"Is there no trace of Xu Yi yet?"
Hulong Villa.
Inside the fortified palace.
Zhu Wuwang's expression was a little irritable.
More than a month has passed, and even if they haven't found Ye Gucheng's secret, now even Xu Yi, who was originally under their control, is out of their control!
Shangguan Haitang······
He originally thought this tool was very useful, but now he feels that he should probably use a different tool.
She looked at Xu Yi, but she didn't even know when he disappeared!
Incompetent bungler!
"Not yet... Mr. Hou, I suspect that Xu Yi has already come to the capital, and just used disguise to hide his identity..."
"I don't need to know this! I just need to know where he is now! There are also Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, I must have information about all of them!"
"...Yes! Lord Marquis!"
The man in black took the order and retreated.
Zhu Wuwang's mood did not improve, but instead became more and more irritable.
The day after tomorrow is September 15th, and Ye Gucheng's conspiracy will most likely start on that day, but now he doesn't even know what the other party wants to do!
"Ye Gucheng..."
A low and cold voice echoed in the palace.
"Master, there is news about Ye Gucheng!"
"Huh? Give it to me quickly!"
Zhu Wuwu read it quickly. He thought it was news found by his subordinates, but he didn't expect it to be a letter written to him by Ye Gucheng himself!
"Invite me to meet tomorrow night?"
Zhu Wulan's eyes narrowed slightly.
······
Tonight is destined to be an uneventful night.
The arrest in Zuixianlou was just one of the minor incidents.
There are two days left, September 15th, when all the conspiracies and plans really begin to explode.
Lu Xiaofeng finally found some clues, but was suddenly tricked by the honest monk again, and handed the ten royal silk ribbons given to him by the emperor into his hands.
These ten royal silk ribbons are the emperor's response to this incident.
When things have developed to this point, it is impossible for them to stop it.
This is no longer just a matter of the three great swordsmen. At least 70% of the world's strongest men have come to the capital, waiting to see this shocking showdown.
If they want to stop it, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to going against more than 70% of the powerful people in the world.
Even if their Ming Dynasty is the most powerful force in the world, it is impossible for them to do such a thing.
At least the current emperor of Ming Dynasty cannot do it...
The current emperor has not been in power for a long time and is a 'new' emperor. Although his skills are not bad, in this intricate and complex situation, it is obvious that he is still unable to unify the entire court.
Not to mention unifying the entire court, even Dongchang, which was supposed to be his eagle dog, he did not have complete control over.
Compared to him as the emperor, Cao Zhengchun, who had been the governor of Dongchang for decades, was the one who truly controlled the power of the entire Dongchang.
If it weren't for the great enemy Zhu Wuli, it would be difficult for the emperor to drive Cao Zhengchun!
Otherwise, why would he need to set up the West Factory?
Isn’t it just to compete with Dongchang for power and profit?
It's a pity that there are no martial arts practitioners like Cao Zhengchun in the West Factory. Even with the emperor's full support behind him, the power is far less than that of the East Factory.
The same goes for the six doors.
God Catcher Liu Jiyan is a veteran of the former dynasty and a martial arts practitioner. He has already firmly controlled the power of the six gates in his own hands. Although he still obeys his orders on the surface, within the six gates, God Catcher's orders are comparable. The decree must work!
The emperor specially invited Zhuge Zhengwo back and re-established the Liuwu Shenhou Mansion in order to fight against the God-catcher Liu Jiyan.
There was also Zhu Wuli, and the emperor used the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Cai Jing to check and balance.
This is what makes him good at what he does.
Taking advantage of the antagonism between the parties, not allowing one party to dominate, and barely allowing itself to have a certain say.
But that's the limit.
If he wants to have so many forces at his disposal, and even fight to the death with so many strong men in the world, it can only be said that he is overthinking.
The moment he issued the order, the result was either a combination of yin and yang, or...
All in all, the relatively sane emperor hated Ye Gucheng deeply for setting the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City and wanted to kill him with a thousand knives.
At this time, he still chose to solve this problem in another way.
The solution is simple.
It's up to them to issue admissions!
They can't stop everyone, but they can stop people who are not qualified to enter!
How to get admission?
As long as you have a special royal silk ribbon, you can cross the royal gate, enter the palace, and watch the battle.
By the way, this royal silk ribbon was made by the Su family in Jiangning.
Xu Yi never intervened from beginning to end. In the early stage, he didn't want to confront Ye Gucheng so soon. In the later stage... he didn't need to intervene anymore.
"This time, I was tricked to death!"
By the lakeside, Lu Xiaofeng rubbed her swollen head after waking up from alcohol, and looked at the nine royal silk ribbons on her body with an ugly expression.
If this thing falls into his hands, isn't it going to kill him? !
In today's capital city, more than 70% of the world's powerful people have gathered together, and among them there are more than ten top warriors. Who can decide who should be given to whom?
Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be able to see that surrounding these nine royal silk ribbons, a bloody storm was completely inevitable.
"Honest monk! You are so damn not honest at all!"
······
Liuwu Shenhou Mansion.
Zhuge Zhengwo was using his 20-year-old Nuerhong to recruit another one of his best players—Cui Lueshang, who also means Zhui Ming.
Originally, when he was in Zui Xian Tower, Zhui Ming had already been caught by the people from Liumen. It was Zhuge Zhengga who handed Jia San and Bronze Model to the God Catcher Liu Jiyan and made an exchange with him, and then he Fished it out.
Although judging from the subsequent situation, it seems that Chasing Life has nothing to do with the Bronze Mold Case, but it fell into the hands of Six Doors. Who knows what they will do for credit?
Most of the four famous arresters have gathered now.
Iron-handed, ruthless, and life-seeking.
Only the last one is cold-blooded.
"Qingwu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuge Zhengwo asked.
He found that Sheng Yayu had not spoken since he came back from Zuixian Tower, and his expression was very depressed.
"It's nothing, just a little tired."
Sheng Yayu shook his head and said softly.
"Are you tired? Then I'll push you back to rest."
Little Dingdang said.
"good."
The two left the table.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhuge Zhengwo frowned slightly.
He always felt that Sheng Yayu seemed to be hiding something big in his heart!
"Jiao Niang, please help me talk to Qing Qing. I think she seems to have something on her mind."
"Oh, don't worry! I know what to do!"
······
Six doors.
"The wonders of the Western Regions?!"
God Catcher Liu Jiyan looked at Han Long, who had been frozen into a lump of ice, and frowned deeply.
Why did Han Long, who went to track the man in black, die in the hands of the Western Region's Qigong?
Could it be said that the mastermind behind the bronze mold case has something to do with the countries in the Western Regions? !
"God Catcher, the expression on Han Long's face is very surprised. Before he died, he may have seen something incredible! It may be related to the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Leng Lingqi (Lengxue) spoke, his voice was cold and unapproachable to strangers.
"What makes him so surprised is that the identity of the mastermind behind this is probably unusual! It's probably someone we haven't thought of before!"
God Catcher Liu Jiyan glanced at Han Long's face, then at Leng Lingqi who was half-kneeling on the ground, but said nothing.
When Leng Lingqi captured Jia San and used Jia San to fish, it was his own decision. This was undoubtedly a violation of the six-door rule!
"Where is Ji Guanhua? I remember that she seemed to be chasing after her too. Why is there no news now?"
"Report to the catcher! Other traces of fighting were found at the scene. Ji Yuhua and the others... are suspected to have chased the murderer!"
"Suspicious? Check for me immediately! I want to know where they are now!"
"yes!"
After some stern lectures.
God Catcher Liu Jiyan finally set his sights on Leng Lingqi, and then stripped him of his identity as the six-door head catcher with just one sentence.
Of course, this is all an illusion. The purpose is to infiltrate Leng Lingqi into the Liuwu Shenhou Mansion and serve as his internal agent to monitor the details of the Liuwu Shenhou Mansion.
God Catcher Liu Jiyan suspects that Zhuge Zhengwo may have colluded with the traitor Cai Jing!
Well.
These words were spoken by God Catcher Liu Jiyan to Leng Lingqi. As for the truth?
Maybe it really is!
······
A secret place.
"Is there no news about Xu Yi yet?"
Ye Gucheng asked.
"Not yet, but there is a high probability that he has already arrived in the capital!"
"Well, forget it. Although he and Ximen Chuixue are important, they are not that important! I heard that Lu Xiaofeng found some clues about the people below?"
"Uh! Don't worry, City Lord! The matter has been solved! Everyone with relevant clues is dead! There is no way Lu Xiaofeng can find us!"
"That's the best! There are still two days left, and I don't want any mistakes to happen in these two days! Do you understand?!"
"I understand! There is no need for the city lord to worry so much about Lu Xiaofeng. Not long ago, the honest monk gave him the ten ribbons. He will not be able to protect himself from now on! He will not have any energy to take care of our affairs!"
"Oh? The ribbon was actually handed over to Lu Xiaofeng?"
Ye Gucheng was a little surprised.
Although he made this plan, he couldn't decide who would distribute the ribbons in the end. He could only use the words of Manager Wang to mention it in a vague way.
His initial goal was to be an honest monk!
From some secret channels, Ye Gucheng discovered that this Shaolin monk, whom people in the world called "honest monk", was not really that honest.
Behind him, in addition to the power of Shaolin Temple, there seems to be a more hidden and terrifying power hidden!
Out of fear of this power, Ye Gucheng thought of using this opportunity to spy on the other party.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that the honest monk would change hands and hand this hot potato into Lu Xiaofeng's hands!
"fair enough."
After Ye Gucheng was silent for a while, he said lightly.
He still has some feelings for Lu Xiaofeng, his 'old friend', and he doesn't want to kill him himself if necessary!
Now that the other party is being held back by this matter, it is basically impossible to get involved, and the two sides will naturally not meet each other.
"The next step is a battle the day after tomorrow!"
If it works, everything will be there!
If you fail, everything will be lost!
After preparing for so many years, Ye Gucheng felt that there was no possibility of failure for him!
······
Another hidden place.
Ximen Chuixue was silently wiping his sword.
Among many people, he should be the purest one.
He only thought about the peak showdown two days later and didn't think about anything else.
"Xu Yi!"
"Ye Gucheng!"
"I really hope you can die by my sword!"
"Or... let me die by your sword!"
······
Storm is coming.
Even the most ordinary people can feel a dignified aura hovering over the capital, and it will pour down at any time and flood the entire capital!
Chengdong District.
In a vast mansion.
There is a gilt plaque hanging above, with two large characters written on it.
Anfu.
The An family was not one of the traditional aristocratic families of the Ming Dynasty, nor was it a newly emerging noble family, but a very pure business family.
But such a family has the title of the richest man in the capital, and even the first aristocratic family in the capital.
Apart from the fact that Anjia is indeed very rich, there is another very important reason - they are Cai Jing's people!
In the eyes of everyone, An Jia is just a dog raised by Cai Jing, specially used to make money for him.
It is precisely because of Cai Jing's protection that the An family has not been cared about for so many years, and is even called the richest man in the capital.
But in fact, the two identities are completely opposite.
Cai Jing is the one who is the dog!
An underground maze.
In a luxurious and luxurious palace.
Cai Jing knelt in front of An Yunshan like a dog and said very flatteringly.
"Master, you summoned me here so late. Do you have something to ask me to do?"
If outsiders saw him like this, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
Is this still the prime minister Cai Jing who commands the civil servants and can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the court?
This is absolutely the humblest dog!
An Yunshan glanced at Cai Jing with disgust and said.
"My incompetent son attacked Liu Jiyan today, which may reveal some flaws. You think of a way to delay it and prevent them from discovering it!"
"Attacked the God Catcher Liu Jiyan?"
Cai Jing trembled.
"Young Master, he..."
"What? What's the problem?"
"No! No problem!"
When Cai Jing saw An Yunshan's downcast expression, his expression immediately became frightened, and he quickly responded.
Even though he knew that this matter was not as simple as Anyun Shankou said...
"Ah That's good!"
An Yunshan nodded with satisfaction.
A dog should look like a dog!
"There are two days left, it's September 15th. Who are we...?!"
Suddenly he shouted loudly.
