This promise from the youngest Grandmaster carries a lot of weight.
Xu Shiqing meant that if the Jinyiwei could not protect Wen Cairou and Han Chengyu could not take her away, then they should come to him.
The young thief accepted the offer without hesitation. He just looked easy to deceive, but he was not stupid.
Han Chengyu left the reed field. He planned to stroll around the mansions to see if there were any clues.
But when he left, the young man moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing.
After everyone left, Xu Shiqing patted the firefly that had rolled onto his shoulder and said, "Let's go. What should we do next?"
There was no way Xie Chongyue came just to watch him kill Song Zhihe.
He had just chased him to Jinling more than a month ago, but the other party suddenly changed his route and went to Bian Jing. Because of Liu Wu Yu's matter, Xu Shiqing had to stop chasing him and turned south.
Now, it seems that the other party has arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou before him. Since he came to remind him that Wen Cairou has evidence of corruption among Jiangnan officials, and he has no connection with the Jinyiwei...
The evidence is in Xie Chongyue's hands, at least the other party definitely knows something at this moment.
Xu Shiqing quickly figured out the key and asked, "You're not hiding from me anymore?"
Xie Chongyue smiled and said, "How dare I hide from you?"
This means that you still don't forgive.
Xu Shiqing pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Then let's go back to the inn first? Do you have a place to stay?"
If there was someone here who knew the situation, they would probably be so shocked that they would be speechless at the sight of the Zhehua Sword Immortal being at a disadvantage.
Putting aside the Sword Immortal Grandmaster's martial power, just because he came from a prestigious and upright family, he naturally had a commanding position to be ruthless towards Xie Chongyue, a member of the Demon Sect.
Do we need a reason for the righteous to fight against the evil sect?
They had long since left the reed field and arrived at a secluded forest.
It was the middle of the night, the sky was dark and silent, the stars roared loudly over the noisy chirping of cicadas and frogs in the fields, the grass was also tall. Xu Shiqing tugged at the hem of his clothes that was caught, and wondered in annoyance why he kept looking in these places, which were either full of mosquitoes or grass hooks.
"You and I will go to Lingnan." Xie Chongyue said, "After your junior brother is fine, we will leave."
"Isn't things peaceful in the south again?" Xu Shiqing frowned.
To the south of Qizhou lay vassal states like the Baiyue. These barbarians, relying on their strategic location, frequently harassed the border. They posed no significant threat, but were incredibly annoying. Their martial arts world, like their own imperial court, was plagued by corruption, and every few years they would come to Qizhou to cause trouble. Previously, the notorious demonic sects in Qizhou's martial arts world, especially those skilled in poison and witchcraft, were mostly these people.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqing secretly glanced at Xie Chongyue.
Gui Wuying was particularly skilled in poisons, and people speculated whether he had learned from a master in the Southern Wulin, but it was just speculation. Xu Shiqing was somewhat familiar with him, but he didn't know Xie Chongyue's background.
"That's one reason," Xie Chongyue said, "but there are other reasons as well."
"..." Xu Shiqing frowned. Isn't it enough reason that the evil demons in the south are coming to Qi Zhou to cause trouble?
"Do you still remember Qiu Wuyi?" Xie Chongyue said.
Xu Shiqing asked: "What's wrong?"
Isn’t that another identity of Xie Chongyue?
.
Jinling is a cage.
Xu Shiqing anxiously hoped that Chen Sheng could go to Kyoto with him. Since the King of Qi had no intention of taking care of the matter, he would find someone who was willing to do so.
The Emperor of Kyoto will surely not ignore it——
"Don't go." Xie Chongyue said from the beam.
"......?" Xu Shiqing was very surprised. He remembered that Gui Wuying was much more hateful and ruthless than himself. Otherwise, he would not have known him.
Two years ago, Xie Chongyue himself executed those corrupt officials who took human lives and committed numerous evil deeds, showing his decisiveness and resolution. This may be the reason why his bad reputation spread so quickly in the underworld.
"There's a severe drought in Guanzhong, and plague in Nanjing." He simply lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Even if you go to Kyoto, you won't gain anything."
"Why are you so sure?" Xu Shiqing did not question it. He was just puzzled by the confidence of his friend in the martial arts world. How could the other party know so much about the court affairs?
Xie Chongyue said, "The Prince of Qi's mansion has been bustling with activity these days, and I've heard rumors... And do you think His Highness the Prince of Qi will let you take Chen Sheng away?"
He shook his head in amusement and said, "Now that the cat is here, I have to keep my tail between my legs these days and dare not wander around."
It is not surprising that the Jinyiwei are in the Prince Qi's mansion, but it was mentioned specifically, which should be because someone from the Jinyiwei has come openly.
But whose side was he on? The King of Qi? The Emperor? It was unclear, but in short, Xu Shiqing couldn't take Chen Sheng with him.
On the other hand, he also knew that Mr. Chen's body could not withstand the torture.
Xu Shiqing sat down dejectedly, poured two glasses of water and drank one himself.
When I put down the cup, the gentleman on the beam had already come down and picked up another cup.
Xu Shiqing, who hadn't even been called a Sword Immortal at the time, thought about it and couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "No, I won't give up."
Xie Chongyue was not surprised. He mentioned another matter: "The Jinge Conference and the Jinling Flower Festival will be held together."
"But isn't it still not safe?" Jianmen also has operations in Jinling, so Xu Shiqing received news of the outbreak. He asked, "Holding this kind of celebration now is too risky."
"Jinling can't be quiet." Xie Chongyue leisurely filled Xu Shiqing's cup with water: "It can't be quiet either."
Xu Shiqing frowned unconsciously, looked at the half-full cup, and said, "What a commotion."
