"The prince empathizes, the empathy of empathy. Zhu Houyu's expression was strange, "I don't know what they think about Elder Lin in Songshan, empathize and don't fall in love......?"

"It's really weird...... Chen Hanyu also said, secretly complaining to himself in his heart, "I really think too much......"

chatting all the way, several people came to Fengtianmen, the gate of the Forbidden City. This is the last level to enter the Forbidden City, thinking that he will be able to meet the legendary "emperor" soon, even Chen Hanyu is a little excited in his heart.

There are four guards standing at the gate of Fengtianmen, who are extremely inferior to the realm, and their costumes are different from those of the guards in the imperial city. However, when Chen Hanyu and the others arrived at Fengtianmen, the four guards immediately saluted and shouted, "Welcome King Zhao!" and then stepped aside to make way for the three of them.

"After seeing these guards, they all know His Royal Highness King Zhao......" Lan Yiting laughed.

"Hey~ It's not once or twice that this king has entered the palace!" Zhu Houyu shook his hand, and then smiled at the four guards: "Do a good job! I will meet the emperor later, and I will say a few good words to you." ”

Hearing Zhu Houyu's words, the guards immediately showed excitement on their faces, but they still calmed down and arched their hands and said, "King Xie Zhao!

Looking at the respectful attitude of these four top masters, Chen Hanyu couldn't help but laugh: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is very courageous!"

"Hey, what are you talking about~ Come on, come on, hurry in!" Zhu Houyu obviously couldn't wait, and pulled Lan Yiting and Chen Hanyu into the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer dynasty is the Fengtian Hall (Taihe Palace), the Huagai Hall (Zhonghe Palace), and the Jinshen Hall (Baohe Palace), collectively referred to as the three major halls. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively referred to as the Later Three Palaces. When Chen Hanyu first arrived, he heard that the emperor was already in the Fengtian Palace, so he walked to the Fengtian Hall with Zhu Lan.

Ou Xintong has been waiting in the Fengtian Hall for a long time. Because the Forbidden City of the Palace City is not as good as the Imperial City outside, no convoy except the emperor is allowed to enter, so Ou Xintong came here alone to wait. At this time, above the court, including Ou Xintong, hundreds of civil and military officials were on both sides of the court, Emperor Zhu Houzhao sat in the middle, and behind the dragon chair, in addition to the four palace maids performing the duties of playing umbrellas and shaking fans, there was also a guard wearing black armor, hanging a sword at his waist, sharp eyes and unfathomable skills. In addition, on the left and right sides of the royal road below and in the back row of the civil and military attaché class, there are guards with swords facing each other. And standing in front of the emperor's left, facing the hundred officials, there is also a big eunuch who looks obscene, but prefers to fiddle with a folding fan and pretends to be romantic, is Liu Jin, one of the most notorious eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.

However, when Chen Hanyu and the others came in, in addition to finding this neatly standing civil and military officials, they also saw a group of uninvited guests.

"Huh?" Chen Hanyu sighed lightly, he saw that opposite Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao's location, there were seven or eight white-robed people, these people's costumes were completely different from those of many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and they looked like they stood out from the crowd.

But what really surprised Chen Hanyu was that he saw a familiar face - Zuo San Ding Wei.

At that time, at sea, Zuo San Dingwei fought Chen Hanyu with more than 100 moves as a pirate. The scene at that time was full of twists and turns, but in the end, it ended with the intervention of Kobayashi Kango, and the two did not actually separate the winners and losers.

And today, this Zuo San Ding Wei actually came to the door by himself. Then, Chen Hanyu will no longer be soft-hearted, and this time he will definitely kill the limelight of this little devil.

At the same time, Zuo San Ding Wei also saw Chen Hanyu, only to hear him snort from his nose and turn his head to look elsewhere.

Zuo San Dingwei's small movements did not attract the attention of others, because everyone turned their eyes to Chen Hanyu. Among these ministers, many people have heard of Chen Hanyu's prestige and want to see what kind of genius this is. There are also many people who come for the Golden Lock Soft Sword, after all, it is a key that can open the earth-shattering secret, and anyone wants to see it.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair and felt the magnificent aura on his body, obviously he was also a master of the top realm. I saw him look at Chen Hanyu with wide eyes for a moment, tilted his head slightly, and asked Liu Jin's back: "Gonggong Liu, this young man is the martial arts genius Chen Hanyu with the golden lock and soft sword?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Liu Jin immediately turned around, bowed to Zhu Houzhao, and then said, "Back to the emperor, this person is Chen Hanyu." ”

Then, Liu Jin complimented again: "The emperor's discerning eyes are the demeanor of a wise monarch and the blessing of the people." ”

Listening to Liu Jin's flattering words, Chen Hanyu only felt a wave of nausea in his heart, and secretly despised the other party: "It's really a dog who can only flatter and pat horses." ”

"Hahahaha~ Father-in-law Liu has won the award!" Zhu Houzhao really likes this. He laughed to himself for a while, looked at Chen Hanyu and said, "Boy, I heard that you have a good chance and got a golden lock soft sword that can open the major secrets of the previous dynasty, I don't know, can you take it out and give me and all Aiqing a feast for your eyes?"

"Emperor Mingjian!" Chen Hanyu arched his hand and said: "The younger generation does not dare to bring the blade to the court, so the golden lock soft sword is not by his side at this moment. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, "Boy Chen is quite smart, well, pass the order and bring the golden lock soft sword to the court." ”

At his command, the guards below immediately began to convey the order, and after a while, he saw two iron-armored guards coming up with a golden sword box and kneeling on the court.

Chen Hanyu looked at the golden sword box carefully, and saw that it was golden all over, thinking that it was made of gold, and the sword box was engraved with some dragon and phoenix patterns, which was estimated to symbolize the imperial court. The lid of the box is set with a huge diamond, and under the dazzling brilliance, six gems of different sizes and colors surround the large diamond, symbolizing the other six provinces of the Kyoshi except for Suncheon, and jointly maintaining the peace of the Kyoshi.

Liu Jin put away the folding fan, walked down the steps in broken steps, then turned to Zhu Houzhao, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please see!" Then with a flick of the sleeve of his right hand, several hidden buttons on the sword box were opened, and the lid of the box was turned up, revealing the bright edge of the golden lock soft sword inside.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao shouted, suddenly got up, and a heel fell off the dragon chair. His steps were fast and steady, and he dodged to the two guards. With a wave of his right hand, the golden lock soft sword was already in his hand. He swung a few moves in the main hall, and the sword light flickered, which frightened some officials who didn't know martial arts with fear on their faces and couldn't help retreating.

"Good sword! What a sword!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frown, looking at the golden lock soft sword in his hand and praised.

"Hanging but not folding, soft but not delicate...... What a good sword!" Among the group of Dongying warriors, there was a guy who seemed to be their leader, brushing his small beard, a pair of thief eyes that seemed to be indifferent, but in fact secretly stared at the golden lock soft sword.

Zhu Houzhao glanced disdainfully at the Dongying warrior, the corners of his mouth curled, and he locked his gaze on Chen Hanyu, who was standing not far away.

"Chen boy, I heard that you are young and already among the best of the younger generation. The golden lock swordsmanship in one hand is perfect, and it has the style of Luo Yuxiang, the son of the golden lock. Zhu Houzhao casually played with the golden lock soft sword, looked at Chen Hanyu and continued: "I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to see the dancing style of this golden lock soft sword." ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's words fell, before Chen Hanyu could answer, the leading Dongying warrior began to stroke his beard and laugh again: "Hahaha~ Emperor Daming is really good Yaxing, he actually likes to watch children dance with guns and swords." ”

Kato Shomoto...... If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Liu Jin didn't look at the other party, but said in his weird yin and yang voice.

Liu Jin's sarcastic words immediately angered a young man behind Kato Shaojie, who saw that his face was gloomy, and his right hand was held on the hilt of the knife with a "bang!"

"What do you want to do?" one of the guards saw the young man's movements, and immediately pulled a section of his saber from his waist. Keep your eyes on each other to prevent them from suddenly making a move.

Almost at the same time, so the guards drew a small half of their sabers. The scene suddenly became tense.

"Stand down!" Kato shouted to the young man behind him with a gloomy face and a non-turning head.

The young man's expression was obviously very unwilling, but in this Ming Dynasty, he didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he had to glare at Liu Jin fiercely, and put down his right hand helplessly.

Liu Jin snorted coldly, and said quietly: "Kato, my emperor respects your **** envoy and allows you to bring a knife into the palace, but I don't want you to do whatever you want here!"

Liu Jin's words made Chen Hanyu stunned slightly, it turned out that they were envoys sent by Dongying. Nothing to do, what do these Dongying devils want to do?

Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking at him with interest, Kato Shao's face changed for a moment, and then he arched his hand and said: "The disciple has no way to discipline him, please forgive Emperor Mingwu!"

He bowed his hand to Zhu Houzhao, actually leaving Liu Jin aside. However, Liu Jin didn't seem to care about his little tricks at all, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he saw Liu Jin arching his hand towards Zhu Houzhao and said: "If the emperor wants to see Chen Shaoxia dance the sword, we might as well have a martial arts competition with the **** delegation." First, it can add some fun to the emperor, and secondly, it can also enhance the friendship between the two sides. ”

"Eh~ Father-in-law Liu's idea is good!" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, first glanced at Chen Hanyu, and then looked at Kato Shaofeng with an inexplicable expression, the corners of his mouth curled, and he asked in their Dongying tone: "Kato-kun, what do you think?"

The emperor spoke, and many ministers below naturally turned their attention to Kato Shao and their group. For a while, this group of Dongying warriors became the core of everyone's attention, and the scene suddenly became more dramatic.

Kato's face did not change, and he could feel the eager gazes and fighting spirit behind him. Although Kato Shaofei is also very much in favor of it, he even planned to compete with the young master of Daming. But when the words come out of the other party's mouth, I always feel that the other party's words have a little provocation.

However, Kato smiled very heroically, and then said, "Okay! The emperor has a very good idea. ”

Then, Kato Shao took a few steps to the side, and then pointed to the three young samurai behind him and said: "It just so happens that this envoy also brought three **** young masters this time, if the emperor is interested, he can let these three young men from your country make a move and have a one-on-one battle." ”

When Kato Shaofei said this, his eyes were also looking at Lan Yiting and Zhu Houyu in the center of the court. The two of them came in with Chen Hanyu at that time, and because they did not get the emperor's approval, they were still standing in the center of the aisle of the court hall at this time. This was naturally seen by Kato Shaofei, so he proposed such a one-on-one competition.

Chen Hanyu had already noticed that the three young disciples behind Kato Shaoji, in addition to Zuo San Ding Wei and the young man who was just about to draw a knife, there was also a girl in her early twenties, this girl had a pair of big eyes, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, which was waist-length. Dressed in a short dress and short skirt, the upper body clothes are tightly attached to the body, showing that her figure is so concave and convex. She wears a short white skirt with black trim and black over-the-knee stockings on her legs. Among the group of samurai dressed in white, this woman was the most conspicuous.

As for Zuo San Ding Wei and the young man who drew the knife, there is also a big difference in their appearance characteristics. Among them, Zuo San Ding Wei's appearance is a little different from the one Chen Hanyu met on the sea before. At that time, Zosan Dingwei was wearing cloth clothes, and his hair was coiled on his head. And today his hair was straight and loose, not too long nor too short, just enough to cover his neck.

The young man who drew the knife really had short hair, and his eyes were sharp, and he was staring at Chen Hanyu almost all the time. Regarding the opponent's provocation, Chen Hanyu did not show anything abnormal, but secretly compared him with Zuo San Dingwei in his heart, and it is estimated that the strength of that person is still above Zuo San Dingwei.

"One-on-one, that's a good idea. Zhu Houzhao nodded, turned his head to look at Liu Jin in front of him, "What is Gonggong Liu's will?"

"Your Majesty," Liu Jin shook his head, "In addition to paying attention to individual strength, sometimes it is necessary to pay attention to team cooperation. ”

"Oh, what does Grandpa Liu mean......" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin with interest and asked.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking at him like this, Liu Jin hurriedly explained: "According to the old slave, let them go into battle three against three, will it ...... Better?" At the end, Liu Jin's eyes lit up, and at the same time, he pretended to glance at Kato Shao Fei casually, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

Hearing Liu Jin change the one-on-one competition to three against three, Chen Hanyu glanced at the old eunuch with a little surprise and pondered for a moment. He understood Liu Jin's intentions, and now among the three people on his side, they are ranked from strongest to weakest, and he is the strongest, followed by Lan Yiting, and Zhu Houyu is the weakest. And the other three are ranked in this order, it should be the strongest boy who drew the sword, followed by Zuo San Ding Wei, and the woman is the weakest. If you play one-on-one in turn, the strength of the three parties is basically evenly matched. Maybe one side will have an advantage, but it's not very safe.

It's just that Chen Hanyu is most worried about the other party's use of the "Tian Ji Horse Racing" style of play, so that Lan Yiting can fight against the boy who drew the knife, Zhu Houyu will fight against Zuo San Ding Wei, and he will fight against the weakest woman in white on the other side. Among them, Lan Yiting against the young man who drew the sword, the victory or defeat is not easy to say, but Zuo San Ding Wei has broken through the top mid-grade strength, Zhu Houyu is fighting against him, it is undoubtedly defeated, even if it is on his own side, the other party may also consider the possibility of pity and cherishing jade. It can be said that this one-on-one battle looks fair, but since Daming is the home court this time, it must take the lead, that is, Chen Hanyu and others will play first before the opponent selects the players to play. It's like rock-paper-scissors, where others wait for you to make a move every time before choosing the appropriate restraint method based on your shot, which is absolutely unfair.

It's just that Liu Jin is who, Kato Shaofei can't really hide such a little trick from him, just one sentence, and Kato Shaofei's face is extremely gloomy. However, the arrow was on the bow, and Kato Shaojie had no way back, so he had to agree to this three-on-three competition.

"Even if you lose your ranking, you can't lose face, this is the so-called samurai spirit. Looking at Kato Shao's deflated appearance, Chen Hanyu secretly scoffed.

Looking at the three young samurai over there, the eyes of the young man who had just drawn his sword also turned to his side, and the two looked at each other and looked away in an instant. However, at this time, they all thought the same thing in their hearts, that is: "Boy, wait for death!"
