Xue Qie came to the square as usual and found that the number of disciples gathered this time was several times more than usual, and almost everyone in Jiange was here.
Xue Qie found the sword cultivator in red, walked up to him, pointed at the scene, and was a little confused: "Senior brother, what's going on? Didn't we agree to take turns training, why are there so many people surrounding us today?"
Seeing Xue Qie coming, the sword cultivator in red explained to him: "This is the order given to us by Elder Mu yesterday. Yun Wuyue and Kong Douxuan have been convicted of traitors, so we are specially asked to come to the sword pavilion.
More than a thousand sword cultivators came to watch and took this as a warning."
Xue Qie still doesn't quite understand what his adoptive father did. Logically speaking, how long has it taken? Could he be a little too impatient?
It's easy for Elder Kong to say, but Yun Wuyue doesn't have any evidence? It's hard to believe that such arbitrary convictions and arrests will make people panic.
"I think there is something wrong with this. Did Elder Mu personally arrange this?" Xue Qie struggled for a moment, with doubts on his face.
After hearing this, the sword cultivator in red smiled and said, "Junior Brother Blood, don't worry about these two traitors. Now that everyone agrees with Elder Mu's arrangement, won't you feel sympathy for them?" As he said this, his eyes
He looked towards Yun Kong and the two who were tied to the ground.
Xueqie shook his head and sighed softly: "I don't question Elder Mu's move, I just feel that the timing is wrong and it is a bit too hasty."
Xue Qie squeezed forward along with the flow of people. The onlookers were crowded together, but when they saw Xue Qie, they all gave way to a narrow passage for him.
Many people ridiculed and insulted Yun Wuyue and Kong Douxuan for how they had fallen to this stage, and treated them coldly. But the two of them also had mixed emotions in their hearts. The glory of the past was no longer there, so how could they not be sad?
.
"I didn't expect that Elder Kong, who is so impartial and selfless on weekdays, would actually do such dirty things behind his back!"
"That's right! When he asked us brothers to guard Hidden Sword Peak, we should have expected that he was just guarding Hidden Sword Peak. Alas, we regret it!"
"Elder Kong and Elder Mu have been building the sword pavilion together for decades, but there has been no progress. This is all the result of Elder Kong working behind closed doors! Now that Elder Mu has opened the sword pavilion, we have a place for development. We should be even more grateful to Elder Mu!"
"Yes! Defeat Kong Douxuan! Defeat his supporter Yun Wuyue!"
"Everyone who organizes the development of Jiange should be spurned!"
Seeing that everyone's insults were getting louder and louder, Xue Qie waved his hand to directly interrupt everyone's subsequent obscenities, and walked towards Yun Wuyue, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
Now Yun Wuyue is unkempt, his clothes are ragged, and his body is still stained with some saliva that someone just sprayed on him. His eyes looking at Xue Qie are dull, and the innocent and lovely smile of the past is completely gone.
He knew that Yun Wuyue had always been closed-minded and taciturn. But now he sacrificed himself to stand up for Kong Douxuan. What was his purpose?
Xueqie didn't want his brothers to fall out with each other, but he still ended up in this irreparable situation.
Yun Wuyue saw the sad look on Xuechie's face, but he grinned to himself. Xuechie was startled, tears flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "Why... why did you do this."
Yun Wuyue didn't speak, but only smiled more exaggeratedly, opening his mouth wide, but his voice was very unpleasant.
"Wuyue, I don't know why you are doing this. But your body can't bear the damage. If you admit your mistake quickly, I will let them let you go." Xueqie couldn't bear to see Yun Wuyue being tortured like this.
Hold him in your arms and teach him.
Yun Wuyue pushed Xuechie away and broke away from the warm embrace. He couldn't stop shaking his head at Xuechie, and slowly squeezed out three words from his throat: "No! No! Can!"
As soon as these three words came out, low and clear, they instantly rekindled the accumulated anger of many people.
"Look! Brother Xue, why don't you talk nonsense with him? Give him the same treatment as Elder Kong, and gradually he will become honest!"
"You are so stubborn, I really misjudged Senior Brother Yun!"
"Why?" Xueqie continued to protect Yun Wuyue, preventing the people surrounding him from harming him. He just didn't understand why Yun Wuyue was so persistent.
The sword cultivator in red also came to Yun Wuyue at this time and shouted angrily: "Traitor Yun Wuyue, you actually dare to do misery to your fellow disciples and confuse people's hearts. Come on, come forward and give him a hard time!"
"No!" Xue Qie immediately stepped forward to stop the influx of people.
"Senior Brother Xue, I know that you are kind and remember the old friendship between the same sect. If you can't do it, you have no choice but to let us come!" A tall sword cultivator said this and winked behind him.
Soon, four swordsmen rushed out and walked outside carrying the blood cutter.
As soon as the blood cut left, kicks and curses could be heard, and the whole scene was in chaos.
Xueqie was a little dissatisfied with this. As soon as he landed, he opened the four people's hands angrily, and the light in his eyes became a little sharper.
Seeing that he could not reason with these people, Xueqie left the square and went to find Mu Shanhai to debate the matter.
Ever since Mu Shanhai started arresting the traitors within Jiange, Qunying Hall has become his temporary working area. No one is allowed to enter, and others are only allowed to come in to see him at noon.
At noon, Xue Qie couldn't wait to be led by some people to the Hall of Heroes.
When he saw Xueqie, Mu Shanhai was not surprised at all. He just said lightly: "Xueqie, you are here."
Seeing Mu Shanhai calmly correcting the life summary written by his disciples, Xue Qie felt an inexplicable anger rising, but due to his status as foster father and elder, he still did not have an attack.
"Father, is it unfair for you to classify Yun Wuyue as a traitor?" Xue Qie gritted his teeth and asked the question in depth.
Seeing that Xueqie seemed to be a little aggrieved by Yun Wuyue, Mu Shanhai suddenly chuckled: "Xueqie, I am doing this for your own good."
"I told you at the beginning that Yun Wuyue will do anything for the sake of Kong Dou Xuan. In the face of the established facts, he still does not know his fault and openly challenges the authority of Jiange. He is so arrogant today.
, what kind of trouble will he cause in the future?"
Xueqie did not agree with Mu Shanhai's words and immediately retorted: "But Elder Mu, you can't do this. You know his physical condition. If he continues to mess around like this, it will be difficult for him to bear."
"I am paving the way for you." Mu Shanhai smiled sinisterly, "If you are reluctant to take action, I will do it for you. The position of the sword pavilion in the future will definitely be yours. I am clearing the way for you. You don't want to
You failed to live up to my expectations, blood cut!"
After saying that, Mu Shanhai sighed deeply to calm his bleeding emotions.
"But……!"
"Any more questions?"
Mu Shanhai saw Xue Qie's hesitant look and couldn't speak for a long time. He also understood what he was worried about.
"I know that you are afraid of causing the people within Jiange to fight each other and intensifying the conflicts. But I promise, as a father, that you will definitely grasp the balance and never cause a split!"
After hearing this, Xue Qie shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, adoptive father, this is not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is that if we join the royal capital, will we lose any of these thirteen states in the future?
If we don’t get the chance to get married, wouldn’t the auction be in vain?”
"Hahaha, Xueqie, you are thinking too much! Ever since our ancestors were besieged and suppressed by the Royal Capital five hundred years ago, we have long lost the chance to get married! Don't look at them as looking down on the Royal Capital. In fact, you let them
Do they dare to resist the royal capital? As far as I know, the major families at that time just ignored the ancestor's situation, otherwise the fate of the ancestor would not have been so tragic. They were just quick to talk,
Making allies like this is the most harmful thing."
"As for the auction having a negative effect? On the contrary, without the reason for the auction, how could we have the opportunity to turn to the side of the Royal Capital? Facts have proved that joining the Royal Capital is the most correct move, and resisting the Royal Capital is just
A dead end."
Mu Shanhai looked at Xue Qie, who was still full of sorrow, his eyes dimmed, he sighed, and stepped forward to hold Xue Qie's hand.
"Xue Qie, my father is more knowledgeable and thinks more than you. This time, just listen to my father. You will never make a mistake!"
Xuechie raised his head and saw the sincere look on Mu Shanhai's face, which made Xuechie at a loss. After a moment of silence, he had no choice but to nod.
