Chapter 259 The stakes are high
Chapter 259 The stakes are high
Qian Hu had just returned to Tianshan Sect when he was immediately sent out again, taking another chief elder, Elder Sun, to Longcheng.
It took only half a day to find the King of Zhenxi.
The King of Zhenxi originally did not want to meet anyone from the Tianshan Sect. To him, a mere Qian Hu was not worth meeting with several times in one day.
But his subordinates told him that in addition to Qian Hu, a chief elder had also arrived.
Although ordinary elders and chief elders are both elders of the Tianshan Sect, their status is very different.
Although he was a little impatient, King Zhenxi still met him.
When the elder met the King of Zhenxi, he first exchanged some pleasantries, and then went straight to the point and told him that the chief elder Bai Guofeng had been captured by the prince's men.
Moreover, it was specifically emphasized that the headmaster was very angry about this and even planned to convene a martial arts conference, inviting martial arts sects from all over the world to come and make friends through martial arts, and at the same time, let everyone uphold justice and ask for an explanation from the court!
Prince Zhenyi naturally felt the pressure and said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter and give an explanation to the Tianshan Sect.
The Tianshan Sect also gave the prince a deadline: within half a month, the prince must send the person back safely.
Otherwise, this martial arts conference will definitely be held!
The King of Zhenxi agreed without bargaining and sent the people from Tianshan Sect away.
Inside the study, the Prince of Zhenxi had a sinister look on his face and snorted coldly, "Prepare a horse for me. I'm going to go back to the capital myself to see what this prince wants to do!"
Even the King of Ghosts was sent out, and the disciples of Tianshan Sect saw it.
The key point is that not only did he see it, but he also let the other person's disciple run away and return to the sect safely to file a complaint.
He had no choice but to deal with this matter personally!
night.
Chen Xuan, the culprit behind the scenes, was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard.
"Master Chen, there's news from Longcheng. Someone from the Tianshan Sect went to see the Zhenxi King again. Afterwards, someone left the Zhenxi King's mansion on horseback. We don't know who it is, but we can be sure that this person is of high status. He was riding the Zhenxi King's favorite Ferghana horse. It's even possible that the person who left Longcheng on horseback was the Zhenxi King himself!"
Ling Mo found Chen Xuan and reported the matter specifically.
Recently, under Chen Xuan's arrangement, some spies have been placed in Hucheng, Longcheng, and even in the ancient town at the foot of Tianshan Sect.
As a human being with a modern soul, Chen Xuan clearly knows the importance of information gap.
If you can grasp the actions of others, no matter what you do, you are halfway to success!
"It seems that the matter has become a big deal."
Chen Xuan took a sip of tea and a smile appeared on his face.
Ling Mo didn't know why he could still be so calm and composed. You know, things are getting bigger and bigger now, and there's a possibility that the Empress herself might take action!
Once the empress investigates this matter thoroughly, she will definitely find out that the prince is innocent.
Moreover, Chen Xuan dragged the Chen clan into the water. The Tianshan Sect knew that there was a young martial king named Chen Xuan from the Chen clan in Mancheng, and they also knew about this.
When the investigation is carried out, it will be traced back to Chen Xuan.
How to explain it then?
It's impossible that you're still using the same tricks to deceive people, right?
The people in the court are not so easy to fool.
Ling Mo couldn't understand why Chen Xuan wanted to drag the Chen family into this. Isn't this just pitting his own people?
How could he know that Chen Xuan did it on purpose?
For him, he had no feelings towards the Chen clan. After the death of his parents in his previous life, he lived in humiliation for a full twenty years. It was not until he traveled through time with the system that he was able to live like a human being.
What Chen Xuan wants is to stir up trouble in the entire Daqian Dynasty!
Not only the Chen clan, the Tianshan sect, and the King of Zhenxi, he wants to drag all the three provinces and six ministries in the capital into the water!
"Master Chen, what should we do if someone from the capital comes to investigate us?"
Ling Mo asked, now we must think of a countermeasure first, so as to avoid cramming at the last minute.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to take Xuanxuan and the others back to Jiangnan. When the time comes, you'll be in charge of handling all of Barbarian City's affairs. Whether it's the imperial court or the Prince of Zhenxi's men, as long as they come to you to question you, you'll tell them this..."
Chen Xuan whispered his plan into Ling Mo's ear.
After hearing this, Ling Mo's pupils trembled and his eyes widened: "Master Chen, this..."
Obviously, he was very shocked, because what Chen Xuan told him was too unbelievable!
"Don't worry, just follow my instructions. By the way, the follower next to Zheng Tong is also a martial arts master. I will leave him in Barbarian City. If there is something that you can't solve, you can ask him to help."
Chen Xuan patted Ling Mo's shoulder.
If possible, he wanted to keep Zheng Tong as well. If this guy were to be in charge of the Barbarian City, he would be a stabilizing force.
Unfortunately, Zheng Tong would definitely not agree. Not to mention that he would not obey the order from his son-in-law, even if Li Xiuning gave the order personally, he would not listen.
After all, Zheng Tong’s current responsibility is to protect Li Xiuning’s safety. He will follow Li Xiuning wherever she goes.
This guy is obviously a general of the Tang Dynasty, but now he acts like a bodyguard.
"Also, I've already made arrangements with Black Whirlwind in advance. While I'm away, they'll obey you completely. Your orders are my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey you will be killed when I return. From now on, they'll all obey you."
Chen Xuan continued.
Ling Mo nodded: "Don't worry, Master Chen, I will definitely take good care of Mancheng while you are away!"
He also knew in his heart that Chen Xuan trusted him and directly handed over the management of Mancheng to him.
Moreover, he also left a King Wu to serve him.
This is to train him as a confidant!
"Well, Liu Jinyu and Xiao Liuzi, I will also stay here to assist you and act as your left and right guards. That's it for now, you can go down."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, intending to be alone and quiet.
"Master Chen, you should rest early. I will withdraw first."
After Ling Mo left, Chen Xuan looked up at the sky and saw that it was already late.
I don’t know what the situation is in the capital now.
The next day.
The three carriages stopped at the gate of the barbarian city.
Li Xiuning, An Ruxue, Xu Ruolan, Lu Qiqi, Liu Yiyi, Li Xuanxuan, Yang Ying'er, and Su Qingcheng, eight women, got on the three carriages respectively.
They are now setting off for Jiangnan.
Originally, Chen Xuan promised Lu Qiqi that he would accompany her back to Jiangnan next month.
But now, Chen Xuan increasingly feels that time is running out. He urgently needs the favorability of the women around him to reach 100 points!
