Chapter 190: A Complicated Situation
There are only six ribbons, but there are more than six people who want to watch the battle. In the entire rivers and lakes, I'm afraid there are not 600, 6,000 people who want to watch the battle.
So six ribbons are naturally not enough. Lu Xiaofeng almost didn't sleep all night because of this. I pondered over and over again who it would be better to give the six ribbons to.
But the trouble disappeared the next day.
The next day, Lu Xiaofeng, who hadn't slept all night, was woken up by a violent knock on the door. When he opened the door, it turned out to be Wei Ziyun. It's just that Wei Ziyun's face was angry at this time, and Lu Xiaofeng was a little inexplicable.
I just threw a hot potato yesterday, and today I have to cross the river and tear down the bridge? That's a bit unreasonable.
However, Wei Ziyun obviously didn't care about Lu Xiaofeng's face. Instead, he said with some eagerness: "What about the ribbons?" ”
"Ribbon, here. I haven't decided who to give it to. ”
Wei Ziyun didn't pay attention to what Lu Xiaofeng said, and directly snatched the ribbon with his hand, and took it in his hand to watch it carefully.
Lu Xiaofeng noticed that he was carefully checking the color of each ribbon. As he said before, these ribbons are made of very special materials and are difficult to imitate.
After carefully inspecting all the ribbons, Wei Ziyun returned the ribbons to Lu Xiaofeng.
"You don't have to worry about who to bring the ribbon to now."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What do you mean?" ”
Wei Ziyun said: "It's literal." You'll find out when you go out and see. Between the words, there was an indescribable helplessness.
Lu Xiaofeng was really curious, and decisively performed light skills, jumped out of the yard directly, and landed on the street. At first, Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice any difference.
But soon, he frowned. Because of an oncoming person from the rivers and lakes, there was a ribbon tied around his waist. Lu Xiaofeng saw at a glance that the ribbon was almost exactly the same as his own.
His heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what Wei Ziyun meant.
The two passed by, and Lu Xiaofeng raised his right hand and there was already an extra ribbon between the two fingers. He took out the ribbon from his body and contrasted it. Then I was surprised to find that the two ribbons were exactly the same, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
The biggest anti-counterfeiting ability of ribbon lies in its special material. But the two ribbons in front of me are made of exactly the same material.
Lu Xiaofeng was directly stunned on the spot, and then he saw a scene that made him even more mental. In front of him, another martial arts person with a ribbon around his waist appeared.
The key is that these two Lu Xiaofeng don't know each other at all. It can only be said that they are not martial arts celebrities at all. But the ribbons on their bodies really can't be real.
At this time, Wei Ziyun appeared behind Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng asked without replying.
"How many have you seen in total?"
"I don't know, in the capital alone, there are at least more than 700 of them. Two hundred and one taels, but all those people in the rivers and lakes who can take out their hands have basically bought them. There will be more to come. ”
"Don't you care?"
"Of course we did. At the first time, five vendors who were selling privately were arrested. But it's useless, and you can't find the mastermind behind it at all. And after arresting those people, the ribbons are still increasing. What we're doing basically doesn't make much sense. ”
Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak for a long time. He was actually feeling a little tired. It's not just complicated, it's messy. It was so chaotic that Lu Xiaofeng didn't even know how many forces were involved in this rebellion.
He even had the idea of telling Wei Ziyun everything in front of him, and then withdrawing himself. But it is not a trivial matter to say that King Pingnan tried to rebel.
Lu Xiaofeng has a lot of reputation in the rivers and lakes, but he is just a civilian after all. If such a thing is spoken, it is impossible to take it back. Without full certainty and evidence, in the end, he could only be executed by the emperor's order.
In fact, the biggest problem that plagued Lu Xiaofeng was that he never knew what method King Pingnan was going to use to rebel. That's why he couldn't find any evidence.
He could even be sure that the so-called competition at the top of the Forbidden City was problematic in itself. But I don't know what the problem is. He knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know even more. This gave him the idea that the more he knew, the more ignorant he felt.
Wei Ziyun left, this time he didn't embarrass Lu Xiaofeng. Because the situation was out of control at this time, he didn't dare to continue to hide it, so he could only enter the palace to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision himself.
And after Wei Ziyun left, Lu Xiaofeng even had a feeling of throwing away the ribbon in his hand directly. But after thinking about it for a while, I reluctantly put it away.
Just as Lu Xiaofeng was a little depressed and about to go back to drink, suddenly a gust of wind hit his ears.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't look back, his head tilted slightly, and he avoided the attack behind him. At the same time, his right hand reached out, and the spirit rhino stretched out his fingers, slamming it towards the short sword that attacked him. To his surprise, however, he missed.
Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger is very famous, claiming to be able to clamp all the weapons in the world. He didn't really think he could hold all the weapons. But except for a limited number of people, Lu Xiaofeng really never missed.
But this time, he missed. The point is that he can be sure that the people who are coming are not the ones he is familiar with. It's a real stranger.
Whether it is height or size, or the number of martial arts, he is completely unfamiliar. Lu Xiaofeng could feel that the other party was using real skills. That kind of swordsmanship is definitely an extremely powerful swordsmanship. But he himself was not even impressed.
It stands to reason that there are people with this kind of swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes, and he should recognize them at a glance.
The opponent misses the blow and immediately retreats. But he didn't retreat completely, but glanced at Lu Xiaofeng meaningfully.
Lu Xiaofeng knew something and immediately followed. The other party's light skills are very powerful, but Lu Xiaofeng can still easily keep up. And as the other party fled, the doubts in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes became heavier and heavier. Because the direction in which the other party is moving is actually Pingnan Palace.
The other party is from Pingnan Palace? Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. But the idea was quickly dispelled. Because the other party did not enter the Pingnan Palace, he just flew through the roof next to him.
Lu Xiaofeng's face changed slightly. But he knew that the masters of the Pingnan Palace, and Ye Gucheng, the sword saint, were in charge. Dare to run from here, it's really a little impatient.
However, what surprised him was that the two of them flew all the way without alarming the masters of the palace.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked in his heart, and his doubts became more and more intense. There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that the masters of the palace are not there. After all, the palace is popular. It's just that those top masters are missing.
And the other party flew over the palace so unscrupulously, obviously knowing this inside story. However, this result not only did not solve Lu Xiaofeng's doubts, but made him have more doubts in his heart. Who is this man and what is his purpose?
And just as the two of them flew by, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly stared in front of him, and his feet stopped involuntarily. Because through the window below, he saw an incredible scene.
Is that...... Emperor?
The reason why Lu Xiaofeng thought so was because in the room below, there was a young man in a dragon robe. His every move seemed to be exactly the same as that emperor's.
Lu Xiaofeng has actually entered the palace and has seen the emperor. However, his identity cannot be directly faced. So the meeting is through the bead curtain. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng did not know the emperor's true appearance. But looking at the young man's body movements, it is obvious that he is exactly the same as the emperor.
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then a lightning bolt crossed the sky in his mind. At this moment, he finally figured out the plan of the Pingnan Palace. They really want to rebel. But it's different from the rebellion that ordinary people imagine. They will not raise troops, let alone force the palace.
They were going to quietly replace the emperor.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly raised his head, only to find that the killer he was chasing before had long disappeared at this time. At this time, Lu Xiaofeng still didn't understand. The other party did not shoot to kill himself. It's to lure yourself over and let yourself see this scene with your own eyes.
And at this time, the 'emperor' in the room turned around. Lu Xiaofeng also clearly saw the other party's face. That person was the son of Pingnan.
Lu Xiaofeng held back the surprise in his heart, turned around and quietly left the Pingnan Palace.
And just when Lu Xiaofeng thought he had discovered the truth.
The prince of Pingnan, who was pretending to be the emperor and training himself in words and deeds, also encountered a strange thing. He found himself with one more person in his room. But this man is very strange, he wears a big red cotton jacket and a full beard. The man looked ugly and weird.
What's even more strange is that this person is still embroidering. A bearded man in a big red cotton coat was sitting in his room embroidering. Pingnan Shizi only felt that his whole person was a little bad. In modern parlance, the SAN value is crazy.
But Pingnan Shizi didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he saw that the other party appeared in his room easily, and he didn't notice it. knows that the other party's martial arts are far above him.
He didn't call the guards, because he knew that the guards outside were useless. The real masters in the house have been taken out by their father to deal with some other things.
Slowly pressing the hilt of the sword with his right hand, the prince of Pingnan tried to resolve it with words.
"Do you know what this place is?"
The man's hand movement stopped, and he looked up at Heinan Shizi. He replied in a hoarse voice.
"I know that this is the Pingnan Palace, and I know that you are the prince of Pingnan. But since I took the money, then whoever you are, you have to die. I'm sorry, Shizi. ”
The sharp sword qi cut off the candle flame in the room, and the prince struck first. Extinguished the candles throughout the room and jumped towards the window.
But in the middle of the air, there was a sharp pain in the right eye. A sharp steel needle actually pierced his eye.
"Ah......" Shizi screamed, covered his eyes, and fell heavily into the courtyard.
The scream alarmed the palace guards. Dozens of guards rushed in, but with a flick of the strange man's fingers, more than a dozen steel needles shot out.
There was a wail on the ground. The dozen or so guards at the front actually covered their eyes and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Bold murderer, dare to commit murder in the palace." A deep voice came. Jiang Chongwei, the deputy head of the official palace. Since Jin Jiuling came, his status has plummeted.
Fortunately, the palace remembered him for many years and still made him the deputy governor. Jiang Chongwei was grateful and vowed to die for the palace.
At this time, he slapped out his palms, and he was actually relying on his own horizontal kung fu, ready to exchange his life with the other party.
However, at this time, the man in red changed his face and his body retreated rapidly. Avoided a flying copper coin. Jiang Chongwei was just about to attack, when he saw that there was an extra person in front of him. It was Jin Jiuling, the chief manager who replaced him.
"Manager Jiang, the safety of the prince is of great importance. You take the son away, and leave it to me here. ”
Jiang Chongwei was actually a little unconvinced in his heart, but he also knew that he was most likely not the opponent of the man in red. Therefore, I still have some reluctance to retreat. With a kind of guard, escort the prince back.
On the other side, Jin Jiuling had already handed over hands with the other party. In this fight, Jiang Chongwei was immediately convinced. Because he found that the martial arts of these two people were far above his own. The horizontal practice of kung fu that he is proud of is probably nothing in their eyes.
Jin Jiuling fought the man in red for several rounds. I saw that there were more and more guards in the courtyard. The man in red also turned around and fled. Jin Jiuling chased after him. The team behind was quickly thrown away, losing the trace of the two.
...................
After some hard thinking, Lu Xiaofeng finally decided to expose this matter as soon as possible. No matter who has any conspiracy, once it is revealed, it will be meaningless.
Thinking of this, he hurried to the Forbidden City. But at this time, the night was already dark, and he couldn't enter the capital at all. But fortunately, he was a guard at the city gate, and someone knew him. knows that he has a good relationship with Wei Ziyun.
And Wei Ziyun is the commander of the inner guard. Their immediate boss, so he reluctantly informed him.
But soon, the guard came back and told Lu Xiaofeng. Wei Ziyun is not here, it seems that he has gone to the Pingnan Mansion to deal with something.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked, I just left from Pingnan Palace, there is nothing big there?
You must know that Wei Ziyun is the commander of the guards. At such an hour, it is generally impossible to leave Ouchi at will.
Lu Xiaofeng thought of the secret he had discovered and did not dare to hesitate. Directly turned his head and rushed towards the Pingnan Palace.
Running all the way, I saw the Pingnan Mansion full of people from a distance. Something big seems to have happened. Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed a lively person and asked.
"What's going on, what's going on in the palace?"
"Hey, I heard that there is an assassin, and the son of the world has been assassinated."
"The prince was assassinated, what's the matter, is it serious?"
"Lu Xiaofeng, what are you doing here?" Wei Ziyun's voice came from his ears. Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward when he saw him.
"I heard that the prince was assassinated, what's going on, it's not serious."
"Oh, that's a pity. It is said that the prince could not save one eye. The assassin's martial arts were so strong that he even alarmed the palace. His Majesty sent me over to take a look. By the way, what are you doing here? ”
Lu Xiaofeng: "...... It's okay, it's just passing by......"
