When Prince Yun Hao entered the Changyou Palace, he was followed by two soldiers from the Jingshan Dao Kingdom. The two of them were carrying a square jade box and entered the Changyou Palace with Yun Hao.
Fang Jian stood up and bowed to Yun Hao. Yun Hao also bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Captain Fang, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."
Fang Jian said with a smile, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Please take a seat. Mr. Yu, serve tea to Your Highness Yun Hao."
"Yes." Yu Censhuang bowed respectfully to receive the order.
Yun Hao thanked Yu Censhuang, then took a sip of the teacup on the table. He then said to Fang Jian, "Captain Fang, I'm here on this night patrol to thank you for uncovering the pests that harmed our Jingshan Dao Nation, allowing my brother Yundan to rest in peace. The contents of this jade box are just a small token of my gratitude. Please accept them."
As he spoke, Yun Hao waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately carried the jade box to the center of the hall.
Fang Jian was slightly startled when he saw the jade box shimmering with blue fairy light, while Yu Censhuang knelt beside Fang Jian and whispered to him, "Sir, this is a treasure box refined by Jingyu. It can be used to collect and seal the great power."
Fang Jian suddenly realized what was going on, and then he said to Yun Hao, "Your Highness, why are you doing this? As a night patrol lieutenant, it is my duty to punish the wicked and redress the injustices. Please take this jade box back."
Yun Hao smiled and said, "Captain Fang, this is just my way of expressing my gratitude to you as the Crown Prince of the Jingshan Dao Kingdom. Please accept it."
Fang Jian said, "Prince Yunhao is too polite. Please take back the jade box."
Yun Hao shook his head and said, "Captain Fang, if I take it back, then why did I bring it here? Captain Fang, my Jingshan Dao Nation is a second-class nation and must be courteous. As the Crown Prince, I naturally want to express my gratitude to someone like Captain Fang who has shown favor to our nation. If you don't accept this 300,000 dust power, then our Jingshan Dao Nation will inevitably be ridiculed by other nations."
When Fang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and turned his head to look at Yu Censhuang beside him.
Yu Censhuang is a native of the Xiantian Wuji Realm and has followed Taiyuan Daozun for so long, so she must be very familiar with these things.
Yu Censhuang saw Fang Jian looking at him and immediately said softly, "Sir, this is indeed in accordance with etiquette. You can accept it."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian nodded immediately, then bowed to Yun Hao and said, "Since the prince is so kind, I would be honored to refuse it." After saying that, Fang Jian raised his sleeve and waved the jade box away.
Seeing Fang Jian accept the jade box, Prince Yun Hao was very happy. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he asked, "I heard that Captain Fang is the son of Taiyuan Daozun of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "The Taoist Taiyuan is Xuan Tang."
Prince Yun Hao nodded. Although this Taoist Taiyuan had no husband, if such a powerful person did not have a Taoist partner, most of them would conceive and give birth to children through "instinct". Love between men and women was completely unnecessary for them.
Just like the son of Taichu Daozun, he was born from Taichu Daozun's "immortal heart". He did not go through the process of ten months of pregnancy, but was born naturally when the opportunity came. However, he is still the blood of Taichu Daozun and must call Taichu Daozun father.
Prince Yunhao said, "I remember when the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom was first established, I was ordered by my father and king to go to Yancheng to attend the ceremony. It has been more than two thousand years now."
After saying this, Prince Yunhao asked again, "I wonder if Taoist Taiyuan is doing well these days?"
Fang Jian replied, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. Everything is going well in Xuantang."
"That's good." Prince Yunhao nodded and smiled. "Actually, I wanted to stay in Yujing City for another day to have a drink and chat with you, Captain Fang, but my schedule was tight, so I'll have to make up for it later."
Fang Jian asked in surprise, "Are you leaving now, Prince?"
Prince Yunhao nodded and said, "I will take Cai Zhen back to Jingshan Dao State and hand him over to the emperor and father for disposal. I will also send my brother Yundan's body back to the country for burial. And...ah, this is a family scandal. So, to avoid any further trouble, I will set off tonight."
Fang Jian said, "Isn't this too hasty? It won't be too late to set off tomorrow morning."
Yun Hao shook his head and said, "Everything is ready. I chose this route specifically to come and thank you, Captain Fang, when I passed by the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion."
After saying this, Yun Hao stood up and bowed, saying, "Captain Fang, although I've only met you twice, I feel like we have a good rapport. We'll meet again someday."
Upon seeing this, Fang Jian immediately stood up and walked down the steps of the palace, saying, "I will escort the prince out of the palace."
Yun Hao did not refuse, but thanked him with a smile, and finally turned around and left Changyou Palace with Fang Jian. After Fang Jian sent Yun Hao out of the Night Patrol Mansion, he saw the huge Jingshan Dao Kingdom team parked on the wide street outside the mansion.
Yun Hao bowed to Fang Jian again and said goodbye. Then, under the gaze of Fang Jian and his entourage, he boarded the imperial carriage and headed towards the South Gate of Yujing, surrounded by a huge team.
Fang Jian brought Yu Censhuang back to Changyou Palace, feeling something was amiss. "Prince Yunhao is so eager to leave Yujing City. There must be other reasons."
Upon hearing this, Yu Censhuang said softly, "The person who killed Yun Dan was the current wife of the King of Jingshan Dao Country, the Queen Mother of Jingshan Dao Country. This matter will definitely cause a sensation. It is only natural for him to be anxious to return to Jingshan Dao Country."
Fang Jian nodded, then shook his head and said, "I think these nobles in the Dao Court have become corrupt and too stupid."
Yu Censhuang said, "She is certainly depraved, but not necessarily stupid. Madam Yao Xing is the granddaughter of the Taoist Master Taishi. With such a background, there is nothing she wouldn't dare to do."
"Just wait and see, young master," Yu Censhuang said, "I can guarantee that even if the truth about Yun Dan's death comes to light, Madam Yao Xing will not be punished or blamed."
