A finger slowly moved over the bolts, pausing for a moment as it passed over the runes.Gu Pan withdrew his fingers and looked at the cloud ships in the sky, the emotions in his eyes were a little complicated.He is now the deputy commander of the Chaoge City Divine Guard, and his position sounds the same as back then, but in fact, he has been promoted by several levels, and he can be called a high-ranking position.But after all, he was born in the Zhongzhou faction, and now he is responsible for defending against the invasion of the Zhongzhou faction, which is a ridiculous thing no matter how you look at it.It's just that there are too many people like him in the court and in the army, and it is impossible for the court to dismiss all of them because they are afraid of the Zhongzhou faction.In the higher city gate tower, Zhang Yiai, the commander of the Qingtian Division, was also looking at the sky, and there was no superfluous emotion in his slightly squinted eyes.He was also from the Zhongzhou faction, but after the Demon Suppression Prison Incident, he had gradually distanced himself from Yunmeng Mountain and became the most loyal minister of the God Emperor.More than a dozen huge cloud ships brought a huge shadow to Chaoge City, and also cast a great shadow in everyone's hearts.It is obvious that the Zhongzhou faction is to suppress people with force.No matter how strong Chaoge City's defense is, it is impossible to withstand such a formation, not to mention that there are too many people in the imperial court who are interested in Yunmeng Mountain, who knows how many officials in the Qingtian Division, the Divine Guard Army, and those ministries will defect at the most critical moment?
Zhang Yiai was silent, ready to die in battle.Unlike other ministers and generals, he has no possibility of returning to Yunmeng Mountain.But even if he dies in battle, he will let Chaoge City hold out for a while longer, until the gentlemen of Yimaozhai come out to administer justice, until the Qingshan Sword Boat appears in the southern sky, and until His Majesty the God Emperor leaves safely.The problem is that the Zhongzhou faction can't hide such a big battle from anyone at all, and they don't want to hide it from the people of the world.The imperial court knew three days ago, why did Qingshan never come?
He retracted his gaze, looked at the city wall, saw Gu Pan next to the crossbow, and after a moment of silence, he explained a few words to the deputy commander beside him.For this situation, the Jing Dynasty has long been prepared, and the Divine Guard Army and the Qing Tiansi have conducted an unknown number of drills over the years, and they did it once during the Demon Suppression Prison Incident.Under the suppression of heavy cavalry and flying chariots, the chaos in Asahika City was quickly alleviated, and the residents began to evacuate outside the city in an orderly manner.Especially the deep mansion compound near the imperial city was quickly empty.With the help of Taichang Temple and the Gu family's guards, the people of the Jing family successfully left Chaoge City and came to Zhao Yuan outside the city.Now the entire Chaotian Continent knows that Jing Jiu is either a sword demon of all things, or the reincarnation of a real person in Jingyang, and has nothing to do with the Jing Mansion in Chaoge City, but no one dares to embarrass them.Lord Zhao was full of white hair, but his spirit was excellent, he made a junior salute to the old lady Jing, and then walked to the pond with the well merchant, looked at the cloud boats in the sky, and said with a worried face: "It is estimated that Chaoge City will not be able to hold it, you will rest for a while, and you have to continue to go south." ”Jing Shang's sideburns also added a lot of gray hair, and his spirit was also good, he was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, aren't you leaving?"
”The Qingshan Sect is the foundation of the Jing and Zhao families, and the Jing family continues to go south to Qingshan."
If Chaoge City falls into the hands of the Zhongzhou faction, what's the point of retreating to Qingshan?"
A ruthless color flashed in Lord Zhao's eyes, and he said, "I don't believe it, Qingshan will watch them be so arrogant!"
”Jing Shang was silent for a while, and said, "Then I will send my father and them to Zhuozhou, and then come back to have a look with you." ”………… Gu Pan finished checking the crossbow on the city wall, walked down the narrow ladder on the side of the city wall for more than ten zhang, and turned to the right to enter a secret door.There is a tunnel in the secret door, leading to the city wall, where there is a large space, which is arranged with various magic weapons, and the walls are carved with runes, and the lines drawn by cold silver are continuously entered into the city wall.This large array stretched for more than ten miles, not to provide indestructible mana to the walls of Chaoge City, but to provide vitality for those divine crossbows on the city walls.If someone destroys it here, the crossbow in the song city will not be fired a few times, and it will turn into a pile of broken copper and iron.It stands to reason that even if Gu Pan is the commander of the Divine Guard, because of the background of the Zhongzhou faction, he will not be allowed to enter here at such a critical moment.It can only be said that the God Emperor really trusts him.Moreover, according to the rules of the imperial court, no one can enter this place alone, and three qualified ministers must be gathered to enter at the same time.There were two people accompanying Gu Pan, one of whom was the deputy commander of the Qing Heavenly Division, and there was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who held the small seal of the forbidden array.Standing on the high stone platform, looking at the forbidden array below, his gaze gradually rose with those cold silver lines, as if he wanted to see through the city wall, and saw those divine crossbows, and he didn't know what he was thinking.The deputy commander of the Qingtian Division glanced at him and didn't say anything.The head of the ceremonial department was a little pale and looked a little nervous.The forbidden array suddenly gave birth to an induction, and in the clear light diffuse, a small black dot could be clearly seen, coming from the south at an unimaginable speed.Judging from the size, that black dot can't be Qingshan Sword Boat, could it be that Yuan Riding a Whale or Fang Jingtian came with a single sword?
Or is it someone else?
Gu Pan raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his right hand, and prepared to order the Divine Guard Army to strengthen its defenses.The deputy commander of the Qingtian Division glanced at him again meaningfully, and said, "It's the Supreme Elder of Shuiyue Nunnery, don't be nervous." ”Gu Pan's right hand was withdrawn from the air and landed on the railing, his knuckles slightly white.………… Coming from the south was a small sedan chair with a blue curtain.The divine crossbow on the city wall was not launched, and the imperial city array also opened a passage, allowing the blue curtain sedan chair to stop in front of the main hall of the palace like a fallen leaf.Countless lines of sight looked from inside the temple, from under the palace walls, and from behind the pillars.The blue curtain cloth of the small sedan chair moved slightly, and people were a little curious, thinking that the Supreme Elder, who had never seen anyone, was he going to show his true face today?
Why did she come here?
Because of these cloud ships sent by Zhongzhou or something else?
Nanzheng walked out of the blue curtain sedan chair, his face was a little pale, and the silver bell on his wrist made a crisp sound.People knew that this was definitely not the Supreme Elder of the Water Moon Temple, because her realm and age were very low, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised.Nanzheng came to the hall and knelt down and said, "Jing Xin was taken away by Tan Zhenren, and he should be coming to Chaoge City." ”Hearing this, the ministers and generals in the palace were in an uproar and looked at the highest place one after another.The Divine Emperor looked quietly into the distance, his expression did not change at all, as if he had already calculated the matter.The Imperial City Great Array has been opened, and even the cloud ships of the Zhongzhou faction are difficult to attack.The ministers in the hall were quite calm, but they still couldn't be as calm as His Majesty the Divine Emperor.Their gaze followed the Divine Emperor into the distance, passing through the incomparably wide square, passing through the invisible formation barrier, and landing on an extremely high eaves tall building outside the Imperial City.That tall building is Yingtianmen in the south of the city.In the clear and cloudless sky, the cloud ship of the Zhongzhou faction is a cloud.There is also a cloud on Yingtianmen.There is a faint figure in the clouds, and the white skirt occasionally floats out of the clouds, bringing out a few traces of silk, which is the white real person of the Zhongzhou faction.............
"That's all for today's court meeting, let's go back." ”The God Emperor withdrew his gaze into the distance, looked at the people in the hall and said with a smile.There are many factions in the Jing Dynasty, and the high-ranking officials in the hall naturally have their own positions, some support Prince Jingyao, some still miss Prince Jingxin, some are from the Zhongzhou faction, and some have studied in Yimaozhai for many years.But listening to this sentence, no matter what the position, the officials felt a deep sadness.This should be His Majesty's last court meeting.Prime Minister Cen slowly walked out of the queue, then slowly knelt down and made a big salute to His Majesty the God Emperor, his white hair was like snow.Immediately afterwards, the ministers of the state and the ministers of the central government and the generals of the Divine Guard Army came out in turn, kneeling down in front of the imperial chair, no matter what faction it was, they were all sincere.The God Emperor didn't seem to think of this picture, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly and said: "I have been detained in this palace for more than three hundred years, and now it seems that it is not a loss. ”After saying this, he got up and left the imperial chair and came to the courtiers, first helping up the old prime minister Cen and then slowly helping up the rest of the ministers.When he picked up the last deputy commander of the Northern God Guard, who was still young, the military general who killed people in the north without blinking an eye was already in tears, and it was difficult to stand firmly.Under the gaze of the courtiers, the Divine Emperor walked outside the hall, looked into the distance and asked, "Has this begun?"
”His voice was like the sunshine of spring, warm but far-reaching, floating in the grand imperial city, and then spreading to Yingtianmen, more than ten miles away.Bai Zhenren stood on the Yingtian Gate, and the clouds and mist around him gradually dispersed, revealing an indescribable face.She said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the Zhongzhou faction has always respected you, so nothing will start until you leave." ”The Divine Emperor took his hand behind, his yellow robe fluttered lightly, and said with a smile: "After I leave, what can the Zhongzhou faction do?"
”"Why should Your Majesty be like this?
We all know what to expect. ”Bai Zhenren said: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, the major sects, from merchants to the common people, who will accept a son of a fox demon to become the god emperor of the human race?"
”In the room on the side of the main hall, Hu Guifei and Prince Jing Yao were watching this conversation by the window, which was more than ten miles apart, and when they heard Bai Zhenren's voice, Hu Guifei's face showed a touch of anger, but Jing Yao was very calm, and held his mother's hand with his backhand.Hu Guifei's expression was slightly gloomy, and then a thick sadness appeared in her eyes.The ministers in the palace didn't react much, everyone knew what the demands of the Zhongzhou faction were, the officials with the background of the Zhongzhou faction remained silent, and those officials who held the opposite view could only be silent.Bai Zhenren continued: "We will not force Your Majesty to change the edict and abolish the crown prince, in short, we will not do anything, you can go back calmly." ”Hearing this, there was a dead silence in the palace.She talked about the return, and talked about the edict and the abolition of the prince.That's what it all says.()
