The first among the heavens begins with martial arts

Chapter 115
There was still one night and one day before the action, and Yang Zheng couldn't sit still. He always tried to be foolproof in his actions. If it wasn't for the frighteningly high level of this action, which made him unable to refuse, he would definitely not want to take on this burden.

Unable to fall asleep, he planned to go out for a walk.

After waking up a few confidantes, they came to the Forbidden City by night. Yang Zheng, as the only remaining grand master of the imperial court, was granted the right to freely enter and leave the palace city by Zhengde, so he went unimpeded all the way to the place where the decisive battle will be held. Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This is the largest palace in the Forbidden City, and it is also the place where the dynasty held major celebrations and sacrifices. The inside and outside of the main hall are decorated with thousands of golden dragon patterns, and ten ridge beasts are placed on the corners of the roof.

Three days ago, there was no one guarding here, only the figures of Yang Zheng and the others.

The others stayed outside the hall, while Yang Zheng walked into the hall.

Now the rare furniture and items inside and outside the hall have been evacuated, everything is empty, and the ground has been cleaned up, almost reflecting the shadows of people.

The building materials of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are extremely extravagant, and the six golden dragon pillars are painted with gold lacquer, which are shining and magnificent even at night.

Yang Zheng knew that with the destructive power of a demigod master, if he had intentions, the demolition would be completed in a short time. Even if the two sides could control the aftermath of the fight, it would inevitably cause damage to the hall, and this majestic and magnificent hall would inevitably suffer. Seriously injured.

However, the damage caused by the duel is completely incomparable to the damage caused by what the court is really going to do.

The head of the six gates jumped to the top of the hall and looked towards Jingshan not far away. He knew that there were already hundreds of heavy artillery ambushed there.

This man-made mountain is not called Jingshan now, but Longevity Mountain. There is a Wanchun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, which is the commanding height of the whole capital and the headquarters of the artillery battalion on the top of the mountain.

Yang Zheng's eyesight was very strong, but he couldn't see the pavilion several miles away in the dark night. He jumped down from the main hall and set off for Long Live Mountain.

The distance from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Longevity Mountain is very short. If it is too far away, the cannons will not be able to hit it. The Longevity Mountain is also the only place where you can observe and hit the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is condescending and has an advantage. Once the artillery is fired, it will definitely cause huge damage, so it is natural. The top priority of the sub-plan.

Yang Zheng went all the way up, and found that the cannons that had already been in place were covered with canvas and covered with mud camouflage, and it was impossible to find them without going close. He recognized the carefulness of the artillery battalion.

His sudden visit also surprised the commander of the artillery battalion, but before the two could say a few words, a messenger came down from the top of the mountain to call for the commander.

Yang Zheng also followed, he knew that his guess was right, his benefactor and immediate boss must also be unable to sleep, and came to Wanchun Pavilion.

The Wanchun Pavilion is much larger than ordinary pavilions, enough to accommodate dozens of people. An old man in a crimson official robe is staring at the Forbidden City in a daze.

The commander of the artillery battalion stepped forward to answer a few words with his benefactor, Mr. Yang Ge, and then retired respectfully. Yang Zheng took the opportunity to go forward and salute.

Yang Tinghe nodded, with a casual attitude, "Why are you here?"

Yang Zheng sat upright, and said respectfully: "Before I was dismissed from office, I monitored Lu Xiaofeng and found out that he was leaking secrets, so I captured the seventh son of the Hua family, and verified what Lu Xiaofeng said before. Wait for the idlers."

Yang Tinghe remained expressionless, but said in his mouth, "Is there any more?"

Yang Zheng originally wanted to advise, but thinking that he had said it clearly enough now, there was no need to overemphasize it, so he shook his head.

Yang Tinghe said lightly: "Well, I see."

Neither of them spoke. The silence lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Yang Zheng finally couldn't bear to speak.

"Enxiang, if it really doesn't work out this time, there will be civil strife in Ming Dynasty. Why is it so urgent?"

Yang Tinghe sighed, "I don't want to be so hasty, but we have no choice."

"The leader of the rebellious party is good at deceiving people's hearts. In less than a year, he was able to persuade so many great masters and demigods. If he tries to do it slowly, it may not be long before the country will change color."

Yang Zheng was speechless. An underground organization could sweep the world in such a short period of time, and the six sects responsible for arresting and investigating robbers had an inescapable responsibility.

Although the land in the south of the Yangtze River belongs to Jin Jiuling's jurisdiction, he is already dead. All the pressure has come to Yang Zheng. If Yang Tinghe hadn't saved him with all his strength, he would at least have lost his job and become a civilian now.

Yang Tinghe continued: "With the strength of the rebellious party, if we don't take advantage of the enemy's openness and surprise, the court will have no way to deal with them. This time is also the only chance. If we stop, we will not have such a good opportunity again. .”

Yang Zheng could only sigh, if it wasn't for Ye Gucheng's challenge, the court wouldn't even know that there was such a big mess in Jiangnan. The little emperor panicked and even wanted to transfer the border army to Jiangnan. Fortunately, Enxiang stopped this matter , otherwise the Central Plains should have been smashed into a pot of porridge by now.

Today's army is not as elite as it was when the country was founded. The military households are struggling and fleeing in large numbers, and the guards in the interior exist in name only. Only the frontier army and the forbidden army can be used.

For great masters and demigod warriors, unless they throw themselves into the trap, there is no possibility for the army to hurt them at all.

On the contrary, emperors and generals are always worried about being assassinated, and at least hundreds of soldiers travel with them, and they may still be taken advantage of by the enemy if they are not careful.

Yang Zheng recalled the information about the Order of the Phoenix on his desk, and said hesitantly: "With the performance of the Order of the Phoenix, it seems that they really have no intention of usurping power. and pure goodness."

Right and wrong aside, Yang Zheng has a good impression of Qian Heng. He has also read the records of the Six Doors. An organization like the Order of the Phoenix has never existed. If the Order of the Phoenix was not too powerful, it caused the court to Fear, it can even be regarded as a model among martial arts gangs.

Yang Tinghe lowered his brows and said disappointedly: "Yang Zheng, you are still too naive. It is the rebellious party's actions that show their plans are far-reaching, gathering people's hearts to confuse the people. How can ordinary rebels have such foresight. Controlled by a group of self-respecting warriors, the day of suffering for the people of Liming is yet to come."

"You are also a warrior, and you know very well that warriors think differently from the people of Liming. These powerful people always use force to solve problems, and their actions are simple and rude. It involves all aspects, and a slight mistake will cause serious consequences, and it will be too late to regret."

Yang Zheng nodded and said yes, he confirmed his fellow Enxiang's opinion, and what he was worried about was more about the success or failure of the action, so he confessed his worries.

Yang Tinghe stood up straight, came to the side of the pavilion, and stood on the railing.

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the location of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, "There is at most [-]% certainty in this operation, but even if it is [-]% sure, His Majesty has placed all the bets on it, even taking out the Forbidden City that Emperor Taizong spent countless efforts to build. , Do you think we still have room to retreat?"

"What I have done is to seek his own government in his position. Since His Majesty trusted me and let me be the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, I will ensure the stability of the country, let the people live in peace, and let the country of the Ming Dynasty be named Zhu."

"Planning is up to man and success is up to heaven. Regardless of life or death, I am worthy of the sky above, and worthy of the people below. I have never failed His Majesty's high expectations. Even if things fail, I have a clear conscience. When I go to the underworld, I can be frank and frank."

Yang Zheng was speechless, he knew that this action was inevitable after all, what he could do right now was to check for omissions and make up for vacancies to ensure that no mistakes were made.

……

The next day, that is, on August [-]th, there were more than ten hours before the decisive battle.

Qian Heng got up early to eat.

He didn't stop after meals, practicing basic swordsmanship and stretching his body as before.

Chu Liuxiang and the others washed and ate one after another, and the yard they rented gradually became lively.

The people who went to the capital to watch the battle this time were completely voluntary, and Qian Heng did not interfere. As a result, only five masters and above masters did not come.

Although Tie Zhongtang rejuvenated, he was still on the verge of old age and death two years ago, so even if he regained his youth, he was still old-fashioned.

Yuan Suiyun was presiding over an important matter overseas, and he couldn't get away; Murong Qiudi was still angry about Xie Xiaodi's matter, so he didn't come either.

After helping to escort Xiaoyaohou's collection, Qian Heng promised to let Shen Bijun and Xiao Shishilang finish their own affairs before going to Jiangnan, so the two returned to Shen's house together. Originally, Shen Bijun wanted to get the approval of his family, but the two What happened was unanimously opposed by the Shen family.

Shen Bijun wanted to go to Qixingtang with his lover out of sight, but Xiao Shishilang insisted on getting Shen's approval, so the old matriarch made a request for Xiao Shishilang to take back Zi Yihou's five-color sailboat. The man sailed out to sea, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Wuhua did not come here under the pretext of practicing in seclusion, but Bai Xiaosheng followed the whole process in disguise, arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation for Lianxing and the others along the way.

Qian Heng was greedy for research, so he left two days late, but with all his lightness skills, he caught up with everyone in Cangzhou, and then went to Beijing together.

Below the great master, except for Bai Xiaosheng, everyone else was ordered not to go by Qian Heng, so there were not many companions.

After arriving in the capital and booking accommodation, Li Xunhuan also arrived late.

Qian Heng knew he couldn't persuade him, so he just sent someone to pick up Lin Shiyin to prevent someone from using her to deal with Tanhualang.

There was nothing to do during the day, and a few people talked about mysteries together, talking about the past and the present, so happy, drinking alcohol when thirsty, and eating meat when hungry, it was more comfortable than at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, only singing loudly.

In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting and it was almost time to set off. Xue Yiren coughed and said, "Why isn't Huamanlou here? He's usually very punctual."

"Perhaps something has delayed it?"

The hesitation in Chu Liuxiang's words even made him feel funny.

Qian Heng smiled faintly and stood up, "There is no need to wait for him, after tonight, you will definitely see him."

"set off!"
