Chapter 1030: The Anti-Traitor Conference (X)
Since Qingfeng had not yet made his position clear, the Wudang disciples did not dare to act rashly in the face of the aggressive Xue Huzi and others even though they were furious.
At this critical moment when things are at loggerheads, the one who strikes first often means he is in the wrong.
"presumptuous!"
However, just as thousands of "spectators" were at a loss, the major sects were in a dilemma, and the situation on the field was almost one-sided, Qingfeng, who had been restraining his emotions, suddenly let out a thunderous roar.
But he waved his hand, creating a ripple of energy that caught Xue Huzi and his group off guard and forced them to retreat again and again.
"As the upright leader of the Central Plains Wulin, how can I be threatened by your evil tricks to give in?" Qingfeng's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as cold as ice, his aura was overwhelming, and every word was sonorous. "Considering that we have known each other for a long time, I was going to show some mercy to you. But not only did you not reflect on yourself, but you became even worse. In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You are so heartless?" Xunzhen raised his eyebrows and carefully tested, "How do you mean you are so heartless?"
"Don't worry! If he wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end." Xiao Zhirou took a step forward, and her internal strength overflowed around her body, causing the air around her to ripple with layers of waves.
"Fight?" Qing Feng laughed in anger, "You are all just waiting for me to get angry and fight with you. Wouldn't that be exactly what you want?"
"This..." Qin Ku was stunned, and raised the most ironic question in the most sincere manner, "Is the leader of Qingfeng Alliance...cowardly?"
"Qin Ku, stop being so weird!" Qing Feng was serious, and his angry tone contained a hint of helplessness and regret. "In the past, I saw that you were rough but meticulous, and you were not bound by worldly matters. I thought you were the jade of Jingshan, a talent that could be cultivated, so I wanted to cultivate you to become a great man, and it was worth the friendship between Wudang and the Qin family. But I didn't expect that you not only lived in mediocrity and did not seek to make progress, but also failed to distinguish between good and evil and indulged in depravity. You hang out with treacherous and prodigal sons like Liu Xunyi all day long, and step by step drag the Hexi Qin family into the abyss of no return. You are really unworthy of the founder of the Qin family, the loyal disciples of the Qin family, and the fellow Jianghu people who share the same blood."
Although the situation was as tense as fire and water, Qingfeng spoke to Qin Kuer in the tone of an elder speaking to a younger person, which inevitably caught him off guard and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Xie Xuan, since you keep saying that the truth has been revealed and Zhao Yuan's attempt to recruit the amnesty has failed, why don't you mention why Zhao Yuan failed to recruit the amnesty? And why was Tian Jin assassinated?" After scolding Qin Ku, Qing Feng cast a contemptuous look at Xie Xuan with a solemn expression, "An imperial envoy who traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country to recruit the local tyrants should have sought to escape unscathed even if the recruitment failed. How dare he rely on only a few hundred people to kill the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world in Luoyang City, where he is unfamiliar with the place? Such a risky act, if there is no 'sufficient reason', wouldn't it be unjustifiable? As for 'failed to recruit the amnesty', 'frustrated' and so on, they are definitely not sufficient reasons for Zhao Yuan to take such a risk."
"hiss!"
Qingfeng's words awakened the dreamer, and made the people of Jianghu, who were immersed in "ups and downs", suddenly realize and gradually notice something strange.
"This……"
"Did you forget to say it? Or are you afraid to say it?" Seeing Xie Xuan's face change slightly, Qing Feng's momentum became stronger, "Whether Liu Xunyi is the illegitimate child of Luo Tianjin and Xiao Zhirou... I don't know. But I know that leading the heroes of the world to hunt down Liu Xunyi is not out of selfishness, but out of justice. Because Liu Xunyi was not innocent from the beginning to the end... Not only him, but Xie Xuan, Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku and all those who colluded with them are not innocent. Even Tianjin, who suffered an unexpected accident... is not innocent."
"what?"
As soon as Qingfeng said this, it immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
"It cannot be denied that as the leader of the martial arts world, I am neither fair nor honest. I... am indeed wrong, and I am extremely wrong." Qingfeng looked annoyed and regretful. "I should not have cared about our old friendship, and I should not have been soft-hearted. I repeatedly shielded and condoned these city foxes and community rats, black sheep, making them more fearless and unscrupulous. Today, they bit me back because I was confused for a moment, and I can't blame anyone. In fact, these profiteers "Those who are blinded by lust and sell out their masters for glory have long forgotten their origins and surrendered to the enemy. Now, they dare to stand here and deceive the people with their lies. How can they be more than shameless? They have lost all conscience! They regard us, the righteous men of the Central Plains, as fools and fools, and use their sweet words to manipulate us. Today, if I cannot expose their ugly faces and restore the Central Plains martial arts to purity and peace to the people of the world, I am not worthy of being the leader of the Central Plains martial arts!"
"This……"
Seeing Qingfeng's passionate and generous speech, which did not seem to be bluffing, Xie Xuan, Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku, Xue Huzi and others were all secretly surprised. They looked at each other with a bewildered look on their faces.
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in their hearts, but they couldn't figure out where Qingfeng's confidence came from.
In the distance, Xunzhen frowned slightly, said nothing, and stared closely at Qingfeng who was talking freely, with a hint of worry emerging in her beautiful eyes.
"Forgetting one's roots, surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country... What Leader Qingfeng just said is really shocking." Under the guidance of Jin Fuyu's eyes, Lu Tingxiang asked thoughtfully, "According to Leader Qingfeng... Liu Xunyi, Lord Xie, Chief Teng, Lord Xiao, Lord Yun, Lord Qin, Gang Leader Xue... even including Leader Luo who has been killed, they all have problems?" "Yes!"
"hiss!"
Qingfeng answered without hesitation, causing an uproar again.
"Humph!" Teng Sanshi glared at the "righteous" Qingfeng fiercely and said angrily, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."
"Leader Qingfeng, this matter is of great importance... Please be careful with your words." Jin Fuyu kindly reminded, "You are not only pointing the finger at the people who are against you, but also involving the previous leader of the Central Plains Wulin. If you don't have real evidence..."
"Master Jinwu, don't worry! I am not Xie Xuan and Xiao Zhirou. I will not learn their sweet talk and nonsense." Qingfeng interrupted Jin Fuyu's doubts with a solemn oath, and then he shouted loudly, "Bring them up!"
"Yes!"
Following a response, everyone present looked towards the empty gate of Prince Xian's Mansion.
A moment later, a man and a woman, looking depressed and with unsteady steps, accompanied by four Wudang disciples, slowly walked out of the Prince Xian's Mansion and appeared in front of everyone one after another.
Seeing these two people, most people present still looked confused. However, Xunzhen, Xie Xuan and others' eyes suddenly changed, and an indescribable mixture of astonishment, enlightenment, and regret quickly surged onto their faces.
The man was none other than Yuan Xiao, who had made Xunzhen uneasy last night.
The woman was Ling Xiaoxiao's personal maid, Huan'er.
"They may be known to some people, or they may be strangers."
Qingfeng came forward leisurely, grasped Huan'er's arm with his left hand, grasped Yuan Xiao's wrist with his right hand, and led the two anxious people into the bluestone square.
He looked at Xie Xuan, who was in a dilemma, with a half-smile, and suggested: "Master Xie, why don't you tell the heroes of the world what their names are?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Xuan frowned, pretending not to understand Qing Feng's hidden meaning. "One of them is a maid in the Xianwang Mansion, named Huan'er. The other is a 'friend' of Wudang. If I remember correctly, he should be from outside the Great Wall... Master Yuan."
"Yuan Xiao, the head of the Shenzhou Yuan family, one of the Four Prefectures of Shangjing." Qingfeng nodded lightly, and then cast a sly look at Hong Si, Yan Shun, and Lei Zhen who were looking at each other in bewilderment. "It is understandable that Master Xie knows only a little about Master Yuan, because they just met not long ago. But you three... must be familiar with Yuan Xiao. After all, the 'Four Prefectures of Shangjing' have been dominating the outer border for many years, and they are doing very well. The four of you are close friends and as close as brothers. The relationship of several decades... can be said to be broken bones and tendons."
"Qingfeng leader, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but what exactly are you up to?" Zuo Hongxuan looked at Qingfeng, Xie Xuan and the others with a confused look on his face, and said, "I wonder what's so special about this Mr. Yuan and the maid in the Xianwang Mansion? What's their relationship with Liu Xunyi?"
"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me explain the reason." Qingfeng smiled calmly and explained slowly, "In short, the 'Four Prefectures of Shangjing' are not just a gang outside the Great Wall, but a hidden force that the Young King of the Western Regions has spent many years secretly cultivating. The purpose is to occupy the Northeast, expand secretly, and when necessary, respond to the old Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions. As for what is 'when necessary'... I believe that all heroes in the world understand it, so please forgive me for not repeating it."
"This……"
"Today, the 'Four Prefectures of Shangjing' are only in name. Yuan Xiao, Hong Si, Yan Shun, and Lei Zhen led their elite troops into the Great Wall respectively, and regrouped in different places by relying on different sects in the Central Plains. They called it 'the bleakness outside the Great Wall, and the desire to enter the prosperity', but it was just an excuse. Their real purpose was exactly the same as their establishment of the 'Four Prefectures of Shangjing' outside the Great Wall, recruiting soldiers and cultivating supporters for the Young King of Qin, in case of emergency."
Having said this, Qingfeng suddenly turned around, his sharp eyes like a sharp sword, shooting directly at Liu Xunyi who was tied to the pillar, and said word by word: "Interestingly, the current 'Four Prefectures of Shangjing' have been renamed the 'Western Law Wuzong' Central Plains Four Branches, and the leader is the Shao Qin King himself. As for their deputy leader, the 'vanguard general' who is in charge of the four branches of Yuan, Yan, Hong, and Lei, and expands the territory and strengthens the power of the Shao Qin King in the Central Plains, is none other than Liu Xunyi, who is far away and close at hand, and is regarded as a 'loyal minister and filial son' by Xie Xuan, Xiao Zhirou and others."
