Chapter 215 Scene 28: Red Armor Sets the Prairie Nine
It was just after midnight and dawn had not yet broken. The clouds covered the stars and the moon, and the Milky Way was dim.
Gao Li struggled to open the gate of Wannian Palace, which had been sealed for a long time.
The interior of the hall has already been decorated for the upcoming ceremony. Gorgeous bright red brocades and everlasting lamps filled with precious whale blubber are staggered on both sides of the hall, outlining a passage in the middle. In front of the passage is the former The dazzling and dazzling gold-painted dragon chair that now seems to be covered in dust represents the great ascension to imperial power.
Outside the palace, in Yujing City, which has fallen asleep, the lights of thousands of houses that were originally bright like stars are now only a few sparse ones that have not been extinguished. The night is like water, like an invisible and formless silver line, flowing from the palace When Sajiang came in from outside the door, there was a hint of resentment and sadness in the hall that was supposed to be full of joy.
However, the man who was about to ascend the throne rushed straight into the palace, reached out and tore off the brocade curtains hanging from the beams, and pushed down several lampstands that were as tall as a person. The grease in the lamps spilled on the ground, reflecting the The firelight in the lantern outside the hall turned into a colorful film of oil, which gradually dispersed. The blubber was very easy to ignite, and just a spark could cause a raging fire in the hall, swallowing up everything.
When the servants following Gao Li saw this situation, they couldn't help but sweat in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the master would vent all the pent-up anger in their hearts on themselves, so they had to secretly order their subordinates to Each man held a piece of mop and followed closely behind him. When Gao Li passed by, he immediately rushed forward to wipe it.
However, no matter how hard they wiped, they were still half a beat too slow. The harder they wiped, the stickier the greasy blubber on the ground became, leaving milky white traces on the dark gray stone tiles. .
Gao Li soon discovered the people following him, suddenly stopped and shouted:
"Why are you still following me?"
"Master Gao, I am just worried that there will be hidden dangers in this way."
The waiter was so frightened that he trembled, but he still boldly begged his master to stop. Unexpectedly, he was abruptly interrupted before he finished speaking.
"There is a hidden danger! These things are placed here for the purpose of marrying the new queen tomorrow. Now that the new queen is gone, what are you keeping them for?"
Gao Li became more and more crazy, throwing all the brocades and candles in his hands at the attendants, and even raised his voice and roared, but his voice was broken:
"Everyone, get out of the palace! This Wannian Palace and this Yongyang Palace are the places where I have devoted half my life! They all belong to me. I can do whatever I want!"
The chamberlain did not dare to say any more words, so he had to lead a group of people out of the palace. He did not go far, but he still looked nervously outside the palace door.
Gao Li was no longer too lazy to chase them away, but temporarily stopped what he was doing, as if he was drunk, staggered up to the high platform, and sat down heavily on the throne that was coveted by countless people.
"I have stood next to this gold-plated dragon chair for more than forty years, and now I can finally sit on it. Why do I have to listen to others telling me what to do?! It was the Baijiang family who set the Zen position for me, and I am like this The rightful owner of this continent is the supreme emperor! Who can stop me? Who dares to say no in front of me!"
As he spoke, the maniacal laughter echoing in the hall suddenly stopped, and was replaced by the man's low and hoarse sobs:
"Tomorrow, I will be able to hold everything I ever dreamed of in the palm of my hand, and I will also have the supreme power of this land dynasty! But even so, I still can't win everyone's heart! The woman who was supposed to be the new queen
The princes who betrayed me and should have surrendered their allegiance refused to surrender, so what’s the point of getting all this?!"
As Gao Li spoke, he actually raised his palms to cover his face, as if all the pressure he had endured these days was finally vented at this moment.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice coming from far and near, floating into his ears from outside the palace. The words in his mouth seemed to be deliberately spoken to the man on the gold-plated dragon chair:
"Even if that's the case, why do you continue to persist? Anyway, the prosperous scene in this world, the soft red earth, the red and green tiles, the painted buildings and the carved beams, will eventually turn into a handful of loess quicksand that no one can recognize. Even if it is as strong as
In the end, our ancestors were just like the billions of ants in this world, dissipated in the long river of time, and never to be traced again."
As the words became clear at the same time, it was a figure wearing a cloak. The man slowly stepped into the halo illuminated by the lanterns outside the palace door - it was Kun Jie who came and went without a trace.
!
"What are you doing here, Your Majesty? Or are you trying to convince me to give up the throne that I'm about to get? Are you dreaming!"
Gao Li didn't even open his eyes to look, but he already recognized the other party's voice that made him extremely disgusted.
Kun Jie still had that elusive yet chilling smile on his face: "So, if you are unwilling to obey my orders, why do you force others to obey you?"
"Even now, you still don't forget to instill these sophistry! Since everything in the world will turn into dust, why do you insist on looking for that holy city and the ultimate power hidden in it? What do you want?
Get something out of it!”
Gao Li lowered his hands to cover his eyes, but he could no longer conceal the almost desperate look in his eyes. In his opinion, a large part of the reason why everything went wrong for him was because of the person in front of him who tried to control everything.
The man obstructed.
Kun Jie still had contempt on his face: "It's not for the power, fame and fortune in this world. In my eyes, these things are just as dirty as dirt - but if I allow you to get everything you want,
What happens next? From now on, are you going to help me find the ancient city of the ancestors with all your strength, or are you going to carry me behind your back to monopolize the ultimate power hidden in the holy city?"
At this point, he suddenly paused, his eyes suddenly widened, and his tone did not allow the other party to have the slightest chance to defend himself, "Don't think that the secretive transactions between you and Feng Weishu these days can be concealed from the public! You
You have always wanted to get rid of my control, and you also covet the power of your ancestors, yes or no!"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Gao Li did not want to continue to pretend in front of the other party. Instead, he completely lost his face and stood in the hall and roared:
"So what? What exactly have I done? In fact, you have already known it clearly through the spies I planted, right! You are here to save your daughter today, right? You are just taking me, the disobedient deacon, by the way.
Get rid of the elders! Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”
However, when Kun Jie heard Qi mentioned his daughter, he suddenly showed a surprised look on his face, and quickly realized that this former subordinate of his was planning to blackmail him, and immediately shouted sharply:
"It seems that you have already found Ning Yue's whereabouts. If I had known earlier that she was in Yongyang Palace, why would I still waste so much time on you!"
Seeing that the other party reacted like this, Gao Li realized that he had fallen into Feng Weishu's trap. However, it was difficult to stop the situation. For the two people who had already been at odds with each other in the palace, the only way to prevent themselves from falling was to strike first. Entering into defeat.
Now that he had the intention to kill, he no longer hesitated. He immediately picked up a candlestick at hand and struck it hard on the gong used to announce ministers' entrance to the palace.
The loud sound of gongs immediately broke the brief silence. Then, the sound of armored soldiers rushing from the palace gate resounded throughout the palace. In just a blink of an eye, Zhi Jinwu and Qi Dianwei, who were responsible for guarding the forbidden city, heard the news and came to launch their formation. There were more than a hundred people, densely surrounding Kun Jie who was standing alone in the hall!
"Do you think that these land people's weapons can hurt me?"
Kun Jie snorted heavily, but did not make any move. He still stood where he was without moving.
"I have already set up barriers everywhere in Yongyang Palace. And in this Ten Thousand Years Palace, the barrier power is the most powerful! No matter how powerful your breath is, it will not have any effect now, so it is better to bow your head. Admit your mistake, and maybe you can beg me to spare your life!"
Gao Li was not to be outdone. Although he didn't know how much power his opponent still had, he took the lead. Not only did he tell the guards who rushed into the palace, but he also told himself.
Kun Jie seemed to be really restrained by the barrier. He did not immediately attack in public. Instead, he took off his cloak from his head, revealing his clear face, and murmured:
"It's been too long since we've seen each other, and the friendship we had in the past has been forgotten."
"Don't mention our old friendship with me! I know that if it hadn't been for you, only one or two out of ten of our group would have been able to escape Cangliu City alive. But you in the past will not change more and more. There are so many secrets hidden in my heart, and I will not kill the humerus under my command or harm my compatriots!"
Gao Li rebuked loudly, as if at this moment, he represented those deceased colleagues and was conducting the final judgment on the old commander in front of him.
But the thin man kept shaking his head, with a look of compassion on his face: "The two elders, Law Enforcement and Zhizhang, were not killed by me. And Zhihuo, who sacrificed his life for righteousness, they all did it for the sake of their own hearts. Only with faith can you sacrifice your life without hesitation!"
"Then what explanation should be given for the complete destruction of Cangliu City? Didn't you keep claiming that when we act, we must put the lives of our clansmen first? I have just received news that among the victims of the submarine volcanic eruption, There are my parents, relatives, and my unmarried sister!"
However, Gao Li did not buy the opponent's account, and there was anger for revenge in his eyes. He quickly waved his hand, ordered the sergeants on the left and right to line up, and used their swords to touch Kun Jie's body from all directions. He was instantly To put the opponent to death.
This time, Kunjie did not continue to quibble, but looked up to the sky and laughed:
"One mouthful for me, do you really think of yourself as one of these land people, as the eternal emperor of the great dynasty?!"
As he spoke, a faint blue light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the leader of the rebel party. Gao Li secretly screamed, but he wanted to stop him, but he missed the opportunity.
I saw that the weapons around the man were like ice melting in the sun in the blink of an eye, slowly becoming twisted and knotted, and it was difficult to maintain their original shape, let alone be used to kill people.
It turns out that what he said before was just a delaying strategy by Kun Jie. And during this time when it was almost impossible to do anything, he actually used a small piece of mysterious rose he carried with him to make the sky shrouded in the sky above Wannian Palace.
The barrier was broken, creating a hole big enough for him to use!
"Kill him for me! Immediately, immediately!"
When Gao Li saw this, he couldn't help but regretful. What he regretted was that he should not have dug into the details and asked the other party questions that he had not asked for many years and could never get satisfactory answers. What he regretted was that he still cared about his old relationship.
, harboring illusions about the scheming old Shangfeng in front of him.
However, in the face of Kun Jie's powerful spell, the Miyagi guards who rushed forward felt as if there was a huge force coming in front of them. As the enemy gently pushed his hands forward, dozens of people were taken away.
He flew out and hit the thick pillar in the Wannian Palace with his body and armor, which required three or five people to surround him. He fell to the ground and broke his muscles and bones, killing him.
"Since I can break the barrier in Cangliu City, how can you trap me with the little tricks you used here?" Kun Jie stepped over the corpse of Zhijinwu lying scattered at his feet, and took a stroll in the palace. And around him,
Those guards who were armed with sharp blades were unwilling to be killed on the spot, and no one dared to take a step further.
"I will never give up everything I have finally gained! Today, only one of you and me can leave the gate of Wannian Palace alive!"
Gao Li didn't show any signs of weakness. He held the candlestick in his hand horizontally and threw it forward like a spear, while muttering something in his mouth. Under the blessing of the spell, the candlestick actually made a sound of "Teng".
, turned into a ball of fire in mid-air, and stabbed hard at the opponent's vital parts!
Kun Jie smiled in disbelief, and the flames hit an ice wall that appeared out of thin air in front of him. The ice wall instantly broke into thousands of fragments, and the fire arrow completely missed its target and fell to the ground with a clang.
It turned into a candlestick that had been burnt to black.
However, the flame burning on the candlestick did not go out, but scattered in all directions. The remaining whale blubber on the ground was instantly ignited by sparks, and spread in an instant, as if using the main hall as paper to draw a picture.
Dazzling and unpredictable pictures.
"That's right! Today, only one of you and me can leave this palace and this royal city alive!"
Kun Jie's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he began to speak plausibly. The two of them used all their strength, and fell into a fierce fight that seemed destined to lose both sides. Under the powerful spell, even the Wannian Palace became crumbling.
stand up.
However, in the later history book "Shi Yu Lu", there are only a few words left about this important event that happened to such a subtle person like Gao Li during such a delicate period. According to "Da Sheng Kao Yi": Zhao
