Chapter 365: Chapter 307: Let’s See Who Dares to Go! (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2
Those people are completely out of their league; it should be they who are asking to pay their respects. However, the task that His Highness the Heir has set forth completely lowers his status; this is also one of the reasons the Beiliang Sect has three thousand guests.
Presumably, a prince of noble lineage and great ability would extend such courtesy to a wanderer from the Worldly society, who considers the four corners of the world his ho. How could he not be captivated by such magnanimity?
Then, behind the grass curtain, the Beiliang Heir laughed and said,
“You, oh you!”
“Be more restrained in your deeds and words!”
“A mighty dragon still cannot repress a local snake; to quickly gain control of the situation, local forces are indispensable.”
“After all, this is not Liangzhou.”
“Your subordinate understands. I shall take my leave now. When cousin Mingquan returns, I’ll have him arrange the banquet for tomorrow!” Jin Taiyuan agreed, his eyes brimming with fervent anticipation.
Though it’s under the pretense of using his hocoming to gather the various families on behalf of His Highness, Jin Taiyuan himself is overly excited. Having road the Worldly society for over a decade, drifting away from Shu, he had no idea if anyone in the city still rembered his na. Now returning ho in glory and supported by the Beiliang Heir, he could already imagine the attitude of the prominent figures in Jingguan City when they see him tomorrow.
The re thought could not suppress his excitent.
After all, who wouldn’t want a triumphant return?
With that said, the man retreated.
Soon, the loft fell silent.
But at this mont, amidst the grass curtains, the Beiliang Heir picked up a small red stove’s ward teapot, poured another cup, pushed it across the table, and suddenly spoke.
“Sir, have you chased away those botherso flies?”
Upon those words, an invisible figure materialized out of thin air across from the Heir.
Through the gaps in the curtain, a figure with grey hair in a dark-purple robe embroidered with an Eight Diagram appeared, his face obscured by the Heir’s silhouette.
The man spoke, his voice sowhat aged, the very sa one that had emanated from the palanquin the day before,
“Just a few short-sighted pawns. I might not have taken their lives, but I’ve destroyed their Dantian and knocked them unconscious.”
“Using my Divine Skills, I forcefully interrogated them, and indeed, they were under orders to watch the Heir’s movents. Hmm, they know not what they do.”
“Also, they were probing if any of us were Vice Minister Wu!”
His elderly voice carried a tone of cold indifference.
From his words, it was clear that those sent by Gao Yu to keep watch outside the Jin Mansion had been neatly dealt with by him.
The Beiliang Heir’s eyebrows raised slightly at this news, then he spoke indifferently as if not concerned at all, “It seems that the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel is soone who holds onto past grudges, haha, what, does he want to harm this Heir?”
“He wouldn’t dare!” The Eight Trigrams figure’s eyebrows shot up and then his tone softened,
“Your Highness, rest assured. With present, he would not have the audacity to act.”
The Beiliang Heir shook his head with a smile, “With sir here, I naturally feel at ease.”
Then, turning to his side, “Summon Wu Chang.”
Swiftly, footsteps receded below.
After a while, Vice Minister Wu, with a sinister appearance, erged onto the loft, bowed and asked, “Your Highness, for what matter have you summoned ?”
“Stay indoors recently; that Colonel is looking for you.”
“You’ve been exposed!”
Hearing this, Wu Chang imdiately broke out in a cold sweat, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes as he frantically thought, Damn, this Hell King Chen is indeed like the King of Hell, coming for one’s life. After so much ti, he still has in his thoughts.
It was clear why he was being sought.
And thinking… “Your Highness, I… I have just stepped outside.”
He spoke with so difficulty, having just returned from an errand. The thought of the Colonel searching for him now filled him with dread.
“Hmm?”
The voice from behind the grass curtain turned chilly, “I rember warning you yesterday as we entered the city to keep a low profile. What were you doing outside?”
At this, Wu Chang sprang to full attention, “Yesterday, His Highness reminded to send a ssage to investigate Tianxiong Pass’s building. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy it felt. I got frustrated, so I went out to the city to dispatch the ssage to those in the Western Regions.”
Wu Chang hadn’t put much thought into this already settled matter, but upon arriving in Jingguan City and being reminded by the Heir, as well as facing the other guests’ cold stares, his frustration grew.
But given the tight security in Jingguan City, it wasn’t safe to send ssages within the city, so he had ventured outside the city walls to dispatch a flying letter.
“Moreover, your subordinate naturally took precautions and altered his appearance,” Wu Chang continued in a low voice.
“Enough, you may step down!” The cold voice ca from behind the curtain.
Wu Chang’s face slightly changed, he quickly bowed and withdrew.
After leaving the attic, his sinister and nefarious face showed a look of gloomy anger, his palms tightly clenched.
Damn it!
…….
Soon, as ti passed, night fell quietly.
On Yunding Mountain, in front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall, a figure stood in the biting cold wind, standing for a whole day.
The snow piled up around him was about a foot thick, covering his heels.
But he didn’t dare to leave.
This person was Jin Mingquan, the Jin Family Master.
After being summoned by Chen Yuan’s n, he had been left out in the square in front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall, like an ice sculpture, waiting for Chen Yuan’s summons.
Initially, he was puzzled, not knowing why that important person had summoned him, as his Jin Family had recently been supporting that person’s work and hadn’t slipped up.
Gradually, as he continued to wait without the appearance of that important person, his anxiety grew. He asked the Armored Soldiers guarding the hall, but they completely ignored him.
This attitude made him realize that he must have done sothing wrong.
But he hadn’t done anything recently, save for one thing – the Heir of Beiliang had stayed at his Jin Family’s residence yesterday.
At that ti, he was very excited; who was the Heir of Beiliang if not the son of a marquis, a noble of high rank? The procession entering the city was imposing, and that he graced their small family with his presence was like the light smoke from his ancestors’ graves.
But now, all he had was shock and tremors in his heart.
Could it be that there was so connection between that important person and the Heir of Beiliang?
He didn’t dare to think!
No matter what, his Jin Family, with its weak arms and legs, couldn’t withstand such trouble, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he beca.
At this mont, he saw a streak of light appear in front of the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he called out:
“Military Adviser Gao!”
The person who appeared was unexpectedly Gao Yu.
He ca from the bottom of the mountain and turned his head to see Jin Mingquan waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
“Military Adviser Gao, I’ve been waiting for half a day, when can I see the important person? I’m just a simple man, I hope Military Adviser Gao can enlighten .”
Jin Mingquan, as a master of the Heavenly Pass Taoist Soldier Realm, was being very polite to the slightly lesser-cultivated Gao Yu, even with a hint of a flattering smile.
Gao Yu was expressionless at the mont, “Jin Family Master, the important person is busy with official duties, I also ca to see if the important person is here.”
“However, I heard that Jin Family Master’s cousin returned ho adorned with honors and has now beco a Guest of the Heir of Beiliang. He had just co to our Governnt Administrative Office asking for people, and I could only politely send him on his way.”
“Jin Family Master, you’d better continue waiting!”
Saying this, Gao Yu turned around, asked the Armored Soldiers guarding outside the hall if the important person had co to the Heavenly Patrol Hall today, and when he learned that he hadn’t, he didn’t stay any longer, and with a leap, he left the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
Not long after, Gao Yu, after asking several tis outside the closed Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall, finally got a response, and the hall doors opened. He followed the voice to a quiet room in the side hall.
Chen Yuan was sitting inside, his face calm.
But Gao Yu felt that the important person he saw during the day had changed, becoming more imposing.
“The important person was indeed cultivating, my interruption is unwarranted, but there is an important matter to report!”
“Speak!”
Gao Yu then recounted the news he had received.
Jin Family’s cousin was sending invitations to various families, saying that he was holding a hocoming feast tomorrow, and that he had personally co to The Overseers to demand people with a tough attitude, and that Gao and Fan Chou could only send him away politely.
And at this mont, the Jin Family Master was still waiting outside the Heavenly Patrol Hall,
“Also… the brothers I sent to tail the Heir of Beiliang, they all were knocked out by a mysterious person, their Dantians destroyed.”
Gao Yu’s expression turned ugly.
Chen Yuan’s eyes finally turned cold upon hearing this.
“Go, leak the news to a few families.”
“Let’s see who dares to go?”
