The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 145 The Top of the Forbidden City
September [-]th, night.

It was less than half an hour before the final decisive battle.

The round moon has already risen to the mid-heaven, and the bright moonlight casts silver lights everywhere in the Forbidden City.

At this time, the front and rear ridges of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were almost full of people.

This scene should not have happened, because Wei Ziyun, Yin Xian and others only gave Lu Xiaofeng six ribbons.

In other words, there should be no more than six people standing outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, except for the imperial guards and the Ouchi guards.

But now, let alone six, there are more than sixteen!
What's even more incredible is that everyone here is wearing a color-changing ribbon.

This is even more impossible.

This kind of color-changing satin was brought from Persia as a tribute when the late emperor was alive. There were not many of them in the first place, and in recent years there are only one or two left. Even the empresses in the palace cherish it.

"What's going on here?" Lu Xiaofeng was confused.

The Ouchi guard Ding Ao looked at him and sneered, "We were going to ask you!"

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Ask me?"

Ding Ao said in a cold voice: "We gave you six ribbons in total, but now there are 21 people here. Where did these ribbons come from?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "I was going to ask you too."

On the ridge of the hall came two more people, Yin Xian in front and Wei Ziyun in the back.

Yin Xian walked quickly and looked very nervous, but Wei Ziyun had a calm demeanor and walked calmly.

Yin Xian rushed over and said in a deep voice, "You guys asked around, did you find anything?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and shook his head.

Wei Ziyun was much calmer, and said: "Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. We must strengthen our vigilance to prevent any changes."

After pondering for a moment, he ordered Yin Xian: "You pass on the word, double the number of guard cards in this place, and no one is allowed to move around at will."

"Yes."

Yin Xian took the order immediately.

Wei Ziyun turned his head and said to Ding Ao: "The fourth brother is going to mobilize the manpower. If necessary, we might as well call out the guards of the Qianqing Gate and the rest people inside. From now on, no matter who is allowed to go out, no one is allowed to come in."

Ding Ao also did not dare to neglect, and replied: "Yes."

night
According to the agreement, the time for the decisive battle is now.

On the ridge of the hall, Shen Youzhi stood with his sword in his arms, his clothes fluttered in the wind, but he didn't shake at all.

Even on the slippery glazed tiles, he stood as firm as Mount Tai.

Under the moonlight, a white-clothed figure came against the wind, his lightness kung fu was not inferior to Shen Youzhi at all.

"I didn't expect Ye Gucheng to have such a high lightness kung fu." Someone exclaimed.

"If the lightness kungfu is not high, how can you use that move 'Flying Immortal Outside the Sky'?"

It was Lu Xiaofeng who said this.

Ye Gucheng came, but his complexion was not good, he was pale and bloodless.

"I have admired the reputation for a long time, and this is the first time I see you." Ye Gucheng said coldly.

Shen Youzhi didn't speak, and didn't even open his eyes.

This is obviously an act of extreme disrespect for the opponent.

"What's going on? Liu Mengxun is so condescending, he doesn't pay attention to City Lord Baiyun at all!"

Everyone in the audience was a little surprised for a while.

In terms of fame, Ye Gucheng's reputation is undoubtedly much greater than that of Liu Mengxun.

In terms of swordsmanship, Flying Immortal Beyond the Sky is undoubtedly the unparalleled swordsmanship in the world.

No matter from which point of view, Liu Mengxun is not qualified to belittle Ye Gucheng. Is he acting too arrogantly now?

Or did he feel arrogant when he saw the Lord Baiyun was seriously injured and felt that he would win without a doubt?
"Cough cough!"

Wei Ziyun suddenly coughed twice, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Both of them are contemporary masters of swordsmanship, and they bear the high expectations of the world. They won't poison their swords if they are fooled, and they won't hide hidden weapons."

"It's just that this battle is unprecedented and must be passed on to future generations. Can the two of you exchange swords to show your faith?"

Wei Ziyun shouted loudly to the two people on the ridge of the hall.

Ye Gucheng heard the words, and replied: "I would like to obey the orders of Taiwan."

The Lord Baiyun, who had always been aloof and regarded swords as his destiny, heard Wei Ziyun's proposal of "exchanging swords" without any hesitation or hesitation.

On the other side, Shen Youzhi still didn't speak, and stood there motionless.

"Is he asleep already?"

Your Highness, Sikong Zhaixing suddenly made a joke.

"If a person is asleep and can stand there motionless, his qinggong is probably higher than anyone else in the world." Taoist Mu said.

Lu Xiaofeng also couldn't figure out what Liu Mengxun was thinking.

The situation appeared to be at a stalemate.

Wei Ziyun had no choice but to snort twice, and could only give up the idea of ​​"changing swords for inspection", and said loudly: "The time has passed, and there will be an early morning tomorrow, the two of you can only hope for half an hour for this battle, and if the time is over, then you will be able to do so." Based on the theory of regardless of the outcome.

Experts are competing for skills, and they are fighting for one move, half an hour must be enough. "

Ye Gucheng's complexion became even worse, not only his movements were a little slow, but he even started coughing uncontrollably.

After a long time, he raised his chest, looked at Shen Youzhi, and said in a cold voice: "A sharp sword is a murder weapon. I have been practicing swords since I was young, and I have been waiting to die by the sword at any moment."

Halfway through the conversation, he paused for a moment, waiting for his opponent's response.

Unexpectedly, Shen Youzhi still closed his eyes and remained motionless.

The atmosphere became even more awkward for a moment.

Sweat continued to ooze from Ye Gucheng's forehead, but he still insisted: "So in today's battle, you and I don't have to show mercy to the sword. Wouldn't it be regrettable for a sword learner to die under the sword of a master? "

His questions were unanswered.

Shen Youzhi seemed to be really asleep.

Seeing this situation, Ye Gucheng was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he was also on the verge of falling, as if he could not hold on anymore.

At this moment, a black shadow rushed to the ridge of the hall, it was Tang Tianzong, the young master of the Tang Sect.

Tang Tian jumped up behind Ye Gucheng, spewing out a cloud of black smoke, which was exactly the soul-chasing sand that the Tang family used to seal their throats with blood.

Everyone in the world knows that if one grain of this arsenopyrite hits the face, half of the face must be cut off, and if one grain hits the hand, one hand must be cut off.

Ye Gucheng, who was seriously injured, soared into the air at this moment, so fast that he didn't look like a dying wounded patient at all.

Unfortunately, he was still a step behind.

With a scream, Ye Gucheng quickly fell from mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.

Obviously, this person is definitely not Ye Gucheng.

No matter when, Ye Gucheng will never be as embarrassed as him.

In an instant, a spiritual light flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's mind.

He finally connected all the clues together.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to delay for a moment, immediately found Wei Ziyun, and asked anxiously: "Where is the emperor at this moment?"

Wei Ziyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lu Xiaofeng asked about this.

"It's important, tell me quickly!" Lu Xiaofeng urged loudly.

Wei Ziyun was taken aback by his urgency, and immediately replied: "Although the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, he still studies as tirelessly as when he was the prince, so he often rests in the south study."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately asked: "Where is the South Study Room? Quickly take me there!"

Yin Xian who was on the side heard this, immediately cried out, and shouted: "You want us to take you to see the emperor? You are crazy!"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't have time to explain, he just said: "I'm not crazy, but if you don't take me to see the emperor quickly, you will die!"

The ribbon that Wei Ziyun gave him can only be produced by the deep palace, so the current chaotic situation must have something to do with the people in the palace!
The black hands behind the scenes tried their best to create chaos here, forcing the Ouchi guards to come to assist in the defense, leaving the defense force around the emperor empty, and their purpose is obvious!
