Just as he stood up, he staggered and covered his chest.
Yang Shu looked at his bloody fingers and pushed him back: "Brother, please stop moving."
Ning Xiu said: "Even if we can't keep him, we still have to keep one or two of his subordinates. We know too little about them. If we don't take this opportunity to find out their origins, we will be passive when we encounter them in the future."
Yang Shu smiled and said, "That doesn't require you."
Ning Xiu looked at him doubtfully.
Yang Shu said: "This is the outskirts of Beijing. We clearly have the advantage of the location. Do you think I will do nothing? Mr. Jiang has already gone back to mobilize his troops. No matter how strong he is, if he is surrounded by soldiers and horses, he will have to do nothing."
Leave something behind!"
Ning Xiu stared at him.
Yang Shu was confused by what he saw: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"No." Ning Xiu's tone rarely revealed a hint of emotion, "You are more thoughtful than me."
When I first came here, I felt that he was still a young man. Although he was not lacking in intelligence, he was always unreliable. He was impulsive, childish, and emotional... Looking back now, he has grown too much in the past three years.
Ability to control the overall situation.
"Sir," Mingwei called, "come and get the talisman."
Ning Xiu put away his thoughts, nodded, stood up and walked towards the center.
"etc!"
Ning Xiu stopped and looked at the person who made the sound.
It's Yi Zhangyuan.
He said: "This is what we in Xuandu view."
It was Mingwei who answered him, and she replied calmly: "This is something from the lineage of our life masters."
As he spoke, Ning Xiu lowered his body unceremoniously and went to pick up the soul-suppressing tablet.
"Stop!" Elder Lai also shouted, "Are you going to rob me?"
Mingwei held down the flute in his hand, and his voice became colder: "So what?"
Master Yi said angrily: "Even with your help this time, there is no reason to seize the relics of the former temple master. If you don't stop, don't blame me..."
"Ha!" Mingwei didn't bother to explain to them, "If you want to fight, just come."
Her attitude was so arrogant that all the elders of Xuanduguan present were irritated by her. Then they thought of her identity and hesitated again.
They looked at Yang Shu, only to see that he had turned around and stood in front of Mingwei and Ning Xiu, with a clear intention to protect them.
His Highness the King of Yue alone is not so proud that Xuanduguan has to give in, but if he is determined to make things difficult for himself, it will be very troublesome.
During the stalemate, a low sigh sounded, but it was Xuan Fei who said: "Stand back and give him the things!"
"Guanzhu!" Yi Zhangyuan was surprised.
Elder Lai was no longer so polite, and shouted: "Xuanfei, you yourself are a victim of crime, now you want to order us? This thing is suppressed under the observatory, it is the treasure of our Xuandu Observation, why should you give it to us?"
To someone else?"
Xuan Fei said lightly: "Just because it belongs to them." He stood up and looked at these elders. His eyes were still as calm and gentle as before, but they had an unprecedented power for no reason.
Elder Lai was stunned for a moment and replied: "You think so?"
Master Yi also said: "Master Guan, the key to unlock it is the relic of Senior Brother Xuxing. How do you say it belongs to them?"
"Because that's the truth." Xuan Fei lowered his eyes and looked at the soul-suppressing tablet, "This thing suppresses many evil spirits. There should be a unique way to identify its owner. If you don't believe it, just watch it."
"this..."
Xuan Fei looked at it, Ming nodded slightly, and Ning Xiu continued to pick it up.
Under the stares of dozens of eyes, Ning Xiu picked up the soul-soaking tablet.
The moment he took the wooden card into his hands, he felt that the remaining weak mana in his body was pouring crazily into the soul-killing card.
His heart skipped a beat, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth again.
Then I found that I had entered a mysterious world.
Pictures flew into my mind one by one, and many words flashed before my eyes.
Those mysterious spells, those exquisite martial arts...
Others couldn't see this, they could only feel the spiritual energy flowing from the soul-suppressing tablet in his hand, as if it was alive.
Ning Xiu thought that a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a few breaths.
All those inheritances were poured into his mind, and the soul-suppressing card restored calm.
But that feeling is completely different from before.
The soul-suppressing card now is a living magic weapon in his hand, and he can use it to fend off enemies whenever he wants.
He was in communication with it, and he knew clearly how many evil spirits were suppressed inside, and he could sense the slightest movement inside.
Ning Xiu squeezed it hard, and their breaths blended.
The elders were so surprised that they were speechless.
They had seen with their own eyes how powerful this thing was, and how easily it could be subdued by Ning Xiu? Moreover, the auras of each other were so harmonious, it was not so much a subjugation as a recognition of its master.
Is it really their thing?
Xuanfei said: "Uncles, I will explain to you after this matter. As for now, it's time for me to interview the saint. There should be a result in the Yuyang case."
After saying that, he nodded to Yang Shu: "Your Highness, King of Yue, can you please accompany me?"
Yang Shu said with a smile: "Master Jiang, it's better to wait a moment. Mr. Jiang will soon change his mind. It would be more appropriate for him to do this."
Xuanfei didn't object.
They restored the star observatory to its original state, and just after returning to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Wenfeng came back.
"How?" Yang Shu greeted him.
Jiang Wenfeng said apologetically: "It was hard to catch two people, but they committed suicide. They only found a few things from their bodies."
Yang Shu didn't have high hopes at first and said: "It's not easy to catch two of them. The other party is not an ordinary person."
After a few simple words, Jiang Wenfeng took Xuanfei into the palace to meet the saint.
Yang Shu and Mingwei led Ning Xiu and Duofu back to the back mountain.
Ning Xiu was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, so he was left alone in the house to recover.
The three of them took medicine for their injuries and sat around talking.
Yang Shu was a little worried: "I don't know what Xuan Fei will say. We should have compiled the confession first and then let him explain."
Mingwei smiled slightly: "Where is the time for collusion? With so many pairs of eyes staring at him, the best choice is for him to go to the interview immediately to avoid inciting others."
"Hey, why do you think he did this?"
"How do I know?" Mingwei said absentmindedly, "When he comes back later, won't it be clearer if I ask him?"
"Will he tell us the truth?"
Ming smiled: "I feel exactly the opposite. He may have had reservations before, but he will definitely tell us the truth in the future."
...
"Your Majesty has a decree for you, Sir Xuan Guoshi, to have an audience with Sir Jiang."
Xuanfei straightened his blood-stained Taoist uniform and entered the Mingguang Hall.
The emperor was reviewing the memorial without even raising his head.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Wenfeng, bows to your Majesty. I have lived up to my trust, and the case of Xuandu Guan has been solved."
The emperor stopped writing and looked at them.
"Oh? I wonder who the murderer Jiang Qing found out is?"
Jiang Wenfeng looked at Xuanfei.
Xuanfei brushed up the hem of his clothes, knelt down and knelt down: "Xuanfei, a poor Taoist, has failed the Holy Grace. Please ask the Holy One to remove the name of Imperial Master." (To be continued)
