Embers of Sword

Chapter 288: Fang Yuan
Ao Ying's retreat and promotion to the Demon Lord was a good thing for Xie Xuanyi.

Under the deception of the Sword Gu, the two concluded a soul contract. The higher the realm of this demon girl, the greater the help she would provide in the demon country.

previous life.

Although Xie Xuanyi killed many demon cultivators, he did not touch the root of the demon country.

In the Battle of Drinking Poison, Venerable Lian of Dasui Sword Palace died, and countless cultivators of the human race died at the hands of the demon cultivators.

Starting a counterattack is not something Xie Xuanyi can control.

But with Ao Ying's help, when the time is right, there is still a good chance of killing a great master...

After the communication with Ao Ying ended, Xie Xuanyi's token vibrated again.

This time, it was not the Lotus Order that vibrated, but the Ruyi Order.

The person who sent the message was Chen Jingxuan.

……

……

The mist curled and spread.

Shrouded in the wishful illusion, Xie Xuanyi stepped into the library with his spiritual body.

"Have you met His Majesty?"

The young imperial teacher waved his sleeves and motioned the other party to sit down, then he went straight to the point and asked.

"I've seen it before."

Xie Xuanyi didn't hesitate and sat down: "The little girl is quite interesting."

“It’s not easy to live in the imperial city.”

Chen Jingxuan sighed softly: "It is not easy for her to live to this day as a woman."

"Isn't this you, Mr. Chen?"

Xie Xuanyi asked indirectly, "I came back from the Northern Hunting Camp, but I didn't see you send me any message. Are you busy with something?"

"There is indeed some trouble."

Chen Jingxuan smiled.

The trouble that can entangle the young national teacher is probably not a small trouble.

But... Chen Jingxuan didn't say much, it seemed that he didn't want to reveal it.

So Xie Xuanyi stopped asking any more questions.

"I didn't send you a message because I knew you were fine." Chen Jingxuan explained seriously, "You have many trivial matters to deal with when you return to the Imperial City. So I will send you the message of Ruyi Ling after you finish your work."

"Tsk..."

Xie Xuanyi couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of the young imperial teacher, he is not only able to divine the mysteries of the world, but is also considerate.

"You may not know that before the assassination in Yueyinjie, Emperor Chu left behind a pair of children."

Chen Jingxuan raised his sleeves and waved his hand in the library illusion. A golden tablet flew over and landed steadily on the jade table.

"Chu Yin, Chu Guo."

The golden tablet emitted golden light, reflecting two blurry faces. Under the catalysis of Chen Jingxuan's divine consciousness, the two faces gradually changed, from tender babies to growing up little by little. This was the growth experience of the two children for more than ten years... Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes. Chu Yin was the little emperor sitting on the throne now. Because he was still young, he only looked a little feminine.

Not many people have noticed anything wrong yet.

But after some time, it’s hard to say.

Some lies can only last for a while, not forever.

"cause and effect……"

Xie Xuanyi murmured softly: "Did you come up with this name?"

"It is."

Chen Jingxuan nodded. "Their mother had a connection with the library. Before she entered the palace, I saved her life and taught her some fortune-telling techniques..."

Speaking of which.

There was a hint of sadness in the young national teacher's eyes.

The art of divination can shorten one’s life and damage one’s vitality.

"The words 'cause and effect' can be considered as a kind of tribute to the library..."

The young national teacher laughed at himself and said, "The library emphasizes the cycle of cause and effect and karma. So I saved this pair of lonely siblings, but fate is a trick, and Jingxuan can only do so much. The assassination case in Yueyin Realm shocked the Chu Dynasty. At that time, the Holy Queen was looking for the lady of Wangyou Island. Through the Tianji hexagram, she confirmed that Emperor Chu had left a bloodline... In order to protect them and to repay the karmic barrier of that year, I can only give up one person."

"So... Chu Yin sat on the throne, and Chu Guo was sent to Dali."

Xie Xuanyi understood the cause and effect of the whole incident.

"good."

Chen Jingxuan said calmly: "Why did you send Chu Guo away? I think you know the reason."

If my eldest sister stays here, there is still a glimmer of hope.

If it was my younger brother, there would be no chance of survival.

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly: "The Holy Queen doesn't know about the existence of Chu Guo?"

"A few years ago, I had a long-distance contact with the lady from Wangyou Island. The fortune teller must not reveal all the secrets of heaven." Chen Jingxuan said, "It takes a lot of effort to calculate the dragon veins left by the Great Chu Emperor, so this divination is neither complete nor comprehensive. The Holy Queen is in charge of the Great Chu Dynasty, and the government and the four regions are almost under her control... The existence of Chu Guo should be considered one of the few things that can be hidden from her."

After listening to this, Xie Xuanyi sneered: "You are really bold."

"Just do what needs to be done."

Chen Jingxuan shook his head. He turned to the main topic: "In the past few years, Dali has been in turmoil. The old king has been bedridden, recovering from illness for many years. He has no intention of paying attention to the affairs of the court and the country, so he allowed the two factions under his command to fight each other... If Chu Guo continues to stay there, he may be in danger."

Xie Xuanyi smiled when he heard this. He knew that the Ruyi Order must have been because of the incident at Hongting.

"I know."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Someone needs to take His Highness Chu Guo back to the court. It is not convenient for you to come forward, and it is even more inconvenient for the little emperor."

"..."

Chen Jingxuan sighed helplessly: "Actually, I shouldn't have bothered you with this matter. It's just that there have been a lot of unexpected things recently."

"It doesn't matter."

Xie Xuanyi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Where is Chu Guo? I will go to Dali and bring him back."

"This matter is not that simple. Let me explain it slowly."

Chen Jingxuan clenched his fist in front of his lips and coughed softly.

His face turned pale.

This is the case with all those who monitor the sky. Because they spy on the secrets of heaven and overdraw their destiny, they are plagued by diseases all year round, and their illnesses are chronic and cannot be cured.

"You should have guessed it. Fangyuanfang is divided into north and south. This newly emerging force actually grew up under the joint watchful eyes of the royal families of the two dynasties."

Chen Jingxuan raised his head and looked straight at Xie Xuanyi.

Xie Xuanyi had guessed this a long time ago.

Fangyuanfang is extremely neat and extremely contradictory.

The Lord of Snow and the Lord of Wood stayed in the Da Chu Dynasty, while the other two small masters were in Dali.

As for the two great abbots, they are mysterious.

"I've always been curious, who is behind Fangyuanfang?"

Xie Xuanyi asked curiously, "Who on earth is so capable that he can make the two dynasties put aside their past grudges and jointly establish this power?"

"Fangyuanfang has two great masters. The one from Dali is the Imperial Master of Mechanical Engineering who is proficient in the art of the mystical."

Chen Jingxuan smiled softly: "Guess who is on Da Chu's side?"

Fangyuanfang pays attention to the neatness of parallelism, one square and one circle. The one on Dali is the Xuanwei Imperial Master...

The only one left on Da Chu's side was the owner of the library.

Xie Xuanyi was a little shocked, but then he was relieved. This was indeed the most reasonable explanation. Only the old imperial master could allow Fangyuanfang to move freely within the imperial city. However, what Fangyuanfang has done in recent years does not seem to be the work of the old imperial master... The people who run Fangyuanfang are more like young people.

"Many years ago, my teacher and the Dali State Master made a bet."

Chen Jingxuan said slowly: "Fangyuanfang is the product of this bet... Dali State Master pessimistically believes that in the next sixty years, there will be fighting between the two dynasties, and Dali Iron Cavalry will sooner or later meet Dachu in battle. My teacher actually holds the same attitude as him, but he prefers to believe that as long as the two of them and their disciples are willing to work hard, then Dali and Dachu can maintain long-term peace. For both parties, peace is of course the best outcome, but no one can say how long this peace can last."

"So Fangyuanfang was born under such circumstances. Dachu and Dali can trade with each other through Fangyuanfang."

"If Fangyuanfang can be run profitably and sustainably, then it will be divided into two and given to each successor as a witness to the bet. If one day, peace is no longer there and a war breaks out, then competition will begin within Fangyuanfang. The final winner will win the entire Fangyuanfang."

Xie Xuanyi frowned and listened silently.

Fangyuanfang, so this is how it came about...

According to this statement, the chief abbot of Da Chu will be Chen Jingxuan in the future?

"and many more."

Thinking of this, Xie Xuanyi suddenly had a puzzlement: "So half of Fangyuanfang's assets belong to you?"

"You can say that."

Chen Jingxuan nodded.

"That……"

Xie Xuanyi asked meaningfully, "What biographies did Qin Baihuang write?"

"This is the other half's fault."

Chen Jingxuan said with a dark face: "This is where the problem lies. You should be able to see that there are all kinds of people in Fangyuanfang. The Wood Lord and the Snow Lord are not of the same kind at all. The so-called mutual exchange between Da Chu and Da Li has turned into mutual infiltration in recent years..."

Human nature cannot stand the test.

If there is peace, there will be harmony within Fangyuanfang.

If it's not peaceful.

The two successors who are about to take over the position of Grand Master must try their best to seize the entire Fangyuanfang into their own hands.

"No wonder."

Xie Xuanyi murmured, and finally understood why the Lord of Wood wanted to go against him before they even met.

Because the Wood Lord represents the opinions of the ruler of Dali!

The reason why the Snow Lord helped so much...

It’s because behind the Snow Lord stands the little emperor, Chen Jingxuan!

"Due to the existence of Fangyuanfang, there are almost no secrets in Dachu and Dali." Chen Jingxuan sighed and said, "For the two kings, this is actually a good thing. They can see more clearly than before... But for me, it is not a good thing."

"Fangyuanfang's power is even greater than you think."

Chen Jingxuan said seriously: "This was originally just an unintentional bet between the two state masters, but under the deliberate cultivation of the two kings, it became bigger and bigger, and eventually even enveloped the two dynasties..."

This is why.

Fangyuanfang is aware of any movement in the martial arts world.

Not so much.

The two great masters behind Fangyuanfang were imperial masters of two dynasties.

rather say.

The real driving force behind Fangyuanfang is the Holy Queen, the Lord of Dali Kingdom!
