In the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you are indeed smart."
"You thought of it so quickly."
"When I saw you just now, I suddenly changed my mind!”
Zhu Houzhao's dignified voice sounded.
Then, he threw out a dark golden token.
"From now on, you, Lu Xiaofeng, are my secret agent. 007!"
"Ximen Chuixue has deceived the emperor this time. I will let bygones be bygones!”
"I will also spare your friends in the martial world this time.”
"Remember, if there is anyone who dares to provoke Great Ming's dignity again, kill them without mercy.”
At this point, a terrifying aura crushed Lu Xiaofeng.
In an instant.
Lu Xiaofeng only felt difficulty breathing.
Even his thoughts seemed to be restricted.
His body involuntarily fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty…"
Lu Xiaofeng's face was pale, and a fear that he had never felt before surged into his heart.
The remaining trace of confusion in his heart finally came to an understanding.
The Ming Emperor was actually so terrifying.
Compared to Ye Gucheng, who knew how much stronger he was? To assassinate the Emperor, wasn't that courting death?
The aura came and went quickly.
After recovering, Lu Xiaofeng panted heavily.
Her mind was in a mess.
"Men, escort Lu Xiaofeng out of the palace!”
He did not give Lu Xiaofeng a chance to reply and directly asked the imperial guards to take him out of the palace.
This chess piece could be considered his idle chess piece.
"Your Majesty, why did you accept Lu Xiaofeng? He's just a mere grandmaster. His strength is too weak!”
"The secret agents you personally selected are all at least martial grandmasters!”
The Empress asked curiously.
"What I value is not his cultivation, but his wisdom. I might need him in the future.”
"Originally, I planned to purge all the martial artists, including Ximen Chuixue, but Lu Xiaofeng's sudden appearance saved their lives.”
"I hope that those people will not fall into my hands again.”
Zhu Houzhao's tone was indifferent, and he did not take the so-called martial arts practitioners seriously at all.
"What if Lu Xiaofeng disobeys your order?”
"With his intelligence, he wouldn't and wouldn't dare. He was frightened just now.”
……
Outside the palace gates.
"Lu Xiaofeng, I was almost killed by you this time.”
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's kindness that he didn't blame me. Otherwise, hmph, leave!”
The imperial guard who was tricked by Lu Xiaofeng said indignantly.
Then, he ignored her and went straight back to the palace gate.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was beside him, did not react for a moment.
He stared blankly at the token bestowed by the Emperor in his hand.
He, Lu Xiaofeng, had inexplicably become the Emperor's imperial guard?
This…
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to cry.
He yearned for a carefree life in the martial arts world.
Now, there was a big shot above him, and his days would be difficult.
However, when he recalled the Emperor's words, a chill ran down his spine.
If he had not 'saved' the emperor by accident, there might have been countless powerhouses from the imperial government who had come to kill the martial artists.?
A duel on the summit of the forbidden city was simply a slap to the emperor's face.
Which emperor could tolerate it?
Moreover, this Ming Emperor was so terrifying.
How could he let go of a person who deceived the emperor?
Ye Gucheng wasn't the only one who had to die.
Ximen Chuixue would definitely not be able to survive.
This was Lu Xiaofeng's future freedom in exchange for the lives of all the martial artists.?
Including his own.
It was impossible for him to refuse even if he wanted to.
He laughed at himself and kept the token.
His face regained its calm, not daring to let others see anything suspicious.
Even his best friends, Blooming Flowers, and Ximen Chuixue.
He didn't dare to tell her so easily.
What if the Emperor found out and sent someone to silence him?
He did not dare to underestimate the Imperial Court's strength in the slightest.
He did not dare to underestimate the majesty of the Great Ming Emperor.
……
In the distant horizon, a trace of light gradually rose.
The night had passed.
Ximen Chuixue stood there quietly for the entire night, not moving at all.
Dongfang Chenxi appeared but Ye Gucheng had yet to appear.
Everyone felt endless disappointment.
Another two hours passed.
More and more pedestrians appeared on the streets.
"Humph! Ye Gucheng, you are a Sword Saint, I am ashamed to be with you."”
Ximen Chuixue, who had been waiting for an entire night, snorted coldly.
Then, he used his lightness skill and flew away.
The spectators below also started discussing.
"What the hell is this? It's a full moon night, the summit of the forbidden city, they're just playing with us!”
"Ye Gucheng, what a joke!”
"Let's go back to sleep!"
As he spoke, the number of people became fewer and fewer.
"That shouldn't be the case. Ye Gu Cheng is not a person who would back out at the last minute.”
"What exactly happened?"
"Where's Lu Xiaofeng? He left in a hurry just now, so he should know something.”
"Come in high spirits and return in low spirits!"
Right at this moment, Lu Xiaofeng, who had come out of the Imperial Palace, flew over.
"Lu Xiaofeng, what happened?”
"Yeah, where did you go before?"
Lu Xiaofeng didn't respond either. Instead, he said anxiously,"
"Commander Xiang, Blooming Flowering Brothel, cut the crap. Let's leave the capital immediately.”
"I'll tell you in detail when we leave the capital.”
He still had lingering fears.
Fearing that the Emperor would go back on his word and have a killing intent, he immediately summoned his familiar friends and left the capital.
……
More than ten miles away from the capital.
In a remote area.
"Come out, you've been following me all the way!"
Ximen Chuixue held his longsword in his hand as he stared coldly at a spot behind him.
"Not bad, as expected of Sword God Ximen Chuixue, much stronger than Ye Gucheng.”
A middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade robe appeared with his hands behind his back.
He looked at Ximen Chuixue indifferently.
"Who are you? You know about Ye Gucheng?"
"No, last night Ye Gucheng didn't show up. Could it be because of you?”
Ximen Chuixue's killing intent was apparent, and his tone was ice-cold.
" He's dead! He's been torn into pieces!"
"Because he committed the crime of treason."
"As for you, although you didn't rebel, you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!”
the middle-aged man said indifferently.
" You're from the imperial court?!"
"Take my sword. If you don't die, then your crime will be completely settled. Otherwise, you'll have to leave your life behind.”
Whoosh!
Ximen Chuixue did not say anything. He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the mysterious man coldly.
"Attack!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing you practice swordsmanship too!"
Not only was he not afraid, but his eyes were also filled with excitement.
He could feel how terrifying this mysterious man was.
In fact, he might even die in the hands of the other party in a true battle of life and death.
However, he was not afraid.
As long as he could take this sword, his Sword Dao would definitely make another breakthrough.
Just as the mysterious man made his move.
"Stop, wait!"
A vigorous voice echoed in the surroundings.
Another mysterious person appeared.
