The gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, seeming to wake up the entire Kyoto.
In Kyoto, many people raised their heads and frowned at the fireworks in the sky.
In the courtyard in the center of the imperial palace, Di Renjie walked out of the room wearing a cloak and looked at the disappearing fireworks with a solemn expression.
The official residence, whose full name is Sacred Heart Square, is a residential area specially built by the court for civil servants and military officers.
Many officials who do not have residences in Kyoto will live here, and the residences of chess figures such as Di Renjie, Wang Shouren, Li Ru, Yuwen Chengdu and others are located in Sacred Heart Square.
Of course, there are also officials who do not live in Sacred Heart Square, such as Situ Changkong, who is the Duke of the Town and has the Duke's Mansion.
In the courtyard, Di Renjie asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Master Qi, the specific situation is not clear yet. I have arranged for someone to find out." An old servant in his sixties next to him replied.
Naturally, Qin Wei would not treat his chess pieces badly.
The mansion, servants, and all the necessary Qin Wei arrangements will be made for them.
Qin Wei would even worry about his wives and concubines.
Don't think wrongly, it is a serious concern, there is nothing wrong with it, Qin Wei is not a thief, he will not miss other people's wives, he just hopes that the chess pieces can have a complete and warm home in this world.
Di Renjie naturally knew that this was a signal for help from the Imperial City Division, but he did not understand why the Imperial City Division would use such a signal in Kyoto.
Qin Wei just returned to Beijing today, and something like this happened in Kyoto, which made him feel a little dissatisfied.
Fortunately, the signal was located on the edge of Kyoto, not near the Imperial City, otherwise he would have been even more anxious.
"Send someone to the Imperial City Department to ask what's going on?"
"Here!" the old servant responded.
Not only Di Renjie was dissatisfied, many people in Kyoto were very dissatisfied with the Imperial City Secretary's actions.
You must know that this is Kyoto, and you must be cautious when acting in Kyoto. What's more important is that Qin Wei just returned to the palace today, and the Imperial City Department made such a fuss. How would Qin Wei treat the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?
In fact, Wang An was also very angry at this time. He also knew that Qin Wei had just returned to Beijing today. If possible, he naturally did not want to make himself uncomfortable at this time.
But there were Blood Demon Cultists in front of him, and they were not ordinary Blood Demon Cultists. He definitely couldn't let them go, so he could only call for help.
In fact, he had been very well prepared. In addition to the dozens of soldiers who entered the house, he also placed more than 200 soldiers around him, considering that the opponent was relatively strong.
But he never expected that the Blood Demon cultists here were actually a Jingzhao Realm expert and two innate warriors.
As a result, all his arrangements were in vain.
If the strength is not enough, no matter how many other preparations you make, it will be useless.
Seeing that the three Blood Demon cultists were about to escape from the encirclement he had set, Wang An's eyes flashed with urgency.
If this makes people run away, then he will really have no face to see Qin Wei tomorrow.
However, his worries were obviously unnecessary. Just as the three Blood Demon cultists were fleeing towards the western city wall, a voice suddenly sounded in the night.
"Who dares to be so arrogant in Kyoto!"
The sound is continuous, not necessarily deafening, but it can suppress all the surrounding sounds and reach everyone's ears.
Wang An looked up and saw a figure hanging in mid-air in front of the three Blood Demon cultists.
When he saw the person coming, he let out a long breath.
At this time, the three Blood Demon Cultists also stopped.
Their whole bodies were wrapped in black cloaks, making it difficult to see their true appearance, but since they stopped, it meant that they were full of fear of the people in front of them.
The person standing in front of them was none other than Tie Shou, the military envoy of Dali Town.
Over the years, Tie Shou has been in charge of the Zhenwu Division in Dali, and as the Zhenwu Division's envoy, Tie Shou can be said to have a high and powerful position, and his status in the court is no lower than that of Zhuge Zhengwo, who is in charge of the Yanwu Pavilion.
In the Dali Court Hall, in addition to those powerful Jizhao Realm members from the Enshrining Court, the cabinet ministers and the military aircraft minister from the Military Aircraft Department have the highest status. In addition to these important ministers, the second most important ministers are the Zhenwu Division, the Zhenwu Envoy Tie Shou, and the Yanwu Pavilion Wu Zheng. Zhuge Zhengwo, Tiandao Temple master Zuo Ci, Wanfo Temple abbot Wuhua and Royal Chamber of Commerce president Shen Wansan.
Don't miss Shen Wansan. The others are unknown outside Dali, but they all have high status in Dali court.
As for the reason, it was naturally given to them by Qin Wei.
But now, Zhuge Zhengwo, Tie Shou, Di Renjie, Wang Shouren and others have all reached the Silent Light Realm.
Especially Tie Shou and Zhuge Zhengwo, their artistic conception cultivation has reached the second level of divine artistic conception.
Although they are no longer the first echelon of chess figures, Qin Wei will not let them fall too far behind. Qin Wei will never be stingy with the resources and white chess pieces that should be given.
The only thing Qin Wei is stingy about is that he no longer consumes energy to improve the cultivation of his chess pieces.
But even so, the cultivation of the chess characters is still improving very quickly. After all, Qin Wei also has white chess pieces, which can replace many resources.
At this time, Tie Shou was wearing a black moiré robe and looked at the three people in front of him calmly.
The three Blood Demon Cultists in front of them did not stop for long. They also knew that this was Dali Kyoto. Now that they had been exposed, if they continued to stay here, it would definitely be a dead end.
So after they paused for a while, the three of them looked at each other and fled in three directions.
Among them, the Jingzhao Realm powerhouse naturally flew towards Tie Shou. Of course, he had no intention of getting entangled with Tie Shou. He just wanted to cross Tie Shou and leave Kyoto City. After all, Tie Shou's current direction is due west and is leaving Kyoto City. nearest direction.
However, he wanted to escape, but Iron Hand could not let him go so easily.
The Blood Demon Cultist was very fast and flew to Tie Shou's left side almost instantly. If Tie Shou's reaction had been a little slower, he might have been able to escape.
I saw Iron Hand wave his hands, and two condensed qi energy turned into two huge palms, and they suddenly grabbed the Blood Demon Cultist.
The Blood Demon Cultist is not a weakling either. He has been paying attention to Iron Hand's movements. The moment he discovered Iron Hand's move, his flying speed suddenly increased by three points.
Unfortunately, he seemed to have underestimated Iron Hand.
The moment his speed increased, Iron Hand's palms condensing the true energy also accelerated suddenly.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, a one-foot-long palm of true energy suddenly struck the body of the Blood Demon Cultist, causing the Blood Demon Cultist to fly backwards like a cannonball.
Immediately afterwards, Iron Hands stepped forward and slapped the Blood Demon Cultist with a pair of true energy palms.
Although the Blood Demon Cultist kept blocking his attacks, it was a pity that he lost the opportunity and still had no chance to fight back, so he could only be beaten passively.
In just a moment, he was slapped on the street by an iron hand.
The cloak was taken off, revealing a pale face and a pair of blood-red eyes.
Tie Shou stood in front of him, frowning and thinking for a while, this person was not from Dali, and he was probably not a strong person around Dali.
Although Tie Shou has hardly left Dali in the past two years, he is still very familiar with Dali and the powerful Jishihao Realm people around Dali.
At this moment, Wang An came to Tie Shou's side.
The other two Blood Demon Cultists have already been captured by the Imperial City Division's people. They are just two innate masters. With the Imperial City Division's strength, they can easily capture them.
"I've seen Lord Tie!" Wang An came closer and bowed to salute.
Tieshou returned the greeting humbly: "I've met the prince!"
"Who is this?" he asked curiously.
Until now, he only knew that this was the person that the Imperial City Division wanted to arrest, but he did not know that the other person was a Blood Demon cultist.
"Blood Demon Cultist! We thought there were only two or three small fish, but we didn't expect to encounter a big fish!" Wang An said with a bitter smile on his face.
Iron Hand suddenly realized, no wonder his eyes were scarlet, he turned out to be a Blood Demon Cultist.
"Then leave the rest to the prince!"
When Wang An heard this, he said: "Master Tie, please wait for a moment. The people who will snare him will be here soon. This person still needs to be dealt with by the people who snare him."
This matter involves the Blood Demon Sect, which is no longer something that the Imperial City Division can handle.
Moreover, the Imperial City Division has no experience in imprisoning and interrogating powerful people in the Jiuzhao Realm. If this person is brought back to the Imperial City Division, there is no telling what kind of trouble it will cause.
Tie Shou naturally would not refuse Wang An's request. He stood with his hands behind his back and waited quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wu came to the scene with a team of net warriors, but they left soon after, and apart from the broken bricks and stones, the street returned to its previous quiet state.
…
The next morning.
Qin Wei only found out what happened last night when he came out of Situ Qianxue's palace.
The place where the incident occurred was relatively far away from the imperial city, so Qin Wei would not have heard any sound. If no one reported it, Qin Wei would definitely not know about it.
Of course, if something like this happened in Kyoto, and Wang Anhui used fireworks for help, someone would definitely report it to Qin Wei, but these reports were all stopped by Xiao Shunzi.
As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding. Qin Wei, who has just returned, naturally does not want to be disturbed. Xiao Shunzi is not stupid, so how can he disturb Qin Wei's elegance because of such a trivial matter.
When they arrived at the Shengtian Palace, Xiao Shunzi followed Qin Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the prince and Xiao Wu are asking for an audience outside the palace."
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said, "Let them come in after the morning court."
Now that I'm back, I'll naturally go to court.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were waiting outside the palace, but Qin Wei could not let them go.
In fact, there are not many things that need to be dealt with in the morning. The cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department have already dealt with the matters that need to be dealt with. There is no need to wait for Qin Wei to deal with it.
However, Qin Wei's study is already full of memorials. Although the cabinet and the military aircraft department have completed all the government affairs of the court, the Chief of Ceremonies will leave copies of the memorials and put them in Qin Wei's study to facilitate Qin Wei's understanding of the dynasty.
political affairs.
In just two quarters of an hour, the morning court was over. Qin Wei returned to the study, and Xiao Shunzi brought Wang An and Xiao Wu over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The two saluted.
Qin Wei flipped through the memorials on his desk and said casually: "Well, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the two stood up, Wang An said: "Your Majesty, last night~~"
He reported what happened last night.
After Qin Wei finished listening, he looked at Xiao Wu and asked, "What did you find?"
Xiao Wu replied: "This man's name is Yu Ji. He is a warrior from the Changbo Sea. He joined the Blood Demon Sect fifty years ago and has also met the leader of the Blood Demon Sect."
"This person came to our court on the order of the leader of the Blood Demon Cult. The purpose is to check the strength of our court."
"According to him, the leader of the Blood Demon Sect may be related to the Shenglan Dynasty, and his status in the Shenglan Dynasty should be high, but he doesn't know the specific identity."
After entering the prison, it was almost like hell. There were very few people who could remain silent under the torture of the net, and this Yu Ji was obviously not a person who could persevere.
So in just one night, Yu Ji explained everything he knew.
"Shenglan Dynasty!" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows.
He did not expect that the notorious Blood Demon Sect would actually be related to the Shenglan Dynasty.
You must know that the Shenglan Dynasty is the richest dynasty in the Western Sea, and its strength is also extremely powerful, at least stronger than the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
"Can you find out the identity of the leader of the Blood Demon Cult?" Qin Wei asked.
Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and said: "This needs to be investigated in detail by the Shenglan Dynasty, and it may require the intervention of two commanders!"
The leader of the Blood Demon Cult may have a very high status in the Sheng Lan Dynasty. If you want to investigate his true identity, you must use the elite power of the net.
Xiao Wu is just the person in charge of Luo Wang's headquarters. To put it simply, he does odd jobs at the headquarters. Luo Wang's elite forces are all in the hands of Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang.
Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let Yuan Tiangang go to the Shenglan Dynasty!"
Zhao Gao is still in the Giant Spirit Dynasty, and the Sky Alliance will continue to fight against the Giant Spirit Dynasty in the future. Zhao Gao definitely cannot leave the Giant Spirit Dynasty at this time.
On the contrary, Yuan Tiangang happened to have nothing important to do for the time being, so he could spare time to go to the Shenglan Dynasty.
Xiao Shunzi next to him heard this and immediately responded: "Here!"
Afterwards, Xiao Wu and Wang An resigned.
But Qin Wei fell into deep thought.
The Blood Demon Sect is actually targeting Dali, and this time he is the leader of the Blood Demon Sect.
You don't need to think about Qin Wei to know what the leader of the Blood Demon Sect is planning. In fact, it is very normal for the other party to want to take revenge. After all, Dali ruined the Blood Demon Sect's plan in the spiritual sea.
But Dali is not someone to be trifled with now, and the Blood Demon Sect probably won't come to Dali in a short time.
Now they are still investigating Dali's strength. Before they know Dali's strength, they will definitely not act easily.
The Blood Demon Cult is not like other forces. The Blood Demon Cult cannot do anything aboveboard. Every action they take needs to be carefully planned, and their identity must be hidden. Otherwise, once exposed, they will be like rats crossing the street, and everyone will cry out to beat them up.
Therefore, they should not come to trouble Dali in the short term, so Qin Wei put the matter aside for the time being and prepared to look at the mountains of memorials.
But just when he opened the first memorial, a sound exploded like thunder above the imperial city.
"Zhao Miante from Tianmu Mountain came to see His Majesty the Emperor Li, and also asked His Majesty the Emperor Li to show up!"
