While there was a lot of drama in the post house, Qin Changfeng also invited Mr. Cao, the governor of the East Factory, to meet him at Linxian Tower, the most prestigious restaurant in the capital.
The prosperous place in the capital, gathering the essence of the world, this Linxian Tower, from the first step, it seems to have entered another world, luxurious but not vulgar, luxurious and elegant, where literati, young men, and elegant people gather together.
Either dancing and writing, or talking happily over wine.
Linxian Tower has never been a place where anyone can enter. Although it is a restaurant, it is filled with the conceited and sour atmosphere of literati.
Qin Changfeng, wearing a Huangquan mask and a brocade robe, was surrounded by three Beizhen Fusi cronies. He crossed the threshold with his hands behind his hands, walked through the lobby and walked up the stairs without squinting.
Because of their arrival, the lively hall suddenly became silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at these people with contempt... As the emperor's lackeys who monitor the world, the Jin Yiwei, in the eyes of these self-proclaimed scholars,
As hateful as the eunuchs in Dongchang.
"The world is really going downhill. Everyone dares to come to the Immortal Tower to be arty, and they don't even look in the mirror before going out..." Some people who were half drunk couldn't help but muttered.
The corners of Qin Changfeng's mouth curled up slightly under his mask, and he pretended not to hear anything and continued to go upstairs leisurely. However, several hundred households behind him glared at the man fiercely, and one of his companions quickly whispered to the man: "
Brother Wang, please keep your voice down. If an ordinary Jin Yiwei has said it, he will say it, but look at who is here today..."
In fact, what made these self-proclaimed nobles even more disgusting was that Eunuch Cao of Dongchang came with four or five eunuchs in person!
The now powerful governor of the East Factory was obviously in a bad mood, so no one who was good at observing words and emotions dared to talk nonsense anymore.
He walked up and saw Qin Changfeng on the second floor, which was completely occupied. He pinched his throat and said, "Master Qin, you don't know that our family has important responsibilities now. If you have anything to do, you have to come here to talk about it."
?
"If I don't come here, how can I show my father-in-law's current majesty? My father-in-law may not know that when I came in before, I was ridiculed severely, but when my father-in-law came, everyone was silent, as silent as a cicada.
.”
Qin Changfeng sat on the chair without getting up. He leaned back, waved his hand to the three Beizhen Fusi Qianhu behind him and said: "I have something important to discuss with Eunuch Cao in detail. You can accompany the father-in-law to the next door.
Let's have a few drinks here and there. The best wine in Linxian Tower costs one hundred taels of silver for a pot. It would be a pity not to try it when you come."
"Yes, sir!" The three of them took the order and invited several high eunuchs to come over, but the latter all looked at Cao Zhengchun.
Let’s just see what tricks you want to play today!
Cao Zhengchun snorted in his heart. He knew that what Qin Changfeng was hosting today was probably a Hongmen Banquet, but he didn't believe that he could do anything under his nose in the capital, so he followed Qin Changfeng's wishes.
He waved several of Shenhou's cronies to leave, and then said, "Can you tell me what Master Qin is talking about?"
Qin Changfeng held two wine glasses between the fingers of one hand, and put a pot of "immortal" wine worth one hundred taels of silver on the table with the other hand. He chuckled and said, "My father-in-law, do you want to know where the Queen Mother is now?"
"You know?!" Cao Zhengchun also said with a smile. Over the years, he has also learned the most correct way to deal with the person in front of him, that is, never get angry, hold back, and remain unchanged in response to external changes.
Qin Changfeng poured two glasses of wine, pushed one glass in front of Eunuch Cao, nodded and said, "I know."
Cao Zhengchun glanced at the wine glass warily. Not to mention drinking, he didn't even touch it. He just stared at the other person's eyes and said with a smile: "Master Qin, you are not joking. If you really knew, you would have returned with the Queen Mother earlier."
, how can you let go of such a huge achievement and just drink with our family here."
Qin Changfeng glanced at Cao Zhengchun's untouched wine glass, chuckled, stood up from the chair, walked to the window sill, looked in the direction of the post house and said: "To be honest, Qin wants more than credit.
There is another thing in the hands of the father-in-law. Qin wants to exchange it with the father-in-law for the location of the Queen Mother. I wonder what the father-in-law wants?"
"This is strange. Is there anything else in our hands that can tempt Mr. Qin?" Cao Zhengchun still smiled like a chrysanthemum and looked unmoved, but it was unclear what he really thought in his heart.
Qin Changfeng turned his back to him without any scruples, and said leisurely: "When the Immortal Emperor was here, the small country of Tianxiang outside the territory paid tribute to three Tianxiang cardamom, which was said to be able to bring the dead back to life. One of them was given to the Queen Mother. My father-in-law served the Queen Mother like this.
After many years, you must know where this heavenly fragrant cardamom is, right?"
Cao Zhengchun said with a sinister smile: "Master Qin really has a good eye for the sky. He even knows the secrets of decades ago. As for this fragrant cardamom, our family does know where it is, but Master Qin
Is there really any news about the Queen Mother?"
Just at this moment, a guard in Jinyi stepped forward, presented something with both hands, and saluted: "Sir, we found this..."
This was a hairpin. Qin Changfeng didn't even look at it, so he asked the Jin Yiwei to bring it to Cao Zhengchun and said, "Do you know me, father-in-law?"
"This belongs to the Queen Mother..." Cao Zhengchun took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"
At this time, his importance to the Queen Mother has been clearly revealed, not only because it is his duty to find the Queen Mother, but also because the Queen Mother is his biggest supporter in the palace.
“Heavenly fragrant cardamom!”
"Come here!" Cao Zhengchun immediately called for an eunuch. After whispering, he asked him to leave the restaurant and rush towards the palace. He didn't know whether to mobilize the experts from the East Factory or to get the sweet cardamom.
Qin Changfeng watched the eunuch leave and waited without any hurry.
At the same time, the battle at the post house was coming to an end. Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang took the initiative to retreat. However, they discovered Yukihime Yagyu's Toshio, but they could not stop her from taking away the Queen Mother.
After learning the news, Karasuma immediately shouted at Toshihide and asked: "How could this happen? You actually had someone take someone away right under your nose?"
If Toshihide was the real princess and Karasuma was the real messenger, he would naturally not dare to speak like this. But in fact, their true identities are master and apprentice, and they are not from Izumo, but from Japan!
Li Xiu turned around and turned her back to him and said: "That person is very powerful in martial arts and amazing in swordsmanship. He is definitely not an ordinary master. And there was someone to help me. After I was forced back by her sword, I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only watch.
He left with her."
Karasuma frowned and said, "The plan has changed. I have to go and discuss it with that person overnight. You wait for me here."
After saying that, she hurriedly left under the cover of night. At this time, Princess Lixiu took out a wooden mask from her sleeve and flicked it. She looked out the door and said to herself: "It's been four years and I finally see you again."
, I thought you really forgot about me."
What she was staring at happened to be in the direction of Linxian Tower. After a while, the eunuch sent by Cao Zhengchun came back with a brocade box. Cao Zhengchun directly pushed the brocade box in front of Qin Changfeng and said: "Master Qin, this is
It’s the heavenly fragrant cardamom you asked for. Now can you tell me where the Queen Mother is?”
Qin Changfeng opened the brocade box, and after mentally inspecting it to verify that the fragrant cardamom inside was genuine, he took off his mask, revealing his ugly face covered with scars, grinned at Cao Zhengchun, and said word for word: "Jin Yiwei Commander Liu
Your Majesty is at home!"
"You..." Cao Zhengchun stood up and pointed at Qin Changfeng at first, but then his expression changed and he laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, thank you Mr. Qin for your advice. We have thanked you, but Mr. Qin
If you are playing with fire like this, be careful if you accidentally burn yourself!"
Qin Changfeng replied solemnly: "My father-in-law is too worried. I didn't set the fire. I just lit another fire by using other people's fire. Why should I be afraid?"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed and he understood what he was doing. Then he turned around and went downstairs with a few of his men. At the same time, he screamed: "Commander the Jinyi Guards has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. This is a treasonous act. Immediately mobilize the men of the East Factory to follow the governor."
He is captured and brought to justice, but if he resists in any way, he will be shot to death!"
After the figure walked away, Qin Changfeng asked the three Jinyiwei Baihu: "How did things go?"
One of them nodded and said: "It went very smoothly, they didn't notice anything."
Qin Changfeng nodded and left the restaurant with Shi Shiran. Soon after, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard in the house of Master Liu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards... This meant that a disaster was imminent. When the Queen Mother was in a big jar in his house
After he was discovered, he couldn't explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.
Even if the Queen Mother wakes up and tells everything she knows, it does not prove that he is not an accomplice.
Sure enough, the next day, the palace master reported that the furious Emperor had ordered the commander to be beheaded in public, and at the same time promoted the governor of Beizhen Fusi to the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
At the same time, after learning that the Queen Mother had been found, Karasuma and Toshihide, who were worried that their identities would be exposed, left the posthouse overnight and hid in the capital under the arrangement of Shenhou.
After Qin Changfeng left the palace, he walked directly towards that place, as if he already knew where the two of them were hiding.
In the hall of the room, Karasuma frowned and said, "It's really strange. Who rescued the Queen Mother and then framed her for the commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
Jiali Xiu said: "Whoever gets the most benefits will naturally be the one... I heard that the Fusi envoy from Beizhen, who is known as the best master of Jinyiwei, has been promoted to the commander."
Karasuma was shocked: "Is it really him?"
At this time, the door directly opposite was suddenly pushed open, and a masked man walked in and said at the same time: "Yes, it's right down there."
Karasuma's demeanor immediately changed and he looked wary. He had long heard of this man's reputation in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. The Heavenly Sword was still a terrifying legend.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange whistling sound in his ears. Just as he was about to turn around, an extremely powerful force hit his lower back. After a puff of blood arrows spurted out, he staggered forward and turned around.
He turned around and looked at Li Xiu in disbelief, "You..."
Lixiu sighed with a sad face: "I'm sorry, Master, there is an old saying in the Central Plains that good birds choose good trees to roost. I just chose to follow a more powerful person."
"You want to kill your master?" Karasuma asked with eyes splitting.
"I am also his master. When you were still in Japan, I taught him martial arts for four years." Qin Changfeng said quietly. In fact, Karasuma and Toshihide are both from Japan, and their martial arts are related to the ronin of the Yagyu lineage.
Based on the few pieces of information, Qin Changfeng asked the five Jin Yiwei to search for them for more than a year before finally finding them and accepting Fake Lixiu as his apprentice.
Karasuma was shocked and had no time to verify the authenticity, because Rixiu had already attacked with an extremely fierce and powerful palm technique.
He was merciless in his actions and really had the intention to kill.
Karasuma's martial arts is very high and can be tied with Duan Tianya, but Lixiu's martial arts are equally advanced. In the original work, he alone blocked Duan Tianya and Guihai Yida who had not gone berserk. If it hadn't been for Cheng Shifei to mess around
When Big Bird broke through his cover, he really got beaten.
Now, Karasuma, who was injured by the sneak attack from the beginning, was definitely no longer his opponent. He flew with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and finally ended Karasuma's life with a flying dragon move.
Qin Changfeng also received a reminder that the progress of the side mission has become 1/3.
Contrary to the hidden mission of No. 1 in the World, the side mission only requires the person he trained to kill a master who agrees to the request alone. The method of killing is not limited. The restriction is only that no other people are allowed to help.
