In the Heaven's Secret Tower, the group of Jianghu dignitaries were still discussing endlessly.
Although Luo Ma's cultivation base was similar to Zuo Lengchan and Cheng Kun, his status was far beyond them.
Although the rank of the Six Fan School's arresters in the imperial court was not high, they were actually very powerful because they specialized in Jianghu disputes.
Just this identity alone was enough to make many martial arts experts hesitate.
After all, the people do not fight with the government.
Even top sects like Wudang and Shaolin would never want to bear the crime of killing an official of the imperial court.
Another crucial point was that Luo Ma was the disciple of the chief constable of Six Fan School, Guo Juxia.
This Guo Juxia was a legendary figure in Great Ming.
From a nobody in the market, he worked hard step by step and finally became a well-known chief constable of the Six Fan School.
There were even rumors that Guo Juxia would soon be promoted to the position of a junior official of the Supreme Court.
Now, it was suddenly revealed that Guo Juxia's disciple, Luo Ma, was the mastermind behind the Datong banknote forgery case.
This undoubtedly had a major impact on Guo Juxia's promotion.
Moreover, Guo Juxia was a person who valued friendship very much. He would never allow people in the martial arts world to hunt and kill Luo Ma.
Such a scheme.
It was not easy to kill Lorne.
First, he had to defeat Guo Juxia.
Secondly, he would offend the Ming court.
Many of the forces present discussed for a while before shaking their heads and choosing to give up.
Of course, there were always bold people in this world.
Silently, many people quietly left the Heaven's Secret Tower.
Or go back and prepare a plan.
Or the scouts of the various factions who wanted to return to report the situation.
……
The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, the Imperial Palace.
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, was sitting behind the dragon table, listening to Zhang Han's report on what he had seen in the Heaven's Secret Tower.
The person in charge of delivering the Heaven's Secret Tower's intelligence was the Shadow Secret Guard led by Zhang Han.
"Nine Spirit Melting Snow Herb?"
"What is the use of this item?"
"Tell Zhao Gao to ignore Luo Ma and focus on tracking down Cheng Kun.”
"I must obtain the Longevity Extending Pill.”
Ying Zheng said coldly.
"Your Majesty."
"Lord Zhao also sent back information yesterday.”
"They said that they have already discovered Cheng Kun's location. He's in the Ruyang Palace of the Meng Country.”
"However, Prince Ruyang is guarding Runan Border Pass and has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under him.”
"Moreover, the layers of guards in the Imperial Residence are extremely tight.”
"Lord Zhao believes that it is very difficult to infiltrate Ruyang Mansion with the power of the net alone.”
Zhang Han reported in detail.
Although he and Zhao Gao had never gotten along, he also felt that the difficulty of this mission was too great.
No matter how strong the Network was, they were only a few martial arts experts after all.
Besides having a large number of Jianghu experts and thirty thousand armored soldiers, Ruyang Mansion could also mobilize hundreds of thousands of border soldiers at any time.
Even if they used the human wave tactic, they could still drag Zhao Gao and his group to death.
"No one can stop me from getting what I want.”
"No matter who stands in my way, I will eliminate them all.”
"Pass the order to Meng Tian."
"Tell him to immediately enter the palace to see me."
Ying Zheng said in an extremely domineering manner.
Meng Tian?
Could it be that His Majesty was going to mobilize troops?
Zhang Han's mind was filled with thoughts, but he didn't ask and directly left.
He knew very well that no one could change Ying Zheng's decision.
……
Tang Empire, Phoenix Ceremony Hall.
The commander of the Feng Luan Guards, Shangguan Wan 'er, quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully,"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the spies who have infiltrated the Heaven's Secret Tower have returned with information that the eighth place on the list of behind-the-scenes masterminds has been announced.”
"Let me take a look.“
Behind the screen, a figure flashed past, revealing Empress Wu Zetian's figure.
Her black hair was like clouds, with a nine-phoenix hairpin on it. She was wearing a brocade robe made of jade, and she was as holy as a divine lotus.
The only imperfection was that on her beautiful face, one could vaguely see the hardships of time, causing her perfection to have a slight flaw.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Wu Meiniang, the number one beauty of the Great Tang Empire and the most beautiful empress, could not resist the corrosion of time.
Of course, no one dared to say such bold words.
Shangguan Wan 'er only thought about it in her heart.
"Nine Spirit Melting Snow Herb?"
Wu Zetian, who was originally calm, was moved for the first time after reading the introduction of the Nine Spirit Melting Snow Herb.
"Impossible!"
"How can there be a divine medicine in this world that can restore one's youth?”
"Zhen doesn't believe it!"
Wu Zetian's first reaction was doubt.
In order to maintain her appearance, Wu Zetian had expended countless resources.
The country's treasures still could not retain their splendor.
Now, he was telling her that she could regain her youth as long as she consumed a piece of lingzhi?
How could Wu Zetian believe this?
Shangguan Wan 'er said," Your Majesty, this humble subject has no intention of offending you. However, this humble subject believes that the Heaven's Secret Tower's items should not be fake.”
These words reminded Wu Zetian.
That's right.
This wasn't a trick of a martial arts practitioner to swindle others, but rather, it came from the Heaven's Secret Tower.
"In that case, I still have a chance to return to my youthful appearance?”
Wu Zetian was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
Shangguan Wan 'er said," If you want to get the Nine Spirits Melting Snow Herb, you must first complete the Heaven's Secrets Challenge. I'm afraid it won't be easy."”
"Hmm, you're right."
After all, Wu Zetian was the empress of a generation and was in charge of the rise and fall of the empire. She quickly calmed down.
"Luo Ma committed a great crime and deserved to die.”
"But he is the constable of the Six Fan School after all.”
"How about this, I will write a letter and you will bring it to Emperor Ming.”
"Tell Emperor Ming that I owe him a favor this time.”
Wu Zetian was decisive. She quickly wrote a letter in a flamboyant manner and handed it to Shangguan Wan 'er after sealing it.
"This matter cannot be exposed. You must personally deliver the letter to Emperor Ming.”
Seeing Shangguan Wan 'er take the letter, Wu Zetian reminded her.
Shangguan Wan 'er naturally knew the crux of the matter. She nodded solemnly and took her leave.
……
Darming Empire, Six Fan School Headquarters, Meeting Hall.
Luo Ma knelt in the hall and said in a panic," I know I was wrong. I beg Master to save my life."”
"Save your life?"
"Do you know how many people in the martial arts world want your life now?”
The head of the meeting hall, a burly man in official robes, said sternly.
This person was the famous chief constable of Six Fan School, Guo Juxia.
Although he spoke sternly, there was a sense of disappointment in his voice.
If it was someone else, he wouldn't have asked any more questions. He would have just done his job.
However, he had watched Loma grow up since he was young and raised him single-handedly.
He had even thought of betrothing his only daughter, Guo Furong, to Luo Ma.
How could he have the heart to kill a disciple like this who he treated like his own son?
