Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

Wei Hao sized up Su Lie, then showed a smile, cupped his hands and said:
"Wei Hao, the general of the left guard, has met General Su!"

"Su Lie, General of the Left Guard, has met General Wei!"

Su Lie also showed a smile, and cupped his hands.

Both have pretty much the same record.

Although it was the first time they met, and the age difference was more than ten years old, they had been friends with each other for a long time, and it can be said that they cherish each other!
Hearing that Su Lie was still the general of the left guard, Wei Hao was puzzled.

Why hasn't Su Lie been promoted after so many years?

"Wei Hao!"

Wei Hao was thinking about it when Li Er suddenly made a sound.

"Chen is here!"

Wei Hao turned around abruptly, and bowed to Li Er.

"In this incident, you risked yourself for me, proving that you are absolutely loyal to me!"

Li Er's tone was unusually serious.

"What I want to say next is a court secret and must be kept secret!!"

"promise!"

Wei Hao agreed.

"General Su Lie's superficial position is Zuowei Zhonglang, and his other identity is Tiance Shadowguard Zuo Commander!"

Tiance shadow guard?

Tiance Shadow Guard Zuo Commander?
Wei Hao's expression and eyes were full of doubts.

"Leader Zuo of Tiance Shadow Guard directly takes orders from me! Regarding Tiance Shadow Guard, I will let Su Lie tell you later!"

Seeing that Wei Hao had doubts, Li Er added.

"promise!"

Wei Hao nodded without thinking.

I still feel both surprise and doubt in my heart.

When Wei Hao chatted with Cheng Tieniu before, he heard Cheng Tieniu talk about it.

When I was a child, I accidentally overheard my parents mentioning that the imperial court has a special institution related to Tiance Mansion.

But hearing what he mentioned was "handed down", Wei Hao didn't pay much attention.

Cheng Tieniu usually likes to boast and joke, and sometimes he doesn't know whether what he said is true or false.

Since it is "handed down", it is not necessarily true.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court really had such a special institution.

Although Wei Hao didn't know what the Tiance Shadow Guard did, but when Li Er said it was a secret and that he was directly under his command, he guessed that this organization was different from all other organizations in the Tang Dynasty.

It is also more or less easy to guess that Tiance Shadow Guard is not easy, and it is very likely that it is the spy agency that later generations call.

"Su Lie, Wei Hao obey orders!"

Li Er's tone became dignified.

"Chen is here!"

Su Lie and Wei Hao bowed at the same time.

"From today onwards, the two of you will work together to uncover and eradicate the enemies lurking in Chang'an City!"

"promise!"

"Su Lie obeys orders. If necessary, he can directly mobilize the guards and prefectures of Chang'an City!" Li Er reminded.

"promise!"

……

Night, already dark.

The big lanterns hung high in the imperial city, as if it were daytime.

Leaving Ganlu Hall, Wei Hao's stomach gurgled a few times.

"General Wei hungry?"

Su Lie smiled slightly.

"I haven't eaten food almost all day."

Wei Hao laughed.

"I'll take you to dinner first."

Su Lie followed up.

"General Lausu!"

Wei Hao said politely.

"Come with me!"

As Su Lie said, he strode forward.

So, Wei Hao followed Su Lie to find something to eat.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

No matter how important things are, you have to eat enough before you can work hard.

What's more, all the gates of Chang'an City are now closed, and there are soldiers, policemen, and bad people patrolling everywhere. No one can leave Chang'an in a short time.

Unless that person has left before the gates are closed.

If that person had already left Chang'an, even if he went to look for it immediately without eating, it might be difficult to find him.

Since Su Lie took the initiative to take him to dinner, it means that his people are already on the move.

Otherwise, he couldn't be so calm.

You still have to fill your stomach before doing anything!

next moment.

Su Lie brought Wei Hao to Shangshi Bureau.

Along the way, unimpeded.

Before entering, there were guards interrogating him, and Su Lie casually took out a golden "fish talisman" belt badge.

When the guards saw the badge in Su Lie's hand, they quickly let him go.

Wei Hao was quite surprised that he also had the opportunity to enter Shangshi Bureau to eat.

The Shang Food Bureau is an organization responsible for providing meals to the royal family.

Not to mention ordinary ministers, even some important ministers rarely have the opportunity to eat in Shangshi Bureau.

The people in Shangshi Bureau saw Su Lie coming in and took the initiative to say hello to him.

Seeing this, Wei Hao naturally guessed that Su Lie had entered the food bureau more than once.

In this way, he may be an "old customer".

At the same time, it shows that his status is much more noble than his superficial position.

"General Su, can you tell me what kind of organization Tiance Shadow Guard is?"

Wei Hao asked curiously while eating Hu noodles.

Su Lie glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he said in a low voice:
"The Tiance Shadow Guard originated from the Tiance Mansion, was established by His Majesty, and is directly under His Majesty's orders, which is different from special military institutions other than the Sixteen Guards.

Mainly in charge of guarding the holy car, spying, arresting, prison and other matters.

The prison set up by Tiance Shadow Guard is called imperial prison, and it mainly judges criminals specially approved by His Majesty.

Most of the things that Tiance Shadow Guards have done are confidential and rarely announced to the public.

Most of the Tiance shadow guards have superficial positions, just like me.

Therefore, most people don't know about Tiance Shadow Guard. "

Since His Majesty ordered him to tell Wei Hao about the Tiance Shadow Guard, then he has nothing to hide.

After hearing this, Wei Hao nodded in understanding.

Isn't this what later generations call a spy agency? !

Wei Hao suddenly understood a lingering question——

Why after so many years, Su Lie's position is still the left guard and Zhong Lang?

It turned out that Su Lie had been secretly transferred by Li Er to Tiance Shadow Guard.

The real power that Su Lie holds now is much stronger than the superficial Zuowei Zhonglang!
After Wei Hao asked about Tiance Shadow Guard, Su Lie asked Wei Hao how much he knew about Ye Biyang.

Wei Hao confessed everything he knew.

When Su Lie heard that Wei Hao was able to use his means to pry open the mouth of the little leader of the Jieren killer, Su Lie couldn't help admiring him secretly.

No wonder His Majesty asked him to help him, it seems that he has some means that he doesn't have.

After dinner.

Wei Hao and Su Lie got on their own horses from the imperial stables and came to the gate of Suzaku.

At this time, Chang'an City has already curfew.

No one was walking on Suzaku Street.

After checking the identities of Wei Hao and Su Lie, the general guarding the Suzaku Gate allowed them to move freely in Chang'an City.

"General Su, do you want to go directly to West Market to look for Ye Biyang next?"

Wei Hao glanced in the direction of West Market, then looked at Su Lie and said.

"Correct!"

Su Lie pondered for a while, and said slowly.

"However, before going to the West Market, you have to take off your armor and change into casual clothes."

"it is good!"

Wei Hao was puzzled, but he did it anyway.

"General Su, please wait a moment!"

He took out a set of casual clothes from the horse bag hanging on the back of Wanli Yanyun.

Then he walked aside, took off his armor, and changed into the general's casual clothes.
