Commander Ding shook his head: "We still don't know yet. It's impossible for Ding to go out to investigate. Zhou Ganniang, clear the secret passage and prepare to cover the princess's retreat."
Tingyulou’s old madam, Grandma Zhou, is a die-hard loyalist to the royal family: “Don’t worry, Commander, this is not the first time Tingyulou has faced this kind of interrogation.”
"I'll go out and take a look." Qin Yi suggested.
Commander Ding quickly stopped him: "No! Mr. Qin, the princess's safety is more important than anything else. If you go out hastily like this, you may very well put the princess in danger."
Qin Yi didn't like hearing this. But for Jiang Xinyue's sake, Qin Yi didn't say anything, smiled faintly, and stepped aside.
"Princess, let's go first." Commander Ding was a little anxious and urged Jiang Xinyue.
"No rush." Jiang Xinyue said, "We have been to Tingyu Tower more than once or twice. Aunt Zhou's arrangements have been very appropriate every time. Now in the entire royal capital, where are there not searches and inspections everywhere? It may not necessarily be a rush hour.
You came with me."
Jiang Xinyue was actually reluctant to separate from Qin Yi so soon. Moreover, she also planned to discuss the plan to go to Bailu Mountain with Qin Yi.
Even Commander Ding didn't know about the inherited relics and the Bailu Mountain Ancestral Temple.
After finally meeting Qin Yi, Jiang Xinyue naturally didn't want to say goodbye in a hurry. After this farewell, who knows how to contact him next time?
Qin Yi seemed to know Jiang Xinyue's thoughts and whispered a few words in Jiang Xinyue's ear.
Jiang Xinyue was slightly surprised. After pondering for a moment, she finally nodded and looked at Qin Yi with her beautiful eyes: "Then you should be more careful."
Qin Yi smiled leisurely: "My current identity is to work with the Yun family. I'm safe."
Seeing Qin Yi's relaxed attitude and smile, Jiang Xinyue was also infected by him. She smiled softly, nodded and said, "Then Ding Tong and I will take the lead."
Commander Ding was a little surprised. He knew Jiang Xinyue's temper. If Jiang Xinyue said there was no rush, then she really didn't want to leave now.
Commander Ding never thought that he could change Jiang Xinyue's decision, so he wisely kept silent.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi's few whispers made Jiang Xinyue change his mind in an instant. This ability surprised Commander Ding, who glanced at Qin Yi thoughtfully.
Immediately, under the guidance of Madam Zhou, the old bustard, they hurriedly entered the secret passage.
After entering the secret passage, Commander Ding whispered: "Seventh Princess, what did Young Master Qin say to you?"
Jiang Xinyue's expression condensed: "Commander Ding, are you asking too much?"
Commander Ding looked stern: "The duty of my subordinates is to protect the safety of the princess. I will not let go of any suspicious clues."
"Qin Yi is my classmate and my best friend. Could he harm me?"
"It's not that I suspect Mr. Qin will harm you. It's just that he was successful at a young age. Sometimes young people don't think things through carefully, and they may implicate the princess." Commander Ding said.
Jiang Xinyue was stunned: "You are overthinking. A young man who can single-handedly survive in the land abandoned by the gods and play tricks on a group of Taoist monks must not be considered together with ordinary young people.
"
Behind the scenes, Jiang Xinyue was very protective of Qin Yi.
Commander Ding obviously sensed this taste and immediately shut up. He knew Jiang Xinyue's temper, and if he continued to talk, he might annoy Her Highness the Princess.
As a minister, Commander Ding's loyalty is unquestionable.
…
Madam Zhou, the old madam, returned to the secret room and saw Qin Yi, but the expression on her face was half-smile but not a smile.
"Mr. Yi, I'm really curious. Your obvious identity is that you are a benefactor of our Tingyu Tower, and your other identity is that you are a casual cultivator recruited by the Shi family. However, you are able to talk happily with the Seventh Princess.
He can also win the trust of the seventh princess. This exquisite method makes me admire him with admiration. It seems that the charm of Mr. Yi is really extraordinary. I heard that whether it is a girl from Yulou or a princess from the royal family, it seems that
Are they all particularly interested in you, Master?"
"I can't help but wonder, Mr. Yi, are you really from the Ziluo Kingdom?"
This madam is obviously a smart man. He said half of these words and kept the other half. It seems like he is playing a riddle, but he actually means something.
Qin Yi smiled faintly: "Zhou Qianniang controls the huge Tingyu Tower. Who would have thought that the owner of the most romantic place in the capital is actually the royal family's spy and loyalist?"
The old bustard sighed softly: "I owe all this to the royal family of the Jiang family. All that I have done now cannot even equal one-tenth of the favor of the royal family of the Jiang family. It is nothing."
"My godmother is too modest. As the saying goes, a person's power is determined by the distance. The Jiang family of the royal family has a lot of people who have cultivated and supported them, but most of them have become mere weeds. It is even more commendable that my godmother can do this."
"Young master, you have given me the reward. Although I don't know the relationship between the young master and the seventh princess, nor do I know what your plans are. But there is one thing I must remind you. Although the Yun family seems to have delegated everything to the Shi family, this may not be a positive move.
The signal. The Yun family hiding behind it may be even more terrifying."
In fact, Qin Yi had thought of this before.
Qin Yi's heart moved and he suddenly asked: "Godmother, speaking of the Yun family, you are in Tingyulou and you should know more than me. How strong is the Yun family?"
"The strength of the Yun family is definitely slightly inferior to that of the Jiang family. Because Yun Feng and Yun Chong have both fallen, the Yun family's right to speak has been weakened. But the older generation of the Yun family has
They are known as the Nine Elders of the Yun Family. All of these Nine Elders are the pillars of the Yun Family. Among these Nine Elders, the top three are particularly outstanding. The power under their command is also the most prominent."
"Oh? Who are these three elders?"
"Old Yunlong from the rich clan is like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail, and is more mysterious than the head of the family. Old Yun Qian from the second clan is relatively low-key, but he is the master who quietly makes money. Old Yunchen from the third clan is currently the most outstanding in the Yun family.
He is active and the most powerful, and is the first person in the Yun family who currently handles secular affairs. The other six elders have a relatively weak voice in the Yun family. Some are die-hard loyalists to the head of the family, and some are die-hard loyalists to the elders of the three major clans."
"Originally, the elders of these three major clans could not be compared with the family lineage. However, the accidental deaths of God's Abandoned Land, Yun Chong and Yunfeng had a huge impact on the Yun family. It also caused the family lineage to lose the initiative.
Quan. The elders of the three major clans stand out. Some people say that this time the Yun family launched an attack on the Jiang family, it was not the head of the Yun family who made the decision, but the joint efforts of the elders of the three major clans."
This old bustard actually didn't hide anything from Qin Yi and shared the information with Qin Yi very generously.
Qin Yi digested these contents silently, and asked curiously: "Goddess, what are the strengths of these three clan elders?"
"They are all Daoji Realm, but they are all high-level Daoji Realm. It is said that the cultivation level of the elders of the big clan has almost reached the eighth level of Daoji Realm. The elders of the second clan and the elders of the third clan are both at the seventh level of Daoji Realm.
level.”
Qin Yi is not surprised by his strength at the high level of Daoji Realm.
