Zhang Cigong turned his head and looked outside the door.
Some of the people waiting outside who had not come in were wearing small black round iron armors, and some were wearing black official robes. What they had in common was that they looked cold and solemn.
Looking at the clothes, you can tell that they are from the Forbidden Army and the secret agent!
When Zhang Cigong saw Huo Qubing coming in, his first impression was that he had engaged in prostitution for free, and he didn't think it was serious. Behind him is Wei Qing, who is already in a prominent position.
He himself is also a lieutenant in the Northern Army, and the object of their free prostitution is still the princess Liu Ling.
If someone caught him doing something like this, he could be beheaded.
He traveled around the world in his early years and was used to wandering around. He didn't care about face at all.
At this time, I realized something was wrong.
He reached out and tucked up the half-length lining of his pants that felt a little leaky.
He reached out and wanted to put his arms around Huo Qubing's shoulders and say something private.
Huo Qubing keenly noticed suspicious wet marks on his hands and took a step back.
"What happened?" Zhang Cigong asked in a low voice.
The soldier talisman in Huo Qubing's consciousness lit up slightly, and the flying snake coiled on the soldier talisman suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a light golden halo.
Huo Qubing relied on Teng She's insight and vaguely sensed that Zhang Cigong really didn't know why he came.
This at least shows that he didn't do anything wrong and the situation is not as bad as it was.
Huo Qubing glanced at Liu Ling who was not far away.
Zhang Cigong understood deeply and whispered softly: "My relationship with Lady Liu Ling is the relationship you see. Apart from that, there is nothing else."
The voice lowered again: "Is the matter related to her?"
Liu Ling got over the initial panic and calmed down, and slowly went to the back of the bed to change clothes.
Song Ran and other women from the secret investigation followed closely.
Huo Qubing said to Zhang Cigong: "Your Majesty asked me to take over the Chang'an Guards. He didn't send anyone else to supervise him. He wanted to return to the Guards, so he allowed me to do it easily. I won't go into details about our relationship. I will try my best to help. you.
You should try to minimize your involvement with Liu Ling. "
Zhang Cigong showed a surprised expression, nodded slightly, glanced at Liu Ling reluctantly, and smacked his mouth.
"Let's go."
Huo Qubing left the room first, and the group quickly left the small courtyard and headed for Weiyang Palace.
The general command camp of the Chang'an Guards was set up at the north gate of Weiyang Palace.
In the hall, it was getting late.
The lotus-shaped bronze lamp hung in the air, its flames blazing, as bright as day, illuminating the faces of the people in the room.
When Huo Qubing came back, Cheng Bushi and Shi Jian had been found and were present on the left and right sides of the hall respectively.
Zhang Cigong accompanied the last one.
Huo Qubing took out the emperor's troop mobilization talisman: "Something happened in Chang'an. Your Majesty asked me to temporarily take over the guard army."
The expressions of the two old generals changed slightly, but no other changes could be seen.
After Song Ran and Xiao Ying sat down at Huo Qubing, they handed over a scroll containing information about Cheng Bushi, Shi Jian, and Zhang Cigong respectively. They were so detailed that whether they had birthmarks on their bodies or not, they had all been written down.
The secret detective's investigation pays no attention to privacy at all.
Huo Qubing asked Xiao Ying to take out pen and ink and a piece of rough paper, and then write and draw on it.
Song Ran and Xiao Ying glanced from the side and behind and found that the drawing was a military deduction map, which was being continuously improved. Judging from the terrain, it should involve some cities in Beiguan.
Huo Qubing was busy drawing military simulation diagrams.
The three men and one woman in the hall, Cheng Bushi, Shi Jian, Zhang Cigong and Liu Ling, each had their own concerns and remained silent.
Among the four, Liu Linggang was caught red-handed. After all, it was not a matter of honor. Her eyes were evasive. She was the most worried, so there must be something wrong with her.
The emperor's intention is to find out clearly whether there are any problems with the Chang'an Guard system and who has the problems.
"Your Majesty Liu Ling will stay, and uncle Zhang Cigong will stay. The other two old generals, please move to the nearby palace to wait. But you cannot leave. Your Majesty's orders are too offensive."
The two old generals didn't say a word, got up and followed the spy.
Huo Qubing's approach was very decisive.
After he finished drawing, he stopped, and the Soaring Snake Soldier Talisman flickered between his eyebrows, and he came to Liu Ling: "Please relax your mind, sir, and let me see what secrets you have in your heart!"
Liu Ling's face, whose bun was still slightly messy, changed.
"My lord, it's best if you can cooperate."
Liu Ling suddenly looked at Zhang Cigong: "You just let him humiliate me like this and let him see my thoughts. Aren't you afraid that he will know your ugly behavior?"
Zhang Cigong was thick-skinned and his expression was as usual: "Let Qu Bing see if there is any missing piece of meat. He is not an outsider."
"Don't even think about it! I want to see Your Majesty, Huo Qubing..."
"shut up!"
Liu Ling was startled. When he was slightly startled, his consciousness went dark. Teng She had forced his way into his brain.
Human consciousness is the strangest thing.
If the master does not cooperate, no matter how advanced the practice is, the things he can see will be limited.
But Huo Qubing's Soaring Snake Yuanshen has special characteristics, and Liu Ling's determination is not firm, and the secrets in his heart have nowhere to put it.
When Soaring Snake entered his consciousness, it was as if he had entered a strange and bizarre world, skimming through some scenes in Liu Ling's memory.
This princess is a sea queen with lovers all over Chang'an.
There were important things, but nothing that Huo Qubing wanted to know.
Liu Ling's cultivation is not high, but her sea of consciousness is protected by a strong force that makes it impossible for people to see through the real secrets of her consciousness.
Huo Qubing took back the snake and looked thoughtful.
The same method would not work against Cheng Bushi, Shi Jian, and Zhang Cigong.
They all have deep military training. If they deliberately deceive, no one will see the useful content.
It's because the person died and the consciousness was not dissipated during that time, so he had no ability to protect him.
Huo Qubing stopped. Liu Ling's face was pale and his breathing was heavy. He felt as if someone had stirred his head with a wooden stick and the pain was severe.
She sat in despair, panting, and her face became increasingly pale.
She had realized that the emperor must have allowed Huo Qubing to treat her like this.
And under what circumstances would the emperor allow someone to deal with a clan relative like this?
Liu Ling was immediately taken away alone and placed under control.
Huo Qubing turned around and picked up the picture he had just drawn, and handed it to Zhang Cigong: "Uncle Zhang Cigong. My uncle said that you and he have fought side by side for many years, and we are a life and death bond. And there are more than a dozen scars on your body, all from killing the Huns." of.
This time the matter is not small. I drew this military formation deduction diagram based on the city of Beiguan.
Some people want to cause chaos. I analyze that no matter how they act, without strong external support, they will not be able to cause a big chaos. This external force can only lure the Huns into Beiguan and disrupt our Han people.
Your Majesty has orders, and I cannot leave for the time being, but I have arranged for two groups of people to rush to Beiguan. My uncle also arranged for people to go to Beiguan.
There are several locations I marked on this picture. If something happens, it must be in these locations.
Uncle Zhang, you set out overnight. If you can make a contribution, the disaster in front of you may be avoided. If you can't, I will make a hard trip for you. It will always be beneficial. "
Huo Qubing must take responsibility for doing this. Zhang Cigong was deeply moved and stood up suddenly: "Don't worry, no matter what I do, I will never be so cunning as to harm the general. If something happens, I will risk my life not to let it happen." The Huns came in from Beiguan."
In a short while, Zhang Cigong rode out of the city, accompanied by only more than a hundred forbidden troops.
The rest of the troops are going to Beiguan and will be temporarily mobilized.
After he left, Huo Qubing sat in the hall with a deep look on his face, thinking over and over again what he would do if he was the secret person.
Song Ran reminded him on the side: "Huo Hou, didn't His Majesty promise to investigate this matter thoroughly? There are two old generals left, do you want to ask?"
Huo Qubing said calmly: "Even if there is a question, I can't ask anything. Moreover, if there is a question, it should be Shi Jian among the two, so there is no need to ask any more questions."
Song Ran and Xiao looked at each other, both looking thoughtful.
Unexpectedly, Song Ran couldn't help but ask: "Why is it Lang Zhongling? There is unlikely to be a problem with Lang Zhongling's position, otherwise..."
Otherwise it would be too serious.
Lang Zhongling is the highest military officer in Chang'an and one of the Nine Qings, and everyone knows Shi Jian's loyalty and bravery, so there can be no problem.
Huo Qubing sighed: "Among the people here, Zhang Cigong was newly appointed lieutenant of the Northern Army. Not long ago, he was taken to the battlefield to fight the Huns by my uncle. The rest of the time after he was promoted to lieutenant of the Northern Army, he was under the surveillance of secret intelligence.
Apart from being unethical, he has not done anything else that is derelict in his duties.
General Cheng didn't know that he was in charge of the Southern Army. If something happened, he could only control Changle Palace and deal with the clan's female relatives without causing any big trouble.
Therefore, if there is a problem, Lang Zhongling is the first choice, followed by the Northern Army, and finally the Southern Army. "
"And if someone secretly wanted to interfere with the Chang'an Guard, they would definitely not be able to directly influence and control the chief officer of the Guard, otherwise the former Lieutenant Liu Huai would not have died.
It doesn't make sense logically. The author couldn't have such strong influence and control ability. "
Huo Qubing continued: "The doctor's order, Shi Jian, actually has an obvious shortcoming. I have asked people to go to his house to check, and the servant said that his father Shi Fen has disappeared for half a month."
Song Ran and Xiao Ying suddenly understood.
In history, Shi Jian felt that he had not fulfilled his filial piety because of his father's death, and soon died of heartbreak.
Shi Jian's filial piety was known to many people in Chang'an.
At this time, Huo Qubing suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "The breath of Daozu's hand scroll appeared, and that person showed up."
The voice came from Liu Qing's master, Qin Qingyu, who was driven by Taoism through the air!
