Gongsun Du's question made everyone turn to look at Su Xin.
The eyes of Ji Xuanyuan and those who were familiar with the inside story flickered. They all knew about the grudge between Su Xin and Han Jiangli.
Ji Xuanyuan, who was familiar with Su Xin's character, had even specially asked Pang Yuande to act together with Su Xin and Han Jiangli. He was afraid that Su Xin would kill Han Jiangli in a fit of rage.
Ji Xuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that Su Xin had been restraining himself throughout the journey.
Although everyone knew about Su Xin's crazy reputation, he was not a real lunatic after all. He would still consider the overall situation.
Although Han Jiangli was killed later, it was the work of the Golden Horde Kingdom. It had nothing to do with Su Xin.
Ji Xuanyuan and the others did not mention the idea of Su Xin colluding with the Golden Horde Kingdom because it was simply impossible.
No matter how greedy and foolish Su Xin was, he would not give up the foundation of the Zhou Kingdom to collude with the Golden Horde Kingdom.
In other words, if Su Xin really colluded with the Golden Horde Kingdom, would he be able to bring Mogo's head here today?
Therefore, Ji Xuanyuan and the others did not delve into Han Jiangli's death. Moreover, the war was about to break out at that time, and Ji Xuanyuan and the others did not have time to investigate this kind of thing. However, after hearing Gongsun Du's words, they wondered if Su Xin was involved in this matter.
Su Xin looked at Gongsun Du and said indifferently, "What do you want me to explain? Han Jiangli was killed by the Golden Horde Kingdom. Don't tell me you want me to give up on forming an alliance to deal with the Golden Horde Kingdom, then investigate the cause of Han Jiangli's death and take revenge? This is simply absurd! "
Gongsun Du smiled and said, "I didn't say that. It's just that Han Jiangli is only a member of the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom after all. He's a martial arts grandmaster at the Yang Spirit Realm. There has to be an explanation for his death, right?
Back in the Golden Horde Kingdom, there were only seven warriors in the Yang Spirit Realm in the Central Plains. One of them was killed by Di Jingfei before the war started, leaving six. However, when Han Jiangli died, these people did not move. So, who killed Han Jiangli? "
Su Xin sneered and said, "Consecrator Gongsun's information is very complete. He even knows the movements of the Yang God Realm warriors in the Golden Horde Kingdom."
The things in Gongsun Du's hands were not rare. Even if the Golden Horde Kingdom attacked the Central Plains, they did not have an intelligence system. It was very easy for the secret agents of the Six Doors to find out their whereabouts.
However, what surprised Su Xin was how did Gongsun Du get this information from the Six Doors?
Su Xin secretly glanced at Tie Zhan. At this time, Tie Zhan was also frowning, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Obviously, Tie Zhan did not know about this matter. Someone in the Six Doors had given the information to Gongsun Du behind his back in order to target Su Xin!
However, it was a pity that this matter could not be investigated at all, because this information was not secret. Even some of the lowest level secret agents of the Six Doors had it in their hands.
Moreover, although Su Xin was one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors, he had offended many people. There were more than one or two people in the Six Doors who had enmity with him. There was no way to investigate this matter at all.
Gongsun Du looked at Su Xin and said in a deep voice, "Lord Su, you don't have to worry about where the information came from, but can you explain this to us now?"
"Explain? What explanation do you want? "
Su Xin sneered and said, "I am not related to Han Jiangli in any way. Do I have to be by his side to protect him all the time? Why are you asking me for an explanation when something happened to Han Jiangli? What kind of logic is this? "
Although Su Xin said so, those who understood the grudges between Su Xin and Han Jiangli still looked at Su Xin with some changes in their eyes.
Han Jiangli had just become enemies with Han Jiangli, and in the end, Han Jiangli died so inexplicably. Although he was killed by the people of the Golden Horde Kingdom in name, no one saw it. Moreover, there was evidence to prove that when Han Jiangli died, the Yang God Realm warriors of the Golden Horde Kingdom did not make a move. This was worth pondering.
The most important thing was that even if the Yang God Realm warriors of the Golden Horde Kingdom made a move, it would be impossible to kill Han Jiangli if there were less than three of them.
Although Han Jiangli was used to courting death for others, it was precisely because of this that his life-saving ability was extraordinary, not to mention his combat power. You could defeat him in a one-on-one fight, but you would never be able to kill him.
At that time, other than three or more Yang God Realm warriors of the Golden Horde Kingdom, the only one who had the ability to kill Han Jiangli was Su Xin.
After all, he could even kill Mo Ge, so Han Jiangli was nothing in front of him.
Gongsun Du laughed and said, "I am just declining. Lord Su, don't be agitated. There will definitely be an explanation for this matter in the end. However, there is no evidence for the time being, so let's forget about it."
Although Gongsun Du said that he would forget about it, everyone knew that Su Xin would be blamed for killing his colleague.
Although Gongsun Du had no evidence to prove that Su Xin had killed Han Jiangli, Su Xin also had no evidence to prove that he did not kill Han Jiangli.
Anyway, under the circumstances at that time, the only person who had the motive and ability to kill Han Jiangli was Su Xin.
Everyone looked at Ji Xuanyuan. Should they still reward Su Xin?
After all, Han Jiangli was a warrior of the Yang God Realm. Normally, if he died, he would die. However, now that the matter had been exposed by Gongsun Du, Su Xin was very suspicious. If they rewarded Su Xin at this time, would it make people think that the imperial court was biased towards Su Xin and was unfair?
Therefore, Ji Xuanyuan coughed and said, "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. We will talk about the reward later. The imperial court will naturally send someone to investigate Han Jiangli, but I believe that Lord Su will never do such a thing."
Ji Xuanyuan's choice was very simple, and that was to put everything aside for the time being.
Originally, he was worried about Su Xin's reward. It would not be good if it was too heavy, but it would not be good if it was too light either. Now, it was time to postpone it. Of course, the date was not certain.
As for what he said about investigating Han Jiangli, it was just a perfunctory thing.
Han Jiangli had been dead for so long, and his body had been disposed of. Moreover, the warriors of the Golden Horde Kingdom in the Yang God Realm had either escaped or died. How could they investigate? It would be fine if this matter was settled just like that.
Gongsun Du said in a low voice, "Your Highness is right. Then let's do as Your Highness says."
Su Xin looked at this scene coldly and sneered in his heart.
He finally understood Gongsun Du's intentions. It turned out that the other party just wanted to ruin his reward.
Although Han Jiangli was indeed killed by Su Xin, Su Xin thought that he had done it flawlessly. The other party could suspect him, but they could not find any evidence.
However, some things did not need evidence, such as now.
As long as the other party voiced out their suspicions and speculations, they could naturally ruin Su Xin's reward this time.
Of course, the most important thing was still Ji Xuanyuan's attitude.
This time, Gongsun Du suddenly stood out to target him. Ji Xuanyuan should not have known about it, but he did not stand out to oppose it. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and erased his reward. The attitude of Ji Xuanyuan, or rather, the Ji Royal Family, was obvious.
Su Xin knew that the Ji Royal Family was probably a little afraid of him.
The most important reason that the Zhou Kingdom could be stronger than the State Jin was balance.
The power of the Emperor was limited, and the power of the four major forces was also limited. It was precisely because of this that they could achieve balance.
However, Su Xin had suddenly emerged as a new force, and his current power was about to break this balance.
Su Xin's speed of growth was somewhat beyond the expectations of Ji Xuanyuan and the others. Moreover, he had a good relationship with the Six Fan School and the military. In this way, if Su Xin took advantage of the situation, he could even borrow nearly half of the power of the Zhou Kingdom.
Of course, this was all secondary. The most important thing was that Su Xin was too independent.
The military and the Six Fan School were the most powerful forces than Su Xin, but the problem was that the Shadow Guard under him only recognized him and not the imperial court. The entire Northwest Army also followed Su Xin's lead.
It could be said that now if Su Xin was confident that he could make the Great Snow Mountain, the holy land of martial arts in the northwest, stand on his side, Su Xin even had the qualifications to be independent. This kind of power also made the Ji Royal Family afraid.
They did not forget how the State Jin fell. The most important point was that the military was too strong, causing the imperial family to be afraid. In the end, they killed indiscriminately, causing internal friction in the State Jin, and finally, the State Jin fell.
This kind of thing was absolutely not allowed to happen in the Zhou Kingdom, so Ji Xuanyuan's attitude toward Su Xin had changed quietly. Even Ji Xuanyuan himself was not aware of these changes.
When Su Xin was in the Divine Transformation Realm and the Harmonious God Realm, Ji Xuanyuan regarded Su Xin as the rising star of the Zhou Kingdom. Moreover, he regarded Su Xin as the best of the best.
Therefore, at that time, he cultivated Su Xin at all costs. At that time, Su Xin was the benchmark of the Zhou Kingdom, used to prove to the people of the Jianghu that the talents cultivated by the Zhou Kingdom were definitely not inferior to those in the Jianghu.
However, since Su Xin had been promoted to the Yang God Realm, Ji Xuanyuan felt that Su Xin's strength had improved a little too quickly. It was so fast that he could not control it. From then on, the cultivation became vigilance and fear.
However, Su Xin was still an important minister of the Zhou Kingdom. Although he was a little crazy, at least he was of great use to the Zhou Kingdom. Just like now, Su Xin's existence had brought a lot of benefits to the Zhou Kingdom. At the same time, the Zhou Kingdom had to try to limit Su Xin's power and not let him continue to grow.
At this moment, Ji Xuanyuan thought that the matter had come to an end. He coughed and said, "Since that's the case, everyone can disperse first. We'll gather again during the celebratory banquet tonight."
Just as everyone was about to leave, Su Xin suddenly stood up and said, "Wait! Your Highness, things haven't been cleared up yet, so you can't just leave like this. I can't bear the crime of killing a colleague. "
