Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 521 No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us

Not far outside Bianjing Palace.

On the training ground in the house.

Tong Guan is stretching his muscles and bones, stretching his blood.

This eunuch is forty-six years old this year, and he is busy during the day. After the official in the palace rests, he still comes to practice martial arts. He is still full of energy and his eyes are piercing.

Not to mention comparing with other eunuchs, even normal people are not as fierce and majestic as this.

This has something to do with the fact that Tong Guan acquired a high level of martial arts under Li Xian's training since he was a child.

At this time, a long ebony stick weighing sixty catties was in his hand like a straw, dancing lightly and freely, his arms were extremely strong.

Such a majesty, naturally attracted a group of shrill cheers from the sidelines: "My lord's majesty! My lord's majesty!"

The howling wind overflowed the martial arts training ground. After using a set of stick techniques, Tong Guan's body stood still. There was no sweat stain on his forehead, but his chest still heaved violently a few times, and a haze flashed in his eyes.

His body is incomplete after all, even if he is extremely talented, he accumulates softness into strength, and regulates yin and yang, but once he passes the prime of life, he immediately feels that he is going downhill, and no matter how hard he trains, he can't stop it.

But the group of servants who were regarded as godsons obviously didn't know it, and surrounded them one after another, shouting flatteringly: "Your Excellency is so majestic, the generals of the Manchu Dynasty should be ashamed to see you!" "Zhao Nu said Ah, the Lord should lead the army, destroy the western bandits, and arrest Yanyun!"

"Haha! Well said!"

Tong Guan first laughed, and then heaved a long sigh: "It's just you little slaves who have a sweet mouth and know what I like to hear, but it's a pity that my ability has not been used for a long time!"

In view of the painful lessons of the former Tang eunuch's misfortune, the Song Dynasty lowered the rank of eunuchs. He is known by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, making him look like a famous prostitute in the Tang Dynasty, only from the fifth rank.

However, no matter how majestic the eunuch is in the palace, at most he will be honored as a "gentleman of the middle class", and Tong Guan is naturally not satisfied with this status.

His goal is his master, the Jiedushi of the Wutai Army, the first eunuch in the Song Dynasty to hold military power, Li Xian, who is honored as the Taiwei!

Back then, it was said that officials from the foreign dynasty, in order to curry favor with Li Xian, "the scholar-bureaucrats are slaves to him", some officials washed Li Xian's feet with their own hands, and even praised "how fragrant are the feet of the Taiwei", so Li Xian stepped on the ground. On the other side's head, he sneered and said, "Slave flattery is not too much!"

This incident was widely circulated in the palace, Tong Guan didn't know the truth, and even thought it was Li Xian's enemy's intentional propaganda, in order to arouse the resentment of the scholar-officials, but for the prestige of leading the army and destroying the army and destroying the thieves, It is sincere envy.

What is the origin, what is the ear of Gu!
Not a complete man...should have this pursuit too!
It's a pity that he has learned all kinds of observation, flattery, and insidious tricks in the palace, and he has learned a lot, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also like a fish in water, but it's a pity that his martial arts are useless.

Tong Guan subconsciously looked at the palace wall.

At his age, he couldn't wait too long. The eighteen-year-old new official, who had never paid attention to him before, might be his last chance.

Just as he was thinking about his path to heaven, two servants hurried to the sidelines.

No need to ask, just glanced at the expressions of these two confidants, and Tong Guan's face sank: "Failed again? Is Gongsun Zhao injured?"

The waiter replied: "Report to my lord, I don't know, but the Taoist escaped by stepping on the water."

Tong Guan didn't care about Dong Yunzi's life at all, he frowned and said, "This Gongsun Zhao is really difficult to deal with. The Heart-eating thorn is not called "seeing blood and devouring the soul", there are three in all, can't it hurt this person at all? How many people do you have?" recommend?"

The last sentence was said to the confidants present, but all the servants looked at each other and closed their mouths.

Tong Guan's displeased cold snort broke the silence: "You usually talk sweet words, but when it comes to the critical moment, you are all dumb? What a waste!"

Everyone shrank their heads and was scolded, and one of the most favored confidantes whispered: "My lord, that stupid Taoist is practicing outside the world, and he is a man of spells. He can't do anything to Gongsun Zhao, a hero who likes to stab spears and stick sticks. Not to mention Gongsun Zhao's opponent, we really don't have anyone to recommend, we still need your lord to make up his mind..."

Tong Guan actually knew that they didn't, but this kind of suppression is necessary. He must make his subordinates feel useless all the time, so that they can respect him more, and proudly said: "Forget it, Gongsun Zhao has been staring at the case eight years ago. Don't let him go, this person must die, I originally wanted to use this outsider Taoist priest, and there would be no harm if I failed, but since assassination is not feasible, I can only take risks..."

Just as he was about to start talking, another servant hurried in and reported: "The Taoist priest is wandering outside the palace city, and seems to want to see your lord!"

Tong Guan's thick eyebrows slightly raised: "Come to me so soon? What's his attitude?"

The servant said: "The face is extremely fierce, full of murderous intent!"

Tong Guan stroked his beard with a smile: "That's right, Wuyou beggars have something to say, once these orthodox practitioners use ghost weapons and are contaminated with hostility, their temperaments will change drastically. It seems that this one can't be killed." Gongsun Zhao is very angry, I will go see him!"

Tong Guan was superb in martial arts, well-informed, and not afraid, so he left the mansion with his two relatives and came to the edge of the palace city. Soon he saw Dong Yunzi standing under the moonlight, wiping his wooden sword. , the Taoist robe was wet, his expression was focused, and there was indeed a suffocation in his eyes.

Tong Guan's heart was settled: "Daoyun Master Dongyun!"

Dong Yunzi turned around and snorted coldly: "If the dog official is not dead, I feel uneasy!"

Tong Guan frowned slightly, the murderous intent didn't seem to be fake, but what was he doing for him so viciously, he was not Gongsun Zhao.

It's just right to think about it, this kind of proud generation has been frustrated again and again, and has formed personal grievances, so it's normal to keep dying.

Tong Guan sighed: "The Taoist priest still needs to take care of his health. If Gongsun Zhao is not cured, Bianjing will be restless!"

Dong Yunzi pursed his lips: "What do you mean, you want to continue the assassination?"

Tong Guan wondered where to find free thugs, so he cupped his fists and saluted: "Only the Taoist priest is willing to step forward and fight for the common people in the world!"

Dong Yunzi took a deep breath: "Pindao has revealed his whereabouts, and if Gongsun Zhao knows that I am not dead, will there be twists and turns?"

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Taoist priest, there are loyal ministers in the Ministry of Punishment who have long been dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhao, so they should secretly support righteous deeds!"

When Dong Yunzi was deceived, he believed everything the other party said. Once he woke up, he realized how big the loopholes in these nonsense were. If the officials of the Ministry of Punishment hadn't been working together with the castrated dogs, how could they have turned a blind eye to a criminal who had been beheaded and came back to life ?
Tong Guan still looked at the Taoist priest in front of him as ignorant of the world, and after a little fooling around, he asked the question he cared about the most: "Has Gongsun Zhao ever been stabbed by the Heart Eater?"

Dong Yunzi shook his head: "No, although he looked surprised when he saw Pindao, he was still very vigilant. It seemed that he had expected to be assassinated a long time ago, and the Heart-biting stabs all failed."

Tong Guan was startled: "Have you used all three Heart-biting thorns?"

Dong Yunzi said coldly: "What, you don't believe it?"

Tong Guan was not angry either, and showed just the right amount of concern on his face: "Of course I believe it, it's just hard work, I didn't expect that Gongsun Zhao is so vigilant, no wonder he has been evil for many years, no one has exposed his true colors, and he has won a good reputation. "

Dong Yunzi didn't want to listen, and said directly: "Although that kind of Heart-biting stab failed to kill Gongsun Zhao, it did make him flustered and he was very afraid, so he didn't dare to catch up. Is there such a heart-biting stab? Or a stronger ghost weapon!"

Tong Guan only thought about it for a moment, and immediately said: "I am willing to ask for it again for the Taoist priest!"

After all, Dong Yunzi's city is relatively shallow, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he turned around and said, "Go to the poor, you guys quickly handle it!"

Seeing Dong Yunzi's sleeve fluttering and disappearing out of sight, his confidantes were not convinced: "This Taoist priest failed in the assassination, why did he become arrogant instead?"

But Tong Guan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that I'm more impulsive and irritable... Yesterday I took out the weapon of ghosts, but Dong Yunzi refused many times, and didn't accept it until he brought it out of the official house. I took the initiative to ask for it today, the ghost way affects the temperament, it is really terrible, absolutely untouchable!"

Hearing the words, the left and right confidantes said: "Sir, shall we give it to him?"

Tong Guan said as a matter of course: "Of course!"

It's not that he used magic tools to be generous to others and kill his own enemies. How can there be any reason not to give them?
He returned to his mansion, came to the study, and picked a godson to come forward: "You write a letter to the head of the beggar in Wuyou Cave, asking him to prepare ghost weapons, not limited to ghost weapons, as long as As long as its power is stronger than the Heart-biting thorn..."

The little internal official stepped forward: "Yes! My lord!"

Tong Guan is literate, and his handwriting is not bad, but if he contacts the person in Wuyoudong, he will not write it himself, so as not to be caught by the other party and threatened. He watched his godson finish writing the letter and read it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Rewrite a letter, let him prepare a lot, the most effective magic weapon for warriors..."

"Yes, my lord!"

"The words are harsh, these thieves can't be polite to them, let them push their noses in the face..."

"Yes... my lord!"

"Isn't this too harsh? I still need these people. Don't turn your back on me and write again..."

"Yes……"

……

"Forget it, let's use the first one!"

"..."

Finally, when the little internal official retired without love, Tong Guan looked at the final version of the letter to the beggar head, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the words of my godson, but I think that I have to be so cautious when dealing with a mere thief leader in Wuyoudong, for fear of spoiling the big event in the palace, which is comparable to Li Xian's power back then. difference.

Tong Guan silently clenched his fist, the muscles and bones in his body made thunderous noises, and his desire for power became more urgent.

If he wants to take over the military power, Ren Sangong, the key relic of his master Li Xian, he must get it...

Gongsun Zhao, who was determined to find out the big case of the year and expose the truth, must die too!
"Send the letter to the head of the beggar!"

"After receiving the magic weapon, give it to Dong Yunzi as soon as possible!"
