The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

Lin Huaiyu bowed to Chu Xiu with utmost respect.

"But has the number one manor in the world made a move?"

Chu Xiu glanced at Lin Huaiyu, smiled calmly, and said as he walked towards the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Qin Feng, the young master of the Number One Manor under Heaven, left the Number One Manor under Heaven openly and honestly yesterday."

"We arrived in the capital last night."

"Currently, I am staying at Qingfeng Inn."

Lin Huaiyu said with a solemn expression.

Not long after.

"Is that Qin Feng, the one known as the Sword Immortal?"

Chu Xiu walked into the main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, sat down in the main seat, and said with a playful smile.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is Qin Feng, who is known as the Sword Immortal."

"Qin Feng's trip to the capital this time must be aimed at the Marquis."

"My lord, it would be best if you did not leave our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters during this period of time, but stayed here."

"I am worried that Qin Feng may pose a threat to the Marquis."

Lin Huaiyu considered it for a moment, then said with a worried expression.

The situation is different within the Embroidered Uniform Guard Headquarters, which is staffed by the three chief officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Thousands of elite Imperial Guards could form a killing formation at any time should any unexpected situation arise.

With the Killing Blade Formation, even if a master at the Human Immortal Realm came to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Headquarters, he would only be left with blood splattered everywhere!

"Is it disadvantageous to me?"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."

At least he wouldn't dare to do it openly.

Moreover, do you think he would send someone to attack our Jinyiwei headquarters or my residence?

No, he won't.

These methods are far too rudimentary.

For someone as proud as Qin Feng, such a thing wouldn't be worth doing.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Lin Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, then asked Chu Xiu.

As the person in charge of intelligence in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he naturally knew that Qin Feng was indeed extremely proud.

His open and aboveboard arrival in the capital was essentially a way of telling everyone that Qin Feng had come to the capital to find Chu Xiu.

Such a person would certainly not engage in sneak attacks or assassinations.

"Just wait and see. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

"I'd like to see how he's going to take my head next."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said.

"My lord, do you think he might do what Qin Feng did and openly challenge our Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Lin Huaiyu said thoughtfully.

"will not."

“A proud man like him, even if he were to fight me openly and honestly, would certainly not come to our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to challenge me.”

"Because, by all accounts, he should be considered a contemporary of Lord Yan."

"Although he is ten years younger than Lord Yan, he is not of the same generation as me."

Chu Xiu shook his head and said with unwavering determination, "Since I am not of the same generation as him, my cultivation level is far below his."

Then he wouldn't do that.

Lin Huaiyu looked bewildered. He wanted to fight the Marquis openly, but he wouldn't challenge him at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

Could it be that he intends to challenge the Marquis in secret, without anyone knowing?

Furthermore, the Marquis must be removed from the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

Chu Xiu did not intend to explain to Lin Huaiyu. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

An hour later.

Lin Huaiyu strode to the study of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Marquis, there have been numerous thefts in the homes of ordinary people in the capital, and the capital is now in turmoil."

squeak...

The door to the study of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard slowly opened, and Chu Xiu walked out of the study, a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Is this Qin Feng's trick?"

To be honest, he was a little disappointed.

I thought Qin Feng, the young master of the number one manor in the world, would come up with some interesting tricks.

result……

That's it?

Just because a commoner's home was burglarized, they want him, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to leave the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters?

"In addition to the numerous thefts in ordinary people's homes, many beautiful young women were also abducted."

“And in the homes of all the abducted girls, a note was left behind.”

"This is exactly the same as what happened in the homes of the burglarized residents!"

"On this piece of paper, there is a drawing of a barren mountain."

"I have already investigated this desolate mountain; it is located just a few dozen miles outside the capital."

Lin Huaiyu's expression turned serious, and he solemnly said, "The number of girls who were abducted, as just tallied, is exactly one hundred."

The number of residents whose homes were burglarized was exactly three hundred.

"barren mountain?"

"Leave a note?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems this is Qin Feng's real trick."

He was telling Ben Hou.

Whether it's the stolen property of ordinary people or those one hundred girls.

They are all in these desolate mountains.

Of course, it's also possible that it won't be in the barren mountains, but rather that it will be told to this lord.

"As long as I go to this desolate mountain, the stolen property belonging to these one hundred young girls and the common people will be returned intact."

"My lord, shall we immediately summon our elite Imperial Guards and head to this desolate mountain?"

Lin Huaiyu said, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"No need, I will go to this desolate mountain alone."

"Since Qin Feng wants me to go to this place, he must want me to take Dugu Yanyu there."

"It can only be the two of us going there."

“If you go, those hundred girls and all that property may not be able to return safely.”

Chu Xiu shook his head and said.

He was going because he was the Marquis of Champion and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Dugu Yanyu's killing of Qin Yan must have been on his orders.

Dugu Yanyu went there because he had personally killed Qin Yan.

Qin Feng's purpose in coming here is undoubtedly to take the heads of him and Dugu Yanyu.

"This……"

"My lord, will you be in danger if we do this?"

Lin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently.

"Don't worry, since I dare to go, I'm confident I can come back alive."

"If I want to leave, no one can stop me!"

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and said casually.

With the Five Elements Escape Technique, he can come and go as he pleases, and even Qin Feng cannot stop him!

Do you have a map showing the location of the barren mountain?

Chu Xiu said with a calm expression.

"Reporting to the Marquis, this is the location of the desolate mountain."

Lin Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on his face. He took out a map from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it in front of Chu Xiu, pointed out the location of the barren mountain, and said.

Before he came, he guessed that once Chu Xiu learned of this matter, he would likely have to go to this desolate mountain alone to keep the appointment.

So he had already prepared the map.

"Tell Dugu Yanyu to wait outside our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters."

"Come with me to this desolate mountain."

Chu Xiu glanced at it and knew exactly where the desolate mountain was. He waved to Lin Huaiyu and said...

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Lin Huaiyu bowed to Chu Xiu and quietly withdrew.

He also felt that Chu Xiu was able to infiltrate Yuejun County and kill King Murong Zhi of Zhao even with the protection of many experts. It seemed that Chu Xiu must really possess the legendary Five Elements Escape Technique. If he wanted to leave, Qin Feng really couldn't stop him.

After Lin Huaiyu left.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

This figure was none other than Yan Qingfeng, the Junior Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory.

Yan Qingfeng looked at Chu Xiu calmly and said, "My lord, would you like me to secretly accompany you out of the city and protect your safety?"
