In the past twenty days, Xu Qing had used countless reasons to convince himself, but he couldn't help but think about another ending.

So he has always understood that once he gets out, the catastrophe that awaits him will be roughly divided into three possibilities.

The first possibility is that he was killed by thunder after appearing. Although this possibility exists, it is not very common.

After all, everyone is focused on it. Although I oppose it, my opposition is not an act of rebellion.

So there is a second possibility, which is to be convicted and imprisoned, and life and death will depend on other people's thoughts from now on.

As for the third possibility, everything goes well, but there will be huge hidden dangers later on, leading to boundless catastrophe.

Of course, the premise is that he fails.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Qing walked out, he said the words "The Emperor's heart is boundless" to resolve the first possibility. As for the appearance and protection of the deputy palace master and others later, he did not expect it.

This allowed him to pass the first stage smoothly, and then he passed the second stage from the moment he told the sword-bearing palace master's last order, took out the jade slip to prove it, and went to report it.

Even though this matter has been concluded before, Xu Qing's words are not to overturn the previous conclusion, nor to protect Yao Hou, but to add more suspense so that the humans in Fenghai County can learn more specific details.

Although the people's support of the county magistrate is strong, he cannot compare with the old county governor.

And the Palace Master's illustrious achievements are not simply forgotten in everyone's memory.

Xu Qing used words to move these two mountains out, and in conjunction with his status as a great emperor, he gained the opportunity to speak at this moment.

In the former case, it is the common customs of the county that are shaken.

In the latter, the one who was shaken was Fenghai Zhixiu who participated in the war.

This is also the reason why Jun Cheng finally looked at Xu Qing deeply, as if he recognized him again.

Because, if Xu Qing's previous words showed any trace of protecting Yao Hou or overturning his previous conclusions, he could suppress them in an instant.

At this moment, the world was silent.

In the opportunity created by himself, in the midst of all the attention, with the crown of luck gathering above his head, Xu Qing stood in the air and took a deep breath.

He understood that every word he said at this moment was very important, and there could be no mistakes. Once he said the wrong word, he would be doomed.

So he was silent for several breaths, stared at Jun Cheng, and spoke in a deep voice.

"In April of this year, the old county guard died mysteriously, and the Shenglan tribe invaded simultaneously. The eight-hundred-year peace of Fenghai County was thus broken. The Heitian tribe invaded the human royal domain and blocked the new county guard and reinforcements sent, causing Fenghai County to

Isolated and helpless, the weather is precarious, and people are in panic."

"The master of the Palace of the Sword Holding Palace was ordered to protect Fenghai County with the Palace of the Sword Holding Palace as the county guard."

"In the same month, as an accompanying messenger, I accompanied the palace master to handle the official war report. At the end of April, Fenghai County's front line was in emergency. The palace master commanded the Fenghai County army. In order to protect the Fenghai human race, he fulfilled his oath to hold the sword and went there in person.

On the front line, at that time, I was the one wearing armor for the palace master."

Xu Qing's voice echoed in all directions. These words were not meaningless. He wanted to evoke the memories of hundreds of thousands of people here. He wanted the common people in the county capital to recall the scene half a year ago.

Let them know who was protecting all of this at that time.

"Before leaving, the Palace Master did not ask me to accompany him. Instead, he used a substitute to cover up and asked me to secretly go to Chaoxia Prefecture to investigate the cause of the old governor's death."

"The palace master suspects that the cause of the old governor's death is from a pill called Shangguang Life Tribulation. This pill has been famous since ancient times and can be traced back to history. Its principle of action is to detonate people who gather their luck. The stronger the luck, the more lethal it will be.

big."

"The old county guard gathered the luck of sealing the sea. His death is consistent with the appearance of the poison of Shangguang's fate."

"As for why the palace master thought of the Shangguang Ming Jie Dan, it is recorded in the Nineteenth Volume of the Secret Words of the Sword Palace. I don't know if this volume is still there, but even if it is not there, before the death of the governor, the sword palace had a task to handle.

Anzi of the Shenglan tribe obtained an empty wish box, and many people participated, which is proof."

"But to use the Shangguang Mingjie Pill, one condition needs to be met, that is, a morning glow. Maybe there is one in the outside world, but there is also one in Fenghai County's Zhaoxia Prefecture, so the palace master asked me to go and investigate whether there is an unrecorded morning glow.

Light."

"Everything I said is clearly recorded on this jade slip!"

"After that, I followed the palace master's order and went to Chaoxia Prefecture to resolve the crisis at the Sword-holding Court in Chaoxia Prefecture. The results of the investigation there were found. The Chaoxia Prefecture Sword-holding Court can be used as evidence for this matter. The traces along the way can be used as evidence. I also have jade.

The simple photos can also prove it. As for the result, there was indeed a morning glow in Zhaoxia Prefecture a few years ago, but it was not recorded."

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, Kong Xianglong flew into the sky and spoke loudly.

"I participated in the matter of handling Anzi. I can prove that the nineteen volumes of secret words and the empty wish box exist, and the contents are exactly the same as what Xu Qing said!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the altar took in their breaths, and the entire county was shaken.

The Seventh Prince's eyes were introverted, while the Commander's face was expressionless.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and continued to speak.

"I reported all this to the palace master. In the same month, the palace master died in battle. I continued to investigate secretly."

When Xu Qing said this, the county magistrate sighed softly.

"Brother Liang Xiu, you and I thought about it together."

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

The county magistrate moved his eyes away from Xu Qing and looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops, with some sadness in his voice.

"What Xu Qing said is also what I have in mind. I have read the nineteen volumes of secret words."

"Actually, from the beginning to the end, not only Brother Liangxiu was investigating, I was also investigating in secret. But this matter is so big that I have always been a little doubtful. The county governor is so powerful, who could do it without him knowing it?

Just poison him?"

"This matter is related to the cause of death of the county governor. The county governor is not only my colleague, but also a close friend, and a hero of Fenghai County. I hope the cause of his death is accurate. Only in this way can we truly avenge him!"

"Until the war came to an end, I finally had some results and announced all this. However, what Xu Qing said makes sense. The human race in Fenghai County should be allowed to know the truth."

After Jun Cheng finished speaking, he raised his right hand and waved, and suddenly a chessboard appeared in mid-air.

There is an unfinished chess game on this chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces on it are in the middle of a fight.

"This is the county guard's chessboard. In addition to the county guard, those who play chess on weekdays include me, brother Liang Xiu and Yao Tianyan."

"Only the four of us have touched the chessboard."

The county prime minister recalled, sighed softly, turned around and cupped his fists towards the seventh prince.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, just as we discovered the secret of poisoning that day, use the blood of the emperor to reveal your destiny."

The seventh prince had no expression on his face. After taking a look at Jun Cheng, he raised his hand and bit the tip of his finger. A drop of red blood fell from the fingertip and flew towards the chessboard.

That drop of blood contained an astonishing power of blood, causing the bodies of all races to shake. The next moment, this drop of blood fell on the chessboard.

Immediately, the chessboard seemed to have been lifted open, and bursts of black energy emitted from it. If you look closely, you can see that the source of this black energy comes from the chess pieces.

"This black energy is the poison of the Shangguang Life Tribulation. We can't see or feel it, and the same goes for the county guard. Only the bloodline of the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor who has unified Wanggu Continent can have the power to reveal it.

.”

"The person who poisoned me is using this chessboard."

As soon as the Jun Cheng's words came out, there was a sensation in all directions.

The authenticity of this scene is extremely strong.

But Jun Cheng was bitter at this moment, glanced at the world with nostalgia, and spoke softly.

"Actually, I, the county magistrate, originally planned to serve Fenghai County for the last time after taking over as the county governor. I would spend the rest of my life cultivating a successor, Li Yunshan, from the deputy palace masters of the Three Palaces.

You are my first choice."

After saying that, Jun Cheng raised his hand and pressed it on the drop of blood that had not dissipated from the chessboard prince. Immediately, the blood spread rapidly along his fingers. Wherever he passed, thick black Qi suddenly came from Jun Cheng's body.

Revealed.

After the blood energy was completely swept away, the governor standing there was filled with black energy, and black lines could be seen on his skin. His appearance... was very similar to the illusory scene before the governor's death.

"Because, I was also poisoned."

"I have touched the chess pieces on that chessboard, more than once. During the previous war, I have been insisting on it."

"Xu Qing, when you came to see me once, didn't you also see how tired I was? I knew that this poison could not be cured by medicine, so I told my servants at that time that I would not take medicine."

"The governor has fallen, brother Liangxiu has fallen, and I won't live long. Only Yao Tianyan escaped. Who is the murderer?"

The county magistrate smiled bitterly.

His words echoed, and the black energy on his body was revealed, like thousands of thunders, exploding under the altar, exploding in the county, and roaring everything.

Countless people were moved by it.

Even Xu Qing was stirred up in his mind. His original firm belief was slightly shaken at this moment.

"Xu Qing, you are a good boy. What happened today proves that you indeed have a great heart and virtue. Very good, very good." Jun Cheng spoke softly, with a gentle look on his face.

"Then now, with your overwhelming heart, do you agree that I will become the county governor and protect you from now on?"

Xu Qing was silent.

This sentence sounded benevolent to everyone. Only the Seventh Prince on the side felt a little more wary of the county magistrate when he heard it.

Because he understands that this is to... kill his heart!

So what if you, the emperor, have such a heart?
To be continued...
