"May I have a word with you?”
Jiang Changqing walked in front of the two of them and asked.
When she realized that it was Jiang Changqing standing in front of her, the girl's pretty face blushed and she shouted excitedly,"Jiang…"
"Little Red!"
Before the young girl could finish her words, the old man shouted at her, interrupting her.
Understanding the old man's gaze, the girl immediately covered her mouth and blinked her lively eyes, looking playful and cute.
"Young hero, please!"
The old man interrupted the young girl. He made a gesture of invitation and led Jiang Changqing in front.
Very quickly.
With the old man leading the way, Jiang Changqing arrived at their residence.
In a slightly shabby courtyard, Jiang Changqing and the old man sat opposite each other at an ancient stone table.
"Little Red, serve some tea."
The old man sat down and instructed the young girl.
"I'll go now."
The young girl responded and excitedly went to cut the tea.
She moved very quickly and cut the tea in a short while. She brought it to Jiang Changqing and said,"Young Master Jiang, please have some tea."
"Thank you, Miss Xiao Hong."
Jiang Changqing thanked them politely and smiled at the two old men,""It seems that you have recognized me. Then I will be straightforward and tell the two of you why I am here.”
"I'm looking for the two of you to inquire about the whereabouts of my fifth senior brother's only son, Zhang Wuji.”
After learning Jiang Changqing's intention, the old man frowned and fell silent for a moment before saying,"Young hero Jiang, your senior brother's only son, Zhang Wuji, is currently locked up in the imperial prison in the capital.”
"The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded. It is not an easy task to break into the dungeon to save someone.”
"In addition, the terrain of the Imperial Palace is complicated. If you barge in aimlessly, it will be very easy to alert the enemy.”
Hearing the old man's answer, Jiang Changqing nodded and said,""Senior, please guide me."
The old man considered Jiang Changqing's request for a moment before slapping his thigh and saying,""How about this, I'll take you to see someone. That old thing is very familiar with the palace and might have a way to help you. I hope he's still in the palace.”
"Xiao Hong, grandpa and young hero Jiang are going out for a while.”
The old man instructed his granddaughter and walked out of the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Changqing and the old man jumped over the roofs and quickly rushed to the Imperial Palace.
"What a powerful qinggong."
The old man was shocked when he realized that Jiang Changqing was as light as a swallow and his lightness skill was far above his.
Then, the two of them flew over the roofs one by one.
……
Half a day later.
In the imperial kitchen of the Imperial Palace.
Jiang Changqing followed the old man here.
Not long after arriving at the imperial kitchen, Jiang Changqing saw an old beggar lying leisurely on the beam.
This old beggar had white hair and a youthful face. He was full of energy and was obviously a martial arts expert.
"Nine-fingered God Beggar, Hong Qigong."
Jiang Changqing sized up the old beggar and recognized him when he realized that he was missing an index finger on his right hand.
When Jiang Changqing was sizing up Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong sat up and greeted the old man warmly,""Old Fraud, long time no see. Could it be that you're also craving for food and want to come here to satisfy your craving?”
"Eh? Who is this young hero? He looks dignified and handsome. Could he be your grandson-in-law?”
Hearing Hong Qigong's words, the old man hurriedly waved his hand and explained,""This is Young Swordsman Jiang Changqing, the last disciple of Wudang Sect's Perfected Zhang. I'm here to ask you for a favor.”
"Oh!"
After knowing Jiang Changqing's identity, Hong Qigong nodded in understanding. He sized Jiang Changqing up and said,"Young hero Jiang, what do you want me to do for you?”
Jiang Changqing also beat around the bush and went straight to the point,"My fifth senior brother's only son, Zhang Wuji, was kidnapped by the Mongolians half a month ago and is currently locked up in the Imperial Palace's prison.”
"Elder Sun Tianji said that you were familiar with the imperial palace, so he brought me here to ask you to show me the way.”
Upon hearing Jiang Changqing's words, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets 'expression changed. He looked at Jiang Changqing in surprise and said,"Do you know who I am?"
"Senior, didn't you recognize me at a glance?”
Jiang Changqing calmly asked in response to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets's surprise.
Jiang Changqing's answer shocked the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, and his gaze toward Jiang Changqing changed slightly.
He suddenly realized that the youth before him seemed to exude a mysterious and profound aura that he could not see through.
"I know the location of the imperial prison, but if you want to go in and save someone, there's no other way but to barge in.”
Knowing Jiang Changqing's goal, Hong Qigong did not keep him in suspense and directly explained the situation.
Seeing that Hong Qigong knew the location of the imperial prison, Jiang Changqing didn't want to waste any time and said,""If that's the case, then I'll ask Senior Hong to bring me to the imperial prison.”
Seeing that Jiang Changqing was about to barge into the imperial prison, Hong Qigong and Elder Tianji's expressions were shocked, frightening him.
Young people were reckless. They would only face things head-on.
After learning of Jiang Changqing's thoughts, Hong Qigong hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said,"Young hero Jiang, young people shouldn't be impulsive. You should use your brain to think of a way.”
"No matter how strong your cultivation is, if you can fight against a hundred alone, can you fight against thousands of troops?”
"Besides, what if they know that you want to save Zhang Wuji and use Zhang Wuji's life to threaten you?”
"This old beggar has an idea. Are you interested in hearing it?”
After hearing Hong Qigong's words, Jiang Changqing nodded and felt that what he said made sense. He said,"Senior, please give me some pointers."
Hong Qigong thought for a moment and said,"The person in charge of guarding the imperial prison is Chahantemur of Ruyang Prince's Mansion. He has a daughter called Minmintemur."”
"If you capture her and use her to exchange for Zhang Wuji, it will be easier and safer.”
"Although capturing a weak young girl is not considered open and aboveboard, it makes sense to give her a taste of her own medicine.”
After hearing Hong Qigong's words, Jiang Changqing thought for a moment and felt that this was a good idea.
Immediately, Jiang Changqing did not want to delay any longer and pleaded with Hong Qigong,""In that case, I'll have to trouble Senior to lead the way and bring me to Ruyang Palace.”
"Sure!"
Hong Qigong smiled and flew out of the imperial kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Changqing and the other two hurriedly followed closely behind and rushed towards Ruyang Mansion together.
