In the sky, the wind and clouds are surging.

The originally calm night suddenly became noisy.

A rich golden light appeared in the sky above the Mingyue Tower.

This golden light is as dazzling as the midday sun.

Just as eye-catching.

It seems to radiate endless brilliance.

In the golden light, everyone could faintly hear the sound of the dragon's groan.

In a moment.

The golden light converged, and a golden dragon soared through the clouds and mist, looking down on everyone.

In the golden dragon's pupils, it was cold and majestic, as if it was an emotionless heavenly dao, giving everyone great coercion.

This golden dragon is the true meaning of Emperor Xiaoyuan's martial arts.

When Wang Wenzhong heard that Ji Tianci was going to ask for a holy judge, he was a little nervous, and the corners of his mouth froze.

But then, he regained his composure.

Please, so what?

He is a confidant of His Majesty.

Over the years, after saddling the horse for His Majesty, His Majesty's dirty work was all done by him for His Majesty.

With his position in His Majesty's heart, he believed that His Majesty would miss the old love and let him go home to retire.

After the golden dragon appeared, Wang Wenzhong immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

"Your Majesty, please punish you."

Wang Wenzhong confessed very shamefully.

In front of Emperor Xiaoyuan, his attitude was excellent, and he knelt down directly to confess his guilt, and he didn't even refute it.

Zhou Tianchuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Wang Wenzhong confess his guilt so simply, and his brows furrowed.

As an old fritter in officialdom, he knows the unspoken rules of Wu officialdom too well.

He also knows the character of Emperor Xiaoyuan well.

If Wang Wenzhong relied on Emperor Xiaoyuan's trust and favor to him, and did not admit his guilt, he would completely annoy Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan was furious, and maybe he wanted to put Wang Wenzhong to death.

But Wang Wenzhong's confessional appearance just grasped the weakness of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

For his henchmen, Emperor Xiaoyuan has always been very generous.

Zhou Tianchuan has almost seen Wang Wenzhong's fate.

Probably the same as Cheng Yishan, he returned to his hometown.

not only punished Wang Wenzhong, but also saved Jiuqing's face.

Zhang Jingzong, Li Zhen and others also have similar judgments in their hearts.

However, the next words of Emperor Xiaoyuan shocked everyone and shocked their hearts.

"Wang Wenzhong colluded with the cult and was heinous!"

"Be punished!"

The golden dragon's mouth spat out murderous words.

Be punished!

As soon as the word "Xu" came out, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, and hoarfrost formed on the grass and trees on the ground.

Be punished!

Just two words.

fell on Wang Wenzhong's ears, but it was like five thunderbolts.

He was stunned.

He doesn't understand!

He couldn't figure it out at all!

How could Emperor Xiaoyuan be so ruthless.

The composure and composure on Wang Wenzhong's face were all gone.

Instead, there was a look of trepidation.

There is no difference between them and those prisoners who have been pushed to the gallows with bloodless faces.

"Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to you!"

"Everything the minister does is for your majesty!"

Wang Wenzhong Yang Tian shouted, his eyes were cracked, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and incomprehension.

But before he could finish his sentence.

The golden dragon in the sky spat out a golden light.

The golden light fell.

shrouded in Wang Wenzhong's body.

This golden light gives people the feeling of majesty and solemnity, like a god above the nine heavens, which cannot be looked at directly or blasphemed.

The golden light came quickly, so fast that Wang Wenzhong couldn't dodge.

Go fast, the fast Ji Tianci blinked, and the golden light dispersed.

When the golden light dissipated, Ji Tianci looked at Wang Wenzhong.

Wang Wenzhong was found to have no scars on his body.

But Wang Wenzhong's breath was completely cut off.

He who is dead cannot die anymore!

"Shhhh

"What a horrible method!"

"A great grandmaster, just like that!"

"I didn't even see the wounds."

Not only Ji Tianci was shocked in his heart, but also set off a stormy wave.

Zhou Tianchuan, Zhang Jingzong, Li Zhen and others also showed horror in their eyes, and the horror in their pupils was like a trickle, about to flow out.

After killing Wang Wenzhong, the golden dragon dispersed, and Zhou Tianchuan dared to force the sound into a line and talk secretly.

"Your Majesty's cultivation has gone further!"

"Five years ago, His Majesty had already broken the limit eleven times, and now it ......"

Zhou Tianchuan's words were not finished.

But Zhang Jingzong, Li Zhen and others all understood, and their hearts were slightly one.

Emperor Xiaoyuan's progress in martial arts exceeded all of their expectations.

Being able to become a great grandmaster is undoubtedly not a real Tianjiao.

But even if it is Tianjiao, when he reaches the level of a great grandmaster, it is difficult to go to the blue sky if he wants to go further.

Five years is too short a time for a great grandmaster.

It's like a snap of your fingers.

And Emperor Xiaoyuan's cultivation has actually gone further in just five years, and this kind of martial arts talent is really terrifying.

"You say, has Your Majesty broken the limit twelve times?"

"It's hard to say!"

"What I shot just now was only His Majesty's martial arts true intentions, not His Majesty's personal action."

"However, in the future, Your Majesty's majesty will increase day by day!"

Li Zhen bowed slightly.

The more powerful Emperor Xiaoyuan is, the more powerful he will undoubtedly become, especially the attitude towards these ministers.

This will make them, the three princes and nine ministers, double the pressure.

However, the strength of the monarch's martial arts is not all bad, but not good.

At the very least, it can be tougher on the outside.

A strong man who has broken the limit twelve times can undoubtedly increase the foundation of the Wu Kingdom.

Therefore, for Emperor Xiaoyuan's strong martial arts strength, Zhou Tianchuan and others are mixed.

……

Wang Wenzhong was killed.

But after the fall of Wang Wenzhong, the aftermath in the officialdom of Wu did not subside so quickly.

Twenty-five years ago, Wang Wenzhong was not the only official involved in the Guangling tragedy.

Other officials who benefited also went to the prison of Dali Temple.

In addition, Wang Wenzhong is one of the nine kings, and there are many officials in the court who cling to him.

These officials also entered the list of liquidations.

The last time Jiuqing fell, it was Cheng Yishan.

It's just that Cheng Yishan finally got a good death, and Emperor Xiaoyuan allowed him to return to his hometown.

Therefore, the officials who clinged to Cheng Yishan were not unlucky, at most they were cold benches and were squeezed out by their colleagues.

People who have connections may have jumped out of the car.

But this time was different.

Wang Wenzhong was personally killed by Emperor Xiaoyuan, so whether it was Dali Temple or Yushitai, they fell into the well, beat the water dogs, and collected evidence of Wang Wenzhong's crimes as a traitor over the years.

accepting bribes, seizing fertile land, and adulterating wives and daughters......

Many crimes have been dug up.

Even with it, many officials who clinged to Wang Wenzhong were also found.

For a while, the official property of Wu State was shaken, and the officials who had previously attached themselves to Wang Wenzhong all put away their tails and trembled, for fear that they would be taken away by the people of Dali Temple when they woke up.

As for Ji Tianci, the initiator, it was difficult to be idle for a few days, and he didn't even go to the Hanging Mirror Division, so he lay flat in the palace.

It's a pity that because of his physique, the little fox can only watch from a distance and can't play profane.

"Aunt Qing, is there a big gap between the great grandmasters?"

Ji Tianci was very curious about the gap between the great grandmasters.

That night, Wang Wenzhong, who was the great grandmaster, was killed by Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Moreover, it was not the body of Emperor Xiaoyuan who killed Wang Wenzhong in seconds, but the golden dragon conjured up by Emperor Xiaoyuan's martial arts.

Even if Wang Wenzhong was careless, he didn't believe that Emperor Xiaoyuan would kill him so ruthlessly.

But the difference in strength between Wang Wenzhong and Emperor Xiaoyuan still made Ji Tianci feel frightened.

Ji Tianci was half-lying, looking like he was lying flat, and asked Aunt Qing.

He turned his head to look at Aunt Qing beside him, and saw that Aunt Qing was wearing a long cyan dress as before.

It's just that the hem of today's long skirt is a little sheer and a little thin.

The light shines on the skirt, and you can vaguely see the long legs like jade pillars, slender and snow-white, which makes people want to hold it in their hands and play with it.

Aunt Qing sat in a very dignified posture, with her legs together, and when she heard Ji Tianci's question, she groaned slightly.

Ji Tianci's question is very high-end.

It's not something that ordinary people can understand at all.

At least a few of the Grandmasters in the Hanging Mirror Division are not yet able to come into contact with this kind of problem.

Not only Ji Tianci was curious, but even An Weiyang had colorful ripples in his eyes, staring at Aunt Qing.

Her jade hands dragged her white chin, lazy appearance, the slim long skirt was slowly propped up, and the heaviness on her chest was like a fruit infused with pulp water, outlining a full droplet.

Aunt Qing saw that the two of them were curious, so she said slowly, introducing them to the knowledge of the Great Grandmaster level.

"If you break the limit ten times and realize the true meaning of martial arts, you will be a great grandmaster."

"But among the great masters, there are also strengths and weaknesses. Even the gap between the Great Grandmasters is even bigger than that between ordinary people and the Great Grandmasters! ”

"Eleven times to break the limit, it is the top great master, the top great master has reached the point of dripping blood and spirit, in every drop of blood, there is spirituality, which is equivalent to an incarnation."

"Twelve times to break the limit, it is the most powerful grandmaster, basically belongs to the top level of Shenzhou, once you make a move, you will be accompanied by celestial phenomena, when you shoot, the stone is shocked, even if it is a hundred miles away, you can see it clearly."

"As for the thirteen breaks, that's the legendary level. In an era, there may not be a single person. ”

"The Great Grandmaster who has broken the limit thirteen times also has a nickname, that is, the Invincible Grand Master."

"Invincible Grand Master, invincible in the world!"

Aunt Qing exhaled lightly and said the dividing line between the great grandmasters.

"Wang Wenzhong is just the most ordinary great grandmaster, he has broken the limit ten times, and the true meaning of martial arts he has realized is also sparse and ordinary."

"Emperor Xiaoyuan, five years ago, he had already broken the limit eleven times."

"Last night's shot, the power is amazing, as for whether there are twelve times to break the limit." Aunt Qing pondered for a while, and said in an uncertain tone, "It's hard to say, I'm afraid only Emperor Xiaoyuan himself knows." ”

"However, even if the limit is not broken twelve times, I'm afraid it won't be far away!"

"How can you skip the challenge?" Ji Tianci was a little curious.

Aunt Qing chuckled and shook her head.

"In the past two thousand years, I have never heard of a great grandmaster who can skip the level of challenge."

"Those who can cultivate to the realm of the Great Grandmaster are undoubtedly the pride of the sky, and there are many means, and they can't challenge beyond the level like when they were weak."

"What's more, after entering the Great Grandmaster level, there is a world of difference between breaking the limit once."

Ji Tianci listened to Aunt Qing's judgment.

However, he was keenly aware of it.

Aunt Qing's judgment has a premise.

That's for nearly two thousand years.

And what about 2,000 years ago?

"Two thousand years ago, did anyone succeed?" Ji Tianci then asked.

Aunt Qing nodded very decisively, and said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, and there are quite a few." ”

"Two thousand years ago, the aura had not completely declined, and the strongest inheritance at that time was Taoism."

"Some geniuses of the Taoist family, who have mastered many Gu Immortal Methods, can leapfrog and challenge the powerhouses of other Hundred Schools."

"There are at least a dozen similar records, and there are even more unrecorded."

"Because of this, the Taoists of 2,000 years ago were able to hold on to the ears of a hundred schools."

"It's a pity that no one knows the Gu Immortal Method anymore!"

Aunt Qing sighed with emotion, and Ji Tianci on the side pursed her lips, as if she was mocking Aunt Qing for having no eyes.

"Little hunter, in the Guangling tragedy twenty-five years ago, was it really Wang Wenzhong who colluded with the cult?"

An Weiyang suddenly changed the topic and said coldly.

Is it Wang Wenzhong who colluded with the cult?

This question made Ji Tianci ponder.

Did Wang Wenzhong collude with the cult?

Ji Tianci didn't think much.

Because in the Mingyue Tower, Wang Wenzhong only admitted that he poured dirty water on the Guangling County Guard, but did not admit that he colluded with the cult.

Ji Tianci believed that what Wang Wenzhong said was true.

After all, on that occasion, Wang Wenzhong had no reason to lie at all.

Moreover, if Wang Wenzhong really colluded with the cult.

Why hasn't there been any movement all these years?

After he became Wei Weiqing, shouldn't he join forces with the cult to make even greater moves?

Even if he is for the sake of his own glory and wealth, the cult will not let him go.

He will definitely use this trick to manipulate Wang Wenzhong and force Wang Wenzhong to make things easier for the cult.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

"I don't think Wang Wenzhong did it."

"Then why did Emperor Xiaoyuan kill Wang Wenzhong on the grounds that Wang Wenzhong colluded with the cult?" An Weiyang asked with a smile.

Ji Tianci shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Otherwise, what excuse?"

"Could it be that Emperor Xiaoyuan admitted that he had no eyes, and when he was investigating the Guangling tragedy, he was fooled by Wang Wenzhong and persecuted Zhongliang?"

"Emperor Xiaoyuan is also an emperor, and it is important to have a step down."

"As for those who really collude with the cult, now that 25 years have passed, I am afraid it will be difficult to find out."

"Perhaps, he has died in the peace of the year."

"It's also possible, with impunity, who knows?"

Although Ji Tianci also wants to find out the truth, he really can't start.

It's been twenty-five years, and it's not easy to return Guangling County to keep them innocent.

What's more, the current Ji Tianci has more important things to do.

That is to put his own people on the throne of Wei Weiqing.

Wei Weiqing, in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.

The Imperial Forest Army is an extremely important force in the imperial capital.

After Wang Wenzhong was killed, the dragons were leaderless.

On weekdays, it is naturally not easy to infiltrate the Royal Forest Army.

But at this moment, in this special situation, there may not be no room for interference.

Moreover, not only Ji Tianci, but even the crown prince, the third prince and others are also competing for their brains and infiltrating their influence into the Imperial Forest Army.
