Capítulo 1203: Chapter 441: Sun Rises Over West Mountain
“Are we talking about the two major cases that occurred in the Capital City? This matter has already spread across the kingdom, and I received a report from the Tingtian Institute of my sect this afternoon.”
Chu Xisheng clicked his tongue in disbelief: “I didn’t expect the Emperor to do such a thing. The Dominating Martial King expanded Daning’s territory by thirty thousand miles, repeatedly defeating the unrivaled Generals of the Giant Spirit—”
“Lord Wanhu!” Cao Xuan’s expression drastically changed, raising his voice: “This was the act of a demon path infiltrating the Ministry of Industry, unrelated to His Majesty. How could you, a Heavenly Jinyi Guards Wanhu, believe unverified rumors?”
“Is that so?”
Chu Xisheng’s lips curled into a cold smile as he put down the scissors: “Alright, tell your superior that my contact with Xi Bitian and others was to investigate the upheaval in the Western Capital Chu Family back then, to find out whether Chu Rulai violated the royal law.
It’s a pity these people are so impatient, they actually did such a thing. What a pity! What a pity! I’ve already submitted their case files, material evidences, and witness testimonials to the Grandmaster. At most, in a year or half, the verdict can be overturned!”
Cao Xuan’s eyes flickered, thinking that what Chu Xisheng said matched his speculations.
The Infinite Blade Lord before him was indeed vengeful.
He couldn’t do anything with his sect sister Chu Ming, so he directly targeted the Western Capital Chu Family.
“One more thing!” Cao Xuan cautiously raised his head, observing Chu Xisheng’s expression: “Lord Wanhu, did you go to the Extre East Ice City so ten days ago? And stayed in Wen Zhiyi’s palace for nearly ten days? What did you talk about?
And although the Iron Banner Gang did not pledge allegiance to the Extre East Ice City, it has been transporting grain and military supplies to the Ice City Army by ship, seemingly assisting them secretly. What is your true intention, Lord Wanhu?”
“Is this an interrogation?” Chu Xisheng chuckled upon hearing this: “Do you want to simply resign from this position of Police Pool of Blood Commander?”
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Cao Xuan’s heart pounded: “Lord Wanhu, I just want to understand the situation; this is also the aning of the Emperor and the State Preceptor.”
Chu Xisheng gave Cao Xuan a once-over, then leisurely said: “When I was at the Returning Ruins condensing the Luo Hou bloodline, I t Lord Wen, and we hit it off at first sight, becoming inseparable friends.
So, more than ten days ago, I went to visit the Ice City. As for what we discussed, I’m afraid I can’t disclose it. As for those grain transport ships, they were forcibly requisitioned by the Extre East Ice City against my will. The Ice City is powerful, and the Iron Banner Gang can’t contend with it. If the court believes I’m colluding with rebels, they can certainly remove from my position as Wanhu, and list as wanted.”
Upon hearing ‘inseparable friends,’ Cao Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his lips, his green hair, beard, and brows trembling,
thinking how a good-looking face truly gets you everywhere.
Unexpectedly, Wen Zhiyi of One Sword Overturning City is such a woman, who would fall for a pretty face like Chu Xisheng.
He actually wanted to ask if Chu Xisheng had any relations with Wen Zhiyi.
For so reason, the Emperor is particularly concerned about this.
But Cao Xuan hesitated and dared not provoke Chu Xisheng further, not daring to ask.
After all, at this ti, not to ntion the State Preceptor unwilling to see this Infinite Blade Lord beco a court rebel; even the Emperor wishes to keep the Formless Divine Sect stable for the ti being.
Cao Xuan then shifted the topic: “Lord Wanhu, if the court intends for the Iron Banner Gang to raise troops in East State and harass the rear of the Extre East Ice City, would you be willing, Lord Wanhu?
The court is willing to support with military supplies and money. After crushing the Ice City rebels, they are willing to offer you the position of Governor of East State and the title of Pingdong Marquis as a reward for your rits—”
“I am not willing!”
Before Cao Xuan could finish, Chu Xisheng slightly shook his head and continued handling the paperwork on his desk with his wolf brush pen.
“Not only I am unwilling, but I also cannot. You saw those Protector Guests just now, what do you think their identities are? Why have they co? And those forces recently joining the Iron Banner Gang, what is their purpose? Is it truly for the Extre East Ice City?”
Cao Xuan was montarily stunned, pondering.
The aim of those Third-Grade martial cultivators siding with Chu Xisheng was clear, wasn’t it?
It is, of course, to cut down this Infinite Blade Lord, to eradicate this future Blood Revenge before it ever sprouts.
“Honestly, the Iron Banner Gang now harbors nurous hidden dangers, and if they erupt, the Iron Banner Gang will inevitably beco fragnted, ashes scattered to the wind. If I, Chu, do not resolve these hidden dangers properly, do not ascertain their purposes, I will feel a thorn in my back, unable to find peace.”
The wolf brush in Chu Xisheng’s hand paused montarily: “By the way, soone recently advised to marry a woman nad Qin, preferably from the Tieshan Qin Family.”
He looked at Cao Xuan aningfully: “A sorcerer with extrely high cultivation in magic told that the situation in West Mountain shaped like coiling dragons and hungry tigers is a supre blessed land, destined to produce nobles.
And decades ago, there was a rumor in the world, saying ‘The liking between Qin and Chu will give rise to West Mountain with the rising sun!’ If such rebellious words reach the Emperor’s ears, what should be done?”
Imdiately, Cao Xuan felt his scalp tingle, his chest and internal organs all numb.
A thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Were the earlier Protector Guests truly after the Infinite Blade Lord’s life?
What is the purpose of the powers behind them?
Cao Xuan also recalled that not long ago in You State, Chu Xisheng had interactions with Iron Mountain Princess Qin Xiyang.
These two are presently in a senior and junior sister-brother relationship.
Cao Xuan beca even more afraid for himself.
If one day Chu Xisheng raises a rebel flag at West Mountain, or is labeled a rebel by the court, what would beco of him, Cao Xuan?
Back when Chu Xisheng rose to prominence, he, Cao Xuan, contributed significantly.
Even though his mind harbored ill intentions, on the surface, it was he who step by step promoted Chu Xisheng to the position of hundred households and let him cultivate the “Nine Refinents of Extre Essence Purple Gold Body,” granting him an imnsely powerful Domineering Body.
Cao Xuan asked himself with a clear conscience, considering himself devoted to serving the court, yet how would the higher-ups view it? How would the Emperor perceive it?
