Chapter 76: The Hero Breaks the Law with Martial Arts
(Thanks to book friend 20190523144029551 for the reward! The author expresses his gratitude!) It was late at night.
Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial capital.
In the Purple Gold Palace, the lights are still dim.
Yuwen Xiu, wearing a loose golden dragon robe, was reading the memorials presented by the ministers by the light of the lamp.
Outside the door, the old eunuch stood respectfully with a whisk in his hand, looking into the palace from time to time.
Seeing Yuwen Xiu working hard, the old eunuch couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his fair and beardless face.
After a long time, Yuwen Xiu put down the memorial in his hand and looked around the spacious yet lonely hall. An inexplicable sense of loneliness enveloped his body.
He stepped down from the dragon throne, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the door in his long robe.
The old eunuch bowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty..."
Yuwen Xiu ignored the old eunuch and looked at the hazy night, feeling worried.
"An immortal has appeared in Wolong Ridge. Once an immortal appears, the world will have many more variables. The more variables there are, the more serious the crisis will be for our Great Zhou..."
Yuwen Xiu murmured to himself.
The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground began to tremble slightly.
"How did the emperor die?"
"Obviously, our Great Zhou was at its peak, suppressing the Five Barbarians so much that they dared not even dare to speak out. But now, the memorials contain information about the Five Barbarians invading our Great Zhou's borders. The people living on the borders are suffering..."
Yu Wenxiu pursed her thin lips and clenched her fists.
"It's all because of the Hundred Schools. If it weren't for these forces, even if my father passed away, the Great Zhou wouldn't have been in such a mess. Because of the Hundred Schools, they persuaded many governors to cause our Great Zhou to fall into civil strife, giving the Hu people an opportunity to take advantage..."
The old eunuch on the ground didn't dare to breathe.
"The Mohist heroes, in the name of chivalry, disrupt the affairs of the world... they are the most despicable."
“I don’t know when the day will come when all schools of thought will be abolished.”
…
North Luo City.
Beneath the city wall, the moonlight is cold and clear.
Lu Changkong had a smile on his face, while the soldiers and generals from Beiluo City behind him were all tense.
"Master, I have long heard of your great name."
Lu Changkong bowed.
The news that Mo Beike had left Xi County had already spread.
However, the fact that Mo Beike had contact with Beijun Prefect Tan Tai Xuan could not be hidden from everyone.
Xiang Shaoyun, the Overlord of Xijun, was abandoned.
Lu Changkong was not surprised by this. How could Mo Beike control the Overlord's character?
"City Lord Lu, I have heard of Beiluo's name a long time ago. I hope City Lord Lu will not despise me for talking to me late at night..."
Mo Beike's smile was so kind that it made people feel like a spring breeze.
Lu Changkong glanced at the carriage, and all the Mohist disciples dismounted.
The group entered Beiluo City.
The cold moonlight spread and the city gates closed.
Lu Changkong didn't talk to Mo Beike for too long because Mo Beike always made him feel uncomfortable.
He ordered his men to arrange Mo Beike to stay in the inn, and sent thousands of people to surround the inn layer by layer, not letting even a mosquito go.
Lu Changkong will only feel at ease if he keeps Mo Beike under his nose.
He knew that Mo Beike's main target for entering Beiluo City was Lu Fan.
Even though Lu Changkong knew that Lu Fan had a destiny with immortality and was extremely powerful, as a father, he would never let his son get involved in danger.
Lu Mansion.
Luo Cheng kept giving orders, placing thousands of men lurking in every corner of the Lu Mansion, and all the pavilions and waterside terraces were heavily guarded.
Luo Cheng himself was sitting in the courtyard with a sword on his shoulder. The cold moonlight shone on his armor, emitting a cold glow.
"If you want to assassinate the young master, you must first pass my body, Luo Cheng."
Luo Cheng stood on his horse with his sword drawn, his blood boiling.
The Lu Mansion Villa.
Ni Yu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She stood up, rubbed her belly, and her chubby face wrinkled into a ball.
She wasn't hungry, she just felt a little greedy.
I want to eat something so I can go to bed early.
Plus, the lonely and dark room made her a little scared.
Ning Zhao and Yi Yue both stayed on the island in the middle of the lake, practicing hard, but she... shouted slogans loudly, but apart from eating and sleeping, she did not put any action into her practice.
She beat her chest and stamped her feet for a while, then climbed down from the bed, tiptoed, sneaked out of the courtyard, and slipped into the kitchen.
It was late at night and the courtyard was quiet.
Ni Yu, with her hair tied into a bun, groped her way to the kitchen in the darkness with ease.
Pushing open the kitchen door, his chubby nose twitched, his eyes lit up, he went to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and found a few cold white steamed buns.
She chewed the steamed bun but didn't go back to her room. She was afraid that no one would accompany her.
So, she slipped into Lu Fan's courtyard, huddled in front of Lu Fan's door, and ate her steamed bun.
It’s true, when she arrived at the young master’s courtyard, she was not panicked at all.
…
Inside the inn.
Mo Beike stood with his hands behind his back, the moonlight shining on his face, making his features even more profound.
"What time is it now?"
Mo Beike said slowly.
In the dark.
A hoarse voice sounded.
"Zi Shi."
"It's midnight, it's almost time, the other five city guards will start at midnight..."
Mo Beike smiled softly.
"Then let's do it too."
A hoarse voice rang out in the darkness.
“Yes.”
Then, faintly, a dark shadow disappeared.
In the other rooms of the inn, the Mohist disciples pushed open the wooden windows one after another and looked at the heavy soldiers holding the posts below. They took off the huge bulging cloth bags attached to their waists.
A dagger appeared in his hand and cut the cloth bag.
Suddenly, there was a sound of air leakage, followed by a few hissing sounds.
Suddenly, dense swarms of fireflies flew out of the cloth bag, shining with eerie beauty in the dark night.
The fireflies are flying around, shining brightly, just like the stars in the sky gathered into a flowing galaxy.
Lu Changkong frowned, he spread out his palm, and a firefly fell into his palm, flickering, beautiful, yet pitiful.
"Firefly... Yin Yang Family!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Huh? Suddenly, Lu Changkong's expression changed drastically.
The firefly in the palm of my hand suddenly exploded...
A mist suddenly filled his nose, and Lu Changkong felt the world spinning before his eyes.
Beside him, Luo Yue had fainted on the ground.
The heavy troops surrounding the inn fell to the ground one after another in the mist created by the explosion of fireflies.
Lu Changkong protected his mind with a wisp of spiritual energy, and looked towards the inn while suppressing the feeling of dizziness, his eyes narrowed.
Under the cold moonlight, there was a huge metal spider standing on the top of the inn. Several figures wearing black hats jumped down with the metal spider, and after a few leaps, they disappeared into the night.
"Mechanical beast...mechanical beast!"
"Yin Yang School...Alchemist!"
"Disciples of the Mohist School..."
Lu Changkong panted violently, "They actually dared..."
The various schools of thought are truly completely unscrupulous, and even the imperial master cannot suppress them.
"Fan'er..."
Lu Changkong stumbled out the door.
…
Midnight.
The Great Zhou Dynasty ushered in a silent and drastic change.
The six defensive cities, Beiluo, Zuilong, Tong'an, Pingnan, Yuanchi and Wangtian, all have dancing fireflies like stars.
After the fireflies exploded, the city was surrounded by fog.
Amidst the looming shadows, the six indestructible defensive cities began to collapse from within.
…
Lu Mansion, small courtyard.
Lu Fan sat in a wheelchair, which turned automatically. Through the vermilion carved wooden window, he could see the bright moonlight shrouded in mist. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Outside the yard.
A figure in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat stood on the roof.
Hold a metal flute, place it next to your lips, and blow gently.
The sound of the flute lingered in the night, as if calling for something.
There was a loud roar.
Bang! Under the dim moonlight, a huge metal spider fell from the sky accompanied by the sound of the flute and landed in the yard. There were four people standing on the back of the metal spider.
Ni Yu, who was hiding in front of Lu Fan's door, was stunned.
The cold steamed bun in his mouth fell to the ground with a "plop".
"I heard that Beiluo Young Master Lu has found a destiny to become an immortal. All of us in the Yin-Yang School were originally in seclusion, but the Mohist master personally visited us and came out to gather those who have found a destiny to become immortals, to prevent those who have found a destiny to become immortals from causing chaos in the world. Therefore, please ask Young Master Lu to go with us. When the world is stable, Young Master Lu can return."
On the roof.
The man in the black robe and the conical hat with a draped curtain stopped playing the metal flute and spoke slowly.
The sound lingered in the courtyard.
Ni Yu, who was cowering in front of the door, was terrified. "Yes... yes... there is an assassin!"
However.
Her voice just fell.
The carved wooden door behind him opened automatically.
Lu Fan, dressed in white, sat in a wheelchair with a chessboard on his legs, ready to make a move.
The moonlight broke through the fog and shone on Lu Fan.
A man is like jade, unparalleled in the world.
Ni Yu was stunned.
Lu Fan's eyes fell on the chessboard, but his voice lingered in the courtyard.
"If a knight-errant uses force to break the law and relies on force to commit acts of disorder in times of chaos, he shall be... executed."
"You will be... executed for disturbing my sleep and bullying my good temper."
"My lord, I have the fate of an immortal, and I don't care about your business. You should... be executed."
Three words, three moves.
The sound of pieces falling on the chessboard is crisp.
Ni Yu looked back, suddenly filled with astonishment, unable to close his mouth.
But in the courtyard...
The huge spiritual pressure covered the sky and the sun.
The huge metal spider was suddenly crushed into a pile of scrap metal. The human figure hidden in the belly of the metal spider let out a scream, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
The several figures standing on the spider's back were instantly exploded into bloody mist.
A strong smell of blood filled the courtyard.
