C336 Hidden officials

Within the store, the atmosphere was tense.

Xiao Wen looked at the bunch of fellows who pretended to be Confucian Scholars, but were actually rangers, and had a stern expression. And on the other side, the faces of Shangguan Waner and Yang Xiu, who were among the students, had already become deathly pale. Only Zhuge Liang maintained his composure and was not afraid. As for the remaining two students, Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu, they had already picked their attacking angles long ago, and were prepared to attack the flank of the group of Rangers.

"What should we do? Anthony, do you have a way to solve this problem? " Zhuge Liang pulled Shangguan Waner and Yang Xiu back a few steps, and after reaching a safe distance, he asked Xiao Wen who was guarding them.

However, Anthony was helpless. He took out a strange mechanism from within his robes and fiddled with it for a bit before assembling it into a small round shield with a sharp blade on the side. Next, he pulled out the specially made short sword at his waist and said, "If I were to equip the Heavy Armor Tower Shield that I once equipped when I was a centurion in the Empire, even if these people were to fight together, they wouldn't be my match. But with my current weapons, it's going to be very troublesome! "

Although he was wearing a leather breastplate that was used to protect him from the sharp blades, and a heavy armor made of several layers of silk, enough to withstand normal arrows. His current defensive capabilities weren't too bad either. However, compared to being fully armed, there was still a gap.

If he wanted to defeat them, it would probably be rather difficult.

"Then what should we do?" Zhuge Liang asked with a frown.

Although they and the others were the same as Anthony, they wore all kinds of protective gear when they went out. Including Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang, there were layers of protection. However, this was after all, not the battle between Hua Xiong and Hua Xiong. Even though they didn't have enough manpower, Zhuge Liang didn't have much confidence in fighting each other head on.

After all, the last time he encountered this kind of situation, was when Xiao Wen brought Guan Yu to the army camp to look for Uncle Li to see if he could get a military doctor to check on Guan Yu's condition, when he was surrounded by the northern troop.

That time, were it not for the fact that Uncle Lee had arrived in time to stop the soldiers who were guarding the military camp. With just the battle power of Xiao Wen and Guan Yu, it was simply impossible to be a match for that group of soldiers.

As for Zhuge Liang … He had never considered details as reliable fighting strength. It would be fine to let him do a sneak attack and restrain himself in Lv Bu's fight with Guan Yu, but let him go face off against this group of Rangers.

The front anus is impossible, and it's impossible to have the front anus for the rest of your life.

At the same time, the travelling adventurer also had a distressed look on his face.

Although they just received the money, and dressed up as the students of the Songyang Academy, they wanted to come and make trouble for Xiao Wen and the Songyang Academy, and even wanted to instigate conflict between the big size man and the Great Tang Dynasty.

If possible, he would directly kill Xiao Wen in exchange for more bounty. However, the foundation for all of this was established when they were able to safely retreat.

Originally, they had planned to pretend to be the students of the Songyang Academy, and directly enter the inn to start a dispute. And because Xiao Wen and the owner were trash, and had no choice, Xiao Wen would definitely intervene. Furthermore, Xiao Wen would find trouble with the Songyang Academy.

The good thing was that their goal at the start was the owner, so no one would suspect that they were targeting Xiao Wen. After all, they were not the ones who took the initiative to cause trouble for Xiao Wen, but Xiao Wen himself.

However, they clearly misjudged Xiao Wen's vigilance.

After all, according to the intelligence they had gathered, Xiao Wen only had two students who specialized in martial arts and a former guard officer from the countries of the Western Regions beside him.

Although they were experts in battlefield combat, they didn't know much about assassinations or street fighting.

After all, although this was also a battle, street fighting and fighting were two completely different systems.

But in reality, Xiao Wen was very alert to find their trails the moment they appeared, and his disciples had even surrounded them when these Rangers were arguing with their boss.

In this sort of situation, the ranger concluded that if he wasn't paying attention, he would be captured and use this as an interrogation to uncover the truth of the matter.

"This isn't good!" The chieftain thought. After all, even though they only took money to work, they still had to abide by their professional ethics, didn't they? Disclosure of employer information is certainly in violation of industry taboos.

If this scandal were to spread, what would happen then?

But just at that moment, Bi Cheng who was planning to settle the dispute peacefully suddenly realised that the other party did not plan to resolve the matter peacefully, his expression suddenly turned serious.

As someone who had managed a business in the Luoyang for such a long time, Bi Cheng was naturally not someone who could be easily bullied. However, he often didn't need to use any powerful techniques. After all, he was living in a fixed place. If he offended someone, his business would only get worse over time.

Thus, unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely wouldn't offend anyone.

However, seeing that the group of people dressed like the Confucian Scholars today did not come with good intentions, Bi Cheng's expression became cold.

He looked at the group of people and said, "Do you want to fight here? Do you know who I am? My grandfather is the head of Henan Prefecture, Lord Bi Zhuang. Are you all courting death by doing this? "

Hearing those words, everyone was taken aback. Even Xiao Wen had a look of enlightenment.

That's right! Although this Bi Cheng did not look that great, he was, after all, someone who had given up his future for the sake of the school's faith. And what kind of background would make it the easiest to develop such a personality? Of course, that was something that one was already accustomed to seeing power as a thing, a person who did not feel that power was precious anymore.

Although Bi Cheng's father and grandfather were not officials, his grandfather was a high official.

Bi Cheng's grandfather, Bi Zhuang, was a high ranking official of the Tang Dynasty in history.

Bi Xu's father, Empress Wu was Siwei Shaoqing.

Bi Zhuang six years old can write an article, to the weak crown when the scholar and, as the county captain of Jinshui, Kowloon main book.

His heart was in agony at the death of his loved ones. He was still living in the garden. Empress Wu summoned him to be the left pick.

Shen Long Yuan Year (705) to be promoted to Shu Shuai Ren.

At that time, Jinghui and the others had requested that the Wu Kings be downgraded, and Bi Jianping had announced the imperial edict. His voice was bright and fluent as he read and explained every sentence. Everyone who was listening at the side could clearly hear what he said.

Therefore, Bi Zhuang attracted Wu San-si's loathing, put it on the outside as the Renzhou assassins history, in the time of administration and love of the people. Since then, he has been promoted to the position of governor of Yizhou Province.

In the first year of Jing Yun (710), Bi Zhuang was recalled by Tang Rui Zong to serve as the left imperial physician to deal with the Wei party in Tang Long's coup. And then Henan Yin Li Jie, known as "Bi Li."

Become Shaanxi Province Thorn history, plus silver Dr. Qingguang Lu, Feng Wei County male. Not long after, he was appointed governor of Yizhou, and also served as an investigator of the south of the sword.

Due to his outstanding political achievements, he was exalted by Rui Zong's edict and awarded a seal and a robe.

Then recall Beijing worshiping the Minister of Household Affairs, transfer the Minister of the Department of Government, and long history of Yizhou, the governor of the Great Governor of Guangzhou.

Tang Xuanzong ascended to the throne, Bi Zhuang was transferred to Henan Province, and moved to the Ministry of Household.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan (716), Bikou fell ill. The emperor personally bestowed upon him handwritten prescriptions, which made him received an incomparable holy favour.

Later on, because people thought that the Minister of Revenue was a criminal official, it was very easy for him to die from various accidents after taking office.

The Tang Xuan Sect immediately changed him to the crown prince, hoping that he would be able to recover from his illness.

However, Bi Xu was still unable to resist the remnants of the Department of Household Science and the erosion of the power, ultimately still died of illness.

After his death, the Tang Xuan Sect gave him the title of Yellow Gate Overseer. It could be said that there was no regret in being an official.

Bi Xu not only has a lot of power in the government, in fact, he also has a certain position in the literary world.

Hearing that Bi Cheng had revealed his background, all the travelling adventurers revealed fearful expressions. Although they already knew that people who could do business here in the Luoyang had a backer. Otherwise, he would have been swallowed by others when he was first created. However, they didn't expect that this trash in front of them had such a huge background.
