Chapter 350
Chapter 350 Came to Qingjiang Prefecture again
Mu Yi left with Big Slave and Nian Nuer . Li the Cripple stayed to take care of the Taoist temple . The provincial city that Su Chongshan was referring to was Qingjiang Prefecture, which was the headquarters of the Church of the Thousand Children and the Far Ink Professional Organization .
Mu Yi got dressed and put on a Bamboo hat so no one could recognize him . Big Slave had gotten smaller so people would only fear him a little . They would never associate him with the most powerful weapon of the Church of the Thousand Children . There was no need to worry about being recognized during the trip . Mu Yi wanted to hide their identities so as not to involve the Su Clan in his matters .
Funiu Mountain was Mu Yi’s home and he didn’t want to lose his home . He knew that there would be no other paradise like Funiu Mountain for him in the world . If someone found out his identity, those people who wanted to seize the key of Yellow River’s ancient road would kill the people of Su Clan . Prince Chun who had returned to the capital would not let them go .
When they arrived in Qingjiang Prefecture, they went to the Far Ink Professional Organization .
“Is the Master here?” Mu Yi asked the guard at the door .
The guard’s attitude was surprisingly good as he quickly replied, “The Master hasn’t returned from escorting . Please leave your name and I will let her know when she comes back . ”
Mu Yi was disappointed . He didn’t know why he had come here . What had been said was obviously an excuse for outsiders . Mo Ruyan hadn’t come back here after leaving Luoyang City . He didn’t know where she had gone . Whether she was in danger or not could only depend on her own strength .
“It’s okay . ” Mu Yi shook his head and turned around .

“Wait . The Master’s father is here . I could give the message to him . ” The guard said hurriedly .
“Alright . When she comes back, please tell her that an old friend came . She will know . ” Mu Yi said and then left with Big Slave .
“That was strange . Your face is covered and you said to say an old friend is visiting . How would the Master know who you are?” The guard muttered .
“Little Seven, what are you talking about?” A middle-aged man, who had just come out, asked .
“Uncle Cai, there was a strange man who came to see the Master, but he didn’t leave a name . He left after saying that an old friend came to visit . ” Little Seven said .
“What did the man look like? ” Uncle Cai asked excitedly .
“He was wearing a hat and his face couldn’t be seen clearly . ” Little Seven admitted . “But he was followed by a big man who looked fierce . ”
“How tall was the big man? Nearly 3 meters? ” Uncle Cai asked .
“3 meters? Uncle Cai, that’s impossible . The big man was only a little taller than me . ” Little Seven said .

“That’s not him . ” Uncle Cai said with a disappointed tone .
“Uncle Cai, what are you talking about? Does that man have something to do with the Master?” Little Seven asked .
“Get out . Can you inquire about the Master? You better be careful . If the Master’s father heard about it, you would be punished . ” Uncle Cai scolded with a smile, then left .
“Ah, that’s right . Recently, the Master’s father gets angry when anyone mentions the master . ” Little Seven said to himself . He quickly shut up and focused on his work .
…… . .
When they arrived at the inn, Nian Nuer came out of the Bamboo Tree of Life . She had to stay in the Bamboo Tree of Life if they were around other people . It was another way for them to go unnoticed .
“Brother, has Ruyan come back?”
“No, maybe her tour is not over . ” Mu Yi said lightly .

“Oh . ” Nian Nuer said, looking depressed .
“My Lord . ” Someone knocking at the door said .
“Come in . ” Mu Yi said after Nian Nuer returned to the Bamboo Tree of Life .
This was one of the secret places of Su Clan in Qingjiang Prefecture . Only Su Chongshan and a few other people knew about it . The door opened and a man dressed as a waiter came in . He looked like he was in his twenties . He had the kind of face that would not stand out in the crowd .
“My Lord, I’m Su Yun . ” he said .
“Do you have any news about Su Jinlun?” Mu Yi asked directly .
In addition to their legal business, the Su Clan cultivated a group of people secretly . They collected information or helped the Su Clan when asked . Su Yun was the leader of the group of people . According to Su Chongshan, Su Yun was a scholar previously . However, something happened so he changed his name and joined Su Clan . Su Chongshan trusted him a lot .
“The young prince is being detained in the prison of Qingjiang Prefecture, which is guarded heavily . I tried my best to save him, but was unable to . ” Su Yun said shamefully . “There is no real danger, but he will suffer a bit . ”
“A little suffering doesn’t matter . It’s a good thing for him to experience more trials . ” Mu Yi nodded .
As long as Su Jinlun was alive, even if his arms and legs were broken, he could help him recover . The prison was probably a trap made by the Church of the Thousand Children to catch Mu Yi . The reason why Su Jinlun was locked up there was because they knew Mu Yi would enter to save him . Su Yun didn’t say anything after Mu Yi spoke . His face didn’t even twitch but Mu Yi still felt his disapproval .
“Let’s talk about the Church of the Thousand Children . Who is the leader of the Church of the Thousand Children now? What forces do they have in Qingjiang Prefecture? “Mu Yi asked .
“At present, the leader of the Church of the Thousand Children is still the Dhammapala . It is said that his surname is Yan . He is the chief guest at the governor’s residence . In Qingjiang Prefecture, it seems that he could even command the wind . The young prince was put in prison on his orders . ” Su Yun said quickly .
The Church of the Thousand Children held great power, which had a lot to do with the governor . Without the governor’s assistance, it would be difficult to save people in Qingjiang Prefecture . Su Chongshan had asked him to listen to and follow Mu Yi . He didn’t say anything and did as told . If Mu Yi failed, he wouldn’t be accountable .
“That Dhammapala’s surname is Yan?” Mu Yi asked .
He remembered that back then Dharma protector said after the fall of Qing Dynasty, it must be time for the Yan Dynasty . Mu Yi was confused by his words at the time . Mu Yi was not optimistic about the future of the Church of the Thousand Children because of its style of action . They may cause some trouble for people but they would never succeed . Maybe it was just a cover .
The Church of the Thousand Children was related to a governor . In the Qing Dynasty, there were less than ten governors . A governor who could manage one province or several provinces was like a duke . In Qingjiang Prefecture, the governor had absolute power over life and death . Su Clan was full of impressive people, but its rise and fall could still be altered by the governor .
“What do you know about the governor?” Mu Yi continued .
“My Lord, his name is Zhu An . He was a number one scholar in his early years . He is a man of great abilities . Under his control, the life of the people who lived in Jiangnan and Jiangxi started to thrive . After gaining control of the military and politics, he became extremely domineering . There are many concubines and many children in his family . He seldom goes out and the residence is heavily guarded . It’s said that he has first-class experts for protection . It has not been confirmed . ” Su Yun said .
“He’s cautious . It doesn’t matter if he has first-class experts . As the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, his identity is too important . If he died suddenly, for the Su Clan it could be a disaster . We can only start with The Church of the Thousand Children . ” Mu Yi said slowly .
