After returning to the inn, Chi Zhongtian first went to see Shao Jin. The child was quite obedient, didn't cry or make trouble, and seemed to have a good impression of Qiu Chan. When Chi Zhongtian entered the room, Shao Jin was pestering him.

Qiu Chan asked her to tell a story.

"Oh my young master, I've finished telling the story, why do you still want to hear it?" It seemed that all the stock in Qiu Chan's belly had been drained by Shao Jin.

"Sister, I want to listen to stories. My mother always tells me stories when she is fine."

Shao Jin suddenly pouted his mouth in grievance and said pitifully.

When Qiu Chan saw him like this, she immediately couldn't bear it and quickly coaxed him: "Well, my sister will tell you later. You have to let her drink some tea first, right?"

"Master, look at how cute this child is." Qiu Chan said with a smile after seeing Chi Zhongtian.

Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "He is very cute. You have to coax him well."

"Don't worry, sir. Although I'm not very good at coaxing children, I will definitely not let him get lost."

Qiu Chan's words almost made Chi Zhongtian laugh.

...

Soon, two days passed. In the past two days, Chi Zhongtian didn't go there and stayed in the inn. Several people from Mingye who guarded Qiantian came to report the situation several times. Chi Zhongtian planned

There should be some movement from the Fuyu Holy Sect.

Sure enough, just after this afternoon, Ye Luo came to the inn.

When Chi Zhongtian saw Ye Luo, he didn't say much and asked directly: "How is it? Is there any movement over there?"

Ye Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the Fuyu Sect sent a person to deliver a message to the military camp today."

"What did you say?"

"The letter said that the emperor was asked to give ten cities in southern Xinjiang in exchange for his son's life." Ye Luo said.

After Chi Zhongtian heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I knew their appetite would not be small."

"Master, they have put in so much effort, wouldn't it be boring if they didn't make a fortune?" Ye Luo also echoed.

"It seems that this matter is troublesome. If the Fuyu Sect wants money or people, we can make the decision privately, but if we want a city, this is no small matter. It is related to the survival of the territory, and we cannot solve it."

"Master, what should we do?" Ye Luo asked.

"I have no choice but to go back and report the truth to the emperor." Chi Zhongtian said silently, with uncontrollable anger shining in his eyes.

In the evening of that day, Chi Zhongtian went to the military camp. After discussing with Lu Gui and several others, everyone felt that since the Fuyu Holy Sect had offered such conditions, it was inevitable to report to the emperor.

It's just that Lijiang City still needs someone to defend, and they can't all leave at once, so after thinking about it for a while, the generals decided to let Lu Gui and Li Guang go back, while the other generals stayed here.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it would be a disaster if they went back this time. King Qing would be arrested and the emperor would be furious. Once this anger burned, the failure to protect them would be burned on their heads.

One day later, Chi Zhongtian, Lu Gui and Li Guang prepared to return to the capital.

Because Fuyu Holy Cult mentioned in the letter that the time limit was only three months, so there was not much time left for them.

On the way, Chi Zhongtian had already written down in detail what he saw and heard in Lijiang City this time. He planned to take some time to tell the emperor in advance. If he told the emperor in court, then he would

In front of all the civil and military officials, the emperor had to get angry even if he didn't want to.

No one was delayed at all along the way, and several horses ran to death. Fortunately, Li Guang and Lu Gui were both well-known generals in the court, so when they arrived at a post station, they could always find the best horse to replace them with.

In this way, ten days later, they returned to the capital.

In order not to attract attention, they deliberately chose to enter the city in the middle of the night.

"Two generals, are you coming with me, or are you looking for a place to stay on your own?" Chi Zhongtian asked after entering the city.

"General Bu Laochi is worried about you. We all have residences in the capital," Lu Gui said.

"Well, in that case, let's say goodbye for now and see you again tomorrow morning." Chi Zhongtian Gong said with cupped hands.

"General Chi." Lu Gui suddenly called him with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong with General Lu?"

"General, tomorrow morning, if... if it is convenient for the general... I hope... I hope I can say a few kind words for the soldiers in southern Xinjiang. This time, it is mainly because of me that this happened.

It's a big deal, I'm afraid that if the Holy One becomes angry, those soldiers may suffer."

After hearing this, Chi Zhongtian felt a wave of excitement in his heart. Lu Gui himself was in danger, but he was still thinking about the soldiers under his command.

"General, don't worry. This time, it's not your fault. I will do my best tomorrow to keep you all safe!" Chi Zhongtian said categorically.

"Thank you, General Chi!" Lu Gui and Li Guang both said with joy.

After parting ways with Li Guang and Lu Gui, Chi Zhongtian took the rest of the people and arrived at Zi Di's home in Yongmen without stopping.

At this time, there were almost no people on the street. When Chi Zhongtian arrived in front of Di's house in Yongmenzi, there was no one nearby.

"Xiaoye, go call the door." Chi Zhongtian said.

Ye Luo nodded, then walked over and patted the door.

Soon, it was opened, and a head appeared inside, which looked like a servant. He asked coldly: "Who is it?"

"Please report back and tell me that Mr. Chi Zhongtian is here to visit." Ye Luo said.

"It's too late. Let's talk tomorrow. We've already gone to bed." The man seemed a little sleepy and impatiently pushed Ye Luo out, then closed the door smoothly.

"Humph!" No one was in a good mood in the middle of the night. He was like this, and Ye Luo was even more so.

"Hurry up and send me a message, or believe it or not, I will kill you!" Ye Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, and then pulled him fiercely.

At this moment, Ye Luo suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder.

"Xiaoye." Chi Zhongtian's voice came from behind him.

"I am Chi Zhongtian, the great general of the imperial court, Wulong Yangwei. I have something to ask of Taifu Yongmen. Please report it as soon as possible!" Chi Zhongtian said loudly.

Chi Zhongtian used such formal words. When the servant heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Oh, General, forgive me. I will report it now!"

Soon, there were some noisy footsteps inside, and then the door was opened.

"Brother Chi!" The person who came out was none other than Yongmenzi Di.
