Although Emperor Jianwu made sufficient arrangements in the royal tomb, when it came to the altar and his great cause of becoming an immortal, he would not be at ease no matter how much preparation he made.
Even Emperor Jianwu, who was suspicious by nature, couldn't help but wonder if there was a mole in Wang Ling who provoked the thieves?
Otherwise, why would these thieves go to the royal tomb instead of going to the Ancestral Temple?
Once this thought came together, I couldn't stop it.
The anxious Emperor Jianwu suddenly raised his right hand, but without seeing what he did, a gash appeared in the palm of his hand, like a ferocious mouth.
A stream of dark red blood surged out from the opening.
As if Emperor Jianwu couldn't feel the pain, he raised his right hand and danced it quickly. The blood that flowed out condensed in mid-air. Instead of dripping, it hung in the air, forming a strange blood talisman.
After the blood talisman was drawn, Emperor Jianwu recited a few incantations quickly, and then ordered: "You guys rush to the royal tomb immediately to see what is going on. Capture the intruders and throw them into the wine pool and meat forest, and wait until the big sacrifice begins.
, offer food to the gods!”
The blood talisman split open and turned into a rain of blood falling down.
One by one, small bloody figures emerged from the bloody water that fell on the ground, as if they were born from the blood of Emperor Jianwu.
They have strange shapes, ferocious faces, and take orders with strange accents.
Seeing this scene, the concubine on the bed in the palace turned pale with fright. She wanted to scream but did not dare to scream. She could only hold on to the edge of the quilt and tremble.
The next moment, these bloody men floated out of the palace.
Standing outside the palace, the eunuch responsible for serving Emperor Jianwu heard the roar coming from the palace. He was hesitant to ask what happened when he suddenly saw a bloody man coming out of the crack in the door. He was immediately frightened.
He jumped, and subconsciously opened his mouth to call for the guards to come and rescue him.
Seeing them open their mouths, these bloody men jumped into their mouths with lightning speed, cheering and sucked up all their blood in an instant.
Before the eunuchs could even shout for help, they turned into corpses.
After the bloody men sucked up the eunuchs, they emerged from their valleys, fled into the ground, and disappeared.
When the guards arrived, all the eunuchs outside the palace were dead.
The guards were frightened by the eunuch's appearance and were about to rush into the palace to check on Emperor Jianwu's safety, but the door to the palace opened on its own.
Immediately afterwards, a huge suction force came from the dormitory, sucking in the corpses of the eunuchs that had been transformed into human bodies.
The guards stimulated their blood energy and stabilized their bodies, and then they saw Emperor Jianwu standing next to an alchemy furnace in the palace.
The corpses of those eunuchs were directly sucked into the flames below the alchemy furnace, becoming fuel for the powerful furnace fire.
When the guards outside the palace saw this scene, they felt horrified and their scalps went numb.
I wanted to ask what happened here, but I didn't dare to ask.
At the same time, sharp-eyed guards discovered that the concubine who was sleeping with him was also missing. I wonder if she was thrown into the fire and became a consumable like these eunuchs?
They were surprised when they suddenly heard Emperor Jianwu shouting:
"Get out of my way!"
Before the guards could react, they saw Emperor Jianwu leaping onto the stove top.
The flames at the bottom of the furnace erupted powerfully at this moment, causing the alchemy furnace to lift off like a rocket, carrying Emperor Jianwu directly out of the palace at an extremely fast speed.
One of the guards was unable to dodge, and was first knocked away by the alchemy furnace, and then was wrapped in the flames ejected from the bottom of the furnace. He instantly became a burning man and was sucked into the bottom of the furnace.
The guard screamed a few times at first, but soon became silent. Like the eunuchs, he became fuel for the alchemy furnace.
The guards outside the palace were shocked when they saw this, and they hid one after another, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of their companions and become fuel for the alchemy furnace.
At the same time, they were also filled with horror.
Although they were palace guards, they had no idea that the alchemy furnace that Emperor Jianwu guarded every day was so weird.
Not only can you make elixirs, but you can also carry people on flights. The material used is not coal, but people!
So, the eunuchs and maids who disappeared in the palace in the past all entered this alchemy furnace and became fuel slag?
While these guards were speculating in panic, Emperor Jianwu had already stepped on the alchemy furnace, flew into the night sky, and flew straight out of the palace.
The guards were in an uproar.
They didn't know where Emperor Jianwu was going after staying up in the middle of the night.
If you want to chase him, Emperor Jianwu has already stepped on the alchemy furnace and disappeared without a trace.
The panicked guards had no choice but to go to the commander of the imperial army and the chief eunuch in charge of rituals and ask them to make up their minds on what to do about this matter.
After all, the emperor stayed up most of the night and flew out of the palace on his alchemy furnace. They had never encountered such a strange thing before.
Emperor Jianwu, who was flying into the sky with his feet on the alchemy furnace, was rushing to the royal tomb.
Although he sent the bloody men, he still felt uneasy in his heart. After some weighing, he decided to go to Wang Ling in person to see what happened and who dared to go to Wang Ling to ruin his good deeds.
As soon as Emperor Jianwu flew out of the palace, many people noticed him.
Some people were surprised and didn't understand what Emperor Jianwu wanted to do when he left the palace in the middle of the night.
Some people are happy and think this is a good opportunity to eliminate traitors for the country.
Some people, such as Lu Bing and Xu Jianzheng, immediately realized that it must be the actions of Qin Shaoyou and others that alerted Emperor Jianwu.
To make Emperor Jianwu so anxious is enough to show that Qin Shaoyou and others found the right place and stabbed Emperor Jianwu within seven inches.
While the two were overjoyed, they immediately made up their mind to help Qin Shaoyou and the others.
At least it was to delay Emperor Jianwu and buy more time for Qin Shaoyou and others to take action.
Lu Bing jumped up from the bed, took out three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them in front of a statue of a god in the bedroom.
This statue is only about an inch tall, looks gray, and has nothing special about it.
However, after adding incense to Lu Bing and urging the soul to leave the body and attach itself to the statue, the gray statue immediately glowed with golden light and grew rapidly.
In an instant, the statue turned into a two-meter-tall, mighty general wearing golden armor. He looked lifelike and like a real person.
Lu Bing controlled it, pinched the magic formula with his hands, and escaped without a trace.
The Jishichang fanzi who was guarding outside the Lu Mansion was completely unaware from the beginning to the end.
A similar situation is happening in Qintian Prison.
It was not convenient for Xu Jianzheng to take action directly, but like Lu Bing, he had other means to hold back Emperor Jianwu.
As for the editor sent to monitor him, they became his "alibi" witnesses.
At the same time, outside the capital, in Wuzhao Mountain.
Officials and monks hidden in the mountains also immediately noticed the earthquake coming from the royal tomb and the strange things happening in the capital.
They hurriedly found Cai Guizhong and asked:
"Cai Chenghuang, you have many eyes and ears in the capital, do you know what happened?"
Cai Guizhong really knew the details: "Your Excellency, they discovered the trace of Prince Sixiu in the royal tomb and are launching a rescue operation. Emperor Jianwu probably noticed this situation and tried to stop him."
"What?"
"We have to stop this foolish king!"
"That's right, even if we risk our lives, we can't let him hurt Sixiu or damage the country!"
These officials and monks had already made up their mind to abolish the establishment. To them, Sixiu was the new king, and nothing could happen to him no matter what.
They immediately made a decision to stop Emperor Jianwu with all their strength.
Although their strength has not yet been fully restored, by gathering the strength of everyone, even if they cannot defeat Emperor Jianwu, they can still do it by entangling him and holding him back.
Many people inside and outside the capital began to take action.
The entire Gyeonggi area was as chaotic as Li Yunlong's attack on Ping'an City.
