There was a chilling atmosphere in the air.
All the martial arts masters who came to the Forbidden City felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, with chills all over their bodies.
Under the gaze of the supreme Ninth Level Emperor, Emperor Ming.
Everyone felt as if everything in their hearts was invisible and could be seen clearly by the emperor.
"After the assassins were killed, we actually couldn't leave the palace..."
Mu Daoren's heart was cold.
This kind of result really makes them despair.
Lu Xiaofeng forced herself to calm down and mustered up the courage to look at Chen Xixiang:
"So the emperor plans to kill us too?"
Following Lu Xiaofeng's question, everyone's hearts beat faster.
Chen Xixiang stood with his hands behind his back, scanned everyone here one by one, and responded:
"You people in the world, all of you, relying on your own martial arts skills, are so arrogant that you don't even pay attention to the court and the imperial power. In my eyes, you are all no different from assassins, and you are all traitors and traitors who dare to despise the imperial power. "
After this sentence appeared.
The air in the building turned to freezing point again.
Because what Chen Xixiang said is right.
If it were any time before today, they would not have thought that the Forbidden City was such a difficult place to enter and exit.
When Cao Zhengchun saw these masters in the world of martial arts, they all had their heads buried in the ground under the emperor's words, and their faces were full of uneasiness.
He didn't know why he suddenly felt proud.
"These people in the world finally know how to be afraid."
A martial arts master always has his eyes higher than his head.
Xia uses force to break the ban.
He is self-reliant in his cultivation and believes that with his martial arts skills, he can go anywhere in the world.
But now, under the emperor's words "You can't leave".
Just one sentence, drawing the ground as a prison, so that they dare not move where they are.
Cao Zhengchun also thought to himself: "I wonder how the emperor will deal with these people?"
Chen Xixiang looked at the bright moon in the sky, and his voice reached the ears of everyone present: "Breaking into the palace at night and having no regard for the emperor. This crime in my Ming Law is enough to make each of you die more than ten times. Logically speaking, I really should put all of you to death."
Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing and others were all stiff.
Even many masters are so frightened that they cannot describe it.
Because the emperor in front of him really had the absolute power to kill them all.
Chen Xixiang saw these people showing panic and fear, but he changed the subject:
"But I am not a murderous king, so I can give you a chance."
Lu Xiaofeng's face had completely calmed down, because he had already heard from Chen Xixiang's words that the emperor seemed to have other attitudes towards them. He bowed and cupped his hands, and said in a low voice:
"What opportunity? Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."
Although more than half of the ribbons entering the Forbidden City were sent out by the little old man and others, he also sent out half of them.
He sent them to his relatives and friends.
In other words, half of the people standing here are his good friends, so he is naturally most concerned about this issue.
How could the emperor be willing to let these people leave the palace?
"It's very simple. If you want to be able to enter and exit the imperial city, you must be someone who belongs to the imperial city. In other words, only my people can enter and exit the imperial city. These people are either palace maids, eunuchs, guards or officials of my Ming Dynasty."
Chen Xixiang raised the Taoist Flying Sword in his hand and calmly stated the choice he gave them:
"As you become officials of our Ming Dynasty, you are naturally qualified to enter and leave the Forbidden City."
What?
After hearing what Chen Xixiang said, the expressions of all the martial arts masters present changed dramatically.
"this……"
Sikong Zhaixing immediately shouted in his heart:
"You actually want to take us as your subordinates!"
People in the martial arts world have always despised the imperial hawks, and they even looked down upon those martial arts students who surrendered to the imperial court, believing that they had lost the freedom and pride of martial arts practitioners.
He was immediately ready to refuse angrily, saying that you might as well kill us.
But before he opened his mouth, he actually saw that the more than 20 experts present were silent, and many of them showed hesitation in their expressions.
This discovery made Sikong Zhaixing's whole body feel cold all of a sudden.
Obviously, not everyone in this world is not afraid of death.
On the contrary, the majority of people are afraid of death.
Especially after peerless masters such as Ye Gucheng, Gong Jiu, Little Old Man, and Zhu Wuli were all killed in the hands of the current emperor like chickens and dogs.
None of these masters are afraid of the emperor now, are not afraid of him, and do not want to survive.
What made him even more desperate was.
"Even Lu Xiaofeng..."
Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng were hesitant and did not immediately express strong dissatisfaction and opposition.
This is because half of the people standing here today are Lu Xiaofeng's good friends. If he were the only one, he would never hesitate and would flatly refuse. But now he is not the only one whose life is in the emperor's hands.
But Sikong Zhaixing knew that there was one person who would never agree.
This person is...
Ximen Chuixue!
Sure enough, after Sikong Zhaixing looked at the man in white standing in the corner of the hall, who was as cold as a snow mountain.
Ximen Chuixue looked at Chen Xixiang with a bright light.
It was the passion of a swordsman for a powerful opponent, but his voice was as cold as snow. He did not say whether he wanted to agree to this condition, but instead said slowly:
"I learned swordsmanship at the age of seven. I became successful in seven years. When I was thirty, I finally achieved something. But I didn't want to see your majesty's sword today, and then I realized what is beyond the mountains and the sky beyond the sky."
"Although Ye Gucheng is dead, he died happily. If a swordsman can die under your majesty's sword skills, wouldn't it be the greatest blessing, and so do you."
When Chen Xixiang heard this, he felt a little melancholy in his heart. He looked at Ximen Chuixue and said lightly:
"You can imitate Ye Gucheng if you want, but today I really don't want to kill anyone anymore, so I can keep it for you if you ask for it."
He looked at Lu Xiaofeng, Mu Daoren and others again:
"The same goes for you. I don't intend to ask you to respond today."
Chen Xixiang said:
"Cao Zhengchun, temporarily place these heroes in a place in the palace. Whenever they figure it out, they can come to you."
Having said this.
He threw the sword to Cao Zhengchun and landed at his feet:
"I'm tired today, Yun Luo, please take me back to the palace."
Naturally, he casually said that he was tired from these few battles. It was just to give these people some time to think about it. After all, he wanted to conquer them, so he needed to take his time.
And he also needs to go back and digest the zhenqi that he has swallowed for hundreds of years. That's all for tonight.
"Well, Brother Emperor."
After hearing Chen Xixiang's words, Princess Yunluo ran over and followed Chen Xixiang.
She had simply experienced the most exciting night in her life today. She had something to ask the emperor, and she no longer wanted to stay in a place like this.
The sword inserted under Cao Zhengchun's feet was like white jade and red, not like a sword, but like a living person.
Cao Zhengchun's old face turned red, and he immediately understood the meaning of the sword given to him by the emperor.
With this sword in hand, he didn't even need the Imperial City's imperial guards. He could obediently make these rebellious masters dare not step out of his surveillance range and be detained in the palace obediently.
Shang Fang’s sword!
And it is a spiritual sword of Shangfang.
Cao Zhengchun, who held the sword respectfully in his hand, opened his voice, bowed down with all his body on the ground, and spoke in a long and drawn-out voice:
"I respectfully send you to your Majesty."
Watching the emperor's leaving figure.
However, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing and other martial arts masters did not relax as Chen Xixiang left. Instead, they all looked at the sword in Cao Zhengchun's hand and did not dare to breathe.
Should I live as a dog or be killed as a human?
Obviously, they must make a decision, otherwise no one will be able to live without them.
…………
Tap tap tap~
The rhythmic clashing of weapons and armor was dense.
Walking out of the Wen Building, the Imperial Palace Imperial Guards retreated in an orderly manner under the command of the four famous arresters.
First, people from the Queen Mother's palace came to report that the Queen Mother was not in danger in the palace, but she was knocked unconscious.
"Let the Queen Mother rest first. I will visit her another day."
Chen Xixiang asked the person who reported back to stand down.
The Queen Mother was fine, as Chen Xixiang had expected.
After all, the original purpose of the little old man Gong Jiu and others was to take Fengyan's place and replace him without anyone noticing, so it was naturally impossible for him to kill the Queen Mother.
Princess Yunluo was also relieved. After all, the Queen Mother was her biological mother, and her nervous and red eyes slowly returned to normal.
After knowing that the Queen Mother was fine, Yun Luo regained his cheerful personality along the way, and felt that tonight's encounter was so bizarre that it was even more legendary than the stories about rivers and lakes that he had heard.
So it is inevitable to break the casserole and ask the truth, and keep asking some things.
For example, when did Brother Emperor become so powerful...
She didn't even know when she had developed such a peerless martial arts!
Chen Xixiang put his hands behind his back and smiled:
"I said, if you want to practice martial arts, I will teach you."
"Great! I also want to be a great master like the emperor brother, no, a great swordsman!"
Yun Luo was very excited.
Soon, the two returned to the harem.
"Brother Emperor, please rest early. You must be tired after going through all these battles today."
Yun Luo expressed concern.
"It's nothing, I won't disturb Brother Emperor."
He said goodbye.
But when Chen Xixiang entered the palace with his hands behind his back, he smiled at Yun Luo and said:
"No, I really need your help with something."
Yun Luo's eyes brightened when he heard that such a powerful emperor brother actually asked for help, and he immediately said without hesitation:
"Whatever it is, just say it."
Chen Xixiang thought about his memory and said:
"Do you still remember that Concubine Shu gave you a little mermaid pearl before she died of illness? There is something there that I will need to use in a while."
"Mermaid...little pearl..."
Princess Yunluo was a little confused when she first heard about it. She couldn't help but scratch her hair, but some impressions immediately came to her mind. Although she had forgotten where the bead was, she immediately patted her chest and said:
"Of course I remember this. Brother Emperor, don't worry, I will get it for you tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter tomorrow. I have to be in seclusion for a while. You can go to the harem to spend more time with the Queen Mother during this time. You can bring it over when I come out of seclusion."
Chen Xixiang smiled, and after saying that, there was nothing else to do. Princess Yunluo nodded her head as if to promise, and immediately left Taiyuan Palace.
After Princess Yunluo left.
Chen Xixiang's eyes fell on the two guards outside the palace, and he made a move:
"In the past few days of my retreat, I have asked people to go to the Tianlao to conduct a strict inspection to see if a young man named Cheng Shifei has been imprisoned in the Tianlao. If so, he will be taken out of the Tianlao and imprisoned in another place. Wait for me to deal with it after I leave the customs."
The guard hesitated slightly: "What if not?"
Chen Xixiang's eyes swept away lightly: "Then go to the major gambling halls in the capital and find this person for me."
"yes!"
The guards received the order, bowed respectfully, and then went down.
Chen Xixiang stood outside Taiyuan Palace, looking at the moonlight tonight, putting his thoughts away, and turned around to retreat inside the palace.
