Beijing.

In the Six-Gate Prison.

Bai Zhantang was wearing his inner garments, holding onto the thick fence with both hands, trying to stick his head out, and said pitifully, "It is unfair, sir!

I was wronged!

I won’t dare to do that again!

Please!

Let me out! "

"What are you arguing about!" The prison boss rushed over after hearing the news and slapped Bai Zhantang's hand back with his scabbard, "Be quiet!"

"Sir, please talk to the higher-ups and let me out!" Bai Zhantang pleaded, clasping his hands and bowing, "I really won't dare to do it again!"

"Stop talking nonsense." The prison boss said unhappily, "For all the things you've done, you should be happy that you're still alive today.

As mentioned above, you will be executed in the autumn, so you should save your energy and think about what to eat as your last meal."

Bai Zhantang felt like he was struck by lightning, his legs went limp and he sat on the ground.

The jailer glanced at him and said nothing more. He swaggered out of the cell, walked through the dark and smelly corridor, and when he saw the man at the gate of the prison, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"My Lord, I've been waiting for a long time."

Zhui Ming nodded, "Did you do everything I said?"

"I will reply to your words, word for word!"

"That's good. You don't have to take care of him during this period, and you don't have to "look after" him. I will come again in a few days."

After Zhui Ming finished speaking, he turned and left.

Only after Zhui Ming walked away did the jailer straighten up, turned around and looked at the dark prison, scratched his head, and asked in confusion: "What crime did this kid commit? He alarmed Lord Zhui Ming."

The words are divided into two parts.

After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Zhui Ming did not stop walking and soon returned to the Shenhou Mansion.

The Shenhou Mansion covers a vast area and is adjacent to the imperial city. There are four tall buildings standing in the four corners, offering a panoramic view of everything happening around.

Zhui Ming greeted the guard at the door, then rushed straight to the "old" building he was in charge of, with a look of worry on his face.

Back in the building, the moment he pushed open the door, his whole body immediately tensed up, like a tiger ready to pounce.

The room, which should have been empty, was actually filled with a man in white, who was flipping through the ancient books that he was responsible for protecting.

Just as he was about to attack, the man seemed to have eyes on his back and smiled, "We've been apart for a long time, is this how you treat me?"

“It’s you!” Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhui Ming’s aura suddenly dropped, and he smiled bitterly, “I was wondering who has the strength to break into the old building easily.

Why didn't you say hello when you came? Do you have to give me a surprise?"

Lu Yuan put down the ancient book in his hand, turned around and said jokingly: "The Divine Marquis Mansion has many rules, I'm afraid I can't even get in."

"Can't get in?" Zhui Ming poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuan. "If you want to get in, how many people can stop you?"

"Just kidding." Lu Yuan sat down and said calmly: "Actually, I just came to see an old friend."

Yan Nantian’s words still frightened him.

During this period, he always felt that there were eyes watching him.

In order to avoid that strange feeling, he walked through sparsely populated areas from the Valley of Evil to Kunlun Mountain.

It was not until he entered the capital that the feeling disappeared and he was able to calm down and think slowly.

He and Yan Nantian had never met before, and given Yan Nantian's personality, there was no reason for him to lie to him just to apologize to him.

Who is that person...?

Could it be that he is my biological brother who is lost outside?

Putting aside the age mismatch, he was very sure that he was the only one in the Lu family...

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Zhui Ming waved his hand in front of Lu Yuan's eyes, "You are in such a hurry to find me, aren't you just going to stare blankly in my room?"

"Sorry." Lu Yuan smiled, "I've been busy lately, and it's easy to be distracted when I think about it."

"You have a lot to do? Do you know what kind of life I'm living now?" Zhui Ming said helplessly with a bitter face: "The world has become uneasy again recently.

There is an organization called Tianzun. I don't know if you have heard of it. It has been recruiting masters from the martial arts world. We have been keeping an eye on it for a long time and were about to close the net, but it fell apart overnight and all the people disappeared."

Lu Yuan's smile froze and he quickly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water.

"Also, do you know about the Evil Valley? The spies we planted nearby reported that the Evil Valley was destroyed by Yan Nantian, and some people escaped during the chaos."

Zhui Ming sighed, with the word "stress" written all over his face.

“So far, we have only captured some of them, and the whereabouts of some others are unknown.

I don't mean to say bad things about Master Yan, but...to eradicate all evil, his behavior is indeed a bit unkind."

Lu Yuan didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.

"As for the Yihua Palace, I don't know what happened. They suddenly dismissed all the disciples, and the whereabouts of the two palace masters are unknown.

Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe was suddenly beheaded in broad daylight, and the murderer and his head have not been found yet...but these are nothing."

Lu Yuan wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and asked while drinking water: "Anything else?"

"You know Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue, right?" Zhui Ming sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with these two, they have to duel on top of the Forbidden City.

Now the whole martial arts world is in turmoil, and the capital city is completely uneasy.

All the people in the Six Gates cancelled their days off and took turns on duty for twelve hours, strictly checking the people from the underworld who entered and left the capital, while also maintaining order.

You don't know how busy I am right now!"

At this point, Zhui Ming suddenly slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "How could I have forgotten about this!

The message you sent me before was to find someone named...Murong Tonghuang, right?

Oops, it’s all my fault!

I was so busy with the Six Gates' affairs that I forgot to send you the message.

how about it?

Didn't it bother you?"

Looking at Zhui Ming's guilty face, Lu Yuan shook his head calmly.

"That's good, that's good." Zhui Ming patted his chest in relief, "Don't worry, I'll give the order later and I promise to give you a reply within ten days!"

"I'm not in a hurry, take your time."

"No matter if you are in a hurry or not, I will treat it as a top priority." Zhui Ming said with a smile: "You helped us so much in the beginning, this is just a small thing I should do."

"Thank you." Lu Yuan nodded, and suddenly found that Zhui Ming's face was a little stiff, and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"There's something I forgot to tell you." Zhui Ming smiled awkwardly, "Your friend is still imprisoned in the Sky Prison."

"Heavenly Prison?" Lu Yuan was confused. "You didn't give him a gold medal of immunity?"

"Give it to me!" Zhui Ming said hurriedly, "For your sake, not only will I get a gold medal of immunity, but even his past misdeeds will be written off. It's just..."

Seeing Zhui Ming's strange expression, Lu Yuan suddenly realized something. After a moment of silence, he said helplessly, "He wouldn't really do that, would he?"

“You really do understand your friend.” Zhui Ming gave a thumbs up and said awkwardly, “Actually, we didn’t want to either.

But...this kid is too arrogant.

On the first day after getting the gold medal, he went to a teahouse and listened to white books all day. Not only that, he also ordered a table of fruits and snacks.

The shopkeeper asked him for money, but he ignored him.

In the end, the shopkeeper had no choice but to report to the authorities. As soon as our brothers arrived, this grandson slammed the gold medal of innocence on the table, which stunned us brothers. "

"And you let him go?"

"What else can I do? I can't slap myself in the face." Zhui Ming said with some regret, "As a result, this grandson went to the opera the next day, and in order to grab a front-row seat, he ordered someone without saying a word.

We brothers not only have to do the work, but also help him pay for tea. What do you think... "

Zhui Ming was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched. It looked like if Bai Zhantang was in front of him now, he would not be able to escape a beating.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Yuan said a little embarrassedly.

"This is not the end yet." Zhui Ming took a sip of water to moisten his throat, "I won't tell you what happened next.

In short, the people below couldn't stand it anymore, so they brought him back.

For your sake, we wanted to ask him to bow his head and submit, and promise not to abuse the golden ticket of immunity in the future, and then this matter would be over.

The result....the result..."

Zhui Ming became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and suddenly he picked up the teapot and drank it all in one gulp. After he had finished the last drop of water, he wiped his mouth and gritted his teeth and said, "As a result, this grandson held up the gold medal of exoneration and started roaring in court!

He scolded everyone from top to bottom.

We couldn't stand it anymore, so we beat him up and threw him into the prison, where he's still being held.

If you hadn't come, I would have locked him up for a year or so to straighten out his crooked body!"

"...I'm sorry to trouble you."

After all, this matter was caused by himself. Even though Lu Yuan was speechless, he could only apologize to Zhui Ming.

"It's no wonder, it's just a small matter, it will be over once we're done." Zhui Ming wiped his mouth and smiled at Lu Yuan, "When you're done, you can take him away anytime.

What happened before can be written off, but I must take back that golden medal of immunity.

It’s so tiring!

By the way, what are you going to do in Beijing this time?"

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He carefully thought about the wording and said, "Actually, I came to the capital for the martial arts competition."

"A duel?" Zhui Ming looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, picked up the teacup and said, "Anyone who can be your opponent must be no mediocre person.

You tell me a place and I'll record it. You don't have to worry about the rest.

I will definitely go and enjoy it when the time comes!"

"That..." Lu Yuan scratched his face, his smile actually became a little shy, "The Forbidden City Peak."

"Oh, Purple Forbidden City.....Pfft!"

Zhui Ming was sprayed all over by the tea that had just entered his mouth, but he seemed to feel nothing. He stared at Lu Yuan with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells and spoke hoarsely to him.

"What did you say?"

"The Forbidden City." Lu Yuan sighed, "I can't help it. After all, everyone likes to go there."

"No, wait a minute!" Zhui Ming immediately put down his teacup and reached out to stop him. He covered his head with one hand and said with some doubt about his life; "The top of the Forbidden City...Aren't Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue going to duel swords there?"

"That's right." Lu Yuan said as if it was a matter of course: "My opponents are the two of them."

The room instantly became quiet.

Zhui Ming looked Lu Yuan up and down with suspicion, as if he was seeing Lu Yuan for the first time.

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at him calmly.

It was not until this time that Zhui Ming realized that Lu Yuan’s strength was no longer what it used to be.

After a brief silence, he suddenly stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and said in a businesslike manner: "Take my token to the prison and take your friend away quickly.

Let’s just pretend we haven’t met today.”

"Brother Zhui Ming, you are too cruel." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

“Ruthless? I still have Iron Hands!” Zhui Ming could no longer remain calm, and whispered crazily, “Brother, do you know how busy I have been recently?

Do you know how many places I am responsible for?

Do you know how much I have to arrange for masters like you to compete in the capital?

Could you please stop causing trouble for me at this time?!

Let's keep things simple. Don't go and fight with swords. We are still friends."

"You're too late. I've already sent the challenge." Lu Yuan looked at Zhui Ming with some concern and said hesitantly, "Besides... there are more opponents than just them."

Zhui Ming’s expression froze instantly.

He looked at Lu Yuan who looked embarrassed, then at the door. After making sure that he could neither beat Lu Yuan nor escape, he simply slumped down on the chair, staring at the beams with lifeless eyes, and said nothing.

"Tell me, who else?"

"Not many." Lu Yuan said carefully: "Just one Lu Xiaofeng..."

Zhui Ming’s face turned pale and he looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"A Xie Xiaofeng..."

Zhui Ming immediately covered his chest, trying hard not to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"There is another Yan Nantian."

Lu Yuan patted Zhui Ming's shaking hands and said sincerely, "You must come on August 15th."

Zhui Ming swallowed his saliva, and after his brain worked rapidly for a while, he suddenly said seriously.

"Actually, I have a better idea."

"Appreciate further details."

"You can beat me up now, but just leave me alive." Zhui Ming said seriously: "Then you can go find the Lord of God."

"What do you mean?"

"Brother, what do you think of me?" Zhui Ming suddenly jumped up and said in despair, "That's right! People in the underworld call me one of the Four Great Detectives!

But don’t get it wrong, young man. They call me the famous detective, not the king!

When you gods are fighting, can you please not pick on a mortal like me? !

I take back what I said just now, let Shen Hou do this, it will be more prestigious for him to go than for me!"

"....What should we do now? I've already said it, they are probably on their way here." Lu Yuan spread his hands.

Zhui Ming almost choked and sat down on the chair dejectedly again. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "The only solution now is to go find the Divine Marquis."

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble." Lu Yuan said calmly, "We are here just to discuss swordplay, not to tear down the capital.

When we take action, we will naturally be careful about the extent of the situation."

"The key is... forget it, now that all of you are here, this matter has become crucial from inside to outside!" Zhui Ming sighed helplessly.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do you like to fight on top of the Forbidden City?"

"I passed by and took a look when I came here." Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Maybe it's because he's conspicuous enough."

"...May I ask all the heroes, when you were considering the location, did you not consider the face of our emperor?" Zhui Ming was somewhat speechless, "After all, that is the imperial city of Ming!"

"I haven't really thought about that." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "In my eyes, the emperor is no different from ordinary people except that he is a little difficult to kill."

"..."

Zhui Ming was speechless, so he stood up and walked to the door, bowed with great humility and said, "My dear hero, why don't we go to the prison and talk.

It's quiet, you can say whatever you want.

Please be considerate of your brothers.

It’s not easy for brothers to eat the royal food…”
