Chapter 52

When the morning sun rose, Ji Tianxing finished his practice and walked out of the secret room.

After a night of training, his strength has improved by 30%, and the strength of the sword tire is even stronger.

He took a shower and started to eat breakfast.

At this time, a young guard quickly walked into the Qingfeng courtyard, and came out of the room and said respectfully: "Eldest young master, the master has sent a message for you to go to the study."

Ji Tianxing put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised his brows, and thought to himself, "Father is looking for me? Could it be that there is a result of that incident?"

He quickly walked out of the room and hurried to the study where his father lived.

When he saw his father, Ji Changkong was busy in the study with a solemn and focused expression.

Seeing Ji Tianxing coming, Ji Changkong put down the account scroll in his hand, and rubbed his brows tiredly.

"Tianxing, come here quickly, because father has something to tell you." Ji Changkong beckoned to him with a solemn expression.

Ji Tianxing hurriedly walked to his father's side, glanced at the books on the table, and knew what he knew.

"Father, is there something about the Dongjiao workshop?"

"Yeah." Ji Changkong nodded with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice, "I have checked the accounts of the Dongjiao workshop, and there is no record of the batch of goods that Xu Zifeng traded in Taiye Town, and neither the workshop owner nor Ji Ru. The hand of the wind."

Ji Tianxing had expected this for a long time, so he was not surprised, and asked, "Father, have you investigated the second uncle? Did he instigate this matter?"

Ji Changkong raised his brows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I'm asking Jianyingtang to investigate him secretly. For the time being, I can't confront him, the time has not yet come."

"But I'm 80% sure that this matter must be instigated by him. In the past ten years, his ambitions have become bigger and bigger, he has done a lot of actions in secret, and now he is more and more daring."

Ji Tianxing asked again: "Father, have you found out who the person who traded with Xu Zifeng is?"

"The middle-aged man in the lead has a horse face with distinctive features."

Speaking of this issue, Ji Changkong was silent for a while.

He seemed hesitant to tell Ji Tianxing the result.

After thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said the result.

"Tianxing, Jianyingtang has found out. The person who traded with Xu Zifeng is one of the diners of Lingyan Palace."

"The diners of Lingyan Palace?" Ji Tianxing's pupils suddenly shrank, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Is it the master that the little prince has surrounded by the door?"

The diners are the guests, they are talented people who are taken in by the rich and powerful, and they work hard for their masters.

Ji Ling, the little prince, is a man from all over the world, and he is also a corporal, so he has won many masters and talents to work for him.

Ji Tianxing never thought that the person who secretly traded with Xu Zifeng and bought the Ji family's Xuanbing sword turned out to be him!

He frowned and asked Ji Changkong suspiciously: "Father, the little prince has bought a lot of Xuanbing swords from our Ji family over the years."

"It stands to reason that the officials and generals of the Luo and Yan states are basically fully equipped. Even if he wants to replenish the weapons for the generals, he can go to the official account, why should he secretly trade?"

Ji Changkong shook his head, and said solemnly: "The official transaction is still the same as before. It has been inspected and reviewed by the royal family, and there is no problem."

"But the little prince bought the sword of Xuanbing, not for the generals of Luo Yan and the two states, but for his own private use."

"Tianxing, there's something my father didn't tell you. Three years ago, the little prince approached me privately and wanted to buy a large number of Xuan-level weapons from the Ji family at a low price. The purpose is unknown."

"This matter is of great importance. If the royal family is accidentally noticed, they will be charged with treason, so my father categorically refused."

"My father thought that he had given up this idea, but I didn't expect that he secretly colluded with Ji Rufeng and made a private deal... It seems that this person has a lot of ambitions, I'm afraid he has other plans!"

Ji Tianxing became more and more shocked. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "So it is!"

"Little Prince Ji Ling's surface is kind and virtuous, but I didn't expect the city to be so deep!"

"Father, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, when the unforeseen incident happens, I am afraid that the Ji family will also be implicated and cause a catastrophe!"

Ji Changkong nodded in agreement: "I understand that for my father, I am asking the swordsmen of the Sword Shadow Hall to investigate this matter with all their strength, and we must find out the truth!"

Ji Tianxing trusted his father and Jianyingtang very much, so he nodded and said nothing.

At this time, a middle-aged guard suddenly rushed to the outside of the study and reported anxiously: "Master, something is bad!"

"The head of the Ling family, Ling Sihai, brought a lot of masters and blocked the gate of our Ji residence!"

Ji Changkong and Ji Tianxing changed their faces at the same time, looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

Ji Tianxing frowned and thought to himself, "Could it be that Ling Yunfei was abolished by me, and Ling Sihai came to the mansion to seek revenge in a rage?"

"But it shouldn't be! No matter how angry Ling Sihai is, he won't kill the Ji family because of it, right?"

Ji Changkong also frowned, and asked the guard in a deep voice, "What's going on? What does the Ling family want to do? Are you going to war with the Ji family?"

The middle-aged guard hurriedly replied, "Master, Ling Sihai said that you must hand over the eldest young master today, and let the eldest young master pay for his debts and blood, and pay for Ling Yunfei's life!"

"Master, come and have a look! Ling Sihai brought eight masters, and even said that if you don't show up, he will bring people into the mansion!"

Hearing this, Ji Tianxing and Ji Changkong changed their faces at the same time, and exclaimed, "Ling Yunfei is dead?"

"She actually died?"

Ji Tianxing frowned fiercely, his face became gloomy as ice, and thick doubts flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself: "Impossible! Last night I only disabled Ling Yunfei's skill, and she was rescued. With her injuries at the time, she would never die!"

"What's more, Ling Yunfei carries a healing medicine pill with her, and the Ling family is a family of medicine pills, so she will never die."

"Someone must have killed her and deliberately put the blame on me!"

Of course Ji Changkong knew that there was something strange about this matter.

When he saw Ji Tianxing's strange expression, he asked, "Tianxing, do you know what's going on?"

Ji Tianxing didn't hide it, and said truthfully, "Father, I asked Ling Yunfei to meet at Meiyuan in the western suburbs last night, and I had a fight with her, destroying her dantian, and crippling her skill."

"However, just when I was about to kill her, she was rescued by a man in black. With her injuries at the time, it was definitely not fatal."

A gleam of light flashed in Ji Changkong's eyes, and he even revealed a happy expression, "Great! Tianxing, as a father, I didn't expect your strength to recover so quickly!"

"Then Ling Yunfei has the strength of the fifth realm of the real yuan, and you can actually defeat her and abolish her dantian!"

"Humph! It was she who made you lose your skills before, and suffered great humiliation. Don't say you abolished her dantian, even if you killed her with one sword, she deserved it!"

Ji Tianxing was silent and did not speak, but he muttered in his heart: "Father is really protective of me..."

"Ling Sihai brought people to the mansion, but my father is still happy for me to regain my strength."
