Chapter 953 Clouds cover the sun and swallows return to their nests (5)
"Your Majesty! Let's go!!"
Meridian Gate City Head.
There were crowds of people, and there were a lot of unsheathed weapons.
Under the city wall, the inner and outer three floors were already filled with forbidding troops who were waiting grimly. On the city wall, there were about a dozen masters in different clothes standing in front of Jing Guoqing.
An old eunuch knelt down at the latter's feet and urged him in a very urgent tone:
"Your Majesty! The rebels are coming, you must not take any risks now!"
"Then Wei Yanluo appears here so openly and justly because he wants to use the people in this city to keep you! You must not fall into his trap!"
"Your Majesty! Just listen to this old slave's advice! Let's go!!"
"..."
The slightly shrill pleas were heart-wrenching, and the old eunuch wailed as he crawled over and hugged Jing Guoqing's legs, his expression extremely embarrassed and eager.
In fact, the old eunuch was right.
At this time, most people standing on the top of the city could see what Wei Changtian's true purpose was.
After all, if he only intended to assassinate, then there was absolutely no reason for the latter to be so "whispering".
Therefore, the reason why Wei Changtian is not in a hurry at all is undoubtedly to let all the people see his identity clearly and see how he walked step by step from the tens of thousands of troops to the Meridian Gate...
Obviously, Wei Changtian did not do this just to "show off".
He wanted to use this to force Jing Guoqing to stay.
You know, Jing Guoqing's purpose of going to the morning gate today was to boost morale for the upcoming war.
And now that he appeared alone in the city as the "rebel leader", if Jing Guoqing was so frightened that he turned around and ran away...
It would be better if people didn't know.
But if such a cowardly act was done in public, one can only imagine how the Dagan people would feel.
Your own court and your own emperor can't even deal with Wei Yanluo alone? Will you run for your life as soon as they appear?
So what else is there to fight in this battle? What is the chance of winning?
There is no doubt that as long as Jing Guoqing escapes at this moment, no matter how he tries to remedy the situation later, he is destined to cause irreparable damage to the confidence of the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital.
This is of course something Jing Guoqing cannot bear.
But if you don’t escape...
"..."
Staring intently at the figure not far away who was surrounded by countless long swords and taking away several lives with every step he took, Jing Guoqing's expression turned gloomy to the extreme.
one person.
Wei Changtian is the only one...
The hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched, Jing Guoqing said nothing, struggling in his heart.
He didn't know whether Wei Changtian really wanted to kill him or was just bluffing.
After all, both can make sense.
But you must know that in the face of these two situations, the responses you should take are completely different.
If it is the former, then no matter how damaged the morale of the military and public opinion is, he will definitely escape.
But if it's the latter, if Wei Changtian actually doesn't have the ability to kill him, he just wants to use his own fear to stage an "empty city plan"...
He didn't care about the imperial soldiers who were still dying under the city, nor the old eunuch who was begging beside him.
Jing Guoqing slowly closed his eyes and slowly loosened his fists in his sleeves.
As the king of a country, he quickly forced himself to calm down, and all the details quickly passed through his mind.
Then at a certain moment, Jing Guoqing seemed to have thought of something, suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward among tens of thousands of eyes, and shouted angrily:
"All officers and men obey orders!!"
"Whoever kills this thief will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold! He will be granted the title of king with a different surname!"
"I'll be watching from here!"
"Never take a step back!!"
"..."
...
It's like the roar of a dragon falling from the sky, and like a shot in the arm.
When Jing Guoqing shouted these words amidst the despairing wails of the old eunuch and the shocked eyes of countless people, the soldiers of the imperial army who were besieging Wei Changtian under the city wall all turned red in the face in an instant, and their hearts surged.
There was a strong will to fight.
All this is not because of the sentence "a bounty of ten thousand taels, and a king with a different surname", but because of the tough attitude expressed in Jing Guoqing's words.
No one is willing to sacrifice their lives for a monarch who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
But now, since Jing Guoqing has said, "I will never take a step back," they are naturally willing to fight to the death for this.
"kill!!!"
"Long live your Majesty!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The roar was several times louder than before, and there was no longer any need for officers to supervise the battle. The golden-armored Imperial Guards rushed toward Wei Changtian one after another with red eyes like crazy, as if they were completely different from just now.
The people in the shops on the street seemed to have suddenly recovered from their fear, and cheers such as "Kill the thief" and "Kill him" resounded throughout the capital.
Many warriors even rushed out of the shop and spontaneously joined the team that besieged and killed Wei Changtian.
For a time, there were more than double the number of people on the street than before. Although the scene was chaotic, it made everyone in Dagan who witnessed this scene feel their blood boiling.
Ever since Wei Changtian arrived in Linchuan, the entire Daqian seemed to have been shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
But now, with Jing Guoqing's words, this haze has disappeared, replaced by only genuine excitement and happiness.
It can be said that since the defeat of the Battle of Xinfeng, the Dagan people have never been as united as they are now.
At this moment, everyone wanted to tear Wei Changtian into pieces. Everyone who had some cultivation skills had already run to the street. Looking down from the sky, he looked like a dense ant colony.
But Wei Changtian, who was in the center of the "ant colony", did not show any panic because of this. Instead, there was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.
I guessed it right.
As expected, Jing Guoqing did not escape.
In fact, Wei Changtian had already made such a judgment before walking out of the teahouse.
It wasn't that he knew Jing Guoqing very well, he just felt that the latter must think that he didn't dare to fight to the death.
After all, there is still the matter of the Son of Dao...
Because he was afraid of being "taken advantage of" by others, he was just bluffing... Jing Guoqing would definitely make such a judgment, and then conclude that his murder was fake and his intention to kill was real.

snort......
With a sneer, the sword formation around him suddenly spread outward, from the previous several feet to more than ten feet in an instant, and the number of lives taken away by each breath also increased from the previous dozen to hundreds.
And at the same time, Wei Changtian's pace gradually began to speed up, no longer as slow as before.
Now that Jing Guoqing has expressed his stance, there is no need for him to write any more ink.
"boom!!!"
The next moment, under the dull gazes of countless people, a ghost-faced red snake dozens of feet long suddenly appeared above the crowd, casting a huge shadow as if it covered the sky and the sun.
The fishy wind suddenly rises, and the Yin Qi rolls around.
As Wei Changtian's most powerful destiny beast at present, Zhulong's own strength has basically reached the first level.
Coupled with its eerie appearance, it instantly gives people a chilling feeling like falling into purgatory.
"This, what is this..."
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured down on the head. Looking at the menacing candle dragon above their heads, the blood in the hearts of everyone on the street was half cold at that moment.
But Wei Changtian would not stop just because they were scared, nor would he show any mercy or soft-heartedness.
With a wave of his hand, the candle dragon dragged its long snake body and crashed into the crowd from the air, instantly smashing countless people into a ball of blood, mist and flesh.
"ah!!!"
"Monster, monster!!!"
Heart-rending wails were heard in chaos, and there was no longer an inch of "pure land" on the long street, with blood and scraps of flesh falling on every corner.
This scene was undoubtedly extremely bloody.
But Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to everything and didn't even bother to take a look.
He just waited for the candle dragon to pass by him and suddenly turned over and jumped on the snake's head. He immediately used the three thousand swords to open the way, and like a real Yama, he rushed straight towards the Meridian Gate not far away.
