The Forbidden City？
Upon hearing these three words, Ye Qiu immediately thought of that imperial city that had stood for six hundred years without falling.
At the same time, Ye Qiu also noticed that when Cao Yuan said these three words, his face showed an unprecedented solemn expression.
”Lord of Nine Thousand Years, what is the origin of the Forbidden City？ ” Ye Qiu asked.”
Cao Yuan replied, “The Forbidden City is a transcendent force. They claim to be the gatekeepers of the imperial city, but in fact, they are all descendants of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.”
”Since before the founding of the country, they have been living in the Forbidden City.”
“Although they don’t have many people, each of them is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. They usually don’t see outsiders, and each of them has extremely strong strength. Even, they disdain to participate in the battle for the Dragon Ranking.
Ye Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air.
Not even looking down on the Dragon Ranking, how powerful must they be？
Cao Yuan continued, “The instigator of the siege and killing of your father by countless masters back then was Tie Kou Zhi Duan, the first divine fortune teller in the capital, Zhuge Qing. He also publicly declares that he was a disciple of the Forbidden City.
Whether it’s true or not, no one knows. However, he does have countless ties with the Forbidden City.
“Therefore, I suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Forbidden City.”
“Unfortunately, I haven’t found any evidence. This is all just my speculation.”
Ye Qiu said： “Sooner or later, I will find the evidence.”
“It’s been more than twenty years. How easy is it to find evidence？”
Cao Yuan let out a long sigh and said： “If you want to avenge your father, then the Dragon Gate will be your help.”
“As long as you take over as the master of the Dragon Gate and have Zhuque assist you, I believe that you will definitely be able to find out the truth of what happened back then.”
“However, Ye Qiu, you have to listen to my advice. Even if what happened back then was really done by the Forbidden City, you have to endure and not easily provoke them. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to avenge your father, but you will also bring you and your family into a situation of eternal damnation.”
“The Forbidden City is like a fierce beast. Once it shows its fangs, there will be a river of blood.”
“People like me are like ants in front of them.”
Ye Qiu didn’t quite believe it.
“Lord Nine Thousand Years, are you exaggerating too much? You are the master of the Dragon Gate. How could you be an ant?”
Cao Yuan smiled bitterly： “This is not an exaggeration. In the eyes of those people in the Forbidden City, I’m really just an ant.”
“The Dragon Gate is powerful enough, right？”
“Let me tell you, if the Forbidden City makes a move, then the Dragon Gate has only one way, and that is destruction.”
Ye Qiu was shocked.
”Do you know anything about the Ye family where your father is？” Cao Yuan asked again.
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “I heard from my mother that the Ye family is the number one family in the capital.”
”Your mother is right. The Ye family is indeed the number one family in the capital, but what I want to tell you is that even though the Ye family is so powerful, they still don’t dare to challenge the Forbidden City.”
What！
Ye Qiu was horrified. If the people who wanted to kill Ye Wushuang back then were from the Forbidden City, how could he take revenge?
Cao Yuan saw Ye Qiu’s thoughts and said, “You don’t have to be discouraged. You are still young and there is still a chance.”
”However, you have to become stronger as soon as possible.”
”Become the master of the Dragon Gate, and you can use the resources of the Dragon Gate to investigate the truth of what happened back then.”
”If it was really done by the Forbidden City, with the Dragon Gate in hand, you will also have an extra life-saving card.”
”Take the order！”
Cao Yuan handed the Master of the Gate Order to Ye Qiu again.
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, “Your Highness, I can take over as the master of the Dragon Gate, but I have one request.”
”Please speak.”
”Please don’t make this public for the time being. If you are safe after tonight, then I will return the Dragon Gate Order to you and you will still be the master of the Dragon Gate.”
“Nonsense.” Cao Yuan said with a smile and no good temper, “I worked hard to establish the Dragon Gate. If I don’t die, how could I let you be the master of the gate.
Ye Qiu laughed and took the Master of the Gate Order.
”Alright, help me treat my injuries！”
Cao Yuan sat down on the sofa.
Ye Qiu nodded, grasped Cao Yuan’s pulse, and carefully examined it.
Three minutes passed.
Ye Qiu withdrew his hand and said, “Lord Thousand Years, treat the external injuries first, and then the insect poison.”
”Okay.”
”Take off your coat.”
Cao Yuan took off his coat, and it could be seen that his body was wrapped in gauze.
When Ye Qiu untied these gauzes, he found that there were six or seven wounds on Cao Yuan’s body. Especially on his back, there was a knife wound that spread from the left shoulder to the waist, which was shocking.
Ye Qiu was amazed in his heart. As expected of the master of Longmen, even with such serious injuries, Cao Yuan could still talk and laugh freely. This kind of determination was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Ye Qiu immediately applied needles and drew talismans. It took nearly half an hour to heal the external injuries on Cao Yuan’s body.
Cao Yuan was extremely shocked when he saw the wounds heal quickly.
”No wonder Qilin said that you are the most powerful doctor he has ever seen. In my opinion, your medical skills can be called unrivaled in the world.”
This was the highest evaluation.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Lord Thousand Years, you are too kind. I just mastered some talismans, so I can get twice the result with half the effort when treating diseases. Chinese medicine has a long history and profound knowledge. I still need to continue to learn.”
”Not arrogant or impatient, very good.” Appreciation appeared in Cao Yuan’s eyes.
Then, Ye Qiu began to help Cao Yuan treat the insect poison.
Another half an hour passed, and the two of them came out of the bedroom.
In the living room, the Long-browed True Man, looking like a highly accomplished immortal, was telling Qilin about fate and divination.
Qilin listened with great interest.
Seeing Cao Yuan come out, Qilin hurriedly stood up and asked with concern, “His Excellency the Nine Thousand Years Old, how is your injury？”
”Ye Qiu has already treated me, and the Gu poison has also been removed.” Cao Yuan then asked, “Has Qinglong not come back？”
Qilin shook his head： “Not yet.”
Cao Yuan frowned slightly and said, “Qinglong has been out for two hours.”
”Could something have happened to him？” Qilin asked.
”Whether something has happened or not, I will divine by casting a hexagram.” The Long-browed True Man took out three copper coins from his sleeve and threw them into the air.
Whoosh！
The three copper coins spun rapidly in the air.
Ten seconds later.
Pa！
The three copper coins landed on the table, arranged in a character shape like the Chinese character ‘pin’. The Long-browed True Man pinched his fingers.
”Senior, how is it？” Qilin asked.
The Long-browed True Man said with a solemn expression： “It’s a very inauspicious omen.”
”His Excellency the Nine Thousand Years Old, Qinglong is in danger. I’m going to find him.” Qilin said and was about to leave.
”Wait！” Cao Yuan stopped Qilin and then asked the Long-browed True Man： “Is Qinglong really in danger？”
”Not only is he in danger, I’m afraid he will also be in danger of losing his life. The hexagram shows that Qinglong is already dead.”
What！
The complexions of several people changed drastically.
Creak——
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a black shirt and relatively thin figure walked in from the outside.
Looking at the middle-aged man, Kirin said in astonishment, “Azure Dragon, you’re not dead？”
The middle-aged man gave Kirin a cold glance and said, “What are you cursing me for when I’m fine?”
”Just now, True Man Longbrow said you…”
”Said me what？”
”He said you…”
“Cough cough!” True Man Longbrow suddenly coughed violently, interrupting Kirin’s words, and then said with a smile, “Kirin, being young is not terrifying. the terrifying thing is having no brains.
”Didn’t you see that I was joking with you？”
