And the widow said yes to thee. ”

It's still that calm tone, and it's still the attitude of looking down on all beings.

The emperor on the throne, in the face of this challenge, which was originally forced by himself, still made enough passive acceptance, and lightly agreed to Su Mu's behavior.

But at this moment, no matter how slow the person is, he still understands the cattiness in it, and he understands the purpose of this hall performance:

It turned out that the emperor's real goal was to force Su Mu to challenge him from the beginning.

Whether it is such a "shrewd" sycophant official, or the imperial military god who seems to be as straight as he once was, they are actually just pawns in the hands of the emperor.

And what everyone built together was the fact that Su Mu had to challenge the emperor.

Although up to this point, not only the imperial officials who were watching did not know what the emperor wanted to achieve, but even Su Mu, who was a participant in the incident, was full of confusion.

But all anyone can think of is:

Regarding this royal challenge, which is bound to become a sensational news, the empire has actually been prepared for a long time, and has long planned something far beyond the imagination of others.

Sure enough, it was after the Emperor himself accepted the challenge.

The chief of the internal officials beside the emperor has already announced in public without concealment:

"The princess's wedding, the whole country is concerned, and His Excellency Su Mu, the owner of the current imperial lineage, uses this matter as an excuse to launch a head-on challenge to His Majesty the Emperor according to the ancestral teachings...... In order to show his sincerity to the subjects of the Empire, this challenge will be carried out in public in the Dragon Sacrifice Platform outside the noon gate, so that the whole world can prove it!"

......

The so-called sacrificial dragon platform is actually a rock platform in the sacrificial dragon pool.

The original purpose of the platform was to be used as a sacrifice during the Imperial Celebrations.

However, because the Longtuo Empire itself is a country that places great emphasis on ancestor worship, it doesn't care much about the so-called "creation gods".

As for the sacrifice to the ancestors, it is often held at the Temple of Heaven in the imperial city.

Therefore, on the contrary, the dragon sacrifice platform used to worship the gods has gradually lost its original sacredness in tens of thousands of years of continuous changes, and has completely turned into a martial arts competition ring under the imperial city.

There used to be emperors who liked to watch battles, and they specially reinforced the dragon sacrifice platform to facilitate the battle between high-level powerhouses during the imperial celebrations.

Although after that, the actual battles that could take place on the dragon altar actually became more and more rare with the passage of time, and even did not take place again for decades.

But when it comes to a place worthy of the emperor himself fighting...... It once had an incomparably glorious history, and it happened to be in the center of the sacrificial dragon pond outside the noon gate, and it was impressively in front of the tens of thousands of people gathered in the square...... The dragon sacrifice platform is undoubtedly the most suitable choice!

Therefore, at this moment, as the voice of the chief of the internal officials fell.

Countless court officials have actually begun to operate rapidly.

A group of imperial officials standing on the main hall of the imperial city were guided by the imperial officials in batches, and each went to the top of the Wumen City Tower where they could observe the battle of the Dragon Sacrifice Platform.

And the countless residents of the empire outside the noon gate broke out again after "shocking" this decision, and once again broke out into an incredibly noisy voice.

As for Su Mu and the Emperor, who are the protagonists of the story, they gave priority to going to different places at this time, and began to change the gorgeous clothes of the lower palace, and wore good clothes that were conducive to fighting.

Just waiting for the summons of the imperial officials, he went directly to the dragon sacrifice platform where he was going to fight.

......

"Do you understand your father's purpose?"

The room where Su Mu changed his clothes was actually a small hall outside the side hall, which was used as a rotation room for the forbidden soldiers in the imperial city on weekdays.

As the princess of the empire, Su Tong is naturally extremely familiar with the structure of the imperial city.

Naturally, he rushed with Lu Xi as soon as possible, and asked the most critical question as soon as he opened his mouth.

But for this question, Su Mu actually has no answer at all:

"There are only two things I can be sure of now. ”

"First of all, your father's purpose is definitely not to kill me, if he really has such thoughts, then he will not choose to fight me in public. ”

"Secondly, on the premise that you won't kill me easily, you still have to fight me...... Then the purpose of this battle itself must be to get some kind of message from me. ”

When Su Mu said this, he suddenly looked at the full-length mirror used to organize his clothes on the side.

Then it became more and more unfamiliar, and looked at the self in the mirror.

Then in a tone that even Su Mu himself was not sure about, with three points of speculation and three points of confusion, and finally said in a strange manner:

"I hadn't thought about it at all...... Your father's true purpose has some relevance to me. ”

"But now it seems that the only theory that can explain all this is that I have some kind of secret. And this kind of secret itself has to be verified by the imperial side anyway. ”

"In other words, all of the Empire's previous actions were actually aimed at forcing me to participate in this battle. And what the other side needs to get, it seems that it can only be obtained through this battle. Even something that the Empire wants to find in me is worth far more than such a thing as an alliance between two countries. ”

Speaking of this, although Su Mu didn't get a real answer, he was actually amazed by what he had discovered.

After all, even Su Mu himself didn't understand...... In addition to the identity of the "traverser" that no one can know, what else is there that the empire cares about so much?

......

However, no matter how Su Mu was at this time, he was at a loss for his own value.

But the public challenge that everyone was looking forward to, but when the sun finally climbed obliquely to the corner of the sky, it was still an unavoidable real beginning.

With the guidance of the imperial officials, Su Mu naturally took the lead in arriving at Tan Bian, which was the place to sacrifice to Longtan.

And through the temporary exquisite pontoon bridge, directly ascended to the dragon altar in the center of the dragon pool.

Then, in the eyes of tens of thousands of imperial residents, and under the gaze of countless imperial officials, they quietly waited for the arrival of the emperor.

Silent, waiting for the strongest person that Su Mu had faced so far to come.

It seems that only the scorching sun in the sky can make Su Mu feel a trace of real touch in the center of this icy whirlpool!
