Traveling through the world's first

Even though Shangguan Haitang was very confident in her adoptive father's martial arts, she still had to ask to feel at ease.

Zhu Wusi shook his head and said as he walked: "Fortunately, I did not underestimate the man sent by Cao Zhengchun. It turns out that he has already practiced his Heart-Breaking Palm to perfection."

Gui Hai Yidao stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Wouldn't it be enough if I kill Cao Zhengchun with one sword?"

He felt that his sword was now invincible and no one could withstand his blow, including Cao Zhengchun.

"Don't be too confident."

Zhu Wusi looked at Gui Hai Yidao and said as he walked: "Cao Zhengchun has practiced Tongzi Kung for fifty years. He is invulnerable to swords and spears. No one knows where his weakness is. Even I am not sure that I can kill him."

Shangguan Haitang next to her stepped forward and asked.

"But he is becoming more and more rampant. Not only does he control the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, he also creates many names in the court and sets up many departments, ministries and bureaus. He is expanding his power."

"His power will soon control the entire court, and then it will be easy for him to rebel."

Zhu Wusi hesitated for a few steps, seemingly thinking about something.

Duan Tianya asked from the side: "Foster father, didn't the emperor notice anything at all?"

Zhu Wusi turned around and said to Duan Tianya: "Tianya, you are still more careful."

"Back then, the late emperor feared that the young emperor would be bullied, so he granted me the Red Book of Iron and the Imperial Sword, and established the Dragon Guarding Villa to check and balance the power of the eunuchs."

"But the emperor is much smarter than I thought. He not only wants to use it to check Cao Zhengchun, but also use Cao Zhengchun to check me."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang and the other two all looked solemn and puzzled.

"The Emperor wants to use Cao Zhengchun to check and balance my adoptive father?" Shangguan Haitang felt indignant.

Zhu Wusi turned around and said, "Cao Zhengchun is a eunuch, he is extremely domineering, at most he can only use the emperor to command the princes. I am different from him. My surname is Zhu, and I am the emperor's uncle. If I rebel, it will threaten the emperor's position."

Duan Tianya and the other two looked at each other.

Shangguan Haitang said angrily: "The emperor actually doubted our loyalty, which is too much."

Zhu Wusi walked between them and said, "This is politics. As the emperor, he must balance the forces of all parties. He cannot let one force be too strong or too weak."

"In this way, he can sit in his position securely."

After saying this, Zhu Wusi had no expression at all, and it seemed as if he was instilling some ideas into the inner sanctum spies.

Duan Tianya behind him sighed: "So, all of us are just pawns of the emperor."

"This is the most difficult part of being a minister."

Zhu Wusi turned his back to everyone and said calmly, "I have to be loyal, but I also have to protect myself. I don't want to be a pawn sacrificed by the emperor..."

Duan Tianya nodded. His long bangs hung down on the right side, covering half of his right eye. He looked very handsome.

He said slowly: "That's why my adoptive father knew that Cao Zhengchun was killing loyal people, but he could only passively save them as he saw them."

"I'm waiting for him to touch the emperor's bottom line."

"What is the emperor's bottom line?" Shangguan Haitang asked Zhu Wusi.

Zhu Wusi turned around and said in a deep voice: "Only the emperor himself knows. If he is encountered, the emperor will immediately use me to kill Cao Zhengchun."

Duan Tianya drew inferences from one example: "If we touch the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will do the same and use Cao Zhengchun to kill us."

Shangguan Haitang on the side had a look of shock on her face, while Gui Hai Yidao had a blank expression on his face.

Zhu Wusi said slowly: "You are right."

That is his purpose.

To shape their values.

Let them know that the emperor is a cold-blooded person, and let Duan Tianya and others know that they may be killed at any time.

Therefore, they cannot be loyal to the emperor, they must be loyal to themselves!

Gradually, they will come to believe that the emperor is a scumbag.

"Doing things this way is really too restrictive." Shangguan Haitang has a straightforward personality, and the meaning of this sentence is very clear.

Zhu Wusi turned around and spoke again: "Politics requires balance and patience. It is definitely not a pleasant thing. It takes a long time to wait. Then it will bear fruit."

He turned to look at Duan Tianya and the other two and said slowly, "Just like how I trained you, it took me more than ten years to meet the requirements of my secret agents."

The three of them looked at each other, and Duan Tianya said, "We understand our foster father's painstaking efforts."

"Now we have no choice but to collect more intelligence and fight against Cao Zhengchun's conspiracy. At the same time, I need the two of you to look for another Yellow Number One. I need four secret agents to be enough for me to deploy."

At this time, Shangguan Haitang said, "I have been keeping an eye on Tianxia No. 1 Village for a long time, but to no avail."

"That just means we need more patience." Zhu Wusi turned around and said in a deep voice.

"You three were the candidates I selected from among four thousand orphans. It took me nearly five or six years to find Tianya. After that, I couldn't find a suitable candidate for the next four years. But I persisted and finally found you and Yidao."

Zhu Wusi looked at the three of them and nodded, saying: "To win, you must not just fight for the day, you must be able to endure and persevere, only then will success belong to you."

"Yes, foster father!"

......

At night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Hulong Villa Square.

In front of the huge stone dragon statue, Shangguan Haitang sat on the dragon's claw and looked at the moon.

"You still like to hide here and watch the moon."

A voice came from behind, it was Duan Tianya.

"Brother, you are the only one who understands me since I was a child." Shangguan Haitang, who was sitting, smiled slightly.

"When you were a child, every time you hid, the guards of Huolong Villa would look for you everywhere." Duan Tianya said in a deep voice.

The way he looked at Shangguan Haitang was like looking at his own brother.

"But I have to hide." Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly, "Only when I can see others and others can't see me, I feel safe."

"You still can't erase the shadow of the past." Duan Tianya said.

"If it were you, you wouldn't do that either."

Shangguan Haitang said slowly, and her thoughts were suddenly pulled back to more than ten years ago.

She lay in her nurse's arms, watching the killing outside and crying.

"Nanny, why do these people want to rob and kill people?"

The nurse said, "They are not human, they are beasts. Your father is a kind man, they thought it was fat meat and came to rob the Hai Family Fort outside."

"Remember this man, his name is Crocodile. He is the bandit leader."

After saying this, the nurse was chopped to the ground, and her life or death was unknown.

"Child, don't die. Don't die. Do everything you can to stay alive. Only by staying alive can you have a chance."

After saying this, he fell down and died.

She herself, under the advice of her wet nurse, pretended to be dead and escaped.
