Zaisuke

Don't be impulsive, silly girl.Qiao Xuange recited these words in her heart, closed her eyes, and forced herself to calm down.

"The monks who died in the city were not killed by Xi Yin. I was with him on the last pillar, watching him carve it with a carving knife bit by bit, and then lock it. Although he is in a bad state now, the Xuncheng's He didn't take the lives of the monks in the nearby sects." Qiao Xuange said.

Jiang Xiu nodded, snapped his fingers, and two hidden guards appeared in the room. Qiao Xuange raised Liu Yemei in surprise, and said, "Your person's hidden aura is here, and I didn't even know it."

"The two of them are pretty capable, so I'll take care of the nursing home for you and listen to your orders." Jiang Xiu said.

Two dark guards took the lead.

Jiang Xiu didn't leave after that, and took a book from Xi Yin's study shelf to read. Bai Shui didn't follow him, but stayed on the second floor with the eight pillars.

In the evening, the sky was a little dark, Jiang Xiu took a sip of the tea that was poured for him by the cypress water on the table, and someone knocked on the door over there.

Putting down the cup in his hand, the book was turned upside down on the table, Jiang Xiu stepped into the courtyard and pulled the latch.

The door was opened, and the shining blade was placed on his shoulder. One of them shouted: "Who are you? Tell your master to come out."

Probably in the eyes of this person, he was a domestic servant who came to open the door.

Overtly and secretly, this small courtyard was surrounded by Zhou Cheng.

Jiang Xiu rushed to the attic and yelled, "Madam Xi, an enemy has come to the door."

"What enemy? You kid, don't talk nonsense, we are Feng..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Cheng kicked the knee of the soldier who was speaking, and lowered his head tentatively with surprise, "Emperor?"

"fake."

Regardless of the weapon that circled his neck like a whirling blade, Jiang Xiu lazily leaned against the door frame, looking down and raising his eyes at Zhou Cheng from the corner of his eyes.

The surrounding soldiers were overwhelmed by the title, and the only one who could make Huaishan King call out the word Dijun was Dongwu Changyun Dijun.But it seems that Zhou Cheng is not very sure, his eyes are looking suspiciously, the situation in front of him seems to be a bit complicated, they are still putting the knife on the neck of the boss who is suspected to be the boss.

"Zhou Cheng, stop peeking, look up and see who I am."

When Zhou Cheng looked up, what he saw was a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile on the corners of the lips of his young emperor in Dongwu. The smile in his beautiful eyebrows and eyes disappeared like smoke, leaving behind aloofness and indifference.

Jiang Xiu didn't release the coercion, but Zhou Cheng's back to his shoulders seemed to be pressed against a mountain. Just a cold and arrogant look made him fearful, and cold sweat broke out in a flash.

Just as Zhou Cheng opened his mouth, he suddenly became hoarse. Seeing that the tall and slender man put a cape on Jiang Xiu, and stood back, he struggled to utter a few words, "Bai, Bai guard."

At first, he suspected that Jiang Xiu in front of him was a trick of the other party's deception, but when he saw Bai Shui with the cold air sweeping across the audience, his thoughts were completely wiped out.

Hearing this, it was Jiang Xiu who cast a sideways glance at Bai Shui behind him, and said, "The king of Huaishan is afraid that the guards of Bai are better than this lord, Bai Shui and Zhou Cheng? Give me an explanation."

At this moment, an unknown soldier or a monk who came from Xuncheng shouted, "King Huaishan is here to arrest the criminal on the arrest warrant, honorable emperor, what are you doing now!"

Hearing this overflowing justice, Jiang Xiu sneered, and said: "Brother who shouted this, you are from another country. At least I am the emperor of Dongwu, and I can't afford to respect you."

Changing the subject, Jiang Xiudao said, "Still, you are a spy who came from nowhere, and you just spread some news to make trouble."

With a sneer in his eyes, Jiang Xiu slowly turned his eyes to the soldiers in front of the door and the soldiers hiding in the dark surrounding the small courtyard, and said: "Who called just now, come out, I am good at listening to advice, Come and chat with us face to face."

What made everyone a little ashamed was that his emperor's eyes looking around the audience seemed to be looking at the little chicken that was jumping around.

Not long after Jiang Xiu's words fell, two people really came out with righteous and generous expressions on their faces.

"It's not bad that one person who spoke just now came out with two." Jiang Xiu said.

One of the two men was dressed in a soldier's uniform, and the other was dressed as a village head monk. They were both grown men.The two looked at each other, and the monk said, "I was the one who yelled just now, Dijun, I am from Dongwu."

"Yes." Jiang Xiu said, pointing his fingers, "Tell me who's surname, who's who, and who's in the family."

The monk stared, apparently not expecting Jiang Xiu to ask such a question, and subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

But when he saw the sneer on Jiang Xiu's mouth, he quickly rolled his eyes pretending to be thinking, and said, "I'm afraid that I'm not from Dongwu about the emperor? My name is Chang Meng, and I'm from Xuncheng. He has no wife and family, his father is alone, he has no siblings, his mother passed away early, and now he is a disciple of Kun Sect."

Jiang Xiu raised his hand, signaling him to wait a while, then turned to look at the soldier who came out, and said, "He admitted that he was the one who yelled just now, so why did you come out?"

The soldier raised his head, with suppressed resentment in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Xiu: "I am a soldier of Dongwu, but how can I be loyal to an emperor like you? King Huaishan is arresting the serial murderer, all the way here, Dijun, you appeared in front of the door. Then there are two possibilities, one is that you are the murderer, and the other is that you put the people's safety at risk and are covering up the murderer."

"But the murderer is clearly the woman with the orchid face scarf. If it is not the first case, then you are the second case here. Dijun, you are covering the murderer."

This eloquence and logic are nothing to say, even Jiang Xiu thought he was a fatuous emperor.

"Brother, I think it makes sense for you to say that. But to be reasonable, Zhou Cheng, show the evidence and see who is wronged."

The soldiers led by Zhou Cheng, as well as some people from Xun City, all watched this side with bated breath, heard from beginning to end, and looked at them horizontally and vertically. Human feeling, but very cute, I can't tell, I feel that they are emperors, a bit like mother chickens...

Just when Zhou Cheng opened and closed his mouth before he could say anything, Jiang Xiu seemed to be lost in thought, and said: "What is listed in the memorial that King Huaishan gave me...Let me think about it... ..."

Zhou Cheng folded his hands, looked carefully at the young emperor's face, and said: "When a monk's body was found, the soldier saw the woman wearing an orchid face scarf next to the body, so he concluded..."

"Whether you saw her killing people or whipping her corpse, make it clear," Jiang Xiu said.

"Also, is it the soldier who made the decision, or you, Huaishan King?"

"Standing next to the corpse, can't she be the one who found the corpse?"

As soon as these questions came out, Zhou Cheng's face turned blue instantly, his lips trembled unconsciously, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the smiling young emperor.

The scene fell silent, only Huaishan King Zhou Cheng breathed heavily. After a long time, he knelt down with a thud, knocked his head on the ground, and said, "I'm guilty. I made a hasty decision before the matter became clear. I implore the emperor to punish me."

Huaishan King Zhou Cheng only repeated this sentence, and then kowtowed to Jiang Xiu, but the others didn't say anything else.

Jiang Xiu frowned slightly, and gave Bai Shui a look. Bai Shui raised his hand, and a hidden guard appeared to hold Zhou Cheng down.

"You two, what else do you want to say, come one by one." Jiang Xiu said.

The monk and soldier lowered their heads and said nothing.

If the woman wearing the orchid face scarf was not the murderer of this series of murders, then their doubts about Jiang Xiu would have no foothold.

Jiang Xiu ordered the lieutenant to lead the troops back to the city.

After tossing around like this, the sky also darkened. Qiao Xuange cooked vegetables and porridge, and brought them to the table.

After serving the rice and serving it bowl by bowl on a tray, there were three people around the dining table. The hand holding the tray trembled uncontrollably. Singer in the tray, put bowls of rice on the table.

"You..." Qiao Xuange sniffed.

"It's me, temporarily awake." Xi Yin chuckled, reaching out to Qiao Xuange who was still standing.

However, the girl twisted her skirt, turned and walked out of the room.

"Xuange." Xi Yin quickly stood up and chased him out.

Jiang Xiu and Bai Shui were halfway through their meal when Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin came in, and they took the bowls and chopsticks to eat.

Jiang Xiu and Bai Shui, who finished eating before Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin, went out and went back to the room they had temporarily cleaned up for them.

Jiang Xiu sat down at the table, rubbed his fingertips on the pages of the unfinished book, and said, "How did you do it?"

Bai Shui took a sip of the tea from Jiang Xiu's hand, and deliberately turned the cup around, so that his lips were on the spot where Jiang Xiu had drunk it.

"Childish." Jiang Xiu said.

Bai Shui slightly hooked the corners of his lips, put down his cup and said, "You know I'm Chu Ji, so I have things that Bai Shui doesn't have."

While speaking, Bai Shui took Jiang Xiu's hand and let him touch his forehead.When his finger was close to it, he felt a kind of spiritual power flowing. After sticking it on, the three-color pattern appeared.

Bai Shui said: "For the time being, I use the blessing of Emperor Wa's birth and Emperor Xi's spiritual essence to suppress the power of the demon soul in Xi Yin's body."

"Xihuang Lingyuan?"

"En." Bai Shui spread his hands, and a cloud of milky white starlight appeared in Jiang Xiu's palm, "It has the effect of quenching the body and refining the gods, but the pain in the process needs to be endured."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiu said: "Use Emperor Wa's birth protection to continue Xi Yin's vitality, and then use Xihuang Lingyuan to temper and strengthen his primordial spirit, making it stronger than the demon soul internally and externally, and then suppress it."

It seemed that everything was going in the right direction. Jiang Xiu fell into a deep sleep after late at night, a gloomy atmosphere enveloped him, he tried hard to open his eyes, his eyelids were heavy, and his hands lay on his body when he wanted to grab them side of the cypress water, but did not touch anything.

......

After struggling for a while, his eyes were able to open, and he felt the quilt and mattress under his hands. Jiang Xiu also came to his senses, and what caught his eyes was not Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin's courtyard loft in the Huaishan wilderness, but his bedroom.

"Boshui." Jiang Xiu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, calling out the name.

"Your servant is here." Bai Shui stepped into the bedroom, took Jiang Xiu's clothes and stretched out his hands to help Jiang Xiu put on his shoes.

"You brought me back? Am I not in Huaishan?"

Bai Shui didn't stop moving, and said: "The emperor has been in the capital, and he hasn't gone out recently, and it wasn't the minister who brought you back from Huaishan."

Jiang Xiuben was in a hurry to get out of bed, he was taken aback when he heard Bai Shui's words, he held up Bai Shui's head, the latter's pupils were calm, and he said doubtfully, "What is the emperor doing, I'm here."

"Chu Ji." Jiang Xiu said.

Bai Shui didn't respond, and after a while he asked tentatively, "The emperor is calling me, and my name is Bai Shui."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiu let go, suppressed his irritability and wanted to kick the real Baishui out of his palace door, waved his hand and said, "You go out first, I want to be quiet for a while."

Bai Shui said: "I asked someone to arrange breakfast." After finishing speaking, he stepped back.

"Wait." Jiang Xiu stopped Bai Shui who was leaving, and asked, "What's the result of the Huaishan murder case?"

Bai Shui handed over his hand and reported to Jiang Xiu, "King Huaishan killed the murderer on the spot."

"How long ago?"

"Emperor, two years have passed since this incident." Bai Shui said with his head down, his tone didn't fluctuate much, he was just stating an old event.
