Xiao Guizi "died suddenly" in the palace. The death of a eunuch is common in the palace.
No one cares at all.
Except for Eunuch Cao and a few others, not many people knew that the Emperor Tongguang who was sitting on the dragon throne at the beginning was actually a eunuch.
Of course, at first, Xiao Guizi only occasionally replaced Tongguang Emperor.
But later, Emperor Tongguang disappeared for longer and longer, and Xiao Guizi's time as emperor also became longer and longer.
When the Star Federation brazenly invaded Da Jing, Emperor Tongguang and Xiao Guizi were almost 50-50 emperors of each other.
Later, Emperor Tongguang had less and less time to actually appear in front of people.
Xiao Guizi became the de facto emperor.
What ability can a young eunuch have in handling state affairs?
The court hall was naturally in chaos.
Fortunately, when Emperor Tongguang was around, he was not much better than Xiao Guizi.
The difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.
The civil and military officials just felt that the emperor was becoming more and more stupid and did not become suspicious.
But he was the emperor after all, so Xiao Guizi gradually learned to gather power - starting with the maids and eunuchs in the palace.
His ambition is growing.
Immediately afterwards, due to the cession of territory and the request for peace and compensation, Da Jing and the Star Federation ceased war, and Elsa entered the Imperial City not long after.
Then, everything changed for the second time.
Xiao Guizi began to notice that the palace was becoming increasingly deserted.
Many palace maids and eunuchs are disappearing!
At first, he thought his behavior to win people's hearts had been discovered, and he was trembling with fear.
It was soon discovered that this matter was not against him, but simply missing. The maids, eunuchs, and people living in the palace, including the concubines, were all disappearing.
Xiao Guizi didn't know why, and because she was scared, she told Eunuch Cao about the matter.
Little did he know that Eunuch Cao smiled strangely and said there was no need to worry, everything was under control.
These people are not dead, but have devoted themselves to His Majesty's great plan.
Because Xiao Guizi was the puppet emperor who was pushed to the forefront, as Emperor Tongguang retreated behind the scenes for longer and longer, his identity became more and more important.
Therefore, Eunuch Cao appropriately revealed some news to Xiao Guizi.
Emperor Tongguang's "Eternal Kingdom" plan - Emperor Tongguang will create an eternal peace so that all his people can achieve eternal life!
He wants to create an eternal dynasty, be the emperor for eternity, and be the real "Long Live"!
It sounds wonderful.
However, Xiao Guizi was fortunate or unfortunate to have been to Meishan.
I have seen the prototype of Emperor Tongguang's so-called "Immortal Age" and seen that terrifying scene.
That's hell!
Emperor Tongguang is crazy, and so is the sorceress!
His adoptive father, Eunuch Cao, is also crazy!
Many people are crazy!
Only he, Xiao Guizi, is still normal.
When the Demon Lord came to the world and swept away all the demons and demons, Xiao Guizi felt for a moment that this was a punishment from God.
Therefore, he was very careless about annihilating the Demon Lord, and even had a slight expectation in his heart that the Demon Lord would come to the imperial city and sweep across the world.
The civil and military officials, for one, were immersed in the fantasy of the superior country and were unwilling to pull out their heads. They hypnotized themselves: The demon lord only has one ear. I will get serious and destroy this beast in an instant.
Secondly, they are afraid of taking responsibility and dare not speak out about the devil. If you don’t speak, it will be fine. If you speak and fail, the consequences will be serious. The officials may not have the courage to deal with the devil, but they can use the hands of the devil to do it.
They are sworn political enemies and have the courage to engage in party disputes, and they are very bold.
Therefore, the issue of mobilizing the army to annihilate the demon lord is the same as Xiao Guizi's below. It seems to exist, but if you look closely, it does not exist at all.
After Xia Yanzhen entered the imperial city, he could still reach the palace unimpeded.
This is the consequence of inaction.
But even if he did it, he couldn't stop Xia Yanzhen from flying to the imperial city.
At most, when he arrived at the imperial city, the large army formed to stop him for a while, that was all.
If a million-strong army were to be mobilized to hunt down Xia Yanzhen, Xia Yanzhen would be able to drag down the million-strong army alive and kill him without even using his hands.
In short, from the outside world, the Demon Lord is a disaster.
But in Xiao Guizi's heart, there may be hope of salvation.
So he took a gamble, and he got it right. The Demon Lord was not like the sorceress. He came to prevent the Goddess from coming!
After listening to Xiao Guizi's words, Xia Yanzhen frowned slightly: "How does Emperor Tongguang achieve his immortality?"
"The heir...the heir born from the Holy Mother." Xiao Guizi said, "As long as you eat the heir born from the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, you can live forever. This is what my adoptive father told me."
"Well--"
Xia Yan really remembered that Xiao Guizi was an eunuch.
So that’s it.
As a eunuch, Xiao Guizi had no way to join in this great immortality plan, so she was not the same person as Emperor Tongguang.
"Where is Meishan?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Meishan is in the Royal Hunting Garden, to the east of the city -" Xiao Guizi said.
"Lead the way." Xia Yanzhen said.
As long as the little eunuch didn't lie, Meishan would have killed both the Emperor of Light and the sorceress Elsa, and the mission would be over.
Xia Yanzhen had no intention of turning the palace upside down.
According to Xiao Guizi, the palace is now an empty shell, with only an outer layer of skin to keep the "lintel from falling."
If you really dig deep inside, you will find that there is nothing.
The real "New Imperial Palace" is in Meishan.
Xia Yanzhen was about to walk out of the hall with Xiao Guizi. Suddenly, he turned to look at Eunuch Cao's body: "Is he also a eunuch?"
"Well, yes." Xiao Guizi didn't understand why the Demon Lord asked such a question, but still answered honestly.
"Then he is very loyal to Emperor Tongguang?"
"My foster father is a veteran of three dynasties and is loyal to the royal family." Xiao Guizi sighed.
To be honest, Eunuch Cao treated him well. If he hadn't gone crazy with the emperor, he would have gone insane.
He didn't want to sell Eunuch Cao either.
The Demon Lord is also very scary!
"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen glanced at Eunuch Cao again and left the hall first.
Outside the main hall is the White Jade Square.
Empty.
Without the emperor's order, the imperial guards would not come to die.
Xiao Guizi looked at the huge and cold square with a dazed look on her face. She finally reached this step.
Da Jing, will it be over?
The best outcome is that the Demon Lord, Emperor Tongguang, and the sorceress die together, and then he can come back as his emperor, which would be perfect.
Almost, once the Great Calm is over, he can spend the rest of his life peacefully, at least he won't become a madman and then die.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, the originally dark sky cast a large shadow.
Xiao Guizi looked up and almost fell to the ground.
A huge creature descended from the sky, and a pair of cold, cruel eyes from above were looking at him.
Although there seemed to be flames dancing in those eyes, they did not feel the slightest bit warm.
All that can be seen is complete ice coldness.
"This, this..." Xiao Guizi was speechless.
Heavenly demon!
The legendary demon!
When the demon lord is not full of murderous intent, looking at his appearance and posture, any prince or nobleman in the imperial city who is as good as jade will look like a chicken or a dog compared to him.
This gave Xiao Guizi unnecessary fantasies.
I thought the sky demon might be pretty good-looking too, like a giant white fox or tiger.
He was rumored to be a terrible monster.
Now that I have seen Tiamat with my own eyes, I realize that the rumors are worse than meeting in person.
The Heavenly Demon is even more terrifying than the Demon Lord.
"Let's go to Meishan." Xia Yanzhen grabbed Xiao Guizi and threw it on Tiamat's back.
For a moment, Tiamat flapped her wings and soared into the sky.
The imperial guards near the palace gate saw the monsters in the sky and remained silent.
They are loyal guardsmen, waiting for orders from His Majesty the Emperor.
They will never act rashly without an order!
This is due diligence and no one can blame you.
It's definitely not that you are afraid. Let the demon lord and the demon go in and out of the palace, just like walking through your own door.
By flying, it only takes a few minutes to reach the sky above Meishan Mountain.
Meishan is not high, but its scope is not small. It forms an important part of the Royal Hunting Garden and belongs to the "high-end area" of the hunting garden. It contains various beasts and centuries-old trees.
Generally, when a qi martial artist comes, you have to deal with it carefully.
It is already winter, but the Meishan area is not desolate at all. Instead, it is densely covered with trees and the vegetation is as lush as a tropical rain forest.
There was no place to set foot, let alone a road.
Xia Yanzhen asked Xiao Guizi if he could find Emperor Tongguang or the sorceress.
The last time Xiao Guizi came here was half a year ago. At that time, the vegetation was not as lush and deep as it is now.
And he was brought here by the great master Eunuch Cao.
Going up and down all the way, I felt dizzy.
It can only be determined that there is a palace in Meishan. It is unknown when it was built. Emperor Tongguang and the sorceress are both in the palace.
And he really didn't know where the palace was.
Looking down in the sky, you can't see where the palace is.
If you use a magic observation mirror to look for it, you may be able to find it, but the efficiency will not be much higher than flying in the sky and constantly observing.
Finding the location of the palace seemed to be the first problem.
Xiao Guizi looked frightened and very anxious.
Tiamat lowered the height, and Xia Yanzhen took out the Burning Throne and installed it on Tiamat.
As the throne grows bigger.
Tiamat was surrounded by a layer of black flames.
Xia Yanzhen sat on the throne and ordered: "Burn!"
Looking for a palace?
Find a fart!
If all the plum mountains are burned, won't the palace appear?
What should you do if you find a sniper on the battlefield? Send another sniper to fight him for a life-or-death sniper attack?
No, if possible, of course it will be an RPG call, covering the area with direct firepower.
Xia Yanzhen has enough firepower to cover it.
There is no need to search for the palace, the most efficient way is to search for Emperor Tongguang and the sorceress and burn them out.
Tiamat opened her mouth, and the more destructive black and white burning king's flames spurted out.
Instantly igniting the vegetation beneath him.
"Um?"
Soon, Tiamat's surprised voice sounded on the team channel, "These plants are extraordinary."
Generally speaking, in the blink of an eye, plants will be burned to ashes by black flames.
But at the moment, these plants are showing their tenacious vitality, holding on for several seconds before turning into charcoal.
And then turned into ashes.
If it were an ordinary flame, even if it was barely lit, it probably wouldn't be able to form a fire.
