Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and walked towards the government office.
As soon as he entered, he encountered a bailiff who stopped him. After explaining the reason, the bailiff called for the Zhou Manor’s order.
Without hesitation, the Zhou Manor Master led the person directly to the prison cell.
In the prison cell.
Xu Bai leaned against the chair and looked at the trembling man in front of him. He smiled and said,””Don’t be nervous. Take your time and say it word by word. Your name is Sun Sheng, right?”
Sun Sheng did not dare to look up at Xu Bai. He nodded in fear and stammered,””Milord, this lowly one came this time because Milord said that as long as I submit to you, you will forget about the past. Is this true?”
“Of course it’s true. Tell me everything you know. Regardless of whether it’s important or not, I won’t do anything to you, and you can live the rest of your life in peace.”Xu Bai guaranteed as he held the black saber Hundred Rend by his waist.
Reality proved that this move of his was really effective. Under the suspicion of the other party, even the person behind the scenes had been affected.
Hearing Xu Bai’s solemn promise, Sun Sheng felt that since he had already walked in, he could only open his mouth and speak.
He clearly stated the bamboo hat man’s intentions, including the time five days later at noon, when they would attack Xu Bai. He did not miss anything. He even told them how many people they had in the Purple Wood Mansion. After hearing the news, Xu Bai thought to himself,” That’s right.”
Those families that did not join forces to pressure them really had their people lurking.
“Twelve Swords Formation, what is that?”Xu Bai stroked his chin. His gaze was not on Sun Sheng, but on the Zhou Manor Token beside him.
When Sun Sheng mentioned the Twelve Sword Formation, the Zhou Manor Token obviously knew about it. He revealed a surprised expression and did not hide anything.
Hearing Xu Bai’s words, the Zhou Manor Head calmed down a little and said, “There are many swordsmen in Great Chu, but when it comes to sword formations, the most famous one is none other than the Coiling Sword Mountain. There’s a Rank One expert guarding it. I didn’t expect them to actually deal with Lord Xu.”
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
This was the Emperor’s true intention. Wouldn’t they be able to find out who was behind this?
The person behind the scenes wasn’t just the bamboo hat man. This so-called Coiling Sword Mountain was the true undercurrent.
“The bamboo hat man is also from Coiling Sword Mountain?”Xu Bai asked again.
The Twelve Swords Formation belonged to the Coiling Sword Mountain, but that didn’t mean that the bamboo hat man was one as well. There were some things that needed to be clarified.
Sun Sheng had already walked right into the trap, so he must have continued to mess things up. After hearing Xu Bail s question, he quickly gave an answer,” He and we are from Chess Board Mountain. The man in the bamboo hat is called Wang Shu. He is a Rank-
“Chessboard Mountain is a chess player.”This time, without waiting for Xu Bai to look over, the Zhou Manor Token explained first.
At this point, the Zhou Manor Token’s words carried a hint of disdain.
After all, even if there was a Rank One expert as a witness, it did not make sense to use the world as a chess piece.
“Then I’ll make it clear.” Xu Bai clapped his hands, stood up from his chair, and walked to Sun Sheng’s side.””Only the Chessboard Mountain and the Coiling Sword Mountain. That means that the two of you are the ones who are dealing with me behind my back.”
Xu Bai had already guessed the reason why they had risked offending the Great
Chu Country to come and deal with him.
“Great Yue?” Xu Bai rubbed his chin and asked.
“No.” Sun Sheng shook his head and denied it.” It’s Gale. These two inheritances came from Gale. They have existed since Gale. ‘”‘
“The Emperor isn’t such a person, is he?” Xu Bai frowned. If Great Chu had been built back then, the remnants of Gale would have been eradicated.”
He could not quite understand the Emperor’s intentions. Logically speaking, from what he knew from the side, the Emperor was definitely not a soft-hearted person. However, there was something wrong with keeping these so-called remnants by his side.
Wait a minute!
Xu Bai suddenly paused as if he had thought of something. He asked, “Lord Zhou, are there many such inheritances in the martial world that have been passed down from the Gale Country?”
” Not just a lot,” the Zhou Manor Magistrate nodded.” About seventy percent of them are like this. When His Majesty conquered this country, he led his army straight up and subdued all the martial artists in Great Chu. His Highness even pointed his sword at those martial artists and said that if they were not convinced, they could go to the Ascending Underworld Army at any time. However, no one dared to speak up.”
“After that, Your Highness brought those martial artists to Dayue and made them pay for their crimes. They did make a lot of contributions.”
Xu Bai suddenly understood.
If that was the case, he would understand.
Back then, the Emperor and King Sheng You pointed their swords at the martial world and subdued it completely. However, in the end, they left a hand behind and did not continue.
The reason was actually very simple. It was because this kind of Jianghu people still had quite a lot of strength. If they were all eliminated, it would indeed be a pity.
At that time, the newly established Great Chu State was still facing the threat of the Great Yue State and the barbarians. Therefore, they used the people of this Jianghu to solve the crisis at that time.
They had solved the crisis at that time, and this group of people had done a
meritorious service. If they were to openly destroy them, it would form a cruel and unreasonable image..
