Zhuge Xianyu handed the letter to the two of them.

There is only one sentence on it, there are unidentified people, and a suspicious gathering will be held at Shenlong Temple tonight. The signature says Shen Shiyi.

Shen Shiyi is the secret guard of the Dengwen Department.

There are thirty-six secret guards in the Dengwen Division. Each secret guard only has a surname and number, but no name.

The higher the ranking, the higher the status among the secret guards.

As their positions are adjusted, their numbers are also changing.

What everyone remembers is only the code name, not the person.

This arrangement is similar to the Twelve Swords of Yeyu Tower.

I don’t know if Zhuge Xianyu copied Ye Yulou’s approach in arranging it this way.

Of course, it's not considered plagiarism, just a tribute.

Li Baniang is also one of the secret guards, codenamed Li Si.

Fan Xiaodao took a look and said: "Sir, you arranged for us to secretly protect His Majesty tomorrow. We don't need to be involved in this kind of thing. Besides, shouldn't illegal gatherings be under the control of Jinyi Guards? Tell us about it.

It doesn’t matter, right?”

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Jin Yiwei has other arrangements."

Any other arrangements?

Only then did Fan Xiaodao notice that at this His Majesty's birthday ceremony, there was no trace of the Jin Yiwei in either the travel route or the ceremony to worship the heaven.

You know, among the three major organizations in the capital, in terms of lawlessness and ruthlessness, Dongchang ranks second, and no one dares to claim the first place. But in terms of combat force value, those people in Dongchang are simply not enough to show that they are the only one with combat effectiveness.

Lin Yuan, who was punched by Fan Xiaodao, is still unable to get out of bed. Among the Jinyi Guards, there are many masters. At that time, Xue Yingxiong absorbed several famous masters in the world and was supported by high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

The most famous ones should be the twelve worshipers under Murong Tiechui.

Among them are many masters from well-known sects such as Shaolin and Wudang, as well as many masters from the demon sect who were accepted in the past. It is said that even Li Juefei dared not guarantee a sure victory when the twelve worshipers joined forces.

It is only right that His Majesty leave the palace security to them.

Any other arrangements?

What arrangement?

Not long ago, there were rumors in the palace that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with Xue Yingxiong recently, and this time he disappeared.

Can't help but make people suspicious.

Thinking about it this way, after Eunuch Lu of Dongchang came to power, Jin Yiwei's presence in the capital became extremely low.

Xue Yingxiong claimed to be ill at home, and Murong Tiechui rarely showed up. Even the sales of prosthetics, crutches, and stretchers at the gate of the prison became deserted.

There are various signs that Jin Yiwei has lost power.

And it was so completely lost.

And the reason is just because Xue Yingxiong and His Highness the Prince are too close.

But it shouldn't be.

Xue Yingxiong is a veteran minister, and his mother is His Majesty's wet nurse. The two grew up together, and he also watched Prince Zhu Yan grow up. Isn't it right to be close to him?

The two of them were full of doubts.

Zhuge Xianyu didn't explain either.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Don't the Denwen Division have secret guards?"

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Yes, otherwise why would I have given you the Dengwen Order?"

Fan Xiaodao was stunned, "You mean... we are also secret guards? Then I am Fan Yi and he is Zhao Er?"

Zhuge Xianyu shook his head, "No, I am Zhuge Yi, you are Fan Er, and he is Zhao San!"

Fan Er?

family?

Fan Xiaodao was very dissatisfied with this name, but Zhuge Yi did not give him a chance to defend himself, and sent the two of them to the Shenlong Temple with just one sentence.

There are thirty-six temples and seventy-two Taoist temples in the capital.

Among them, the Shenlong Temple is not conspicuous and is located in Dongjiaomin Lane.

As the name suggests, the Dragon Temple is dedicated to the dragon. It is said that this dragon and the dragon in the Suolongjing are twins, but it is so long ago that there is no way to verify them.

Most of the embassies of various countries are located here, so people rarely come here on weekdays. The incense in Shenlong Temple is also very bleak. It is said that it relies on the support of several embassies from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Goryeo to barely survive. It is said that here

Another reason why incense doesn’t work is: it’s not effective!

In the profession of gods, the involution is quite severe.

Whoever is effective will be trusted by the people.

If it doesn’t work, then who is willing to patronize it?

So, let me introduce you to a temple. It’s super ineffective. You should go and pay homage when you have time!

Unless there is deep hatred, who would go there to worship in the temple?

The two came to the vicinity of Shenlong Temple.

I never would have thought that someone would set the venue for the gathering here. You know, near the embassy, ​​there are usually more secret sentries, Dongchang fans, and Jinyiwei than pedestrians. Sometimes the old lady buying tea eggs at the door is crazy.

, most likely they are all from Dongchang.

Here, it takes a long time to verify whether a passing fly is male or female.

They set the location at Shenlong Temple, I can really imagine it.

There is no curfew tonight, and many streets in the capital are bustling with activity, except here.

After all, missions from various countries are here, and basic security guarantees are still necessary.

A group of patrolling officers and soldiers met the two men and checked their identities. After seeing the order, they stopped interfering.

The Shenlong Temple is not big, with one main hall, two side halls, and a backyard. It covers an area of ​​only three or four acres, and is no bigger than a three-entry courtyard.

The door is closed.

There were three or four monks guarding the door.

There were lights in the yard, and faint voices could be heard whispering.

The courtyard wall is more than one foot high.

This didn't bother him, but the two of them were too conspicuous, and the situation inside was unknown. It was not wise to rush over the wall without knowing the situation.

The two of them walked around the temple and saw an ancient locust tree not far away with lush branches and leaves. It was late autumn and the leaves had not yet fallen out. The two of them climbed up the tree and looked around. They had a clear view of the courtyard.

.

There were thirty or forty men, dressed in black, with masks on their faces, and hats on their heads, standing upright in the middle of the courtyard, very solemn.

In front of the temple is a brazier with a token on it, which emits a dark red light under the burning flames.

A man in black with a mask on his head came out of the hall, with a red flame embroidered on his chest. Behind him were two thin middle-aged men, one black and one white, who came to the courtyard. As soon as he appeared, three people in the courtyard

Forty people, with their hands folded on their chests, knelt down on one knee and bowed to the masked man.

Everyone whispered: "Greetings to the Lord Yinshi!"

The voice is very low, as loud as a mosquito, but very neat.

Everyone seemed to be speaking in lowered voices, which seemed a little weird.

After Fan and Zhao traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, their martial arts improved greatly. Although they were separated by dozens of feet, the sound could still reach their ears.

Hidden messenger?

Demonic Cult?

Fan Xiaodao was shocked. He didn't expect that one of Shen Shiyi's information would actually involve someone from the Demon Cult? You know, in a battle between good and evil twenty years ago, the Demon Cult had already been torn apart, falling apart, and Yi Zhi Hua was imprisoned.

, the rest of them were dead, disabled, and completely incapable of making waves.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, they would come out to cause trouble again?

The Demon Cult has left and right hidden envoys, and the left and right envoys are none other than Mr. Qu Er, who worked for Taiping back then. The right and left envoys have not shown up yet.

However, Mr. Qu Er was entangled by Uncle Hu during the battle at Qingmen Peak, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

So the person in front of me should be You Yinshi, right?

Looking at the two people behind him, Fan Xiaodao was shocked. He knew both of them.

The one on the left is the ghost king who wanted to assassinate the prince not long ago.

What really surprised him was that the person standing on the right turned out to be an old acquaintance!

Xu Ting, Governor of Jiangsu!

Xu Miaozi's father, the prince's prospective father-in-law, and the emperor's future in-laws!
