Duke Zhou squinted at him and said, "With your current level of cultivation, if someone robs you of silver on the way, can you stop him?!"
The First Elder raised his eyebrows, "Who dares to steal Shenzong's money?!"
Zhou Gongjin sighed, "Other people don't dare, but the regent and the princess are not afraid of the gods!"
What He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao did was to embarrass him and Shenzong. These two people couldn't do anything. The few hundred thousand taels of silver they had left could not be confiscated by them anymore.
After hearing this, the Great Elder just sighed helplessly. If it was just him, with his current strength, He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao would be able to easily kill him by just sending a random dragon without them having to do anything.
After simple preparations, a group of carriages gradually left Shenzong. In the middle of the motorcade was a golden carriage, which was filled with divine light and looked particularly solemn and dignified.
Soon, the news reached the palace. Chu Tianjiao and He Lanji were sitting in the hall eating. When they heard the news, they just looked at each other and smiled.
"This old bastard can't bear it anymore!" Chu Tianjiao took the milk cake that He Lanji brought to her mouth in his mouth. After chewing it and swallowing it, there was already a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he looked at An An who was standing in the corner of the room.
The leader of the flame group said, "Go and gather the people of the capital to welcome our old sect master properly!"
When He Lanji heard this, his chopsticks for picking vegetables froze slightly, and he smiled helplessly and shook his head. He knew in his heart that Chu Tianjiao was still thinking about what Shenzong had done to him, and he would never do it unless he humiliated Zhou Gongjin.
willingly.
At dusk, Shenzong's motorcade finally arrived at the Wuli Pavilion outside the south gate of Qitian City.
Under the setting sun, the golden armor of the guardian cavalry gleamed, complementing the magnificent carriage, making it appear extraordinary.
The convoy was still moving forward, and the guards from the sect who had gone ahead turned around and came back to report, "Tell the sect master that a lot of people have gathered at the south city gate!"
"Oh?!" Inside the carriage, Zhou Gongjin frowned slightly, "What are they going to do?!"
"This..." the guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think he knew that the sect master was coming, so he came here to greet him!"
Zhou Gongjin was silent for a moment, with a vague sense of ominousness in his heart. He raised the curtain to look at the weather outside, and finally said in a deep voice, "Instruct everyone to guard carefully and continue moving forward!"
It was getting late, and the calmness along the way did not calm Zhou Gongjin's mind.
If you delay any longer, you may have to stay overnight outside the city. The rolling hills on both sides of the south city gate are perfect for setting up a burial. Your opponent is Chu Tianjiao, that little girl who doesn't follow common sense and doesn't take God seriously at all. Duke Zhou
I have to think a little more.
The convoy gradually moved forward, and in front of it, the walls of Qitian City were clearly visible.
Sure enough, as the guard said, there were many villagers outside the city gate on both sides of the road, some of them holding baskets in their hands.
This kind of formation is not unfamiliar to Zhou Gongjin.
Not to mention him before, even wherever the eight elders went, they were always greeted by the people and flowers spread on the ground. Remembering the decline of Shenzong in recent days, Duke Zhou leaned back on his chair again and let out a deep sigh.
Among the crowd, a bright red object suddenly rose into the air, drew an arc shadow in the air, and hit Zhou Gongjin's carriage diagonally.
"Sect master, be careful!" A Shenzong disciple protecting the car beside the car shouted in surprise. He flew up from the horse and struck the "hidden weapon" with his sword.
