"What's going on with this guy?" Everyone came up to Chu Qingxiao and looked at Zhu Quan's leaving figure. They all felt a little baffled.
"If I had known, why did I spend so much effort to help him?" Yue Jian muttered: "After finally helping him solve Ma Yingjie, he has to plead guilty himself? Isn't this help in vain?"
"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Has he forgotten how his father died?" Ziyu also rarely agreed with Yue Jian's point of view and echoed.
"What do you mean by what he just said?" Chu Zhaozhao also walked up to Chu Qingxiao and asked with a frown.
Chu Qingxiao shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand it too well, but since he thinks it's right, let him go."
"What Uncle Zhu was worried about during his lifetime was that he would act recklessly, be cheated by a bitch, and end up dying unexpectedly."
"Now that he has experienced so much, he is already willing to choose this path, or maybe this is the right path for him..."
Chu Zhaozhao could tell that although Chu Qingxiao spoke in a relaxed tone, there was still some worry in her tone. She frowned and said: "I heard someone say that the leader of the Mirror Tower seems to be called Mr. Meng. I'm sorry.
I can accompany you to meet him, and maybe you can find out whether he is just a person seeking fame or reputation, or whether he has real talent and learning, and also find out whether Zhu Quan has been deceived."
Chu Qingxiao nodded helplessly after hearing this.
Although he was indeed worried about Zhu Quan, after all, he and Zhu Quan just met by chance and helped him get revenge. In the final analysis, more deacons were just unhappy with the encounter with Zhu Renzhao. He was already extremely benevolent to him. If Zhu Quan was determined to go astray
, then there is no need for him to keep wasting energy for Zhu Quan.
"I think that guy has a bit of magnanimity. There's something very strange about him..." At this moment, Meng Ziliang, who was on the side, suddenly came over and said seriously.
Hearing this, Ziyu glanced at him and asked angrily: "Do you still have the ability to read people's faces?"
"Then tell me, what wonderful things does he have?"
"It's hard to explain, it's just a kind of Qi..." Meng Ziliang said with a frown, and then added: "Just like the Qi in this young master, he is born to be different, and is destined to become the leader of swordsmanship in the world.
The breath of."
"Of course, his energy is much weaker than that of my master."
Meng Ziliang spoke seriously, and everyone on the side felt confused when they heard it. Even his sister Meng Jin felt embarrassed and stepped aside with her face covered.
As everyone said this, the haze that had shrouded everyone's minds due to Zhu Renzhao's death had dissipated a lot, and they started joking and joking again. The small courtyard was filled with everyone's laughter. Of course, there would still be Yue Jian and Yue Jian from time to time.
The two people who didn't deal with each other complained that Ziyu was untimely.
Lu Sandao, who was sitting at the stone table drinking, glanced at everyone in the room, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She suddenly stood up, holding a wine jar in one hand, and walked slowly to the door of the small courtyard.
There, the old man was leaning against a wicker chair as before, with a teapot beside him and the sword in his arms, stroking it gently.
He didn't seem to notice Lu Sandao's arrival, he just sat there with the expression on his face as calm as ever.
Lu Sandao sat down against the door lintel, glanced at the teapot next to the old man, and said, "What's the point of drinking tea all the time? Have a sip?"
With that said, she handed over the wine jar in her hand.
Xu Dangren did not look at her, but responded slowly: "Wine can relieve sorrow, but cannot take revenge."
"What's more, at my age, if I drink less than one glass of wine, I might be able to live an extra day or two."
"And if you live for a day or two longer, maybe you can wait until the day he comes to Tianxuan Mountain."
Lu Sandao raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to seek revenge on him?"
After saying this, her eyes fell on the sword in the old man's arms, and her expression became more and more suspicious: "Just rely on it?"
Xu Dangren just responded slowly: "Swordsman."
"Isn't it the sword in your hand that you can rely on?"
Lu Sandao curled his lips and did not comment on Xu Dangren's words: "What's its name?"
"Blow dreams." Xu Dangren said.
"Can't you forget Xizhou?" Lu Sandao smelled it and asked with a playful expression.
"Can you forget?" Xu Dangren asked.
Lu Sandao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, she turned her head to look at the laughing crowd in the room, and her eyes fell on one of them.
"That kid is pretty good. What's his background?"
Xu Dangren continued to caress the sword in his arms and replied: "The person who was saved by the sword armor in Song Guicheng back then."
Lu Sandao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "People from Wuling City?"
Immediately he came back to his senses and said: "No wonder Zhao Nianshuang recruited her into his family."
"But after all, he was only six or seven years old twelve years ago, right? Where has he been after all these years?"
Xu Dangren shook his head: "I don't know, but it seems that the girl still carries the inheritance of Song Guicheng and the others, and she just went to the Wuling City ruins a few months ago..."
"A few months ago?" Lu Sandao had a look of surprise on his face: "You mean Song Guicheng and the others were still alive a few months ago?"
Xu Dangren faced Lu Sandao and rolled his eyes with his white eyes.
"I'm just a blacksmith, not a fortune teller. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Lu Sandao blinked, not knowing how to refute the old man's confident answer.
"Forget it, after all, that kid is pretty good." Lu Sandao said, raising his head and taking a sip of wine: "But he is a survivor of Wuling City. It is reasonable for you to give him a sword. That Chu
Zhaozhao, according to what you said, he has the inheritance of Song Guicheng and the others, so it makes sense to be given a sword, but that purple jade... what do you think?"
As Lu Sandao spoke, he rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Xu Dangren in astonishment: "You old guy, you are old-hearted, and you still want to eat young grass, right?"
When Xu Dangren was lifting the teapot and wanted to take a sip, his body trembled and he almost crushed the teapot in his hand.
It took him some effort to suppress the urge in his heart to hit this nonsense-talking woman on the head with his sword hammer.
Then, he sighed and said quietly: "Logically speaking..."
"You really should find someone with good talent..."
"But I don't have time. At least that girl has a good heart."
Hearing this, Lu Sandao seemed to hear the underlying meaning of the old man's words. She put away the smile on her face: "Have you really decided?"
"Within the territory of Dayu, with the destruction of Jianyue City, the last established Xiangxing Guards have also fallen apart, and the Sky Patrol Division exists in name only. At this time, perhaps we need a leader with high morals and respect, rather than..."
"A sin-bearing evil spirit."
Xu Dangren was stunned and looked at Lu Sandao again.
Yes.
Yes look.
Bursts of purple light suddenly appeared in his white eyes, and his hand stroking the blade of the sword paused.
"But I already am."
"From the day Jianyue City was breached."
"Since the day countless people died in front of me."
"From the day I prayed to the outside world and received an answer."
"I already am."
"child……"
"I can't look back, and I won't look back."
…
Zheng Lingyin frowned and sat in the main room of the sword-wielding hall.
Prime Minister Zheng lowered his head and served carefully.
Downstairs, four disciples were kneeling on the ground.
These four people were the four people who identified Ma Yingjie under Chu Qingxiao's scheme today.
Their cultivation had been abolished by Lu Sandao, and they were expelled from the gate of Tianxuan Mountain.
Although it is said that as the guardian of the sacred peak of Tianxuan Mountain, Lu Sandao does have this power, after all, she is not the guardian of Qingquan Peak. This act is indeed suspected of acting on behalf of others.
"That Chu Qingxiao... who is he? Why is Lu Sandao so protective of him?" Zheng Lingyin waved her hand and drove the four people who had finished crying out of the main room. She turned her head and looked at Zheng Xiang and asked.
Zheng Xiang lowered his head and said with a slightly frightened expression: "It seems to be someone from Lingque Town under the rule of Qingque Peak, but..."
"The weird thing is that his household registration was entered into Lingque Town half a month ago. Before that, I didn't find any clues about him. He seemed like a guy who appeared out of thin air."
Zheng Lingyin heard this and thought to herself, with a hint of amusement on her beautiful face: "Lingque Town? Lu Sandao..."
"interesting."
"So, he stopped you from going to Shanshuigou that day?"
Zheng Xiang nodded quickly: "That's true. That guy was lawless and dared to use his sword to threaten the younger ones. I was afraid that taking action rashly would ruin the reputation of our Liuhuan Peak, so I tolerated it."
"Later, Ma Yingjie found Xiao Xiao and said that he wanted to investigate a case related to Shanshuigou. Xiao Xiao thought that if he could start from this aspect and let Ma Yingjie find out something, he would then use it as an excuse to clean up Shanshuigou.
The residents seemed more legitimate, so they agreed to Ma Yingjie's request."
"But I didn't expect that guy named Chu Qingxiao to be so bold and dare to kill Deacon Lu in front of so many people!"
Zheng Lingyin glanced at Zheng Xiang and did not criticize the other party's behavior of putting gold on her face.
She just said: "Since he is from Qingquan Peak and Lu San Dao is protecting him, let him go. Ma Yingjie's death is a matter between Qingquan Peak and Qingque Peak, and we Liuhuan Peak don't need to be involved.
.”
"The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the Shanshuigou issue. News has come from King Wu that Tianxuan City may not be expanded in the next twenty years. There are not many idle areas in the city now. Shanshuigou
With such a large area of land, there are many people in the Nine Peaks who are keeping an eye on this piece of cake, so take it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."
Zheng Xiang did not dare to refute and could only nod hurriedly, but thinking about the scene when Chu Qingxiao put the sword on his neck that day, he felt unwilling to do so.
He added: "I understand, but there is something... I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
Hearing this, Zheng Lingyin turned her head and looked at Prime Minister Zheng, with some displeasure on her brows.
"Zheng Xiang, I want to remind you that my father is very dissatisfied with your errand."
"It's not like being clever."
As if he felt this, Zheng Xiang's body trembled slightly. For a girl in her early twenties, he could often feel a sense of oppression that was not inferior to that of her father, Zheng Jingtong, the master of Liuhuan Peak.
He quickly lowered his head and said in panic: "I have no other intentions, it's just..."
"It's just that in Chu Qingxiao's residence in Tianxuan City, there is an old friend of the young lady... I think the young lady should probably know the news."
"Old friends? What old friends can I have?" Zheng Lingyin frowned.
