Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chu Xiang was exhausted.

He was a great master, with abundant energy and physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could always maintain his peak state.

But at this moment, he looked haggard.

Fakong clasped his hands together: "Your Highness."

Chu Xiang was sitting at the stone table in a daze. When he heard Fakong's voice, he turned his head blankly and then came to his senses.

"Master..." He smiled bitterly.

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Chu Xiang said: "Master, do you know which big shot we are escorting back?"

Fakong looked at him.

He could not see the identity of the woman clearly. She was protected by a magical treasure, and neither the clairvoyance nor the mind's eye could see through her.

But looking at Chu Xiang's expression, he must not be an ordinary person, and smiled: "Could it be the princess? I should have recognized her, but I didn't recognize her when I met her?"

She was covered so tightly, and there was a magical treasure covering her, so it was not surprising that Chu Xiang could not recognize her.

Looking at Chu Xiang's expression, he must be someone he never expected.

There are not many people in the world who are unexpected to him. It is very likely that it is the princess or someone close to her?

Chu Xiang shook his head: "Not the princess."

Fakong raised his eyebrows: "Is that the one the prince has seen before?"

"No." Chu Xiang said.

Fakong said slowly: "Is it not someone from Dayun?"

"No." Chu Xiang shook his head.

Fakong seemed to be thinking.

Chu Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed: "Master, you can't guess it, no matter how hard you try, you can't guess it."

Fakong's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Could it be the head of Tianhai Sword Sect?"

"Alas!" Chu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Not the head now, it should be the former head."

"Leng Feiqiong?" Fakong frowned: "The person you are escorting is actually Leng Feiqiong, the head of Tianhai Sword Sect?"

"It's her!" Chu Xiang gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.

Fakong looked at him in surprise.

Chu Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you didn't expect it, did you?"

Fakong stood up and paced with his hands behind his back. His mind was thinking like lightning, linking all the causes and consequences together.

Chu Xiang's eyes followed him closely.

Fakong's face changed, and finally he sat back at the stone table.

Xu Qingluo came lightly and served tea.

Fakong glanced at him and frowned.

Xu Qingluo said, "Master, I'm not absent, I've changed with someone else, and I'm on duty at night now."

Fakong said, "Why did you think of taking duty at night?"

"Night is the most tiring and the most likely to cause problems." Xu Qingluo said, "Last night, an assassin almost succeeded, and the guard on duty was seriously injured. A new one was replaced. I think I'm more familiar with it. I'll take duty at night."

Fakong waved his hand without comment.

He knew that Xu Qingluo was on duty at night, half because of the reason just now, and the other half because she was tired of the daytime shift and wanted to change and find something new and exciting.

Xu Qingluo gently retreated behind him, holding the tray without saying a word, pretending that she was not here.

Fakong looked at Chu Xiang: "It seems that the Tianhai Sword Sect and the court can't fight. Has the former leader... Leng Feiqiong passed the throne to someone else?"

"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded: "It was passed to her eldest brother, also a senior brother Leng Feimang, who is also a ruthless person."

"Is she asking for forgiveness?" Fakong frowned.

Chu Xiang sighed: "I don't know about that. Anyway, I was responsible for escorting her to a house in Shenjing."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Leng Feiqiong has already bought a house in Shenjing, a very large house, the Leng Mansion. Hey, this Leng Mansion is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The way she returns to the mansion is really extraordinary!"

He couldn't help but think of Leng Feiqiong's return to the mansion.

The gate of the Leng Mansion was wide open, and nearly a hundred masters came out to greet them. Their footsteps were silent, and they quickly and quietly lined up and saluted at the same time.

One hundred and twenty masters saluted at the same time, and their momentum was really amazing.

Although these one hundred and twenty masters were not grandmasters, each of them was as imposing as a grandmaster.

Obviously, they had amazing swordsmanship, and they were not afraid even when facing a grandmaster, and they were martial arts geniuses.

Fakong nodded: "It seems that Leng Feiqiong had made arrangements long ago, and everything was calculated, but I didn't expect that he would return to Shenjing. Is this a hidden dragon entering the abyss, or is he willing to be a prisoner?"

"I don't think he looks like a prisoner." Chu Xiang snorted: "If he was really a prisoner, why would my father ask us to escort him?"

Fakong sipped his tea.

Xu Qingluo said softly: "Master, Leng Feiqiong passed the position of the head to his brother. Was it an act of apology? Or was it arranged in advance?"

Chu Xiang sneered: "Apology? Tianhai Sword Sect committed such a serious crime. Can he be exempted from the crime by resigning as the head?"

"But the emperor didn't blame it?" Xu Qingluo said: "Master, why do I feel that the emperor and Tianhai Sword Sect are acting? They have deceived all of us, right? They even cheated Dayun?"

"Impossible!" Chu Xiang rejected it flatly.

Fakong looked at Xu Qingluo with approval.

Xu Qingluo said: "Your Highness, do you think the emperor raised the board high and gently fell on Tianhai Sword Sect, or even didn't hit it at all?"

Chu Xiang frowned and said nothing.

Xu Qingluo said: "And the Tianhai Sword Sect never really fought with the imperial court, nor did it fight with the other two major sects. It only dealt with Diaoyue Sect and the Six Paths of the Demon Sect."

"But they let in the masters of Dayun!" Chu Xiang said coldly: "This is inviting a wolf into the house!"

These Dayun masters got into Daqian and harmed countless Daqian people and killed countless innocent people.

These Dayun masters don't treat the people of Daqian as human beings at all. They rob and kill at will. It's hard to say how much evil they have done.

Otherwise, the Southern Supervisory Department would not have been fully dispatched, almost emptying Shenjing.

Xu Qingluo said: "But these Dayun masters have almost been eliminated. In addition to the Dayun masters previously eliminated by the Holy Church of Light, the strength of Dayun martial arts is far from what it used to be, right?"

Chu Xiang frowned and thought.

Xu Qingluo's words are indeed correct.

Not to mention the great victory of the Holy Church of Light, Shenjing is said to have eliminated many Dayun masters. I'm afraid that the Dayun masters scattered in Daqian were also hunted down by various sects and could not escape death.

But this did harm a lot of people.

Others are defending against the enemy outside, but this time they are luring the enemy into the country. The results are not small, but the losses are also not small.

Xu Qingluo said: "Your Majesty, using ordinary people to exchange the lives of Dayun masters is a good deal in the eyes of the court."

Chu Xiang's face became extremely ugly.

Xu Qingluo's words were cold and ruthless, but Chu Xiang had no way to refute them. The more he listened, the more he felt chilled, and the more he felt that they made sense.

"That's enough." Fakong waved his hand.

"Yes, Master." Xu Qingluo stuck out her tongue and shrank her neck, and stopped talking.

Chu Xiang's face was gloomy, and he stared at the direction of the Forbidden Palace.

Fakong said: "This is just Qingluo's guess. It has nothing to do with the facts. Don't take it too seriously."

"Fakong, do you think Qingluo's inferences are not outrageous?"

"Yes, but it's just a possibility." Fakong said: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way, you should go back and rest, and see the princess early. The princess must be anxious that you haven't returned."

"... Never mind." Chu Xiang smiled bitterly: "What else can I say, all I can do now is to wash and rest, and go back to sleep honestly."

He looked sad and got up and walked out.

Fakong glanced at Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect Chu Xiang to be so emotional and react so strongly. As the governor of the Nine Gates, he should be used to this kind of thing.

As the governor of the Nine Gates, can he still maintain pure integrity and kindness?

Fakong sent Chu Xiang to the gate of the yard and watched him walk through the moon gate with a heavy heart and disappear without a trace.

From what he saw, Chu Xiang walked out absent-mindedly and heavily. When he passed the release pond, he didn't say hello to Fu Qinghe and Lin Feiyang.

Fu Qinghe and Lin Feiyang were playing chess, fighting around the stone table, unaware of the changes outside.

Chu Xiang hit the corner of the release pond with a muffled "bang". Lin Feiyang and Fu Qinghe looked up and found that Chu Xiang's face was not right.

Lin Feiyang stepped forward to look at his face, but Chu Xiang's eyes were blurred and he didn't look at him, as if he didn't feel him.

Lin Feiyang didn't speak and followed him until he went out.

Four guards were waiting outside the door, escorting Chu Xiang inside.

Chu Xiang finally came to his senses.

He saw Lin Feiyang standing at the door, looking at him worriedly, waved his hand, turned around and strode away.

He regained his usual heroic and resolute self, completely different from his previous loss of soul.

Lin Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't the prince's reaction too much?" Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Master, is this inference such a big blow to the prince?"

"Yes." Fakong nodded.

Xu Qingluo said, "Master, do you think my inference is absurd?"

Fakong shook his head.

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Master, don't you think my inference is too bold? Too fanciful?"

Fakong sighed, "I even think it's not bold enough."

"Not bold enough?" Xu Qingluo said in surprise, "Is there anything bolder? Master, tell me."

Fakong said, "Why did Leng Feiqiong go to Beijing?"

"To be a hostage, right?" Xu Qingluo said, "Just like Prince Ming, to show that the Tianhai Sword Sect has no ulterior motives towards the court?"

"Can the emperor be assured that she is the only hostage?" Fakong said.

Xu Qingluo frowned, "Then what should I do to make the emperor feel at ease?"

Fakong looked at her without saying anything.

"If I think about it..." Xu Qingluo knew what Fakong meant, that he wanted her to think it out herself.

Fakong took a sip of the teacup.

After Xu Qingluo pondered for a moment, she whispered, "Master, how old is Leng Feiqiong?"

"She should be around 30 years old," Fakong said.

He actually didn't know Leng Feiqiong's exact age, and he had never seen Leng Feiqiong, but he inferred it through some information about her.

Xu Qingluo thought for a while: "Will Leng Feiqiong enter the forbidden palace and become a worshiper? This shows that Tianhai Sword Sect still obeys the court and is loyal to the court?"

Fakong said: "It's still not bold enough."

"More bold?" Xu Qingluo said in surprise: "Master, this is the boldest, right?"

Fakong laughed: "Leng Feiqiong's worship can guarantee the loyalty of Tianhai Sword Sect?"

Xu Qingluo snorted: "What else do you want?"

"Leng Feiqiong is likely to marry into the royal family." Fakong said slowly.

Xu Qingluo's eyes widened immediately: "Impossible...right?"

Fakong smiled.

Xu Qingluo's bright eyes flickered constantly, and her expression changed from time to time.
