On September 29th, there are three days left before the day when the Pure Land Sect Assassin asked for the killing.

It is late autumn and the weather is getting colder.

Zhou An woke up early in the morning in Chang'anyuan, Ganshou Palace, and went to Ganwu Palace to pay tribute to Empress Shen Zhao. By the way, Gu Huaiyong gave him gifts yesterday and hid money. Zhou An could have entered Ganwu Palace yesterday to talk about this matter, but Gu Huaiyong had just gone to "visit" him, and he immediately came to Ganwu Palace, which was suspicious.

Gu Huaiyong's eyeliner was everywhere in the palace, and Zhou An didn't want to reveal his flaws.

That's why he took the opportunity to pay homage to Empress Shen Zhao as soon as possible to bring up this matter.

After hearing this, the empress didn't say anything. Everyone understood Gu Huaiyong's thoughts. He gave Zhou An money, which made the empress feel relieved, because it showed that Gu Huaiyong didn't know what he had exposed and was still thinking about joining the Zonglianheng in the palace.

"Master, the gifts given by Gu Huaiyong will be sent to the inner palace when the slaves go back." Zhou An said respectfully behind the pearl curtain.

"Forgive it, you keep it." The empress said.

"Thank you for your reward." Zhou An thanked you for your kindness.

"What's going on in the assassination?" the empress asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, General Gao has sent someone to stare at Li Hubiao, and has not yet discovered that the Pure Land Sect and Li Hubiao are in private contact." Zhou An said respectfully.

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, the door of Qianyuan Palace opened, and a small eunuch bowed at the door and said, "Report to the Master, Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army, asked for a visit!"

"Xuan!" The empress said immediately, and got up from the dragon throne and walked out.

Zhou An lowered his head and gave way to the side, but did not leave.

Soon, a black-faced general with a beard entered the Qianyuan Hall. This person was Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army, a powerful man in the Earth Demon Realm, and one of the empress's confidants! In the Ganjing City, there were two extremely special imperial guards. One was the Empress's personal guard of the Shence Army and guarded the imperial palace, and the other was the Tiance Army stationed in the northern city of Ganjing City!

The Tiance Army had 20,000 troops, and its organization was the same as the imperial guards in the four cities in Ganzhou, but they were also directly dispatched by the empress.

If the Shence Army is the greatest guarantee for the Empress's safety, then the Tiance Army is the hope of the Empress's turnaround. Although the number of people is only 20,000, it is an excellent army. There are many martial arts masters in the army, and these 20,000 people are enough to compare with the other imperial guards.

"I will meet the emperor at the end, long live my emperor!" Su Chengguo knelt on one knee and greeted the empress.

"General Su, please get up quickly!" The empress walked out from behind the pearl curtain and asked anxiously: "How is the matter?"

"Master, the news has arrived." Su Chengguo stood up and said respectfully, "At present, 100,000 troops of the Chuanhe Army were parked in Gaoyang County, sixty miles away from the capital. The last general has read the imperial edict in public and asked them to go back... However, Cheng Huaiyuan, the chief commander of the Chuanhe Army, refused to return to Chuanhe immediately on the grounds that there was insufficient food and grass."

"Hmph! He is so brave that he dares to disobey the imperial edict!" The empress was angry.

"The Master, the last general has checked the food and grass brought by the Chuanhe Army. It is indeed not much, only enough for them to march for two days." Su Cheng National Highway.

The empress's face was cold and she pondered silently.

Zhou An stood aside and understood!

It was the troops dispatched by Wu Xukuan!

The Zhongzhou Army of the Donggan Empire was the core force of the entire Donggan, and the number of troops varies in each period. Today, the Zhongzhou Army has a total of 400,000, guarding the four places in the southeast, west and northwest of Zhongzhou. This time, the 100,000 Zhongzhou Army dispatched by Wu Xukuan were the soldiers stationed in the Chuanhe River in the north.

So it is also called Chuanhe Army.

Since the Chuanhe Army received the order of Wu Xukuan, they left Chuanhe and rushed to Ganjing. It took nearly half a month to enter and arrive near Ganjing! During this period, the Empress sent consecutive imperial envoys out of the city, trying to stop the Chuanhe Army and let them go back.

But it has not been done yet, and all the people sent out have disappeared.

The last special envoy sent by the empress was Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army. Although he stopped the Chuanhe Army, the Chuanhe Army also arrived, only 60 miles away from Ganjing City. Although the 100,000 troops were not fast, the sixty miles away was not a day for them to arrive at Ganjing City.

And if you leave all the food and grass behind and march for 60 miles, it will take only a few hours.

So, it is no different for the Empress whether the Chuanhe Army is in Gaoyang County, sixty miles away or just outside the capital!

It's dangerous!

"Let the Ministry of Revenue allocate food and grass for them! Let them return to Chuanhe as soon as possible!" The empress ordered.

Zhou An could feel her powerlessness and asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate grain and grass to the Chuanhe Army? Yes, it would be OK, but it would take a few days to prepare the grain and grass for a 100,000 army. However, the Ministry of Revenue had the final say, and the Ministry of Revenue is now controlled by Wu Xukuan!

...

The matter between the Chuanhe Army was not very close to Zhou An, and he couldn't help. He didn't think Wu Xukuan dared to rebel directly, and even if he dispatched the army, he wouldn't dare. Therefore, the empress still had time and Zhou An also had time, but there was not much time left.

In the next few days, the capital city was calm on the surface, but in fact it was a surging undercurrent.

The Chuanhe Army did not leave, and the 100,000 troops were only sixty miles outside the city. So many soldiers and horses, coupled with the imperial guards controlled by Wu Xukuan in the capital, were enough to allow Wu Xukuan to launch an armed coup directly. But he would not do this. It was the same reason. He directly rebelled and the world was in chaos!

In addition, the day when the assassin was about to be executed is coming!

Compared to the 100,000 troops outside the city, even if there are twists and turns to kill an assassin, it seems to be just a trivial matter.

But in fact, the impact is huge!

There will inevitably be a big thing happening when you ask the Sword Ri, and many people understand this.

In a blink of an eye, the second day of October, late at night.

Ganshou Palace, Chang'an Garden Sleeping Palace.

The candlelight is dim and silent.

Zhou An sat cross-legged on the soft collapse, clasped his hands together to form seals, his body was filled with blue air, and he remained motionless for a long time.

He is practicing!

In other words, it is practicing a small spell.

This spell is the second-most-difficulty little spell in the "Modern Revision of Small Swizards" and is called "Qi Observation Technique"!

It is extremely difficult to practice Qi-observing techniques. Even Zhou An has extraordinary cultivation talent for all the small spells recorded in "Little Sorrows", which took a lot of time. He has not yet practiced it. It has not been a day or two for him to practice Qi-observing techniques. He tried to practice Qi-observing techniques just after a few days of traveling over, but he has not achieved it.

The Qi-observing technique is not a killing technique, and it has no support for Zhou An's strength growth, but the effect is extremely magical!

Just one effect - observing the air!

People have aura, murderous aura, evil aura, resentment, bad luck, and joy. They are all qi! It is not really bad luck to say that a person is black when he is black. If he is really black, he can see it. There is no need to tell fortunes. The real Yin aura means that a person has bad luck, and this bad luck gathers on a person's forehead, and the color is black, so the Yin aura is black.

This is the effect of Zhou An’s qi observation technique!

If he succeeds in cultivation, he will be able to see the "qi" of people!

Recently, Zhou An has almost given up on the practice of other techniques and concentrates on practicing the qi observation technique. This is very important, because the assassin is about to be killed, and at that time, there will inevitably be people from the Pure Land Sect who robbed the Dharma field. I don’t know how many people will come.

Zhou An wanted to use his Qi-observing technique to judge the situation in advance.

There is no doubt that those people in the Pure Land Buddhism will definitely come with murderous aura. Zhou An can distinguish between them and prepare in advance.

This is not only to ensure the smooth progress of the questioning, but also to consider one's own wealth and life.

Time gradually came to the second half of the night.

Zhou An, who was shining with green light, suddenly moved. The seal made of his hands changed rapidly three times. Then he raised his right hand, put his fingers together, and wiped it horizontally in front of his eyes. Zhou An suddenly opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed through his eyes.

There is also an alias for the Qi Observation Technique, the Sky Eye Technique!

Whether you can see the air depends entirely on these eyes!

Zhou An stared at his eyes, his eyes turned, as if he was re-observing the world. Although the light was dim, he still saw that the world seemed to have more colors.

"Little Pavilion." Zhou An shouted.

"The little one is here." The sound of the small pavilion immediately came from outside the door.

"Come in and talk." Zhou Andao.

The little pavilion pushed the door and walked in, bowed and bowed to the soft collapse, and whispered: "Father-in-law, you give me instructions."

"Raise your head."

"yes."

The little pavilion looked up and looked at Zhou An.

Zhou An could see his "qi", which was some gray Qi, very thin, very peaceful, but also a sense of decline.

"But you are in good health?" Zhou An asked.

Xiaotingzi didn't know why Zhou An suddenly asked this, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm fine, I'm not in good spirits recently and I'm a little sleepy."

Zhou An understood that he just lacked rest because he always gave Zhou An night.

"Well... Thank you for your hard work in Xiaoting."

"It's not hard or hard, Eunuch Zhou, please tell me what the little one did wrong, and I will definitely change it." Xiaotingzi was frightened and knelt on the ground. Zhou An suddenly praised him, making him uneasy.

"Look at how can you, a timid person, succeed in the future." Zhou An smiled, "Get up, our family depends on how hard you have to keep guarding our family for the hard work. There is no other intention. Go and rest. Let's change someone to watch our family's night. In addition, you can also take some of the rest incense we use, which is good for sleep."

"Yes...yes! Little, little Eunuch Xie!" Xiaotingzi seemed to be moved, kowtowed to Zhou An before getting up and leaving.

*******

On the third day of October, the day of the assassin's killing has arrived!

Early in the morning, Zhou An met with Gao Hong and went to Tianzhu to pick up people. Everything was ready. The assassin Cao Jing was pulled out and he had to parade the streets first and walk around Qianjing City. Only at noon would he be sent to the court. At noon, he would be killed when the yang energy was the heaviest!

On the way to Tianzhu, Zhou An and Gao Hong were in front and followed a group of Shence Army guards.

I don’t know why, since Gao Hong met Zhou An today, he has been worried.

"Old Gao, are you nervous?" Zhou An asked with a smile.

He is this joke, how could Gao Hong be nervous? He has experienced many strong winds and waves!

Gao Hong looked at Zhou An with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhou An asked again, thinking that Gao Hong was in trouble.

"Xiao Anzi..." Gao Hong took a deep breath, stopped, and waved behind him.

The Shence Army guards all hid far away, leaving only two people in their place.

"What happened?" Zhou An looked at Gao Hongwen, frowned.

"Actually, it's not much." Gao Hong looked at Zhou An, looking at him but stopped, and said, "These days, I have sent someone to stare at Li Hubiao, but I have not found out that the Pure Land Sect contacted him."

"Well... are you worried that the Pure Land Buddhism will not rob the Dharma field today?" Zhou An asked.

Gao Hong shook his head and then said, "Three days ago, Li Hubiao brought people to seal the Zuihua Tower in Xicheng. It was one of the best brothels in the capital. He took Xiao Fengxian, the top-notch Qing Gong from Zuihua Tower and sent it to Wu Xukuan's mansion."

"Ah?" Zhou An was stunned for a moment before asking, "What's wrong with this?"

He didn't understand the meaning of Gao Hong telling him this. What's the point of Wu Xukuan talking about to find a girl?
