It was inappropriate for Fang Jiuyuan to accuse Su Xin of colluding with the Celestial Court. In fact, at the beginning, Fang Jiuyuan had intended to accuse Su Xin of colluding with the Hades, or even that he was a member of the Hades.
Fang Jiuyuan had suspected this for a long time. He should have had this suspicion since Liu Fengwu was killed.
Because Liu Fengwu's death was a little strange. He was indeed killed by the people of the Underworld, but the problem was that the people of the Underworld had never provoked the people of the imperial court before. Both sides had always been peaceful.
Therefore, when the Hades attacked, it also shocked the imperial court. At the same time, it made the people of the imperial court furious. They directly listed the Hades as a threat level as the Celestial Court.
Six Fan School had sent so many people to escort the people of the Golden Horde Kingdom to the Zhou Kingdom. Why was Liu Fengwu the only one who died?
Fang Jiuyuan could not understand this. The only thing he knew was that Su Xin benefited the most from Liu Fengwu's death.
And this was only the first point of doubt. Last time, the Xuan Guan of the Shaolin Temple gathered so many people to kill Su Xin, but in the end, Su Xin found an expert to kill them. This person might also be a member of the Hades.
After all, apart from the Celestial Court and the Hades, there were not many places in Jianghu that could have such a powerful and mysterious warrior in the Yang God Realm.
However, now that he had heard what happened to Su Xin in the Ninefold Sword Pavilion, Fang Jiuyuan was also a little confused.
Because it seemed that Su Xin did not collude with the Hades. Instead, he was very close to the Celestial Court.
Moreover, it didn't make sense that Su Xin was a person of the Celestial Court. After all, it was the Celestial Court that suffered a loss outside Shengjing City last time. If Su Xin was a person of the Celestial Court, he would definitely be secretly on guard and use the power of the imperial court to snipe the Hades instead of letting the Celestial Court suffer a big loss.
Fang Jiuyuan's thoughts were a mess, but he did not continue to think about it.
Because everything he thought was just a guess, there was no proof.
After all, Su Xin was one of the Four Great Constables of the imperial court. No one would believe Fang Jiuyuan's claim that Su Xin was a member of the Celestial Court and the Hades.
Even if someone were to suspect Su Xin's identity in the future, Fang Jiuyuan would not be able to survive in the imperial court and Six Fan School.
Regardless of whether it was the imperial court or Six Fan School, they would not tolerate the existence of people who created rumors and sowed discord.
Therefore, Fang Jiuyuan gave up on publicizing this guess. Instead, he accused Su Xin of colluding with the Celestial Court in the Nine Sword Pavilion.
Moreover, this was not said by others, but by Su Xin himself. He could not blame others for this.
Everyone looked at Su Xin, wanting to see how Su Xin would explain.
The experts from the military and the imperial court all acted as if this matter had nothing to do with them. What could they say when the Six Fan School was stabbing each other in the back?
Ji Haodian's expression did not change. He looked at Su Xin and said, "Su Xin, what do you say about this?"
Su Xin took out the white jade tablet from his mustard seed bag and said, "This is the white jade tablet that I took from the Nine Sword Pavilion. It is a rare treasure that fell from the sky. The Real Martial Realm experts in the past relied on this item to live for 10,000 years."
"Bring it up!" Ji Haodian looked at the white jade tablet. His eyes were slightly red, and even his breathing became heavier.
Tang Xian immediately walked over and carefully held the white jade slate in his hand before handing it to Ji Haodian. However, before he could bring it to Ji Haodian, Ji Haodian snatched it away and stroked the white jade slate as if it was some precious treasure.
Unfortunately, even Yang God realm experts had not come up with any results when it came to studying the white jade tablet. Ji Haodian was an ordinary person, so it was useless no matter how much he looked at it.
In order to thoroughly study the secrets and origins of this white jade slab, at the very least, it would require a group of powerful martial artists to carefully study it. Only then would they be able to find some clues.
At this moment, everyone in the hall, including the Yang God realm warriors, had their eyes on the white jade tablet in Ji Haodian's hands.
After all, this thing was related to the mystery of longevity. Once the word longevity was involved, who could say that they would not be tempted?
However, Fang Jiuyuan's attention was not on the white jade tablet at this moment.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was focused on it. Who would care about Su Xin's collusion with the Celestial Court?
Therefore, Fang Jiuyuan hurriedly said, "Lord Su, what do you mean by this? Just now, His Majesty asked you to answer why you colluded with the Celestial Court in the Nine Sword Pavilion, but you took out this white jade tablet to divert attention. What are you trying to do? "
Su Xin turned to look at Fang Jiuyuan and revealed a cold smile. "Answer? This is my answer! "
Fang Jiuyuan frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Su Xin turned to look at Ji Haodian, cupped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I was the only one from the imperial court who entered the Nine Sword Pavilion this time.
The Celestial Court and the Hades are incomparably powerful. The White Lotus Sect has ulterior motives and has a deep hatred with my Zhou Kingdom.
The five sword sects have always rejected my Zhou Kingdom. If I did not join forces with the Celestial Court after entering, I'm afraid that I would lose my life before I even reach the central palace, let alone obtain this white jade tablet! "
Su Xin turned to Fang Jiuyuan. "Lord Fang, you have to speak with a conscience. I, Su Xin, do not think that I have done anything wrong to the imperial court or the Six Doors School.
I have just advanced to the Harmonious Deity Realm and cannot be compared to those who stand at the top of the pugilistic world. They can dig out the mystery of longevity by obtaining the white jade tablet, but what's the point of me going through so much trouble to obtain this white jade tablet?
However, I know that this white jade tablet is very important. The other powers all have one or two white jade tablets, so how can my imperial court not have one?
Moreover, this white jade tablet is related to the mystery of longevity. Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, so I want to offer this white jade tablet to Your Majesty so that Your Majesty can live for ten thousand years and lead my Zhou Kingdom to rebuild our dynasty and establish our glory for ten thousand years! "
Su Xin looked at Fang Jiuyuan with a cold gaze. "I, Su Xin, have always been thinking about the imperial court and Your Majesty. In Lord Fang's eyes, is what I did wrong? If I had known earlier, I would not have entered the central palace. I would have just reaped some benefits from the periphery and left. Isn't this what you want, Lord Fang? Hmm? "
Hearing Su Xin's words, everyone present was stunned. Then, they reacted and cheered Su Xin in their hearts.
In fact, Su Xin's seemingly righteous words did not explain why he wanted to cooperate with the Celestial Court. He only brought up His Majesty and the imperial court to prove that he had no selfish motives.
Now, he had obtained the most precious white jade tablet in the Nine Sword Pavilion. It contained the secret of longevity, but he did not keep it for himself. Instead, he gave it to Ji Haodian. Was this not enough?
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Su Xin was loyal enough. Everything he did was for the imperial court and His Majesty.
Just as Su Xin said, he had already done this much. What else did he want?
At the very least, if a Divine Transformation Realm warrior were to throw him into the Nine Sword Pavilion, it would be good if he could come out alive. How could he obtain such a treasure?
The people of the pugilistic world liked to use results to speak, and it was the same for the imperial court.
Loyalty was not something you could just say. At the very least, you had to show your actions, right? Otherwise, what was the point of the imperial court raising a bunch of loyal trash?
It was obvious that Su Xin's actions were more than enough to prove his point.
Ji Haodian did not have much time left to live, but Su Xin had given him a white jade tablet that was related to the secret of longevity. Was this not loyal enough?
Fang Jiuyuan looked at Su Xin in a daze, unable to say anything. It was not that he was out of words, but that Su Xin did not play by the rules. This made him unable to react for a moment.
However, when Fang Jiuyuan wanted to say something, Ji Haodian coughed and said, "Fang Jiuyuan, you don't have to say anything more. I know about this.
Su Xin was only thinking about the interests of the Zhou Kingdom. It was a stopgap measure, so there is no need to be so calculative. At a critical moment, not to mention joining forces with the Celestial Court, even if he joined forces with the White Lotus Sect, it would not matter. Anyway, the Zhou Kingdom did not suffer in the end. Let's just forget about this. "
Fang Jiuyuan's face suddenly turned pale. He knew that His Majesty was already somewhat disgusted with him.
Fang Jiuyuan had been in the Six Doors for decades, so he naturally knew Ji Haodian's way of doing things.
Just now, he had directly called Su Xin by his name, which meant that he was very satisfied with Su Xin.
And just now, Ji Haodian had called him "Beloved Minister". This was a normal form of address. When this was put together with the intimate way of addressing Su Xin by his name, there was naturally no need to say anything more. He had already made Ji Haodian feel disgusted.
Therefore, Fang Jiuyuan could only swallow the words he was about to say. He forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty is right. Lord Su is also thinking for the Zhou Kingdom. For Your Majesty's sake, I was a little too sensitive."
Tang Xian, who was standing beside Ji Haodian, looked at Fang Jiuyuan, who had admitted defeat, and Su Xin, who had a calm expression. He sighed inwardly. At the same time, he became wary.
Tang Xian had worked together with Su Xin before. However, at that time, Su Xin could not be compared to Tang Xian in terms of status or identity. Therefore, Tang Xian felt at ease working with him.
And now, Su Xin wasn't inferior to him in terms of both strength and authority. This made Tang Xian feel wary from the bottom of his heart.
Although Su Xin did not have any conflicts of interest with him for the time being and there was even a possibility of them working together, Tang Xian's suspicious nature made him very wary of Su Xin. If there really came a day when he came into conflict with Su Xin, would he be able to defeat him?
Tang Xian shook his head, temporarily throwing this thought out of his mind.
Tang Xian would be wary of people of the same level as him, but he would not easily make a move to trip Su Xin up. For example, back when Su Xin had been elected as one of the Four Great Super Constables, Tang Xian had dug a small trap for Su Xin by Ji Haodian's ear. However, Tang Xian did not dare to do so now.
The reason was very simple. With Su Xin's current strength and authority, he really could not afford to offend him. At the very least, without sufficient reason, Tang Xian would not take the initiative to provoke Su Xin.
