Fang Xingfei didn't panic when Ren Xuan exposed him. Instead, he said slowly, "I'm not familiar with Lu Xiyun. If I intervene rashly, it might end up doing more harm than good. That would be bad."

Ren Xuan rolled his eyes in his heart. He had seen through Fang Xingfei. This guy was not afraid of bad things, but was afraid of people doing bad things.

Ren Xuan remained expressionless, cupping his fists and bowing to Qin Shu. "Your Highness, I did get a glimpse of this technique just now. However, ultimately, Brother Fang is the one who understands it best."

Qin Shu always understood the implicit meaning of his words.

Qin Shu slowly stood up and offered an attractive price: "Second Master Fang, please help me. I will do my best to help you with your senior brother's illness. How about it?"

To use all the power in the clouds is almost equivalent to promising half of the world.

Fang Xingfei raised his eyebrows and didn't hesitate for long: "In that case, General Ren, I will accompany you on this trip."

Ren Xuan looked at it and clicked his tongue. Once the 'benefits' were in place, it became cooked immediately.

Sure enough, as long as the price is right, even the laziest person will work hard.

Without waiting for Ren Xuan to respond, Fang Xingfei had already pointed a finger at his brow, and a stream of Qi flowed into him.

Ren Xuan's eyes went dark, and before he lost consciousness, only one sentence rang in his mind:

——I give in. You are really anxious.

Amidst the chaos, Fang Xingfei's voice rang out again: "Hey, General Ren, wake up and get to work."

Ren Xuan was pulled up by the other party and gave him a meaningful look: "Second Master, I'm not used to your enthusiasm."

Ren Xuan looked around and it was just as he expected. The black stone outer city that was so familiar to him stood silently in the wind.

The scenery has not changed, the city walls remain the same, it is definitely Longyuan City.

In the previous life, it was here that the group of Yanshi who had caused a sea of ​​blood in Yinshu City overnight were forced into a desperate situation by Fang Xingfei.

So, those who had killed countless people in the past bowed their heads and turned to Qin Shu for protection.

This group of Yanshi offered a unique copy of the secret technique, an intelligence network throughout Dagan, promised to surrender and serve, and even made a huge offer to Qin Shu.

The leading Yanshi promised to use secret techniques to repair Lu Xiyun's broken arm.

Qin Shu hesitated.

Even if Fang Xingfei was the best, he could not defeat the power of the imperial court and the army of tens of thousands of soldiers.

He came directly to the door, and Fang Xingfei went directly to Lu Xiyun.

He cursed coldly: "That bastard Qin Shu is protecting the beast who killed the third brother."

Fang Xingfei suppressed his anger and questioned Lu Xiyun - "Do you know?"

Lu Xiyun was stunned and unable to answer.

He took the sword and went straight into the commander's place without telling anyone.

Lu Xiyun did not ask whether this was true. He directly asked about Yanshi's location in the city.

Qin Shu answered subconsciously.

——He should deny it.

Qin Shu wanted to explain, but Lu Xiyun didn't care about his explanation.

The two had a big fight over this.

The conflict began to get out of control.

I've already done it twice, how could I possibly make a mistake? Ren Xuan didn't hesitate for a second and made quick arrangements: "Second Master, I'll go find His Highness. You go find the Crown Prince—he's going after that Yanshi, at the restaurant in the south of the city. Second Master, just kill that Yanshi and don't let that bastard talk nonsense!"

After he finished speaking, Ren Xuan headed directly eastward.

He remembered that Qin Shu had just finished arguing with Lu Xiyun and should be at the craftsman's workshop in the east of the camp.

When Qin Shu was in a bad mood, he always liked to go to the craftsman's workshop. To put it nicely, studying crafts could distract him. To put it bluntly, it allowed him to temporarily escape from some things.

Escape from the disappointment that was hard to hide in Lu Xiyun's eyes, and escape from the young man's determination to turn around and leave without leaving any room for negotiation.

The room was silent. On the table lay a pile of metal parts, copper and silver scattered about, all of which were rare items.

The main component of the imitation bone in Qin Shu's hand was extremely complex in structure.

The fingertips of the person in front of the case turned white, as if he was holding a bunch of unresolved emotions.

Ren Xuan paused, then finally walked in.

Qin Shu dropped the device in his hand and looked up at him: "What are you doing?"

Ren Xuan saluted and said bluntly: "Your Highness and the Crown Prince had a quarrel."

Qin Shu frowned, becoming more and more impatient: "None of your business."

Ren Xuan pretended not to hear and continued, "I dare to speak frankly, Your Highness, you are wrong in this matter."

Qin Shu's expression suddenly darkened.

Ren Xuan pretended not to see anything and continued, "Those Yanshi bands slaughtered Yin Shu. The dead's souls are still lingering, and the blood of the dead is still lingering. Yet, you collaborated with them without telling the Crown Prince. What do you think the Crown Prince will think?"

Qin Shu stood up suddenly, his voice rising: "I didn't say I wouldn't kill! What's wrong with using him?!"

"I'm going to discuss cooperation with Yanshi, I'm going to turn against him and kill him, I'm going to bear the infamy of being a traitor, all he has to do is wait for me."

"The craftsman cannot reach the level of Yanshi. He is the one who would stare at the sword alone at night!"

The breath that had been pent up for a long time finally became hard to swallow:

"I think he can be happier, is that wrong?!"

The room was silent for a moment, with only the curtains outside the window fluttering in the wind.

Ren Xuan was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly, "But Your Highness... maybe you should at least ask the Crown Prince."

He spoke softly, "I dare to speculate that if it were really up to the Crown Prince to choose, he would choose you over Yanshi. Even if it can't be restored to its original state."

Qin Shu felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this. He relaxed in an irritable manner.

"Let him kill if he wants!"

With a bit of self-abandonment: "I don't care!"

Ren Xuan looked at him, his eyes darkening a little: "Your Highness, you have to go find the prince."

He paused, lowering his voice, "Master Yan knows too much. If he were to instigate something, the Crown Prince might not listen to anyone else."

"I have convinced Fang Xingfei." Ren Xuan raised his eyes meaningfully, "We can let Fang Xingfei come forward and resolve all this."

···

Ren Xuan overestimated Fang Xingfei after all.

When Fang Xingfei arrived at the "restaurant in South City" that Ren Xuan mentioned, he only saw Yanshi being kicked over by Lu Xiyun.

The Yanshi knocked over the table, and with a bang, wood chips flew everywhere, and the square table was scattered into pieces of broken wood on the ground.

The Yanshi continued to fly backwards, and the whole person was carried by the brutal force and hit the wall behind him heavily. His body bent like a bow and he kept coughing up blood from his mouth.

Fang Xingfei's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to kill Yanshi, but he heard Yanshi suddenly cough and laugh:

"Ahem...Prince Lu...Yin Shu was slaughtered...could it be...that it was really all our fault?"

He looked up, half his face bloodied and mangled, but a near-crazy smile flickered in his eyes. "You're relentlessly pursuing us minions... what's the point?"

Fang Xingfei's hand, which was about to draw his sword, paused. He stood at the doorway and did not move again.

He listened too.

Lu Xiyun also stopped. The entire city of Yinshu was slaughtered, and no one had a clue who did it. Even Fang Xingfei, who came to the door, was just indiscriminately retaliating against all the Yanshi.

The bloody smell in the room grew thicker, Lu Xiyun's brows darkened, and the young man's knuckles were clenched so tightly that they almost turned white.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Then tell me—who did it?"

Yanshi coughed violently several times, blood trickling from his mouth and nose, but he propped himself up and said with a smile, "I said, can I still walk out of this room alive? I want to see His Royal Highness Prince Xiang."

Lu Xiyun's voice suddenly turned cold: "Qin Shu won't see you. He said he won't have any more contact with you guys."

Master Yan was startled for a moment, then he threw his head back and laughed.

The laughter was hoarse, like a blade that cut through the wind, cutting people's hearts: "Master Lu, do you think Qin Shu is a good person?!"

Lu Xiyun said coldly: "What do you mean?"

The Master Yan's breath was disordered and his face was pale, but he still held himself up and spoke out word by word:

"The Xiao family traces back to their past lives, seals their souls, and prevents them from reincarnation."

"Yanshi forges puppets, nourishing qi with qi and nourishing blood with blood."

He stared at Lu Xiyun, his eyes revealing a look of pity or ridicule that was hard to tell:

"Do you think what you drink every day is medicine? Do you think you only lost an arm?"

His voice grew deeper, as if he were declaring some irreversible prophecy:

"You, have already died."

The air suddenly stagnated.

Lu Xiyun frowned and said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yanshi coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his tone filled with teasing and sarcasm: "During the time this spring when you were seriously injured, the number of prisoners executed was three times that of previous years. You can find out if you check."

"Qin Shu defied reincarnation and the laws of nature for you."

He looked up at Lu Xiyun, his smile almost mocking:

"Are you anything clean?"

Lu Xiyun frowned and wanted to refute.

Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something.

The young man's body suddenly froze, his eyes became confused, chaos and trance appeared in his usually calm eyes, like the surface of the water wrinkled by the wind, or as if something was collapsing.

Fang Xingfei grew tired of watching from the side. He took a step forward with a cold face and said in a voice as cold as a blade:

"Yin Shu was slaughtered, what does that mean?"

The moment he saw Fang Xingfei, Master Yan froze as if struck by lightning.

The sneer that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth disappeared completely. He trembled as if he had seen a demon. His expression suddenly changed and he almost wailed:

"Second Master—please spare me—"

He was shaking, covered in blood, and kneeling on the ground in an extremely awkward position.

"I really wasn't the one who killed City Lord Xie—the person killed by Yuan Feng—Fang Cundong's body—I don't know where Fang Cun ran off to—I really don't know anything!"

The next moment, he turned around and looked at Lu Xiyun: "You killed me!"

“Kill me quick!!”

He leaned against the wall desperately, looking like he just wanted to get as far away from Fang Xingfei as possible.

As if seized by some immense fear, the Yanshi fiercely bit and clung to him, "Qin Shu! Qin Shu knew it all those years ago!! He knew Fang Cun was going to attack Yin Shu! He knew! If he had tried to stop him! This wouldn't have happened! This wouldn't have happened!!"
