After leaving Chengtianmen, Li Gaoqian pointed to the left and took Chang He for a walk. That was his territory. The Zuojian guard's station was on the west side of Chengtianmen Street, close to Menxia Province.
"Princess Pingyang is in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, and the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards are all under her jurisdiction." Li Gaoqian said in a low voice: "Huairen is the best friend of her, and they are treated like siblings..."
Chang He smiled bitterly, "How dare you offend the King of Handan, a lower official?"
Li Gaoqian also asked Chang He carefully in the past two days why he was driven back to Chang'an. He guessed in his heart that Li Shan just wanted to use people... Why did he keep Liu Shirang, who was actually disliked by him himself? Just use people.
Chang He can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield, but in terms of ability, he is not too outstanding...a far cry from Zhang Shigui, Zhang Gongjin, and Xue Wanche.
However, Li Gaoqian also knew that although Li Shan drove Chang He back to Chang'an, he transferred Xue Wanche into the army and asked the East Palace to recommend Lu Chengji to serve as a military official... As for the power of the East Palace in Daizhou, not only did it not Weakened, but strengthened.
On the one hand, it is for this reason. On the other hand, after all, Chang He was recruited by the East Palace from Shaanxi Province, the base camp of King Qin. Therefore, Prince Li Jiancheng not only did not complain at all, but repeatedly comforted him. When Li Gaoqian was appointed as the guard general of the right prison, Chang He was brought over and raised a level.
"I will officially take office tomorrow." Li Gaoqian explained: "Don't slack off, Princess Pingyang patrols very strictly day and night."
"Thank you Duke for your guidance."
Li Gaoqian smiled and said, "Actually, Huairen... we can wait until we return to Beijing. It is said that Huairen may be appointed as Zongzheng Shaoqing."
Li Gaoqian also felt that he had a lot of face in front of Li Shan and could make peace for Chang He... He had no idea who was responsible for his being in that situation a few months ago.
Chang He left the imperial city in silence, headed south, detoured two or three squares, and stopped outside a newly built house.
"Mr. Sanlang is back." The guard stepped forward and tightened the reins.
"Where's Prince Bin?"
The guard pursed his lips, "Drunk again."
A smile appeared on Chang He's dull face. He stepped inside and saw Ma Zhou sleeping soundly on the couch, "Prince Bin, Prince Bin!"
"Oh, brother Dalai is back." Ma Zhou rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, "I have been asleep for more than two hours... Is it time to have dinner?"
Chang He was speechless. After a while, he picked up Ma Zhou and said, "Today the prince summoned me and I transferred to the left prison guard."
"The gatekeeper of the left prison guards the entrance, and the guard of the right prison guards the exit." Ma Zhou said lazily: "This is the most important thing to protect the imperial city. The prince is quite magnanimous."
Chang He sighed, "But the Beiya Imperial Army is controlled by Princess Pingyang..."
"No problem." Ma Zhou waved his hand and sneered: "To put it bluntly, Brother Dalai is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get into the eyes of Princess Pingyang."
Chang He nodded with a wry smile, thought for a while and then said, "It is said that the King of Handan will return to Beijing soon and may become Zongzheng Shaoqing."
"Shaoqing Zongzheng?" Ma Zhou's expression did not change. He thought for a while and said, "Li Huairen is a mean and ungrateful person. He seems to be a righteous man, but he always puts profit first in his actions. He seems to be taking the wrong approach, but in fact he is doing everything he can. Be careful."
After a pause, Ma Zhou explained: "I went to Daizhou last year to open up trade routes and prepare for the establishment of Xia City, which is proof of this."
Chang He nodded in agreement. In the final analysis, Li Shan's current status in Daizhou lies largely in Xia City and the trade routes. He used the powerful families in Daizhou as his pawns to rebuild the trade routes, and the Hedong family as his pawns. To make Xia City prosperous, he actually did not pay anything.
"I was released last year... I have some speculations, it should be to avoid seizing the legitimate son." Ma Zhou said carelessly: "Shaoqing Zongzheng... will definitely be involved in the seizing of the legitimate son. Although Li Huairen is mean and ungrateful, he knows Advance and retreat, knowing the gains and losses, may not take on this position.”
Hearing Ma Zhou mention "mean and unkind" twice in a row, Chang He also sighed. This old friend seemed to have deep resentment towards the King of Handan.
This is also inevitable. Before Li Jing took office, there were many positions in Daizhou's general manager's office that were vacant. Li Shan would rather let the children of Daizhou's powerful clan take up the positions in the name of inspecting the school, instead of making any plans for Ma Zhou.
"But those things don't concern us." Ma Zhou stood up with his hands on the couch, "Brother Dalai is finally freed from prison today. It's a joy and congratulations. How about..."
Chang He waved his hands repeatedly, "I will go to work tomorrow and don't dare to drink."
After a pause, Chang He added: "The Crown Prince has great faith and has been transferred to the right prison as a guard and appointed as the Zhonglang General."
There was undisguised envy in Ma Zhou's eyes. This guy was lost twice in Daizhou and was driven back to Chang'an. He was actually promoted from Youlang General to Zhonglang General... It was probably because of his status as a former member of King Qin's army. .
"Since you were promoted..." Ma Zhou suddenly grabbed the wine bottle on the table next to him and shook it.
"Prince Bin, when you are ready to take a rest, you must be drunk before you rest." Chang He couldn't laugh or cry, "I was ordered to station at Xuanwu Gate. Princess Pingyang patrolled day and night and did not dare to neglect."
"Xuanwu Sect?" Ma Zhou was stunned and forced a smile, "Then let Brother Dalai go this time..."
The two talked for a long time, and Chang He finally returned to the main room, while Ma Zhou sat in the guest house speechless for a long time. It turned out to be the Xuanwu Gate, it turned out to be the Xuanwu Gate!
Ma Zhou had never entered the imperial city, but he had seen Li Shan mention it in private... He still remembered Li Shan's unpredictable tone when he mentioned Xuanwu Gate and how important it was.
It is indeed important.
If you want to attack the imperial city, Xuanwu Gate is the fastest and most direct passage. Once you enter Xuanwu Gate, you can reach Tai Chi Palace unimpeded!
And outside the Xuanwu Gate is the Forbidden Garden, and the Changlin Army of the East Palace is stationed at the Changlin Gate of the East Palace near the Forbidden Garden... Could it be that the Prince of the East Palace has the intention to usurp the throne?
Of course, the only way to attack the imperial city is through Xuanwu Gate. The army can also enter Chang'an from Fanglin Gate on the west side of Xuanwu Gate, detour to the west, enter the imperial city through Jiaqing Gate, and then turn to Chengtianmen Street to attack Only through Chengtianmen can you reach Taiji Palace.
In comparison, Xuanwu Gate is much closer and more convenient.
The bright moonlight shines through the window into the house, reflecting the uncertainty on Ma Zhou's face. What is most difficult for him to understand is that even if Li Shan guessed that Chang He might return to Chang'an and be re-employed as the crown prince, guarding the Xuanwu Gate...did Li Shan guess it?
If it weren't for the Xuanwu Sect, it wouldn't make much sense for Li Shan to stuff himself next to Chang He... Ma Zhou doesn't belittle himself. He knows his abilities very well and how much Li Shan values him.
Shaking the wine bottle at hand, he raised it high and tilted it backwards. A few drops of wine fell into his mouth. Ma Zhou pursed his lips dissatisfied, thinking what on earth would Li Shan want me to do?
But no matter what you do, you will definitely use it on the edge.
After getting on this boat, it is impossible to leave again. Not to mention my friendship with Li Shan, not to mention that I know so many secrets of Li Shan. Just being an old mother who has already lived in Sun Moon Lake has decided that I cannot have anything else. choose.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
