My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 184 The emperor is going to cause trouble

"Master, someone from the court is here." As soon as he returned to Lu Mansion, he saw Li Xingzhi waiting outside the door, and Lu Xuan hurriedly came to greet him.

"Know?" Lu Xuan nodded and asked as he walked.

"Cao Jingzhong." Li Xingzhi said in a deep voice.

Lu Xuan paused, sighed with regret, nodded and said, "I understand, I'll handle it."

We are all here, and with the perception of a fifth-grade master, it is impossible for me to turn around and leave now, so I might as well be more generous.

"Yes." Li Xingzhi agreed, turned and left.

"Eunuch Cao, long time no see." Lu Xuan entered the main hall, looked at Cao Jingzhong and said with a smile.

"Lu Boyan? You're not..." Cao Jingzhong looked at Lu Xuan in shock. Just now, he felt that Lu Xuan's breath was familiar.

"There were too many people offended at that time. If we didn't fake death and get away, even if the five sects of the Tao Alliance didn't care, life would not have been easy with so many casual cultivators chasing them." Lu Xuan sat down with emotion and said, "Let's get to know each other again. Lu Xuan, I have met Eunuch Cao."

"Are you Lu Xuan?" Cao Jingzhong looked at Lu Xuan. Although he had already guessed, when he was really sure, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Back in Dongzhou, he had watched Lu Xuan build the Tianxiahui from scratch and break the blockade of the Taoist Alliance. Although he did not win the Mountain and River Seal in the end, he was indeed a talented person. When he heard the news of Lu Xuan's death, he still felt a little regretful. .

"No wonder." Cao Jingzhong nodded and said, "In that case, why didn't your people come to look for me in the first place?"

"Lu Boyan is a dead person after all. If you can, let him disappear." Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it in the end."

"The same goes for Xun Awang." Cao Jingzhong nodded and said, "But your current sect in Yunzhou is not as good as it was in Dongzhou."

"There is no way. Now that the master is gone, my father-in-law is begging for food. I have to worry about my father-in-law and don't dare to go too far." Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Besides, the officials from all the counties in Yunzhou are all disciples of the prime minister. Lu is also afraid of annoying those people. Prime Minister, it’s hard for a father-in-law to be a prime minister.”

"Prime Minister?" Cao Jingzhong laughed disdainfully and said, "He's just a little man who can make the most of the wind. Don't be afraid of him. Our family is here to tell you, go ahead and do it. If anything happens, our family will be here. No one dares to mess around.”

If it were in the past, Cao Jingzhong would really have to worry about Jiang Song. After all, Jiang Song was selected by a prominent family, and touching him would be equivalent to disturbing a prominent family.

But now, His Majesty seems to be willing to reconcile with the nobles, so Jiang Song, a pawn, has lost the meaning of existence.

Your Majesty will not want him again, and on the noble side, the last time the military power was decentralized to the counties, Jiang Song has offended the noble families in his attempt to seize the military power of the counties in Yunzhou, and no one will protect him anymore.

It seems that Jiang Song is a high-ranking official in the court and holds a high position. In fact, Jiang Song has been isolated in the court. Otherwise, if his grandson was beheaded in public, how could no one come forward to help?

"I understand." Lu Xuan understood and asked casually: "By the way, father-in-law, as far as I know, Jiang Song is not outstanding in terms of family or knowledge. How did he become the prime minister? I am just curious, father-in-law. If If you don’t feel comfortable answering, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Although Jiang Song did not have the power of the imperial court during this period, there were many assassins sent secretly. The hatred between the two sides could not be resolved. Lu Xuan basically got all the information about the high-level officials of the imperial court from Liu Yiyi. He If you want to deal with these people now, you must have an intelligence channel.

"There's nothing bad to say about that." Cao Jingzhong said with a smile: "Speaking of Jiang Song, we have to talk about His Majesty's struggle over the foundation of the country."

"The dispute over the country's foundation?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.

"Well, your Majesty was not the prince at that time. The prince was your second emperor brother." Cao Jingzhong nodded and said: "The group headed by Zaifu Liu Shan supported the second prince at the beginning, and Jiang Song was Liu Shan's friend and retainer. His literary talent Yes, he is deeply trusted by Liu Shan, so he also knows a lot about some of the second prince’s plans.”

"Then he surrendered to His Majesty and betrayed Liushan?" Lu Xuan understood and asked with a smile.

"Well, that incident was quite a big deal at the time. The Taiyuan Academy and the Xie family were both involved. In the end, the second prince and the Liu family had to be abandoned. The second prince was deprived of his position as prince and was thrown into the cold palace. The Liu family's house was confiscated and the man was Exiled to the army, the women became prostitutes, the Liu family of Yanzhou has declined, but there is another Qingyu Jiang family, and Jiang Song also used the merit of following the dragon to advance from a retainer to the court."

"I was originally supposed to be a close minister of His Majesty, but later I wanted to be a member of the aristocratic family. I gradually became the opposite of His Majesty, and then I was pushed to the position of the first rank in the dynasty."

At the end of the sentence, Cao Jingzhong sneered with some disdain: "It sounds nice that he is the first-class dog in the dynasty, but in fact, he is just an unfamiliar dog."

Liu Shan treated him like a friend, but sent the Liu family to the guillotine. The emperor gave him the opportunity to achieve a class jump, but he stood opposite the emperor for the sake of growing the family and served as a pawn for the scholars. Later, the military power was decentralized. If he is his own, he will decisively stab the scholar in the back.

tsk~

Lu Xuan shook his head. No wonder he beheaded his own grandson who was the first rank in the dynasty and ended up sending an assassin to kill him.

"Okay, your majesty still wants our family to serve you." Cao Jingzhong stood up and said, "I came here to tell you this. Don't worry about the Jiang family. What your majesty wants is control of Yunzhou, and the Jiang family is blocking the way."

"Understood." Lu Xuan said knowingly: "Father, please wait a moment."

After speaking, Lu Xuan went to his treasury and brought a sachet with him when he came back.

"I got this from a girl from the Yin Yue Dao Sect when I was in Dongzhou last time. I can't use it, and I don't dare to use the things inside. Could you please help me take care of it?" Lu Xuan handed the sachet to me. Cao Jingzhong.

It looks like a sachet, but it's actually a treasure bag.

Cao Jingzhong stretched out his hand to take it, his spiritual thoughts swept through it, and the smile on his face became a little more: "When we were in Dongzhou, our family felt that you were not a thing in the pool. There are several royal secret books here, which can be cultivated to five levels. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Lu Xuan reached out and took the technique from Cao Jingzhong. Although he had the Blood Transformation Scripture, he lacked the cultivation techniques at his disposal. The best thing Lu Xuan has now is from the former Shangyang Prefect Zhou Ji. Now that I have these few books on the cultivation method of the Immaculate Realm, the foundation of the Guiyi Sect has been strengthened.

"And this, His Majesty gave it to our family. We have no use keeping it, so I'll give it to you too." Cao Jingzhong hesitated and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Lu Xuan, and patted Lu Xuan seriously. The hand said: "This, practice carefully!"

Lu Xuan took the bamboo slips with both hands, nodded and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will be cautious."

"Okay, our family won't stay here any longer, you can take care of yourself!" After Cao Jingzhong finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Lu Xuan sat back in his seat. He didn't look at the exercises, but silently opened the bamboo slips. His eyes quickly scanned the contents recorded on the bamboo slips, and his brows couldn't help but jump.

Isn't this the method of swallowing luck?

Zhang Yuqing used this method to reach the third-level realm in a short time. Many senior brothers who established separate sects used this method to reach the sixth-level realm in a short period of time. They almost overturned Daqian.

It is definitely impossible for the emperor to give this thing to Cao Jingzhong.

It was prepared for myself from the beginning.

He had to let go of his hands and feet, and he thoughtfully gave himself this secret method.

Is this a way to set off another United Church uprising?

Lu Xuan squeezed the bamboo slip into pieces with his palm.

The Dog Emperor clearly wants to use himself as a spearman.

Thinking of Cao Jingzhong's reminder before leaving, he obviously knew the secret.

interesting.

"Master, there are a group of women outside the door asking to see you." A servant came in and saluted Lu Xuan. "Let them come in." Lu Xuan nodded, waved his hand, and put away the exercises.

The masked woman is still sitting in the wheelchair. Next to her is Ruyan, whose right hand is hanging down. There is still a look of fear and pain on her face. After that are five women. Except for the one pushing the wheelchair for the masked woman, the other five are all The late stage of innateness or the peak.

"I've met the leader." The masked woman sat in a wheelchair and saluted Lu Xuan.

"Take off the mask and talk to me." Lu Xuan looked at the masked woman and said.

"I'm sorry, I...uh..." Before the masked woman could finish her words, the tingling feeling suddenly came over again.

"You don't think I'm asking you, do you?" Lu Xuan looked at the masked woman and withdrew his magical power.

The masked woman breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Xuan with some fear. After hesitating for a moment, she silently reached out and took off the mask on her face.

The face under the mask is very white, just like her skin, not much blood. She is less than twenty years old, and has a delicate and beautiful appearance. At least in Lu Xuan's aesthetics, this woman's appearance is considered top-notch.

He has a cold temperament, not like a killer.

"A killer organization composed of a group of women?" Lu Xuan looked at the woman and said, "Do you have anyone else?"

"No, there are only eight of us in Shadow Kill." The woman hesitated for a moment, but still did not take the mask back.

"Who made the arrangements that led me to the brothel today?" Lu Xuan asked as he fumbled with his teacup.

"It's a little girl." The masked woman said coldly.

"Name." Lu Xuan looked at the woman and asked.

"Yu Linglong."

"Real name?" Lu Xuan asked with a frown.

"Real name." The masked woman said firmly.

“Why do you do this?”

"Livelihood." Yu Linglong saw Lu Xuan looking at her and said after a moment of silence: "My mother was originally a killer trained by an organization in Kangguo. Because she was pregnant with me, she was hunted down by the organization. Later she escaped to Daqian and adopted them. He taught us martial arts and assassination. Later, my mother suffered from an old injury and passed away. We can only do this life."

"Is it wrong to kill a good person?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.

"Shadow kills people, regardless of good or evil!" Yu Linglong was as calm as a machine.

"Serve me." Lu Xuan looked at Yu Linglong and said, "Are you willing?"

"Do we have a choice?" Yu Linglong looked directly at Lu Xuandao.

"I am a very open-minded person. I usually treat women with compassion. If you don't want to, you can choose to die." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"The leader's kindness and compassion opened the little girl's eyes." Yu Linglong had no emotional fluctuations. Before today, she thought she was not afraid of death until she met Lu Xuan.

"Choose." Lu Xuan didn't want to talk nonsense.

"Can the leader untie the things on us?" Yu Linglong looked at Lu Xuandao.

"I can't believe you, but your abilities are really needed right now, so... no." Lu Xuan shook his head.

"Who do you want us to kill?" Yu Linglong didn't say much. She had conducted a detailed investigation on Lu Xuan. He was an extremely decisive person. Morality and reason could not shake his decision. Now it seems that he is lustful. The fog he throws out to the outside world.

"I want to organize an intelligence agency to spy on and analyze all kinds of information, and hand over useful information to me. You are a perfect fit." Lu Xuandao.

"I need money." Yu Linglong looked at Lu Xuan and said, "A lot."

"Don't worry about money, how long will it take to build an intelligence organization all over Daqian?" Lu Xuan asked.

"Ten years." Yu Linglong said: "I don't know to what extent the leader's intelligence agency has been established, but since it is looking for me, it must be still in its infancy. To spread throughout the country, it is necessary to train agents, gather intelligence, and analyze intelligence. To establish a complete method of handing over intelligence and subdivide it according to different situations, many people must be trained from an early age, and even if you have money, it will take ten years to take shape."

"Then if I want some information about Tiandu, especially the general information about the powerful people, how soon can I get it?" Lu Xuan asked after a moment of silence.

"If only, we would be enough." Yu Linglong thought.

"Okay, we will build it according to the most complete intelligence system, but we also need intelligence from Tiandu." Lu Xuan stood up and said, "If you can, start setting it up immediately. You only need to be responsible for me."

"Can my subordinates bring back the mask?" Yu Linglong hesitated and asked.

"Okay." Lu Xuan nodded.

"No other requirements?" Yu Linglong said in surprise.

"What request?" Lu Xuan was confused.

"Go to bed." Yu Linglong said this as if she were eating.

"Why do you ask that?" Lu Xuan was puzzled.

"Any man who has seen the appearance of a little girl will have this idea." Yu Linglong's voice was calm, not like narcissism.

"It is indeed beautiful, but I have no idea of ​​having a relationship with my subordinates. Your brain is a hundred times more important than your body in my opinion!" Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, lord." Yu Linglong silently took the mask back and said, "Ruyan is no longer qualified, so she will stay with the lord. As for whether to kill or use it, it is up to the lord to decide."

"Isn't it good for logistics?" Lu Xuan said in surprise.

"Shadow Kill doesn't want to cripple people." Yu Linglong's calm voice was full of coldness.

Looking at Ruyan who looked ashen, Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Then stay."
