MTL - The Melon-eating Swordsman In the Ancient Dragon World-Chapter 374 Climb to the top of the Forbidden City

Chapter 374: Climbing to the Top of the Forbidden City

On a full moon night, Your Highness Taihe.

After all, this is the most powerful place in the world. Even Sikong Zhaixing, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can't help but become heavier in his steps, and the arrogance on Tang Tianzong's face has also subsided.

Sima Ziyi and Bu Ju had some longing in their eyes. Only Mu Taoist and Honest Monk's eyes did not change, but they finally breathed a little lighter.

Ouyang Qing hugged Su Shaoying's arm nervously, her heart beating a little fast.

People in the martial arts world are indeed not afraid of the royal power, and they may be carefree in the mountains and rivers, or perform chivalrous acts on the streets of the busy city, but only if they have not personally come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which symbolizes the centralization of power in the world!

 The large and empty squares and halls, overlooking the world, can indeed maximize the intimidation of the imperial power. When they meet at first sight, they can give people a great psychological pressure and make them feel their own insignificance.

 Even the Taoist priests and honest monks are not exempt from vulgarity.

"It doesn't look too new. Has it not been maintained for a long time? Is the emperor also short of money?" Su Shaoying looked up and down at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then asked, "Have you placed any bets on this decisive battle? "

 Everybody, “…”

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but look at Su Shaoying, "Aren't you nervous at all?"

Su Shaoying asked, “Why should I be nervous?”

 “This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony!” Ouyang Qing said.

Bu Ju said with feverish eyes, "When the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses. This is the order issued from the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"But now you are preparing to trample the Palace of Supreme Harmony under your feet." Su Shaoying nodded, "Guess, if any of the guards suddenly leaked the information and let the emperor know what happened tonight, would they be furious? Issue a fatwa to kill you?"

"When the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses." Su Shaoying clicked her tongue, "Sichuan, Sanxiang, northern Hubei, and Jiangnan all have fun watching it."

 Everybody, “…”

The honest monk shook his head and sighed, "It seems that Lu Xiaofeng was right."

Taoist Mu asked, "What did Lu Xiaofeng say?"

The honest monk said, "Lu Xiaofeng said that Su Shaoying is not a good person."

Sikong Zhaixing’s feet were also a little soft, but his mouth was still tough, “I am homeless and have no job, so I am relaxed.”

Su Shaoying nodded and made a gesture of invitation to him, "So you invite me first, take the lead, and let us see the peerless lightness of the King of King Stealers."

Sikong Zhaixing rolled his eyes, "Now that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue haven't come, why should I go up in a hurry?"

 “Are you scared?” Su Shaoying asked.

Sikong Zhaixing glared and said, "Of course not!"

"That's good." Su Shaoying murmured to herself, her voice so low that even the surrounding guards could hear, "Let me just say, how can you be afraid of Sikong Zhaixing, who can even steal the emperor's royal seal?"

 Sikong Zhaixingren were all dumbfounded, "When did I steal the emperor's royal seal?"

 “Have you never stolen before?”

 “I never stole it!”

"Oh, I may have remembered it wrong." Su Shaoying said indifferently, "I just see that you are quite nervous and I want to help you relax."

 Sikong Zhaixing, “…”

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly appeared in front of several people and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?"

Everyone nodded, "Exactly!" "Then I'm really touched." Lu Xiaofeng blinked, a little confused, but he had just aroused Ximen Chuixue's competitive spirit, but his own mood was a little low. So I didn't notice anything wrong with everyone's expressions.

“In that case, let’s go up!” Lu Xiaofeng said.

“We all took the ribbon from you. To thank you, you go up first!” Sikong Zhaixing said.

 Everyone laughed when they heard this. Lu Xiaofeng turned her eyes and smiled, "How come the king of thieves who was not a queen just now suddenly became so humble? Is there some kind of savage beast in the Palace of Supreme Harmony?"

"There are no wild beasts, but there are suddenly a few more people." Wei Ziyun's voice suddenly sounded, and then he and Yin Xian appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Wei Ziyun, "I don't have the ability to turn six ribbons into nine."

 “More than nine.” Wei Ziyun said calmly.

Lu Xiaofeng’s eyes flashed, “Is there anyone else up there?”

"You'll know when you go up and take a look." Wei Ziyun's face was not good-looking either. He had calculated everything and included Lu Xiaofeng, but he didn't realize that the six ribbons he had prepared turned out to be too many!

 How much more?

When Lu Xiaofeng flew onto the cornices of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she was stunned, "So many?"

With Lu Xiaofeng taking the lead, Sikong Zhaixing used his unparalleled lightness skills to catch up, not slowing down at all. The rest of the group followed suit, even Bu Ju pulled a rope and climbed up.

 The roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, except for the occasional handyman who came up to clean and repair the glazed tiles, no one had been up there for a long time, but now it was densely packed with people.

In addition to being scattered around, their status and martial arts skills are also quite good. Among the imperial guards who are preparing to watch the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, there are actually a dozen people wearing hats and wearing different clothes standing on the roof of the hall.

These people all have discolored ribbons wrapped around their waists, or wear bamboo hats to cover their faces, or wear human skin masks. Apparently they don’t want people to see their true colors.

 The only good news is that these people are all standing together alone, and they are not carrying weapons. It looks like they really got the ribbon from nowhere and came to watch the decisive battle.

Wei Ziyun pulled Lu Xiaofeng aside, "Yin Xian just told me, where did you and Su Shaoying's ribbons come from?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn’t hide it either, “Mine came from Sikong Zhaixing, Su Shaoying and the others came from Gongsun Auntie.”

“Sikong Zhaixing, the king of thieves, and Gongsun, the leader of the red shoes?” Wei Ziyun couldn’t help but take a breath, “These are two masters who are ever-changing and never reveal their true faces!”

“Do you suspect that Sikong Zhaixing stole the ribbon from the palace treasury?” Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Wei Ziyun shook his head and told Lu Xiaofeng that ever since the four brothers gave Lu Xiaofeng six ribbons, and until dusk, there was always one person who stayed in the inner treasury and would never let a fly go.

 “So…” Lu Xiaofeng’s eyes flickered.

Wei Ziyun sighed and told the weaknesses of Tu Fang, Yin Xian, and Ding Ao. They all also need money.

“So they also have connections with celebrities and princes within the court and masters of the world outside the court.” Wei Ziyun said, “It’s not surprising that they can contact Sikong Zhaixing and Aunt Gongsun.”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but frown, instinctively thinking that this matter involved more than just money.

“Since there are so many more people, what are you going to do now?” Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Wei Ziyun shook his head, "What can we do? These people look like friends from the underworld who have been living in seclusion for many years. We can only call in more people at this time, just in case."

 Lu Xiaofeng’s eyes brightened instantly.
