Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 325: The golden house hides the beauty?

After Zhao Guanxiang dismounted, a rider followed him and the generals on horseback also dismounted as well.

But this person was not the two familiar servants, Gao and Zhang, of Zhao Guanxiang, but a stranger. He looked inconspicuous and would soon lose his impression if he fell into the crowd.

Zhao Guanxiang walked inside with his entourage, and everyone he met along the way bowed and greeted him.

"Captain Zhao."

"Master Tiger Cub."

Zhao Guanxiang nodded all the way without stopping, and walked quickly towards the backyard.

It was not until the two of them turned a corner and there was no one around that the officer who followed closely behind him smiled and said, "How can a sixth-rank lieutenant be so majestic? I saw that several of the people who saluted you just now had badges on their chests that were higher than yours."

Zhao Guanxiang smiled and said, "Of course it's because I'm extremely capable. They want to gain merit and have to rely on me, so shouldn't they be polite to me?"

Since he came to Jingzhou, he has been in the limelight.

The Salvation Church had penetrated deep into the people of Jingzhou and was lurking in the local area, making it extremely difficult to identify. The imperial envoys did not make good progress at the beginning.

No one knew that after arriving at a place, among the local gentry who offered warm hospitality, some families were actually minions of the Salvation Church.

It would certainly be inappropriate to kill them all.

But if left alone, it is easy for a fire to start at the rear.

However, since Zhao Guanxiang came, he was always able to accurately catch the minions of the Salvation Church hidden among the local gentry. He led his team to destroy several important strongholds of the Salvation Church, and many Salvation Church members died in his hands.

Even... a mad god secretly worshipped by the Salvation Church was dug out.

Naturally, his various achievements made people look at him with admiration, and also made General Ling Fang of the Astronomical Observatory quite fond of him. He was also the only captain who could sit in on the meetings of the Imperial Envoy Group.

"Does foster father really plan to leave for Jingzhou?"

"It's true."

"When will you leave?"

"I don't know, but the big figures of the Jingzhou Salvation Church have not surfaced yet, so the time is not right yet."

While the two were talking, Zhao Guanxiang and his men came to the gate of his courtyard.

He looked around casually, and after making sure that there was no one there, he pushed the door and walked in.

When the door opened, there was a slight noise in the room.

But when Zhao Guanxiang led people into the house, the hall was empty.

He sat down at the table, poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and drank it, saying, "Sister, please don't mind if the place is small. Please sit down."

The general sat down at the table, took off his helmet, and revealed his face.

But the moment the helmet was taken off, the man's originally featureless face began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, Zhao Nishang's slightly charming face appeared in the air.

Zhao Nishang put the helmet on the table and said to Zhao Guanxiang, "I came here this time to find out the person behind the Jingzhou Salvation Church for my adoptive father. The Red Lotus Saint who was released to Jingzhou by my adoptive father may have his whereabouts. But before I came to you, I went to the Jingzhou branch of Zhao's Trading Company to ask, and Gong Xinying has not had any contact with the branch for several months..."

At this point, she said with some worry, "I suspect she has already rejoined the Salvation Church and completely cut off contact with us. The little precautions that my foster father left on her were not that strong, and there may be someone in the Salvation Church who can resolve them." Zhao Guanxiang smiled and poured tea for Zhao Nishang, comforting her, "Don't worry, sister. Gong Xinying will definitely not rejoin the Salvation Church."

Zhao Nishang looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because she is right here with me right now."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Guanxiang clapped his hands.

The curtain in the inner hall was lifted, and a woman walked out.

Although this girl was dressed in a maid's ordinary clothes and had no makeup on, her every move exuded a cool and fairy-like aura, as if she had walked out of a painting.

Gong Xinying came in front of Zhao Nishang, bowed politely, and said with her hands in her hands: "Gong Xinying, meet the Third Miss."

Zhao Nishang stood up with a bang, stared at Zhao Guanxiang who pretended to be indifferent, and shouted: "Zhao Guanxiang, how dare you hide a beauty in your golden house?"

Zhao Guanxiang almost spit out a mouthful of tea and said speechlessly, "Sister, is this how you use a beautiful woman in a golden house?"

"It's already this late, and you're still arguing with me." Zhao Nishang put her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised, "This is the imperial envoy's residence, there are so many eyes watching us? How dare you hide her here?"

Zhao Guanxiang explained: "Now that Gong Xinying has been exposed, the entire Jingzhou Salvation Church wants to kill her. Where else can I hide her if not here? This is the safest place in the entire Jingzhou."

"Exposed?" Zhao Nishang frowned and looked at Gong Xinying, asking, "How was it exposed?"

Gong Xinying shook her head and said calmly, "I don't know. Originally, when I returned to the sect, everything was normal. I also fully cooperated with Master Guan Xiang to collect information about the Savior Sect. But about half a month ago, for some unknown reason, the Holy Lord suddenly issued an order to the sect to capture me, regardless of life or death."

"Red Lotus Holy Lord?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Nishang's mind moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you know the true identity of this Red Lotus Saint Lord?"

Gong Xinying shook her head and said, "You can't find him using ordinary means."

"Why do you say that?"

"The sacred learning of my Red Lotus lineage is different from the Central Plains martial arts. The Holy Lord does not cultivate the flesh, but only the Yin Spirit. The body is just a container for him that can be replaced at any time. He has many such containers. Because of this, his identity is ever-changing. No one can guess what the Holy Lord's identity is now."

Gong Xinying paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Perhaps... at this moment, the Holy Lord is already in this County Governor's Mansion, or even one of you."

The body is just a container that can be replaced at any time?
It was the first time that Zhao Nishang had heard of such magical and evil skills, and it was an eye-opener for a moment.

But in this case, the difficulty of finding the person behind the Jingzhou Salvation Church will increase exponentially.

After Zhao Nishang thought about it, she nodded and said, "I will report this matter to my adoptive father truthfully. In addition..."

She pointed at Gong Xinying and said to Zhao Guanxiang, "I will take this girl away. After all, what's the point of a man and a woman living together all day? Don't worry about her safety. I brought enough people with me this time."

Gong Xinying and Zhao Guanxiang had no objection to this.

Now Zhao Guanxiang has taken Gong Xinying in at his own residence. Although it is dark under the lamp, it is indeed a bit dangerous. Once exposed, it will probably bring Zhao Guanxiang a lot of trouble.

As for Gong Xinying...it made no difference to her whether she fell into the hands of Zhao Guanxiang or Zhao Nishang.

Zhao Guanxiang stood up and said, "Sister, since you are here, I have another favor to ask you..."
