Chapter 13 There Has to Be an Explanation
[The number of sword swings +1, the current total number of sword swings is 10000. 】

[Accumulate 10000 sword swings, you have obtained [Tiangang Nine Swords]! 】

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning sun shone on Xu Lan's face, he completed his [-]th sword swing at the same time!

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

A look of tiredness flashed across Xu Lan's eyes, and he found that his arms had long been numb to the point of no feeling.

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

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

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

Xu Lan felt a little turmoil in his heart, he had never heard of such a terrifying sword skill.

Judging from the description alone, the power of this set of swordsmanship is extremely astonishing, but I don’t know how many swords I can perform with the current energy in my body.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

As Xu Lan stopped swinging his sword, Qingluan and Hongluan beside him woke up instantly.

The two of them also stayed up all night, just watching Xu Lan practice sword all night.

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

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

"it is good."

Qingluan turned and left, and returned within a moment with a pot of hot water and a towel.

"call"

Xu Lan directly put his arm into the basin filled with hot water, and an indescribable refreshing feeling instantly rushed to the top of the sky.

"Young master, let me help you."

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

"Miss Chen hasn't come back yet?"

Xu Lan asked softly, a whole night had passed, and Chen Ci hadn't come back yet.

"not yet."

Qingluan shook her head,

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was Chen Ci who hadn't returned all night.

At this time, Chen Ci was also full of tiredness. When he saw Xu Lan, he was slightly taken aback, 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.

"Ah."

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

Xu Lan just looked at Chen Ci without saying anything. She was lying to herself.

"what happened?"

Chen Ci felt a little guilty when Xu Lan stared at him like this, and wondered in his heart that there was a flaw in what he said?

"You are not fit to lie."

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci and shook her head, "You don't dare to look into other people's eyes when you're lying, that's not acceptable."

Chen Ci: ...

For a moment, speechless.

"Actually, you and I know who the real murderer is, and the people in Qingzhou Yamen also know."

Xu Lan said slowly: "But the prefect of Qingzhou will return to Beijing to report on his duties soon, and he doesn't want to make things big and affect his official career."

"In addition, the murderer also has a certain background, so the Yamen is going to make big things into small things, right?"

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

Xu Lan was indeed right. Not only the Qingzhou magistrate, but also other officials in the entire Qingzhou officialdom were unwilling to cause trouble at this moment.

Otherwise, when it's their turn to return to Beijing to report on their duties in half a month, they won't be able to report to the imperial court.
It was also because of this that Chen Ci acted alone. According to some existing clues, he traced to a ruined temple outside the city and saw the group of vicious people.

She just killed everyone,
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 think things are too simple."

Looking at Chen Ci in front of her, Xu Lan felt like laughing, but in the end she didn't.

"You probably don't know that the group of people who died at your hands should be some refugees or even fugitives who already have criminal records."

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

"Even if you can kill the second, third, and fourth time?"

"They know they can't offend Xuan Jingsi's people, so they only target me."

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

"How do you know I'm from Xuanjing Division?"

Chen Ci's eyes were a little flustered. It was impossible. He had clearly never told Xu Lan that he was from the Xuanjing Division.

"Monster."

Xu Lan smiled slightly,
Chen Ci was silent again, she found that Xu Lan was smarter than she imagined.

"When did you start to doubt?"

Chen Ci couldn't figure out what went wrong. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Xu Lan to know that he was from the Xuanjing Division.

"Since you said that you are a practitioner of the three realms."

Xu Lan couldn't help laughing,

"You don't think it's normal for a person who has reached the third realm before the age of 20 to be an ordinary policeman in Qingzhou?"

"But I never said anything related to Xuanjing Division."

"So I was fooled."

Chen Ci: ...

"I'm sorry, this matter was caused by me."

There was a tinge of guilt in Chen Ci's voice, if he hadn't been impulsive in the restaurant yesterday, naturally nothing would have happened.

"So you shouldn't stop me, right?"

Xu Lan clenched her arms slightly, and found that the numbness in her arms had eased a lot.

"What do you want?"

Chen Ci showed a look of astonishment, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in his heart.

"There has to be an explanation for this."

With the help of Qingluan and Hongluan, Xu Lan put on her shirt again, put the sword in her hand into her waist and said with a smile, "You can't let me suffer, right?"

"you"

Chen Ci suddenly realized that Xu Lan wanted to use his own means to fight fire with fire.
"I waited here all night, it's a pity that the Yamen let me down."

Xu Lan moved her neck slightly and said with a smile: "In this case, I can only deal with this matter in my own way."

When Qian Shaojun knew that the person who chopped off his palm came from Xuan Jingsi, he didn't dare to burst out with all kinds of anger in his heart, so he could only regard himself as the target of revenge.

But he is different,
If Qian Shaojun moved his own people, then he should look for Qian Shaojun.

"You have no official position, and no fame."

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Ci slowly opened his mouth and said, "Being reckless will only bring you endless troubles."

"So think about all the consequences before doing it, isn't it all right?"

Xu Lan raised her head and smiled, "I'm not an idiot like Qian Shaojun."
