In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 169 Qin Xuanyu's Identity

At the village entrance, on a nearby outskirts, Shadow Blade had been waiting for a long time.

After making proper arrangements for Jiang Qingyue, Qin Xuanyu came here.

"Your Majesty."

"How are things going?"

"Your Highness, the group of refugees who were confirmed to be uninfected have been released into the city, while the other group who were infected are still being housed outside the city for the time being."

Qin Xuanyu's plan was to use these refugees to disrupt the other side's plans.

"Keep an eye on it. In two days, the Emperor's message will surely arrive. Make the necessary arrangements."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Shadow Blade accepted the order and descended.

Just after Shadow Blade left, Qin Xuanyu glanced at the bushes behind him before slowly speaking, "What, do you want to hide closer so you can hear me more clearly?"

A figure slowly appeared; it was Ah Shui.

"As expected, you're no ordinary person." Ah Shui had met this person a few years ago, when Qin Xuanyu had just been poisoned. He claimed to be a friend, but his attitude didn't seem like it. Since he left later, they didn't pursue the matter further.

Now, they reappear, meeting secretly in private.

Although I couldn't hear what they were talking about, it was enough to prove that Qin Xuanyu's identity was not simple.

"Yes, my identity is not simple. I admit that I used you guys to some extent this time because this place is the safest. I feel more at ease leaving my fiancée here."

Qin Xuanyu openly and frankly admitted his purpose.

The more you try to hide things from them, the more it will arouse suspicion and doubt, affecting their relationship. It's better to be open and honest.

“There may be more big things to come, and I won’t be able to take care of her. Her injury is partly because of me, so I don’t want her to get involved in these conflicts anymore.”

Qin Xuanyu and Ah Shui sat facing each other, talking about themselves for the first time.

At the same time, he asked Ah Shui to arrange for a trustworthy woman who knew medicine to help Jiang Qingyue apply medicine regularly, and Ah Shui did not refuse.

The village chief, Ah Shui, and others had asked him the same question before, but he had brushed them off.

Ah Shui stared at Qin Xuanyu for a moment, then said, "Brother Yu, what you're talking about is just a small matter. What about you? If you have any difficulties, you can tell us, and we'll all help you."

“I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is not that simple. I only hope that while I am away, you can look after my fiancée. That would be the greatest help you can give me.”

Qin Xuanyu knew, of course, that with their help, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort, and things would be much easier. However, they shouldn't have been dragged into this.

However, the fact that they can stay here safely despite offending so many people shows that they are quite capable.

In addition, Qin Xuanyu's deliberate leniency was also to reassure them. They learned Qin Xuanyu's identity by buying information from the secret sect.

Inside the village chief's house, Ah Shui and several other young and middle-aged people were sitting together. There were swordsmen with scars on their faces and scholars who looked refined. It could be said that several important figures in Luoxia Village were gathered together, looking at the news that had come to them.

“When we investigated him before, we couldn’t find anything. How come we found out so quickly now?” one of them asked.

“Because that’s what he wants us to find out,” said the scholarly-looking man.

"Yu Xuan, Xuan Yu, he is actually the current King of Qin!"

"Village chief, you make a decision, what should we do? We've said it before, we will never have anything to do with the imperial court."

Once Qin Xuanyu's identity was revealed, the group fell into a dispute.

This was actually Qin Xuanyu's choice for them. After all, he respected everyone here and their lives. If they couldn't accept him, then once Jiang Qingyue recovered, he would naturally take her away.

If they can accept it, then I won't have any worries about Jiang Qingyue's side, which would be the best outcome.

“But he never asked us to do anything. Moreover, he always treated us like friends, and Bai Chi even chose to leave with him for his sake.”

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Bai Chi must already know his identity, but he still chose to stay with him. This person must be different from other people in the court."

"But he's royalty."

"If he hadn't been poisoned by accident, he might have stayed with us and lived a carefree life. Perhaps he was forced into this situation."

"But the Crown Prince is dead, and it's very likely he killed him! Moreover, Aunt Zhang has been treating that girl's injuries recently, saying that the girl's injuries were inflicted by someone who was vicious. That person is probably the Crown Prince. With this conflict, his motive for killing is very clear, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future."

"No, I believe him. He is definitely not that kind of person. Although there was a conflict, given his methods and his principles back then, he would never assassinate the Crown Prince. Either he would openly declare war on the Crown Prince, ruin his reputation, and make him lose everything. That is the most likely method he would choose."

It has to be said that Ah Shui understands Qin Xuanyu the best.

"..."

The group debated Qin Xuanyu's identity and recent events, but could not reach a consensus.

The village chief did not make any statement, but sat in the main seat, head bowed in thought.

"Village chief, please say something."

Unable to reach a conclusion, the crowd turned their attention to the village chief.

"Let's observe further and see what's happening on His Majesty's side. As for this side, now that we're here, we must protect the people."

To be honest, the village chief had always admired Qin Xuanyu. Although he had long suspected his identity, he was not bold enough to believe that he was the son of an official in the imperial court.

Now that his identity has been revealed, that girl must be a member of the Jiang family, and this Jiang family girl seems to be quite extraordinary as well.

"Yes, village chief."

Qin Xuanyu had no idea what they were discussing, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. Since he had chosen to reveal his identity, he was already prepared to face all possibilities.

At this moment, Bai Chi returned, but before he could rest, Qin Xuanyu pulled him over here.

"Your Highness, if you want an ox to work, you have to let it catch its breath first," Bai Chi said, looking at Qin Xuanyu with a resentful expression.

He was first dragged over to check the situation at the Qin city gate. He found that people from the Medical Sect were already making arrangements. After confirming that there were no problems, he rushed over without even having a sip of water.

"Stop talking nonsense and go take a look." After saying that, Qin Xuanyu pulled Bai Chi over to Jiang Qingyue's side.

"You want me to see her? Have you forgotten that she knows medicine? And you had to bring me all this way here?"

Bai Chi looked at Qin Xuanyu in disbelief.
