After leaving Mr. Meng's residence, Chu Qingxiao was unusually silent along the way.
Xu Yixiu followed Chu Qingxiao fearfully. Since leaving Mr. Meng's residence, the young city lord has been equally silent, and his face is a bit ugly. He carefully observed Chu Qingxiao's face from time to time along the way, as if he was wary of these things.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know what Xu Yixiu was thinking. He just kept thinking about the news he got from Mr. Meng in his mind.
He never imagined that Tianxuan Mountain would be so heartbroken and crazy.
He refined Molten Fire Powder, added extremely addictive ingredients to it, and then sold it to Daxia's military.
This is simply asking for death!
It’s no wonder that Prince Wu’s Mansion is determined to eradicate Tianxuan Mountain.
In this way, Tianxuan Mountain may really be doomed this time.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but stop and look at the crowded street in front of him.
These ordinary residents of Tianxuan City have not enjoyed any of the benefits brought by the rise of Tianxuan Mountain, and have even been deceived and exploited by Tianxuan Mountain in various ways.
Most of the residents of Tianxuan City are outer disciples of Tianxuan Mountain.
In order to enter the inner gate, they need to practice hard and earn money in exchange for various pills and techniques required for practice.
Just like Chu Qingxiao and the others when they first arrived in Tianxuan City, the best way for these people is to go to Qinghuan Mansion to accept various tasks and earn spiritual iron jade.
As a currency equivalent to silver, Lingtie Jade has been widely circulated in Tianxuan City and more than a hundred surrounding towns over the years.
And once Tianxuan Mountain falls, the spiritual iron jade in their hands will become a piece of scrap without exception, worthless.
Many people will be left destitute as a result.
This alone may affect millions of people.
Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. He could only sigh, but he was unable to change anything.
He withdrew his gaze and was about to take another step.
boom.
Suddenly there was a muffled sound behind him.
Chu Qingxiao was a little confused. He looked back and saw that Xu Yixiu was sitting on the ground, looking at her with a pale face.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help.
But when Xu Yixiu saw this, her body trembled and she actually took a few steps back.
Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but look weird when he saw her like this. Miss Xu had been very vicious to him before. She was extremely rude to him whether she was doing things or talking to him.
Why are you so afraid of him today?
"Miss Xu? What's wrong with you?" Chu Qingxiao asked, and as he spoke, he handed the hand forward to help the other person up.
"You...you...what are you going to do? Do you want to kill people and silence them?" Xu Yixiu reacted fiercely. She asked in a trembling voice. At the same time, she looked at the crowded street behind Chu Qingxiao and said again.
"I...I'm telling you, there are a lot of people here. If I yell, you won't be able to eat. You'll have to walk around..."
Chu Qingxiao was confused after hearing this. He blinked and asked strangely: "Why should I kill you to silence you?"
Xu Yixiu also blinked: "You and that masked man talked about so many things that I shouldn't have heard, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and sell him to Tianxuan Mountain?"
Xu Yixiu has been restless ever since she heard the conversation between Chu Qingxiao and Mr. Meng.
She once thought that Chu Qingxiao had brought her here and communicated those "close secrets" with Mr. Meng without hesitation. This was probably because he had no intention of keeping her alive from the beginning.
After all, no matter what the two of them talked about, any one of them was earth-shattering, not to mention the evil things done by the army and Tianxuan Mountain that could bring about the disaster of annihilation.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and finally realized what Miss Xu was afraid of.
He remained speechless. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Xu, you are worrying too much. You are from my Tianxuan Department. I brought you to see Mr. Meng because I trust you. Since I trust you, why should I worry? Do you know too much?"
When Xu Yixiu heard this, she immediately sneered: "Chu Qingxiao! Stop pretending there. It's just you and me here now, so stop pretending."
"Will you trust me? I am the young city lord of Jianyue City. I came to your command to take back the Dragon Seal that belongs to Jianyue City!"
Chu Qingxiao had a wry smile on his face. He looked at the girl in front of him who was determined to die. He thought about it seriously and then said, "Okay, let me put it another way."
"I'm sure that no matter what your purpose is, you will definitely not tell anyone in Tianxuan Mountain what you heard today."
"Why?" Xu Yixiu's eyes widened and she asked in confusion.
Chu Qingxiao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Because Jianyue City is from Prince Wu's Mansion, and the people who want to overthrow Tianxuan Mountain are also from Prince Wu's Mansion."
"If you tell Tianxuan Mountain about this, Prince Wu's Mansion will immediately look for trouble in Jianyuecheng. You know better than me what situation Jianyuecheng is in now. Without Prince Wu's Mansion, for Jianyuecheng, it will be... It’s a catastrophe.”
"So, what do I have to worry about?"
As soon as Chu Qingxiao said these words, Xu Yixiu suddenly trembled. Only then did she realize that she had thought of things too simply.
She looked up at Chu Qingxiao, and suddenly felt that the guy in front of her not only had strength that she could not understand, but his character and character were far beyond hers.
She couldn't imagine how a boy who should be about her age could have all these things at the same time.
Seeing Xu Yixiu's appearance, Chu Qingxiao knew that his words had convinced the other party. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Can we go home now? It's getting late."
Chu Qingxiao said, looking up at the darkening sky, and reminded him again: "Don't forget, the courtyard gate at home is still waiting for you to repair it."
Xu Yixiu came to her senses and followed Chu Qingxiao's pace, but she still had doubts in her heart.
She chased after him and asked: "Since you are also with Prince Wu's Mansion, and you still have some evidence, why don't you take this opportunity to show off..."
In the previous conversation between Chu Qingxiao and Mr. Meng, Xu Yixiu could clearly feel that Chu Qingxiao did not seem to be so enthusiastic about this matter, and showed faint concerns and even resistance.
This makes no sense.
Chu Qingxiao, the Chief Commander of the Tianxunsi Division, was only able to take the position because of the Supervision of Tiansi Division, but the real power was given by the palace.
Like Jianyue City, Prince Wu's Mansion is a very important supporter for Chu Qingxiao.
Xu Yixiu knew very well how much effort her father put into trying to please Prince Wu's Mansion and get its support, but Chu Qingxiao seemed unwilling to seize this opportunity, which was hard for Xu Yixiu to understand.
Chu Qingxiao was silent for a while after hearing this question.
Then he turned to look at the people walking on the street, and said quietly: "Many people will die."
Xu Yixiu was stunned and turned to look at the street.
The night is getting darker.
On the street, there are people hurriedly returning home eager to go home, some chatting happily and smiling, there are children holding the hands of their elders and jumping around, and there are women nestling on the shoulders of their lovers, with eyes full of autumn.
There were vendors shouting loudly, and drinkers arguing with red faces.
It was a scene full of fireworks.
Xu Yixiu understood that Chu Qingxiao meant that if something happened to Tianxuan Mountain, these people would also suffer.
But she didn't understand the logic. She couldn't help but ask: "But it was the sacred peak of Tianxuan Mountain that made the mistake. Most of the residents of Tianxuan City have never been to the inner gate in their lives. Even if there is really something in Tianxuan Mountain, , what does it have to do with them?"
Chu Qingxiao explained: "When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?"
"These residents of Tianxuan City have lived here for many generations, and their family assets are tied to Tianxuan Mountain."
"Once Tianxuan Mountain falls, let alone many, will there still be so many outer disciples in Tianxuan City who are eager for the inner sect of Tianxuan Mountain?"
Xu Yixiu thought for a while, then shook her head: "Most of the residents in Tianxuan City are outer disciples who want to enter Tianxuan Mountain. Once something happens to Tianxuan Mountain, they will naturally fall to pieces and disperse."
Chu Qingxiao followed these words and said: "When a large number of outer disciples leave, not to mention too many, the prices in Tianxuan City will plummet, and the surrounding towns will be affected, and then a large number of people who rely on this to make a living will have no food and clothing. Landed."
"One move affects the whole body. Countless industries in the entire Southern Xinjiang are built around Tianxuan Mountain. Once something happens to Tianxuan Mountain, Southern Xinjiang will be in turmoil."
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Xu Yixiu seemed to understand. She thought about it again, and then asked: "Even if what you said is true, can't the court just punish the evil leaders and maintain the stability of Tianxuan Mountain? ? Instead of uprooting the entire Tianxuan Mountain?"
"Besides, in this hot summer, to put it bluntly, they are all King Wu's personal property."
"If there is really trouble in southern Xinjiang, isn't it also the matter of Prince Wu's Mansion? How can anyone shoot himself in the foot?"
There is some truth to Xu Yixiu's confusion.
Chu Qingxiao shook his head when he heard this and said: "Some things, once they start, will no longer be controlled by others."
"Tianxuan Mountain is such a big family, and the wealth accumulated over the years has already reached an astonishing level."
"There are countless people who are jealous of everything in Tianxuan Mountain."
"Once Prince Wu's Mansion touches Tianxuan Mountain, those who have been waiting for a long time will swarm in like vultures that have smelled the smell of carrion."
"They will be more enthusiastic than Prince Wu's Mansion to bring down Tianxuan Mountain, and then eat the flesh and blood that fell from this behemoth."
"Whether it is for Tianxuan Mountain or Prince Wu's Mansion, this matter is something that must be carried out to the end once the bow is drawn, and there is no turning back."
Having said this, Chu Qingxiao paused, then turned to look straight at Xu Yixiu, and said meaningfully: "There is never the best of both worlds in this world..."
"We are the same. Since we have become the lackeys of Prince Wu's Mansion, we can only be the executioners of this execution."
