Your Majesty, don't look back. I am Your Majesty.

Tonight, we will go to the ultimate scene of Wu Xuejian to catch the real culprit behind the scenes.

This will be the pinnacle battle that will make Lord Yu truly famous throughout the world and dominate the martial arts world!

This is ten times more valuable than the previous competition with Nie Zheng on shock wave!

It won't take a while.

The carriage drove to Tianwei Gate, which was only a hundred steps away from the Military Academy.

Yu Huaian suddenly broke out of his meditation and walked straight down from the official carriage.

"Greetings, Lord Rain!"

"Long live the Rain Lord!"

"I wish Lord Yu can catch the murderer as soon as possible and ascend to the sky!"

The imperial guards on duty at the South Gate today were from the Jinwu Left Guard among the Thirteen Guards. They had always been at odds with the Jinyi Guards under the East Factory, so when they saw him, the deputy governor of the West Factory, coming, they all bowed and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Huaian worked his way up from a servant, so he was naturally different from Liu Jin's arrogant attitude. He immediately smiled and responded to everyone.

After watching for a while, he suddenly discovered something unusual and immediately asked the leading guard: "Why are there so many fewer brothers guarding the South Gate today? Did your Commander Zhou arrange other tasks for them?"

"Oh, Lord Rain Governor, you are truly a prophet."

The tall guard who led the group took him aside with a respectful look on his face and said in a low voice, "To be honest, Lord Governor Yu, something big happened to the martial arts supervisor today."

"Oh? What's the big deal?"

Yu Huaian's heart tightened, wondering if Xu Shaofeng had acted in advance and was caught red-handed by the people from the Divine Capture Department?

The chief guard said: "The young master of the Tianjian Sect, Xu Shaofeng, has arrived in Beijing!"

"Ah, what then?"

Yu Huaian asked, "Did this kid go to the Martial Arts School?"

The chief guard said, "Yes, this Xu Shaofeng is really very bold. He actually submitted an application to the martial arts supervisor in the name of the son of a martial noble, and invited the Third Princess to compete at the "Martial God Arena" on top of the Imperial City!"

"About when did it happen?" Yu Huaian asked quickly.

The chief guard whispered, "Lord Yu, others may not know the inside story of this matter, but it just so happens that my humble father was a guard beside Queen Mingyue back then, and he knows about this past!"

He paused, looked around, and continued:

"The leader of the Tianjian Sect, Xu Shaofeng, is the senior brother of our third princess. Back then, Queen Mingyue personally arranged this marriage with the leader of the Tianjian Sect, Xu Qingxuan. Now Xu Shaofeng and the third princess are drawing their swords. It is likely that there is a problem in their relationship! The engagement is off!"

"Ah, so that's it."

Yu Huaian held his forehead with his hand.

Damn, what kind of side plots are these?

Did Xu Shaofeng go to Beijing this time to avenge Queen Xiu, or to compete with Su Jianli, cosplaying as Xiao Yan?

Yu Huaian's heart sank, and he felt that things might be more complicated than he had imagined!

At the same time.

He also recalled the confusion and distress in the eyes of the Third Princess Su Jianli when they duelled with each other outside Mingyue Palace!

"No wonder this sister-in-law insisted on dragging me to duel with swords that day!"

"In her heart, I, Yu Huaian, should be the strongest swordsman of the younger generation in the court. She wants to find the flaws and shortcomings of her own Cold Moon Swordsmanship through a duel with me, and defeat her fiancé, the senior brother!"

Thinking of this, Yu Huaian felt heavy-hearted, but also a little relieved.

at this time.

Ding.

"You have triggered the God-level selection task!"

"Choice 1: Find out the truth and defeat Xu Shaofeng by any means! Reward: All martial arts secrets +."

"Choice 1: Find out the truth, use the Giant Yang Divine Art to stir-fry (implied meaning) the female accomplices in the murderer's gang. Reward: Nine-orifice Golden Pill x.

[Golden Pill Description 1: It comes from a certain top-level plane, a ninth-grade immortal pill. Taking it can transform one's body and bones, and build a supreme physical foundation. It is the first choice of divine medicine for those who want to become an eternal emperor.]

[Golden Pill Instructions 2: This product has been refined and optimized for the host. No need to open the abdomen to melt the blood, just swallow it directly! (Limit one pill per person)]

Looking at the system panel in his mind, Yu Huaian was a little stunned.

I rely on?

Wasn’t there a detective mission issued before, but it hasn’t been completed yet?

Can this also be used as a nesting doll?

Chapter 122 (1/2)

"Hey, this time options one and two don't seem to conflict with each other."

"Suppose, there is a beautiful young lady among the murderers, and I kill her first, and then I crush the young master of Tianjian Sect, Xu Shaofeng. Doesn't that mean I can get both?"

Thinking of this, Yu Huaian felt a little relieved in his tense heart.

He looked at the head of the Jinwu Guard again and asked, "Did the Third Princess accept the duel invitation initiated by Xu Shaofeng at the Martial Arts Supervisor?"

"The Third Princess has accepted the challenge!"

The chief guard said, "The time is set for one hour later, and the location is on the highest floor of the Martial Arts Academy, the Martial God Pavilion that overlooks the entire imperial city!"

Yu Huaian nodded, then glanced around the city gate.

Except for the young captain of the guards who had a cultivation level of about the fifth rank, the rest of the soldiers were almost all warriors who had just entered the ninth rank.

I couldn't help but ask:

"So, after His Majesty knew about this, he mobilized the elite troops of the Imperial Guards to the Martial Arts Academy tonight to prevent any accidents from happening to the Third Princess?"

"To be honest with you, Lord Rain Governor, this is the case."

The young guard captain said, "Not only that, according to gossip from my brothers in the palace, His Majesty may be here in person tonight!"

"That's it."

Yu Huaian couldn't help but sigh: "Bai Xiaosheng is such a great man, he still doesn't dare to list anyone from the royal family on his list. This Xu Shaofeng went into the imperial city alone and challenged the princess to a duel. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger."

Seeing that the great men of the dynasty had said so, the chief guard quickly echoed:

"Yes, this damned savage has absolutely no respect for the imperial power and is lawless! In my opinion, if it weren't for the current emperor's magnanimity, this kid would have been secretly captured the moment he entered the Martial Arts Academy to submit his duel application!"

"You're not entirely right."

Yu Huaian said with a serious look, "After His Majesty ascended the throne, he revised the Martial Law several times, intending to ease the relationship between the court and the martial arts families. This Xu Shaofeng is not an ordinary person. His father is the leader of the Tianjian Sect, the first sword sect in the south, and is also one of the seven honorary martial arts titles of the Shengwu Academy. If he dies in a confused state, the martial arts world will be in chaos."

"Besides, the duel this kid challenged the Third Princess to had legal procedures. If the Third Princess herself does not refuse, even Your Majesty, the ruler of the empire, would not be able to forcibly interfere with it with your imperial power."

What he said was really true.

According to the provisions of Daxia's "Martial Law", martial artists can legally resolve personal grudges and achieve the purpose of revenge through life-and-death duels.

It just requires advance notification.

From local martial arts academies, to the Shengwu General Academy, and then to the martial arts supervisor in the capital, after a series of applications are approved, the court will vacate a specific duel venue for the initiator and the challenged to compete.

The court also sent military officers to witness and record the entire process and announce the results to the world.

It has to be said that since the third emperor of the founding of Daxia, Emperor Gaozong, added this law to the "Wuli".

The number of tragic incidents in the underworld where families and factions are wiped out is visibly much less.

"and many more."

Yu Huaian remembered something again: "The Third Princess and Xu Shaofeng are only at the fourth-grade Grandmaster level. According to convention, they should at most compete at the Martial Arts Arena in the center of the inner city of the Imperial Capital. Why did they move the venue to the Martial God Pavilion in the Martial Arts Academy?"

Yes.

In the "Wuli", there are also strict restrictions and regulations regarding the specifications of dueling venues.

It depends on the duel parties, their martial arts levels, and their identities and status.

From the earthen arena in the rural county town, to the Dragon and Tiger Arena of Cangzhou Shengwu General Hospital, to the martial arts arena in the capital, there are many of them.

The highest building in the imperial capital within the Martial Arts Academy, the "Martial God Pavilion" also known as the Star-Picking Tower, is only open to peerless strongmen above the third rank.

Hence the saying “the decisive battle is at the top of the empire”.

That is why the symbolic significance of this Martial God Pavilion far outweighs its practical value.

You should know that the last time it was open was three hundred years ago, when the Martial Saint of Shengwu Academy, the third-rank Grandmaster Yuan Yinglong, faced off against Mobei's number one boxing grandmaster, Zhagu Dingzhen.

"Lord Yu Du, I really know the inside story of this matter!"

The chief guard looked around and said in a very low voice: "According to what several of my brothers, the imperial guards said, it was Xu Shaofeng who proposed to move the duel venue to the Martial God Pavilion. When His Majesty heard about it, he made an exception and approved it!"

"This Xu Shaofeng is really too bold. First he openly challenged the Third Princess, and then he suddenly proposed to change the venue. Is there something he is up to?"

Thinking that this person was one of the real culprits behind the scenes admitted by Bai Xiaosheng himself.

Yu Huaian increasingly smelled the scent of conspiracy.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Yu Huaian patted the young guard on the shoulder, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, why do you look familiar to me?"

"Haha." The head guard laughed and said, "Master Yu finally recognized me. The day before the Mid-Autumn Feast, the Imperial Guards held a selection competition to determine the winners. They selected the ceremonial vanguards to welcome the distinguished guests. I even made it to the finals, and you were there at the time."

"I remember now."

Yu Huaian suddenly realized: "Your name is Chen Ze. In the final, you faced off against General Yu of the Jinyiwei. You were clearly slightly better, but the referee Liu Jin deliberately ruled you the loser, right?"

"Yes! That old villain Liu Jin is truly despicable! After this incident, our Jinwu Guards, from top to bottom, will be irreconcilable with his Jinyi Guards and the Eastern Depot!"

The captain of the guard named Chen Ze gritted his teeth.

"It's all right, buddy. It's all over."

"General Yu is now in the imperial prison, and is almost gone. In the future, you, brother Chen, will have the opportunity to show your talents in the imperial palace."

With the intention of bringing the Jinwu Guards under the command of the Western Factory as soon as possible, Yu Huaian encouraged the other party.
