When the first ray of morning light came in, there was a knock on the door of the guest room.

The waiter's friendly voice sounded outside the door: "Guest officer, the hot water you want."

Nangong Ziyi was woken up, and looked sleepily at what Qi Jing took from the door, looked up at the window, rubbed her sore shoulders, stood up and stretched her muscles: "I fell asleep."

Qi Jing didn't sleep all night, but his spirit was extremely excited.

He rubbed the soft fur on the snow wolf cub's back, his eyes were full of light: "It's done."

Nangong Ziyi was combing her appearance, when she heard his inexplicable words, she turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qi Jing didn't go into details, and said directly: "Go to a place with me, and you will know."

The two quickly washed up and went downstairs, and after eating some food casually, Qi Jing took Nangong Ziyi to a place.

Under the governance of Wu Qing, Wumeng Town lived up to its name. Although it was a military center in northern Xinjiang, it was like a real small town in the south of the Yangtze River, full of lively and peaceful atmosphere, and the faces of the people selling and selling on the roadside were all full of smiles. It's an expression of ease and contentment.

Nangong Ziyi couldn't help but said with emotion: "The monarch is virtuous, the courtiers are loyal, there is no invasion from outside, no internal strife, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. How wonderful it would be if it could continue like this."

Mountains and rains were about to come and the building was full of wind, although Qi Jing didn't say it directly, but according to his own keen sense of smell, he had a premonition that something big was about to happen, so the seemingly peaceful and peaceful days might not be many.

Qi Jing was noncommittal, and led him to continue walking until he stopped in front of an inconspicuous residential house in the depths of a quiet alley.

And in front of the small house, there were two dusty, unremarkable gray-clothed men waiting.

Nangong Ziyi took a closer look, and found that it was the Twelve Guards of Bi Fang who had disappeared for a long time.

When the two Bi Fang saw Qi Jing, they immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads: "Your Majesty."

Qi Jing raised his hand to let them stand up: "This is it?"

Bi Fang whispered: "Yes."

Qi Jing pushed open the door, ordered the two to guard in front of the door, and threw the snow wolf cub in his arms to one of them, and with a slight sound of the door, he stepped into the extremely quiet place. small yard.

Nangong Ziyi hurriedly followed behind.

This residential house looks like no one has lived in it for a long time. Dust is piled up, cobwebs are everywhere, and there are a few smooth-furred mice that squeak and scurry in fright when they hear the noise.

Nangong Ziyi was full of doubts, and called out a spirit fan to block her nose: "What is Ah Jing looking for?"

He had very little information about Wu Meng Town, so he didn't know anything when he came here, his eyes were darkened, and he could only carefully follow Qi Jing every step of the way.Left and right, as long as Qi Jing won't harm him.

Qi Jing focused on observing everything around him without frowning: "Look for someone."

"Find someone?"

Nangong Ziyi looked around. They were already standing in the main house of this residential house. Apart from the abandoned mess and the breathing of the two of them, there was nothing.

Qi Jing concentrated his energy, and his spiritual sense explored the room one by one. When he scanned a certain point, his mind moved, and a cluster of dazzling aura appeared on his fingertips.He shouted in a low voice: "Go!"

The aura struck towards the cracked and dusty wine glass in the corner.

There was only a soft sound, and the wine glass instantly turned into a pile of powder.At the same time, the space where Qi Jing and the others were located also changed.

Nangong Ziyi suddenly realized: "It's an illusion!"

The originally narrow and cramped space became spacious and bright, and the breath of other people fluctuated in the originally dead air.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Qi Jing was still blinded by the sudden light.

He squinted his eyes, and after getting used to the light, a burst of applause came from in front of them, and at the same time a tough voice exclaimed: "Young people are awesome!"

Qi Jing looked up, they were still indoors, but the surrounding environment had changed a lot.

Most notably, the originally unpopular and narrow main house has now turned into an extremely spacious room.On both sides of them stood dozens of advanced cultivators, and on the high seat in front of them was a man dressed as a general, looking at them.

Those cultivators stared straight ahead, even when Qi Jing and the others suddenly appeared, they didn't turn their eyes away, treating them as nothing, like air.

But Qi Jing knew that this just showed that the people in the seat followed the rules and ruled well.

He stood in the middle of the main house, calmly accepted the other party's probing gaze, and said in a low voice: "Northern Xinjiang is hard to endure. General Wu Qing has been away from Beijing for many years. He must have forgotten his duty as a courtier."

Nangong Ziyi was stunned, it turned out that the person above him was the famous Wu Qing.

No wonder the spies he placed in Wumeng Town couldn't find any useful information. Who would have thought that the famous general stationed in the northern border would be so proficient in illusion?Even blatantly used this in the army.

As we all know, the northern border is an important military defense area of ​​the Great Moon Kingdom, and every move of the upper-level generals should be within the range that the monarch can detect.Illusion, on the other hand, has always been regarded as trickery in the Great Moon Kingdom, and is extremely feared by the monarch.

And Wu Qing in front of him not only cast illusions in front of Qi Jing without fear, but also uttered wild words in front of Qi Jing.It can be seen from this that Wu Qing is either arrogant and arrogant because of his reputation, or he is trusted by Qi Wangshan.

But no matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for Qi Jing.

The new king was in front of him, he didn't show respect, he didn't kneel down, obviously, he didn't trust Qi Jing, Wu Qing, an old fox.

Qi Jing didn't know that Nangong Ziyi was secretly worrying about him, so she put aside what she just said, and stared at Wu Qing without avoiding it, quietly waiting for his response.

After a while, Wu Qing laughed loudly, slapped her big palm on the desk, got up and strode towards Qi Jing, stopped two steps away from him, bowed her hands and saluted: "Your Majesty."

Speaking of leading people to sit down on the seat, he said, "The incident happened suddenly. The old minister didn't know that the king came here before, so he used this to find out the truth. I hope that the king will not be surprised."

Qi Jing looked at him with a half-smile: "Can you see clearly now?"

Wu Qing avoided answering: "The news uploaded by the old gentleman in Kyoto is naturally correct."

It means that he doesn't believe in anyone except Laojun who went to Mount Qiwangshan.

Old fox!

Qi Jing and Nangong Ziyi cursed secretly in their hearts at the same time.

Qi Jing knows that some things and some beliefs are deeply rooted and accumulated. For example, Wu Qing's loyalty to Qi Wangshan is only for Qi Wangshan. Give your allegiance to him.

But Wu Qing's loyalty to Qi Wangshan is enough for him.After all, he and Qi Wangshan are on the same front, and the purpose of coming here is also to borrow the power of Qi Wangshan, not to incite these people to rebel against Qi Wangshan.

Qi Jing sipped the hot tea that was brought to his mouth, and said with a smile: "I have heard that General Wu Qing is strong and loyal, and seeing him today, it is indeed so."

Wu Qing replied imperceptibly: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, this is the duty of a courtier, it's nothing."

Qi Jing slowly put down the teacup: "To be honest, I came to visit today because I have a private matter to ask the general for help."

Wu Qing said in his mouth: "The old minister is terrified, please tell me, Your Majesty." There was no trace of panic in the pair of tiger eyes.

Qi Jing took out a piece of lotus sapphire from his arms and put it on the desk: "Does General Wu recognize this?"

Wu Qing's expression was finally slightly touched when he saw Qingyu.

This piece of sapphire is about the size of a baby's fist, and the lotus flower pattern on it is formed naturally, with a little red in the middle, the whole is round and soft, with a hint of coolness, making it unforgettable.

Wu Qing took the sapphire with her thick hands, her voice trembling unnoticed: "This is... this is..."

Qi Jing nodded: "Yes, it is the token of General Shen Shuo."

Wu Qing's dark lips trembled a few times, and she quickly returned to normal, and asked straight to the point: "What does your lord mean?"

Qi Jing carefully considered his words, combined the information he had just found, and said, "I heard that General Shen Shuo was the Bole of General Wu Qing in the past, is this true?"

Wu Qing stroked the lotus sapphire with thick callused hands, nodded and said: "It is true."

He slowly said: "Back then, the old minister was just a down-and-out household in the south of the Yangtze River who had failed many trials and times. My bones are excellent, which is a good material for cultivation. He also instructed me to abandon my pen and join the army, asserting that if I join the army, I will definitely do something in the future. In desperation, the old minister followed General Shen Shuo to the northern border, and served as a pawn in the army. From now on, it is only today that I am appreciated by the old gentleman.”

Qi Jing understood it, and asked him: "The general, does the general know who this sapphire in your hand belongs to?"

Wu Qing was stunned: "I don't know about this. Although General Shen Shuo had the kindness to know you, but the old minister only stayed under General Shen Shuo's seat for a few days and didn't have a close relationship. He just saw this piece of sapphire by accident. The shape is very special, so it was very impressive. Later, General Shen Shuo died, and the veterans also sent people to investigate the news of his family members, but they found nothing." Speaking of this, he seemed to have suddenly noticed something, He suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Jing: "Your Majesty's question means..."

He hesitated, a thought popped up in his mind, he wanted to confirm but he didn't dare to ask, he was afraid that his hope would be in vain, after all so many years had passed, the bones buried in the ground must have been turned into ashes.

Qi Jing said: "If the blood of the old man is in deep danger, will the general lend a helping hand?"

Without even thinking about it, Wu Qing said loudly, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he realized something, and glanced at Qi Jing's face: "Your Majesty, old minister..."

Qi Jing interrupted him with a smile: "Then I have General Lao, pass the order."
