That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 588
Imperial City.

The man in a black imperial robe was accompanied by Zhang Baisui, the eunuch with the palm seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, to the Tongxiantai. Just as Xu Beiyou speculated, standing here can indeed overlook the Ming Tomb of Meishan.

In the past dynasties, the first important thing for every emperor after he ascended the throne was to build his own mausoleum. The shortest time was four or five years, and the longest time was more than ten years, or even decades. It took about ten years, and Xiao Xuan's own mausoleum was completed in the 15th year of Taiping, and it will be officially opened only after one of the emperor and queen takes the first step.

At this time, there was already a person standing on the Tongxian Terrace, dressed in a gorgeous unicorn suit, and it was Zhao Wuji, the governor of Tiance Mansion, one of the three first-rank military officers in the court.

Zhao Wou-ki slightly bowed and cupped his fists, "Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be too polite, and then asked, "The identities of those people have been confirmed?"

Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao personally took action this time, there is no doubt that it is a thief from the Ghost Palace."

The emperor hummed, expressionless.

Not long after, two more people boarded Tongxiantai.

One of them wore black gauze on his head, soap boots on his feet, and a black wide-sleeved flying fish uniform with a tiger-headed jade belt around his waist.

The other person was dressed almost the same as Fu Zhongtian, but changed into a narrow-sleeved flying fish suit, which made him look taller and taller. He was no one else, Wei Wuji, the right governor of the Dark Guard Mansion.

After the two of them boarded the Tongxian Terrace, before they could salute, His Majesty the Emperor had already waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be overly polite, and asked directly, "Have you ever found out the identity of that person?"

Fu Zhongtian and Wei Wuji looked at each other, Fu Zhongtian took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are already some clues. If my servant's prediction is correct, this person should be the Khan King of the Grassland."

"Lin Han?" Xiao Xuan chuckled lightly, and said with incomprehensible meaning: "This uncle of mine has come to the imperial capital secretly?"

Fu Zhongtian said solemnly: "Yes."

His Majesty the Emperor restrained his smile and asked the three important ministers in front of him, "If I want this uncle to stay in the imperial capital for a longer time, how sure are you?"

A first-rank military officer, two junior first-rank military officers, all three were silent for a while, and finally Zhao Wuji took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, there are two personal guards, Qingchen and Murong Xuanyin, unless they are Taoist sect masters. The real person Qiu Ye personally takes action, or His Majesty mobilizes the army to besiege, otherwise it will be very difficult to be sure to keep the grassland Khan King."

Xiao Xuan seemed to have expected this long ago, and said indifferently: "If these two people join hands sincerely, even if Qiu Ye is willing to do it himself, he may not be fully sure. By the way, how is the Dao Sect going?"

Zhang Baisui, who hadn't spoken all the time, said: "Although the battle for the head disciple is still going on, some of the masters of the halls have already left Xuandu."

His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a while, and said slowly: "According to the summary of intelligence from all parties, the battle we will face this time is not small, and this is only the part that is on the surface, plus those hidden under the water. Hands, don't be careless."

Zhang Baisui, Zhao Wuji, Fu Zhongtian and Wei Wuji agreed in unison.

Wei Wuji said softly: "Your Majesty, the Buddhist sect has always been closely related to the Northeast Mu clan, and they often work hand in hand with the Taoist sect. They are double-faced and three-handed. It is also necessary to guard against."

The emperor waved his sleeve casually, nodded and said, "Wei Wuji is right, I have my own concerns about this matter."

Wei Wuji lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.

It is not a new thing for several major sects to intervene in the secular world of temples. It can be seen from the ten years of competition in those years. Now, whether it is King Wei or King Khan of the Grassland, there are also shadows of practicing sects behind them, and even on the surface they are extremely respectful to the court. The same is true for the King of Liao. The reason why the imperial court tolerated a king with a different surname to sit in Liaodong for so many years is not unrelated to the Buddhism standing behind Mu, apart from the fact that the Mu family has deep roots in the three northeast states.

Even if Xiao Xuan is the king of the emperor and the king of the world, he has to admit that a sect that ranks among the "Three Religions", the deterrent power brought by its profound background, is enough to make the entire Daqi court afraid.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been three emperors who destroyed Buddhism, but today, the three emperors and their dynasties have been wiped out by wind and rain, and the Buddhist gate is still the one that stands still, even though it has been changed several times in a row. It is in the ancestral court, but it is still enshrined by thousands of incense.

At this moment, on this clear winter day, a thunderstorm suddenly exploded.

The five monarchs and ministers all turned their heads to look.

His Majesty the Emperor stopped talking about the business, but said a digression, "I remember that girl Zhinan mentioned that Qi Xianyun is going to challenge Xu Beiyou today."

The three top military officers did not speak, only Zhang Baisui said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Qi Xianyun made an appointment to fight Xu Beiyou at the Dragon King Terrace. Prime Minister Lan, Prime Minister Han, Governor Duanmu, Governor Duanmu and all the princes all went to watch the battle. Look at this posture. There must have been a fight."

His Majesty the Emperor hummed, and said with a light smile, "The little Taoist girl doesn't know the seriousness, and I'm afraid she's going to bring herself to humiliate herself."

Dragon King Terrace.

The thunder came crashing down.

It seems that a catastrophe is imminent, so what if you are in the realm of immortality?
Xu Beiyou did not dodge, dodge or give way, facing the billowing thunder, he raised Xuanming in his hand.

It is exactly the same as Master Gongsun Zhongmou holding Xuanming back then.

He said silently in his heart, "Sword Thirteen."

The pitch-black Xuanming sword exudes a deep luster.

Xu Beiyou handed Xuanming up lightly.

A mighty and majestic sword energy went up against the current and went straight to the sky.

The sky thunder was directly divided into two, and it had slowly dissipated between the sky and the earth before it landed.

Even the thick dark clouds in the sky were separated by the soaring sword energy, revealing a ray of blue sky.

It is spectacular to see the sun behind the clouds.

Not to mention the onlookers around, even the young talents were dumbfounded. Mr. Xu's swordsmanship is so domineering to this extent?
That was a brilliant sky thunder.

It doesn't make sense at all, just cut it with a sword.

More importantly, everyone knows that Xu Beiyou possesses many famous swords of the sword sect, but so far, even with Tian Lan, he has only used two swords.

Qi Xianyun's figure appeared above the sky, his face was watery, and he did not continue to move.

Jiuxiaolei was already her strongest opponent, but in the end Xu Beiyou took it lightly, and if he tried to force it again, he would be humiliating himself.

Xu Beiyou put Xuanming on the ground in his hand, put his right hand on the head of the sword, and put the other hand behind his back, showing the demeanor of Yue Zhiyuan that a master should have.

Now, except Lan Yu and a few others, the rest of the people have a question in their hearts, what kind of state is this Mr. Xu?When he first entered the imperial capital, he should have been only around the sixth floor of the Earth Immortal. After the battle with Zhou Tong, his vitality was seriously injured, and it would not be surprising even if he fell to the fourth floor of the Earth Immortal. The vitality is greatly injured, but the realm is still better than when he first entered the imperial capital. In other words, Xu Beiyou has broken through the realm again. He may be the Seventh Floor of the Earth Immortal, or even an even more shocking Earth Immortal. The realm of eight layers of buildings.

Otherwise, Qi Xianyun would not have been defeated so thoroughly, and he hardly had much power to resist.

Xu Beiyou looked around and said with a smile: "This time, the Dragon King Terrace's 'discussion' is based on the Biluohu discussion in the past, so how can only one person be enough? I heard that you and Xu are on the top of the list of secrets, How about coming to the stage to show off your skills?"
