My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 219: Visage Of The Saint

“Ah, father, isn’t it not good for you to say these words?”

“Especially in front of me...”

Li Tongzhou stared at his father in front of him with his mouth agape. For a moment, he was very surprised.

On the contrary, it was Prime Minister Li Jiqing who looked at Li Tongzhou as if it was a matter of course.

“What do you understand? Your father’s trick is the reason why I have been able to survive in the officialdom for so many years, and I am even managing to survive like a fish in water.”

Looking at his father’s disgusted gaze, Li Tongzhou’s heart was also filled with disgust.

It’s precisely because of you black-hearted fellows that I don’t have the slightest interest in matters in the officialdom of the Yan Shen Empire!

“Alright, son, you can go back first. Father will think about this matter today and head to the palace in the afternoon to face the Yan Shen Saint directly. After that, the orders will be sent to the deputy of the Supreme Court, Chen Younian.”

“Around tomorrow morning, the Fang Yuan that you mentioned will be released from the Supreme Court. When the time comes, you can bring your little friends to welcome him.”

Prime Minister Li Jiqing’s expression was calm. He sat on the spot and started thinking, and he waved his hand at Li Tongzhou and pointed at the door.

“Oh right, father, you continue thinking here, I will go back and tell my friends about the matter of finding the members of the Moon Worship Sect, and also pass this good news to the Gu Immortal Sect. They will be happy!”

Li Tongzhou also had his own plans, and he spoke to Prime Minister Li Jiqing before leaving the imperial palace.

At this time, Gu Tianqing, Qin Han, Zhou Chang and the others were still in the Gu Immortal Sect’s residence. They were like ants on a hot pan, walking around anxiously. They wanted to contribute to the matter of Fang Yuan getting out of prison. They wanted to contribute their own strength.

Unfortunately, they were good at fighting, but they were useless in such scheming Imperial Court matters!

Gu Tianqing wanted to push the people in the clan to complete this matter, but after returning to the Gu clan, he was told that the clan’s patriarch and the others had other matters to attend. Tthey had already gathered in the relevant organizations of the Yan Shen Empire.

Not long after, Li Tongzhou sent a servant to the Gu Immortal Sect’s headquarters. He sent a secret letter and left quietly.

And this letter, as expected, came before the Gu Immortal Sect disciples.

Gu Tianqing, Qin Han, Zhou Chang, Ruan Qinghe, Gu Yuange, Bing Ning, Yao Guang and the others read the letter carefully after opening it, and only then did they relax.

“No wonder Fang Yuan was so confident when he was arrested!”

“So he had already thought of a way out. I never thought that Fang Yuan would be able to find a big backer like Li Tongzhou in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire.”

Qin Han said in surprise.

At this moment, Zhou Chang added at the same time.

“Don’t look at this Li Tongzhou’s identity as ordinary. As far as I know, his father is the current prime minister in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire. He lives in the imperial palace nine out of ten days.”

“He has spent his entire life worrying for the Yan Shen Empire. Moreover, it is said that because of this matter, his son’s relationship with him is on the verge of breaking. I didn’t expect that this time, Li Tongzhou would be able to stand up for Fang Yuan and plead with the current prime minister.”

“What? There’s actually such a thing?”

Gu Tianqing was even more shocked than Qin Han as he looked at Zhou Chang and said.

After all, unlike others, the Gu family itself had a large number of businesses and arrangements in the capital, so it was very common to have a good graspon the relationships between the various official families in the capital.

And according to what he knew, ever since Prime Minister Li Jiqing took office, he had almost never done anything illegal. Even in private, his reputation was extremely good, and he had repeatedly, for the benefit of the people, went against government officials.

In the Yan Shen Saint’s eyes, he was a reliable person in name.

To think that this time, Li Tongzhou could actually persuade Prime Minister Li Jiqing to help Fang Yuan.

This was probably the reason why Fang Yuan could become the personal disciple of the Gu Immortal Sect’s sect master!

Gu Tianqing and the others could only smile bitterly as they looked at each other, shaking their heads. They did not understand when Fang Yuan had gotten in touch with Li Tongzhou, and even persuaded him to give up so much for them.

Just as the capital of the Yan Shen Empire was in turmoil, in the Imperial Palace, Prime Minister Li Jiqing walked out of his office and headed straight for the imperial study that the Yan Shen Saint was currently in.

At the same time, he was already dressed in official robes and held a letter in his hand.

Looking at the marks on the letter that had just been sealed and the bright red ink, it was not difficult to know that this was a piece of evidence that had just been processed by Prime Minister Li Jiqing that pointed directly at the Zhang clan, one of the four great clans in the capital.

“Reporting! Reporting to the emperor, Prime Minister Li Jiqing requests an audience.”

A eunuch’s sharp announcement entered the imperial study.

The Yan Shen Saint, who was reading the imperial edict, suddenly raised his head and looked curiously outside the door, muttering to himself.

“Prime Minister Li Jiqing? Why is he looking for me at this time?”

However, Prime Minister Li Jiqing had always been an upright person and sympathized with the people. Perhaps there was something important for him to request an audience at this time?

Then, he said to the door.

“Invite Prime Minister Li Jiqing in!”

“Yes! As you command!”

The sound of a reply came from outside the door.

Then, Prime Minister Li Jiqing pushed open the door and entered with his many pieces of evidence, arriving in front of the Yan Shen Saint.

“Reporting to the Yan Shen Saint! This humble subject has recently found a large batch of evidence pointing directly at the Zhang clan in the capital. I feel that I am unable to make the decision, so I have come to apply for the emperor’s verdict!”

Prime Minister Li Jiqing raised the letter in his hand high above his head. At the same time, he kneeled down and spoke without waiting for the Yan Shen Saint to ask.

At this time, the Yan Shen Saint, who was on the high platform, spoke with some curiosity.

“Oh, what kind of a matter is there that even Prime Minister Li Jiqing is unable to make a verdict? Bring the evidence up for me to see!”

The young eunuch who had been waiting for the order of the Yan Shen Saint immediately took action.

He ran all the way to the front of Prime Minister Li Jiqing below the stage. Then, he put the letter on a tray made of mahogany. Then, he handed it over to the Yan Shen Saint.

The Yan Shen Saint immediately picked up the letter and opened it to read. His face, which was originally as warm as the spring breeze, suddenly turned dark.

There was a hint of anger on his face. The anger slid down from the corner of his mouth and turned into a gloomy expression on his face. Then, he frowned deeply and a few dents appeared on his forehead.

Finally, as the Yan Shen Saint gradually flipped through the letter and reached the back, all the anger on his face had completely disappeared. All that was left was a calm expression.

Finally, after he finished reading the letter, it was as if all the bones in his body had been extracted. He leaned back on the back of his chair and weakly lowered his hands as he spoke.

“It seems that this Zhang clan has really lived long enough. Since they have already done something that goes against our Yan Shen Empire, we have to completely eliminate them.”

“Prime Minister Li Jiqing, you will be in charge of this matter. I will give you seven days to completely settle this matter!”

“Not only do we have to let this Zhang clan head die without a burial ground, we also have to make sure that the Zhang clan will never be able to rise again!”

“At the same time, we also have to show all the sects and forces in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital who have come to participate in the Gu Dao Convention what will happen to anyone who dares to betray our Yan Shen Empire!”

“This time, I want to set an example using the Zhang clan in the capital. I want to show all the forces and sects of the Yan Shen Empire and the forces from the other empires!”

“I want to show them that I, the Yan Shen Saint, am not someone to be bullied!”

When the Yan Shen Saint said these words, his tone was calm. His expression did not change and his eyes were closed.

Prime Minister Li Jiqing remained motionless under the study table. He did not even raise his head. When the Yan Shen Saint finally finished speaking, Prime Minister Li Jiqing immediately replied.

“Your humble subject receives the imperial edict.” Then, Prime Minister Li Jiqing continued.

“Your humble subject takes his leave.”
