Chapter 31
Shangguan Wan'er is slender, with an elegant cloud and moon bun on her head, and a pair of spiritual almond eyes under her heroic Yuanshan eyebrows.

His rosy lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His whole figure was like a bouquet of dignified and graceful peony flowers, and also like a proud and restrained plum blossom sword.

In Xia Ao's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er's appearance is similar to Liu Zhiyun and Shangguan Xuan's, but her temperament is much better than the two.

Standing in front of such a beautiful woman, even if you just admire it quietly, it can make you feel refreshed.

Looking at Yuan Tiangang again in a blink of an eye, this is a man with a full sky and a round earth. His eyes are extremely deep, and there seems to be stars twinkling in his pupils.

Originally, such a tall man with majestic features should give people a sense of daunting alienation, but the carefully tailored Taoist robe suppressed most of this majesty, making it seem less difficult to touch.

In addition, his complexion is very ruddy, and his face is quite young. He looks like he is in his thirties, not at all like a 50-year-old.

But this is also normal. After entering the Dharma Body Realm, with the continuous increase of cultivation base, the life span will gradually extend, and the sense of vicissitudes that the years can bring will also be delayed.

Coupled with some panacea for beauty, even a person who is one or two hundred years old can still maintain a middle-aged appearance, it is not impossible.

After looking at the two of them carefully, Xia Ao looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a smile.

"Wan'er, is it okay for Gu to call you like this?"

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips into a smile, slightly bent her knees and said, "Your Highness can be called whatever you want, this is Wan'er's honor."

"Okay, you will follow Gu in the future, and when you return to the mansion, you will take over the position of chief manager and take care of the affairs of the mansion for Gu."

Xia Ao has always been dissatisfied with Xu Shang, the manager, because the old man is indecisive and very timid.

He originally planned to let Rong Luo go up, but now that there is a more suitable candidate, Rong Luo doesn't have to think about it.

After all, Shangguan Wan'er's loyalty was unquestionable, but it was hard to say about Rong Luo's.

What's more, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Rong Luoxu's cultivation at the second level of the body is not enough.

"Thank you, Your Highness~"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes brightened slightly, and the smile between her brows became even stronger.

She is well aware of Xia Ao's situation at the moment, and this position of manager can be regarded as the most important position under Xia Ao at present.

Xia Aoken handed over this position to her, which shows his trust in her ability.

Xia Ao nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yuan Tiangang.

"Right now, I only have the eyes and ears of bad people. As a bad guy, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. But I believe in your ability, and I will rely on you in the future."

Yuan Tiangang's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed to Xia Ao.

"Your Highness speaks seriously. It is Tiangang's mission to serve His Highness. You must never take the word 'reliance' from His Highness."

"Okay, it's a slip of the tongue."

Xia Ao smiled and raised his hand.

"All sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a seat!"

Yuan Tiangang and Shangguan Wan'er knelt and sat down on the soft seats next to Xia Ao's left and right, but kept their backs straight to show respect.

"Tiangang, tell Gu, what is the situation of bad people now, how many people are there in my big summer?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the bad guys are divided into 36 departments, each with thousands of people, each led by a school lieutenant."

"In each department, a school lieutenant usually directs two hundred villains to take charge of some tricky operations, and the remaining 800 people are scattered around to collect intelligence, and are also responsible for assassination."

"Of course, this is only temporary. From now on, all bad people will go offline secretly."

"The number of bad people is limited after all. They are scattered in the vast area of ​​​​several countries, like a bowl of water thrown into a vast lake. Relying on them alone, the information that can be obtained is very limited."

Having said that, Yuan Tiangang paused for a while, then changed the subject, and began to answer Xia Ao's second question.

"There are six departments of bad people in Daxia, two of which are located in the imperial capital. Of these two departments, one is personally commanded by a subordinate, and the other is led by the school lieutenant Wen Tao."

When "Wen Tao" was mentioned, a smile suddenly appeared in Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

"Your Highness, Wen Xiaowei's arrival here has already made a great contribution to His Highness."

Xia Ao couldn't help being taken aback, and said with great interest: "Oh? There is such a thing? Tell me quickly."

"Does Your Highness know Pixiu Guard?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't answer the question, Xia Ao frowned slightly.

"Pixiu Weigu naturally knows that it is the dark sword of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the assassination of the former Fangu was their handwriting!"

"What, you mean that Wen Tao has infiltrated Pixiu Guard, and got the secret that Pixiu Guard wanted to assassinate Gu again?"

"Or, he knew about the relationship between Pixiu Wei and Xia Jue?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, he didn't expect Xia Ao to know the behind-the-scenes of the assassination, and even knew about the relationship between the Fourth Prince of Daxia and Pixiuwei.

Surprised, Yuan Tiangang nodded, then shook his head again, his expression became serious.

"Your Highness, you are right. The Fourth Prince Xia Jue has been manipulated by the Great Jin Dynasty. Your assassination before was also done by them."

"However, the secrets that Wen Tao knows are even more tricky."

"Your Highness, they have already learned about the secret of the substitute through Xu Shang's son. Although they are not sure that you are the substitute, they already have a plan to use Xu Shang's mouth to kill someone..."

At the moment, Yuan Tiangang explained the details of the incident and the other party's specific plan.

After listening to the story, Xia Ao's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that the sixth prince who died actually hid something from Yuan Shen, who didn't know that Xu Shang also knew about the substitute.

If he hadn't happened to get a bad person today, the consequences would have been disastrous!

"This matter is indeed dangerous, but fortunately, it is fortunate that the deputy guard of Paixiu Guard, Lang Yu, has a backbone named Wen Tao under his command, and the school captain Wen Tao just happened to replace that person."

Yuan Tiangang expressed relief, with a calm and confident expression.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, since we know about this, not only will they not be able to pose any threat to His Highness, but they will have to pay the price in blood!"

"Now it's up to Your Highness how you want to deal with them?"

Xia Ao let out a long breath and calmed down.

"What cultivation level is that Lang Tiao? How many people are there in the imperial capital?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Lang Tiao is at the fourth level of the Spiritual Body Realm, and his cultivation is not bad, but his subordinates can suppress it with a flip of their palms."

Yuan Tiangang's tone was very calm, but the calmer he was, the more he could see his absolute confidence.

"As for Pixiu Guard's troops in the imperial capital, according to Wen Tao's feedback, apart from those downlines who don't know where they came from, the direct subordinates should be around a thousand, and they are all elite."

"Except for Lang Tiao, could Wen Tao command all the Pixiu guards in the city?"

Xia Ao continued to ask questions.
