Before the sun had fully risen, Zhao Liang and the three of them were woken up by the attendants, saying that the early dynasty had begun, so they should quickly wash up and clean up, and then go to the main hall to wait.

Zhao Liang was sleepy-eyed, looking at the half-dim sky outside, thinking that this emperor is really not good, and he starts working before dawn every day. Under the constant urging of the little eunuch, they got dressed and had some breakfast, and then Shi Shiran came to the square in front of the main hall.

The head of the lights-out road pointed to the Dharma platform to the west and told Zhao Liang that the lower side was the place where the oil was stored. Zhao Liang and Xu Fu watched carefully, and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that the Dharma platform was about one person more than one person high, more than a dozen steps square, and the octagonal shape was secretly in line with the direction of the eight trigrams. The bottom of the altar is not open, but is completely sealed from top to bottom by heavy wooden boards, not to mention that you can't directly see the situation inside, even if you want to disassemble it, it takes a lot of effort.

Above the two altars are flags painted with stars and beasts, as well as some strange charms. There is a special flag in the flag forest on both sides, one flag reads "National Teacher Beichen", and the other is "Aquarius Zhao Liang". And Zhao Liang's flag is planted on the platform where he has done his hands and feet.

Xu Fu said in a low voice: "The surrounding area of the Dharma platform is so tightly sealed, it is estimated that most of them have something like a lead exposed, otherwise it will not be effective." Let's look carefully, it shouldn't be difficult to find. ”

Zhao Liang looked at it according to his words, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any clues, but he suddenly said when the lights went out: "Hey, it's over there." ”

Zhao Liang and Xu Fu followed the direction of his finger to take a closer look, and found that between the two altars, there were twenty-eight small wooden beasts, which were not only decorations representing the twenty-eight stars, but also symbolizing some mysterious spell layout. And one of the small wooden snakes on the south side looked a little unusual.

On closer inspection, it was revealed that the wood carving was indeed partially buried in the ground, and the part that fell on it was also drenched in fire oil.

Xu Fu scolded: "Beichen Lao'er is really cunning! The winged fire snake in the Southern Vermilion Bird Star Palace is originally the Heavenly Mars Nakshatra, which has the effect of hooking flames. And the throne where the emperor watched the fighting method was set up in the north high place, the farthest away from there, and he was not afraid of being detected by His Majesty in advance, damn it! ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "Well, I know, let's adapt later." ”

While the three of them were talking, a melodious bell suddenly sounded from the hall not far in front of them, and Xu Fu said, "This is the scattered dynasty." ”

With his words, the main entrance of the main hall slowly pushed open, and Qin Shi Huang, who was wearing a dragon robe, strode out under the arch guard of the forbidden army, and went straight to the throne to sit down. The civil and military officials followed him, and they came out in an orderly manner, standing in turn according to the pre-demarcated area.

During the whole process, only the footsteps of brushing and brushing could be heard, and there was no other noisy movement, showing the high degree of discipline unique to the Great Qin Empire.

In a few moments, the large battle of two or three hundred people was laid out on the imperial steps in front of the palace, quietly waiting for Qin Shi Huang's order.

The chamberlain sang loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, please meet the national teacher and Mr. Zhao Liang——"

Hearing this, Zhao Liang hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then led the Lights Out Daoist and Xu Fu to walk quickly to the bottom of the imperial steps, and Beichen Zhenren also appeared next to them at the same time with the two disciples. The six of them bowed down in unison and saluted Qin Shi Huang.

I only heard Qin Shi Huang say: "You guys are flat, you don't have to be polite." You and others are all my guests, and they have a great deal to do with the great cause of immortality. I only hope that you will be loyal to the Lord and do your best, and do not let down my trust. As soon as there is hope for immortality and immortality comes true, I will not treat you badly! ”

The six men at the foot of the stairs hurriedly said yes, then bowed again before standing up.

Qin Shi Huang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Today's master's fighting method is really rare." Who are you all fighting? ”

Beichen Zhenren replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is not talented, and the disciples Tianxuanxing and Yuhengxing are the protectors of the Dharma and perform on the same stage." ”

When Zhao Liang heard him say this, he immediately said in his heart: Damn, it turned out to be those two fish that slipped through the net. The night before, when the lights out Dao Chang was in the Sifang Mountain Regiment to destroy the Lingxiao Palace, he got rid of a few heads, and he dared to come out in a grand manner at this time, this cheeky person is thick enough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party. The two people standing behind Beichen, one of them was a shorter middle-aged man, with five strands of long hair on his pale face, just looking at his white and blue face, it was not difficult to know that this guy must be the Tianxuan Star who was known for alchemy and poison refining and had a heart like a snake and scorpion.

And to Zhao Liang's great surprise, it was Yu Hengxing next to Tianxuan Xing, who was actually a young girl. I saw that she had delicate eyebrows, dignified appearance, and vaguely exuded a melancholy temperament, especially like the dream goddess that Zhao Liang had been secretly in love with for three years in high school.

At this time, Xu Fu stretched out his hand, gently pulled Zhao Liang, who was a little in a trance, and reminded in a low voice: "Immortal Chief, Your Majesty is asking." ”

Zhao Liang was shocked when he heard this, and secretly scolded himself for being too unproductive, and then hurriedly said: "Eh, Your Majesty, I am with two senior brothers, I am the main attacker, and they assist." ”

"Okay, hahaha, let's get started." Qin Shi Huang said happily.

The three of Beichen's master and apprentice obeyed the order, turned around and were about to take the stage, but unexpectedly, Zhao Liang suddenly said: "Eh...... Wait! ”

Qin Shi Huang was also stunned and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Zhao Liang?" ”

Zhao Liang first glanced at the ministers on both sides of Qin Shi Huang, found Zhao Gao standing in the crowd, and then said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have a proposal!" ”

"What a proposal, let's hear it." Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but be a little curious: "Is it related to the fighting method competition later?" ”

"It's really related," Zhao Liang pretended to glance at Zhao Gao casually, and said, "Our three brothers want to exchange the Dharma platform with the national teacher." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gao, who had been expressionless, suddenly changed his expression, slanted a pair of small eyes, and stared at Zhao Liang viciously, with an indescribable panic and anger in his eyes.

This reaction is exactly what Zhao Liang wants to see the most, not only not to let the other party's treacherous plan succeed, but also to counter the army, making it difficult for Beichen to ride a tiger and fidget.

Qin Shi Huang is the first monarch of ancient and modern times, and grew up in an environment of deceit and life and death struggle since he was a child. It can be said that he has a natural sensitivity to the smell of any conspiracy. When he heard Zhao Liang suddenly make such a request, Qin Shi Huang also subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Gao, and then asked Zhao Liang: "Why did Mr. propose to exchange the Dharma platform?" ”

Zhao Liang grinned and replied, "If I say that I just want to change, there is no other reason, Your Majesty, do you believe it?" ”

Qin Shi Huang also smiled faintly and said, "Of course I believe it." It's just that in that case, there seems to be no need to change it. ”

Zhao Liang was about to speak again, but Beichen Zhenren, who was standing next to him, suddenly sneered and said sarcastically: "Hmph, if Mr. Zhao is worried about losing the battle for a while, then why just admit defeat now, why bother?" ”

Xu Fu had already been on fire for a long time, and couldn't help but sneer at each other: "National Teacher, if you are quite confident in this battle, then what's the harm in changing the Dharma platform?" ”

"Joke!" Tian Xuanxing was dissatisfied: "On the Dharma platform, the flag arrays of both sides have already been arranged, is it possible that they will be replaced together?" Such a toss is clearly a timidity and deliberate delay! ”

"We're scared?" Xu Fu's mouth was baliso, and he didn't let it go at all: "When my senior brother beat you with your head and running away, you didn't see any cowardice." ”

As soon as he said this, he was speechless when he landed Tianxuan Xingqi, and his miserable old face actually blushed.

Beichen Zhenren's face sank, and he said angrily: "Xu Fu, today is a stage fight, don't do a senseless battle of words." Whether it will be changed or not, please let Your Majesty decide. ”

At this time, Qin Shi Huang on the throne groaned slightly, and did not rush to speak. He had never imagined in advance that today's battle had not yet begun, and there would be such twists and turns. That Zhao Liang's proposal to exchange the Dharma platform in a dignified manner, presumably there must be something else hidden in it, but what is the matter? You have to figure it out first.

"Mr. Zhao Liang, I know that you Fangshi have always been very disciplined and exquisite, and no matter what you do, you are mysterious and secretive," Qin Shi Huang said with a smile: "However, if you don't give me a reasonable reason today, this Dharma Platform cannot be replaced." ”

Zhao Liang listened to Qin Shi Huang's words in his ears, but his eyes peeked at Zhao Gao from time to time, only to see that guy's eyes flickering, obviously surprised, wondering why Zhao Liang suddenly made this request.

That somewhat helpless expression fell in Zhao Liang's eyes, which was really funny. He turned his head to look to the side, and saw Xu Fuchong nodding slightly to himself, obviously seeing Zhao Gao's nervousness, so he said loudly at the royal steps: "Your Majesty, the reason why I asked for an exchange is because the Fatai has been tricked. To be precise, under our legal platform, a large amount of fire oil was secretly hidden! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gao, who was standing in the crowd, almost fell, and his eyes were full of panic. And Beichen Zhenren was also taken aback, and said hurriedly: "Zhao Liang, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to frame this seat?! ”

Qin Shi Huang was not too surprised by this answer, he just frowned slightly and said lightly: "Oh? Is there such a thing? How do you know? ”

Zhao Liang didn't dare to tell the story of running around in the palace at night when the lights went out, so he had to answer: "Your Majesty, I and other warlocks are all familiar with divination, and many things are clear to you with a finger. As for whether it works or not, you only need to disassemble the wooden plank under the stage and see it at a glance! ”

"Your Majesty, Zhao Liang, this is pure nonsense!" Beichen was also a little panicked at this time, and hurriedly said: "Those two Dharma platforms were indeed built by Weichen yesterday with Lord Zhongche Fuling, but he definitely didn't do anything. Zhao Liang spewed blood, just to confuse the public and delay the fighting method, and asked His Majesty to investigate. ”

"National Teacher, since you implore Your Majesty to be clear, wouldn't it be good to tear down the board of the Fatai." Xu Fu teased beside him.

Beichen couldn't manage it so much, and hurriedly reprimanded: "You said that it will be demolished? Do you want Your Majesty and the civil and military officials to just bask in the sun and wait? ”

Xu Fu shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Otherwise? If you are not willing to change it, and you are not willing to dismantle it, do you have a war of words? ”

Zhao Liang saw that the other party was almost playing, and once again arched his hand to Qin Shi Huang and said: "Caomin, please ask Your Majesty for permission, take apart the table and take a look!" ”

Qin Shi Huang saw that the trouble had reached this point, and if it was not demolished, it would have to be demolished, and he was about to agree to Zhao Liang's request, but Zhao Gao, who was not far away, suddenly ran out of the queue, fell to his knees, and struggled with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are doing things according to orders, but I didn't expect to be slandered and framed." The minister is wronged! Surrender or disobedience! Zhao Liang can dismantle the stage, but he has to gamble with his ministers! If you don't dare, this board must not be dismantled! ”
