"Hahaha!"
After a period of deathly silence, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in front of the courtyard door.
Chen Huanjuan pointed at Chu Qingxiao and said loudly: "Boy, you are so interesting!"
"Did the imperial court create a false identity for you?"
"What? Are you still a big shot, or a secret envoy of the imperial court?"
Chen Huanjuan looked at Chu Qingxiao with great interest and asked.
Not only Chen Huanjuan, but Song Qingqing and Rui Xiaozhu beside him also looked at Chu Qingxiao with confused expressions.
They didn't understand what Chu Qingxiao wanted to do with his words?
Bringing up the name of the Great Xia court is certainly bluffing.
But this bullshit is so big that it is hard to believe.
You can't really pretend to be some kind of imperial emissary like Chen Huanjuan said, right?
Such rhetoric is easy to expose and unconvincing.
Just like the drunkard on the street who says he is some kind of hidden master, he will only become the laughing stock of others.
Facing everyone's mocking or doubtful looks, Chu Qingxiao just smiled faintly, then looked at Chen Huanjuan and said, "Of course not."
"I am Chu Qingxiao, born in the 27th year of Wanning, from Wuling City in Muzhou."
"Twelve years ago, Wuling City was destroyed, and the imperial court destroyed the household registration in Wuling City. Therefore, there is no household registration now, so the household registration can only be temporarily written in the name of Xuncheng. However, the owner of Xuncheng City is an upright man, and his officials are also responsible for their affairs. The household registration of me and Qingqing have not been verified, and I have not been naturalized yet."
"People from Wuling City?" As soon as Chu Qingxiao said these words, the pedestrians around him looked strange.
The destruction of Wuling City happened twelve years ago. For most people, this was just a topic they talked about after dinner, and it did not stir up too many disturbances in their hearts.
The only thing that made them feel strange was that the junior uncle from Qingque Peak was also from Wuling City.
Chen Huanjuan sneered: "Boy, do you really think that I am an elder for nothing?"
"After Wuling City was destroyed, the imperial court deprived them of their residence, but whether they were rescued on the way like the master of Qingque Peak or escaped before being coerced by the rebels of Xizhou Jianjia, the imperial court gave them all According to the law, let them be naturalized in other territories.”
"Even if you are from Wuling City, you should have a normal household registration status!"
Chu Qingxiao said, "Elder Chen, you also said that only those who escaped in the middle or came out from the beginning have time to catch up with the court's laws."
"But we only escaped from Wuling City three months ago, how could we come in time?"
Chu Qingxiao's tone was calm, but what he said shocked everyone present.
Song Qingqing and Rui Xiaozhu's expressions changed suddenly, and they looked at the young man beside them in astonishment, wondering why he would reveal this biggest secret so easily in front of so many people.
Xu Ran, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows with a strange expression.
The girl next to him also trembled in her heart, and her eyes flickered at Chu Qingxiao and Song Qingqing beside him.
The surrounding passers-by also exclaimed in surprise, and even Chen Huanjuan was stunned.
"What are you talking about?"
"Wuling City has been deserted since its destruction twelve years ago. You said you escaped from Wuling City just three months ago? Then where were you before? Why didn't you escape from Wuling City and stay in Wuling City all the time? In that ruins?"
Chu Qingxiao took a deep breath, glanced at everyone present, and immediately said: "Twelve years ago, Wuling City was destroyed. I, along with the souls of many people in Wuling City and the Xizhou Sword Armor, were trapped in the ancient god Zhu Yin's open eternal... In the night world.”
"It wasn't until three months ago that the Jianjias fought to the death and finally broke through the barrier of eternal night, allowing me to escape. As a result, all the Jianjia's souls were scattered!"
Chu Qingxiao's words were shocking, and everyone around him exclaimed again, looking at Chu Qingxiao in shock.
"Eternal Night Realm? I seem to have seen this thing in some ancient book. It seems to be the method of the ancient god Zhu Yin."
"Wait a minute, that guy just said he was born in Wanning in the 27th year? It's been thirty years now, right? Doesn't this guy look that old?"
"It is said that the passage of time in the Evernight Realm is different from that in the outside world. Is it because of this reason..."
Chen Huanjuan listened to the whispers of the pedestrians behind him, his face flushed, and he said loudly.
"absurd!"
"Chu Qingxiao! You forged your identity and sneaked into my Tianxuan Mountain with ulterior motives!"
"It is possible that he is a spy from the Demon Sect or an evil god. Now he has made up such ridiculous rhetoric to try to get away with it. Do you really think that I, Tianxuanshan, are a three-year-old child? Will you be deceived by your rhetoric? ?”
Chu Qingxiao also took a step at this time and looked at Chen Huanjuan.
"Elder Chen also knows that my words are ridiculous!?"
After asking this question, he did not wait for Chen Huanjuan's response. He looked at the crowd behind Chen Huanjuan and said loudly: "I think you all should think that what I am saying is ridiculous."
"But I would like to ask you all, if I, Chu Qingxiao, are really as evil as Elder Chen said, in order to hide my identity at this moment, don't I know that I should find a reasonable excuse?"
"But why would I make up such a ridiculous reason?"
"Because every word I say is true!"
"Rui Xiaozhu from Bailong Peak
Consider me a witness! "
"Xiang An from Ganquan Peak can also testify for me!"
"Zhao Nianshuang from Qingque Peak is my brother and sister, and she can even vouch for me!"
Although Rui Xiaozhu didn't understand why Chu Qingxiao was so impulsive today, now that Chu Qingxiao had made a decision, she would naturally support it without hesitation.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate and stepped forward. Although she didn't say a word, her appearance already showed her attitude.
This made the onlookers even more surprised.
They also realized that today's bustle seemed to indicate something big.
Chen Huanjuan also felt that the development of the situation exceeded his expectations.
He originally accepted some benefits from Fan Yuanwu and helped him arrest Chu Qingxiao. He only thought that Chu Qingxiao had some trouble with Fan Yuanwu and thus incurred revenge.
But now Chu Qingxiao has brought the matter to Wuling City, and even involves Zhao Nianshuang, which is not something that he, a young elder, can participate in.
He thought about retreating, but he felt that it was unseemly to be intimidated by Chu Qingxiao's few words.
"If...if what you said is true, then you have to go to the Sword Hall with me and let me identify your true identity..."
"If Elder Chen has this ability, of course he can. But how are you going to prove that I am or am not Chu Qingxiao?" Chu Qingxiao interrupted Chen Huanjuan and asked in a deep voice.
Chen Huanjuan's heart pounded, and he stood awkwardly for a moment. How to prove the truth of what Chu Qingxiao said was obviously not something he could do. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why.
"What Mr. Chu said is indeed unbelievable, but in my opinion, it is just a family opinion." At the moment when Chen Huanjuan was riding a tiger and was in trouble, Xu Ran, who had been silent on the side, led his disciples to the crowd again.
"Even if Miss Rui testifies for you, there is no guarantee that she was deceived by you, and Zhao Nianshuang is still in seclusion, and cannot distinguish the true from the false. Mr. Chu has no other evidence. Elder Chen will take you back for interrogation. It’s a reasonable thing.”
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he also turned to look at Xu Ran.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, from the very beginning, I wanted to remind City Lord Xu of something."
Xu Ran also narrowed his eyes and asked, "I would like to hear the details."
"City Lord Xu seems to be a little ignorant." Chu Qingxiao said.
"What's the explanation?" Xu Ran asked again.
"I am the designated successor of Song Guicheng, the 78th generation swordsman of Xizhou Sword Armor, and now the 79th generation swordsman of Jianyue City!"
"According to the rules of Jianyue City, the position of the sword leader is higher than that of the city lord. City Lord Xu meets me..."
"Kneel down!"
