On 14 August, an earth-shattering upheaval took place in the East China Sea.

The first to be sensed was Qin Tianjian. In places like Qin Tianjian, where most of them are gods, there has always been disagreement, but on this day, they unanimously observed the chaos on the East China Sea. All martial arts on the rivers and lakes have reached the level of Zhixuan, and they have sensed the changes in the fortune of the world.

It stands to reason that now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the Supervisor of Qintian should report good news and not bad news, but on this day, the Supervisor of Qintian urgently entered the palace and had a twist and turn. In the afternoon of the same day, a holy decree was issued in the palace, declaring that the capital had entered a state of martial law. First, all the people must stay at home, and without a pass, they are forbidden to go out, and if they are caught, they will be killed without mercy; second, on the 15th of August, it is strictly forbidden for the people in the city to make fires and make food, and if they violate, the Baojiali in the city will be exiled. The third is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is strictly forbidden to admire the moon in the courtyard.

This holy decree, within two hours, spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and the guards and husbands of Shuntianfu beat the gong from door to door to convey this holy decree to every home.

For a time, rumors spread in the capital.

Some people say that chaos will be born, and the world is about to be in chaos. It is also said that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the power has been hollowed out by Song Sixian, and now he is imprisoned in the palace, and the students of Taixue even organized and asked to see the emperor.

However, only a few people know that the person who caused today's image is Xie Junyan.

The more this is the case, the more fearful the hearts of the people become. The gangsters and scoundrels in the capital began to make trouble. Near Guangqu Gate, there was even a smashing and looting incident, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xiao Dingyuan, a soldier and horse in the five cities, was ordered to transfer the 30,000 Xiao family troops who were resting outside the capital and were on standby to the capital.

This Dingbei army fought against the Northern Zhou outside the pass all the year round, and there was already a murderous aura on its body, and it didn't take long for the rebellion to be quelled, and dozens of heads hung in Zhushikou Square. Xiao Jiajun replaced the officers and soldiers of the Ninety Soldiers and Horses Division and the six gates, and took over the guarding of the entire capital.

In the streets and alleys of the capital, Xiao Jiajun wearing armor and holding swords can be seen everywhere. People began to realize the seriousness of the matter, the whole capital people were panicked, unable to live, and even some people began to make up their minds, wanting to escape from the capital by buying the city gate generals, but the Xiao family army has always been strict in governing the army, and after this strategy did not succeed, some people resigned themselves to hiding at home.

In the blink of an eye, it was August 15th.

Early in the morning, I sat with Xu Ruonan for breakfast, because I couldn't make a fire, breakfast was very simple, a pot of cold porridge cooked last night, a dish of vegetable leaves, just a fire. I ate very slowly, chewing slowly with each bite, Xu Ruonan saw that I was absent-minded, and asked, is there something?

I smiled slightly, looked at her emaciated face, and said, I'm going out today, and I may come back late.

Xu Ruonan said that now that the capital is under martial law, what are you going to do when you go out?

I said, see a man.

Xu Ruonan said tentatively, Xie Junyan?

I nodded, I had some accounts to settle with her.

Xu Ruonan is such a smart person, he quickly guessed it, so he said, then I will accompany you.

I shook my head and said solemnly, tonight's incident is very dangerous, you are now recovering from a serious illness, and you need to carefully cultivate, if you go together, it will distract me, it is better to rest at home, and I have no worries. When Xu Ruonan heard this, he didn't say much, stood up, and said, I'll serve you porridge.

I picked up the bowl and drank it all, Xu Ruonan smiled, eat slowly, like a starving ghost. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the corners of my mouth for me. I laughed and said I was full. So he got up and was about to go out.

Pushing the door of the chamber and going out, he was meeting Zhang Youqian, who was wearing a short dress today, and said, I will accompany you.

I have a headache, I persuaded Xu Ruonan just now, and now he wants to go with him again, I know that he is worried about me, but I still refuse him. I said, tonight's incident is very dangerous, among all people, you and I have the highest martial arts, if we all go out, who will take care of them in the Zhang Mansion? If it is really a brother, then I will stay at home, and I will have no worries.

When Zhang Youqian heard this, he gave up.

I was about to push the door out, Zhang Youqian suddenly said, come back alive.

I grinned, you have said that if I die, this book will not be a prison. Rest assured, no matter what, today's events will be settled.

After only half a mile of travel, he was stopped by a group of officers and soldiers on the road, and stopped! What are you doing?

I said I was going to the Imperial Palace! An officer and soldier said, "What kind of place is the Imperial Palace?" Now that the capital is under martial law, you don't have a pass, and you are walking around the streets, do you want to resist the decree? But the leader heard that I was going to the palace, so he sent someone to inform Xiao Dingyuan.

Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and when he turned the street, a heroic general came, not a bystander, it was Xiao Dingyuan, the commander of the Nine Gates and the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities. Coming to the front, Xiao Dingyuan turned over and dismounted, he was wearing armor, but he arched his hand at me with the courtesy of the rivers and lakes, and said, Brother Su, after many years, I didn't expect to meet you here.

The last time I saw Xiao Dingyuan, it was when I first came out of the Holy Gate to come to the capital and drink with him.

I also returned the salute and said, I made an appointment tonight, please be accommodating.

Xiao Dingyuan nodded, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to me. I thanked him repeatedly, Xiao Dingyuan is a person from the military, so he naturally knows what happened tonight, so he said, I should invite you to have a drink when I see old friends today, but now the situation is critical, Xiao Mou replaced wine with water, and gave Brother Su a glass!

A subordinate had already served tea, I picked up the teacup and drank it all, laughed and said, wait for this matter, I will ask you to fight 300 cups of wine, to see who is more cowardly!

Xiao Dingyuan said loudly, a word is a certainty!

Xiao Dingyuan was on official business, so he toasted another glass of water and wine, and the two said goodbye.

I have Xiao Dingyuan token in my hand, and the soldiers patrolling on the road saw this thing and didn't feel too embarrassed for me.

Unconsciously, I came to the Dongzhi Gate. Suddenly, someone shouted from behind, Your Excellency is Mr. Su You?

When I turned around, I saw a man standing in the middle of the long street, looking at me. This person is not tall, more than fifty years old, wearing a green cloth robe, his eyes are different, he is obviously a very capable person, but looking at the fluctuations of his internal force, it is ordinary and there is nothing special.

So I said, "I don't know what your Excellency is called?"

The man said, under the surname Li Minglaifu, is the big boss of the Central Plains Dart Bureau.

I was shocked, the Central Plains Dart Bureau is the world's first dart game, the big boss Li Laifu, is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, not how high his martial arts are, but for the righteousness, good and generous, there are people in distress in the rivers and lakes, and there are many helps, in black and white is very open, so over the years, the cargo bodyguards of the Central Plains Dart Bureau rarely miss. A few years ago, there were a few people who did not open their eyes in the green forest, robbed the dart car of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, and three days later, the robber personally beat the gong and drum, and sent the robbed dart goods back. In this way, the Central Plains Dart Bureau is more famous, and the guests also choose the Central Plains Dart Game when they are betting on the darts.

I hurriedly said respectfully, disrespectful, disrespectful, I don't know if Li Dangjia found his juniors, what advice do you have?

Li Laifu smiled and said, he didn't dare to give advice. A month ago, an old man from the Dart Bureau asked us to bet a dart from the east, asking us to deliver a piece of food to you on the 15th of August. As soon as I finished speaking, two people came to me with a wooden box.

Li Laifu said, please ask Brother Su to open the box and inspect the goods, if there is no problem, please sign on the dart list.

I was full of suspicion, and said that I had no friends in the east, but since the other party said so, I tore off the fire clay and seal on the wooden box, pressed the box button, and opened the wooden box, and my eyes were immediately attracted by the contents of the wooden box.

Inside the box is a sword.

The sword is more than four feet long, and the scabbard is forged from fine iron with an ancient pattern on it, making it look very delicate. I reached out and took my sword out, and the moment my hand touched the wooden box, a shock struck my mind, and a familiar feeling flooded into my heart.

Since I entered the rivers and lakes, I have never had a fixed blade, a spear, a heavenly sword, a broken sword that seals thousands of miles, and almost everything. However, when I held the sword, I felt as if it was alive, as if the sword was born to belong to me.

I was secretly happy in my heart, although I didn't know who the person who was holding the dart was, but being able to send such a handy blade at such a moment gave me a little more confidence in what happened tonight. I pressed the sword spring with my hand, only to hear a dragon's groan, the long sword sheath out, I pulled out the sword with my right hand, but saw that the sword body was red all over, and the surface of the sword body was faintly glowing with a faint luster.

I couldn't help but praise, what a sword!

turned the sword body around, but saw that under the sword body, two words were engraved in seal script, Lu Long.
