Embers of Sword

Chapter 192 Give you a ride

"Xie Zhen, I know you are very powerful. Prince Jiang Ning is no match for you, and the senior brother of Wu Zong is probably no match for you either. But if the whole world stands against you, can you really kill them?"

Yuan Jimo's smile appeared for a short while before gradually freezing.

He had been observing the reaction of the young man in black.

he knows.

The young man wore a mask that could conceal his true appearance, but his eyes could not lie, and his expression did not change much from beginning to end.

now.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the head of the Imperial City Division on horseback calmly and indifferently.

No words were spoken.

No need to speak.

This is what is conveyed in these eyes.

Why not?
If the whole world is against me...how come I can't kill them?

He had done this kind of thing only once, ten years ago, and he had killed many more people than this street.

What he faced at that time.

It is truly a whole world.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yu, who had lost his mind, threw a second punch, and a second figure appeared out of nowhere on the long street. Wu Yue, the eldest brother of Wuzong, who was originally standing in the crowd, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He instantly rushed in front of Lin Yu's junior brother, stretched out his hand to hold the angry fist, and forcibly controlled the junior brother of the eighth level of the golden body.

It was at this time.

An extremely subtle sword intent broke through the air and shot out.

No one could see clearly how this sword intent was struck out, they only saw that Xie Zhen's eyebrows seemed to flash for a moment.

next moment.

An empty building opposite Yong'an Street was blown to pieces, with bricks and tiles billowing in the air. The sword energy brushed past Lin Yu's cheek...

Lin Yu was completely stunned.

A chill ran across his cheek. His golden body, which he was most proud of, was as thin as brittle paper. Just a touch of the sword energy caused blood to flow down one side of his cheek. This young warrior in his early twenties looked at this scene in disbelief.

If it weren’t for the eldest brother taking action and taking him away from his original position.

Just that moment.

What will I look like when the sword energy bursts out?
Will he die immediately?

"Don't do it."

Wu Yue looked gloomy, lowered his voice, pressed his junior brother's shoulder, and said: "This guy... really knows how to kill people."

Wu Zong Dojo.

The master once told him not to participate in the evening boxing in the imperial city.

Very simple.

There should have been no conflict between Wu Zong and Jian Gong... This dispute was not that complicated. It was only now that he realized that the future that his master had seen was much farther than his own.

Judging from the sword that Xie Zhen just used.

The imperial city asked for a fist, and it was obvious that the sea was released!
If he wanted to, he could have destroyed the meridians of Wuzong's favorite disciple earlier instead of just letting him fall into a coma.

Lin Yu also calmed down at this moment.

He was shaking all over.

It wasn't just because the Lin Mansion was sealed, but more because... it was the fear that Xie Zhen's sword energy brought to him.

Back then, there was only one person who fought with Xie Xuanyi personally.

Only then will you understand what this fear means.

……

……

The entire Yong'an Street was plunged into absolute silence at this moment.

Xie Zhen's sword caused the Imperial City Division's black cavalry to become agitated. The pressure and murderous intent released by the sword energy caused the tall black horses to roar restlessly and thump the ground with their hooves.

Yuan Jimo looked at Xie Zhen with an unpleasant expression.

This kid is calmer and crazier than I thought.

What is this going to do?
Doesn't he care about the noble families who came south from the northern border, or about Wu Zong at all?
A huge crowd of people surrounded Xie Xuanyi.

They looked at Xie Xuanyi.

Xie Xuanyi also looked at them.

Looking at each other, the gazes from Yong'an Street were filled with endless anger at first, and then turned into fear.

Xie Xuanyi didn't say anything, nor did he need to say anything.

Everyone can understand the meaning of this eye contact.

Is anyone else coming?

If you want, we can go together!
Everyone saw the result of Lin Yu’s punch just now. If it weren’t for Senior Brother Wuzong stepping in, this sword would have probably ended Lin Yu’s life.

There are many people on this long street.

But judging from the power of the sword just now, how many swords can they withstand together?
"This disciple of Xie Xuanyi is really a lunatic."

Someone in the crowd cursed in a low voice.

"…Who would fight a madman?"

People began to leave Yong'an Street, and more and more people did not dare to meet his gaze. The smoke and dust from the collapsed building made this long, dilapidated street seem particularly depressing. Eventually, the Lin Mansion returned to its devastated state, and Lin Yu was taken away from the scene by Wuzong's disciples.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Everything finally returned to silence.

Yuan Jimo had thought about what would happen tonight, but he never expected... that the story would end in such an absurd way.

Xie Zhen was standing under everyone's attention.

But no one dared to step forward.

"What a bunch of idiots..."

Yuan Jimo looked at the receding figures with disappointment, feeling regretful in his heart. If Senior Brother Wuzong had not shown up, and Xie Zhen had killed Lin Yu, then this good show tonight would have been completely lively.

He glanced at the boy next to him.

Xie Zhen remained calm... Was this guy really planning to kill Lin Yu?
"Young Lord Xie, you are truly majestic."

Yuan Jimo smiled wryly and said, "It's a pity that the sword just now didn't hit." Xie Xuanyi just looked at the head of the Imperial City Division expressionlessly. He said slowly, "When we get to Beishu, there will be another chance... right?"

These words made Yuan Jimo's heart skip a beat.

He actually never understood.

Xie is such a smart guy.

Xie Zhen knew that he had set up a plan in Beishou.

He must also know that he is not the only one waiting for him to join the game.

The young man knew very well how many people in the imperial city were watching him, and how many forces wanted to kill him... As Xie Xuanyi's disciple, he was able to live to this day under an assumed name as a spy for the library. There was no reason for him not to know the dangers that this identity brought, but he still dared to do so, and still wanted to do so.

why?
……

……

The long street welcomes the sunrise, and a ray of dawn advances on Yong'an Street like a tide.

The black riders gradually dispersed.

The remaining members of the Lin family have all been arrested.

Yuan Jimo looked at the young man beside him with a complicated expression. Logically speaking, he should have "won" tonight, but he did not feel the joy of victory in his heart.

Because he didn't see what he wanted to see.

He knew that Xie Zhen would not live in the Jianqi Marquis Mansion awarded by the Holy Queen... But after what happened tonight, Xie Zhen had a feud with many of the Northern County families.

The Lin family case will make countless people "fear" Xie Zhen and stand against him.

however.

Xie Zhen was not angry or resentful, and it could even be said that he didn't care at all.

"Master Yuan, can you give me a ride?"

Xie Zhen watched the black cavalrymen escort the last servant of the Lin Mansion away, and said lightly: "Of course... we are not going to Beiping Street."

This sentence.

This made Yuan Jimo unable to see through this young man.

He has a bad reputation in the imperial city.

The Imperial City Bureau has a lot of things to do, half of which cannot be made public... For example, the interrogation of the Lin family that will be conducted next. The interrogation of such a major case will definitely be cold and cruel.

Because of the Lin Mansion case tonight, many people bear a grudge against Xie Zhen.

And these people will naturally hate Yuan Jimo.

In fact, many such cases have occurred in the imperial city.

Yuan Jimo has far more "enemies" than Xie Zhen.

"You want to come with me?"

Yuan Jimo laughed and said, "Of course I welcome you."

Xie Xuanyi just walked in front with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Jimo originally wanted to sit on the horse, but then he thought that the scene was a bit strange, so he dismounted, held the reins, and walked forward with Xie Zhen.

"The incident at the Lin Mansion tonight has spread throughout the Imperial City..."

Yuan Jimo noticed that in the corners and cracks of the streets, there were countless eyes looking at him and Xie Zhen.

He said expressionlessly, "Young Lord Xie, it's best not to go out during this period of time, so as not to be attacked by bad guys."

"It's okay. If there are bad guys, just kill them."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "I guess with Lord Yuan's status, this kind of assassination case will be handled very easily...right?"

Yuan Jimo narrowed his eyes.

Now, the entire imperial city believes that the two are in cahoots with each other.

If Xie Zhen used his sword to kill someone, I would have to clean up his mess.

"Speaking of which, I am also very curious about the old case from ten years ago."

Xie Xuanyi said, "After all, my teacher... you know it well. I am curious about who caused such a disaster and plunged the imperial city into such chaos. If it is convenient, I would like to go to the dungeon and listen to Lord Yuan's trial."

Colluding with the demon country?
It seems that this crime is not something that the Lin family can bear.

It was obvious that the Lin family was just a victim pushed out to make the Beijun family in the imperial city collectively stand against them.

"Listen in?"

Yuan Jimo looked at Xie Zhen and found it more and more ridiculous.

Not only does this young man not avoid me, he also wants to get closer to me?

"The Imperial City Division is investigating a case, and all outsiders must be dismissed."

Yuan Jimo said expressionlessly: "Not to mention you, even if you are the deputy chief of the Imperial City Department, you are not allowed to intervene in this case without the imperial decree."

"That's a shame. I think there will only be one verdict in the end... If we handle the case this way, I'm afraid it will cause countless complaints."

Xie Xuanyi showed no regrets on his face, and said, "It seems that Lord Yuan has offended the Northern County family more than I have."

Yuan Jimo just continued to laugh, not caring at all.

"It seems that you don't care... After all, these Northern County families are not the real dignitaries of the Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly, "After all, the one standing behind you is the Holy Queen, the supreme royal family of Da Chu."

"It's not easy to work for the Holy Queen these years, right?"

He asked seriously, "What would it be like if one day, Lord Yuan lost the emperor's favor?"

"You don't need to worry about these."

Yuan Jimo said coldly: "You are still worried about yourself... Can you live to see that day?"

Xie Xuanyi nodded and stopped.

"We're here... Sir Yuan, there's no need to see me off."

Not far ahead is the Chen Mansion.

Xie Xuanyi knew that the two of them had attracted countless eyes along the way.

He smiled and said, "Next time, I'll give you a ride."
