There is a secret passage in the palace that leads directly to the outside of the city. This is the ultimate way to save your life, and it is also a secret passed down from generation to generation by successive emperors.

But now, Chu Yuanzhao directly led his troops into the palace through this secret passage.

If this wasn't a secret that Bai Xuan knew a long time ago, then it meant that Tianjing Emperor Chu Chun had informed Chu Yuanzhao of this matter. If so, then it would be clear at a glance who his attitude was.

But these, Xie Qian and Chu Lingyue didn't care.

Because although Chu Yuanzhao went straight to the hinterland, Emperor Jiuxi was no longer in the palace, and what Chu Yuanzhao did was not just letting them catch a turtle in their urn.

At this moment, Xie Qian and Chu Lingyue split into two groups and besieged the palace.

As for the four parts of the capital, Wen Yao controls the overall situation; in the northern border there are Wen Yu and Xie Wuya, and the Chiling Mansion has stood proudly in the northern border for many years, and its feats over the years are obvious to all. Therefore, under the full banner of the Chiling Mansion, even without the heartfelt appeal of the Chiling Mansion, there are many more followers in all parts of Dachu.

There are commoners responding, there are casual cultivators who fight for justice, and there are guards and generals who leave the customs... In short, batch after batch, they all shouted "willing to live and die together with the Chiling Mansion", which was completely out of control. It was beyond Xie Qian's expectation.

It has to be said that at this moment, Xie Qian couldn't help but once again understood the choice of the Chiling Mansion to guard the northern battlefield against the wind and sand for generations, as if... those years of indomitable progress were suddenly endowed with meaning.

Xie Qian frowned, riding on the tall horse, looking up at Miyagi, which seemed too silent at the moment.

And Mu Xiaoxiao and Yun Rongrong are actually martial servants. When he was young, they were the ones who protected him by his side. Therefore, when he was bathed in blood, Mu Xiaoxiao and Yun Rongrong were on both sides. Seeing this situation, Yun Rongrong Holding the horse rope and frowning, he said, "Empty city plan?"

Xie Qian didn't speak, Mu Xiaoxiao on the other side pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Maybe not, the opponent seems to be coming in a menacing manner, but in fact their strength is limited. Now that they are stalemate everywhere, I am afraid there is no more fighting power left."

Xie Qian tilted his head, thinking in his heart, what Mu Xiaoxiao said should be right, Bai Xuan painstakingly responded to it for many years, but the Chiling Mansion and the Shenshu Mansion are also a hundred-year-old mansion, and now they are firmly tied together. In the final analysis, Bai Xuan still had no one left or right.

Furthermore, now that Changfeng Academy, which Gu Chenwei belongs to, is on their side again, the reputations of Chu Yuanzhao and Chu Lingyue are changing one after another, Chu Yuanzhao has lost his public reputation, and it is not the best to use his name as King Qin choose.

But at present, Bai Xuan has no other choice. The four princes on Tianjing Emperor's face are either dissolute or weak. In comparison, Chu Yuanzhao is the winner among them, and Bai Xuan has no one else to rely on.

So this battle is inevitable, unless Bai Xuan is willing to hide it, but obviously he is not reconciled.

At this moment, a scout came to report that Chu Lingyue entered from the east gate and encountered the army led by Lu Youyuan on the way. At this moment, the two sides were already facing each other.

Xie Qian's eyes moved when he heard the words, and he was a little worried about Chu Lingyue's body, but now there was no other way, Xie Qian could only trust Chu Lingyue.

So with a wave of his hand, a group of people drove straight in from Ximen.

The clatter of horseshoes and the clash of metal armor rang the resplendent and silent Miyagi. Along the way, apart from the startled birds on the branches, there were no other people.

But the more so, the more vigilant Yun Rongrong and Mu Xiaoxiao became, leaving guards along the way.

At the end of the journey, they reached the bottom of the 99 long stairs in front of the Xuanhe Hall without hindrance.

Xie Qian raised his head from below, squinted his eyes slightly and looked up to the highest place. Bai Xuan was standing in front of the hall in a gray robe, and the wind from above lifted the thin corners of his clothes.

Xie Qian couldn't see his face clearly, but he vaguely felt that there was a gentle smile on Bai Xuan's face, and it felt like the kind of...a grown-up who watched a child make a fuss, and for no reason showed a trace of superior compassion like.

The two sides stared at each other in silence for a long time, and finally Bai Xuan spoke first, his voice still calm: "Day and night, how are you doing these days?"

"My son said that the mansion is quiet and people are safe, and it is good to have a soft pillow every night." Xie Qian was silent for a while, then raised his head and smiled, "It's not like the high priest is in the imperial tomb, which is damp and hard. It’s hard to be a high priest these days.”

Xie Qian hadn't guessed where they were hiding before, but when they appeared in the palace, Xie Qian suddenly figured it out. They had searched Changfujing before, but they forgot only one place - Liufeng where the imperial mausoleum is located. Mountain.

Although Liufeng Mountain has always been guarded by special personnel, it is unlikely that there will be no movement, but since Bai Xuan is Chu Shuangtian, there is a mausoleum after Chu Shuangtian died in the world, and Chu Shuangtian's mausoleum was designed by himself before his death. Of course, only he knows what kind of detours there are in the blueprint, and it is not easy to hide a few people.

However, Bai Xuan is worthy of being a person who has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain. At this time, he heard the words as if he didn't hear them. He didn't care about the sword in the words. , I'm afraid that Yan Shu will suffer a lot of bad words if he is with you."

After saying this, Bai Xuan tilted his head and glanced towards the east gate, Xie Qian followed him, and vaguely heard the clinking of blades.

Bai Xuan closed his eyes and listened for a while, then turned around and smiled at Xie Qian: "It will probably take at least a quarter of an hour for Li Yanshu to come over."

Xie Qian also estimated Chu Lingyue's victory in his heart, his words were calm, but the content could not help but be a little sharp: "The overall situation is set, but the high priest is indifferent."

"Really." Bai Xuan suddenly took a step, walked towards the edge of the steps, and then seemed to have the intention of stepping down the hundred-step high platform, "It's up to the sky, don't force it, if you have this time, why don't you talk about the world, you What about day and night?"

As soon as Bai Xuan moved, Yun Rongrong and Mu Xiaoxiao immediately became alert, and their swords were slightly unsheathed.

When Xie Qian heard this, he understood what Bai Xuan meant - he was willing to take this opportunity to mercifully answer Xie Qian's doubts.

This is a good opportunity, but Xie Qian frowned when he heard it. With Bai Xuan's attitude, he didn't know whether it was a broken pot or a winning chance, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

Bai Xuan walked down slowly, and continued to ask: "It's been a few days since Dayi and I have talked to each other, right? Especially in recent days, don't you have any doubts in your heart?"

Xie Qian lowered his eyebrows when he heard the words.

In fact, until now, things have a rough outline, and there is nothing to argue about.

The annihilation of the Chiling Mansion in the previous life was caused by Bai Xuan behind the scenes. It was he who connected the Zhuang family, Zhisusi, Weiyun Mansion, Lou Yue's attack, and Yu Feng's rebellion into a single thread. If any one of the links is passed, the Chi Ling Mansion may not end up in the last end.

As for why Yu Feng listened to Bai Xuan's words, Xie Qian can figure it out now. After all, what Yu Feng is after is a world-class reputation. The Chiling Mansion is gone. As a general left over from the northern border, these things are natural. It fell on him, presumably Bai Xuan used this as a temptation.

As for Lou Yue, in fact, as a descendant of the Chu family, Bai Xuan might not be willing to hand over the Great Chu City to others. It’s just that he didn’t see the end in his previous life, so I don’t know if Bai Xuan has any plans after that, but one thing is for sure. , Bai Xuan must have wanted Lou Yueguo's secret technique on life extension, but unexpectedly the result was not satisfactory.

There is also Lu Youyuan, who had heard Wen Yu talk about the past before, Lu Youyuan had been mediocre for half his life, and suddenly met such a 'sage' who could wash his scriptures and cut his marrow, he must be desperate.

……

All in all, it's all about everything, and almost all traceable.

However, there are two points, Xie Qian is still a little uncertain, one is why Bai Xuan targeted the Chiling Mansion, and the other is why Bai Xuan instructed the Queen Mother to marry him and Chu Lingyue.

Xie Qian looked up at Bai Xuan, but in the end he still didn't ask anything.

But with Bai Xuan's insight into people's minds, with just one glance, he knows what's in his mind.

Bai Xuan didn't seem to care at all, and directly explained the whole story: "In the previous life, your father accidentally discovered my secret. At that time, everything was uncertain, so I naturally couldn't just sit idly by."

But it was clearly such a serious matter, he managed it like this, and cruelly ruined the lives of all the families in the Chiling Mansion, but now he can still say it so lightly.

Even though Xie Qian had already known it in his heart, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

Bai Xuan didn't seem to see him, and continued: "As for you and Yan Shu getting married, it's the fate of fate, and it's perfect. Once the marriage is completed, your fate will naturally be tied together."

He paused when he said this, and then said softly: "By the way, I don't know if you know that the Chu family's secret technique is called 'Fate Bound'."

Sure enough.

As soon as he said this, Xie Qian's lips turned pale in an instant.

Earlier, he and Chu Lingyue guessed that Chu Lingyue's life was in Bai Xuan's hands, but they never thought that it was true.

And Bai Xuan over there seemed to be afraid that Xie Qian wouldn't understand, chattering: "Fate and fate, naturally it is the fate of Yanshu and me."

"And if you are inseparable from his life palace, of course you can't be separated from me."

"So, day and night, thank you and Yan Shu for living for me." Bai Xuan said.

It was obviously a very peaceful tone, but in Xie Qian's eyes, his current face was almost hideous.

Xie Qian had heard earlier that when a person is young, his fate is unstable and he is most likely to be invaded by evil spirits.

And Chu Lingyue was weak and sick when he was young, and he always regarded Bai Xuan who treated him as a god, but who knew that this "god" was the source of Chu Lingyue's weakness and sickness. When he was young, he was stealing his life!

And his fateful marriage with Chu Lingyue made it easy for Bai Xuan to steal his life along with it.

No wonder, no wonder Bai Xuan would try his best to promote their marriage, fate changed from time to time, and at some point, there would be no such fetters between him and Chu Lingyue; He alone survived, so it was.

Xie Qian gritted his teeth, staring at Bai Xuan with eyes as cold as ice: "But I did it all over again."

"So what." Bai Xuan spread his hands, "I'm an outsider, and I've come back again, day and night, maybe you should thank me, if he didn't marry me, Yan Shu might not be able to have your past lives memory, isn't it?"

Xie Qian stared at him, his lips pursed tightly.

Bai Xuan clapped his hands, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly said: "By the way, Zhou Xi, I think you forgot one thing, do you know who planted the 'spirit control' for you in the previous life?"

Hearing this, Xie Qian's expression suddenly changed. He has indeed been avoiding this matter on purpose recently. He knows that some things are actually not suitable to get to the bottom of it.

But Bai Xuan wanted him to understand clearly: "It was Xu Shangqing, the father of your good friend Xu Ji. As for the reason, it was also very simple. At that time, Xu Ji secretly took bribes and went astray. The Hou Mansion is already in decline, so it cannot bear such a blow, but the Xu family has been in court for a long time, it should not be difficult to settle this matter."

He paused for a moment, then glanced at Xie Qian with a smile, his smile was full of teasing, and then he said: "But you were at Yushitai at the time, and you were the one to investigate this case, even though you and Xu Ji have been friends for many years, But Xu Shangqing also knows that you will not be favoritism because of this."

"And day and night, during your time at Yushitai, you have handled many cases, and you don't know how many high-ranking officials and dignitaries you have dealt with."

"You are loyal and upright, but can the court really tolerate the existence of such a person who threatens them all the time?"

When it came to the end, Bai Xuan made a final decision, and his Youyou voice was like a ghost: "So day and night, in fact, the disaster in Chiling Mansion was caused by you."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, everyone has waited for a long time, and it will not be like this in the future.
