Embers of Sword

Chapter 57: The Sin of Xuan Yi
Xie Xuanyi took a Ruyi Order from Jiang Qihu and used it for contact.

Then he returned to the inn and simply settled Deng Baiyi, Jiang Huang, and everyone else in the Deng family.

Although the Demon Kingdom was eager to get the confirmed news of the "Bai Ze Secret Realm".

But after all, Jiang Qihu had just rushed here from the imperial city, and now he must be watched by thousands of eyes... After finishing the night banquet with King Youhai, he led his men into the river.

Such an action is indeed too eye-catching.

The Imperial City Bureau has placed fly pupils in Lichao City, so the Demon Country may not be without eyes.

Just to be on the safe side.

The time of entering the river can only be slightly delayed.

It just so happens that the Imperial City Bureau is preparing the materials for the formation pattern, which will take some time.

The second day was approaching dusk.

After Jiang Qihu finished dealing with a bunch of trivial matters, he sent his divine thoughts to Xie Xuanyi.

The two met at the Jiang family mansion, and then went to Lichao River together.

Xie Xuanyi was still dressed in black this time, but he added a hat to cover his face. He was now a guest of the Jiang family, and when he followed Jiang Qihu, he naturally kept a low profile, the better.

Wherever Jiang Qihu's carriage passed, people retreated.

It can be seen that the people in Da Chu both respect and fear the so-called "Imperial City Administration" and try to avoid it as much as possible.

This scene caught Xie Xuanyi's attention.

Xie Xuanyi slowly said: "Master Jiang, your reputation doesn't seem to be very good..."

Ten years ago, the Jiang family was well-known in Qingzhou. Jiang Qihu's succession as the young master of the family also caused a great sensation, and the response was very good at the time.

Today, things seem to have changed a lot.

What happened over the years?
"Why should I, Jiang Qihu, explain my actions to others?"

Jiang Qihu spoke nonchalantly.

Since getting on the bus, he has been alone with his eyes closed to rest.

When one cultivates to Jiang Qihu’s level, one can see clearly what is happening in the surrounding area without opening his eyes, and know every little thing like the back of his hand.

Xie Xuanyi thought silently for a moment, then asked softly, "Is it because of 'Xie Xuanyi'?"

Jiang Qihu suddenly opened his eyes.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold, and the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division emanated a strong sense of oppression.

Xie Xuanyi did not look at Jiang Qihu.

He lifted the car curtain and silently looked at the pedestrians on the side of the road, looking at the disgust and disdain hidden deep in their pupils.

Xie Xuanyi was very familiar with these gazes.

"Ten years ago, the traitor Xie Xuanyi fled northward. You led people to pursue him, but not only did you fail to capture Xie Xuanyi, you chose to shelter him... Although the Imperial City did not pursue this matter, this action not only ruined the reputation of the Jiang family as a loyal and brave family, but also brought shame to the entire Qingzhou."

"From now on, you can no longer stay in Qingzhou. You can only go to the Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi spoke in a low voice and slowly asked, "Master Jiang... is this true?"

"call."

Jiang Qihu placed his fists on his knees, clenched them tightly, and trembled slightly.

He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Jia Liu, don't challenge my bottom line. If the master hadn't told me that you are very important, this punch would have smashed your head."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his hat silently and said no more.

He certainly didn't say these words to "provoke".

ten years.

For a full ten years, he disappeared from this world. He could only guess what happened to Jiang Qihu... Judging from Jiang Qihu's reaction, he should have guessed right.

Because he saved himself, Jiang Qihu was implicated.

Xie Xuanyi had a lot to say.

But at this moment, I couldn't utter even a word.

I can't say it out loud.

"I don't care how people in the world view me. My bottom line is the Jiang family's reputation."

The silence in the carriage was broken by a steady and honest voice.

Jiang Qihu said expressionlessly: "The Jiang family has never done anything wrong, and neither have I... From the beginning to the end, Xie Xuanyi has not been a traitor, and the so-called 'sheltering and harboring' is completely false. One day, I will clear his name and prove the innocence of the Jiang family!" "......?" Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Qihu with a complicated expression, his voice a little hoarse.

"Do you believe that Xie Xuanyi is innocent?"

These words had a different meaning to Jiang Qihu's ears.

"nature!"

Jiang Qihu sneered and said, "Not only do I believe it, my husband also believes it. Everyone knows that Xie Xuanyi and my sister Jiang Miaoyin are childhood sweethearts who grew up together... How many people in the world know him better than me?"

Xie Xuanyi's whole body suddenly froze.

"Forget it. There's nothing much to say to a scumbag like you who can't stand the light."

Jiang Qihu stopped there. He knew that Jialiu's identity was fake, his face was fake, and probably nothing on his body was real.

If it weren’t for the gentleman’s instructions.

He would never cooperate with such a guy of unknown origin!

But for the greater cause, we can only tolerate it for now.

"Although the master warned me not to lay hands on you, you'd better remember..."

The carriage jolted and stopped. Jiang Qihu warned coldly: "I, Jiang Qihu, am a rough man! If you really do something that I cannot tolerate, even if the master tries to stop you, I will not forgive you!"

Although it was a stern reprimand.

But these words make people feel warm inside.

Xie Xuan's expression under his hat was mixed with sadness and emotion.

Ten years have passed, and Jiang Qihu is still the same.

This guy really hasn't changed at all.

A stupid tiger.

……

……

It was quiet at the pier on the Lichao River.

This place has been controlled by three major forces. In fact, before the big tide came in previous years, the Chu family would clear out irrelevant people.

But this year is even more special.

The Bai Ze Secret Realm is about to be unveiled, and the supervision of Li Chaojiang is ten or even a hundred times stricter than before!
Xie Xuanyi only took one look and knew that he was wise not to force his way in that night when he met Lu Yuzhen...

The defense here is extremely tight, not even a mosquito can fly out!

Without proof of identity, don't even think about entering Lichaojiang.

Jiang Qihu revealed his identity, asked for a small boat, and sailed towards the center of the river with Xie Xuanyi. This boat was considered a semi-treasure and did not require a boatman. There were water-repelling array patterns engraved inside the hull, and it could be operated as long as Yuanli was injected into it.

"Here."

Jiang Qihu pulled out a waist bag and threw it to Xie Xuanyi.

"This is……"

Xie Xuanyi took the heavy bag. This bag was also engraved with array patterns and had a cave inside that could hold a lot of objects.

"The materials you want."

Jiang Qihu calmed down and said coldly: "If you kept your mouth shut in the car, you would have gotten these things half an hour earlier."

Xie Xuanyi was silent for a while.

He checked the bag and found that all the materials in the list were ready... I have to say that the Imperial City Bureau is very efficient. It only took half a day to collect all the materials.

"The 'poison' that Venerable Longmu has set up is called 'Hurry Sea Splitting Heart'."

Jiang Qihu put his hands behind his back and said quietly, "The master said that if you are not sure you can solve this problem, you can contact the bookstore at any time."

"enough."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head.

Before getting the exact information from the library, Xie Xuanyi had also guessed at several types of soul poison.

The Hunhai Liexin Gu is one of them.
