This is Jianghu

Chapter 359
The imperial city has always had an aura of desolation. Ordinary ordinary people are not very willing to approach this place.

This dynasty is already precarious, with constant foreign enemies and internal strife, it seems that the royal aura planted by Emperor Taizu has been exhausted, and it looks fragile and ready to fall at any time.

One step further is the Forbidden Palace. Zhang Liheng's eyes are cold, and the Wentian Sword is quietly in his hand.Zhang Liheng didn't know where Kong Nanshan would flee to, but this place was the easiest way to find him.Kong Nanshan is the emperor's grand teacher, if he wants to take refuge in the rivers and lakes, this place is the best.

Zhang Liheng didn't know whether the huge palace in front of him was because of the masters like clouds in the palace or because people in the Jianghu were unwilling to set foot in it. No one in the Jianghu had set foot in it so far.Even Zhang Liheng's master, the inexplicable hero of a generation of arrogance, had never been close to this place.

Zhang Liheng didn't think too much about it, and with the Wentian Sword in his hand, he just strode forward.

As soon as the Forbidden Army of the imperial city who had been paying attention to Zhang Liheng saw Zhang Liheng walking forward, they all pointed at Zhang Liheng with their swords, guns and halberds, and shouted in a cold voice: "No matter who comes, if you don't turn back, you will be killed!" The people who broke in would only speak out to make them turn back, but now they are full of murderous intent when they open their mouths. It is obvious that Zhang Liheng is not a good person. They are the masters who are guarding this sensitive place day and night. .

Seeing the dozens of swords facing him, Zhang Liheng didn't slow down his pace, and kept walking forward.Seeing this, the imperial city guards didn't talk nonsense, more than a dozen people moved together to take it from Zhang Liheng with a tacit understanding.

Zhang Liheng's eyes turned cold, and the Wentian sword was unsheathed in his hand, and he took a step forward, swiping the sword out of thin air, and then heard the sound of the weapon falling to the ground.Before those imperial guards had time to react, Zhang Liheng took three steps forward, and the Wentian Sword had already been put back into its scabbard.

There were 15 people in total, and [-] weapons, only half of them were left in their hands, but no one was injured, and they all stood there dumbfounded.By the time they came to their senses, Zhang Liheng was nowhere to be seen. The leader hastily threw half of the weapon in his hands aside, flew onto the city wall, and knocked the huge copper bell "buzzing".

When Zhang Liheng came to this place, he only wanted Kong Nanshan's life. Besides, he didn't want to hurt anyone else, and he let the guards behind him ring the alarm bell of the forbidden palace.

The bell from the huge copper bell spread far into the depths of the palace. In a brightly lit hall, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, the emperor of the current dynasty, was reviewing the scriptures under the lights, and was also heard. This burst of alarm bells startled me.

Beside the emperor was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, who stood respectfully aside.The middle-aged man saw that His Majesty was frowned by the alarm bells, so he said: "Your Majesty, there are always some unsettling things happening in the palace during this period. The guards on the palace walls are too nervous. It seems that some ignorant people broke into the palace by mistake." The door, causing them to panic and ring the alarm bell indiscriminately, Your Majesty need not worry." After saying that, he ordered an eunuch beside him to check what happened.

The emperor nodded, then picked up the booklet on the table and looked at it. At this time, Zhang Liheng had passed through the second level of guards in the Forbidden Palace, and was meeting the third level of Ouchi guards.

It is well known that the palace is heavily guarded, but if one has not experienced it personally, there is no way to deeply understand the word "strict".

For the guards of the first two levels, martial arts can only belong to the second-rate. When it comes to the guards of the third level, this is the real master.

There were not many people in front of Zhang Liheng, not even ten, a total of nine people, all of them were dressed in strong clothes, with swords on their waists, and sharp eyes, looking directly at Zhang Liheng in front of them like nine daggers.

Zhang Liheng didn't emit a trace of sword energy, but he gave the nine guards in front of him a sense of danger.These nine inner guards were not like the previous two batches of guards on the palace wall, and they had to shout twice before they shot. After they heard the alarm, they found Zhang Liheng, stopped in front of Zhang Liheng, and only looked back and forth. Two eyes, no words, just make a move, the move is a killer move.

As soon as the nine big inner guards made a move, with four swords and five knives, Zhang Liheng took a quick look in his mind, and he already had a measure in his heart.If these nine people were placed in the rivers and lakes, they would all be top-notch masters. Four swords and five knives came intertwined, blocking Zhang Liheng's way out and way out.

Fast and ruthless, it is obvious that these nine masters are well versed in the principle of pre-emptive strikes. If Jiang Haishan, Iron Sword Taoist and others face the joint attack of these nine masters, they will probably not be able to escape the sword. Bad luck.

Zhang Liheng's body flickered and moved within a small range. He dodged the swords of the nine inner guards one by one, but the Wentian sword in his hand was still not out of its sheath.

These nine inner guards were not the first two batches of guards on the palace wall. If Zhang Liheng's Wentian Sword was drawn out of its sheath, their lives would definitely be taken. Zhang Liheng didn't want to do this, so the sword in his hand didn't come out of its sheath for a long time, but kept dodging.Zhang Liheng, who is pregnant with gossip and free steps, is not in much danger in the shadow of swords, lights and swords.

But Zhang Liheng is now in the inner palace, the longer he stays in the same place, the more unfavorable it will be for him, he can't spend endless time with these nine inner guards.After dodging the No. 13 combination of swords and swords by the nine guards, Zhang Liheng finally took the initiative to make a move. In the corner of the gloomy palace, there was a wave of swords that filled the sky.

Seeing the gap in the moment when the opponent's rigorous sword light and sword shadow were changing, Zhang Liheng pointed to the sword, and a sword energy was emitted from between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand. Qian, like a gust of wind and rain, all of them hit the nine bodyguards without falling.

After the sound of popping beans, the nine guards had countless acupoints blocked all over their bodies, and none of them could move a single bit.Zhang Liheng leaped away, just in time to dodge the four swords and five knives coming from the other party, but chopped a half-human tall stone lion to pieces.

Zhang Liheng's strength is very well controlled. The sword rain just now was able to seal the acupuncture points on the opponent's nine people, preventing them from moving for three hours. In addition, even the nine of them had no clothes Broken in half.Even if no one releases the acupoints, the acupoints on the nine master guards will be automatically released after three hours.

Under the order of the little eunuch, the bronze bell in the palace stopped at this time.While the middle-aged man in brocade clothes beside the emperor was quietly answering the emperor's question, his ears were constantly trembling slightly.

At the same moment Zhang Liheng dealt with the nine guards, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and then he said to the ninety-five supreme emperor beside him: "Your Majesty, I want to go out and see Did anything happen?"

After hearing this, the emperor chuckled and said, "Ming Xuanqing, you are a literati, even if something happens in the palace, it cannot be handled by you, a powerless civil servant. Isn't it?" After the emperor finished speaking, he still saw the absent-minded look of the servant named "Ming Xuan", so he smiled and waved his hands and said, "That's all, Ming Xuanqing, you want to go out for a walk Just go out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man saluted the emperor, and then slowly walked out of the hall.

Ji Mingxuan, this middle-aged man who can serve the emperor late at night, and who can walk freely in the forbidden palace with the emperor's permission, if he doesn't know, who would believe that he is just a young man? Little Qipin Beijing official.

After Ji Mingxuan came out of the main hall, he swayed and disappeared in front of the hall. Such a peerless master is nowhere near the powerless literati that the emperor said just now.

In the time that Ji Mingxuan spoke to the emperor, Zhang Liheng over there had already crossed the interception of a major internal guard.

When Zhang Liheng lightly jumped onto the high tiles of a desolate palace in front of him, he could already see the brightest hall in the palace.It was impossible for Zhang Liheng to find Kong Nanshan, who was as cunning as an old fox, but Kong Nanshan's master, the current emperor, was there, and the emperor naturally had a way to find Kong Nanshan. Zhang Liheng only needed to find the emperor.

Zhang Liheng jumped down from the tile roof. He had successfully led all the inner guards to the other side, and the path leading to the emperor's hall was unimpeded.

But just as Zhang Liheng jumped onto the ground and was about to move forward, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him without a sound. It was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes. Under the weak light, the fish bag just reflected and flashed in front of Zhang Liheng's eyes.

In this world, there are people who can prevent Zhang Liheng from noticing his lightness kung fu, which can be counted on the palm of his hand, and today there is another one.

Zhang Liheng looked at the well-mannered middle-aged man in front of him, and unconsciously clenched the Wentian Sword in his hand. The other party's at least back-to-basics skills and lightness skills that he couldn't detect were enough to make Zhang Liheng feel this kind of imminence. The feeling of archenemy.

Ji Mingxuan, with a low official position, was the number one celebrity around the emperor at that time, and he was more trusted by the emperor than Kong Nanshan, the grand master who had not been seen for a long time.About Ji Mingxuan's background, only a few people know that he was chosen by the late emperor to assist the emperor since he was a child.

Ji Mingxuan looked at the young man in front of him, and said firstly, "Young man, what's your name?"
