Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 256 Fox Tail
Thinking of this, Chu Chengyao, who was originally annoyed that someone else had helped Yuan Dao first, burst into laughter instantly.

"It's too late for you and me to get to know each other, so it's polite to say this. Mr. Yuan is quite talented, and it will not be difficult to win the favor of my father again. However, the matters under the jurisdiction of the two departments are different. Mr. Yuan will have to work hard these three months. ”

The two drank happily until midnight, when Yuan Dao, who was slightly drunk, left.

It wasn't until Yuan Dao returned to his mansion to sleep that the black figure outside the courtyard exited Yuan's mansion and went straight to the palace.

Never sleep inside.

An Zhixian, dressed in plain clothes, was sitting at the desk reading various letters, when An Nanfeng knocked on the door and came in.

"It's late at night, you should pay more attention to rest."

"It doesn't matter, I fell asleep after reading this. Do you have anything to do with me, Uncle An?"

An Nanfeng: "Ling Jiu is here. He has news to report. It's not an urgent matter for me to ask. We can talk about it tomorrow."

An Zhixian: "Tell him to come in."

An Nanfeng didn't say anything more and went out to call Ling Jiu.

"Master, Yuan Dao took the wine jar to the Second Prince's Mansion in the evening. I told you two days ago that another person followed Yuan Dao. Tonight, we got some clues. That person entered the palace."

An Zhixian: "Imperial Palace? Has he ever discovered you?"

Ling Jiu: "No, my subordinate has been in the dark all the time. His body is very strange, so he is afraid that he will find that he is far away."

An Nanfeng: "Which one in the palace will it be?"

An Zhixian: "It's hard to say... Ling Jiu, from which door did that person enter the palace? How did he get in?"

Ling Jiu: "I entered from the east side door, carrying a token on my body. The guards guarding the door saw the token and let me go without stopping. My subordinates were far away and couldn't see clearly what the token looked like."

An Nanfeng: "Because the Ding'an Army stationed in the Royal Hunting Ground is in the east of the city, the east gate has always been the door through which military generals enter the palace. This person entered the palace through the east side door. Although he is not a military general, he is still in the army. Could it be that he is a member of the Imperial Guard? ?”

An Zhixian's eyes were cold: "It should be the emperor's hidden guard."

An Nanfeng asked in confusion: "Hidden Guard? Why have you never heard of it?"

An Zhixian looked at the dancing candlelight, his thoughts drifting away, and he spoke after a moment.

"They are dead soldiers trained secretly by the royal family. They are only under orders from the emperor. When the emperor dies and passes the throne, the next emperor will be informed separately. Only when the new emperor ascends the throne and the hidden guards appear with tokens can the new emperor know who the hidden guards are. .The Hidden Guard has always been mysterious, and even the royal people don’t know about it.”

An Nanfeng sighed inadvertently: "It turned out to be like this. Only Sect Master Feng can know such a secret in the world. It's a pity that Tianji Sect is not involved in government affairs, otherwise we..."

An Zhixian interrupted: "Uncle An, how can you expect others to survive for a long time? Only if the Tianji Sect does not get involved in government affairs can it survive for a long time. No matter how powerful the Jianghu is, how can it be stronger than the ancestral temple?"

An Nanfeng nodded in agreement, and An Zhixian added:
"Now that the hidden guard has appeared, Chu Chengyao can no longer hide his tail in front of the emperor no matter how he hides his clumsiness. Just pay attention to Yuan Dao and Chu Chengyao. There is no need to guard them every day. Don't be discovered by the hidden guard. trace."

Ling Jiu agreed and resigned together with An Nanfeng.

An Zhixian tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously and murmured: "How did Chu Chengyao make Yuan Dao make a comeback?"

A young and delicate little face suddenly appeared in my mind. Could this have something to do with her?That day at the Lin Mansion, she took out Yuan Dao's couplet. Was it just a coincidence?
In order to clear up his doubts, An Zhixian specially called Gu Yichen the next day. After probing with words, he found that the General's Mansion didn't know anything about it, which made him feel relieved.

I am indeed a warrior, but how old is she...
