I, make my own

Chapter 48 The Curtain Opens
"For this duel, you just have to let go, Xie Changfeng, I'm not your opponent."

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Cheng Long was even more dazed, and his mind couldn't turn around.

Didn't His Majesty just say that his chances of winning are less than [-]%?Why did he suddenly say that Xie Changfeng was not his opponent?

Zhou Xin didn't say much, just popped out a note.

Cheng Long reached out to take it, and after reading it quickly, his eyes widened.

At this time, an internal servant walked in from outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, I wish Si Cheng to see you."

"Xuan."

Zhou Xin spat out a word, then waved his hand towards Cheng Long.

"Okay, let's arrange the baptism of the imperial army."

"only!"

Cheng Long took a deep breath, stuffed the note into his mouth, and bowed respectfully before leaving.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoyang walked in.

"Your Majesty, two days ago, the Jinhong Temple held a ceremony to sweep the pagoda forest, which focused on the tomb of the ghost monk Xuandu, saying that the ghost monk had passed away for ten years."

"However, according to the report of Anzi who was buried in Jinhong Temple by our Jing'an Division, there has always been a strictly guarded forbidden area in the back mountain of Jinhong Temple, and people will send them to eat every once in a while."

"In addition, Xuan Kong, the abbot of Jinhong Temple, went to the forbidden area in person the night before."

"Therefore, I suspect that the ghost monk Xuandu is still alive, and the ritual sweep of Jinhong Temple is likely to deliberately confuse the outside world."

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and thoughtfully said:

"Oh? So, Jinhong Temple is planning to let the ghost monk personally assassinate Xie Changfeng or Cheng Long?"

"Your Majesty, although I am not sure, this possibility is not ruled out!"

Zhu Gaoyang replied respectfully.

"Ghost monk, a legendary figure who overwhelmed the entire rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, I really want to see him."

Zhou Xin murmured softly, then smiled.

"That's good news."

Zhu Gaoyang was taken aback for a moment, how could this be considered good news?
"Let the Yinzi of Jinhong Temple keep an eye on the movements of the senior management of Jinhong Temple, and report immediately if any of their senior management and elites leave the mountain gate!"

"only!"

Zhu Gaoyang took the command in a respectful voice, and after thinking quickly in his mind for a while, his eyes suddenly popped out.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take this opportunity to pull out Jinhong Temple as well?"

"Why not?"

Zhou Xin smiled mysteriously.

Zhu Gaoyang couldn't help but gasped, as if he had vaguely guessed what His Majesty was thinking.

If this is the case, then among the Big Three in the Great Zhou Jianghu, Shang Fazong and Jinhong Temple will all be reduced to history, and only one Jiuyou Demon Sect will be left...

After forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhu Gaoyang said again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The courageous general Li Ke and Hu Zhizhuo's confidant and staff Li Ruo have found a humble official, and they want to meet with Your Majesty..."

"Oh?"

Zhou Xin raised his eyebrows, not too surprised.

The huge boat capsizes, the birds and beasts scatter; the building tilts, and the crown escapes.

General Hu Zhizhuo's faction has become history. Although there are still some backbones, they are destined not to cause too much trouble.

In this case, it is natural for someone to vote for another party.

People like this should be killed, and they should be used.

General Li Ketao knew about the two people mentioned by Zhu Gaoyang. After all, this person was the commander of the Imperial Cavalry Guards.

As the strongest armored heavy cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty, although its commander's status in the court is not too high, his actual status is very important.

As for that Li Ruo, he had no impression of him before.

"Li Ke, Li Ruo, what is their relationship?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Li Ruo is Li Ke's nephew."

"I see. Well, let them enter the palace after an hour."

"only."

……

On the third day of September, Yueyang Lake, DC District, Huangdu.

In the past few days, countless knight-errants, hermits, and even spies and dignitaries from other countries flocked in, making the Great Zhou Emperor almost overcrowded.

It's human nature to watch the excitement, not to mention the duel between Xie Changfeng and Cheng Long, which has been exaggerated by various rumors and has become a battle for the number one master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a martial arts battle between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Jianghu.

Of course, it's not all just for fun...

Somewhere in a ternary courtyard.

"Strange, seeing that the time for the duel is getting closer, why didn't the two parties make any moves?"

Several senior officials of Shang Fazong huddled together and discussed in a low voice, quite confused about the stable situation in front of them.

"It should be because you know it's impossible to succeed, so you gave up?"

Someone hesitated to guess, but it was quickly rejected.

"It's not that simple. They know the consequences of my Shang Fazong becoming the Great Zhou Guozong, so they will never give up! Maybe they are planning some conspiracy!"

"Is there any news about the Anzi planted inside them?"

"Not yet."

"At the moment, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. We must maintain the highest alert at all times, and we must not make any mistakes!"

"Yes, everyone must make the necessary preparations. If there is a real crisis, even if we die in battle, we must not let the Suzerain be affected! My Shang Fazong's great career will be fought tonight!"

"understand!"

……

A small temple five miles away from the courtyard where the people of Shang Fazong lived.

"Abbot, what about the master?"

Several chiefs of Jinhong Temple asked Xuankong with anxious expressions.

Xuan Kong's face was indifferent, quite calm.

"Brother is going to step on the spot. Don't worry, brother is in good condition today, unless there is a big fight, otherwise it is impossible to lose control."

"I see."

The first few breathed a sigh of relief.

"Abbot, when is Master Master going to do it?"

"Before the duel, he will wait for Xie Changfeng at the top of Yueyang Tower."

While Xuankong was talking, a monk suddenly walked in from the outside.

"Abbot, a team of Jing'an guards came outside the temple. The leading captain said that the Jing'an division has specially set up a viewing site for me at Jinhong Temple, so I came here to inform you. In addition, they will also guard us to avoid disputes on the way .”

"Captain?"

Huiming, the head of the Bodhidharma Academy, frowned slightly, looking quite dissatisfied.

"Knowing that the abbot came in person, Jing'an Division just arranged for a small captain to come. Does this mean that I, Jinhong Temple, are not paying attention?"

Xuankong glanced at Huiming and shook his head slightly.

"There are fish and snakes in the imperial capital today. Jing'an Division is a bit powerless to ensure that there will be no troubles. It is reasonable to assign a school lieutenant to come, so don't worry about it."

Huiming's expression froze slightly, then he put his hands together and bowed his head.

"The abbot said so."

……

Qixiangyuan.

"Has the news been released?"

Shang Kewan's ten fingers are like spirit snakes, while playing the guqin, she asked casually.

"Yes, tonight's battle of Yueyang, most of the masters in the sect will go to watch the battle, and the power to protect the sect master in the garden will be the weakest. This news has been sent back by Anzi from the Hundred Caves."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Baixue Grotto. They will never let it go, and they will definitely come tonight!"

An elder respectfully replied.

"That's good. Act according to the original plan. You don't need to pay attention to this leader, as long as you take down the Hundred Caves."

Shang Kewan's movement of plucking the strings did not stop, but the speed of his hands suddenly accelerated a bit, and the tune became more and more high-pitched.

"Yes!"

"Remember, Baicao Cave is different from Qianxiang Pavilion. Its ruler is the Black Demon, and many Diggers are enslaved under it. Black Demons are aggressive and hard to tame. There is no need to show mercy to Dark Demons. Start the killing ring."

"However, the Digger is timid and cowardly. After being enslaved by the Dark Demon for so long, even if it changes masters, it does not dare to resist easily. The most important thing is that its digging ability is quite good, and it will be of great use in the future."

"Therefore, for the Digger, try to kill as few as possible."

"Don't worry, the leader, the subordinates understand!"

……

At sunset, the sunset is infinitely red.

There are people's heads everywhere beside the sparkling Yueyang Lake, and the scene of shoulder to shoulder really makes one's scalp tingle.

Yueyang Lake is neither big nor small. In short, from four directions, you can clearly see the Yueyang Tower standing in the center of the lake, which is nearly [-] feet high.

At this moment, the four trestle bridges leading to Yueyang Tower have been blocked by patrolling soldiers, and some key intersections around them are also guarded by patrolling soldiers and Jing'an guards. At the same time, there are many small teams patrolling and maintaining order.

When the last twilight of the setting sun dissipated, the imperial army with red tassels and full armor finally left the palace and marched quickly eastward along Qinglong Avenue.

When they reached the intersection of Qinglong Avenue and Yunhua Avenue, the densely packed imperial army suddenly divided into three groups, heading in different directions.

At the same time, one after another news was arranged by Xia Ze, and quickly spread to many places.

"Three points of the imperial army, the imperial driver goes north."

"The imperial army is divided into four parts, divided into Dongyue Pavilion, Nanyue Pavilion, Xiyue Pavilion, and Beiyue Pavilion."

"There are a total of [-] imperial guards leaving the palace, [-] in each of the four routes."

"You drive into the Beiyue Pavilion. I don't know if the emperor is in it."

Although there is only one Yujia, no one can guarantee that the emperor is really among the Yujia.

After all, there are forbidden troops in the other three directions, and the imperial driver may be just a cover, and the emperor may also be on other roads.

Therefore, even if Yujia had already entered Beiyue Pavilion, the real whereabouts of the emperor could not be ascertained.

The moon rises to the east, its wheel is like a round basin, and its light is like a Milky Way.

Most of the time at the beginning of the month is the first quarter moon, but tonight's moon is not unusual, not only extraordinarily round, but also extraordinarily bright.

Therefore, even if the torches and lanterns are not lit, the world is still bright and refreshing.

On the east side of Yueyang Lake, there is an inconspicuous hut.

"What time is it?"

Xia Ze opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window, and asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the deputy landlord, and there will be more than a hundred breaths until the third quarter of Xuchu."

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"The third quarter of the first day of Xu, it's almost there."

Xia Ze's eyes flashed, and then he ordered: "Send a message, it is confirmed that the emperor is in Beiyue Pavilion, let them try to gather in Beiyue Pavilion immediately!"

"Yes!"

Beiyue Pavilion.

【Ding!You instigated your subordinates to disclose the exact location of Emperor Zhou to the outside world. This move will put Emperor Zhou in danger, rebellion points +300]

On the third floor of the attic, Zhou Xin's mouth curled up slightly when he heard the system's notification tone.

"Let someone guide Xie Changfeng, and after a quarter of an hour, announce that Xie Changfeng and Cheng Long will meet."

"only!"

Leng Yun respectfully responded, bowed his head and exited the main hall, then assigned a little Huangmen to deliver the decree to the place where Shang Fazong watched the battle.
