Chapter 124
"Master Qiao, please come in. We are sorry for not welcoming you."
A middle-aged man ran out quickly. He was a master at the peak of the Grandmaster level.
His face was full of smiles, but his movements were very careful.
Although Shi Zhixuan and Dongfang Bai were puzzled as to what Qiao Feng was doing in Tianji Tower, they could only follow Qiao Feng inside.
"Give me all the information about Xuanwu."
Qiao Feng said.
As they entered the Tianji Tower, the news spread throughout Chang'an at a very fast speed.
The Huashan Sword Contest had just ended, and the masters of various forces were temporarily staying in Chang'an, waiting for the follow-up development of Xuanwu. At this moment, they all set their sights on the Tianji Tower branch in Chang'an.
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said,"To be honest with you, Mr. Qiao, we don't have any information about Xuanwu, so we can't make a deal."
Qiao Feng was not surprised. He drank a sip of tea and looked outside.
There were almost no people in the Tianji Tower today, but as they entered, there were many more people watching the excitement outside the door.
""Does Mr. Qiao need any other information?"
Qiao Feng asked,"How do you want to hear from me, Excellency?""
"Qiao Daxia, you can just call me Li Qian."
Qiao Feng said,"Oh, Captain Li, right? Tianji Tower is one of the forces of the Azure Dragon Society. I thought you would choose to close down after being exposed today, but it seems that you have strong self-confidence."
Li Qian lowered his head and said,"We are just businessmen. Besides, I didn't know about the Azure Dragon Society before."
"It doesn't matter, you already know it, right?"
Qiao Feng was chatting with Li Qian. Outside the door, there was a neat sound of troops marching.
Li Qian was startled and hurried out to see. He found that a general led a large group of soldiers to surround the Tianji Tower.
"We have received a report that the Tianji Tower is harboring traitors from the imperial court. Listen to my orders and search with all your might. Don't let any place go untouched."
With this order, the masters of the Tianji Tower were arrested before they had time to resist. They didn't dare to resist in the first place. If they resisted in front of the Tang army, they would most likely be killed on the spot.
They might be able to defeat a few dozen soldiers, but if they angered the army, they could be drowned with human wave tactics.
Not to mention that the leader was Luo Cheng, a solid general at the peak of the Grandmaster level.
Li Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said,"General Luo, where did the traitors come from in our Tianji Tower? They are all good people who abide by the law."
"We will judge for ourselves. Do you want to stop us from arresting the traitors?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Li Qian said hurriedly.
At this time, Qiao Feng walked out slowly,"Captain Li, don't worry, just watch here. If there are no rebels, I will definitely clear your name."
Although the words seemed easy, Li Qian always felt that Qiao Feng meant for him to stay here and not run around, and don't even think about moving.
Li Qian's clothes were soaked with cold sweat on his back.
He was originally planning to close the Tianji Tower. After all, they knew the news on Mount Huashan earlier than anyone else.
But he didn't expect the order from above to be normal business.
This stubbornness caused problems.
He just hoped that they were here to demonstrate, and when they left, he would definitely close the door and stay away from Chang'an.
"Report to the general, Tianji Tower is indeed harboring traitors from the imperial court."
At this moment, four or five soldiers escorted a member of Tianji Tower out. The other party was wearing the uniform of Tianji Tower.
"General Luo, have you made a mistake? He has been in our Tianji Tower for many years, and many people in Chang'an know him."
The man also cried out:"You caught the wrong person, General Luo, I am not a traitor."
Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand,"Seal off the Tianji Tower, arrest all the people involved in the case, and put them in the Tianlao, waiting for interrogation."
Crash...
Tianji Tower was quickly occupied, and even Li Qian was arrested with his internal strength sealed.
Then, the whole Chang'an saw that Tianji Tower was completely sealed, and all members of Tianji Tower were put on iron chains and arrested. They cried out for injustice all the way, and no one dared to question it. What they didn't know was that at the same time, orders had already been passed out in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Before dark the next day, all Tianji Towers in the territory of the Tang Dynasty were sealed, and all Tianji Tower personnel were either killed or arrested.
And Qiao Feng also left Tianji Tower with a few people.
"Brother Qiao, what you discussed with the King of Qin was to eradicate the Tianji Tower?"
Returning to the courtyard, Huang Rong couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qiao Feng shook his head,"No."
"That……"
Qiao Feng said,"It may be a coincidence. We are discussing another matter, which is much more important than the Tianji Tower."
Only he knew that eradicating the Tianji Tower seemed to be a big move, but in fact it was just to disgust the Qinglong Society.
Because the Qinglong Society has more than 360 branches all over the world, the Tianji Tower can only be said to be an accompanying intelligence organization.
Something more important than the Tianji Tower?
Shi Zhixuan and Dongfang Bai both fell into deep thought.
But before they could think for long, they were sent away by Qiao Feng to recover their skills.
Qiao Feng himself also entered the state of practicing.
He had a sense of urgency. With the emergence of the four spiritual beasts, his own strength was not enough to guarantee absolute safety.
The next day, not long after dawn, Qiao Feng finished his practice and arrived at the courtyard.
""What's going on?"
He looked at the messy front yard and asked.
It was impossible for a disciple of the Ming Sect to ignore the rules of the sect and cause such a mess. Something must have happened.
"Master, it is Master Zhang who has come to Chang'an."
Xiao Zhao ran to Qiao Feng and explained hurriedly
"Zhang Sanfeng?" Qiao Feng asked in surprise.
Xiao Zhao nodded:"Yes, it's Zhang Zhenren from Wudang."
Qiao Feng frowned:"Why would Zhang Zhenren come to Chang'an suddenly? According to the itinerary, he set out at least yesterday and did not stop along the way. Could it be for the matter of Xuanwu... Let's go out and take a look."
Zhang Sanfeng did come, and also caused a great disturbance in Chang'an.
He went to the place where Zhang Wuji and others stayed.
Qiao Feng was about to go out, but he stopped suddenly.
""Master?" Xiao Zhao was surprised.
"No need to go, he's here."
Qiao Feng looked towards the gate.
The Ming Cult disciples fell silent, looking at the old man with white hair and beard but a radiant face.
""Master Zhang, long time no see." Qiao Feng bowed.
Zhang Sanfeng laughed,"My dear Qiao, how are you? I didn't mean to disturb you, but I want to go to Huashan. After thinking about it, I think you are the best guide. Do you have time to go with me?"
Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows,"I can go to Huashan at any time, but Master Zhang is so well-informed? Going up the mountain for Xuanwu?"
Zhang Sanfeng said,"We will talk about this in detail later, but my dear Qiao, there is no need to be so distant. It sounds uncomfortable to call me Master Zhang all the time. You can just call me Old Zhang." Qiao Feng said,"Haha, that's true. Then I'll take the liberty to call you Brother Zhang. Please come in."
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand,"My dear, I'm afraid we can't delay."
Qiao Feng was surprised,"So urgent?"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
Qiao Feng looked around and said,"Don't leave Chang'an. Rest where you are. I'll go to Huashan."
After that, he bowed to Zhang Sanfeng and said,"Brother Zhang, let's set off now."
After the two of them finished talking, they immediately pulled two fast horses to Huashan.
Halfway through leaving Chang'an, Qiao Feng asked,"Brother Zhang, how did you know that the Black Tortoise of Huashan appeared? The fastest information may only reach Wudang now, right?"
Zhang Sanfeng looked solemn,"The appearance of the Black Tortoise caused a slight change in the world. I also felt it in my heart. I'm afraid that people at the same level as me are all like this."
