The main agency room of Chongxiao Tower is built in the center. If you want to enter, you must visit all the peripheral agencies.
However, Cao Bin's large army has already come in, so there is no need to work hard at all.
Yang Zhi and others captured many of the palace's original guards and put them in one by one.
Xia Laodao followed them and gradually cracked the mechanism.
During this period, Deng Che, Zhang Hua, Xu Chang and other martial arts masters guarding the gate made a sneak attack, but were shot into hedgehogs by the soldiers following Cao Bin.
This made the people guarding the building very depressed. Cao Bin's men were too extravagant.
Each person is equipped with a repeating crossbow, and I don’t know how the crossbow was made.
The rate of fire was fast and powerful, as if they were the ones being ambushed by the agency.
Without armor to defend themselves, they couldn't even deal with Cao Bin's ordinary soldiers, and they didn't even have room to show off their martial arts.
Soon, everyone arrived at the main office of the agency. Xia Laodao showed a happy expression on his face, pointed at several horizontal locks and said:
"This is the information hub. The secret rooms of SKY Tower are under its control."
"If you can't destroy it, no matter how many people you have, they won't be able to enter the confidential room."
Cao Bin couldn't wait any longer and waved his hand: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you just cut it off?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi hurried forward and said, "I'm coming!"
As he said that, he raised the sharp blade in his hand and slashed at the iron rope. Sparks flew everywhere, but the iron rope was unscathed.
Yang Zhi was so shocked that he took three steps back, quickly turned the blade over, looked at it distressedly, and said in disbelief:
"This is my ancestral sword, but it can't cut through the iron rope?"
Xia Laodao looked at the iron rope carefully and then said: "This is made of black iron, and ordinary swords cannot cut it."
Cao Bin's heart moved and he said: "Sedan, come and try it!"
The two large halberds on the sedan were forged from materials that Cao Bin spent 800 points redeemed from the system. They were made from the same furnace as Hu Sanniang's Sun and Moon Sword, so they might also be considered treasured blades.
Hearing this, the sedan chair swung the halberd directly and slashed at the iron rope. There was a crisp "clang" sound, and the iron rope suddenly broke into two pieces.
But the halberd blade of the sedan chair was not damaged at all.
Xia Laodao looked at the dozens of kilograms of spurge carried on the sedan, with a distressed look on his face and cursed:
"Damn it, such good materials are used to forge bulky halberds. Who is so wicked and wastes natural resources?"
Cao Bin slapped him directly:
"It's me. If he dares to speak dirty words again, I will throw you into the prison and kill you!"
Before he could reply, Cao Bin said:
"I still have a lot of materials. If any of you make a contribution, I will naturally reward you."
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered up and smiled.
Most of the people present are warriors, and a good weapon can be regarded as a family heirloom.
What's more, the double halberds forged from this material are actually more powerful than Yang Zhi's family heirloom sword. It shows that it is extraordinary, which makes them even more happy.
Lu Zhishen said quickly: "Uncle, can you forge a Zen staff for me?"
Cao Bin was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to him. He just waved his hand and said, "Let's go in!"
Why should a blunt weapon like his Zen staff be made of precious materials? You really think I'm being taken advantage of.
Everyone filed in and saw that the room was airtight, candles were brightly lit, and several boxes were placed on the ground.
After his men carefully opened the box, Cao Bin stepped forward to check.
Most of them are books, and the records are the handles of officials. In addition to officials from the nine counties of Jingxiang, there are also many officials from the central court.
There is another box containing jade seals, seals, royal robes and other items.
"Master, what you are looking for is here."
The sedan chair held a small box and said.
Cao Bin's expression changed, and he waved his hand: "Everyone, stand down!"
There was no way he would let Master Pang's background be exposed to the public.
After everyone exited the secret room, Cao Bin opened the chest-sized box.
After reading it, Cao Bin looked complicated.
He never thought that Pang Ji would have such a big leverage in the hands of King Xiangyang.
No wonder he held the position of Grand Master and dared not categorically reject King Xiangyang.
There was actually evidence that killed Queen Zhang and the prince.
The Queen Mother of the current dynasty was actually involved.
Thinking that the current emperor has no descendants, Cao Bin couldn't help but sigh.
Master Pang was so good at pretending that he didn't show any signs of being weird after talking about this issue several times.
There is only a covenant between three people to help each other, but the details are unknown.
Cao Bin knew that Master Pang's purpose was nothing more than to pave the way for himself and Concubine Pang.
He was not yet the Grand Master at that time and needed help from the Queen Mother and King Xiangyang.
What surprised him was the Queen Mother.
She had nothing to show for herself, so it was a bit unbelievable to assassinate the emperor like this.
After Cao Bin burned Taishi Pang's evidence, he left the evidence of the Queen Mother and collected it himself.
He was about to call someone, but suddenly he discovered that the small box actually had a mezzanine.
After opening the mezzanine, there is a prescription inside.
After he read it, he was surprised to find that both Taishi Pang and the Queen Mother had been set up by King Xiangyang.
That's a prescription for aphrodisiac.
After giving this medicine to the woman, as long as the man has some fertility, he will be able to conceive in ten months.
However, this medicine is too strong, and even if the woman becomes pregnant, the fetus will be stillborn.
Looking at it this way, even the queen was part of King Xiangyang's design.
"Who the hell can give Prince Xiangyang some wicked advice?"
After reading it, Cao Bin couldn't help but curse secretly.
This idea was too bad and would do great harm to Cao Bin. If the emperor knew about it, not to mention the Pang family, even Cao Bin would be implicated.
"Come here, take all these boxes out and seal them for me. No one is allowed to open them without permission!"
Cao Bin put away the prescription and walked out to give instructions as if nothing had happened.
These boxes are full of officials' clues, and Cao Bin's purpose of staying here is very simple, to prepare for the future!
At this time, the personal guard came to report: "I'm telling you, Yan Chasan has brought people here and wants to enter the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion."
When Cao Bin was in a bad mood, he said angrily: "How can the important place of the royal palace be entered by idlers? Let him get out..."
Before he finished speaking, another guard came and said:
"Uncle, the Xiangyang garrison has arrived, and they want to take over the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion."
"The leading general said that if uncle doesn't agree, he will attack with force!"
Cao Bin raised his brows, waved his hand and said, "He, who gave him the courage? Let's go and have a look with me."
When they arrived at the gate of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, they saw Lin Chong leading some of his personal guards to confront the Xiangyang garrison.
Yan Chasan was persuading them to return to the military camp, but they were surrounded by soldiers commanded by a general.
That general was one of the three generals recommended by King Xiangyang. When he saw Cao Bin coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Uncle Zhongjing, please leave the Xiangyang Palace immediately. This has violated the laws of the imperial court. Otherwise, the general will have no choice but to order an attack."
Yan Chasan said nervously: "Uncle Zhongjing, please put the overall situation first and don't fight in the city, lest you harm the people!"
Cao Bin ignored Yan Chasan, slapped the general with a big blow, and said angrily:
"Get out of here and take him down for me!"
