Groups of new army soldiers and horses formed a neat and uniform armor team, like a walking torrent of steel, and left the northern border of the Acropolis with a murderous aura.

There was no warning of this military operation, and it was not reported to the Imperial Capital Military Aircraft Department.

It was the movement of the army, and many people speculated that the new army of the Acropolis might be mutiny again.

The palace had just experienced a catastrophe, and the first emperor had just been mourned for a few days, and the news came again, and Emperor Ying was so frightened that he didn't raise it for the rest of his life.

At the same time, there was a lot of traffic in front of the painting heart square, and all kinds of people gathered.

One by one the carriages stopped in front of the main gate, and when someone stepped forward to open the door, the people who got out of the car were all shining, as if there was an emperor's majesty, and their eyes were as bright as electricity.

The onlookers were all amazed, and everyone didn't know when there were so many people with dragon and tiger atmosphere in the imperial capital.

These people are all outstanding disciples of the Nine Great Sects in the imperial capital.

The three great empires contained in Wanzhou are all respected by sword cultivation, and warriors are the king of a hundred soldiers with swords.

The rise of the sect's forces is all related to sword cultivation, and after years of development, there are nine sword sects within the Central Plains Empire that stand out.

They are Wuchan Sword Gate, Tianwen Sword Gate, White Feather Sword Gate, Qianjian Gate, Danxin Sword Gate, Luo Shu Sword Gate, Guiyi Sword Gate, Taichu Sword Gate and Wenjian Villa.

The nine major sects formed an alliance and called for wind and rain in the rivers and lakes and fought against the imperial court.

In the Sword Alliance, it is agreed that disciples should work together to help each other in the rivers and lakes, and everyone will help each other when one person is in trouble.

Li Zhiyu drew an urgent convening signal from the Sword Alliance under many wine shops, teahouses, and archways in various markets in the imperial capital.

When the disciples of the Nine Great Sects saw these emblems of ten thousand swords returning to one, they knew that there were allies asking for help, so they spread the word to ten to hundred, and the disciples of all the sects in the imperial capital gathered together under the leadership of the people in the Painting Heart Workshop.

Upstairs in Beihai, Li Zhiyu stood in front of the window and looked at the disciples of the Sword Alliance who were invited, and gradually put away his smile and became solemn.

Cheng Xue stood beside him and noticed that Li Zhiyu was a little nervous, and she asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong with Brother Li's situation?" ”

Li Zhiyu pointed to a tall and handsome young man in front of the crowd and said to Cheng Xue: "Look at the complacent and laughing man in front, do you know who he is?" He is the Akiyama Rite of the Taichu Sword Gate! Walking next to him was Izumi Woo of Guiyi Sword Gate. They are all the number one masters in their own sect, and they rarely walk around in the rivers and lakes. ”

Cheng Xue said: "What's so strange about that, such a big thing happened in the imperial capital, and the Sword Alliance is not ignorant of the fireworks in the world, even if you ignore the government and politics, but it's normal to observe the people's feelings!" ”

Li Zhiyu shook his head and sighed: "Definitely! Not only the two of them, but I have been secretly watching here for a long time, and I have already seen Jiang Xingchen, the first master of the Wuzen Sword Gate, Zhu Hao, the chief disciple of the Tianwen Sword Gate, Qiu Haoge, the only son of the head of the White Feather Sword Gate, and Ren Anguo, the young talent of the Qianjian Gate, all come to the Painting Heart Workshop one after another. Bringing them together is not something I can do by sending out a distress signal, they must have come here for other purposes. ”

As they were talking, they saw several young swordsmen with extraordinary instruments and graceful manners coming to the back garden of the Painting Heart Workshop side by side.

Cheng Xue said: "You see that the two people who just came are not ordinary people!" ”

Li Zhiyu fixed his eyes and said, "Not bad! The one on the right is named Zuo Jialiang from the Danxin Sword Gate, and the one on the left is Shangguan Invincible from the Luoshu Sword Gate. ”

Cheng Xue was also a little surprised: "The people from the Eight Great Sword Sects are here, and without exception, they have all sent their most proud disciples, Brother Li, your face is really big!" ”

Li Zhiyu smiled bitterly: "Xue'er, don't laugh at big brother, I don't know how to end it now." Do you know? The Sword Alliance is the king of the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains Empire, and together they are a group of princes. And offended them, they don't reason with you at all, they will just slash their swords and say: Take it! ”

Cheng Huan pursed his lips and smiled: "Look at the eldest brother, you are now the commander of the Praetorian Guard, holding three thousand iron-blooded regiments." An order is a torrent of iron armor, which is destroyed in the blink of an eye, who can stop it? ”

Li Zhiyu said: "Killing does not solve all problems. Huh! How could Master be willing to let him go down the mountain! ”

Li Zhiyu stared at the young man downstairs with a childish face but a light beard and said to Cheng Xue: "Go and invite that slightly decadent young man to come up, I have something to ask him!" ”

Cheng Xue glanced at the young man, and just as the young man also looked upstairs, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After a while, the young man was taken to Beihai Tower by Cheng Xue.

The decadent boy was dressed in bright clothes and held a long sword with rust on its scabbard.

Li Zhi immediately hugged his fists when he met the comer: "I know that I have met Uncle Xiao!" ”

This decadent young man's name is Li Leyu, and he is the youngest son of the old owner of Wenjian Villa.

Li Leyu returned the salute to Li Zhiyu perfunctorily, and then said: "It's not more polite, although I am older than you, you are older than me, and you have always taken me like a big brother, so we can talk to each other outside the villa." ”

Li Zhiyu said: "I dare not cross it!" Dare to ask Uncle Xiao why he came to the Painting Heart Workshop? ”

Li Leyu lowered his head and whispered, "Didn't you come here because I saw the call signal you sent?" ”

Li Zhiyu said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao is still the same as before, he doesn't dare to look directly at others when he tells lies, and his voice is very small. ”

Li Leyu suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "I didn't want to lie to you." I did come because I saw you draw a call for help, and the Eight Great Swords sent others here for an impure purpose. ”

Li Zhiyu said: "Is it convenient to inform?" ”

Li Le said: "After your mission to protect the son-in-law of the acting king failed, my father was very angry. Originally, I was going to punish you severely, but you actually walked away, and let us ask the Sword Villa to break the trust of the acting king, so that we were discredited in the Sword Alliance. What do you think you are guilty of? ”

Li Zhi met Li Leyu and suddenly held him accountable, he knew that he was wrong, his face was red, and he was ashamed.

Li Le said: "Where is Li Zhien? ”

Li Zhiyu said: "We are already married, and she is pregnant. ”

Hearing this, Li Leyu stomped his foot and pointed at Li Zhiyu and said, "You are so bold, even if you kidnap Li Zhien, you don't even know to invite us to drink wine." ”

Li Zhiyu was stunned when questioned.

Li Leyu suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, your father already knows about it, but he didn't announce it to the public, because he was worried that the acting king would embarrass you." You little couples should live a good life here, and remember to go back to the villa in the future. ”

Li Zhiyu's speechless expression of gratitude.

Li Leyu told Li Zhiyu that they were the elite of the Sword Alliance this time because they received a secret edict from a very weak prince.

The Central Plains Empire has gone through three dynasties, but the royal lineage has never been broken.

The ancestor of the imperial family was named the God Emperor.

Seven hundred years ago, the Divine Emperor passed the sword to the world, and since then, the Divine Emperor's sword path has spread throughout the Central Plains and has been divided into many schools.

The founding patriarchs of the Nine Great Sword Sects all claimed to be the descendants of the Divine Emperor Sword Dao.

Among the nine major sword sects, there are also statues of the God Emperor.

There is also a tradition among the children of the royal family, as long as the princes of the past generations have not been established as orthodox, they will enter the sword alliance to practice the way of the sword.

After years of sedimentation, many of the elders of the Nine Great Sword Sects were from the royal family.

Therefore, although the Sword Alliance is not called by the emperor, the royal family will be summoned when it is in trouble.

This is also the reason why successive emperors did not dare to abolish the symbolism of the royal family so easily. The Sword Alliance didn't care about the rebellion in the imperial capital. In their opinion, it makes no difference who is the emperor.

But the rebellion in the imperial capital endangered the imperial palace, and the Sword Alliance couldn't help but do something.

Moreover, this palace change also had a major event that shook the entire Sword Alliance.

The statue of the god emperor located in the palace was accidentally destroyed in the war. The extremely weak prince found a copy of the God Emperor Sutra among the remains of the destroyed statue of the God Emperor.

The legend about the God Emperor Sutra has a long history. Legend has it that the Emperor Sutra records what the Emperor has learned throughout his life.

This is simply a dream treasure for martial artists who pursue the pinnacle of kendo.

But this news is too bizarre to distinguish between true and false. As a result, the major sword sects sent their best disciples to the imperial capital to prepare to see the demeanor of the Divine Emperor Sutra.

After listening to Li Leyu's words, Li Zhiyu sank for a long time and said: "This matter is full of suspicions, not to mention how the extremely weak prince found the Divine Emperor Sutra in the remains of the Divine Emperor statue. Why did he put the news out? He is also a person who practices martial arts, doesn't he know the importance of the Divine Emperor Sutra? He also summoned the disciples of the Nine Great Sword Sects to come to the imperial capital, could it be that he still plans to hand over the Divine Emperor Sutra to you! ”

Li Le said: "You can think of it, the elders have thought of it." But the Divine Emperor Sutra is too important, and it is better to believe it than to believe it, so it is the only way to send us to test the wind. ”

Li Zhiyu said: "You know that I have something to ask you for!" ”

Li Le said: "Say it! So many of us can't eat and drink here for nothing, and it's not easy to help you solve some trouble by the way. ”

Li Zhiyu said: "The matter I encountered was very troublesome, involving a cultivator from the Kunlun Realm. ”

Even a proud son of heaven like Li Leyu would talk about color change to cultivators: "What? You don't want to die! We often refer to ourselves as tigers and wolves, and compare ordinary people to cattle and sheep. But compared to the cultivators, they are tigers and wolves, and we are not even cattle and sheep, we are just ants in their eyes. They don't bother to look at you, but you have to climb to its feet, or even want to ask him for a bite, and he wants to crush you without much effort. ”

Li Zhiyu said: "I understand the truth, but I have to do it." Because my friends are in their hands. No matter how strong the enemy is, it can only take my life, and the loss of a friend will make me regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Li Le said: "What do you want to do? ”

Li Zhiyu said: "I have a plan, I want to ask your whole army to go out to give me a strong momentum. It's best if you can persuade the enemy to retreat, and if you can't, you don't need to shoot, but our people will still shoot. ”

Li Leyu shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic about your plan!" ”

Li Zhiyu said: "No matter what, my plan is imperative!" ”

Li Le said: "I really don't want to watch you die." Your child hasn't been born yet! ”

Li Zhiyu said: "I don't want my child to have a cowardly father. ”

Li Le said: "What benefits can you give them, so that those proud and conceited Sword League disciples are tempted to help you do things?" Don't mention me any money, you know they don't care about money. ”

Li Zhiyu said: "After the matter is completed, they will receive a kindness from my master. ”

Li Leyu said in surprise: "That's all? ”

Li Zhiyu said: "You should believe what I say, the kindness of my master is definitely worth fighting for!" ”

Li Le said: "Okay! That's it! I'm going to tell them! ”

Li Zhiyu said: "Don't you ask who my master is?" ”

Li Le said: "It's boring to know too much!" ”
