Embers of Sword

Chapter 190 Sword Qi

It turns out that seeing the Saint is seeing all living beings.

Xie Xuanyi stood in the center of the hall, silently looking at the tall figure that was shining brightly.

After a brief moment of unconsciousness.

He looked away.

The gaze between him and the Saint Queen lasted only a moment, but he sensed the familiar meaning of the Great Dao...

Xuanshui Dongtian, the first master.

Yes.

Under the black robe of the First Lord, the hidden eyes were extremely similar to the pupils of the Holy Queen.

The way of all beings.

The path of cultivation for these two people...seems to be the same.

Perhaps it was because of the long time, or perhaps it was because the Saint Queen's realm was too high, but this moment of eye contact made Xie Xuanyi's soul feel the long-lost vibration and roar.

If you have to compare.

The divine consciousness that the First Lord left in Xuanshui Cave Heaven was much dimmer than the tall woman standing in front of him.

"Are you Xie Xuanyi's disciple?"

The Holy Queen's voice resounded in the hall once again.

Xie Xuanyi calmed his breathing and spoke slowly: "...Yes."

he knows.

The image of all living things worn on his cheek could not resist the "gaze" of a powerful person of this level.

But... without full preparation.

How dare Xie Xuanyi enter the palace and meet the Empress Dowager?
The moment they looked at each other.

The "sword energy" between his brows gushed out and condensed into a bright and spotless lotus, hanging high above Xie Xuanyi's head, releasing green sword energy, illuminating the dim hall by one-third.

Since then.

The glory of this palace no longer belongs directly to the Holy Queen alone.

Another three points fell on Xie Xuanyi's shoulders and hair.

"It seems that Zhao Chunyang really values you."

The Holy Queen stood in the endless blazing light with her hands behind her back, and smiled softly, "This lotus is good, very beautiful."

The radiance that originally belonged to the imperial palace was blocked by the lotus.

If you want to use your divine sense to forcibly spy on Xie Xuanyi's sea of ​​consciousness, body, and secrets.

Then this lotus will be stimulated instantly!
Not long ago.

Someone just caused a big disturbance in the Imperial City...

The deterrent power of this lotus is still strong today.

The Holy Queen took a glance and then looked away.

"..."

Faced with such praise, Xie Xuanyi didn't know what to say.

"A few days ago, I met your master's master... After so many years, he is still in his prime, which is amazing."

She said in a gentle voice: "The fortune of Dasui Sword Palace has turned from decline to prosperity, and he has made an indelible contribution. Now that we have you, it won't be long before the Sword Palace can regain its former glory."

Contrary to Xie Xuanyi's expectations, the conversation in the hall was not as sharp as he had imagined.

There was no suppression in the Queen's words.

A peaceful atmosphere.

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Saint Queen, you are too kind. Compared with Master Chunyang, Xie Zhen is like an ant compared to the sun and the moon."

"You're better than I thought."

The Holy Queen said softly: "If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, Da Chu can solve them for you."

Just a while ago.

Qing Falcon had already made a recruitment attempt...but his method of forcing himself to sign a soul contract was far inferior to that of the Holy Queen herself.

These words are very weighty.

There is no emperor in Da Chu, and the Holy Queen is in power.

If Xie Xuanyi accepts the favor, it means that he will receive endless favor from the emperor.

In a sense.

He also tacitly agreed to his own camp and put the Dasui Sword Palace and the Dachu Royal Family on the same front.

"Holy Queen, there is really no difficulty in thanking you."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head slightly and said, "If there are any difficulties, the Sword Palace will help me solve them."

The Holy Queen looked thoughtfully at the slowly rotating lotus.

Endless holy light wanders in the hall.

There are thousands of threads, but none of them fell on the lotus.

"brat."

Her tone was still gentle: "There are always some difficulties that the Sword Palace cannot solve."

Xie Xuanyi still shook his head: "There are always some difficulties that you need to face yourself."...

……

This conversation did not last long.

The Queen Mother summoned him for just a simple greeting.

The holy light in the hall was very dazzling tonight, but the lotus made Xie Xuanyi feel at ease.

perhaps.

This is why the atmosphere tonight is so “harmonious”.

It’s because of Zhao Chunyang.

Only all the sword practitioners in Dashui Sword Palace can stand up straight within the imperial city.

After leaving the palace, Xie Xuanyi raised his head.

The night is long and dark, and all the stars are out.

Yuan Jimo sat on the horse, holding a long sword and closing his eyes to rest.

"Out?"

Yuan Jimo slowly opened his eyes with a teasing look in his eyes.

Xie Xuanyi had a blank expression on his face. He pretended not to see the man and just left.

"Don't be anxious, Master Xie."

Yuan Jimo turned the reins, rode up and said with a smile: "Tonight's fun has just begun... Oh, by the way, should I call you Little Marquis Xie?"

Young Lord Xie?

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, not quite understanding what this title meant.

"I have made several painful appeals today, and finally I have obtained an imperial decree of reward from the Holy Empress!"

Yuan Jimo took out an imperial edict from his bosom, slowly shook it open, and said in a low voice, word by word: "Xie Zhen of Dasui Sword Palace has obeyed my order. For his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion in Qingzhou, he will be granted the title of 'Marquis of Jianqi' from today onwards, with a fief of 1,000 households, and enjoy the Marquis' Mansion in Beiping Street!"

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi stood there in silence.

He looked at Yuan Jimo coldly and did not kneel down to accept the order.

Grant the sword spirit?
Although he had pacified the rebellion in Qingzhou and it was a merit, no matter how he settled the accounts, it was not worth the reward of being made a marquis!
Even if there really is a reward, it should be obtained by Chen Jingxuan on his behalf.

How could it be Yuan Jimo's turn?

On the first day of entering the imperial city, he was pushed to the forefront and received such a huge reward!
Can this be a good thing?

Absolutely not.

"Congratulations. From now on... there is no longer only one Xie family in the world. In addition to the Jiangning Xie family, there is also a second Xie family."

Yuan Jimo smiled and said, "Your mansion is on Beiping Street. Tsk, that's a great place. It's large and spacious, and can accommodate hundreds of people."

He rode his horse around Xie Zhen several times and said with emotion: "Congratulations to young Master Xie. You have been granted a title of nobility at such a young age... I forgot to tell you that I have sent people to spread the news in the imperial city. If it weren't for an important event tonight, I'm sure there would be many people in front of your mansion to celebrate."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi remained silent.

In fact, on the way here, he had vaguely realized that the audience tonight would not be that simple.

The previous conversation in front of the palace seemed warm and gentle, but in fact there were undercurrents.

A real storm.

Not in front of the palace, but after leaving the palace.

"Just a few days ago, the Imperial City Department received a secret order."

Yuan Jimo spoke meaningfully, "Ten years ago, someone conspired with the Demon Country, colluded with the imperial guards, broke into the dungeon, and opened the city gates to create riots... This turmoil not only released the precious demon beasts raised by the Da Chu royal family, but also released many serious criminals. After the riot was quelled, all the betrayers were beheaded. But today, someone discovered the 'remnants' hiding in the city."

Xie Xuanyi had a blank expression on his face. He stood still and silently clenched his fingers tightly.

The lake in my heart was churning and pain was everywhere.

That year, when the Yueyin Realm incident happened, he escaped from the Dachu Imperial City.

All that remains of this memory are a few fragmented pieces that cannot be connected together and are scattered.

But he vaguely remembered it.

At that time, the Dachu Imperial City was in a state of chaos from top to bottom...

Obviously, Jiang Huang also took this opportunity to escape from the imperial city.

“Remnants…”

Xie Xuanyi's voice was hoarse, and he slowly raised his head: "Who?"

"Young Lord Xie, you just met today."

Yuan Jimo looked down at the black-clothed youth beside the horse, and said slowly in a cold and compassionate tone: "What a coincidence. Thanks to you, the Imperial City Bureau had the opportunity to find key evidence in the mansion of the 'thief'... It's really unbelievable. With the emperor's great grace, this thief actually hid for ten years and tried to pass himself off as the emperor."

Xie Xuanyi's mind went blank.

He looked at Yuan Jimo, frowned and asked, "Lin family?"

"good."

"It's the Lin family."

Yuan Jimo smiled and said, "The Holy Order has just been issued. Tonight... is the day to clean up the remaining evildoers."
