Chapter 12 First meeting(1/2)
At night, the streets of Yujing are bustling with traffic, and clusters of lanterns hang high in the streets and alleys, illuminating the entire city of Yujing.
Pedestrians carry swords and sabers, showing high spirits.
City guards wearing black robes patrolled the crowd in groups of three.
The sounds of sales from shops or stalls on both sides can be heard constantly, and pedestrians walking together chatting and laughing, each having their own fun.
Eight people from Guo Chi formed a circle and protected Chu Zhiyuan in the middle.
Chu Zhiyuan strolled around the courtyard, activating the Dragon Transformation Technique as he walked, trying to master the first level as soon as possible and then start the Qi Cleansing Technique.
He found no one following him and was completely relieved.
It seems that the Zhenwu Division has dealt with the stalker.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the Zhenwu Division.
——
Liuyun Tower has three floors, with three overlapping gate towers and three floors of cornices. It is so majestic and powerful that it reaches straight into the sky.
You can see it standing in the night sky from a distance, with bright lights, the sound of silk and bamboo and sweet laughter floating out, just like a palace in the sky.
Chu Zhiyuan wore a white mink fur coat, a jade belt, and a white jade hat. He walked calmly and exuded grace and elegance.
When Guo Chi and the other eight arrived at Liuyun Tower, four masters from the Zhenwu Division were already waiting there.
A middle-aged man in gray robe came up to him, cupped his fists and said, "But the fourth prince?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
"The boss is already waiting for you, Your Majesty, please." The middle-aged man in gray robe bowed and led the way.
Zou Fang stepped forward.
He wanted to conceal his identity, so he didn't bring a white jade whisk. He wore a blue robe, a white face and no beard, and looked like a rich man.
Chu Zhiyuan followed, Feng Xi protected behind him.
Guo Chi did not move and hid in the dark with eight palace guards.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly climbed up the stairs and had already seen the entire Liuyun Tower, seeing and feeling everyone clearly.
His attention quickly focused on a room on the third floor.
The window of the room on the third floor faces the street outside, and half of the entire Phoenix Street can be seen.
Sitting in the Grand Master's chair near the window was a middle-aged man with an astonishing face, sullenly scanning the files in his hand.
Wearing a sky blue robe and a snow-white sword, his whole body was spotless.
The body is sitting upright like a strong pine tree, the eyebrows are trimmed and the eyes are bright, the light between the eyes is shining like substance, and the momentum is strong.
In Chu Zhiyuan's eyes, in the void three feet above his head, there was a white crane standing on one leg. It was completely white and flawless, with a red crown and a long beak like a sword.
The white crane fluttered twice from time to time, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly away at any moment.
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
This grandmaster should be Jiang Qiuge.
Four middle-aged men in black robes were guarding the stairs on the third floor, with solemn expressions, and their cold eyes glanced at Chu Zhiyuan and the others.
Chu Zhiyuan secretly sighed: Four more masters, this Chief Jiang is so powerful.
This is the power of power, so fascinating.
There are elegant single rooms on the third floor with excellent sound insulation. Once the door is closed, outsiders cannot see inside or hear anything going on in the room.
The middle-aged man in gray robe led him outside a house.
A young girl in green clothes stood at the door, with a beautiful appearance and graceful figure like a willow branch in the gentle wind. She was standing still but seemed to be swaying.
The middle-aged man in gray robe cupped his fists: "Miss Huang."
The girl in green clothes nodded slightly, bowed to Chu Zhiyuan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me, little girl."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded and waved his hand to Zou Fang and Feng Xi.
He was astonished that the girl in green clothes in front of him was almost the same age as himself, but she was already born perfect.
I have super senses and the miraculous skills of the Mingwu Palace. Could it be that the girl in green also has a special skill that can help speed up her practice?
The world is so vast that it is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
I originally thought that Jiang Qiuge was already strong enough, but now it seems that in terms of cultivation talent, this girl in green is probably three points stronger.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the house.
The handsome middle-aged man put down the file, stood up and clasped his fists with a smile: "Don't be surprised if you miss me from afar."
"Chief Jiang, you're welcome." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists.
Both of them were smiling, but each found that the other's eyes were calm, as if they were quietly observing and examining themselves.
"Your Majesty, please." Jiang Qiuge stretched out his hand.
The two of them sat down, and Chu Zhiyuan sat in the Taishi chair opposite the round table.
The sandalwood round table can accommodate more than a dozen people sitting around it, with the two people far apart.
The girl in green brought the cup of tea and stood aside to serve it.
The two of them sat down and exchanged a few words.
Jiang Qiuge's smile was as bright as spring breeze, without any hint of arrogance.
Chu Zhiyuan was also gentle and calm, without showing off to the prince.
The atmosphere in the house was peaceful, and the guests and hosts were chatting happily.
After a while, Chu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and looked at Jiang Qiuge seriously: "Master Jiang, have you caught those sneaky people?"
Jiang Qiuge said solemnly: "Your Majesty has been of great help this time. I have submitted a petition for credit to the Audit Department."
"Who are they?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Asking for help from Zhenwu Division also had this reason.
The Zhenwu Division is extremely strict and fair about meritorious service. It can be perfunctory and confusing in other aspects, but there is no ambiguity in meritorious service.
This is not the case with Zongzhengsi.
Jiang Qiuge said solemnly: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Jade Cauldron Sect?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
"These are the evil disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect. How did the prince discover them?"
"My cultivation level is not strong, but my senses are more sensitive than ordinary people's. It's a kind of mysterious sense."
"This is a rare talent. With this talent, the prince will be safe."
"In front of the cultivation level, it is not worth mentioning," Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said solemnly: "Who is the Jade Cauldron Sect?"
"The Jade Cauldron Sect is a top evil sect with a great master. It was originally wiped out by the Zhenwu Division in collaboration with the four major sects and six major sects. Unexpectedly, it would resurrect thirty years later!"
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
That happened thirty years ago, before I was born.
But since it's an evil sect, it's really troublesome.
Evil sects are different from demon sects.
The so-called Demon Sect is similar to the Yao Yue Gong and Wuyou Sect. Their actions are both good and evil. Their exercises lead to impulsive temperament. There are many cases of committing crimes and crimes, but they rarely involve human lives.
The evil sect is completely different.
He once heard Zou Fang mention it.
These evil sects are truly and completely anti-human.
What they did was cruel and bloody that ordinary people could not imagine. It would not be a pity to die ten thousand times.
The evil of the evil sect is also rooted in the practice.
After practicing this kind of exercise, you will naturally become cold, numb and cruel, slowly lose your humanity, and regard human life as nothing.
However, the Jade Cauldron Sect was able to survive despite being wiped out by the joint forces, and was able to revive from the ashes. It was obviously extremely cunning and extremely powerful.
Being targeted by such an evil sect is really troublesome.
Even if there are three grandmasters to protect him, they can't give him a sense of security.
Thinking of this, his face darkened.
Jiang Qiuge seemed to see through Chu Zhiyuan's worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the whole family is ready."
"After this nest, are there other nests? I'm afraid it won't be that easy to clear out...why are they following me?"
Jiang Qiuge's face darkened and he said slowly: "I want to kill the prince."
To be continued...
