"Alright, serve tea." Yuchi Xiang was also a straightforward person.

Yan Wenqing didn't know why he was invited to this place, but he had always been very cautious. It was impossible for him to thank those two for inviting so many dishes and wine.

Yan Wenqing took a sip of tea without saying anything.

"What is it? Young Master Yan has something on your mind? " The meticulous Yuchi Xiang noticed the restraint on Yan Wenqing's face and asked, undisguised. Back in the day, he had used a large saber to gallop across the battlefield and had a straightforward character. He poured a cup of wine into his mouth and poured a cup for himself as well.

"Lord Yuchi has been busy these past few days." Yan Wenqing said.

"That's right, this madman is rampant. Some officials of the court have all lost their lives innocently at home." Yuchi Xiang sighed.

These days, many officials of the imperial court and the local officials had lost their lives without a trace. After causing such a ruckus, many ministers of the imperial court panicked. These rioting assassins would all leave behind something after killing. The emperor handed over the murder case, which had caused so much panic in the imperial court, to Yuchi Xiang to investigate.

"I heard these killers leave something behind after killing someone?" Yan Wenqing asked doubtfully. He was only wondering why these people killed officials and left things behind after they did. He couldn't be sure if that was true or not.

"This is the kind of thing that was left behind in the homes of every murdered official." Yuchi Xiang took out a cloth from his sleeve.

Yan Wenqing took over the cloth and carefully examined it, but he could not find out what the meaning of it was. There was a dragon drawn on the cloth, and only half of the dragon's body was revealed.

"They left this to tell His Majesty and the court ministers something." Yuchi Xiang said worriedly. Suddenly, he couldn't help but recall that incident from twenty years ago.

"Tell His Majesty and the ministers of the imperial court?" Yan Wenqing still didn't understand.

Yuchi Xiang was able to recognize the meaning drawn on the cloth. He said leisurely, "Twenty years ago, this was the banner used by a group of bandits to cause trouble in this world."

"My lord, you are talking about the Heavenly Dragon Cult." Yan Wenqing was suddenly enlightened by Yuchi Xiang's reminder. Previously, he heard from Qinglian that after Li Li-An was kicked out of the palace, he had wreaked havoc in the world. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the dragon was drawn on the cloth.

"That's the Sky Dragon Cult." Yuchi Xiang sighed, "The Heavenly Dragon Cult has always been a thorn in the side of the imperial government. They haven't caused any trouble in recent years, and the flames have gradually disappeared as well. Who would have thought that they would be constantly cultivating." His tone was deep and depressing.

"But what does the Sky Dragon Cult mean by killing these officials?" Yan Wenqing asked.

"These officials are all officials of the Qing government and officials of the government. Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Cult is trying to get rid of these powerful supporters of the government and reduce the power of the current government?" Yuchi Xiang said.

Yan Wenqing carefully looked at the drawing in his hand, and said, "Kill those officials and leave behind this piece of cloth. The drawing on the cloth shows a dragon rising into the air from the rolling clouds, which means that the Heavenly Dragon Cult is going to rise into the sky and start a rebellion again."

"That's right, they left this to intimidate the imperial government." Yuchi Xiang said. The wrinkles on his forehead were filled with worry.

"Now, the imperial government has handed over the murder of these officials to the lord. Is it because the lord wants to exterminate the Sky Dragon Cult?" "I heard that General Yuchi galloped to the battlefield, killing countless enemies, and leaving behind a historical record in his efforts to protect the nation's territory. It seems that the imperial government still believes in you, and you are the only one who can defend the people of the world on the battlefield."

"I didn't expect that Young Master Yan would be so good at talking." Yuchi Xiang took a sip of wine and sighed. "I'm old now, and my bones are weak. If I couldn't do it back then, I'd be able to get peace and stability from the Four Seas Ascending Kingdom."

Yan Wenqing returned the cloth to Yuchi Xiang and said, "The imperial court is giving this old general a difficult problem."

Yuchi Xiang chuckled. "What is the problem that Young Master Yan is talking about?"

Yan Wenqing said, "I've heard that the Heavenly Dragon Cult is located at the top of the lake, surrounded by baths. At dusk, the setting sun looks like blood and the pool looks like a pool of blood. It's easy to defend the top of a lake, but difficult to attack yourself. "

Yuchi Xiang suddenly laughed and said, "That's right. I didn't expect that Young Master Yan would understand all this so well." With that, he took his own cup and touched Yan Wenqing's teacup. He naturally had green eyes for Yan Wenqing, and loved this young man.

"This junior has only heard of a few things." Yan Wenqing said humbly.

The pavilion was very lively. The bright and beautiful sunlight shone like silver light all over the pavilion's surroundings.

Yan Wenqing put down the cup in his hand and said: "Sir, there is still one more thing that I don't know if I should mention."

"Hey, speak." Yuchi Xiang said straightforwardly.

"If there was someone who wanted to snatch the jade horn of your beloved, I'm afraid this matter would not be over yet." Yan Wenqing said worriedly.

No one knew what exactly they were going to do with the jade horn. Everyone said that it was a thief who stole the two pieces of jade that were worth a lot in this world. However, the attentive Qing Lian didn't think that there was something strange about being killed for no reason even though she couldn't steal the jade horn.

Although everyone outside knew that there were two jade horns, no one knew that one was actually split into two, and the other was with Yuchi Yao, who was guarding the place, and no one knew the secret of the jade horn, so he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to steal the two. A thief was only trying to get its value.

"Now, everyone in the city knows that this Huai Yang Shen couldn't have died secretly at the end of Eastern Alley. A thief is just trying to get its value, everyone knows that my two children each have a unique and beautiful piece of jade." Yuchi Xiang said happily, "In the future, just be on your guard against this kind of thing. Yao Yao, this child, is also like that. A young lady's family has gone crazy everywhere."

The two of them started to happily drink again.

"Go and get the young lady." Yuchi Xiang said to the maid standing behind him. The maid replied.

Yan Wenqing naturally knew who this young lady was. Two days ago, he had begged Chen Feiyan to ask for butterfly silk from him, and hurriedly drew a silk for her. Yuchi Yao had been a pearl in the palm of the Yuchi clan since she was a child.
