Xu Lang was so cunning that when Qin Xun ordered him to lead the search for the official seal, Xu Lang knew it was just an excuse, just a reason to get rid of him.

Although Qin was young, it was impossible for him not to know the consequences of an official losing his official seal.

The first thing I noticed was the fact that there was a lot of people in the world who were not aware of this.

But after he left, he immediately sent a treasurer to the Treasury Department to report to Han Shu.

He said that Xue Keyu had brought his men to collect the weapons, but Qin took the opportunity to distract Xu Lang, who was not sure of his intentions.

The treasurer didn't know what Qin Xie's intentions were, but Han Zhou suddenly realized them.

He was almost paralyzed in his chair, horrified and remorseful.

He was horrified and remorseful. Xue Ke Yong went to the warehouse today, so he should have gone there himself.

It was only the last time that he was kicked by the Black King, and his body still hasn't recovered, he only thought that Xu Lang was there and things would be done smoothly, but now he finally understood that the young mandarin was obviously going to take advantage of today's opportunity to make a move.

The most likely way for Qin to distract Xu Lang is to use Xue Keyong to discover the inferior weapons.

Although he was horrified in his heart, Han Shu did not dare to delay and immediately called for someone, but he did not dare to make a fanfare so that the other divisions of the Ministry of War would be aware of the suspicion, so he only brought a dozen or so people from the Treasury Department, and took a carriage to Wude Square quickly.

The carriage was already running very fast, because the speed was too fast, and the wound on his back was quite painful, but Han Zhuyu discarded the carriage to run slowly, and urged loudly: "Quick, quick!".

More than a dozen officials from the Treasury Department followed the carriage, panting like cattle.

It is a good thing that the journey from Gongde Fang to Wude Fang does not require going through the downtown area, and the journey is smooth, but before passing through the other gates of Gongde Fang, the guards were surprised to see a group of small mandarins running after the carriage.

In front of the north gate of Wude Fang, there were four guards to the left and right, wearing swords at their waists and leaning on spears in their hands, and although the heavy gate was open, there was a fence across the entrance.

Even though the arsenal was under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department, even the head of the Treasury Department was not allowed to ride in the carriage. When Han Shu got down from the carriage, coincidentally, he saw a group of men and horses on the broad, straight stone path in the north gate of Wunderfang, coming this way.

The first one was riding a big horse with a tall head and a full suit of armor, which Han Shu had just seen at the Ministry of War two days before, and it was Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou camp.

When he saw Xue Ke Yong's convoy behind him, and that the car was carrying boxes, Han Zhou felt his legs go weak, and was barely able to keep his spirits up to greet him.

When Xue Ke Yong arrived at the north gate, a guard immediately went up to stop him to check the official letter, and Han Zhou also led a group of officials to the fence.

Xue Ke Yong handed the official letter to the guards for inspection, but did not dismount from his horse. He just rode on horseback and looked down at Han circa outside the fence with a cold and stern look.

"Commander Xue

!" Han Zhou barely piled up a smile and arched his hands.

Xue Ke Yong didn't even bother to return the gesture, just nodded slightly and said, "Why did Sir Han come in person?"

"Commander Xue is a minister of merit." Han Wu smiled, "This time I came to collect the weapons, and my servant is in charge of the Treasury Department, so naturally I had to come here personally to help select them."

Each of the eighteen states of the Tang Dynasty had its own Assassins, who were assisted by two deputies: Biejia and Chang Shi. Biejia assisted the Assassins in civil affairs, while Chang Shi was in charge of local military and security affairs.

The state camp of each state was under the jurisdiction of the Chang Shi, but it was the state army commander who directly commanded the local state camp, and the state army commander was responsible for the training and fighting of the army, but the state army commander could not mobilize the troops without the orders of the assassin and the Chang Shi.

Usually, without the official letter stamped by the military commander, the local state troops could not receive their pay and weapons.

Xue Ke-Yong was the commander of the army of Yu Prefecture, the largest of the eighteen states of the empire, with nine counties under his jurisdiction, so Han had the rank of military general from the fourth rank.

However, Xue Ke Yong was not inferior to him, and instructed Han to call himself a junior official in front of Xue Ke Yong.

"It's not necessary." Xue Ke used a cold tone: "The weapons have been received, and I am about to go to the Ministry of War to thank Dou Buntang."

As soon as he saw Xue Ke Yu's expression, he knew something was wrong, and was even more horrified when he saw Xu Lang follow the convoy and gesture to him.

The guards at Wunderfang were led by a captain from the military battalion, and it was the same captain who was inspecting the official letter.

The official letter clearly states the number of weapons that Xue Ke Yong will receive, and after receiving them, he must have the seal of the official of each store.

"How do you stamp a weapon that has not yet been collected?" Xue Ke Yong said.

The captain looked at the vehicles as if they were carrying weapon cases, but Xue Ke Yong claimed that he did not receive any weapons, so naturally he was lying.

The military guard battalion garrisoned Kyoto, and the captain, although his rank was far less than Xue Ke Yong's, naturally had no fear of the local state army, and his duty was to raise his hand and point at the carriage: "Is the carriage not a weapon?"

Xue Ke Yong shook his head and said, "No. If you want to know what it is, go open it yourselves. If you want to know what it is, go open the box and look for yourselves."

The lieutenant frowned, and Han Shu, seeing the situation was not good, had ordered, "Move the fence, I have something to say to Commander Xue." Although the guards here also knew Han Shu, but as a matter of routine, Han Shu still showed his seal, the soldiers moved away from the fence, Han Shu quickly stepped forward and arched his hand to Xue Keyou, "Commander Xue, may I have a word?"

He was barely able to play it cool, but his back was sweating.

The guards of Wunderfang were not from the Ministry of Warriors, but from the Wuwei battalion, which was under the control of the Southern Academy.

The Southern Courtyard was established during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, whose feats were comparable to those of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The Biggest Enemy.

After the establishment of the Great Tang, the attention has been on the southern border and Xiling, after the inclusion of Xiling into the territory, the empire's strategy has been to conquer the southern border, the northeast of the socks and chestnut people did not care too much, but the socks and chestnut people took advantage of the opportunity to expand, socks and chestnut five first to be unified, then in Liaodong city, and even frequently into the territory of the Tang, until the Tang conquered the southern border, socks and chestnut Bohai State has become a small tyrant of the northeast.

It took eight years for Emperor Wuzong to finally bring the Bohai State to its knees, during which time the South Academy's decisions played a major role.

The South Courtyard was initially composed of Emperor Wuzong's most trusted military generals and was established during the conquest of the southern border.

When the succeeding monarchs came to the throne, they made some changes to the South Courtyard, placing some civil officials in it, and although there were some ups and downs, the later monarchs kept the South Courtyard, which was still primarily a military force.

From the time of Emperor Wuzong, the Kyoto garrison battalion was put under the command of the Southern Academy, and all the successive commanders of the Kyoto garrison battalion were from the Southern Academy.

The first day of its establishment, the South Academy became a thorn in the side of the Ministry of Warriors, after all, the South Academy took away a lot of power from the Ministry of Warriors, which was to take away the cake that belonged to them from the hands of the Ministry of Warriors, and the hostility of the Ministry of Warriors was naturally clear to the South Academy, although everyone was quite amicable in the open, but secretly it was like water and fire.

The military battalion controlled by the Southern Academy guarded the arsenal under the Ministry of Warriors, which was supposed to be the court's maneuver.

Han Shu knew very well that once the armed guards opened the case and found the inferior weapons in the alley, the consequences would be unthinkable.

These guards will certainly report this to the Southern Academy quickly, and once the Southern Academy catches on to this, they will naturally take the opportunity to make trouble with the Ministry of Warriors.

So the box must never be opened.

Xue Ke use to see Han circa in front of his own humility, hesitation, finally turned over to dismount, Han circa see things have a turn of events, hurriedly raised his hand, please Xue Ke use to a secluded place, although know that a group of people see himself and Xue Ke use whispering is not good, but at this time can not care so much, barely smiled: "Xue Commander, those boxes ......? "

"Master Han, this general is straightforward and won't beat around the bush with you." Xue Ke Yong said indifferently, "What's in the box, you won't say you don't know, right? You are the commander of the Treasury Department, and the weapons that are brought in are not counted in other people's hearts, but if you don't count them in your heart, then it's really a joke."

Han Zhuyu said softly, "Since Commander Xue doesn't beat around the bush, I'll be straightforward and say that you can't transport these weapons."

"Of course I will not ship these weapons back to Yu Prefecture." Xue Ke Yong sneered, "If I were to distribute such weapons to my brothers, what is the difference between them taking such weapons to annihilate the bandits and sending them to their deaths? Lord Han, do you believe that they really have the guts to come directly to the capital with such weapons and sue the emperor."

"I believe so." Han Zhou accompanied the smile: "Commander Xue, there are many things that you don't understand. Let's put it this way, this is a matter of great importance, once it really comes to a head, I will naturally be unable to escape, but the Lord Commander will certainly be involved, and to put it bluntly, it's unknown whether Commander Xue will be able to leave Kyoto alive at that time."
