Chapter 216 Scene 28: Red Armor Sets the Prairie Fire Ten
Until the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, on the day of the Zen Ceremony, no one among the officials and maids in the Yongyang Palace realized that there had been a fire that came and went without a trace in the Wannian Palace. The servants did not dare to break in easily.
Entering the main hall, which had been arranged for the grand ceremony, and was reserved for Gao Li to order it to be opened when he ascended the throne, there was no trace of the dead or injured guards in the hall. And Kunjie and Gao Li, who were fighting in a melee that day, seemed to have never appeared.
Just disappeared.
The officials, both large and small, who suddenly didn't know what to do, had to open the palace door first, and arranged for the people to enter to watch the ceremony step by step according to the originally scheduled time.
It was close to the corner, and there was less than an hour left before the originally scheduled auspicious time of noon. In the Yongyang Palace, all the golden chariots, ceremonial chariots, ceremonial guards, and vehicles related to the grand ceremony had been prepared. Flags were held.
The followers of Luo Pai Fan had been waiting in line in front of the palace since dawn. However, it was not until the eunuch serving the dormitory rushed out that they realized that Gao Li had not returned all night, and no one knew where he was.
Don't know where to look for it.
Right now, in front of the Wannian Palace, on the Panlongyuan where the grand ceremony is about to begin, flags are fluttering and people are crowded. Thousands of kings holding axes, axes and golden hammers are neatly lined up around the square, forming an airtight human wall. In the center of the square
, a wooden high platform rises from the ground, almost level with the main hall of the Wannian Hall, which is like a mountain. On the high platform, the animals used for Zen sacrifices have long been slaughtered and cooked, as well as bells, tripods, Yi utensils, and crowns and robes.
Listed on the record.
However, there was only deathly silence in the air. Not to mention the noise, some people even wanted to cough, so they carefully covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves. And this weird atmosphere made everyone present feel...
Something is wrong.
The weather after the beginning of summer made the guards on the sidelines sweat through their heavy clothes, but no one among them dared to act rashly. They had to stretch their necks slightly, hoping that some cold wind would blow in through the gaps in the collars of the armors, bringing them with them.
There is some hot and humid suffocation.
Some of them couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at the Grand Sikong Wen Boxun in a corner of the square who was in charge of presiding over the ceremony. However, they saw that the Grand Sikong, who was nearly seventy years old, was also leaning on his neck and legs, looking into the depths of the palace.
Several more internal prisoners hurriedly came from a distance. Several of them ran so fast that they fell to the ground and quickly got up. They stopped in front of Wen Boyun, breathing heavily, but they only exchanged a few words.
Then he turned around and ran away again, thinking that he still couldn't find any trace of Gao Li.
Finally, a clear voice suddenly broke the long-lasting silence. It was the last bloodline of the Bai Jiang clan, and it was also Bai Jiangxing who was about to give away the imperial power in his hands today:
"The sun has already started to set towards the west, why hasn't it started yet? I'm already hungry, I need lunch, I need lunch!"
The young and foolish emperor yelled as he got out of the steamer-like carriage. Regardless of the efforts of the nanny behind him to stop him, he actually broke away from the other party's hand holding him and rushed straight to the high platform in the middle of Panlongyuan.
Next, take off your well-dressed clothes piece by piece.
When Wen Boyun saw this, he immediately glanced to the left and right and ordered them to take Bai Jiangxing to the sidelines quickly. But he himself walked to him with already staggering steps and comforted him with words:
"Your Majesty, lunch can only be had after the ceremony is over. Didn't we agree a long time ago?"
But the stupid emperor opposite didn't listen at all, and his temper became more and more fierce. In the end, he cried "Wow", then rolled around, lay on the ground and refused to get up, and shouted loudly:
"Didn't you say before that as long as I became emperor, I would have endless delicious food in my life! But today, you suddenly stopped letting me cook it and didn't give me food! You are all liars, a bunch of big liars!"
These words immediately caused quite a commotion among the people who came to watch the ceremony. The initial whispers gradually intensified among the crowd, one after another, and they could no longer stop drinking. Wen Boyun immediately turned pale. After a sudden change, he had no choice but to order the internal warden to take Bai Jiangxing down to eat some snacks.
Ever since the Grand Situ Duan Hongfang was slapped to death in public in the main hall, officials of all sizes in the court no longer dared to touch Gao Li's bad luck. Now the Grand Sikong is just praying secretly in his heart, hoping that today's rather embarrassing scene will happen. , never put the blame on yourself.
Ning Yue, who was wearing wedding clothes and a crown, was also sitting in a carriage on the sidelines. At this time, fine beads of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead and the tip of her nose. However, she had no intention of wiping it away, and just kept Fidgeting with the veil in her hand, she was secretly glad that the vicious man who threatened to behead her in public today was still late. Otherwise, she would most likely have been convicted of the death penalty and her body would be in a different place. on the spot.
However, while the red-haired girl was happy, she was also a little worried - because if the other party didn't come, Feng Weishu would never come either. In the past few days, the two of them had carefully considered and revised their escape plan, but it was about to go to waste.
On the other side of Panlongyuan, the heads of the five kingdoms of Huaiyou, Nanhua, Yu, Dun, and Cheng, who had previously sent envoys, all sat down on a viewing platform guarded by elite soldiers. However, their trip The purpose is not as simple as just surrendering.
At present, the space in the auditorium is limited, and the heads of the vassal states with their own evil intentions cannot be far apart from each other. Although they appear to be in a happy mood, the personal guards they have brought with them are tensing up and tightening their muscles. The weapons in their hands creaked lightly, guarding against possible attacks from each other at any time.
The first person who couldn't sit still was Qin Cong, the leader of the Nanhua Kingdom. At this time, Nanhua had annexed the Hejian Corridor area that originally belonged to Chengguo, and the neighboring countries on the left and right did not have enough strength to compete with it. It seemed that Nanhua had firmly established the four southeastern countries. He is in the top spot and even speaks with confidence:
"Why, doesn't the emperor want to take the Zen throne? The new emperor just leaves us here like this, it's too arrogant!"
"Is this the attitude a minister should have? Although the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, he has been acting in government affairs for many years. Now he is just a little late, but you don't even have the patience to wait!"
On the side, Lu Yong, the leader of the Dun Kingdom, and Yin Wuyi, the new leader of the Cheng Kingdom, refuted it in public. After the Cheng Ye battle, not only did the two countries fail to gain any benefits, but they were robbed by Wei Liang and Nan Hua and pressed forward step by step. Now, the reason why the two countries have sworn allegiance to Gao Li is largely to get an explanation in front of the new emperor.
"No matter how much you two beg in front of the new emperor, he will definitely not favor you! Today, Xienghui, Yubei, Weiliang, Peng, Ye and other countries are not present to watch the ceremony. If the emperor wants to secure his throne, he can only rely on A powerful vassal state, not a bastard that is just begging for mercy!"
Qin Cong laughed and openly mocked the two monarchs in front of him. No one could bear such humiliation. Lu Yong immediately jumped up, took out the short knife he carried from his waist and threw himself at the opponent. past:
"Our country has been humiliated by Nanhua for hundreds of years, and we have had grievances for generations! I will end it with you here today!"
When Qin Cong saw this, he didn't panic. He actually drew his weapon from the waist of his guard and took a counterattack stance:
"Exactly! If I can kill you with my own hands today, Dun's defense line on the east bank of Zuojiang River will definitely be demoralized. Then I will personally lead the army and march straight to the river!"
The viewing platform suddenly became a battlefield between the two kings. The guards on the side wanted to step forward to stop them, but the space was too small and it was inconvenient to move. Only Jing Wen, the master of the Yu Kingdom, stretched out his arms to block the two. He advised:
"Oh, forget it. It's not the kingdom within the four seas. I'm just a vassal of the great dynasty. We can only assist the new emperor with all our strength, so why risk our lives?"
"Dasheng Chao is about to disappear! The small country of Yu lives in a place full of miasma. In my eyes, you are no different from Dongli in Yizhou, and you are still shy and pretending to be a vassal Sincerely, get out of here quickly, otherwise I will chop you down too!"
Qin Cong roared angrily and kicked the opponent in the waist, then raised his knife and wiped it on his neck. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the square.
The princes and monarchs on the viewing platform temporarily stopped arguing and fighting, and turned their heads to look, only to see a thin and gaunt man slowly pushing open the tall door of the Wannian Palace and walking slowly into the sunshine outside the palace. Down.
"Who is coming? This is a forbidden area in the imperial city. Who on earth let you into the palace without fear of death?!"
Da Sikong Wen Boyun shouted immediately. However, soon, he saw the charred ashes inside the open palace door that had been burned by a fire last night, as well as the hundreds of dead Jinwu and their golden armors. They are piled up densely layer by layer, resembling a small mountain.
The only living person who walked out from behind that door was Kun Jie, who had a fierce battle with Gao Li in the hall last night.
"Someone, get it for me immediately!"
Wen Boxun couldn't hear what the other party planned to explain, and he didn't intend to listen at all. He waved his hand and ordered the two groups of forbidden troops standing outside the palace gate to surround him.
The man in front of the hall smiled coldly, but his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared out of thin air. However, his laughter still echoed in the sky above Panlongyuan:
"Do I still need someone to let me in? There is no place on this land that I cannot go to!"
A burst of exclamation broke out again among the crowd. The people in the city witnessed the witchcraft again hundreds of years later, and were immediately frightened out of their wits. Seeing this, Wen Boyun also felt frightened, but he still tried to calm down and kept calm. He shouted to the heavily armed Zhijinwu on the sidelines:
"The monster enters the palace and disrupts the ceremony! Shoot him to death with random arrows immediately, so as not to endanger the emperor and the people!"
The rain of arrows shot from all directions flew to the front of the palace in the blink of an eye. But when Kun Jie raised his hand, an invisible and intangible shield seemed to surround him, and he actually stopped all the arrows as if he was lifting a weight. , not a single one slipped through the net.
"Endangering the Emperor? If you still recognize that fool from the Bai Jiang family as your emperor, I really can't think of any benefit in harming him. However, if you all recognize Gao Li, who is about to ascend the throne, as the emperor - "
The man standing on the high platform suddenly laughed ferociously. He paused, but at some point there was an extra baggage in his hand. After shaking it open, he saw that what was wrapped in it was Gao Li's heart stained with blood.
head!
"The new emperor you have high hopes for was killed by me last night. And you stupid mainlanders will be buried here together with him today!"
Kun Jie laughed wildly for a while, and began to mutter something again. This time, a dazzling thunderbolt fell from the clear sky, right on the viewing platform at the edge of the field.
After the loud rumbling sound, the mahogany viewing platform immediately turned into a pile of powder and ignited into a raging fire. The princes and kings who had fought fiercely in it before were also burned into charred corpses on the spot.
, it is difficult to identify the face, and it is even difficult to find complete skeletons.
This move finally caused the crowd who were still watching on the sidelines to know what was going on to panic and rush out of the palace like a tide. Pushing and trampling were inevitable, and the crowd continued to utter pain and despair.
However, the deadly lightnings falling from the sky fell on their heads one after another without any mercy.
In the chaos, the carriage and horse where Ning Yue lived were also startled by the fleeing crowd. The servant leading the horse had already hid somewhere, and the horse started galloping with the carriage on the square. It was so bumpy that the girl among them was shocked.
Unable to stabilize his body anymore, he kept hitting the wooden boards on both sides of the carriage, so he had to curl up and protect his head with his arms.
Suddenly, the left side of the car shook violently, as if something was pressing on it, and it shot up in the air. At high speeds, it was no longer possible to keep the car balanced by the horses pulling it.
There was just a "click" sound, and the thick yoke fell off the horse, and the entire carriage fell to the ground. Ning Yue in the car also hit her head hard on the beam of the roof, and immediately saw a
Black, lost consciousness.
She didn't know how long it took, but she vaguely felt like she was being dragged out of the car. After opening her eyes for a moment, she realized that the person holding her in his arms was actually someone who was supposed to be locked up in the dungeon.
The wind is not special!
"How did you escape?"
The red-haired girl asked vaguely, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She stretched out her hand and touched it, and blood dripped from her head.
"My father saw that no one had taken me out of the prison for a long time, so he vaguely felt that something had happened. Fortunately, the piece of mysterious rose you gave me finally helped me break the barrier and managed to escape from the prison. Yue'er
Don’t ask any more questions first. It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time. We’ll talk about it after my father comes out of the palace!”
As Feng Weishu spoke, he took his daughter's hand and was about to follow the crowd and escape to the palace gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around, they saw that Kun Jie on the high platform had long disappeared. Then a powerful force came from top to bottom.
It attacked them head-on and knocked the father and daughter to the ground. When they got up again, Kun Jie was already standing in front of them!
