In front of the palace gate, Chu Xin stepped on Zuchi's neck and spat in his face.
Chu Chi tried to struggle, but Chu Xin twisted his toes and crushed Chu Chi's neck.
A third-level cultivator cannot die even if his neck is broken. Chu Xin summoned two Onmyoji masters, used a magic circle to seal Zuichi, and then led his troops to Canglong Palace.
The battle of the palace ended and Liang Yuming was defeated miserably.
He fled back to the mansion in a carriage and waited quietly for news about Beiyuan.
I haven’t lost, I haven’t lost yet!
And the ancestors, wait until the ancestors kill Wu Xu, let the ancestors eat tens of thousands of people, and then go to the palace to kill the faint king!
A moth floated over and flapped its wings next to Liang Yuming's ear.
Liang Yuming received the news from Beiyuan.
He took off his dragon robe and threw it into the brazier, where it burned to ashes in an instant.
…
Outside the city wall, Zhong Shen wiped the blood on his body and looked at Yu Shan in front of him with a smile.
Yu Shan was the first to rush down the city, led the Flying Eagle Army, and directly killed the rebel general.
The rebels were leaderless and instantly dispersed. Ten thousand men and more than three thousand were killed, and the rest surrendered.
Yu Shan leaned over and saluted: "Commander, can this battle be a good one?"
Zhong Shen laughed loudly and said: "What do you mean by substituting merit for crime? You have done great merit, and it is your turn to do it, General Wuwei Camp."
It was uncomfortable to have Shi Xun around. He thought that by clinging to Yu Shan, he would be able to rely on more people, but he didn't expect that he would snatch his seat and restore his position, but there was no hope.
A sergeant walked up to Zhong Shen and whispered a few words. Zhong Shen was stunned for a moment, then turned to Yu Shan and said, "You are here to clean the battlefield and count the prisoners of war. I have other important matters."
…
In Anshuyuan, Emperor Zhaoxing looked at the extinguished candles and laughed loudly.
"Wu Xu! Rebel! You still died in front of me!"
Sui Zhidao: "I wonder what the situation is like on the E Star of Guiyuan."
"Wu Xu is the strongest person in the world, and now he is fighting to the death. Even if Guiyuan Exing survives, he will at most be left with a broken body."
"The three elders of Canglong Palace are still alive."
"Let them live a little longer so as not to alarm the true god. Let's get started without further ado."
Queen Chai Qiuci walked into the inner courtyard of Anshu Courtyard and pulled up a piece of root from the locust tree.
The locust tree sang a sad song:
"Who knows about my hatred?
Who can forgive my injustice?
My hatred has no end!
My blood is still wet!
I'll kill!"
Emperor Zhaoxing looked at the locust tree expressionlessly: "We are just a couple, and you hate me so much?"
"I'll kill!"
The queen grabbed the roots of the locust tree with both hands and tore them hard. The locust tree wailed continuously and blood oozed from her body.
Emperor Zhaoxing followed the roots and sucked all the blood into his mouth. His body continued to expand, and a rotten smell rippled around.
The queen let go of her roots and set up a barrier in front of Emperor Zhaoxing, turning the rotten smell into yin and yang and dissipating it with the wind.
The blood kept flowing, and the locust tree turned into a rotten tree amidst the wailing sound.
…
In Longtu Pavilion, the prince felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He knew what had happened, blood poured into his pupils, and his eyes turned blood red.
Chen Shuncai looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
The prince nodded: "I used too much force and felt a little tight in my chest."
Chen Shuncai had been working in the palace for many years and knew that this kind of thing was very dangerous: "Quick, quick, send the imperial doctor here. Your Highness, what are you doing? The concubines of the East Palace are around day and night, why bother fighting for this moment?"
Liang Yuyao said sarcastically: "The prince takes care of his body and indulges in wine and sex, which is not the way to be a king!"
The prince looked at Liang Yuyao, his eyes shining: "Sixth sister, I'm tired, come and have a rest with me!"
Liang Yuyao was furious: "You have insulted me several times, what do you mean?"
The prince smiled and said: "Don't deny it, do you really not have me in your heart? Are you not happy to see me?"
Liang Yuyao got up angrily and fought with the prince.
The prince endured his heartache and played with Liang Yuyao.
…
Li Qi Teahouse, Li Shabai's paintbrush fell to the ground.
Under the curtain, the two women were still posing, but Li Shabai could no longer draw a single stroke.
He Fang said from the side: "Painter Li, are you tired?"
Li Shabai shook his head, waved his hand, and asked the two women to put on their clothes and leave the studio.
Seeing that there was no one else in the painting studio, He Fang asked: "The painter is anxious to call He to the tea shop, but he doesn't know why?"
Li Shabai coughed and said, "To save His Highness."
He Fang was startled: "What does the painter mean by this?"
Li Shabai said: "Your Highness has been monitoring Liu Xuxing's foreign residence, right?"
He Fang nodded and said: "To be fair to the painter, this is Master's order."
"There is a fierce battle in Beiyuan tonight. If Your Highness does not leave, I am afraid your life will be in danger."
"The painter is serious," He Fang said with a smile, "I know that the Lantern Man has encountered someone from the Gu sect and is in a tough fight, but in the end it will not affect me."
"Lantern Man? A member of the Gu sect?" Li Shabai shook his head and said, "Do you smell the bloody smell? Many people died in Beiyuan, and many people died in the east of the city!"
He Fang asked in surprise: "Who are they?"
Li Shabai did not answer, but continued: "Did you smell the breath? A star has fallen."
"Could it be that evil star?" He Fang exclaimed, "Who has the ability to defeat that evil star?"
"A third-grade person also died. He was such a powerful third-grade person. It is difficult to find that kind of aura among mortals. He is only one step away from the star official."
"Wu Xu?" He Fang's heart trembled, "I wonder what happened to that silly boy Xu Zhiqiong."
Li Shabai pulled off the half-painted scroll, took out a new roll of paper, closed his eyes and meditated.
He wanted to outline the picture, but after two strokes, his fingers shook again, leaving a messy ink mark on the scroll.
"Painter, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shabai coughed repeatedly and said: "Someone has been promoted. Such a powerful Qi machine, either the second or third grade!"
He Fang was shocked. Why did so many things happen that night?
"Do you know who the painter is?"
"The mechanism of Qi is weird. The Taoist sect has no way of guessing it, and it's even harder to say who it is," Li Shabai curled up and coughed twice. "There is a fishy smell, like the murderous way, and there is a bit more Yin Qi. It should be a member of the Yin Yang Sect."
"Third-grade Yin-Yang, could it be Han Chen?" He Fang frowned, "He has a fourth-grade cultivation, does he want to compete with Taibu!
Or maybe Taibu has been promoted to the second level?"
…
In the Canglong Hall, the three elders were covered with bruises. Liang Shilu and Liang Gong lay flat on the ground unable to move. Liang Jixiong reluctantly sat on the stone steps. Every time he took a breath, some blood foam would come out of the corner of his mouth.
"General Chu, how is your majesty doing?"
Chu Xin shook his head and said: "No one is allowed to enter the palace without His Majesty's will. I can only guard the palace gate with my sergeants, and I dare not go even half a step further inside."
Liang Jixiong sighed and said: "General Chu, you have been wronged. It's not that your Majesty can't trust you. The situation is critical, and your Majesty has no choice but to act."
Chu Xin smiled and said: "As a minister, how can I care about these things? Second Elder, if you can still move around, go to the palace and take a look in person."
Liang Jixiong was a little dissatisfied. He was ranked second among the elders, but the title of Second Elder was very rude. The correct title was Elder Shengwei.
That's all, why bother arguing with a martial artist?
Liang Jixiong stood up, but after taking two steps, his body trembled and he almost fell down.
Chu Xin stepped forward to support him and said, "Second Elder, if you can't leave, I'll find someone to carry you."
This guy's words are so unpleasant!
Where did the energy come from just now?
What a fierce spirit. Could it be that someone has been promoted?
Who is this person?
Liang Jixiong raised his head, looked at Chu Xin and said, "General, can you detect a qi force?"
Chu Xin touched his scalp and said, "What kind of Qi machine?"
Not every third-grade Taoist sect is so sensitive.
Especially such a vulgar warrior!
Liang Shilu, the elder of Shengde, shouted: "It's the two qi of yin and yang, it can't be wrong!"
Elder Shengren Liang Gongping shouted: "Hurry up and send people to surround the Yin and Yang Division, Taibu has been promoted to the second rank!"
Liang Jixiong said to Chu Xin: "General, take your sergeants and follow me to surround the Yin and Yang Division!"
…
In the Yin and Yang Department, the green lights flashed for a while.
Taibu shuddered as he stared at the astrological disk, carefully feeling the quality of Qi.
"Third grade! Someone has been promoted to the third grade! Could it be him..." Taibu is very sensitive to the Qi machine, and he will not misjudge the quality of the Qi machine like the three elders did. He is convinced that it is the Qi machine of the third rank.
"What is the origin of this qi machine? Why is it disguised as yin and yang qi? Is it another method of chaos? Could it be that..."
Taibu sat in silence for a long time and finally figured everything out.
I discovered before that there was someone in the capital with great talent and a strange promotion. That person was not Yu Shan.
That person is not Xu Zhiqiong.
That man is Emperor Zhaoxing!
He was about to be promoted to the third level and was discovered!
The royal family cannot pass the seventh rank. In order to cover up the truth, he must find the best time.
Wu Xu, the strongest mortal in the world, fell.
The three elders of Canglong Palace fought a bloody battle, and their lives were at stake.
The other three levels are either insensitive, indifferent to worldly affairs, or entangled in the war.
This is the best time, no one can stop him from being promoted tonight.
Emperor Zhaoxing, Liang Daguan's family, everything is under your control.
Taibu couldn't help but tremble, gritted his teeth and said: "After all, it's still you!"
But why pretend to be Yin and Yang?
While I was thinking about it, the silver bell on the door rang.
An Onmyoji came to report: "Master, Chu Xin led troops to surround the Onmyoji!"
Taibu waved his hand and overturned the table in front of him.
You thief! Everyone is your pawn, and you still want to put the blame on me!
…
Jiang Feili rushed to Beiyuan, looked at the ruins all over the ground, and looked at the crying lantern man.
She stepped forward and asked Qiao Shungang: "What happened?"
Qiao Shungang cried so hard that he couldn't speak.
She asked Qu Jinshan again: "Old Deng Shou, what happened here?"
Qu Jinshan cried: "Thousands of households, thousands of households..."
"Are you talking about Chen Qianhu?"
"Wu Qianhu, we Qianhu..."
Everyone was crying, and no one could say a complete sentence.
Only one person doesn't cry.
Xu Zhiqiong did not cry, he rummaged around among the broken bricks and tiles.
"Zhiqiong, please tell me, where has Wu Qianhu gone? Where have you Qianhu gone?" Jiang Feili cried, she realized something.
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent, his hands full of blood, and he rummaged through the rocks bit by bit.
"Xu Zhiqiong, are you so deaf? Did you hear me?" Jiang Feili grabbed Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong gently pushed Jiang Feili away. He found a small bone fragment among the broken bricks and carefully put it away in his clothes.
He collected bones for Qianhu.
He collected corpses from thousands of households.
Looking at the broken bones in her clothes, Jiang Feili trembled and asked, "This, this is your Qianhu?"
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.
Jiang Feili collapsed on the ground and cried hoarsely.
It was difficult to hold back tears when I lowered my head.
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and his eyes became wet.
A group of people came from a distance. Chen Shuncai, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, Bingbi, turned over and dismounted. He frowned and said, "What happened here? Why are there so many corpses?"
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and instantly put back the tears in his eyes.
Chen Shuncai waited for a while, but no one responded. He cleared his throat and said, "The lantern-carrying man heard the order and immediately returned to the lantern-carrying Yamen to wait for dispatch!"
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head, looked at Chen Shuncai and said: "Wait a moment, I will collect the corpses from our thousands of households."
Chen Shuncai frowned and said, "Xu Denglang, don't you know what an imperial edict is?"
"Chen Bingbi, just for a moment, it won't take much time." Xu Zhiqiong showed a smile.
