The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

After all this commotion, Chu Yunxi was also awakened. She sat up from the bed and heard the conversation between Xiao Mubei and Xiao Shan, and knew that Xiao Shan had come.

But isn't Xiaoshan unable to speak? Chu Yunxi asked doubtfully, "Master Xiaoshan, can you speak now?"

Xiao Shan said in a low voice, "In fact, I can always speak, but I pretended to be mute in the palace for the safety of the emperor."

So that's how it is. Xiao Mubei also said, "When I was young, I followed Master Xiao Shan to learn martial arts. He could always speak. But after I joined the army, Master Xiao Shan spoke less and less. Later, he simply stopped talking in the palace to prevent people from using him to make trouble. Now that he is out of the palace, he no longer has this concern and can naturally resume talking."

Chu Yunxi then realized that Xiao Mubei was going to light the oil lamp, but Xiao Shan stopped him and said, "I came here in secret this time and don't want anyone to know. Your Majesty, please don't light the lamp."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mubei stopped lighting the oil lamp and asked, "Is Grandfather Huang all right? What brought Master Xiaoshan here this time?"

Xiao Shan nodded in the dark, then remembered that Xiao Mubei might not be able to see, so he spoke again: "Everything is fine with the emperor, I came here this time because of the Black Killing Order."

Black Killing Order! Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were both shocked. Chu Yunxi thought of the big palm print on Ali's chest. Xiao Mubei said that it was Xiao Shan's famous skill, the Tathagata Palm. Now Xiao Shan came here specially. Could it be that he was really related to these two assassins?

Chu Yunxi was still thinking, but Xiao Mubei had already asked, "Master, do you know those two assassins?"

Xiao Shan said: "I don't know these two people, but their master is my junior fellow apprentice."

Junior brother? Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei held their breath, afraid of missing a single word from Xiao Shan.

"The Black Killing Order was originally the token of the leader of our sect. Our sect is called the Xianle Sect. All the disciples in the sect can play musical instruments, and they all use musical instruments as weapons. When each disciple joins the sect, they will choose a weapon and have the image of the weapon tattooed on their back. From then on, this weapon will follow him for the rest of his life. Even if it is damaged, a new one will be made in the same exact way. The most powerful thing about the Xianle Sect is not the musical instruments or weapons, but the internal force of the Tathagata Palm. My master was the previous leader, and he only had two disciples, me and my junior brother. My junior brother's talent in martial arts and musical instruments is higher than mine. My master intends to pass the position of leader to him, and I am happy to do so. I don't want to be the leader myself, and I just want to learn martial arts quietly. However, many people in the sect want me to be the leader, and they think that my junior brother is not a decent person, so my master is a little hesitant. My junior brother thinks that I am a stepping stone in front of him, so he targets me everywhere and even wants to kill me as soon as possible."

As expected, his character is not very good, Chu Yunxi thought to herself.

Xiao Shan didn't know what Chu Yunxi was thinking, so he continued, "At that time, I didn't know what he was thinking. I still treated him as my junior brother and was completely unprepared for him. Unexpectedly, he secretly planned to trick me down the mountain and put poison in my food. After the poison took effect, he thought I was doomed, so he threw me in the inn and went back to the sect to tell the master that I had an accident. The master believed it and later passed the position of the head to my junior brother, but I was saved by the emperor. Because the poison was too severe, it took me almost half a year to recover. At this time, my junior brother was already the head of the Xianle Sect, and the master had already gone into seclusion and could not be seen. I didn't want to cause turmoil in the Xianle Sect, so I hid my identity and followed the emperor to become his secret guard. I thought that as long as my junior brother led the Xianle Sect on the right path, I would not pursue the matter of him killing me. We have different paths, so we can just not go together. Anyway, I want to repay my gratitude and don't plan to go back."

“You just let him go like that?” Chu Yunxi was a little angry. This junior brother was so cruel and ruthless that for the position of the sect leader, he even killed his senior brother without hesitation. How could such a person be allowed to stay in the world?

Xiao Shan sighed, "I was too soft-hearted. When there was news about the Xianle Sect later, the sect leader's token had become a black killing order. At that time, the Xianle Sect was still in Dasui. They could hide anywhere at will, perhaps in the palace orchestra or in the folk opera troupe, and then carry out assassinations and take human lives lightly. When I found out, I was extremely shocked. I reported it to the emperor, and then I took people back to the sect and killed them all the way to my junior brother. I originally wanted to kill him, but he knelt down and begged me, admitting his mistake with tears, saying that he was just bewildered for a while and begged me to spare him. I softened my heart again and expelled him from Dasui. I asked him to swear that the Xianle Sect would never set foot in Dasui again, and would not allow assassinations to happen again. If he broke his oath, I would definitely destroy the Xianle Sect. He agreed to me and took the Xianle Sect's people to Shusha. Over the years, he has indeed not returned to Dasui, but a few days ago, I followed the emperor to travel around the capital, and I found people from the Xianle Sect again, so I followed them and came here."

"They broke their oath. Not only are they still carrying out assassinations and spreading the Black Killing Order in Shusha in a mysterious way, but they are also following Shusha's eldest prince into the territory of Dasui again. Master Xiaoshan, what are you going to do?" Xiao Mubei poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Since he broke his oath, I can only keep my promise, destroy the Xianle Sect, and eliminate the harm to the people."

"But before we destroy the Xianle Sect, we have to figure out one thing, that is, who commissioned them to kill Crown Prince Shusha this time. Now I suspect that there are people from the Xianle Sect lurking in this delegation, waiting for an opportunity to attack the crown prince. Master Xiaoshan, can you recognize someone from the Xianle Sect?" Chu Yunxi said in the direction of Xiaoshan. It was too dark in the tent and she couldn't see Xiaoshan's people.

"Yes, I can see that the internal skills practiced by the people of Xianle Sect are different from those of the people of other sects. In fact, I have been observing them secretly these days. I already know who the people from Xianle Sect who are lurking in the delegation are. I came to you tonight just to tell you, and I hope you can keep them alive. I want to know how many people from Xianle Sect have been dispatched this time, and where their lair in Shusha is." Xiao Shan whispered the name into Xiao Mubei's ear, and Xiao Mubei nodded to indicate that he understood.

After Xiao Shan left, Xiao Mubei lay back on the bed. Chu Yunxi couldn't sleep either, so the two of them simply discussed the case. After Xiao Shan's guidance, the case had become much clearer. They just had to wait until dawn so that the Xianle faction members lurking in the delegation would be exposed.
