In the capital, at night, in the imperial palace, in the study room.
Liu Huang, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, received a tip.
"The leader of the Suppressing Dragon Sect is coming to the capital, and he is accompanied by Pharmacist Zhangsun and Mu Ziyan?"
There was a bit of surprise in his words, and there was a bit of suspicion in his calm expression.
The informant in black night clothes knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Yes, according to the report from the Zhenlong Sect informant, they have been setting off for more than three days and are expected to arrive in the capital early tomorrow morning."
Liu Huang's eyes flashed, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he said, "Go and invite Grand Master Qin."
"Here!"
The informant in black responded, stood up and disappeared into the study room.
Liu Huang lowered his eyes and looked at the piles of memorials on the table in front of him. His eyes were bright and flickering, and he had no intention of correcting them.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Huai, wearing a python robe and a crane suit, hurried to the study room.
When he came in, he knelt down with a plop in front of Emperor Liu who was standing behind the case.
"See my emperor!"
"Master, what are you doing!"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu hurriedly walked out, stretched out his hand to help Qin Huai, and said reproachfully: "Didn't I tell you that since you are my grand master, you don't need to salute when we meet in private!"
"Thank you, my emperor."
Qin Huai stood up, thanked him first, and then continued: "Your Majesty, there is an order of hierarchy and no disorder!"
Liu Huang was speechless, "When you became my crown prince and grand master, you were obsessed with these rules. Now that I am in charge of this country, you don't impose these rules on me, but you impose them on yourself."
Qin Huai said expressionlessly: "The rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be discarded."
After a pause, he then asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned me.
Hearing these words, Liu Huang shook his head for a moment, and did not worry too much about the rules and etiquette, and said: "My caller came to report that the master of the Zhenlong Sect, Sun Ji, the president of the Pharmacist Academy, and Mu Ziyan, the president of the Duobao Branch, are heading towards the capital. "
"I felt something was unusual, so I called the Grand Master to come."
The Suppressing Dragon Sect has existed for a long time. When the late emperor abdicated, he reminded this matter. The Suppressing Dragon Sect can protect the long-term survival of the Shu Kingdom, but it must be guarded against.
Therefore, the Dragon Suppressing Sect has always had a secret chess game in the court, just to prevent any abnormalities in the Dragon Suppressing Sect.
But after so many years, it was only used this time.
Zhenlong Sect Master rarely travels, and there may be strange phenomena.
Qin Huai frowned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, I think this matter can be big or small, but first we need to know why Zhenlong Sect Master brought people to Beijing."
"If it's an accident, wouldn't it be a joke?"
Liu Huang was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "The Grand Master thought carefully, but I was shocked."
Qin Huai's expression was calm and unfazed by favors and insults, "It is what a minister should do if he is praised too much."
Then, he recommended himself: "When people arrive in the capital, I can go and test it out, and then we can be sure."
Hearing this, Liu Huang laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, okay! This matter will trouble the Grand Master."
Qin Huai said: "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the Holy One."
…
On the other side, shortly after Emperor Liu summoned Qin Huai into the palace, the Huang family also received the news.
Huang Shizheng looked at the note on the table with a thoughtful expression. After a long time, he called the waiter, "Go and call the boss."
"yes."
The man took the order and left.
Not long after, Huang Yicheng, wearing a wrap and trousers, hurriedly came to Huang Shizheng's room.
"Old man, you woke me up in the middle of the night. What's wrong?"
Huang Shizheng looked him over, said nothing, and stretched out his hand to hand the note to him.
The former took the note, and after reading it, his expression became subtle, "Sun Ji, the head of the Zhenlong Sect, the president of the Medicine School, and Mu Ziyan, Duobao Xing, are coming to Beijing together?"
He wouldn't be surprised if Changsunji and Mu Ziyan were to go together, but there was only one more leader of the Suppressing Dragon Sect. What was the connection between them?
Huang Shizheng looked at him with a speechless look and said, "You should pay attention to their coming to Beijing, not why they are together."
Huang Yicheng was stunned for a while, obviously thinking, and then suddenly realized.
"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
His eyes were serious and his tone was solemn.
Huang Shizheng nodded with satisfaction, "Well, let's go back."
After they left, he got up and went back to bed to sleep.
Without realizing it, there was a pair of eyes on the roof tiles and beams that witnessed the whole process.
After waiting for the silence of the night, the figure on the tile beam turned over and jumped down. He was dressed in black and had strong movements. There was no sound when he landed. Then he jumped out of the window without taking the usual route.
Finally, he closed the window without disturbing the sleepy gatekeeper.
…
The next day, in front of the huge city gate of the capital, four figures of Chu Jin appeared on horseback.
"Sect Master, Dean Changsun, Mr. Su, we will see you at Wansheng Tower later."
Mu Ziyan was wearing a cloud skirt. After saying hello to Su Chen and others, she entered the capital on horseback.
Her palace attire was not suitable for running around, so she borrowed one from the female disciple of Zhenlong Sect, and now she was going to change it.
The branch headquarters of Duobaohang in Shu Kingdom is located in the capital.
"Let's go too."
Chu Jin said, and after the city gate guards verified their identities, the three of them rode horses together and headed towards Wansheng Tower.
Behind him, a bunch of people stared at the city gate. Some people were dissatisfied and asked the guards: "Why can they ride into the city on horseback, but I am required to lead the horse and walk?!"
The guard glanced at the speaker and said word for word with an official tone: "The first one to enter the city is the president of Duobao Guild."
"The next few are the dean of the Medicine School and the head of the Dragon Suppressing Sect. These are all appointed by the Holy Emperor."
"May I ask, what can you compare with?"
After these words were spoken, everyone on the spot was in an uproar. No one expected that this group of people could be so powerful!
Pick one out at random and place it somewhere else, and it will be a character that can shock three people!
The man felt inferior and opened his mouth. He felt that he was not confident enough to say anything, so he had to hold the horse and go into the city in despair.
Chu Jin and the three people who had already entered Beijing were naturally unaware of what was happening behind them, but they noticed something strange around them.
Changsun Ji laughed and said, "Walking with you, no matter where I go, I will attract people's attention!"
Chu Jin shook his head, "It's just making a fuss. If I had any idea, the country of Shu would have changed its surname to Chu long ago."
He knew the royal family's thoughts from the beginning. After all, the only one who had a good relationship with the royal family was Shi Jian's grandfather. With the death of the original Emperor Liu, the so-called friendship between them also disappeared.
In the future, the Kingdom of Shu will need the Suppressing Dragon Sect to control the country, and the Suppressing Dragon Sect will want peace and the right to explore historical sites, but there will only be conflicts of interest.
Now Emperor Liu has been on guard against the Dragon Suppressing Sect since the day he ascended the throne. This time when he travels, I don't know how many eyes are secretly paying attention.
Changsunji's expression changed, he looked around, and then said to Chu Jin solemnly: "Be careful, it's not a trivial matter to be found out!"
Chu Jin smiled and said nothing. All he could see on his face was indifference. As an immortal cultivator, how could he be greedy for earthly power?
