It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The Duke of Ji's Mansion is not very big.

The front and back yards together are only about 200 square meters.

Early this morning, the King of Beihai brought two little beauties and said something about "returning gifts".

In short, I brought two large carts of gifts.

The place was filled with food, drinks, clothes, daily necessities, silks, cloths and all sorts of other things.

After receiving the notification, Gao Jianwu hurriedly took his three wives to the door to greet them.

Since abdicating the throne, Gao Jianwu has been arranged to live in this temporary residence.

He never leaves the house all day, just eating and waiting to die.

It's not that he has awakened.
But, apart from one queen and two concubines,
There were more than 30 servants in the mansion, all of whom were arranged by the Northern Navy.

Wherever he went, there were people following him to serve him.
Even going to the toilet is no exception.

Alas, as a prisoner, I have to bow my head.

In fact, he understands very well.

When he was the King of Goryeo, he dealt with uncooperative ministers in the same way.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, who can you blame?
According to historical experience, a king like him who lost his country,

The final result is either a sudden illness or an accident.

In short, he had a premonition that he would not have many good days left.

This constant torment of fear is more painful than being watched.

Every time he saw the soldiers guarding the front and back yards, he was frightened and dared not look directly at them.

However, there are also benefits to being here.

There are two main ones.

First, regular work and rest.
Get up at Mao time, go to bed at You time, eat three meals a day, set food and fixed quantity,

Second, no one disturbs you.

Unless necessary, servants do not communicate with supervisors and enjoy the quiet and comfort.

Gao Jianwu's only greatest hope now is

Just live peacefully and quietly forever.

I never expected that the King of the North Sea would come today!

At first, he was so scared that his legs were trembling and his face was pale, like a hanged ghost.

Fortunately, the steward of the Duke's Mansion explained the reason and he came back alive.

It turned out that the twin daughters were taken in by the King of Beihai, and they came today to return the favor.

So, I become the father-in-law of the King of Beihai?
Ah!
From this point of view, having a daughter was the wisest thing to do!

So he happily went out with his three wives to greet them.

As soon as I went out, I saw the King of Beihai riding on a tall horse.

Behind it, there was a luxurious palace carriage parked.

"Your Highness, I am Gao Jianwu, and I am here to greet the King of Beihai! Please forgive me for being late in welcoming you!"

Lu Yuan laughed and got off the horse.

"Duke Ji, don't be so formal!
I haven't seen you for many days. I miss you so much!

So, I came by to take a look, are you welcome?"

Gao Jianwu quickly smiled and said:
"The King of Beihai has arrived. My humble abode is honored. Welcome, welcome!"

"That's good!"

Lu Yuan nodded and said to the person behind him:
"Please get out of the carriage, ladies, and follow me into the palace."

Gao Xianji and Gao Suyuan had already seen their parents coming out from behind the curtain.
When she heard Lu Yuan's call, she got out of the car in tears and threw herself in front of Gao Jianwu.

"My daughter has met daddy!"

"Dad, are you okay?"

Gao Jianwu felt unhappy when he saw his two daughters tied up their long hair.

However, the King of Beihai was eyeing him covetously, so he dared not hide anything.

He smiled stiffly and said, "Silly child!

Dad eats well, sleeps well, everything is fine!"

The Gao sisters were not born to the queen, their biological mother was Concubine Yi.

However, for children born in the palace, the queen is the nominal mother.

According to etiquette, the Gao sisters paid their respects to the Queen and Concubine Rong before paying their respects to their mother.

When the mother and daughter met, they naturally cried with joy again.

So, Lu Yuan entered the Duke of Ji's Mansion accompanied by Gao Jianwu.

There are many people with a caring heart in Incheon City.

The King of Beihai and the Duke of Ji are sensitive figures.

The news of today's meeting spread to every corner like lightning.

The citizens of Incheon spoke at once and expressed their opinions.

"Why do you think the King of Beihai wants to see the Duke of Ji?"

"It is said to be a 'return gift' from the hometown of the 'King of the North Sea'..."

"Tsk! They just said that, and you really dare to believe it?"

"So what do you mean?"

"I think Duke Ji is probably doomed!"

"No way? If he really did that, wouldn't he be afraid of being cursed by the world?"

"You are so foolish: history,
It is always written by the victors! Do you understand?"

Of course, there are many more people who talk about the beauty of the Gao sisters.

After all, the plot of beautiful heroines fighting for supremacy in a dynasty is what most interests the audience.

There were also many citizens who gathered around the Duke of Ji's Mansion to watch the excitement.

Many of them came to see the King of the North Sea.
Some came to see the sisters,
Of course, some people are also paying attention to the former Goryeo King Gao Jianwu who has passed his prime.

For example, a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe squeezed into the snack stand opposite Ji Guogong.

He left a few big ones and said, "Father, a snack."

The stall owner with a limp immediately picked up the teapot,

He walked over with a plate of dried fruits and pastries in his hand.

After setting the fruit plate and filling the tea cup, the boss carefully put away the three copper coins.

The man in blue shirt asked casually, "Old man, why are there so many people here today?"

The old man glanced at him and said calmly:
"It is said that the King of the North Sea has come, and many people are watching the fun."

The man in blue shirt asked again, "So, you saw the King of the North Sea?"

"Yes, riding a tall horse, carrying a sword, so majestic!"

"Then, have you seen the Duke of Ji?"

"How come I didn't see it? He's fat and looks like a lucky guy!"

He asked in a low voice: "Have you ever seen him leave the house on weekdays?"

The stall owner smiled meaningfully and picked up the coin:
"No, but I don't know if he left the house through the back door..."

The man in blue nodded, threw down a few more copper coins, and left.

The stall owner turned around and looked at a few people in casual clothes sitting at another table.

Two of them immediately stood up and quietly followed the man in blue.

The man in blue shirt was completely unaware and walked around the Duke of Ji's Mansion from the alley and came to the quiet back alley.

As he approached the back door, two plainclothes officers confirmed that
He immediately stepped forward and struck the man in blue shirt on the neck with one palm. When he fainted, he quickly and secretly dragged him away.

In an unknown secret room,

A cold voice shouted: "Splash it on him to wake him up!"

"Wow!"

Zheng Duochun woke up suddenly and tried to get up, but found himself tied up tightly to his seat.

Moreover, in front of him, there was a bright "Fire Spirit Lamp", which was so dazzling that he could not see anything clearly.

"Ah! Who is it? Who tied me up?"

Behind the spirit stone lamp, someone asked coldly:
"May I have your name?
Where do you live?

Who sent you here?"

The man in blue shirt was shocked and instinctively asked:

“Who are you guys?
I am a scholar with a good reputation, and you kidnapped me for no reason.
Do you still have the "Notice to Reassure the People" issued by the King of Beihai? "

A cold voice laughed:
"Well, that's good. I wasn't sure before, but now I can rest assured."

The man in blue shouted, "What do you mean? I didn't do anything! Why are you arresting me..."

"Oh!"

The bailiff next to him punched him hard in the stomach.

“Ahhh! Cough cough~~”

The man in blue screamed in pain, tears almost coming down his face.

A cold voice said: "If it falls into our hands,
If you don't tell the truth, don't even think about getting out alive!"

"I want to, cough, I, I want to sue you..."

“Yeah, you can sue whatever you want!

But first we need to tell you what we need."

The man in blue shirt still said in a tough voice: "I know nothing..."

A cold voice said: "Okay,
Then you have to bear the pain. You guys, treat the "famous scholar" well!"

"Crack!"

“Ahh, oh my, wow~~”

The sound of beatings and screams echoed in the closed room for a long time. After a quarter of an hour, the man in blue shirt could no longer bear it.
He was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his body was covered with wounds. He said with difficulty:
"S-Stop hitting me...I, I said..."

The hot spirit stone lamp was pressed down, and the light became soft.

The man in blue shirt suddenly discovered that this was an interrogation room.

Sitting behind the table in front of me was the stall owner.

Unexpectedly, he was actually a spy of the King of the North Sea.

I actually asked the other party for information... It's over, it's really over!
That’s right, at present, the stalls and shops outside the Duke of Ji’s Mansion,
It’s all the North Navy’s business.

The stall owner, Shen Liuliu,

The commander of the Counterintelligence Security Department trained by Lu Yuan.

He is an old member of the Black Flame Special Forces. He was injured in the leg during the battle.

Had to step down and start from scratch.
From scratch, I started working on counterintelligence and security.

Lu Yuan taught him a trick.
Monitor the suspected target, set up a "hidden stake", and then just sit back and wait.

In Incheon City, the former Prime Minister and the deposed Minister,
And the most important person, Gao Jianwu, are all the targets of their surveillance.

During this period, he successively captured more than a dozen people.
The suspects who roamed around the Duke of Ji’s Mansion did not yield much results.

However, he had a premonition that
Today's blue-shirted man has a background of some kind and may be a breakthrough.

Therefore, Baba personally interrogated him.

The man in blue shirt gasped and answered:

"My name is Zheng Duochun, a scholar from Gyeonggi Province, and my home is in Chiligang, south of the city..."

Shen Liuliu asked: "Who sent you?"

Zheng Duochun was a little flustered, and then said:
"I'm just curious, so I came to take a look..."

During this period, Shen Liuliu interrogated many people and mastered many basic skills.

The other party is obviously covering up.

He flipped over the lampshade and the strong light shone on Zheng Duochun's face again.

The thugs punched and kicked Zheng Duochun again, making him cry for his parents and feel extremely painful.

These people look for weaknesses.

It will cause the suspect to suffer without causing death.

Poor thing, how can a weak scholar fight against such fierce and professional thugs?

Soon, he gave in again and was willing to confess.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ximen gave me five hundred coins... and asked me to find out the news about the king..."

Shen Liuliu shouted, "Which Mr. Ximen?
The Great King refers to the King of Beihai, or the current Duke of Jiguo?"

Zheng Duochun's eyes were already wet with tears and snot, and he trembled as he spoke:

"It's Ximen Feixue, the owner of Ximen Bank...

Let me find out the news about Duke Ji..."

Shen Liuliu continued to ask: "Why did he inquire about the news of Duke Ji?"

Zheng Duochun shook his head: "I don't know about that..."

Shen Liuliu shouted majestically:
"If you don't behave, you will suffer...you two..."

Zheng Duochun was so frightened that he peed himself, and trembled as he shouted:

"Sir, please stop hitting me. I can't stand it anymore.
I really don’t know…I swear!”

Shen Liuliu suddenly smelled a strong smell of urine.

Looking down, Zheng Duochun's pants were wet in a large area.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe,
You are such a loser, and you want to earn money by selling your life?"

Zheng Duochun was so ashamed that he stammered:
"I didn't want to come at first, but he forced me to come..."

"Oh, what's the reason?"

Zheng Duochun was so ashamed that he decided to throw out all the information.

The matter was simple. Zheng Duochun's mother was ill and owed Ximen Feixue a lot of money.

So, when I went to borrow money today,
Ximen Feixue threatened him to inquire about the news and give him 500 coins for each trip.

Zheng Duochun had no choice but to come here with a fluke mentality.

Shen Liuliu stared at Zheng Duochun for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"I'll give you a chance to make money, one thousand coins at a time, are you willing?"

After hearing this, Zheng Duochun was stunned.

what? !

Let me go back undercover and find out the news about Ximen Feixue?

I am a person who reads books of saints...

But he soon realized that he had no choice.

If I don't follow Shen Liuliu's advice, not only will I go to jail, but my mother will also die of illness.

Seeing that Zheng Duochun agreed to cooperate, Shen Liuliu had someone take him to heal his wounds, wash up, and eat.

Then, he taught him step by step how to deal with Ximen Feixue.

"But why didn't you just arrest Ximen Feixue?"

Shen Liuliu smiled and said: "Think about it carefully.

A bank owner, who has nothing better to do than to inquire about the news of the Duke of Ji?"

Zheng Duochun was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

"Your Excellency means that there is someone else behind Ximen Feixue?"

Shen Liuliu knew very well that it was impossible to open a money house in the royal city without a background.

Therefore, he inferred that the mastermind,

It is very likely that the old people and young people of Gao Jianwu's dynasty,
Perhaps it has something to do with the rumored restoration.

When letting Zheng Duochun go back, Shen Liuliu said softly:
"We have your testimony and confession.

Your mother is still sick in bed, so you should know what to do. "

Zheng Duochun nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will cooperate!"

After he left, Shen Liuliu immediately ordered:
"Place a secret stake near Ximen Bank.
I want to see who is behind this!"

At the Duke of Ji’s Mansion, Gao Jianwu and his wife once again respectfully saw off the King of Beihai.

They stayed for a total of one hour, and Lu Yuan was very polite and impeccable.

At the same time, Lu Yuan reiterated to Gao Jianwu:
"As long as you behave yourself, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!"

Gao Jianwu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your grace, King Beihai. I will keep it in mind!"

Lu Yuan waved to the two little beauties who were inseparable from their biological mother.

"Let's go back to the hot springs!"

Concubine Yi did not dare to delay any longer and said to her daughter:
"Serve the king well and give birth to a child soon!"

The two little beauties reluctantly left the Duke of Ji's Mansion and got back into the carriage.

One hundred guards cleared the way, protected the king, and quickly returned to the palace.

Just as the team reached the downtown area, a whistle sounded.
A group of masked practitioners holding various weapons,
They poured out from all directions, charging forward fearlessly.

"Kill the King of Beihai and restore the Great Goryeo! Kill!"

"The devil who stole the country must be killed by everyone!"

There were inspiring slogans and deafening explosions.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and ordered: "Don't hurt the civilians by mistake!"

These 100 guards are experts in shooting accuracy.
Within a hundred steps, every bullet hits its target, let alone the downtown area of ​​only thirty or fifty meters.

However, Lu Yuan put forward higher requirements for them:
While killing the assassins, reduce innocent casualties.

The captain of the personal guard, Zhang Yaofang, replied: "Yes! Shoot freely to reduce accidental injuries."

The guards then raised their guns and aimed and fired.

These assassins are all masked, which is a perfect sign.

Ordinary team members use "Aka 47" to shoot low-level practitioners.

The ten team leaders held "box guns" filled with spirit stone bullets.
Focus on dealing with high-level practitioners.

"Clap clap clap!"

On the street, gunshots rang out and bullets flew everywhere.
Ordinary citizens either scattered or lay down on the ground.

Now, the assassins were more conspicuous, and the guards opened fire with rapid fire.

More and more assassins were shot, and it became almost a one-sided killing.

But, just when the situation was good,
A domineering spiritual power burst out from a half-open shop.

The force was like a volcanic eruption, blasting a big hole in the store door.

It rushed straight towards Lu Yuan on his horse and attacked quickly.

Lu Yuan tilted his head, feeling very surprised.

Hey, there is actually a great master in the realm of Heavenly Venerate?

As far as he knew, there were only three people in Goryeo who had advanced to the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

White Tiger Lord, Min Tao.

Purple Sun Lord, Zhang Donglai.

The Snow Queen, Yuan Yuzhen.

Who is it?

However, in a flash, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Venerable was invincible, and the guards surrounding Lu Yuan were shattered at the touch.

In the blink of an eye, five or six guards turned into blood.

Faced with the imminent murderous intent, Lu Yuan's spiritual consciousness suddenly gave birth to a wonderful feeling.

He suddenly seemed to understand.

Could this be... (End of this chapter)
