The emperor left in a angrily manner.

However, Bai Shier's suggestion was finally adopted.

Born as a human being, you are often the age of a child and young, and you are the most "free and easy" in your behavior, because at the age of not having the word "responsibility", everything you want to do and don't want to do is completely in accordance with your original intention.

The older you are, the more responsibilities you shoulder, the more constraints you will have, and the more shackles you will have. If you want to do it casually, you will obviously not have that much courage.

As an emperor, although he looks like the most noble person in the world, who can really act willfully?

Even the First Emperor, who was known as the Emperor of Eternal Eternal, was still subject to many old ministers of Qin, such as the father Lu Buwei, and even his mother Zhao Ji.

Therefore, even though he was very dissatisfied with Bai Shier's "slapping people in the face" approach, he finally agreed to Bai Shier's suggestion and did not touch Xuanwu for the time being, and kept the other party as bait to attract the Ning Wang Mansion to take the bait.

However, in his heart, he had obviously written down a note on the "small notebook" for Bai Shier:

You, the boy, must want to ask for a marriage to Xianyou. Then, hum!

The emperor, who was thinking indignantly, did not notice it. He had gone from having been extremely disgusted with his sister Zhu Jinxuan and Bai Shier together, and wanted to take this as an opportunity to seize Bai Shier.

The subtle effect is indeed very terrible.

...

Hongdu Prefecture City.

Ning Prince's Mansion.

King Ning has been in a good mood recently.

Through the continuous coercion and inducement for several days, some people finally opened their mouths to those who were caught.

It is precisely because of the confessions of these people that he sent many guards and servants in the mansion to search for the fish that had escaped before using various excuses.

Although he heard that the officials in the city had reported impeachment from him, he didn't care.

As a royal family, if he had not had such experience in this impeachment in one year, the one in the Forbidden City in the capital would probably feel suspicious and even sent someone to investigate.

Since Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, he broke his promise and threw his lineage into the Hongdu Prefecture, the open and secret struggle between the two lineages has never stopped.

Therefore, after learning about the news that the officials impeached him, he not only did not mean to restrain himself, but instead became a little more severe.

According to the "regular process", the imperial edict of the person in the Forbidden City in the capital should take some time to deliver it. During the period before the imperial edict was delivered, he could naturally carry out more and more raids.

However, the spies selected by Xuanwu were really slick. Even if there were confessions from those arrested, there was still no gain in the past few days.

‘I guess they all have escaped from the city.’

However, the failure to find traces of those who escaped were not very important to King Ning. What is really important is the confession of those who were arrested.

...

A thousand-mile dike was destroyed in an ant hole.

With a gap, it will soon collapse in a solid line of defense.

The same is true for those arrested. When a person opened his mouth and revealed a secret for various reasons, even if it was simple, his own name would soon make the other person who was originally stubborn open his mouth, and then everything became extremely simple.

In just three or four days, the summary confession was presented to King Ning.

After reading these news at a glance, the original expectation in King Ning's heart disappeared in an instant.

"Haha, it's worthy of being separated from the North Pole Heaven. This Diting sounds like it's not much different from the Tianyan Sect. It's just that it's simplifying the manpower and only responsible for collecting news."

The reason why King Ning's desire quickly disappeared was also very simple. It sounded different, but after careful analysis, there was no big difference between the organizational structure between Beiji Tian and Tianyan Sect.

Even the people among them were like this. Among the few people they caught, many claimed that they were originally members of the North Pole Heaven, but were later selected by Xuanwu to Diting.

This undoubtedly disappointed King Ning, who originally wanted Li Daitao Zou to take advantage of his skills and take Di Ting to Xuanwu for his use.

The reality that the defeat of Tianyan Sect, especially Dongjitian and Zhongjitian, has completely destroyed, has made King Ning feel fundamentally suspicious of the operation mode of Tianyan Sect.

That's why he was so interested in Di Ting, which Xuanwu established.

However, on the other hand, the similar organizational structure between Diting and Tianyan Sect also made Ning Wang feel more confident in taking Diting from Xuanwu to use it for himself.

After all, this set of things was very familiar to him. After solving the only obstacle of Xuanwu, he could quickly get started and control Diting in his hands and quickly restore Diting's vitality.

He knew from the confessions of those arrested Diting people that over the years, Diting was completely a "milk job" that Xuanwu relied on the North Pole Heaven to obtain. Diting itself was a machine that used money to feed and produces intelligence.

As for money and money, Ning Wang Mansion, which has been rooted in Hongdu City for nearly a hundred years, is naturally not comparable to that of Xuanwu, the dog raised by Ning Wang Mansion.

Of course, the more important reason is that he saw the final record of the confession, the people who listened to the Diling who finally opened their mouths and vomited secrets, whether it was the highest-level "Tongyou" or the most ordinary "Walking", all expressed their willingness to surrender to him and serve him.

This undoubtedly shows that almost all of these people in Diting are the ones who are "a mother who has milk". As long as he can quickly solve the Xuanwu who now provides "milk" for Diting, then the whole Diting will immediately be cast into his hands.

Since you have understood Diting’s organizational structure and have clear about its nature, the rest will naturally be much simpler.

It was time for Xuanwu, the dog that wanted to be on the table and was on par with his master, jumped around for half a year. It was time to peel off the dog skin from his body.

...

In the middle of winter of the twelfth lunar month.

Due to the influence of the Little Ice Age, even Hongdu Prefecture, located south of the river, had already snowed in this coldest season of the year, and some small ponds had a layer of not too thin ice. As the weather became colder, it was now possible for those playful teenagers in the age of the horn to play on it.

It was during the coldest time of the year that Wu Jian, who was rushing all the way, took nearly a month to finally arrive under the gate of Hongdu Prefecture City.

Looking at the three words Hongdu Mansion above the city gate, Wu Jian couldn't help but take a deep breath, allowing the cold air around him to calm himself down.

Although he didn't take too long to go along the way, he did not encounter any dangers or emergencies. He rushed to Hongdu Prefecture smoothly, but after entering Hongdu Prefecture, he realized that the situation was far worse than he had thought before.

He originally wanted to use the token and secret letters given to him by Xuanwu before leaving Tianjin. Before entering Hongdu Prefecture, he met with the deputy lord who escaped from the Ning Prince's Mansion by Diting Liangjiang Hall and met with him. He learned about the specific situation from the other party so that he could prepare to enter Hongdu Prefecture again, and then try to connect with Ning Prince's Mansion to try whether he could enter Ning Prince's Mansion or even meet Ning Prince himself.

But after entering Hongdu Prefecture, he went to three county towns, one town, and even a small village according to the five addresses provided by Xuanwu before. However, the scene he saw was either empty or had already changed his appearance.

Among them, if it weren't for the fact that the three county towns he had checked before, he had already noticed something was wrong in his heart, so he was wary of being caught up with him, who would have been noticed by an enemy who was obviously waiting for the rabbit.

In the end, no one was ambushed at the stronghold in the small village, but as I heard from the surrounding neighbors, I clearly understood that the people in Liangjiangtang had disappeared almost a month ago, before he set out from Tianjin.

The situation is much worse than what he learned from Xuanwu at the beginning.

Without the assistance of Liangjiangtang, Wu Jian was almost completely disgusted.

As for the Jinyiwei, the people from the Dongchang and Liushemen.

Not to mention that the people in these three yamen still do not know his existence, as well as the relationship between him and Bai Shier and their yamen, even if they know, Wu Jian would not dare to contact them.

After all, judging from the fact that Liangjiangtang disappeared directly, the power of the Ning Prince's Mansion in Hongdu Mansion is obvious, so who can guarantee that when he contacted the people from these three major yamen, would he be seen by the Ning Prince's Mansion's eyeliner?

Even if not, will he investigate these situations when he went to Ning Wang Mansion to come to see him?

After all, having money can make the devil push. With the power and financial resources of the Ning Prince's Mansion, it is not easy to buy those nearby people.

Therefore, in the end, Wu Jian had to bite the bullet and entered the city without looking at the current situation in Hongdu Prefecture.

Although he encountered walls outside the city one after another, after entering the city, Wu Jian still had someone to ask for help.

He Wu, the seven elders of the Diancang Sect.

According to what Bai Shier said before he left, if nothing unexpected happens, He Wu will definitely be in Hongdu Prefecture.

Although there should be many eyeliners in the Ning Palace around him, with He Wu's martial arts and the strength of many second-generation disciples of the Dian Cang Sect, as well as the relationship between the Dian Cang Sect and the former Nanxin County and the current Hongdu Prefecture Huang Xiangfu, the people in the Ning Palace dare not be too arrogant, so they still have the opportunity to avoid the eyeliners of the Ning Palace and meet him.

However, when Wu Jian learned about the current situation of the Diancang Sect in Hongdu Prefecture from the pedestrians, he took the initiative to restrain his thoughts.

It was not because he looked down on the Diancang Sect's forces in the city and felt that the other party could not provide him with any help. On the contrary, it was precisely because the Diancang Sect's forces in the city were too prosperous that he retreated.

Huang Xiangfu, who was promoted to the prefect of Hongdu, was backed by the Diancang Sect, and the experience of the Diancang Sect sect scrambling to send their nephews to the Diancang Sect. Now the Diancang Sect is "famous" in Hongdu City.

If Wu Jian is just asking for help, then this kind of situation will naturally be unsuccessful. But for Wu Jian, who does not want to be seen by anyone, with many eyes, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will see and remember his appearance.

At that time, if the Ning Prince's Mansion investigates him, it will inevitably lead to no traces, and the plan will be broken.

So, after taking a look at the clan branch of the Cang Sect from a distance, he just found a small shop selling soup cakes nearby, sat down and ordered a bowl of soup cakes, and then turned around and left.

...

When Wu Jian arrived at Hongdu Prefecture City, he set out with him, but the five people who set out from Hongdu Prefecture City also happened to arrive in the capital.

And this group of five people are naturally the dead soldiers sent by King Ning.

For the Ning kings of all dynasties who were determined to regain everything belonging to the Ning King lineage, it is naturally necessary to raise dead soldiers.

After King Ning made the decision to get rid of Xuanwu, the disobedient dog, the dead soldier who had been raising for many years was naturally his first choice.

Although it seems that using the dead men raised in his mansion to assassinate Xuanwu is a bit stupid, after all, there are so many assassins in the world, and you only need to spend some money to hire many people with great strength, which is both fast and safe.

But in fact, this is a paradox.

In this case, it is actually the safest and safest way to let the dead soldiers you raise go out.

It seems that it is very safe to spend money to hire killers and assassins, but if these killers fail and are unfortunately captured, they will eventually be able to find him along the trail.

No matter how many intermediaries you change, how many seemingly rigorous procedures you go through.

No matter how careful you are, no matter what, as long as someone participates in it, you will still leave a trace.

Although the Dead Soldier seems very unsafe at first glance, he is very likely to expose his identity. After all, there is no "buffer" in the middle, and he can be directly involved from the Dead Soldier.

But the name of the Dead Soldier, the Dead Soldier, is not randomly mentioned.

Compared with those hired killers and assassins, those who have been employed have been kept for many years, and the loyal dead soldiers have only two consequences: success and death.

Therefore, even if it fails, only a few corpses will be left behind.

Without any evidence to point to the Ning Prince's Mansion, what can I do if someone guesses it?

Of course, for all this consideration, King Ning thought about the people sent to assassinate by the government before the assassination. As for Xuanwu, the real object to assassination, no matter who he sent, there was no difference.

After all, at this moment, if Xuanwu had luckily escaped from the assassination, he would obviously be the only one who doubted him.
