Chapter 33

At the side, Ling Wen had already walked up.

She stood at the side of the throne.

She was dressed in black and did not smile. She held a booklet and said, "Emperor, there are a few divine officials patrolling the outer realm.

They could not return. "

Jun Wu nodded slightly.

He said, "They have already reported in advance."

Ling Wen bowed her head in acknowledgment. Jun Wu turned to Xie Lian.

He said, "Xian Le must also know that I summoned you today.

Why did you summon me today? "

Xie Lian still bowed his head.

He said, "I can roughly guess. However, I think the matter of Little General Pei has

Already been decided. "

At this moment,

A man's voice said, "I'm afraid it's still hard to say how this matter should be decided."

This voice came from behind him.

When it entered his ears, Xie Lian turned around.

He saw a martial god step in from outside the hall, holding a sword as he walked.

He walked towards the front of the hall.

When he passed by him, he stopped and curled the corners of his mouth.

He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's an honor to meet you."

This martial god looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He had a graceful bearing, but his actions were very decisive. Looking at his face, he was more handsome than the god statue Xie Lian had seen at Mount Yu Jun. He was the kind of handsome that could easily win the favor of women. At first glance, he was a romantic character. Before Xie Lian could answer, he said, "Our family's Little Pei is really indebted to you for taking care of him."

Xie Lian silently thought, "This time, I've really offended this person." He said, "No, no. General Pei is the one who has been looking forward to meeting you. "

This sentence was true. These days, Xie Lian compared the scrolls and read the legends of some famous divine officials. Among them, the main one was this General Mingguang, Pei Ming.

Although this Martial God of the North had outstanding military exploits, what people liked to talk about the most were the good and bad legends he left behind in the Fireworks Lane. The good legends were about throwing away a thousand gold to save a prostitute and pledging her body to him. From then on, she was infatuated with him and kept her body like jade. The bad legends were about riding a horse for a thousand miles in a night and climbing over walls with a married woman. To a certain extent, it was also very powerful. After reading it, Xie Lian felt that it was unreasonable for this person to only provoke Xuan Ji after so many years.

Because of his success both in the field of battle and in the field of love, many of his rivals and colleagues were fond of cursing him to die, or better yet to die of a venereal disease. But this man's life is hard, and though he has passed through a thousand flowers, he does not fall ill; and not only will he not die, he will live longer than you. In the end, they finally suffered a defeat. Everyone thought to themselves, "Hahahaha!" You're going to die this time! Unexpectedly, rumble, rumble, at this critical moment, he ascended.

This time, even the opponents who were not killed by him were angered to death.

After ascending, Pei Ming did not change his style. The stage for hunting for erotic legends was greatly expanded. From fairies and female officials to demons and ghosts, as long as there was a bit of beauty, there was no one that he didn't dare to touch. However, what he liked the most was still the beauties of the mortal world. Many erotic novels loved to write with him as the protagonist. If Xie Lian's path of cultivation did not require a pure heart and few desires, he might have gotten a few out of curiosity to read. Therefore, in addition to the title of the Northern Martial God, the common people often worshipped him as the god of men's romantic luck. Even many Heavenly Officials who met him in the Heavenly Court, brushed shoulders with him, and walked past him. They would also secretly turn their heads and worship him, wanting to get some of his romantic luck. It had to be said that although there were subtle similarities, he was much luckier than Feng Xin, who had innocently obtained the title of "Giant Sun".

All the Heavenly Officials were well aware of what these two people's "long awaited" were, and secretly held their bellies. After being polite, Xie Lian asked, "What does General Pei mean by 'it's not easy to say'?"

Pei Ming snapped his fingers, and a suspended corpse suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall.

Strictly speaking, it was an empty shell lying down. This human figure did not have a primordial spirit, and its insides were completely empty. In addition, it was dripping with blood from head to toe, so it was no different from a corpse. Looking at the face again, both eyes were tightly shut, and the facial features were clean and handsome. It was Ah Zhao. Or rather, it was Little General Pei's doppelganger.

In the Divine Martial Hall, such a thing suddenly appeared in the middle of all the Heavenly Officials. The scene was slightly shocking. In a moment, Pei Su was also brought up. Although his body was shackled, he still had an indifferent appearance. He lowered his head and did not speak. Xie Lian asked, "What does General Pei mean by this?"

Pei Su knelt in the Divine Martial Hall. Pei Ming said, "During the interrogation of Little Pei, he mentioned something that I thought was very strange."

He walked a small circle around Xie Lian and said, "I am very clear about Little Pei's ability. Although his doppelganger's strength is far inferior to his own, it's not particularly bad. He can still fight 'Xiong' to a draw. However, he unexpectedly told me that there was a person who beat him to the point where he didn't have the strength to fight back. Isn't this very strange? "

Pei Ming continued, "So I continued to ask. Originally, at that time, at Half Moon Pass, His Highness Xian Le Crown Prince was following a red-clothed youth."

When they heard the two words "red-clothed", some of the Heavenly Officials' expressions began to become unnatural. Following that, Pei Ming directly turned their unnatural expressions into unsteady ones. "And this youth, in the darkness, in an instant, slaughtered hundreds of Half Moon Pass soldiers who were about to turn into Xiong!

"— May I ask Your Highness Crown Prince, who exactly is this red-clothed youth?"

If it wasn't 'Xiong', then it was' Jue '! Moreover … … it was a red-clothed Jue who could instantly kill hundreds of Xiong.

Anyone could guess who this youth was most likely to be. However, no one wanted to take the initiative to say that name. Xie Lian glanced at the silent Pei Su and hypocritically said, "Cough, is that so? This, I really don't remember. At that time, there was a group of merchants who also fell into Half Moon Pass. We only interacted with each other for a few days. Perhaps it was one of the merchants. "

Pei Ming said, "That's not right, Your Highness Crown Prince. I heard Little Pei's words. You and that youth were very close. It didn't seem like you only interacted with each other for a few days. How could you forget in the blink of an eye?"

Xie Lian thought, "No, you're wrong. I'm telling the truth. I really only interacted with each other for a few days. "

His expression was still as calm as ever. At this time, not far away, a white-clothed Taoist leisurely waved his snow-white horsetail whisk and said, "General Pei, what you said is just Little General Pei's side of the story. Little General Pei is guilty and is currently under house arrest. He will soon be exiled. How much of his words can be trusted needs to be weighed."

Pei Ming said, "This will depend on whether General Nan Yang and General Xuan Zhen can come and help us."

Following his gaze, Xie Lian indeed found Feng Xin and Mu Qing in the southwest and southeast respectively.

Feng Xin was still the same as he remembered. He was always very tall and stood very straight. His gaze was firm and his eyebrows were always slightly furrowed, as if there was something that made him very impatient. In reality, he was not impatient. On the other hand, Mu Qing was somewhat different from what he remembered. Although his complexion was still fair and pale, his two thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were lowered, his whole body had a cold attitude that seemed to say, "I don't dare to flatter you." He stood with his arms crossed, the fingers of his right hand lightly tapping the elbow of his left hand. It was unknown whether he looked calm and composed, or more like he was calculating something.

Although these two people could be considered handsome men, each had their own prickly points. Hearing Pei Ming call out their names, they both looked at Jun Wu. Jun Wu slightly nodded. Only then did the two people slowly stand up.

This was the first time Xie Lian had met the two of them face to face since his third ascension. When they met, he only felt that the gazes that were cast in his direction were even crazier.

Craziness was unavoidable. It should be known that this Divine Martial Hall was the number one Divine Martial Hall. Those who were not Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Court had no qualifications to enter to discuss matters. When Crown Prince Xian Le first ascended, he appointed Feng Xin and Mu Qing as his generals. At that time, these two were low-level Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Court. They didn't even have the qualifications to enter and wipe the floor. But now, not only could these two little deputy generals stand openly in the Divine Martial Hall, their ranking was even higher than that of the previous Lord. It was true that the wheel of fortune changed. Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west.

The three people looked at each other in confusion for a while. They quickly pretended that nothing had happened and turned their faces away. No one could figure out what the other was thinking. However, Xie Lian more or less knew what Pei Ming wanted them to help with.

Sure enough, Pei Ming said, "General Nan Yang and General Xuan Zhen have both fought with Huacheng. Regarding that person's weapon, the two of them should have more authority."

He summoned Ah Zhao's empty shell so that everyone could examine the wound. Feng Xin and Mu Qing slowly came to the side of the floating empty shell. Xie Lian also moved a few steps and took a few glances. But because there was too much blood, a lot of it had condensed into black, so he couldn't see clearly. The two people looked at it with a serious expression for a while. They then raised their heads and glanced at each other. It seemed that no one wanted to speak first. Ling Wen said under Jun Wu, "Generals, what do you think?"

Feng Xin was the first to speak. He said in a low voice, "It's him."

Mu Qing said, "It's the Curved Blade Misfortune."

Among the Heavenly Officials of the Divine Martial Hall, probably only Xie Lian didn't know what these four words meant.

The Curved Blade Misfortune was the strange curved blade that Huacheng used to fight against the thirty-three Heavenly Officials in his dream. It was the one that scared the wits out of several Martial Gods and shattered their livers and guts!

In the Divine Martial Hall, the Heavenly Officials began to whisper in twos and threes. They looked at Xie Lian with strange eyes. Pei Ming said, "Many thanks to the two generals for confirming this point. Then my guess is correct. If the red-clothed youth traveling with His Highness the Crown Prince is really that person, then this matter will become complicated. "

The white-clothed Taoist from before said again, "General Pei, are you trying to say that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Ghost King Impasse are colluding to frame Little General Pei?"

This Taoist had spoken twice, and both times, he had stood by his side. Xie Lian couldn't help but take a look to see who exactly this strange Immortal was. He turned his head to look and saw that the Taoist had a pair of clear black and white eyes. He had a white jade belt, a horsetail whisk in the crook of his arm, a long sword on his back, and a folding fan at his waist. He looked elegant and elegant, in high spirits. Only, that face seemed vaguely familiar, but Xie Lian couldn't remember where he had seen such a fellow Taoist.

Pei Ming also glanced at the Taoist, as if he was a worrisome elder who didn't want to argue with a child. He shook his head and waved his hand, dispelling the floating Ah Zhao's empty shell. He then turned around and said, "It's not necessarily a collusion. It's just that that person is capable of covering the sky with one hand. It's unknown what kind of trick or trick he used to deceive His Highness the Crown Prince. "

What he meant was that he wanted to portray Hua Cheng as the mastermind behind the chaos at Ban Yue Pass. Xie Lian said, "General Pei, even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust Feng Shi daren. Feng Shi daren heard the entire process of little General Pei admitting his guilt. "

Pei Ming glanced at the white-clothed Taoist again. Xie Lian continued, "Moreover, right now, we are both in the Divine Martial Hall. You can ask Di Jun if there are any traces of deception on my body."

Jun Wu, who was sitting in the front seat, had a calm expression. This meant that there was no problem with Xie Lian's body. Xie Lian continued, "These are two separate matters. Let's not talk about whether or not the youth who was traveling with me was from Hua Cheng. Even if we take ten thousand steps back and say that he was from Hua Cheng, this has nothing to do with what little General Pei did. Although the Ghost King of Impasse's notoriety has spread far and wide, not everything can be pinned on his head. "

He calmly said that name, causing the several Heavenly Officials in the hall to immediately feel a chill run down their backs. Pei Ming said, "No matter what, this Pei believes that this matter needs to be discussed again. It's best that the Ban Yue State Preceptor that His Highness the Crown Prince took away can also be handed over for interrogation. "

Interrogate what? Confess under torture? Before Xie Lian could reply, another person spoke up. Pei Su didn't seem to want to stay in the Divine Martial Hall any longer. He said softly, "General, forget it."

Pei Ming said, "What?"

Pei Su said, "There was no deception. It was my doing. I have disappointed you."

Pei Ming was just about to forgive him, but he ended up doing this himself. His expression turned cold as he said, "What kind of bewitching potion did the Ban Yue State Preceptor give you? Shut up. "

Pei Su raised his head and said, "Forget it, General! Little Pei wouldn't dare to not admit what he did. Since he was caught, he isn't afraid of any consequences. "

Pei Ming's face was full of shock. "You were so sensible before, why did you suddenly act up today?" He was about to kick him awake when Jun Wu said, "Alright."

When he spoke, Pei Ming retracted his leg and bowed. Jun Wu said, "The Ban Yue State Preceptor's matter is over. Take Little Pei away and exile him within a few days. "

After a moment of silence, Pei Ming said, "Yes."

Xie Lian was relieved when he heard him say, "But the wound on this empty shell was left by the scimitar misfortune."

Jun Wu said, "En. That's another matter. "

Pei Ming said, "Please investigate thoroughly."

Jun Wu said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Everyone can rest assured. Let's disperse for today. Xian Le, you stay. "

It seemed that he wanted Xie Lian to stay and personally investigate thoroughly. All the Heavenly Officials had nothing to say. They bowed and said, "Yes."

Since they had dispersed, the people in the hall walked out in twos and threes. Feng Xin glanced at him as he passed by and wanted to say something. Xie Lian smiled at him. Feng Xin was startled, but he still walked away. Mu Qing walked without looking at him, as if he didn't exist. She still insisted on walking in front of him.

The white-clothed Taoist walked over with his horsetail whisk and a smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Pei Ming, who had just lost, walked over with one hand on his sword and the other touching his nose. He helplessly said, "Qing Xuan, for your brother's sake, can you stop making trouble?"

The white-clothed Taoist's smile disappeared and he said, "General Pei, don't use my brother to pressure me. I'm not afraid of him. "

"You … …" Pei Ming seemed to be so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he pointed at him and said, "You, ah you, Little Pei has been ruined by you this time. Two hundred years of exile. "

The white-clothed Taoist madly swung his horsetail whisk and said, "That's what Little Pei did. It has nothing to do with me!" As if he didn't want to continue talking with Pei Ming, he quickly ran away. Xie Lian was originally wondering if Pei Ming would stay behind to mock him, but he didn't do so. He also left on his own accord. In such a large Divine Martial Hall, other than Jun Wu and Xie Lian, there was only one person left in the hall. It was the Crown Prince of Yong 'an, Lang Qianqiu. Xie Lian found it strange. Why did he stay? When he walked up to take a look, this person actually had his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep while standing.

Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that this was really amazing. He lightly patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince?"

Only then did Lang Qianqiu suddenly wake up and ask, "What's wrong?!"

Xie Lian said, "Nothing. The meeting is over."

Lang Qianqiu had just woken up and was still dizzy. He blankly asked, "It's over? What was said just now?? I didn't hear anything ah? "

Xie Lian said, "It's fine if you didn't hear anything. It wasn't anything important. Let's go, let's go back. "

Lang Qianqiu said, "Oh!" With that, he left. Before he stepped out of the hall, he turned back to look at Xie Lian with a puzzled expression. Then, he put on a smile and said to Xie Lian, "Thank you for waking me up."

Xie Lian beamed and waved his hand at him. Once everyone had left, he slowly turned around. Jun Wu also walked down from his throne with his hands behind his back. He walked in front of Xie Lian and said, "Blood Rain Exploring Flowers, Curved Blade Misfortune."

Xie Lian was like a cat that had been lifted by the back of its neck. He couldn't help but straighten his body.

Jun Wu asked again, "So, in the end, what happened?"

Xie Lian glanced at him and suddenly knelt down.

Before his knees touched the ground, Jun Wu reached out and grabbed his elbow, not letting him kneel down. He sighed and said, "Xian Le."

Xie Lian straightened up again and bowed his head. "I'm sorry."

Jun Wu looked at him and asked, "Does this count as you admitting your mistake?"

Xie Lian said, "I know my mistake."

"Then‌ ‌why‌ ‌don't‌ ‌you‌ ‌tell‌ ‌me‌ ‌what‌ ‌the‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌is?"‌ ‌Jun‌ ‌Wu‌ ‌questioned.‌‌

‌
