Late at night.
Qi Tianlong sat in the study room, concentrating on handling official business.
He had just taken over the position of the City Lord, and there were too many things to deal with.
In the next month, he would not have much time to rest.
However, no matter how hard it was, he would gladly endure it.
At this time, a guard outside the door reported.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the Young City Lord and Tianxing have returned."
As soon as the Qi Family took over the City Lord Mansion, these guards and servants cleverly changed the way they addressed him.
To Qi Tianlong, they did not even need to call him the Acting City Lord.
Anyway, everyone knew that the position of the City Lord would definitely belong to Qi Tianlong.
Even Qi Huanzhi was basking in the limelight, becoming the honorable Young City Lord.
Qi Tianlong hurriedly put down the document in his hand and said, "Bring them in."
The guard obeyed and bowed out of the study room.
Immediately, Qi Huan Zhi and Ji Tianxing stepped into the study room.
"Father, you really did it!"
As soon as he entered the study room, Qi Huan Zhi could not wait to rush to his father and give him a bear hug.
Qi Tianlong was full of joy, but he could not help but scold, "Huan Zhi, let go!
You are now the Young City Lord, why are you still acting like a child? Where is your decency? "
Pushing Qi Huan Zhi away, he hurriedly greeted Ji Tianxing and bowed sincerely.
"I thank Young Master Tianxing for his great kindness!
If it were not for Young Master Tianxing's advice, personally experiencing danger, and making outstanding contributions.
What did I, Qi Tianlong, do to make the Qi Family so glorious?! "
Being conferred the title of Viscount by the monarch and taking over the position of City Lord was something he did not even dare to dream of before.
And Ji Tianxing had only been in the Qi Family for a month, and he had helped him realize his dream!
Qi Tianlong's gratitude and respect for Ji Tianxing was really difficult to express in words!
Ji Tianxing stretched out his hand and helped Qi Tianlong up. He smiled and said, "Patriarch, you are too serious. Although I have done my best, you also need to seize the opportunity to succeed.
In short, this is everyone's credit. "
Qi Tianlong was even more moved. He praised from the bottom of his heart, "Young Master's wisdom is unparalleled. You are so humble and courteous, and never arrogant.
This Qi is truly moved that this tiny Qingshan City was able to welcome such a prodigy of worldly affairs like you. I don't know how much good fortune it has received! "
Without waiting for Ji Tianxing to reply, Qi Huanzhi laughed and said, "Father, how can a small temple like Qingshan Town accommodate a great Bodhisattva like him?
Brother Tianxing said that he will be leaving Qingshan City in two days. "
Hearing this news, Qi Tianlong's body stiffened.
"Leaving in two days? So sudden? "
He knew very well that someone like Ji Tianxing would not stay in Qingshan City forever.
But he didn't expect Ji Tianxing to be in such a hurry to leave.
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Now that the situation in Qingshan City has been settled, and the Qi family has gotten what they wanted, there's not much use for me to stay. I'll only attract more powerful enemies.
The small Qingshan City could not bear the wrath of those big shots.
After I leave, their target will naturally change, and the Qi family will be safe. "
Qi Tianlong's heart tightened, and complex emotions gushed out. His eyes were even a little red.
"Young Master Tianxing, you've given so much thought to the Qi family, and the Qi family is deeply indebted to you. How can the Qi family repay you?
I will never be able to repay this kindness! "
Ji Tianxing smiled and shook his head, "Master, you're too serious. Huanzhi has already repaid you, so you don't have to worry about this matter.
Before I leave, I only have one last request. "
Qi Tianlong nodded without hesitation, "Young Master, please speak."
Ji Tianxing, "Master, please send a message to Miss Ning Siyuan to ask if there's a result of that matter?"
Qi Tianlong frowned doubtfully, "That matter?"
Ji Tianxing chuckled and said, "You don't have to say much, just pass my words to her."
"Okay, no problem!" Qi Tianlong did not ask any more questions and agreed to this matter.
The three of them sat down and chatted over tea.
Qi Tianlong hesitated for a moment before asking the question in his heart, "Young Master Tianxing, it was your idea to ask Huanzhi to become the City Lord, right?
You're not in Qingshan City, and you haven't seen the imperial envoy, so how can you be sure that the envoy will agree? "
Qi Huanzhi was also very doubtful, and looked at Ji Tianxing expectantly.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm only eighty percent sure, so I can't be 100 percent sure.
I'm guessing that although the Monarch is far away in the capital, he has a pervasive intelligence network, and his eyes and ears are all over the Bloodflame Divine Country.
The Monarch is well aware of the relationship between Yuwen Chengkong and Princess Tianfeng.
The Monarch can also investigate the alliance between Yuwen Chengkong, the Lu family, and the Blood Sword Sect.
Since the Blood Sword Sect is involved, we have to consider the backing behind the Blood Sword Sect, which is a big shot in the royal family.
This kind of big shot is most likely a governor or a prince with the ability to fight for the throne. "
Hearing this, Qi Tianlong and his son had a vague idea.
Ji Tianxing continued, "I've seen the information. The Monarch is old and has plans to pass down the throne. After retiring, he wants to break through to the Godking Realm.
Apart from the First Prince, who died young, the Monarch has four princes.
These four have already made contributions and have considerable power, and they're fighting openly and covertly to inherit the throne.
Therefore, I'm guessing that the big shot behind the Blood Sword Sect should be a prince.
The Blood Sword Sect killed the innocent in Qingshan City and despicably stole the Profound Light Cave. The Monarch must know about this.
However, the Monarch pretended not to know because he didn't want to hurt that prince's face. "
Hearing this, Qi Tianlong suddenly understood and said, "Therefore, the Monarch might be a little dissatisfied with that prince and the Blood Sword Sect, but it's inconvenient for him to act.
This time, the Monarch sent an imperial envoy to bestow me the title. In order to avoid suspicion, he definitely wouldn't send that prince's people.
Otherwise, he would be supporting that prince and the Blood Sword Sect, which would only make the Blood Sword Sect even more domineering! "
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "That's right! That prince also guessed the Monarch's intentions, so the Blood Sword Sect has recently disappeared without a trace and hasn't acted. "
Qi Tianlong added, "I heard from Ning Qinggang that the imperial envoy this time, God Monarch Blood Ink, is a trusted aide of the Third Prince."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with certainty, "Since that's the case, the backer behind the Blood Sword Sect is definitely not the Third Prince.
Moreover, the Third Prince and that prince are most likely competitors. "
Hearing this, Qi Tianlong suddenly understood and slapped his thigh.
"So that's how it is!
No wonder God Monarch Blood Ink didn't refuse when I tactfully suggested it at the banquet yesterday.
Not only was he happy to see it happen, he even deliberately guided me and supported me!
The Monarch's orders allowed him to act as he pleased, but he also had to take responsibility.
When I expressed my stance to him, he agreed without hesitation! "
Pausing for a moment, Qi Tianlong frowned and said, "So, God Monarch Blood Ink is deliberately trying to rope me in to strengthen the Third Prince's forces?
Since I've already boarded the Third Prince's ship, I'm irreconcilable with the prince behind the Blood Sword Sect? "
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "That's indeed the case. You should know what you're doing in the future.
However, you don't have to worry. You're now the Third Prince's subordinate and also a viscount newly conferred by the Monarch.
As long as the people of the Blood Sword Sect aren't crazy, they won't dare to act against you.
As for me, I'm the target of their anger. "
