one step closer to the end

Chen Guangda nodded and said: "Their leader is called the Great Taibao. It is said that there are four great masters to help out. I still can't find out who these five people are, but the Luo Zhimen is too big. The old emperor is afraid of them. The general safety Commander Chen is in charge of everything!"

After Chen Guangda finished speaking, he gave them a list, including the specific address and spouse, and the eight known CPPs were all included.

"Master! It seems that this soul-killing eunuch doesn't know you, otherwise you would have revealed your secrets..."

Xia Buer looked at the list and was confused again: "But I really don't understand what kind of trick the old emperor is playing, why did he marry Princess Wan'an to Brother Ren? Will it make Longyou more important?"

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "Impossible! But I didn't even think about it. Isn't this superfluous?"

"I'm afraid you don't know who Princess Wan'an's grandfather is, the Jiedushi of Beiting..."

Chen Guangda said: "Bei Ting are all elite cavalry from the Western Regions, and they have always coerced each other with the Longyou Army, and the old emperor asked girls from both families to marry you. On the surface, he made all three families into relatives, so that Zhao Qingtian could fight with peace of mind. Tubo, but the princess's natal family doesn't think so!"

"Damn! This old bastard is enough to hurt..."

Xia Buer frowned and said: "It is believed that the princess concubine raped Ren Ge and Princess Wan'an together, and Princess Wan'an said she was divorced, but in fact she was divorced. Her old mother must not be able to swallow this breath. I have to settle accounts with the Zhao family!"

"That's right! As long as Zhao Qingtian goes to fight Tubo, the princess's family will definitely not let him go..."

Chen Guangda nodded and said: "You two brothers-in-law are already very prosperous. Most people can't see through this situation at all. No one would think that the emperor wants to mess with Zhao Qingtian. This is the calm before the big move. It's a test of your ability. The time has come!"

"You don't have to worry about me, I just went to see the Xiliang iron cavalry..."

Xia Buer waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Ren and I already have a countermeasure. Liangzi also entered the city last night. If he cooperates with Brother Ren, I won't need me, but you really have to be careful, you have already mixed with the old emperor." , that old ghost is not a vegetarian!"

"I'm not a real eunuch. If I have nothing to do, I will be a slave to others. I'm a bitch..."

Chen Guangda smiled proudly: "I am very happy in the harem. A group of empresses are waiting for me to turn over my cards. I am going to recommend the apprentice of Director An to replace him. He has already recognized me as a godfather, right! Da Linzi and Where did Hang Biqiang go?"

"Da Linzi went missing again, and old Zhao is a bandit. Find out the truth in Mingquan County..."

Zhao Guanren handed him a few packs of cigarettes with a wry smile, and the three chatted for a while before getting ready to go out, but Xia Buer said in a low voice: "Brother Ren! The old emperor will definitely not have a conscience to find out that he didn't trip you up in public today." My son, I will definitely tamper with Zhenmensi!"

"It's for sure! King Yujiang has already been arranged, and the business rights will be handed over to him..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "The main officials of the Zhenma Division will all become the emperor's cronies. Not only will I not get the personnel power, but I will not be given the military power of the Demon Fushi, and there will also be an iron-handed boss. Once the magician is fully functioning, I will be shattered and killed!"

"I guess your boss will be your old friend, Tianyangzi! His master came to find the emperor himself..."

Chen Guangda patted him on the shoulder, and Zhao Guanren was dumbfounded immediately, and walked out cursing. Unfortunately, just as Chen Guangda guessed, when he and Xia Buer came to the Royal Brothel, Tian Yangzi took the initiative to bring people to greet him. up.

"Consort Li!"

Tian Yangzi saluted with a smile on his face and said: "I have offended you so much in the past, I am here to accompany you, I hope the son-in-law will take care of you, and I will do my best when I work under your command in the future. If there are any deficiencies , please feel free to criticize and testify!"

Zhao Guanren was surprised and said: "You work under me, what position does the emperor arrange for you?"

"I'm a low-level official! I'm the deputy envoy of your town magician..."

Tian Yangzi smiled and said: "You should also know that there is another deputy envoy, that is Lu Poyan of Taiyi Dao, who is a leader of the younger generation, and his master is Xuan Yi who made you cut in half, what does the emperor mean?" Yes, it's better to resolve enemies than to end them!"

"Ha~ It's really a dung beetle sleeping on a big maggot - the smell is similar..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the Yichun courtyard with a sneer. The old emperor really did not change his mind. No matter how disgusting he was, he tried to put his enemies in Zhenmagus, so he didn't want him to have a good life, but he was still curious. Who will be the immediate boss?

"Zhiping! Let me introduce you, Mr. Kang will be your Shangguan in the future, and you only need to be responsible to him from now on..."

King Yujiang came over with a strange man, a white-faced scholar in his thirties, but Zhao Guanren knew it as soon as he opened his mouth. This guy was the soul killer of the Thirteen Taibao. It was this man who spoke to him outside the carriage.

"Master Yin! Let's meet again..."

The other party cupped his hands with a half-smile, leaned to his side and whispered: "The grenade is well made, do you think no one will find out if you separate it and assemble it, but make more, otherwise it's just a little, it's not enough for you Rebel!"

"..."

Chapter 1273 Kang Shiyi

Yichunyuan is the royal brothel, even the maidservants who serve tea and water are beautiful, but these are all the emperor's women, they are called "inners" outside the palace, and civil and military officials can only appreciate art when they come here , absolutely dare not engage in art.

"Grenade? How do you know I have a grenade..."

Zhao Guanren raised his voice abruptly, and the officials around him naturally didn't respond, while the white-faced scholar Kang frowned, leaning against him and said: "If you want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself, I will take care of all the deeds you have done." It's very clear, Zhao Guanren!"

"Master Kang! Did we have some misunderstanding..."

Zhao Guanren took half a step back and stretched out his hand. Mr. Kang ignored his hand, opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "Then you might as well tell me, what misunderstanding did you and I have, I caught it with my own hands in the old palace last time." Did you forget about me so quickly?"

"First of all, my surname is Yin, and the emperor gave me the surname Li. What do you mean by calling me Officer Zhao..."

Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Secondly, if you say that I am making grenades, so what if I make sky mines. That's what I, the Zhenmagic Division, do. Do you dare to accuse me of rebellion? If you don't make it clear to me, I will definitely It's not over with you!"

"Rebellion? Master Kang, why did you say that..."

A group of officials were dumbfounded, and the noisy Yichun courtyard suddenly fell silent, even Chou Tianyangzi was confused.

"you……"

Mr. Kang's expression changed, but he immediately smiled and said, "Did the son-in-law hear it wrong? How dare I say that you are rebellious without evidence? I mean that you make a lot of things anyway, so it's better to make a few exquisite things. That iron cannon can easily hurt people!"

"What is an iron cannon..."

A group of officials are still puzzled. Datang cut down the "technical tree" long ago. The only thing is to prohibit the people from making fireworks privately to avoid causing fires.

"Ouch~ Mr. Kang is a woman disguised as a man. She opened her mouth so much that she doesn't recognize what she just said..."

Zhao Guanren took out a grenade from his bosom, and said mockingly: "This thing is a big firecracker, it can open mountains and break rocks, and of course it can also hurt people. Of course, it's someone who doesn't know kung fu, but Mr. Kang said just now, you made it Are there so many grenades for rebellion?"

"Consort Li!"

Mr. Kang's city is not shallow, he asked back: "The princess's guards were all injured by you, I tried to persuade you, why do you still bite back, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Facts speak louder than words. Since you said that the guards were injured by this thing, let's try it out. I will reward you a thousand taels for any strong general who is willing to come out and have a try!"

"My son-in-law! The humble job is voluntary to try, no reward..."

A military officer jumped out immediately, and Zhao Guanren pulled him up and left. Officials also surrounded them and came to the courtyard, only to see that the other party took a stride in the open space and mobilized all the skills in his body. A little scared.

"Everyone cover your ears, the sound is a bit loud..."

Zhao Guanren ignited a grenade, and casually threw it towards the military attache, about two meters away from him. The girls in the building ran out one after another, and covered their ears curiously with the officials. Everyone wondered how loud the firecrackers were. Know.

"Boom~"

The earth mine exploded on the grass, and the grass mud was blown up more than one meter high. The military officer in horse gait shook slightly, only a head of mud fell on his head, and he said in surprise: "No? Things can rebel, the cannons that open our graves are louder than this!"

"Pfft~ hehehe..."

Many people burst out laughing while covering their mouths. Master Kang with a gloomy face quickly stepped forward, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the other party. He turned around and said with a smile: "It's true that three people must have my teacher. The lower official has been taught." , I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future, and I hope my son-in-law will forgive me!"

"You are my superior, I should ask you for advice..."

Zhao Guanren walked over with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "The surname is Kang! The emperor asked you to urge me to earn money, not to frame me. Also, you are always in a bad mood." What do you mean by calling me Officer Zhao?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, you and Zhang Consort are both tower guards, trying to scare me! It's not that easy..."

Mr. Kang glared at him and was about to leave, but Zhao Guanren grabbed him again, picked up a stone and wrote two strings of English on the slate, stood up and said with a smile: "You are talking about this guy, you are ten Three Taibao, make people play around!"

"What a mess, you'd better be honest with me..."

Mr. Kang waved his hands away dismissively, Zhao Guanren wiped off the handwriting on the ground with his feet, made a look at Xia Buer who was not far away, and walked behind a rockery with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Ren!"

Xia Buer came over and said in a low voice: "That guy's name is Kang Dingbei. In the list provided by Brother Teddy, he ranks eleventh among the Thirteen Taibao, but he is not a soul killer, right?"

"Yes! I want to shake hands with him, but he doesn't understand the meaning, neither English nor Pinyin..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "Last time, I found it strange that the soul slayer didn't take the opportunity to kill me. It seems that this soul slayer is hiding behind the scenes, but Kang Dingbei doesn't trust him very much. These two times he was testing me. , so as to confirm whether the other party’s words are true!”

"Kang Dingbei may be a random person, otherwise he would not come to test it easily..."

Xia Buer frowned and said, "The soul killer behind him is an old bird, but he must not be an official, otherwise you will find Brother Teddy when you enter the palace, and the owner of the land who was caught by fishing should be a newcomer in the first two levels." , he doesn’t know Brother Teddy either!”

"Since the fish has surfaced, it's easy to catch. You can leave the city with peace of mind. Leave it to me..."

Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the rockery, and entered the Yichun courtyard with a smile on his face. It was not yet lunch time, but the oiran had already started to lead the performance. Kang Dingbei sat in the hall drinking tea calmly, Tianyangzi Waiting for people to surround him and flatter him.

"My lord! Where did this Kangdingbei come from? Why haven't I seen it before..."

As soon as Zhao Guanren went upstairs, he saw King Yujiang. King Yujiang led him into the small cubicle and asked someone to make a pot of tea before closing the door.

"You know the thirteenth Taibao, Kangdingbei ranks eleventh, known as Master Kang..."

King Yujiang pursed his lips and said: "Master Kang is the brains of the Thirteenth Taibao. The emperor sent him to supervise you, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhenmasi, but that guy always likes to play tricks. I guess he didn't expect you to be hard-pressed." He, he lost a big ugly today! Haha~"

"Alas~ dung beetles have entered the garden—it's not a bug here, they can't urinate together..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "However, the emperor gave me a lot of freedom this time. Master Kang only has the right to supervise and has no right to interfere with operations. But I want to know who is the leader of the mysterious Thirteenth Taibao, no Is it Commander Chen?"

"A layman! It's good that Commander Chen is the emperor's confidant, but his ability is not enough to enter Luo Zhimen..."

King Yujiang said in a low voice: "Luozhimen is the emperor's Anbu. They have many ears and eyes, and masters like a cloud. The leader of Luozhimen is the Great Taibao, but I don't know who it is, but I can tell you that the eldest princess is too. One of the Thirteen Taibao!"

"what?"

Zhao Guanren quickly lay down on the table and asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Princess Gaoyang? Since she is the Emperor's thirteenth Taibao, why did she secretly support King Ning to seize the throne?"

"Gao Yang is not a blood relative of our family. Just like you, he was given a surname and made a princess. His original surname is Yang..."

King Yujiang also came over and said: "But the title of Gaoyang is not auspicious. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, there was a Princess Gaoyang. She first committed adultery with Tang Xuanzang's disciple Futu. After Emperor Taizong found out, he chopped off the girl in a rage. , and put her..."

"What?"

Zhao Guanren was surprised and said: "Whose high-ranking disciple committed adultery with the princess, isn't the pagoda a pagoda?"

"Tang Xuanzang! Tang Sanzang! The one who went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, his disciple is called Futu Bianji..."

King Yujiang laughed lewdly and said: "Princess loves to find monks the most. One is convenience, and the other is to be inspired by Buddha. Alas~ You can really interrupt me. Where did I just say, oh! Princess Gaoyang was punished for treason with her consort, and The emperor gave this name to the eldest princess again, do you understand what that means?"

"Oh~"

Zhao Guanren nodded slightly and said: "The emperor is afraid that the eldest princess will rebel, so he deliberately gave her an unlucky title to remind her and the people around her, right?"

"That's almost what it means, so King Ning has nothing to do..."

King Yujiang jokingly said: "Let me tell you another secret. It is said that when the emperor was the prince, Gao Yang was always by his side. Gao Yang secretly gave birth to a son for him, but the fetus has disappeared. Some people suspect that King Ning is Gao Yang's son." Son, illegitimate child!"

"Ah? How did I hear that King Ning was messing with Gao Yang? Which one is true..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him in disbelief, King Yujiang sat back and rolled his eyes, and said: "Some people say you are the face of my seventh sister, and you have a nose and eyes, and you don't know whether you have done it or not, these are after dinner. Talk money!"

"Actually! Some things are not groundless..."

Zhao Guanren stood up slowly, and King Yujiang was stunned for a while before he realized it, and said in surprise: "Oh! This king knows, the day when you two are right, she is a beautiful woman Ye Pinxiao, you are right for Qiongjiang Tian Come on, you two are matching codes!"

"You don't stay here, your sister's song is worth a thousand dollars, and tap water is definitely her general distributor..."

Zhao Guanren couldn't help but walk out, King Yujiang hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Don't go! I still have a princess sister, no! You are already a son-in-law, how about the princess, brother-in-law will arrange it for you tonight, help me Get the glass bowl!"

"Do you want military power, the kind that can kill other brothers..."

Zhao Guanren said something abruptly, and King Yujiang covered his mouth, quickly opened the door and stretched his head to look, then closed the door and window and whispered: "You can't talk nonsense, the prince will also be beheaded. But... can you really get it?"

"I have to stand in line. I can beat monsters, but I can't beat the same kind of open and dark arrows..."

Zhao Guanren narrowed his eyes and said: "I am only close to you, the Seventh Prince, and your other brothers can't tolerate me, and I just want to ask you, are you ready for brotherhood, or even forcing the palace? If you don't have this plan at all, Let's go downstairs to listen to the music, pretending we haven't said anything!"

"You can't coax me..."

King Yujiang lowered his voice with a ferocious face, and said in a harsh voice: "There is no retreat in the battle to seize the throne. Either they die or we die. I will do anything to succeed, but money and a little military power are useless. It will only make this king Die faster!"

"The three armies of Beiting, Longyou, and Hexi, with more than 40 troops, are they enough..."

Zhao Guanren raised four fingers ferociously, but King Yujiang was surprised and said: "Beiting and Longyou are both far away from the emperor. If you fight for it, it is not impossible to surrender to the king, but... Hexi Jiedu is the emperor's confidant. Maybe betrayal!"

"Let me tell you a real secret, Nanzhao is a fraud, and Hexi wants to copy the back route of Longyou..."

Zhao Guanren muttered in his ear for a while, and the King of Yujiang covered his mouth in horror, but soon said with burning eyes: "If you can let the three armies obey the command of this king, I dare to surround Luoyang City and force the palace, you will Be the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the teacher of the great country!"

"I don't want to be a master of the great country. I just want to have sex and money, and kill monsters, Your Majesty! Just wait and see..."

"Aiqing! Don't let me down, I have bet all my wealth and life..."

"Your Majesty! I'm also risking my life with my head in my hands, but I never make fun of my own life. I will see when the time comes..."

Chapter 1274

Early in the morning, three major events happened in Luoyang City...

Xia Buer left Luoyang, took the emperor's salary and rewards and went to the Northwest. King Ning and King Yan went to the southwest to divide their troops to fight the rebellion in Tubo. legal sect.

"Master Li! I've finished reading the draft regulations, what do you think..."
