Chapter 146 Accident
Things in this world are not black and white.

For the Sea Shark Gang and the islanders, since the court of Dayong is unable to maintain their stability, then don't blame them for living on their own.

But the court naturally didn't think so.

What they saw was that the Sea Shark Gang had strong soldiers and strong horses, as if they were separatist overseas.

What is this doing... this is rebellion!

Perhaps in the eyes of the imperial court, the Sea Shark Gang is more fearful of them than the Japanese pirates who are already on the decline.

Seeing the eldest cousin's furious appearance, Qi Xuan had no choice but to persuade him: "The most urgent thing now is to find out how this Zhu Yuntian knew that you are going to be the admiral of the navy."

Qi Zong immediately calmed down when he heard the words.

Indeed, as Qi Xuan said, compared with his whereabouts being leaked, the collusion between the Navy and the Sea Shark Gang is nothing at all.

The imperial court knows what the Donghai Navy looks like, otherwise it would not have allocated a huge sum of 500 million taels to rebuild the Navy.

It's about rebuilding, not overhauling.

And Qi Xuan's reminder is not dangerous and sensational.

Qi Zong's appointment as the admiral of the Donghai Navy is a top secret, and the people who know about it can count on one hand.

There are only Qi Jiang and Qi Zong in the Qi Mansion.

It is naturally impossible for Qi Zong to doubt his own grandfather.

There is only one possibility.

There is a problem with the prince!

Qi Zong's face changed drastically, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "I'm going to write a letter back to Beijing to report this matter to the prince."

Then he turned his head and discussed with Qi Xuan: "Fourth brother, I want to borrow Gao Jie from your subordinate."

Qi Xuan naturally agreed.

Gao Jie was originally the secret guard of Marquis Wucheng's mansion, and Qi Zong, as the son of the eldest son, was sure to inherit the title of Marquis Wucheng in the future.

There is no need to discuss with Qi Xuan about calling Gao Jie.

However, Qi Xuan still noticed something from his big brother's words.

Isn't he going to tell grandpa about this?

……

The next day, spring rain continued.

Qi Xuan woke up in his room.

Ever since Qi Yuyao brought Li Ruoxiang to the Qi Mansion, Li Shi repeatedly ordered Qi Xuan not to stay overnight with Ziyun, so as not to have a bad influence.

Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word that the genuine daughter-in-law slept with the concubine every day before she even got married.

Speaking of marriage, Qi Ning's marriage has been fixed in mid-March.

According to Grandpa Qi Jiang's arrangement, after Qi Ning finishes his wedding, he can start preparing for Qi Xuan's wedding.

As for Qi Yuyao and Qi Yu, although they are older than Qi Xuan, they are not in the same room after all, so there is no need to worry about their marriage.

One advantage of getting married in this era is that, as the groom's official, Qi Xuan doesn't have to worry about anything, just wait for the wedding day.

Arranged marriages are not useless either.

……

After hearing the movement in Qi Xuan's room, Qingqing, who had been waiting in the courtyard in advance, came in to help Qi Xuan wash up.

Not long after, Ziyun, holding a paper umbrella, also came in from the yard carrying food boxes.

Qi Xuan, who had already washed up, sat at the table, waiting for Ziyun to arrange the dishes one by one.

"My lord, someone sent you an invitation card this morning." Ziyun put away the food box and said softly.

Qi Xuan replied while eating: "Who brought it?"

Ziyun took the towel from Qingqing and wiped her hands, then took out an invitation card from her bosom and handed it to Qi Xuan with both hands.

Qi Xuan was busy eating and didn't take it, but motioned Ziyun to spread the invitation directly in front of him.

As Ziyun unfolded the invitation, Qi Xuan glanced at it.

"Wei Yuanshen, what did he ask me to do?"

As the closed disciple of Chunyang Guangning Daoist, although Wei Yuanshen seldom walks around the rivers and lakes, quite a few respected martial arts people recognize him as the No.1 of the younger generation!
There are rumors that his Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu has even surpassed his big brother Yuxu Zhenren.

But what does this have to do with Qi Xuan?

Qi Xuan pondered for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what connection he had with this young martial arts leader.

However, their family backgrounds are quite similar.

Qi Xuan was born in the honorable Wuchenghou Mansion.

Wei Yuanshen is also the son of An Guogong's family.

"Did the person who sent the invitation declare his family name?" Qi Xuan asked.

Ziyun nodded: "The person who wrote the letter claims to be from Anguo Gongfu."

"Gao..." Qi Xuan thought for a while, and was about to call out Gao Jie's name when he suddenly remembered that Gao Jie had been transferred away by his eldest cousin.

"Go to the mansion and find a secret guard, and send this invitation back intact."

Since you are not familiar, there is no need to meet.

……

After eating, Qi Xuan picked up the ancient books that he took along from his father and began to read them.

The name of this book is "Records of Countries in the Western Regions".

It is said to be an ancient book, but in fact it was written by a famous calligrapher more than 100 years ago.

This person had better traveled all over the world, leaving very few authentic works in his life, this "Records of the Countries of the Western Regions" can be regarded as a lonely copy.

From the perspective of calligraphy, this "Records of the Western Regions" is indeed unparalleled in the world, and even Qi Xuan, who does not know calligraphy, can see its extraordinary.

But from the point of view of travel notes, it's a complete piece of shit.

But Qi Xuan obviously didn't come to appreciate the author's experience.

He fell in love with this book at first glance because the cover of the book had the same patterns as the tokens of "King Chujiang" and "King of the Wheel" in his hand.

Zhao Lingyue once said that the writing on the other side of the token belongs to Sanskrit.

And Sanskrit was almost the common language of all countries in the Western Regions.

In other words, the mysterious organization "Ten Palaces of Yama" is very likely to have a relationship with the disappeared countries of the Western Regions.

The demise of the countries in the Western Regions was precisely the work of Emperor Jing Li Ben. In the third year of his ascension to the throne, he conquered and pacified the Western Regions himself, and expanded the territory of Dayong to the edge of the Death Desert.

And it was during the reign of Emperor Jing Li Ben that a mysterious force appeared.

The sudden death of Prince Jingyi and Li Xian...was their work.

Tang Tianque declared himself the bottom of the cold cave for 12 years, also because they provided Tang Tianque with something pure yang.

……

To be able to take such painstaking efforts to bring Dayong down can only be the hatred of the country and the family.

Fire Cloud Country!
Qi Xuan finally found a clue from the author's nonsense travel notes.

According to the author, when passing through the most powerful country in the Western Regions, Huoyun Kingdom, he was received by the leader of Huoyun Kingdom, who is also of Central Plains blood. Made of extremely precious jade.

The author also mentioned that the symbol of the Fire Cloud Kingdom is a cloud of fire.

Huoshaoyun, Qi Xuan couldn't help but took out the two tokens, the decoration on one side was indeed exactly the same as Huoshaoyun.

A country is destroyed by another powerful country, and the escaped king or prince painstakingly seeks revenge. What kind of bitter and bitter plot is this?

"My lord, something is wrong!" Ziyun ran in hastily, before she had time to breathe calmly, she said anxiously: "Your lord, something happened!"

……

When Qi Xuan came to the lobby of the front yard, he immediately saw Gao Jie with a pale face on the chair.

Besides, Qi Yan, his wife, and Gao Ying, the leader of the hidden guards, were all there.

"My lord..." Gao Jie saw Qi Xuan coming in, and tried to stand up but failed.

Qi Xuan took two steps forward and came to Gao Jie's body, a surge of true energy directly penetrated into his body, and he put his hand on Gao Jie's pulse until Gao Jie's face recovered a trace of blood.

Qi Xuan frowned suddenly, and immediately ignored the many female relatives present, he pointed directly at Gao Jie's right shoulder, and the raging energy instantly tore Gao Jie's sleeve to pieces.

A pitch-black wound resembling a worm suddenly appeared on Gao Jie's shoulder.

There wasn't a trace of blood oozing from the wound, but the black air that was constantly spreading towards Gao Jie's body made everyone present shudder.

Gao Ying took a deep breath, even looking at him, he could already feel the horror of this wound, and couldn't help saying: "Master, this is..."

A gleam of coldness flashed in Qi Xuan's eyes: "The 'Sura Zhan' of the Fujiwara family."

Qi Xuan was too familiar with this deadly air.

Qi Xuan immediately mobilized Taihe Zhenqi, and directly stamped Gao Jie's wound with a palm. As the black air in the wound dissipated, the bloody wound was exposed after a while.

As the bloody smell gradually spread in the lobby, Qi Xuancai slowly withdrew his palm.

The air of death and silence has been removed, and all that remains is flesh and blood wounds.

"Father, take mother back first, just leave it to me." Qi Xuan glanced at his pale mother, Li Shi, and asked his father to take him away first.

Having already involved the Jianghu, Qi Yan knew that he was not able to handle it, and immediately pulled Li Shi to prepare to leave. Before leaving, Qi Yan hesitated again and again, and said to Qi Xuan: "Xuan'er, your uncle and your eldest cousin usually... "

Qi Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "Father, I'm just being lazy and nosy, it doesn't mean that someone can bully our Qi family."

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said solemnly to Qi Xuan: "You must be careful yourself!"

……

Only Qi Xuan and Gao Yinggaojie were left in the lobby.

At this time, Gao Ying had already applied Gao Jie's wound ointment to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. Although Gao Jie's face was still a little pale, he could already stand up by himself.

"My lord, it's all because the guards are weak!" Gao Jie stooped.

When Qi Xuan waved his hand, Gao Jie felt his body lighten up, and found himself sitting back on the chair in the blink of an eye.

"You are still injured, sit and answer." Qi Xuan said calmly, "What happened?"

Gao Jie took a deep breath, and then spoke eloquently.

Qi Zong suspected that there were spies around the prince because of the leak of the secret that he was the admiral of the Navy.

And the identity of this person can be concluded that he is one of the few cronies around the prince.

Because he didn't know which one it was, Qi Zong worried that if he wrote a letter without authorization, he would startle the snake.

So Qi Zong thought of Shen Ke.

Shen Ke is not only the prince's confidant, but also the money bag prepared by the old emperor for the prince.

In Shen Ke's hands, there must be a way to directly contact the prince.

……

"In order to avoid eyes and ears, the Eldest Young Master asked me to go quietly to the government office this morning and make an appointment with Mr. Shen." Gao Jie continued.

"At noon, the Eldest Young Master, the three secret guards, and I came to Mr. Shen's village outside the city, and met Mr. Shen."

"But as soon as we met, the Eldest Young Master reminded his subordinates in code words that there is something wrong with Mr. Shen."

"I followed the Eldest Young Master's order and took it down. It was Mr. Shen, and I found out that it was someone who faked it."

Gao Jie said, a look of pain flashed in his eyes: "It's just my subordinates who looked away, I didn't expect that the fake Mr. Shen is also a master who hides everything. Click on the acupoint."

"I wanted to save the eldest son, but I was hit on the shoulder by this man's sword blow. If he hadn't been blocked by my hidden weapon, I'm afraid my subordinates would have returned with their lives."

Gao Jie has been by Qi Xuan's side for the longest time, and has seen Qi Xuan make shots many times. His comprehension is good, and his cultivation base is now between the first-class and top-notch, which is enough to be called a master.

Moreover, Gao Jie is good at concealed weapons, even if he is facing top experts, if the opponent is unprepared, he is very likely to suffer a big loss.

Being able to injure Gao Jie like this shows that this person is definitely a top expert.

"Gao Ying, send someone to the government office to see if Lord Shen, the magistrate, is there?"

"Wait... find someone to go to Qianhu Villa, tell Miss Zhao Er, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Gao Ying nodded silently, and then went down to make arrangements.

Gao Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, Eldest Young Master..."

"Brother, he should be fine." Qi Xuan said expressionlessly, "If you want brother's life, just send a master on the way. Why bother pretending to be the prefect of Shen?"

Now that there is a deadly knife aura, it means that there are people from the Fujiwara family who did it.

"They" knew Qi Zong's identity and Qi Xuan's strength, but they still made a move.

Sure enough, good words can't persuade the damn ghost.

The coldness in Qi Xuan's eyes gradually gathered.

Now that they have chosen to start, how to end it is up to them!

……

Qi Xuan didn't wait until Gao Ying came back to report, but waited for Zhao Lingyue who had a bright smile on his face.

This time, she walked directly through the door.

After arriving at the lobby, he swept away the injured Gao Jie, then found a chair and sat down on his own, and asked Qi Xuan with a smile, "What happened?"

Qi Xuan said bluntly: "My elder brother was taken away by someone, and the person who shot him should be from the Fujiwara family."

"Your elder brother has come to the capital?" Zhao Lingyue's eyes flashed brightly, and the smile on her face continued, "So it seems that he is the newly appointed Admiral of the Navy."

"I understand!" Before Qi Xuan could speak, Zhao Lingyue sighed softly, "If you want to do anything, just do it, I'm here to ensure that nothing will happen to the Qi family."

Qi Xuan showed a smile when he heard the words: "Thank you!"

Those people no longer cared about Qi Xuan's threat and moved his hands against Qi's family.

Now that Gao Jie was injured, if he left, only Gao Ying would be left with the Qi Mansion, if those people really wanted to do something, it would be a piece of cake.

After thinking about it, it seems that Zhao Lingyue is the only one who can hold the scene and trust her.

"So I said earlier, there are some things you can't escape." The smile on Zhao Lingyue's face was still bright, "Unless you can abandon all your family members and find a place where there is no one to be a turtle."

Qi Xuan was silent when he heard the words.

It was hard for him to blame his eldest cousin for causing trouble.

One cannot pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold mother.

The generous life that I had since I was a child was given by the Hou Mansion.

And those who maintain the Hou's mansion are the grandfather, uncle and eldest cousin who are above the court.

Not wanting to cause trouble doesn't mean being a coward.

Now Qi Xuan has to do two things.

First, rescue the big cousin.

Second, let those people know that I am very angry and the consequences are serious!
