Chapter 114: All eyes on you
By the time Wang Quan's butt hit the chair again, he had already appeared in the palace.
Of course, the imperial palace of the Great Zhou in this world is not called the Forbidden City.
The Top of the Forbidden City refers to the Forbidden Pavilion, which is an attic in the Taiji Palace, which is the tallest building in the imperial city, and is usually used as the office of the cabinet ministers.
However, Wang Quan and Duan Zhige were not here at the moment, and the two of them were in the office of the Inspector who could perfectly see the roof of the Forbidden Pavilion.
The inspector, according to Wang Quan's understanding, is a weakened version of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Or rather, the inspection team.
Their task is to supervise hundreds of officials, of course, covertly.
However, it only has the power of supervision, not the power of law enforcement.
The official organization with law enforcement powers is called the Flying Eagle Army.
It has only the power to enforce the law, but not the power to supervise.
This is also a balancing strategy of the Great Zhou royal family.
Although there will be problems, in this world, the whole is not bad.
It's just that what Wang Quan didn't expect was that the current supervision envoy was actually a member of the Demon Gate.
Looking at the middle-aged man standing respectfully in front of him, Wang Quan raised his eyebrows, "So you guys are entering the Great Zhou Imperial Court?" ”
The supervision of the embassy has great power, only the supervision power has no law enforcement power, and often investigates a matter in the officialdom, and the emperor will send the imperial history and the supervision envoy at the same time.
One is in the light, the other is in the dark, and then the two sides come together.
In addition, there is the investigation department of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department.
This is a three-pronged approach that ensures that the content of the survey is as authentic as possible.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and didn't answer.
Still standing with his back to the middle-aged man and looking at the Forbidden Pavilion through the window, the peerless boss who had recovered his form, answered his question:
"Twenty years ago, the Buddha-figures were united...... The Holy Gate, at that time, allowed those who did not wish to remain in the Holy Gate to leave on their own. The Holy Gate will not pursue them, nor will it seek out where they will go in the future. From then on, everyone was separated from each other, and each had nothing to do with it.
"Of course, everyone knows that this is just a scene, but there are also people who try to leave, and seeing that the deity is not pursued, there are a lot more people who leave."
Of course, the Demon Gate will also mix sand in it, but just to grasp the information, those are harmless things.
Since the unification of the Demon Gate, the strategy of the Demon Gate has changed.
They are now deeply involved in the local operation of the Great Northwest, and there are very few U-turn transactions.
The main thing is that he is not interested, his only interest is to find a strong competition, and then improve himself.
It's a pity that I haven't found a powerful one for decades.
Those people are one step behind.
This is also one of the reasons why Wu Guren changed their thinking and betrayed their teachers one by one.
The common enemy is gone, and everyone will definitely be idle to think about this and that.
After a long time, the natural mentality changed.
The middle-aged man didn't look like a spy, on the contrary, he was more like a scholar.
Arching his hand, he cautiously tested, "Lord, I don't know why I came to Chang'an this time?" ”
"Just watch the competition." Zhi Ge replied lightly, "What does the emperor think about this?" ”
"No opinion." The middle-aged man replied honestly, "I have already reported this matter, but Your Majesty has not reacted. Later, the matter gradually spread throughout the rivers and lakes, but His Majesty still did not react.
"Your Majesty just ordered someone to send the three princes out of Chang'an, and the supervision envoy is only responsible for sending the King of Jin to each other, and he is in Suzhou at the moment."
"Oh, interesting."
The contemporary emperor had thirteen sons and seventeen daughters.
But he only sent away three princes, but the most important prince did not......
In addition to the three princes guarding the border passes, there are still seven princes and seventeen princesses in the capital at this moment.
"Boy, what do you think the emperor's purpose is?"
"It doesn't matter what, no matter what his purpose is, the seniors will stop him, won't they."
Wang Quan had a faint smile on his face.
"Heh......" is noncommittal.
They both chuckled silently.
The overseer could not sit still, but he only dared to stand aside and did not dare to speak.
He only had the strength of the Innate Realm, and in front of these two people, he didn't dare to move at all.
After a while, Wang Quan asked a question, "Senior, if the two of them fight, the scope of influence is too great, and even ...... It may hurt the people in the city, what should the seniors do? ”
Zhu Zhige's answer did not surprise Wang Quan.
"Natural selection of the fittest survives, and only the strong can survive. If sentient beings are ants, if they die in the city, they are destined to be like this, and it is no wonder that others are so dead. ”
"yes, I see."
Wang Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he threw aside his good impression of Jiezhige.
He already understood the other side's position.
Needless to say, when the time comes, everyone is the enemy.
Wang Quan closed his eyes and quietly adjusted his breath.
He had already arranged the things that should be arranged in advance, and the rest was waiting for the opportunity.
Not much to say.
In silent waiting, the sun sets, the full moon hangs high, and the stars fill the sky.
The originally brightly lit palace was still brightly lit, but the candles in the Taiji Hall were all extinguished, and the moonlight and starlight could only cast a faint white light on the roof.
The Tai Chi Hall soon became lively.
Masters from all walks of life came one after another.
There are Wu people who Wang Quan knows, including Su Zicheng, Xuan Jue and Li Yi'an.
There were other people Wang Quan didn't know.
However, according to perception, this group of people is almost all integrated into the heaven and earth.
The worst is also the master of the innate realm.
There are only 100 innate masters with names and surnames on the rivers and lakes, but now there are forty or fifty people gathered here, and almost half of the innate masters in the world have come.
There are naturally many Taoist natural environments, and it is estimated that there are more than 20 people.
Even Wang Quan saw the grassland people with oil paint on their faces, braided hair, and Nanzhao people wearing silver ornaments.
Luo Xiao's group of people who were in the Holy Fasting did not come, and many people from the other three holy places also came.
However, they stood separately, and Li Yi'an and Xuan Jue did not pass.
The Forbidden Army did not move, but a beardless eunuch and a heavily armored general stood along.
Presumably, the emperor also acquiesced in this behavior.
Those who are not strong enough will naturally be stopped from the imperial city.
Everyone stood in twos and threes, and those who knew each other smiled and said hello in a low voice.
Some people who don't like each other or have grievances don't stab each other, but look at each other coldly.
I guess I might find a place to do it later.
But the two main masters have not yet arrived.
Wang Quan chuckled, "It's quite big." ”
Jie Zhige didn't look back, and said lightly: "The two of them have arrived, but they are accumulating 'momentum'. ”
Wang Quan was noncommittal.
He didn't understand and wasn't interested.
In his understanding, whoever is strong is strong, and the state is imposing or something...... It's just an excuse that isn't strong enough.
After waiting for a while, Wang Quan felt Ah Jiu's breath.
Right above my head, I should have reached the roof of this building.
Wang Quan didn't move, and Ah Jiu didn't move either.
But he's relieved.
So he glanced at Zhige, walked over to him and joined him, and then looked at the top of the Forbidden Pavilion.
The full moon is rising, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, the two temporary protagonists have finally arrived today.
Everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and a black-clothed figure appeared on the left side of the top of the Forbidden City.
This person's face was grim, with a cinnabar mole in the center of his eyebrows, and a sharp blade in his hand had not yet been unsheathed, but he himself was like a sharp blade piercing the sky, making people's eyes sore when they looked at it.
The third on the heavenly list, the Sword Saint Xiao Se.
This person learned swords at an early age, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Until he met the "savage king" Lu Santu of the year.
is also a genius newcomer, but Xiao Se was directly beaten by Lu Santu to autism.
After that, Xiao Se left the Central Plains to travel to Fusang, fought all over Fusang's invincible opponents, single-handedly created the "Five Kills Sword Technique" to the realm, and after returning to the Central Plains, he broke through one after another, until he became the second in the heavenly list.
He relied on more than just talent.
He was practicing his sword when others were practicing, he was practicing sword when others were resting, and he was still practicing sword when others were eating and sleeping.
God rewards hard work, nothing more.
After that, with a melodious erhu sound, Xu Wuming, the second sword god on the heavenly list, also appeared.
I saw that he was dressed in white and snowy, and the old face was full of stories with ravines and ravines, a green silk was draped around the heavenly spirit to his shoulders, and the white goatee under his chin was the traces of time.
Figuratively speaking, Xiao Se should be a complete victory.
But the competition is not a competition after all.
I saw the top of the Forbidden City, and the two stood opposite each other, one left and one right.
Xu Wuming's slightly old voice sounded, "You're here." ”
"Hmm."
"You shouldn't have come, and I shouldn't have come."
"Hmm."
"But you're still here, and I'm still here."
“......”
"Alas, the world is full of fame and fortune. When it comes to you and me, fame and fortune are already in the past, I said I let it go, but after all, I still didn't let go. ”
Xiao Se said coldly: "Everyone has their own way, you have found the way, and I have found the way." Today's war is to take that road, that's all. ”
"Not bad." Xu Wuming threw away the erhu, leaving only the bow, "That's it...... Come on. ”
The atmosphere is suddenly solemn!
A shocking battle between two peerless swordsmen! It's about to start!
"......" Wang Quan, who took everything into his eyes, was expressionless.
Xu Wuming's words, he seems to have heard it somewhere.
