Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 579: Secret Talk in Pine and Bamboo Garden (2)

The two were silent for a while, and Chu Xiaomu said: "The Red Soldiers have been wreaking havoc in our Cangmu country for almost a year. Anyone with a bit of blood in their veins should be irreconcilable with them. Resist and kill the enemy, and never show mercy!"

Xuanying nodded, and suddenly said viciously: "The people of the Keti tribe still broke into Jinyang City!"

Chu Xiaomu thought that the Golden Sword Sect had colluded with the Chisha people, so they could pass through Jieyun Pass and Shikong Bridge with such brazenness. The mastermind behind this should be the Golden Sword and the Black Sword!

But he didn't dare to say it out loud, for he was afraid that Xuanying's emotions would get out of control after he said it out loud. Because border defense was the business of the Golden Sword Sect, which was founded by Xuanying's master, Golden Sword and Black Sword, and Xuanying was the sword disciple of Golden Sword and Black Sword.

He sighed and said, "The only solution now is to intensify the investigation and arrest all the Sha people who sneaked into the city."

Xuanying paused for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Xiaomu steadily, and said, "Xiaomu, I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"What do you think of Jin Li'er?"

Xuanying had tried to ask him this question not long ago, but Chu Xiaomu just answered perfunctorily.

Unexpectedly, Xuanying asked this question again. He suddenly remembered rolling around with Jin Lier on the grass slope outside the city, and his face turned red.

This naturally did not escape Xuanying's eyes. His originally gentle eyes immediately turned cold when facing outsiders, like a sharp and cold knife.

Chu Xiaomu thought about it carefully, and then said: "Jin Li'er has not opened the force nor practiced martial arts. She is not a man, but she has the heroic spirit that only men have, which is very impressive. Moreover, she is very clever. So many capable people in Yunying Palace are all under her control. This is not something that can be achieved with martial arts and spiritual power alone."

After a pause, he continued, "Although the young lady has some small thoughts, during the days I have been in contact with her, I know that she sincerely wants to unite with the other six major cities to fight against the Red Soldiers, save the Cangmu Kingdom, and save the people. She has really put a lot of effort into this matter."

Xuanying nodded slightly, and then said: "What about my master's golden sword and black sword?"

This made it even harder for Chu Xiaomu to answer. The Golden Blade and Black Sword's Force had already passed the sixth realm, and he was famous in the Cangmu Country. He was truly a rare genius. Chu Xiaomu had heard his name at least eighty times, but had never seen him.

Although Chu Xiaomu was not familiar with the Golden Blade and Black Sword, he had suffered a lot from his disciple Pang Shisan, who was not only rude but also vicious. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Before he had seen the Golden Blade and Black Sword, he did not have a good impression of him.

Nearly two months ago, when General Biye and Yanzhua were fighting in a battle near a sparsely forested thatched house in the Bicheng Army camp on the west bank of the Kun River, a masked man suddenly appeared and attacked the general. The man's original force martial arts were very rare, so Chu Xiaomu guessed that he was Jindao Heijian. Unfortunately, he escaped when he tried to remove the black cloth covering his face, so there was no evidence.

But there is no doubt that this person is from the Golden Sword Sect. It can be seen that the people of the Golden Sword Sect are scheming and their methods are mean and sinister, and they can never be considered a legitimate sect. And Golden Sword Black Sword is the leader of the Golden Sword Sect, and if the entire sect is like this, then he must not be a good person either.

But on second thought, Xuan Ying also had a hand in killing Pang Shisan. According to his personality, he couldn't have kept it to himself without telling anyone. Besides, many slaves saw the killing, and the Golden Sword Sect could have investigated it thoroughly. Therefore, it was impossible for the Golden Sword and Black Sword Sect to not know that Pang Shisan was killed by Xuan Ying.

If that is the case, why did the Golden Blade and Black Sword accept Xuanying as their disciple, not only teaching him martial arts, but also choosing him as their sword and saber disciple, and even letting him hold the power of a general that can control the four great golden officers? This is really hard to understand.

Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to say, "I don't know your master very well, so I don't know what kind of person he is."

Xuanying nodded slightly and said, "Master often acts in unexpected ways, which is indeed very difficult to understand."

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but ask: "Xuanying, what is your intention in asking me this?"

Xuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Mu, do you know how I became the general of Jinyang City?"

Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said "I don't know".

Xuanying said: "It's very simple, it's just the result of the power struggle between Jin Lier and the Jin family and my master."

Chu Xiaomu was shocked: "Is it the result of the fight between the Jin family and your master? They seem to be very friendly, how can I explain this?"

"Jinyang City is the richest among the seven cities of Cangmu Country, but its military strength is slightly insufficient. This situation has been going on for a long time and it is not something that happened overnight. Since Jin Huapeng became the city lord, he has not been involved in government affairs every day. The three major case halls of the ancestral temple, the scripture hall, and the affairs hall have been handed over to a few chief managers. It was not until his two sons and one daughter grew up that the Jin family took over again."

"The recruitment of soldiers and the duties of city defense were jointly managed by several generals. My master could only control them and not interfere. Jin Huapeng was very relieved about this. Later, the power of the Golden Sword Sect increased greatly, and my master eliminated the generals one by one, and designated three ranks of gold, silver and bronze. Three of the four gold ranks were held by his three disciples. From then on, the military affairs of the Jinyang Army were actually controlled by my master alone."

Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "I have a general understanding of this. The Jin family is in charge of civil affairs and money, and your master is in charge of military affairs. With both sides doing their respective duties, Jinyang City is relatively stable."

Xuanying continued, "However, since Jin Lier became an adult at the age of seventeen, these things have slowly changed..."

Chu Xiaomu thought that Jin Lier was sensible and had a heroic spirit, and had the ability to be a general. She naturally did not want the power of her Jin family to be controlled by an outsider for a long time, which could be guessed from her issuing a "proclamation seeking talents" in various cities of Cangmu Country and later establishing Yunying Palace.

As expected, Xuanying said, "Jin Li'er's Yunying Palace was established by her to counter the Jindao Sect. Although she has many talented people under her, in the eyes of my master, they are not worth mentioning at all. When I first arrived in Jinyang City, she even invited me to Yunying Palace."

"You didn't join?" Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but ask.
