"Maybe." Tantai Xuanye frowned slightly and said, "I only thought he was the most ordinary person, but later I slowly discovered that he is actually someone I can't control."

The saint smiled calmly and said, "Is it difficult to control?"

"Everything he does is unexpected." Tantai Xuanye said: "Many people thought that he would go to the Northeast and return to Beijing in embarrassment soon. Who would have thought that he would open up such a situation in the Northeast?

.”

"Are you afraid that he will have financial resources and strengthen the Long Rui Army, which will hinder your plan?"

Tantai Xuanye stared at the saint and said seriously: "Yes. Many years ago, I made a plan for the Tang Dynasty to go north. If nothing happens, it should be marching from three sides and divided into six routes. The main force of the Tang army gathered in the four towns in the north.

, marching from the fourth town, the goal is to go straight to Monan. The other two groups are to outflank from the east and west wings, with soldiers and horses all the way from Xiling, and soldiers and horses all the way from the northeast. The Xiling army breaks through to the west of Mo, while the Liaodong army breaks through to the east of Mo.

The Lu army gathered in Monan, swept across the Monan grassland, and killed all of Duer's army."

"The fall of Xiling will disrupt your plan." The saint was shocked, but his face was calm.

She had a deep understanding of people's hearts and had a deep understanding of human nature, but now she realized that the man she was sharing the bed with had been hiding from her for ten years, and she had never seen through his mind.

The face of the man in front of me is sharp and angular, masculine yet heroic, and even has an aura of righteousness.

But underneath this handsome face, there is actually a crazy heart for revenge.

Tantai Xuanye smiled and said: "No matter how perfect the plan is, there will eventually be changes. If everything can develop according to my vision, it would be unbelievable. In fact, I never thought that the two wing soldiers and horses could really meet up with the main force.

In Monan, I am very satisfied that they can contain the grassland tribes on both sides." After a slight pause, he said: "With the loss of Xiling, the soldiers and horses along this route will naturally no longer exist, but the tribes in Moxi have always been with Monan.

Otherwise, even if the Tang Dynasty goes north to attack Monan, the tribes in Moxi will not send troops to reinforce it."

"There was no battle report a while ago. The tribes of Xile in Modong and the Tusun people were fighting each other." The saint said slowly: "In this case, if Monan is attacked, the tribes of Modong will naturally not send troops to support.

Then there is no need for the soldiers and horses in the Northeast to contain the tribes in Modong." He sat back on his chair and said calmly: "You are worried about Qin Xiao because you are worried that if he takes control of the Northeast, he will not cooperate from the Northeast.

Sending troops, since the Northeast route is dispensable and will not affect the overall situation, why should you be afraid of him?"

Tantai Xuanye shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. I'm not worried that he will resist the order and refuse to send troops, but I'm just worried that he will hinder the Tang army from moving north."

"Can he stop you?"

Tantai Xuanye cast his gaze out the window in the distance, silently, and murmured: "I don't know. It is precisely because I don't know that I am afraid of him." He put the official letter in his hand on the table, and if there was any

Thoughts.

The saint glanced at the official letter and said calmly: "Qin Xiao is just a newborn calf. Compared with Du'erhu Tiehan, he is far behind in terms of strength and skill. Tantai Xuanye, you are afraid of Qin Xiao, what qualifications do you have to challenge him?

Tie Han?"

Tantai Xuanye was startled, then smiled and said: "That's what the saint said." He picked up the official letter and said: "Qin Xiao wants financial rights, so I will give him financial rights. At least now he can only focus on Wang Xingchao.

He was unable to take care of the border area, and perhaps by the time he overthrew Wang Xingchao, Monan would have become the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Qin Xiao's current energy is not on Wang Xingchao, but on Xing'anmen.

Xing'an Gate is the dirty gate of the imperial city. It is open for two hours every night from midnight to Yin Shi, and all the toilets in the palace are transported out by the cleaning supervisor for treatment.

Qin Xiao sneaked into the palace to have a private meeting with She Yue. At that time, he entered the palace from Xing'anmen under the arrangement of his eldest grandson Meier.

In the blink of an eye, it was already half a year ago.

For three consecutive days, he was observing the movements of Xing'anmen.

Killing Lu Junzhong is certainly not the only purpose of Qin Xiao's return to Beijing. For him, the more important thing is to find out what happened in the palace and whether everything is safe for Princess Sheyue.

Although several days had passed since Lu Junzhong, an official of the Ministry of Punishment, was assassinated, the Ministry of Punishment blocked the news and did not let the news of Lu Junzhong's death spread in Kyoto.

Qin Xiao knew that Zhu Dongshan must be making arrangements.

The murder of Lu Junzhong naturally caused a great shock to the Ministry of Punishment. Even if Zhu Dongshan stabilized the situation, once the incident spread, there would inevitably be waves in the government and the public. If the incident happened suddenly, even the officers of the Ministry of Punishment would fall into panic.

.

The Ministry of Punishments knew from top to bottom that they were hated by all the bureaucracies in the DPRK. Without Lu Junzhong, there was no leader. Once the officials and servants of the Ministry of Punishments fell into panic, it was likely to bring opportunities to the enemy, so Zhu Dongshan and other senior officials naturally tried their best to

Block messages.

Qin Xiao had no intention of taking care of the punishment department anymore.

Now he just wants to find an opportunity to sneak into the palace first.

If it was half a year ago, even if he had this intention, he would not dare to act rashly.

After all, he was only a fourth-level practitioner at that time. If he sneaked into the palace, if he was not careful, he would be in trouble. If his whereabouts were discovered in the Tang Dynasty Palace, it would be difficult to escape intact.

However, with his current sixth-level cultivation, he can sense the movements around him extremely keenly. Even if he fails to enter the palace this time, it shouldn't be difficult to escape unscathed.

I have been planning to enter the palace for the past few days, but the biggest problem is that the Tang Palace is too vast. Without a guide, it is easy to get lost once you get stuck in the palace.

Qin Xiao entered the palace many times, but every time he was led by eunuchs, and what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the palace.

What he remembered most clearly was the road leading to the imperial study, and the other was the road that entered the palace from Xing'an Gate and turned east and west to the Pearl Mirror Hall.

This was the path that eldest son Meier took when she arranged for someone from the Palace Supervisor to help her enter the palace to meet She Yue.

Qin Xiao knew that if he wanted to avoid getting lost after entering the palace, it was best to follow these two routes. However, the first route was definitely not available. To go to the Imperial Study Room, he took the bright and upright avenue in the palace, and he did not know how to use it.

He knows the art of invisibility, otherwise he would enter the palace in full view of the public.

The only way to enter the palace is through Xing'an Gate.

Xing'an Gate is a dirty gate, located in the northwest corner of the Imperial City. Qin Xiao has also carefully observed that in addition to the guards who are always guarding the Imperial City like wooden stakes, there are also patrol teams patrolling back and forth at the top of the city.

There were not many patrols during the day, but as soon as it got dark, the number of patrols became more frequent. Even in the corners of the city wall above Xing'an Gate, there would be patrols approaching, but he could figure it out clearly after careful observation for three consecutive nights.

The rules of patrolling.

There were frequent patrols in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, the number of patrols coming and going was significantly reduced. Especially during the period of Yinshi, there was a safe period of at least half a stick of incense. During this period, the patrols would not be in the city.

The corner appeared, and the guards at the city head closest to the Xing'anmen city seemed to think that Xing'an Gate was too unlucky and did not get close. It was at least a hundred meters away. With Qin Xiao's skills, he could do it quietly.

Without being discovered by the other party.

The convoy of the Cleaning Supervisor had already entered Xing'an Gate before Yinshi, and Xing'an Gate was closed as always.

Qin Xiao knew that when Xing'an Gate was closed, it was already the time of entering Yin. He did not act rashly, but looked up at the city head above Xing'an Gate. After a short while, he saw two torches raised high, heading towards the city from the bottom of the city.

Looking up, you can't actually see the figures of the guards, but you can judge the number of the other party from the guards' towering spear points.

He has figured out that after this patrol left this time, the next time it appeared would be at least after half a stick of incense. This was also the longest interval overnight. When he saw that the patrol at the top of the city had turned around, Qin Xiao

Without further delay, he quickly approached Xing'an Gate with a charming figure and a short body.

There was darkness between heaven and earth. Qin Xiao ran to Xing'an Gate and breathed a sigh of relief. However, his body suddenly shook and he found that on the road he had just come, a black shadow followed him like a ghost.

That man was also wearing night clothes. Qin Xiao's eyesight was amazing, and he naturally recognized the figure from the outline of the man. It was Hongye who followed him.

"Why are you here?" Hongye came closer and stood against the wall. Qin Xiao asked anxiously: "Who asked you to come?"

Hong Ye is a martial arts practitioner with an undulating figure, and a pair of beautiful legs that are long and well-proportioned. The night-walking clothes wrap around the strong and delicate body that contains strength like a female leopard, making the curves even more charming, especially against the slender waist and hips.

The curves are plump and full of texture.

"What a devil." Hongye covered his mouth and nose, only a pair of beautiful eyes were exposed, but at this time, his eyes were clearly full of resentment, and he said angrily: "If you really die in there, I will help you clean up."

Qin Xiao heard her tone full of reluctance, vaguely understood what she was talking about, and chuckled: "Sister Hongye, you...were you forced to come here?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Hongye said: "I advise you one last time. There must have been a big change in the palace. Those people can control the palace quietly, and their strength is definitely not weak. Maybe... they have long been

I expected that someone would sneak into the palace to inquire for information, so I must have set up a dragnet. If there are ambushes everywhere, I absolutely believe it, so do you still want to go in? "

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. It won't turn into a turtle with its head turned into a turtle when things get worse."

"I would rather you were a turtle at this time."

Seeing that she was obviously suppressing her anger, Qin Xiao couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, sister, I'll let you see my turtle when I get the chance...!"

"What?" Hongye didn't hear clearly for a moment, and maybe he didn't react, so he asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "It's nothing, we don't have much time, let's go to the palace first." But he took the iron hook finger glove on his hand, looked up and said to Hongye: "Sister, you invite me first!"
