Su Xiaorong said, "Present the facts and reason. Looking at Yan Li's actions, everything he does has its own meaning behind it. What does he gain by killing Lei Yan? Right now, he had fame, strength, and influence, but he didn't have a backer. He needed the Sword Court to recognize his identity again. Only then could Swallow Dock have a firm foothold. In the future, he could take back two cities from the Devil Race and wash away the suspicion that he was a spy of the Devil Race. Killing Lei Yan, even without Xu Longxiang's whistleblowing, he would still be the biggest suspect. Before we return to the Immortal Realm, my judgment is that he would not do such a thing. Cangjian Peak is not a decision that any one of us can make alone. Let's vote, the minority obeys the majority. "
"I object." Lu Fengxin said, "No matter what, Cangjian Peak does not have the capital or the need to take this risk."
Cao Zigu said angrily, "Lu Fengxin, how can you be so cold-blooded? Elder Xiao Rong has already presented the facts, can't you be a little more reasonable? Junior apprentice-brother Yan has suffered in the Evil Prison for six years, and now we have abandoned him. Will he feel good if he finds out? "
"Let's vote, don't say these useless things," Lu Fengxin said impatiently.
"Hmph, of course I agree!" Cao Zigu said angrily.
"I agree," Huang Chengyan said.
"I, I also agree!" Luo Fangshuo said.
Cao Zijun looked at his son, then at the other two young faces, and sighed, "I object …"
"Father!" Cao Zigu looked at his father in disbelief.
"Zi Gu, Elder Lu is right, Cangjian Peak does not have the capital to be willful …" Cao Zijun turned his head away, not daring to look at his son.
"It's fine, senior apprentice-brother, we still have Elder Xiao Rong," Luo Fangshuo reminded.
Cao Zigu seemed to wake up from a dream, and smiled, "Yes, at least we still have a reasonable elder. You two old geezers, the longer you live, the more gutless you become. You are a disgrace to us juniors!"
"I object," Su Xiao Rong said.
The smile on Cao Zigu's face froze. "Elder Xiao Rong, didn't you say to present the facts and reason? Why did you object? "The three young men looked at Su Xiaorong in astonishment.
Su Xiaorong said indifferently, "Usually, I don't care about Yan Li's character. I only care if he makes mistakes. At that moment, the survival of Cangjian Peak was more important than anything else. Be it laws or human relationships, they all had to give way to it. I made the analysis, so my suggestion didn't go through. It's not that we let Yan Li die because we think he's the murderer, but the survival of Cangjian Peak is more important than Yan Li's life. "
Huang Chengyan said, "Disciple acknowledges Elder Xiao Rong's rationality. However, it's three versus three now. You can't say that you didn't pass, right? "
Lu Feng said in her heart, "We three elders can't suppress you three stinky brats?"
Luo Fangshuo suddenly said, "Abu, and Abu. Abu is also a member of Cangjian Peak. He has the right to vote."
"Good job, Little Fatty!" Cao Zigu's eyes lit up. He quickly pulled Abu over. "Good Abu. You vote too. If you agree, put your wings on the table."
Abu let out a "woof woof" and put his wings up.
"Abu, you're the best!" Cao Zigu was overjoyed. "See? See? Abu will not work with you old bastards! Now, let's discuss the details. "
Lu Fengxin thought helplessly. Her godson probably didn't know anything about the rules. He only knew how to charge. "Wait." She suddenly said.
She glanced at Fat Cat and ran over to pick it up. "Shuang Shuang hasn't voted yet. What's the rush?" She said to Fat Cat. "Shuang Shuang, you have the same right as Abu. If you agree, call out. If you don't, you don't have to say anything."
Shuang Shuang looked lazy. Let alone call out, he didn't even bat an eyelid.
"Too, too despicable!" Luo Fangshuo was furious. But when Lu Fengxin glared at him, he calmed down. Lu Fengxin said proudly, "What do you think? Are you convinced now?"
Cao Zigu stomped his feet. Just as he was about to bring Abu out, an old voice came from outside the door. "I agree."
Everyone was stunned. They looked over and saw an old yellow dog walking in slowly.
"Senior Old Yellow!" Cao Zigu exclaimed. He immediately rushed over and hugged the dog's head. "You're finally back. I missed you so much!" He patted Old Yellow's head.
Old Yellow squinted his eyes and scolded him. "You brat. You call me senior when you need my help. I don't see you sharing a bone with me!"
Cao Zigu kissed the dog's head. "I'll give you a bone every day!"
Lu Fengxin couldn't help but say, "Senior Old Yellow, why did you agree to such a ridiculous suggestion? Don't you know the situation Cangjian Peak is in? "
Old Yellow sneered. "A bunch of idiots! For the sake of Yan Li, you've already lost Su Xiaojian. You're already on the gambling table. Why don't you take this chance and wait to be nibbled away bit by bit? " As he said this, his murky eyes gradually revealed some gentleness. "You've all done well these years. Now that I'm back, you youngsters should just fight and fight. As long as I'm here, Cangjian Peak is here. Even if I'm locked up for eight to ten years, I'll still hand over the complete Cangjian Peak to you when I come out. "
They finally decided that Luo Fangshuo would ride Abu to the Lower Bound. The others would be responsible for covering for him.
Wu Qijue didn't expect that someone would really come to the Lower Bound to snitch on them. When Abu carried Luo Fangshuo out of Wenhong Ferry, they had to stop their pursuit.
"Three elders, it's fine if the youngsters are messing around. But why are you doing this?" Wu Qi looked at the row of "captives" in front of him. He was really angry. If they were external enemies, he could just kill them. But they were all from the same sect. He couldn't bear to kill them.
"I lost the vote. What can I do?" Lu Fengxin was also very angry.
"Go, inform Master Yang … and also tell Eldest Senior Brother that someone has already gone to the Lower Bound to inform Yan Li. Tell them to set off immediately!" Wu Qi sighed deeply. But he still had to do what he had to do.
The people of Cangjian Peak were quickly taken away by the Law Enforcement Court. Without a doubt, they were all locked up in the Sword Dungeon.
In the Law Enforcement Court, Yang Qiusheng and his son Wang Langtai walked side by side. After so many years, Wang Langtai had been promoted from a second-class deacon to a supervisor. In the entire Law Enforcement Court, he was only below the Master. He had considerable power.
Wang Langtai still had a square face. He had a mustache on his upper lip. When he walked with his father, he would always deliberately walk half a step behind to show his humility. "Father, how do you think we should deal with the people of Cangjian Peak?"
Yang Qiusheng smiled and said, "It depends on the result of Feng Jiu's trip to the Lower Bound."
Wang Langtai said, "What if Yan Li escapes?"
"Asking such a question means that you haven't seen the essence of the matter."
"Please, Father.
Teach me. "
"This is the battle between us and Feng Jiu, and between Heavenly Sword Peak and Cangjian Peak."
"I can understand that we are with Feng Jiu. But Cangjian Peak is not even as good as a small sect now. How can they fight against Heavenly Sword Peak?"
"Do you know why Junior Brother Shanhai chose to give up Su Xiaojian?"
"Why?"
"Because if Cangjian Peak is in Su Xiaojian's hands, it is possible for him to become the leader of the Court Of Sword again. When Guan Shanhai was young, he was very ambitious and energetic. He thought that he would never grow old. Your grandmaster, the former president of the Sword Holding Association, chose him as the successor. But the change of ownership of the Nine Heavens Thunder made him doubt himself. People like him are actually very pitiful. He has been confident and arrogant for most of his life. Suddenly, he suffered such a severe blow. Plus, the insidious Wenren Weiyang said to him, 'After so many years, my wound still hurts'. Didn't she mean that Su Xiaojian would surpass him sooner or later? This is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. This is why he still can't walk out of it. Now, Yan Li and Su Xiaojian's roles are the same. Do you understand now? "
"I understand."
"That old dragon has returned from the Bodhi Temple. It can see more clearly than anyone else. As long as it is here, no one can take away the position of Cangjian Peak. This is the confidence."
"If Yan Li comes back alive and clears the injustice, the people of Cangjian Peak will naturally be innocent. If Yan Li dies, the people of Cangjian Peak can be punished, but not heavily. At most, they will be locked up for eight to ten years. This branch will not be exterminated. Is that what you mean, Father? "
"You are promising. However, the most likely outcome is that Feng Jiu didn't kill Yan Li, and Yan Li couldn't clear the injustice. This is the best outcome we have been waiting for for many years. "
"I understand. Chang Maochun and Xu Longxiang will be driven to desperate action. They will expose the secret of Feng Jiu that they have been unwilling to reveal to us. Now that the Supreme Leader is trapped by his inner demon, he is no longer a concern. As long as we remove Feng Jiu's qualification as the successor and take away the sacred instrument, the Sword Holding Association will be able to enter the Court Of Sword."
"You are promising."
…
Luo Dalong came to the underground storeroom where Du Ziqi was locked up. He explained the progress of the situation to the two Yuan Chen guards and said, "Both of you go back and take a rest. Then help prepare for Senior Brother Lei's funeral. I will guard here."
"Then I will leave it to you, Dalong." The two Yuan Chen did not suspect anything and waved their hands as they left. Luo Dalong waited for them to leave before he cupped his fists towards Du Ziqi and said, "I am really sorry. No matter what the reason is, the Court Of Sword should not detain a disciple of the Lotus Seat. Please forgive Senior Brother Xu's rudeness. I will let you out now." As he spoke, he opened the door.
Du Ziqi walked out suspiciously. "You are really letting me go?"
Luo Dalong said, "I only hope that Miss Ziqi can understand and not complain to Mountain Master Xiao, so as to avoid a dispute between the Confucian orthodoxy. I am very grateful." As he spoke, he stepped aside.
Du Ziqi took a few steps outside. Seeing that Luo Dalong really did not stop her, she heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Luo Dalong say, "Miss Ziqi, if you are free, can you come and play again? I'll take you to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains to see the scenery … "Her footsteps paused and she turned her head to look. She saw that this big and burly man was currently bashful and his rough face was a little red. She couldn't help but let out a 'pu chi' laugh. "I knew you did not have any good intentions!"
Luo Dalong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I definitely do not have any intention of blackmailing you. Miss Ziqi can feel free to reject …"
"I am free." Du Ziqi snorted lightly and left with large strides.
