When Qin Wei noticed something unusual in the direction of the imperial city, he said to Ji Yuanchen: "Sir, should you watch the show here, or should you go forward and watch the show."
"Come forward!" Ji Yuanchen hesitated.
Although he is a Confucian scholar, he is only a Confucian scholar, and he is also an old and frail Confucian scholar, with basically no fighting ability at all.
"I won't disturb His Highness's pleasure. I'd better stay here."
After thinking about it, he still refused. He also understood that Qin Wei wanted to go and have a look, but he would become a drag on Qin Wei in the past.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "Then I will take the first step. In a few days, I will invite the chief minister to drink tea."
"I would like to send you your royal highness!"
Ji Yuanchen did not reject Qin Wei's invitation again. As smart as he was, he already understood three points of Qin Wei's extraordinary qualities. As for the remaining ninety-seven points, he would not be able to understand it for a while.
But the more he couldn't see through it, the more he understood how extraordinary Qin Wei was.
Qin Wei nodded, then waved and walked down the pavilion.
On the first floor of the pavilion, more than a dozen dead soldiers were scattered around. Although Qin Wei only brought three or two people with him when he came, in fact, Shi Luan and dozens of dead soldiers came with him.
"Where are the clothes!"
Qin Wei asked Lu Qingfeng next to him.
At this time, Lu Qingfeng was wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat, with his gray beard hidden under the collar.
Lu Qingfeng waved, and two dead soldiers brought a set of black costumes.
Qin Weili quickly changed his clothes, put on a black gauze hat on his head, and even wore a half-covered mask on his face.
There is no way, his identity is too sensitive, especially since he is going to the imperial city next. If he doesn't hide his face well, it will be troublesome for him to be recognized.
After carefully checking and finding no loopholes, Qin Wei took Lu Qingfeng to leave the Incense Pavilion and leap towards the imperial city.
As for Xiao Shunzi, Shi Shi and others, they all returned to their previous homes.
Although their cultivation is good, they can't help much in this battle.
After several leaps, Qin Wei and Lu Qingfeng arrived outside the city wall on the east side of the imperial city.
At this time, many Tianwu guards gathered on the city wall, staring at the Sheng'an Gate on the south side with their swords drawn.
Since the imperial city of Dali is called a "city", it means that it is very big.
Within the imperial city, there are not only the Shengtian Hall where Emperor Li handles government affairs, but also the Wenhua Hall where the cabinet is located, the Yingwu Hall where the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion handles military affairs, and the twenty-four yamen for internal officials, etc.
This is only the front city, there are three palaces and six courtyards in the harem, but there are very few concubines. After all, Emperor Li is already old.
Qin Wei and Lu Qingfeng looked at each other, then flew up directly, crossing the eight or nine feet high city wall like two flying giants.
However, they did not approach Shengtian Palace, but came to Wenhua Palace.
Standing on the roof inconspicuously, the two of them hid in the library of Wenhua Hall, and could just observe Shengtian Hall and Sheng'an Gate through the window.
They arrived just in time. Qin Wei had just found a chair and sat in front of the window when he saw figures leaping over from the city wall.
"The thief is so bold that he dares to break into the forbidden area of the imperial city! He deserves to be killed!"
A cold shout suddenly sounded in the air above the chilly Imperial Dynasty.
The next moment.
The Tianwu guards on the city wall jumped off the city wall in groups.
Fighting with the thieves who flew into the imperial city.
Qin Wei glanced at them and saw that there were hundreds of thieves coming in from the west alone. All of them had extraordinary cultivation. They were all seventh-grade warriors or above. Otherwise, they would not have been able to leap directly over the city wall.
However, the strength of the Tianwu Guards officers is also very extraordinary. They are not ordinary soldiers, they are elite soldiers selected from the millions of troops in the entire Dali.
Without a fifth-grade cultivation level, you are absolutely not qualified to enter the Tianwu Guard. And you must not only have a fifth-grade cultivation level, but also have meritorious service on the battlefield, have a clean background, and go through layers of selection before you can enter the Tianwu Guard.
According to Qin Wei's understanding, the first condition for Tianwu Guards to select soldiers is a clean background, the second condition is cultivation, and the third condition is that once you join the Tianwu Guards, you are not allowed to leave for life. You will be a member of Tianwu Guards for the rest of your life, even if you are old.
He will stay in Tianwuwei's military camp for the rest of his life.
Tianwuwei's family lives in Fangshi behind the imperial city, and their descendants will receive royal care.
Starting from the first generation of Tianwuwei, Tianwuwei has basically formed a system that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the prerequisite for passing it on from generation to generation is that it meets the requirements of Tianwuwei.
Therefore, no one in the Tianwu Guard is from a noble family or an official family, and even the royal family is prohibited from entering the Tianwu Guard.
If the order taker is the sharp knife in the hands of Emperor Li, then the military guard that day was the shield in Emperor Li's hands.
This sword and shield are the Li Huang's safety guarantee.
Looking at the Tianwu Guards and the thieves who were already fighting together, Qin Wei suddenly realized that there seemed to be something unusual about the Tianwu Guards.
The organization of the Tianwu Guard is different from that of most of Dali's armies. The Tianwu Guard consists of a team of nine people, three small teams of one banner, and three small banners of one hundred households.
In the three-three system, the enemy is fought in units of three people, three groups, three squads, etc.
The soldiers cooperated extremely well and seemed to always follow some special rules.
Basically, three soldiers can compete with a thief with a seventh-grade cultivation level.
"What's going on?" Qin Wei asked in surprise.
Lu Qingfeng next to him said in a low voice: "That is the Tianwu Army Formation of the Tianwu Guards!"
"Military formation!" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows. He knew about military formation, but he had only heard of it. He didn't know what it was specifically.
"Well, the Tianwu Military Formation is also called the Three Talents Fusion Military Formation. It is based on the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The three and three are fused to condense Qi and gather strength. It is said that the fully formed Tianwu Guards can fight against ten innate masters." Lu Qingfeng explained.
road.
As the great elder of Qi Yuan Sect in the hermit holy land, Lu Qingfeng knows more about many things hidden under the surface than Qin Wei.
He also understood key things like military formations.
However, he only understood that Qi Yuan Sect did not have a real military formation inheritance.
Qin Wei nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. He knew without asking that this military formation must be a secret of the royal family. Except for Emperor Li and Tianwu Guard, probably few people knew what it was about.
Perhaps when he ascends to the position of Emperor Li, he will know what the Tianwu Army Formation is.
…
Within the imperial city.
The battle began to spread like a fire.
But within a moment, the first half of the imperial city was filled with the noise of battle.
As for the harem, it was extremely quiet.
No one cares about the harem, not even Emperor Li.
Those concubines he liked have long since been worn away by time. Today, Dali is no longer a queen, not even a concubine. There are only a few concubines left to preside over the operation of the harem.
The fighting around Shengtian Palace was noisy, but there was no fighting in the square in front of Shengtian Palace. Thousands of Tianwu guards always maintained a vigilant posture and did not interfere in the surrounding fighting.
But at some unknown time, several figures appeared under Sheng'an's gate. They looked at Ju Landao and the others on the gate.
Qin Wei was sitting in front of the window of the library in Wenhua Hall, where he could clearly see the entire square.
When he saw those figures, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Why is Your Highness laughing?" Lu Qingfeng was a little confused.
"It's okay, I just saw an acquaintance." Qin Wei said.
"acquaintance!"
Lu Qingfeng glanced at the figures and nodded.
He thought that Qin Wei knew those innate warriors. After all, Qin Wei was the grandson of Dali, so it was normal for him to know the innate warriors of Qing Fushan.
But in fact, Qin Wei only knew three innate warriors on Qingfu Mountain, one was Li Xun, one was Mo Yan, and the remaining one was Ye Gucheng.
He has never even met Yan Zhen.
Among the people in the square in front of them, Ye Gucheng was among them.
Qin Wei felt very happy to see Ye Gucheng again.
…
At the Sheng'an Gate.
Ju Landao's sharp eyes looked through the black gauze in front of him at the people below.
"Deal with them first!"
"Haha, you don't need Master Ju to deal with them. We are enough."
Next to him, a burly figure said in a thick voice.
Ju Landao shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate them. Dali has a population of hundreds of millions. Geniuses emerge in large numbers and there are countless strong men. Qingfu Mountain is also the place where Dali Chaotang is enshrined. There are many masters hidden there.
I don’t know the geometry.”
"We don't have much time, and we only have one chance. Don't underestimate the enemy."
When several people around him heard this, they all nodded.
They all know how hard-won this opportunity is.
In order to ensure that they could enter the imperial city and to minimize the number of opponents they had to face, they spent several years and countless energy and resources to complete this layout.
First, they linked up with the Rong tribe in the north to invade Dali, and then they put plague poison on the four major city guards. Then they exposed Yu Qingzhou and the others, and they also united with many forces in Kyoto. The purpose of doing all this was to control the emperor as much as possible.
The innate masters in the city and Qingfu Mountain led him away.
Their plan seems to be successful, but the situation they face is still not to be underestimated.
"Don't waste any more time, let's do it!" Ju Landao said coldly.
The next moment.
He jumped up and the sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed.
In the flash of sword light, he had appeared in the square.
The long sword stabs with the sharpness of the sword and the thickness of the knife.
Sharp and powerful.
When the sword struck, several people in the square immediately became nervous.
Ju Lan Dao is not an ordinary person. Although they are all innate warriors, they still feel a lot of pressure when facing Ju Lan Dao.
Ye Gucheng among the few people looked at the snow-white sword light, and his eyes suddenly bloomed with brilliant light.
The full moon was in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell on his shoulders.
Ye Gucheng's face always looked cold, aloof and lonely.
But when he saw Ju Landao's sword, another smile appeared on his face.
A very, very weak smile.
With an expectant smile.
The snow-white clothes floated in the air, and the snow-white sword edge suddenly appeared.
For some reason, that touch of snow-white was actually dazzling.
All the innate warriors around were stabbed.
bite!
The two swords touched, sword tip to sword tip, sword edge to sword edge.
A sudden burst of sound seemed to resound in everyone's hearts.
Ju Landao looked at Ye Gucheng in front of him in astonishment.
He saw Ye Gucheng's aloofness and also saw Ye Gucheng's expectations.
"Dali Sword Saint Ye Gucheng!"
He held up the long sword, and his body seemed to be growing on the ground, refusing to give an inch.
Although Ye Gucheng has rarely appeared in public since joining Qingfushan, the rumors about Ye Gucheng inside and outside Dali have never stopped.
After defeating Situ Changkong, the title of Sword Master Dali was placed on Ye Gucheng's head.
No one will ignore his existence, just like no one has dared to underestimate Situ Changkong before.
Ye Gucheng looked at the sword in his hand, looked at the sword in Ju Landao's hand, and looked at Ju Landao.
"Your swordsmanship is impure!"
Ju Landao was startled. He had expected to meet Ye Gucheng here. After all, Ye Gucheng was now considered one of the top masters in Dali.
But he never thought that the first thing Ye Gucheng said to him was to comment on his swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship is indeed impure, because he still has swordsmanship.
Being compatible with swords is his characteristic and also his way of cultivation.
"So what if it's not pure?"
“You can’t go to the extreme without being pure!”
"Extreme! Where does perfection come from in this world?"
Ye Gucheng shook his head slightly, there are many extremes in this world, but the extreme is not the end.
An ordinary sword move has its ultimate. Maybe this move is not very lethal, or even impractical, but it still has its ultimate.
The way of cultivation may have a higher realm and a higher level, but the three innate realms still have their ultimate.
And the ultimate he talks about is the ultimate that can be achieved by the three innate realms.
But obviously Ju Landao doesn't think this is the ultimate.
"Since you are learning swordsmanship, you should pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship. Being compatible with swordsmanship may seem powerful, but you have lost the pursuit of swordsmanship."
"Or you can pursue the ultimate in the art of swordsmanship, but unfortunately you can't do either now!"
It was rare for Ye Gucheng to say so many words.
Perhaps he could only be interested in talking when it was about kendo.
Ju Landao sneered, "That's a lot of nonsense, I'm going to break your swordsmanship today!"
The ways are different and they do not seek each other.
It's not enough to say anything speculative.
He could not understand Ye Gucheng's sword skills, just as Ye Gucheng was not optimistic about his sword compatibility.
Suddenly, there was a dragon roar and sword energy soared into the sky.
Ju Landao's sword thrust out again.
At the same time, Ye Gucheng's sword also thrust out.
The sword looked extremely pale in the moonlight, and the cold and arrogant face also looked extremely pale under the light of the sword.
The starlight and moonlight faded, and all the brilliance between heaven and earth seemed to be concentrated on the two swords.
bite!
The crisp touching sound sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of the two people moved quickly.
The sound of continuous touches sounded like a piano sound with a murderous aura.
After being stunned for a while, everyone around them also started fighting together.
Soldier against soldier, against general!
One innate realm versus one innate realm, three innate realms versus three innate realms.
