place is. If you barge in, you'll get yourself killed."

He stretched out his hand and said, "Girl, hold my hand. I'll take you."

Xiaoying tilted her head and looked at him, but she didn't say anything, just giggled.

"You're still shy, kid."

The guard led her forward. As they walked, the guard suddenly found himself a little dizzy and fell to the ground.

Xiaoying smiled and said, "You want to trick me? I know how to get there!"

She turned around quietly and went straight to the Inspection Department from another road. When she came to the door, she saw two more guards.

So he quickly took out his badge and said in a deep voice: "I am here on the orders of the centurion. Let Gao Biao come out to see me immediately."

The guard was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wait a moment."

Soon, Gao Biao came out and saw the badge and immediately said: "What did the centurion say?"

Xiaoying thought for a long time before whispering: "Thunder fell from the sky to frighten the people, and rain fell in the valley to nourish all things."

After saying that, she left because she was unsure and didn't know if she remembered it correctly.

Gao Biao was also confused.

What does this mean!

It's so literary, like a poem or a couplet, I don't understand it!

Forget it, let's find Lord Wang!

He came to Wang Ang's residence, saw Wang Ang, and said this sentence out.

Wang Ang was also confused now. He was also an uneducated person and didn't understand it very well!

"You go down first!"

Wang Ang sent Gao Biao away and brought this sentence to Xiong Kuohai.

Xiong Kuohai narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "It seems that Zhou Yuan is going to take action. There is no deep meaning in this sentence. The first sentence tells us to create confusion to attract the opponent's attention, and the second sentence tells us to find another way to do what we should do."

Wang Ang said, "But it doesn't mention how to create confusion and how to do what we should do!"

Xiong Kuohai said, "Do you want him to chop off the head of the rebel leader and put it in your arms!"

"Ahem!"

Wang Ang understood this sentence, which probably meant to curse.

"The message was brought to us, which means it's our turn to contribute. What power do we have? We only have the Jinyiwei Qianhu Division."

"It means that we should take control of the Qianhu Division as quickly as possible. This is what we should do."

Wang Ang suddenly realized and couldn't help but said, "Your Excellency is wise."

Xiong Kuohai said, "It's a deliberate attempt to confuse the enemy. Zhou Yuan must have guessed that the other party has spies watching this side, so let us attract the other party's attention."

Wang Ang raised his thumb and said, "Your Excellency Xiong is worthy of being..."

"Shut up!"

Xiong Kuohai glared at him unhappily and said, "The situation over there may be urgent, otherwise there wouldn't be even a letter. There's no time to waste."

"You should immediately ask Gao Biao to take the people from the Inspection Department to the east of the city, under the banner of thoroughly investigating the smuggling warehouse, and they are not allowed to come back before dawn."

Wang Ang said seriously: "Yes!"

Xiong Kuohai also stood up, looked at the backyard outside the window, and murmured: "The old fox wants to watch the fire from the other side of the river and get himself out. It's a pity that this matter is too big to allow for neutral people."

He put on his official uniform, strode out, and went straight to Qianhu's house.

As soon as he approached, the lights of Qianhu's house lit up.

Xiong Kuohai was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "What an old fox."

...

"Inspection Department? Went to the east to catch smugglers?"

Lu Hanxing narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted: "It's really a blind cat bumping around, no clue, send two people to follow and report the news at any time."

After speaking, he was a little worried and whispered: "There is no news from the south, right?"

The subordinate said in a deep voice: "Report to the thousand households, everything is normal in the south."

Just as the voice fell, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a Jinyiwei walked in and said anxiously: "Sir, there is a fire in the south."

Lu Hanxing stood up and said in a serious voice: "The casino in the south of the city is suspected of human trafficking, immediatelySummon the imperial guards and follow me to the south."

He strode out, but saw an old man with a group of Jinyiwei, surrounding him.

Lu Hanxing's face changed, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Master Qianhu."

Ye Mian smiled and said softly, "Master Lu, where are you going in the middle of the night!"

Lu Hanxing said, "I just received intelligence that the gambling house in the south of the city is suspected of human trafficking, and I am going to deal with it now."

Ye Mian nodded and said, "Master Lu is dedicated to his duties. He should not be just a deputy master. What conditions did that person promise you? Could it be the commander of the Jinyiwei?"

Hearing this, Lu Hanxing felt cold all over and subconsciously stepped back.

Until this time, the crowd parted, and Xiong Kuohai strode out.

He squinted and smiled, "Master Lu, your heart is as high as the sky, but unfortunately your life is as thin as paper!"

Lu Hanxing shouted, "Come here! Come here! "

Xiong Kuohai said: "Who is coming? Do you think I have been in charge of the Southern Pacification Division for so many years in vain? I can't even control a thousand households?"

Lu Hanxing looked ashen, slowly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Xiong, I am also forced to do this!"

Xiong Kuohai waved his hand and said: "Drag him away. "

……

The blazing fire set the entire gambling house on fire.

More than 20 female officials from the inner court and more than a dozen martial arts masters rushed into the alley at the fastest speed.

Five men in black jumped out and were directly chopped down by Zhuang Xuansu. The female officials had been waiting for this slaughter with anger.

And those martial arts masters, who had finally waited for the opportunity to serve the court, would never miss it.

They were usually risking their lives, but now they were more ruthless than each other for the sake of wealth and glory. They rushed in with blood all the way and were unstoppable.

Inside the rich gambling house, Zhou Yuan and Ye Qingying took Chu Wanping and walked all the way to the depths.

Chu Wanping said anxiously: "The place where we sisters rest is in the cellar in front, but there are always people watching there."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Wanping, don't think that the young master's sword can't be stained with blood! "

He rushed forward with a sword in hand, and the increasingly refined Pure Yang Wuji Gong was activated, and the sword energy was so powerful that the opponent was defeated.

Ye Qingying's kung fu was higher than Zhou Yuan's, and she was more experienced. Not only could she deal with multiple masters at the same time, but she could even protect Chu Wanping.

"Asshole!"

A strong man jumped out of the cellar and roared: "You dare to be so presumptuous in my grandfather's territory!"

He held a big iron hammer and smashed it towards Zhou Yuan.

The momentum was too strong, Zhou Yuan did not dare to take it head-on, and directly shouted: "Senior sister, save me!"

"Hmph!"

Ye Qingying had been holding back her anger all night, and she couldn't find Zhou Yuan to vent it, so she simply rushed towards the big man.

She said in a serious tone: "You go save people, leave this idiot to me. "

She drew out a silver-white long sword as thin as a willow branch, dodged the heavy hammer lightly, and stabbed the strong man's eyes with a sword. Her sharp sword skills forced the opponent to retreat repeatedly.

Chu Wanping was stunned and murmured: "She is really outstanding."

"Don't praise me, take me there quickly!"

Zhou Yuan pulled her up and rushed forward.
