Li Longji suddenly woke up from his dream. Since the death of Princess Taiping, he has never been like this again. At this moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat. Thinking of the chaos he saw in his dream, this current
The face of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was full of gloom.
Early the next morning, Li Longji sat on the throne and listened to the officials below reporting on the situation in various places.
"Your Majesty, I have written a memorial for you!"
Li Longji looked down and recognized that the person who had just spoken was someone from the Qintian Prison. He didn't take it to heart at first, but suddenly remembered the nightmare last night and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there were changes in the sky last night, and there may be chaos!"
As the Qintian Prison official finished speaking, Li Longji's expression remained unchanged, but he had already linked the two things together in his heart.
"How can national affairs be decided based on a guess!"
An official was talking to the side, and Qin Tianjian did not refute, but just told the scene one by one he observed last night.
Yang Guozhong, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, was constantly thinking in his mind at this moment. Logically speaking, according to his temper, anyone who dared to say that someone was causing trouble in the prosperous Kaiyuan era he created would have long been scolded. But now
, although he did not show any joy or anger, this in itself can also show his attitude.
It has to be said that although Yang Guozhong was promoted by Li Longji because of the favored concubine in the harem, he still has some talents, especially his ability to flatter others.
Dang Ji walked out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the market recently that the Eight Formation Diagram created by Zhuge Wuhou in the past is about to be released. It is said that this object has the ability to change the stars and turn the world upside down. If it is obtained by someone with evil intentions,
In other words, even if the country is peaceful and the people are safe under His Majesty's governance, and all nations come to court, turmoil will inevitably occur. What Qin Tianjian said may be related to this matter."
"Oh!"
After hearing this, Li Longji finally spoke. Hearing that it was related to Zhuge Kongming, a strange man from hundreds of years ago, he immediately became interested. Of course, the most important thing was that Yang Guozhong boasted about him in his words, which made Li Longji feel very happy.
.
Yes, in Li Longji's heart, Yang Guozhong's words can only be regarded as boasts at best, not flattery.
"Ai Qing's words make sense. In order to avoid being used by people with evil intentions, you must bring me the Eight Formations Diagram."
Faced with Li Longji's words, Yang Guozhong shouted sagely.
"If Zhuge Wuhou's spirit in heaven knew that the Eight Formations Diagram was in the hands of His Majesty, I'm afraid he would also praise it. It is also an honor for the Eight Formation Diagrams to be in the hands of such a famous emperor as His Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Although Li Longji interrupted Yang Guozhong's flattery, the smile on his face was the greatest satisfaction for Yang Guozhong.
The other officials sighed when they saw this, and some old officials even shook their heads.
Yang Guozhong thanked the Holy Grace. Although he did not see the shadow of the Eight Formation Diagram, let alone the Eight Formation Diagram, he did not panic at all.
Even if he doesn't find the Eight Formation Diagram in the end, he can just find something to fake it. Anyway, no one has seen the real Eight Formation Diagram, so who can reveal it.
Even if it gets to that point, Yang Guozhong can say that he has been deceived, so he doesn't worry about those things at all.
On the other side, Xun Rizhao followed his senior brother to the market, but accidentally got separated from him.
There was a not-so-good thing going on in the middle, but Rizhao, who was optimistic by nature, quickly regained his good mood and even used his unskilled Cloud Cutting Step to walk back towards the Xuanwu Gate.
When he was about to arrive, Xun Rizhao suddenly lost control again while flying into the air. This time, there was no Ma Yunfeng to catch him, so Xun Rizhao fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that Xun Rizhao was thrown, so he recovered quickly. He rubbed his butt and stood up. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. Why was his hand so wet?
Putting it in front of his eyes, bright red instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Ah!"
The sudden appearance of blood on his hands scared Xun Rizhao, and he screamed and stepped back. He accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground again.
This fall made Xun Rizhao, who was a little frightened, suddenly come to his senses. He looked around and found several corpses not far away, with blood flowing out from under their bodies.
"Brother! Brother! Are you okay?"
When Xun Rizhao saw that it was his senior brothers from the Xuanwu Sect, he hurriedly squatted in front of them. Unfortunately, when he touched their bodies, their bodies had already started to become cold.
"Oops, could it be that the enemy is attacking? I'm sorry to the senior brothers. I have to go back to the master to report the news first, and then I will bury the senior brothers when I come back."
Xun Rizhao bowed to the corpses in front of him with both palms and ten, and then hurried towards the Xuanwu Gate.
The road was full of corpses of brothers and sisters. People he knew in the past died tragically in front of his eyes, which made Xun Rizhao feel very sad. Suddenly he heard the sound of fighting in the distance. He immediately put away the sadness in his heart and went back.
Mountain rushes away.
"Grandpa, the master!"
When Xun Rizhao arrived, he saw Ma Yunfeng fighting with a woman wearing a veil and holding a dust in her hand.
"Grandpa, Master, let me help you!"
Xun Rizhao rushed over as he spoke. Ma Yunfeng was startled and said hurriedly: "Rizhao, go quickly!"
It's a pity that Xun Rizhao, who saw his enemy at this moment, didn't notice the dead elders around Ma Yunfeng, nor did he hear Ma Yunfeng's words.
When the man saw this, he chuckled. He was such a reckless boy. He immediately hit Ma Yunfeng with one hand and turned the floating dust in his hand with the other hand. The soft floating dust was like a steel needle and knocked Xun Rizhao away.
"Rizhao!"
Ma Yunfeng didn't care about his own injuries at this moment, and immediately took action desperately, so that the woman could no longer care about Xun Rizhao.
Xun Rizhao, who was knocked into the stone wall, suddenly found a white circle appearing in front of his eyes. He reached out curiously and touched it, and the white circle immediately shattered.
"I'm finally out!!!"
There was a loud shout, and the earth shook instantly. The woman hit Ma Yunfeng in the chest with her palm. Seeing the strangeness, she hesitated. However, when the vibration became stronger and stronger, a sense of crisis inexplicably arose in the woman's heart, and she immediately ignored it.
Yunfeng got on his horse, turned around and fled quickly.
Anyway, Ma Yunfeng's heart has been shattered by him, and there is only that boy left in the entire Xuanwu Sect. There is nothing to be afraid of. I will just check again in the future, the woman comforted herself in her heart.
"Grandpa, the master!"
Xun Rizhao was in a trance. What just happened made him think that he was still dreaming. It was not until Ma Yunfeng shouted that he realized it. He immediately ran to Ma Yunfeng and helped him up. Ma Yunfeng looked at the strange movements around him and thought in his mind
I remembered something passed down by the Xuanwu Sect masters in the past generations.
Legend has it that a man who once followed Zhuge Wuhou and fought with their ancestor Ma Dai was sealed in the Xuanwu Gate.
When Ma Yunfeng learned about it from the previous sect leader, he thought it was just a rumor. After all, it had been almost six hundred years since then. How could a mortal live for such a long time?
But the sight in front of him, coupled with the loud shout just now, made Ma Yunfeng suddenly believe that it was not just a rumor.
Now that things have happened, Ma Yunfeng hopes that this matter is true. After all, his heart is broken at this moment, and only Xun Rizhao is left in the Xuanwu Sect...
Ma Yunfeng pushed that name back into his heart and waited quietly.
