Due to various events that occurred before the battle at Guanchao Tower, Teng Yining did not arrange for Lingyin's agents to continue intelligence work on the Destiny Alliance out of generosity. Therefore, the Huangwu Sect had no idea what happened in Luohan at this time.

No idea about the accident.

After Lezheng Longhua took control of the Jiang family and his son, he easily took control of the Destiny Alliance, and the Dragon Blood God Sect was officially resurrected in Chengjun Hall.

At the same time, in Yunxiang City, the imperial capital of Chenling, preparations for the coronation ceremony of Prince Regent Mu Qingxuan are in full swing. No matter what the people in the world think, this is already a highly anticipated event for the imperial court.

The remnants of the Beining era had almost been wiped out in the riots in the imperial capital at the beginning of the year. Ye Wangshu is still imprisoned in prison, while Emperor Mu Zhiren sleeps forever under the mausoleum prepared for him.

"Twenty years of hard work, swords and guns have cut down all the weeds, and the same dream has been written down." Chen Tingqiu raised his hand and touched the hanging wicker, and the shadow of a young man suddenly flashed in his heart. She has had many grievances and resentments in these years.

I can hardly remember it clearly, but when I dream about it late at night, I always think of what happened during the siege of thousands of troops in Beishan.

Chen Tingqiu was slightly startled by the soft sound of an ordinary pebble falling at her feet. She did not have good control over the strength of her hand and immediately broke the wicker.

She turned around and saw Yu Shiqi sitting on the wall of the courtyard with his legs crossed, looking at her with a smile: "The willow trees are broken to say goodbye. Does Mr. Chen have any old friends to leave?"

Chen Tingqiu smiled faintly: "You are probably the only person in this imperial capital who can call me an old friend now."

Yu Shiqi said sympathetically: "It seems that Mr. Chen doesn't have many friends."

"Yeah, I don't have many friends."

Chen Tingqiu happily admitted it, but his generous self-deprecation made Yu Shiqi not know how to continue the conversation. He jumped down from the wall and handed over a small box wrapped in blue cloth in his hand.

"What's this?"

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from Yunting Town are not worth the slightest gift."

"Oh, it's rare." Chen Tingqiu looked at him in surprise, as if he wanted to understand Yu Shiqi's intention of giving the gift.

"I don't have many friends in the imperial capital. I came here to bring a gift this time as a way of thanking Mr. Chen for sharing the difficulties with us."

Chen Tingqiu said seriously: "I don't remember that happening."

"I don't remember that. I hope you'll accept the gift." Yu Shiqi replied tactfully, and the two of them once again understood each other tacitly.

Chen Tingqiu smiled and accepted it: "Compared with the rare treasures sent by those who want to ask my brother for help, this gift is particularly suitable for me. Thank you, Young Master Yu."

"Your Excellency, you must be very busy recently." Yu Shiqi asked casually.

"Yes, I was often kept in the palace, and sometimes I didn't go home for several days." They all understood the reason behind it, and there was no need to explain it clearly.

Yu Shiqi nodded and prepared to say goodbye to her. After all, this was the residence of the right prime minister. It was not convenient for him as an outsider to stay here and talk to Chen Tingqiu for too long. He might cause trouble if he was seen by others.

Chen Tingqiu saw that he seemed to want to climb over the wall and go out the same way, so he took the initiative and said: "I will let you go out through the side door. You can climb over the wall and let people know whether you are a knight or a thief."

Yu Shiqi thought for a moment and had no reason to refuse, so he let Chen Tingqiu lead him through the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Are you here on official business for the Yuwu Division?" Chen Tingqiu asked after seeing him off.

"That's right." Yu Shiqi replied with a guilty conscience. Teng Antong did not agree to take him with him when he came to Beijing this time. He came on his own.

However, now that the confinement has been lifted and his status as a special agent has been restored, there is nothing wrong with him wanting to move around freely. However, it is just that the person he is doing this for the first time is his aunt and his immediate boss at Yunzhongjian, so he will inevitably feel a little guilty.

Chen Tingqiu saw that he seemed to have something to hide, so he smiled knowingly and did not ask any more questions. He just politely said that if he had any difficulties in the capital and needed help, he could come to him again.

After Yu Shiqi left Youxiang Mansion, he planned to go back to the inn where he was staying. On the way, he deliberately took a detour to avoid Yunzhongjian's station in Beijing so as not to meet Teng Antong.

He thought he was well-thought-out, so he took a long way back to the inn and was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the room. Teng Antong was sitting at the table waiting for him, and the teacup on the table was still steaming.

"Would you like tea?" Teng Antong glanced at him, her calm tone as if she was the host and Yu Shiqi was the guest.

Then, without waiting for Yu Shiqi's reply, she turned over a cup and placed it on the table, filled it with tea and pushed it to Yu Shiqi's side.

"This is the tea I brought myself. I don't like drinking. The most popular place for entertainment in the imperial capital back then was the teahouse." Teng Antong said to himself, "Drinking too much wine will make things worse, but tea can wake you up."

god."

Yu Shiqi walked over and sat down on the chair: "When did the sect leader find out that I was following behind?"

"I'll know as soon as you leave the villa." Teng Antong looked indifferent.

"The sect leader has obviously restored my identity as a special agent, but he still looks for someone to monitor me in the villa?" Yu Shiqi almost wanted to slam the table, but was stopped by the eyes of Teng Antong who noticed his intention.

"I am the leader of Yunzhongjian. Is there any problem in keeping track of the movements of my subordinates?"

Yu Shiqi was speechless, and after a while he asked again: "Then the sect master already knew that, why didn't he stop me on the way, but waited until he got to the imperial capital to see me."

"I'm not your mother." Teng Antong curled his lips and said quietly, "I can't control everything for you."

"oh."

"Who did you just go to meet?"

"The sect leader said that he won't control everything..."

"Appropriate care is always okay, right?" Teng Antong's eyes were filled with anger.

"I went to see Mr. Chen."

"Which Mr. Chen?" Teng Antong was secretly surprised, "It can't be the right minister Chen Yechen, right?"

"It's his sister Chen Tingqiu." Yu Shiqi explained, "Last time in the imperial capital, she helped me with some help, so I went to give her some gifts to return the favor."

"Are you referring to the time when you helped the rebels who broke into the palace and kidnapped the princess escape?"

Yu Shiqi looked at her awkwardly and nodded slowly.

I thought that Teng Antong would lecture me on this topic, but I didn't expect that she just took a sip of tea with helpless eyes, and then stood up to leave.

"Chen Tingqiu will see you less often. It's good for both you and her." She said to Yu Shiqi before leaving, "I have something to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I don't have time to come and see you. Don't give me any trouble."

"yes."

"That's right." Before Teng Antong went out, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said to Yu Shiqi: "Recently, a group of Panyi painters from the Western Regions have booked the Yuanqing Building for a painting exhibition, and there are also many Chen Lin.

Famous people come here to communicate with each other. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. I have placed the invitation for admission by your bedside."

Yu Shiqi was stunned: "How come the sect master has an invitation to enter?"

"It was given by someone else." Teng Antong shrugged, "Some people are stupid and don't have the right ideas when giving gifts."

"Sincerity is the most important thing."
