All Heavens Start with Lu Xiaofeng

Chapter 85 The Curtain
September [-]th, dusk.

The sunset is gorgeous and the sky is full of colorful clouds.

Today is the time for the decisive battle between the two peerless swordsmen.

The location of the decisive battle was in the Forbidden City, and there were not many people who were qualified to watch this decisive battle.

Lu Xiaofeng happened to be one of them.

He stepped into the setting sun, entered Donghua Gate, Longzong Gate, turned into the Meridian Gate under the Phoenix Tower of the Dragon Tower, and finally arrived at the forbidden place within the forbidden place, the city within the city.

Patrol guards along the way, three steps for one post, five steps for one sentry, if there is no such color-changing ribbon, no matter who wants to break in, it will be very difficult, even if you can get in here, you can't even think about taking another step.

Lu Xiaofeng could already feel an invisible pressure rushing towards his face.

This is the inner palace, the residence of the emperor.

A decree issued here can cause countless lives or death.

Even if he is a free and unrestrained prodigal son, he would never dare to be presumptuous here.

"Lu Xiaofeng." At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.

Lu Xiaofeng turned his head away, couldn't help being overjoyed: "Hua Man Lou, why are you here?"

Hua Manlou smiled slightly and said, "Today is a duel between two swordsmen, how can I not come?"

Lu Xiaofeng wondered: "But how did you get the ribbon, I didn't see you in the arena yesterday."

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Of course I have my own methods, but Tsing Yi Lou made a big move yesterday. In the ring, we must choose the martial arts master with the highest martial arts, the best swordsmanship, the most wealth, the best eloquence, and the most popular. There are five people in Guangzhou."

Lu Xiaofeng snorted: "Everyone who participates has to pay 100 taels of silver. I think that kid Yu Liancheng is obviously crazy about money."

"But this time the event was very successful, and everyone was very satisfied, and the five people selected were also very convincing."

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "I think if the people in Qingyilou are not stupid, they will hold it every three or five years. I have to say that Mr. Yu is indeed a genius."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help saying: "You are very satisfied with the ring, but you seem to be very dissatisfied with me. Every time we meet, you have to praise Yu boy well, do you want to drive me to death?"

Hua Manlou shrugged, and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that you have been moving around in the past two days to find out information. Did you encounter any trouble?"

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and then told the situation that he had investigated these days one by one, saying: "I think, there may be a conspiracy hidden in this decisive battle, and it is a shocking conspiracy."

Hua Manlou thought for a moment, then said: "The Forbidden City is heavily guarded, no matter what kind of conspiracy or scheme there is, it will be difficult to realize it. What's more, this matter is not something you should worry about."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's what it says..."

"You, every time there is no trouble, you like to make trouble for yourself. No matter what, I support you. If you need my help, you can say it at any time. "

Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled: "It's just that we can't solve the case if we stand here like this, let's go in first."

"Well, that sentence is quite true."

……

…………

The moon has risen.

The moon is big and round.

The moonlight is beautiful, and the beauty is intoxicating.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is in the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and the river of golden water and jade belt outside the gate of Supreme Harmony looks like a belt of golden water and jade belt under the moonlight.

A carriage was driving slowly in the palace.

There are three people in the carriage and two swords.

Prince Nan rubbed his thigh with his palm, feeling a little uneasy.

Although this matter has been planned for a long time, it is as seamless as possible, but this matter is too big.Once successful, he will be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, supreme.

But if he loses, not only will his life be lost, but the entire Nanwang Mansion will be implicated.

He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Ye Gucheng, dressed in white to win the snow, was as cold and aloof as ever, with no fluctuation in his expression.

It seemed to him that what they had to do was as simple as eating and drinking.

It's just that the palm of the hand on the knee was slightly exerted, and the knuckles turned white.

In any case, his heart is not as equal as it appears on the surface.

He is still human after all.

Yu Liancheng yawned, but he was quite calm about this matter.

Although he didn't participate in this matter in the early stage, because of his appearance, this matter has changed somewhat.

Even if Lu Xiaofeng can guess the truth of the matter, it's probably too late.

Even if this matter fails, with his lightness kung fu and swordsmanship, he can easily escape from the palace without any danger to his life, but Tsing Yi Building will be suppressed by the court and never recover from it.

For him, it's both a gamble and a fun game.

Nanwang Shizi glanced at Yu Liancheng and couldn't help but said, "Sir, aren't you nervous or scared at all?"

"Yes, although not much, but there is indeed a little." Yu Liancheng smiled and said: "It's just that in front of others, I always like to put on a show, showing that the sky is calm and the clouds are calm."

Nanwang Shizi couldn't help laughing: "Sir...Mr. is really open-minded."

Yu Liancheng looked at Prince Nan, his expression suddenly became serious: "My lord, it doesn't matter if I pretend or not, it's just a matter of face. But you must learn to pretend, whether it's now or in the future."

Prince Nan said, "Oh?"

"The whole thing is centered on you. You are the key to the success or failure of the plan. City Lord Ye and I are just two sharp swords to assist you. In a way, you are now our boss, boss If you are not confident, how can the people below have confidence.”

Yu Liancheng solemnly said: "After the matter is completed, you will be the boss of the imperial court when you sit in that position, and everyone in the world will look at your face. So... no matter how nervous or scared you are, you must at least learn to put on an appearance. Get up and plan, don't panic."

Prince Nan thought for a moment, then bowed to Yu Liancheng: "Your words are true, Xiao Wang has been educated."

Yu Liancheng picked up the jug next to him and poured a glass of wine: "If you are really nervous, you might as well have a glass of wine. But before a big event, you must not drink too much."

Prince Nan drank his glass of wine, rubbed his hands vigorously, and took a long inhale and exhale.

After seven or eight breaths like this, he was able to maintain a stable whole body, showing no tension.

At least on the surface.

dong dong dong! !

This is the footsteps of the imperial army.

Neat and majestic, it came in like a tide, and gradually dissipated after a while.

The carriage rumbled along, the windows were covered with thick cotton cloth, no one could see the situation outside through the cotton cloth.

suddenly.

The carriage stopped, and an old and wrinkled hand lifted the curtain.

A eunuch who looked like an old woman and spoke like an old woman stood outside the door and whispered: "Your Highness, Lord Ye and Lord Yu have arrived."

The curtain of the drama is slowly opened!
