Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 62: Do you want to take action?

"Boss, the Third Miss sent a letter saying that the Red Lotus Saint has been captured."

When Zhao Qi'an sent Zhao Lingyun to Dean An, he ran into Tie Wuhen who came excitedly to report the news.

When Zhao Qi'an took the secret letter from him, opened it and read the contents, he did not look surprised.

Tie Wuhen was happy, but also a little puzzled: "How did the Third Miss know that the Red Lotus Saint would go to the Princess's Mansion?"

Zhao Qi'an looked at the letter and replied, "It's not hard to guess. Although the group of salvationists from Baiyun Temple have been in Kyoto for several months, they dare not enter the city rashly and have been entrenched in the suburbs of Beijing. Their network of relationships is not complicated."

"Gong Xinying has only three places to go in the city: the Imperial Palace, the Princess's Residence, and the West City Pier."

"Both the Imperial Palace and the Princess's Mansion are in the inner city. The inner and outer cities are separated by walls. We only need to guard a few gates and corridors."

"If she came to the West City Pier, huh..."

Although Zhao Qi'an didn't say anything else, Tie Wuhen also understood.

If the Red Lotus Saint comes to the west pier of the city, it will be a dead end!
This is the Zhao family’s territory!

With a celestial warrior of the third rank of Divine Power Realm here, the boss is personally in charge, and there is also an incredible figure in the market...

To say it is a den of dragons and tigers is an understatement.

After reading the letter, Zhao Qi'an folded the letter and put it in his arms.

Most of the guards under his command were the brave ones who had followed him in his battles on the sea during the East China Sea period.

It took a lot of effort to send such a group of people into Kyoto City without letting the people from the Astronomical Observatory notice them.

The first thing Zhao Qi'an did when he came to Kyoto was to build the Zhao Family Trading House. He used the name of work-for-relief to help a group of refugees who had drifted to Kyoto at that time. He hid Xiao Wei among these refugees, and that was how he was able to enter Kyoto without being suspected.

Afterwards, he let Xiao Wei work in the trading shop for a few years so that he could obtain an official status in Kyoto City, and then let them leave the trading shop and become ordinary citizens in Kyoto City.

After ten years of silence, Xiaowei has completely integrated into the lives of ordinary people in Kyoto City.

Normally they are coolies at the dock.

He is a street vendor.

He is a thug in a brothel and gambling house.

They are the students who study tirelessly in the academy...

Everyone has their own face, but they are all ordinary.

When the time comes, he will put on an iron mask and become an owl guard.

So how did Gong Xinying recognize the disguises of the Owl Guards? They were ordinary people in the capital city.

How could she be on guard against it?

Now Gong Xinying has been captured and taken to the princess's mansion. Two of her accomplices were killed by the Xiaowei, leaving one alive, who was also imprisoned in the princess's mansion.

Zhao Qi'an thought of this and called a merchant manager, saying, "Please ask Wei Gongfeng to go to the princess's mansion. If anyone asks, tell them it was my idea."

"Yes, boss."

After giving the order, Zhao Qi'an bowed to Tie Wuhen and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, Master Tie. Go back and rest early."

Tie Wuhen seemed to have something to say.

But after thinking it over again and again, he felt that his boss obviously had important things to do at the moment, and he was just doing some personal matters.

So he returned the greeting with a bow and changed his words, "Master, just go do your work and don't worry about me. But... when you are free, I hope you can come to the Health Hall. I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Qi'an nodded, turned and left Shangfang Street.

……

The carriage came slowly from the west and finally stopped in front of the gate of the princess's mansion.

Outside the mansion gate, there was already a servant waiting. When he saw the carriage stop, he hurriedly went up and put down a stool to make it easier for the distinguished person in the carriage to get off.

Zhao Qi'an got off the carriage and waited for a moment. Then a beardless old man walked out of the carriage tremblingly.

He personally helped the man down, which made the old man feel flattered: "Oh, I dare not, it is not right for the master to help the servant, this is too embarrassing for the old servant."

"I will do it myself, I will do it myself..."

Old eunuch Wei tightened the small cloth bag on his shoulder, and although he staggered, he stepped down steadily on the stool.

As soon as he came down, he looked up and saw the main gate of the princess's mansion. He looked at Zhao Qi'an beside him with a little surprise, raised his hand and pointed: "Master, enter from here?" Zhao Qi'an nodded: "Enter from here."

"No big deal?"

"It doesn't matter."

Old eunuch Wei seemed to understand something and smiled slightly, and his wrinkled face seemed to bloom.

He lowered his head and asked no more questions. He followed Zhao Qian'an into the princess's mansion.

……

In the princess's mansion, Gong Xinying was held solitary in a guest house.

Only one of her three trusted confidants was left, and he was imprisoned with her.

"Lady Saint, are these people from the Princess's Mansion? But isn't Princess Yuzhen on our side? Why... why did she send people to arrest us?"

The confidant was panic-stricken and desperate to get an answer from Gong Xinying.

But Gong Xinying closed her eyes and did not answer.

At this point, how could she not see that something was wrong with the princess's mansion?

It seems that the person who attacked her at the foot of Baiyun Mountain outside Beijing also has a close relationship with the Princess Mansion.

But all this was definitely not Yu Zhen's work.

Just then, the door opened and someone walked in from outside.

Gong Xinying opened her eyes, and after seeing who it was, her guess finally came true.

"It's really you!"

Zhao Qi'an remained silent and waved behind him.

Several servants behind him walked up quickly, grabbed the female member of the Salvation Church, and dragged her out.

"What are you going to do? Let me go!"

"Lady Saint, save me!"

save?
How to rescue?

Gong Xinying can't even save herself!
She could only watch coldly as her confidant was dragged away.

Old eunuch Wei bowed to Zhao Qian'an with a smile, then followed the servants out of the house, not forgetting to quietly close the door when leaving.

"pat".

The door closed, leaving only Zhao Qi'an and Gong Xinying in the room.

Gong Xinying looked at Zhao Qi'an carefully, with a bitter look on her face: "I had guessed it before, but I didn't expect... I still underestimated you."

Long before, she had noticed that there was something wrong with Zhao Qi'an.

But Yu Zhen dispelled her concerns over and over again, so she never really suspected Zhao Qian'an.

Until now, Zhao Qi'an stood in front of her.

The source of the uneasiness that had been lingering in my heart these days finally came to me at this moment.

When Zhao Qi'an walked towards her, Gong Xinying felt her heart beating faster and faster.

Even though she was so close, she couldn't feel any spiritual fluctuations from Zhao Qi'an.

His every move and gesture was no different from that of an ordinary person.

This discovery gave Gong Xinying some strange thoughts.

At this moment, she and Zhao Qi'an were the only ones in the room.

Although her cultivation level had declined, she was still at the sixth level of the Demon Transformation Realm, and she even possessed a secret technique that could forcibly restore her cultivation level to the peak within a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, the distance between her and Zhao Qi'an was such that even if the scary old man was guarding outside the house, he would not be able to save him in time.

Can I...capture Zhao Qi'an and hold him hostage to give myself a chance to escape?
When this thought came to Gong Xinying's mind, she couldn't help but move.

"Do you want to take action?"
