On the streets of the imperial capital, the doors and windows of every house were closed.
But there are countless figures walking through.
The sounds of collisions between armors occurred one after another.
Zhao Mansion.
Mistress Xu and Er Niang were chatting in the courtyard.
The main reason is that Prime Minister Zhao just ordered that no one in the mansion is allowed to go out.
The second mother is not an ordinary family, and now is a critical time for the handover of the throne.
I couldn't help but think too much, and couldn't sleep, so I called Xu who had just laid down on the bed.
Xu yawned helplessly.
Although Er Niang is a concubine, she has never had the idea of competing for favor. Strictly speaking, her relationship with Er Niang is better than the relationship between Er Niang and the master.
When the master was young, in order to gain a firm foothold in the court, he entered into a marriage alliance with a wealthy family.
Then she married him such a sister. This sister was also very good. She was responsible for eating, drinking and having fun every day. Many times, she could relax with her in the deep palace compound.
Much better than that old man who is busy with official duties all day long.
Erniang said with some worry: "You said that the master suddenly told us not to go out, could it be..."
Xu yawned again and nodded.
After Er Niang got a positive answer, she felt even more uneasy.
“My master is a high-power prime minister, especially after the death of Prime Minister Li You, but he still holds great power.
Will they rush to Zhao Mansion?
After all, this kind of thing always needs the support of important officials in the DPRK. Will you threaten us? "
Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "You can't sleep because you are worried about this, so wake me up."
"Otherwise? This is a big deal."
“In the backyard, one is the Second Sword Immortal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the Ghost Sword Li Mokuang.
As a grandfather, why did you choose tonight to let Luo'er become your disciple?
It can be said that the safest place in the entire imperial capital now is the Zhao Mansion.
Besides, everything has not been settled yet, why are you coming to Zhao Mansion?
The master is the prime minister, who is in charge of civil and government affairs, and does not hold military power. What is the use of asking the master at this time?
Let me spray them to death with spittle? Sleep peacefully. "
After saying this, Mrs. Xu was about to go back to sleep.
Er Niang took her hand and said, "I can't sleep now anyway, let's go to the kitchen to get something to eat."
Mrs. Xu turned her head and looked at Er Niang with wide eyes.
"You can't sleep, I'm sleepy!"
The second mother then showed a miserable expression, full of charm and pity.
Mrs. Xu was a little helpless. She was already in her 30s, so why did she still use this trick? Did she really think she would fall into it?
In the kitchen, two ladies were selecting ingredients.
…
the other side.
Zhou Sui Fan Zai and Xiao Zifeng were drinking and chatting happily.
While chatting, things came up about swordsmanship.
"Xiao Xiaoyou, your swordsmanship is unpredictable and weird. I have been traveling in the world for so many years and I have never seen such a domineering swordsmanship. Can you tell me some of the mysteries in it? Of course, about the core of your swordsmanship. I don’t listen to the content either, I just want to hear something outside the door.
The main thing is that I want to gain more knowledge. There are some things in your swordsmanship that I didn’t quite understand during the competition just now. Can you help me answer my questions? "
Old Li Tou has already seen through everything, and there is still "a little bit" of a hammer, but he obviously doesn't understand what he is pretending to be there.
If anyone really sees what he is doing, he must be bragging now to save his previous face.
Besides, Zhou Suifan could understand things that he didn't even understand. Xiao Zifeng explained it to him in detail that day, but he only made a breakthrough, but he didn't understand the mystery of the immortal's kneeling.
It can be seen that this sword technique has extremely high requirements on a person's swordsmanship understanding.
Anyone who can understand it is a ghost.
Xiao Zifeng then recounted what he had boasted to Lao Li Tou that day.
He told Zhou Suifan again.
Then, Zhou Suifan was there sighing at the mystery of the rules of swordsmanship.
Both Xiao Zifeng and Lao Li Tou were paying attention to his changes. To their disappointment, there was no sign of change or understanding in him.
Xiao Zifeng thought in his heart: "Sure enough, how can a deceptive thing be universal? Lao Li can only be considered lucky that time."
Old Li Tou thought in his heart: "This guy is useless. I told him such a subtle thing, but he didn't understand it at all. He kept sighing and sighing! Do you know how much opportunity you have missed? ah?"
…………
In the palace courtyard.
Half of the guards wore black armor and tied with white cloth in their left hands.
The other half of the Praetorian Guards, tied with blue cloth in their right hands.
The two sides had clear positions and each took sides, but they unanimously forced themselves towards the old emperor's palace.
It is impossible for the two sides to fight at this time, because the biggest threat is still inside.
Outside the palace, a eunuch knocked lightly on the door.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you want to have a meal?"
There was no answer in the room.
The two princes leading the imperial guards looked at each other.
With a wave of his hand, the Imperial Guards from all directions broke through the windows and doors.
A group of people entered the palace.
But he found a person standing in the middle of the palace.
Facing the imperial guards surrounded from all sides, the other party turned a blind eye.
The man saw the two princes who were leading the way and said, "Eldest brother and third brother have brought so many people to protect our father."
The eldest prince and the third prince looked at the second prince warily. The second prince was a martial artist from the four realms. They had to be careful not to be captured by the other side.
It's just that the current second prince makes them feel a little strange.
He seemed to have the power of his father.
The eldest prince spoke first.
"Where is the father?"
"Father is gone and has been passed down to me."
Having said this, the second prince took out the imperial edict from his arms.
The third prince shouted: "You are lying. My father is gone. Why are the bodies missing? Besides, the jade seal and the imperial edict are here. Who knows whether they were written by you or my father."
It's even possible that you killed your father! Hidden his body. "
The second prince had a smile on his lips, and his expression was like that of an adult teasing a child.
"Some words only matter if the strong man says them, not if you say them."
The eldest prince retreated slightly, stood behind the guards, and then said: "I know that the second brother is very strong, but there are so many guards here, even if they are exhausted, they can kill you.
The Praetorian Guards form a formation! "
The third prince also ordered at the same time: "Form up!"
The eldest prince and the third prince retreated at the same time, and the army of imperial guards suppressed the formation.
Looking at the surging imperial guards, the second prince's lips showed mockery.
With a simple punch, the Imperial Guards in front of him were immediately swept into a smooth path of flesh and blood.
In this relatively small space, it is difficult for the Imperial Guards to form large military formations with strong lethality, and they can only form some small military formations.
The eldest prince and the third prince also discovered this and immediately summoned the imperial guards to go out.
He wanted to capture the second prince in one fell swoop.
