Chapter 16: Atonement
"Entertainment Father." Jian Shu looked at Xu Hexian mysteriously and said softly: "I am very grateful for raising me. You are the leader of Xuanzhengsi. You are naturally guilty of those who want to kill. I am willing to be a sword in my possession father's hand, but until I found out that not all of those people were guilty, I felt very distressed."
"I have too much blood from innocent people on my hands. I dream of them every night. I feel that I have repayed your kindness. Now I should do what I should do, and it is also atonement."
"What is what you should do?" Xu Hexian had a gloomy face, his heart was furious, and he said sternly: "I keep you by my side. Your life belongs to me. What you should do is be obedient and don't think about resisting. Fan Wuwei and Li Ergou are not dead. I haven't had time to settle the score with you. You just said that it was an accident. I trust you very much and did not doubt you. This is how you repay me?"
Jian Shuxuan said: "I actually thought about killing you, but when many people want to kill you, I don't want to kill you anymore. You have already lost this game. If you can admit defeat, maybe Your Majesty can be tolerant of you. Even if you stay in prison all your life, I will provide you with care."
Xu Hexian laughed anxiously, shook his head and said, "Your thoughts are really naive. Not to mention that the emperor cannot let me live, I don't bother to use you to support me. Do you really think I will lose? The emperor's use you to deal with me is indeed a masterpiece, but unfortunately, my methods are far more than that."
Jian Shuxuan frowned and said, "The purpose of my trip is to send all the remaining array arts and arrows to the military headquarters. The adoptive father could not beat me. The people in Xuanzhengsi were like nothing to me. What could the adoptive father do?"
Xu Hexian said: "Maybe those array arts and spiritual arrows are quite large for you and even the emperor, but the array arts and spiritual arrows in my hand are far more than these. In fact, there are not many array arts and spiritual arrows in my hand now. More array arts and spiritual arrows have been transported away by me, and maybe they are already in the hands of Your Highness. Even the array arts and spiritual arrows that I made are no longer in the capital. But except for the array arts and spiritual arrows I left behind, I naturally have to leave a backup plan."
He looked at the direction of the palace and said with a smile: "Your Highness's plan is not something you ordinary people can imagine. What is revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe I may indeed die in the capital, but that doesn't mean I will lose."
He looked at Jian Shuxuan again and said, "I didn't reveal it at the beginning, so there was no need to leave with Your Highness. Because Your Highness still had some things, I needed to stay in the capital to do it, but that was only one of them. If I chose to stay in the capital, there were naturally more important things, and that was also a very important part of Your Highness's plan."
Seeing Jian Shuxuan's confused look, Xu Hexian was too lazy to continue talking. He had the idea of speaking freely at this moment, but he really couldn't be too interested in these things.
"Do you want to atone for your sins?" Xu Hexian chuckled and shook his head. "Maybe you have done a lot of things like Fan Wuwei and Li Ergou, but you can't deny your past. Even if you help the emperor, you can have a good end? You have no way out."
Jian Shuxuan said: "I will fight for Jiang State and protect the people of Jiang State. Even if I die in the northern border, I will have no regrets. That is my own choice, not my adoptive father ordered me to do what I don't want to do. I never thought I could live forever. My life has no meaning to me. Then before death, it is enough to do what I want to do."
Xu Hexian frowned and said, "In this way, are you going to go against your father?"
Jian Shuxuan said: "I just follow my own choice. It is not a very correct choice for my adoptive father to follow Qin Chengyi. He only has his own grand career and can anyone be abandoned by him. Why does his adoptive father think he is special? The so-called approachable attitude of Qin Chengyi is obviously just a disguise. He is just a better disguise than King Yu, so that the people under his command are loyal to him."
Xu Hexian sneered and said, "This is just the remarks of the disloyal. Although I serve Your Highness, I am not the one who can raise those disciples. Since you have made a choice, you will have to bear the consequences."
He snapped his fingers, and hundreds of armored soldiers flocked to Xuanzhengsi. They were all holding bows in their hands. The array arts and arrows were ready. Without saying a word, they all shot at Jian Shuxuan.
Xu Hexian's voice also came, "You have entered the fifth realm and are of high qualifications. You may even be comparable to those of the monks in the Zhishen level. However, with such a large number of array arts and spiritual arrows, even the monks in the Zhishen level will be a little troublesome. Now that things have come, I have to give His Majesty the Emperor a gift, and the people in this capital will be in a desperate situation because of his decision."
Even if Li Mengzhou responds to the same number of array arts, he cannot be unscathed. Jian Shuxuan's cultivation is weaker than Li Mengzhou, and the number of Xuanzhengsi's soldiers in front of him is several times larger. Thousands of array arts are exploded in a small space, which is quite terrifying.
Xu Hexian was not worried about the destruction of the warehouse. Because the warehouse had array technology protection, it would automatically appear when attacked. Even if the array technology was destroyed, it could ensure that the array technology arrows in the warehouse were intact.
What's more, he didn't say anything to Jian Shuxuan. At this time, there were not many array arts and arrows in the warehouse. Even if the warehouse was destroyed, he would not feel distressed.
Mu Nan has been killed by Li Mengzhou and is quickly approaching Xuan Zhengsi.
But all the remaining soldiers in Xuan Zhengshi were dispatched. They all carried quiver pots and bows in their hands to start Xu Hexian's plan.
......
In Tongming Lane, Jiang Tingyu tidied up her clothes and walked out of the yard calmly.
In Chaosi Lane, Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng put down their money and walked out of the noodle shop.
Dozens of sword cultivators went down the mountain in Ligong Sword Courtyard.
Zhuo Bingchun and Jiang Zi's paintings, and He Zhengrong are also among them.
The disciples of Zhaixing Mansion were led by Zhong Xiyan and Yang Zhao, and were scattered everywhere in Langya City. There were even five-level powerful men in Zhaixing Mansion walking alone on the snow.
Cao Rushan stood on the red bridge at the top of the inner city wall. In his vision, countless crystal lights flashed in the city. They were a series of array techniques being activated. He didn't have much time to arrange array techniques in all parts of the capital, but most of the formation techniques in the city were activated at this moment, and others guarded the rest.
In the palace hall, the queen looked at His Majesty with a smile.
His Majesty the Emperor said: "In order to consider the safety of the people, the array arts and spiritual arrows in Xu Hexian's hand really made me throw myself into a halt. Jian Shuxuan's goal is not to steal away the array arts and spiritual arrows of Xuan Zhengsi. He could not do so alone. He only needed to find out how many array arts and spiritual arrows there were in Xuan Zhengsi, and I could make a decision based on this."
"I think when Jian Shuxuan was exposed, Xu Hexian had already thought about everything. He was actually just throwing the pot. The array arts and spiritual arrows in Xuanzhengsi were not as many as I imagined. I think Xu Hexian sent out most array arts and spiritual arrows during the reorganization of Tianshu Academy."
"The Langya Rebellion is over, and there are too many troubles to be dealt with. When Xu Hexian is able to wait for an opportunity to act, it is a big trouble in itself. Xu Hexian told Jian Shuxuan these things, undoubtedly in disguise telling me, but no matter what Qin Chengyi does with those array arts and arrows, it is not the most important thing at the moment."
His Majesty the Emperor held the queen's hand and said, "Xu Hexian used a lot of array art spirit arrows to deal with Li Mengzhou. He took out twice the number of array art spirit arrows against Jian Shuxuan. Although there are still many remaining array art spirit arrows, all the cultivators in the entire capital were dispatched. They only needed to guard the streets without the protection of Master Cao's array art, and they would almost win this battle."
If you can't figure out how many array arts and spiritual arrows Xu Hexian has, even if all the monks in the capital come out, they may die in vain. After all, with enough array arts and spiritual arrows, only the great monks in the fifth realm can resist it, but there are not many such existences in the capital.
The Empress frowned and said, "What is the important part of Qin Chengyi's plan that Xu Hexian said? Since Xu Hexian has noticed the problem, he has shaken out all his trump cards without any worries. That is obviously not a wise move. Even if the total number of array arts and spiritual arrows is not large, as long as Xu Hexian is firm in his attitude, it will be difficult for His Majesty to play his cards."
His Majesty the Emperor said: "This is indeed the only thing I am worried about at the moment, but when the situation develops to this stage, I have no choice. The first task of the monks in the capital is to protect the safety of the people. Even if they can only watch Xu Hexian escape in the end, as long as the people are safe, it is a good thing. And as long as Xu Hexian walks out of the capital, he will only have a dead end. I want to see what tricks he can do."
......
The monks who were imprisoned in Xuan Zhengsi were all guilty monks, and they all noticed unusual movements in Xuan Zhengsi.
Han Youqing, a disciple of the Beiyan Dao Palace, was also in prison for Xuan Zhengsi.
Because there is a formation technique in prison, they cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor can they activate their own Qihai Lingyuan. No one knows what happened in Xuanzhengsi.
But even so, they had some riots.
In addition to secretly helping Qin Chengyi to eradicate some disobedient people, Xu Hexian was also imprisoned in prison, and there were also truly vicious prisoners. At this time, there were clear footsteps in the dim corridor and the sound of chains being opened, from far to near until Han Youqing saw the figure appearing in front of him.
The chains of the prison door were opened.
"Han Youqing, now that the war between Jiang and Yan is about to begin. As a mountain and sea monk in Yan State, you want to stay in this prison. It's a torment. This time you have a chance to go out."
Han Youqing frowned.
Standing in front of him was a soldier from the Emperor Zhengshi.
He noticed that the soldier released all the prisoners in the prison.
He slowly stood up, took off the hay stuck on his body, and said lightly: "You should think about whether you can still walk out."
The Xuanzheng Siyao frowned. He quickly understood what Han Youqing meant. All the prisoners who were released surrounded him, one by one, one by one, seemed to have been hungry for a long time, his eyes were red.
The screams immediately rang in the corridor.
Han Youqing ignored it and walked out of prison.
Having seen the sun for half a year, the snow was falling outside and the ground was covered with silver, which made Han Youqing open his arms and breathe the fresh air a little greedily, enjoying the coolness of the flying snow slapped on his face.
Rumble!
There was a loud noise somewhere in Xuanzhengsi, and the earth was trembling.
The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth exploded, and the rolling smoke rose.
Han Youqing narrowed his eyes. He noticed that the rolling smoke was rising, hundreds of figures gathered up, and the sound of arrows roaring through the air was very sharp, which made Han Youqing's eardrums tingle.
He vaguely saw a figure passing by, it was Xu Hexian!
Chapter completed!
