"Li Wu is a martial arts talent that His Majesty values, and Eunuch Chang was sent by His Majesty. If he kills Eunuch Chang and escapes, isn't that a slap in His Majesty's face?"
Another official wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered.
"This matter has become a big deal, we have to find a solution quickly!" someone else interrupted anxiously.
"How about...putting the blame on Xia He?"
Someone nearby suddenly became furious.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down!"
An older official narrowed his eyes and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Lord Liu is right. Xia He is not only innocent, but he has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. He has the support of Li the Governor behind him. We cannot afford to offend him!"
"What else can we do? We can't take the blame for this!"
"Then write a memorial and report the whole matter without exaggerating anything. Let His Majesty make the decision."
The older official sighed and said helplessly.
Everyone nodded, but they were still uneasy.
On the other side, inside the Yunzhou government office, Liu Rushuang and Tie Zhan came hurriedly.
…
In the early morning of the Yunzhou government office, Xia He was sitting in the hall, eating breakfast slowly.
On the table was a bowl of steaming rice porridge, a few side dishes, and two steamed buns fresh from the pot.
He looked indifferent, as if last night's bloody storm had nothing to do with him.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Liu Rushuang and Tie Zhan rushed in one after another.
As soon as Tie Zhan entered the room, he shouted loudly:
"Xia He! You are so brave! You actually led the troops to destroy Xuantian Temple! And you caused such a big commotion!"
Xia He raised his head, glanced at him, took a bite of the steamed bun leisurely, and said vaguely:
"Brother Tie, don't be so angry so early in the morning. Come, sit down and eat something together?"
Tie Zhan sat down opposite him, staring and saying:
"Eat? How can I have the heart to eat! Eunuch Chang is dead! If His Majesty heard about this, wouldn't he be furious? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Xia He put down his chopsticks, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Brother Tie, you are wrongly accusing me. I didn't kill Eunuch Chang. I tried my best to save him, but I was powerless! Li Wu acted too quickly. I didn't even have a chance to stop him."
Tie Zhan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, patted the table and said:
"Good! Xia He, I, Tie Zhan, admire your courage! You dare to act and take responsibility, you are worthy of being a man!"
Liu Rushuang on the side did not smile. She frowned slightly and asked softly:
"Xia He, Li Wu...did he really kill Eunuch Chang?"
Liu Rushuang sighed, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes: "As a true disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword School, he became famous at a young age and is gifted. He should have a bright future, but now... it's really sad."
Tie Zhan waved his hand disapprovingly:
"What's so sad? He killed Eunuch Chang, that was his own death! Besides, Xuantian Temple harbored a barbarian assassin, he deserved death! Xia He has made a great contribution this time!"
Liu Rushuang shook her head helplessly and said softly, "You guys are really careless."
He is increasingly unable to see through Xia He!
Growing up in the capital, even those aristocratic families do things according to the rules and use their power to suppress others.
But Xia He's behavior was unorthodox, which caused shocks in her heart.
"So, the Barbarian Assassin has been found?"
Xia He looked up at her and shook his head:
"The barbarian assassin has been found, but I'm afraid there is someone else who killed the Yunzhou officials."
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhan widened his eyes and asked in a rough voice:
"What do you mean? Wasn't it the barbarians who did it?"
Xia He drank a mouthful of soy milk, breathed a sigh of relief, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said slowly:
"If the barbarian assassin wanted to kill someone, why would he specifically target officials from Youzhou? There must be some reason that we haven't found out yet."
Liu Rushuang and Tie Zhan looked at each other and both felt that it made sense.
Liu Rushuang pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Can you find other clues?"
"No, Senior Sister Zhu personally led people to Youzhou. Wait for her news."
Tie Zhan scratched his head and muttered, "This case is getting more and more complicated as we investigate..."
In the next few days, Xia He concentrated on practicing "Divine Blood Method" and "Burning Sky Power".
With the golden blood salt obtained from Xuantian Temple and the strange fire lotus seeds, his cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds, and his proficiency increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the secret room, Xia He sat cross-legged, with a faint blood-red halo surrounding him. His breathing was long and powerful, and he could feel the blood rushing in his body with every breath.
The medicinal power of the golden blood salt was absorbed by him bit by bit and integrated into his blood, making his energy and blood more vigorous.
The cultivation of Burning Sky Power was even more powerful. The scorching energy contained in the strange fire lotus seeds was guided by him to Dantian, transformed into pure internal force that flowed through his limbs and bones.

"boom!"
At a certain moment, a low roar came from Xia He's body, as if some barrier was broken.
His Tiangang Bati Jue finally broke through to the second level, and his physical strength increased again.
The surface of his skin was faintly radiant with a metallic sheen. At the same time, his cultivation had naturally broken through to the realm of perfect internal organ refining.
