Under the starry night, Yan Gongzhan took the lead, followed by Ye Qingxuan, strolling in the square in front of the Taiji Hall, as casual as if old friends were meeting, and it was impossible to see what kind of event the two were about to start fierce fight.
Thirty feet in front of the Taiji Hall, three masters in official uniforms stood in a row indifferently, waiting quietly for the two to arrive.
The three were Murong Zhuhai who was wearing a first-grade imperial uniform, Huangfu Taiyi who was wearing a boa robe, and Yu Shengtan who was the chief eunuch.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan approaching, all three of them sneered and stared at each other with hatred.
Huangfu Taiyi cupped his hands and saluted, and said with a half smile: "Young Xia Ye is finally here, I'll wait here for a long time."
"Thank you." Ye Qingxuan said flatly, looking up at the night sky from the beginning to the end, without glancing at anyone.
Yu Shengtan snorted coldly, and said calmly: "Although it is a duel, what should be said must be made clear. I don't know if Ye Shaoxia has any last words to explain, or any request, you can make it at this time, so as not to regret it later Don't fall."
Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly, and then he glanced at Yu Shengtan with great interest, and said lightly: "Mr. Yu's arms are connected? The magic technique is useful. The clothes match you very well. Knowing what should be cut off, whether you can still pick it up... If you have this ability, it must be good news for the eunuchs in the Ouchi... "
"You—" Yu Shengtan was furious and almost attacked on the spot.
"Okay, don't fight with words." Murong Zhuhai snorted coldly, stopped Yu Shengtan's furious behavior, and said coldly: "Ye Qingxuan, although the two of you should do whatever you want in this duel, you should also follow the rules. One principle, that is not to damage this Tai Chi Hall, otherwise it will be considered a loss. What do you think?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at Murong Zhuhai in amazement, he didn't expect that such words would come out of his mouth, as the core symbol of the Great Xia court, of course the Taiji Hall was what Ye Qingxuan wanted to maintain, but he didn't expect these words He actually said it from Murong Zhuhai's mouth first, and couldn't help nodding his head, which means he agreed to the proposal.
"That's good." Murong Zhuhai showed a satisfied smile, turned slightly, and said, "You two, please."
Hoo, hoo!
The two figures went up to the highest point of the Tai Chi Hall, regardless of the front and back.
At this moment, around the Tai Chi Hall, thousands of pairs of eyes are all fixed on the roof representing the peak of power in the world, and it is also the pinnacle of life-and-death duel in the world today.
This battle not only decides the outcome, but also divides life and death. It also represents the overall situation of the two forces who can control the world.
Zhan Yu, Duan Sanshi, Huangfu Taiming, Ruhua, and Jiang Shuihan stood at the top of Chengtianmen, looking at the top of Taiji Hall in the distance, and at the same time looked at the charming starry sky.
Zhan Yu expressed his feelings: "It's no wonder that wise men from ancient times to the present love the night sky so much. This charming night is indeed more infinitely mysterious than the day."
"Is it just because of the mystery?" Huangfu Taiming asked with a smile.
Jiang Shuihan replied: "Because I can see far enough. The daytime looks bright, but the blue sky and white clouds block the view, making people think that the sky is only as high as the birds. In fact, the real lofty stars are those eternal stars. Like the gods in the sky, silently watching our world, that's why the ancient philosophers would put forward the principle of 'respecting the sky and caring for others'."
Huangfu Taiming nodded and said: "God's will is lofty, it doesn't change with human will, it seems ruthless, but it leaves a path to the sky for people, as long as you can follow the will of heaven, you will be invincible..."
Duan Sanshi continued: "I was in Kunwu Mountain, and I heard Taoist Master Lingxu preach. He often said that the way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; Ann, Murong Zhuhai is fighting for power and profit at this time, and everyone in the world will definitely despise him, this duel between the seventh brothers conforms to the hearts of the people of the world, and there is no doubt that he will win."
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, then fell silent, and then someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then everyone roared with laughter.
Zhan Yu pointed at Duan Sanshi and laughed loudly: "The words of the Taoist school are mysterious and mysterious. When did you learn these, like an old Taoist priest who has retreated for decades..."
Huangfu Taiming's eyes lit up, and he questioned: "Speaking of which, where is Daoist Master Chu Lingxu..."
"Everything is as usual." Jiang Shuihan smiled mysteriously.
Huangfu Taiming nodded in understanding.
At this time, Zhan Yu glanced left and right, and said strangely: "I don't know what happened to Daoist Chu, but... Where did Meng Laoliu go? That kid has always been so lively and he has nothing to do with him..."
After saying this, everyone realized that not only Meng Yuanyun, but also Nie Xingxie and Sanada Ryuhiko had disappeared.
"It's broken!" Jiang Shuihan slapped his head, "Brother Six must have caused trouble again."
When Ruhua heard this, her eyes widened immediately, "Will there be a fight? Damn it, why didn't this Meng Laoliu call me if he had something good to do?"
Jiang Shuihan was choked up immediately, forgetting that the fifth brother, the great monk, likes to make trouble the most.
Huangfu Taiming laughed loudly and said, "The sixth brother didn't call the fifth brother, so it probably wasn't a big fight. Just looking at him with Nie Xingxie and Sanada, you can tell that they are going to steal it."
Jiang Shuihan suddenly said: "I understand, the things that my sixth brother will miss are probably the jade seals and dragon charms we mentioned last time."
"Stealing things? It's really not suitable for me..." Ruhua curled her lips, "Then it's better to watch fights."
"I hope they are all right." Zhan Yu sighed.
Jiang Shuihan said: "As long as Seventh Brother can put more pressure on the people on the opposite side here, they will have no time to worry about the inner city."
"Don't worry!" Duan Sanshi said with a smile, "Our Shaoxia Ye is sure to win."
On the ridge of the roof, Ye Qingxuan and Yan Gongzhan stood opposite each other. The distance between the two sides was less than ten feet. The roof of the Taiji Hall was the tallest building in the imperial city with a radius of ten miles. At the center of the universe in general.
Yan Gongzhan looked around, finally sighed quietly, and said slowly: "I kind of know why you chose this top of the Forbidden City as the location of the decisive battle."
"Oh? Tell me..." Ye Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, this was a question he hadn't thought much about, but he didn't know what Yan Gongzhan understood.
Yan Gongzhan opened his arms, as if holding the cosmic starry sky in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Look around, does it seem to be the center of the universe, and here is the Taiji Hall, and the emperor's feet are under his feet. Dragon chair, this is the center of the mighty land, and it is the highest pinnacle of power in the world... You want to fight me here, which shows that you have ambition and height, and only here is worthy of a man like you to fight!"
Ye Qingxuan smiled to himself, and said calmly: "Do you like this... the feeling of being the only one in the world?"
Yan Gongzhan laughed, "Don't you like it?"
