Shangguan Haitang was a smart person, so she immediately reacted to Zhu Bujue's words.
"Father, you mean that His Majesty is here too? Right beside Liu Xi?"
Shangguan Haitang almost cried out in shock. This was simply too unbelievable.
"Who else can make Liu Xi so respectful except the current emperor?" Zhu Budian said calmly.”
"That's true."
Shangguan Haitang quickly calmed down and nodded, indicating that she agreed with Zhu Bujue's words.
In the Ming Dynasty, the East Chamber had great authority and only obeyed Emperor Ming. Even a first-grade official could be arrested at will.
Other than Emperor Ming, no one else could make Liu Xi bend his knees to that extent.
"Godfather, why is His Majesty doing nothing?”
"Luoma was robbed in public, it damaged the face of our Great Ming, and also the face of His Majesty.”
Shangguan Haitang could not understand why Emperor Ming would do this.
"As a subject, it is taboo to try to figure out the emperor's intentions.”
"We only need to listen to orders.”
"Since His Majesty has chosen to do this, he naturally has his reasons.”
Zhu Budian said seriously.
Shangguan Haitang was shocked and quickly said,""Godfather is right. Haitang knows her mistake.”
"Yes."
"The outcome of this battle has already been decided. There's no need to continue watching.”
"Tomorrow is the day when the list of behind-the-scenes people will be updated. This time, you should personally make a trip to the Heaven's Secret Tower.”
"So far, the three masterminds announced on the list are each worse than the other. As law-enforcement officers, we have no choice but to investigate.”
Zhu Budian ordered.
"Yes, I will." Shangguan Haitang nodded.”
……
In a private room on the top floor of another restaurant not far away.
A young man in a jade brocade robe sat in front of a table, enjoying the delicious food while watching the battlefield.
This person was the current Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, Emperor Ming Zhu Houzhao.
Seeing Guo Juxia being beaten back, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaim,
"I didn't expect this bad marshal Yuan Tiangang to be so powerful. Guo Aiqing doesn't seem to be his match at all.”
Liu Xi stood at the side and whispered,""Your Majesty, you have a good eye. Guo Juxia should be defeated within 20 moves.”
"Supervisor Liu, if you were to come, do you have the confidence to deal with this Yuan Tiangang?”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked curiously.
"This…"
Liu Xi hesitated for a moment and looked at the battle on the battlefield.
Dust and sand were flying in the battlefield of Xi City. Only two figures could be vaguely seen fighting each other. It was difficult to tell who was who.
However, Liu Xi's cultivation base allowed him to see the battlefield very clearly.
When Yuan Tiangang was fighting, he had one hand behind his back from beginning to end.
In other words, he only used one hand to beat Guo Juxia until he could not fight back.
"Your Majesty."
"If it were any other lieutenant among the delinquents, this old servant is confident that I can deal with him.”
"But the bad marshal Yuan Tiangang is an exception.”
"This person's strength can only be described as 'unfathomable.”
"It's said that the bad marshal has destroyed countless sects in the Great Tang and has never once suffered defeat. In fact, no one has been able to force him to fight with his full strength.”
"If this old servant were to fight him, then this old servant would most likely be defeated.”
Liu Xi said honestly.
He had to be honest. Yuan Tiangang was right in front of him.
If Zhu Houzhao had a sudden impulse to ask him to go up and fight, then he would be dumbfounded.
"I didn't expect Yuan Tiangang to be so powerful. No wonder the Tang Emperor was so confident in him.”
"But my Big Ming has four sets of factory guards. Is there no one who is his match?”
Zhu Houzhao said indignantly.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty," Liu Xi said. In this old servant's opinion, the Divine Overlord's cultivation should not be below Yuan Tiangang's.”
"That's true," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile. He has never failed to do what I have ordered the Divine Marquis to do.”
As the two of them were talking, Guo Juxia had already been completely defeated and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hand Luoma over to the bad guys?" Liu Xi asked. That heavenly secret reward was a good thing.”
"Forget it."
"Since the Tang Emperor personally wrote to me, I will give her some face.”
"As for the Heaven Secrets reward, 2000 Heaven Secrets points can't do anything. That Nine Spirit Melting Snow Herb is even more useless.”
"Only the Tang Emperor would be interested in such things.”
"That's why women are still women no matter how high they sit. They can't compare to us men.”
"No, you're not a man anymore, haha…"
Zhu Houzhao said heartlessly.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Xi could only smile apologetically at the side, but a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes.
……
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, only a day had passed.
The next morning, before dawn, a group of Jianghu dignitaries rushed to the golden stone tablet and waited.
Because today was the day the Mastermind Ranking was updated.
Experience told them that there would definitely be a large number of people pouring in today. If they entered late, there would be no seats left.
"Eh?"
"F * ck, Lorne's name disappeared!”
"No way. Isn't Luo Ma protected by Guo Juxia?”
"There's no name on the Mastermind List. It seems like he was killed too. He didn't even last three days.”
"I didn't expect that even Guo Juxia couldn't protect Luoma.”
"I wonder who is so bold as to dare to rob and kill Luo Ma. This is a bad relationship with the Ming court.”
……
The group of Jianghu dignitaries discussed animatedly. They did not expect to run into such big news before entering the Heaven's Secret Tower.
"The Heaven's Secret Tower has opened!"
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, someone shouted, instantly causing the discussion to stop.
As expected, the golden stone tablet emitted a dazzling light, revealing a door.
"Hualala…"
When the door was completely revealed, everyone immediately rushed in impatiently.
After entering, the first thing most people did was to grab a seat on the first floor.
This floor was free of charge. All seats were on a first-come, first-served basis.
If the location was good, he might even be able to sell it and make a fortune.
There was also a small number of wealthy people who planned to book private rooms on the second floor and the third floor.
Feng Chen had yet to show up, so they could only entrust Madam Ning and Yue Lingshan.
In the midst of this commotion, the Ming Cult's group rushed in majestically.
He pushed aside the powerful guests of the martial world blocking in front of him and directly arrived in front of Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan.
Ning Zhongze was slightly stunned, but he quickly composed his expression and smiled."Left Emissary Yang, do you want to reserve a private room on the third floor?”
"There's no need for a private room."
"I'll have to trouble Madam Ning to inform the Tower Master of Tianji.”
"Just say that we've thought it through and are willing to use the Heaven and Earth Great Shift to exchange for heavenly secret points.”
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he said this, the hall instantly fell silent.
