Embers of Sword

Chapter 428 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Chen Jingxuan thought about it for a long time, but was unable to refute.

He did have many opportunities to say this, but in the past, he always felt that it was still early and the future was long.

So I chose to wait a little longer.

Wait a moment...

How many regrets in life come from this?
"Don't talk about me anymore."

The young imperial teacher waved his sleeves and said unhappily, "Xie Xuanyi, how much better are you than me? If Qi Hu knew your identity, he would definitely fight you to the death for his sister!"

One sentence to kill directly.

"...I shut up."

Xie Xuanyi sat in front of the green jade table, silently picked up the teacup, and drank tea instead of wine.

In this matter, he really had no right to criticize Chen Jingxuan.

"So you are pretending to be sick here to hide your identity... If I were you, I would not tolerate the Dao Sect's behavior."

Xie Xuanyi thought about it and said seriously: "I will definitely make Chongkan pay the price."

"This is the difference between you and me. Sitting in this position, there are many things to consider... You can't just ignore everything in anger and kill the Taoist sect directly, right?"

Chen Jingxuan said softly: "But there is one thing you and I are the same. I will also make Chongkan pay the price, but not now."

He slowly pushed out the second golden tablet on the jade table.

Xie Xuanyi probably understood why Chen Jingxuan was so weak.

This period of time.

This guy has used the [Hunyuan Instrument] quite a lot.

"The demons in the southern border are about to be wiped out. The Renshou Palace has appointed you to go south. The Dasui Sword Palace will definitely oppose it."

Chen Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Although the Holy Queen has not yet shown up, many forces in the Imperial City are waiting for the Dasui Sword Palace's 'resistance'... I sent Sang Zheng there tonight to avoid the intensification of the conflict."

Xie Xuanyi could foresee it.

If the eldest senior brother suppresses the imperial edict, what will the situation become next?

"This time, destroying the demons is not as simple as it seems."

Chen Jingxuan said: "After you fell into the North Sea, I have been investigating the truth of ten years ago... not just about the assassination case in the Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi's heart tightened.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to talk about the Hidden Moon Realm..."

"Do not."

Chen Jingxuan shook his head and said gently, "I believe you are innocent in this matter. I am more curious about the 'turmoil' that occurred after the assassination in Yueyinjie."

The Yueyinjie case that year plunged the entire imperial city into extreme chaos.

at the same time.

The place where the Da Chu royal family raised monsters was destroyed, and a large number of monsters escaped from their cages. Some fled far away, while others wreaked havoc in the city. The entire imperial city was set on fire, and the sea of fire spread... Xie Xuanyi had seen this scene in the Sea of Gods. It was too coincidental that these two things happened at the same time.

Jiang Huang was the "lucky one" who escaped from this turmoil.

"Over the years, I have investigated the secret files of the Imperial City Department."

Chen Jingxuan said: "The 'turmoil' ten years ago was suppressed by the Holy Queen with thunderous means... However, after the turmoil ended, the Imperial City Department only recorded a few words about it. This turmoil was defined as an 'accident'. The then head of the Imperial City Department and the chief of the Tanyi Guard were severely punished for this serious mistake and were exiled to the border."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head: "The marks are too heavy."

In his view, this was clearly a sign that the Holy Queen would ascend the throne and eliminate dissidents, and all "unclean" characters would have their wings clipped.

“History is just a little girl that can be smeared by anyone.”

Chen Jingxuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "It is impossible to find the truth from ten years ago in the secret files of the Imperial City Bureau. But I found something interesting."

Xie Xuanyi’s mind swept into the golden tablet.

A short figure wearing a wide white cloak, with an air of an immortal, swept into the sea of ​​mind along with his divine thoughts.

Chen Jingxuan said: "This is the eldest disciple of Yinshan Baigui, White Crane Taoist Ren Zhong."

Xie Xuanyi had no expression on his face: "I know."

He remembered the faces of all the disciples under Yinshan Baigui. "On the eve of the assassination in Yueyinjie, Ren Zhong appeared outside the imperial city."

Chen Jingxuan lowered his voice: "Very interesting... isn't it?"

Emperor Chu has always hated evil cultivators.

Before the Holy Queen came to power, the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang did not dare to go north.

Even those low-level ghost cultivators, who could not survive in the Ten Thousand Mountains and were forced to flee to the Da Chu Dynasty, wanted to try their luck and see if they could occupy a mountaintop, but they did not dare to set foot in Zhongzhou... These evil cultivators looked ferocious and brutal, but the higher their realm, the more they valued their lives.

How dare a "great monk" of Ren Zhong's status and position appear near the imperial city?
"At that time, he was already at the fifteenth level of Yin God."

Chen Jingxuan narrowed his eyes: "It is not easy to cultivate to this level. Even if Ren Zhong is crazy and wants to see the scenery of Zhongzhou, Bai Gui will probably not agree..."

There is only one possibility.

Before Emperor Chu passed away, the imperial city had already tacitly approved the emergence of "ghost cultivators".

In other words.

Ren Zuka's appearance was not an accident, but a necessity.

"I know you've lost a lot of memory."

Chen Jingxuan looked at the young man in front of him and asked with concern: "Think carefully, do you still remember what happened after you escaped from the imperial city?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi fell silent and pressed his forehead hard.

He tried hard to recall what happened after Chilin sent him to the carriage...

A bumpy ride.

total darkness.

In the darkness, one seemed to hear the sound of fierce fighting.

"Someone... is trying to kill me?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke uncertainly, he raised his head and looked at Chen Jingxuan blankly.

"Still can't remember?"

Chen Jingxuan felt a little regretful. He murmured, "I suspect that when Ren Zhong came to the Imperial City, he accepted the will of a certain important person and was ordered to end your life when the Imperial City was in turmoil. It's a pity that Ren Zhong's mission failed and you successfully escaped from the Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi couldn't remember the scene from that year.

But he had a premonition in his heart.

Chen Jingxuan’s inference...is very likely the truth!

I fled everywhere back then.

Countless enemies came to the door one after another.

The one who contributed the most was the Yinshan White Ghost!
"Big shot..."

The figure of the man from Renshou Palace appeared in Xie Xuanyi's mind. He laughed to himself and said, "Since you want to kill me, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Behind you is the Dasui Sword Palace and Zhao Chunyang."

Chen Jingxuan shook his head: "Anyone in this world who wants to kill you needs to think twice. If Zhao Chunyang fights desperately, no one can stand it."

Therefore, relying on Yinshan's help and wiping out Xie Xuanyi in the chaos is the best option.

From beginning to end.

The three major clans in southern Xinjiang are nothing but lackeys in the eyes of the Dachu royal family.

If it's useful, keep it.

If it is useless, throw it away.

It was like this ten years ago, and it is still like this ten years later.

"Besides Yinshan, there is one more thing."

Chen Jingxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I suspect that among those allies who openly support Dasui Sword Palace, there are hidden enemies...When you were hunted down, Yinshan was in the open, and they were in the dark. This time, when we are exterminating the demons, I'm afraid these people will use the same old tricks again and kill people with borrowed knives."
