There was a moment of silence in Fengniao Hall.
All eyes fell on Xu Qing, and Princess Anhai's expression also changed.
In fact, the imperial capital's bell rang nine times, which was the ultimate. It meant that something big had happened, and the consequences were extremely serious. At this time, the human emperor's personal guards came here to summon Xu Qing to the palace immediately.
.
It seemed like an invitation, but the solemnity of these golden-armored guards could clearly be seen as a sign of solemnity.
The most important thing is that if you get involved in this whirlpool and think to the extreme, you may be killed if you are not careful.
Even if Xu Qing has an amazing background and owns half of the domain, if the matter involved is related to the lifeline of the human race, then in the judgment of the Human Emperor, there is no need to say more about what is more important.
So Princess Anhai's expression changed. She was hesitant at first, but soon her eyes showed decisiveness. She stood up and spoke coldly.
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Princess An Hai spoke, the golden-armored guards were unmoved and still looked at Xu Qing, but one of them took a step forward and bowed to Princess An Hai.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the emperor's order."
"What happened that requires Xu Zun to enter the palace now?" Princess Anhai frowned and looked at the guard who was speaking. She wanted to help Xu Qing find out the reason. This was the only thing she could do for Xu Qing.
If the reason is known in advance, it will be easier for Xu Qing to arrange and handle it later.
The guard hesitated, looked around, then looked at the stern look on Princess Anhai's face, took a few steps forward, and sent a message.
These words, which outsiders could not hear, made Princess Anhai's body tremble, her breathing became rapid, and her complexion changed again. Then she looked at Xu Qing complicatedly and fell silent.
Xu Qing looked at all this and was thinking about what went wrong in his heart. Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, his expression did not change in any way. At this moment, he stood up calmly, walked forward, and came to the group of people.
Among the golden-armored guards.
These golden-armored guards were scattered in front and behind Xu Qing. They seemed to be escorting him, but they also had the intention of escorting him as they walked out of the hall.
The moment she was about to step out of the hall, Princess Anhai bit her silver teeth, moved her lips slightly, and sent a message to Xu Qing.
"The guard just told me that he didn't know much, he only knew... that the Palace of Creation was sealed and suspected of being stolen!"
Xu Qing paused, turned around and held his hands, then walked out of the hall and walked towards the palace.
In the imperial capital at night, heavy rain continued, and thunder roared from time to time in the sky. Normally at this time and in this weather, there would be very few people going out, but it was different tonight.
Xu Qing saw a large number of guards on this rainy night, hurriedly moving forward. Their destinations were scattered, and it was difficult for ordinary people to figure it out. However, Xu Qing, who was a murderer, gradually saw some clues.
"This seems to be a spread of lockdowns."
"Sealing the imperial capital?"
Xu Qing pondered, recalling Princess Anhai's message, thinking about this matter in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was his senior brother.
After all, based on his understanding of Erniu, the possibility that the other party went to the Palace of Creation to steal something is not small. Although it is very irrational to do so, and if the captain does it, it will not reveal such a big flaw, which will make the case
Trace it to yourself.
Therefore, after this idea emerged in Xu Qing's mind, he dismissed it.
"So, after ruling out this, what was stolen from the Creation Palace that would make the Human Emperor summon me immediately?"
Xu Qing thought, and he thought of the Sun of Dawn, which was the only place in his body that seemed to others to have some connection with the Palace of Creation.
After all, I also have the Sun of Dawn.
But he had already explained this matter clearly in the palace before, so he should not be summoned to discuss the resulting relationship.
"So, it's the people around me who are involved?"
There are many directions, Xu Qing pondered, but he couldn't find a precise answer until he lacked accurate clues.
The distance also shortened rapidly in Xu Qing's thinking. Soon, as lightnings fell down, a group of them arrived at the Rainbow Bridge. The palace in the distance suddenly became clear under the light of lightning.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he saw another group of golden-armored guards escorting someone into the palace gate.
It was Ning Yan.
The answer is already clear. Ning Yan was involved in the theft of the Palace of Creation, and the lost items should be extremely important. The Sun of Dawn is the most likely.
But if this is the case, there are a lot of clues about this matter.
First of all, Xu Qing knew that Ning Yan had been practicing almost all of this time.
Secondly, with Ning Yan's cultivation level, how could he possibly do such a big thing and not escape after it happened.
Finally, if the Dawn Sun was really stolen, the matter would be even more absurd.
The Sun of Dawn is a valuable treasure of the human race. How can it be stolen easily? It must be protected with great care. There is no need to put it in the Palace of Creation where it is stored.
These thoughts emerged in Xu Qing's mind, and his eyes became gloomy as he walked towards the palace until he came to Chengxian Square in front of the palace.
The square was surrounded by golden-armored monks with strong murderous intent, making the overall atmosphere extremely depressing.
There was even more thunder roaring in the sky, and the suppressive feeling of the power of heaven and man combined made the rain tremble as it fell.
Also trembling was Ning Yan.
At this moment, he was pressed on the shoulders by two golden-armored guards, and he knelt in the square, letting the rain fall and soak his whole body.
He was nervous in his heart and confused in his eyes. He didn't know what happened. While he was practicing in his mother's ancestral hall, he was rushed in by the palace guards and was forcibly brought away.
And there was not only him, but many others kneeling there.
They were all monks from the Palace of Creation, almost dozens of them.
There was another one among them, the Ninth Prince. He was also pushed to his knees by two golden-armored guards. He lowered his head and looked bitter.
The moment Xu Qing arrived and walked into the palace gate, the eyes of the guards gathered around him, and they followed him to the escorting people.
Seeing Xu Qing, Ning Yan felt hope rising in his heart, but he was also surprised and extremely worried.
Xu Qing looked at Ning Yan, nodded slightly, said nothing, and stood aside.
The golden-armored guard behind him was about to raise his hand to press his shoulder when Xu Qing turned around and took a calm look.
Under his gaze, the two guards fell silent, and finally bowed and stepped back.
So Xu Qing became the only one standing among this group of people, and the rain did not fall on him and dissipated above his head.
Time passed slowly, and the thunder became louder and louder.
From time to time, figures hurriedly came from outside and entered the palace hall in front. The hall was brightly lit and a ceremony was going on.
At the same time, the formation of the Imperial Capital has been fully activated, covering the entire Imperial Capital and completely sealing it off. You can only enter, but cannot exit.
Xu Qing closed his eyes, his thoughts turned, and he confirmed his guess in his heart.
Until it was almost dawn, an old figure walked out of the palace hall, it was Dazai.
He stood in front of the temple, lowered his head and looked down at the square below. His eyes swept over the people who were kneeling in worship. After a while, his voice echoed in a low voice.
"Tonight, the Palace of Creation was stolen. A Sun of Dawn, which was placed in a specific formation in the Palace of Creation and was allowed to be used to study and improve its power, was lost."
"You, you, are the suspects in the preliminary investigation."
"Especially the Twelfth Prince."
Dazai's voice echoed, and the last words were extremely harsh. The moment they were heard, thunder exploded from the sky, causing roars in all directions.
Ning Yan was even more shocked and raised his head with an expression of disbelief.
"Impossible, I have never been to the Palace of Creation, I..."
He was about to speak, but the next moment, a cold snort came from the palace.
This voice surpassed the thunder of heaven, shook the square, and made everyone feel shaken. It was the voice of the Human Emperor.
"Dazai, show this evidence to this scoundrel!"
The Dazai in front of the palace raised his right hand after hearing this, and a jade slip floated out and fell into the air, shining brightly, forming a scene.
In the picture, there is a secret place, which is a bit blurry and distorted. Only the retreating back figure is very clear.
The back figure was similar to that of Ning Yan. At the moment when the scene was about to end and the figure was about to disappear, he paused slightly and turned around, revealing his side face.
Exactly the same as Ning Yan!
Then, all the images disappeared, and a breath formed in Dazai's pinch.
This aura belongs to Ning Yan.
"This is the picture seen from the years after the King of Heaven cast a spell to look back at the time of the Palace of Creation and reverse it."
"As for the breath, it is drawn from time by the Imperial Capital's grand formation concentrated in the Palace of Creation."
"During the process, under the eyes of the emperor."
After saying that, the Dazai bowed his head, and the Emperor's cold voice came from inside the palace.
"Niezi, what else do you have to say."
Ning Yan was at a loss. He didn't know about this and had never done it, but that face and aura pointed all the fingers at him.
At this moment, in the distant horizon, the early sun rises. Although the dark clouds are filled and the heavy rain is still heavy, the light of the early sun is still released with all its strength, spreading its light to the world and also falling on Chengxian Square.
In the thick of the night, a big bell appeared out of thin air and hung in the sky in the square.
That's asking for the fairy bell.
When asked about the Immortal Bell, Ning Yan wanted to say something, but the evidence was overwhelming and he had no way to defend himself, so he could only laugh miserably.
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the palace. He had seen the previous scene, but there were too many doubts here. He did not believe that the Human Emperor would ignore this, so he took a few steps and stood beside Ning Yan. He was about to
Open your mouth.
Ning Yan grabbed the corner of Xu Qing's clothes, slowly raised his head, his expression was a little distorted, with disappointment in the Human Emperor and anger in his eyes for this absurd thing, he looked at the palace and roared.
"Father, I know you don't like me!"
"I know that in your heart, I, the twelve sons, are dispensable."
"I don't have good qualifications, I can't speak, I'm not lovable, and no one wants to get close to me. I don't care about these things!"
Ning Yan's voice was hoarse and his emotions fluctuated violently, echoing in the square, and his body slowly stood up from kneeling in worship!
The meaning of this act of standing up was unprecedented for him. It meant that he had suppressed his innate fear of his father and emperor, and suppressed his awe for the human emperor.
He shattered his submissiveness and let out a roar that had been suppressed for many years in the rain.
"Father, you are as high as the clouds in the sky, but in your eyes I am as humble as the mud, but so what, this is my home, and it is not my home. Compared to this place, I am more
I like Fenghai County, and compared to the surname of the prince Guyue, I prefer the identity of Ning Yan!"
"If you hadn't called me back this time, I would never have come back!"
"And today, something unreasonable is being imposed on me, and I... don't accept it!"
"I, Ning Yan, have never done this!"
"Ask the Immortal as proof!"
Ning Yan roared, stood up completely, and slammed the Wenxian Bell above him.
The sound of the bell echoed in the square with a rich feeling.
Prove what you say, prove your true intentions.
