As soon as the words fell, the courtyard fell into silence.

After a long time, Da Xiuyi waved his hand and said, "You can go down first."

Xiu Yi, who was delivering the news, got the order and disappeared.

"It seems...Qian Xue's targeting of you is not entirely due to personal grudges..." Da Xiuyi sighed.

Jiangnan was noncommittal.

According to the information found by the Xiuyi Mansion, the forces in the Western Regions threatened Qian Xuelai's son and forced him to work for them.

Qian Shangshu's first task after being "forced to rebel" was to prevent Zhenxi King Jiangnan from going to the Jiangzhou fiefdom.

This is quite intriguing.

It is not to prevent Jiangnan from being crowned king, but to make it clear that Jiangnan cannot go to take control of Jiangzhou.

We can basically rule out the possibility that the Western Regions deliberately retaliated because Jiangnan offended Buddhism.

The problem may only lie in the newly carved territory of the Western Region...

Jiang Nan and Da Xiuyi looked at each other.

Everyone has guesses in their minds.

——The Jiangzhou fiefdom itself has big problems.

Otherwise, not only will the land be cut off, but Jiangnan will also be prevented from going there.

"Jiangnan, I need to report this to Your Majesty immediately." Da Xiuyi stood up and said.

Jiang Nan nodded.

This issue must be investigated clearly, otherwise the court will not be able to feel at ease.

The taking over of Jiangnan is also expected to be postponed.

Then, the figure of Da Xiuyi slowly faded and disappeared.

Jiang Nan also stood up, looked at the empty yard, and sighed softly.

When the shepherd broke through the seal and came to the world that day, Jiangnan immediately used the incense connection to let Keer and Qingluo escape to the Kingdom of God.

To this day, the two little guys still stay there most of the time.

Because Jiang Nan discovered that if Ke'er practiced magical powers in the Kingdom of God, the effects would be much better than in the outside world.

Therefore, he asked the little maid to stay in seclusion in the Kingdom of God for a period of time, and then come out after she had achieved some success.

Because of this, Luo Qiyuan is empty now.

Jiang Nan simply packed his bags and prepared to rush to Jianlu.

Before leaving, he wanted to say hello to Jian Xun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but the girl seemed to be still going through a catastrophe, so he had no choice but to give up.

So on this day, in the bright spring scenery, Jiangnan left the capital.

He was not in a hurry, so he did not use the magic technique of calling the wind.

Instead, he picked up a horse at the capital post station and ran along the official road.

At first, he didn't make any pretense, but he couldn't bear it. At the beginning of the year, the official road was bustling with businessmen and travelers.

Every time his identity is discovered, it causes a storm.

After all, for the people of Daxia, the young Shenwu Zhenxi King of Jiangnan has long been known to everyone.

Helpless, he had to change his appearance, which made him look much cleaner.

There were no twists and turns along the way, just half walking and half stopping.

When you are tired, you can find a teahouse to drink a pot of tea and listen to the merchants bragging about what they have seen and heard.

These merchants traveled to various places, and the news from their mouths was all about the world.

Of course, the authenticity of this is a matter of opinion.

Among countless exaggerated and bizarre rumors, Jiang Nan accidentally learned an unexpected piece of news.

——The young master of the Ministry of War and the princess of a neighboring country finally decided to get together after experiencing the unhappy separation of their last marriage proposal.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan burst into laughter.

It seems that Wang Chunyun will finally have to bear the pain and say goodbye to his career as a prodigal son.

I’m about to get married, and I’m still with my former partner...

As for the rest, there is nothing worth mentioning.

.

More than a month later, Youzhou, Xiushui City.

Among the crowds of pedestrians, Jiang Nan stepped into the city.

After more than a year apart, Xiu Shui is still the same as before.

There is no sword test this year, so most of the people in the city are ordinary people and there are no practitioners.

Jiang Nan stayed for a while, had lunch, and then rushed towards Jianlu.

We walked to a steep chain bridge.

At one end of the bridge, two swordsmen in gray clothes were carrying their swords, like tall and straight green pines.

Beside them is the way to Jianlu.

After crossing the bridge, Jiangnan returned to its original appearance.

When the two swordsmen saw this, they were shocked and immediately bowed and saluted.

One of them said: "Jiang Jianshou, I will inform the elders right away."

Jiang Nan waved his hand, "I don't need to trouble you to make a trip, I can go in myself."

Seeing what Jiang Nan said, the swordsman stopped talking and said: "Jiang Shou, the sect is currently holding a new year competition on the sword holding platform. The sword masters and elders are all there."

"Thank you very much." Jiang Nan handed over his hand and stepped into the sword house.

.

Sword holding platform.

Amidst the fierce mountain wind, countless Jianlu disciples gathered around the stage, bustling in droves.

On the sword-holding platform, two figures were fighting with long swords!

One of them is older, and his cultivation level should be at the sixth level. He is holding a black iron broad sword, and the sword light is flying like a river and sea. It is majestic, and it is like a mountain falling, and it is unparalleled in oppression!

But Jiang Nan was somewhat impressed by this man.

It was Wu Xun, one of the swordsmen who went to Tianyuan with him!

The other person is much younger, maybe only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his face is still a little immature.

But the cultivation level is also at the sixth level!

He holds an unprotected long sword in his hand, and his moves are incomparably stunning. Every sword move is astonishing. When a sword is struck, it seems as if there are all kinds of magic accompanying it, and he is like an emperor in the sword!

Jiangnan looked very interested.

This young man must have just joined Jianlu not long ago. At least he was not at Jianlu during the last sword test.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiangnan not to remember such an amazing person.

He merged into the crowd, looked at a swordsman next to him, and asked casually: "Junior brother, who is this young man?"

The swordsman frowned and was about to speak.

But when he saw Jiangnan's appearance, he was suddenly startled and was about to scream!

Jiang Nanlian made a silent gesture, and the swordsman calmed down a little, and whispered: "Jiang...Jiang Swordsman!"

After swallowing deeply, the swordsman explained to Jiang Nan, "This young man's name is Nan Huai. He is not a disciple of our sect, but a practicing swordsman."

"From what the elders said, he has unparalleled talent and a great opportunity to inherit the sword intention of an ancient sword emperor!"

"The great elder was so happy to see that he was hunting, so he wanted to take him into his family."

"But this young man is young and energetic, and he is not ashamed to say that if there is a younger generation in Jianlu who can defeat him, he will stay. If no one can defeat him, it will prove that Jianlu is no good."

Having said this, the swordsman sighed, "Just now, Senior Brother Jia Yu was defeated by his inherited sword power, and then Senior Brother Wu Xun also came on stage and was fighting with him."

Jiang Nan suddenly understood after hearing his explanation.

He had just been curious as to how this young man could comprehend the complete meaning of the sword at such a young age.

It turns out that it was created by chance and inherited.

As for the appearance in the stands, Wu Xun originally had the upper hand, but as soon as the young man's sword intention came out, Wu Xun was immediately unable to resist.

Finally, the young man named Nan Huai stabbed out with his sword, and the sword intent of the only emperor in heaven and earth burst out!

Wu Xun raised his sword to block, but was still knocked off the stage!
