When Wang Qi'an saw Qian Hong coming, he kowtowed hurriedly:
"Wang Qi'an met with the Holy One and lived up to His Majesty's command, and has brought Qian Sui back."
Although Qian Sui also knelt down and kowtowed with Wang Qi'an, he didn't know how to salute and was speechless.
Qian Hong helped the two of them up and looked at Qian Sui carefully.
When he saw that Qian Sui not only resembled him somewhat, but also the charm of his mother could be seen between her features, he couldn't help but arouse his feelings from that time.
Qian Hong recalled:
"Your mother left without saying goodbye, which is why we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."
Qian Sui saw that what he said was emotional, and when he thought of his deceased mother, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and finally whispered: "Father!"
Qian Hong put his arm around his shoulders and said warmly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, from today on, my father will compensate you twice as much.
He said to the old eunuch next to him who had just led Wang Qi'an and his wife through the door:
"Eunuch Liu sent an order to Zhongshu Province to prepare an imperial edict.
The Jin Dynasty granted Qian Sui the title of Prince Hui, and granted him the palace of Prince Hui. He was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, a hundred bolts of silk and satin, and ten boxes of pearls and jade. The rest of the carriages, horses, palaces, and etiquette followed the princely system. "
Eunuch Liu then left with the two eunuchs.
Fan Liu said on the way that he would soon know who the real owner of Prince Hui's Mansion was, and Wang Qi'an finally understood what he meant.
It seemed that Qian Hong had already made a plan, and it was not a sudden move.
Qian Hong then ordered to the leader of the row of black leopard helmets on the left:
"Commander Qian, please take His Royal Highness Prince Hui around the palace to get familiar with it.
Then he will lead the Black Panther Cavalry to escort him back to Prince Hui's Mansion. If anything happens, you are the only one to ask.
You go down first, I and Prince Wang have other things to discuss. "
After Qian Sui and others went out, Qian Hong turned to Wang Qian and said:
"The trip to Yangzhou, I wonder if the journey will be smooth?"
Although Wang Qi'an didn't know why Qian Hong wanted to pay Qian Sui, he didn't care.
He did not answer directly, but asked:
"After I left, did the Holy One reveal anything about Qian Sui to anyone?"
Qian Hong's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and he said calmly:
"Why did Prince Wang say this?"
Wang Qi'an observed his words and knew that it was not appropriate to ask further questions, so he had to tell everything about the successive attacks on his return trip.
After Qian Hong heard this, his face darkened, he stretched out his hand to summon someone, and said:
"Spirit Bat, can you tell who did what Mr. Wang said?"
A tall old man in black robe who was originally standing next to the steps came forward respectfully and said:
“Judging from Prince Wang’s description, the people with the most obvious identities are those at the inn.
Wei Chen can conclude that the man in gray robe must be Guangji, known as the "Walker without Eyebrows".
This person has a weird personality. He claims to be a refuge in my Buddha, but he behaves in a unique way. He uses his eyebrows to replace his head and shaves his hair to replace his hair. Therefore, he is not recognized by various Buddhist sects.
The two young men who wield spears should be disciples of Xu Mao, a master from the north, the "Spear Sect". It is said that this sect is the best at joint attacks, so most of their disciples are twins.
Who Guang Ji works for has not yet been found out, but the disciples of Mao Zong have just joined Prince Ping's palace recently. "
Prince Ping is the second prince Qian Cong, who Wang Qi'an saw at the city gate today.
Qian Hong's expression became increasingly grim.
The spirit bat continued:
"The three ghost beasts that appeared in the ruined temple are extremely evil people with notorious reputations in the world. They have not been seen for many years due to the joint efforts of the three gangs of the five Bai Dao sects to hunt them down.
Rumor has it that only great wealth can move them.
The three of them had strange looks, and as soon as they appeared in our country, they were targeted by Wei Chen's spies.
It's just that the three of them are highly skilled in martial arts and appear and disappear from time to time, making them difficult to track.
However, the general manager of Prince Ping and the spotted leopard Ao Rong, the boss of the three beasts, had both appeared in Tianmu Temple in the west of the city. "
Qian Hong finally moved and showed a sullen expression.
Wang Qi'an guessed that this person should be Qian Hong's intelligence chief, otherwise how could he know everything about it.
Seeing that Qian Hong was still silent, the spirit bat seemed to be waiting for him to finish his words, so he continued:
"As for the three people who attacked Yangtze River, because their heads and faces were covered, they can only be inferred from their weapons and moves.
Although Wei Chen has suspicions about the subject, he is not completely sure about it, so he dare not make any hasty conclusions. "
Qian Hong said coldly:
"You don't have to worry, just tell me what you think. I will make my own decision."
Wang Qi'an felt a strange feeling in his heart. Qian Hong in front of him became very strange, completely different from when he first met him.
What I saw in Shuiyue Temple was a humble, gentle and passionate scribe.
What he saw at this moment was a sinister and ruthless ruthless hero.
The spirit bat glanced at Qian Hong, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"There is a man next to Prince Ping who is very good at hooking, nicknamed Silver Hook Soul Seizer, and the man who uses the sword... ahem... His Royal Highness Prince Ping's sword skills are so powerful and concentrated that there are probably very few people in Qiantang City who can rival him.
However, Wei Chen believes that based on this alone, it is difficult to conclude that the masked man who attacked the Yangtze River was them. "
Qian Hong finally couldn't help but Long Yan said angrily:
"Humph, this treacherous son refuses to change despite repeated advice. Leaving aside the Yangtze River, just the matter of the inn and the mountain temple cannot be spared lightly.
When someone comes, pass my command and order Laoxiong to send the imperial army to blockade Prince Ping's Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. "
He returned to the desk, wrote a book, stamped it with the royal seal, and handed it to the spirit bat:
"Take my handwriting, go to the city defense camp immediately, secretly capture the general Wen Guting, and take him to the sky prison to wait for his fate."
After the spirit bat led the order and left, Qian Hong pondered in front of his desk for a long time before turning back and approaching Wang Qi'an again.
"Didn't you just ask me if I had disclosed the Qian Sui incident to anyone?
I did mention it to two people, and it was intentional. "
Wang Qi'an was shocked and asked in confusion:
"Why did the Holy One do this?"
Qian Hong's eyes shot out a cold light and he said solemnly:
"Because I want to test who these two people are loyal to. Now I already know the result."
Wang Qian realized:
"So, one of them must be Wen Guting, the city defense battalion commander who the Holy One just ordered to arrest."
Qian Hong regained his composure and said with admiration:
"That's right, these two people are Lai Xiong and Wen Guting. One of them commands tens of thousands of imperial troops, and the other holds 30,000 soldiers guarding Qiantang. They have to guard against them."
Wang Qi'an said puzzledly:
"Since the Holy One doesn't trust them, why not choose someone else."
Qian Hong shook his head:
"These two people have been fighting with me in all directions since they were young, and they have been through life and death. If they had not been close to my two sons in recent years, I would not have any suspicion."
Wang Qi'an finally understood that Qian Hong was beginning to worry about his son threatening his throne.
He felt cold in his heart. In order to test the loyalty of his subjects, this man actually risked his own son's life.
Qian Hong's eyes suddenly brightened and he said in an excited tone:
"After this incident, it has been proved that I really did not misjudge the person. You have a deep connection with Buddha, and you can be a blessing to people and gods, and you have repeatedly turned danger into safety."
Wang Qi'an felt like he was being used, and his favorable impression of Qian Hong dropped greatly.
Qian Hong said again:
"Next month will be the 40th anniversary of the founding of East Vietnam, and a ceremony to worship heaven will be held at Tianmu Mountain.
I have decided to make you the Grand Tutor, and you will accompany me to pray for Dongyue. "
