There are only six ribbons, but there are more than six people who want to watch the fight. There are probably not 600 or 6,000 people in the entire arena who want to watch the fight.
So six ribbons were naturally not enough. Lu Xiaofeng almost stayed up all night because of this matter. She thought repeatedly about who should give the six ribbons to.
But this trouble disappeared the next day.
The next day, Lu Xiaofeng, who had not slept all night, was awakened by a fierce knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Wei Ziyun. However, Wei Ziyun had a sinister look on his face at this time, which made Lu Xiaofeng a little confused.
Yesterday I was thrown a hot potato, and today I am going to burn bridges? This is really unreasonable.
However, Wei Ziyun obviously didn't care about Lu Xiaofeng's face. Instead, he said eagerly: "Where is the ribbon?"
"The ribbon is here. I haven't decided who to give it to yet."
Wei Ziyun ignored what Lu Xiaofeng said and directly grabbed the ribbon, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
Lu Xiaofeng noticed that he was carefully checking the quality of each ribbon. He had said before that the material of these ribbons was extremely special and difficult to imitate.
After carefully inspecting all the ribbons, Wei Ziyun returned the ribbons to Lu Xiaofeng.
"Now you don't have to worry about who to give the ribbon to."
Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Wei Ziyun said: "That's what it means literally. You'll know when you go out and take a look." There was an indescribable helplessness in his words.
Lu Xiaofeng was really curious, so she decisively used Qinggong and jumped out of the yard and landed on the street. At first, Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice any difference.
But soon, he frowned because a man from the world was walking towards him with a ribbon tied around his waist. At a glance, Lu Xiaofeng saw that the ribbon was almost exactly the same as his own.
His heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what Wei Ziyun meant.
The two passed each other, and Lu Xiaofeng raised his right hand, and there was an extra ribbon between the two fingers. He took out the ribbon on his body and compared it. Then he was surprised to find that the two ribbons were exactly the same.
Can't tell true from false.
The greatest anti-counterfeiting ability of a ribbon lies in its special material. But the two ribbons in front of you are made of exactly the same material.
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned on the spot, and then he saw a scene that was even more disturbing to him. Another martial artist with a ribbon tied around his waist appeared in front of him.
The key is that Lu Xiaofeng doesn't know these two people at all. It can only be said that they are not celebrities in the martial arts world at all. But the ribbons on their bodies can't be more authentic.
At this time, Wei Ziyun appeared behind Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng asked without turning his head.
"How many have appeared in total?"
"I don't know. In the capital city alone, there are at least more than 700 items. There are two hundred and two items, but basically all the people in the world who can afford them have bought them. There will be more later."
"You just don't care?"
"Of course we took care of it. We immediately arrested five vendors who were selling privately. But it was of no use. We couldn't find the mastermind behind it. And after arresting those people, the number of ribbons continued to increase. What we did was basically meaningless.
.”
Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak for a long time. He actually felt a little tired. This matter was not only complicated, but also messy. It was so messy that Lu Xiaofeng didn't even know how many forces were involved in the rebellion.
He even had the idea of telling Wei Ziyun everything in front of him and then withdrawing himself. But saying that King Pingnan was trying to rebel was not a small matter.
Lu Xiaofeng had a good reputation in the world, but after all, he was just a commoner. If he said such words, it would be impossible to take them back. Without complete certainty and evidence, in the end he could only be executed by the emperor's order.
In fact, the biggest problem that troubled Lu Xiaofeng was that he never knew exactly what method King Pingnan wanted to use to rebel. This was also the reason why he could never find any evidence.
He was even sure that there was something wrong with the so-called competition at the top of the Forbidden City. But he didn't know where the problem lay. He knew a lot of things, but he didn't know even more. This gave him a feeling that the more he knew, the more he knew.
, the idea that I feel more ignorant.
Wei Ziyun left, and this time he did not make things difficult for Lu Xiaofeng. Because the situation was out of control at this time, he did not dare to continue to hide it, so he could only go to the palace to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision in person.
After Wei Ziyun left, Lu Xiaofeng even felt like throwing away the ribbon in her hand. But after thinking about it, she reluctantly put it away.
Just when Lu Xiaofeng was a little frustrated and was about to go back to drink, suddenly a strong wind hit her ears.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't even turn his head. He tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack from behind. At the same time, he reached out his right hand, spread it out with one finger of Lingxi, and clamped it towards the dagger that attacked him. However, what surprised him was that he actually
Failed.
Lu Xiaofeng's Ling Xi Finger is very famous, claiming to be able to clamp all weapons in the world. He himself does not really think that he can clamp all weapons. But except for a limited number of people, Lu Xiaofeng has never failed.
But this time, he missed. The key was that he was able to confirm that the person who came was not a few people he was familiar with, but a real stranger.
Both his height, body shape, and martial arts methods were completely unfamiliar to him. Lu Xiaofeng could feel that the other party had used real skills. That kind of swordsmanship was definitely an extremely powerful swordsmanship. But he himself had no impression of it.
It stands to reason that if there is a person with this kind of swordsmanship in the world, he should recognize him at a glance.
The opponent missed the target and immediately retreated. However, he did not completely retreat, but gave Lu Xiaofeng a meaningful look.
Lu Xiaofeng had an idea and immediately followed him. The opponent's light kung fu was very powerful, but Lu Xiaofeng could still keep up easily. As the opponent ran away, the doubts in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes became more and more serious. Because the opponent's direction turned out to be
Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Is the other party from Prince Pingnan's Mansion? Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. But she quickly gave up the idea because the other party did not enter Prince Pingnan's Mansion, but just flew past the roof next to it.
Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed slightly. But he knew that there were many masters in Prince Pingnan's palace, and even Ye Gucheng, the sword master, was in charge. He was really impatient if he dared to run away from here.
But what surprised him was that the two of them flew by without alerting the palace's masters.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked, and her doubts became more intense. There was only one possibility for this situation, that is, none of the masters in the palace were there. After all, the palace was popular. It was just that the top masters were missing.
The other party flew over the palace so unscrupulously, so he obviously knew the inside story. However, this result not only did not solve Lu Xiaofeng's doubts, but instead made him more confused. Who is this person, and what is his purpose?
And just as the two people were flying past, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly froze, and his feet stopped involuntarily. Because he saw an incredible scene through the window below.
That's the emperor?
The reason why Lu Xiaofeng thought this was because in the room below, there was a young man wearing a dragon robe. Every move he made seemed to be exactly the same as the emperor.
Lu Xiaofeng had actually entered the palace and met the emperor. However, due to his status, he could not meet Tianyan directly. So the meetings were done through a bead curtain. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng did not know the emperor's true appearance. But looking at the young man
His body movements are obviously exactly the same as those of the emperor.
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of lightning flashed across the sky in his mind. At this moment, he finally figured out Prince Pingnan's plan. They were indeed going to rebel. But it was different from the rebellion that ordinary people imagined. They would not raise an army.
, not to mention forced to have a baby.
They want to replace the emperor quietly.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly raised his head, only to find that the killer he was chasing had long since disappeared. At this time, Lu Xiaofeng still didn't understand. The other party's attack was not to kill him, but to lure him over.
Let yourself see this for yourself.
At this time, the 'Emperor' in the room turned around. Lu Xiaofeng also saw the other person's face clearly. That person was Prince Pingnan.
Lu Xiaofeng suppressed the surprise in her heart, turned around and left Pingnan Prince's Mansion quietly.
And just when Lu Xiaofeng thought she had discovered the truth.
Prince Pingnan, who was pretending to be the emperor and practicing his words and deeds, also encountered a strange thing. He found that there was an extra person in his room. But this person was very strange. He was wearing a big red cotton-padded jacket and a big beard.
This man looks ugly and weird.
What's even more weird is that this man is still embroidering. A man with a full face and a bright red cotton coat is sitting in his room embroidering. Prince Pingnan only feels that his whole body is a little bad. In modern terms
To put it simply, San is worth a lot.
However, Prince Pingnan did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He saw that the opponent appeared in his room easily without him noticing. He knew that the opponent's martial arts skills were far superior to his own.
He did not call the guards because he knew that the guards outside were of no use at all. The real masters in the house were all taken out by his father to deal with other matters.
Slowly pressing the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Prince Pingnan tried to resolve it with words.
"Do you know where this place is?"
The man stopped moving his hands, looked up at Prince Pingnan, and responded in a hoarse voice.
"I know this is Prince Pingnan's Mansion, and I even know that you are the Crown Prince of Pingnan. But since I have accepted the money, no matter who you are, you must die. I'm sorry, Crown Prince."
The sharp sword energy cut off the candles in the room, and the prince took action first. He extinguished the candles in the entire room, and then jumped towards the window.
But while he was in the air, he felt a sharp pain in his right eye. A sharp steel needle actually pierced his eye.
"Ah" the prince screamed, covered his eyes, and fell heavily in the yard.
This scream alerted the guards of the palace. Dozens of guards rushed in, but they saw the strange man shooting out more than a dozen steel needles with a flick of his finger.
The ground suddenly burst into wailing. The dozen or so guards at the front actually fell to the ground at the same time, covering their eyes.
"A bold murderer who dares to commit murder in the palace." came a rich voice. Jiang Chongwei, the official deputy general manager of the palace. Since Jin Jiuling came, his status has plummeted.
Fortunately, the palace recognized his loyalty for many years and still made him the deputy general manager. Jiang Chongwei burst into tears with gratitude and vowed to serve the palace to the death.
At this time, he shot out his palms, relying on his own horizontal kung fu to prepare to trade his life with the opponent.
But at this time, the man in red's expression changed and he quickly retreated. He avoided a flying copper coin. Just as Jiang Chongwei was about to attack, he saw an extra person in front of him. It was his replacement.
Chief Manager Jin Jiuling.
"Manager Jiang, the prince's safety is important. You take the prince away and leave this place to me."
Jiang Chongwei was actually a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that there was a high probability that he would not be a match for the man in red. Therefore, he still had no choice but to retreat. He followed a kind of bodyguard to escort the prince back.
On the other side, Jin Jiuling had also fought against the opponent. Jiang Chongwei was immediately convinced by this fight. Because he found that the martial arts of these two people were far superior to his. The horizontal kung fu that he was proud of was probably in
It's nothing in their eyes.
Jin Jiuling fought with the man in red for several rounds. He saw more and more guards in the yard. The man in red also turned around and fled. Jin Jiuling chased after him. The team behind them was quickly thrown away, and the trace of the two of them was lost.
.
After some tangled thinking, Lu Xiaofeng finally decided to expose the matter as soon as possible. No matter what conspiracy someone had, once it was revealed, it would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, he hurried to the Forbidden City. But it was already dark at this time, and he couldn't enter the capital at all. Fortunately, he was a gate guard and someone knew him. He knew that he had a good relationship with Wei Ziyun.
Wei Ziyun was the commander of the Ouchi guards and their immediate boss, so he reluctantly informed him.
But soon, the guard came back and told Lu Xiaofeng that Wei Ziyun was not there and seemed to have gone to Pingnan Prince's Mansion to deal with something.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. I just left Prince Pingnan's Mansion. Is there nothing important there?
You know, Wei Ziyun is the commander of the guards. At this time, it is generally impossible to leave Ouchi at will.
Lu Xiaofeng thought of the secret she had discovered and did not dare to hesitate. She turned around and rushed towards Prince Pingnan's Mansion.
As they ran all the way, they saw the Pingnan Palace full of people in the distance. It seemed like something big had happened. Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed a person who was watching the excitement and asked.
"What's going on? What happened to the palace?"
"Hey, I heard that there was an assassin. The prince was assassinated."
"The prince was assassinated. What happened? Is it serious?"
"Lu Xiaofeng, what are you doing here?" Wei Ziyun's voice came to her ears. Lu Xiaofeng hurried forward when she saw him.
"I heard that the crown prince was assassinated. What happened? Is it serious?"
"Hey, what a pity. It is said that the prince lost one of his eyes. The assassin's martial arts are so strong that he even alarmed the palace. Your Majesty specially sent me here to have a look. By the way, what are you doing here?"
