In the northwest corner of the palace, there is a group of small bungalows that seem very ordinary in the palace. The people entering and leaving here are basically eunuchs and palace maids, but here is actually a spy organization controlled by Emperor Dayue, where the darkroom is located.

The status and role of the darkroom and the daily work they do make anyone stay in this position basically tremble. He walks on thin ice. If there is a slight mistake, he will disappear silently in the huge building complex of the palace. Over the years, very few people who have been able to do this position for many years. Gou Jing is an exception. When the old emperor was alive, he was very favored. Although there was no name among the high-ranking officials and nobles of Dayue, those who were qualified to know him understood that this person's power was so great that it was eye-catching. Li Jian's coup in the Shangjing was extremely easy, because of his participation and assistance, and he kept the chief assistant Cao Yi, General Guan Pengju, and the emperor on the sickbed at that time.

Everything went smoothly. The only surprise was that Li Si, who should have been caught, ran away. But this little accident caused a huge flaw in this perfect coup, and this flaw became increasingly bigger, and eventually turned this perfect government into a complete failure.

As the leader of the arrest of Li Si, it is no surprise that Gou Jing was pissed off by the emperor.

He planned hard and tried his best to arrest him thousands of miles, but in the end, Li Si disappeared under his nose. This failure brought Gou Jing not only a sense of spiritual frustration, but also completely defeated him from the body.

Gou Jing was several years older than the old emperor Li Jia. The thousand-mile pursuit in the cold winter made his already fragile body finally break the last string. After returning to Beijing, Li Jian's thunderous anger frightened him again. Finally, he couldn't get sick.

His fall, and the darkroom fell sharply. Li Jian no longer trusted this institution that made contributions to his throne during his seizure. The darkroom that was neglected was immediately suppressed in all aspects. Originally, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court hated this institution. In the past, when the old emperor was alive, they did not dare to move, but now there is no reason not to beat the dog in the water? No one would like an institution that would set up spies by his side without knowing it. The existence of the darkroom has long been unhappy for many people.

The funds for the darkroom were cut, personnel were laid off, and the once prominent spy agency of Dayue quickly declined. What's more serious is that Li Si's Luowang developed rapidly under the leadership of Qin Rounniang, which of course was due to Qin Rounniang's identity. The identity of Li Xiao's concubine was that she could get the resources she wanted. In Li Si's system, Qin Rounniang responded to the darkroom with a full-scale attack. The ones that could be bought were bribed and were included in the army. The ones that could not be bought were killed and the institutions of the darkroom were quickly smoothed out by Qin Rounniang.

When the darkroom was struggling, the military officer of the Zhengbei Governor's Office intervened again and gave them a last blow. Under the command of Hong Anbang and Zhang Lihua, the military officer intervened strongly in the Central Plains. While fighting against Qin Rouni's net, he rushed to clean up the institutions outside the darkroom, so that the famous darkroom could only control Shangjing and lost all the networks outside.

Li Jian probably didn't expect that his inadvertent neglect and reprimanding Gou Jing made his subordinates spare no effort to suppress the darkroom, and eventually led to him becoming blind and deaf. This was also a cocoon.

Gou Ping is the deputy of the darkroom that Gou Jing has worked hard to support. When Gou Jing was out, Gou Ping was in charge of the darkroom affairs. After Gou Jing fell ill, all his power was transferred to Gou Ping's hands. After controlling the darkroom in full, Gou Ping finally found that the darkroom was about to be finished.

As an old man in the darkroom, an old spy who contributed his life to this institution, he was unwilling to let the darkroom fall like this. He came to Cao Yi, and Cao Yi, who was trying hard to take the darkroom for himself, was sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. How could he not be overjoyed? The two sides hit it off.

Gou Ping was not afraid of who to serve the darkroom. He only needed the darkroom to have the glory of the past, but he did not expect that an important condition for Cao Yi was to kill Gou Jing.

A small bungalow was hidden in the dense pine forest. The snow covered the pine forest and a thick layer was accumulated on the ground. Gou Ping walked around the small bungalow several times, but he still didn't have the courage to walk in.

In this small house, Gou Jing lives in it.

The door of the small bungalow creaked open, and a little eunuch with a handsome face walked out, "Master, please come in."

Gou Ping raised his head and looked at the little eunuch. He didn't see anything from the other party's face. After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and walked into the small house.

Gou Jing was lying on the bed. He was already thin, but now he was like a skull. His eye sockets were deep and he lay in thick cotton wool. He could only see him breathing once for a while. He was already far away from the sky and the earth.

"Sir!" Gou Ping knelt in front of the bed, leaning his hands on the edge of the bed, and calling softly.

Hearing Gou Ping's call, Gou Jing turned his head with some difficulty, looked at Gou Ping with a tangled corner of his mouth, and seemed to have a smile, "Is there anything difficult to decide? Is it that you are wandering outside?" Gou Jing's voice was almost unheard.

"Yes, sir!" Gou Ping lowered his head.

"What's the matter?"

"The survival or destruction of the darkroom!" Gou Ping raised his head and plucked up his courage.

Gou Jing closed his eyes, Gou Ping could clearly see that the cotton wool was fluctuating.

"Help me up." Gou Jing said softly.

"Yes!" Gou Ping stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, helped Gou Jing up, and let him lean in his arms.

"Did you go find Cao Yi?" Gou Jing's tone was extremely calm, as if he was narrating an extremely ordinary thing, but in Gou Ping's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. He almost wanted to throw Gou Jing away, escape from the room, and his body trembled. Gou Ping finally forced himself to calm down.

"Yes, sir!"

Gou Jing smiled, "Although I am lying on the bed and I am about to die, I can't hide anything in the darkroom from me." He said lightly.

Sweat dripped from Gou Ping's face.

"Do you know why you are still alive and can still walk into this small house?" Gou Jing asked.

Gou Ping lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Because you really want the darkroom to survive. You are better than me!" Gou Jing said: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought the darkroom to this point for my own selfishness."

"Sir!" Gou Ping's tears fell, "The adults devoted themselves to the darkroom, and everyone can see it."

"But the darkroom was still destroyed in my hands!" Gou Jing shook his head.

"What conditions did Cao Yi put forward to make you so embarrassed?" Gou Jing asked.

"He wants me to kill the master!" Gou Ping did not dare to hide it and told him frankly.

Gou Jing laughed, "I am honored and honored. I didn't expect that I would be a dying person. I could still be valued by the Chief Minister of the Dayue Dynasty, and I was willing to kill me."

"Don't worry, even if I can't cooperate with him, I will not touch my hair." Gou Ping mustered up the courage.

"You are wrong!" Gou Jing said lightly: "If I don't want to die, I can't touch me even if you kill me, but now, I really don't want to live anymore, so you can kill me."

"Sir!" Gou Ping was completely stunned.

"What are you going to do after killing me?" Gou Jing continued to ask.

"Sir. I..."

"Say!" Gou Jing's tone was irrefutable.

"Yes, I'll die. I will cooperate with Cao Yi to help him control the capital. The emperor will definitely lose when he leaves the capital. At present, we can only follow Cao Yi to have a way out and let the darkroom regain the glory!" Gou Ping said.

"You are wrong again, Gou Ping!" Gou Jing said: "Follow Cao Yi, the darkroom will not reappear in its former glory, and will soon perish."

"Why sir?" Gou Ping asked in confusion.

"Cao Yi colluded with the Fourth Master now, right?"

"yes!"

"Then tell me, when the Fourth Master entered Beijing and became the emperor, would he use our darkroom? It was our darkroom that made the Fourth Master lose the throne and even suffered from our pursuit of thousands of miles. Do you think the Fourth Master would forget these things?"

If you sweat like slurry.

"This is not the most important thing! The most important thing is that under the leadership of that woman, the fourth master's net is now far more powerful than the dark room. If there is no such net, we will still be useful to the fourth master. With the fourth master's personality, even if he is unhappy, he will leave a dark room. However, with the net, the dark room will not be necessary."

"Sir, I'm not thinking well, so I will refuse to cooperate with Cao Yi."

Gou Jing shook his head: "Gouping, you should think more about your work in the future and use your brain. Now, in the capital, if nothing unexpected happens, Cao Yi has already controlled most of the power, and the net must have sneaked into the capital. If you don't defect to Cao Yi, the first one to perish is the darkroom, so the cooperation with Cao Yi continues."

"Then we are just a dead end, why do we still have to serve them?" Gou Ping almost burst into tears.

"Time, cooperate with them to get time." Gou Jing said: "While doing things for Cao Yi, you quietly hide the essence of the darkroom and let them sink into the water. The secret files in the darkroom are more important and must be hidden. These things must not fall into the hands of the net."

"What should I do after hiding it?" Gou Ping asked.

"Wait for the opportunity, Luowang doesn't need a dark room, but there are still people in this world who need it. Have you remembered it?"

Gou Ping pondered for a moment and said in surprise: "Judan Fangsi?"

"Yes, Zhengfangsi. In the process of helping Cao Yi with them, Cao Yi will inevitably relax the monitoring of you. You can use this time to finish what I said, and then when Luowang takes action against you, you will all disappear and join Zhengfangsi, the powerful operational power of the Darkroom in the capital, and these secret files involving countless high-ranking officials and nobles. Zhengfangsi will definitely be interested and they will accept you. This is the only opportunity for the Darkroom to exist."

"I understand, sir. sir, if it weren't for you, I would have taken the darkroom step by step into a dead end without knowing it."

"I finally understood a lot in bed in the past two years. Gou Ping, I did something wrong for the only cigarette in my Gou family. Now I am about to die, and I still can't let it go. You must protect my nephew and let him live a peaceful life."

"Don't worry, even if I die, I will do this."

Gou Jing nodded, "Little grid, bring the medicine!"

The little eunuch lowered his head and brought the warm medicinal soup over the charcoal fire.

"Gouping, feed me. After taking this bowl of soup, I will go to bed! I will never wake up again!"
