In the imperial garden.
"Clang!"
The ethereal sound of the zither rang out. Xiao Longnu's jade-like hands moved gently as she plucked the strings.
A moment later, the song ended.
"Sister Long 'er's zither skills are getting more and more outstanding.”
The Empress sat beside Zhu Houzhao and praised him.
He especially liked Xiao Longnu's personality.
In the harem, there was no competition or snatching.
He was not a threat to her.
"Many thanks for elder sister's praise. Compared to elder sister empress, I'm still far off.”
Xiao Longnu's expression was calm. She knew that the empress in front of her was not simple.
Even if she was simple-minded, she did not want to offend the Empress.
Most importantly, she didn't want to make things difficult for Brother Su Yi.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorial that had just been sent over and sneered,"
"Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, interesting!”
"Your Majesty, the news that the two of them are going to fight on the summit of the forbidden city on the night of the full moon has been spreading like wildfire in recent days. I'm afraid there's a trap!”
The Empress frowned and said solemnly.
Xiao Longnu picked up the tea and tasted it carefully.
He didn't care about what the two of them were talking about.
"Your Majesty, who will win?”the Empress asked casually.
"No one will win. The final victor can only be me!”
"Could it be that His Majesty wants to make a move against the two of them? That's right. The two of them are extremely bold and dare to trample on the dignity of the Imperial Family.”
The Empress nodded in understanding.
"Hehe, you're wrong about that. Ximen Chuixue is a true swordsman. He lives for the sword.”
"On the contrary, Ye Gucheng, hehe…"
Zhu Houzhao said with an inexplicable smile.
"Oh?" The Empress nodded obediently, not doubting the Emperor's words at all.
Ever since she married the Emperor, she knew how terrifying the person beside her could be.
Omniscient and omnipotent.
In His Majesty's eyes, two mere martial artists were no more than ants.
"What does Your Majesty plan to do?"
"Zhen is prepared to use this matter to bait!”
" Fishing?!" The Empress was deep in thought.
"Men!"
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao shouted.
In an instant, a figure shrouded in black appeared.
"Your Majesty!"
The person bowed respectfully.
Both the Empress and Xiao Longnu were shocked.
The person's aura was very strange.
It gave them a sense of fatal threat.
Among the martial grandmasters, it was definitely at the top.
"Zhen has something for you to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao's lips moved slightly.
However, the Empress and Xiao Longnu could not hear anything.
After a long time, the man in black nodded and disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty, this is…"
The Empress took a deep breath, barely suppressing the throbbing in her heart.
"The leader of my secret guards!"
"In the entire Great Ming Dynasty, there are no more than five people who know about them.”
A secret guard?
Other than the Jinyiwei, the Second East and West Depots, the Six Fan School, the Zhuge Divine Constabulary, and the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, there were other organizations?
It seemed that Da Ming was even stronger than she had imagined.
What made her the happiest was…
His Majesty actually let her know about such a secret.
It meant that His Majesty had completely trusted her.
……
Zhuge Divine Constabulary.
"Uncle!"
Divine Marquis Zhuge, Merciless, Iron Hand, Life Chaser, and Cold-blooded were all gathered together.
"Ironhand, how's the investigation going?"
"This matter is more serious than we thought. The entire martial arts world is in an uproar now. There must be a mastermind behind the scenes who is secretly adding fuel to the fire.”
"Uncle, why didn't we stop Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng? Could it be that he was really fighting with the Six Fan School as they said?”
"This is His Majesty's order. He asked us not to interfere in this matter.”
"Does Your Majesty not trust the Divine Constabulary?"
"Uncle, could it be that there's some big secret?”
Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and did not reply.
"We only need to complete the order His Majesty gave us and maintain the safety of the capital.”
……
East Hall.
"Supervisor, Liu Xi's remaining accomplices have all been captured!”
"What are you waiting for? Kill them all.”
Cao Zhengchun shouted angrily.
"This time, because of Liu Xi, that trash, not only did we almost die, but the entire East Hall was also almost banned.”
"Listen up. If you do anything out of line in the future, I won't forgive you.”
"I'll definitely make you wish you were dead.”
When the East Chamber disciples heard this, they all trembled in fear.
"Supervisor, regarding Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, we…"
"There's no need to worry about it. Just secretly protect the safety of the capital.”
"His Majesty will personally deal with those two arrogant ants.”
Cao Zhengchun sneered.
……
Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
"Godfather, we failed. That Di Yun is even more powerful than we imagined.”
Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao reported to Zhu Bujue.
"Although he's only at the Xiantian Realm, the two of us Grandmasters can't take him down.”
"As expected of a hidden dragon on the rankings, I underestimated him.”
"This matter ends here. There are more important things for you to do now.”
"His Majesty has decreed that the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa should closely monitor the martial artists in the capital.”
"Once there is a criminal, kill them all.”
Zhu Bujue ordered coldly.
"What about Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?”
"Ignore it."
"Whatever schemes they have, they will be revealed when the time comes.”
……
West Hall.
Yu Huatian looked at his subordinates who were ready to go, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Cao Zhengchun had been taught a lesson by the Emperor and had almost been killed. This made him feel very good.
It was a good opportunity to show off and make His Majesty pay attention to the West Hall again.
"Everyone, listen up. In the next few days, pay close attention to every move in the capital.”
"Once you find suspicious people, especially large groups, don't alert them.”
"Our mission this time is to gather intelligence.”
"The more information you have, the greater the credit."
……
At the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'encampment.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise gathered together.
"Our Embroidered Uniform Guards 'mission targets are those famous figures in the martial arts world.”
"If they don't cause trouble, we'll ignore them.”
"However, if there is any unusual movement, arrest them immediately. If they resist, kill them without mercy.”
"Where are Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?"
"There will be others to deal with it!"
