Chapter 2636: Grand Tutor
"Are we there yet?"
At the call of the two girls, Mo Qingyun quit his training and walked out of the training room.
After coming out of the training room, Mo Qingyun nodded to the two of them, and then he walked out of the Black Demon Flying Boat.
"Zishu, who were your father's trusted people when he was in power?"
After coming out of the Black Demon Flying Boat, Mo Qingyun had a plan and asked Wang Zishu directly.
After hearing Mo Qingyun's question, Wang Zishu looked thoughtful, and recalled in his mind, saying: "When my father was in power, there were five people who were highly valued by him, namely the domineering Wang Xiao, the wise Pan Yong, the national god Ma Wenguang, the grand tutor Shi Wende, and the grand tutor Jin Chuanmie."
"Wang Xiao?"
Mo Qingyun was surprised to see that Wang Xiao's name was among the five people Wang Zishu mentioned.
He didn't expect that Wang Zishu's father actually valued Wang Xiao when he was in power.
After a little surprise, Mo Qingyun felt relieved and accepted this fact.
If Wang Xiao was not valued, how could he gather people and successfully rebel and seize the throne.
After a brief pause, Mo Qingyun frowned and said, "Among the other four, are there any who have surrendered to Wang Xiao?"
In Mo Qingyun's opinion, after Wang Xiao successfully seized power, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no one who will surrender.
"Wang Xiao was able to successfully seize power because of the help of Grand Tutor Jin Chuanmie."
Hearing Mo Qingyun's question, Wang Zishu's pretty face turned cold, and a ruthless look emerged in her eyes, saying, "If it weren't for his secret lobbying, how could so many officials secretly surrender to Wang Xiao."
"In this case, this Jin Chuanmie cannot be won over."
Knowing Jin Chuanmie's situation, Mo Qingyun immediately excluded him and listed him as one of the targets to be killed.
Talking about the situation of Jin Chuanmie, Wang Zishu frowned slightly and said, "As for Pan Yong, Ma Wenguang and Shi Wende, I am not very clear about their specific situation now."
"Hmm!"
After listening to Wang Zishu's words, Mo Qingyun did not ask any more questions.
After so many years,
everything has changed a lot, and it is normal for Wang Zishu not to know.
"Let's find a city first and capture its lord to get information."
After telling the two girls, Mo Qingyun took them to find nearby cities.
Relying on the memory in her mind, Wang Zishu quickly took Mo Qingyun and the others to the outside of an ancient city.
This ancient city is very dilapidated, with broken city walls and aging buildings in the city, giving people the feeling of an old man in his twilight years.
"Wende City?"
Seeing the handwriting on the city gate, Wang Zishu frowned and looked thoughtful.
Looking at Wang Zishu's reaction, Mo Qingyun showed a curious expression and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this city?"
"If I remember correctly, this city seemed to be called Mushan City before, how did it become Wende City?"
Hearing Mo Qingyun's question, Wang Zishu said something puzzled, and she widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and guessed, "Could it be that the master returned here and changed the name of this city?"
Wang Zishu's analysis immediately changed Mo Qingyun's expression and gave rise to a strong expectation.
If this is true, it would save a lot of trouble and he could go directly to the master.
"Let's go into the city first."
Mo Qingyun left a word and he took the lead to walk towards the city gate.
When Mo Qingyun and the other two came to the city gate, they didn't even see a city guard, which shows how dilapidated the city was.
If there were no people walking around in the city, Mo Qingyun would even suspect that this was already an abandoned city.
Although the city was very dilapidated, the location of the city lord's mansion was still very obvious.
When Mo Qingyun and the other two walked into the city, they saw a huge mansion scattered in the center of the city.
Seeing this, Mo Qingyun and the other two did not stop and walked directly to the city lord's mansion.
After a while, the three came to the outside of the city lord's mansion and saw an elderly man sweeping the floor.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Mo Qingyun asked with a humble expression: "Old man, may I ask if Master Wende, the Grand Tutor, lives here?"
"There is no Grand Tutor here, you can go back."
In response to Mo Qingyun's question, the old man did not raise his head and swept the floor slowly.
After getting such an answer, Mo Qingyun felt a little disappointed and turned to look at Wang Zishu.
At this time, Wang Zishu looked at the old man sweeping the floor in front of him with an excited expression and said: "Grand Tutor, I am Zishu, don't you recognize me?"
"Zishu!"
Hearing Wang Zishu's words, the old man who was sweeping the floor trembled, as if he had been electrocuted.
Immediately, he looked at Wang Zishu with an excited expression.
"He is the Grand Tutor Shi Wende!"
Mo Qingyun was shocked when he saw the old man sweeping the floor. He guessed his identity.
Unexpectedly, the former Grand Tutor who was in a high position and had great power turned into an old man sweeping the floor.
Under Mo Qingyun's surprised eyes, Shi Wende looked at Wang Zishu, and he showed an excited expression and said, "Princess, follow me into the mansion first, and we'll talk about other things later."
"Yes!"
Wang Zishu nodded and walked into the mansion.
Mo Qingyun and the other two followed closely and entered the City Lord's Mansion.
When Mo Qingyun and the other two followed, Shi Wende frowned slightly and looked at them vigilantly.
However, Shi Wende didn't say anything in the end, and turned around to continue to lead the three people.
After a while, under Shi Wende's lead, everyone came to a small courtyard.
There are some herbs planted in the courtyard, and some farm tools are placed around, which looks like a farmyard.
Looking at the scene in front of him and Shi Wende's actions just now, he obviously regarded himself as an old farmer.
"Princess, I feel guilty for you and failed to protect the late emperor."
Walking into the courtyard, Shi Wende knelt in front of Wang Zishu with a guilty look on his face.
Seeing Shi Wende's actions, Wang Zishu's expression flustered, and she hurriedly helped him up and said, "Master, you don't need to blame yourself. It's all Wang Xiao and Jin Chuanmie's fault."
Hearing Wang Zishu's words, Shi Wende's old face trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Princess, Wang Xiao and Jin Chuanmie's cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of the universe. You must not seek revenge on them."
"Middle stage of the universe!"
Hearing Shi Wende's words, Wang Zishu's pretty face showed some shock.
Obviously, she didn't expect that in just a few decades, the cultivation of the two had improved so much.
After reminding Wang Zishu, Shi Wende's old face tightened, and he said, "Princess, Wang Xiao's power is very strong now, and their minions are everywhere. You should leave here as soon as possible and never come back."
"No, I came back this time to restore the country."
Wang Zishu refused Shi Wende's advice with a firm look on her face.
Hearing Wang Zishu's words, Shi Wende's expression was shocked, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Wang Zishu's talk of restoring the country gave him some fighting spirit.
However, thinking of the power of Wang Xiao and the others, his fighting spirit soon decreased.
