After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

Zhou Xun looked at him through the rice paper.Outside the rice paper, the emperor's expression was filled with embarrassment, horror and shame...

Zhou Xun: ...

"I was wrong." The emperor quickly admitted his mistake, his expression was very honest and heartbroken, "How could I be so depraved! I forgot all the study plans I made before..."

Zhou Xun: ...

The emperor: "Lu Xun said, I examine myself three times a day..."

Zhou Xun: "... That's what Zeng Zi said."

But this Lu Xun...he once again wrote down this name in the little notebook in his heart.

"Oh, Master Zeng," the emperor scratched his head, "I can't go on like this, I will definitely..."

"Cuckoo, cluck."

A carrier pigeon landed on the balcony of the imperial study, and the emperor's expression suddenly became "...".

The emperor: "I..."

Zhou Xun had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, let's go and see."

The emperor went to catch pigeons, Zhou Xun took off the rice paper covering his face.Looking at the figure of the emperor jumping up and down but unable to catch the pigeon, he felt very peaceful.

That's it.

If the emperor is not good at it, then he is not good at it.Anyway... he's here.

As long as the emperor still needs him, he will be in the palace.Unless one day, the emperor no longer needs him.

But at that time, presumably the emperor will not encounter spelling problems again, or, there will be other people to help him deal with this problem.

The emperor finally caught the unlucky pigeon. Although it was born from the same root, there was no need to worry about it too quickly, but the emperor still showed a happy expression when he turned the pigeon into a thing in his palm.

The bamboo tube tied around the pigeon's ankle was very unusual, it was actually pure black.The black is deep, revealing an ominous atmosphere.

The emperor didn't carry Zhou Xun behind his back, but just unfolded the rolled paper with information hidden inside.The paper is smooth and clean.

Seeing Zhou Xun's eyes, the emperor proudly said to him, "Brother Xun, come here!"

As he spoke, he unfolded the blank piece of paper: "Guess what is written on it?"

……

"This is an encryption method I came up with recently, and I named it 'Emperor's New Clothes'." The emperor said, taking out a lit candle in the room where everyone was screened out except Zhou Xun.

He grabbed the piece of paper and stared at the flickering candle with deep eyes and a low voice: "Just put this piece of paper on the fire and lightly roast it..."

"Damn, what the hell?! Why did it burn?! Didn't the novel say that this paper would burn?!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Fortunately, Zhou Xun was quick and put out the fire on the rice paper in time.Then, looking at the emperor who was still in shock, he sighed helplessly: "I'll do it."

The emperor, who had Long Aotian's ideas but no Long Aotian's tricks, touched his hot nose, and squatted obediently and obediently beside Zhou Xun.

Holding the piece of paper, Zhou Xun carefully roasted it on the fire. After a while, a few lines of words appeared on the paper.

"Tianluo... the Black Clothes Envoy?"

"Successfully infiltrated...laying hidden stakes..."

This is an institution that Zhou Xun has never heard of.

Intuition told him that he was hearing a...

Faintly, there was cold sweat seeping from his back.

According to rumors, every emperor in Dajing has such an unknown secret guard organization in his hands.Different from those who act on the surface, Jiangwei, the court eagle and dog who pickets the officials, and the Mirror Division, which controls the supervision and judicial power, this unknown secret guard organization hides deep under the water, doing the bloodiest, dirtiest, And the least known thing.

No one but the emperor could capture the tentacles of this deep underwater behemoth, no one could trace the outline of the organization.They only contact the emperor, and only the emperor can control them.

But now in his hands...

It is the secret letter of this organization.

'No one can escape unscathed after learning the secrets at the bottom of the scene. You have to know that a companion is like a tiger. '

In Zhou Xun's mind, the voice of the degraded Beijing official he had studied under when he was young suddenly sounded.

"Did you see it?" The emperor's cool voice sounded in his ears, his dark pupils reflected the candlelight, and the candlelight cast a shadow on his deep face, making him look very different from usual.

Holding the rice paper, Zhou Xun nodded.

The emperor whispered, the look on his face was dark and unclear: "This is the legendary..."

Zhou Xun followed his gaze closely.

Emperor: "The dark side of the empire."

Zhou Xun: ...

...For some reason, these are obviously very domineering five words.However, the moment the emperor uttered these five words, Zhou Xun seemed to feel a breath like "Dark Flame Envoy" and "Black Flame の Demon Dragon" spreading.

...At least he couldn't find that kind of awe at all.

"The Black Clothes Envoy is an organization hidden in the dark. It is also the intelligence agency responsible for assassination and spying directly under me. They lurk in every corner of the Dajing and Northern Wei countries, collect intelligence for the central government, and only wake up when needed. Then perform tasks such as assassination." The emperor explained.

"Have they been in Dajing since the founding of the dynasty?"

"Of course not. They were formed after I came here. Before that, they were all in a paralyzed state. As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Years of peace have made Dajing too lazy to even place such a useful spy. institutions." The emperor said proudly, "After I took over them, I divided them into three parts."

Zhou Xun looked at the emperor who was asking and answering himself: ...

"The first part is Tianluo. The Tianluo organization mainly targets foreign forces, lurking in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Great Liang and other countries, and regularly transmits local intelligence to Dajing. For the senior spies among them, I adopted One-way communication mode - unless the most urgent situation occurs, the upline will not actively wake them up, they can freely choose whether to send information or fall into a state of silence according to their own situation." The emperor said, "There are many hidden stakes that have not been seen for a long time. After being awakened, their status and loyalty need to be further screened. This "Tian Luo" is still being weaved, and when the "Tian Luo" is completed, the military equipment, city defenses, granaries, etc. of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Great Liang... ...all under our control!"

——Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.As long as they knew this information, it would be relatively easy to take down the Northern Wei Dynasty or Great Liang by assassinating local generals or destroying food and grass before the war started.

Zhou Xun thought.

Or, let the tentacles of "Tianluo" go deeper and penetrate into the royal family battles in the Northern Wei Dynasty.The first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city... Maybe it doesn't take a single soldier to contain the Northern Wei royal family, and solve the problem that has been pressing on Dajing and staring at Dajing for a long time. Heartache.

"And the second part is 'Skynet'—in fact, it was originally called the Earth's Net. Under the net of heaven and earth, even gods can't escape. But considering a certain criminal investigation program called 'Skynet'...hehe, let's call it Skynet is ready." The emperor said, "The Skynet system is located in Dajing. In addition to monitoring local officials for rebellion and conducting moral observations on them, they also feed back to me the voices of the people. They are the 'emperor's third eye. '. In addition, they have another task, which is to find the spies sent by the enemy country to the country, and quietly eliminate them before they pass the news on."

"The third part is different from the first two. The goal of the first two tasks is to perform tasks silently and quickly. They are usually integrated into the public, no different from ordinary people, and are only awakened when needed." The emperor said. , "However, the third part of the Black Clothes Envoy exists for the purpose of deterrence."

"All officials who secretly plot rebellion and want to defect to the enemy's country are dealt with by the third part of the Black Clothes Envoy. The purpose of their existence is to clearly show the world that no matter who you are, no matter what your identity is—" The emperor's voice became cold and gloomy, "Death to the traitor!"

A gust of cold air spread in the room following the sonorous and powerful words of the emperor.

"The third part of the Black Clothes Envoy is to announce this to the world, and to show righteousness to the people of the world, so..." the emperor said slowly, "I named this part——"

"Xiao Organization!"

After saying this, he suddenly showed a cold and subtle smile.

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "I also made them standard battle robes, cough, cough, let's not talk about it for now..."

"Black clothes are black clothes. These brave men in the dark are shadows, and they are also the cornerstone of the country's development. Where there is light, there will be shadows." The emperor tapped his finger on the table. There is a lot of waste to be done, but now it can be regarded as the initial good results, so the matter is big, I don't want to pretend to be someone else, I need to find a trustworthy person, so..."

He glanced at Zhou Xun, hesitant to speak: "So..."

Zhou Xun was startled: "This..."

Emperor: "So... that's all."

The emperor originally wanted to speak, but he seemed to have thought of something, and swallowed that sentence into his mouth.

Zhou Xun asked him, "Why?"

"Nothing." The emperor changed the subject.As if he remembered something, he first lowered his head, then raised his head and smiled brightly: "Don't worry!"

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "I will definitely learn ancient Chinese this time!"

As the saying goes, the emperor's mouth is a deceitful ghost.However, Zhou Xun returned to the side hall to rest, and the next day, when he went to the imperial study, the emperor was actually reading the blue booklet.

The same is true on the third day.

The same is true on the fourth day.

He seemed to have changed his mind suddenly, and started to study that book seriously, and really planned to understand those obscure and difficult excerpts without Zhou Xun's help, or the simpler...more difficult ones intelligence.

On this day, it finally rained in the capital, and the water that had accumulated in the hot and humid air for several days suddenly poured down.Zhou Xun was reading a book in the hall, but the sound of the rain hitting the rice outside the window was too loud.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and several young maids complained under the eaves, and their voices came into the house.

"It's raining, when will the sun come out?" one of the little maids said, "My bones are wet from the rain."

"It's as if you really want the sun to rise in the sky." The little maid sitting next to her teased, "Every time the sun rises, you hide in the shadow under the eaves, or who is the one holding an umbrella? "

"Isn't this afraid of getting sunburned?" Several little sisters laughed together.The little maid who was teased was a little annoyed.She sighed: "I'm really envious of those maids who are on night shift. After all, they only work at night, they can't see the sun, and they are not afraid of getting sunburned... Tell me, those hidden guards are tightly covered, right? The skin is particularly white?"

Zhou Xun closed the book.

There was a sound of opening the door from the side hall, and several court ladies turned around: "Young Master Zhou? You are..."

"I'm going to the imperial study." The handsome young man with cold brows said in a gentle voice, "Please trouble me to find an umbrella for me."
