August 15, the night of the full moon.

That's it.

The beautiful moonlight, the round moon, and the bright moonlight, accompanied by thousands of lights, illuminate the night scene of this capital.

It was a sleepless night.

Not only those martial arts people who are involved in the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen blowing snow, but even ordinary people can't sleep this night, but these little people don't know anything about Ye He Cheng and what snow in the west, and they don't care, they just hold their children, hide in the bed, listen to the dense footsteps on the street outside the door, and from time to time brush the dense footsteps that run by, silently pray in their hearts for God's blessing to let this terrible night pass quickly.

Noon Gate.

Outside the door, there are many armor soldiers, guarding the passage, along the root of the Forbidden City Wall, there are guards full of open flames, on the ground in front of the noon gate that has been famous since ancient times, there are several pools of piercing blood, and I don't know whose it is, in the night tonight, it seems to be particularly appropriate.

"Drive."

"Drive."

"Drive."

…… In the distance, eight people came on horseback, riding lightly and quickly, all the way to the bottom of the noon gate, before turning over and falling to the ground.

"My lord, the Donghua Gate has been arranged."

"My lord, the Long Sect has been arranged."

"Adult ......"

…… Wei Ziyun, the head of the Ouchi Guards, listened to the arrangements everywhere, and his face, which had been solemn and nervous, finally eased a little.

The duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow seems to be just a martial arts matter, but the impact it can have is far beyond the scope of martial arts.

Not to mention anything else, just in these days, there are countless martial arts people who have poured into the capital, and among them, from the heads of famous factions to the bandits who block the road and rob, and even several fugitives, thieves, and killers who have been wanted outside for dozens of years have been found in Shuntianfu...... The three sects and nine streams, regardless of good and grace, are all gathered in the capital at this moment.

These people are not like the ordinary people, honest duty, just for food and clothing, that is a word of disagreement to fight, if it is not pleasing to the eye is killed, if you meet the two sides have a grudge, when the street is a bloody killing, and all of them are unruly, the government can not control it at all, resulting in recent times, the city of brawls and bloodshed are frequent, Shuntianfu Yin has written several times to complain, and even asked to send troops to assist in the security of the yamen.

And this is only before the duel begins.

"Report." A stubborn Praetorian guard came running and bowed down.

"A group of Jianghu people came from outside Xihuamen, claiming to enter the Forbidden City and watch the duel, but Lord Ding didn't allow it, so they gathered people to storm the palace gate, and now they have been captured by Lord Ding, please send them down."

Wei Ziyun rubbed his forehead and said with a headache: "Let Ding Ao find out his identity first, if there is a sect with a background, he will be locked up first, if there is no sect, if necessary, you can kill a few demonstrators." ”

"Yes." The Praetorian Guards took the order and left.

"Alas, it's not good where the two masters go to duel, they have to choose the top of the Forbidden City." Wei Ziyun sighed helplessly.

Don't look at the huge formation of the Praetorian Guards, but for those offensive martial arts people, can they really kill them all?

One is not good, it breaks the balance between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, and causes a large-scale conflict, so he can't afford the responsibility.

"Brother Wei is really majestic."

On the opposite side, there was a group of people in different costumes, including a great monk in a robe, an old Taoist priest in a robe, and a good boy with a paper fan swaying...... It's like gathering all kinds of people in the world, there are more than 20 people, and there is even a catcher in a public uniform, who came out of the crowd and greeted Wei Ziyun first.

This person is Jin Jiuling.

"Don't tell me, you're also going into the city to watch a duel? You are a public man, and you should understand my difficulties. Wei Ziyun said helplessly.

"It is precisely because I understand Brother Wei's difficulties that I took out this official uniform that I haven't worn for six years and deliberately wore it." Jin Jiuling pointed at his fast catching public uniform with a backhand.

In order to watch this duel, he, who has always only worn the best and most expensive clothes, also made an exception.

Wei Ziyun shook his head, "Don't say you change into this clothes, even if you change into my clothes, I can't let you in." ”

"Leave your clothes to yourself." Jin Jiuling waved his hand.

He abandoned his official uniforms, so naturally he would not be interested in Wei Ziyun's.

continued: "As the chief catcher of the six gates, I eat the court's money, so I naturally have to do my best for the court, so I didn't come here to watch the duel, but to help Brother Wei maintain order." ”

"Maintaining order? There are guards here, where do you need to maintain order? Wei Ziyun was surprised, and couldn't figure out what medicine was being sold in Jin Jiuling's gourd.

"Of course, it's the order of the duel scene." Jin Jiuling said with a smile.

Wei Ziyun finally understood, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Brother Wei." Following Jin Jiuling, someone spoke again.

As soon as he heard these two words, Wei Ziyun couldn't help but shudder, and immediately waved at those who came with Jin Jiuling, "Everyone, Jin Jiuling is still a public person, don't embarrass me anymore, I'm ...... Little brother is here for everyone. ”

Seeing Wei Ziyun, the number one master in the dignified house, his posture was lowered to the point that he called himself a little brother, and some people who wanted to speak held their own identities and were embarrassed to open their mouths.

Of course, there are some people who still have to open their mouths.

Wei Ziyun didn't have to guess, he knew what they were going to say, it was nothing more than a relationship, a favor, or a scoundrel like Jin Jiuling, and entered the Forbidden City to watch a duel, so he didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and blocked it in advance.

"Everyone, this is what Your Majesty meant, and I can't do anything about it, and Your Majesty is lenient, and he did not completely prohibit everyone from watching the duel, and also took out the precious Persian tribute to make silk, which was used as a means to enter the Forbidden City, and handed it over to Lu Xiaofeng and Lu Daxia early..."

Before Wei Ziyun could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Come on, just six ribbons, and we have twenty-three people here, enough for anyone."

This time, it was a familiar face who spoke again.

Hawkeye Seven.

The eagle-eyed old seven stared at the beads and said dissatisfiedly: "Wei Ziyun, I call you a brother, you don't fool me with official words, I'll ask you, among the people who do it, who do you think is not qualified to enter the Forbidden City to watch this duel?" ”

These words are simply pulling hatred.

The twenty or so people who came with Hawkeye Lao Qi looked at Wei Ziyun one by one.

Mudao people, bitter wisdom masters, bitter gourd masters, iron shoulder masters, wood pine monks, Hua Ruling, Hua Manlou, Sikong Xingxing, Eagle Eye Lao Qi, Lu Xiaofeng......

Lu Xiaofeng, what the hell are you looking at?

The ribbon is in your hand.

Wei Ziyun took a step forward, pulled Lu Xiaofeng over, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" Sincerity to find fault, right? ”

"Don't blame me, you did give me six ribbons, not enough, I even gave my share, it's not enough, so it's not, I came with them, I hope to ask Brother Wei to make it convenient, accommodating, although I am not a public person, but the matter of dividing ribbons, I am doing things for the public, and it can be regarded as hard work." Lu Xiaofeng laughed and played, especially above Jin Jiuling.

"......" Wei Ziyun.

Is this idiocy?

Don't they all say that Lu Xiaofeng is extremely smart? How can you be so stupid that you even give out your own ribbons?

Wei Ziyun looked at the others again, and finally locked his gaze on a few people, "Wood Road Chief, Iron Shoulder Master, Flower Castle Master...... Have you not been given ribbons? ”

"I have."

"I have."

"I have it too."

…… Listening to these words, Wei Ziyun's face turned green.

Now that you have it, why are you making trouble?

"It's just that all of you here are old friends for decades, and now a few of us have been given ribbons to go in, but we have to ignore our old friends outside the door, which is unbearable and moral."

In the end, it is still unevenly distributed.

The more than 20 people in front of him, although there are high and low martial arts, but no matter how low, they are all first-class masters with a reputation, and their origins, backgrounds, and status represent the top of the pyramid in today's martial arts, and you only give six ribbons, which is too much difference, what do you think of people who don't get ribbons? But these are still the majority.

"Boss."

At this time, a person suddenly ran in the distance, obviously Hawkeye's subordinate, in Hawkeye's ear, I don't know what he said, so Hawkeye Seventh patted the shoulder of his subordinate, very happy.

Hawkeye Lao Qi turned his head and whispered in the ears of the others, just like this, one pass two, two pass three...... The people who were still clamoring to enter the Forbidden City to watch the duel just now were silent at the moment, their heads bowed, not knowing what they were thinking, and they left one after another.
