Jiang Zihua finally found Li Mengzhou.

Although you can broaden your horizons by traveling far away, you can't know exactly where a person is if you can see it, so it will take some time to find it.

Seeing the corpse lying in the corner of the alley, Jiang Zi's face did not change, but when he noticed Jiang Tingyu, his expression immediately stiffened.

There was even a hint of fear in his eyes, and he lowered his head and was silent.

Li Mengzhou just glanced at Jiang Zihua strangely and asked, "What happened to the remaining two killers?"

Jiang Zihua said unnaturally: "Because I want to save people, I let them run." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned.

Jiang Tingyu said indifferently: "It's okay to run away, and by the way, you can report to their master." ”

His Majesty the Emperor had already planned to make a move against King Yu, and this might be just an opportunity.

Jiang Tingyu went to the palace and stayed in it for several hours.

The capital then calmed down for many days.

Then one day, the news came that His Royal Highness King Yu had entered Beijing.

Ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to enter Beijing, so King Yu did not follow too many people around him, but more than a dozen cronies escorted, and settled in King Yu's mansion on the same day, and at night, King Yu was summoned into the palace and did not return until the early hours of the morning.

Most of the powerful people in the capital smelled some of the wind and rain coming.

And Li Mengzhou didn't pay attention to these things, he began to stay in Chaosi Alley behind closed doors, comprehending the "Silkworm Annihilation Scroll" and practicing the second form of the "Leaving the Sword Sutra" "Shining on the Sky and Flowing Clouds".

Although he is more familiar with the control of the aura of heaven and earth, he walks on the barren sea of qi and seeks an opportunity to break through again. However, the oasis could never be seen in the desert-like sea of qi, and at the same time, the competition between the Leaving Palace Sword Academy and the new initiation disciples of the Immortal Mountain had officially begun under the watchful eyes of everyone.

......

That year, it snowed heavily, and the two major cultivation mountain gates in the capital of Jiang Guo held a meeting to ask questions, and the location was chosen in front of the mountain gate of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

This is not a thing worth paying attention to for some people in the capital, because it happens almost every year, or leaving the palace to win, or not to fall into the mountain, there will be no third situation, compared with the dragon banquet held in the spring after the year, more hard-working teenagers will choose to ignore it.

For example, Guan Muyun in the academy.

He heard about it, but he didn't leave the academy.

It's still the old locust tree, it's still the man.

"It is not uncommon for young people to be competitive, but the origin of this question is not in young people. Because the sect master Lu Zhonghui, who does not fall from the mountain, has always been at odds with Dean Xue who left the palace, even if they are both powerful people who have entered the Five Realms, they still can't escape the word grievances. ”

Although Beizang Feng rarely walked out of the academy, he seemed to be very clear about what was happening in the capital, even if it was a long time ago.

Guan Muyun said with some doubts: "There is only one Xie Chunfeng in the mountain that does not fall, but there are four gentlemen in the inner courtyard of the palace, from this point of view, the sword courtyard of the palace should be better than the one that does not fall on the mountain, according to the style of the sword courtyard of the palace, it is tantamount to a provocation to go down the war book every year without falling from the mountain, why is there nothing to do?

Bei Zangfeng said lightly: "Xie Chunfeng can't compare to Ouyang Shengxue, and he can't compare to that third gentleman and Ning Haoran, but he does beat all the Sword Academy disciples except the four gentlemen.

Therefore, the battle books from the Immortal Mountain are all aimed at new disciples, these disciples are at the same level, it is a very fair competition, and the actual combat between each other is not only for the purpose of winning, but also a good practice. There is no reason for the Imperial Sword Academy to stop it, maybe it would be like this. ”

Guan Muyun said abruptly: "Over the years, there have been victories and defeats in the two major mountain gates, winning is a kind of practice, and losing is also a kind of practice. The sect master who does not fall down the mountain refuses to stop because of some grievances against Dean Xue, and the disciple's cultivation in actual combat is secondary. And the disciples of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy regarded it as a cultivation completely, which was already a judgment. ”

Bei Zangfeng said silently: "Maybe Dean Xue does have this idea, but it doesn't mean that those new disciples in the outer court will also think so, this is a very interesting thing, but at the same time, it is also very boring."

Those teenagers who have just crossed the threshold of cultivation are weak and weak, and there is nothing to be seen, and the only thing worth looking forward to may be the final winner, if they can perform very well, it is easy to make a name for themselves, at least in the market that pays more attention to this questioning conference, it will inevitably become a topic of conversation among people. ”

......

It was very lively in front of the gate of Ligong Mountain, and many people in the capital came to watch early.

There were even quite a few people dressed as guards.

A group of people with silver robes represent a very powerful institution in the court, the Xuanzheng Division.

There are many aspects involved in the Xuan Zheng Division, and the ordinary cases in the capital are handled by the government office, and once the case is too big and even affects the royal relatives and even the princes, it will be transferred to the Xuan Zheng Division.

At the same time, cases of cultivators killing ordinary people are basically handled by the Xuanzheng Division, and the government has no right to intervene, only the right to report.

Therefore, in some senses, the Xuan Zheng Division controls the power of life and death of cultivators.

Xu Hexian is the head of the Xuanzheng Division, and he is a great monk who has entered the Wuzhang Upper Realm.

He also appeared in front of the gate of the Imperial Palace.

He came to accompany or spy on His Royal Highness, and for some reason, King Yu, who had just arrived in the capital, also showed up to watch the battle.

King Yu has been confined to the capital.

This is a tacit thing for many court officials.

When His Majesty the Emperor has not yet made a will, His Royal Highness King Yu can walk in the capital, as long as he does not leave the city, and if he wants to come to watch the meeting held in the palace and the mountain, naturally no one will stop him.

But out of duty, Xu Hexian personally accompanied.

Correspondingly, the accompanying person is also Qingyi of the Heavenly Cardinal.

Qingyi's identity may be a secret to many people, but it is also open and transparent in the eyes of a few people, and Yuwang and Xu Hexian are also one of them.

There was no platform built in front of the gate of Ligong Mountain, because every inch of the place here was a ring where the battle could be fought, and out of consideration for the people watching the battle, it was natural to arrange a relatively safe place that would not be affected by the battle.

Although King Yu is not a prince, he is also a prince, with a high status, and there are guards who simply build a high platform.

Xu Hexian and Qingyi stood under the stage, and a group of guards were scattered left and right, expressionless.

The outer circle is the people who are watching, or some wild cultivators who join in the fun, and even some young masters and daughters from powerful backgrounds.

The noisy crowd made the mountain gate more popular than before.

Xu Hexian also has a seat, just a simple chair, Wuxun's age does not make him look old, after all, he is a cultivator, he is very energetic, his skin is firm, and he looks like he is only forty, and he is in the prime of life.

The most eye-catching thing is his triangular eyes, especially when they are slightly squinted, they give people a feeling of heart palpitations that numb in the back.

He looked sideways at Qing Yi next to him, and said lightly: "Commander Qing Yi is the most powerful person under Jiang Si Shou, I don't know if you have heard of the recent murder in the capital?"

Qing Yi didn't look at him, his indifferent and emotionless face didn't show the slightest abnormality, he bowed slightly, and said calmly: "The murder case is a matter that the government order should be managed, and the bigger case is the responsibility of the Xuan Zheng Division, we are not qualified to exceed our authority, and we have no heart to explore." ”

The position of the Heavenly Council is very delicate in the court, on the bright side, the Heavenly Council is a military institution, no one knows what kind of rights the Heavenly Council has in addition, but the Heavenly Council is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor, there will always be some problems, but no one dares to speak out the doubts in their hearts.

So Qingyi's answer is also very regular.

But Xu Hexian doesn't think so.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Doing things for Your Majesty, if there is any chaos in the capital, they should help each other, there is nothing beyond their authority, but there are many strange cases recently, someone has died, but the body cannot be found, if there is anything found by the Heavenly Council, please be sure to inform us." ”

Qing nodded yes and said no more.

Xu Hexian looked at Qingyi silently and sneered.

King Yu, who was in the upper seat, looked at Xu Hexian and Qingyi below, not knowing what he was thinking.

His face is quite rich, so the first impression is very amiable, like a free prince without a city.

But when he heard the conversation between Xu Hexian and Qingyi, his expression changed a little.

Whether it was when he sent dead soldiers to chase down Qing Jiu, or when his deeds were revealed and he sent assassins one after another to try to kill Li Mengzhou, he was hindered by many heavy obstacles.

The previous matter is easy to understand, it must be at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, but why is it so difficult to kill a kid who has just crossed the threshold of cultivation?

Of course, the two assassins who escaped in front of Jiang Zi's screen reported the situation to His Royal Highness King Yu in 1510, but because of the loss of another assassin, the process of chasing and killing Li Mengzhou, and Jiang Tingyu who appeared halfway, they were not clear, and the information they could tell was limited.

King Yu could probably guess that maybe there was someone behind Li Mengzhou who was protecting, and the most likely one was the Heavenly Lord's Court.

Now that he heard Xu Hexian's faint words to test Qingyi, King Yu was even more convinced of this.

The so-called strange murders that could not find the corpses were of course all killers sent by King Yu, including those who were killed by Qing Jiu before his death, and these people were secretly disposed of by the Heavenly Council.

But even though this is confirmed, King Yu is even more distressed.

Now that he has been grounded in the capital, and he is not fully prepared to rebel, even if the soldiers are in the city at this moment, I am afraid that even the Langya City Gate will not be able to break through, just because he is still alive, he is not willing to accept defeat, he thinks that maybe he should seek help from some people.

His Royal Highness the Honorary King, who was called by Jiang Tingyu to pretend that there is no city, but in fact there is no city itself, is well deserved.

He does have some cleverness, but there will always be some deficiencies in thinking about big things, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this point, the key is that he has not woken up, and is still planning to die.

The expression on His Royal Highness King Yu's face changed, he thought that he had not shown any flaws, but Xu Hexian and Qingyi, who were sitting down, saw it.

But Xu Hexian and Qingyi had different thoughts in their hearts.

Qingyi didn't think about anything, because these things were not his responsibility in the first place, he just had to do what he was told.

And Xu Hexian is quite disdainful of His Royal Highness King Yu.

He felt that if such people could succeed in the rebellion, he was afraid that Jiang Guo would have perished long ago.

Stupid people are not terrible, but stupid fools who think they are smart.
