Chapter 1697: Seeing Master Yiyun Again at Prince Zunyi's Mansion
Jin'an didn't have to wait too long in Prince Zunyi's mansion before Prince Zunyi arrived.

There was the clanging sound of armor, mixed with hurried footsteps, and a group of guards escorted King Zun Yi into the mansion.

Behind these people were a group of servants and maids from the palace.

Years of military life and marching and fighting have made Prince Zunyi develop a calm character. Prince Zunyi walked into the palace with a calm aura and steady steps. His seemingly steady but not fast steps required the servants and maids in the palace to jog quickly to keep up with him.

This shows that King Zunyi has high attainments in martial arts.

In fact, Jin An had already realized, through observing King Zun Yi's lingering breath, that King Zun Yi's skills were rare and unmatched in the martial arts world.

King Zunyi was a great general who was both civil and military, capable of guarding the border and expanding the territory.

Beside King Zunyi was a handsome young man dressed as a scholar wielding a sword, and an old servant, who were none other than the old acquaintances Master Yiyun and Qi Bo.

Jin'an and Fatty Li were both surprised when they saw Master Yiyun and Qi Bo accompanying King Zunyi back.

It is understandable that Prince Zunyi is training his troops in the Firearm Camp outside the capital, but Master Yiyun and Qi Bo are also training together in the Firearm Camp?
It can be said that training troops is a duty and habit for Prince Zunyi. He can't rest idle in the prosperous capital city where he recites poems and writes essays. But now it seems that Master Yiyun is also very interested in the military art of strategizing and marching into battle.

Not to mention Fatty Li was surprised, even Jin An was surprised. This was the first time he discovered that Master Yiyun had new interests and hobbies.

It seems that he still doesn't know Master Yiyun well enough.

"Your Majesty, Princess Hanyun, Uncle Qi." Jin'an put down the tea in his hand, and stood up in his colorful Taoist robe, clasped his fists and bowed like a Taoist priest. There were many people in the palace, so he did not address her as Young Master Yiyun, with whom he had a personal relationship, but addressed her as Princess Hanyun.

He never relied on his superior fighting power and lost sight of the distinction between old and young generations.

King Zunyi is the elder.

Young Master Yiyun saved his life several times.

Even Qi Bo was not a servant or an old slave in his eyes, but an elder who could be trusted.

The three people in front of him all deserved to be treated with courtesy.

"It's only been a few days since we last saw each other. It's a great honor for Marquis Shenwu to come to the palace as a guest. Hahaha."

"This prince has always said that this deep mansion is too deserted. This prince is used to the life in the military camp and is not used to living in a palace. Thanks to the frequent visits of the Marquis of Shenwu, this deserted palace has become more human and lively."

King Zunyi walked into the hall with a big laugh, looking very pleased, and ordered people to serve new tea to replace the previous one.

It can be seen that King Zunyi is in a very good mood. As a general who is able to win battles thousands of miles away and plan strategies, King Zunyi is smarter than ordinary people. He naturally knows what Jinan's purpose of visiting the palace today is.

He had just handed over a case from more than ten years ago to Jin'an, and only two or three days had passed when Jin'an came to the palace again. It must be that the investigation of the case had made great progress.

The case from more than ten years ago has become a concern for many people. Now, someone has brought a "prescription" for the concern that has lasted for more than ten years. Even if you are the King Zunyi, you can't avoid some gaffes, so he didn't hesitate to praise him as soon as he met him.

In just a few days, our humble home has been blessed with glory. These words are not only a polite way of receiving guests, but also express King Zunyi's surprise, implying that Jin'an is the lucky star of the palace.

Master Yiyun and Qi Bo also greeted Jin An one after another, and then everyone took their seats.

Young Master Yiyun has not changed. He is still as handsome as always, dressed as a scholar, with a subtle fragrance of orchid.

Master Yiyun: "Master Jin'an looks good. Master Jin'an, did you encounter any good news? I wonder if you can share it with us?"

Master Yiyun's words carried a bit of double meaning, which made Jin'an take a closer look. It seemed that Master Yiyun was more eager to know the truth of the past ten years than King Zunyi. He came straight to the point and couldn't wait even for a moment, Jin'an thought in his heart.

Jin An said with a smile: "Princess Han Yun is really smart and foresighted. How did Princess Han Yun know that good things have happened to me recently?"

Master Yiyun chuckled softly, his eyes were bright and his teeth were white, and he smiled sweetly. He immediately changed his expression to a serious one and glared at Jin An: "You are so talkative."

This glare was delicate, charming, and yet pretending to be dignified. At this moment, anyone could see the coquettish and angry attitude of Master Yiyun, and could see that she had a close relationship with Jin'an.

Qi Bo nodded to Fatty Li in a friendly manner and pretended to look away, as if he didn't notice the worries of his young master.

At this time, the personal guards of the Zunyi Dynasty gave a wink, and as the maids served tea and snacks, everyone in the palace was cleared out.

In the palace with deep courtyards, there were only five people left: Jin'an, Fatty Li, Prince Zunyi, Master Yiyu, and Qi Bo. Even Prince Zunyi's personal guards had left the palace and were not allowed to stay.

When everyone else left, King Zunyi's expression immediately became extremely serious. He leaned slightly towards Jin'an, looking impatient and staring at Jin'an with burning eyes.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet, as if even the sounds of birds in the treetops of the flower beds outside had disappeared. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting for Jin An to speak.

Only Fatty Li couldn't adapt to the sudden depressing and dull atmosphere. He moved his butt back and forth in his seat. Jin An glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and Fatty Li's butt immediately stopped moving.

Jin'an saw the urgency in the expressions of King Zunyi and Master Yiyun, and he understood the interests involved, so he flipped his hand and a black fragrant pear appeared in his hand. The fragrant pear was held up by his Taoist Qi, and the Taoist Qi was used as a barrier to prevent the leakage of breath. It was the fragrant pear that King Zunyi had entrusted to him more than ten years ago.

He used this black fragrant pear as a starting point, and then went straight to the point: "Your Highness, do you know how the royal family obtained the Dafeng Kingdom's national treasure, the Gewu Xianding, and who proposed to bring the Gewu Xianding aboard the Shenzhou and go to sea with the fleet?"

As if the details of the case had been recalled many times by King Zunyi, he answered calmly without thinking: "This Immortal Cauldron of Gewu is a creation of the universe. It was unintentionally dug up by the Tianshi Mansion when they were repairing the mausoleum. It was presented to the court to praise the former emperor's good governance of the country. It moved the heavens, so they sent down this artifact to bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people."

"Tianshi Mansion?" Jin An pondered.

King Zun Yi nodded: "To be more precise, it was Jiang Tianren, one of the elders of the Eight Views Sect of the Tianshi Mansion."

"Building a mausoleum is a big deal. Back then, the elders of the Eight Views Sect of the Tianshi Mansion were responsible for supervising the construction. The ordinary elders of the Tianshi Mansion had no right to interfere in the construction of the mausoleum."

Jin An: "The Jiang Tianren that the prince is talking about, is he the ancestor of the Jiang family who entered the paradise not long ago?"

King Zunyi nodded: "It is this Jiang family ancestor."

Then he said, "Marquis Shenwu used this divine artifact as a starting point. Could it be that the mysterious incident of Shenzhou back then was really related to the Gewu Xianding?"

"Has the Marquis of Shenwu found out the whereabouts of this Immortal Cauldron?"

Jin An hesitated for a moment and said, "The Immortal Cauldron of Gewu is now sealed in a foreign land overseas, not within the borders of Kangding."

Everyone present was extremely smart, and they immediately understood the hidden meaning in Jin An's words. Master Yiyun couldn't help but ask, "Seal?"

"What does the seal here mean?"

Sealed overseas and lost overseas, the difference between the two words has completely different meanings.

One is a subjective seal, and the other is an accidental loss.

One is deliberate and the other is an unintentional mistake.

The meaning is completely different.
