Pieces of blazing fire clouds hung high in the sky above Hellfire City.
A fire tower, a fire bell, and a large four-legged tripod wrapped in flames with hundreds of fiery demons carved on the surface also hang high above the city.
Huge soul pressure enveloped the entire Hellfire City.
The three ancestors of the Huo clan of the Yan Dynasty, who were in the Golden Lotus Perfection Realm, were invited by Huo Yu to break out of the Qingxiu Land and dominate the Hell Fire City.
With the support of three elders who had perfected the Golden Lotus, Huo Yu Lei was furious. Many officials related to the major cities in northern Xinjiang had their heads cut off with a click, and their bloody heads were hung at the entrance of the palace for public display.
Even behind the important ministers such as Si Fu and Si Bi, the extremely powerful powerful families such as the Jiang family were beaten by Huo Yu, and a lot of power was forcibly taken away from them and distributed directly to their close ministers.
.
In response to this, the various sects were unwilling to accept this, and they contacted the princes they supported one after another. When Yan came to the court, there was chaos.
The army of the Huan Dynasty had already captured cities and territories in northern Xinjiang and plundered countless people and wealth, while the Yan Dynasty was in constant internal turmoil...
Early in the morning, on the fire platform of Yan Chaotian, Huo Yu, the nineteenth-ranked prince, and Huo Plow, who was backed by the powerful Song family, was held down in front of many ministers by a group of big and round eunuchs, carrying a heavy pole.
Beat up.
Huo Li's magic power was imprisoned, and he even took a secret elixir that dispelled blood energy and lowered the body's defense. His strength was suppressed to a level comparable to that of ordinary people. A group of eunuchs wielded big poles and violently beat him in public.
The fire plow tore open the skin and flesh, and the pelvis and thigh bones were beaten to pieces.
Huoli howled miserably, cried bitterly, and wailed in a hoarse voice: "Father, father, what have you done wrong?"
Huo Yu stood in front of Huoli with his hands behind his back, looked down at him, and then grinned at the many ministers present: "This unfilial son made such nonsense in the boat last night that I, Huo Yu, am about to abdicate.
Why are you still attached to the throne and unwilling to step back?"
Huo Yu suddenly kicked Huo Li hard in the face, causing his tall nose to collapse, his cheek bones to crack, and his big teeth to fly out.
"It's simply wanton... Not to mention, according to the ancestral rules, it's not time for me to abdicate... Besides, at this scene, the army of the Hyun Dynasty attacked crazily, and the cities in northern Xinjiang fell one after another, and countless people suffered miserably.
Enemy kiss... At such a juncture, how could I abdicate and hand over the important affairs of the country to a group of young children?"
"This son is unfilial." Huo Yu pointed at Huoli and said coldly: "And he is incompetent."
After a slight pause, Huo Yu said coldly: "It's even more disloyal to Yan Chao!"
‘Unfilial’, ‘incompetent’, and even more ‘disloyal’.
All the courtiers looked sideways, Huo Li was finished. Being labeled like this by Huo Yu, he was no longer destined for the throne. When the new emperor ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely not have a good look towards such a brother.
The fire plow is completely finished.
Many ministers secretly looked at the Tianhuo Platform. Song Yuan, the current patriarch of the Song clan, was also one of the four important ministers of the Four Assistants and Four Bis, who was responsible for the inspection of all officials in the court.
Huoli, among the several princes supported by the Song family, the mother of Huoli, who was the strongest, most powerful, and had the best family background, was Huo Yu's noble concubine, and the eldest granddaughter of Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Therefore, in terms of support, Huoli was the one who invested the most strength in the Song family.
As expected, Song Yuan stepped out of the train: "Your Majesty, Huoli is just a momentary resentment. Maybe he is a little disrespectful to Your Majesty, but it cannot be said to be unfilial. As for incompetence and disloyalty, I don't know where to start?"
Song and Yuan must go out to support their great-grandson.
Otherwise, Huoli was eliminated from the possibility of competing for the throne, and there was a high probability that several other great-grandsons of the Song and Yuan Dynasties would be involved.
Song and Yuan, the Song family did not want a prince with their own blood to be eliminated early.
In particular, the Jiang family lost troops in Northern Xinjiang and made such a big mistake at the critical moment. The Jiang family basically withdrew from the battle for the throne. Without such a strong opponent, Song and Yuan absolutely did not want their Song family to be second.
indivual.
Huo Yu looked at Song Yuan and sneered: "Unfilial, he dared to slander the king's father. I said he was unfilial, but he is unfilial."
"Incompetent, it's his slanderous words about Jun's father that actually reached my ears... Even if he does something bad, he will be caught by someone's hair. He can't do such a small thing well. Do you dare to say that he is very capable?"
"As for disloyalty... Such a big event has happened in the country. More than a hundred cities in northern Xinjiang have been conquered by the Huan Dynasty, and countless people have fallen into dire straits... He actually went to play in a painted boat?"
Song Yuan's expression changed slightly.
He took a deep breath and prepared to argue a few more words for Huo Li.
But on the Sky Fire Platform, waves of terrifying soul waves with unusually high temperatures hit him. Song Yuan lost his footing and suddenly stepped back dozens of steps, almost being squeezed out of the Sky Fire Platform.
A cold and stern voice came from behind the screen behind Huo Yu's throne: "That's enough. It's just a gray grandson. Let alone cripple him, that's what he's going to do if he's beheaded... Seriously, the army of the Chao Dynasty is invading. You guys should discuss it quickly."
Countermeasures.”
Song Yuan shut up.
The ministers started making noises one after another, shaking their heads one by one, pretending to be diligent and loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and came up with a series of reliable and unreliable countermeasures.
The person who spoke was one of the three ancestors invited by Huo Yu. He was also the emperor of the Yan Dynasty ten generations ago. He was the direct ancestor of Huo Yu's clan. He had a respected status, strong cultivation, and was the most powerful member of the Huo clan.
The old treasure at the bottom of the box!
For a time, the Tianhuo Platform was in chaos. A group of courtiers argued for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion to mobilize troops and start a war!
Huo Yu clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the group of courtiers, wishing he could draw his sword and chop them all to death.
After arguing for so long, you came to such a bullshit conclusion?
Deploy troops, start a war, and face Hyun Chao's attack. Even a pig knows what to do, right? Why do they still want them to be so noisy?
However, this is the pillar of the Yan Dynasty!
Can't kill!
Therefore, Huo Yu could only look at the ministers with a smile on his face and said: "So, where to mobilize the troops? How to coordinate the supplies, food and grass? My ministers, please discuss a detailed strategy. Especially..."
Huo Yu had some bad thoughts in his heart: "Jiang'an fell into northern Xinjiang, is this Yinghuo Division..."
Several Jiang family ministers hurriedly walked out of the train: "Your Majesty, the operation of the Yinghuo Division is smooth and normal, without any adjustments!"
Yinghuo Division is the yamen that Jiang An is responsible for, which is also the private territory of the Jiang family.
In particular, the Yinghuo Division is responsible for external intelligence, placing secret spies, bribing enemy ministers, and even assassinating important figures, etc. The Yinghuo Division is not only extremely powerful and powerful, but its annual funding is also a treasure trove of gold and silver.
generally.
With such a big piece of fat, if Huo Yu dares to hand over the Yinghuo Division to one of the other four assistant ministers, the Jiang family will dare to invite their ancestors from the Golden Lotus Kai realm to fight for their lives!
The other courtiers' eyes flickered, showing hesitation.
Several of the Jiang family's ministers had resolute expressions on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on Huo Yu. If you dare to commit chaos, your ministers will dare to fight you!
Huo Yu hesitated for a moment and sneered: "In that case, it's up to you...Jiang Wei to temporarily take over all the responsibilities of the Yinghuo Division...I will give you three days. Within three days, you can find out what happened in Northern Xinjiang."
What, find out how many soldiers and horses came from the Xu Dynasty, who commanded the army, and who are the generals in the army."
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yu pointed at Jiang Wei, who had a stiff face: "Also, find out what happened in the Hyun Dynasty... Didn't their emperor just die? How could he have the intention to invade our country so unscrupulously?"
After coughing lightly, Huo Yu pointed at Song Yuan again: "Song Qing's family, you mobilize elite soldiers and generals to cooperate with Jiang Qing's family to thoroughly investigate this matter. If there is any corruption, perversion of the law, or favoritism in the process of Yinghuo Division,
Fraud...I will allow you to kill it first and then report it later!"
Song Yuan, who had been depressed just now, was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to receive his order.
Jiang Wei's face became even more ugly.
The Zhenbei Army lost contact, and Jiang An fell into the enemy's hands in Qingyun State. The Jiang family mobilized private troops and brought countless wealth to redeem people... Then came the massive invasion of the army of the Hyun Dynasty. To everyone's surprise, they marched straight in and invaded Yan.
toward the territory.
God knows how guilty the Jiang family is in this.
If Jiang Wei was in charge of the Yinghuo Division to investigate, many things could still be kept a secret, but this guy Song Yuan was intervened by Huo Yu, and this matter became troublesome.
If it is really discovered that the invasion of the Hyun Dynasty's army is related to the Jiang family, there is no doubt that according to the intelligence currently available to Jiang Wei, this matter is inseparable from the Jiang family.
If this matter leaks out...
Jiang Wei pursed his lips and quickly glanced at Song Yuan.
Song Yuan looked at Jiang Wei meaningfully. He knew that this time, he could take control of the Jiang family...
A group of ministers left the Tianhuo Tower one after another. Huo Yu, with his hands behind his back, looked at these ministers flying away on the clouds, and sighed quietly: "The national situation is difficult, but these ministers... none of them can be reused. Ancestor, if this is the case,
Let my useless sons take over the throne..."
A cold and stern voice came from behind the screen: "The rules are the rules, no one can defy them. When your golden lotus blooms, you must abdicate."
Huo Yu's face turned gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
At this time, Lu Qian was already carrying the Zen staff and stepping on the strong wind, striding towards Hellfire City.
From Northern Xinjiang to Hellfire City, the straight-line distance is more than a million miles. Lu Qian can easily walk a hundred miles in one step. It only takes more than 10,000 steps to come all the way. He set out early in the morning and had time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
, by evening, we had arrived outside the north gate of Hellfire City.
The news of the fall of Northern Xinjiang has not yet spread, and the top officials of the Yan Dynasty deliberately blocked the news.
The Yan Dynasty officers and soldiers guarding the north gate all had dull eyes and were stuck at the door like wooden stakes. They looked majestic, but in fact they were just decorations.
Lu Qian shook his head slightly, walked into Hellfire City easily, and headed straight for the Imperial City.
