A few days have passed since the last inn battle. Tailin City has been relatively peaceful these days. No major cases have occurred. All officials and ministers are under the protection of the city guard camp and the imperial army.
On this day, Cao Yi got drunk in a restaurant.
He is Cao Shan's cousin, and he was very at odds with Cao Shan. He was once willing to work for the Gu family in order to fight against Cao Shan.
After the Gu family collapsed, as a relative of Cao Shan and a marginal role in the Gu family, he escaped death and was exempted from the crime.
However, he could be exempted from death penalty but could not escape from living crime. He was still deprived of his original status and became an ordinary forbidden soldier.
He successfully rose to power by relying on Cao Shan's relationship, but then his relationship with Cao Shan broke down, and he became friends with the Gu family. He became prosperous along the way, and also used the opportunity to suppress many people.
This time he was implicated, causing many of his enemies to take revenge on him, which made him miserable.
Because Cao Yi helped the Gu family before, Cao Shan was eager to cut off the relationship with Cao Yi, and there were some conflicts between the two.
Therefore, Cao Yi could not seek help from Cao Shan.
Cao Yi endured all of this. Although he was extremely angry and wanted to kill all these people, he had no background and strength and had no way to fight with those people.
If he loses his position in the Imperial Guard, he may be dead on the streets tomorrow.
"Brother Cao!" came a loud voice.
Cao Yi was startled by the voice and quickly looked over, only to find that it was an old acquaintance.
"Li Si, Liu Wu, what are you doing here? Are you watching my joke, Mr. Cao?"
When he saw the person clearly, he drank a glass of wine slowly.
These two men were from the city guard camp and served as centurions.
When the Gu family was still there, these two people could be said to have flattered Cao Yi in every possible way, and they had no bottom line at all.
After Cao Yi was demoted, the two of them seemed to be completely different people. When they met Cao Yi, they would always be sarcastic and indifferent to Cao Yi.
"Hey, Brother Cao, actually we sympathize with your situation and we are here to help you." Li Si smiled and sat down minding his own business.
"Yes, if things come true this time, you might be able to become the leader of the Forbidden Army and surpass your uncle in one fell swoop." Liu Wu also supported him.
Hearing this, Cao Yi became interested and said, "What are you trying to do? Don't drag me into this."
Although he said this, Cao Yi's eyes were still full of curiosity.
"Brother Cao, why don't you talk to me at home."
"Yes, there are many people here."
Looking at the eyes of Li Si and Liu Wu, Cao Yi thought for a moment and then agreed.
He has no conflict of interest with the two of them, and they should not be able to plot against him.
Arriving at Li Si's house, Cao Yi saw several strangers with sharp eyes. After seeing Cao Yi, they stared at him closely.
Li Si and Liu Wu brought Cao Yi into the house. Inside, there was also a tall man standing with a fang mask on his head.
Cao Yi's heart suddenly stirred up a storm, and he recognized this person's identity.
"Tall, wearing a fang mask, are you an assassin?"
After saying that, Cao Yi looked at Li Si and Liu Wu angrily. These two people were trying to drag him down.
"Brother Cao, don't be anxious. You might as well think about it. Is it possible that you will be reused during His Majesty's reign?"
This is a heart-breaking statement. Whether it is because of the Gu family or because of his relationship with Cao Shan, Cao Yi cannot be reused.
To be able to save a life is already a great kindness from the emperor.
In other words, he has been like this almost all his life.
"I might as well tell you that we actually represent Dashun Country."
"If you cooperate with us and succeed, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed and the Dashun Kingdom will replace the Great Zhou Kingdom. By then you will be the founding hero of the country, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. No one will dare to bully you."
Cao Yi's heart was moved by Li Si and Liu Wu's words. When he thought about his own situation, he suddenly became a little angry.
Even among the ordinary Forbidden Army, he was one of the excluded people.
I heard that the Emperor's Dragon Guard would be selected from the Forbidden Army, but Cao Yi was not even qualified to sign up. Apart from the name of the Forbidden Army, he had almost nothing.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Cao Yi said firmly.
The man in the fang mask, who is also the envoy, took out a bottle from his arms. The bottle was filled with dense insects, which was very dense and terrifying.
"Put these bugs in the place where the Forbidden Army is most numerous, and let them infect as many of the Forbidden Army as possible." The envoy said calmly.
This is a very terrifying secret technique. It uses ancient secret methods to cultivate bugs, and then allows these bugs to enter the human body, and then the bugs can be used to control people.
This kind of secret technique belongs to the Gu technique. Tianjia Fuzhou inherited the Lotus Sect, and the Lotus Sect inherited the Fierce Spirit Palace. There are many vicious and insidious secret techniques in it.
Cao Yi didn't know the role of insects, but he had accepted Li Si and Liu Wu's bewitchment, and there was no turning back.
If he goes back on his word, I'm afraid these people won't be able to let him off easily.
At this time, Cao Yi's heart was filled with hatred. Under the anxiety in his heart, he finally firmed up his thoughts.
Dashun Kingdom is not Gu Taizhong, it is a royal court with hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is very powerful.
The Great Zhou Kingdom is fighting on two fronts and is currently on the defensive.
If something goes wrong with Tai Lin, I'm afraid the battlefield will collapse immediately.
At this time, Bai Yutian was still unaware of the Tianjia Assassin's conspiracy. He was experimenting with the effects of the Huanhuan Dan at Hidden Sword Villa with Shen Yusheng.
Refining elixirs is an extremely labor-intensive task. After several days of research, he was so tired that he almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, the elixir was finally refined.
In order to test the elixir, Bai Yutian also searched for a long time, and finally found someone who was willing to test the elixir.
Regardless of success or failure afterwards, these people will receive valuable rewards.
The people who tested the elixir were two veterans of the Forbidden Army, both of whom are now over fifty years old.
They looked determined, and after hesitating for a moment, they finally swallowed the Revolving Pill, and then immediately began to circulate their internal energy to absorb the power of the pill.
Bai Yutian also looked at the two of them nervously, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Suddenly, the two men let out a low shout almost at the same time, and their bodies were filled with powerful momentum, causing a circular wave of air around them.
"Boom!" The two of them opened their eyes, like bright stars, and their auras were much stronger than before.
"Your Majesty, it seems to have been successful. We feel much stronger than before, and there is endless power in our bodies." The two said excitedly, clenching their fists.
They have been practicing martial arts all their lives, but they have never been as happy as today.
"Dian Wei, spar with them, remember not to attack too hard." Bai Yutian ordered Dian Wei who was standing aside.
"Yes!" Dianwei replied in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the two people.
