In Chuxiu Palace,
Concubine Yan, who was in the midst of breaking through to the master realm, suddenly opened her eyes in confusion.
Just now, she suddenly felt an instinctive shudder, but when she came back to her senses, she did not discover anything!
"Could it be the aftermath of the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue?”
"It shouldn't be two mere grandmasters of the sword.”
Concubine Yan tried to comprehend it for a long time, but she still couldn't find anything. She had no choice but to give up.
......
In the imperial garden,
In a rockery cave,
"Little Chick Lu, did you guess wrong?”
"We've been hiding here for so long, but we haven't even seen a ghost, let alone an assassin!”
"The final battle between Ximen and Ye Gucheng will start in an hour at most. Why don't we move to Taiji Palace to watch the battle?”
"Although there are many guards there, they shouldn't dare to make a move casually, let alone stop us!”
Sikong Zhaixing said with an unlucky expression.
In order to scout for Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, he had mixed himself in the Night Fragrance (toilet) car. Even after washing in the moat for half a day, he still felt that something was wrong.
"No assassination is the best thing!”
In the distance, Lu Xiaofeng slightly waved Chu Liuxiang's fan,
He wasn't like Chu Liuxiang, who was not sensitive to smells. He could only avoid the current Sikong Zhaixing.
At this moment,
"You three, come out. I don't need you anymore!”
Before the three of them could recover from their shock, Cao Zhengchun's old face appeared in front of them and said,""Let's go. His Majesty has invited us!"
"Eunuch with a brush, Eunuch Cao, the manager of the East Chamber?”
"What's going on?"
Sikong Zhaixing looked at Cao Zhengchun, who had suddenly appeared, with a confused expression. Then, he turned around and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang.
"Let's go!"
"Fortunately, we came with the intention of protecting the spirit beast. Otherwise, we would have been completely dead by now!”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and exchanged glances with Chu Liuxiang. He rubbed his nose helplessly.
Although he had guessed the beginning correctly, he had not expected the ending!
The assassination was probably true, but Emperor Ming was much more brilliant than he had imagined!
Not only had they done something useless, but they had also come from afar to deliver their heads!
......
In the royal study,
"Sit down!"
"As expected of the smart people recognized in the martial world. Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang are indeed quite capable!”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hand as he looked at the three of them, who looked a little uncomfortable.
"In front of His Majesty, we dare not claim to be smart!”
Looking at the handsome and extraordinary Emperor Ming, how could Chu Liuxiang not know that the so-called fatuous ruler was just a facade? Her face was filled with shock and defeat.
"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with us?”
Lu Xiaofeng was also worried.
They thought highly of themselves all day long, but in front of Zhu Houzhao, their little tricks made them feel ashamed.
Emperor Ming, who had toyed with everyone in the world, was truly a wise man!
"Originally, Cao Zhengchun suggested sending you to the imperial prison.”
"However, I suddenly feel that if the three of you are missing in the martial arts world, it would be a little boring!”
"These are the waist tokens of the three imperial guards. From now on, you will be my secret agents!”
Zhu Houzhao casually threw out three tokens.
"If we agree, will Your Majesty let Ximen go?”
Lu Xiaofeng looked nervous.
Compared to the three of them who had originally planned to protect the spirit beast, Ximen Chuixue's disrespect was much more serious.
"Ximen Chuixue has another mission. As long as he can complete it, I will naturally pardon his crimes!”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand lightly.
Chu Liuxiang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Emperor Ming was different from what he had imagined, at least he was merciful. Ximen Chuixue should be fine.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Any emperor would not treat a talented grandmaster of the sword as nothing!
"Zero degrees of respect, zero degrees of joy, zero degrees of hair?”
Sikong Zhaixing picked up the sign and looked at it. He then said with a dumbfounded expression,
Wasn't this code name too strange?
"Together with the codename Zero Wealth, Blooming Flowers, we finally have the four great jokers!”
The smile on Zhu Houzhao's face grew wider.
"Zero, congratulations on making a fortune?"
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless. This Emperor Ming was indeed as evil as the rumors said.
But who asked him to be so powerful?
"Go!"
"Remember, if you violate the laws of Great Ming again, kill without mercy!”
Zhu Houzhao's face turned cold, and an extremely imposing aura flashed past.
"Boom!"
Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and Sikong Zhaixing, who were renowned throughout the entire martial arts world, were pressed down to the ground by the aura. Their foreheads and hearts were even colder!
It turned out that Emperor Ming was actually so terrifying!
This aura, even Celestial Being Realm powerhouses were far inferior!
No wonder Emperor Ming hadn't mentioned Ye Gucheng until now. He must have been executed for failing to rebel!
Fortunately,
The three of them had accidentally carried out a ridiculous rescue earlier. Otherwise, they would have died without a burial place!
Until Cao Zhengchun brought them out of the palace city, Lu Xiaofeng and the other two still couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Looking at the towering city walls of the Forbidden City, their eyes were full of complicated feelings.
On the summit of the Forbidden City
As expected, it was not something that a mere martial artist could covet!
They were on completely different levels!
......
In the royal study.
"Your Majesty, it's just three Grandmasters. Why do you think so highly of them?”
Empress Wu Zhao was puzzled.
"If you want to manage martial artists better, you need to understand their officials well!”
"Although Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang's cultivations are a bit lacking, their brains are flexible enough. Adding on Sikong Zhaixing who is proficient in small tricks, and Blooming Flowering Tower as an assistant, they can be considered a good partner!”
"Moreover, these people are very nosy and are especially good at destroying the good things of people with ulterior motives. If used well, they can save Zhen a lot of effort to accompany you.”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said," Besides, doesn't Yun Luo always like to leave the palace and roam the martial world? Adding a few capable assistants to her will also make her a little more awe-inspiring!"”
"It's indeed quite interesting!"
Thinking of how Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and the others were gloomily following Yun Luo around, Wu Zhao could not help but laugh.
