　　“Stop！”
　　Suddenly, a deep shout sounded.
　　Everyone　turned　around.
I saw a figure walking from the gate of the Forbidden City against the snowstorm.
　　He has a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, wearing a military overcoat and carrying a battle knife obliquely on his back.
　　“Big brother——”
　　Xiao Qingdi shouted in surprise.
　　That’s right, the person who came was none other than Champion Marquis Xiao Jiu！
　　The people present whispered.
　　“I said it, how could such a grand event lack Champion Marquis？”
　　“Looking at the appearance of Champion Marquis, it doesn’t seem like he came to watch the show？”
　　“I heard that a few months ago, there was a disaster in the North, and Ye Qiu led the people of Longmen to rescue Xiao Jiu.”
　　“Could it be that Xiao Jiu came to help Ye Qiu？”
　　“Although Xiao Jiu is powerful, he is ultimately no match for the Forbidden City. I hope he doesn’t seek his own death.”
　　Ye Qiu was also a little surprised.
　　I didn’t expect that at this time, Xiao Jiu appeared.
　　“Big brother, big brother…” Xiao Qingdi continued to shout loudly at Xiao Jiu.
　　Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Qingdi and saw that Xiao Qingdi’s face was full of injuries and swollen like a pig’s head. He walked over and asked, “Who hit you？”
　　“Ye Qiu！” Xiao Qingdi said hatefully： “Big brother, help me destroy Ye Qiu. That kid stepped on my face with his foot.”
　　“Are you sure it was Ye Qiu who hit you？” Xiao Jiu didn’t seem to believe it.
　　“Sure.” Xiao Qingdi said： “Everyone present witnessed it with their own eyes. The head of the Zhou family spoke up for me and was also killed by Ye Qiu.”
　　Xiao Jiu’s eyes swept and saw the body of the head of the Zhou family.
　　His eyes turned cold.
　　“Pa！”
　　Xiao Jiu slapped Xiao Qingdi in the face.
　　Xiao Qingdi was stunned and covered his face and said, “Brother, why did you hit me？”
　　Xiao Jiu said coldly, “If Ye Qiu hit you, it means you deserve it.”
　　I　deserve　it？
　　Xiao Qingdi was a little angry. “Brother, are you confused？”
　　“At this time, why are you still speaking for Ye Qiu？”
　　“He will die soon.”
　　“Shut up！” Xiao Jiu glared at Xiao Qingdi and then said softly, “Qingdi, from now on, you must not act recklessly, you must correct your past mistakes and be a good person.”
　　Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Qingdi deeply.
　　His eyes were full of reluctance.
　　Then, he took a step.
　　“Champion Marquis…”
　　When Ye Qiu saw Xiao Jiu walking in front of him, he greeted him. However, Xiao Jiu didn’t stop and just glanced at Ye Qiu.
　　Xiao Jiu walked past Ye Qiu and walked all the way to the front of the square.
　　Just when everyone thought that Xiao Jiu was going to say hello to Old Tang, suddenly, Xiao Jiu knelt down on both knees.
　　Plop！
　　Xiao Jiu knelt on the ground and said loudly, “Disciple Xiao Jiu, pay respects to Master.”
　　Master？
　　Who is Xiao Jiu’s master？
　　The people present looked at each other in dismay, because they had never heard that Xiao Jiu had a master.
　　“Xiao Jiu, you don’t stay in the Northland properly. Why are you returning to the capital at this time？”
　　From within the sedan chair, Long Yi’s dissatisfied voice came.
　　What？
　　Xiao Jiu is Long Yi’s disciple？
　　In an instant, the scene was in an uproar.
　　“The Champion Marquis is an heir of the Forbidden City？ How is this possible！”
　　Everyone couldn’t believe it.
　　Xiao Qingdi had a dull expression： “When did Big Brother become Long Yi’s apprentice？ Why didn’t I know？”
　　Ye Qiu and Ye Wudi and the others also had expressions of surprise.
　　They also didn’t expect that the world-famous Champion Marquis was actually Long Yi’s apprentice.
　　Does Old Tang know about this？
　　Ye Qiu looked at Old Tang, and the latter’s face was gloomy. Obviously, Old Tang also didn’t know that Xiao Jiu was an heir of the Forbidden City.
　　That’s right. If Old Tang knew that Xiao Jiu was Long Yi’s disciple, he would definitely not entrust important tasks to Xiao Jiu.
　　Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.
　　Since Xiao Jiu is Long Yi’s disciple, then what is the purpose of his coming to the capital at this time？
　　To　kill　me？
　　If this is really the case, then what is the million-strong army led by Xiao Jiu doing at this time？
　　Also, when Xiao Jiu entered the military camp and took charge of the Northland, was there the instigation of the Forbidden City behind it？
　　If so, then what is the conspiracy of the Forbidden City？
　　Two words popped into Ye Qiu’s mind——
　　Rebellion！
　　No, today’s society is not like ancient times. Even if the Forbidden City controls the one million troops in the North through Xiao Jiu, it is impossible to rebel.
　　If they really do this, then the Forbidden City is digging its own grave.
　　Today’s system will not allow a force to become the master of the world.
　　So what does the Forbidden City want to do？
　　Suddenly, a light flashed in Ye Qiu’s mind, and he thought of a sentence.
　　Holding the emperor to order the dukes！
　　The Forbidden City wants to control Old Tang by controlling the one million troops in the North and its own strength, making Old Tang, the person in power, a mere figurehead.
　　Although they do not rebel, they still have the final say in the affairs of the world.
　　What a great ambition！
　　A chill rose in Ye Qiu’s heart, and he turned his head to look at Old Man Ye and the Military God.
　　The expressions of the two old men were more serious than ever. Presumably, they also guessed the ambition of the Forbidden City.
　　Ye Qiu’s gaze then moved to Xiao Jiu.
　　Champion Marquis, Champion Marquis, if you really collude with the Forbidden City, you will become a sinner through the ages.
　　Xiao Jiu did not answer Long Yi’s words for a long time.
　　Boom！
　　There was a loud explosion.
　　The sedan chair was torn apart.
　　The figure of Long Yi appeared.
　　Ye Qiu looked up and saw that Long Yi was sitting upright, and his face looked like that of a sixty or seventy-year-old man.
　　He has a square face, a ruddy complexion, and his long black hair is tied up with a golden crown.
　　Long Yi was wearing a bright yellow imperial robe with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it. He was stepping on a pair of black boots with dragon patterns, looking like an ancient emperor.
　　Standing　high　above.
　　Long Yi’s eyes were like electricity as he shouted at Xiao Jiu, “Why did you come back at this time？”
　　Xiao Jiu said, “The disciple learned that the master was in trouble and the Forbidden City was in danger, so I rushed back to help the master.”
　　“Bullshit！” Long Yi Shout . “Just a few ants. It’s simpler for this master to kill them than to crush an ant. How could there be a difficult situation？”
　　“Why did you come back exactly？”
　　“Tell　the　truth！”
　　Xiao Jiu raised his head, looked straight into Long Yi’s eyes, and said loudly, “The grace of the master in cultivating the disciple, the disciple will never forget.”
　　“Today the disciple came back to persuade the master.”
　　“Peace in the world is hard-won.”
The Forbidden City is just a force. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot override the imperial power.
　　“Moreover, the Forbidden City should stay in its place and stay away from the grudges in the Jianghu.”
　　“Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.”
“Youdaoplaceholder0!” Long Yi angrily scolded Xiao Jiu: “It’s not up to you to dictate what your master does.”
　　“I order you to return to the Northern Realm immediately.”
　　“Your master can pretend that nothing has happened.”
　　Alas！
　　Xiao Jiu sighed and said, “I knew that my master wouldn’t listen to my good advice.”
　　“This time I returned to the capital, I didn’t think about going back to the Northland again.”
　　“Master,　I’m　sorry.”
　　Dong　dong　dong！
　　Xiao Jiu kowtowed three times to Long Yi, stood up from the ground, and released a monstrous fighting spirit on his body.
　　“Xiao Jiu, what do you mean？”
　　Long Yi Angrily said ： “Do you want to kill your master？”
