After arriving at the top of the mountain, he sat cross-legged pranayama, sat and watched the sea of clouds, recalling the perception that Tang Chuan left Su Yuan with his power on Bi Feng that day, as well as practicing the moves left in his mind, Tang Chuan's every move was wide open and closed, not sticking to any action, as if every action was improvised, but there was a sense of naturalness, so that Su Yuan practiced according to every move, but he felt that there was a shape and no meaning, and every practice felt very awkward, but he also practiced hard, and did not go down the mountain until nightfall。

Since then, no matter the wind or rain, or the lightning and thunder, it cannot prevent the young figure from appearing on the top of Bifeng Peak.

Yaoyang City, the imperial capital, in the southeast corner of the starry sky hall of the imperial palace is located the highest building in the empire - the Sacrificial Tower, the Sacrificial Tower is the establishment of the empire during the period of the Shenwu Emperor personally supervised the construction, and the intact preservation of the building, it can be said that the Sacrificial Tower has witnessed the rise and fall of the Youyun Empire for 7,000 years, and the Sacrificial Tower that has experienced 7,000 years of wind and rain has not left obvious traces of time. Starting from the first generation of the Dragon Emperor, the tradition of a ceremony to worship the heavens once a year was established, and the emperor led the gate valve clan and the princes to worship heaven and earth, in order to seek smooth wind and rain and prosperity of the country.

The tower only holds a large-scale ceremony in the annual Imperial Sacrifice Ceremony, and it is rare for outsiders to visit the tower, except for a few guards in the tower, and idle people are not allowed to enter. But as the imperial prince of the flow of Fengdu is naturally not within the scope of the idle people, and in recent years worship heaven and earth has become more and more a form of difference, the flow of Fengdu instead attaches great importance to this tradition, when the emperor has nothing to do, the prince often comes to this tower of sacrifice, sometimes in the top of the tower of Nuo Da to look at the distance, sometimes to the altar of the monument to drink and pour himself.

The monument is engraved with the names and deeds of meritorious deeds that have made outstanding contributions to the empire over the years.

At this time, Liu Fengdu was standing on the top of the tower of the Heaven Sacrifice Tower looking at the cloudless sky, and it took a long time to retract his gaze, overlooking the bustling and busy Yaoyang City, where the rivers and streets were crisscrossed, and the bustling streets were crowded with all kinds of exotic beast mounts and vehicles, and the walkers and pawns were walking through the streets and alleys, and more ordinary civilians were running around for life, and all kinds of beings were in full view.

It has been more than ten days since the Great War in the West Sea, but Liu Fengdu believes that the war has not ended there, because the informant who provided his whereabouts to the Sea Clan has not yet been found out, and Liu Fengdu already has a few objects of suspicion in his heart, although he does not want this incident to have anything to do with those people, but all kinds of signs indicate that his guess will not be wrong.

Liu Fengdu knows that he can't be soft, in the gate valve family, especially the so-called sibling affection of the emperor family, is the most insignificant, how many people can not be tempted to face the throne of peak power?

Finding out who is behind the scenes is to ensure that he takes over the throne of the Youyun Empire unimpeded, but also because he colluded with the sea clan, the sworn enemy of 7,000 years, to deal with the crown emperor, which is a precedent that has never been seen since the founding of the empire. This time, the Sea Clan dispatched such a large-scale army and strong men, presumably the price paid by those people or the conditions given were only very large.

Although there has always been a change of imperial throne and the struggle between princes and emperors, most of the time it will not be a smooth transition, and there have been many large-scale battles for the throne in the historical records of the empire, and several times it can even be called tragic, but the empire has never deliberately covered up these histories, and even thinks that this is a tradition, for the empire with strong military forces, only the strong can become the emperor, and the final victor can be more admired by the subjects.

Although cruel and ruthless, it is also a reason to keep the empire strong for 7,000 years.

But in the previous battles of the change of emperors, they were all wars on the territory of the Youyun Empire, and there was never the intervention of foreign forces, not to mention that this time it was a shame for the empire to unite the Sea Clan and use the biggest enemy to help ascend to the throne, how could it be worthy of the monument on the altar in front of the Emperor, and even more sorry for the heroic souls who died in the war with the Sea Clan for generations.

On the day Liu Fengdu returned to the imperial capital from the West Sea, he immediately distributed a large number of shadows, especially to investigate the past moves of those few people, although no useful information has been found so far, but these days the Shadow Blade has been secretly fighting with the enemy several times, indicating that the people behind the scenes feel the crisis, and he believes that there will be clues soon.

The night was dark, the lights in the city were dim, there were few pedestrians on the streets, only a team of dragon guards in armor and swords patrolled from time to time, and this city, which was prosperous and busy during the day, gradually fell into a deep sleep at this time.

At this moment, on a canal in the city, a small boat is moving slowly in the middle of the river, and there is a hunchbacked old man standing in the bow, although it is almost summer, but the gust of river wind is still a little cold, the old man gathered his clothes, but he did not return to the simple cabin, but walked to the side of the boat, quietly looking at the dark river.

After a while, when the cargo ship moved forward to a certain place, a small ripple rippled on the water in front of it, and a dark object slowly surfaced from the ripples, and the old man obviously saw the scene in the water, but there was no expression of surprise on his weather-covered face. When the side of the boat passed by the dark object, a hand suddenly reached out in the water and grabbed the side of the boat next to the old man's feet, and the old man was not surprised, as if he had become accustomed to it.

A figure suddenly burst out of the water, but the river did not cause any movement, like a disembodied shadow emerging from the water.

The figure fell lightly next to the old man, the surroundings were so quiet that only the ticking sound of water dripping on the board of the ship could be heard, the figure was unusually tall and strong, the body of more than a foot was naked, the faint moonlight shone on the body, and there was a faint phosphorescence on the back.

The tall Sea Clan asked the hunchbacked old man, "Why are you in such a hurry to call me?"

The old man's wrinkled face was a little gloomy, "Naturally, it was the last time in the West Sea, such a great opportunity failed, didn't you like to brag about yourself before, and the big words that were full of ambition before the action were all farts? ”

From his angle, he could just see the scales reflecting the faint moonlight, and his heart was even more displeased, this fool was so flamboyant, wasn't he afraid of being discovered? Although with his strength, the possibility of someone ambushing nearby was very small, but in this sensitive period, he could not be careless in the slightest.

The tall sea clan was suddenly unhappy after hearing the old man's accusatory words, and just wanted to refute, but he still endured it, after all, he was indeed at a loss, he was also present at the time, but he didn't expect that the more than 40,000 soldiers led by Prince Pela himself ambushed the empire's navy of less than 10,000, and they still escaped. In addition to the well-equipped ships of the empire, the main reason is a series of breathtaking breakthroughs commanded by Mu Dongye. The tactics of detouring and getting rid of it, so that the general Gao Hai Clan, who has been the commander of the army and the empire for many years, and is also the right-hand man of Prince Peila, has to admire, although Mu Dongye's past achievements have been brilliant enough, but it has not attracted much attention from the Sea Clan, most of the intelligence gives the judgment that the prince Liu Fengdu began to govern, and naturally needs to cultivate his own forces, and Mu Dongye, as a confidant, will have such a staggering climbing speed.

After returning that day, Prince Pela scolded the spy organization, and said in front of many generals that they underestimated Mu Dongye's value because of wrong information in the past, and he alone was at least worth the two integrated fleets of the Youyun Empire, and the value exceeded that of Liufeng. Espionage and intelligence gathering on him was raised to the highest level, and it was even said that he could be assassinated at any cost if given the opportunity.

Although the general of the Sea Clan was dissatisfied with the ridicule in the old man's words, and even wanted to blast the old man in front of him with a punch for a moment, he still endured it, "If you have something, say it quickly, if you are looking for me to quarrel, you will not be accompanied." ”

The old man also realized that what he said just now was a bit excessive, he was not a person who couldn't hold his breath, in fact, it was because the master behind him took a huge risk to get this excellent opportunity to miss it like this, and it was really uncomfortable to hold this breath, the old man eased his mind and said, "General Ghost Mountain, there are two reasons for looking for you this time, one is that since this operation failed, the conditions agreed to at the beginning are naturally countless, and the batch of weapons given before should not be shipped away, right?" The second is that Liufengdu sent a large number of shadow blades to investigate, and we have killed a few people, but they have not yet gotten any clues, and you should not make any moves during this period, otherwise any clues may leak through the news. ”

The tall Sea Clan general said: "The second point is naturally fine, but the first point, since the first batch of weapons has been handed over to us, are you embarrassed to take them back? Although we failed to kill Liu Fengdu, did our warriors who died in battle die in vain? ”

"We are not stingy with those weapons, if in the past period, we would have given them, and no one would have been able to find out if we had done something in secret, but now the risk is too great to get out of the basket, and if they find that the Imperial arsenal is missing a batch of weapons, and there is no record of it, it will inevitably arouse their suspicions. ”

The general of the Sea Clan was silent, the Sea Clan was extremely short of ore for forging weapons due to environmental factors, and most of the weapons were traded with the Manichi in the past, but the Manichae have always been friendly with the Youyun Empire, especially the current king received many favors from the Youyun Empire at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and after ascending the throne, he began to reduce all transactions with the Sea Clan, especially the jurisdiction of weapons, and had issued an order prohibiting trading with the Sea Clan. There are also a small number of weapons taken from the battlefield against the Empire, but they are always a drop in the bucket, and how to fight the enemy without weapons. Thinking of the batch of weapons given by the other party that was enough to equip 50,000 warriors, Ghost Mountain couldn't help but hesitate.

The old man looked at the hesitant General of the Sea Clan, probably guessed the reason, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that the general is reluctant to give up those weapons, so it is better to return the weapons to us first, and when this period comes, it will still be given to you without missing a piece, what do you think?"

Although Guishan didn't know the specific identity of the old man, he knew that this person was an important person in "Piercing Teeth", and "Piercing Teeth" was that person's confidant, and what he said should be believed. Originally, the ghost mountain also thought about it, just take the things away, anyway, they can't do anything, even if Liu Fengdu finds out any problems, it has nothing to do with their sea clan, they are originally enemies, but if they lose an important ally because of this, he can't decide the consequences, although the two sides are only temporarily taking the allies they need.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Then Oniyama whispered in the old man's ear where the weapon was hidden, and then turned and sank into the river.

The old man put his hands on his sleeves, like an old man who was afraid of the cold, and walked into the cabin of the small boat.
