Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

The progressive plot made everyone hold their breath and almost forget to breathe.

Especially the unexpected arrangement at the end - Lu Xiaofeng uncovered the conspiracy, and Ximen Chuxue took action in time, which brought the whole story to a perfect end.

"Well said, reward!"

Xu Fengnian, who was in the elegant room on the third floor, felt his blood boiling and heroic spirit surge after hearing this, and casually threw a jade pendant as a reward.

Although this jade pendant is not as valuable as the one given by Hua Manlou, it is also worth 800,000 taels of silver. Old Huang beside him was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Eight hundred thousand taels of silver, how many roast ducks and aged wines can you buy!

Such generous rewards instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire hall, and discussions arose one after another:

"What a brilliant story! I didn't expect such a shocking event to happen before the final battle atop the Forbidden City."

"The imperial palace is truly full of hidden talents. Even figures like the four brothers of the Yu family have been recruited by the court. It's a near-death experience for ordinary people to step into it."

"This is too exciting! If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't exposed the Nanping King's evil scheme, the entire Ming Dynasty would have changed hands long ago."

"Without Lu Xiaofeng's wisdom or Ximen Chuxue's swordsmanship, the Ming Emperor would have died long ago."

"Indeed, Lu Xiaofeng alone, even if he saw through the conspiracy, could not withstand Ye Gucheng's fatal blow."

"I've long heard that Lu Xiaofeng is incredibly intelligent. Today, I hear that his reputation is truly well-deserved. He was able to decipher the Prince of Nanping's sinister scheme in a split second."

However, although many people are amazed, there are still many people who remain skeptical.

"This is absolutely ridiculous! Everything Mr. Su said happened within the palace walls. Who can prove its authenticity? I'm afraid it's nothing more than Mr. Su's imagination."

A sarcastic voice was heard in the hall.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with many people in the world.

Although Su Chen's narration was vivid, these things were originally secret and could not be verified.

If you think about it more carefully, that series of events is too bizarre and too coincidental to be convincing.

Although some people who supported Su Chen were angry, they were unable to refute at this moment and could only glare at him.

"I am willing to vouch for what Mr. Su said!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from a private room on the east side of the third floor.

The man who had just spoken immediately sneered, "Who are you? What guarantees do you have? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who the person was.

A young man strode out of the box, stood by the corridor on the third floor, and said loudly:

"I won't hide my name, it's Lu Xiaofeng, also known as Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows!"

"At least half of what Mr. Su said was what I heard and saw with my own eyes."

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival half a month ago, Prince Nanping and others did plot to usurp the throne."

"Luckily, they made a mistake and I was able to spot the clues. I rushed to the palace with Ximen Chuxue overnight and barely prevented Ye Gucheng's assassination attempt."

"Afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor personally inscribed a commendation as a token of his appreciation."

"Tell me, am I qualified to endorse Mr. Su's words?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

Lu Xiaofeng!

That legendary figure who is famous in the world has actually come to the Zijin Tower!

As famous as Ximen Chuxue, Lu Xiaofeng is also a well-known figure in the martial arts world.

But compared to the aloof and taciturn Ximen Chuxue, Lu Xiaofeng is free and easy by nature. He likes to go wherever there is excitement and has friends all over the world.

Soon, several heroes from the Ming Dynasty recognized him and testified to his identity.

At this point, those who had originally questioned him stopped talking.

Given Lu Xiaofeng's reputation, his guarantee is naturally very important.

In other words, the palace coup actually happened.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Chen with admiration.

Being in Beiliang, he was able to see through secrets thousands of miles away. With this ability, it is no exaggeration to say that he is "all-knowing".

Next to the corridor on the third floor.

Seeing the storm gradually subside, Lu Xiaofeng showed a satisfied look on his face, then he bowed to the platform and said sincerely:

"I, Lu, am blind and thought Mr. Su was just bluffing, so I deliberately tested him."

"Now I know that Mr. Su really has the ability to see through the mysteries of heaven. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

……

On the high platform.

Su Chen gently waved his folding fan and responded with a smile:

"Using a white jade flying pendant worth two million taels of silver to test someone, with such sincerity, how many people in the world would actually be angry?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Lu Xiaofeng also laughed and said, "I'm just offering a gift to the Buddha. If Mr. Su doesn't mind, that would be great."

In the box, Hua Manlou quietly drank the tea in his hand in one gulp. He was the one who was taken advantage of.

Although he spent an extra two million taels of silver, he felt quite comfortable at this moment.

With Su Chen's ability, he is very likely to help him find out the person who forged the Datong banknotes behind the scenes and resolve the urgent crisis for the Hua family.

Compared with the losses caused by counterfeit banknotes, millions of taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket.

But this matter is still secret and should not be made public. I can only ask Su Chen privately after the storytelling is over.

Private room on the east side of the third floor.

Yaoyue and Lianxing also couldn't hide their excitement.

Lu Xiaofeng's words further confirmed their guess - Su Chen did have the talent to see through the mysteries of nature.

In this case, can the truth of the Jiang Feng family murder case, which they have been searching for for twenty years, finally be revealed?

South room on the third floor.

Xu Fengnian had received the report and knew Hua Manlou's identity. He muttered in a low voice:

"So he's the young master of the Hua family, a powerful clan in the Ming Dynasty. No wonder he's so generous."

After learning that this person had no conflict of interest with him, Xu Fengnian stopped worrying about it and shouted loudly:

"Mr. Su, we've finished explaining the circumstances surrounding the final battle atop the Forbidden City. Isn't it time to get down to business?"

This shout drew everyone's attention back, and they all responded.

After all, this is the world of martial arts.

Even if the secret of the usurpation of the throne makes people's blood boil,

But what everyone wants to hear most is the part where the two top swordsmen duel on top of the Forbidden City.

On the high platform.

Su Chen took a sip of tea, faced the eager gazes of the crowd, and spoke slowly:

"Go on."

"After Ye Gucheng was stopped by Ximen Chuxue, he knew his assassination was hopeless and immediately turned around and tried to flee."

"However, by then, forces like Hulong Villa, the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Six Gates had already received the news."

"Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi, Liu Xi, Cao Zhengchun, Guo Juxia, and other masters have gathered outside the Forbidden City, ready for battle."

"Ye Gucheng alone could not break through the encirclement, so he had no choice but to return to the top of the Forbidden City."

"Thus, this peak battle returned to its original trajectory."

"This will be a life-and-death struggle, a battle that will determine not only victory but also survival."

"These two swordsmen, who are at the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty sword art, are now in sync with each other and draw their swords almost simultaneously."

"To outsiders, the two men's movements seemed slow. This fight lacked fierce confrontation and spectacular moves."

"But the true experts held their breath, because they could see that this was a showdown between top masters."

"Although Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue's pace was slow, the speed at which their sword moves changed was astonishing."

"Every movement of sword energy is actually a clash."

"That is to say, dozens of moves had already taken place when they were fighting each other."

"Ximen Chuxue is indeed a rare swordsman prodigy. At only twenty-six years old, his swordsmanship is no less than that of forty-year-old Ye Gucheng."

"His true peak is far from here, and his potential is still limitless."

"However, Ximen Chuixue has a flaw that cannot be ignored at this moment."

"Deep within his heart lies the figure of a woman, Sun Xiuqing, a core disciple of the Emei Sect and known as one of the Four Beauties of Emei."

"Although they only met briefly, Ximen Chuixue could never forget her."

"Once a cold-blooded swordsman becomes emotional, his sword strokes will naturally slow down."

"Facing ordinary opponents, this slight difference is almost negligible."

“But if we encounter Ye Gucheng, who is equally powerful, this will become the key to life and death.”

Chapter 5 only includes people from this world!

"In the final move of the decisive battle, Ye Gucheng used his unique skill 'Flying Fairy from the Sky'!"

"Ximen Chuxue also used all his strength to unleash his strongest sword."

"But he had feelings in his heart, so he was a moment slower than Ye Gucheng in drawing his sword."

"Before he stabbed Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng's sword had already pierced his throat."
