"Master Chu!" Shi Liang looked at Chu Ci, with pleading eyes, "Please save my sister!"

"Be sure to change my sister back!"

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I have no idea about this, but I will try my best to save your sister."

"Before that, you must take good care of your sister's body and let her persevere!"

Shi Liang raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I know!"

Chu Ci got up and patted Shi Liang on the shoulder, and said, "Go in and see your sister."

"Ah."

Shi Liang walked into the house with a heavy heart.

Standing in the small courtyard, Chu Ci said to Li Chongming, "Guard Li, their safety is in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Li Chongming cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chu, don't worry!"

"Li will definitely protect them well!"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and left Commoner Lane with Leng Ruxue, and returned to Moonwatching Tower.

Back at Moon Tower, Chu Ci saw the drunk Taoist sitting at a desk, drinking by himself.

"Master, are you back?"

The drunk Taoist looked at Chu Ci, waved his hand and said, "I'm back."

"After walking for a day, I am exhausted and poor!"

Chu Ci sat down next to the drunk Taoist, asked him about the alcohol smell on his body, and said, "The Taoist priest drank a lot of good wine with Master Di?"

"hey-hey!"

The drunk Taoist chuckled when he heard the words, stroked his beard and said, "Lord Di really didn't say anything!"

"Pindao's wine and money are all covered by Mr. Di."

After finishing speaking, the drunken Taoist glanced at Chu Ci, "It's much more generous than you brat!"

Chu Ci chuckled, and asked, "Where is Mr. Di?"

The drunken Taoist pointed to the upstairs, and said, "Finish the files in the room."

"It's inconvenient for the poor to disturb him, so I came down to drink."

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, looked at the drunken Taoist and asked, "Master Taoist, do you understand the secret art of changing souls?"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and muttered, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it."

"But this kind of secret technique that can make people live another life is very evil, it's best not to use it!"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said, "I heard from Master Di that if you use the soul-changing secret technique once, you will consume the condensed essence of a hundred people's lives!"

"Be good!"

The drunken Taoist couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, "Exchanging the life of a hundred people for the life of one person is really evil!"

Chu Ci asked in a deep voice, "Does the Taoist priest know how to break this secret technique?"

The drunk Taoist shook his head and said, "How can this poor Taoist understand?"

After pondering for a moment, the drunk Taoist tentatively said, "Why don't you ask Your Majesty?"

"Perhaps His Majesty has something to do."

Chu Ci nodded.

"Daoist, please drink first, I will go to see Mr. Di."

Chu Ci stood up and went upstairs.

Benedict!Benedict!Benedict!

Chu Ci knocked on Di Gongming's door.

"Come in!"

In the room, Di Gongming's voice came out.

squeak-

Chu Ci pushed the door open and walked in.

Di Gongming is currently buried in front of the desk, sorting out a thick stack of files.

"Master Chu, you are here, sit down quickly!"

Di Gongming greeted Chu Ci to sit down.

"Would you like some tea?"

Di Gongming poured Chuci a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you."

Chu Ci took the teacup, looked at Di Gongming and asked, "How is Master Di's harvest today?"

"Ugh!"

Di Gongming sighed softly and said, "Shocking, it's terrifying to think about!"

Looking at Chu Ci, Di Gongming said with a heavy tone, "Master Chu, this Xiancheng is probably the second Xianzhu country!"

Chu Ci frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "What's going on?"

Di Gongming pointed to the dossier on the case table and said, "This is the information I obtained through investigation by the people in the dark hall. Master Chu may as well take a look."

Chu Ci took the file and flipped through it.

After the cup of tea, Chu Ci put down the file with a solemn expression.

Although it was expected that many people in Xiancheng would be replaced, Chu Ci did not expect that there would be so many people!

There are more than a hundred officials, large and small, in Xiancheng, plus the influential rich and powerful gentry, there are hundreds of people!

Among these people's mansions, ninety percent of them employed the adherents of Xianzhu Kingdom!

According to the information obtained from the investigation, these people have behaved abnormally in the past five years!

This means that they have most likely been replaced!

"There are so many people?"

A look of surprise appeared in Chu Ci's eyes.

Di Gongming nodded solemnly, "In addition, there are other local officials in the Southern Region who have bid for the right to employ the survivors of the Xianzhu Kingdom!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, "Master Di, what do you mean, not only Xiancheng, but also other local officials were replaced?"

Di Gongming nodded and said, "Very likely!"

There was a strange look in Chu Ci's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Combined with the many soldiers and horses hidden in Xiancheng, the intention of Xianwang today is clearly revealed!"

Di Gongming looked at Chu Ci and asked aloud, "Master Chu, what should we do next?"

"King Xian will definitely have nothing to fear if he does this!"

"If you and I want to stop King Xian, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty first, and see how His Majesty decides!"

Di Gongming nodded, stroked his beard and said, "That's fine, then please trouble Master Chu."

Chapter 468 Reporting to the Empress

After Chu Ci discussed with Di Gongming, he returned to the guest room with Leng Ruxue.

"Madam Yan hasn't come back yet?"

Chu Ci asked Leng Ruxue aloud.

"not yet."

Leng Ruxue shook her head slightly.

Chu Ci sat on the seat, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's contact Her Majesty the Empress first."

As he spoke, Chu Ci took out the jade tablet that the Empress had given him.

Holding the jade tablet with his fingers, Chu Ci injected a ray of Qi and blood inward.

next second!

The jade plaque shone with brilliant multicolored light.

hum!

The rays of the sun flickered, and a majestic and charming figure appeared in front of Chu Ci.

Empress of the Dragon Flame Empire!

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

Chu Ci looked at Her Majesty the Empress with a gentle smile.

Longyan Empire, Shengjing City.

At the beginning of the night, the empress did not go to bed to rest.

After the dragon case, the empress sat upright, holding a royal pen and reviewing the memorial in front of her.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

The female officer serving at the side looked at the time and couldn't help but whispered a reminder.

The empress paused for a moment with the imperial brush in her hand, and then closed the memorial in front of her.

"call···"

Putting down the imperial pen, the empress let out a soft breath.

Leaning back on the dragon chair, the empress stretched out her jade hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows.

How long has the master been away from Shengjing City?

The empress was slightly lost in thought.

The figure of Chu Ci could not help appearing in his mind.

Ever since Chuci left Shengjing City, the Empress went to bed very late.

Always dealing with government affairs, busy until late at night, and then drove back to Fengming Palace to rest.

"I don't know how the master is doing now?"

The empress looked at the deep night sky outside the palace, and thoughts of longing surged in her mind.

The female officer at the side saw that the empress looked different, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty?"

next second.

The empress's pair of phoenix eyes shone with colorful rays of light.

The master activated the jade token?

dangerous? !

The female emperor's delicate body tightened, and a majestic and vast atmosphere immediately permeated the hall.

"All out!"

A majestic voice came from the mouth of the empress.

All the female officials serving in the main hall responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a few breaths, all the female officials filed out of the hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, only the Empress was sitting upright, looking solemnly at the void in front of her.

The colorful rays of light shone in the phoenix eyes, and through the phantom condensed by the jade tablet, the empress once again saw the person whom she had missed for a long time.

"Owner!"
