The majestic and solemn palace looked particularly gloomy and deep under the pressure of clouds as thick as lead in the sky.
In the north of the palace, in the Zichen Hall, the young Song Zhezong was sitting on the throne, with his eyes half open and half closed. Occasionally, the light flashing in his eyes revealed an indifferent emotion, making it impossible to guess what he was feeling at this moment. Feeling.
Those standing before His Highness were all the most powerful civil and military officials of the dynasty. The civil officials were headed by Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, and Lu Huiqing, and the military attachés were headed by Wang Hou and Wang Zhan. They were divided into two groups in an orderly manner.
In the midst of everyone's solemn silence, rapid footsteps came from outside the palace. A chamberlain hurriedly walked into the palace, came to the eunuch in charge of serving Zhe Zong, and said something.
The chief eunuch held his breath and came to Zhe Zong's side and whispered: "Guan family, people are here."
Zhe Zong opened his eyes slightly, looked outside the hall, and spat out one word: "Xuan!"
The eunuch in charge bowed and took a few steps back, and then shouted loudly toward the outside of the palace: "Announce your visit to Song Dynasty through the Six Gates!"
The next moment, Song Xing and the pale-faced Qin Hanlin stepped into the palace, bowed to Zhe Zong and said: "I, Pingjiang Prefecture Jinzhang, arrest the head Song Xing to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"No gift."
Qin Hanlin stepped forward and replied: "Guan Jia, the traitor Wang Yipu has been killed by the slaves and Song Jinzhang."
There was cold murderous intent in Zhe Zong's eyes, and a cold voice came from his mouth: "Song Xing!"
"I'm here!"
"I will appoint you as the leader of the Six Gates and command the Six Gates. I want you to cleanse all the rebels in the Six Gates of the capital within three days, leaving no one behind."
"I accept the decree!"
The top commander of the Six Gates turned out to be an internal agent of the Xiaoyao Sect. When this news was reported to Zhe Zong through Lu Huiqing, Zhe Zong was furious.
The Imperial City Division and Liumen are the two most trusted organizations by the emperor. Now that Liumen has been infiltrated to such an extent, how can Zhe Zong sleep peacefully in the Imperial City.
Only Lu Huiqing, a minister whom he trusted from the beginning, recommended Song Xing to make Zhezong feel a little relieved. In addition, Song Xing provided the information this time, and the Xiaoyao faction's conspiracy was also exposed because of Song Xing. Zhezong immediately arranged for Song Xing to become Six doors lifted, six doors cleaned.
That night, a large number of imperial guards poured in from the six gates of the capital, arresting everyone who was related to Wang Yipu. If they encountered resistance, they would be killed without mercy.
In the age of imperial power, the emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.
The brutal bloodbath lasted until the early morning of the next day. A large number of Liumen arrestees were arrested and imprisoned, and were tortured and questioned whether they participated in Wang Yipu's rebellion.
In the early morning of the next day, Song Xing, who had initially taken control of the six gates, went to the palace with Lu Huiqing to meet Zhe Zong as soon as the palace gate opened.
After a night of buffering, Zhe Zong was no longer as angry as yesterday, and even showed a gentle smile when he saw Lu Huiqing.
"I've been busy all night, so I'll serve tea to Lu Qing and Song Qing, sit down and talk slowly."
The chamberlain quickly brought the steaming tea, and Lu Huiqing took it carefully. After thanking him, he said, "I have informed the officials that all the traitors related to Wang Yipu of the Six Gates have been arrested. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are interrogating them."
Zhezong pondered for a moment and said: "Let the Imperial City Division, together with the Dali Temple of the Criminal Division, and the three divisions jointly investigate, find out everything behind Wang Yipu's background for me. Anyone in the court who has close contacts with Wang Yipu will be investigated strictly by me."
After seeing the two of them solemnly accepting their orders, Zhezong asked Song Xing again: "Is there the whereabouts of the traitor Pan Lang in the six gates?"
When he thought that Pan Lang had been plotting to overthrow the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, Zhezong suddenly became angry again.
Song Xing returned: "Reporting to the official family, Pan Lang has disappeared since thirty years ago. Now that Wang Yipu's conspiracy has been discovered by the court, I speculate that he may be in charge of Dali, Xixia and other places to stir up trouble again. The six gates have been Send people to Tianshan to keep an eye on every move of Lingjiu Palace."
Zhe Zong said with some annoyance: "Can the imperial court just wait passively and not take the initiative?"
Song Xing added: "I do have a suspect, who may be related to Pan Lang."
Zhe Zong sat down and looked down: "Who is he?"
Song Xing lowered his head and looked at the ground three feet in front of his feet and said: "According to the investigation, the thief Murong Bo faked his death and escaped thirty years ago. He has been hiding in Songshan Shaolin for thirty years."
"Back then, Murong Bo falsely claimed that Khitan warriors attacked Shaolin and caused the tragedy at Yanmen Pass in order to cause a dispute between Song and Liao. Now that I think about it, there may be shadows of the Xiaoyao sect behind it, so I guess that Xiaoyaozi has not shown up for thirty years. Maybe It’s related to Shaolin.”
According to Wu Yazi, Xiaoyaozi's martial arts cultivation was earth-shattering. Even if Song Xing had absorbed the true energy for seventy years and coupled with his own astonishing cultivation, he still might not be able to stop Xiaoyaozi.
Song Xingming's Yugong Zhenqi was converted into Beiming Zhenqi, and he absorbed the skills of Murong Bo and Wu Yazi. The skills on his body are almost as good as Xu Zhu who absorbed the three elders Xiaoyao in the original plot.
Even so, Wu Yazi still believed that Song Xing was no match for Xiaoyaozi. It was conceivable that Xiaoyaozi's martial arts was already on the ceiling of the Tianlong world.
This made Song Xing have to think of another ceiling in Tianlong.
Shaolin sweeping monk!
When he heard that Xiaoyaozi was still alive, Song Xing even suspected that the sweeping monk was the incarnation of Xiaoyaozi, but he quickly overturned this suspicion.
Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan were both chess pieces secretly laid out by Xiaoyaozi. If Xiaoyaozi was really a sweeping monk, it would have been impossible for him to remain indifferent while watching the two of them hide in Shaolin for thirty years.
This time Song Xing spoke to Zhe Zong and pointed the finger at Shaolin. The real reason was to leave for the sweeping monk.
You must know that he still has two stealing cards on his body. When he met a master like Murong Bo Qiaofeng before, he refrained from using them just to use them on the sweeping monk.
The three-foot Qi wall is like cheating in the world of martial arts.
In the world of Tianlong, although the true energy can be released externally, the true energy of things like the Six Meridians Divine Sword is actually out of control after it leaves the body. It is better than Duan Yu, Qiao Feng and others, where the true energy in the body can really control the separation. The distance between their bodies is only a few inches or less than a foot.
Shooting out a dragon with one palm is fantasy, not martial arts.
In the original plot, Qiao Feng fought against the sweeping monk, but he could really feel the power of the three-foot wall of energy in front of the sweeping monk. This kind of move was also a martial art that Song Xing wanted to steal.
Song Xing has never understood, what is the real reason why Xiaoyaozi disappeared for thirty years?
According to Wu Yazi, Xiaoyaozi's various arrangements back then have come to an end, and they are only waiting for a certain opportunity. Once launched, it is really possible for him to succeed another day.
In that case, there was absolutely no reason for him to suddenly disappear and leave a mess behind.
If there was anyone in the martial arts world who could stop Xiaoyaozi at that time, perhaps it was the sweeping monk.
Therefore, whether it is for the martial arts of the sweeping monk or to find out the whereabouts of Xiaoyaozi, Song Xing must turn his attention to Shaolin.
When Zhe Zong heard the word Shaolin, he couldn't help but frown. He looked at Song Xing who was hanging his head, thought for a while and said, "Will the Beggar Clan go to Shaolin soon?"
Song Xing nodded: "In the battle of Juxian Village, many people were killed or injured because of Shaolin's intervention. The Beggar Gang is also planning to go to Shaolin to ask for an explanation because of Qiao Feng's incident."
Zhe Zong said: "In that case, you should also bring people over to make things bigger. I want to see what role Shaolin plays behind this."
