When the matter reached this conclusion, King De's purpose of staying in Luzhou City had been achieved. As for the details, he did not want to delay it any longer.

Qi Fu once told King De that the emperor was only letting him temporarily exercise the power of the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. But after all, it was only temporary. Sooner or later, King De would leave the position of Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Therefore, within a limited time,

King De must make more political achievements in order to accumulate political capital for himself.

And this matter now is his first.

A few days later, the official document came out, saying that Chi Zhongtian was to go to Rongzhou City to meet with the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi would arrange his future affairs.

After Chi Zhongtian received the news, he rushed to Rongzhou City without stopping without any followers.

...

"Master, a disciple reported that Chi Zhongtian has come to Rongzhou City."

I don't know how many days passed, but one day, Gu Aoyun, who was in Binlin Villa, received such news in his study.

"Is the news reliable?" Gu Aoyun asked.

"Absolutely reliable, Chi Zhongtian should have entered the city by now."

"How many people are here?"

"He's the only one."

When Gu Aoyun heard that Chi Zhongtian was the only one, he felt relieved.

Ever since the news came back that the Fuyu Holy Cult had been assassinated, Gu Aoyun had been worried about one thing, and that was whether Chi Zhongtian would associate this matter with him.

At first, he was so worried, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his worries were unfounded. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. He just made a bunch of people to keep an eye on Chi Zhongtian, and

It's impossible for Chi Zhongtian to come up with something from just such a few clues that even he may not be aware of before he notices them.

But for some reason, even though he had already thought so, when he heard that Chi Zhongtian had arrived today, he suddenly became nervous. When he heard that Chi Zhongtian came alone, he became nervous again.

Relaxed.

This kind of mood swing makes Gu Aoyun very uncomfortable, because it has vaguely shown that Gu Aoyun is a little afraid of Chi Zhongtian.

Perhaps even the word "some" can be removed.

"In this way, you keep an eye on him for me. No matter how much it costs, you must let me know his whereabouts at any time. Remember my words, no matter how much it costs, do you understand?" Gu Aoyun's tone was cold.

, but said with a very firm attitude.

"Master, my subordinates understand, don't worry!"

...

After Chi Zhongtian arrived in Rongzhou City, he didn't find a place to rest, and he didn't even think about going to Gu Aoyun's place, because on the surface, it seemed that Gu Aoyun had not caused him any trouble during this period, which was true.

Chi Zhongtian was quite satisfied.

Since there was something important, we couldn't delay, so after Chi Zhongtian entered the city, he rushed to the Governor's Mansion without stopping.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Palace is located in the south of Rongzhou City, and is in two different directions from the Rongzhou City Magistrate's Office. This also shows a wonderful relationship in the officialdom.

The Governor's Mansion was much larger than the Magistrate's Yamen. When Chi Zhongtian arrived, he revealed his identity and was immediately taken in by the guards.

When Chi Zhongtian stepped into the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he was stunned.

Because he clearly saw that the person sitting in the court with a swagger and a smile turned out to be King De.

At first he thought he didn't see clearly and rubbed his eyes, but later he found out that it was indeed King De.

"General Chi, you're fine!" King De said with a smile.

Chi Zhongtian stabilized his mind, and then replied with a smile: "I have met His Highness King De before. I really didn't expect to see His Highness here."

"Haha, General Chi may not know yet, but now I have come to take over the post of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi." After a pause, King De continued: "The focus is to investigate the murder of several officials in Luzhou City.

case."

In the last sentence, King De used a very weak but strange tone. He didn't know whether he specifically nodded at Chi Zhongtian, or he wanted to create a nervous atmosphere for Chi Zhongtian.

When Chi Zhongtian heard this, he was very surprised. He didn't expect that the dignified eldest son, His Highness King De, would be sent here to take over as the governor.

Thinking about what many people had said about King De before, Chi Zhongtian couldn't help but feel funny. King De was not aloof from the world, nor did he have good moral character, but he was very tolerant.

Such people are often terrible.

"Then I would like to congratulate Your Highness." Chi Zhongtian said politely.

"General Chi, you and I are both busy people. There is no need to say more polite words and greetings. General Chi, you must have received the imperial edict, so let's get straight to the point. I heard that you know how many people were killed.

Who is the real murderer of your Excellency? Is this possible?" King De asked.

"As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Governor, this is indeed the case." Chi Zhongtian replied calmly.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll tell you straight away, do you know where the murderers are now?" King De asked.

"I'm not sure where the real murderer is, but I know where their lair is." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Oh? Where?"

"Jinzhu Mountain." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Golden Bamboo Mountain?" King De muttered repeatedly, as if he had never heard of this place.

"Yes, it's Jinzhu Mountain." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Do you know where it is?" King De asked smoothly.

"Know."

"Well, we will set off tomorrow. The Governor will personally lead the Governor's Guards and the officers of the Governor's Yamen. Then you will lead the way, and you will also need to bring some people." King De said immediately.

Seeing that King De was so anxious, Chi Zhongtian also understood. It was probably because King De was eager to show off in front of the emperor. "Okay, everything will be at your discretion," Chi Zhongtian replied.

"In that case, let's do it. You can go back and rest first. We will set off early tomorrow morning," King De said.

"Sir Governor, can we pass by Luzhou City? I plan to have someone draw a portrait of the real murderer, and let the soldiers from the patrol camp in Luzhou City identify it to see if it is the real murderer. Then we will use the portrait to arrest the person.

"Chi Zhongtian suggested.

This is why Chi Zhongtian left a way out for himself. If this matter is his own opinion from beginning to end, once he succeeds, his contribution will be great, but if he fails, then all

The blame must be placed on him, so he must bring in some more people to share the responsibility with him.
