In the royal study.
Lu Chen sat on the deerskin recliner and flipped through the stack of information in his hand.
The expression on his face was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry."Are these all the major factions in the capital?”
Cao Zhengqin stood in front of the desk and bowed."That shouldn't be all. The East Chamber only arrested those who violated the laws of the court. As for the rest who didn't cause trouble, I didn't act rashly.”
Lu Chen rubbed his chin and muttered,""Those who haven't caused any trouble, don't worry about them.”
Cao Zhengqin lowered his head and said,""Your Majesty, there are experts in the capital. This old servant wishes to arrange for Wei Zhong and Wei Xian to protect you in case of any mishaps.”
As the Son of Heaven, Lu Chen's personal guards were naturally the strongest in Great Wei.
However, those few Connate realm imperial guards and old eunuchs would not be able to protect him if they were attacked by a Zongshi realm expert.
The two Deputy Commanders of the East Military Hall were both Half-Grandmasters who practiced the top-grade Divine Skill, the Secret Manual of the Green Mirror.
It would not be a problem for them to fight against ordinary Grandmasters.
"An expert?" Lu Chen frowned slightly. How high?"
Cao Zhengqin hesitated.""Yesterday, when this old servant captured a Xiantian realm martial artist, I felt a faint spying on him. I'm afraid that he's also a Zongshi realm existence.”
At his realm, it was impossible to have an illusion out of thin air.
Since he felt something, it meant that someone was spying on his aura.
Grandmaster Lu Chen frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the desk subconsciously."Then let Wei Zhong and Wei Xian enter the palace.”
Since it concerned his own safety, he naturally wouldn't let his guard down.
A Zongshi realm expert in the Imperial City was a threat that could not be underestimated.
Such an existence could even take a person's head from a hundred meters away.
In his previous life, he would be a land god!
" Yes, I will make the arrangements." Cao Zhengqin bowed and left the royal study.
" Duh!" Lu Chen tapped his fingers on the desk as he organized the information of the various sects in his mind.
Under the torture of the East Chamber, the disciples of the major sects who were imprisoned in the imperial prison could not wait to confess the color of their sect master's underwear.
The number of experts in the sect, the distribution of grandmasters, Xiantian Lords, and so on, any secret plans, cultivation techniques, secret manuals, the location of the sect, and so on.
There were even all kinds of secret signals that were clearly recorded in the book in Lu Chen's hand.
The more Lu Chen read, the colder his expression became.
Each of these great sects was a king of land and did not pay taxes. It was like a country within a country.
Where the mountain gate was located, the government office had completely become a decoration.
Everything had to be decided by these great sects.
"Now that the fate of the country has not been restored, there is no additional power to deal with them. Let them be free for a while."
Lu Chen's eyes were solemn as he looked at the system information panel in his mind.
The fate of the country at present is on the verge of death. (Rewriting)
" It seems that the establishment of the East Chamber will not immediately lift the country's fate," Lu Chen thought and guessed.
"I'm afraid we still have to change the world's view of the Imperial Court.”
In the eyes of the world, Great Wei was a toothless tiger.
Even the last grandmaster had passed away, and he was no longer a threat.
In that case, the sword duel on the night of the full moon would be the best opportunity!
As long as his plan went smoothly, he would be able to push the country's fate to one or even two levels!
......
Time passed.
With Cao Zhengqin's help, the East Hall's clean-up operation was unstoppable, and a large number of martial artists were imprisoned.
Soon, all the martial artists in the capital realized that something was wrong.
For a moment, everyone cowered and did not dare to cause any more trouble.
Of course, it wasn't that there weren't any troublemakers who dared to cause trouble, but that such people had been caught clean.
In the inn, in the upper room on the second floor.
The cloth-clothed blind man sat on the stool, his expression was not calm."I'm afraid that person's strength is beyond my imagination. Fairy Ning, this trip is too risky.”
As the expert from the Imperial Court had made his moves over the past few days, he had a rough idea of his strength.
He was definitely not an ordinary grandmaster!
A beautiful woman with a white veil over her face stood in front of the window and stared outside. Her voice was cold."Today is the Lantern Festival. After the sword duel, I will leave.”
The cloth-clothed blind man laughed bitterly." This old man feels uneasy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave even if I want to."”
He had indeed thought that the imperial court had to deal with the two existences at the peak of the sword path and had no time to pay attention to them.
However, as the time approached, he became more and more uneasy.
It was as if an irresistible disaster would descend!
" Impossible," Ning Yuqing said coldly,""The two swordsmen tonight are both top-notch experts.”
"Even if the Great Wei Imperial Court still has some hidden combat power, they might not be able to deal with them, let alone free their hands to deal with others.”
Whether it was the White Cloud City Lord or the Sword God, they were both people who stood at the top of the martial arts world.
It was already inconceivable that the Imperial Court wanted to deal with these two people at the same time.
The cloth-clothed blind man did not reply to her, but stared blankly in the direction of the Imperial Palace, muttering to himself in a low voice,"
"Hidden dragon out of the abyss, hidden dragon out of the abyss!"
Ning Yuqing furrowed her brows and did not say anything else.
She had a cold personality and did not have the habit of finding a topic to talk about.
Soon, the sky darkened, and a faint moonlight could be seen in the sky.
The capital of the Great Wei Dynasty was lit up with lights. It was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the time for family reunions.
Every family was celebrating the Lantern Festival.
Of course, the palace was the center of attention.
Or rather, the two who were about to have a sword duel in the palace.
No one knew that the supervisors of the East Chamber in green robes had already quietly spread out around the Imperial City.
