The two deputy national preceptors were playing chess in the backyard.
The old man wearing a blue-gray official robe is Guishi Ren, one of the deputy national advisers, and the other old man is Chen Su, another deputy national adviser.
Although they are both deputy national preceptors, in terms of strength and background, Guishi Ren is slightly superior.
"Brother Chen Su, I won."
The noble man said with a smile.
"Brother Shi Ren's chess skills are beyond my reach in this lifetime."
Chen Su smiled and said, with a hint of flattery in his tone.
"Haha, I once learned Tao through chess. Brother Chen Su, if you want to beat me, you can try it and observe chess in seclusion for ten years."
Guishiren has no modesty. His chess skills are rarely matched by opponents. This is the capital of his pride. There is no need to be modest.
"That's all, that's all. How difficult it is to understand Tao through chess. I still have self-awareness and don't want to waste my efforts."
Chen Su waved his hand.
"You can't stand the loneliness. Let's stop talking and let's play another game."
Gui Shiren waved his hand, and the scattered black and white chess pieces on the chessboard floated into the air, and then the black and white chess pieces separated and returned to their respective chess boxes.
"That's it for today. Let's try another day. I heard that Concubine Xi's father, General Qin, was injured while patrolling the sea. Brother Shiren, do you know what happened?
General Qin's cultivation is only slightly weaker than ours, and there are not many people in the world who can hurt him."
Chen Su changed the topic and said.
"Although what I say is true, there are so many practitioners in the world. Don't underestimate any practitioner. There are many examples of people who kill intermediate Jindan realm with the basic Golden Core realm. The person who injured General Qin is
There is a monk in white clothes. General Qin said that this man is very good at water-based supernatural powers. His whole body is hidden in the water vapor, and his face cannot be seen clearly."
Gui Shiren said.
"On the sea, monks who are good at water-based supernatural powers are simply more powerful than a tiger. However, this monk in white clothes dared to injure General Qin in the waters near the imperial capital. He is very courageous. Can the background of the monk in white clothes be found out?"
Chen Su said.
"No, the other party is obviously unwilling to reveal his identity, and he is only on an ordinary merchant ship. There is no clue. However, the other party should have come to the imperial capital. If he doesn't show up, that's fine. Once he shows up, I will help General Qin take revenge.
of."
Gui Shiren said.
Chen Su nodded while stroking his beard and said: "I'm afraid even those in the Nascent Soul Realm would not dare to act recklessly in the imperial capital. Outsiders don't know, but how could we not know that the ancestors of the Qin family have already entered the Nascent Soul Realm?
, that man in white probably doesn’t know General Qin’s background.”
"Haha, not to mention other places, in this Ten Thousand Islands Empire, even if you are in the ordinary Nascent Soul Realm, you still have to give face to our Imperial Master's Office. Brother Chen Su, if you and I join forces, it will not be better than the first-level Nascent Soul Realm.
How much weaker."
Guishi Ren smiled and said.
"Brother Shi Ren, please stop flattering me. You are only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. If you use Shengtian Chess, you won't be able to gain even half a cent from the Elementary Nascent Soul Realm."
Chen Su said.
"Ha ha."
Guishi Ren smiled and was noncommittal. This Shengtian chess was his trump card, and it was terrifyingly powerful. However, to use Shengtian chess, he had to use chess pieces. The pieces were fragile, so Guishi Renke couldn't bear to use them casually.
As the two men were talking, suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and several worshipers from the Imperial Master's Office hurriedly came.
Guishi Ren and Chen Su stopped talking and laughing and looked at the visitor solemnly.
"Why are you so panicked?"
Guishi Ren asked.
"Reporting to the Imperial Preceptor, Commander Wei, Mr. Qin has been killed."
One of the worshipers said quickly.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gui Shiren and Chen Su changed, especially Gui Shiren, his eyes bulged, and his body exuded strong murderous intent.
"Who did it?"
Guishiren asked in a deep voice.
"It's a young man. Mr. Qin just sent someone back to say that when he was buying sacred bone jade for Concubine Ru at Dafeng Pharmacy, he had a conflict with a young man. He was injured by the young man, so Wei
Commander went to avenge him, Commander Wei led us to the South District, and finally found the young man in Zuixiang Tower. At that time, the young man was eating with Concubine De in the private room, Commander Wei and Lord Qin asked
We went out to wait, and we didn’t think much about it. After all, with Commander Wei present, I didn’t think the young man would be able to make any waves. But who would have thought that after waiting for a while, the door of the private room opened, and Empress De Fei and the young man left.
, I entered the private room to check, and found that Commander Wei and Master Qin were sitting on chairs. They had become ice sculptures. They must have been frozen instantly by the young man using some kind of ice magic power. They broke into pieces when touched. I can't wait.
If you dare to move it at will, you will come back and report it in a hurry."
Worship said.
After listening to the report, Gui Shiren and Chen Su's expressions turned from angry to shocked.
"You are outside, can you hear the sound of fighting inside?"
Guishi Ren asked.
"No, judging from the postures of Commander Wei and Master Qin, they must have fallen into the opponent's plot without any precautions."
Worship said.
Guishi Ren and Chen Su couldn't help but look solemn. They knew Commander Wei's cultivation level and could freeze them in an instant. At least they were high-level Jindan realm monks, or they used some kind of ice.
Cold secret method, or magic weapon.
No matter what, if your opponent dares to kill Commander Wei and Master Qin openly, this is already a blatant provocation to the Imperial Prefecture.
"Let's go to Zuixiang Tower."
Gui Shiren pondered for a moment, and then said.
…
Zuixiang Tower.
Gui Shiren looked at the two headless ice sculptures in front of him, his face as gloomy as dead water.
"Brother Shiren, I have seen a lot of the extremely cold air in the world, but I have never seen the cold air in Commander Wei and Qin Yi in my life. I just wanted to enter a spiritual power exploration
I tried to touch Commander Wei's body, but the cold air enveloped my spiritual power, and it seemed that even my spiritual power could be frozen, it was really terrifying."
Chen Su withdrew his hand from touching Commander Wei and said with lingering fear.
"No matter who it is, I will make him pay the price."
The fists in Guishi's sleeves were clenched tightly, and his tone was suppressed.
"You just said that the man was having dinner with Concubine De. Could it be that he was an expert invited by Concubine De? During this period, many important ministers and concubines in the harem recommended him for running for the position of Imperial Master.
A monk."
Chen Su looked at the worshipers next to him and said, compared to Gui Shiren's anger, he was not too angry. Commander Wei only took orders from Gui Shiren, and Qin Yi was Gui Shiren's disciple. Regarding their deaths,
Chen Su didn't feel much sadness in his heart.
"Yes, we are indeed together with Concubine De. As for the relationship with Concubine De, I don't know yet."
