Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 462: A visitor arrives at the Grand Tutor's residence in the middle of the night

"I didn't expect that it would be you who came to my place."

The night was alluring. In a luxurious mansion, Grand Tutor Dong Zhu looked at the visitor with some surprise.

The butler who had always been by his side raised his head, then lowered it, and then stepped aside.

"I have nothing to do, so I just take a walk."

The old man chuckled, Dong Zhu stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation, and the two turned around and went back into the house.

"At the banquet tonight, some are happy while others are sad."

The smoke of cigarettes curls up, the aroma of tea wafts around, and an old man sits aside, looking calm and at ease.

"Grandmaster, are you here to lobby for the Sixth Prince?"

After all, Dong Zhu is an old man who has been in the court for many years. He can understand the elegant meaning of the music by listening to the music. When the national teacher Qi Tianchen came here today, he had already guessed the other party's intention.

"Lobbyist?"

"No, no matter who sits in that position, what difference does it make to you and me?"

Dong Zhu was stunned and glanced at Qi Tianchen inconspicuously. He knew this old friend very well. No one would visit him for no reason. He didn't believe what the other party said.

"old man."

Seeing the other party's stubborn look, Qi Tianchen shook his head helplessly.

"We have been dealing with each other for more than a year or two. When have I ever lied to you?"

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Dong Zhu stroked his beard. What Qi Tianchen said was indeed true. The position of National Master was very special and not everyone could hold the position. Since the founding of Beili, it had always been held by Taoists from the Huanglong Temple.

It is precisely because of this special position that Qi Tianchen is an extremely special existence in the court. He does not need to form cliques or curry favor with the powerful, and he is aloof from the world.

Therefore, what the other party said was not false.

"Master, let's get straight to the point."

Qi Tianchen shook his head. Sometimes it was difficult to talk to smart people, but fortunately now that he had talked about it, things would be easier to deal with afterwards.

Talking to smart people is sometimes difficult, but at the same time, it is also easy.

"Today, a strange thing happened. All the Jianghu people in Tianqi City disappeared."

Dong Zhu frowned and glanced at Qi Tianchen. At this time, the other party should not just talk about this matter.

"What does the Imperial Master mean?"

Dong Zhu didn't have much contact with these people from the underworld. Although he had one in his house, he only used it for self-defense.

"hehe!"

Qi Tianchen chuckled, and seeing that Dong Zhu didn't understand what he meant, he added another sentence.

"Those people in the martial arts world have lost their traces, but there are some unfamiliar faces around the ministers' residences who attended the banquet tonight. However, those people's whereabouts are very secretive, and unless they are investigated individually, they cannot be detected at all."

Dong Zhu's face changed. Although Qi Tianchen did not explicitly say who these suspicious people were, he had already guessed.

"National Master, do you mean that these people are the intentions of the White King and the Red King?"

Qi Tianchen sighed softly.

“The Apocalypse City is now in a state of great uncertainty and confusion, with many forces entangled. I have no idea who these people are. Perhaps they are the two princes’ men, but no one can say whether it was their intention or not.” Dong Zhu’s eyes grew cold and he slammed the table.

"Old Qin, are there those people that the National Master mentioned outside our house?"

The old man who looked like a housekeeper heard this, bowed his head and thought for a moment, then replied respectfully: "To answer the master's words, there is something wrong. When we just returned to the mansion, I felt something was strange, but I never figured out what was going on. If the state teacher hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it. Today's streets seem to be a little more lively, a lot more lively."

Dong Zhu clenched his fists. Qi Tianchen would not joke about such a thing, especially since his confidant had also confirmed it.

"What on earth do these bastards want to do!!"

Qi Tianchen picked up the teacup, began to drink the tea in small sips, and stopped talking.

Before it was confirmed, no one could be sure what these people were planning, but he was sure of one thing, if Xiao Chuhe hadn't been making such an unpleasant scene in the palace today, then tonight's Apocalypse would probably have been very lively.

Dong Zhu, who was sitting on the chair, flickered his eyes for a while, and then looked at Qi Tianchen again.

"National Master, besides the people of the White King and the Red King, are there any other people in the martial arts world?"

Qi Tianchen shook off the dust in his hand.

"I don't know, but there is one thing I'm sure you can find out. The people around Prince Yong'an are all well-known figures in the martial arts world. According to my understanding, they would not do those things. In addition, today's situation is to welcome him back to Tianqi. Do you think they might be his people?"

Dong Zhu looked at Qi Tianchen, and seeing that he did not seem to be in a hurry and had no intention of hiding anything, he withdrew his gaze.

He still had a certain ability to judge whether this matter was true or false. Just as Qi Tianchen said, today the emperor was supporting Xiao Chuhe, so there was no need for Xiao Chuhe to do all this.

As for what those people in the underworld wanted to do, he already had the answer in his mind.

"The martial artists have gathered in Tianqi City and have become too powerful to be controlled. They can even interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. This is truly a matter of life and death."

Qi Tianchen's two white eyebrows slightly raised and his eyes narrowed. Dong Zhu's words were not alarmist. If what happened tonight was really as the two said, Tianqi would be in complete chaos.

"Grandmaster, you haven't seen Xiao Chuhe for many years. He has changed more than you imagined. Do you think Xiao Chuhe understands the purpose of the emperor's banquet today?"

A hint of suspicion flashed across Dong Zhu's eyes.

"This"

"Even a young man who has just entered the martial arts world would be able to understand the intricacies of this matter. How could this prince who has experienced the ups and downs of the martial arts world and the hypocrisy of the officialdom not understand it!"

Grand Tutor Dong Zhu nodded.

"But in the end, he did not accept the emperor's kindness."

When Qi Tianchen heard this, he knew that Dong Zhu had not let go of his previous grudge.

"You! Why bother with a child? In the end, Xiao Chuhe still got beaten."

Dong Zhu snorted and didn't say anything else.

"The White King and the Red King have been in Tianqi for a long time. You are naturally familiar with their personalities. Do you think they are suitable for that position?"

Dong Zhu shook his head.

"Grandmaster, who will sit on that position in the end is up to His Majesty to decide, not us. Besides, this matter is not suitable to be brought up."

Qi Tianchen looked up at the sky. The night was filled with bright stars, just like the countless living beings. They were as numerous as the hairs on a cow, but each of them was shining, which made the current prosperous world possible.

"The laws of nature are unpredictable, and so are the laws of humanity. I'm afraid the people will suffer more in the future."
