Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

On that day, there were many more guards patrolling in Tianqi City, and everyone seemed to have sensed that something was amiss.

Later, news came that the entire family of the Minister of Personnel had been massacred, which immediately caused an uproar.

People in the streets began to talk about it. Some said that Su Ge had offended a powerful enemy, so his entire family was killed; others said that Su Ge had done too many bad things, and this was retribution.

At Xueluo Villa, it was already an incense stick later when Xiao Se received the news. The death of the Minister of Personnel Su Ge caught everyone off guard.

"Minister of Personnel? How could something happen to him?"

Xiao Se stood there, shocked and confused, but the next moment, he frowned.

"No, he hasn't left Apocalypse yet!!"

Xiao Se's face suddenly changed as if he had thought of something. He then looked at Ji Xue beside him and asked in a deep voice, "How are Li Dangxin and the others?"

Ji Xue pondered for a moment.

"They haven't been caught yet, but they should have left the area of ​​Apocalypse City long ago. After all, the people chasing them are not useless."

After Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin left Tianqi, they were like a dragon entering the sea, with no news at all. Even Bai Xiaotang could only infer the general direction of the two, but had no way of knowing their specific whereabouts.

"What a great plan to deceive the world."

Xiao Se withdrew his gaze and couldn't help muttering to himself.

When everyone heard this, many things instantly came to their mind. Wu Jingqi and Li Dangxin did not seem to say that they were the ones who did what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall that day. They just did not deny it. But in other words, not denying it does not mean admitting it.

"Xiao Se, do you mean to say that the murderer is someone else?"

Sikong Qianluo confirmed it again.

"It looks like that now."

"But if this happens, I'm afraid some people in Tianqi City will not be able to sleep."

A short blade popped out from Tang Lian's fingertips and he played with it in his hand. When he talked about this, his tone was a little playful.

Since the murderer has not been caught, those who have cheated in the imperial examinations are naturally the targets of that person. And judging from the other party's behavior, if he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he takes action, he will kill everyone and everyone. Such a ruthless style leaves almost no room for mercy.

"Xiao Chuhe, do we need to report this to the palace?"

Ye Ruoyi's eyes flashed with contemplation, and then she asked.

When the other people heard this, they all looked over.

"No need. Since we can think of this, then the palace can naturally think of it too. Of course, it is also possible that they may not have thought of it, but there will be people who are more anxious than us."

Xiao Se raised his eyebrows and his tone was quite complicated.

The other people were thoughtful after hearing Xiao Se's explanation. He was right. Even if Emperor Mingde had not thought of this, those people back then would have helped him think of this.

Only Ye Ruoyi, who was standing aside, was looking at Xiao Se who was standing there with a slightly complicated expression. Different from what the others were thinking, in addition to this idea, Ye Ruoyi was also considering that Xiao Se might be planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife, using that knife in the dark to clean up the parasites in the court.

"By the way, have Mr. Junyu and Master Mianbi returned?"

Xiao Se seemed to have remembered something, and turned to ask Ye Ruoyi beside him. "He should be back. When I came back just now, I saw His Highness Xiao Lingchen just came back from outside. But it's a bit strange, he didn't hold an umbrella, and his clothes weren't wet."

Hearing this, Xiao Se's mouth twitched. In his impression, Xiao Lingchen's current realm was only the Free and Easy Heaven Realm. Showing off like this was purely asking for trouble.

"Did he say where he was going?"

Ye Ruoyi shook her head gently.

Xiao Lingchen is the prince of Langya King, so it is not an exaggeration to call him the Little Langya King. In terms of identity, Ye Ruoyi is just the daughter of Ye Xiaoying, so how could the other party tell her where he is going.

"Forget it, let him go wherever he wants~~"

Xiao Se did not worry about Xiao Lingchen's whereabouts anymore. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he asked Ji Xue the same question, Ji Xue might give him a specific answer, but in that case, it would be meaningless.

In the backyard, Xiao Se met Jun Yu again.

Jun Yu didn't seem too surprised by Xiao Se's arrival. After seeing Xiao Se, Jun Yu said directly, "The emperor initially suspected that we killed Xu Kaihou."

Xiao Se frowned, thinking that his father had obviously not thought things through this time. If the people who took action were really these people, they would not have to do it secretly. Even if they acted openly, the imperial court would not be able to do anything to them.

Moreover, each of these Half-Step Return to the True Self has his own calculations and are not of one mind. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, and then they all gang up on them and eliminate one person, this is definitely the scene that everyone wants to see.

"Later, the Minister of Personnel was killed."

Jun Yu stood with his hands behind his back. Several Half-Step True Immortals were in the Golden Palace. Then, the Minister of Personnel Su Ge was killed, and no one in the Su Mansion was spared. This was the best evidence.

As for the threat from Emperor Mingde later, he did not take it to heart. When his master left Tianqi, in addition to his own disillusionment, it was also partly due to the need to guard the four realms.

These people are now unable to take care of themselves, and their realm is closely related to Beili's national destiny. Ye Wushang was right, those people's realms are indeed very high, the lowest are the Return to Truth Realm, and the highest ones have even reached the late stage of the Return to Truth Realm.

If these people get killed, it would indeed not be difficult to deal with Banbu Guizhen, but the difficulty lies in that the position of guardian of the four realms suppresses part of Beili's national destiny and cannot be separated from people.

"Then the emperor gave Ye Wushang and Xu Kaishan two days to find the murderer."

At this point, Jun Yu chuckled.

He also didn't know whether Ye Wushang and Xu Kaishan were really stupid or just pretending. Emperor Mingde was in Beili Longyun, and they had nowhere to start. Longyun was not a simple thing. Once infected with its backlash, let alone half-step return to the truth, even the return to the truth realm might not be able to withstand it.

Since they didn't dare to take action, what was the point of arguing with Emperor Mingde? To make the current emperor pay more attention to themselves? ?

"Father didn't embarrass you, sir?"

Hearing Jun Yu gloating, Xiao Se couldn't help but ask back.

"You are such a mean boy. I am a scholar. It is said that a gentleman should speak rather than fight. Why would your father embarrass me?"

Xiao Se didn't believe this answer. Since Emperor Mingde had issued this imperial edict, it meant that the matter was definitely not as simple as he said.

"One of them is used to being free and undisciplined, while the other is like a madman when he swings his fist. Naturally, they cannot stand those sarcasms. However, there is one thing that I find strange. It seems that your father summoned us here deliberately this time."

"It's like he's testing whether we dare to take action" (End of this chapter)
