Beijing.
Simon.
A carriage drove into the city gate.
When the soldiers on duty saw the sign of Prince Sheng's Mansion, they quickly drove away the people and bowed to welcome the carriage into the city.
The clan has no real power, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a powerful figure.
The curtains of the car were slightly opened, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with slender eyebrows was sitting inside. She looked at the people gathered at the city gate. She seemed to be in good spirits.
The carriage slowly walked into the city. There were many shops on both sides and the streets were busy with traffic.
The bustling crowd made a lot of noise.
The beautiful woman was surprised and said, "I haven't returned to the capital for several years, but the world has changed!"
"When we entered the palace, the capital was very sick, and many people said that the building would collapse."
The white-haired old man driving the car had a deep and deep voice. "I never thought that the three emperors Hongwu, Zhengtong, and Tianshun would appear in succession, and they would have the appearance of ZTE. Unfortunately, the country's luck was not good enough, and the last two did not live long."
"Hongwu and Zhengtong can be called wise kings, while Tianshun just steals the credit."
The beautiful woman is a Empress, Three Yang Sect saint from the orthodox dynasty. She said faintly, "Daqing is supported by Tangge Lao, who can last for two hundred years. I don't know how many generations of merit the Zhao family has accumulated."
"Jie Jie Jie... Our family doesn't think highly of Daqing. When the new king grows up, how can we allow anyone to point fingers?"
The old man smiled strangely and said, "In the future, without the governor sitting in the inner court, the new king will have more means to clean up the court. If Mr. Tangge is lucky, he can keep a whole body!"
The saint agreed, "Eunuch Hai has such knowledge, which is more than 90% of the officials in the court."
The old man was Eunuch Hai who murdered Emperor Zhengtong. After escaping from the palace, he joined Three Yang Sect as the chief protector, and his status was only lower than that of the leader and the saint.
"Our family has seen a lot of bad things, so we can naturally understand the reason."
The saint nodded and said, "So whether it is to overthrow Daqing or seek immortality, the Governor will die!"
The purpose of the Three Yang Sect is to overthrow the imperial court. Killing the governor will cause an imbalance in the imperial court structure, causing Daqing to collapse from within.
"Our family has served three generations of emperors, so we have some status, but it's far behind the governor who manipulated the change of imperial power."
Eunuch Hai admired. "It is truly unprecedented for a chamberlain to reach the level of a governor!"
"It's a pity that it can't be used by the Holy Religion."
The saint thought back to the time when the governor was just a slightly powerful eunuch who had to avoid kowtow when he saw her. She never imagined that he would suddenly become a big shot manipulating the imperial power.
"Eunuch Hai, do you believe that Duke Du is immortal?"
"Dubious."
Eunuch Hai looked solemn, and his old eyes were a bit fiery. "Our family knows Old Lu. He is not a talkative person, not to mention the authenticity can be easily verified."
"The mistake is so shocking that our family has been unable to bear coming to the capital for a long time!"
In the early years of practicing Ephemeral Bloom Manual, Eunuch Hai's lifespan was seriously damaged. Even if the foundation is changed and Innate Grandmaster is broken, the lifespan is still short now.
Since learning the top secret of immortality, Eunuch Hai has been tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.
"Eunuch Hai comes to the capital alone. Not to mention obtaining the flesh and blood of the Governor, even Zhen Gang's protective body cannot be broken."
There was a hint of surprise in the saint's voice when she spoke, "Shouyuan Endless Cultivation Ephemeral Bloom Manual is a perfect match in the world. No one knows how strong the Du Gong's true energy is!"
Eunuch Hai said, "No matter how strong he is, he is still a human being, not a fairy or a demon, not to mention that he has not even broken through the innate world."
The saint asked, "Eunuch Hai is close to Old Lu. Do you know how many Martial Grandmaster he invited?"
Old Lu took the lead in going to the Three Yang Sect general forum, and made a plan to surround and kill the governor and divide his flesh and blood. After that, he went to overseas islands, the far north glaciers, the far west deserts, and the far south Ten Thousand Mountains, and invited several powerful men with great reputations.
"At least six!"
Eunuch Hai said, "They are all old guys who are rumored to be dead, but in fact they are still living. Their strength has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Their physical strength may not be as good as that of a young man, but their methods are even better!"
The saint nodded and said, "You, me, plus the leader, a total of nine masters surrounded and killed me. I really gave the governor enough face."
"But that's not all."
Eunuch Hai said, "There are thousands of kilograms of gunpowder buried underground in Prince Sheng's Mansion. We only need to introduce the Duke into it, and we can at least seriously injure him!"
"Gunpowder... Since the emergence of gunpowder, it has been difficult for ordinary believers to compete with the imperial court. They suffered heavy casualties in the first encounter."
The saint frowned slightly. "The members of the church who have been practicing martial arts for several years are no match for the fire gun soldiers who have been training for three to five days. It is rumored that the imperial court is making more powerful fire guns. Will it threaten Innate Grandmaster in the future?"
Eunuch Hai pondered for a moment and answered with absolute certainty, "Definitely!"
The saint sighed, "When that time comes, who will still work hard to practice martial arts?"
After practicing martial arts for decades, his talent and luck were extremely high, and he was able to break through the innate realm. As a result, he could not withstand the volleys of hundreds of fire cannons, and martial arts naturally declined.
Eunuch Hai waved his whip to drive the horses to walk faster.
"That's why our family wants to live forever so as to preserve the martial arts inheritance. This is a great merit!"
The saint couldn't help but smile.
No matter what you want to do, good or bad, you can always find a reason when you need it.
roadside.
The traveling merchant and hawker were haggling with the customers. They were furious over the two pennies and secretly used Art of Breath Listening to listen to all the cars and horses on the road.
Eastern Depot secret agents are all over the people.
Suddenly, words such as "Du Gong", "Martial Arts", and "Fire Gun" came to my ears. They were all characters under strict surveillance by Eastern Depot. I glanced at the source of the sound from the corner of my eye.
The old man driving the car had a pale face and no beard. He looked carefully at his fingers, eyebrows and eye movements, and found that there were traces of a servant.
The vendor noted down the appearance and direction of the carriage, handed the pick to the stall owner nearby to look at, and then slipped through the crowd and quickly disappeared.
After a while.
A dozen people, Eastern Depot Imperial Bodyguards, pretended to be ordinary people and followed the carriage.
The leader of the service confirmed that the old man driving the car was none other than Eastern Depot, who had searched all over the world but still could not find Eunuch Hai.
"Quickly summon the Governor!"
royal palace.
All officials dispersed.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, followed the eunuch on the left and right, and walked a few steps quickly to follow Tang Mingyuan.
"Our family congratulates Mr. Tang on becoming the emperor's master. He has not yet been established, and his position is comparable to that of the three princes. In the future, Mr. Qing Kingdom will point to you!"
Tang Mingyuan Why can't I hear it? This is a mockery of myself for being unblockable at such a young age.
"My official position is better than being a governor. There have been rumors among the people for a long time, and the people are calling you unprecedented names."
Counting the powerful ministers in history, there are different opinions on who ranks first. If we want to say which servant is the most powerful, Director Zhou can be said to be undisputed.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "This is not an insult. Our family is already a descendant. Otherwise, how can we reassure your majesty, Empress Dowager?"
"..."
Tang Mingyuan Helpless, the governor's face is as thick as the city wall.
The chamberlain is naturally trusted by the emperor, not to mention that the governor is famously loyal and will risk his life to avenge Emperor Zhengtong and support his two majesties to ascend the throne.
While the two were talking, they walked out of the east gate of the imperial city.
The Eastern Depot old eunuch waiting outside the palace gate quickly came over to report to the Governor.
Zhou Yi looked happy. "Can you hear clearly?"
The old eunuch said, "The driver was indeed Eunuch Hai, and the passenger was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing a bamboo hat when she got off the car. Judging from her figure, she must be a beauty. We went to Prince Sheng's Mansion together."
"Very good!"
Zhou Yi immediately guessed the identity of the woman, two Martial Grandmaster, both of whom had been operating in the palace for many years, plus Prince Sheng, who was quite prestigious in the clan.
The first thought was that Prince Sheng was unwilling to let the royal family be sidelined, so he joined forces with Sanyang Demon to plot rebellion.
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and then ordered, "Go back to Eastern Depot quickly to mobilize the elite. Our family will personally take action to eradicate the three Yang rebels for the country."
Tang Mingyuan looked at the Governor leaving in a hurry, and he probably had a guess in his mind.
After boarding the official sedan, he wrote two balls of paper with a pen and ordered his loyal guards to send Eastern Depot and Eunuch Bureau respectively.
"The Governor must leave the capital, and he cannot die easily. He will be a bait to attract the world's masters and buy me enough time to reform!"
Eastern Depot No need for detailed lists when deploying troops and generals.
But I saw hundreds of servants and Imperial Bodyguards running through the streets of Kyoto, rushing all the way to Prince Sheng's Mansion.
The governor wore a bright red cloak and rode a Ebony Cloud Treading Snow horse. He was surrounded by dozens of knights and servants. The young godson and the old father-in-law were all martial arts masters.
No matter what you encounter in front of you, just ride your horse and ride over it.
Stalls, carriages and horses were all crushed to pieces, even official sedans were no exception. Officials in red and green robes rolled and crawled to avoid them.
Eastern Depot Governor's fierce power has overwhelmed the world.
Zhou Yi said with high spirits, "The world often says that prosperity leads to decline, but we don't believe it. That is just an excuse for decline and failure made by fools!"
All the chamberlains shouted in unison, "The Governor is wise!"
Gan'er beside him patted the horse and said, "My godfather is responsible for suppressing all enemies in the world."
"Not bad, our family..."
Zhou Yi was about to praise Qian'er when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a token from the Tang Dynasty and shouting.
"Grandmaster, wait a minute."
Xilulu!
The snow horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.
Zhou Yi asked someone to interrupt the conversation with an evil look on his face, "Why are you looking for our family?"
The guard suppressed his fear and said respectfully, "Young man, please pay homage to the Governor. Your Majesty ordered me to give this thing to you and ask you about the whereabouts of a girl."
Zhou Yi naturally understood that Tang Mingyuan was asking where the late princess was hiding.
"Mr. Tang is really interesting. He does everything well and yet he is always looking for ways to make up for it. He is not a candidate for great things!"
The late emperor remembered his old friendship with his friend and never thought of killing Tang Mingyuan. However, Tang Mingyuan instead joined forces with the governor to kill the king, which can be said to be disloyal and unjust.
Perhaps out of guilt, since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been asking Zhou Yi for the daughter of the previous emperor.
"That person is a beloved relative and friend of our family. We cannot tell Mr. Tang so easily."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and took a picture of the ball of paper. When he opened it, the color changed dramatically. There were only two words written on it.
Immortality!
Only Old Lu in the world knows the top secret of immortality, and now Tang Mingyuan also knows it, which means that Old Lu has leaked the information.
Zhou Yi's mind was telegraphed, and Tang Mingyuan was obviously sending a warning.
"Three Yang Sect, Prince Sheng's Mansion..."
Based on this inference, Three Yang Sect may have deliberately exposed his traces and lured Zhou Yi to the back of Prince Sheng's Mansion to besieged and killed.
"I would like to see how much money was spent on setting a trap for our family in the capital, without fear of breaking a whole mouth of teeth!"
Zhou Yi thought so in his mind, but in fact he was cautious. He glanced in the direction of Prince Sheng's Mansion and immediately turned his horse's head.
The guard hurriedly reminded, "Duke, you haven't told the whereabouts of the little girl yet."
"Nancheng Liushu Hutong, No. B32."
Zhou Yi clamped the horse's belly with his legs and rode the horse very fast on the snow. As long as he returned to Eastern Depot, no one could break it unless the Capital Garrison army was mobilized.
The servants didn't know what was going on. Seeing the governor's gloomy face, they didn't dare to ask questions, so they turned back to Eastern Depot.
At this moment.
An arrow struck from the air, as fast as lightning, but silently.
"How brave!"
Zhou Yi yelled angrily, waved his hand with a giant palm of his true energy, and tried to push the feather arrow aside.
Tear!
The feather arrow easily penetrated the giant palm of Zhenqi, and the wood wrapped on the surface shattered, revealing the dark iron arrows carved with strange patterns inside.
"Sunset Arrow? Hunter King!"
Zhou Yi jumped into the air on horseback. After Sunset Arrow penetrated the snow horse, he shot through several chambermaids one after another.
brush!
Another Sunset Arrow struck, hitting Zhou Yi in the air with nowhere to dodge.
Bang bang bang...
After continuously penetrating the three layers of body-protecting Zhen Gang, the zhen qi attached to Sunset Arrow was exhausted. Zhou Yi flew several feet across the void, landed on the roof of a nearby restaurant, and shouted in the direction of the arrow.
"This junior heard that Hunter King traveled across the mountains and rivers and had a bold nature. I never thought that he was actually a villain who only knew how to sneak attack!"
I could only hear the people screaming and running away, but Hunter King, who was hiding in the dark, didn't respond.
Eastern Depot's chamberlains and Imperial Bodyguards jumped to the top of the building one after another, turning into human shields to block the Duke in all directions. They would rather die themselves than let the Duke die.
One of the former will die, and all of the latter will die!
"Na Amitabha!"
The Buddha's name, as loud as a bell, drowned out the voices of hundreds of people. At some point on the east side of the street, an old monk in yellow robes, as thin as a stick of wood, walked up.
The old monk was skinny and skinny, with facial features as sunken as a skull.
He is extremely tall, at least four to five feet tall. His limbs are as slender as bamboo poles, and his arms hang down to his knees.
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled the strong men recorded in the Sutra Library of the Imperial Palace. There was only one who fit the appearance of this monk.
"Western Regions holy monk, Vajra Immortal!"
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi was not afraid to laugh back, looked around and said, "Old Lu really took great pains to deal with our family. I wonder how many other seniors will show up, right?"
"I have heard the reputation of the Governor for a long time, and now I can see him. His reputation is well-deserved."
The speaker walked out of the wine shop on the west street. He had white hair and a messy beard. He was holding a big Gourd Flask in his hand. He said a few words and took a sip of wine. The most eye-catching thing was the giant blade on his back.
It's more than a foot wide and six feet long, like it's carrying a door panel.
"Ba Dao, Huo Zong!"
Zhou Yi's true energy circulates and turns into a yellow glass cover, layer by layer, protecting the whole body.
Hunter King and Vajra Immortal are strong men outside the Qing Kingdom, and their records are relatively vague, but the name of Ba Dao is much louder, and they are combined with Sword God Nameless to form a double sword.
"Senior, could it be that you want to follow in the footsteps of Sword God?"
Huo Zong took a big sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm mostly buried in the ground, why are you still afraid of life and death?"
Zhou Yi said, "Three of you are not enough for me to kill you!"
The words have not yet finished.
Three old acquaintances came from the south, a monk, a beauty, and a fake eunuch.
"Amitabha!"
Three Yang Sect The master, the old monk Qingyang, clasped his hands together, pronounced the Dharma chant, and said with kind eyes, "I haven't seen you for several years, and the governor's demeanor is even better than before."
Zhou Yi said coldly, "A few rats in the stinky ditch can't get on the table."
Two more figures walked out from the north. The leader was only wearing a piece of tiger skin around his waist. His long snow-white hair was scattered casually, and his exposed skin had countless tattoos of beasts.
Great Master Benxin followed the savage with a respectful expression.
"True Spirit, the previous generation Grand Master!"
Zhou Yi stood on the top of the building, looking down at the strong men in all directions. The strong wind blew in front of them, and the bright red cloaks rustled.
"One, two, three... eight Martial Grandmaster."
"Let's go together!"
