Taiping Inn

After Li Xuandu withdrew his gaze, the woman also turned her head and concentrated on the road.

The distance between the two sides became larger and larger, and finally the woman on the donkey disappeared at the end of the official road, just like countless passers-by on this road, after passing by, there was no intersection again.

Yan Feiqing turned a blind eye to this woman. Since Li Xuandu did not ask, he did not say anything to explain.

The world is so big, there are many extraordinary people.

Li Xuandu began to recall the journey. He first met Bai Chouqiu from the Hun Tian Sect, then Chen Guhong from the Zhen Chuan Sect, then Wu Shifan from the Wu Dao Sect, then the palace official from the Yin Nu Sect, and then the old man Zang from the Zao Ge Sect. Unconsciously, he had met five people from the evil sects, and each of them was more prominent than the other. This did not include several sects from the twelve righteous sects, from the Taiping Inn of the Taiping Sect, to Yu Qingning of the Xuan Nu Sect, to the Cihang Sect, Shenxiao Sect, and Zhengyi Sect. I am afraid that there are not many people who can enjoy such treatment in the world.

But Li Xuandu did not want such an honor at all. He had not arrived at Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou, and there were already such swords and swords. When he arrived at Longmen Mansion, what kind of big waves and tides would he have to face?

Whenever he thought of this, Li Xuandu felt a headache.

The reason for this is not that Li Xuandu is so special, or even because he is the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, but because of the master behind him, he has become very important. It's just that these outsiders don't understand that with the character of his teacher, he may be influenced by him, but it is difficult for him to change his mind easily because of a disciple, so these people are afraid that they have worshipped the wrong god and burned the wrong incense.

It's just that he didn't say these words on purpose, but no one believed them when he said them, and they were mistaken for excuses.

There are too many smart people in this world, and they always think more. As a result, no one believes the truth, but everyone believes the heart-piercing words that are concealed.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly.

The little girl looked up at him, her mind full of confusion.

Li Xuandu smiled and rubbed her little head, without saying anything.

Only the little girl would take his words as the golden rule, and would believe them whether they were true or false.

Otherwise, why do people say that the pure heart is the most rare.

Li Xuandu let out a long breath, climbed onto the horse, and then stretched out his hand to pull the little girl onto the horse, letting her sit in front of him. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly and ran forward.

...

Compared to other government offices, the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office in the imperial capital seemed a little bit inferior, and even a little shabby. But this was understandable. After all, it was under the emperor's feet. Not to mention the various government offices, there were also the cabinet and the Silijian on top. No matter how powerful the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office was, it dared not give others a handle in public.

However, because the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office was directly under the emperor, it had a noble status. Unlike other personal military offices scattered in the inner city alleys, it was close to the Chengtian Gate, the main gate of the imperial city, on the west side of the Qianbu Corridor, adjacent to the Grand Governor's Office, and across the street from the six government offices on the east side. It was located in a core position, second only to the cabinet and the Silijian in the imperial city.

The gate of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office was guarded by armored Qingluan Guards. Anyone who approached would be detained and interrogated, not to mention entering. Even a hall official could not enter without an imperial decree.

The Qingluan Guard Governor's Office was divided into the South Office and the North Office. In a small and dim confidential room in the North Office, there was nothing but a kang, a table and a cabinet. A woman in a second-rank military officer's robe embroidered with lions was sitting cross-legged on the kang. Her face was shrouded in dim light and shadow, and it was unclear.

A Qingluan Guard in green knelt in front of the kang and presented a secret letter with intact wax in both hands.

After Empress Dowager Xie came to power, she imitated the Empress Dowager's deeds. In addition to using eunuchs, she also began to use female officials. Not only were there eight female officials in the palace, but there were also many women in the Qingluan Guard. This woman was one of them. Since she was wearing the official robes of a second-rank military officer, there was no need to guess her identity. She was one of the three right governors of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office.

The woman's surname was Lu, and her name was Bingyan. Before becoming the right governor of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, she had served as a female official in the palace. She was famous for her high level of cultivation and ruthless actions. Since the second year of Tianbao, as the confidant of the Empress Dowager, she had arrested the four ministers' followers and arrested and executed countless officials. After she stepped on the blood of countless civil officials and military generals to ascend to the position of the right governor of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, as one of the three right governors of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, she was in charge of Chuzhou Division, Luzhou Division, Jiangzhou Division, and Jingzhou Division. Qian Xing, Bai Chouqiu, and Gu Fengxian, who had already died, were all her subordinates.

Lu Yanbing took the secret letter, but didn't rush to open it. She bent her index finger and tapped it lightly on the table, raised her head and asked, "What else did Gu Fengxian say?"

As she raised her head, her whole face emerged from the darkness. It was a very beautiful face, but as her name suggests, her expression was cold, like a piece of ice in the cold winter. Coupled with her undisguised cold murderous aura, people were daunted and then afraid.

The Qingluan Guard who was half-kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise his head at all, and replied: "Reporting to the governor, Gu just said that the governor should open it in person."

Lu Yanbing then opened the secret letter in her hand. The two pages of letter paper were filled with dense small regular script.

After reading the contents of the letter with a blank expression, she still had no expression of joy and anger, and even disagreed with what was written in the letter. Qingluan Guard is the ancestor who spys on collecting confidential information. As one of the three right governors of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, she naturally has other channels to prove whether Gu Fengxian's words are true or false.

Lu Yanbing put the letter paper in his hand on the kang table and slowly spoke, "Go and invite the governor Zhao Wuqi and Lord Zhao to come."

The kneeling Qingluanwei immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, a tall man came to the confidential room. He was also wearing a second-rank military officer's robe, with a leopard head and a ringed eye, and a beard that looked like a military general on the battlefield. However, this appearance was not only not a single point. The rough feeling made him feel a little more majestic, and his face was even more calm and cold, without any violence. After all, if you can climb to the position of the second-rank governor Tongzhi in the Qingluan Guard's Mansion, you will never be a man full of killing.

Lu Yanbing picked up the secret letter sent by Gu Fengxian: "The news from Jiangnan is about Zhou Tingchao's case, you can see it yourself." He said that.

Zhao Wuqi took the letter and immediately looked down.

Lu Yanbing said calmly: "Actually, it is also expected. Since Zhou Tingchao dares to write a letter, the person behind him must have made complete preparations. If it weren't for Qian Xing's decisiveness, the one who escaped at this time would not be a little girl. But Zhou Tingchao's Qin case is going to be committed."

After reading the secret letter, Zhao Wuqi raised his head and asked, "By the time, this letter should have arrived long ago. Why has Gu Fengxian only been sent to him now?"

"No wonder." Lu Yanbing's tone was still plain: "He has done a mess of his job. Before he takes the initiative to apologize, he always has to arrange some remedies, otherwise how many heads he has enough to cut off?"

Zhao Wuqi put the letter back on the kang table in front of Lu Yanbing, and was silent for a moment before asking, "What does the Governor mean to ask Bei Zhi to come?"

Lu Yanbing stared at him with his eyes: "Zhou Tingchao is dead, his case is over. It is not a big deal to escape a irrelevant little girl. The key is to kill Bai Chouqiu and Qian. Who is the one who is here? In addition, there has been some movement at the Liushumen recently. It is said that many people have been sent to Jiangnan. There is a wallet of the Silijian. Yesterday, the chief Bingbi had already come over to say hello, so let's see Tighten, don't make any mistakes."

Zhao Wuqi was silent again, and after a long time, he said, "Then I will go to Jiangnan in person to handle these two things properly."

Lu Yanbing picked up two thin pages of paper and reached in front of the oil lamp to light it. The fire that was about to burn to his fingers before throwing the book that had already turned into ashes on the brick floor.

Lu Yanbing looked at Zhao Wuqi and said slowly, "In a few days, I will also go to Zixian Mountain in Zhongzhou. Just think it's a front station for me. You are from the world, so you should know how much water there is in the world. Deep, don't be careless."

Zhao Wuqi clasped his fists and said, "I understand the humble position, please rest assured, Governor."

After Zhao Wuqi left the confidential room, Lu Yanbing got up from the kang and stomped off the remaining ashes on the ground.
