Embers of Sword

Chapter 184 Entering the game
"???"

Qin Wanyang had a gloomy expression. When he saw the black shadow coming towards him, he quickly stepped back.

what's the situation?
How did it hit me? !
Qin Wanyang retreated very quickly.

But Xie Xuanyi was faster. After knocking Lin Yu away, he did not stop there, but stepped forward and made a second attack!
Boom!
A muffled sound of a drum exploded.

Even though there were layers of formations emerging on the top of the Da Chu Imperial City, the physique of this eighth-level golden body warrior was so strong that he smashed the formations on the top of the city with overwhelming force and crashed into Qin Wanyang!

The young prince of the Qin Mansion turned pale instantly.

Fortunately, the "target" thrown by Lin Yu was not aimed completely at himself. After the second hit, this kite-like body with a broken string suddenly accelerated in the air, instantly brushed past Qin Wanyang's body, and flew out like a cannonball.

The robe fluttered and settled down.

In an instant.

The imperial city fell silent.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

"cough……"

The young prince, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, silently covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves, hiding his pale face, and looked back with a nervous look.

His expression was quite wonderful.

Qin Wanyang never expected this.

Lin Yu was actually beaten by Xie Zhen and embedded into the stone wall, unable to fight anymore.

Is this the end?
After all, he is a warrior with a golden body of the eighth level.

one move.

To be precise...it's actually two moves.

He was beaten unconscious?!

"I've always heard that the Qin family is a martial arts family."

Xie Xuanyi asked calmly, "Young Prince Qin's martial arts realm is quite impressive. At such a young age, he has already cultivated a golden body... I wonder if you want to ask me a question about boxing today?"

"..."

Qin Wanyang's face was full of fear.

He forced a smile and slowly took a step back: "Xie Zhen, brother, you are really amazing. Qin really admires you. Being here today is just a coincidence."

"coincide?"

Xie Xuanyi also laughed: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Qin Wanyang did not act like a little prince at all. He did not put on airs at all. He retreated while apologizing with a smile, "There is no coincidence in the world. Some things are just so coincidental. I heard that Brother Lin was coming to ask for a fight... Qin stopped by to join in the fun."

He is a smart man who can judge the situation.

I know I can't win, so I can't fight him head-on at this critical juncture.

But Xie Xuanyi did not give up his plan to teach the young prince of the Qin family a lesson. He continued to walk forward, his aura directly locking onto the young master.

"and many more--"

Qin Wanyang seemed to sense the lock of this sharp aura, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "Xie Zhen, you should know what the Qin family means, right?"

"Qin family? Of course I know."

As Xie Xuanyi approached, he smiled and said, "One of the three great kings of different surnames in Da Chu, a powerful and noble family second only to the royal family in the imperial city."

Qin Wanyang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You don't want to attack me here, do you?"

"why not?"

Xie Xuanyi paused and said softly, "You don't think that just because you are the young master of the Qin family, you don't have to be beaten if you do something wrong, do you?"

Qin Wanyang was completely stunned.

Only then did he realize that the guy he had provoked had just beaten up the prince of Jiangning Palace not long ago!
The Wang family, a family with a different surname, seems to be nothing to this guy with the surname Xie!
Moving out of the Qin family had the opposite effect!
Xie Xuanyi stretched out his hand.

The air above the imperial city froze.

Qin Wanyang wanted to escape, but because of the locked aura, his golden body could not escape Xie Xuanyi's control at all.

With just one grab, he rushed towards Xie Zhen uncontrollably.

This time.

Qin Wanyang began to panic.

He shouted towards a teahouse in the city, "Brother Wu Yue, how long are you going to see? Come and save me!!"

Wu Yue was the eldest senior brother who had won first place in the Wuzong Competition with a crushing victory a few days ago.

He was also the ruthless man who overwhelmed Lin Yu and made him convinced!
This statement came out.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously directed his mind to the direction where Qin Wanyang was calling.

The teahouse was bustling with people.

A thought swept across.

Xie Xuanyi did not feel "threatened".

By the time he realized he had fallen into a trap, it was already too late.

This moment allowed Qin Wanyang to escape the locked aura. The young master of the palace quickly pulled his hand away, broke the jade pendant around his neck, and threw it fiercely at Xie Zhen.

This is actually an eighth-grade treasure.

Just crush and use!

The lethality of this kind of treasure is several times that of treasures of the same level, but its disadvantage is also obvious - after it is made, it can only be used once.

There was a bang.

The jade pendant shattered into pieces and turned into countless sword auras, which crashed into the black-clothed young man who had already taken control of the situation above the city wall.

In just a moment, the top of the South Gate of Da Chu was shrouded in hundreds of sword qi, and the dense rain of swords was thrown down, covering the young man in black. Xie Xuanyi, who was tricked, had a gloomy expression. He snorted coldly, raised his foot and stomped lightly, the blue bricks shattered, and a circle of sword qi shook out from the ground, like an inverted bell, covering him.

The sword energy from the falling jade pendant hit Xie Xuanyi's own sword energy barrier, like drizzle falling to the ground.

This attack did not cause any harm to Xie Xuanyi.

But Qin Wanyang got what he wanted and had a chance to catch his breath.

He crushed the jade pendant, escaped the lock of the qi, and fled in the opposite direction without hesitation.

But the next moment, the young prince of the Qin family cried out and fell to the ground.

He looked up.

All I saw was a towering figure, like a mountain, standing in front of me.

……

...book building.

Jiang Qihu knelt in front of the jade table, his face full of grievance.

"Sir, Qi Hu doesn't understand."

He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and spoke with courage: "Xie Zhen is at least a disciple of the library. Even if he is just a 'hidden man' sent out by the master, he should be welcomed when he returns to the imperial city today."

Chen Jingxuan, who was sitting at the jade table, ignored the words and continued to flip through the book silently.

"Qi Hu knows that the master is busy and has no time to go out of the city to greet him."

Jiang Qihu said aggrievedly: "Qihu volunteered, did he make a mistake?"

"You are not allowed to go anywhere today."

Chen Jingxuan glanced at Benhu expressionlessly and said coldly, "Kneel here and grind ink for me."

Jiang Qihu looked conflicted.

But after a struggle between his conscience and his desire, he finally stepped forward obediently, took two steps on his knees, came to the master's inkstone, picked up a small pot of clear water, poured the water on the inkstone, and slowly unscrewed it with the ink stick.

He really couldn't resist the gentleman's order.

But Qihu found it difficult to suppress the inner struggle.

He spoke again: "Sir...I heard someone say that someone asked for a fight at the city gate. I guess the fight has already started by now."

Jiang Qihu is the second in command of the Imperial City Division.

All the trivial matters, big and small, happening in the streets and alleys of the Da Chu Imperial City will inevitably reach his ears.

The matter of Lin Yuwen's boxing was no secret. Through the hands of Mu Zhu and the spread of Fangyuanfang, it had already spread to every street and alley, and naturally was heard by Jiang Qihu.

"so?"

"So, I thought... I can't let Xie Zhen suffer any loss."

Jiang Qihu blinked, realizing that there was a play, and quickly smiled and said, "Mr. is very fond of Xie Zhen, Qihu can see it."

"Xie Zhen is at a disadvantage?"

Chen Jingxuan sneered, put down the book, and said calmly: "Don't worry... He won't suffer any loss."

Jiang Qihu sighed, "Even if Xie Zhen won't suffer any loss, it would be a good thing for me to bring some people to help him out, right?"

"Do you know who caused this trouble?"

Chen Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and spoke meaningfully.

Jiang Qihu fell silent.

He thought about it carefully for a long time and gave his answer: "Qin family?"

"Not too stupid."

Chen Jingxuan said with relief, "Although it was Wuzong Lin Yu who asked Xie Zhen about the boxing technique... Lin Yu's motivation for asking about the boxing technique came from Qin Wanyang, the young prince of the Qin family. Old Master Lin was seriously ill a while ago, and Qin Wanyang sent him the 'Shenyuan Pill'. The mastermind behind this inquiry about the boxing technique is the Qin family, and also Fangyuanfang."

Jiang Qihu said honestly: "Sir, Qihu knows all this."

"Since you know, how can you interfere?"

Chen Jingxuan scolded in a deep voice: "The Qin family is the guardian of the great Chu martial arts destiny, rooted in the imperial city for nearly a thousand years... If you rush to the scene today, have you ever thought about what identity you will enter with?"

"Of course, it's the Imperial City Division..."

Jiang Qihu fell silent halfway through his words.

The Imperial City Division is directly controlled by the Emperor of Da Chu.

If I show up in this kind of conflict and help Xie Zhen, how will His Majesty view me, a member of the Second Seat?
"Yishulou..."

Still not working.

The library is the gentleman's library.

By the same token, since I have caused trouble this time, I must not let you bear the consequences for me.

In the end, only one identity remains.

"If I rush to the scene, I can only enter as a member of the Jiang family."

Jiang Qihu's voice gradually became quieter.

"Are you worried that Mr. Jiang is in such good health that you can't wait to cause him some trouble?"

Chen Jingxuan said quietly, "Looking around the Imperial City, how many people can be as lucky as the Jiang family? The Holy Queen is willing to let you retire and return home because you are 'capable of great use' in the Imperial City. Once you get involved in this matter, you will stand on the opposite side of the Qin family. With the Jiang family's assets in Qingzhou, can they really compete with this thousand-year-old family?"

Jiang Qihu fell completely silent.

After a long time.

He asked cautiously, "Sir, are we just going to watch like this?"

"Of course not."

Chen Jingxuan said unhappily, "If I run into trouble, do I have to rely on you? If so, the library would have collapsed long ago."

Jiang Qihu blinked.

"This matter... has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think about it. Just kneel here."

Chen Jingxuan said calmly: "I have my own arrangements."

Jiang Qihu chuckled, scratched his head and said, "As expected of you, sir... But sir, Qihu always feels that today's question boxing is very strange, and there is a sense of conspiracy everywhere..."

"conspiracy?"

These two words, coming out of Jiang Qihu's mouth, were indeed somewhat funny.

Does this silly guy really know what conspiracy is?

Chen Jingxuan shook his head and said softly, "Of course, this matter is not that simple, but it is actually not as complicated as you think."

Say it.

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to write something.

It's just the moment when the pen touches the paper.

Chen Jingxuan suddenly had an idea.

Maybe Jiang Qihu is right.

Qin Wanyang, who had always been law-abiding, suddenly brought Fangyuanfang Wood Master today and instigated Lin Yu to ask Xie Zhen about boxing...

Is this matter serious? Is it as simple as asking about fists?
