One Step to The End: 1277 Assassination

"I have been in Tang Dynasty for more than 600 years, and I have never seen any kind of storm. A small Tubo can make so many waves. It's just a small thief meeting a rice bucket..."

The old emperor sat calmly in the political hall. The bad news did not make any waves on his face, but dozens of senior officials did not dare to lift their heads and stood in several rows in front of him, and Zhao Guanren naturally Among them, he was studying the patterns on the purple official robes.

"Li Zhiping! You come forward..."

The old emperor took a sip of the hot tea and asked tepidly: "How did you know that the Tibetans were linked with the monsters, and they insisted that they would go south. It was you who said that Nanzhao linked the Tibetans to you!" /

"Return to the emperor! It's not going south, but going south and east..."

Zhao Guanren came out and said: "I caught a Huang Daxian in Chaoyang Village. It said that the demon king of the black sun called Lin Yao to go to Tibet. I thought this was wrong. Lin Yao is only good at mountain warfare. It’s abolished, they are definitely going to attack Jiannan Road, how do they know that they are actually attacking Nanzhao!”

The old emperor frowned and said, "Do you know how many monsters there are?"

"I don't know! But Lin Yao is mostly a little monster, good at night attack and assassination, and definitely not the main force..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "This minister makes a bold guess based on experience. There are only ten thousand soldiers, but when you enter the mountains and forests, your strength will double. You must let the officers and soldiers of Jiannan Road take strict precautions, especially beware of night attacks. , it is a pity that it is beyond the reach of the whip!"

“Humph~”

The old emperor snorted coldly and scolded: "You still have the face to mention the Demon Suppression Division, you are running for seven or eight days, everyone thinks that you have gone to hide your debts, and the Demon Suppressing Division has turned into a pot of porridge. I trust you, is that how you repay me?"

"Your Majesty! What do you want me to do so that you can be satisfied..."

Zhao Guanren pointed to Master Kang not far away, and said, "This is the Shangguan you sent. I didn't say a word of nonsense except to support him. I went to work according to his assignment that day, and I stayed for more. How could I be wrong for him to sort out the context in a few days?"

"Hmph~ It's a tongue-in-cheek..."

Master Kang stepped forward and said bitterly, "Are you asking me to sort out the context? It's clearly intentional to embarrass this official. The secret recipe is all in your head. You pat your **** and run away. How can I start work?"

"Lord Kang! The emperor has heard clearly now, you can't deny it any more..."

Zhao Guanren said with a sneer: "The day before I left the city, the five groups of secrets were handed over to the Ministry of Works, and the Minister of the Ministry of Works hand-painted the seals, just waiting for the money to arrive before choosing an auspicious day to start work, you actually said that I wouldn't give you the secret recipe. , no wonder you call yourself Thirteen Taibao, you can really make it up!"

"Damn! What's going on..."

The old emperor slammed the coffee table and finally couldn't help but get angry. It seems that his composure in major matters is "extracted" from small matters, and the depth of the city is also admirable.

"Report to the Emperor! This is indeed the case..."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly said: "Not only did this minister hand over the official document to the Demon Suppression Division, asking him to quickly give money to start the work, but the old minister also told Mr. Kang a few days ago that if the money is not enough, we will open two workshops first, and we can't sit back and relax. Ah!"

"Wait!"

Master Kang exclaimed, "Master Shang Shu! You did say this, but you didn't say there was a secret recipe, you just urged me to give the money quickly!"

"Ridiculous! I don't blame you for having to put your affairs on the record. How dare you not admit it..."

The old Shangshu said angrily: "It is clearly stated in the official document, the craftsmanship is complete, and the work can be started only after the money. Your town magic company also gave a reply, saying that there is a shortage of money, and the start of the work will be postponed. You have only opened two workshops, but you don't have a secret recipe, how do you do it?"

"I..."

Master Kang's face turned pale.

"You adults have seen it. He dares to deny what he said in public. He has no shame at all, but he is definitely a good hand to take power..."

Zhao Guanren sneered: "Mr. Kang has already settled down the cronies, and there are three full

Twelve people, all received first-class fat men. Fortunately, I had expected him to have ulterior motives. He went to the countryside to attract investment and pulled more than one million taels of investment, otherwise the town magic company would go bankrupt again. La! "

"Oh? So fast..."

The old emperor subconsciously sat up straight, Zhao Guanren straightened his waist and smiled and said: "Emperor! As long as it is what I promised, how could I ever break my promise, but I still want to ask Mr. Kang, you made a prank to sit in the hall. , Baili Hongle's mother won't be your concubine, right?"

"You fart! Baili Hongle is, yes..."

Master Kang pointed at him with split eyes, and Zhao Guanren sneered: "General Baili's concubine, but if his mother is not your concubine, why let him sit in the hall with a sloppy skin? Could it be that you are too? Unable to hold back, you want to collude with the generals to plot big things?"

"Dog thief! I killed you..."

Master Kang raised his fist in anger. As a result, Zhao Guanren just wanted to have an excuse, but he suddenly turned and knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty! Holy grace, sin deserves ten thousand death, please grant the emperor the death penalty!"

"I will satisfy you today, come! Drag it out and behead it to the public..."

The old emperor slammed into the table and threw a whole belly of evil fire on his head, but according to the usual script, someone would definitely come out to persuade him, begging for mercy, and Master Kang crying again , even if you receive a punishment.

"Here!"

The four internal guards suddenly jumped in. The old emperor was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Director An, who knew the king's heart well, was dead. At this moment, the gatekeeper happened to be "Grand Duke Wei", and the other officials did not want to mess with them. All dressed up, all hung their heads and pretended to be deaf.

"Your Majesty! Give Wei Chen another chance, Wei Chen knows he is wrong..."

Master Kang panicked when he saw the plot was wrong. When the guards held him down, he subconsciously shook the four of them away, but the shock was incredible. Zhao Guanren took the opportunity to stretch his foot and stumble. The famous guard fell beside the old emperor.

"Assassination! Come on, protect the emperor..."

Chen Guangda seized the opportunity and screamed loudly, and the crowd jumped so loudly that even the old emperor instinctively jumped back, and the political affairs hall was fried in one fell swoop.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Guanren jumped at Master Kang. When Master Kang saw that he was jumping, the electric light flashed in his hand, and the master's fighting instinct broke out in an instant. , let out a shrill scream.

"Ah!!!"

Zhao Guanren fell to the ground at once, and his exaggerated screams startled the audience again. How could he know that the old emperor did not retreat but advanced, jumped over him suddenly, and shot a shot with his extremely fast skills. The palm of the hand was actually in the middle of Master Kang's Tianling Gai.

“Boom~”

Master Kang suddenly knelt on the ground, his knees abruptly cracked two floor tiles, half of his head was cracked, and the cracked brain splashed the old emperor's face, but he shouted angrily: You dare to rebel, do you really think you are the Thirteen Taibao?"

“Poof~”

The old emperor slapped his palm on his neck, and half of the head flew out. The blood spurted out of his neck for more than half a meter, spraying the old emperor all over his head. Wen Wu was dumbfounded, and even the guards who had just rushed in were stunned.

'I'm going! This is a master...'

Zhao Guanren, who was lying on the ground, was secretly shocked. Although Master Kang was at the bottom of the Thirteen Taibao, he was also a quasi-grandmaster. As soon as the old emperor made a move, he killed him in seconds. At least it was a means above the master. It was even stronger than what he predicted last time.

"My emperor is mighty! My emperor's longevity is boundless..."

Chen Guangda took the lead in "kneeling" and bowed down. Only then did all the civil and military people react, and they hurriedly shouted long live with the guards, while Zhao Guanren simply touched the blood on the ground, wiped it on the corner of his mouth and shouted in pain: "I Huang Wan, long live, cough cough..."

"Hum~ drag it out to feed the dog, and copy it all over the place

Cut..."

The old emperor violently kicked over the headless corpse, and turned his head sharply and said sharply: "Li Zhiping! I will give you half a year to raise military salaries, five million taels must not be less than one penny, is there any problem?"

"No, no problem, five months is enough..."

Zhao Guanren pretended to be timid and stretched out a hand, and the grim-faced old emperor snorted coldly, and then he threw his hand away murderously, leaving a room of civil and military people looking at each other.

"Why are you standing still, drag it out to feed the dog..."

Chen Guangda got up and patted his robes. The guards hurriedly carried the corpse and head out. The other officials tidied up their clothes and stood up, but Chen Guangda laughed again: "Concubine! I will trouble you about the house raid. , this rebel must have a comrade!"

"I just felt that he was wrong. He deliberately abused my town magician, obviously obstructing the raising of military salaries..."

Zhao Guanren supported the pillar and stood up, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry also said: "Who doesn't say it, this official also thinks that something is wrong, fortunately, he kept his mind early, and the official letters are kept, otherwise he will be beaten down. Oh, this thief is so cunning!"

"My lords! Let's talk somewhere else, someone! Hot tea and sweat towels ready..."

Chen Guangda led everyone to a different room. Many people had blood on their bodies. When the hot water came, they queued up for cleaning. Chen Guangda took off his waist badge and had it cleaned. He followed Zhao Guanren and walked out. Go to a small empty house beside the thatched hut.

Chen Guangda closed the door and asked, "Have you seen the hanging force, how is Mingquan County?"

"The surrounding area of ​​the county is fine, but Mingquan County is very wide, with more than 300 villages..."

Zhao Guanren whispered: "There is a cult that has brainwashed many villagers. Most of these villages are closed and xenophobic, and they don't aim to cheat money, and they keep instilling their souls to go to the Heavenly Palace. This is very scary. And they're called... the Cult of the Sun!"

Chen Guang was surprised and said: "It's all shot down today, isn't that... the Demon King of the Black Sun?"

"That's right! The main **** they worshiped turned out to be Hou Yi, who shaped him into a hero who resisted heaven and was not afraid of power. Even his wife was kidnapped by the Jade Emperor..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, it is instilling the idea of ​​rebellion. Hou Yi has become the **** of rebellion, and this shooting sun religion is spreading everywhere, just because it is taking the rural route and has not attracted the attention of the imperial court. Zhao is tracking down where their main altar is!"

Chen Guang nodded and said, "Sure enough, I guessed right, silver can't solve the problem!"

"I'm not afraid of them being poor, I'm just afraid that they are poor, stupid and feudal, which is very difficult..."

Zhao Guanren said depressedly: "There are many experts in the Sheri Sect, and they can't do it without trying hard. I will ask Liangzi to go back to help him in a few days and create a 'money sect' to deal with them. If Mingquan County does not If you do it well, there will definitely be a big mess!"

"It's right to let Ryoko go back, in fact, the task has already been pointed out..."

Chen Guangda lowered his voice and said: "If the Black Sun Demon King is not in Mingquan County, it is likely from Mingquan County, and Mingquan must have clues about it, by the way! How did you know that Tubo was going south? Did you really catch a Wong Tai Sin?"

"Fuck! I ran into a postman who was changing shifts on the way, and only when I asked did I know that Tubo had gone south..."

Zhao Guanren said strangely: "But the Tubo's response is too fast, and the flying pigeons are not so fast. I suspect that they have set up a military intelligence station, such as monitoring our waist cards, and setting up a point at regular intervals. , you will be able to spread the word on the same day!"

"Hum~ If this is the case, your father-in-law and father-in-law will definitely have a share..."

Chen Guangda sneered: "If the Zhao family didn't send a letter to Tubo, how could Tubo dare to gamble, but you should hurry up and catch Baili Hongle, he or the person behind him is definitely a core soul killer, bring more Let's go, this time the Thirteen Taibao also hates you!"

"Be careful yourself, I'll go to Ryoko right away and bring them to a pot..."
