"call out!"

  Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao put the 1.5 fingers of his right hand and the middle fingers together, and between the fingers, a terrifying sword qi burst out!

  Following Zhu Houzhao's actions, everyone in the imperial study felt that the space around them seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult for them to even blink their eyelids!

  Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, two peerless swordsmen, felt the terrifying sword energy on Zhu Houzhao's fingers, and their eyes showed a bit of fiery color!

  Even Ximen Chuixue, who was facing this sword qi, still had a bit of a smile in his eyes, as if to say that he would have no regrets when he saw such a sword before his death!

  As a good friend of Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't bear to let Ximen Chuixue die. She was full of anxiety and wanted to rescue her, but found that she couldn't move at all, so she could only watch all this happen! .

Chapter 273

  Seeing that Ximen Chuixue was about to die unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao's figure stopped abruptly and stopped in front of Ximen Chuixue, and the sword energy on his fingers disappeared instantly.

  Everyone in the imperial study also felt that they had regained their mobility.

  Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and show mercy."

  Zhu Houzhao ignored Lu Xiaofeng, looked directly at Ximen Chuixue and said, "I am a person who cherishes talents. Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng are like this, and so is Ximen Chuixue. I can take a step back and give you another chance."

  "You don't need to officially join Quicksand Guard, you can act as a guest secretary. Quicksand guard is on the rivers and lakes. If you encounter a strong enemy and need help, you have to help. However, if you think Quicksand guard's behavior is against justice. , you can refuse to shoot."

  "For this reason, I can give you a chance to duel with Ye Gucheng, and if you feel that you have improved your swordsmanship in the future, you can also challenge me to the swordsmanship that I used before."

  Zhu Houzhao said this because he had a deep understanding of Ximen Chuixue.

  Although Ximen Chuixue looked cold and inhuman on the outside, in his heart, there was justice, and with Ximen Chuixue's character, if he forced him too much, maybe Ximen Chuixue would only choose death.

  Zhu Houzhao is willing to keep Ximen Chuixue, on the one hand because he likes the character Ximen Chuixue in the original novel, and on the other hand because of the justice that Ximen Chuixue has hidden in his heart.

  Moreover, Zhu Houzhao's actions like this will inevitably increase Lu Xiaofeng's goodwill towards him, and make Lu Xiaofeng serve him more attentively in the future.

  Naturally, Zhu Houzhao didn't mind doing this kind of feat.

  On the contrary, if you kill Ximen Chuixue, there will be no benefit, but there may be some bad effects.

  When Lu Xiaofeng heard Zhu Houzhao's words, he felt a little envious of Ximen Chuixue. Zhu Houzhao's conditions for Ximen Chuixue were much more relaxed than for him.

  Without waiting for Ximen Chuixue to make a sound, Lu Xiaofeng said quickly: "Ximen Chuixue, the emperor has already been so sincere, so don't put on airs. I also told you about Quicksand Guard. For Daming Jianghu, quicksand The establishment of Wei is definitely a good thing. Moreover, there are no restrictions on you. You can continue to pursue your swordsmanship, why do you hesitate?"

  Zhu Houzhao did not continue to speak, and quietly looked at Ximen Chuixue, waiting for his answer.

  In the imperial study, Ye Gucheng and Nie Feng also looked at Ximen Chuixue, wanting to see what he would choose.

  Ximen Chuixue glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng, and Zhu Houzhao, and then said in a cold voice, "I promise."

  Hearing Ximen Chuixue's words, Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

  Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then said: "Ye Gucheng is injured. I have Jiuhua Yulu Pills here. I will give him to take it. After he is healed, the two of you will go to the square outside the Golden Palace to duel."

  At the same time as the voice fell, Zhu Houzhao directly reached into his arms, took out the porcelain bottle containing Jiuhua Yulu Pills, poured out a pill, and threw it into Ye Gucheng's mouth.

  Immediately, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and flicked lightly, and waved a force of Yuan force in the air, directly unlocking the ban on Ye Gucheng's strength.

  Ye Gucheng took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao, then directly crossed his knees on the ground, began to exercise to absorb the medicinal power, and healed his wounds.

  Nie Feng received Zhu Houzhao's order, and he was somewhat merciful to Ye Gucheng, so his injury was not very serious.

  After taking Jiuhua Yulu Pills, Ye Gucheng had a good luck for half an hour, and his injury had completely recovered.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty," Ye Gucheng got up, bowed slightly towards Zhu Houzhao, and said thanks.

  Although Ye Gucheng came to assassinate Zhu Houzhao at the beginning, whether Zhu Houzhao was his own strength or his words and deeds, Ye Gucheng felt a burst of admiration.

  Moreover, in order to make him recover as soon as possible, he even gave him the assassin directly and gave him precious pills, which made Ye Gucheng admire Zhu Houzhao.

  Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue on the side also admired Zhu Houzhao even more in their hearts.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "You don't need to thank me, I just want to see, between you and Ximen Chuixue, the decisive battle between two peerless swordsmen. Now that your injury is healed, let's go to the square outside the Golden Palace. At this time, Presumably those martial arts people are also anxiously waiting."

  "Ding, release the sign-in task, please go to the top of the Forbidden City to sign in. The task reward: a copy of martial arts, and the baggage required by the [-] army for one year."

  Just as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the mechanical prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

  Hearing the reward mentioned by the system, Zhu Houzhao felt a bit of surprise in his heart. He didn't expect to even provide the baggage used by the army. This system is really practical enough.

  The other martial arts copy card, although I don't know what it does, sounds like it's not bad.

  Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Houzhao remained calm and said to Nie Feng, "First, take the Prince of Nanwang and this Wang Quan down and hand them over to the West Factory for interrogation. Then, you will rush to the Golden Palace. Come from outside the square."

  "Yes," Nie Feng said respectfully, and then carried the Prince of Nanwang and Wang Quan to the West Factory.

  "Let's go." After Nie Feng left, Zhu Houzhao said lightly to the three of Lu Xiaofeng.

  At the same time as the voice fell, Zhu Houzhao walked directly out of the imperial study, and then went in the direction of the Golden Palace.

  Not long after, the group came to the square outside the Golden Palace.

  When everyone saw Zhu Houzhao, Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng, and Ximen Chuixue appearing, the people in the square who were discussing suddenly stopped talking and looked at Zhu Houzhao and his party.

  Especially those people in the rivers and lakes who had seen Zhu Houzhao before, their hearts could not help beating for a while.

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes looked around the people around him, and he displayed the Lingbo micro-step movement technique under his feet, and walked towards the top of the Forbidden City.

  Under the moonlight, everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao's elegant and unrestrained figure, it was as if they had seen the exiled immortal in Linchen!

  And above the sky, the terrifying celestial phenomenon that appeared again shocked everyone, and they were full of awe for this royal nobleman who did not know his specific identity!

  "Ding, the sign in is successful!"

  "Reward a copy of martial arts. Note: After using the copy of martial arts, within [-] hours, you can copy all martial arts exercises performed by others into the system, and the host can use it at any time."

  "Reward the [-]-strong army for the baggage needed for one year. Note: The baggage includes rations, salaries, equipment and other inanimate items.".

Chapter 274

  Hearing the system's voice, Zhu Houzhao was instantly overjoyed, but he ignored the system reward for the time being.

  Zhu Houzhao stood solemnly on the top of the Forbidden City, looked at the dense crowd below, and said loudly: "Everyone came to the palace today to witness the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, the two peerless swordsmen."

  "This duel may be a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle for all the heroes of the arena. However, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue chose the location of the duel at the top of the Forbidden City. Allowed! This is disrespectful to me and the Daming royal family!"

  Whoa!

  In the square outside the Golden Palace, people from all corners of the Ming Dynasty were in an uproar when they heard Zhu Houzhao's words.

  Among these people in Jianghu, there are many people who have seen Zhu Houzhao's style and admire Zhu Houzhao.

  But what they didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao was the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty, which was really shocking!

  After all, the dignified emperor of Ming Dynasty did not sit in the court, but wandered around the rivers and lakes. This kind of thing seems to have no precedent in the Ming Dynasty.

  Moreover, Zhu Houzhao's later words also made Qun Xiong emotional for a while.

  They traveled thousands of miles, from all over the country, to the capital, didn't they just to see the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue?

  Now, Zhu Houzhao's meaning seems to be that the two will not be allowed to duel, so aren't they running in vain?

  "This emperor is too domineering? Why don't you let Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue duel?"

  "Yeah, yeah, but as soon as I heard the news, I rushed to the capital, and I drove the journey for more than half a month."

  "Hey, don't you think about it, what is the top of the Forbidden City? Can anyone go there?"

  "That's true, but the emperor directly organized the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, why didn't the two of them react...〃?"

  "Who knows that?"

  "..."

  Zhu Houzhao ignored the crowd and continued: "The top of the Forbidden City is not only a place name, but also represents a supreme status!"

  "You are not only high-ranking guests, but also the people of Daming. In your eyes, what is the majesty of my Daming Empire? Only one person can stand on the top of this supreme Forbidden City, and that is me!"

  boom!

  At the same time as the voice fell, Zhu Houzhao's terrifying aura slammed down on the crowd in the square in front of the Golden Palace!

  On the square, people from all corners of the Ming Dynasty were talking about it, but after sensing the terrifying momentum, they closed their mouths instantly, and their hearts were full of fear.

  Under that terrifying momentum, they seemed to stop breathing at any time!

  After a long while, Zhu Houzhao took back a bit of his momentum and continued: "However, Nian Chuixue at Ximen has the power to save the driver. This time, I will not care about it."

  "In addition, in order to let the heroes of all corners of the world not waste time and run for nothing, I decided to let Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue fight at the top of this square, so that everyone can see this epic battle!"

  "Your Majesty is wise!"

  Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, the heroes on the square immediately let out their breaths and thanked Zhu Houzhao.

  Although Zhu Houzhao did not allow Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to duel at the top of the Forbidden City, he did not stop them from fighting.

  This is already very happy for these rivers and lakes!

  As for the idea of ​​forcing Zhu Houzhao to agree with Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to duel at the top of the Forbidden City.

  After seeing Zhu Houzhao's terrifying strength and the previous layout of Zhu Houzhao in Jianghu, these Jianghu people are not so bold.

  What's more, this place is in the palace!

  Zhu Houzhao glanced around the crowd, then withdrew his aura and displayed the Lingbo micro-stepping technique. In a flash, he landed on the side of Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng again.

  "Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, let's get started!"

  Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then walked towards the middle of the square.

  When everyone in the square saw Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, two peerless swordsmen, they were finally going to fight this pinnacle battle.

  Although the moon has sunk in the west, it looks more round.

  A full moon seems to hang under the eaves of the Golden Palace!

  That charming moonlight, but no one appreciates it at the moment.

  The people on the square stared at Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue who were gradually walking towards the middle of the square.

  From them, everyone felt an overwhelming momentum and heavy pressure!

  Everyone is silent.
