Chapter 281 Fu Jingtao's Choice
In order to hunt down the assassin who caused trouble in Qiao Mansion, the nearby area has been tightly cordoned off, and interrogations and searches are being carried out door to door.
Just above the noise of people's voices and footsteps, a group of Qiao's guards rushed in, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, and banging, even the kitchen and latrines. The man from the Shadow Dragon Guard responded to the interrogation in a low voice, with sincerity and fear.
The answer was flawless.
Fu Jingtao and the actress held their breaths, listening to what was going on above them.
If the entrance to the tunnel is discovered and the traces are exposed, they will never see the sun tomorrow.
Fu Jingtao secretly sighed in his heart. This time, his impulse was reckless. He was so angry that he failed to consider the consequences of the failed action, and fell into a desperate situation. The key is that killing Fan Yundou is of little significance. He can neither destroy Xinglongkui nor destroy the fabric he weaved.
In the human network, there is still a huge cancer parasitic on the Song Dynasty.
Sometimes killing is not the best way to solve a problem.
Everything should be planned before taking action.
Feeling uneasy, the movement in the room disappeared, and the guards who found nothing left angrily, cursing and moving to the next house.
The actress let out a breath and laughed softly: "It should be fine."
Fu Jingtao said apologetically: "It's all my fault for not thinking carefully and acting rashly, which almost cost your lives."
The actress said: "Life is small, but the mission is important. Fan Yun will never stop eating shit. As long as he is not completely dead and continues to traffic in iron arrows, he will definitely fall into our hands."
Fu Jingtao thought about lightning in his mind and asked: "Is your leader the third prince Zhao Guangyi?"
The actress said without hesitation: "Yes."
Fu Jingtao thought of the ups and downs that Zhao Guangyi stirred up, and the scenes of bloody battles in the wasteland, with mixed feelings in his heart. The sharp blade of the Shadow Dragon Guard had long been unsheathed, but it was just not well known. Zhao Guangyi held the handle of the knife, so where did the tip of the knife point?
Who, among them there is a lot of knowledge. If it is aimed at foreign enemies like the Khitan, it is okay, but what if it is aimed at the inside of the Song Dynasty? Even if it is as strong as the Xuanyuan Sect, there is almost no resistance.
Zhao Guangyi can snipe and kill Zhou Huan, shake the Xuanyuan Sect, and arrest Fan Yundou. Naturally, he can also eradicate political opponents without anyone noticing and move away disobedient generals and officials. Once he tastes the taste of doing whatever he wants and his ambitions expand, how can he
Satisfied with the throne of a prince? Who doesn’t want to control the fate of hundreds of millions of people with one word? Who doesn’t want to guide the country and leave a name in history?
If Zhao Guangyi masters the power of the Imperial City Division and the Shadow Dragon Guard, it will become dangerous and terrifying.
Throughout history, the emperor's family did not care about family ties. In order to compete for imperial power, brothers and sisters killed each other, and the antagonism between father and son happened repeatedly in the past dynasties. Every succession of emperors was filled with blood.
Facing the temptation of power, can Zhao Guangyi resist?
Fu Jingtao was secretly worried for Zhao Kuangyin, and asked: "What is the difference between the Imperial City Division and the Shadow Dragon Guard? Do their responsibilities overlap? What are the requirements for joining them?"
The actress briefly explained: "The Imperial City Division originated from the Wude Division and was created by the emperor. It has the functions of guarding the imperial palace, guarding the emperor, investigating border affairs, arresting rebels, etc. The personnel basically come from the imperial army, good family members, and meritorious officials.
The Shadow Dragon Guard was recently established. It is nominally affiliated with the Imperial City Division, but it mainly recruits people from the world. The leader is often eunuchs and generals. The two have jurisdiction and do not interfere with each other. Your origin
Xuanyuan Sect, martial arts, courage, and loyalty are enough. As long as Third Prince Zhao agrees, you can join the Shadow Dragon Guard."
The Imperial City Secretary has great powers and directly obeys the emperor's orders. He is the emperor's bodyguard. In terms of closeness and trust, no one can match him. After Taizu established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, in view of the difficulty of controlling warlords in various places, he tried to take back military power and gradually implemented military reform.
, on the one hand, spies were sent to collect intelligence and guard against possible threats. All members of the Imperial City Division were personally selected by Zhao Kuangyin and received very generous treatment.
Zhao Guangyi won the trust of his brother and became increasingly powerful. In recent years, he began to intervene in various affairs of the Imperial City Division. However, he was also extremely cautious and did not touch Zhao Kuangyin's old subordinates without authorization. Instead, he started a new venture and established the "Shadow Dragon Guard" to recruit
Strange people and unknown masters in the world are trying to build a new team.
This time, the establishment of the Qingyun List of the Great Song Dynasty successfully attracted the attention of the world, allowing those frustrated warriors to see the hope of changing their destiny. No country has ever attached so much importance to the people in the martial arts world, and even set up monuments as evidence! In order to gain a front-line reputation, they
Given the opportunity, they all contacted Zhao Guangyi and took the initiative to express their willingness to serve the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Guangyi took the opportunity to select hundreds of top players, secretly recruited troops, quickly expanded the strength of the Shadow Dragon Guard, and extended its tentacles to all states in the Central Plains.
At this time, someone revealed that Fan Yundou had colluded with the bureaucrats and resold large quantities of iron arrows to foreigners.
Zhao Guangyi fell asleep and encountered a pillow, so he immediately sent the Shadow Dragon Guard to investigate the case. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to strictly investigate the arms reselling case, kill chickens to scare monkeys, and bloodbath the northwest officialdom, killing some and replacing them with others, so as to further establish himself
's reputation.
Of course Fu Jingtao would not know Zhao Guangyi's wishful thinking, and said with a smile: "To put it simply, the Imperial City Division is controlled by the emperor, and the Shadow Dragon Guard is dispatched by Prince Zhao, right?"
The actress was stunned for a moment: "You are right to think so."
Fu Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, why should I join the Shadow Dragon Guard? Wouldn't it be better to join the Imperial City Division directly? If I am lucky enough to be appreciated by the emperor, I will rise to the top and have a bright future."
The actress shook her head and said: "The Imperial City Secretary is the emperor's personal soldier. The three generations of newcomers must be strictly investigated. They also need to be guaranteed by courtiers or the royal family. How can they pass the test easily?"
Fu Jingtao smiled slightly and said: "This matter may be as difficult as climbing to the sky for others, but it is easy for me."
He inherently dislikes Zhao Guangyi, who is good at conspiracy and calculation, and has a deep palace, and he does not want to join the Shadow Dragon Guard and be monitored and controlled by him. Every time he thinks of the mysterious deaths of Jiang Haoyun, Cheng Tong and others, and the faint shadow of Zhao Guangyi's activities, he feels like needles in his heart.
Feeling like a prick.
Zhao Guangyi is unscrupulous and cold-hearted in order to achieve his goals. If he really wants to become his subordinate, he will be sacrificed as an outcast at any time.
The actress obviously didn't believe it: "What a big statement! Why do you have that?"
"Just because I am the top of the Great Song Qingyun List!"
"Ah, you are Fu Jingtao?!"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake!"
The actress said excitedly: "The Song Dynasty was the first to set up a monument for warriors, which is the honor that all martial arts people dream of! Do you know that more than 70% of the Shadow Dragon Guards joined Zhao Song because of you? Yes, the Qingyun Ranking was unveiled.
Are you going to take a detour to Tengzhou and rush to Tokyo soon?"
Fu Jingtao said: "Exactly."
The actress said enviously: "With your status as the number one in the Qingyun Ranking, you are equivalent to being the number one scholar in martial arts. You will definitely be received by Taizu, and you will be granted a rank. It is not a problem. You don't need to be anonymous like us husband and wife.
Living on tenterhooks."
Fu Jingtao smiled bitterly. Nowadays, I don’t know how many masters are red-eyed and want to exchange his head for a hundred thousand silver rewards! He is not only frightened, he can’t sleep at night, walking on thin ice. This trip to Tokyo will never be easy. So,
We always see the bright side of others, but never pay attention to the hardships and hardships behind them.
