Under Yun Xiao's half-smiling look and Xuan Haoran's thoughtful expression, Xuan Jiuding took a deep breath and set the tone with his first sentence. He didn't know what the Lord Xuan Yue "didn't know".
detail.
But this is exactly the answer Xuan Haoran wants. He cannot accept that his most valued eldest son, the future leader of Xuanyue Kingdom, will do such a dirty thing. He needs a reasonable explanation, even if this explanation is not
It must be true.
"Father, the Xuantian Baojian was indeed stolen by Yun Xiao that night, but after I laid the net, although the thief was not found, the Xuantian Baojian was recovered. It seems that Yun Xiao
Laughing at the little thief, he had no time to move and didn't dare to take it with him, so he was found by his subordinates!"
Xuan Jiuding has restored the prince's aura, and his words are eloquent and well-founded. If Yun Xiao hadn't known it well, he might have been deceived by him.
"I originally wanted to tell my father as soon as possible, but these days, my father has been worried about my second brother's injury. I dare not disturb you. Please forgive me!"
After explaining, Xuan Jiuding knew that Xuan Haoran did not completely believe him, so he used family affection to impress him again. He knew that his father valued feelings the most, and he would never doubt himself again this time.
"That's it, it shocked me!"
Sure enough, when Xuan Jiuding finished speaking, Xuan Haoran couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then said earnestly: "Jiuding, our royal family has been in the country for nearly a thousand years and has acted upright. The reason why the previous kings caused the decline of our national power, Xuan Yue,
It’s just due to unfair treatment, so don’t make the same mistake they made.”
The facts are indeed as Xuan Haoran said. The Xuan clan has been spreading for thousands of years. Any powerful sect and empire has a process from rise to decline. The previous kings of the country were only content with enjoying themselves, which led to the decline of national power.
It was even almost destroyed by neighboring countries.
It was not until Xuan Haoran broke the chaos and launched a royal coup that the Xuan Yue Empire showed signs of revival in the past decades and hundreds of years. Xuan Haoran has always been extremely proud of this matter.
And because Xuan Haoran came from a branch of the Xuan clan, he had no respect for the previous mediocre kings. His philosophy of teaching his children was to act openly and honestly and never do things that harm others and benefit themselves.
On the night of his birthday, Xuan Haoran was so furious that he even issued an order to kill a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. If this incident was really just a trick of Xuan Jiuding, it would have a profound impact on his reputation as a wise king.
It's a huge blow.
Now hearing what Xuan Jiuding said, even if Xuan Haoran still had some doubts in his heart, he subconsciously chose to believe that as long as Yun Xiao was indeed the treasure thief, the reputation of the Xuan Yue royal family could be preserved, and he could feel at ease.
Seeing that his father had believed his lies, Xuan Jiuding turned his eyes and turned directly to Yun Xiao, and suddenly said: "I am a little strange. After I got back the Xuantian Baojian, except for Mr. Xing, there was no third person.
I know, but I don’t know how Mr. Bu Ku knew this?”
Hearing Xuan Jiuding's words, Yun Xiao couldn't help but admire the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince of the current royal family could come back from such a situation, and his thoughts changed so quickly. He was really a formidable opponent.
At this moment, Yun Xiao finally saw what it means to complain first, and what it means to beat him up. He was obviously the one who exposed Xuan Jiuding's conspiracy, but unexpectedly, in a few words from the latter, he himself became the suspect.
If Yun Xiao can't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid even Xuan Haoran's impression of him will be greatly reduced. In fact, he just came here directly and found the secret compartment of the bed without saying anything. He acted weirdly and incompetently.
Out to the right.
"Bu Ku, could it be that you and the little treasure thief Yun Xiao are in the same group, and are secretly inquiring about it, hoping to use this method to regain the royal family's treasure?"
Just when Yun Xiao was deep in thought, Ran Xing, who was not far away, spoke up, and as soon as he spoke, he put a big hat on his head, intending to crucify the Bu Ku in front of him alive.
You must know that Yun Xiao is a thief who has personally given the order to kill Xuan Yue. Anyone who dares to have anything to do with him will probably anger the Xuanyue royal family. Ran Xing wants to put the relationship between Bu Ku and Yun Xiao in front of him.
If he does, he will be able to reap the benefits when the time comes.
But what Ran Xing didn't know was that Bu Ku and Yun Xiao were not only related, they were basically the same person, and their relationship couldn't be closer.
"Mr. Bu Ku, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, we have reason to believe that you are not sincere in treating my second brother, but have ulterior motives!"
Seeing that the time had come, Xuan Jiuding immediately added another fire, and this fire was just to dispel Xuan Haoran's previous gratitude to Yun Xiao for saving Xuan Jing. It really killed two birds with one stone.
This time, even Xuan Haoran set his sights on Yun Xiao, wanting to hear his explanation. If it was true as Xuan Jiuding and Ran Xing said, then he would have to re-examine this unknown Bu Ku no matter what.
.
Being stared at by three different eyes, Yun Xiao's expression did not change at all. Instead, he showed a strange smile. He stretched out his hand and took the black box in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Xuan Jiuding was really angry. You must know that the black box is more important to him than the Xuantian Baojian. Even if it cannot be opened, it must not fall into the hands of outsiders.
This black box is naturally the treasure of the Yuhu Sect that Xuan Jiuding had planned more than ten years ago to have Yan Chun sneak into the Yuhu Sect and finally steal it with the cooperation of Xuan Zhi.
However, after getting this treasure, Xuan Jiuding found that the black box could not be opened. Even after he designed and obtained the black key in Yun Xiao's hand, the black lock was still like copper poured into iron, motionless.
"Haha, you all have misunderstood. The purpose of my coming here is not the Xuantian Treasure Mirror, but... it!"
Yun Xiao held the old black wooden box in his right hand, but pointed towards the wooden box with his left hand. His words, while making Xuan Jiuding twitch his face, also explained his previous weird behavior.
"What exactly is inside this box?"
Xuan Haoran looked confused, because this black box was really inconspicuous, and even looked a little shabby. Not to mention compared with the Xuantian Baojian next to it, even a random box from the royal family would probably be more exquisite.
Much more gorgeous.
But Xuan Haoran is the leader of a country after all, and he knows that the abilities of his precious son, since they are so closely hidden, and placed together with a national treasure like Xuantian Baojian, will definitely not be ordinary.
Hearing Xuan Haoran's question, Xuan Jiuding and Ran Xing's eyes immediately fell on Yun Xiao. To be honest, although they had obtained the black wooden box for several months, they never knew what was inside.
What exactly is it holding?
Especially Ran Xing, this plan was basically what he ordered Xuan Jiuding to do, but he only got some news from the Central Three Realms, and knew that there was a treasure in the Yuhu Sect, and even the leaders of the powerful sects in the Central Three Realms also
He coveted it very much, so by chance, he set his sights on the Jade Pot Sect's treasure.
But what Ran Xing didn't expect was that the box and black lock containing the ancestral treasure of a sect in the Qianlong Continent were made of extraordinary materials. He and Xuan Jiuding tried their best but couldn't open it.
Looking at Yun Xiao's look now, he seemed to know what was inside the box. Thinking of this, Ran Xing and Xuan Jiuding couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
But the next moment, the three of them saw Mr. Bu Ku gently shaking his head and saying: "I can't tell you the contents of this box yet. You just need to know that it is crucial to the recovery of His Highness the Second Prince."
Just play an important role!”
"Mr. Bu Ku, when you say this, don't you mean that you want to take my prince's things as your own?"
Such an answer naturally did not satisfy Xuan Jiuding. He rolled his eyes and spoke in a low voice, obviously not wanting the black wooden box to be taken away by Bu Ku.
Yun Xiaoli ignored Xuan Jiuding, but turned his head to the king Xuan Haoran, and asked pointedly: "Didn't your majesty say before that I can leave everything in the royal family to my own devices?"
Do you want to take it? Are you going to regret it now?"
Having said this, Yun Xiao paused slightly and then said: "I do want the Xuantian Treasure Mirror, but you may not be willing to give it to me. Secondly, I also said that only this thing in my hand can
It will be useful for His Highness the Second Prince’s recovery, please consider it!”
The two words in succession made Xuan Jiuding and Ran Xing's faces so gloomy that they were about to drip. On the other hand, the country leader Xuan Haoran couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As Yun Xiao said, compared to the Xuantian Baojian, which is a national treasure, Xuan Haoran has no comparison at all with the broken wooden box that he doesn't know what it is.
Xuan Haoran, who originally thought that the royal family was going to bleed a lot this time, decided to agree to Yun Xiao's request without any hesitation in his heart. There was no loss at all.
"Okay, I'll give this to you, but you have to promise to let Jing'er resume her practice!"
Xuan Haoran saw Xuan Jiuding's ugly expression at a glance, but added a condition at the end, which meant that if Yun Xiao could not restore Xuan Jing's talent for cultivation, then this thing would still have to be taken back.
But even if an additional condition is added, Xuan Jiuding's expression is not much better. In Xuan Haoran's heart, Xuantian Baojian must be much more important, but in the heart of the Crown Prince, I am afraid that the old black wooden box
, is truly a priceless treasure.
