Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 365: Cihang Sword Canon
After You Chuhong led the Dugu clan and others away, the other people from the underworld who came to watch the fun also left one after another.

They originally sensed unusual weather conditions and thought that a valuable treasure had appeared in the world, so they gathered at the Wulou Temple.

But Huang Sixi defeated Chao Gongcuo easily, showing his superior martial arts. Even if there were any rare treasures in Wulou Temple, they would become Huang Sixi's possession, and no one else could get their hands on them. Naturally, there was no point in staying there.

Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu even guessed that the rare treasure was on Huang Sixi. In order to avoid misunderstanding, they did not contact Huang Sixi and left Wulou Temple with the crowd.

Soon, apart from the monks from Wulou Temple, only Huang Sixi, Fan Qinghui and a few others were left in the courtyard.

Fan Qinghui witnessed Huang Sixi's mighty martial arts competition with his own eyes, and knew that Huang Sixi's killing of Qu Ao and Zhu Yuyan was definitely not accidental. Looking at the entire martial arts world, perhaps Huang Sixi was the only one who had the ability to force the grandmaster to death.

Fan Qinghui has his own assessment that Huang Sixi should have become the de facto number one master in the world. Such an almost invincible person must not be offended easily.

Of course, since Huang Sixi made his debut, he has been dedicated to killing evil lords and bandits who bring disaster to the people. His actions are in line with the traditional style of righteous people. As the leader of the righteous path, Fan Qinghui believes that Huang Sixi will not vent his anger on others and kill dissidents even if she disagrees with Huang Sixi.

However, Fan Qinghui still had to explain to Huang Sixi his action of rescuing Chao Gongcuo just now to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

She waited for You Chuhong to leave the temple, and she had already thought of her words. She stepped forward and spoke frankly to Huang Sixi: "Since the Li family started the rebellion, they have put order out of chaos and provided relief to the poor. They have also disciplined their troops and not allowed them to plunder. Every time they pass through a place, officials, soldiers, gentry and common people all devote themselves to serving the people!"

This was the war situation she observed when she was outside providing relief to disaster victims. The Li family not only won the hearts of the locals, but also left a good impression on her.

She added earnestly, "The Li clan has more conditions to seize the world than other rebel armies. I don't want Lord Jiang Long to have a serious conflict with them, which will eventually lead to suffering for the people. That's why I ask Lord Jiang Long to show mercy. It would be best if Chao Gongcuo could be spared so as to give the Li clan some room to maneuver. Speaking of which, Chao Gongcuo was seduced by the Queen Yin, and I have always despised his character!"

Her attitude is very clear, she is doing it for the public good and not for her own personal gain.

The tone of her speech was sincere and frank, which made people feel not repulsive.

Hong Fu Nu did not want to embarrass Huang Sixi, so she quickly stated: "Mr. Chao died at my hands, it has nothing to do with Mr. Huang, you can let the Li family blame me!"

Fan Qinghui shook her head at her: "It's useless. The Li family will only misjudge Jiang Long Langjun as a great enemy and a threat!"

Hong Fu Nu wanted to say something else, but Huang Sixi waved his hand to stop her.

He calmly revealed to Fan Qinghui: "Lord Li Jing exposed Yang Wengan and Jingzhao's conspiracy to rebel. This was entrusted by me, and I must ensure his safety! If Chao Gongcuo is not dead, he may still assassinate Lord Li Jing in the future. Today, I will not let Chao Gongcuo go no matter what!"

When Hong Fu heard this, she was deeply moved.

This morning she did not find Huang Sixi in the inn. She was worried that Huang Sixi would quit the city and leave the mess to Li Jing. Now it seems that she was worrying too much. Huang Sixi was a man of his word. If he said he would protect Li Jing, he would definitely do so.

At this time, Li Jing and Kankan had already jumped off the roof of the hall and walked to Huang Sixi.

Li Jing dragged his weak body and clasped his fists to Huang Sixi, saying, "I am grateful for Mr. Huang's care, but it is my duty to expose Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian. Regardless of whether Mr. Huang has entrusted me to do so, I will report it to the court!"

Fan Qinghui didn't care about Li Jing, he was just a small figure.

But Fan Qinghui attached great importance to any statement made by Huang Sixi. She frowned and asked, "Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian participated in the rebellion under the secret order of the Li family, but Jianglong Langjun wants to expose them. Do you want to prevent the Li family from taking control of the capital?"

She had to figure this out.

Huang Sixi said: "I am not interested in targeting the Li family specifically!"

Fan Qinghui thought that there must be another story behind it. She remembered the abnormal weather in Wulou Temple and guessed that Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian had affected Huang Sixi's search for the secret treasure. That's why she used Li Jing to put Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian in jail.

However, even if Huang Sixi did not have any subjective hostility towards the Li family, he did cause the consequence of hostility.

She immediately explained the situation to Huang Sixi: "The Li clan originally wanted to capture the capital in one fell swoop, but you, Lord Jiang Long, killed Chao Gongcuo, which will definitely make the Li clan wary and delay the plan to attack the capital! The current situation in the world is corrupt and the people are in dire straits. The Li clan has the conditions to restore order..."

Hearing her righteous tone, Xianxian couldn't help but interrupt: "How do you know that the Li family won't become another Yang Guang after becoming emperor? When Yang Guang first ascended the throne, he also worked hard to govern the country, making the world think that he was a wise ruler. But what happened? Wasn't he still cruel and tyrannical?"

Apart from Huang Sixi, Kankan doesn't believe that any force will truly treat the people well.

She leaned against Huang Sixi's side, her beautiful eyes cast deep affection on him, and she held Huang Sixi's right hand with her jade palm, and said to Fan Qinghui: "The master said that the Li family did not rob the people. It's not that they don't want to rob, but it's just a means to win the hearts of the people. If they really take over the country and sit firmly, they will definitely be extravagant and lustful!

Who among the aristocratic families doesn't bully the people? Do you really think they conquered the world for the people? When Li Yuan, the leader of the Li family, started his army, he shamelessly pledged his loyalty to the Turkic Khan Shibi and promised to give his children and treasures obtained from the war to the Turks. Do you think Li Yuan will treat the people well in the future?"

Hong Fu Nu felt that what Qian Qian said hit the nail on the head, and agreed, "If we really compare the two, then it's Dou Jiande of Hebei who is the most benevolent. He reduced taxes in his territory, was lenient and caring for the people, and didn't collude with the Turks. Li Yuan is far inferior to him!"

Fan Qinghui was speechless for a moment. The Turks had millions of soldiers, like a butcher's knife lying across the northern border, and could invade the south at any time. She knew that Li Yuan was compromising and showing weakness to the Turks in order to prevent them from interfering with the Li family's unification of the world. This was a stopgap measure.

As for the rebel leader Dou Jiande, Fan Qinghui had not yet contacted him. She had originally planned to visit the area under Dou Jiande's jurisdiction in the north after the war with the Li clan was over, but it was not convenient to reveal this to outsiders.

She tried her best to prevent the conflict between Huang Sixi and the Li family from deepening, and her actions were without any selfish motives, but since the people around Huang Sixi did not like the Li family, she stopped saying anything.

She put the Li family aside and asked Huang Sixi, "I heard from Qingxuan that the Dragon Lord rushed to the capital this time mainly to look for me. What was it about?"

Huang Sixi said: "This matter needs to be discussed privately!"

Fan Qinghui pointed eastward and said, "Why don't you follow me back to Yuhe Temple so we can talk in detail?"

Huang Sixi also meant this, but he was in no hurry to leave: "I need to treat Lord Li's injuries, please wait for a moment! If you feel it is inconvenient to stay here, you can go back to Yuhe Temple first, and I will visit you later!"

Fan Qinghui felt that Huang Sixi must have some confidential matters to instruct Li Jing after healed his wounds, and it was not appropriate for her to stay and listen, so she said, "I will go back to Yuhe Temple and wait for Lord Jianglong!"

After she finished speaking, she waved to Shi Qingxuan, indicating that Shi Qingxuan should leave with her.

Shi Qingxuan originally wanted to stay with Huang Sixi, but when she saw that Kankan's attitude towards Huang Sixi was a little different and seemed too intimate, she became sensitive and guessed that Huang Sixi and Kankan might have had some intimate experience last night.

In the past two months, she and Kankan have been together day and night and inseparable. She knows very well that Kankan has true feelings for Huang Sixi. In fact, she has long had a premonition that Kankan and Huang Sixi will make their relationship as lovers clear.

When this day really came, Shi Qingxuan felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost the most important and precious thing in her life.

She knew it was time for her to leave Huang Sixi and Qian Qian. It was no longer appropriate for her to stay with them. She said goodbye to Huang Sixi and Qian Qian, "Brother and Sister Qian Qian, you guys stay busy here first. I'm going with my uncle!"

Wan Wan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Xuan, please don't leave. Wan Er will tell you what happened last night."

Kanan didn't care whether Shi Qingxuan agreed or not. She pulled Shi Qingxuan's hand, walked to the side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something to Shi Qingxuan.

Even though Shi Qingxuan wanted to leave, she really wanted to know what Huang Sixi and Kankan did last night. Kankan was willing to tell her, and she really couldn't refuse to find out.

She gave Fan Qinghui an awkward smile and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Master, I can't leave for the moment. I'll go to Yuhe Temple with Brother Xian and Sister Xian to find you later!"

Fan Qinghui was stunned. She was a little surprised about the relationship between Shi Qingxuan, Kankan and Huang Sixi.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kankan was more affectionate and devoted to Huang Sixi, and Huang Sixi was also very fond of Kankan, so it seemed inappropriate for Shi Qingxuan to be around the two of them.

But Shi Qingxuan was not a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, and Fan Qinghui had not met Shi Qingxuan many times, so they were not close friends. Even though Fan Qinghui felt that something was inappropriate, he did not interfere with Shi Qingxuan's behavior.

She said two words to Shi Qingxuan: "Okay!"

Wait until Fan Qinghui leaves.

Huang Sixi signaled Hong Funu to support Li Jing and return to the inn to heal his wounds.

Kankan and Shi Qingxuan did not follow, but left Wulou Temple and went shopping along Yong'an Canal.

Back in the guest room, Huang Sixi first cured Li Jing's injuries, and then said to Li Jing and Hong Funu: "I have finished my private affairs in the capital, and will leave the city soon. The Li family will not be able to find me in the future, and they may vent their anger on you for Chao Gongcuo's death. What are your plans for the future?"

Li Jing was not worried and said, "The Li family will not lose the big picture for the small. They were not clear about the situation before and could not prove the relationship between you and me, so they sent Chao Gongcuo to kill me. Now you are fighting Chao Gongcuo to the death to save me. The Li family has understood your attitude. Even if they break through the capital, they will definitely not dare to harm me! At most, they will not let me continue to be an official!"

Li Jing spoke lightly, but Hong Fu understood Li Jing's inner sense of loss. Li Jing was an ambitious man who longed to use the court stage to display his talents and ambitions. However, after the incident between Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian, Li Jing's path to becoming an official might be blocked.

When the Li clan captures the capital in the future, even if Li Jing is forgiven for his past mistakes, the Nanhai faction, which was recruited by the Li clan, will not let Li Jing go.

If Huang Sixi left the city, Li Jing would have no choice but to resign and live in seclusion.

Hong Fu Nu hoped that Li Jing would find another career, so she tried to ask Huang Sixi: "Where are you going to go in the future, my dear?"

Huang Sixi understood what she meant, and gave her and Li Jing a way out: "I have established a large academy in Bieshan. It lacks famous teachers to teach and impart knowledge. If you feel that it is not appropriate to continue staying in the capital, you can settle down in Bieshan Academy!"

Without hesitation, she asked Li Jing with a smile, "Husband, how about we follow my husband out of the capital and go to the academy to have a look first?"

Li Jing was reluctant to leave the center of power in the world, but the current situation did not allow him to be obsessed with officialdom. After Huang Sixi left the capital, his situation would be extremely dangerous. Although the Li family would not harm him out of fear of Huang Sixi, his family would not be spared.

He agreed to Hong Fu's proposal and said to Huang Sixi, "If you don't mind, Hong Fu and I are willing to visit the academy!"

"Then let's settle it this way first!"

Huang Sixi asked the couple to go back and arrange their departure from Beijing: "I am going to visit Master Fanzhai. After I come back, we will discuss the specific date of departure from Beijing!"

Li Jing and Hong Fu had no objection and said goodbye together.

Huang Sixi then found Kankan and Shi Qingxuan, and they went to Yuhe Temple together.

When they arrived at the nunnery, Kanan and Shi Qingxuan went to the side room and continued talking about last night's exploration of Yang Gong's treasure house.

Huang Sixi was invited by Fan Qinghui into a Zen room.

Huang Sixi went straight to the point and said he wanted to exchange the original volume of "Cihang Sword Canon".

After hearing this, Fan Qinghui did not think that Huang Sixi was coveting the martial arts of Cihang Jingzhai. The "Cihang Sword Canon" might have a fatal attraction to other masters in the world, but it was of little value to a grandmaster of Huang Sixi's level.

Fan Qinghui did not understand Huang Sixi's behavior: "Even if you practice the Cihang Sword Canon to the peak level, it is still not as good as your divine palm strike, Lord Jianglong. Isn't it a bit redundant for you to want the Cihang Sword Canon?"

"I have another use for it!" Huang Sixi took out the "Eternal Life Secret" that he had prepared for a long time and placed it on the coffee table next to him:

"This is the Taoist supreme treasure, the 'Eternal Life Secret', which has been sought after by everyone in the martial arts world in recent years. I am willing to exchange this secret for your 'Cihang Sword Canon'!"

"Does the Secret of Immortality have the Dragon King with you?" Fan Qinghui was very surprised:

"It is said that this ancient treasure book was obtained by two young men from Yangzhou, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Could it be that the rumors are wrong?"

"That's right! The Secret of Immortality was first in the hands of Shi Long, the mountain pusher. Later, Shi Long was killed by Yu Wenzhi. Before he died, he entrusted the treasure to his good friend Tian Wen!" Huang Sixi told the story truthfully:

"Tian Wen got the treasure book and tried to escape from Yangzhou City, but it was stolen by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Yu Wenzhi therefore hunted Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling down. The two teenagers were saved by the Korean swordsman Fu Jun'er on the way to escape, but Fu Jun'er died at the hands of Yu Wenzhi. Out of guilt, the two buried the treasure book next to Fu Jun'er's grave, and later I got it!"

Fan Qinghui picked up the book on the coffee table, glanced at the cover, but did not read the contents.

She picked up the book and shook it towards Huang Sixi: "The Secret of Immortality is woven with black gold thread, so this is not the original volume, right?"

Huang Sixi nodded: "It is indeed a copy, but I guarantee that the content is exactly the same as the original volume!"

Fan Qinghui pondered for a moment and replied, "Then I can only exchange a copy of my work with you. That's fair!"

Huang Sixi's request for a copied copy was useless: "I only need the original volume of the Cihang Sword Canon. If it is a copied copy, then I won't exchange it!"

Fan Qinghui immediately grasped the key point: "So, Lord Jianglong, what you want is not the sword method of the Cihang Sword Canon, but the original volume of the book?"
