September 15th, dusk.
The sunset is gorgeous and the sky is filled with colorful clouds.
Today is the time for the decisive battle between two peerless swordsmen.
The decisive battle took place in the Forbidden City, and not many people were qualified to watch this decisive battle.
Lu Xiaofeng happens to be one.
Stepping under the setting sun, he entered Donghua Gate, Longzong Gate, turned to the Meridian Gate under the Dragon Tower and Phoenix Tower, and finally arrived at the forbidden land within the forbidden land, the city within the city.
There are patrol guards guarding the place every three steps and one sentry every five steps. Without this color-changing ribbon, it would be very difficult for anyone to break in. Even if they could get in here, they would never be able to take another step.
Lu Xiaofeng could already feel an invisible pressure rushing towards her face.
This is the palace, the residence of the emperor.
A political order issued here can lead to countless lives and deaths.
Even if he was a free and uninhibited prodigal, he would never dare to be so unrestrained here.
"Lu Xiaofeng." At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and couldn't help but feel happy: "Huamanlou, why are you here?"
Hua Manlou smiled slightly and said: "Today is a duel between two great swordsmen, how could I not come?"
Lu Xiaofeng wondered: "But how did you get the ribbon? I didn't see you in the ring yesterday."
Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Of course I have my own methods, but Qingyilou made a big move yesterday. The arena was set up to select the martial arts masters with the best martial arts, the best swordsmanship, the most wealth, the best eloquence, and the most popular people. Five people from Guangzhou.”
Lu Xiaofeng snorted: "Everyone who participates must pay one hundred taels of silver. I see that boy in Yu Liancheng is obviously crazy about money."
"But this time the event was very successful, everyone was very satisfied, and the five people selected were also very convincing."
Huamanlou smiled and said: "I think if the people in Qingyi Tower are not stupid, they will hold it every three or five years. I have to say that Mr. Yu is indeed a genius."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "You are very satisfied with the arena, but you seem to be very dissatisfied with me. You have to praise Yu Boy every time we meet. Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Huamanlou shrugged and changed the topic: "By the way, I heard that you have been moving around and inquiring about information in the past two days. Did you encounter any trouble?"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and then told everyone what he had investigated in the past few days, and said: "I think there may be a conspiracy hidden in this decisive battle, and it is a shocking conspiracy."
Huamanlou thought for a moment and said: "The Forbidden City is heavily guarded. No matter what conspiracy or trick there is, it is difficult to realize it. What's more, this matter is not your concern."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's what I said..."
"You like to make trouble for yourself every time there is no trouble. No matter what, I will support you. If you need my help, you can always ask me."
Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled: "No matter what, we can't solve the case just standing here. Let's go in first."
"Okay, that's right."
…
…………
The bright moon has risen.
The moon is very big and round.
The moonlight is beautiful and intoxicating.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is located inside the Gate of Supreme Harmony. The river with golden water and jade belt outside the Gate of Supreme Harmony looks like a golden belt with jade belt under the moonlight.
A carriage was driving slowly inside the palace.
There were three men in the carriage and two swords.
Prince Nan rubbed his thigh with his palm, feeling a little uneasy.
Although this matter has been planned for a long time and is as seamless as possible, this matter is too big. Once he succeeds, he will be the Nine-Five Lord, supreme.
But if he fails, not only will his life be at risk, but the entire Nanwang Mansion will be implicated.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ye Gucheng was dressed in white and looked as cold and aloof as ever, with no fluctuation in his expression.
It seemed to him that what they had to do was just eat and drink.
It was just that the palms placed on the knees were slightly exerted, and the knuckles turned white.
In any case, his heart is not as equal as it seems.
He is still a human being after all.
Yu Liancheng yawned, he was quite calm about this matter.
Although he was not involved in this matter in the early stage, his appearance changed the matter to some extent.
Even if Lu Xiaofeng could guess the truth of the matter, it would be too late.
Even if this thing fails, with his Qinggong and sword skills, he can easily escape from the palace without any danger to his life. However, Qingyi Tower will be suppressed by the imperial court and will never recover.
For him, this is both a big gamble and a fun game.
Prince Nan glanced at Yu Liancheng and couldn't help but said: "Sir, are you not nervous or scared at all?"
"Yes, it's not much, but it's a little bit." Yu Liancheng said with a smile: "It's just that in front of others, I always like to pretend to be calm and calm."
Prince Nan laughed dumbly: "Sir...sir is so open-minded."
Yu Liancheng looked at Crown Prince Nan, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Prince, it doesn't matter whether I pretend or not, it's just a matter of face. But you must learn to pretend, whether now or in the future."
Prince Nan said: "Oh?"
"The whole thing is based on you. You are the key to the success or failure of the plan. And City Lord Ye and I are just two sharp swords to assist you. In a certain way, you are now our boss, boss If you are not confident, how can the people below have confidence?"
Yu Liancheng solemnly said: "After the matter is completed, you will be the boss of the imperial court when you sit in that position, and everyone in the world will look at your face. So... no matter how nervous or scared you are, at least you must learn to pretend and look on the surface. Get up and plan your strategy, never panic.”
Prince Nan thought for a moment and bowed his head to Yulian City: "Sir, what you said is true. The little king has learned a lesson."
Yu Liancheng picked up the jug next to him and poured a glass of wine: "If you are really nervous, you might as well drink a glass of wine. But before important events, don't drink too much."
Prince Nan drank a glass of wine, rubbed his hands vigorously, and took a long breath in and out.
After seven or eight breaths like this, he was able to remain stable, with no trace of nervousness.
At least that's how it looks on the surface.
Boom, boom, boom! !
This is the footsteps of the Imperial Guard.
Neat and majestic, it surges in like a tide and then gradually dissipates.
The carriage rumbled along, and the window was covered with thick cotton. No one could see through the cotton to see what was going on outside.
suddenly.
The carriage stopped, and an old and wrinkled hand lifted the curtain.
A eunuch who looked like an old woman and spoke like an old woman stood outside the door and whispered: "Your Highness, Lord Yecheng and Lord Yulou have arrived."
The curtain of the drama slowly opens!
