Have someone tidy up a room, I'll go rest in a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao said to An Wenjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wenjie puffed out his chest and responded with full energy, quietly winking at An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang shook his head secretly, squeezed his eyes, and gestured below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wenjie understood instantly, gasped, and ran out of the secret room to supervise Li Miao's orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving An Ziyang and Li Miao in this secret room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang didn't hesitate at all and smiled flatteringly at Li Miao: \"Sir, if you have anything to say, just speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killing, arson, cheating, I can do it all. Being your lackey, I'm happy to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao's grand battle with the \"Pupa Woman\" above, and the mysterious means of healing their father and son while talking and laughing just now, had made An Ziyang completely understand that he had no room to resist in front of Li Miao. His expression became more and more flattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being a lackey for a tiger is not a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to play dumb, you have to choose the right person. This pile of Ming Cult brats all died in your hands, and now playing dumb with me will only make me think you're treating me like a fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang looked shocked. Then his eyes filled with tears, and he actually shed a few drops from the corners of his eyes, as if he had suffered a great grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, these words are all sincere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't believe me, I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really believed that An Ziyang had already submitted to him, then these twenty years of Embroidered Uniform Guard work would have been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid looked slippery, but he was actually very tough inside. For someone like him, his attitude couldn't be too good, otherwise he would climb up the pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, Zhu Zai probably thought the same about Li Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang closed his mouth and didn't speak, his eyeballs rolling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao looked left and right and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your family's secret passage is built quite large. It's all-encompassing, almost digging out the entire underground of the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang smiled along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jianghu is dangerous, it's just a backup plan. Our father and son don't have much ability, we can only think more about hiding and escaping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao waved his hand: \"In this secret passage of yours, there should be a room for your father and son to hide when it's inconvenient to go out for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take me to the nearest one first to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang led Li Miao into a secret passage, turning left and right, and it took a cup of tea's time before stopping at one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first crouched down and lifted a stone slab, reached in and twisted it, and heard the sound of a bowstring loosening inside. Only then did he stand up, feel for an inconspicuous bump on the wall, and press it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall flipped, revealing a secret room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, this is it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao nodded, looked inside, smelled the smell inside, and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the next one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang roughly guessed Li Miao's meaning and didn't say much. The two arrived at the second secret room, and Li Miao still shook his head after looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked toward the third secret room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, two turns away, Li Miao said lightly: \"This is it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your martial arts are too poor, wait for me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he left An Ziyang behind and walked to a wall by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted: \"Sir, I haven't told you where the mechanism is and how to open it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao raised his hand and slapped the wall, his true Qi passing through the wall and directly damaging the spring mechanism inside. Then it was easily pushed open by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it opened, a sweet and greasy fragrance rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao tasted it, first smiled, and then for the first time seriously operated his circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fragrance was poisonous. More than ten times more poisonous than the Tang Men's pill poison. Li Miao could resist Gu poison, but this fragrance, if Li Miao really was arrogant and didn't care, he would definitely suffer a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just the concentration of this fragrance... it doesn't look like poison deliberately placed, but more like the body fragrance of a woman, naturally scattered in the air after living for a period of time. This secret room was not very ventilated, so it accumulated until Li Miao opened the door and rushed out all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This secret room was decorated quite well and was spacious. In the center was a desk, and in the four corners were piled some sundries, hidden weapons, weapons, silver, various clothes, etc., which should be preparations made by the An father and son for their escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most conspicuous was a clothes rack placed in the outermost part, on which hung a set of large men's clothes, black clothes and dark robes, trimmed with gold thread, not like the Central Plains style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the very top of the clothes rack hung a bronze mask with a note on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao stepped forward to take off the note and looked at it carefully. The handwriting was graceful and contained the following content:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Ji Tianrui' presents to Lord Li. If Lord Li is willing to raise his hand high, this thing can facilitate Lord Li's handover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao sniffed, the fragrance on this clothing was particularly heavy, as if it had just been taken off not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao smiled and put down the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Luohan bed was placed against the wall facing the door, and the bedding was still scattered on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao walked to the bed, lifted the bedding, and couldn't help but \"ho\" out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really hadn't seen such a messy bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw that under the bedding, there was a pile of food, a pile of finished food, a pile of unfinished food, and a few pens and a few mismatched socks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao hooked his foot under the bed and hooked out a pair of embroidered shoes, which were also crooked, and the heels were stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was far from what he had expected before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao smiled silently, threw down the bedding, turned around and walked to the desk again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the desk, besides pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there was a stack of draft paper with words written on it in the upper left corner, as if someone was just practicing calligraphy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao casually pulled a stack from it and looked through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill. Live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da Shuo. Zhu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor, heaven-level expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ming Cult, founding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were such incoherent words with scattered logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao vaguely sensed the connection between these words, and after sharing the bottom with Zhu Zai, he had been thinking about these things. These words helped Li Miao vaguely string together a vague line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled silently and turned to the last page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight characters were written with a pause, as if they were written involuntarily by the person writing them under the ups and downs of their mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matches up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the imperial court must have Ji Tianrui die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Tianrui, Ji Tianrui... should I call you Jipu Tianrui, Jipu Tianrui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or call... Gepu Tianrui, Gepu Tianrui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the Miao people collude with the Ming Cult, why did the imperial court have to have Ji Tianrui die, and why could Ji Tianrui connect the two distinct things of Gu technique and martial arts. Where did the Ming Cult's Wedding Dress Divine Art come from, and why were Gu soldiers and Miao Gu beasts of the same origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is all in the surname \"Ji\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji\" as a surname has little inheritance in Da Shuo. There are four origins written in the ancient books checked by Yin Minjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the other three, just say the last one—Jipu of the Wei State in the Spring and Autumn Period, which belongs to the surname based on the place name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wei State had a royal Jipu, which was the garden where the royal family used to plant fruit trees, melons and vegetables, or the garden for raising exotic flowers and rare birds and animals. The officials and servants who managed the Jipu were called Jipu clan, Jitian clan, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the descendants of the Jipu clan and Jitian clan, most of them were simplified into the single surname Ji and Tian, which have been passed down from generation to generation to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the surname Ji can also be said to be Jipu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jipu Tianrui is a pseudonym, in order to hide his origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the original name should be the similar-sounding \"Gepu\". Li Miao had encountered this surname in Pingshan Guard, Qilu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gepu clan, one of the twelve branches of the Miao people.\u003C\u002Fp>",1578,"2026-06-17T21:41:15.265Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","88840ed84cfd66a278f8dd50050f4637978e88e8da1956b665067ea8ff1a96c8","the-imperial-enforcer-with-an-eight-hour-workday-chapter-137","the-imperial-enforcer-with-an-eight-hour-workday-chapter-135",647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-imperial-hound-on-an-eight-hour-shift-cover.jpg"]
