Gulu gulu——

The setting sun was like blood, and at dusk, the wheels of a carriage ran over the blue bricks, exited the west gate of the palace, and stopped at a wide gate. On the door plaque were the words "The Palace of the Palm Seal Governor of the West Jishi Factory" in bright golden letters.

Extremely dazzling.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Yu Huatian got off the carriage, wearing a silver-white robe and an indifferent expression.

Xichang is located next to the Xihua Gate on the west side of the palace. Although it was just established, because eunuchs were in charge, the people also regarded it as a eunuch. They kept as far away as possible for fear of causing trouble.

Therefore, the street where Xichang is located is very quiet.

There were only a few people from the West Factory standing at the door. When they saw Yuhuatian coming back, they quickly stepped forward and saluted: "See you, Lord Governor."

Yuhuatian ignored it and walked straight into the door and into the main hall, where he saw several senior executives from the West Factory already waiting here.

The leader was Ma Jinliang, the head stall owner of the West Factory. He was dressed in a yellow and white python robe and a pointed hat. The lower half of his face was covered by a bronze mask carved with the face of an unknown beast. His eyes were cold and he looked quite scary.

Next to him is Tan Luzi, the second stall driver. His appearance is relatively normal, but there is always a gloomy look between his eyebrows, which makes it difficult to get along with him at first glance.

Behind him is a man in black robes, his face is green, and his body has a rather good aura from time to time.

This person is a master that Yuhuatian conquered by chance. He is good at spearmanship and is also very good at archery. His name is Zhao Tong. He rarely appears in public. He temporarily acts as the killer of Xichang and solves some inconvenient problems for Yuhuatian.

trivia.

These three people are the three strongest masters under Yuhuatian, and they are all in the innate realm.

Among them, Ma Jinliang, the top dog in the big stalls, is the strongest. He has reached the innate peak and is only one step away from reaching the master level.

Tan Luzi and Zhao Tong are both in the middle stage of Xiantian.

In addition to these three people, there is also a third stall in the West Factory named Ji Xueyong, who is also in the early stage of Xiantian.

However, Ji Xueyong was sent out by Yuhuatian to do some work a few days ago and is not in the capital for the time being.

"Lord Lord!"

Seeing Yuhuatian coming, the three people quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Yuhuatian waved his hand and walked straight into the main hall, and the three of them followed suit.

After coming to the main seat and sitting down, Yuhuatian looked at Tan Luzi and asked, "Is there any movement over there in the East Factory?"

Among the three stalls in Xichang, Ma Jinliang has a withdrawn personality and is a martial arts fanatic. He rarely pays attention to the affairs of Xichang, so Yu Huatian usually leaves it to Tan Luzi and Ji Xueyong to handle anything.

Tan Luzi raised his hand and said: "Let me tell you, Governor, over at Dongchang, Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Xi are secretly mobilizing manpower, and I'm afraid they are about to start taking action!"

Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, "Sure enough, you can't wait so soon..."

"Have you found out their strength?"

Tan Luzi nodded and said: "Zhao Jingzhong has attracted several first-rate warriors in recent years, and there are also more than a dozen second-rate and third-rate warriors. As for the innate masters, the only ones are Zhao Jingzhong and his junior sister Wei Ting."

"But Wei Ting secretly went to the Jinyiwei Yamen today. He should be preparing to seek foreign aid from Jinyiwei!"

Jinyiwei?

Yuhuatian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jinyiwei has existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and was founded during the period of Emperor Hongwu. However, with the emergence of Dongchang, the status of Jinyiwei has been reduced again and again.

Especially when Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the previous generation of Dongchang, was in power, Jinyiwei was so suppressed that he could not hold his head up and was completely reduced to a dog under Dongchang. Even the appointment and removal of positions depended on Dongchang's expression.

After Wan Yulou came to power, his skill and character were not comparable to those of Wei Zhongxian. In addition, the emperor deliberately suppressed Dongchang. The situation of Jinyiwei has improved a lot in recent years, but it still has not escaped the control of Dongchang. The internal affairs are very corrupt and various

Corruption and corruption are extremely common.

There are actually some experts within Jinyiwei, but the disadvantage is that there are no strong masters in charge. Otherwise, it may be possible to escape the control of Dongchang in the past few years.

Yuhuatian ordered: "Let the hidden connections in Jinyiwei be checked to see who agreed to help him."

"yes."

Tan Luzi responded respectfully.

"What about Liu Xi? He didn't find any foreign aid?" Yu Huatian continued to ask.

Tan Luzi cupped his hands and said: "Liu Xi has also secretly trained some masters in the past few years. There may be a dozen first- and second-rate acquired warriors, and there are two innate masters. As for Liu Xi himself..."

Speaking of this, Tan Luzi hesitated for a moment and said: "He has been very low-key these years. I only know that he knows a martial arts that can absorb people's inner strength, but he has never shown it openly, so his specific strength, our people

It has never been found out.”

Yuhuatian's eyes moved slightly. Liu Xi was quite famous in Dongchang before, otherwise he would not have become the second gear driver of Dongchang.

But since he became the second gear head of the East Factory, he has indeed kept a low profile. Even with the intelligence capabilities of the West Factory, it was only found out that he knows a martial arts that can absorb people's internal energy, but his strength has never been determined.

However, Yu Huatian can be sure that this person is definitely the villain Liu Xi in the TV series "Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque". His martial arts skills can rank among the top ten in the entire series.

Generally speaking, a character who can become a villain, no matter how weak his strength is, is not much worse.

Coupled with the "absorption method" he practiced, Liu Xi's strength may not be weaker than that of Zhao Jingzhong and others, and he may even have reached the master level.

It's just that in this world, the "Kung Fu Absorption Technique" is not exclusive to Liu Xi. According to Yu Huatian's knowledge, Hou Zhu Wuwu, the brave god of Hulong Villa, seems to know this martial art.

I wonder if there is any connection between the two...

Yuhuatian is thoughtful.

After thinking for a moment, Yuhuatian said calmly: "Liu Xi leaves it to me. Where is Li Zhong?"

Tan Luzi hurriedly replied: "Li Zhong is a member of Wan Yulou's lineage. Although Wan Yulou died in the hands of Zhao Huaian, his party members did not suffer many casualties. Now they are basically in the hands of Li Zhong."

"Li Zhong is only at the first-class level. He relied on Wan Yulou's connections to become the deputy governor. His strength is not frightening, but he still has four innate masters under his command!"

"Four? That many?"

Yuhuatian was a little surprised.

Tan Luzi nodded and said: "These four people are all masters trained by Wan Yulou over the years. There were originally six, but two of them died at the hands of Zhao Huaian a few days ago."

Yuhuatian nodded slightly, feeling a little emotional at the same time.

It is indeed a force that has been established for many years, and its foundation is much deeper than that of an organization like Xichang, which was only established less than half a year ago.

Yu Huatian tapped his fingers on the armrest of the Taishi chair, frowning in thought.

Not counting the foreign aid that Zhao Jingzhong was looking for, the three forces in Dongchang combined had eight innate masters, and Liu Xi, the second gear leader, might even be a grandmaster.

Under such circumstances, it would be unrealistic to suppress Dongchang in one fell swoop.

Then we can only let them fight on their own first...

Yu Huatian took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart. He looked at Tan Luzi and ordered: "Keep an eye on the Dongchang. When they start fighting, we will go over and clear the place."

"As you command!"

Tan Luzi said respectfully.

…

At night.

In the southwest of the capital, a dark shadow flashed across the street and stopped at the entrance of an alley, waiting quietly.

After a while, a man wearing a samurai uniform, a long ponytail, and a large imperial sword on his shoulder walked slowly out of the alley with a steamed bun in his mouth.

Seeing the man carrying the knife, the man in black glanced around, and after seeing no one there, he walked out of the darkness and walked towards the man with the ponytail.

Under the moonlight, I saw this man wearing a flying fish suit with two swords hanging from his waist. He was obviously a royal guard.

"What are you looking at?"

The man with a ponytail came forward and said lazily: "Are you afraid that your friends who are on duty will see me?"

"Brother!"

The young man in Jin Yiwei had a complicated expression on his face. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the man, saying, "Take the silver and leave quickly."

The man took the money with a smile and said, "No matter how small the fly is, it is still meat!"

The young man in Jinyiwei put down the money and gritted his teeth and said: "This is the last time, don't come to me again in the future!"

After saying that, the young man turned around and wanted to leave.

The man's face stiffened, then he sneered and said, "Do you really think you'll be an official when you put on this Feiyu suit?"

"I tell you, a thief will always be a thief!"

"This secret of yours, I will eat from you forever!"

The young man froze, clenched his fists tightly, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Don't force me!"

The man smiled and said: "What? You want to do something? Come on, let me see how much progress you have made, senior brother."

The young man's eyes turned cold and he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly turned around, pulled out the two swords from his waist, and rushed towards the man to kill him.

The man carrying the knife was not afraid. He just turned around slightly and dodged the young man's double swords. Then he flicked the saber in his hand, and the handle hit the young man's chest.

The young man staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to continue his attack, he suddenly coughed violently, covering his chest, and blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
To be continued...
