Chu Heng hurriedly stood up: "Master, I'm so upset, it's Chu Heng who came to the imperial capital, and Ji Wuyue has been in Lishan all the time."

Qi Feng smiled, and called him by his nickname "A Yue" again. Chu Heng nodded and sat down in front of the window, his expression still sleepy.

Qi Feng walked to a chair beside him and sat down, seeing this, he couldn't help asking: "But you encountered a difficult matter in the palace?"

Chu Heng shook his head and rubbed the center of his brows: "No, there are not many things in front of the imperial court, most of my colleagues are kind, and your majesty has always..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the Jingcheng Palace again, and his mood that had calmed down a little was suddenly aroused again, and the corners of his brows and eyes were downcast.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Qi Feng couldn't ask any more questions. Wen Yan said a few words of relief, and then he said with concern: "You just went to the Hall of Martial Heroes when you arrived in the imperial capital. I have a chance to ask you, are you not angry with others in the Hall of Martial Heroes?"

Chu Heng smiled slightly when he heard the words: "No, didn't the master send a letter to the Hall of Martial Arts? Before I left, the letter of Lishan's backing had already been sent to Commander Xie's case. So quickly This action is the news from Master Uncle to Master, right?"

Qi Feng smiled, and looked at Chu Heng with kindness: "You have a lot of inconvenience coming to the imperial capital. It's okay to interfere with Lishan in Zhongpinghou's mansion. I can't let you suffer wronged in the Wuying Hall."

Chu Heng's heart warmed up.

The laws of the Dayin Kingdom clearly stipulate that Mahayana must obtain an order before entering the imperial capital.Lishan Dongjun Ji Wuyue should not have set foot in the imperial capital, nor would it be convenient.

Chu Heng's trip was not out of Lishan Dongjun's standpoint, but he had Chu Xin and Chu Yan in mind, and wanted to go back to the Hou's mansion.

Before he came here, he had suppressed the world and sealed his bones, and maintained his martial arts at the level of entry.

This is not only in line with the impression in everyone's memory of "extremely weak, unable to learn martial arts", but also makes it easier for him to act in the imperial capital without being seen through by top experts and causing trouble for Lishan and himself.

"There are many masters in the imperial palace, you have not been seen by anyone in front of the imperial court, have you?"

Chu Heng thought for a while, and Qi Feng said: "Except for the troublesome Ling Qi, the leader of the Son of Heaven's Shadow Guard, everyone else is fine. But there is nothing on weekdays. I rest on the sixth day, and I happen to be able to avoid the sixteenth day."

The pressure to seal the bones is not without trace, every month on the [-]th day, Chu Heng will return to the Mahayana.It was unexpected that he would enter the Hall of Martial Heroes when he came to the imperial capital this time, but his realm was too high, and no one could tell that he deliberately restrained himself in the guard camp.But by chance, he was transferred to the imperial court again, so he couldn't be careless anymore.

After hearing this, Qi Feng frowned, his expression became more solemn, and he said to Chu Heng in a deep voice: "Ah Yue, there is something that my uncle has not had time to tell you. You have not been in the imperial capital since you were young, and those in the gentry circle in the capital know each other well. It's different from the children of your family, others know too little about you, so once you come into the eyes of everyone, you will immediately become the object of open and secret investigation."

"Now that you have been selected as the emperor, all the families in Kyushu will definitely check you carefully. Your master blocked you a little in Lishan, but it is inevitable that there will still be fish that slip through the net, and the people who checked you , and those in the palace are indispensable."

Hearing this, Chu Heng sat up straight and frowned, feeling uneasy for no reason, always feeling that something would happen.He knew that open investigation and unannounced visits were indispensable, and it was fine to only investigate "Chu Heng", but he was afraid that if something went wrong, it might be troublesome to investigate "Ji Wuyue" together.

He has always had two Taoist documents in Lishan.One is Chu Heng on the bright side, who learned from Mu Xiyun, the master of the astrology pavilion in Lishan Mountain, and is a well-known "vase" in Lishan Mountain; Mahayana Dongjun.

If the investigators are only from the aristocratic families of Kyushu, there is no need to worry too much, but the emperor's swordsman, the emperor's shadow guard...

Chu Heng's heart sank slightly.

Seeing that he frowned and didn't speak for a while, Qi Feng said with relief, "I'm just telling you about this, just to let you be more careful in the palace. Your master is the master of Dongdu, he didn't have a good time, Your identity will not be found out easily. Neither your background nor your talent match, and further investigations will only stop at Lishan Mountain Junji Wuyue and your mother are of the same clan."

Chu Heng let out a "hmm", but his frowning eyebrows still did not relax.

Seeing this, Qi Feng turned around and said: "You are in the imperial capital, and now you are sticking in the eye sockets of everyone. There are many open and hidden arrows in all directions, so we must guard against it. Did Ban Mengtan bring it?"

Chu Heng shook his head lightly: "When I came from Lishan Mountain, the medicine was still weak, but now it's almost time for the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, and my wife will come to the imperial capital and bring Ban Mengtan along. I don't have much time to go out of the palace. It’s still manageable, there’s nothing I have to do for the time being. In case something changes during this time, there’s Lingyu, my companion.”

Qi Feng nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

It was getting late, Qi Feng got up and left after finishing his business.After Chu Heng sent him off, he stood alone in front of the window. When the window lattice was opened, the cold wind came oncoming.

The night was very quiet, and the pictures in the Jingcheng Palace came to mind again. He tried his best to calm down and think for a while, but he couldn't figure out where these emotions came from. On the contrary, the more he thought about it, the anger in his heart gradually disappeared. There are signs of burning again.

He closed the window a little irritably, and buried himself in the quilt between the beds as if venting.

Under the same night sky, there is always someone who can think of one place.

At that time, in the Jingcheng Hall of the Imperial City, Ling Ye had finished dealing with the matter of summoning the courtiers tomorrow, and was about to go back to the bedroom to rest. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the high-ranking bandit standing beside him, hesitating to speak.He turned his head and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Gao thought of the rumors about how Chu Heng was honed in front of the emperor that the emperor secretly asked him to spread a few days ago, he hesitated for a while and said: "I forgot to report something to Your Majesty. This evening, Chu Shimo once came However, there should be something to face the saint."

Ling Ye's heart moved, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you see the pass?"

Eunuch Gao: "It so happened that His Majesty was talking to Mr. Su Lang, and Chu Shimo waited outside for a while, then left. It shouldn't be an important matter."

Ling Ye nodded: "I'll ask him when he comes over tomorrow morning."

Bandit Gao heard the words, with a troubled look on his face: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the sixth day of the lunar new year, and we are talking about Chu servant Mo Xiumu."

Ling Ye's hand that put down the pen paused, and his eyebrows furrowed instantly: "Aren't you coming tomorrow?"

Bandit Gao trembled when he heard the sound, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes, every Saturday, Mo Xiumu, the imperial servant."

Ling Ye looked a little unhappy, he put down his pen and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long while, he only gave a faint "hmm".Seeing him contemplating, Zhang Dian didn't dare to disturb him any more, bowed his head and stepped aside.

At dawn the next day, Chu Heng had just had breakfast, and Yun Fei arrived outside Luyuan on time.

At noon yesterday in the Hall of Martial Arts, Yun Fei learned that Chu Heng was taking a rest today, so he invited him to visit the Mingzheng Martial Arts Hall.

Yun Fei was probably still blaming himself for the fact that Chu Heng was recorded by His Majesty with twenty sticks. Later, he heard rumors that Chu Heng had suffered all kinds of hardships in front of the imperial court. Inviting him to a banquet at Sishi Shiju should be an apology.

He was very sincere when he invited him, Chu Heng could not tell him the truth about himself in front of the imperial court, so he agreed.

When Chu Heng came out of the dew garden, his face was a little upset, Yun Fei asked a few words, Chu Heng only said that he didn't have a good rest last night, Yun Fei talked with him about some new things in the imperial capital to refresh himself.

In this way, it is not boring along the way.

Mingzheng Martial Arts Hall is located on the long street at the junction of the inner and outer cities of the imperial capital. It is affiliated to the Hall of Martial Arts and is a martial arts gym hosted by the government. Every day, six emperor guards who work in the Hall of Martial Arts come here to discuss their skills with other warriors.

Mingzheng does not judge heroes based on their origins, but only on their ability. Therefore, they are highly respected by people in the martial arts in Beijing and China. Warriors love this place when they watch swords and martial arts.

When Chu Heng came back here, when he entered the door, he saw the words "Ming Tang Zheng Dao" engraved on the plaque in the hall, written in gold powder, it was elegant and dignified, and he recognized it as the current imperial pen at first sight.

He couldn't help but move.

The two of them came from the open garden outside the city, and it was almost late when they arrived at the martial arts hall. There were two groups of people standing on the left and right sides of the big martial arts arena in the center, and they were martial artists who were going to compete in public later.

In Mingzheng martial arts competitions, the word "bright and aboveboard" is the most valued, because they are all people of the same way to discuss their skills, so the martial arts competitions are all closed, and serious injuries to others are never allowed.Once someone loses the meaning of exchanging ideas, the emperor Jinwei who was in charge of the martial arts gym that day will immediately stop it.

It is precisely because of such rules that Mingzheng Martial Arts Hall is a place where everyone in the Hall of Martial Arts must come to take turns.

Chu Heng was no exception, but he was in a special situation, and he was a bit... unable to take action, so Xie Chu had no choice but to let the matter go.

Just as Chu Heng and Yun Fei entered the martial arts hall, Lu Ji, who was standing on the high platform on the second floor, saw them at a glance, and immediately waved his hand to signal them to come over.

Today's martial arts competition is really worth watching. The Mingzheng Martial Arts Hall released the news a few days ago that the few people who competed on the same stage on the sixth day of junior high school were all top-notch masters. The stands were also full of people.

It just so happened that Yunfei was supposed to be here today, so he set off for Chu Heng in Luyuan early in the morning, and asked Lu Ji, who was on duty on the same day, to help them occupy a good position in advance.

Chu Heng followed Yun Fei up to the second floor, and the waiters in the martial arts hall quickly brought tea and various fruits.

After Yun Fei settled Chu Heng, he hastily beckoned to the waiter holding a famous card, ready to place a bet. He was still wearing a brocade robe, and hurried down to change into a military uniform.

The two warriors in the first competition had already stood on the stage, one was at the peak of Li Consciousness Realm, and the other had jumped into a higher level of Spirit Void Realm.

Yun Fei and Lu Ji didn't bet on the same side without hesitation, turned around and looked at Chu Heng excitedly: "Hurry up, bet on the right side of this game, and give it away for nothing..."

Chu Heng raised his eyes absently and glanced at the competition stage, but bet on the opposite left side.Yun Fei's eyes widened, and before he could stop him, Chu Heng had already handed over the name card for betting.

Yun Fei immediately became anxious: "Hey, why did you bet on the left, the two sides are far behind! This is a big loss..."

Lu Ji wailed directly: "Qian—"

Chu Heng's hand holding the teacup trembled for a moment. Hearing this, he glanced at the stage again. It is true that the level on the right is higher, but the one on the left has a special way of practicing martial arts, and his inner strength is particularly strong. Such people often have cross-border attacks and kills. Ability.

Chu Heng knew that he was not mistaken, but it was difficult to explain how he could see the vase of "learning martial arts", so he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I think the person on the left is taller, and it should be stronger... ..."

"..."

Lu Ji was dumbfounded.

Yun Fei was speechless immediately.But if the bet remains unchanged, Chu Heng can only lose.He felt very sorry for the silver, and before he went to change his clothes, he tugged on Chu Heng's sleeve and confessed bitterly that he must wait for him to come over for the next game, and bet with him, and he will win for sure.

Chu Heng hummed twice, and nodded in agreement.

Once Yun Fei and Lu Ji left, Chu Heng was the only one left in the pavilion.The two sides on the competition stage have already exchanged salutes, and the fight is about to start.

Having nothing to do left and right, Chu Heng put down the teacup, walked to the stand in front of the pavilion with a wider view, and leaned on the railing to watch the competition.

He just found a place to stand still, when he heard a particularly contemptuous voice from the corridor: "Are you Chu Heng?"
