Qi Jinfeng wore a gold hairpin and stood next to him with a stooped body.
"That Ye Gucheng is really strong!"
Qi Jinfeng asked in a low voice.
Yu Zheng smiled bitterly: "It's a bit ridiculously strong."
To be honest, Yu Zheng was feeling extremely depressed at this time.
In the battle at Heiyaling, Ye Gucheng's appearance stole everyone's limelight.
Originally he thought that he would not interact with Ye Gucheng, but he never expected that as soon as he returned to the sect, Qi Jinfeng told him that a warrior named Ye Gucheng wanted to challenge his master Yu Shan.
At first, Yu Zheng thought he heard wrongly.
But with Qi Jinfeng's repeated confirmation, he had to believe that it was true.
"Defeat Jin An with one sword, Senior Sister, do you think Master can do it?" Yu Zheng asked softly.
Qi Jinfeng's old face showed a bit of solemnity, "If you can't do it, let alone a sword, even if you try your best, senior brother is no match for Jin An."
Yu Zheng took a deep breath, "Then Master will definitely lose this time!"
Qi Jinfeng shook her head and said nothing, but her sunken eyes were full of worry.
…
Tianzhou City.
After defeating Jin An, Qin Wei came to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
The Blood Clothes Building has been destroyed, and the points obtained by each major sect have been almost determined.
Next, Qin Wei will fulfill his previous promise and arrange official positions for various major sects.
But now Tianzhou Zhenwu Division doesn't even have a yamen station, which is somewhat unjustifiable.
So Qin Wei came to Tian Sixin to ask if there was a suitable place that could be used as a yamen residence.
"Meet Your Highness!"
In the main hall of the Chief Secretary, Tian Sixin and a group of officials paid homage to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei sat on the main seat and nodded slightly, "Please excuse me."
Compared with before, there are many fewer officials in the Chief Secretary's Yamen. There are seven or eight vacant positions for officials of sixth grade and above.
As for where the few officials went, they naturally went to the prison of the Inspector General.
I have to say that Ji Lin's acting style is still very fierce. Even though Qin Wei has already handed over the message, Ji Lin still wins seven or eight officials in the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
It's not that Ji Lin didn't give Qin Wei face, he had already done what Qin Wei said.
Catch the big ones and release the small ones, and those who surrender will be given a lighter sentence.
If it weren't for Qin Wei's words, the Chief Secretary would probably have only a few people left.
"Master Tian, I want to establish the Zhenwu Si Yamen, and this Yamen station is indispensable." Qin Wei looked at Tian Sixin and said.
Tian Sixin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Your Highness, if Your Highness is in a hurry, I can ask the Chief Secretary to free up this official residence and use it as the Yamen of the Zhenwu Division."
Qin Wei rolled his eyes and asked the Chief Secretary to vacate the official residence. Isn't this asking for trouble?
If this matter reaches the court, I don't know how the censors and bureaucrats will spread rumors about him.
"No, the Zhenwu Si Yamen does not need to be too big, as long as it has a larger courtyard."
According to Qin Wei's idea, the Tianzhou Zhenwu Division, like the Kyoto Zhenwu Division, would set up eight thousand household divisions, two of which would stay in Tianzhou City, and the remaining six thousand household divisions would be assigned to
Among the nineteen prefectures in Tianzhou, each county will have about two small banners, and each prefecture will have about three hundred households.
Although this will distract the Zhenwu Division's power, it can more effectively supervise all martial arts forces in the entire Tianzhou.
Again, the Zhenwu Division is not an army, but a government office similar to six doors.
After the Tianzhou Zhenwu Division was established, its main responsibilities were twofold: one was to supervise the folk martial arts forces, and the other was to combat crimes committed by warriors.
Therefore, it is very necessary to decentralize the Zhenwu Division to the county seat.
As for Zhenwusi's Yamen garrison in Tianzhou, it doesn't need a big place, just enough to handle daily official duties.
"Here, there is no suitable courtyard in the city!" Tian Sixin was a little embarrassed.
It wasn't that he was refusing on purpose, but that the buildings in Tianzhou City were owned by their owners.
Qin Wei also understood these situations, "If it doesn't work, just buy one."
"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary has no money!" Tian Sixin said.
"..."
Qin Wei felt that the old man was playing tricks again.
"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary really has no money to spare!" Tian Sixin felt Qin Wei's suspicious gaze and said without tears.
At this time, how could he dare to act cunning in front of Qin Wei.
He had just handed over the memorial of self-defense, and he should have entered the imperial city at this time. If Qin Wei wanted to stumble him, a memorial would be enough to ruin his reputation.
Qin Wei didn't bother to care about the Chief Secretary's financial situation, "We don't need your Chief Secretary's money, our Zhenwu Division has money!"
"Let's go and see if there is a suitable location first!"
After that, he ignored Tian Sixin who was still wiping his sweat, got up and left the Chief Secretary.
Tian Sixin quickly called to He Zhijie to follow him.
Afterwards, the group came to the street in front of the Chief Secretary's door.
This street is the main street of Tianzhou City, leading directly to the east and west city gates. The Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary, the General Secretary and the Dusi are all located on this street.
Qin Wei also wanted to put the Zhenwusi's Yamen on this street.
Qin Wei has walked through this street many times, and is quite familiar with the buildings on both sides of the street, and has several suitable options in mind.
After walking about three hundred meters eastward along the street, Qin Wei stopped in front of an exquisite and gorgeous building.
Yunyan Pavilion!
"Whose property is this?" Qin Wei asked.
Tian Sixin and He Zhijie looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, this is the property of Wanfu Temple."
"What's the business inside?" Qin Wei continued to ask.
"This~~"
Tian Sixin hesitated.
Qin Wei gave him a strange look and didn't know why he hesitated.
"Forget it, let's go in and take a look."
"Wait~~" Tian Sixin stopped Qin Wei.
Qin Wei frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, this is a brothel!" Tian Sixin said in a low voice.
Qin Wei's expression froze, and he raised his head to look at the gorgeous and exquisite pavilion.
Antique, solemn and gorgeous!
It doesn't look like a brothel, it feels more like a place of spiritual cultivation for Buddhist enlightenment.
Moreover, Qin Wei passed by here several times before and did not see any singing girls soliciting customers!
"Ahem, Yunyan Pavilion is not an ordinary brothel, but a place where red sleeves add incense. It is full of courtesans, and they all know how to worship the Buddha and chant sutras. It is a quiet place to worship the Buddha." Tian Sixin said awkwardly.
"Shit!"
"A brothel is a brothel, a quiet place to worship Buddha!"
Qin Wei felt that he and the brothel seemed to have an indescribable fate.
When he was in Kyoto, he sealed the Fenxiang Pavilion, but now the Fenxiang Pavilion has been unsealed.
There is no way, there are relatively few entertainment items for the people of Kyoto. In order to develop the entertainment industry in Kyoto, Qin Wei cannot always ban the Incense Pavilion.
So he returned the Fenxiang Pavilion to the Xinyi Sect.
As for who the Incense Pavilion belongs to now, Qin Wei said he didn't know.
But Li Ru and Cheng Zhao knew better.
Probably, it might belong to a certain county prince's palace!
There is no need to say more about which county and prince's palace it is.
But Qin Wei didn't expect that the place he liked in Tianzhou City was actually a brothel.
"A group of monks open a brothel, and the world is in decline!"
Qin Wei looked up at Yunyan Pavilion.
This place is large enough and has ready-made pavilions and courtyards, making it very suitable for being the yamen of the Zhenwu Division.
"Since we are from Manpukuji Temple, there is no need to worry!"
"Go back!"
After Qin Wei finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Tian Sixin and He Zhijie looked at each other, wondering what Qin Wei meant.
…
In a small town at the foot of the Lishan Sword Sect.
A young man wearing a brocade robe was walking leisurely on the busy street.
Behind the young man was an old man with gray hair.
"Uncle Yan, how strong do you think Ye Gucheng is?"
The young man asked while looking at the stalls and shops around him.
The old man said: "The strength of Jin An is not weak, and the person who can defeat him must not be an ordinary person. However, the rumors may be a bit exaggerated. The old man thinks that Ye Gucheng should have understood the power and intention of the sword, and has not really touched the realm.
level."
"Why?" The young man was slightly surprised.
"First, it's because of his age. There are rumors in the market that Ye Gucheng looks less than forty years old. Although the higher the cultivation level, the slower his appearance becomes. However, it is impossible to reach the innate state before the age of forty. He is old and decrepit.
I estimate he should be around sixty years old."
"To reach the innate state at the age of sixty is considered to be an extraordinary talent."
"The second reason is because of the description of the battle between the two in the rumors. Everyone said that Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was superb, but the innate warrior focused on intention rather than technique!"
"Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship may be very powerful, but his swordsmanship should not be very strong."
The old man said slowly.
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, which made the young men feel very reasonable.
Just when the young man nodded in agreement, his expression suddenly paused and his eyes stared forward.
On the street in front of them, a man who was out of tune with his surroundings was walking slowly.
"White clothes, long sword, cold and arrogant look and eyes!"
"Ye Gucheng!"
The young man suddenly said in surprise.
The old man also looked up, with a hint of scrutiny in his deep eyes.
The person coming was none other than Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng heard the young man's voice, he just glanced at it and ignored it.
But he didn't want to pay attention to the young man, but the young man wanted to get to know him.
"Wait! Senior Ye!"
Ye Gucheng stopped, but his eyes fell on the old man beside the young man.
"Situ Qianfeng has met Senior Ye!" Situ Qianfeng came to Ye Gucheng and bowed.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, no, no."
Feeling Ye Gucheng's cold gaze, Situ Qianfeng said nervously.
Ye Gucheng nodded, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
He is going to Lishan Sword Sect.
Today was the time for him to make an appointment with Yu Shan.
"Senior, senior, wait for me!" Seeing Ye Gucheng leaving, Situ Qianfeng quickly chased after him.
"Senior, this junior has some doubts about the way of swordsmanship and wants to ask senior for advice!"
He approached Ye Gucheng and said expectantly.
Ye Gucheng did not stop, but glanced sideways at Situ Qianfeng.
"His swordsmanship is not weak and he is enough to guide you."
"Senior, can you see Uncle Yan's cultivation?" Situ Qianfeng asked in surprise.
Ye Gucheng nodded slightly.
Perhaps because of the swordsman's intuition, he could tell at a glance that Uncle Yan was a master of swordsmanship.
Uncle Yan was still looking at Ye Gucheng carefully.
Ye Gucheng looks very young and has a unique temperament.
It is completely inconsistent with his previous inferences, which means that all his previous words are nonsense.
Those market rumors not only did not exaggerate, but actually belittled Ye Gucheng.
"A peerless swordsman!"
This was his first impression after meeting Ye Gucheng.
"Who is better, Senior Ye or Uncle Yan?" Situ Qianfeng asked curiously.
"I'm strong!" Ye Gucheng said.
Situ Qianfeng looked at Uncle Yan, who didn't say a word and seemed to acquiesce to Ye Gucheng's words.
Seeing this, Situ Qianfeng opened his mouth slightly and his eyes were full of shock.
He didn't understand Ye Gucheng's strength, but he knew Yan Bo's strength.
There was no competition between the two of them, so Uncle Yan had already given up!
Doesn’t this mean that there is a huge gap between the two?
"Then~"
"Sir, it's time for us to leave!" Uncle Yan said in a low voice.
"Ah, where are you going?" Situ Qianfeng looked confused.
"Isn't the young master going to Tianzhou City?"
"No hurry, no hurry, let's~~" Situ Qianfeng came back to his senses and waved his hands.
But before he finished speaking, Uncle Yan interrupted him and said, "Master, it's time for us to leave!"
As he said that, Uncle Yan held his arm.
His palms were like iron pliers gripping Situ Qianfeng.
Situ Qianfeng was in pain.
"Uncle Yan~"
Uncle Yan looked at Ye Gucheng's retreating figure.
"Sir, the world is dangerous!"
His mission is to protect Situ Qianfeng's safety, but he has no confidence at all when facing Ye Gucheng. If Ye Gucheng is detrimental to Situ Qianfeng, he will definitely not be able to stop him.
"Uncle Yan, this senior Ye has no ill intentions towards me." Situ Qianfeng said somewhat unhappily.
"Although there is no malice, there is a risk! We don't know him well." Yan Bo said.
Situ Qianfeng hesitated a little and said: "Senior Ye seems to be going to Lishan Sword Sect, let's follow him and have a look."
He could understand Yan Bo's actions, but he still wanted to follow Ye Gucheng.
"Young Master, don't be willful!" Yan Bo said.
"Let's take a look from a distance!" Situ Qianfeng said.
Uncle Yan looked at Situ Qianfeng who was eager to try, and could only nod his head and agreed: "Then the young master must listen to the old man and get out immediately if he encounters danger."
"Uncle Yan, don't worry, I'm not stupid. If there is danger, I will definitely run the fastest!" Situ Qianfeng chuckled.
