Qi Tianlong was sitting in his study, concentrating on his official duties.
I just took over the position of city lord, and I have a lot of things to deal with.
In the next month, I'm afraid he won't have much time to rest.
However, no matter how hard he worked, he still enjoyed it.
At this time, there were guards outside the door reporting.
"Reporting to the Lord of the City, the Young City Lord and Tian Xingchong are back."
As soon as the Qi family took over the city lord's mansion, the guards and servants cleverly changed their names.
Qi Tianlong doesn't even use the title of city lord, he directly calls him city lord.
Anyway, everyone knows that the position of city lord must belong to Qi Tianlong.
Even Qi Huanzhi also followed Zhan Guang and transformed into a noble young city lord.
Qi Tianlong quickly put down the official document in his hand and said: "Bring them in quickly."
The guard said he obeyed the order and bowed out of the study.
Immediately, Qi Huanzhi and Ji Tianxing stepped into the study.
"Dad, you really succeeded!"
As soon as he entered the study, Qi Huanzhi couldn't wait to rush to his father and give him a bear hug.
Qi Tianlong was full of joy, but he couldn't help but blame him: "Return it, let go quickly!
You are now the young city lord, why are you still acting like a child? How can you behave like this?"
Pushing Qi Tianxing aside, he quickly greeted Ji Tianxing and bowed sincerely.
"Qi thanked Mr. Tianxing for his great kindness!
If it hadn't been for Mr. Tianxing's advice, personal experience of danger, and outstanding achievements.
How could I, Qi Tianlong, be so virtuous and capable as to make the Qi family so glorious?!"
Being granted the title of viscount by the monarch and taking over the position of city lord was something he had never dreamed of before.
And Ji Tianxing has only been in Qijia for a month, and he has already helped him realize his dream!
Qi Tianlong's gratitude and respect for Ji Tianxing are truly beyond words!
Ji Tianxing stretched out his hand to support Qi Tianlong, and said with a smile: "The master of the family has made a serious statement. Although I have contributed, I also need you to seize the opportunity to make things happen.
In short, this is everyone’s credit.”
Qi Tianlong was even more moved and sincerely praised: "Young Master is unparalleled in resourcefulness, yet so humble and polite, never arrogant.
Qi is really impressed that this small Qingshan City can welcome such a genius like you. I don’t know how much luck it has endured!"
Without waiting for Ji Tianxing to answer, Qi Huanzhi smiled and said: "Dad, how can this small ruined temple in Qingshan City accommodate a great Bodhisattva like him?
Brother Tianxing said that he will leave Qingshan City in two days."
Upon hearing the news, Qi Tianlong froze.
"Leaving in two days? So sudden?"
He knew well that a person like Ji Tianxing could not stay in Qingshan City forever.
But he didn't expect Ji Tianxing to leave in such a hurry.
Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "Now that the overall situation of Qingshan City has been decided, and the Qi family has achieved its wish, it will not be of much use if I stay, it will only provoke more powerful enemies.
The small Qingshan City cannot bear the wrath of those big shots.
After I leave, their goals will shift and the Qi family will be safe."
Qi Tianlong's heart tightened, complex emotions welled up, and his eyes turned red.
"Master Tianxing, you have such good intentions and are so kind to the Qi family, how should the Qi family repay you?
This kindness can never be repaid!"
Ji Tianxing smiled and shook his head, "The head of the family has spoken harshly, and I have already repaid you, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore.
Before I leave, I have only one last request."
Qi Tianlong nodded without hesitation: "Master, please tell me."
Ji Tianxing: "Please ask the head of the family to send a letter to Miss Ning Siyuan and ask if the matter has been resolved?"
Qi Tianlong frowned in confusion: "That thing?"
Ji Tianxing chuckled and said, "You don't need to say more, just give her my exact words."
"Okay, no problem!" Qi Tianlong agreed to the matter without asking any more questions.
The three of them sat down, drank tea and chatted.
Qi Tianlong hesitated for a moment before asking the doubts in his heart: "Master Tianxing, was it your idea to request to be the city lord?
You are not in Qingshan City and have never met the imperial envoy, how can you be sure that the imperial envoy will agree?"
Qi Huanzhi was also confused and looked at Ji Tianxing expectantly.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am only 80% sure, not completely sure.
I guess that although the monarch is far away from the royal capital, he has a pervasive intelligence system with eyes and ears all over the Kingdom of Blood Flame God.
The relationship between Yuwen Chengkong and Princess Tianfeng is clearly known to the monarch.
Yuwen Chengkong, the Lu family, and the Blood Sword Sect allied themselves, and the monarch was able to investigate this matter.
Since the Blood Sword Sect is involved, we must consider that the backer behind the Blood Sword Sect is a certain important figure in the royal family.
Such big figures are mostly feudal officials or princes who have the ability to compete for the throne."
After hearing this, Qi Tianlong and his son had a vague idea.
Ji Tianxing continued: "I have read the information. The king is old and has plans to pass on the throne. After retiring, he wants to enter the realm of the God King.
In addition to the eldest prince who died young, there are now four princes under the monarch's knees.
These four people have already made great achievements and are quite powerful. They are fighting openly and secretly to inherit the throne.
Therefore, I guess the big shot behind the Blood Sword Sect should be a certain prince.
The Blood Sword Sect killed innocent people indiscriminately in Qingshan City and despicably robbed the Xuanguang Cave. The monarch would not be unaware of this matter.
But the king pretended not to know because he didn't want to hurt the prince's face."
Hearing this, Qi Tianlong suddenly realized and answered: "So, the monarch may be a little dissatisfied with that prince and the Blood Sword Sect, but it is just inconvenient to show up.
This time the monarch sent an imperial envoy to confer a title on me. To avoid suspicion, he would never send someone from the prince.
Otherwise, supporting that prince and the Blood Sword Sect will only make the Blood Sword Sect more domineering!"
Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "That's right! That prince also figured out the monarch's intention, so the Blood Sword Sect has disappeared recently and has not taken action again."
Qi Tianlong added: "I heard from Ning Qinggang that the imperial envoy who came this time, the Bloody Ink God Lord, is the third prince's confidant."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said firmly: "In this case, the backer behind the Blood Sword Sect is definitely not the third prince.
Moreover, the third prince and that prince are probably in a competitive relationship."
Hearing what he said, Qi Tianlong suddenly understood and clapped his legs repeatedly.
"I see!
No wonder the Blood-Ink God did not reject my suggestion at yesterday's dinner.
Not only was he happy to see my success, he even deliberately guided and supported me!
The king's instructions allowed him to act easily, but he also had to bear responsibility.
I expressed my opinion to him, and he agreed without hesitation!"
After a pause, Qi Tianlong frowned and said: "So, the Blood Ink God Lord is deliberately wooing me to strengthen the third prince's power?
I have boarded the third prince's ship, and I am at odds with the prince behind the Blood Sword Sect?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "That's true. You have to know what you do in the future.
But don't worry, you are now the third prince's son, and you are also the newly created viscount by the monarch.
As long as the people of the Blood Sword Sect are not crazy, they will not dare to attack you.
