Chapter 230 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

Neutrality has its disadvantages.

There are not many enemies, and there is almost no power to fight to the death. There are not many friends, and most of the confidants when doing things are subordinates in the army. There is not even a decent civil official.

He punished Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Li Yan with lightning speed. Including Zhu Jie and Tong Guan who died earlier, and Cai Jing who passed away yesterday, the six thieves were eliminated, and the court was clean. It was no longer the time for treacherous officials to rule.

All those who should be killed were killed, and it was already dawn.

Prince Taiping went home and did not have time to talk to Xue Chen. After washing up, he ate something casually and fell asleep. He left before dawn.

After Xue Chen woke up, he listened to the news sent back by the palace guards and said nothing. Everything was as usual and he continued to entertain guests.

Compared with him, Ximen Chuxue was more confused.

He thought he might not have woken up, otherwise why did the emperor suddenly change when he woke up? He

just slept for a while, and his opponent in the sword fight became a prince?

Is this sword fight still going to happen?

And there is also Yu Luosha...

Ximen Chuxue finally accepted the reality and thought about the impact of the change of imperial power. When he came to his senses, he was already sitting at the dinner table.

The daily diet in Taiping Palace is very light, similar to his taste. Breakfast is white flour steamed buns, boiled eggs in plain water, white porridge with rice oil, and a few side dishes. There is nothing to complain about.

Xue Chen said, "I hope you can stay for a few more days."

Ximen Chuxue raised his eyes and expressed his doubts with an inquiring expression.

Xue Chen: "The situation is turbulent, and there are so many masters in the palace. I am afraid that there will be no one at home, and someone will do something behind the scenes. If you can stay, I will feel at ease."

In fact, he is confident that he can deal with assassins from other factions, not to mention that there are so many vests that can be mobilized, and protecting his own safety is a piece of cake. But Ximen Chuxue, like Lu Xiaofeng, is an uncontrollable factor. If you don't keep him in front of you, you can't feel at ease.

Yu Qi has been changing his appearance since he came to Zhongyuan, just like a drop of water flowing into the sea. It is difficult to find his whereabouts. He has not taken the initiative to contact Yu Luosha. If Yu Luosha can't find him, he will definitely take action.

Leaving Ximen Chuxue here as a hostage, Yu Luocha will have to be cautious even if he wants to do something bad.

Xue Chen: [I should be the first person to kidnap Ximen Chuxue.]

System: [?]

Xue Chen: [Can you learn something useful? I have less and less common language with you.]

System: [Isn't it because you are more perverted?]

Xue Chen: [Who is it that has a mind full of perverted things? Who is more excited when talking about perverted topics? What are our common topics? I advise you to reflect on it.]

System: [……] So, I am the pervert?

Ximen Chuxue didn't want to stay in someone else's house for a long time, nor did he want to get involved in trouble for no reason. He refused directly: "The prince is thoughtful and has made a complete plan. He will not abandon you. Your safety is not a problem. I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Xue Chen: "It's very chaotic outside."

Ximen Chuxue paused, as if he wanted to hear him finish, but didn't turn around.

Xue Chen: "You won't be disturbed here. If you leave now, you can't leave the city, and there may even be many people visiting you."

Not to mention anything else, at this time of year, leaving the Taiping Palace is enough to be trampled down by people.

Ximen Chuxue remained silent.

Xue Chen came to Ximen Chuxue's side, looking at the scenery outside the window, "Master Ximen came to the capital this time, not just for the sword duel, right?"

Ximen Chuxue looked at him.

Xue Chen smiled and said, "I guessed."

Ximen Chuxue nodded lightly.

Xue Chen: "You have something difficult."

Ximen Chuxue: "Not bad."

Xue Chen: "Stay, just think of it as accompanying me."

Feeling Xue Chen's intentions, Ximen Chuxue was a little moved, and also felt sorry for his previous thoughts, and his mood was very complicated.

He is very good at swordsmanship and famous, and is often designed to be used by others. Over time, his guard has become heavier. When he goes out, he always eats only boiled eggs and white flour buns, which are bland foods. Even if they are poisoned, it is easy to tell.

Ximen Chuxue also has few friends he can trust.

In addition to Lu Xiaofeng, he also had other friends, but those friends were only friends with him for a short time, and eventually they would break up for various reasons. When

you are in the world of martial arts, you can't stay out of trouble. Ximen Chuxue seems to be obsessed with swordsmanship and rarely spends his mind on external things, but some things can't be avoided just by wanting to avoid them. There are countless people who want to step on him to become famous, and Ximen Chuxue can't help it.

Maybe because of this, Lu Xiaofeng was so hesitant when asking him for help.

There are only a few things about Ximen Chuxue that can be plotted against. If Xue Chen really has bad intentions, he can't escape even if he doesn't stay in the Taiping Palace.

Ximen Chuxue was not afraid of conspiracy, but he did not want to disappoint others. Xue Chen was weak and sickly, and his swordsmanship seemed limited, but his state of mind was beyond most people. Anyone who could have such a state of mind must not be a wicked person.

He reminded, "If he wants to come, no one can stop him."

Xue Chen: "The Taiping Palace is already at the center of controversy. The more troubles we solve now, the fewer problems we will encounter in the future. No matter who he is, we will have to face off against him. I'm not afraid of danger, and I think my father is the same. You can rest assured."

Ximen Chuxue admired his attitude, and his cold expression softened a little: "Yeah."

-Kaifeng

Prefecture is a very prosperous city with a large population. It is definitely a first-tier city, but its area is not large. Yu Qi used his absolute lightness skills and quickly went around the city. He didn't see Yu Luosha at all, but there were a few unidentified people, and it was unknown which force they belonged to.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Yu Luosha is not a gentleman, but he has a strong sense of risk. Even if he noticed the changes in the court, he certainly could not have guessed that such a big thing would happen. Even if he came, he would probably wait and see from a distance. Unless Ximen Chuxue was in danger, he would definitely not show up.

Yu Qi felt relieved and ran to the palace on all fours to deal with various emergencies.

Since Fang Juxia was summoned, Fang Yingkan has been very honest. He seems to have turned over a new leaf and cut off contact with Youqiao Group.

Xue Chen knew with his fingers that this was impossible. The reason why Youqiao Group was called this name was mainly to give Mi Youqiao face. The actual decision maker was still Fang Yingkan.

Xue Chen didn't feel anything when Fang Yingkan rebelled before, because it would not succeed in the end anyway.

Now he is definitely rebelling against his own family, and Xue Chen just wants to kill him cleanly.

Fang Yingkan is now an attempted rebellion. He was captured by King Taiping just after he colluded with the Jin people. Killing him directly would be too cruel and unconvincing. It is not realistic to strike first, so we can only be prepared and see if anyone falls into the trap.

At present, the capital city is still very peaceful. There has been no movement for six and a half minutes. However, the news of Cai Jing's death may have spread, so there are always people setting off firecrackers. No one cared when the firecrackers were set off at the beginning. After half an hour, it was as festive as the New Year outside.

Because Zhao Ji was missing to the outside world, Prince Taiping played a full role and sent several groups of people to look for him everywhere, and put several adult princes under surveillance as suspects.

He temporarily took charge of state affairs and fulfilled the responsibility of supervising the country. The coronation ceremony was postponed to a year later, which seemed less urgent.

Gong Jiu and Prince Taiping stayed in the palace for three days. During this time, Xue Chen sent some easy-to-carry food and daily necessities, which fully expressed his concern for his father and brothers.

Seven days later, Gong Jiu finally returned home.

During these seven days, Pei Rui and Lu Xiaofeng did not come out of the palace, thus avoiding being chased and questioned.

Yuan Feishuang was afraid that Di Feijing would starve to death, so she took the time to go back and feed Di Feijing with food and water, knocked him out again and stuffed him under the bed before going back to the palace. She went back three times a day, which was busier than going to work. Fortunately, his Qinggong was at the highest level, otherwise it would have been wasted on commuting.

Yu Qi made the most progress, as he found Yu Luosha outside the city.

Yu Luosha still had that mysterious look on his face, covering his face with gray mist, and gathered with a dozen Luosha sect gang members, with no intention of entering the city.

He found Yu Qi, who was disguised as a dog, but did not recognize him. He looked at him a few times and stopped paying attention to him.

Yu Qi was sure that Yu Luosha had no intention of participating in the coup, and that he was staying here just for Ximen Chuxue. He would leave once Ximen Chuxue was safe.

Gong Jiu hurried back home, and refused to see Xue Chen, so he went straight to his own yard.

After a while, Xue Chen heard a faint sound coming from next door, which sounded like suppressed sobbing.

Ximen Chuxue, who was drinking tea with Xue Chen, showed a puzzled expression.

Xue Chen: [Do you think I should care about it, or act calm?]

System: [Is there any difference?]

Xue Chen: [The former means that this kind of thing doesn't happen often, and the latter means that I'm used to it. 】

System:【I think it's better to keep it secret, but Ximen Chuxue will know about your brother's mess sooner or later.】

【That's right.】 Xue Chen said, and was silent for a while, his tone slightly raised,【I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it.】

System:【?】

While communicating with the system, Xue Chen had already reacted in front of Ximen Chuxue. He first frowned slightly and looked at Gong Jiu, then seemed to remember that there were guests around, relaxed his expression, and saw Ximen Chuxue's puzzled look, and said calmly: "Don't worry about him."

Ximen Chuxue was not a nosy person, and heard him say that, put away his curiosity.

He had lived here for more than ten days without realizing it, and his daily life was not much different from that in Wanmei Villa, practicing sword, eating, and taking walks.

Xue Chen was afraid that he would be bored, so he found some books for him to read, and would discuss swordplay with him every now and then. He also took him to visit his brother's storage room for swords, and his days were fulfilling and enjoyable.

However, swordplay, an activity that tests knowledge reserves, is not suitable for frequent activities. After a few times, Ximen Chuxue's years of swordplay experience were almost exhausted, and Xue Chen was not able to use it, so he could only talk to him through the brains of several other aliases.

This made Xue Chen's reaction seem a little slow, as if he was absent-minded, but it also confirmed that he was in poor health.

Ximen Chuxue originally wanted to compete with him in swordplay, but when he saw that Xue Chen seemed to be running out of energy, he gave up the idea.

When Gong Jiu came back from outside, Ximen Chuxue should have been the happiest person.

However, things were a little different from what he imagined.

Ximen Chuxue couldn't imagine why a top swordsman would cry. Xue Chen's reaction was also very intriguing.
