Chapter 13: There's got to be a saying

"+1 for the number of sword swings, the current cumulative number of sword swings is 10,000."

"Swing the sword a total of 10,000 times, and you have obtained [Tiangang Nine Swords]!"

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on Xu Lan's face, he completed his 10,000th sword swing at the same time!

"As I expected, the reward will trigger ten times after the 100th time."

A trace of tiredness flashed in Xu Lan's eyes, and he found that his arm was already numb to the point of not feeling anything.

"Tiangang Nine Swords, consume your own true qi to swing out nine swords, each sword is twice as powerful as the previous sword!"

In an instant, he obtained all the information about the [Tiangang Nine Swords] from his mind, and its effect was far beyond Xu Lan's imagination.

"The second sword is twice as powerful, the third sword is four times as powerful, the fourth sword is eight times as powerful, and the fifth sword is sixteen times as powerful..."

Xu Lan's heart was filled with a little wave, he had never heard of such a terrifying sword technique.

Judging from the description alone, the power of this set of swordsmanship is extremely amazing, but I don't know how many swords I can cast with the true qi in my body at the moment.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?"

As Xu Lan stopped swinging his sword, Qingluan and Hongluan on the side woke up instantly.

The two of them also didn't sleep all night, just watching Xu Lan practice his sword all night.

"It's okay, I just want to practice my sword."

Xu Lan didn't explain too much, but asked, "Help me get a basin of hot water." ”

"Okay."

Qingluan turned to leave, and returned with a basin of hot water and a towel in a few moments.

"Whew..."

Xu Lan directly put his arm into a basin full of hot water, and an indescribable feeling of refreshment instantly rushed to the Tianling Gai.

"Childe, I'll help you."

Hongluan said softly, then picked up a towel and soaked it in hot water and carefully wiped Xu Lan's arms back and forth, while Qingluan brought another towel to Xu Lan to carefully wipe his upper body.

"Hasn't Miss Chen come back yet?"

Xu Lan asked softly, a whole night has passed, and Chen Ci has not come back yet.

"Not yet."

Qingluan shook his head,

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was a statement that had not returned all night.

At this time, Chen Ci was also tired, and when he saw Xu Lan, he was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Xu Lan to wake up so early.

"You killed someone?"

When Chen Ci approached, Xu Lan's nose moved slightly, and he smelled a faint smell of blood on Chen Ci's body.

"Hmm."

Chen Ci did not deny it but directly admitted: "Last night, together with the yamen, they searched all night, and finally found that group of people in a ruined temple outside the city. ”

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci like this and didn't speak, she was lying to herself.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ci was stared at by Xu Lan like this, and he was a little weak-hearted, and secretly said in his heart, could there be a flaw in what he said?

"You're not fit to lie."

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci and shook his head and said, "You don't dare to look into other people's eyes when you lie, this is not okay." ”

Speech: ......

For a moment, speechless.

"In fact, you and I both know who the real murderer is, and those people in Qingzhou Yamen also know."

Xu Lan said slowly: "But the prefect of Qingzhou is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and he doesn't want to make a big deal and affect his career..."

"In addition, the murderer also has a certain background, so the yamen side is also ready to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things, right?"

Chen Ci was silent for a few seconds, but finally nodded.

Xu Lan is indeed not wrong, not only the Qingzhou prefect but even other officials in the entire Qingzhou officialdom are unwilling to cause trouble at this moment.

Otherwise, when it was their turn to return to Beijing to report on their work half a month later, they would not be able to report to the imperial court.

It is also because of this that Chen Ci acted alone, and according to some existing clues, he traced to a ruined temple outside the city and saw the group of extremely vicious people.

She killed everyone directly,

Because she knew that this incident was caused by her, and at the same time, this was what she could do for Xu Lan.

"You're thinking too simply."

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci in front of him and felt like laughing, but in the end he didn't laugh.

"You shouldn't know that the group of people who died in your hands should be some homeless people or even fugitives who have already been convicted."

Xu Lan said slowly: "You can kill them once, but the mastermind behind the scenes can invite another group of the same people to come over and make trouble, what should you do then?" ”

"What if you can kill the second, third, or fourth time?"

"They know they can't afford to mess with the people of the Hanging Mirror Division, so they'll just point the finger at me."

Xu Lan said lightly: "Unless I am willing to bow my head, this matter will not end." ”

"You... How do you know I'm from the Hanging Mirror Division? ”

Chen Ci's eyes were a little flustered, it was impossible, he obviously didn't tell Xu Lan that he was a person from the Hanging Mirror Division.

"Meng."

Xu Lan smiled slightly,

Chen Ci was silent again, and she found that Xu Lan was even smarter than she imagined.

"When did you start getting suspicious?"

Chen Ci couldn't figure out what was wrong, and it stands to reason that Xu Lan couldn't know that he was a person from the Hanging Mirror Division.

"From the time you said you were a cultivator of the Three Realms..."

Xu Lan smiled dumbly,

"You don't think it's normal for a person who is less than twenty years old to be an ordinary catcher in Qingzhou, right?"

"But I've never said anything about the Hanging Mirror Division..."

"So I'm blind."

Speech: ......

"I'm sorry, but I caused this."

Chen Ci had a hint of guilt in his voice, if he hadn't been impulsive in the restaurant yesterday, he wouldn't have had anything to do next.

"So you won't stop me, will you?"

Xu Lan's arm clenched slightly, and found that the soreness and numbness in his arm had eased a lot.

"What do you want?"

Chen Ci showed a stunned look, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"There must be an explanation for this."

Xu Lan put on his shirt again with the help of Qingluan and Hongluan, put the sword in his hand into his waist and smiled: "You can't let me suffer, right?" ”

"You..."

Chen Ci suddenly realized that Xu Lan wanted to rely on his own means to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

"I waited here for the night, and it's a pity that the yamen let me down."

Xu Lan moved his neck slightly, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I can only deal with this matter in my own way." ”

Qian Shaojun knew that the person who cut off his dirty hands came from the Hanging Mirror Division, and he didn't dare to attack any anger in his heart, so he could only regard himself as the object of revenge.

But he's different,

Qian Shaojun moved his own people, then he should find Qian Shaojun.

"Don't be impulsive, everything is negotiable."

Chen Ci was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "Acting recklessly will only bring you endless trouble. ”

"So don't you just think about all the consequences before you do it?"

Xu Lan raised his head and smiled: "I'm not a fool like Qian Shaojun..."
