Emperor: These people are not right.

Ren Xuan pressed his sword with one hand, his eyes suddenly turned cold. After talking so much nonsense, is he finally going to overturn the table?

But just as the murderous intent arose in his heart, an inexplicable dizziness suddenly hit him.

Ren Xuan frowned slightly, and felt that the sky and the earth were all white in front of him, and there were faint sounds of wind and thunder in his ears.

wrong.

His heart trembled, and his thoughts flashed through his mind. What was going on? He hadn't eaten anything of unknown origin recently.

The next moment, Ren Xuan's heart was filled with alarm. Oh no - it's the Lu family's tea.

"General, you..." Jiang En, who was standing beside him, was the first to notice something was wrong. Before he could finish his words, he saw cold sweat on Ren Xuan's forehead.

Jiang En immediately went forward to help the other person, but suddenly met those blood-red eyes.

It was a terrifying evil spirit, like a pool of blood or a dark prison, burning with undying fighting spirit and uncontrollable murderous intent.

There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.

"General Ren?! What's wrong with you——"

"Master Ren!"

"Master Ren!!!"

“Ren Xuan!!!”

The next moment, a silver light flashed, and Ren Xuan drew his sword and rushed towards Lu Jie.

There was a sudden silence all around.

In this world, the most terrifying person has never been a strong and powerful warrior.

But he is the kind of killer who can endure, hide, and wait.

Like Ren Xuan. This person rarely attacks, but almost every time he does, blood is drawn.

The several generals present held their breath, drew their swords but did not draw, and did not dare to take another step forward.

The next moment, the screams rang out again—

"Master Lu! Get out of the way!!"

"Minister Lu! Be careful!!"

However, Lu Jie, the focus of everyone's attention, did not move at all.

Lu Jie neither retreated nor avoided, but suddenly raised his voice with a sharp edge and overwhelming anger: "Qin Huaizhang, what do you want to do?! Under the feet of the emperor! Purple Gold Imperial City! Are you rebelling?!"

Before he finished speaking, a cold light came.

The one-inch-long sword penetrated through his clothes and went straight into Lu Jie's chest and abdomen.

The attendant standing beside Lu Jie only felt a shadow passing before his eyes, his face full of horror and confusion.

He didn't even see how Ren Xuan made his move.

The next moment, dozens of Lu Mansion’s personal guards came with swords in hand, and the banquet was immediately thrown into chaos.

Qin Huaizhang stood up suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, he understood.

Lu Jie, the old fox, wanted to trap himself and drag Qin Huaizhang down with him.

Qin Huaizhang had secretly set up an ambush outside the building.

But Qin Huaizhang couldn't move at this moment.

Ren Xuan, his man, Ren Xuan, was the one who drew his knife first.

No matter what the outcome of this fight, his Prince Jin's Mansion would not be in the right.

Qin Huaizhang stood in the chaos with a stern expression, and suddenly he laughed.

Since Lu Jie dared to place the bet, he would accept it. It was just a one-for-one exchange, so he wouldn't lose anything.

On the side, Ren Xuan came back to his senses in a trance, and the Qingfeng in his hand was reflecting blood.

He shook his head vigorously, but his consciousness was still a little fuzzy and he was completely unable to think carefully about the sudden situation before him.

And right before his eyes, the elegant pavilion was already in chaos.

Qin Huaizhang, who was surrounded, had a bloody spot on his front. It was the place where he had stabbed him last time. The wound on Qin Huaizhang's body had split open.

Qin Huaizhang did not mobilize his troops - Qin Huaizhang wanted to insert himself into the situation.

No way. If the King of Jin died here tonight, that madman Qin Shu...would probably turn the entire imperial city upside down.

Ren Xuan raised his sword and shouted, "Protect the prince!"

The next moment, a change occurred. Hundreds of soldiers filed in, their armor thick and their weapons like a forest.

Looking at the person coming, Qin Huaizhang's expression changed drastically: "Xiao Shu, what are you doing here?!"

The situation tonight is as dangerous as a sharp edge.

Once Qin Shu shows up, even if he doesn't say anything or do anything, he will become the target of public criticism in the court tomorrow.

In front of Qin Huaizhang, Qin Shu was his usual harmless self. "General Ren said that some ministers had bad intentions tonight, and Uncle Wang, you must catch them all in one fell swoop. But I watched from downstairs for a long time and didn't see you mobilize any troops. I was worried, so I came up to check."

The expressions of the civil servants in the room changed drastically. Immediately, the Minister of Revenue stood up angrily, pointing at Qin Shu and shouting, "Qin Huaizhang condoned Ren Xuan's murder first! All of you colleagues have witnessed it! Qin Shu, stop confusing right and wrong!"

Qin Huaizhang covered his wound, cold sweat already oozing from his forehead, but he forced himself to speak in a deep voice: "What are you doing coming in! Coming in means you're playing into their trap."

Qin Shu shrugged his shoulders and said in a gentle tone, "Uncle Wang, you should tell me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come in."

The young man paused, revealing a rather innocent expression: "I'm not that smart."

Qin Shu squatted down and looked at Qin Huaizhang with concern in his eyes: "But since I have seen you injured like this, can I still abandon you and not care about you?"

Qin Huaizhang gritted his teeth, anger and heartache intertwined: "You kid...how come you don't understand politics at all..."

"Uncle Wang, please don't worry about these for now."

Qin Shu raised his hand and waved, calling for his personal guards: "Send Uncle Wang to the Imperial Hospital first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier responded and, regardless of Qin Huaijin's own wishes, escorted him out of this chaotic place.

Qin Shu stood up again, the smile in his eyes faded. He looked around the room and his gaze fell on the Minister of Revenue who had just spoken. He said slowly, "Did everyone see it?"

The young man raised his eyes slightly, a sneer on his lips: "But Xiao Wang didn't see it."

"I only saw that you all allowed your slaves to do evil and intended to murder the prince of the court."

The air was stagnant for a moment, and finally, an official from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward and said, "Ren Xuan injured and killed someone. The Ministry of Justice will know the truth after a quick investigation. Your Highness, do you think that your one-sided statement can silence the rumors?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shu simply waved his hand casually, his tone extremely casual: "Looking for Quejian? That broken mirror?"

Qin Shu chuckled: "Don't you know that it has had some problems recently?"

Just as someone was about to curse again, some smart people were already breaking out in cold sweats.

Now that Xun Quejian is gone, there is no real evidence to prove that Ren Xuan committed murder.

It cannot be proved that Ren Xuan injured anyone first. Based on the wound on Qin Huaizhang's body, even if Qin Shu killed everyone at the scene, it could still be considered a rebellion.

As for after tonight—the dead can't bear witness.

Ren Xuan nodded in satisfaction. What kind of malfunction was that? It must have been Qin Shu's doing. Qin Shu was a master craftsman, so dealing with those mechanical devices shouldn't be easy.

The shameless look of the dog emperor makes people feel at ease.

At this moment, one of the officials walked out slowly.

"Why do you have to do it so drastically?"

The young man's eyes were as sharp as a torch, sweeping across the blood-stains on the ground and the terrified crowd. His voice was low, but every word was heard clearly: "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. You can kill everyone here today, but can you silence the gossips of the world tomorrow?"

There really is something wrong with Wen Congren. Qin Shu slowly stepped forward and smiled leisurely, "This isn't something you should worry about, Master Wen."

Qin Shu narrowed his eyes, murderous intent piercing his face: "At least I still have tomorrow."

···

It is never wise to do things to the extreme.

Wen Congren knew this, but he didn't understand why Qin Shu always provoked hatred, revenge and murderous intentions again and again.

For him, dancing on the edge of a knife and crossing a boat in the wind seem to be not only a means but also a pleasure.

Wen Congren lowered his eyes. He didn't want things to deteriorate to the extent of his previous life.

Wen Congren took another step forward, fearless and said, "Your Highness, let's make a deal."

Qin Shu glanced at him playfully, a smile on his lips, and said lightly: "To trade, you need bargaining chips."

Wen Congren followed suit with a smile, and the young man said slowly, "Lu Xiyun."

Just three words, and Qin Shu frowned.

Qin Shu believed that what he had shown so far was nothing more than a snobbish prince who was trying to curry favor with the queen and curry favor with the powerful.

Ren Xuan saw through him, which made Qin Shu very annoyed.

And now, this third place winner who had only met him a few times was actually mentioning Lu Xiyun.

Why can Wen Congren threaten him with Lu Xiyun without fear?

Qin Shu didn't like this feeling. This situation where his bottom line was easily known by others made him feel an uncontrollable irritation from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Shu lowered his eyes, sneered, and said with a hint of coldness: "Do you think I care?"

Wen Congren just stared at the other person quietly: "You care about me, and I know who you are very well."

Ren Xuan saw it clearly from the side, raised his eyebrow, and tapped his fingers on the hilt of the sword unconsciously.

——Something is wrong.

Is there anyone in this world who dares to say that he knows the Dog Emperor?

Qin Shu was obviously dissatisfied with being threatened by Wen Congren.

So, Qin Shu smiled.

But that smile was cold. Qin Shu spoke slowly, "Then go ahead."

He looked at Wen Congren sinisterly: "Kill him, and we'll continue our conversation."

Qin Shu's eyes were gloomy. "You're betting on my bottom line, right? I'm here for you."

Ren Xuan, who was standing by, frowned as he heard this and cursed in his heart.

Damn, the dog emperor is starting to act wild again.

Brother, if you lie to others, you can’t also lie to yourself!

Qin Shu didn't think so. Wen Congren only had one card in his hand. Would he dare to tear it? He didn't dare.

As long as it's not a fight to the death, no one will touch the last card.

Wen Congren certainly didn't want to fight to the death, but he wouldn't face Qin Shu without any preparation.

Wen Congren met the other man's gaze directly. "You should have checked me out during this period. There is a lineage in the Lingjing clan called Yanshi that is not tolerated by the world. They kill people to obtain their Qi, and exchange their lives for others'. The prince's Qi is in my hands. If you want to make him a cripple again, let's continue our conversation."

The anger between Qin Shu's brows grew deeper.

What is Wen Congren talking about? What does "once again" mean?

Ren Xuan took a deep breath.

Wen Congren was talking about the Battle of Xixia - that happened in the previous life.

In Xixia, those bastards used living people to sacrifice to ghosts, shocked the ancient scrolls, and opened the battle formation diagram.

The ferocious beast broke through the seal, and hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers were turned upside down.

Lu Xiyun went against the flow and cut through the energy with a sword, severing the earth veins for a hundred miles before he was born.

That sword cut off all the Qi within a hundred miles without distinguishing between friend and foe, including Lu Xiyun's own Qi.

More than a month later, in order to keep his breath, the dog emperor chopped the doctor like a carrot.

The gloom between Ren Xuan's brows deepened. If Wen Congren knew all this, then there was no so-called test between Wen Congren and Qin Shu at all.

In Wen Congren's eyes, the dog emperor was clearly playing his cards right.

No, no, this won’t do. This isn’t possible. This is cheating.

Ren Xuan stepped forward and said, "Master Wen, there's no point in playing tricks like this. What exactly do you want?"

Wen Congren said calmly, "I'm here to make a deal. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, why do we have to fight to the death?"

The young man narrated calmly, his voice cold and clear, "Lord Lu is seriously injured. Your Highness Prince Xiang, you or Your Highness Prince Jin should give an explanation. General Ren injured someone, General Ren is responsible, this matter ends here."

This is more unfair than Dou E, and Ren Xuan certainly won't accept it: "Lu Jie used the medicine first, why should I pay for his life?"

Wen Congren chuckled: "Master Lu used medicine and asked you to kill him?"

Qin Shu raised his hand to stop Ren Xuan: "No need to say more, Ren Xuan will not be responsible."

If one man is killed and the whole army is shocked, kill him. If one man is rewarded and ten thousand people are pleased, reward him.

Ren Xuan was working for him, and Qin Shu would not do something that would destroy the morale of the army.
