Chapter 200: The Imperial City
Before the Imperial City Martial Arts Meeting begins, the Imperial City will arrange for these heirs of the family sects from all over the empire. Although their head of the house will not come, His Majesty the Emperor will not be present in person. In the final analysis, this is just a competition to select Xuan Tianwei. His Majesty the Emperor is a noble person, and there is no need to be present in person. As for those who are the heads of the family or something, the emperor has always forbidden them to set foot in the imperial city, unless there is an edict from the emperor, those people are forbidden to set foot in the imperial city.
In the palace, His Majesty the Emperor sat lazily on the spacious dragon chair, absentmindedly listening to the ministers below reporting their work. The ministers below were still talking about the work with all their might, and His Majesty the Emperor glanced at them from time to time, and then continued to enjoy themselves.
"What's going on with the Imperial City Martial Arts Association lately?" His Majesty the Emperor said suddenly, "Those family heirs have all come to the Imperial City, have they been arranged?"
The minister who stated his work there couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but His Majesty the Emperor had a problem, so he could only shut up and honestly step aside. A minister next to him hurriedly flashed over and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, these things have been arranged." It's just that the people on the Nanban side haven't arrived yet. ”
"Nanban, hum. His Majesty the Emperor smiled disdainfully and said, "Leave them alone, those guys in the Southern Barbarians have always been like this." Barbarians, where do they know etiquette? Let them go! Oh, yes. The emperor suddenly turned over and sat up, looked at the minister, and asked, "What happened to our Lord Sikong, can't he die?"
"The people in the prison have taken good care of him, and he is still living a good life. The minister said, his body bent more and more. As if thinking of what happened to the adult in prison, his body couldn't help but tremble, what happened to that adult, it should be said that it was a flying disaster!
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't toss him for the next few days." The province frightened the children of our big families. Let's go and see what happens in the martial arts dojo, let's go now, let's go!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Long's matter is not finished yet. A *** who looked to be in his forties came out and looked at the emperor with a serious face.
His Majesty the Emperor had already taken a step forward, and after hearing this man's words, he retracted his steps. He looked at the man with a smile on his face and said, "You're telling me?"
The emperor smiled, but the man broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was also panicked: What is wrong with him? How can he be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty the Emperor? The minister's body trembled involuntarily, and the emperor glanced at the minister, and the adult's feet did not know when a puddle of water actually appeared, and it still exuded a bad smell.
The emperor looked at the minister, smiled, and said, "You, you don't have such courage, why do you do such a big job?" and patted the minister on the shoulder, and then said, "Tell me about you, isn't this causing trouble for yourself?" We can't toss any more for a while, we have to have a new toy!"
When he had finished speaking, the Emperor laughed and walked away. As soon as the minister's body weakened, he collapsed to the ground at that time, his eyes were dilated, looking at the big men who seemed to be walking by himself, the minister's eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly stood up and crashed into the big pillar next to him.
With a "bang", the battle between the human head and the stone pillar was only a momentary matter. In an instant, the blood flowed profusely, and the man fell to the ground and was already dead, and could not die again. The Emperor turned his head, glanced at it, and said, "Forget it, dirty my ground!" the Emperor said in disgust, waving his hand impatiently, and a kind of guard hurriedly came up and carried the body away.
The faces of all the people in the hall were different, and their faces changed color one by one, and some of them exuded a very bad smell, and the soles of their feet were wet for a while. The emperor looked at these people, snorted coldly, turned around and left, never to return.
In the palace, only a group of frightened officials remained.
In the prison, it is extremely dark. There was a rancid smell everywhere, and blood was everywhere. This is the darkest and most terrifying place in the entire Imperial City, even the Empire, and those who know it call it the Prison of Purgatory.
The Emperor walked here, looking around. This is the place he is most satisfied with, he loves the blood and cruelty here. In his eyes, this is also a huge performance arena, and any prisoner, whether he comes in unjustly or really guilty, is just a tool for him to have fun.
Outside the Imperial City Prison, Gao Wei was still circling around. This imperial city is full of good places, whether it is those gold caves or ordinary restaurants, these are much better than those places in Cloud City. Gao Wei walked around, and he heard people mention a name - Sikong Xuanming.
Gao Wei also heard about this commonplace thing with one ear in the east and one ear in the west. It is said that this Lord Sikong Xuanming is still good, but some time ago, I don't know why this Lord Sikong Xuanming was personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor and arrested and imprisoned. Just some time ago, this was the most cruel punishment for Lord Sikong Xuanming - a thousand cuts.
If it is said that this Sikong Xuanming Lord really has nothing to do, then how can he be punished like this? But if this person really has nothing to do, is it because he is involved in a certain matter that he will be punished like this? Gao Wei has seen a lot of such things, but this time he is very curious, compared to just in the Imperial City Martial Arts Association. According to what Huang Zhennan said before, the Imperial City Martial Arts Association is the most important thing in the empire once every hundred years. If it is so important, how can it be necessary to punish a courtier by such a bloody means at this time?
In the middle of the imperial city, there is a huge official residence, which is the prince's palace of the empire. There is only one prince in the entire Ming Empire, the greatest general of the entire empire - Prince Chun Lone Blade. The greatest warrior of the empire, in the entire empire, except for His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Chun is the person with the highest status.
At this time, Prince Chun was standing in his mansion, not knowing what he was pondering in his heart, and there was a sorrow in his eyebrows. The Imperial City Martial Arts Society in the empire seemed to be unattractive to this Prince Chun, and there were only one dossier on the table in his study, and the top dossier clearly had four big characters written on it—Sikong Xuanming.
