Three days later.
Lin Qiu had already returned to the capital with his men.
Wanwan looked at the bustling capital and said softly,""I didn't expect that the Great Ming Capital would be so prosperous, not the slightest bit inferior to the Great Sui Capital.”
"I'll bring you out for a walk tonight." Lin Qiu said calmly.
"Alright, Sir, you said so yourself.”Wanwan asked.
Now that Wan Wan had broken through to the peak of the Xiantian Realm, she was just one step away from becoming a peerless expert.
Wanwan's combat ability was also very strong.
The capital was surging with wind and clouds, and there were many factions.
Although Lin Qiu had 3,000 Immortal Embroidered Uniform Guards, his cultivation was only at the intermediate level of the Xiantian Realm.
Moreover, there was such a beautiful woman beside him.
Naturally, it was very comfortable.
In any case, Wanwan had something to do.
It was fine, so he naturally played games with Wanwan to cultivate his character.
Ever since Wan Wan swallowed the pill Lin Qiu gave her and successfully broke through to the late stage of the Xiantian realm, Wan Wan had made up her mind to follow Lin Qiu.
Although Lin Qiu wasn't very strong now.
He didn't have much power either.
Their forces could not compare to other forces.
However, she believed that the man she and her master had taken a fancy to would definitely soar to the sky in no time.
It was only a matter of time.
Soon, Lin Qiu returned to a courtyard house in the capital.
This courtyard house occupied more than ten acres of land. It was very large, spacious, and luxurious.
As a Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his official position was not low in the capital. After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guards was a powerful organization. Even many third and fourth-rank officials had to give face to the Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Therefore, it was normal for the Embroidered Uniform Guards to own a courtyard house.
Of course, Lin Qiu's courtyard house was several times larger than the courtyard houses of other Embroidered Uniform Guards, and it was also much more luxurious. That was because Lin Qiu had made the greatest contribution among the twelve hundred households of the South Town's Fu Department.
Many things that a hundred or even a thousand households couldn't handle, Lin Qiu could do it himself.
For example, three months ago, a thief stole the luminous pearl from the palace. The Nanbei Garrison couldn't catch him, but he was caught by Lin Qiushe when he was in the position of the chief flag officer.
Another example was that he had made another contribution in Luoyang this time.
Wanwan stayed in Lin Qiu's mansion while Lin Qiu went to the hall of the South Town Administrative Office.
At this moment, Duan Jin, the governor of South Town, saw that Lin Qiu had returned.
He immediately put down the brush in his hand and went out to welcome Lin Qiu.
"Lin Qiu, you're finally back. Hahahaha, you've done another meritorious deed.”
This Duan Jin was Lin Qiu's superior, and also the head of the Brocade Guard's South Town Office.
Logically speaking, the Brocade Guard's South Town Secretary, Duan Jin, should be under Lu Wenzhao's control.
Lu Wenzhao was the commander after all.
However, Duan Jin was once Emperor Zhu Houzhao's personal guard, so only Zhu Houzhao could command the troops of South Town's Secretary of State.
Lu Wenzhao could only manage the North Town Office.
"This is what I should do." Lin Qiu said calmly.
"Thank you, sir." Lin Qiu said calmly.
Lin Qiu naturally knew that Duan Jin was the Emperor's man. Now that there were many forces in the Imperial City, Zhu Houzhao felt like he was being manipulated.
Duan Jin saw that he was outstanding and naturally wanted to quickly rope him in.
It was good for Lin Qiu to be promoted to a thousand-household. A thousand-household would have more power and freedom.
At that time, he could go and suppress some sects and increase his strength.
Even though his cultivation base was improving very quickly, he was not in a hurry. He would take it one step at a time.
At night.
Lin Qiu brought Wanwan around the capital.
Wanwan was also extremely happy.
However, at this moment, Duan Jin, the governor of South Town, was about to go back after finishing his business. However, he was killed on the way.
It caused a huge uproar in the entire Imperial City.
At this moment, Lin Qiu had also heard the news of Duan Jin's death.
He could only sigh.
Duan Jin treated him fairly well, but he was still killed.
This was enough to show that in the Imperial City, not only did one have to have power, but one also had to have a powerful cultivation.
Duan Jin's cultivation base was average and could be considered as a first-class realm.
In the entire Imperial City, first-rate cultivators were like ants.
"This Imperial City is indeed turbulent. Lord Lin, your superior has been killed. What should we do now?”Wanwan asked.
"There's no hurry, we'll wait and see. If I'm not wrong, the emperor will appoint little brother Duan Jin as the new emperor.”Lin Qiu said.
At this moment, in the royal study.
Zhu Houzhao was furious.
Duan Jin was his subordinate.
Killing Duan Jin was basically slapping him in the face.
However, he had no choice.
Although he was the emperor, ever since he succeeded to the throne, his imperial power had been reduced step by step.
This was because many of his imperial uncles were eyeing his position covetously.
He was very young and did not have many trusted aides. How could he be a match for his imperial uncles?
His imperial uncles had long won over a group of forces in the capital or the world of martial arts.
For example, one of his uncles, known as the Iron Egg Divine Monkey, had established the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
There were countless experts in the villa.
In Great Ming and the Nine Prefectures, they were all famous.
However?
They didn't listen to his commands at all.
To put it bluntly.
He could only survive in the cracks now.
Duan Jin was his trusted aide.
Now, even his trusted aide had been killed.
The old eunuch next to Zhu Houzhao sighed," Your Majesty, it seems that many forces in the Imperial City are restless. The Brocade Guard is divided into two. On one side is the Northern Town Secretary, who listens to Lu Wenzhao, and on the other side is the Southern Town Secretary, Duan Jin. Lord Duan is someone the Emperor has trained.”
Zhu Houzhao was furious." Little Lu Wenzhao, a commander of the Brocade Guard dares to touch my people. How dare you! Kill him!"”
The old eunuch shook his head." Your Majesty, this Lu Wenzhao is a little close to Wei Zhongxian of the West Hall.”
Zhu Houzhao calmed his anger." I see. What should we do now?"”
"Let little brother Duan Jin be the South Town Secretary. This person's ability is not bad and he is also very loyal to the emperor.”
"Alright, give the order to let Brother Duan Jin become the South Town Governor.”
However…
When Duan Jin's younger brother took over the post of South Town's Secretary of State.
He was killed again.
Moreover, the mysterious person had shot an arrow in the hall of the South Town's Ministry of Justice.
The arrow said that if anyone became the governor of South Town.
He would kill his entire family.
In an instant, everyone in the South Town Administrative Office was in a state of panic. Some of the thousand households had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, but after receiving the threat of a mysterious expert, they all gave up on the idea.
After all, no one wanted to have money but no life to spend it.
