Ever since the Kunlun Mystery Land incident, Shengjing City had been peaceful. Su Xin's constables had a say in this.
Previously, the princes' subordinates and the Zhou Kingdom's dukes and marquises who supported them had been fighting each other. The whole city was in chaos. They didn't want to interfere, but they couldn't. The worst part was that even if they interfered, it wouldn't be of much use and would only attract trouble.
After Su Xin gave King Tai, Ji Yancheng, a show of strength, Shengjing City finally calmed down. In the end, Ji Haodian flew into a rage and stripped the princes of their power. Even the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom were scared out of their wits and didn't dare to cause trouble in Shengjing City.
However, with the arrival of the foreign monks, Shengjing City felt as if a storm was brewing. This made the patrolling constables of Shengjing City a little nervous.
Qi Long led his men to patrol the streets for the whole morning and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Along the way, they did meet the foreign monks of Buddhism, but they didn't have any conflicts.
Although the foreign monks of Buddhism were used to being domineering and were treated as real Buddhas by the people of the Xijiang, they were now in Shengjing City. They must have been instructed by the masters of their sects to restrain themselves.
Therefore, although the foreign monks of Buddhism had a conflict with the people of Six Doors last time, the foreign monks of Buddhism were not stupid enough to provoke them.
After the morning, Qi Long brought a few of his trusted subordinates to Fragrant Sichuan Restaurant for lunch.
Fragrant Sichuan Restaurant was a restaurant that opened recently in Shengjing City. It specialized in Bashu style dishes. The taste and reputation were good, which suited Qi Long's taste very well. Therefore, he ate here every time.
However, Fragrant Sichuan Restaurant wasn't that simple. Behind it was King Shu, Ji Yanxiu.
Six Doors was in charge of the world's intelligence. Naturally, Fragrant Sichuan Restaurant's background couldn't be hidden from Qi Long.
Since the incident in the Kunlun Mystery Land, Ji Yanxiu was considered to be qualified to fight for the throne. Therefore, he was very concerned about some things in Shengjing City.
Although Fragrant Sichuan Restaurant was a restaurant in name, it was actually Ji Yanxiu's eyes. It was responsible for passing information from Shengjing City to the outside world.
Although the Six Fan School knew about it, no one had ever bothered to do anything about it.
No matter what Ji Yanxiu did, it was the Zhou Kingdom's own business. As long as they didn't do anything that threatened the Zhou Kingdom and Six Doors, no one would care about them.
Moreover, Ji Yanxiu's people also knew this, so they did not deliberately hide it from the people of Six Doors.
After Qi Long stepped into the Fragrant Creek Restaurant, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him and said with a smile, "Lord Qi, you haven't been here for a few days. The table has been reserved for you. Do you want to order the dishes as usual?"
Qi Long nodded and said, "As usual, prepare a table of good dishes for my brothers."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Sir Qi, please wait a moment. It will be ready in a moment."
Whether it was the shopkeeper or the waiters, they all belonged to King Shu, Ji Yanxiu.
They naturally knew the relationship between Ji Yanxiu and Su Xin, and this Qi Long was Lord Su's confidant. He was appointed to manage the affairs of Shengjing City as soon as he reached the Soul Formation stage. Everyone could see that Lord Su had nurtured Qi Long.
Because of this, the shopkeeper was so friendly to Qi Long. Otherwise, he would not even treat the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom with such politeness.
Qi Long walked to the corner of the hall and sat by the window.
Perhaps it was because he had been a Windchaser Patrol Officer for a long time, but Qi Long had a habit of sitting and listening in all directions, even when he was eating.
That was why Qi Long didn't choose a private room, but a window seat in the hall.
After the dishes and wine were served, Qi Long was eating when a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes with an extraordinary aura walked in from the door.
The middle-aged man saw Qi Long in the hall and paused for a moment before coming over to greet him, "So it's Lord Qi. What a coincidence. Lord Qi also heard that the food in Fragrant Creek Restaurant is good? It just so happens that this meal is on me. "
Qi Long cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Longhua is too polite. I'm a regular customer of Fragrant Creek Restaurant. If Marquis Longhua doesn't mind, we can sit down and eat together."
This middle-aged man could be considered an old acquaintance of Su Xin, Marquis Longhua Chen Tianzhi of the many dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom.
Back then, Chen Tianzhi had been persuaded by Su Xin. Not only had she helped Su Xin trick the King of Tai, Ji Yancheng, she had even sided with the King of Chu, Ji Yanhao, and ruthlessly stabbed Ji Yancheng in the Kunlun Secret Realm.
Unfortunately, everyone was fooled by the Human Emperor in the end. Ji Yanhao, who the Duke of Dragon Flower relied on, didn't manage to obtain the position of Crown Prince. Instead, he was disliked by Ji Haodian because he was involved in the fight for the position of Crown Prince. His days were getting worse.
Now that he heard Qi Long's invitation, Chen Tianzhi only hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "Then it would be impolite of me to refuse."
In fact, he didn't have such a deep friendship with Qi Long. A few months ago, Qi Long was just a junior in the Innate Realm. Chen Tianzhi had never even heard of such a person.
It was only later that Qi Long advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm and was appointed by Su Xin to be responsible for the affairs of the Six Fan School in Shengjing City. Only then did Qi Long gain the attention of many dukes and marquises in Shengjing City.
After all, Qi Long was basically in charge of the chief of detectives in Shengjing City. However, he didn't officially become the chief of detectives because he didn't have enough meritorious deeds and qualifications.
Even so, everyone could understand that Qi Long was definitely a confidant that Su Xin was going to train. He was worth making friends with.
Just now, Chen Tianzhi was indeed ready to eat. However, he saw Qi Long in the hall, so he rushed to greet him.
Now that he heard Qi Long's invitation, Chen Tianzhi also wanted to be on good terms with Su Xin's favorite person, so he didn't stand on ceremony with him.
After Chen Tianzhi sat down, Qi Long immediately asked the waiter to bring over another set of chopsticks and personally poured a glass of wine for Chen Tianzhi.
Looking at Qi Long in front of him, Chen Tianzhi felt very emotional.
When Su Xin first came to Shengjing City, he could be said to be surrounded by enemies from all sides. He was even thrown into the position of chief of detectives in Shengjing City. This was basically roasting Su Xin over a fire.
However, in just a few years, Liu Fengwu, who was against Su Xin back then, died, and Su Xin took his place.
And Ji Yancheng, who had a great feud with Su Xin, was now not even as good as an idle Master. He had completely lost the qualification to fight for the throne and stayed in King Tai's Residence every day to drown his sorrows in wine.
On the other hand, Su Xin was now famous in Jianghu. This time, he led many experts of the Zhou Kingdom to destroy Qingcheng Sword School, which established his position in the Zhou Kingdom in one fell swoop. It could be said that his power was monstrous.
Chen Tianzhi sighed. In the past, Su Xin could still negotiate with him as an equal, but now it was his turn to please Su Xin's subordinates.
Qi Long took a sip of wine and said, "Why do I feel that Master Hou is not very happy?"
Chen Tianzhi smiled bitterly and said, "It's because of the matter of the position of crown prince. None of the dukes and marquises who participated in the battle for the position of crown prince had an easy time.
In the past, even if we, the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom did not have any military achievements, we still had a salary issued by the imperial court, which contained a lot of cultivation resources.
But now, we still have the salary, but the cultivation resources have been reduced by 90%.
And even if I wanted to rely on military achievements to earn some credit, it would be impossible.
This time, Lord Su brought the people of the Zhou Kingdom to destroy Qingcheng Sword School. The Marquis of Longhua still had some connections in the Longwu Army, so I was prepared to go, but in the end, I was directly rejected.
If this continues, the Marquis of Longhua will not be able to hold on for long. "
Hearing Chen Tianzhi's complaints, Qi Long sneered inwardly.
His view of the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom was the same as that of Su Xin. They were quite disdainful, thinking that these people were just a bunch of rice worms.
When Qi Long was a Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer, he was quite envious of the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom. They had strength and merit, and they could get a salary from the Zhou Kingdom without doing anything.
But now, Qi Long no longer envied them. Instead, it had turned into disdain.
Warriors should be brave and radical. These dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom relied on their past achievements to live off their past achievements. Their lives were also in the hands of the Zhou Kingdom, so they had long lost their drive.
For example, the experts in the army were certainly not as worried as the Marquis of Longhua and the others. They had always been responsible for fighting for the Zhou Kingdom in exchange for their own benefits. They were too lazy to get involved in other messy things.
Qi Long laughed and said, "Marquis, you don't have to worry. Since His Majesty did not punish you on the spot, these other small punishments will not last long. Maybe after some time, even His Majesty himself will forget about this matter."
While Qi Long and Chen Tianzhi were chatting, five foreign monks walked in from the door. The two leading them were in the Divine Transformation Realm.
The two foreign monks in the Divine Transformation Realm had half of their arms exposed. The muscles on their arms seemed to be cast from gold and iron, shining with a bronze luster.
In fact, even from a distance, Qi Long could feel a powerful qi and blood from them. It was very amazing.
The five foreign monks walked into the Chuanxiang Restaurant and directly came to the Marquis of Longhua. One of the foreign monks put his palms together and said in a slightly stiff official language of the Zhou Kingdom, "Marquis, why are you avoiding to see us?
We know that Marquis has troubles in your heart, so we specially invite Marquis to join our Great Wei Heavenly Dragon Temple and cultivate the Supreme Dragon King Seal. It can make Marquis's heart free from impurities.
As long as Marquis joins our Great Wei Heavenly Dragon Temple, our temple's Dharma Master is even willing to personally teach you the secret art. "
Seeing these foreign monks coming, Chen Tianzhi could not help but show a trace of disgust in her eyes. She waved her hand and said in an impatient tone, "Don't pester me anymore. I have no interest in joining your Buddhism!"
