Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 261
After taking out the cloth bag full of heads, Qingsan took out an arrow from the quiver, first pierced it through the cloth bag, then bent the bow and set the arrow, aiming at the position where Jiang Qingyu was, loosened the string and shot.

Swah——

In the blink of an eye, this arrow came half a foot in front of Jiang Qingyu's body, with a piercing sharpness and murderous intent!
It seems that he wants to take the life of the newly promoted Prince of the North!

"what--"

Li Que'er was so frightened that she froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"Be careful, son!"

Luqi and Duyou pulled out the Shuoyue Sword and Wangquan Sword in their hands, stepped forward, and stopped Jiang Qingyu.

But one person was one step faster than them.

"Hmph, dare!"

After hearing a cold snort, everyone saw a red figure appearing in front of the two girls, grabbing the arrow with bare hands.

This person is none other than the adopted son of the King of the North, Jiang Langya.

After grabbing the arrow, he glanced coldly at the head in the cloth bag, then frowned, his face dark and cold.

Jiang Qingyu took a few steps forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with the other party, and looked at Budai.

He saw more than a dozen heads in the cloth bag, some of which he couldn't recognize, but many of them were familiar faces.

At least half of them are people from the rivers and lakes who resigned from the fleet yesterday!
Among them was Jin Shan from the Spirit Sword Sect!

A master in the late stage of Haoyue Realm!
He still remembered that this group of people told him yesterday that there would be a meeting later, that they would visit the palace if they had the opportunity in the future, but they lost their lives in the blink of an eye!

"Yes Yes……"

At this time, Xiong Xing and Xiong Hun also recognized the heads of Jin Shan and the others, and their panic could not be concealed in their eyes:
"Dead, all dead!"

"This time, Jing Xuan is going to drive all of us to death!"

Jin Shan and other people in the world have never offended Jing Xuan, nor did they do anything wrong in Qingzhou, so there is only one cause of death——

They saw what they shouldn't see, so they were killed and silenced!

And everyone on this fleet is the same as the dead, and they should all be killed if they learn secrets they shouldn't know!
Thinking of this, Xiong Hui and the others looked desperate.

at the same time.

Xu Zhan threw himself to the side of the cloth bag, holding several heads in both hands, trembling all over:

"It's Dumb, Uncle Fat, and Master Jiu!"

"They, they are all dead!"

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help sighing softly.

It is not difficult to guess that these people should be bandits under Xu Zhan's command.

Jing Xuan's revenge came quickly.

Although Huamanlou's killers had slaughtered the group of officers and soldiers including Li Gui last night, he got the news from nowhere. revenge!
"Ah!"

Xu Zhan's hands were covered with blood, and his eyes were filled with resentment. He fixed his eyes on the fat figure on the battleship in front of him, and his murderous intent was undisguised:
"Jing Xuan, I want to..."

however……

Only halfway through this sentence, his eyes swept to another person, and his eyes suddenly became extremely dull:

"No, it's impossible!"

"How could it be you! Impossible!"

Jiang Qingyu followed the other party's gaze, but saw beside Jing Xuan, there was a slender and beautiful woman with a complicated expression.

Obviously, the two knew each other, and their relationship was extraordinary!
Jing Xuan glanced at the two of them, frowning slightly.

Although he was sure that the slender woman was clean when she entered the palace, it was inevitable that she had some old lover outside!

He is very possessive.

If this woman has any unclear relationship with other men...

Then he must let the other party watch this man tortured to death!

So the next moment, he and Jiang Qingyu asked at the same time:
"Do you know?"

Xu Zhan kept silent, just gritted his teeth and stared at the woman, his face was full of puzzlement and questioning.

The woman restrained her expression, bowed towards Jingxuan, and introduced indifferently:

"My lord, this person's name is Xu Zhan, and he is the younger brother of this servant."

"Brother?"

Hearing this explanation, Jing Xuan pressed his murderous intent in his heart, and said in amazement:
"Why doesn't this king know that you have a younger brother?"

"Only relying on the rotten resources of bandits, he became a Fate Star Realm in his twenties. This kind of talent is not much worse than this king's Shenbingwei! With a little training, you may not be able to become the second Qingsan!"

"Qi Lan, you should have mentioned this matter to the king earlier!"

The woman named Chu Lan lowered her head and said:

"When County Magistrate Yang sent the servant to the palace, he repeatedly told the servant to forget his former identity and cut off all previous interpersonal relationships. That's why the servant never dared to mention that he has other relatives."

"and……"

"The younger brother, Nubi, hadn't shown such outstanding talent back then. What's more, he was extremely resentful at the magistrate Yang who abducted the servant and sent him to the palace. I'm afraid he wouldn't easily submit to the prince."

Jing Xuan waved his hand and said:

"This is nothing! This king rules a state, and there are many rebellious people under his command. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with this king's style, but they all surrender to this king without exception!"

"In Qingzhou, this king is the emperor, and there is no one that this king can't conquer!"

Chulan bowed her head and remained silent.

At this time, Xu Zhan slowly raised the knife, aimed the knife at Chulan, and scolded:
"Xu Lan! How can you admit that a thief is your husband?"

"You know, because of Jing Xuan, because of County Magistrate Yang, my father had his legs broken by officers and soldiers and committed suicide by jumping into a well! Because of them, thousands of people in our village are now walking away, dying, and only the shortcomings are left. half!"

"I always thought that my elder sister was a woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. After going to the palace, she would definitely commit suicide in order not to be defiled by animals! But today I realized that I was wrong!"

"My sister is willing to serve her father-killing enemy in order to survive!"

"Dirty, really dirty!"

Chu Lan trembled all over, as if she was ashamed by her brother's words.

She doesn't have to care if others insult her as a lowly person.

But being humiliated by his own brother in public is unbearable and painful!

"Xiao Zhan, I, I did this for you!"

Chulan gritted her teeth tightly, not letting herself cry, and at the same time said to herself in her heart:

"If I hadn't gained status in the palace, if I hadn't secretly warned the county magistrate Yang not to target you, you, a gang of worthless thieves, would have been wiped out by the officers and soldiers long ago!"

"A month ago, you bought a realm-breaking elixir from a black market merchant to advance to the Star Realm. Why do you think that merchant met you at that time, and happened to have a pill in his hand that would help you advance to the Star Realm?" Innate boundary-breaking elixir?"

"Is it because of your luck?"

"No, it's because of me, my sister who you think is mean and dirty, who arranged all this!"

"Xiao Zhan, mother and father are both dead, and now you are the only family member left! No matter what others think of me, no matter what you have to pay, I will let you live well!"

It's a pity that Xu Zhan couldn't hear all this.

He only thinks that his sister should be a chaste and strong woman, and have the integrity of dying rather than surrendering, instead of being Jing Xuan's plaything, and he should be proud of it!

At this time, the five warships brought by Jingxuan had come to a place less than twenty feet away from the Xiong's fleet.

He looked at Xu Zhan with an ugly smile on his face:

"Your name is Xu Zhan, right? Chulan's younger brother?"

"Chu Lan is my king's woman, so you and this king are also relatives!"

"I'm really sorry, this king only found out about this today, otherwise I would have brought you into the palace early and devoted all my resources to training you. How could you have been a bandit outside for so long, it would be a waste of this talent!"

Xu Zhan didn't appreciate it, and scolded angrily:
"I'm a bandit, didn't you force me to do it?"

"Don't flirt with me, I'm a lifeless pariah, I'm not qualified to be your relative of King Qingjiang, and I don't have a sister named Chulan!"

"My sister is Xu Lan, she died ten years ago!"

Chu Lan trembled again when she heard the words:
"Xiao Zhan, don't be disrespectful to the prince!"

Jing Xuan reached out to stop her shoulder, showing a magnanimous look, and comforted:

"Don't be angry, kid, I don't care about unintentional words."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out another finger and stroked Chulan's throat back and forth, while staring at Xu Zhan with a playful face:

"Is it so unbearable to be a relative of the king?"

"This king is the younger brother of the current emperor. No matter how many people want to make friends, they can't do it!"

"Xu Zhan, you have to think clearly. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your sister and your subordinates who are still alive!"

The voice just fell.

Qingsan waved his hand and gestured backwards.

In an instant, dozens of Qingzhou officers and soldiers escorted dozens of bandits who were tied up and their mouths were sealed with cloth strips to the bow.

"Little fish, old shrimp..."

Xu Zhan recognized that group of people as some bandits under his command, so his eyes turned red:

"Jing Xuan, besides threatening relatives and friends, what other skills do you have?"

Jing Xuan laughed until his fat body trembled:
"Xu Zhan, the world of adults is like this, full of calculations and conspiracies!"

"To break the rules, you can only be strong."

"And submitting to this king is the way to become stronger!"

"Pooh!"

Xu Zhan spat on the ground:
"I would rather die than surrender to you!"

"Is it?"

Jing Xuan glanced at the group of thieves, and his eyes stayed on a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The officers and soldiers standing behind the bandit immediately understood, pulled the cloth strip from the man's mouth, strangled it around his neck, and pulled it hard.

Immediately, the boy showed fear in his eyes, veins popped out on his forehead, and his body struggled continuously.

"do not want!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhan hurriedly shouted.

But the officers and soldiers acted as if they hadn't heard of it. Instead, they showed ferocious eyes and increased the strength in their hands.

Jing Xuan didn't signal to stop either.

So soon, the young bandit fell silent.

"Ah!"

"Beast, beast! He's still a child!"

Xu Zhan roared angrily, and rushed forward with the knife in hand, but was grabbed by someone.

"Don't stop me! Even if I die today, I will kill this beast!"

He ran forward, but found that he couldn't run with all his strength, so he looked back...

But unexpectedly found that the one who was holding her was the weak-looking prince of the North.

"His Royal Highness..."

Xu Zhan was slightly taken aback.

He could tell that the other party's martial arts cultivation was not high, at least he hadn't set foot in Xiantian, but judging from the strength from his hand, it seemed to be stronger than his Fate Star Realm!

This puzzled him.

But before he had time to think too much, he saw Jiang Qingyu stepping forward again, pulling himself behind him, looking at Jing Xuan at the same time, bowing to him in a correct manner:

"Jiang Qingyu, the fourth son of the Northern Palace, has met the prince."

Even though He Jingxuan could be regarded as an enemy, Jiang Qingyu still showed enough courtesy and did not directly tear his face.

Now is not the time.

And Jing Xuan also squeezed out a kind smile on his face, as if seeing relatives and friends whom he had not seen for many years:

"It's sapphire!"

"What prince? You're born! Just call uncle!"

"Qingyu, I've been hearing your name for the past few days, and my ears can almost hear cocoons! 11 years ago, your father, Jiang Qiushui, spent a lot of effort to borrow the jade seal of the previous dynasty from this king, and this king has been I feel wronged! But seeing you lead the army to conquer Beidi today, all the grievances have been swept away!"

"My king now thinks that this jade seal is considered a treasure and a hero in your hands. If it is in my hands, it will be just a pearl in dust!"

Yuxi with a hero?
Isn't this thing worthy of an emperor?
Jing Xuan's remarks can be said to be full of evil intentions!

Jiang Qingyu smiled and said:
"Uncle, I'm afraid I don't know, that jade seal from the previous dynasty has already been carved into a stove by my father's order."

"but……"

"This thing really helped me a lot. When I was young, my body was weak. If there was no heater to take care of me, Qingyu would still be lying on the bed three bowls of medicine a day!"

"So before leaving the palace on this trip, my father specifically asked me to personally thank Uncle Jing when I arrived in Qingzhou!"

Jing Xuan waved his hand:

"Thanks are unnecessary."

"But my king has a request."

This statement came out.

Everyone including Xiong Hui changed their expressions slightly.

Is this menacing king of Qingjiang who came with thousands of elite soldiers finally revealing his purpose?

Did he come to kill people?

But Jiang Qingyu has a calm face, seemingly confident:

"Uncle, but it doesn't matter."

Jing Xuan raised his head slightly:

"Everyone knows that this king likes to collect antiques."

"The jade seal of the previous dynasty was originally in my private possession. It was borrowed by Jiang Qiushui 11 years ago. He saved your life for you. This king can understand!"

"But after 11 years, your body has recovered. Not only did you start practicing martial arts, but you were even able to lead an army hundreds of miles north, all the way to Heishui Lake!"

"Then, shouldn't it be time to return the jade seal to the king?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xiong Hui, the leader of the fleet, immediately looked at Jiang Qingyu with anticipation.

If taking out a piece of jade can make things peaceful, then he is willing to give away all the rough stones on twenty ships in exchange for Jing Xuan's letting go!
But Jiang Qingyu didn't think so:

"Uncle Jing's words are wrong. I remember my father clearly told me that this jade was bought from my uncle with one hundred thousand arrows. How come it became a loan when it came to my uncle's mouth?"

Jing Xuan jokingly smiled and raised his hand.

In an instant, thousands of Qingzhou officers and soldiers on the five ships took out a pair of short crossbows in unison, nocked the arrows and buckled the strings.

The arrows shone with dazzling sharpness, as dense as stars, making one's scalp tingle!
Jing Xuan smiled again and said:
"I brought all the 11 arrows from [-] years ago today. I wonder if I can exchange them for the jade seal of the previous dynasty?"
