For most people in the world, the Underworld Order has only been heard of but never seen, because the Underworld Order is only a certificate for high-level personnel in the Underworld organization to issue orders. Only with this token can the high-level officials of the Underworld give orders.

people below.

Hongyu took the token, stretched out her hand, and touched the lines and material on it. She knew that this was a real underworld order, because no one dared to fool themselves with fake underworld orders, which would kill people.

As for the token in Hongyu's hand, only one person in the entire organization has it, and that is Jizo.

"Tell me what kind of mission it is." Hongyu had no choice but to accept the mission reluctantly.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhao Wu clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Hongyu with a smile, "Senior Ksitigarbha has given orders that as long as Miss Hongyu completes this mission, then Miss Hongyu can leave the underworld."

"really?"

Zhao Wu said slowly: "Seriously!"

Hongyu's eyes were fixed on Zhao Wu's expression, as if she wanted to see if Zhao Wu was lying, but Zhao Wu was a manager who ranked only behind Gao Lishi in the imperial city, so Hongyu never saw that Zhao Wu was lying.

There is any change in the expression.

"What mission?"

Zhao Wu said calmly: "After your Majesty's birthday in a few days, someone will be sent to Liangzhou to thoroughly investigate the case of the cavalry killing Ming people and pretending to be Northern Qi people. At that time, I hope Miss Hongyu will not let that gentleman or arrive in Liangzhou.

.”

Hongyu didn't speak. She was carefully considering what Zhao Wu said. This was not a simple matter. You must know that the people sent by the Ming Emperor were court officials, and assassinating the court officials was a serious crime.

If after killing him, Jin Yiwei and Qin Tianjian investigate the matter clearly, they will be hunted down by the Ming Dynasty, so this matter can be said to be a narrow escape from death.

Although Hongyu is the top assassin in the underworld, she does not think that she can survive the pursuit of Jin Yiwei and Qin Tianjian. This is tantamount to facing two behemoths by herself.

In other words, this was courting death. But Zhao Wu had to accept Ksitigarbha's token. If he disobeyed the order, he would be hunted down by the underworld.

Dilemma.

"Father, do I have the right to refuse?"

Zhao Wu raised his orchid fingers, twirled a strand of long hair at his temples, smiled playfully, "What do you think?"

Of course Hongyu knew whether she did or not, and said helplessly: "If I accept the task, I will die, and if I don't accept it, I will die. So, what's the difference whether I accept it or not?"

Zhao Wu continued: "Miss Hongyu is wrong. If you kill that man, I guarantee that the Internal Affairs Supervisory Committee will be responsible for the safety of you and your husband-in-law."

Hongyu glanced at the room behind her, with gentle eyes and a thick smile on her lips.

In fact, she was looking at the people inside the house.

"Father-in-law, please come back. Just send us the information when the time comes."

Zhao Wu originally had many things to say to Hong Yu, but when he saw Hong Yu's determined expression, he put those words into his stomach.

"Miss Hongyu, if you need anything, just tell us, don't worry about trouble."

Hongyu put an arm on the graphite and held her chin, "I have it now."

Ding Yixiu had never seen anyone who could talk to Zhao Wu like this, and he was filled with admiration.

Zhao Wu asked: "What's the matter?"

Ruby red lips lightly parted

, "Get out of my yard."

After Zhao Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily and walked out of the yard. Ding Yixiu, who was following Zhao Wu, quietly gave a thumbs up to Hong Yu. He is really a hero among women.

Liu Qingfeng in the room heard Zhao Wu's laughter getting further and further away, guessing that they might be leaving. When he thought that they had not been left to have a meal, he couldn't bear it. When he opened the door, Liu Qingfeng saw his wife. Sit on the graphite and look at yourself.

Walking to Hong Yu, looking at Zhao Wu and Ding Yixiu's leaving figures, she said in a regretful tone, "Madam, why didn't you leave two brothers to eat? You are really ignorant."

Hongyu covered her mouth and smiled, her husband was really kind-hearted, "Sister-in-law, if my cousin has something to do, he will leave first, so he won't leave them alone. By the way, what shall we eat tonight?"

Liu Qingfeng saw the backs of Zhao Wu and Ding Yixiu getting further and further away, "Everything you do is delicious."

This sentence made Hong Yu so happy that she temporarily stopped thinking about the Jin Yiwei, the Qin Tian Jian, and the chamberlain eunuch in front of her husband.

"I learned a new dish from Grandma Liu next door. Can you try it tonight?"

"Okay, you are a virtuous lady."

After walking out of the yard, Zhao Wu did not choose to ride a horse, but walked along Yuhua Lane with Ding Yixiu under the gaze of the people around him.

"How does it feel?"

Ding Yixiu took the Tang Dao behind his back and looked back at the direction of the yard, "In terms of lethality and cultivation level, I alone have the upper peak, but the difference between life and death is between five and five."

Zhao Wu nodded, "Of course it is. After all, he is the one who successfully escaped under Mr. Wudang Er."

Ding Yixiu frowned, "Has she fought Mr. Wudang Er?"

Zhao Wu continued: "It's just a secret thing, but it's not important. She had a few moves with Mr. Wudang Er, but she also suffered a lot of injuries."

Ding Yixiu now admires this Hongyu a little, because the second gentleman of Wudang is known as the person closest to his master, the old Taoist priest of Wudang.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really amazing."

Zhao Wu stood at the intersection of Yuhua Lane, with the sergeants staying here in front of him.

"How do you choose, go to the Imperial Guard Prison to kill those Taoist priests, or choose to kill Hongyu who was seriously injured after assassinating the imperial official?"

Ding Yixiu touched his chin and clenched the Tang Dao in his hand. It was better to go to Jinyiwei Prison to kill those Taoist priests than to kill a man who could even escape under Mr. Wudang Er, or to die.

"Since my father-in-law has already chosen it for me, right?"

Zhao Wu laughed and said, "It's good to talk to smart people. That's right. I still can't think of a way for you to come out alive from Jinyiwei Prison."

Ding Yixiu chuckled. What else could he do? Of course, it would be easier to kill Hongyu. When the master was alive, he had personally seen a star king go to Ziwu Lane, and then nothing happened. Anyway, Ding Yixiu never saw that person again.

"You go back first, I will find someone to inform you when the time comes."

After saying that, Zhao Wu glanced at Ding Yixiu meaningfully, turned around, mounted his horse and left.

The sergeants and guards behind him followed Zhao Wu closely, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ding Yixiu first pouted hard in the direction Zhao Wu was leaving, then glanced at the tofu stall in Yuhua Lane and left slowly.

Emperor Ming's birthday is coming soon, just three days from now

, it is also the day before the New Year.

Northern Qi had a deep hatred for the Ming Dynasty. The two countries had fought hundreds of battles since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Northern Qi was destined not to send anyone to the Ming Emperor's birthday. However, Southern Chu's relationship with the Ming Dynasty had eased over the years, so

After knowing that Emperor Ming was going to celebrate his birthday, Nanchu sent someone to submit his credentials and sent a princess and a prince from Nanchu as envoys to deliver gifts.

After reading the credentials, Emperor Ming was overjoyed and sent the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple out of the city to receive the visitors from Southern Chu.

Naturally, the Jinyiwei couldn't miss such an important event. Even Ma Shun, who was on a mission outside, was urgently recalled. The Jinyiwei dispatched most of them to arrest all the spies, both overt and covert.

Wang Yi and Li Yuan, led by Lu Zhong, stood at the west gate of Chang'an City, wearing fish-dragon suits and carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists, waiting for the arrival of the Nanchu delegation.

Zhou Liyuan was assigned to Ziwu Lane, where he guarded Jinyiwei's home with Wang Si and Qin Keqing.

Li Yuan's temperament is to do whatever he wants, so it would be difficult to make him wait for Nanchu's mission.

The west gate of Chang'an City has long since closed the road. Those who want to leave the city must wait for the Nanchu envoy to arrive before leaving, otherwise they can only leave Chang'an City through other gates.

Li Yuan was sitting on a chair, lighting up the stove leisurely. The day after the heavy snowfall in Chang'an City, it was still so cold.

He picked up a pot of strong liquor and poured it down his throat. Li Yuan burped very comfortably. Everyone in the Jinyi Guards present was not surprised. Mr. Li was very kind to them. When they drank together on weekdays, Li Yuan was the same.

Such a style.

As for the people from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, when they saw this scene, they all turned aside and chose to pretend to be stupid. The prince of King Yan was not easy to mess with. At that time, a censor impeached Li Yuan for being drunk and making trouble on weekdays and not observing etiquette.

As soon as he took the paper and handed it over, Emperor Ming directly sent someone to deliver the censor to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was very drunk at that time. When he heard about this incident, he was not angry. He smiled full of alcohol and took the censor to drink together all night.

On the second day, when the censor was sent out of Prince Yan's Mansion, he had not yet woken up. On the third day, the censor resigned and returned to his hometown without caring about worldly affairs.

On the third day, he happened to meet King Yan who was returning to Chang'an City from the border. After asking about the reason, King Yan just looked at him, and the censor was frightened to death.

Several ministers of the DPRK and China who were well aware of this period of history turned a blind eye to Li Yuan's behavior and secretly prayed in their hearts that when the Nanchu delegation came, this little ancestor would never cause trouble.

Wang Yi was sitting here because he was completely pulled over by Li Yuan, and Lu Zhong was with him. The three of them sat next to the stove, drinking wine leisurely.

The rest of the Jinyiwei also found an open space, lit some branches, and sat around to keep warm.

This is Wang Yi's request. The three of them cannot enjoy the blessing and let the brothers of Jinyiwei freeze in the snow. As for the reception, let the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple be busy, who dares to say no.

I met him directly in Jinyiwei Prison and my Lord Lu had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple dared to be angry but dare not speak out. Now that Jinyiwei has regained his status, two people will be granted the title of marquis, followed by the King of Yan. Who dares to offend?
