Chapter 469 is much worse
"It seems that your Fengyun Sect has a very good foundation. I could just vaguely sense that his internal strength should also be quite good. The fact that someone like Changfeng is a protector is enough to show that he is capable."
She hadn't inquired about the specifics of Fengyun Tower. The main reason she had invited Sikong Mo to Fengyun Tower was because of Changfeng. Moreover, Fengyun Tower made her feel safe, mainly because she had heard that it didn't participate in the internal affairs of any country or dynasty, but only dealt with matters of the martial arts world, which gave her no worries.
"Fengyun Tower has been around for quite some time now, and it has gone through a very long process to develop to this point. Back when my father had not yet taken over the Great Zhou Dynasty from my grandfather, the internal affairs of the Great Zhou were very turbulent, beset by internal and external troubles. Fortunately, my grandfather had the strong support of my maternal grandfather at that time. My maternal grandfather was the owner of Fengyun Tower at that time, or rather, the owner of the predecessor of Fengyun Tower. He was also my grandfather's sworn brother."
"Then, your mother married your father, and then Fengyunlou secretly helped you quell the internal strife, is that right?"
Sikong Jin fully utilized her imagination, raising her delicate eyebrows as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun glanced at her. "You're wrong. It was Grandpa who directly helped Grandfather quell the internal strife, without even Grandfather having to say a word. He eliminated all threats through assassinations, intimidation, and covert actions! You don't know, Grandpa has been traveling the world for many years, and he's extremely ruthless and efficient. Once he senses a potential threat, he will definitely take action to eliminate it. Later, Grandfather was deeply moved and wanted to directly bestow upon Grandpa the title of Prince of the First Rank, but Grandpa refused. Later, Father met Mother. Grandfather didn't know Mother before. Mother often says that my personality is somewhat like Grandpa's."
After listening to Di Beizun's explanation, Sikong Jin finally understood some of the details about Fengyun Tower.
It should be said that Fengyun Tower was a trump card that Emperor Beizun had placed in the martial arts world.
So, Fengyun Tower must have evolved from the power held by his maternal grandfather before it became Fengyun Tower. It has quite a history, no wonder it seems to have a deep foundation.
……
The branch of Fengyun Tower in Taizhou City is located deep in a secluded bamboo forest in the western part of the city. It is a rather mysterious and secluded mansion.
As soon as the two dismounted and entered the courtyard, they found that the path leading to the flower hall was lined with subordinates dressed in uniform black, all from this branch.
Hot water and dinner had already been prepared upstairs. As soon as she returned to her assigned room, Sikong Jin didn't care about anything else and immediately took a bath!
I'm cold and hungry!
Moreover, she felt particularly uncomfortable. After being soaked in the rain all day, if it weren't for Di Beizun occasionally donating some internal energy to her, she would have been almost completely drained of her strength long ago.
After quickly washing up and changing into a clean set of clothes, when Sikong Jin arrived at the side hall, Di Beizun had also finished bathing and changed into a black brocade robe, looking quite handsome and imposing. Just as Sikong Jin entered the side hall, Di Beizun was talking to the branch leader of Taizhou City about the situation in the Dayong Imperial City.
She remained silent, quietly sitting down at the coffee table beside her. She leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it while listening to their conversation.
"You're saying that Protector Changfeng was here before?"
Di Beizun gazed indifferently at the man in black before him, took a sip of tea, and asked calmly.
The man in black nodded. "Yes, Master! Protector Changfeng came to Taizhou City a few days ago and informed me that you might need to come over in the next few days. Please let me take good care of you. I dare not neglect you and have been leading the brothers and sisters of the branch to wait for you and your wife for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun nodded and lowered his eyes indifferently, "Tell me what you know about the Great Yong Imperial City."
Yes, OP!
The man in black clasped his hands respectfully and said, “Master, the capital of Dayong is currently in a state of great turmoil. The Sikong Mansion and the Liu Mansion are locked in a stalemate. The Emperor of Dayong has already sent the Imperial Guards to trap the Ji Mansion. Ji Wuge is seriously injured and is currently imprisoned in the heavily guarded Heavenly Prison. The Tang family, especially Tang Jingyao, has tried many times to rescue him and has even submitted a memorial to the Emperor of Dayong, but they still cannot persuade him to relent. The Sikong Madam and the Ninth Princess Xing Fuhua, who were originally imprisoned in the palace, are now missing. News of assassinations of court officials is frequently heard in the Dayong court. The court of Dayong is currently in a state of great turmoil. Ji Jiucheng is also trapped in the northwest of Dayong and cannot move. It seems that the Emperor of Dayong has now completely taken control of the capital.”
Upon hearing these words, Sikong Jin subconsciously frowned.
"Most of the officials who died were former confidants of Xing Qitian, as well as people who were very close to the Ji family. Therefore, it is obvious that these things were done secretly by Emperor Dayong. He wanted to eliminate those who stood in his way. Now the entire court is in a state of panic and silence. No one dares to openly disobey or question Emperor Dayong's decisions."
The man in black continued.
It seems things are far worse than she imagined!
As Sikong Jin listened, her delicate brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Could you find out where Madam Sikong and the Ninth Princess are being held, and what is the situation with Ji Wuge?"
As soon as the man in black stopped speaking, Sikong Jin could no longer contain her anxiety and hurriedly asked.
"Reporting to Madam, the investigation into the whereabouts of Madam Sikong and the Ninth Princess is still ongoing by Protector Changfeng. Protector Changfeng previously conducted a nighttime raid on the prison where Ji Wuge is being held and found him to be severely injured. However, Protector Changfeng has treated his injuries. Although time was short, as far as I know, Ji Wuge should be able to hold on for a while."
The man in black had been working for Changfeng before. Due to the urgency of the situation, he was transferred back to Taizhou City to recruit more people. Later, when he learned that Di Beizun was coming, he was assigned to wait for Di Beizun and Sikong Jin here.
"Protector Changfeng failed to rescue Ji Wuge, fearing that alerting the Emperor of Dayong would arouse his suspicion. Moreover, the Ji family members are still in his hands, and he fears that in a fit of rage, the Emperor might take action against them. Therefore..."
"Didn't the Sikong Mansion amass a considerable number of troops near the capital of Dayong? What's the situation there?"
Di Beizun's cold and beautiful face was somewhat gloomy and uncertain. After a moment of silence, she calmly asked.
