Misty Rain of the Old Times

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a middle-aged man in black coming quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he was already close.

It turned out to be him, the black-clad swordsman who caused quite a stir in Qingquan Temple that day. He was originally taken away by the Forbidden Martial Arts Division, but later Chen Xuan heard that he was saved by a mysterious man at a huge price. It seems that the so-called mysterious man is probably Prince Jiang. He is really planning to do something big and will not miss any opportunity to strengthen himself.

Noticing that the panicked Luo Wang seemed to be slightly relieved, Chen Xuan didn't care. Instead, he looked at the newcomer and said with a smile, "Big Brother, do you still recognize me? Is that why you stopped me?"

Fu Yuan saw Chen Xuan easily kill the Jin brothers from a distance. He was surprised at his strength. Then he saw Chen Xuan catching up with King Luo, and immediately rushed over anxiously to stop him. But when he saw that Chen Xuan did not kill him immediately, he also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as King Luo was not dead, there was room for turnaround. If the Jin brothers died, they would be dead. No matter how high their cultivation was, they were just guards.

Looking at Chen Xuan, he bowed and smiled, "Young Master Chen, you're joking. I met you once at Qingquan Temple that day, so how could I not remember? Back then, I was so bent on revenge that I impulsively activated the Four Directions Sword and accidentally damaged Young Master Chen's weapon. I wonder if the compensation has been sent yet?"

Although he didn't speak to Chen Xuan that day, he saw the whole process of Chen Xuan's claim and naturally remembered it.

"So this big brother still remembers me and has already received the compensation. Since we have a blood feud, I might as well lend you my sword. We are even now, but may I ask for your advice?" Chen Xuan nodded.

Chen Xuan sounded quite easy to talk to, but he was completely different from the decisiveness and ruthlessness he had shown before. It was best to make friends with such a person, as it was too dangerous to make him an enemy!

With a flash of thought, Fu Yuan said, "Please forgive me, Master Chen, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fu Yuan."

"Brother Fu, I don't know why you spoke out to stop him? I think you have seen that King Luo of Rong State wants to kill me. I am not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. I will kill whoever wants to kill me. After all, everyone has only one life. Isn't it fair?" Chen Xuan asked again with a smile.

The meaning is very clear. No matter who you are or why you stop me, if you don't give me a reason to hold back, King Luo will still die. I won't give anyone any face.

At this moment, King Luo's heart was lifted again. His life and death were in Chen Xuan's hands. He could not escape. He looked at Fu Yuan with pleading eyes, hoping that this person who suddenly appeared could speak for him. Perhaps there was still a chance to survive.

King Luo was not a very smart person. His previous arrogance and dominance were only based on his identity. Now that someone no longer cares about his identity, everyone is the same when it comes to life and death.

His heart tightened, and Fu Yuan hurriedly said, "Master Chen, Prince Luo cannot die. He is a hostage of the Rong Kingdom and the legitimate son of the Rong Emperor. The consequences are too great. If he dies here, the consequences will be disastrous. It is likely to cause hostility between the two countries, and even you, Master Chen, will be wanted by both countries!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan remained unmoved and said, "Don't put the blame on me. It's just a personal grudge between him and me. He wants to kill me, so I kill him. That's all. I don't care about anything else. If you insist on escalating it to that level, then that's fine. Brother Fu, look, I'm not wearing any shoes now, which is equivalent to being barefoot, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan lifted up one of his feet to show him, and shook the flip-flops on his toes. These were not proper shoes, so he was not wrong in saying that he was equivalent to being barefoot.

At the same time, Chen Xuan sneered inwardly. Some people, seeing that things had escalated beyond their control, became impatient. There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. If the matter were investigated, the mastermind behind the scenes would bear primary responsibility. They were trying to salvage the situation by using big words to pressure Chen Xuan. Would he care? After all, he wasn't the one anxious.

Fu Yuan was shocked again. Chen Xuan was not going to be persuaded no matter what he said. He was determined to kill King Luo. What should he do?

At the same time, he felt a little strange. This Chen Xuan seemed lawless and did things without considering the consequences, but he seemed to understand everything vaguely. He directly used "violence" to destroy the plan against him, which made people helpless and could only passively follow his rhythm.

Fu Yuan was originally a pure warrior, not good at conspiracy and intrigue. Faced with Chen Xuan's tough attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Mr. Chen, please excuse me for a moment. King Jiang wants to have a conversation."

There was no way. He could not cope with such a situation. He had seen Chen Xuan's strength before. He easily killed the Jin brothers and was determined to kill King Luo. He could not stop him and might get himself involved. He could only tell him about King Jiang's arrangement out of necessity, hoping that Chen Xuan could temporarily comply with Nasha's opinion. Perhaps King Jiang could turn the situation around.

Chen Xuan thought, is it finally here? This is exactly what he wanted. He was planning to talk to Prince Jiang afterwards. Since this is the case, he might as well solve the matter once and for all. Why bother playing tricks on Prince Jiang? Isn't it nice to just drink, sleep in and enjoy life?

Even though it was exactly what he wanted, he still pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Prince Jiang invites you? It is my honor. Please lead the way."

"Then he..." Fu Yuan looked at King Luo who was terrified.

Smiling, Chen Xuan said: "Take them all away and spare his life for now."

Well, temporarily, keeping the head on his neck is useful.

When King Luo wanted to kill Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan had no intention of letting him go. He always adhered to the principle of "I will respect you as much as you can, and I will do whatever I can to those who do the wrong to me." As for the consequences, he did not care. He, Chen Xuan, had no burden in killing King Luo, and it was others who were anxious.

Would killing King Luo lead to hostility between the two countries and devastating human suffering? Overthinking it. If that ever happened, Chen Xuan might have been the cause, but wars are always started by the same few people. If they can't solve the problem, can't they solve the people who caused it? In short, strength gives you confidence. You can handle it!
In fact, many things in the world are not that complicated. Chen Xuan has seen through it long ago. The lives of civilians are not lives. The lives of those masters are precious. They don’t care no matter how many civilians die. But if they are threatened, haha, no matter how big the matter is, it is actually not a big deal.

His heart tightened, Fu Yuan heard the hidden meaning and said with a forced smile: "Please follow me."

I hope that His Royal Highness Prince Jiang can calm Chen Xuan down and make him give up on killing, otherwise something serious will happen.

Why did you provoke him for no reason? Now you are probably in a difficult situation.

If Prince Jiang had not protected Fu Yuan once and done him a favor, he would not have gotten involved in this muddy water. No matter how small the matter is with the upper class people, it is like walking on thin ice around them. The level of danger is nothing compared to the fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes.
For some reason, Fu Yuan suddenly felt that the deep blood feud between him and the anonymous monk was just like a child playing house...

As they left with Fu Yuan, Luo Wang was accompanied by him. On the way, Luo Wang did not dare to look at Chen Xuan. He whispered his gratitude to Fu Yuan, "Thank you very much, brave man. I will report back to you later. Could you please help collect the bodies of my guards?"

Fu Yuan didn't say anything, thinking to himself that whether you can survive is still a question, but you still think about your subordinates, which is a good thing.

The place where King Jiang invited Chen Xuan was not far away. It was an inconspicuous manor outside the city, only four or five miles away from where he killed the Jin brothers.

"Is he personally here to control the situation? I was right," Chen Xuan said inwardly. As for Prince Jiang, he was still in seclusion, so as long as he didn't show up in public, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the emperor's will.

There aren't many people in this manor, and it seems a bit deserted. Maybe it was temporarily requisitioned.

When Chen Xuan arrived, there were already seven or eight innate masters here. It seemed that Prince Jiang was very afraid of death. Maybe he brought all the capable guards he had recruited. After all, there were only a limited number of innate masters in the entire Jing Kingdom.

Among them, Chen Xuan also saw the person who blocked the road on the bridge that day. He learned that his name was Liang Jing, and he didn't know how distantly related he was to Liang Ren, whom he had known at the beginning.

Of course, the seven or eight innate masters here are not all people recruited by Prince Jiang. There are outsiders here, including the fourth prince of Frost Moon Kingdom, Prince Yu, and his guards.

After introducing each other, Chen Xuan learned that the fourth prince of Frost Moon Kingdom, Jade King, was named Zhang Yang. Well, the royal family of Frost Moon Kingdom was surnamed Zhang. He was in his early twenties and was a congenital master himself. However, it was obvious that he had only been in the country for a short time. It was probably built up with a large amount of resources, and his foundation was not stable. He was of good looks, and he always had a gentle smile on his face. His eyes were steady, and he looked quite sophisticated.

Compared to King Luo of Rong State, this King Yu is much stronger in character and strength.

Prince Jiang was actually involved with Prince Jade of Frost Moon. When did this happen? Chen Xuan suspected that Prince Luo was simply a pawn that Prince Jiang was using to manipulate him. Prince Jade was the one he really wanted to use against him, but his quick decision ruined his subsequent plans, forcing him to side with him temporarily.

This was the first time Chen Xuan met Prince Jiang. He was in his early forties and had an extraordinary bearing. His every move did not give people the impression of being strong and overbearing. His words and deeds were humble and measured. Chen Xuan's first impression could be summed up in one sentence: he was indeed a man who wanted to do big things.

In comparison, Prince Zhou Chen's benevolence and generosity are a little lacking. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

While being polite, Prince Jiang was also secretly observing Chen Xuan. Thinking of his willful personality and his ruthless and decisive way of doing things, he immediately ruled out the idea of ​​winning him over. This kind of person was not something he could control and was a double-edged sword.

Then he had to admit that Chen Xuan was really a handsome man, as if he was not bound by worldly constraints. His words and deeds were imaginative and unpretentious. He was powerful but did not act like a master at all. It was very comfortable to be friends with him, and people felt close to him unconsciously. No wonder he could attract his younger sister.

But it was this person who was blocking my way. He was involved with my younger sister and would not respond to any persuasion. If I didn't deal with him properly, something bad might happen!

After exchanging polite introductions, Chen Xuan, since he was invited by someone else, smiled politely and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jiang, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and all of you. This idle man from the mountains, Chen Xuan, is here to greet you."

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. It's our first meeting. You are truly a rare talent. I'd like to offer you a glass of wine. I hope you won't mind," said the host, Prince Jiang, with a smile on his face.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Chen Xuan had already given the invitation to Prince Jiang, and he didn't like to play along, so he said straight to the point: "I was dealing with some minor matters at the critical moment, and His Royal Highness Prince Jiang sent someone to stop me. I dare to ask His Royal Highness to help me solve my doubts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.

Although Chen Xuan's words were euphemistic, except for a few, no one present was stupid. His meaning was very clear. He was just short of saying, "You'd better give me a reasonable reason..." (End of this chapter)
