Yu Shiqi used to have no interest in matters related to Zhong Ling Qi and Wang Chuan, but now due to the situation, he had to listen patiently to him describing the situation of this organization in recent years.

What shocked him was that Zhuang Lingqi's control over the organization could be said to be extremely careless. Except for the group of people he had met during the meeting on the Wu Yuehua ship, Zhong Lingqi had no control over the organization.

Little is known about the remaining members of the Lethe River.

This was understandable in the first place. After all, Yu Shiqi also believed that Zhong Lingqi’s thoughts were no longer on Jianghu affairs. The reason why he still kept Wangchuan was just because he still couldn’t let go of the emperor who was once his best friend, and he still had the slightest thought of risking his life for him again one day.

Think about it. Besides, as the leader of an organization, he only needs to control his immediate subordinates and then control the entire organization through his subordinates.

"The expansion and personnel management of Wangchuan have always been handled by You Du Ling for me." Zhong Lingqi said slowly, "Including Huyue and other ferry companies that I don't know much about, You Du Ling is also responsible for liaison and management.

.”

Yu Shiqi asked bluntly: "Can you tell me the identity of You Du Ling?"

Zhong Lingqi nodded: "The leader of Youdu is called Nie Guijiang. He is one of the few people in my early Wangchuan tribe who was unwilling to become a royal guard and insisted on staying."

"Would such a person betray you?" Yu Shiqi felt confused.

"I don't know." Zhong Lingqi smiled bitterly, "After so many years, maybe people will change."

Yu Shiqi fell into silence.

"Even if we are the emperor, I dare not say that we can trust each other for a lifetime. Although I have stayed away from the government and the public in these years after leaving the imperial capital, it does not mean that I do not care about the country's major affairs at all." Zhong Lingqi crossed his fingers and sighed,

"I don't agree with some of the things the emperor has done."

Nian Jiu asked decisively: "How should we find Nie Guijiang?"

"I promised Senior Yunhe not to leave here before Yuanye, so I can't help you contact him. Youdu Ling has a very high status in Wangchuan. Apart from me, only Zuo Duling can contact him without his permission.

I will take the initiative to give him the code and contact him."

Zuo Du led... Yu Shiqi was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "Aunt Xiaozhou..."

"Yes, you go find Meng Yuzhou, comfort her and Dong'er for me, and tell them that they don't have to worry about me." Zhong Lingqi smiled at his son, "This is the most appropriate thing for you to do."

Yu Shiqi got the address where Meng Yuzhou and Dong'er currently lived from Zhong Lingqi's mouth, and was ready to leave immediately.

"Yu Yanzhi, wait a minute." Nian Jiu suddenly stopped him, and then asked Zhong Lingqi: "I hope you, the ferry master, can reveal the detailed information about Nie Guijiang to us, in case we have to fight with him.

It’s good to have a foundation.”

Zhong Lingqi did not refuse, and told him what he knew: "He belongs to a low-key faction in Wangchuan and never shows off his martial arts. I heard that he carries six unpredictable knives with him, but he usually kills people in succession."

He doesn’t even need a sword, he has already become an elite member comparable to a Toshi-level member more than ten years ago.”

"It sounds very troublesome." Nian Jiu said distressedly.

"On the right crossing of Wangchuan River, trouble is natural."

"He carries six knives with him, wouldn't that be very conspicuous?" Yu Shiqi thought of this.

Zhong Lingqi shook his head: "No one knows what his six swords are. Maybe they are six swords, maybe they are six martial arts moves, maybe they are six kinds of strange weapons."

Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu exchanged glances, and each could read uneasiness in the other's eyes.

"In addition, I have another piece of information to give you regarding the matter you are investigating." Zhong Lingqi said seriously, "I wonder if you have noticed the tall dragon pillars in the direction of the imperial city in the north after you came to the imperial capital?"

Longzhu? Yu Shiqi and Nianjiu were both stunned.

In the front yard of Yunzhongjian's office in Beijing, Yun Jingchen, who was waiting for others and was bored, looked around curiously, turning a blind eye to the wary glances from time to time by the swordsman in white guarding the door.

He walked around the courtyard and finally stopped and looked north, with a puzzled look on his face: "Eh? What is that tall thing?"

The overhanging eaves of the houses in the courtyard obscured his view. Yun Jingchen wanted to clarify his doubts and looked around for a suitable place to climb. His behavior finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the gatekeeper.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

"Ah? Me?" Yun Jingchen was startled by the sudden shouting behind him, turned around and sneered: "I just want to see clearly what is that tall thing to the north..."

"That's the Dragon Pillar." The swordsman guarding the gate rolled his eyes impatiently, "It took more than half a year to build it. It's in the square in front of Chaotian Palace. The Regent of the Shangyuan Festival led the imperial ministers to express their feelings in front of Chaotian Palace.

Worship God and hold a palace banquet."

"What? Dragon pillar?" Yun Jingchen was confused, "Is that a big pillar?"

"You'll know after you see it yourself." The swordsman waved his hand.

"Hey, if you know, just tell me."

Seeing that the man stopped paying attention to him, Yun Jingchen puffed up his cheeks in frustration.

"Let's go." Someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, and Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu appeared on Yun Jingchen's side.

"Special task, senior brother, you have finally come out... Hey, where are you going?" Yun Jingchen was pushed out by the two of them with a confused look on his face.

"Yu Yanzhi has other important matters. Please accompany me to the square in front of Chaotian Palace to take a look at the dragon pillar." Nian Jiu said.

Yun Jingchen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! I was just going to see what it was."

Yu Shiqi separated from the two of them at the door. He was going to the address given by Zhongling to find Meng Yuzhou to inquire about the news about Wangchuan Youdu leading Nie back to Xinjiang.

…

There was a teapot and a teacup on the table in the guest room. The tea in the cup had already cooled down. Meng Yuzhou was sitting on a chair, leaning his head on his arms and closing his eyes to relax.

Dong'er, on the other hand, sat on the edge of the bed with some boredom, swinging her legs, unable to bear the loneliness, her eyes wandering around. After a while, she tiptoed out of bed, and walked toward the door like a kitten.

"Dong'er." Meng Yuzhou's solemn call came from behind.

The girl who was about to open the door trembled, turned around awkwardly, and found that her mother was still resting with her eyes closed.

"Mom, I want to go downstairs to get some fresh air...and don't run around."

"The imperial capital is so big and there are so many people, so be careful if you get lost." Meng Yuzhou advised.

"Mom - I'm not a child anymore." Dong'er said coquettishly, "My brother went to Yunzhongjian alone when he was sixteen years old."

"There's really nothing we can do about you..." Meng Yuzhou sat up and curled his lips helplessly, "Don't go too far."

"Hey!" Dong'er smiled happily, opened the door openly and went out, then poked half of his head in from the door: "Mom, do you want to eat something? I'll buy it for you."

"No need." Meng Yuzhou shook his head, "Mom is a little sleepy and has no appetite."

Dong'er frowned slightly and said with concern: "Then... why don't you go to bed and have a good sleep, mother? I will play by myself downstairs and I won't disturb you."

"You go ahead, don't worry about me, get some fresh air and come back early."

Dong'er agreed, closed the door, hummed a little tune, walked through the inn corridor, and trotted downstairs while holding on to the stairs.

When she reached the last six or seven steps, she got playful for a moment, jumped boldly, turned somersaults in the air, and landed smoothly on the ground with open arms, surprising the innkeeper and accountant who were in the lobby on the first floor.

At first glance.

"Little girl...be careful."

"Hey, it's okay." Dong'er smiled proudly, thinking to herself, this is nothing, isn't it just a few steps, what a fuss.

She jumped out of the inn door with her hands behind her back, not noticing the two pairs of eyes behind her looking at her.
