In the days that followed, everything went as Guo Zhu had imagined, and Emperor Zhengde began to weaken Zhu Yilan.
First, they cut the funding of Hulong Villa and suppressed Zhu Wuwu everywhere in the court. The tool for suppressing him was the tool man Eunuch Cao.
Some ministers wanted to admonish, but they were demoted and chopped down by Emperor Zhengde. Suddenly, there was a roar of wind and cranes in the court, blood flowed like a river, and an undercurrent surged in the court.
Hulong Villa.
Zhu Wuwu recalled Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang early.
According to the reports of three people.
Duan Tianya did not go to the Iga Dojo to learn ninjutsu because the Iga Dojo had been destroyed. Now in the Japanese martial arts world, the Yagyu family and the Koga faction are competing. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. At present, it seems that the Yagyu family has the upper hand. Although Duan Tianya did not learn the ninjutsu from the Iga dojo, he met a jounin by chance and became his teacher, so he learned the ninjutsu.
Gui Hai's sword, but before he learned the ruthless slash, Ba Dao died.
The same goes for Shangguan Haitang.
And both of them were killed by the same person.
Zhu ignored his suspicion and believed that those who killed them were Cao Zhengchun's people. That's why Cao Zhengchun tried to stop him when he wanted to hunt him down. But he didn't know where Cao Zhengchun found such a master for him and how much money he spent. What a price.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuwu glanced at the three secret agents he had trained, and sighed in his heart, time waits for no man! If you give me a few more years to train these people well, as well as the secret Thirty-six Tiangang and Seventy-two Earthly Evils, what can Cao Zhengchun do to fight me?
Zhu Wulan looked at the three of them solemnly and said slowly: "Recently, Cao Zhengchun didn't know what method he used to trick the Holy One into agreeing to cut the funding of my Dragon Guard Villa. At the same time, he also suppressed me in the court and killed me. Many loyal ministers”
The three people were filled with indignation.
"You three were carefully selected by me from thousands of people. I originally wanted you three to study for a period of time, but now it's too late. You will now accept the position of Ouchi secret agent. You Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid!" the three of them said in unison.
"Okay!" Zhu ignored and clapped his hands in praise.
"Tianya!" Zhu Wuying shouted.
Duan Tianya knelt down on one knee and said, "The child is here!"
"You are now appointed to be the No. 1 secret agent in the Tianzi of Hulongshan Villa. Your first task is to monitor Dongchang and Cao Zhengchun. If there is any change, report to me immediately. There must be no mistakes." Zhu Wuwu took something from his arms. The white jade was made into a jade plate engraved with the word "天" and solemnly handed it to Duan Tianya.
"Yes! Foster father."
"Well, back off."
After Duan Tianya retreated, Zhu Wuwu took out a jade plaque made of ink jade with the word "地" and handed it to Gui Hai Yida, and ordered: "Yida, you and Haitang have both seen the murderous maniac in the world, but Haitang My martial arts skills are not as good as yours, so I can only leave this matter to you."
"Please give me your orders, Lord Shen!" Gui Hai said in a deep voice with a knife.
"The murderous maniac has now appeared in the world again. I have contacted the Ghost Slayer Alliance formed by the eight major sects. Your mission is to work with the Ghost Slayer Alliance to eliminate demons and ghosts, and restore a peaceful world to the world."
"Someone will give you the specific content, so please step back."
"Yes!" Gui Hai withdrew coldly without saying anything.
At this time, only Zhu Wuwu and Shangguan Haitang were left in the main hall of Hulong Villa.
"Haitang, did you become sworn friends some time ago?"
Shangguan Haitang originally thought that Zhu Wuwu would arrange tasks for her, but she didn't expect that Zhu Wuwu would ask this question.
Shangguan Haitang, who felt guilty, quickly knelt down and defended: "Yes, I have wanted to report this to my adoptive father for a long time, but I don't know how to talk about it."
Zhu Wuwu smiled, helped Shangguan Haitang up and said, "Is it because I said that when you are a secret agent, you should not have too many personal emotions?"
"Haitang, you are different from Tianya and Yidao. After all, you are a girl. Your adoptive father has no children. You are his daughter. His adoptive father still hopes that you can find a good home."
Shangguan Haitang was helped up and said: "Father, I only have brotherhood with him, and there is no personal relationship between children."
"I know, I know." Zhu Wuwu comforted Shangguan Haitang and said, "Do you know who your sworn brother is?"
Without waiting for Shangguan Haitang to answer, Zhu Wuwu continued: "His real name is Wan Sanjin, and his pseudonym is Guo Zhu. He is Wan Sanqian's only and most beloved younger brother."
"Thirteen thousand, the younger brother of a great official?" Shangguan Haitang asked in surprise.
Everything before was recalled. Guo Zhu said that he had an eldest brother in his family. Ten thousand taels was pocket money, and he spent money like water like ten thousand taels. He turned out to be a biological brother.
"Not bad." Zhu Wulan nodded, took out a jade plaque made of sapphire with the word "Xuan" engraved on it from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Haitang.
"Now that the emperor has reduced the funding for Hulong Villa, I need you to discuss with Wan Sanqian on my behalf to temporarily fund my Hulong Villa."
"Wan Sanqian's whereabouts are uncertain. His brother, your sworn brother, is easy to find. You can find Wan Sanqian through him."
"This..." Shangguan Haitang hesitated.
"What?" Zhu Wulan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm letting you take advantage of your sworn brother?"
"Don't think too much, their family are all businessmen, and businessmen value profits. This is just a business, and I will give them generous rewards."
"Haitang understands!" Shangguan Haitang no longer hesitated.
After the three people left, Zhu ignored a person and looked into the distance with deep eyes.
He always felt that this suppression was not like Cao Zhengchun's mastermind, but like Zhengde's intention to suppress him.
The secret affairs of the top ten generals in the border areas have been discovered. Five generals have been found out soon... soon.
…
Shangguan Haitang was very fast and immediately found Guo Zhu's residence without Guo Zhu hiding his whereabouts.
There is no need for Guo Zhu to hide his whereabouts. After all, I, Guo Zhu, can sit upright and kill all the eight major sects because of evil spirits. What does it have to do with me, Guo Zhu?
Everyone in the world calls Guo Zhu's hidden identity "Evil Ghost", which is probably a nickname.
The only people who know Guo Zhu's identity are Wan Sanqian, Yagyu Xueji, servant Ada, and Shangguan Haitang before he lost his memory.
Except for Shangguan Haitang, Guo Zhu was confident that none of these people would betray him.
"Master! A Shangguan gentleman came outside the door and said he was your friend." The concierge and Guo Zhu reported.
Guo Zhuzheng was talking to Yanagyu Xueji. When he heard this, he knew that his first level identity in front of Shangguan Haitang was exposed, and said: "He is indeed my friend, you take him... forget it, I will pick him up. "
After the concierge left, Guo Zhu smiled and said from Yagyu Yuki: "Let's meet together?"
Yangyu Xueji rolled her eyes at him. She knew that Shangguan Haitang was a girl, and Guo Zhu had confessed to her a long time ago, and said: "You were flirting with women outside, but now everyone has come home."
"You can't say anything nonsense. It's brother who likes her, and I'm just using her. If brother hadn't begged for mercy that day, I almost killed her." Guo Zhu denied it. This was something he could admit. It would kill someone.
"Hmph." Yagyu Yuki snorted coldly: "Who knows?"
"Does she even know my true identity? You know it, don't tell me." Guo Zhu said.
"Forget it, forget it, you deceived me into the Central Plains, it's an advantage for you." Yagyu Yukihime thought the same thing. She knew that Guo Zhu was the evil spirit who destroyed the Iga sect and challenged the eight major sects. She even touched it What about that mask?
"Hey hey hey."
"Let's go quickly. Don't keep the guests waiting. It would be rude." Yukihime Yagyu instantly entered the posture of the hostess.
…
"Hahaha."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Shangguan Haitang knew that it was Guo Zhu who came out, so he turned around and saw Guo Zhu leading a woman in white out the door.
"Brother Shangguan Xian, you miss me so much." Guo Zhu laughed and said, opening his arms to give Shangguan Haitang a bear hug.
But he suddenly felt a thrill, where was it so cold?
From the corner of Guo Zhu's eyes, he saw Yagyu Yuki's half-smiling face, and he immediately realized that he had learned from his eldest brother about giving a bear hug when he saw her, but he made a mistake.
After reacting, Guo Zhuhua turned his hug into a pat on the shoulder, patted Shangguan Haitang twice on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Shangguan Xian, come here, let me introduce you."
"This is Xue Ji."
"This is Shangguanhai."
Both women looked at each other.
It was only then that Shangguan Haitang saw Yagyu Xueji's appearance. She had creamy skin, a small cherry mouth, and a tall figure. Her softness could be remembered just by wearing white clothes. She was so beautiful that Shangguan Haitang was stunned for a moment.
Yagyu Yukiji was still somewhat wary of Shangguan Haitang, but looking at Shangguan Haitang's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. This smile was like a snow lotus blooming, pure and beautiful.
Only then did Shangguan Haitang realize that he had lost his composure, and he was still dressed as a man. He lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I have lost my composure. Madam, please forgive me."
Guo Zhu pretended to be generous and said: "It's okay, brother Xian, I believe in your character. Xue Ji's appearance is what normal men will do."
"Let's go in first."
"Thank you, brother."
After the three of them entered, Guo Zhu and Shangguan Haitang confessed their identities to each other.
"I didn't expect that my eldest brother is the brother of thirty million high-ranking officials. No wonder he spends so generously." Shangguan Haitang sighed.
"I walk around the world, and I don't want to be said to be relying on my elder brother's financial resources. People who know my identity will scold me. Don't you just have some bad money?" Guo Zhu said hypocritically. In fact, he especially likes to hear people scold him. , you just have some bad money, why are you so proud?
Shangguan Haitang expressed his understanding, "Yes, I want to prove my abilities just like my eldest brother."
Guo Zhu nodded, then changed his tone and said, "Actually, it's an accident that we are brothers. I didn't expect that Shangguan Haitang is the adopted son of Lord Tietan."
"What an adopted son, an adopted daughter is more or less the same." At this time, Yukihime Yagyu next to her said.
"What kind of adopted daughter? Madam-in-law is joking." Shangguan Haitang quickly denied.
Yagyu Yukiji chuckled and walked to Shangguan Haitang, took her hand and said: "Sister, you can fool these ugly men, but you can't fool me. You are a girl, right? I have also dressed up as a man before. .”
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Shangguan Haitang smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, you really have good eyesight. I don't know how Haitang found out."
"My daughter's body is all scented." Yagyu Yukiji leaned into Shangguan Haitang's ear and whispered: "And the way you looked at me just now is not at all like a man looking at a beautiful woman."
Yukihime Yagyu stood up and said with a smile: "When your elder brother saw me for the first time, although he concealed it well, he still wanted to eat me."
"Brother is so lucky to have a sister-in-law by his side." Shangguan Haitang said.
"This... Brother Haitang is really his daughter..." Guo Zhu pretended to be in disbelief.
Yagyu Yuki: If I hadn’t known that you told me that Shangguan Haitang was a woman, I would have truly believed your acting skills. You are so good at deceiving people.
Shangguan Haitang cupped his hands in embarrassment and said, "It's more convenient to travel around the world. Don't blame me, brother."
Shangguan Haitang was so embarrassed at this time that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. As soon as he confessed, he was revealed to be a daughter, and another layer of vest fell off.
"Oh, I understand. Haitang...uh" Guo Zhu was stunned.
"Just call me Haitang." Shangguan Haitang said.
Guo Zhu Congshan Ruliu said: "Haitang, I'm afraid you didn't come here just to see me today, are you okay?"
Shangguan Haitang's expression suddenly became serious and he said, "That's it. Cao Zhengchun has slandered the emperor. Now the emperor has reduced the funding for Hulong Villa, and the adoptive father wants to ask thousands of officials for help."
"Oh, this matter is easy to handle." Guo Zhu agreed.
? ? ?
After agreeing, Shangguan Haitang was confused.
She thought she would have to spend a lot of time trying to persuade her...but she agreed directly.
"Stay for dinner tonight."
"Oh, okay"
The confused Shangguan Haitang agreed.
