Chapter 1857 Asking the Sword in the Forbidden City!
Qianjintai in Tianqi City is the first of the four major gambling houses in Beili. The other three are Baicheng in Qingzhou, Tianxiafang, and Meirenzhuang in Sangu City.

The reason why Qianjintai was named this way was because in the center of Qianjintai, there was a high platform built with a thousand gold coins, and the gambling house got its name from this.

However, this gambling house held a banquet today, and the host of the banquet was Xiao Se who had just arrived in Beijing.

It's a pity that the banquet has already started for quite some time, but still no one has come to keep the appointment. It is obvious that most people are afraid of King Bai and King Red and dare not come.

Of course, there were also some people who did not take the prince who had just returned to Kyoto seriously.

Just when Lei Wujie felt embarrassed for Xiao Se, the first customer arrived. He was the owner of Tianmingzhai in the capital, Jiujiudao. He represented the forces of the nine sects including the three gates and nineteen prefectures of Tianqi City.

Although this force is all of the lowest class, they can handle things that the government cannot, they can also engage in black industries that big merchants cannot get involved in, and they can even get clues that the Dali Temple cannot find.

The reason why he came was to express his gratitude to Xiao Se for recognizing his talent. When he was looked down upon by others, it was only Xiao Se who gave him support. Only then could he gain a foothold among the nine classes in Tianqi City.

However, he also put himself in danger because he indirectly disobeyed the orders of the Red King and the White King.

Xiao Se personally stood at the door to greet them, and said happily, "I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to be the first one to come!"

Although Jiujiudao knew the danger, he still smiled and said, "It is our duty to do what is right."

Xiao Se looked at Jiujiudao's heroic look, took out a small porcelain bottle, and said solemnly, "This is the medicine my master gave me. It is called the Three-Month Death Pill. No matter how severe the poison or injury is, if you take this within three months and cannot find my master to treat you, you will die for sure."

Jiujiudao was a little confused. He knew that this trip was dangerous, but he came anyway. He also knew that Xiao Se would be very grateful to him, but he didn't expect that Xiao Se's way of expressing gratitude would be so special.

He was not angry, thinking that Xiao Se treated him as a friend, so he took the medicine and asked curiously, "Then you are still alive in these three months?"

Xiao Se nodded and said solemnly, "That's what my master said. I haven't used it yet."

After hearing this, Jiujiudao said happily, "It is my honor to test the medicine for you, sir!"

"What are you talking about so happily?"

Ye Ruoyi's voice suddenly came over, and it seemed that he had been listening for a long time.

Lei Wujie asked excitedly, "Miss Ye, you're here!"

Ye Ruoyi looked at Lei Wujie's happy expression and couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Xiao Se frowned and asked, "Are you here on behalf of the General's Mansion this time?"

Ye Ruoyi shook her head and said calmly, "I am here to represent myself and for my friends."

When she said this, she first looked at Lei Wujie, and then at Xiao Se.

Xiao Se understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "It's good that you're here!"

Seeing Xiao Se say this, Ye Ruoyi asked curiously, "Such a big thing, didn't you inform your master?"

Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Isn't he in Muliang City?"

After hearing this, Ye Ruoyi smiled and said, "How could Lone Sword Immortal need your master to guard him all the time? I received news that after you entered Tianqi City, your master left Muliang City and asked Monk Wuxin to guard there."

When Lei Wujie heard this, he interrupted in astonishment, "Wuxin alone? Can he withstand the Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang?"

Ye Ruoyi was not impatient when being interrupted, and explained with a smile, "Wu Xin sincerely became Wang Yue's apprentice and became Wang Yue's outer disciple. When he can figure out the formation to break Mu Liangcheng, he will be accepted as a formal disciple."

Xiao Se found the key point when he heard this. He asked seriously, "Mu Liangcheng's formation? The formation my master used to trap Luo Qingyang?!"

Ye Ruoyi nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, Wuxin wanted to learn the formation, so he wanted to become your disciple. And after your master taught him the formation, he left. Logically, he should have arrived at Xueyue City by now, but I don't know why he hasn't arrived yet."

Lei Wujie said nonchalantly, "Master Chef is a martial arts master, there will be no problem, but Xiao Se, if you want to invite Master Chef, you have to find a way to pass the message on."

Xiao Se shook his head and said helplessly, "No, it's just a small matter, don't bother the master. I guess the master must have encountered something interesting. Let's face today's troubles first."

What he meant was the matter of today's visitors. If not enough people came today, his first appearance back in Apocalypse would be embarrassing.

At this moment, a waiter suddenly shouted, "Guests are coming!"

Everyone looked back and found that it was Lan Yuehou, so they hurried forward to greet him.

But Lan Yuehou smiled and said, "Xiao Se, look who I brought with me."

As he said this, he opened the curtain of the sedan chair behind him.

"Grand Tutor Dong Zhu?" The emperor was in a coma, and the two people who were regents were Grand Tutor Dong Zhu and Marquis Lan Yue.

Now, both of them are here.

Ye Ruoyi didn't expect it was them, so she quickly reminded Xiao Se and asked him to come and greet them.

Xiao Se seemed to have some impression of Grand Tutor Dong, but it had been so long that he had forgotten most of it. He hurried forward and bowed to the Grand Tutor, "Thank you, old Grand Tutor, for your presence."

The Grand Master smiled and said, "I didn't want to come in the first place, but I heard that you had no one here, so I just came to support you."

Xiao Se knew that this was a way to repay a favor, but the old Grand Tutor didn't owe many favors to begin with, so this way, it was considered as repaying all the favors, which gave him a bad feeling.

Although he was nervous in his heart, he said respectfully, "Please!"

The arrival of the two was like a signal. All officials, big and small, in the court, as long as they had the invitation, hurried over. Even the six ministers of the Ministry of Revenue Li Ruozhong, the Minister of Punishment Zhou De, the Minister of War Wu Jingcheng, the Minister of Personnel Xuan Dezhong, the Minister of Rites Xu Weicheng, and the Minister of Works Zhu Yumo, all came.

The arrival of these officials only occupied half of the Qianjin Terrace, and the other half, although a little off the beaten track, was still empty.

"I'm not late!"

A cheerful voice came over, Lei Wujie looked carefully and found that it was Mu Chunfeng, so he shouted loudly, "Qingzhou, Yunjian City, Mu family, the third son of Mu is here!"

"Brother Lei, you don't have to be so polite. I'm here not only to attend the banquet, but also to collect debts. Please don't be disgusted."

Mu Chunfeng was very happy to see Lei Wujie shouting so loudly, so he quickly explained.

Lei Wujie still didn't understand what was going on, but Ye Ruoyi did. This was because the Mu family of Qingzhou was the richest family in the world and many merchants had business dealings with them. If they offended the Mu family, no matter which family it was, their business would be unable to continue.

Therefore, Mu Chunfeng came here this time to support his friend and force those merchants to come.

"Thank you, Master Mu!"

Xiao Se was entertaining a few distinguished guests in the room at the moment. Since Sikong Qianluo understood what was going on, he thanked Mu Chunfeng openly.

Mu Chunfeng said nonchalantly, "We are friends, why be so polite? If you really want to thank me, then tell Senior Wang to let me become his disciple and learn medical skills."

Sikong Qianluo smiled and said, "When we see the master, we will definitely mention it to him. Even if he doesn't want to accept us as disciples, we will help you persuade the master's wife. She is the heir of Medicine King Valley and her medical skills are also very good."

"Really? Thank you, thank you!"

As he said this, he walked inside and chose a seat close to Xiao Se to sit down.

Not long after he arrived, all the major wealthy merchants in Tianqi City came. None of them had expected that Xiao Se actually knew someone from the Mu family. He was indeed not to be underestimated.

Although Qianjin Terrace was almost full now, none of Xiao Se's brothers came, which made Xiao Se realize that his brothers did not welcome him back to Kyoto.

Just when Xiao Se was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard Lei Wujie's shout, "National Master Qi Tianchen is here!"

Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the Imperial Master came, but he still went out to greet him hesitantly. After he saw Qi Tianchen, before he could salute, Qi Tianchen spoke first, "Sixth Prince, I wonder if your master will come today?"

Xiao Se was about to say he didn't know, but suddenly he felt a sound of breaking air.

Everyone looked back and found a sword box falling in the courtyard in front of Qianjintai. A young man also fell from the sky and stood on the sword box.

He took a look at the scene and guessed that this was Apocalypse City, so he shouted loudly,
"Yan Luo Palace, Lord Yan, ask the sword of Tianqi City!"

Hearing the reputation of Yama Palace, everyone looked over quickly, but what they saw was a child, which made people a little confused.
"Is the world's number one so young?"

"Is this man Lord Yan?"

Xiao Se listened to everyone's doubts, walked forward, and asked solemnly, "Wushuang, what do you mean!"

Wu Shuang saw that it was Xiao Se and knew that he was Wang Yue's disciple, so he smiled and said, "I don't know the way, your master sent me here, and the reward is that I am here to pass on a message for him."

Xiao Se looked at this unreliable Wushuang and said unhappily, "What are you talking about?"

Wushuang said as a matter of course, “It’s your master who wants to ask Jian Tianqi City!”

Xiao Se was not deaf, so of course he heard Wu Shuang's words, and asked unhappily, "When and where?"

After hearing this, Wushuang scratched his head and said uncertainly, "I forgot the date, but I remember your master mentioned something like purple or peak."

State Master Qi Tianchen's face turned pale in an instant. He asked in disbelief, "Top of the Forbidden City?"
