Chapter 479 Retreating in the same way as others

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!I drove home early in the morning, but it was still stuck in traffic for four and a half hours. The land reclamation gritted its teeth and insisted on updating. Please encourage me.

※※※※

'Qianwu Shenji' Qin Xiyan was very preoccupied when she flew towards Yuri Shenzhou.

This stems from the dire situation she has faced for more than a month.

Originally everything was fine, the Wuxiang Shenzong won a big victory in Canglangyuan, and the Tieshan Qin clan suffered a serious setback.

So much so that Anbei General Qin Sheng fled south overnight, and dared not return to Youzhou for a full month.

At that time, not only the many uncles and brothers in Tieshan Qin's family were falling for Qin Xiyan.Even the imperial court is quite dependent on it.

The situation in Northeast China has changed drastically, and the power of the imperial court has completely collapsed.

Qin Sheng and Wuxiang Shenzong had constant quarrels, minor enmities, and suspicion of betraying Qin Muge.

When the power of the Wuxiang Shenzong was fully restored, this person could no longer gain a foothold in the north.

Although Qin Sheng relies on the support of the imperial court, and still leads the post of "supervisor of the military forces of the two states of Bingji", in essence, he has been emptied by internal and external forces.

This 'Mirror Spear Supervisor' can neither help the imperial court control the Northland nor support the Tieshan Qin clan.

Even the patriarch of the Qin family suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons recently.

According to Qin Xiyan's estimation, if the imperial court wants to maintain the situation in Youzhou, it will have to change course and give her more resources to support her.

However, the situation changed not long ago. Several uncles who had fallen in love with her were removed from important positions by the court, which changed the internal wind direction of the Qin family.

In addition, the cultivation resources Ouchi provided to her have also been reduced a lot.

Qin Xiyan was also very unhappy in Wuxiang Shenzong.

In the battle against Canglangyuan, she did have great reservations.

Many fellow disciples of Wuxiang Shenzong have noticed that not only are a large number of senior brothers rejecting her, but also some of Qin Xiyan's friends are also consciously alienating her.

At this time, her situation was actually internal and external oppression.

The reason why Qin Xiyan came to Wang'an to meet the emperor this time was to solve these difficulties.

She wanted to know the reasons for these changes. To persuade Emperor Jianyuan to continue to support her, it would be best to provide more financial support.

Tieshan Qin's family has a great career, and Qin Xiyan herself has no shortage of cultivation resources.

She can fully afford the consumption of cultivating the Divine Will Touching Death Knife.

However, if Qin Xiyan wanted to fight against Qin Sheng and fight for the control of Tieshan Qin Clan, she had to train her subordinates.

She also had to secretly cooperate with the imperial court to check and balance Wuxiang Shenzong, spending money like running water, and had to rely on the imperial court.

However, Qin Xiyan encountered setbacks just after she entered Wang'an.

Due to the change of imperial edict, Emperor Jianyuan postponed the time to summon her to seven days later.She went to the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of War to seek an audience, but the Minister of the Ministry of War who had always been friendly to her closed the door.

Just when Qin Xiyan was upset, she saw the sun-bathing Shenzhou hanging above Wang'an City.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xiyan decided to go to visit and meet that Junior Brother Chu.

Chu Xisheng is not what it used to be.

This Sword Lord not only enjoys high prestige in the northern states, but his status within Wuxiang Shenzong is almost equal to that of the great elders in the sect.

In addition, he himself seems to have mastered a powerful force. The Iron Banner Gang under his sect has gathered many masters, and there are already more than a dozen of them at the second and third ranks.

It is said that there is also Tianbang Shuxiu who works for him.

Qin Xiyan knew that as long as this person said a word, her situation in Wuxiang Shenzong would be greatly improved.

In addition, recently, there has been a wave of turmoil within the Tieshan Qin family.

Many people pointed out that the imperial court may not be reliable, and they must close the relationship with Wuxiang Shenzong to resolve the grievances between the two parties.

Many people even fell in love with Chu Xisheng and wanted to marry him.

A powerful first-rank martial artist can live up to 600 years.

If one member of the Tieshan Qin clan can become Chu Xisheng's Taoist companion, then in the next 600 years, the Tieshan Qin clan will have no worries.

Now there are several extremely suitable candidates in their clan, and Qin Xiyan is one of them.

Qin Xiyan herself felt it was absurd.

She thinks that her own family members are simply wishful thinking.

However, there is no harm in forming a friendship with Chu Xisheng.

After the Canglangyuan war, she visited Chu Xisheng many times to ask for advice on Yazi Dao, just to bring the relationship closer.

This person's heart is wider than the rumors, and he is kind to her, and he is very attentive when teaching her sword skills.

It can be seen that Chu Xisheng doesn't have much grudge against her.

Just as Qin Xiyan was thinking, a voice came from the Yuri Shenzhou.

"Did Princess Qin come to visit my Patriarch?"

It was a middle-aged man in white clothes, with a clear and fair face, but a scrawled beard on the chin, and an unruly temperament.

The boat head standing on the sun-bathed Shenzhou was looking at her.

Qin Xiyan narrowed her eyes.

The person in front of him was none other than Chu Xisheng's most important Taoist attendant—Kurangjian Fengsan!
They met once in Youzhou before.

"Exactly!"

Qin Xiyan glanced at the boat, and when she saw Luo Hanzong, the Great Master of the Stars, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then her smile returned.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time, is your master here?"

"The lord went up to the west mountain." Kuang Jianfeng nodded slightly and said: "I have already communicated with the lord, and the lord replied that if the princess has time, you might as well go to the west mountain to ask Longfeng and his party, he will wait for you there .”

Xishan asked Longfeng?
Qin Xiyan frowned.

In fact, she doesn't really want to go out of the city to Xishan at this time.

When she came to Beijing this time, she still had many people who wanted to visit and ask to see her. The reason for coming to see Chu Xisheng was after seeing the Sun-Surrounding Shenzhou, and it was also due to Chu Xisheng's status.

But since Chu Xisheng had sent out the invitation, it was impossible for her not to go.

She didn't want to offend this contemporary martial arts myth.

Qin Xiyan secretly felt helpless, but there was no abnormal expression on her face.

"Thank you Mr. Feng for telling me!"

She cupped her hands, turned her head and flew towards the west.

And just after Qin Xiyan left, Luo Hanzong on the deck looked at her back thoughtfully.

"Brother Feng, do you think your lord has taken a fancy to this one?"

Otherwise, why offer to ask Longfeng in Xishan?

Isn't this to avoid Lu Luanli?

Although Lu Luanli had already disembarked to try to contact the owner of Rumeng Villa, she might return at any time.

'Blazing Sword' Feng San clasped his sword in both hands, lost in thought: "It is indeed possible, but it has nothing to do with you and me."

He was too lazy to meddle in the Lord's business.

What's more, as far as he knew, for some reason, the lord actually harbored great malice towards the Tieshan princess.

In Feng San's eyes, this woman is more like a little lamb about to step into the pit of the Lord.

※※※※

Wenlong Peak is the highest peak in Xishan Mountain, and it covers a large area, with a diameter of more than [-] miles at the top of the mountain.

After Qin Xiyan came to the sky above Wenlong Peak, she looked around for a while before seeing Chu Xisheng.

This man was standing on the cliff to the east, looking down towards Wang'an City from a high position.

This neighborhood is also the most famous scenic spot in Wang'an City, and it is the first of the eight scenic spots in Wang'an.

At this time, she also discovered that there were a few looming auras behind her, which followed her all the time.

These people were extremely careful, but after Qin Xiyan switched to 'Phaseless Kungfu', her cultivation level broke through to the second rank, and her spiritual perception ability increased greatly, so she vaguely noticed their traces.

Is this someone from Jin Yiwei?Or Ouchi Zhidian Supervisor?
Qin Xiyan couldn't help but hesitate.

Do you still want to see Chu Xisheng?
Qin Xiyan immediately sneered, and continued to press down the light.

It's only natural for her to see her junior.

And she was just trying to let Emperor Jianyuan know that she had no choice but the imperial court.

Chu Xisheng had sensed Qin Xiyan's arrival, raised his head and looked over with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect Junior Sister Qin to visit Ancheng as well."

Qin Xiyan couldn't help but secretly 'hummed'.

This Chu Xisheng's character is quite strong, and even her name is better than her.

But Chu Xisheng, as the Biography of the Two Saints of the Wuxiang Sect, it makes sense to call her junior sister.

Qin Xi's face remained the same, and she flew to Chu Xisheng's side; "I didn't expect that I was surprised and pleasantly surprised to see your sun-bathing Shenzhou before."

She stared at Chu Xisheng intently: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and my younger brother's demeanor is even better than before. I heard something about Dongzhou. It is said that the Iron Banner Gang has swept through the two states of Dongfei and captured [-] people in the lower reaches of the Shenxiu River." On the side of the Lihe River, it is said that it also occupies the exit of the Shanyang Canal of the Grand Canal. Now the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the masters are like a cloud. It can be said that the foundation has just been established. Congratulations to Junior Brother Chu."

Chu Xi laughed loudly when he heard the words.

He looked smug, but his words were very modest: "That little scene is not as good as your Tieshan Qin family. Although the land in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in grain and densely populated, the output of elixir is less than one-tenth of that in the north. Not to mention the natural treasures of various refining tools.

Nowadays, there are quite a few masters who come to seek refuge in my name, but the income in Jiangnan is limited, and I don't know how to support them.If the financial resources cannot be improved, the situation will fall apart over time. "

He sighed, and asked meaningfully: "Junior Sister Qin came to Beijing this time because Emperor Jianyuan invited you? You are not busy dredging your joints at this time, but took the time to look for me, presumably there is something important? "

Qin Xiyan was suffocated.

She wasn't sure if Chu Xisheng's words were intentional, sarcasm implied, or she didn't care about her approach to the court.

As for unclogging the joints—

From Qin Xiyan's point of view, Chu Xisheng was also one of the joints she had to untangle, second only to Emperor Jianyuan.

At this time, she couldn't help thinking of her sister Qin Muge.

When her elder sister Qin Muge was still alive, why did she bow her head to a boy who was a few years younger than she is now, begging for justice?

She never needed to please others, and it was always others who coaxed her.

If her sister is still there, if time can be reversed to three years ago, then no matter how dissatisfied she is with her sister's control over her, no matter how much she resents her father's partiality, no matter how much she envies her sister's status and authority, she will never—

Qin Xiyan quickly withdrew her thoughts, with a smile on her face: "Junior Brother, I am joking, this time I am here to visit Ancheng to report on my duties under the order of Emperor Jianyuan. I am responsible for the defense of Youzhou. You have to abide by the rules of the Daning court.

According to my original intention, I still prefer to continue to cultivate the Yazi knife in Wuxiang Mountain.After all, authority and official positions are just foreign objects, and martial arts is the foundation for us to stand in the world.However, the post of Youzhou Defense Envoy is my family's post, and I can't lose it in my hands, so I have to come. "

Qin Xi looked distressed, and kept her words tight.

Seeing that Chu Xisheng's face was calm and unwavering, she seemed noncommittal, and didn't seem to care, so she changed her voice again: "Why did you come to Beijing again, Junior Brother? It is said that two days ago, you just cleared the Pingshuitianhui and occupied all the districts in Feizhou." Jun, junior brother is not sitting in the gang at this time, presiding over the overall situation, what are you doing in Wang'an?"

The corners of Chu Xisheng's lips raised slightly, and he pointed to his feet: "I'm here to rescue one of my subordinates, and I'm here to see this Western Mountain."

"Xishan?" Qin Xi looked suspicious: "Xishan is a famous scenic spot in Wang'an. Three of the eight scenic spots of Wang'an are located in Xishan. Thousands of rocks compete with each other, and they are amazingly crafted. It is really worth seeing."

But she was puzzled in her heart, what's so interesting about this broken mountain.

The person in front of him doesn't seem like someone who likes poetry and picturesque, and seeks out the hidden world.

"No, I'm not interested in scenery."

Chu Xisheng shook her head: "Junior Sister Qin, you don't know that we also have a Western Mountain in Xiushui County."

Qin Xiyan still didn't know what was going on until Chu Xisheng said the next sentence: "Recently, an expert in magic told me that long before Emperor Jianyuan came to the throne, there was a prophecy in the capital that Qin and Chu were good, and the sun rose to the west. I don’t know if you have heard of it, Junior Sister?”

Qin Xiyan's heart thumped, and there were waves of monstrous waves.

Qin Chu is so good, the sun rises to the west—how could she not have heard of this prophecy?

Emperor Jianyuan buried her sister with Chu Zheng in Xishan, isn't it because of this prophecy?

According to the arrangement of Emperor Jianyuan, this "Rise of the Sun" will only be applied to him, the Emperor of Daning.

Now someone told her that there is also a West Mountain in Xiushui County?
And who is this master of magic?Is it that Star Master Luo Hanzong?

"The man said that the reason why I was able to rise so quickly was because of the luck of the West Mountain. What I lack now is Qin Chuzhi's good Qin."

Chu Xisheng continued, with a wry smile on his face: "I didn't believe it at first. This statement is simply absurd. However, since the beginning of the year, the Iron Banner Gang has swept across the two states in just a few months, and even attracted Many masters in the martial arts have joined in.

Junior sister, can you imagine that with the size of the Iron Banner Gang, there are more than a dozen masters on the list?Today, there are nearly 60 fourth-rank martial arts cultivators, and behind many of them are figures of powerful forces. "

Qin Xiyan almost blurted out.

Where did these people come to take refuge in you?They clearly want your life!

But the moment the words came to her lips, Qin Xiyan was dumbfounded.

She wondered if those people really harbored ill intentions towards Chu Xisheng as she imagined?
According to the information, those few law protectors of the Iron Banner Gang worked hard and diligently for the Iron Banner Gang.

While Qin Xiyan was stunned, she suddenly understood that the talk of marriage that suddenly popped up in the Tieshan Qin clan was probably related to this.

Secondly, most of this matter has been known by Emperor Jianyuan.

The recent suppression of her by the imperial court is mostly due to this.

Chu Xisheng continued with his hands behind his back, "Even the big sects of the Supreme Xuanzong and Dutianshen Palace have different attitudes towards me. They are quite friendly and even put in a lot of effort to help me get it. Against the gods, this makes me very flattered. What exactly do they want?"

Qin Xiyan looked terrified, and took a step back.

Those forces that support the Iron Banner Gang, do they have the idea of ​​helping the dragon?
And the Nishen banner, was it won by those Shenzong factions who helped Chu Xisheng?
Judging by the circumstances of her acquisition, this is very likely.

Are they optimistic about Chu Xisheng, intending to show their favor?

"Headache!"

Chu Xi sighed, and looked at Wang'an City in front of him blankly: "Even so, I still feel absurd. Chu is interested in martial arts, and has no interest in the power of the mortal world. Until I came out of Ji Yang's tomb, I I think there might be a destiny in this world—”

At this moment, Chu Xisheng's body shook loudly, and twelve golden dragon auras circled around his body.

These golden auras are like the real ancestor Yinglong, not only in both spirit and form, but also extraordinarily fierce and domineering, majestic and majestic.

They even roared a burst of dragons, spreading to several miles around.

Qin Xiyan took a step back again, looking at the twelve golden dragon auras outside Chu Xisheng's body with a look of extreme surprise.

"This is? The Tianshou of the Nine Dragon God of Emperor Daning?"

But how could this be?Where did Chu Xisheng get the dragon energy, and how did he cultivate the Nine Dragon God Tianshou?

And like Emperor Jianyuan, he has twelve dragon spirits.

"This is the 'Twelve Capitals of Tianxuan Huanglongyu' of the former Xuanhuang Shidi. The essence is the same, but the foundation is different."

Chu Xi made a correction, and then turned around: "The reason why I showed you my secret method of the emperor's way is to remind you to be careful in the capital. Recently, someone wants to make a marriage between you and me, and Emperor Jianyuan is The master of guessing.

Especially in recent years, this dog emperor has become more and more suspicious and cunning in his actions. He recruited you to Beijing, or he may have ulterior motives, so there is no harm in being on guard. "

Qin Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of the court hawks and dogs following behind her.

Her complexion changed drastically again, she was as pale as paper.

At this moment, Qin Xiyan almost wanted to curse.

She suspected that the boy in front of her did it on purpose, to let those people see this scene on purpose!
But Qin Xiyan wondered why Chu Xisheng needed it?This will only make the court more defensive and suspicious of him.

In order to plot against Qin Xiyan, did Chu Xisheng have to pay such a high price?

At the same time, some people saw this scene more than ten miles away.

They were either dressed in brocade clothes, or dressed as the palace eunuchs, but at this moment, without exception, all of them had straight eyes and no color on their faces.

"how can that be?"

"——That is, the Twelve Dragon God Tenshou?"

"No, it's not the same, it's the shape of a dragon!"

"The question is where did this kid get the dragon energy? He has cultivated such a powerful secret method of the imperial way?"

"Shouldn't this be the martial arts of the Tian family? Only when the emperor can practice it?"

These people's voices were panicked, and then they all sent out the letters in their hands one after another, and used their fastest way to contact their superiors.

At this time, in a hidden mountain forest, Gong Wugou and Shui Canglang were also watching this scene from afar.

"This lord is really good at tricks, he just played Qin Xiyan between applause."

Gong Wugou narrowed his eyes: "But if we do this, we can put her to death? No matter how stupid and suspicious Emperor Jianyuan is, he will not kill Qin Xiyan directly."

"The monarch and ministers believe that Qin Xiyan is not far from death."

Shui Canglang smiled slightly, with admiration in his eyes; "If I'm not wrong, your lord must have other arrangements. His real killer should be General Qin Sheng of Anbei. Apart from us, Qin Xi is the most hopeful person in this world." The person who died with Yan must be Qin Sheng."

Gong Wugou was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he burst out laughing: "Indeed, if Qin Sheng wants to control the Tieshan Qin Clan, he will definitely not tolerate Qin Xiyan. Is this how he treats others in his own way? Let Qin Xiyan betray his relatives? Very relieved, but the price is a bit higher."

"What can it cost?"

Shui Canglang said in a leisurely voice: "Our lord has long been a thorn in the emperor's side, a thorn in his flesh, and he must get rid of it. However, before solving the extreme east ice city, he still has no strength to attack the lord and Wuxiang Shenzong."

He was even guessing that the lord might have the intention of secretly helping the Far East Ice City.

※※※※

Qin Xiyan didn't know how she left, and the conversation with Chu Xisheng afterwards didn't pass through her head.

Ever since seeing the Twelve Dragon God Tianshou, her head was muddled and chaotic.

Until Qin Xiyan returned to the post house where she stayed in the city.

A third-rank servant with luxurious clothes and a fair face is waiting for her with a large group of attendants.

"Princess Iron Mountain, His Majesty announces that you will enter the palace immediately!"

Qin Xiyan was taken aback when she heard the words.

Didn't it mean that the Son of Heaven is busy with everything, and it will take seven days before he can find time to see her?

Why did he suddenly call her into the palace?

Qin Xiyan's heart skipped a beat, and a chill involuntarily grew in her body.

After thinking for a while, she followed the servant to the imperial city with a submissive expression.

Until she came to Chengtian gate.

"Princess, please take off the weapons, all the magical weapons need to be unloaded." The third-rank servant said with a smile: "And you, generals, also need to wait here."

Qin Xiyan was taken aback when she heard the words: "Why?"

Chengtian Gate was also the outermost gate of the imperial city, and the general court officials and generals disarmed and unloaded their troops outside the Meridian Gate after the Triple Gate.

And someone like her who has the "Prince of Yitong" ritual system even has the right to carry weapons into the palace.

The servant of the third rank clasped his hands and explained: "The princess should know that the imperial city was in chaos not long ago, and a group of thieves including Lu Chen robbed the prison and injured the emperor, so now the palace is under martial law and the control is extra strict."

Qin Xiyan refused to believe it.

Disarming troops at Chengtianmen, how effective would this be?Where can we guard against a real traitor?

Qin Xiyan looked around again, and saw rows of forbidden soldiers standing on the palace wall, almost all the big crossbows had their crossbow jackets lifted, and their arrows were strung up.

She also vaguely sensed that there were more than a dozen powerful qi hidden on the city wall, all of which were above the third rank.

Qin Xiyan then looked back, only to see the faint reflection of cold light in the house in the distance.

Not only could she perceive that there were many soldiers hidden in these houses, but she could also hear the sound of their armor hitting and breathing.

Qin Xiyan couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly, feeling despair and sadness in her heart.

What is the emperor's intention?

Is it to trick her into the palace and punish her?Like her older sister?

Just because of Chu Xisheng's Twelve Dragon God Tianshou and Qin Chuzhi's prophecy, did he have the intention to kill her?
The servants of the third grade seemed to be unaware of it, but he still smiled and said: "Princess, Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time, so don't make him wait too long."

Qin Xiyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes, her aura was as sharp as a knife.

She stared at the servant in front of her: "Eunuch, Your Majesty led me into the palace, but did you intend to take Qin Xiyan's life?"

The servant of the third rank was stunned for a while when he heard the words.

He looked at Qin Xiyan in astonishment, and then noticed that Qin Xiyan's hand holding the knife had bruised veins.

The third-rank servant was terrified, and flew back towards the city gate without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiyan's heart couldn't help but twist in pain.

"let's go!"

Without hesitation, Qin Xiyan turned around and rode her horse, galloping towards the east.

She must get out of town as soon as possible.

As long as she leaves Wang'an, whether she completely seeks refuge in Wuxiang Shenzong or seeks help from Grand Master Dugushou, it will bring her a new life.
