That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 492

How deep is the water in the imperial capital?In the words of a great monk, even if a fairy moved a mountain and smashed it down, he would still be able to understand without a trace.

Things are divided into black and white, the sky has yin and yang, and so does the imperial court. In addition to the property on the bright side, there is also a deep inside story hidden in the dark.

If you are an old man who followed the late emperor to conquer the world, you will know that the late emperor never really trusted the present dark guard mansion. He relied most on the inner guards among the dark guards. The inner guards can be called the dark guards among the dark guards. The duty of picketing the illegality of the secret guards lies in the fact that they are more concealed in their external affairs. They are directly led by four secret guards who belong directly to Xiao Huang. The name is passed down from generation to generation.

After the founding of Da Qi, the Neiwei and the Dark Guard were separated and merged into the Tiance Mansion. Prajna among the four commanders restored his original Zhao surname, was given the name Wuji by Emperor Xiao, and became the commander of the Tiance Mansion.

The name of Zhao Wuji is the same as that of Zhang Wubing and Wei Wuji. The three of them are collectively called "Three Wus", and they respectively worked in the Governor's Mansion, the Dark Guard Mansion and the Tiance Mansion. He is relatively unknown and not ranked among the top four, but that doesn't mean that Zhao Wuji will be worse than the other two. Judging from the years he has been in charge of the Tiance Mansion, he is even slightly higher.

Compared with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Dark Guard's Mansion, the Tiance Mansion's scale is undoubtedly much smaller, ranking the bottom among the three mansions, but in terms of power alone, the three mansions don't have much distinction, it can only be said that each Performing their duties, the structures of Tiance Mansion and Dark Guard Mansion are roughly the same, both headed by three sitting governors. The post of long history.

The so-called long history does not necessarily have a high position, but a certain weight, especially in the Tiance Mansion. The two long history of the Tiance Mansion are Lan Yu and Zhao Qing. It is needless to say how Lan Yu is. Qingnian also controlled half of the military power in Dazheng, which can be seen from this.

Today's long history is Zhao Qing, but he has lost the spirit of the past, and no matter how high he is, he will always be under Xiao Yu, so he has no intention of power, and he is more focused on his own cultivation, hoping to be able to use it in his lifetime. Wu entered the Tao, climbed to the [-]th floor to enjoy the infinite scenery of the peak.

This time when Han Xuan returned to the temple, His Majesty meant to select one of the left and right governors of Tiance Mansion to guard Han Xuan, but in the end it was Zhao Qing who took the initiative to ask for orders. Leisure day.

After Zhao Qing left, part of the errands and authority that originally belonged to Changshi fell into the hands of the palm print governor Zhao Wuji, making this meritorious veteran even more powerful.

Compared with the prominent power of the Tiance Mansion, the yamen where it is located is unavoidably unsuitable, even unworthy of being on the stage. Although it is located in the imperial city and not far from the cabinet, it is a bit shabby compared to the humble cabinet. It's just a small black and white building surrounded by a small lake and hidden in a bamboo forest. It has a bit of leisure and natural charm, making it difficult to connect it with the word Tiance.

Today, two guests ushered in outside Tiance Mansion, a beautiful woman and an old man in a boa robe.

Someone had already been waiting at the gate of Tiance Mansion to welcome the two of them into the mansion. Not long after, a gentle and elegant old man came quickly, dressed in black uniform, and saluted the woman: "My minister has seen Your Highness the Princess." .”

The woman is Xiao Zhinan, and the python-robed old man beside her is Zhang Baisui, who is in the palm of the official supervisor. As for the old man in ordinary clothes, his status is no less than Zhang Baisui, and he is Zhao Wuji, the governor of Tiance Mansion. They can be regarded as working together for many years, but because of the presence of His Royal Highness Xiao Zhinan, the princess, there is no polite greetings, just a slight nod of the head.

Xiao Zhinan looked at this not-so-big courtyard curiously, and said: "It's good to be an academy here, but it's not good enough to be used as the government office of Tiance Mansion. They are tied for the same name, but the yamen of those two families are in a complete mess."

Zhao Wuji, who is like a private school teacher, smiled and said: "Your Highness's statement is interesting, but your Highness should not underestimate this small courtyard. In the previous dynasty, this place was where the Tianji Pavilion was placed, and the cardinal secret key of the entire imperial city formation is also Hide here."

Xiao Zhinan was slightly taken aback, glanced at the calm Zhang Baisui, then nodded with a smile.

Since Zhang Baisui didn't express it, then it is impossible that Zhao Wuji slipped his mouth. It is likely that the father intended to let her know these important confidential information.

Zhao Wuji continued: "As long as the big formation of the imperial city is opened, even the real person in charge above the [-]th floor cannot set foot in it. My Tiance Mansion is in charge of the cardinal of the big formation. Instead of covering it up, it is better to directly control the entire formation." The Tiance Mansion is on top, and anyone who wants to do something wrong must first destroy our Tiance Mansion."

Xiao Zhinan hummed, "I see."

Zhao Wuji looked at Zhang Baisui, but asked in his mouth: "Dare to ask Your Highness this time..."

Zhang Baisui, who had been silent for a long time, finally said with a blank face: "As ordered by His Majesty, Tiance Mansion is ordered to thoroughly investigate the attack on Princess Qi Yang."

Zhao Wuji straightened his expression, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "No."

Xiao Zhinan is a woman, so it is not easy to reach out to help the meritorious veteran like his father and brother, but the posture that should be done must be sufficient, he gave a little support, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Governor Zhao."

After Zhao Wuji got up, he said softly: "Her Royal Highness was plotted against by Xiaoxiao. In the final analysis, our Tiance Mansion was negligent. Now it is our duty to investigate this matter. How dare we take it for granted."

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said, "If Zhao Changshi hadn't personally acted, how could the villain Xiao Lin retreat so easily."

Zao Wou-ki sighed, "Over the years, the Tiance Mansion and the Ghost King's Palace have fought many times, winning and losing each other. The leader of the bandits, Xiao Lin, is even more unpredictable. He has escaped the encirclement and pursuit of our Tiance Mansion several times, which is very tricky."

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly and said, "Is there someone else behind Xiao Lin?"

Zhao Wuji nodded and said: "Old opponent."

Xiao Zhinan's heart moved, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The matter is very important, it's better for Your Highness to ask His Majesty in person."

Xiao Zhinan let out a soft breath, "I see."

Zhang Baisui coughed, and said softly: "Your Majesty has a second order, asking your Tiance Mansion to send someone to protect Her Highness the Princess. As for who to send, it's up to you, the commander of the palm seal, to make the decision."

Zhao Wuji had a bit of a headache and said: "The leader of the tiger battalion, Evil Tiger, and the leader of the internal guards, the ghost, can't move lightly, and I, the commander of the palm print, can't walk away. Chang Shi Zhao Qing has already gone to Han Ge's side, and only the left and right are left. It is not suitable for the two governors, and the left governor is appointed by the honored and noble ministers of the clan according to the usual practice, so it can only be the shadow of the right governor."

As the voice fell, a graceful figure appeared behind Zao Wou-ki, dressed in a first-class official uniform, black gauze on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and brocade boots on his feet. Three thousand blue silks dangled softly from under the black gauze, making his face whiter than snow , with eyes like stars, she is actually a beautiful woman in official attire without palace attire.

Zhao Wuji sighed softly: "I am the only one left among the four major secret guards back then, and the other three colleagues have all passed away. She is the daughter of the former shadow, and she has set foot in the realm of the earth fairy as early as the 15th year of Taiping. Qing is better than blue because of blue, and she is a woman, so it is more convenient to follow His Highness."

Shadow took a step forward and knelt down on one knee, "Shadow has met Her Royal Highness."
