out of time

After Xu Qing finished speaking, everyone pondered.

Although they didn't see the assassination with their own eyes, the essence of the assassination has emerged from Xu Qing's description.

Especially the suspicious points that Xu Qing mentioned, no matter how you look at them, they are very wrong.

"What kind of power can you carry out the assassination in the imperial capital, and make it difficult for all parties and the imperial capital formation to be concealed and difficult to detect, or in other words, what kind of power can make everything in the imperial capital Become silent and slow."

The captain suddenly spoke.

Xu Qing didn't speak, Zi Xuan and Li Yunshan looked towards the palace.

In the entire imperial capital, the Human Sovereign is one of the forces that can do this, or the power that the Human Sovereign is afraid of, and the other is the Great Sword Emperor.

Xu Qing and others lack information about the forces that the Emperor fears, so it is difficult to analyze.

As for the sword-wielding emperor, it was a miracle that Xu Qing woke up when he arrived. He couldn't wake up all the time, and there was no reason to do so.

"What if... at that time Ah Qing blew up the Sun of Dawn, what would happen?" Zixuan said suddenly.

"The imperial capital of the human race is in chaos, with countless deaths and injuries. All sides are shaken. While losing face, it will also become the laughing stock of all races. No matter who is at fault in the end, this matter... we cannot escape our responsibility and will lose the initiative , the ending is difficult to judge, at that time, the attitude of the emperor is the key."

Li Yunshan answered slowly and frowned.

"Interesting." A sneer appeared on the captain's face.

"He, indeed, has the means to grasp all of Xiao Ah Qing's whereabouts, and is capable of arranging this assassination, and it is in his interest that Xiao Ah Qing not die."

"But when all the clues and spearheads are pointing at that person...how do I feel that this matter is not so simple."

"Is it possible that this is a divorce?"

"Or, the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to make us suspicious, and every step we make next is actually a pawn on the chessboard."

The captain's eyes were full of meaning and his voice echoed in the courtyard.

"And let's analyze it in a different way. We don't care about the people behind the scenes. We think about it from ourselves. What will we do when we encounter such a thing."

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing, then at Zixuan, and finally at Li Yunshan who was in charge of holding the sword.

A deep voice came from Li Yunshan.

"We will let the sword bearer from Fenghai County enter the city as soon as possible. While protecting Xu Qing, we will also investigate this matter."

"At the same time, report this matter to Shenglan Dayu."

The captain shook his head upon hearing this.

"It's right to do it this way, but when there are too many people, there will inevitably be suspicions of usurping. At that time, the water of this assassination will be more chaotic, but we can't do nothing... Xiao Ah Qing was assassinated. It's a signal..."

Li Yunshan was silent, and after the captain said this, he stopped talking.

The entire courtyard was quiet, only the wind and rain were whistling outside, setting off raindrops and falling, while the sky in the distance, behind the dark clouds, gradually began to glow with the sun.

Xu Qing didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and he listened to everyone's analysis. Combined with his own experience, his thoughts spread. He thought of the national teacher that Nihuhu said... and also thought of the answer he analyzed on the way.

After a long time, Zixuan retracted his gaze towards the palace and spoke calmly.

"Human Sovereign, to be recognized by the Great Emperor, should have the style of an emperor, and it is not easy to make a decision, but in any case, this matter, Xu Qing, your decision is more important."

Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace. After a while, he nodded.

"Then, let's report this matter to the Human Emperor in the name of Shenglan Domain. The results we can analyze, the Human Emperor and other forces will naturally be able to analyze as well."

"What is the purpose of the people behind the scenes, we don't need to guess, we will see the follow-up of the Human Emperor on this matter."

Zixuan agreed, Li Yunshan thought about it, and chose to acquiesce.

As for the captain, he blinked and spoke in a low voice.

"Little Aqing, do you still remember when we first went to Fenghai County? Your decision was correct, but I think it's better that we still have to cry and make trouble at the same time."

Xu Qing thought for a while, his complexion gradually turned pale, and he looked seriously injured...

"That's not enough, little Ah Qing, let me help you."

The captain was eager to try, but Li Yunshan felt a little speechless and turned his head away.

Zixuan glanced at the captain coldly. The captain shrank his head and laughed a few times, his heart full of regret.

In this way, time passed, and soon dawn, and about the assassination of Xu Qing at night, spread like a storm, and it was not known whether it was true or not. As the news spread, all forces in the imperial capital, All were shaken.

Along with the news of the assassination, there was Xu Qing's recent situation.

Xu Qing endured his injuries, and after being escorted back to the mansion, his injuries exploded and he fell into a coma. Fortunately, there was still a glimmer of hope, and Fenghai County was doing its best to protect and treat him.

The news kept spreading and caused a sensation in all directions. Meng Yunbai and Huang Kun came here to visit for the first time. Although they didn't see Xu Qing, they were received by the captain, but their nervousness and the performance of trying to clear up the suspicion all showed Shocked by this.

The emperor's son of the Supreme Star Emperor Sect also arranged for the elixir to be sent to show his goodwill.

At the same time, everyone at the Hongchenlou banquet was like this, even Hongchenlou came here to visit.

In addition, Qi Ye and others in Shenglan Dayu also learned about this matter through Li Yunshan's message, and the entire Shenglan Dayu dispatched troops immediately.

A large number of sacrificial rituals began to be held in half of the Black Spirit Territory, causing the world to roar and shake.

What's even more astonishing is the direction of offering sacrifices to the moon. The son's aura erupted into the sky, and the power of the gods enveloped all directions. Even the Niyue Hall where Princess Mingmei and the fifth grandmother were located all erupted with fluctuations of the gods.

There is also the sword energy from the old nine, shaking the sky.

Their aura erupted in Jiyue, and after uniting together, they shook all directions. This is their way of expressing their anger on this matter.

At the same time, in the imperial capital, the jade slips that everyone from Fenghai County played together on Xu Qing's behalf were reported layer by layer and sent to the emperor.

This jade slip describes the incident objectively, with the piece of black paper attached.

As for the sword bearers stationed there, they were not summoned to the mansion, they were still outside, Xu Qing and the others did nothing, they just reported the matter in full.

No matter who the person behind the scenes is or what their purpose is, Feng Haijun's choice is to remain unchanged and respond to all changes, and the Emperor's suspicion is the greatest, so... let's play the Emperor, the attitude of the other party is not just Xu Qing and the others who are watching All parties in the imperial capital are watching.

And that jade slip, an hour after it was sent into the palace, a majestic voice spread throughout the entire capital.

"Shangxuan Sword-holding Palace, Silu Palace, Extraordinary Palace, and the Three Palaces will be checked together, and the results must be found within one month!"

This is the emperor's decree.

At the moment when the news came out, in the main halls of Sword Holding Palace, Silu Palace, and Extraordinary Palace, there were bursts of light, forming an illusory tall figure in the sky and earth, exuding terror, and bowed to the palace.

"According to the order!"

Later, a holy pill from the imperial palace was sent to Ningyan's mansion. The pill was crystal clear and full of strange fragrance. Even the pill bottle that contained this pill was unusual, made of bone.

"Return the elixir!"

The moment Ning Yan saw this pill, Ning Yan exclaimed.

"This elixir is not widely available in the imperial palace. It is said that some of the main medicines in it are extinct in Wanggu and can only be found in the Holy Land... This elixir is amazingly effective in healing wounds. It is also effective even for the wounds of the Heavenly King." .”

"This one is of infinite value."

The captain's eyes were also straightened, and he licked his lips instinctively. Xu Qing raised his hand and held it in front of him. After carefully identifying it, his heart was also disturbed.

Based on his understanding of the way of medicine, this elixir is extremely good, and the refining technique is unheard of before, and the most astonishing thing... is that the moment the elixir was taken out, the surrounding thin foreign matter was actually suppressed.

Even the spiritual source in Xu Qing's body accelerated.

"There are some mysterious ingredients in it."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, and under the captain's eager eyes, put away the pill.

The captain blinked, and began to think in his heart how he could trick this pill... But he found it difficult, so he sighed and thought to himself that little Aqing was smarter now, so it's not easy to be fooled.

In the following time, the emperor's decree came into play. The Palace of Holding Swords, the Palace of Laws and the Palace of Extraordinary Orders, and the Three Palaces were very attentive in investigating the assassination.

He even went to the ghost and mythical sect.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the imperial capital was tense, and all kinds of young people who had nothing to do with this matter were trembling.

As for the clues, under such investigation, there are naturally some, but Xu Qing didn't pay attention to it. Half a month later, his "injury" recovered, and he made his first public appearance, going out with Zixuan.

At Zixuan's place, after Xu Qing experienced the assassination, he no longer went out to investigate the Shangqing Lantern, but stayed by Xu Qing's side until he recovered from his injuries.

So in the following days, every time Xu Qing went out, he was with Zixuan. The two of them traveled all over the imperial capital. Every time they were in some places, Zixuan would stop to sense the direction of the lamp.

"There are a total of nine locations where the fluctuations of the lamp exist. Three of them are in the palace, two are underground, and four are on the ancient emperor star."

"As for the specific location, I need some auxiliary things to accurately detect it."

"Xu Qing, among these auxiliary things, I can refine the equipment myself, but I also need a special blood pill refined with my blood for stimulation."

Zi Xuan looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded.

"I'll help you practice."

In this way, after the induction was over, the two of them, Yu Huang, bought a lot of materials and went back to Ningyan's mansion, one for refining tools and one for alchemy.

The refining of the blood elixir cannot be accomplished overnight because of its special nature. It requires an elixir furnace as a carrier, and at regular intervals, depending on the degree of condensation of the blood elixir, it needs to be blessed with cultivation and other medicinal herbs added.

Xu Qing was very concerned about this, and let time pass by, and half a month passed quickly. When the blood pill was finally refined, only a few days away, a decree from the palace was passed to Ningyan's mansion.

The content of this decree affects all parties, because... the emperor finally summoned him!

"Call Shenglan Dayu Xu Qing, see you!"

"Call the twelve sons, Gu Yue Ning Yan, to see him!"
