Chapter 182, Xiang An confesses
One day later, Qingshi returned to the Immortal Sword Sect.
After going up the mountain, Qingshi met Jian Yi. It turned out that Jian Jiu had found him a month ago. After explaining to Jian Yi what happened in the sect, Jian Yi naturally came back with Jian Jiu.
Now Jian Yi is concentrating on his hard training and preparing to take the Sword Immortal test again. When the two met, they naturally talked about their farewells and drank heavily. After staying on the mountain for two days, Qingshi said goodbye to the elders, Jian Yi Jian Jiu and other friends and went down the mountain. This time, Xiang An naturally took him with him.
After leaving the mountain gate, Qingshi released the Black Tiger. The huge black warship was like a dark cloud covering the sky. Xiang An was frightened and stared blankly at the behemoth. He was dumbfounded and at a loss for a while. After a while, he said: "Brother Qingshi still has such a big killer." ! My dear! Fortunately, I didn’t use the Xuanwei to deal with you! Finally, I had good intentions, otherwise I would have been turned into scum by you. It can be seen that good intentions have their own rewards! "
Qingshi sneered and said: "The five cannons of the Xuanwei are not weak. If the battleship was not suitable for large battles and not single combat, and only suitable for strong attacks and not sneak attacks, you wouldn't have fired at me long ago! "
"Brother Qingshi, why did you say this?" Xiang An looked aggrieved, "I really don't want to deal with you! Even if I am forced to do anything, I still hope to be as gentle as possible. I have never thought of dealing with you. Fire! By the way, let’s take the Xuanwei!"
"Don't think about it!" Qingshi said lightly, "I have reset all the control systems of the Xuanwei and now have complete control. I also placed eight puppets for auxiliary operations. You can't take them back. That’s it.”
"Alas!" Xiang An sighed, "You always have to misunderstand me. Is it possible for me to escape from your hands like this? I mean there are imperial garrisons along the coast. They often conduct vigilance and inspections. They take the Xuanwei No one dares to stop it, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Oh! What you said makes sense." Qingshi understood and immediately took back the Xuanhu and released the Xuanwei. After boarding the spaceship, Qingshi controlled the spacecraft and flew towards the east.
Qingshi already knew that the island where Xiang An placed Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun under house arrest was called Fujia Island, and he also knew the location of the island. There is a map of the sea among Xiang An's belongings. From the map, Fujia Island does not exist. According to Xiang An, it is located 2,320 miles away from the mainland, and Laosha Island is 360 miles northeast. The island country, its nearest island is the Tanlong Islands of the Black Sea Country in the south, about 160 miles away.
Qingshi drew a small circle in that area on the chart, and after setting the general direction, he let the puppet take over the driving while he walked to Xiang An, who was sitting on the side of the deck with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Qingshi said to Xiang An: "Brother Xiang, let's make an agreement first. If you try to lie to me again, I will let Xiaopang eat you in one bite immediately."
"Don't dare!" Xiang An opened his eyes and said with a bitter smile.
"Don't you dare?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qingshi's mouth, "I don't really believe you, but fortunately I have a way to make you tell the truth." After saying that, Qingshi slapped Xiang An on the head, He was knocked unconscious immediately, and Xiang An fell to the deck.
Qing Shimo used his true energy to penetrate Xiang An's head and cast the spell according to the forbidden lifting technique taught by Chun Niang. After a long while, he suddenly froze, cursed secretly and retracted his palm.
There was a crisp sound, and Xiang An was slapped in the mouth by Qingshi. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he saw Qingshi squatting in front of him and glaring at him.
"Brother Qingshi!" Xiang An exclaimed, "Are you going to kill me?"
"I really want to tear you into pieces," Qingshi scolded, "You bastard said you dare not lie to me, but you have been lying to me all the time! How can you have any kind of gag spell?"
"No?" Xiang An said innocently, "But they said they cast a spell on me! How did you know?"
"I just know it!" Qingshi scolded, "I went specifically to learn how to understand forbidden arts, but I didn't know you, bastard, actually lied to me."
"That's it!" Xiang An sat up and shook his head and said, "It turns out they lied to me and made me worry all the time. Brother Qingshi, you are so kind. Thank you for helping me resolve this knot."
"You're welcome!" Qingshi said angrily, "Can you say it now?"
"say what?"
"I asked you to kill my mastermind!"
"You can't say that! Brother Qingshi, do you really want me to die?"
"You are not under any kind of gag spell. If you tell me, you won't die. If you don't, I will let you die now!"
"Even if I say it, I will die, and I will bring trouble to my family. I am also a senior and junior person..."
"Nonsense! Your Xiang family is now the largest family in the world. Will your family be affected by you for the rest of their lives?"
"What about my children and grandchildren..."
"Your Xiang family men are not allowed to get married and have children until they are 100 years old. Do you think I don't know? You don't even have a mother-in-law, so how can you have children and grandchildren?"
"There will always be."
"If you don't tell me, there will be no future. Fatty!"
The little fat boy appeared out of thin air with a bang. He stretched out his chubby arm and wiped his grease mouth and said, "Boss, are you going to eat this kid?"
"No, no, no, don't! Can't I say it?" Xiang An shouted with a crying voice.
"Okay! I'm listening!" Qingshi stared at him with wide eyes to see what other tricks he had.
"Actually, you know it in your heart," Xiang An said, "Why do you have to force me to tell you?"
"I don't believe it!" Qingshi said, "I just want to hear it from your own mouth. By the way, in addition to learning the art of lifting the ban this time, I also learned the art of lie detection. If you lie again, you will really be dead."
"Real or false?" Xiang An asked doubtfully, "How come I haven't heard of lie detection?"
"Brother Xiang!" Qingshi said with sincerity, "You know me well and know that I value friendship and do not kill innocent people, so you keep talking nonsense to me. However, even though you are forced, you are not innocent. . There is a limit to human patience! If you tell the truth and I won’t kill you, if you lie to me again, I won’t feel the burden of killing you anymore. I’ve said everything that needs to be said, you can do whatever you want. !I'll give you five seconds, five..."
"What does seconds mean?"
"Little Fatty, let me eat him!"
With a soft bang, Xiaopang turned into a huge monster as long as one-third of a warship. He lowered his head, opened his bloody mouth and swallowed Xiang An into his mouth.
"The Emperor!" Xiang An shouted hysterically in the monster's mouth, his voice dull and crazy, "He is the current Emperor!"
The little fat man spat Xiang An back on the deck with a pop, then turned back into a human with a pop, and made a face at Xiang An.
Xiang An's head and face were covered with mucus and drool, and he was in shock. He shouted hoarsely: "Now you are satisfied! Now you are satisfied! I have told you that you know the answer..."
"No!" Qingshi shouted, "I don't believe it! Did he personally give you the order? Tell me! Did the current emperor Mo Sihai personally give you the order?"
"No," Xiang An shouted, "but what's the difference?"
"No?" Qingshi was stunned and calmed down a little, "Tell me clearly, who gave the order?"
"It's Xia Yiming!"
"Then why do you say you are the current emperor?"
"Xia Yiming is conveying the emperor's will!"
"Is there an imperial edict?"
"No, it's an oral order! But he has the Golden Sword Order, and there are also Qin Yuantai, the general manager of the Internal Guard Mansion, and Fang Lang, the deputy general manager, present. Is it possible that this is false?"
"You are an internal guard. Why didn't Qin Yuantai give you the order but Xia Yiming?"
"Xia Yiming is also the nominal first-class bodyguard of Ouchi. He has also replaced Senjing and became the commander of the Royal Forest Army. He is also the assistant prime minister and the emperor's eldest disciple. He is higher than Qin Yuantai in terms of official title and status. He is the same as Qin Yuantai Fang Lang. It is only right to stand up and deliver the decree, and it is only right that he should be the leader. What is wrong with this? If Xia Yiming hadn't come with the Emperor's Golden Sword Order for such a big matter, would I have believed it just by relying on Qin Yuantai's oral instructions? "
Qingshi stayed for a long time before saying: "Do you think there is a possibility that these three people conspired to correct the imperial edict?"
Xiang An sneered: "You still don't believe that your senior brother Mo will kill you? Who forced you to lose your position as prince and be expelled from Chao Ge? Don't you understand?"
"This matter was agreed upon by my master and I," Qingshi said, "You don't know the inside story at all."
"Come on! You are deceiving yourself!" Xiang An said, "There is no civil or military person in the entire dynasty who doesn't know that this was arranged by your senior brother Mo, and that he forced your master to make the decision. I really don't know the details, but I dare to say It's him who did it, don't you dare to say that he didn't? He forced you to lose your position as Crown Prince, and now he wants to take your life. Isn't this logical? Are you so unbelievable? "
"I don't believe it!" Qingshi turned around and waved his hand, suppressing the depression in his chest and shouted, "I just don't believe it!"
Qingshi was denounced by Ou Changzhi, had his title taken away from him, broke off the engagement, and was expelled from the capital. Only Ou Changzhi, Mo Sihai and Qingshi knew the specific details, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Xiang An, had roughly guessed it. After all, Anyway, Mo Sihai was manipulating it.
For a while, the two of them stopped talking. There was a long silence. Even Xiaopang didn't dare to disturb Qingshi. He just lay gently on the deck and looked at his sad back.
After a long time, Qingshi finally calmed down his emotions.
Even with Xiang An's confession, even though everything seemed reasonable and in line with his guess, Qingshi was always hesitant about the murderer behind the scenes being Mo Sihai.
But judging from the current situation, Qingshi can't think of any other possibilities. Perhaps, only time can finally reveal the truth!
At the moment, the most important thing is to save his life. No matter who is the real culprit behind the scenes, he cannot send just Xiang An to assassinate him. If Xiang An can become the killer, others will also be possible. If the next killer he encounters is a master above the elixir realm, Qingshi may not be able to dodge it.
Qingshi knew that his decision to leave the Tianlong Continent and hide overseas was correct. Now, he has to speed up his departure.
It took about an hour to fly from the Immortal Sword Sect to Donghai City. The flight went smoothly without any obstacles.
Qingshi piloted the spaceship and landed quietly in a forest a few miles outside the city. Then he asked Xiaopang to look at Xiang An while he walked into the city to do some shopping.
Qingshi mainly bought all kinds of meat, fruits and vegetables. He raided several delicatessen shops and fruit shops, and almost bought out a meat and vegetable wholesale market. It's not easy to fill a little fat stomach, let alone prepare for a long-term life at sea.
Afterwards, Qingshi returned to the spacecraft, piloted the Xuanwei, and flew into the East China Sea without hesitation.
