Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 335
Chapter 335 Qishi Prefecture Meets an Old Man
Jingshan Road in Yanjing should be one of the most famous roads in Yanjing, because from the west corner of Jingshan Qianjie to the east corner, on the left is the famous Jingshan Park in Yanjing, and on the right is the more famous ancient imperial palace.
Perhaps it was precisely because these two places were too famous that few people in the original Iron Hat Prince’s Mansion knew about them at the end of Jingshan Qianjie.
Of course, this was also because the government deliberately didn’t publicize this palace. As well as the original owner of this palace, he had never done anything in history that could affect the course of history like Dai Shan or Dorgon.
After the founding of New China, the palaces left behind by the Qing Dynasty would generally be used for two purposes.
One is to become a national key cultural protection unit, the other is to be transformed into a school, a government, a hospital, and so on …
However, this palace was different from the two methods mentioned above. First, it has not been classified as a national key cultural unit for protection, and second, it has not been listed as a government unit.
If someone with the heart was paying attention to it, they would notice that there were actually many people entering and leaving the palace.
Of course, if you knew what this was, you wouldn’t find it strange.
Because!
This was the Qishi Manor.
Sima Chunfeng was entrusted by Elder Jun to send Jiang Feng to the Qishi Manor to report. Because he had suffered from Jiang Feng earlier, Sima Chunfeng insisted on not saying a word to Jiang Feng along the way.
Jiang Feng had also tried to tease Sima Chunfeng, but this fellow and Xiao Ding’s personalities seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and they were also wooden.
Making up his mind not to talk to Jiang Feng meant not to talk to him. No matter what Jiang Feng said, he would not answer.
After arriving at the entrance of the Qishi Manor, Sima Chunfeng looked up at a plaque on the top of the door that did not have any words written on it.
He didn’t know if there was a camera hidden inside the plaque, but after Sima Chunfeng glanced at it like that, the door to the Qishi Manor immediately opened.
There was no one behind the gate.
Logically speaking, such a mansion should have seen a huge playground and the front courtyard of the mansion after opening its doors.
However, Jiang Feng didn’t see anything. There was actually a road behind the gate. The traffic on the road flowed endlessly, no different from an ordinary street view.
“Woof woof woof …”
Goudan’er, who was in Jiang Feng’s hand, barked at the entrance of Qishi Manor a few times. Liu Xianyun whispered to Jiang Feng, “Master, there is an illusion formation inside.”
“Mm, Goudan’er can also tell.”
Sima Chunfeng glanced at Goudan’er in Jiang Feng’s hand and led the way into Qishi Manor.
Jiang Feng also brought Little Q, Goudan’er, and Liu Xianyun, who was invisible to ordinary people, over the gate of the Qishi Manor.
The moment they all stepped through the gate, there was only a “bang”. The door closed automatically.
A voice came from the front, “Chun Feng, long time no see, why are you free to come here today?”
As he finished speaking, the space suddenly trembled. Streaks of water rippled out, and then the streets, cars, and pedestrians all disappeared.
The scenery in front of him immediately transformed into four gates.
The door was built in the style of an ancient pavilion and was shaped like a stone arch. Each door consisted of four large stone pillars, forming one large, two small, and three small doors. Each stone pillar was carved with a five-clawed divine dragon coiling around it, with an auspicious cloud pattern on the top. The entire pillar looked like the legendary South Heaven Gate.
At the top of the four gates were written the words “Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.” From the looks of it, entering through different gates should lead to different branches of the Qishi Manor.
Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze from the four gates and landed on the old man who greeted Sima Chunfeng.
Sima Chunfeng, who had remained silent all along the way, turned around and introduced Jiang Feng.
“This is Uncle Long, the butler of the Qishi Manor.”
“Uncle Long, his name is Jiang Feng. He is one of the candidates for the position of Minister of the Profound Division.”
After listening to Sima Chunfeng’s introduction, Jiang Feng immediately bowed slightly to Uncle Long. “Hello, Uncle Long. Please take care of him in the future.”
“Mr. Jiang is too polite.”
As Uncle Long spoke, he took out a white stone from his cloth bag and handed it to Jiang Feng.
“This is the Little Cosmos Stone. Mr. Jiang should be very clear about its specific function. Please put your right hand on it.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Feng nodded and put his right hand on it.
This Little Cosmos Stone has the function of distinguishing between a person’s appearance and his aura. If Jiang Feng’s guess was correct, there should also be a small Cosmos Stone behind the plaque on the gate of the Qishi Mansion.
This little Cosmos Stone was divided into one Yin and one Yang, and only one of them needed to record the other’s appearance and aura, and the other could sense it when approaching this person.
The Qishi Manor should be using this method to determine whether the person who wanted to enter the Qishi Manor was a member of the Qishi Manor.
“Alright, Mr. Jiang, please come in.”
After the Little Cosmos Stone recorded Jiang Feng’s appearance and aura, Uncle Long pointed to the entrance of the Xuan Tribe’s main gate.
Jiang Feng nodded and looked at Sima Chunfeng.
Only after Sima Chunfeng took the lead did Jiang Feng bring Goudan’er, Little Q, and Liu Xianyun in.
As expected, the entrance to the Profound Division was actually the entrance to an illusion array.
As soon as Jiang Feng crossed the door, he stood on a huge playground. In the middle of the playground, there seemed to be a martial arts arena. The entire arena was nearly a meter taller than the playground.
Behind the playground was a hall. At this moment, many people were walking in and out of the hall. Some were alone, some were discussing something in groups of three or five.
Jiang Feng’s ears were sharp as he heard them say, “Isn’t the reward for this mission too low? That South Sea Water Monster should be the descendant of the two-winged sea dragon killed by the young island master of Piaomiao Island. Fighting against that thing in the sea is very dangerous. It’s actually only worth a hundred Yuan Force spirit stones. In the past, there was at least a yellow-ranked medium-grade magical artifact for such a mission, right?”
“Sigh, what can we do? Who told us that the Profound Division has no leaders now? The spirit stones used to issue these missions are all the remaining resources of the Profound Division. However, I guess our Profound Division’s resources are almost empty. I hope that the newly appointed Profound Division Chief can lead our Profound Division to revitalize.”
Jiang Feng listened to the two of them and watched them leave thoughtfully.
Sima Chunfeng, who was standing at the side, introduced, “Actually, the daily work of the Minister of the Profound Department of the Qishi Manor is very simple, roughly divided into four points.
First, the country would transmit the spiritual events gathered by the various intelligence departments to the four departments of the Qishi Manor. After the four ministers investigated the matter clearly, they could publish the mission and the rewards for completing the mission on the mission list, allowing the members of the manor to come and receive the mission.
The second was to capture Warlocks who had used magical techniques to commit evil deeds, as well as demons and ghosts.
Third, recruit potential Warlocks into the Qishi Manor.
“Fourth, to settle the disputes between the members of the Qishi Manor and the sects.”
“Holy shit! Why did I hear you say that? Why do I feel like this minister is a bitch who doesn’t have any benefits just from being an official?”
“Serving the people of our country is a very honorable thing. How vulgar is it to think about benefits?”
Sima Chunfeng said these words righteously and immediately met Jiang Feng’s gaze as if he was looking at an idiot.
This wasn’t even considered, because Goudan’er was actually lying on the ground, rolling around laughing loudly.
You have your own dog.
Sima Chunfeng secretly sighed in his heart, and then said, “There is another matter in the Qishi Manor. I wonder if this is the benefit you mentioned.”
“What is it? Tell me.” Jiang Feng asked with great interest.
“Theoretically speaking, the Qishi Manor is the only official Warlock organization recognized by China. In other words, theoretically, all Warlocks and sects in China should be under the management of the Qishi Manor. However …”
“However, the ministers of the Qishi Manor used to be rather ordinary, so they couldn’t control those sects and Warlocks at all, could they?”
“Yes.” Even though Sima Chunfeng was reluctant, he still had to admit that this was the truth.
“The only official Warlock organization recognized by China … Mm, this head sounds interesting.”
Jiang Feng patted Sima Chunfeng’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Let’s go, bring me in and take a look. Tell me the people from the Profound Division that Chief Jiang has come, and they will definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food with me in the future.”
Sima Chunfeng’s shoulders trembled as he shook Jiang Feng’s hand off his shoulder.
He brought Jiang Feng into the hall where the Profound Division received the mission. As soon as Jiang Feng entered, his gaze was immediately attracted by a person’s background.
“Shanshan, I’ve been wanting to eat a meal recently. I won’t kill anymore. Do you think so?”
“What does your meal have to do with me?”
“It’s none of your business. Why don’t you just say it?”
“Good, good, good, good.”
“Then I’ve decided to help the old lady cross the road every day from today onwards. Do you think so?”
“Alright, alright, alright. However, be careful and help him to blackmail others.”
“That’s great, Shanshan. You’re really as kind as me. I’ve decided to do a good deed every day from today onwards, don’t you think?”
“Good, good, good, good. You’re so wicked with your mouth, you should do it every day … Hmm? Lu Chuxue, you … you bastard!”
The staff member in charge of registering for the mission and delivering the mission immediately stood up. Her face was flushed red with anger and she glared at Lu Chuxue with a face full of resentment.
That’s right, Lu Chuxue! It was Lu Chuxue!
Jiang Feng hadn’t seen Lu Chuxue since coming out of King Zhou’s tomb. He hadn’t expected to meet him at Qishi Manor today.
This fellow’s appearance was still the same as that diaosi from back then.
A middle haircut that resembled a ghost traitor, a pair of brown plaid knickers and a wrinkled suit, the entire image looked as good as a dick.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but ask Sima Chunfeng in a low voice when he heard the conversation between Lu Chuxue and the female staff member. “Chun Feng, why would that woman be angry when that guy said’do good deeds every day ‘?”
Sima Chunfeng looked down on Lu Chuxue and replied unhappily, “Because that woman’s name is Xing Yishan.”
