As the Winter Games progressed, everyone talked and laughed, talking about how good this important matter of the country was, how well it was handled, and how wise the Emperor was. In short, they summarized the purpose:
Just lick it!
After they were done licking the Emperor's boots, they would push out their younger generation and replace them to lick the boots. The Emperor would set the test questions and give them a chance to perform, and the Winter Meet would pass just like that.
That was what they thought, but Su Qingtian did not follow the rules.
Suddenly, Su Qingtian turned to Elder Zhang and said," Elder Zhang, you look unhappy. Is something on your mind?"”
Turning around, Su Qingtian looked at Liu Sidian and the others." And Liu Sidian, Liu Aiqing, why are you acting like Elder Zhang?"”
this
Manor Elder Zhang's heart skipped a beat. He stood up and said," Your Majesty, I'm just feeling a little frustrated. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about this on a day of celebration.”
"Oh?" Su Qingtian said," If you're upset, it means that the pavilion has been delayed and cannot be delayed.”
"Don't be restrained in today's Winter Meeting. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Elder Zhang had no choice but to agree to Su Qingtian's words. He hesitated and said," In that case, I have something to report!”
"Speak."
"Today, I brought the juniors into the city. About six miles outside the city, we were stopped by thieves who wanted to assassinate us. Fortunately, I have some cultivation and can move my bones. I was lucky enough to defeat the thief. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see Your Majesty.”
When Manor Elder Zhang finished speaking, the entire Morning Dew Hall fell silent. Everyone suddenly smelled the arrival of a storm!
The Morning Dew Hall was silent, and the atmosphere was low. Everyone could feel a dark cloud looming over the Morning Dew Hall!
Su Qingtian's slender fingers began to tap on the table.
Liu Sidian also said," Your Majesty, I was also attacked and killed on my way to the Imperial City. My second son died because of them.”
"I implore Your Majesty to investigate!"
A few other people who were in the same situation also said," I'm the same. I implore Your Majesty to investigate!”
Su Qingtian's expression became even more incomprehensible when they said that.
He knocked on the table, and there was nothing special in his tone." Outside the imperial city of Great Xia, there are actually thieves spying on us and plotting against the officials of Great Xia. Very good!”
Turning around, Su Qingtian asked Gu Qing," Gu Qing, who is the person in charge of patrolling outside the Imperial City today?”
"The Imperial City patrols. Guard General Hu Qing is the highest ranking general. Below him are the East Gate Guard Hu Kai, the West Gate Guard Han Yu, the South Gate Guard Liu Gu, and the North Gate Guard Wang Tong.”
Upon hearing this, a person in the arena immediately felt uneasy.
He was Hu Yue from the Bureau of Rites and Music. The Imperial City Guard General Hu Qing and the East Gate Guard Hu Kai that Gu Qing mentioned were both members of his Hu Clan!
After Gu Qing finished speaking, Su Qingtian's expression remained unchanged." Four guards and one general of the Imperial City. All of them are extraordinary masters. However, no one noticed such a terrible thing happening outside the Imperial City.”
"Are the patrols outside the city all for nothing?”
The atmosphere became even quieter. The pressure was very low.
"Minister Zhang, Minister Liu, do you know the identity of those bandits who tried to kill you?”
Elder Zhang replied," Your Majesty, these thieves never revealed their identities. After I killed them, I didn't find anything on their bodies that could prove their identities.”
Liu Sidian also replied," Your Majesty, I didn't find anything that can prove the thief's identity.”
"But I believe that this matter is probably related to everyone present!”
"Everyone knows what day it is today, and who would benefit from killing our team entering the city? I can't help but doubt everyone here!”
Liu Sidian then looked around." I have lost my beloved son, and I'm in a state of turmoil now. My words are not pleasant to the ears. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"”
Everyone hurriedly said," What is Liu Sidian saying? I understand, I understand. We also hope that Your Majesty will investigate and find the real culprit. Otherwise, we will also be restless.”
"Firstly, we are afraid of being framed and dragged into the muddy water. Secondly, we are also afraid that the real murderer, Xiaoyao, will point his demonic claws at us.”
Everyone echoed with righteous indignation, as if they were trying to distance themselves from evil.
At this moment, Nangong Yi thought for a moment, then stood up and said," Your Majesty! I have something to report."
"Oh?" Su Qingtian said," Today's Winter Meet is really lively."”
"Speak!"
Nangong Yi said," Your Majesty! Although this subject was not robbed on the way to and from the Imperial City, this subject discovered that there were traces of a battle on this subject's team!”
"I found three corpses on the battlefield. These three corpses had traces of being ravaged by the sword qi storm, but the sword qi was not the fatal wound that caused their death. The real cause of their death was the serious damage to their bodies!”
"And from the traces of the battle, it was a many-on-one battle, and there was only one winner!”
"And this person is able to damage the enemy without destroying the surface of the body. This person's cultivation has already reached the Transcendent State, so he must be an absolute expert! Super expert!"
Su Yuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip unhurriedly. He was still doing his own thing, daydreaming.
Gu Qing glanced at him imperceptibly.
Nangong Yi continued," After that, I checked the corpses. These three corpses were the same as the ones that Elder Zhang and the others encountered. They were all nameless and had nothing on them to prove their identities.”
"This subject surmises that the target of this group of people is probably the Nangong family team that this subject leads. However, this group of thieves was unlucky and bumped into that expert, allowing my Nangong family team to escape from danger.”
"As proof of this, I have brought one of the three corpses here.”
"Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Su Qingtian nodded." In that case," he said.
"Alright."
"I want to take this opportunity to see the quality of these young people.”
"I've decided to use today's incident as a test.”
"Pass down my decree. Bring the Imperial City's Defender General and the Four Gates Guards up! Nangong Yi, bring up the corpse you brought.”
"Yes, sir!"
