Chapter 27: Red Dragon Cult "Your Highness, the prince has specifically instructed that this courtyard be left vacant for the time being." A steward of the palace responded from behind. "Grandfather asked me to leave it empty for now? Which noble person is coming?" "I don't know about this." "Changyan, since the prince has made arrangements, let's go to the place just now." The young man next to him wore a silk scarf on his head, held a folding fan in his hand, and had a smile as gentle as jade. Li Changyan frowned and said, "How can that be? You are my good friend. Since this place is managed by my grandfather, I am the landlord and I must fulfill my duties as a landlord. The orientation and layout of those courtyards just now were too bad. I will go ask my grandfather who this place is for." Another young man stopped Li Changyan and said with a smile: "It's just a temporary residence, why should we be so particular? If I ask the prince about this matter, he will blame me for being ignorant. Besides... I think this courtyard is different from the others. It seems that someone has lived there for a long time, so we shouldn't take away their space." Li Changyan looked at the gate of the courtyard and found that the ground and the door knocker were different. "Someone has been staying here for a long time? Could it be..." A thought flashed through his mind, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. As the grandson of Prince Qing, he happened to know some things that outsiders did not know. "Chang Yan, what are you doing?"
Li Changyan said coldly: "If this is true, then we really have to live in this courtyard." After saying this, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard. "Your Highness!" The voice of Qin Hu, the butler, suddenly rang out. Li Changyan turned around: "Butler Qin." "The prince asks you to come over. Master Qi, the prince asks you to come over as well." Qin Hu turned sideways and stretched out his hand. Li Changyan looked in the direction he was looking and saw Prince Qing standing with his hands behind his back, looking at this side from afar. Li Changyan's heart skipped a beat. He had been in awe of his grandfather since he was a child. He was furious just now and was about to disobey the king's order, but his grandfather saw it. He was naturally uneasy, but when he thought of that incident, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. "Grandson greets grandfather." "Junior Qi Zizhong pays homage to His Majesty." "You are the boy from the Duke of Qi's family, right? I remember you came to see me with your grandfather when you were young. Get up." "That's right, I didn't expect that after so many years, the prince still remembered me. I am extremely honored." Qi Zizhong bowed again and then stood up. "Haha, Duke Qi is such a big, strong guy, but he raised such a gentle and refined child. Are you at the fourth level of Zhenwu now?" "Your Highness has a sharp eye. I was lucky enough to break through a few days ago. My ancestor heard about what happened at the foot of Beiquan Mountain and asked me to come and see if I have a chance to hone my Tiangang skills." Prince Qing nodded slightly and ordered: "Qin Hu, go and arrange a place for this kid from the Qi family to live." "Master Qi, please follow me." Qi Zizhong bowed to Prince Qing, gave Li Changyan a helpless look, and left. Prince Qing raised his hand and waved it gently, and the guards around him walked away and blocked the area from a distance. "Do you know where you went wrong?" Prince Qing said calmly. "My grandson did not obey the king's order. I knew that this place was arranged by my grandfather, but I was..."
Prince Qing interrupted and said, "Come with me to a place." "Where to go?" "Aren't you so concerned about your sister's affairs? Let me take you to see the real owner." "Grandfather, are you saying that Gu Yuanqing is actually in this Beiquan Mountain?" Li Changyan suddenly looked up. Although he and Li Miaoxuan did not meet each other often, his parents and grandfather had always used Li Miaoxuan as a role model to discipline him since he was a child. In his heart, his imperial sister, who entered Zhenwu at the age of ten and had the qualities of a master, was an object of worship. When he first heard about the emperor's sister, he was filled with righteous indignation. Even at this moment, he still wanted to kill her as soon as possible. This matter was a shame for the Li family. Prince Qing did not say anything and turned away. Li Changyan quickly got up and chased after him. …… Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes in the house. He had just come out of the Lingshan trial. When he looked at the mountain, he saw Prince Qing and Li Changyan coming through the gap. He stood up and walked out the door, turned around and saw Prince Qing walking slowly towards him. "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Yuanqing bowed in greeting. "Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?" Prince Qing laughed. When Li Changyan first met Gu Yuanqing, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but when he saw his grandfather's behavior, he was stunned and puzzled. He had never seen his grandfather be so kind to anyone, let alone to a shameless person. Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Since the prince came here, the food and expenses have improved a lot." "Mr. Gu, are you saying that the previous supply was too poor? Then I will ask General Chen to review this later." "No, Your Highness is joking. It's windy outside, let's go inside and chat. Your Highness, please. Brother Changyan, please." Prince Qing stepped inside, and Li Changyan stared at Gu Yuanqing fiercely. Gu Yuanqing didn't take it seriously and said, "Auntie Feng, serve the tea." Feng Tao, who was busy outside, turned around and nodded quickly. At this time, she had accepted the fact that she could hear Gu Yuanqing speaking. She was deaf since childhood and was extremely surprised. This voice that she had never heard before seemed to open up another world for her. A look of surprise flashed across Prince Qing's face. As far as he knew, the maid who was sent up should be deaf-mute. After sitting down in the house, Feng Tao served tea and exchanged some meaningless pleasantries. Gu Yuanqing asked, "Your Majesty, are you really here to chat with me?" "Why not?" Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "It seems that the prince seems to be worried." Upon hearing this, Prince Qing's smile slowly faded, and he said, "There is indeed something, and this time, Master Gu may need to take action." Gu Yuanqing was surprised: "Do you need me to help?" Li Changyan also looked at his grandfather in astonishment. Asking Gu Yuanqing to help? What was going on? As far as he knew, Gu Yuanqing was just a Yuanshi. Prince Qing said slowly with a solemn expression: "Last night, someone sneaked into the seal area around the Demon Realm and almost destroyed the Heaven-Repairing Formation and damaged the Grandmaster's secret weapon in the formation."
"Your Highness, are you kidding me? There are so many high-level Zhenwu masters gathered in Beiquan Mountain, and there are also imperial guards stationed there. How could something like this happen?" "The man who came here is a master, and his stealth skills are superb. If Li Beiyan from the Demon Suppression Division hadn't noticed something was wrong, he would have almost succeeded. Even so, under this tight siege, the man easily escaped. No one could stop him, and he killed two people instead. We guess that this man is related to the Red Dragon Sect, and he used the Red Dragon Sect's secret technique of the Dormant Dragon. His cultivation must have reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, and he is only one step away from the Grandmaster Realm." "Red Dragon Cult?" Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. He hated the people of the Red Dragon Cult very much. If he met them, he would definitely kill them. But the key point now was that the seal of the Demon Realm was outside Beiquan Mountain. Once he went down the mountain, his cultivation level would not be able to compete with them. "Yes, this kind of monster is so crazy and has lost all humanity. He must have heard that there is a problem with the seal here and intends to open the passage to the Demon Realm." Gu Yuanqing asked tentatively: "This place is less than 600 miles away from Kyoto, why not invite the Grandmaster of the Royal Capital to come and support us?" Prince Qing said patiently, "The princess is getting married. The Great Zhou's national teacher, Taoist Yang Zhen, has come to congratulate her. The Blood Knife Sect's leader, Duanmu Xianyue, has also appeared near the capital. These two are both masters. They have gathered in the capital at the same time. There must be something they are planning. Your Majesty doesn't dare to let the masters leave the capital, so I have no choice but to ask Master Gu to help." Gu Yuanqing was still considering how to respond, it was not that he was unwilling to take action, but the seal of the Demon Realm was of great importance. If Prince Qing really thought that he was a master, and something went wrong, the passage to the Demon Realm would be opened, and hundreds of miles of land would become a demon abyss, and he would be deeply sinful. Li Changyan, who was standing by, could not suppress his anger when he saw Gu Yuanqing talking to him. "Grandfather, why did you ask him to do that? I think he clearly doesn't have the ability and is afraid. Gu Yuanqing was only at the Yuanshi level a year ago. Did you get fooled by him?" Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes.
