On August 15th, at dusk, a bright full moon slowly rose, and the wind gradually became cooler.
In the courtyard, Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing were looking at each other affectionately. They were in deep love and said goodbye.
Xue Bing had already sensed from the attitudes of Zhao Mingyuan and Gongsun Lan that there must be something behind this duel, and even just watching the battle would be accompanied by danger.
However, she understood Lu Xiaofeng's mood even more. She knew that she could never stop him, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
But Lu Xiaofeng knew that there must be a lot of shady secrets behind this duel.
He had noticed a clue from several people who should not have died, as if someone was planning something big.
I don’t know what will happen if I go, but I must not not go.
Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's determined look, Xue Bing understood in her heart that a smart woman would never become a stumbling block for a man, but would only tie a thread in his heart. No matter how high he flies, there is always something in his heart.
Therefore, Xue Bing stopped trying to persuade her and just said to Lu Xiaofeng: "You must come back, I'll wait for you!"
I'm waiting for you.
If a man knows that a woman is waiting for him, nothing can replace that feeling.
I'm waiting for you.
What a gentle and beautiful three words.
Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be drunk. It was not the wine that made him drunk, but her affection that was stronger than wine.
It's a pity that Zhao Mingyuan does not have such a blessing.
Gongsun Lan just said to him: "I'm here to guard you, don't worry."
Xu Shi saw that Zhao Mingyuan was a little disappointed, and Gongsun Lan suddenly said to him quietly: "This is the closest place to the palace. If there is an accident inside, come here to meet up. We can leave the capital together, and no one will be able to find us. of."
Zhao Mingyuan's eyes shone brightly, and his hard work finally paid off.
Zhao Mingyuan was about to say all the things he had been holding in his heart for a long time, but found that Gongsun Lan had already entered the room.
Alas, I didn’t expect that she was still a shy girl.
Originally, Zhao Mingyuan thought that she had experienced a lot. After all, Gongsun Lan was already twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old. For people of this era, she was old enough to be a grandmother.
But for Zhao Mingyuan, this age is just right, and each age group has its own beauty.
Gongsun Lan's figure is more attractive than a girl's, not to mention her superb disguise skills.
However, looking at her now, it seems that she is still very innocent in some aspects.
I hope this is not her acting skills, but her real appearance.
The jade plate-like full moon passed through the clouds, and its faint moonlight spread over the earth.
Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Mingyuan stepped out of the door of Yuelai Inn under the watery moonlight.
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but look back, but happened to see Gongsun Lan looking down at the window.
The two people's eyes met, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but smile, and then turned around and left with satisfaction.
This Yuelai Inn is located near the Forbidden City.
The two arrived within a few steps.
Torches, lanterns, bonfires and other lighting objects had already been lit on the top of the city, illuminating the surrounding area as brightly as daylight, and even the moon hanging in the sky was dimmed a bit.
There were strict guards along the way, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. There is more likely to be a master of Ouchi's bodyguards lurking in the dark.
If the two of them didn't wear this kind of discolored ribbon, they wouldn't have thought of going too far.
Even if the two of them were wearing color-changing ribbons, people would not be allowed to walk around in the forbidden area of the palace. The two followed the guard's guidance and soon arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was the place where the emperor summoned ministers for court meetings on weekdays. It was naturally the highest palace among the imperial palaces.
Looking up, the atmosphere is even more solemn, and the gleaming ridge of the palace seems to stand in the clouds.
An inexplicable majesty filled the surroundings, making people not only unable to laugh anymore, but even breathing lighter. The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the majesty of the ninth emperor makes people dare not commit frivolous offenses.
Even people like Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be affected and became quiet.
Zhao Mingyuan is no exception.
However, feeling such an atmosphere, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly thought that he could give it a try if he had the chance.
The emperor takes turns and comes to my house next year.
Zhao Mingyuan calculated in his mind that with the knowledge in his mind that transcended this era, he would plant fields for decades and climb a technological tree.
Then, when the country decays and declines, they will rise up. It is not difficult for me to shake things up and make new ones.
Anyway, I am already immortal, so I am not afraid of wasting time.
However, Zhao Mingyuan smiled.
As expected, I still have the mentality of a time traveler. After immortality, I look down on ordinary people, even the imperial power.
In my heart, I felt that I could do anything.
It’s so impetuous!
This is obviously not what I want. It is just a little influence from the outside world. If I plan to spend decades running it, it is too easy to go astray.
Just because I don’t have a firm goal!
If a person has no direction to move forward, then no matter where he goes, it will be the same to him.
I don't want to become a pervert like Emperor Shitian, it's too ugly.
It seems that I need to find a way to solve this problem quickly.
The moon is as bright as water.
Soon, other people watching the battle also arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After all, sword practitioners must not miss a competition like this that happens once in a century, so they all came early.
Soon, Monk Lao Shi, Tang Tianzong, and Sikong Zhaixing were all in place, and Taoist Mu was also there, but Sima Ziyi didn't come.
Mu Taoren explained: "Master Sima was in a hurry to return to Jiangnan for something, but he gave the ribbon to me."
Lu Xiaofeng understood Sima Ziyi's mood. He was arrogant and arrogant, but he lost to himself in the competition. But instead, he was given a ribbon by himself. Unable to bear such a big blow, he naturally had no face to see Lu Xiaofeng again.
What's strange is that people are still arriving one after another.
However, now that the six ribbons are here, how did others get in?
Bu Ju, the "Open Heaven Palm", belongs to the twenty-six gangs of thieves in the Zhenchuan and Hunan area. He is a quick-witted and leader.
He once used three pieces of jade to exchange for a ribbon from Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng is a knowledgeable person. Of course he could see that each of the three crystal-clear, round and flawless pieces of jade was a priceless treasure.
But even so, Lu Xiaofeng did not agree.
Now, Bu Ju walked up to Lu Xiaofeng in a swaggering manner. Under the moonlight, the ribbon on his chest suddenly turned purple and then turned silvery white.
Lu Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned ugly because he discovered that the ribbon on Bu Ju's chest was exactly the same as the one on his body.
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask Bu Ju where his ribbon came from, but looking at his face, it didn't look like he would answer her.
More than a dozen strange strangers arrived. Judging from their auras, they were masters, and their bodies revealed bloody murderous aura. They all looked like desperadoes.
However, they also have ribbons.
What's even more strange is that none of these experts present actually know each other.
There seemed to be a huge shadow covering the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Everyone noticed the unusual aura, and their hearts sank.
Something must have happened!
