OBS Chapter 244 Baiyun Sect
Chapter 244 Baiyun Sect
The owner of Fuxiangju also did not find any criminal record against them.
After Qiqi understood the situation, she let the shopkeeper go. A short while later, the shopkeeper brought a large amount of food. It was all Qiqi's favorite dishes. These shopkeepers kept in touch with each other and often asked about the preferences of the landlords. This was so that when the landlords came to their Fuxiang Residence, they wouldn't be unaware of what to prepare. They knew what to prepare early and had everything ready for the landlords. They were truly worthy of being in the intelligence business.
As soon as Qiqi saw the food, she understood the shopkeeper's intentions. After they finished their meal, the shopkeeper had the food removed. He personally brewed a pot of good tea and poured a cup for the host and the prince. He then announced that the room was ready for them and they could rest at any time.
Qiqi took out a bottle of pills and gave it to him, telling him to go down and do his work while they could handle it themselves.
They did not tell the shopkeeper about the Baiyun Sect's gold robbery, because the Baiyun Sect had injured the guards, which showed their strength.
Fuxiangju will continue to operate here for a long time, so we cannot let them get involved. This way, they can collect intelligence quietly and they won't be in danger.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were very thoughtful. They never asked others to do things they could do themselves.
The prefect Wu, who was in charge of the gold mining area, also learned of the gold robbery. He sent many soldiers to guard the gold mines to prevent martial artists from robbing the mines. In that dynasty, gold was the most precious commodity, worth a fortune, and its small size made it easy to carry.
The old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty also learned of this incident and sent a dozen highly skilled secret guards to guard the mining area. He also learned that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had gone after the gold robbers. He felt relieved, believing that his son and daughter-in-law never took any action without confidence and would definitely recover the gold.
He knew that the problems encountered by his dynasty were solved by the two of them, who worked silently and never asked for credit or reward. They also did not publicize their work. He only heard about some things from the guards.
The old emperor loved Jingze and Qiqi from the bottom of his heart. He loved his two grandsons and granddaughters even more. He hoped that after a hundred years, his grandsons would inherit the dynasty and become rulers. The old emperor was also training a group of young secret guards for his grandsons, sworn to follow him to the death. He had the eunuch chief select orphaned and homeless beggars to observe their character and cultivate them.
The old steward had time to personally instruct him. Despite his age, his martial arts skills were quite good. He also took the elixir given by Qiqi, and his martial arts skills improved even more. Several guards couldn't get close to him. His martial arts skills were much higher than the old emperor's.
The old steward had saved the emperor when he was young. He repaid the emperor's kindness by following him, who was then the crown prince. When he first arrived at the crown prince's residence, he was only proficient in martial arts and couldn't even defeat the crown prince's guards, let alone the crown prince, who was a highly skilled martial artist.
The old emperor was busy with state affairs, so he had no time to practice martial arts. His martial arts skills had fallen behind. The old steward could easily defeat him.
The old steward had saved the old emperor several times. They weren't brothers, but they were better than brothers. The old emperor often gave him good things. When the old emperor was condescending to ask for a longevity pill made by Qiqi, he gave the old steward a portion. So, every time Qiqi made a longevity pill, the old steward would get a portion. A kind heart for a kind heart, the old steward's selfless act moved Qiqi.
Therefore, the old steward was also quietly sharing Qiqi and the others' worries. In order to train Xiaoyu's secret guards, he was very active and patient in teaching these children martial arts.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze themselves did not expect that their father and the old steward had done so much for them.
They rested at Fuxiangju for the entire afternoon. In the evening, they went to the largest teahouse in the city and sat in a private room to drink tea. They could overhear the conversations throughout the teahouse, hoping to find any useful information.
Have you heard? The Baiyun Sect said they have more than a dozen disciples who have defected. They are searching for them, and there will be a reward for anyone who finds them and brings them back to the sect.
Now, all the disciples of the Baiyun Sect have gone down the mountain to search for those people. Zhou Jingze stretched out his hand to call over the secret guards and whispered to them to keep an eye on the people who robbed the gold and not let them find them. The secret guards took the order and left.
"Brother Jingze, they are afraid of being exposed, so they spread the news like this. It will be a waste of time for us to settle accounts with these people after we catch them. They will cheat and say that they are traitors to the sect. It's a really good excuse." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, the Baiyun Sect is afraid that we will catch them and they will confess that it was the Baiyun Sect that asked them to rob. They robbed the gold of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which is a capital crime. No one can protect them. That's why they are spreading the word that there is a traitor in the Baiyun Sect. Then they can put the blame on them for the gold robbery. The people of the Baiyun Sect are really vicious." Zhou Jingze said.
Qiqi smiled and said, "They have offended me this time. Let me show you how I will deal with them."
The two of them stayed in the teahouse until dark, ordered some snacks, and ate their fill.
Soon, they teleported to the Baiyun Sect. They flew to the highest building, overlooking the entire Baiyun Sect. They stood there for a long time, using their consciousness to survey the entire Baiyun Sect. They knew which room the Sect Master was in. Several elders also lived there.
They saw a familiar face: the leader of Yongning who had robbed the spirit stones and who had been led to the Shunqing palace. They had let him go, yet he came back to rob the Great Zhou of its gold. He was truly audacious. This time, he would not be spared. Kill him to serve as a warning to the rest.
The martial arts skills of the two of them are now unattainable, and the disciples in the sect cannot detect them at all.
"Brother Jingze, let's go and collect some interest first." They have already explored the Baiyun Sect's warehouse.
They arrived in a flash and came to the warehouse. Qiqi used a drug to knock out the disciple guarding the door. Zhou Jingze had already opened the door of the warehouse, so the two of them went in. Seeing the boxes of things, they didn't even look at what they were. Qiqi put them all into the space and went back to see what good things were in the boxes.
As they walked, they packed up the entire warehouse. They quickly left and locked it up again. Qiqi woke the guarding disciple, and the two of them disappeared in a flash. The two disciples were a little confused. "I just fell asleep. I just dozed off from time to time." They both thought so.
Qiqi soon arrived at another elder's room. Seeing that the elder wasn't asleep, the two of them sprinkled some medicine from the ceiling, knocking him unconscious. They recognized the elder as the one who had troubled them, so they came to him to collect some things to make amends.
They flew up and down. Qiqi saw the elder's room was filled with valuables, which she stored in her space. A beautiful cup remained untouched. Qiqi tried to reach for it, but it didn't budge. She turned the cup, and the bookcase behind it opened, revealing a hidden room.
