As soon as he opened his eyes, the master of metaphysics became the vicious stepmother of four oil bottles Chapter 459: Confrontation in Chengqian Hall
"Since ordinary magic weapons can't hurt him, let's use some unusual methods to deal with him."
Shen Qingqing's eyebrows widened and she tilted her head to ask Si Yu, "You should have learned the art of drawing lightning, right?"
Si Yu was startled, with a look of surprise on his face, "Do you mean to cause lightning to strike him?"
"Of course." Shen Qingqing raised her lips and smiled, "Don't he claim to be invincible? Then let him have a taste of thunder."
A ghost full of evil, even if he becomes an immortal, he will still be a little grasshopper unable to jump in front of the thunder.
"You, and them..." Shen Qingqing pointed at Sicheng and others who were desperately killing ghosts, "Go to the top attic to set up an array. Meng Yuan and I can hold Si Hetai and these little ghosts down. Can we do it?"
Si Yu gestured to her with a cool gesture, "I must be able to."
After saying that, he jumped into the middle of the crowd and waved to Sicheng, "Brother, call all the brothers over, we are going to do something big."
"Come on!" Sicheng responded loudly.
A group of people broke away from the ghost crowd and rushed to the stairs leading to the top floor.
There is another group of people hiding outside the Star Reaching Pavilion.
Zhao Ying looked at the dense black clouds hanging over Zhaixing Pavilion, carefully touched Fang Zhenshan's elbow, and said in a low voice: "They seem to be fighting. Should we go to Chengqian Hall to meet Gu Jiali?"
"
Fang Zhenshan looked away with a solemn expression and nodded, "You lead them and continue to guard here, I will set off to Chengqian Hall."
"Ah? Why don't you take me with you?" Zhao Ying was unhappy.
"Because you are not stable enough." Fang Zhenshan dropped a few words and strode out of Zhaixing Pavilion.
Outside the Chengqian Palace, a palace man was hiding in a corner and looking around. When he saw Fang Zhen, he waved to him and whispered: "Old General, Master Gu is waiting for you in the side hall."
Fang Zhenshan waved to him and quickly walked into the side hall to find Gu Jiali, "The fighting is going on over there now. I guess Sikyong should have known about it. Now it depends on the emperor's attitude."
Gu Jiali nodded, immediately took him outside the emperor's palace, and knocked on the door.
The emperor didn't seem to be asleep either. He answered the door after two knocks, asked for their identities and let them in directly.
"Jia Li, what's the matter with you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" The emperor leaned on the soft pillow at the head of the bed and asked in a lazy tone. After asking, he turned his head and saw Fang Zhenshan beside him. His expression was stagnant, but he recovered after a moment.
It's normal.
"The old general is here too. I have long heard from Jiali that you arrived in the capital with Princess Linghui. However, I am ill and have never taken the time to summon you. Don't be angry with me."
Although he tried his best to put on a natural and easy-going expression, Gu Jiali still found a clue from his flickering eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, I and General Fang have something important to report to you. I hope you won't be angry after hearing this."
Gu Jiali suppressed the strange look in his eyes, and knelt in front of him with an upright posture, his eyelids were slightly drooped, and his face was filled with humility.
"Speak directly if you have something to say. I am not a stingy person." The emperor changed his sitting position, but his tone was still gentle and polite.
"Princess Linghui came to the palace urgently last night and told me that she was going to sneak into the Star Picking Pavilion secretly to steal the lost souls of the princes and princesses. I thought that the emperor's body has not recovered yet and it is not appropriate to work too hard, so I suppressed the matter without authorization."
The emperor's body froze, and his black eyes froze like a frozen lake. After a long time, he came back to his senses and asked with suppressed anger: "Where is Princess Linghui now?"
Gu Jiali glanced at him calmly, bowed and kowtowed, "In the Star-Zhaing Pavilion, it has been two hours since she entered the Star-Zhaing Pavilion last night. I and General Fang were worried that something might happen to her, so they came here to plead with her.
The emperor sent troops to Zhaixing Pavilion to support."
There was silence in the hall, and the eyes of the man behind the gauze curtain suddenly became sharp, staring at the two people kneeling on the ground. He was so angry that he wished he could stare out a big hole in them.
Gu Jiali didn't seem to notice his anger, and called "Your Majesty" calmly, and then said: "Everything Princess Linghui did was to rescue the princes as soon as possible. Please forgive her for her painstaking efforts."
, temporarily forgive her sin of acting privately, and send troops to support her as soon as possible."
"Sending troops to support is a trivial matter, but if the imperial army is alerted and the emperor's heir is harmed, who will be blamed for this crime?"
The emperor's tone was serious, with the hatred of gritted teeth, "I remember that Jiali, you value the rules the most. In the past, you would not do anything that was against the rules. Why are you so confused today, and you didn't tell me in advance about such an important action? You see in front of me
Is there still an emperor like me here?"
"There is also the old general." He changed his voice and pointed the finger at Fang Zhenshan, "I know that you are kind to me and to Daqi, but kindness is kindness, and rules are rules. You can do it without being summoned.
You don’t understand what the crime of entering the palace is, do you?”
These words made it clear that they were not prepared to send troops to support Shen Qingqing. Not only that, they would also charge Gu Jiali and Fang Zhenshan with neglecting their duties and trespassing in the palace.
"I am indeed guilty, and I am willing to accept the punishment, but before I am punished, I would like to ask the emperor to send troops to rescue Princess Linghui. After all, this is a matter of life and death, and there is no time to delay." Fang Zhenshan knelt on the ground and spoke earnestly.
ask.
"Even if the emperor doesn't think about Princess Linghui, he should still save people for the sake of the future of the princes and princesses." Gu Jiali raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Don't the emperor want to see his children become normal people?"
At this point, the man finally realized that the two of them were deliberately testing each other. Their eyes were unpredictable, and finally he stopped pretending. He slapped the edge of the bed and shouted loudly: "I can decide whether to save you or not. It's not your turn yet."
Cut in!"
After yelling, Huo Di stood up and shouted towards the closed palace door: "Come here, arrest these two traitors who are deceiving and plotting evil!"
A group of Imperial Guards filed in with weapons in hand, but they hesitated when they found out that the targets they wanted to arrest were Fang Zhenshan and Gu Jiali.
Gu Jiali stood up, stared at the man behind the gauze curtain with burning eyes, and asked sternly: "You are not the emperor, who are you?"
The gauze curtain was suddenly opened, and a man with a scarred face came out. He waved his bright yellow sleeves and shouted angrily: "Gu Jiali, open your dog eyes and see if I am the emperor!"
"
Gu Jiali frowned and looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him who was only one step away from him. It was undeniable that the man's height, body shape, and appearance were the same as the emperor's, but his demeanor was far inferior to that of the real emperor.
Qi Rui is gentle and reserved, and has a pleasant appearance most of the time. Even if he is angry, he will not swear or curse, let alone make a loud noise like the man in front of him.
The majesty of an emperor only needs a look or a sentence to express it. Why is there any need to jump up and down like the man in front of you and bluff?
