Text Chapter 557: Clear Water and No Fish

"Buzz!"

A huge fiery red fist with profound strength soared into the sky, heading straight towards Tang Lu and Tang Tian's approaching force, so frightened that Tang Lu hurriedly waved his palm and deflected the blow with the fire fox seal.

In fact, Zhang Wei is also a cultivation base in the Heaven Realm, so it's not that scary, but what Tang Lu fears the most is that Zhang Wei is actually wearing the armor of the deputy commander of the Imperial Army at this time. He was also the first to come to the PC, but it was this armor that made Tang Lu unable to kill any more.

What a crime it is to kill a general at the level of deputy commander in the imperial capital. I am afraid it is far from being as simple as killing a mere Xiao Han. Moreover, Zhang Wei is Feng Jixing's favorite general and has a good relationship with Lin Muyu. It would be even more troublesome to pursue it. Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, no matter how stupid Tang Lu was, he would understand this truth.

After a glance, Tang Lu and Tang Tian flew up to the rooftop one after another, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

...

"You two don't go, stay and fight with me for 300 rounds!"

Zhang Wei's fist was filled with flames, and flames shot up into the sky between the swings. He looked mighty, but he couldn't stand still at all, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

Xiao Han clutched the burn wound on his chest, stepped forward and said gratefully: "Thank you, General, for saving me!"

Zhang Wei helped Xiao Han up, talking nonsense: "So what are you being polite about, you are from Huoquesi, I saved you, you must buy me flower wine, I want some Oiran girl."

"This...well then..." Xiao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Master Xiao Han, do you still remember me?"

"You, aren't you the silver star instructor of the temple, Master Zhang Cheng?"

"Exactly, my cousin Zhang Wei and I just came here after drinking. Master Xiao Han, why are you being chased and killed? Who are those two people?"

Knowing that the matter was important, Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I don't know either... The imperial capital has become more and more restless recently."

"yes!"

Zhang Cheng helped Zhang Wei who was sitting on the ground, and said: "I will accompany my cousin to the Forbidden Army camp. Master Xiao Han, do you want to go there with us? I am afraid that there will be some danger along the way."

"Not anymore."

Xiao Han waved his hand and said: "This place is only a few steps away from Huoquesi, it doesn't matter, Xiao Han will definitely come to the house someday to thank you two for saving your life."

"You are too polite!"

Zhang Cheng supported Zhang Wei and left slowly, while Xiao Han quickly disappeared into the darkness of Huajiu Street, crossing a street is the main hall of Huoquesi.

...

At this time, the gate of the Huoque Division was still open. When there were command-level patrols going out to inspect, the Huoque Division was on duty all night, but when a group of patrolmen saw the injured Xiao Han approaching, they couldn't help being shocked. Can't stop: "Master Xiao, what's wrong with you, who hurt you?"

"I'm fine."

Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Has the abbot slept yet?"

"not yet."

"Take me to see the abbot."

"yes!"

Behind a row of steel fences, lights came out from the windows, and a policeman knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Master Zheng, Commander Xiao Han is asking to see you."

"Xiao Han?"

Zheng Gu held a copy of "Heart Cultivation Sutra" in his hand, put down the scripture and said: "Let Xiao Han come in."

"yes!"

A group of patrolmen stood outside the door, and Xiao Han pushed the door in, but most of the clothes on his chest were burned off, revealing the soft armor inside, and clasped his fists in a slightly embarrassed way: "My lord, I'm back..."

Zheng Gu frowned: "Xiao Han, what's going on here, who dares to hurt the Huoque Division's patrolling control in the imperial capital, there is no law at all, and who the hell is it?"

Xiao Han gave a wrong answer and smiled: "My lord, compared to the news my subordinates got, this injury is nothing at all."

"What?"

Zheng Gu said in a deep voice, "Has your inspection progressed?"

"Yes, my subordinates found five high-level demons in the wine shop, but it's a pity that we didn't bring enough manpower, and they were not opponents of the demons at all, and the people who conspired with the demons had also discovered me and Sun He. , Sun He died in the line of duty and was killed, and the injuries of his subordinates were also thanks to the conspirators."

"This..." Zheng Gu said indifferently: "What kind of person is so bold and reckless, dare to secretly meet the demons in Lanyan City? Dare to kill Huoquesi's patrol in Lanyan City?"

"It's from Qihai Palace." Xiao Han took a deep breath and said, "Lingbeihou Tanglu and Lingxihou Tangtian, the injuries of the subordinates were caused by Tanglu, and Sun He was killed by Tangtian himself."

"What, people from Qihai Palace?!"

Zheng Gu was shocked suddenly, and his body fell into the seat as if uncontrollably.

"grown ups!"

Looking at Zheng Gu's appearance, Xiao Han was a little disappointed, and said: "My lord can't tolerate them just because they are powerful. At this time, the fate of the empire is tied. We Huoque serve the king's salary and receive the king's favor. Now we are serving the country with our bodies At that time, my subordinates heard clearly that Tang Lu and Tang Tian conspired with the Demon Race, and Tang Lan, the King of the Seven Seas behind them must also be involved. Please also grant me the Fire Sparrow Order, so that my subordinates can continue this matter. Follow up!"

"Firebird order?"

Zheng Gu looked a little depressed, and said: "No, we can't continue to investigate this matter, otherwise the involvement will become bigger and bigger, and it will touch the country's foundation!"

"If you don't continue to investigate, Guoben will really move!"

Xiao Han said with some indignation: "My lord, do you know what they are plotting?"

"I... I don't need to know." Zheng Gu said lightly.

Xiao Han was stunned: "My lord...you are the abbot of Huoquesi, the existence in charge of the laws of the empire, how can you say such a thing? He...they are plotting to assassinate Xu Jiantao, the governor of Cangnan Province Ah, once Xu Jiantao is killed, the Cangnan province is bound to fall into chaos, and the eastern gate of the empire will be lost to the demons!"

"I know!"

Zheng Gu took a deep look at him, and said: "Xiao Han, you should also understand how powerful the King of the Seven Seas Tang Lan is. If we rush to move him now, I'm afraid it will be better than a rabbit jumping over the wall. Seven Seas Province, Earth Star Province They are attacking Lingbei Province from the north and the south, what should Lanyan City do? Can the Longdan Battalion and the imperial army alone keep Lanyan City and Her Royal Highness the Empress?"

Said, Zheng Gu patted Xiao Han's shoulder lightly, and said: "You go down to heal and rest first, I will consider this matter, don't worry, the bad guys will be punished eventually, Sun He will not die in vain."

"Oh well……"

"Come here, send Commander Xiao Han back to his room to rest and recuperate."

"yes!"

As soon as Xiao Han left, another commanding patrol came in, clasped his fists and said, "My lord!"

Zheng Gu's eyes were cold, and he said: "Send someone to confine Xiao Han, and don't let him go out of the room."

"yes!"

...

After midnight, another group of people appeared at the gate of Huoquesi. On the luxurious carriage, an old man wore a cloak and walked into Huoquesi with his face covered under the cloak, with a forest of guards behind him.

"What's wrong with our Huoque Division today?" A gatekeeper patrolled with a look of astonishment: "It seems to have become a bustling city, with people coming and going, it's really not an ordinary bustle."

"Who knows, let's not ask about the matters above, so as not to hurt Chi Yu."

"Well, you are quite right. Is the old man who went in just now His Royal Highness Tang Lan, King of the Seven Seas?"

"I told you to stop asking and still ask, stinky s13!"

"..."

In the depths of Huoque Division, a guard hurriedly came to Zheng Gu's residence, knocked on the door and said, "My lord, His Highness the King of the Seven Seas is here!"

"ah?"

Zheng Gu was stunned: "Hurry up... please go to the front hall to have a cup of tea, I will come right away."

"No, Your Highness said that we can meet here."

"Then...well then..."

When Tang Lan stepped into Zheng Gu's residence, he waved his hand and moved away from the left and right. There were only him and Zheng Gu in the room.

"Subordinate Huoque Division Abbot Zheng Gu, see Your Highness!"

Zheng Gu hastily saluted and said, "I don't know what is the purpose of His Highness' late night visit?"

Tang Lan didn't speak. He went forward and picked up the teapot to pour water into the cup, but the water quickly overflowed and the heat splashed everywhere. Zheng Gu looked at it blankly and said, "Your Highness... the water is full."

"Yes, the water is full."

Tang Lan smiled faintly: "A cup can only hold so much water, and a Huoquesi can only take care of so many things. If you take care of too much, the water will inevitably overflow."

Knowing what Tang Lan meant, Zheng Gu clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, what do you want to say...just say it straight, forgive me for being stupid."

Tang Lan slowly sat in the chair, holding the overflowing tea, the tea kept splashing and falling on his robe, but he was unmoved, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Huo Que Si's tea is so bitter. ah."

Zheng Gu was a little embarrassed: "The Huoque Department is the Qingshui Yamen, so naturally it is not as good as the tea in the Wangfu..."

"Qingshui yamen?"

Tang Lan couldn't help laughing, looked at Hanyue outside the window, and said: "A year ago, when the Minister of the Household Department was investigated, there was an unowned account with a total of 1.24 million gold coins. Master Zheng Gu still remembers Right? This account... seems to have been confiscated by the adults, but it disappeared in the end. It just killed a mere policeman to question the crime. I also heard that Mr. Zheng Gu has three other gardens in the province of Tianshu. Rich and luxurious, is this true?"

Zheng Gu couldn't help sweating: "Your Highness, these...these are true."

"If it's true, Huoquesi doesn't seem to be Qingshui Yamen!"

Tang Lan laughed, stepped forward to help the trembling Zheng Gu, and said: "Master Zheng Gu, people are not sages, everyone has a little selfishness, for the family to live a better life, who is not like this? Alas, my The two incompetent grandsons, Tang Lu and Tang Tian, ​​seem to have caused trouble for an old man like me again, so please leave this matter to Mr. Zheng Gu."

Zheng Gu was silent.

Tang Lan smiled again, took out a thick stack of gold notes from his arms, put them on the table, and said: "It's getting colder, these gold coins should be used as a gift for the officials of Huoque Division." A cotton coat, I'm tired, Master Zheng Gu doesn't need to transport it."

Zheng Gu knelt on the ground and trembled, although it was cold winter, he broke out in cold sweat like a dog day.
