This actor doesn't look like a good guy

The Earthly Branches are another secret guard beside the emperor, but the division of labor among the twelve beast heads is different.

The cow head in front of Jiang Youan is responsible for acting as eyes and ears, and helping other animal heads deal with the aftermath.

It's just that the other party has no interest in the Imperial City Division, and sometimes they restrain each other. This is also the emperor's original intention of establishing the Earthly Branches.

The purpose is to prevent the Imperial City Division from losing control.

That is to say, in recent years, the Imperial City Division has been trying its best to deal with Tianyi Palace, so there has been no conflict. Looking back at the beginning of the establishment of the Imperial City Division, there were many conflicts between the two sides.

But everyone is working for the court, and as long as they can get greater benefits, they can sacrifice each other.

So facing this Niu Shou who worked diligently but had no martial arts skills, Jiang Youan easily shattered the opponent's meridians with one palm.

And this move is Zhang Qingyi's best use.

After killing the people, Jiang Youan returned to the secret passage.

"Old Huang, have you done everything over there?"

"It's all done, sir."

"Haha, there is no need to call me master now. I am no longer Fu Qian. Fu Qian is dead."

"Then... Young Master?"

"Young master, it's okay." Jiang You'an smiled, "In that case, you can take up the post of governor of Jingzhao tomorrow."

"Young master, I have lived a long time, Lao Huang. I originally wanted to get a small official position with you, but I didn't expect that I would be the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture as soon as I took office. This is all thanks to you."

"Don't be so optimistic. Being the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture is not that easy. You not only have to deal with the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture, but you also have to contact the people of the Earthly Branches. Don't show any flaws. Once you show any flaws, you I will definitely not survive, and even I will be implicated by then."

When Lao Huang heard this, he slapped his skinny chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, even if I am caught, Lao Huang, I will never turn you in."

Jiang You'an nodded: "It doesn't have to be like this. No one can guarantee that they will be able to keep their mouth shut if they are really sentenced. You can say whatever you want when the time comes."

Lao Huang glanced at Jiang Youan gratefully: "Master..."

"Well, there's no need to say it. After all, you saved my life in the first place. I definitely don't want to see anything happen to you."

"Sir, Lao Huang will definitely complete all the tasks assigned by you."

Jiang Youan nodded.

Then Lao Huang will go back to Song Mansion to clean up the mess. After tonight, Lao Huang will look like Song Yi and become the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

Jiang Youan, on the other hand, became himself again.

Jiang Youan also returned to the room to check, making sure there were no loopholes before leaving quietly.

……

At the same time, Zhang Tian escaped from the Fu Mansion under the cover of his men. He thought he was powerful enough, but who would have thought that a tiger head suddenly appeared and disrupted all his plans. He is a master who is ranked among the top ten in Tianyi Palace, but he can't survive a few moves in the hands of Hu Shou.

He ran desperately in Chang'an City, looking back from time to time.

But at the next moment, a tall figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Young Master Tianyigong advocates Tian?"

"It's nothing more than that. I thought it was so powerful. It seems that the people in the Imperial City Department are really useless. After so long, they can't even take down a Tianyi Palace."

Hushou smiled ferociously: "If you were Zhang Qingyi, there would still be a need to live, but unfortunately you are not... Remember, the person who killed you is Hushou. If you have any grudges, you are welcome to come to me to avenge me in the next life!"

Zhang Tian's eyes were full of despair, but now there was really only one way to die if he just sat there and waited for death, so he immediately drew out his knife and killed the general, but how could he be the opponent of Tiger Head?

After only a dozen moves, the opponent's claw tore off the clothes on his chest and knocked him away.

"Too weak, you can still be the leader of the martial arts alliance."

"I heard that you were defeated by Jiang You'an before. He is more qualified than you. Why did Zhang Qingyi give birth to such a loser like you?"

"Don't come over. If I die, my father will definitely not let you go. You will all die by then!"

Zhang Tian's eyes were about to burst, but there was nothing he could do at this moment. He couldn't fight or run away.

Just when he was about to wait for death, suddenly a ghostly figure appeared behind Hushou.

I saw that the other person was dressed like a beggar that could be seen everywhere on the street, but when such a person appeared, Hushou didn't notice it at all. He didn't react until the pair of dry hands pierced his neck.

When the other party withdrew his hand, Hu Shou felt that air began to leak from his throat, and his brain gradually lost consciousness.

Turning his head hard and seeing the other person's face clearly, he instantly thought of the Earth Seven who lived and died with Tian in the enemy's country decades ago.

Because looking at the beggars in the world, no one except Di Qi can kill him so easily.

"You... you are Di Qi... a dog thief..."

But Di Qi wiped his hands on his clothes expressionlessly.

He glanced at the other party with disdain: "Are you the current Tiger Head? You are far worse than your master."

When Hushou heard this, his pupils shrank, and finally he fell to the ground with unwillingness and despair.

Zhang Tian, ​​who escaped and ascended to heaven, had a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, you are here."

Chen is Di Qi's real surname. After taking refuge with Zhang Qingyi, he restored his name.

"Well, your father is very angry about you running away privately, but he also said that since you are here, you can't leave empty-handed. The Prince of Daxia will leave the palace tomorrow. If you kill him, someone will help you leave. , and only after you complete this matter will the people in the martial arts world believe in you." Di Qi said slowly.

But Zhang Tian hesitated at this time. He couldn't even defeat a tiger in the capital, so how could he defeat the masters around the prince?

"You can't do it?" Di Qi's voice became even colder.

After hearing this, Zhang Tian hesitated for a long time, and finally clenched his fist heavily: "Yes!"

Then Di Qi left.

Zhang Tianze returned to another stronghold, because the previous one must not be able to stay anymore. He returned from the Fu Mansion empty-handed and was ambushed. He suspected that Yu Ruo had betrayed Tianyi Palace. No, this should not be suspicion, but The evidence is conclusive.

Yuruo knew their previous stronghold, so now he had to move to a new place.

He just brought out so many people, and now he is the only one left.

"If I go back like this, how can I have the face to meet my father? The prince will definitely die in my hands tomorrow!"

So he began to think again based on the road map and plans given to him by Di Qi.

But he didn't notice at all that Jiang Youan had appeared at the door.

Zhang Tian, ​​who noticed the movement at the door, immediately raised his knife.

"Who!"

"Jiang Youan! It's you!"

Zhang Tian's eyes turned red when he saw the person coming. This time he fell into a trap in the capital, and everything happened because of Jiang Youan.

And Jiang Youan seemed to see what the other party was thinking.

"What? Do you think everything you have now is caused by me?"

"Then why don't you say that you are in this position because of my gift?"

"This is what belongs to me."

"Haha, it belongs to you? In terms of martial arts, you are not as good as senior brother, and in terms of mind, you are not as good as me. Do you think your adoptive father really wants to help you rise to power? You are just a puppet of his."

"That's nonsense!" Jiang You'an shook his head: "Actually, it's good for you to be like this. You are more naive and will always live happily. But your mistake is that you should not come alone. As a chess piece, you must have chess pieces. Awakening, don’t you understand? The end result of making one’s own decisions will only become a weapon in the hands of others.”

But before he finished speaking, Zhang Tian, ​​who was already red-eyed, came over to kill him.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're really weak?"

"No wonder you can avoid being suspected in the Jinyi Guards. With your three-legged cat skills, who would think that you are Zhang Qingyi's biological son?"

Jiang Youan forced the opponent back with a few random moves.

"Zhang Tian, ​​my good adopted brother, you should take the first step. I will send my adopted father down to accompany you later." Jiang Youan said with a smile, and finally gently deflected the opponent's long knife that was coming at him again, and then stabbed him with the sword. into the other person's chest.

……

Something big happened in Chang'an City tonight.

The people from Tianyi Palace attacked Fu Mansion at night and Fu Qian was killed. The thieves from Tianyi Palace were wiped out by the people from Dizhi, leaving only Zhang Tian to escape.

At night, Di Qi suddenly appeared and killed Hu Shou again.

Earthly Branch lost a general.

……

"Did you kill the cow's head?"

At night, in the courtyard where Gu An lived, the lights were not turned on as usual.

Gu An asked looking at Jiang Youan in front of him.

"It was someone from Tianyi Palace who killed him."

After hearing this, Gu An smiled: "You have done a good job in this matter. You have grown a lot compared to before. This move has intensified the conflict between the earthly branches and the Tianyi Palace. This also allows us to put many people in , so I can reward you, is there anything you want?"

"I want you to make sure my parents are okay."

Gu An smiled: "I will do this even if you don't tell me. You can get a new one."

Jiang Youan stared at the other person and thought for a while: "Then I want to give you a slap."

But who would have expected that after Gu An thought for a moment, he actually nodded in agreement.

Even Jiang Youan didn't expect it, because this was just what he said out of anger, and he hated Tianyi in front of him.

Then Jiang Youan raised his hand and slapped the other person in the face.

But Gu An suddenly dodged and dodged the slap faster than Jiang Youan.

"Hahaha, I didn't hit it. I said I would only give you one chance, but now you have no chance."

"you……"

Jiang Youan was angered by the other party's shamelessness.

"You don't need me, my man has said what he said, and it's hard to chase him. Next, let's talk about the mission. Song Yi is dead, but Lao Huang will take his place, so I plan to move Lao Huang's position to the local tycoon. The seventh place, and he is the new seventh.

In addition, Zhang Tian's side should have been rescued by his predecessor Di Qi. They will most likely plan to assassinate the prince tomorrow, so we can make a fuss about this. It's a pity that your identity as Fu Qian is already dead. Otherwise, if we could get Once you achieve this first achievement, you will be able to achieve success in the future. "

When Gu An said this, Jiang Youan smiled: "Zhang Tian is also dead, just killed."

"Zhang Tian is also dead."

Tianyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled even more happily on his face: "Awesome, awesome, you can actually come this far ahead of time. It seems that you have really grown up. In this case, you should be The prince you protect can also die, because only in this way can the demise of Tianyi Palace be accelerated."

"Well, I see."

Jiang Youan nodded and left.

But just after Jiang Youan left, Gu An suddenly coughed violently.

Within a moment, Gu An put down the hand he had just covered his mouth, and there was a large pool of bright red blood inside.

At this time, if you look carefully behind Gu An, you can see a figure wearing a black robe standing in the shadows.

……

Overnight, the fox head died, and the whereabouts of the snake head were unknown.

There were twelve Earthly Branches in total, and two were missing just overnight.

"The tiger head died from a very strange move. Someone directly penetrated the entire neck from behind with the palm of his hand, and the neck bone was broken in an instant. As far as I know, no current sect uses this method. It’s a move.”

"Did someone from Tianyigong do that?"

"It's very possible, but the suspicion of the Imperial City Division cannot be ruled out."

"You mean the Imperial City Secretary betrayed the imperial court?"

"I feel..."

"Impossible. Although the Imperial City Division has always been at odds with our Earthly Branches, they are determined not to betray the imperial court. If Gu An had such an idea at the time, he could directly become a black hand behind the scenes in an enemy country and control a country. Since he Once you come back, you won’t be able to betray the imperial court.”

"Then only Tianyi Palace is left."

"I didn't expect that old man Zhang Qingyi would have such a master under his command. As expected, people in the martial arts world should not be underestimated."

"But tomorrow when the prince leaves the palace, Zhang Tian will definitely assassinate the prince. We must protect the prince then."

……

"Yes."

Just like that, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

As soon as it dawned, the morning bell rang, and people took to the streets one after another, as if nothing happened yesterday.

Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The first thing Song Yi did when he came to the Yamen was to arrange for everyone to enforce security on Zhuque Street and search for all suspicious persons.

Song Yi took Wu Zuo to the Fu Mansion again, checked Fu Qian's body, and after confirming that it was undoubtedly his, he asked the people in the Fu Mansion to start preparing for the funeral.

The person was put into the coffin in the morning.

After all, the evidence for this matter is conclusive. The murderer is Zhang Tian's group. In addition, Fu Qian's status is noble. Firstly, he is an official of the imperial court. Secondly, Fu Qian is the son of the governor of Yangzhou, so it is natural to keep a complete body. No more post mortems needed.

Then he went to the Tiger Hall again, and now the dog's head, the chicken's head and the horse's head were here.

"Niu Shou, next we will arrange for people to protect the prince. Your people will be outside to respond. If anything is wrong, they will be captured on the street."

"Well, the twelve Earthly Branches are connected with the same energy, so the death of the tiger head must not be in vain, and the whereabouts of the snake head must be found as soon as possible."

……

Because too many things have happened in the capital recently, the emperor arranged for the prince to leave the palace this time.

Firstly, it was to let the common people meet the prince in advance, and secondly, it was to divert the common people's attention.

This move is also to tell the people that the city is still very safe.

And everyone who was preparing to take action today was watching the scene around them.

Until there was a sudden explosion from the southwest. (End of chapter)
