Chapter 3: The Newborn Giant
This is the secret of that year.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of entanglement had happened between Baili Suxue and that person back then, so that that person wanted to enter the Minshan Sword Sect but couldn't get it.
It's just that almost no one dares, and no one has the opportunity to ask Baili Suxue in person.
There have been many speculations in the cultivator's world about the entanglement between Baili Suxue and that person, and most of them feel that the most likely guess is that Baili Suxue actually fought against that person.
Because when that person was just famous in Changling, he was looking for powerful swordsmen to challenge, so that now Changling's challenge duels are all the rage, and even not fighting is considered to be extremely cowardly.
Most people speculated that that person had actually challenged Baili Suxue, and Baili Suxue was invincible and humiliated, so later that person wanted to enter the Minshan Sword Sect to have a look, but Baili Suxue was closed and disappeared, and that person was not able to enter the Minshan Sword Sect in his life after all.
In fact, even Jingliuli guessed like this.
Because when she asked, Baili Suxue was silent, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, did he really challenge you?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Baili Suxue's mouth.
When he smiled, the corners of his mouth turned up, full of pride, but his eyes were full of emotion and mockery.
He shook his head and said, "I didn't fight him, I closed the door and didn't see him, just because he was too stupid." ”
"Too stupid?"
Jing Liuli looked at him in a daze, she couldn't imagine that the whole world knew that the person in the past was a unique genius in the world, whether it was his perception of cultivation or leading the army to fight, open and secret battles, no one could compare.
In her opinion, even Shizun, whom she respected to the extreme, didn't seem qualified to say that person was too stupid.
"Stupid is stupid, old things, there's nothing to say. ”
Baili Suxue turned away and stopped talking.
Jing Liuli looked at Baili Suxue's back, thinking that he was silently looking at the eternal ice and snow on the top of the mountain, but he didn't know that he was just looking at Changling and looking at the palace that he couldn't see.
……
The sun shines on the cold palace in the depths of the Changling Imperial Palace.
The blood-like acacia vines slowly retracted onto the beams, staggered on the roof of the temple.
On the torture bed below, a bloody figure, or rather a mass of bloody flesh, kept twisting and letting out a terrible moan.
The yellow-robed cultivator pulled out the thin needles that were pierced in Shen Xuan's flesh and blood one by one with some regret, and without even wiping the blood, he put them in the iron box.
The two officials in charge of recording were not like this yellow-robed cultivator who could never leave this cold palace for the rest of his life, but bowed extremely respectfully to Shen Xuan who was writhing on the torture bed, and when they retreated and exited this palace, the two officials both congratulated Shen Xuan softly, "Congratulations to Lord Shen." ”
As the two officials stepped back, two more officers walked in briskly.
One was an elderly medical officer, and he began to treat Shin Hyun's injuries as quickly as possible.
One is a clothing officer, carrying everything that cleans the body and a brand new official uniform.
The smell of blood in the cold palace was washed away, and it began to fill with the unique smell of some rare elixir.
The painful moans in Shen Xuan's mouth also slowly disappeared, only turning into the sound of heavy breathing.
"Lord Shen, bear with me... You have come hard, and the glory and wealth are behind... I haven't seen this kind of drug twice in my life... The queen doesn't have to say much to you in the future. ”
The elderly medical officer whispered in his ear, and in his opinion, only then would Shen Xuan begin to wake up and have his own sense of autonomy.
Shen Xuan's body was gradually cleaned up, the flesh and blood on his body began to regrow, and even the pain was quickly suppressed by the cool medicinal power.
However, what even the elderly medical officer didn't know was that when Shen Xuan heard his words at this time, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a very mocking smile was involved.
"Hurt a person to the end, even if you use the best elixir to show your kindness, even if your flesh and blood and cultivation can be replenished, can you really make up for everything?"
Shen Xuan smiled sarcastically in his heart.
His eyes were particularly hollow at this time, looking at the top of the temple above, and among the dead vines on the top of the temple above, the only few dark red vines that were alive had absorbed fresh nutrients, which were particularly delicate, and one of them even spit out new shoots.
……
As he sneered in his heart, Huang Zhenwei, dressed in a pale yellow robe, was silently staring at a section of the wall foundation under construction on the corner tower.
The foundation of this city wall starts from the east, and at the edge of the entire Changling City, a wall foundation that stretches for many miles has been built, and only waiting for the quarried mountain stones to be transported, and the Changling City, which originally had no city wall, will soon erect a majestic city wall.
Except for the corner towers that stand like giants in Changling, the height of this wall will exceed the height of all the other buildings in Changling City.
On another corner tower in the distance, several generals were also looking at Huang Zhenwei silently.
Changling City had no city walls before, and the defenders of the corner towers everywhere had guards, although there were the highest generals, but in fact, the top generals were all under the orders of the city.
Moshoucheng is actually the supreme commander of the entire Changling garrison.
Although the Zhengwu Division has a garrison barracks in Changling, and all the troops outside Changling are also dispatched by the Zhengwu Division, the city defenders are still an extremely important and powerful force.
After the death of Moshoucheng, under the instruction of the queen, the city defenders were naturally handed over to Huang Zhenwei.
Huang Zhenwei is a student of Moshoucheng, and he has been studying with Moshoucheng, and all the generals of the guard army have no objection or dissatisfaction with his position of taking over Moshoucheng, but what makes them a little incomprehensible is that Huang Zhenwei was originally the head of the first division.
When the city wall was built and the guards were handed over to him at the same time, Huang Zhenwei's power naturally far exceeded that of the rest of the divisions and the Hou Mansion.
And what is even more incomprehensible to them is that there is new news in the palace today.
Shen Xuan, the cool official who was originally in charge of the Great Floating Water Prison, will become the punishment order of the Great Qin Dynasty.
For ordinary middle- and lower-level officials, the three words "Medium Punishment Order" may not be nothing, but for these high-ranking officials who have experienced the changes of the past and the changes of the Bashan Sword Field, these three words are too thrilling.
Everyone in the world knows that the rapid strength of the Great Qin Dynasty is because of the Bashan Sword Field, and the Bashan Sword Field promotes the reform of the Great Qin Dynasty.
But most people in the world only know that it is the businessman who is in charge of the change, but they don't know that in addition to the businessman, there is also the Li family.
The Li family changed the criminal law, and the merchant became the ancestral law.
Some of the ideas put forward by the Li family's heavy punishment and rule even surpassed the imperial power, and the most important thing is that the sentence order is an idea of that person, an official position above the various departments.
These high-ranking generals who defended the city could not understand how the queen would issue this sentence again, but they were sure that as long as this news was true, there would be two more giants in Changling in the future, which would be close to or even equal in status.
One is Huang Zhenwei, who they followed at this time.
One is Shen Xuan, who came out of this big floating prison.
"Fighting in the south and in the north, hoping to be a marquis, in the end he is not as good as a cool official who came out of the torture room. ”
One of the city guards shook his head with a sneer and said.
When he said this, he thought of Liang Lian, the general of the Tiger Wolf Army who had died.
His mood at this time was a little uneven, representing the mood of the vast majority of generals.
"It doesn't matter what we think. ”
The other general beside him glanced at him at this time, and said indifferently and sarcastically: "I'm just curious about the mood of the saint, what the saint will think of her actions." ”
