Li Qingmo poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in front of Li Beimu.

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. It is precisely because the situation in Ancheng is complicated that it is even more important to recruit new people. Su Sijin is ambitious and ambitious and will not care about the parties in the DPRK. This is the key. You need a group of royalists. Let's investigate first. If you can use , I will be transferred back to Beijing when the time comes, and if I can’t use it, I will just send it away from afar.”

Li Beimu understood.

It turns out that the emperor's uncle always picks people like this.

At noon, Deng, the newly appointed commander of the Ancheng garrison department, returned from Yangsou Mountain.

"At the end of the day, I will see the emperor and the regent." He knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Qingmo leaned back on the chair, keeping an eye on Nan Xi who was grinding medicinal materials next to him from the corner of his eye, and occasionally saw a touch of tenderness on his cold face.

Li Beimu looked at him subconsciously, but didn't get any response. He knew that the emperor's uncle had to deal with it by himself again.

"Have you found the person who shot the hidden arrow?" Li Beimu asked.

Deng Ziyang bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, there is none."

This answer is not very surprising, after all, Xia Rui has already led someone to search once before.

Li Beimu was a little unwilling to let this person run away, but there was really nothing he could do.

Nan Xi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Didn't you find anything?"

Deng Ziyang was just appointed by Li Qingmo. The previous commander of the garrison department and other former officials of Ancheng were being imprisoned, and he was also good at observing words and emotions. He had long seen that Li Qingmo valued Nan Xi. .

So when he heard Nan Xi's question, he didn't look down on it at all. He nodded and responded: "Miss Hui Nan, yes, I didn't find anything."

Nan Xi looked at Li Qingmo and Li Beimu and said, "We searched the mountain twice and found nothing. Could it be that this person never came down the mountain at all?"

Li Qingmo instantly understood what she meant, "Nan'er is saying that that person might be someone who was on the mountain at that time, an officer or soldier or a government servant?"

"Yes." Nan Xi nodded, "Otherwise, it is impossible for a person to walk without leaving any trace. Since two searches of the mountain yielded no results, this is the only possibility."

Li Qingmo also suspected this.

"There were thousands of soldiers and government officials responsible for sealing the mountain at that time. Wouldn't it be impossible to find out who they were?" Li Beimu said.

Li Qingmo directly called Lan Jue in and gave the order in a deep voice: "Send the order to set up the Ancheng Special Guards. All those who participated in the mountain closure last night came to their posts in full and were strictly registered. Each person will receive an extra half-year's salary."

"Yes, sir."

After Lan Jue went out, Nan Xi asked Li Qingmo: "Is it to call everyone together in the name of setting up a special guard to avoid arousing their suspicion?"

Li Qingmo rubbed her head: "Nan'er is really smart."

Li Beimu learned another trick, but there was still something he didn't understand: "Uncle Emperor, if you still can't find out who that person is?"

"If he is found, he will be dealt with strictly. Even if he is not found, he will be isolated with other people in the special guards. He will have no chance to contact the outside world. For the people behind him, it will be a waste, and the result will be There are only two kinds, one is to be given up, and the other is to be silenced. No matter which outcome is, for us, it is considered as the goal has been achieved."

Deng Ziyang bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

In just one afternoon, the Shore City Special Guard was established, led by Xia Rui, who was responsible for all subsequent operations of the Beishan Iron Mine.

Some people were dissatisfied with being suddenly transferred, but when they heard that they would receive an extra half-year salary after registration, the slight frustration in their hearts disappeared.

The next morning, Xia Rui came to report.

"Sir, two members of the special guard team disappeared last night, and their bodies were found under the back cliff."

This wave of silence has indeed come a bit quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Jue walked in from the outside.

"Sir, Your Majesty, the delegation from the Blue Bird Kingdom has arrived at Ancheng." Ancheng is the only way from the Jade Bird Kingdom to Dongyue Capital, but this time is a bit too coincidental.

"Where's Nan'er?" Li Qingmo asked.

Li Beimu: "Nan Xi and Wen Ying went to see those deaf-mute boys."

In the past two days, they ran there whenever they had time. Nan Xi even prepared a lot of medicine to reduce the pain of those teenagers as much as possible.

On the street, Nan Xi and Wen Ying just walked out of a clothing store.

"You are sending both medicine and cotton-padded clothes. I'm afraid even the regent has never received your warmth, right?" Wen Ying held a list in her hand, which was what they wanted to buy today.

Nan Xi took the list over and checked to see if there was anything left that he had not bought.

"He won't care about these things with those children. The money to buy these things was given by the prince. In fact, he is cold on the outside and warm on the heart. In his heart, he is very concerned about the country and the people. He feels very sorry for the children who were rescued from the iron mine. "

Wen Ying: "?"

The regent is worried about the country and the people, and feels sorry for those children?

Who believes this?
There were people in front of them clearing the way. They were all neatly dressed women holding weapons in their hands.

"Step aside!"

"Doctor, is there a doctor?"

They rushed past Nan Xi and Wen Ying and rushed into the pharmacy. One of them almost hit Nan Xi, but luckily Wen Ying blocked him.

Wen Ying glanced at the man, who glared at him fiercely.

"What are you looking at, you idiot!"

Wen Ying: "..."

Although she is not an official, no one has dared to talk to her like this since she can remember.

With a flick of his finger, a blast of energy hit the man's calf. His knees bent forward and he knelt directly on the ground.

Wen Ying chuckled: "Get on your feet, you're welcome. After all, I haven't prepared any New Year's money for you."

Nan Xi pursed her lips and snickered.

The man stood up and was about to hit Wen Ying. When Wen Ying raised his hand to fight back, Nan Xi also stepped aside to block him, holding the silver needle between his fingertips, ready to attack.

"You shouldn't be from Dongyue, right?" Although Nan Xi has never seen these people dressed up, he can make a rough guess, "She is a police officer, I am a gangster, and they are both from the imperial court. You must have beaten us." , can you still escape unscathed?"

She didn't reveal her identity completely, she only gave a general outline. As expected, the man's hand holding the handle of the knife paused, his eyes showing fear.

"Jingzhi, stop talking nonsense to them. There is no female doctor here. We have to look for her elsewhere." The person coming out of the pharmacy said, holding her arm.

Jing Zhi looked directly at Nan Xi: "You are a widower, you should know medicine, right?"

Nan Xi: "What to do?"

Jing Zhi stretched out his hand to pull her, but was stopped by Wen Ying.

"You dare to touch her and try." Wen Ying curled her lips, with untamable wildness in her brows and eyes.

Jing Zhi couldn't help but look at Wen Ying one more time.

Where had she seen these eyes before?
"My master is sick. I just want to ask her to see my master." Jing Zhi explained, the unkind tone had nothing to do with the word 'please'.

Nan Xi glanced at the sedan chair not far away. With such a big formation, even a fool could guess who was sitting inside.
