Chapter 951 The clouds cover the sun and the swallows return to their nests (3)
In a hurry?
It was obvious that the store clerk didn't know what Wei Changtian was anxious to do, he was just worried that he wouldn't be able to get back before the street was cleared.
But in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of five taels of silver, and after several struggles, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Sir, please wait a moment! I'll be back soon, little one!"
After finishing speaking, he carefully put away the silver ingot and quickly ran out of the teahouse through the back door.
The shop assistant just ran off to buy mung bean cakes, while Wei Changtian watched him leave, and then, like all the other tea guests, turned to look at the tall Meridian Gate.
I don't know when the city was already densely packed with Forbidden troops, with spear points and dazzling golden armor. At a rough count, there were hundreds of them.
There were a larger number of forbidden troops running on several surrounding streets at this time, driving away the few pedestrians who were still staying on the streets.
Clearing the streets was consistent with Wei Changtian's previous prediction.
Since Jing Guoqing decided to give a "public speech" to boost morale, it was naturally impossible to completely clear the venue, otherwise the move would be meaningless.
But considering safety issues, he cannot allow people to gather.
After all, it is impossible to check everyone one by one in such a short time, and it is extremely easy for assassins to hide.
Then, "street cleaning" is a compromise solution.
Only the streets will be cleared, and people can still be left in the buildings on the roadside.
In this way, the common people can not only have a glimpse of his "holy power", but also greatly increase the difficulty of possible assassinations.
Because if someone really intends to assassinate, no matter how strong the assassin is or what means he has, he must first approach the Meridian Gate.
As long as the assassin appears on an empty street, he will undoubtedly be discovered immediately, leaving Jing Guoqing a lot of time to react and not being caught off guard.
Of course, for Wei Changtian, it is not difficult to deal with these forbidden troops, and clearing the streets will not have much impact.
However, he knew very well that Jing Guoqing's "security measures" were more than just that.
Since the latter has been so cautious that he even stopped attending court in the morning, there is no way he will take this public appearance lightly, and he will definitely make sure that there is no leakage.
Therefore, the Imperial Guard is only on the surface.
And as for what's secretly...
His eyes fell around the Meridian Gate. Although Wei Changtian had no evidence, he guessed that there were very powerful defensive formations designated around the Meridian Gate.
Even more than one.
Therefore, if he wanted to kill Jing Guoqing in full view of the public and inflict the heaviest blow to the government and the public, he would first have to pass through the Forbidden Army and arrive under the Meridian Gate, and then quickly break through the formation and board the
city wall.
And then......
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wei Changtian didn't know how many upper-level third-level masters were on the city at the moment, but based on some previous information, he could roughly judge that it was at least two digits.
There are more than ten third-level masters, this power is not weak.
But Wei Changtian is not afraid of these people.
He has the Ten Thousand Blade Guide, the Star Scabbard, several swords and the Luck Yellow Dragon, and he is very good at fighting with one enemy against many.
This can be seen from the previous "One vs. Thirteen" under Fengyuan City.
What's more, compared to that time, he now has Zhulong and Gudiao, two divine beasts of luck that can directly participate in combat, as well as golden lotus leaves that can replenish internal energy at any time.
You must know that Wei Changtian brought a hundred lotus petals with him this time, which was enough for him to waste his internal energy unscrupulously for several hours.
No CD ultimate, unlimited blue, who the hell can withstand this?
Therefore, unless Jing Guoqing has a first-grade or near-first-grade master, Wei Changtian is not worried that he will not be able to beat him later.
He was just a little worried that he couldn't kill Jing Guoqing quickly.
Like Ning Yongnian, Yan Huanwen, Lu Hongji and others, Jing Guoqing also has some cultivation skills.
Although he is only at the third level and his combat power is negligible, his level as high as the third level makes him unable to be trapped by "Long Lock".
And once you get caught in a cat-and-mouse "pursuit battle", the situation may become complicated.
After all, even Da Hui has the "Dragon Vein of Protecting the Country", so there is no reason why Da Gan, who has stronger national power, should not have some means to suppress the situation.
If Jing Guoqing uses all his methods, it will really become unknown whether he can be killed by then...
To sum up, if analyzed rationally, Wei Changtian's best choice today is not to "kill by force", but to use the "avoidance talisman" to sneak quietly near the Meridian Gate and attach a "Thousand Miles of Smoke" to Jing Guoqing. , and then look for opportunities to "assassinate" the latter when they are not paying attention.
From the perspective of "killing people", this kind of success rate is undoubtedly the highest.
But Wei Changtian did not intend to do this.
Because "killing" is just a means, and "killing one's heart" is the goal.
There is not only one Jing Guoqing in the Jing family, so Jing Guoqing's simple death cannot reverse the situation of the war, nor can it cause the so-called rebel army of 300,000 soldiers to invade the capital of Daqian.
But Jing Guoqing's death was a huge blow to the confidence of the ruling and opposition parties.
Therefore, Wei Changtian must kill Jing Guoqing in full view of the public and with watertight protection.
Only in this way will Daqian people feel the most real fear and lose the idea of resistance.
The reason is very simple and not difficult to understand.
The only thing is that it is "slightly" difficult to operate...
"Your Majesty has arrived!!"
"kneel!!"
Suddenly, just when Wei Changtian was thinking about what he would do later, accompanied by a long and majestic shout, a figure appeared in the center of the Meridian Gate.
Today's leader, wearing a golden dragon robe, is none other than Jing Guoqing.
It was actually not yet noon, but the latter came out early.
True or false, I guess this is also one of the "security measures".
Of course, the emperor had already appeared, and ordinary people had no time to pay attention at this moment. They all crowded around the windows and looked towards the Meridian Gate.
The Imperial Guards who were on guard along the street all knelt down on one knee, making a uniform sound of armor scraping together, demonstrating the great strength of Daqian in their magnificent momentum.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live the Emperor!!"

"Pingshen!"
After a while, the deafening roar of the mountain fell, and Jing Guoqing, who was standing at the top of the city, also spoke his first words.
With the blessing of his inner strength, his powerful voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and also made the faces of the teahouse guests look a little more excited.
How noble the Nine-Fifth Master is. On weekdays, they never have the opportunity to look at the dragon's face and hear the holy voice. Therefore, most of them dare not speak out at this moment, for fear of missing a word.
And Jing Guoqing did behave like an emperor. He lightly shook his sleeves, took the message from the eunuch, and then slowly recited:
"Thunder begins with lightning, and the sound of majesty precedes the departure of troops."
"Therefore, when watching electricity, one is afraid of thunder; when listening to sound, one is afraid of the power of soldiers..."
"..."
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear and cloudless.
At this moment, all noise seemed to have disappeared, and only Jing Guoqing's voice echoed in the air word by word, reaching into the sky.
In order to be understood by the common people, this statement is not too obscure, but it does not lack solemnity and majesty, which is enough to show that the person who drafted it is of high standard.
However, no matter how well the message is written, there are always some people who don’t care much about these things.
For example, the shop assistant who was sent by Wei Changtian to buy mung bean cake just now was not in the mood to listen to what Jing Guoqing had to say, and his mind was filled with the four taels and nine cents of silver he had just earned.
"This, this master..."
Panting, he placed three boxes of cakes stacked together in front of Wei Changtian. The shop assistant wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "The mung bean cake you want..."
"Oh, let's put it here first."
Wei Changtian glanced at Jing Guoqing on the top of the city one last time, then stood up slowly and walked towards the door of the teahouse.
"I'll come back and pick it up after I finish my work."
"ah?"
When the store clerk saw him walking out, he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly followed him and reminded him: "Master, you must not go out now!"
"Didn't you listen to those soldiers? Anyone who dares to go out at this time will be regarded as a traitor!"
"It doesn't matter, just remember to keep the three boxes of cakes for me."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian kept walking and quickly reached the door of the teahouse as he spoke.
And his behavior naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The tea guests didn't know what he had eaten, so they couldn't help but stare at him with very strange eyes.
The two Imperial Guards outside the door were already holding on to the hilts of their knives at their waists, and after looking at each other, they wanted to come to investigate.
Then the next moment, Wei Changtian strode across the threshold with a swaggering step and stood on the long street where there was no one except the Forbidden Army...
"Bang! Bang!"
After all, he still couldn't ask a single word, and he didn't even see Wei Changtian's movements clearly. The two forbidden soldiers were blown into the air like kites with broken strings, and blood gushed out from their mouths.
The bright red blood drew an arc in the air, and then fell like rain, leaving two long blood stains on the ground.
"...there are assassins!!!"
After a moment of dead silence, the surrounding forbidden troops immediately surged towards the place like a tide.
The weapon was unsheathed, shouts of killing and curses were heard one after another, and a man in golden armor rushed towards Wei Changtian, and then flew back one after another with blood splattering.
"Bang bang bang!!"
"Canglanglanglang!!"
"ah!!"
"Yes, it's Wei Yanluo!!!"
"..."
When the Three Thousand Long Sword was unsheathed, someone finally recognized Wei Changtian, and the screams of "Wei Yanluo" were filled with unbearable fear.
And now that "Yam Luo", which only existed in the storytellers' mouths before, has finally appeared...
Then Daqian Capital officially fell into the Asura Hell from this moment on.
