The Three Worlds

In the dilapidated courtyard.

Old trees and dead branches, a desolate scene.

Spider webs were everywhere in the corners, and only two figures standing in the middle of the courtyard looked a little alive.

The mysterious masked man raised his head slightly: "You can stay in the cold palace and continue to be the commander of your imperial guards!"

Although he said this lightly, it was like a huge bell and a drum in Xiao Qi's mind, shaking his heart wildly and revealing disbelief in his eyes.

"Can I continue to be the commander of the imperial guards?"

Xiao Qi showed a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Compared with guarding the cold palace, it is definitely much better to stay in the imperial court.

However, the dispatch documents have been sent down, and if you want to change it, I am afraid you will have to pay a lot of price.

"Can you help me change the documents?" "Sure!"

"What price do I need to pay?"

"You don't need to pay anything!"

Xiao Qi was slightly startled, and suddenly came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: "Then I refuse!"

Unexpectedly refused!

Although the masked man couldn't see the expression on his face, his eyes shrank, and the light of disbelief in his pupils showed that he was also shocked by Xiao Qi's answer.

"Why?"

He rarely asked why, but today, he asked it for the first time.

"There is no free lunch in the world. The reason why you let me return to the position of the commander of the imperial guards without paying a single cent means that this position is quite dangerous and no one else wants to go there, so I have to return to this position."

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes.

Like the light of wisdom.

He was not a fool, and naturally knew that the position of the commander of the imperial guards was a popular one. On weekdays, there were countless people coveting this position, and now that he had given up this position, it stands to reason that there should be countless people, all showing their magical powers, fighting for the position of the commander of the imperial guards, how could it be his turn as a person who had lost power.

Moreover, Xiao Qi knew very well that because of his pretending to be sick, he had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the royal relatives and nobles in the palace.

Everyone wanted to exclude him.

It was impossible for him to stay.

"You are very smart. Since you can see through the problem yourself, I will not hide it from you. This matter is indeed very difficult."

The masked man stood with his hands behind his back, his robes billowing in the wind, and his eyes were filled with solemnity.

"I'm sorry I can't do anything."

Xiao Qi was too lazy to listen any more.

Since it was a difficult matter, it would be better to pretend that he knew nothing, so that trouble would not come to him.

"You..."

The masked man was speechless.

He had heard that Xiao Qi was a fence-sitter, and he was afraid of death and would avoid trouble wherever there was trouble.

He really didn't know how such a guy could get to this level step by step.

"After the matter is done, I can give you a treasure to promote your cultivation!"

The masked man suppressed his dissatisfaction and made a condition.

He knew very well that it would be difficult for someone like Xiao Qi to agree without sufficient temptation.

"Forget it, I'm afraid that I will die suddenly the next day after returning to the position of the commander of the imperial army. I won't be able to enjoy the treasures you give me."

Xiao Qi refused without hesitation.

In short, he only believed in one thing, that is, when someone makes an offer for the first time, no matter how generous the chips are, you must refuse.

Just refuse.

No one will show you the final trump card right away.

"We can also provide you with another defensive treasure."

The masked man looked at Xiao Qi deeply, his eyes full of warning.

It seemed to be warning him not to ask for too much.

But Xiao Qi pretended not to see this scene, and still laughed:

"Not enough!"

The masked man's eyes shrank, and his eyes completely turned cold: "Give you another magic weapon that can attack and defend at the same time!"

Xiao Qi finally smiled when he saw the chips increasing.

It was like the smile of a fish biting the hook.

"I agree!"

He pretended to be generous and waved his hand.

"But the treasure that improves cultivation must be given to me first, and the two magic weapons, one is a full defense type, and the other one, I don't want any attack and defense, you still give me a full defense magic weapon!"

Xiao Qi's eyes flickered slightly and said.

"Two full defense magic weapons?"

The masked man was stunned, and he couldn't understand why this guy was so afraid of death.

He thought for a while and said: "I can give you two defensive magic weapons now!"

"As for the treasure that improves cultivation, I can only give it to you after you start working!"

Xiao Qi was unhappy when he heard this.

"What do you mean? Are you worried that I won't work after taking the things?"

The masked man was not polite and said directly: "Yes!"

"There have been such examples before!"

"So, you must complete the corresponding tasks according to our requirements before you can get this first treasure."

Xiao Qi's face turned completely dark: "What if you turn your face and refuse to admit it after I finish the work?"

He sneered in his heart.

"You are worried that I won't work, but I am also worried that you will get something for nothing!"

The masked man nodded slightly and said, "We have been working together for so long. When have you ever encountered a situation where we turned against each other and refused to admit our commitment?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment, pretended to be hesitant, pretended to be very embarrassed, and finally reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, okay, you have the final say!"

The masked man has a great background. The forces behind him are not only related to the Nine Emperors Divine Dynasty, but are said to be all over Fengyun Jiuzhou.

This time, the depths of the imperial city are about to usher in a war of heavenly change, so they need to find me, use the identity of the commander of the imperial army, control the army in the imperial city, and facilitate their next actions.

"At present, there are three major forces in the palace, namely the current emperor, the prince behind the moon concubine, and the last force, which is the force behind the masked man."

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Qi's mind.

In fact, he didn't know which prince was supported by the forces behind the masked man. He could only say that he was very hidden.

The Yue Fei wanted to start a palace coup, and the forces behind the masked man were clearly trying to play a trick of the mantis catching the cicada while the oriole waited behind.

As for who will win in the end, it depends on who has better skills.

In fact, in Xiao Qi's heart, he was not optimistic about these two forces. No matter how much you plan, facing the peerless powerhouse like the current emperor, how can you have a chance to turn the world upside down.

So, he decided...

Xiao Qi looked at the masked man calmly, his eyes were full of passion.

He deliberately pretended to be very excited.
