Chapter 390
After getting up, Xu Shan went straight to Miejue's study.
When he turned back, he had a brocade box embroidered with the Bagua diagram in his hand.
Song Yuanqiao, who was far away, saw this object and said in a low voice: "This is the key to my Wudang."
"Extinction, what else do you have to say?"
"We were not aware of this matter. It was Miezhen who acted on her own will. She was killed by your eldest son, wasn't she?"
As he said this, Miejue glared at Song Qingshu fiercely.
When they were about to start a fight, Xu Shan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, come with me!"
"Did Miezhen act alone, or did he have accomplices? The Jinyiwei will find out after the interrogation."
"Take them all away."
"Yes!"
When the people from Emei, accompanied by Taoist Wuqing, were paraded out of the camp, Song Yuanqiao took advantage of the opportunity to get close to Xu Shan.
"Xu, Master Xu, my son was reckless and accidentally killed Miezhen in a moment of conflict."
"Now that the key has been recovered, considering he's also eager for revenge, can you please show some mercy?"
Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled and tilted his head and said, "It's not that we can't talk!"
"Please explain clearly, Master Xu."
"Five [Taiqing Pills]."
"Master Xu, the Taiqing Pill is extremely demanding to refine. Now, the only thing left in Wudang is..."
"That's your business. You can refuse, but according to the Ming Dynasty law, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life! Otherwise, why don't you ask Master Zhang to come down the mountain and plead with the Heavenly Master?"
After saying this, Xu Shan strode out.
The moment Wu Jieyu handed the reins to Mr. Xu, the latter placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'll give you a new job. Whether you can do it or not, I'll give you a Taiqing Pill."
Hearing this, Wu Jieyu was extremely excited and quickly said, "Please give your orders, sir. I will do anything for you, even if it means death."
"In a few days, I'll release Song Qingshu. Keep a close eye on him!"
"clear."
After mounting his horse, Xu Shan sneered and muttered, "Are you trying to get to Prince Ning through Emei Mountain?"
"Song Qingshu, how long you can live depends on how big of a surprise you can bring me."
(1. I'm currently missing two characters: 'Little Bookworm Sixteen Years Old' and 'Old Chinese Medicine Health Preservation'. I don't dare add any more characters for fear of affecting the plot. I'll try to add them in the last few chapters!)
(2. I've laid several hidden lines, and it's almost time to close the net.)
Emei was captured and Ming Xue was beaten, which really caused an uproar in Tianhe and even in the capital!
Especially after all the sects learned that Elder Miezhen of Emei had stolen the key of Wudang and assassinated Mo Qixia during this period, the hot topic of this incident was pushed to a boiling point!
Wudang leader Song Yuanqiao immediately stated: Until the incident is thoroughly investigated, no Wudang disciple is allowed to have any contact with Emei.
Shaolin seconded the proposal, and several other sects that arrived earlier also spoke out.
Only those who had just arrived in the Immortal Emperor City chose to remain silent.
But this does not prevent Emei from becoming the target of public criticism.
"Sir, as per your instructions, all Emei disciples have been detained."
"But there's one thing I'm not clear on. Since they've arrested the person, why aren't they trying him?"
Hearing Wang Qinian's words, Xu Shan smiled and replied, "If you use force, you'll be forcing them to confess. If you don't use force, do you think they'll cooperate with you?"
"Leave it hanging."
"Ah? Sir, this..."
Before Wang Qinian could finish, Taoist Wu Qing beside him said with a smile: "Your master...is not interested in wine."
"Please explain clearly, Taoist priest."
"Jingxuan is wanted, and Miezhen is caught red-handed. Emei is now notorious!"
"The reason why Prince Ning's Mansion attached so much importance to the Emei Sect was because of its prestige as one of the six major sects in the Jianghu. This facilitated their own operations in Shu County."
"But what about now? He has become a bargaining chip for Master Xu to control Prince Ning's Mansion."
"If you were Prince Ning, what would you do?"
After he finished speaking, Taoist Wu Qing finished speaking, Wang Qinian's eyes lit up and he said, "The gecko cuts off its tail!"
"The more this matter becomes a hot topic, the more Prince Ning wants to cut the Gordian knot."
At this point, Taoist Wu Qing looked at Xu Shan with a smile and said, "Although I don't know what tricks you have in store, I know you want to kill someone with someone else's knife!"
Hearing this, Xu Shan quickly clasped his fists and said, "Great!"
