Chapter 13 The General's Mansion
"Is this the Palace of the Protector General?" Wang Changsheng looked at the house in front of him with a surprised look on his face.
After searching for half an hour and asking several times, Wang Changsheng found the residence of the General Protecting the Country. According to Wang Changsheng's opinion, the General Protecting the Country was not a simple person at first glance, and the mansion he lived in should be magnificent.
What Wang Changsheng saw now was just an ordinary small courtyard.
"Does the general protecting the country have no status at all?" Wang Changshen was confused.
He knocked on the door, and soon after, a middle-aged man who looked like a servant opened the door. He looked at Wang Changsheng and asked doubtfully: "I wonder what this old gentleman does?"
"Excuse me, is this the residence of the General Protector of the Yunfeng Empire?" Wang Changsheng asked.
The middle-aged man nodded.
"I wonder if I can pay a visit to the General Protecting the Country?" Wang Changsheng asked immediately.
When the middle-aged man heard Wang Changsheng's words, he was immediately stunned, and then showed a puzzled look.
Wang Changsheng reacted immediately and said with a smile: "As entrusted by the elders, I visited the general who protects the country. The general will know it as soon as he sees it!"
The middle-aged man then gave way and invited Wang Changsheng to enter the small courtyard.
However, the middle-aged people are also confused. Judging from Wang Changsheng's appearance, he should be quite old. There are also elders? How old must he be?
As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray gown walking out of the house.
"General!" The servant cupped his fist and saluted the middle-aged man.
Wang Changsheng looked at the man called the general and asked: "General of the Yunfeng Empire to protect the country?"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "It's Fang!"
"I wonder if Taoist Master Fang has any advice?" The general protecting the country looked at Wang Changsheng with a puzzled expression.
Without saying much, Wang Changsheng took out the letter left by his second uncle and handed it to the general protecting the country.
The general protecting the country took the letter and immediately opened it to read. After reading the letter, a smile gradually appeared on the general's face.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Wang!" The general cupped his fists and saluted Wang Changsheng: "Below Qing, he is the master, the registered disciple of your second uncle!"
"That's it!" Wang Changsheng nodded.
Wang Changsheng also understood why his second uncle asked him to come to him. It turned out to be his registered disciple.
"Junior Brother Fang, I don't know why..." Looking at Fang Qing, Wang Changsheng had a puzzled look on his face.
Fang Qing also looked sad and said in a deep voice: "I was attacked by someone and ended up like this!"
As soon as he stepped into the small courtyard, Wang Changsheng felt something was wrong. The whole courtyard was filled with the smell of herbs. When Fang Qing walked out, his face was pale and his energy and blood were low. It was obvious that Fang Qing was injured.
Fang Qing's cultivation level is not low, he is at the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining. This cultivation level may not be considered much in the Shen Tian Realm, but in the Chengtian Realm, he is definitely considered a master.
"If it weren't for the sneak attack by thieves, I wouldn't have ended up like this!" Fang Qing looked sad.
"What is the cultivation level of the person who made the sneak attack?" Wang Changsheng asked immediately.
"I don't know!" Fang Qing said in a deep voice: "At least he is a warrior who has attained the Great Perfection of Qi Refining or the Great Perfection of Innate Heaven, otherwise I would not have discovered anything!"
Wang Changsheng nodded.
Fang Qing turned to his servant and said, "Arrange for my senior brother to stay here!"
The servant nodded.
Then Fang Qing looked at Wang Changsheng and said in a weak tone: "Senior Brother, we have been in bad luck recently. We cannot entertain Senior Brother warmly, so we can only feel sorry for Senior Brother to live here first!"
Obviously, Fang Qing didn't want to say too much to Wang Changsheng. After all, he had just come into contact with Wang Changsheng. Even with the autographed letter from his master, Fang Qing would not be able to trust Wang Changsheng absolutely in a short period of time.
"Excuse me!" Wang Changsheng said, clasping his fists.
With that said, Wang Changsheng followed the servant to stay in the side room.
After the servants left, Wang Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face: "This matter shouldn't be that simple!"
Fang Qinggui is the national protector general of the Yunfeng Empire. Even if Fang Qing himself likes to live in such a small courtyard, the Yunfeng Empire cannot arrange such a small courtyard for Fang Qing for the sake of face.
As for Fang Qing's injury, although he said it lightly, looking at Fang Qing's lonely eyes, Wang Changsheng felt that there must be something going on.
"Ignore it for now, cultivation is important!" Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice: "If something unexpected happens, help if you can. If you can't help, there is nothing you can do!"
Now that Wang Changsheng has reached the realm of opening pulses and has stepped into the threshold of a monk, he does not need Fang Qing's protection at all. I am afraid that his second uncle did not expect that Wang Changsheng would be in danger along the way and make a breakthrough in his cultivation in a desperate situation.
Wang Changsheng has been staying here for more than two months. During this period, he has communicated with Fang Qing a lot, and has gained some understanding of the situation in the Chengtian Realm. Wang Changsheng has also learned a little about the situation in the Yunfeng Empire.
"It turns out that the Yunfeng Empire is in a period of seizing power!" Wang Changsheng looked clear.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just as Wang Changsheng was about to return to his room to practice, there was a knock on the door.
"Um?"
Wang Changsheng immediately frowned: "This breath is a bit familiar..."
Fang Qing signaled to the servant and immediately went to open the door. After a few moments, he led a young man in Chinese clothes to walk in.
"Fourth Prince?"
When Wang Changsheng saw the young man walking in, he said suddenly: "No wonder it feels familiar!"
The person who approached the small courtyard was the fourth prince whom he had rescued. No wonder Wang Changsheng felt familiar.
When the fourth prince saw Wang Changsheng, he looked stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Taoist?"
Wang Changsheng nodded.
It's no wonder that the fourth prince is not sure, because at this moment, Wang Changsheng has become younger due to his breakthrough in cultivation, and is no longer as old as when they first met.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving your life!" The fourth prince immediately cupped his fists and saluted.
"It takes a little effort!" Wang Changsheng waved his hand and said, "You're welcome!"
Fang Qing also asked at this time: "So senior brother and the fourth prince know each other?!"
"We met once!" Wang Changsheng replied with a smile.
Of course Fang Qing didn't believe it was as simple as a one-time relationship. After all, the fourth prince was grateful for his life-saving grace, so something must have happened.
When the fourth prince saw Fang Qing's expression, he immediately explained: "Three years ago, when I returned from my mission to the Jingyu Dynasty, I encountered an assassination tower..."
The fourth prince explained what happened at that time, and then Fang Qing understood.
"It seems to be fate!" Fang Qing looked at the fourth prince and asked: "Your Highness came here this time, and what happened that time will come to an end, right?"
The fourth prince nodded and said: "I have some clues. If the prediction is correct, it should be the assassination building..."
Fang Qing was not surprised when he heard about the Assassination Building. He said with a stern look: "I just don't know which His Highness invited the people from the Assassination Building. If Fang knew... hum..."
"Maybe...it's not a few royal brothers..." the fourth prince said with some uncertainty.
Fang Qing was stunned by the fourth prince's words, and then asked: "That's..."
The fourth prince did not reply, but stretched out his index finger and pointed upward.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Fang Qing immediately looked stern, his whole body tensed up, and he said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the Holy One to do such a thing!"
"For balance..." the fourth prince said softly.
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard the fourth prince's words, and then his whole body went limp, and the lonely look in his eyes became more and more intense.
Wang Changsheng saw this situation and said with a smile: "Junior brother should have guessed it a long time ago!"
Fang Qing didn't answer, his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know what he was mumbling.
"Junior brother... There is something that I don't know whether to say or not!" Wang Changsheng looked at Fang Qing's condition and said softly.
"Senior brother, please speak!" Fang Qing came back to his senses, clasped his fists and said.
Wang Changsheng looked at Fang Qing, smiled and said, "I wonder how much junior brother knows about monks?"
Fang Qing didn't understand why Wang Changsheng asked this, but he still replied: "I know a little bit, but I don't understand much!"
"When the master came here, he accepted me as a registered disciple and taught me this skill!" Fang Qing continued: "It's just that the master said something I didn't know from time to time. Over time, I got some understanding."
"It seems that this is all that junior brother knows about monks!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "The letter that my second uncle gave you was not just for me to take care of me, right?"
"Well! The master's letter said that if I follow you, it is possible to see him again!" Fang Qing said with some yearning: "If I see the master again, he will officially accept me as his disciple!"
"As expected!" Wang Changsheng showed a clear expression.
If it was just for him to break through, Wang Changsheng believed that with his second uncle's strength, even if he could not join the Sanren Pavilion, as long as he was in Shen Tianjing, even if he dug a hole and buried himself in it, the cultivation environment would be better than here.
.
The moment he saw Fang Qing, Wang Changsheng almost understood his second uncle's plan.
Back in the martial arts world, Wang Changsheng was able to be the first person in the world and the pinnacle of the martial arts world. Wang Changsheng's mind was definitely not simple.
Wang Changsheng looked at Fang Qing and said: "The skills of monks are astonishing to the heavens and the earth. The monks you see who are in the realm of Qi Refining and Perfection have actually not even entered the threshold of cultivation!"
"Since junior brother has this opportunity, why do you still care about a mortal country?"
"Let alone fighting for power, what about its life and death?"
"The life span of any monk is longer than the history of a mortal country..."
When Fang Qing heard Wang Changsheng's words, he still didn't understand what Wang Changsheng meant. A wry smile appeared on his face: "Junior brother, I know everything you said, but...it's just..."
Fang Qing's face showed a look of hesitation.
"Since the general has something to say to the Taoist priest, your highness should take the first step!" Seeing this, the fourth prince immediately stood up and said.
Fang Qing nodded and said to the fourth prince: "Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as Fang Qing doesn't die, we will work hard to protect the fourth prince!"
The fourth prince nodded and left.
"Just what?" Wang Changsheng asked immediately when he saw the fourth prince leaving.
Chapter completed!
