Letting the future queen, the former saint of the Dragon Temple, and the top powerhouse in the human kingdom, Princess Naoyan, plant the time bomb is really overkill.＞≥
But there is no other way, only she can do this.
The Heavenly Sacrifice Dragon Altar of Yelan Principality is heavily guarded even in the middle of the night. They want to break in silently and replace a stone slab inside without being discovered by anyone.
In addition to having superb martial arts skills, one must also have very high spiritual cultivation.
Although Grand Duke Lanshi has not yet arrived, the entire Heavenly Sacrifice Dragon Altar is already filled with spiritual masters. If you want to capture the blind spot covered by spiritual power, only a top master like Yan Yan can do it.
And Yan Yan is really strong. It only takes less than three seconds to replace a stone slab that weighs 100 kilograms.
It only takes less than three seconds to pry up the original stone slabs, place the stone slabs with timely detonating explosives/powder, and then remove all traces.
When I returned to the Shadow Pavilion secret base (hotel), I even brought the original stone slabs with me.
"Is it exactly the same?" Sauron asked.
"Exactly the same." said Yan Yan.
Sauron tapped the surface of the stone slab with his fingers, and then listened carefully to the sound. It was no different from the stone slab he had prepared before with the timed detonation gun/powder.
Completely rest assured, even if someone asks to knock on every stone slab to check, there will be no flaws.
Sauron suddenly said: "Assassinating the king of a country will have serious consequences."
Xi Yan nodded.
Sauron said: "Aren't you worried about anything?"
Yan Yan shook her head and said: "You are not worried, so what should I be worried about?"
…
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning!
Grand Duke Lanshi, the king of Yelan Kingdom, left Yelan Palace and headed to the Dragon Altar to worship heaven, escorted by tens of thousands of troops.
Sauron stood looking out the window on the second floor.
Grand Duke Lanshi's heaven-sacrifice procession passed by the central axis avenue a few hundred meters away.
Yelan Palace and Dragon Altar are both located on the central axis of Yelan City, more than ten miles apart, so there is no need to detour.
At this time, the several hundred meters on both sides of the central axis avenue had been completely cleared, and all the people could only see the mighty procession from a distance.
The team of more than 20,000 people was two to three kilometers long.
From Sauron's point of view, all we can see is a huge chariot crown. King Lan Shi should be inside this golden crown, and if nothing else, the grand duchess Princess Moping should also be inside.
There were hundreds of warriors and thousands of soldiers protecting the golden crown.
This kind of protection is completely impregnable and airtight.
If you go out from here to assassinate Grand Duke Lanshi, even if he is the most powerful human being, the probability of success should be zero.
Dragon power is limited, and after killing hundreds of warriors, it is basically exhausted.
The warriors in this world, without their dragon power, are basically like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
It took half an hour for the team of more than 20,000 people to pass through. The scene was really huge.
Sauron looked at the scenery of Landu, the capital of Yelan Kingdom.
It had been two days since he entered the city, but he was still working and recuperating in his room in the dark. This was the first time he saw the city scenery.
This city is smaller than the City of Nulang King, but its small size is limited, and it is also a huge and prosperous city.
According to data, the population of Landu is about 700,000, which is equivalent to about 70% of the Kingdom of Nulang. It is also one of the largest cities in the entire human kingdom.
Compared to the capital city, the alien customs here are much stronger. Almost all the people are golden and blue-eyed, with white skin, brown skin, and even one-tenth black skin.
However, as the rulers of the Yelan Principality, the Lan family is a typical oriental race, not much different from Sauron. On the contrary, the Ashi family has very obvious foreign ancestry.
Sauron couldn't sneak into the heaven worship site, so he could only wait in this hotel and wait for the loud noise!
After the explosion, Sauron must flee immediately. Therefore, this is the last chance to see the scenery of Landu.
…
Around 10:30 in the morning.
Grand Duke Lanshi's team has entered the Dragon Altar in great force.
The Dragon Altar is vast and empty, covering an area of more than a thousand acres. However, there are few buildings, and the only eye-catching thing is the towering monument that is more than 100 meters high.
The reason why it is built high is that it can convey human wishes to the divine dragon in the sky, and then receive the protection of the divine dragon.
Dragon altars like this are found in almost every country.
Every king must offer sacrifices to heaven at least once a year.
An army of more than 20,000 people surrounded the entire Long Tan.
More than a thousand warriors guarded every vital point.
There are hundreds of spiritual masters and spiritual monks in the Dragon Temple, monitoring every corner of the Dragon Altar with their spiritual power.
In the huge square, tens of thousands of troops were arranged neatly like nails.
In the center of the square is the rooftop offering platform with ninety-nine steps.
The 100-meter-tall Tongtian Monument is located on this rooftop platform.
…
At half past eleven!
Qin Tianguan shouted loudly: "Go up!"
Immediately, Grand Duke Lanshi, the king of Yelan Kingdom, led hundreds of civil and military officials up the ninety-nine steps, neither fast nor slow, solemnly and solemnly.
Grand Duke Lanshi walked in the front.
As the grand duchess, Princess Moping of Xiliang, although not favored by her husband, could not change the fact that she was the mother of a country and was only three steps behind Grand Duke Lanshi.
As the side wife, Ji Hui is nine steps behind.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were ten steps behind.
In this strict hierarchy, the entire ruling class of the Yelan Principality guarded the monarch Lan Shi and climbed to the rooftop of the sacrifice platform!
…
Eleven forty-five!
Grand Duke Lanshi walked up the ninety-nine steps and arrived at the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform.
The rooftop offering ceremony covers an area of 300 square meters.
In the center stands a hundred-meter-high monument to the sky, with a giant cauldron placed underneath and lit with incense.
The jade floor in front of the cauldron is the one replaced by Sauron. There are thirty kilograms of fire/medicine bricks that are detonated regularly.
It seems that there is nothing unusual or any trace.
However, at this time, Grand Duke Lanshi was still more than ten meters away from the jade floor.
He and his wife, Princess Mo Ping, were the only two people on the entire sacrificial platform.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting ten steps below, including the concubine Princess Ji Hui.
Qin Tianguan shouted loudly: "Play music!"
Suddenly, hundreds of musicians on the other side of the stairs played elegant music.
Solemn and wonderful!
At the same time, King Lanshi began to kneel three times and bow nine times!
"kneel!"
Grand Duke Lanshi knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Tongtian Monument. Three meters behind her, his wife, Princess Mo Ping, also knelt down and knelt down.
"rise!"
Grand Duke Lanshi stood up, and his wife, Princess Moping, also stood up.
"Walk!"
Grand Duke Lanshi took three steps forward, followed by his wife, Princess Moping.
"kneel!"
Grand Duke Lan knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Just like this, walk three steps, kneel once, and kowtow three times.
After three kneels and nine bows!
Grand Duke Lanshi had already arrived in front of the cauldron under the Tongtian Monument and was standing on the jade floor that Sauron had replaced.
The principal wife, Mo Ping, was just three meters behind him.
What he stepped on was the time bomb made by Sauron.
According to the plan, it will detonate at twelve noon!
…
The time is now, eleven fifty-five.
There are still five minutes until the detonation time!
At this point, all the elegance stops!
All officials were silent.
More than a dozen Qintian officials stared at the hourglass, watching the last golden sand pass away.
As the sun moves little by little, the shadow of the Babel Monument becomes shorter and shorter.
At twelve o'clock at noon, the sun will be high in the sky.
At that time, because the Babel Monument points directly to the sun and shines in the middle, there will be no shadow.
This time is known as the time when you are closest to heaven, so it is also the most suitable time to pray to heaven.
Time passes by second by second.
The whole place was in deathly silence, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
Four minutes.
three minutes,
Two minutes.
One minute!
The time is up, twelve o'clock noon.
The gold sand in more than a dozen hourglasses has completely drained away.
The sun shines directly on the Tongtian Monument without any shadow.
The timed detonation fire/powder made by Sauron did not explode on time.
Grand Duke Lanshi knelt down on his knees, took out the inscription on offering sacrifices to heaven, and began to pray loudly!
"The emperor ascends to heaven and shines upon our land! The blue divine dragon shines upon and bless our people! The spirits of the earth gather together to bring down sweet wind and rain. Everyone is in their own place, and common people live together. Everyone is in their own place, and they are prevalent today and throughout the past..."
It is also difficult for Grand Duke Lanshi, who is now weak and sick, to read this inscription to worship the heaven so brightly and clearly that hundreds of civil and military officials on the steps can hear it clearly.
Only his wife Mo Ping, who was a few meters behind him, could see his slightly trembling hands.
The entire article on worshiping astronomy is less than a thousand words.
In the first few hundred words, there is no mention of war, only the kindness of dragons, the kindness of heaven and earth, and the blessings of all people.
This battle of national humiliation will not be mentioned until the last few hundred words!
I hope that with the protection of the divine dragon and the protection of God, Yelan Principality can wash away its national humiliation and regain its homeland.
At first, Grand Duke Lanshi had some difficulty reciting Tianwen, but as he recited the words of the humiliating war twenty years ago, his blood suddenly boiled.
Then I remembered that his son, Prince Lantu, led an army of 300,000 to storm Helan Pass and was about to break through it.
Just before leaving the palace, I just received the report.
Although the lord of Rouran City, A Shiliren, went to the battlefield in person and performed extremely well in martial arts, which boosted the morale of the Rouran defenders. However, the Rouran City army had been slacking off for nearly ten years and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
In these days of endless fierce fighting, the Helan Pass defenders suffered heavy casualties. They were at the end of their efforts and were about to collapse.
Prince Lantu wrote in his memorial that Helan Pass could be captured in three days at the latest!
Once Helan Pass is captured, the entire Rouran Province will be like an uninhabited land, and it will take at least a month to completely regain the homeland.
Grand Duke Lanshi's blood boils when he thinks of this scene!
The shame of the past can finally be completely washed away!
He has already issued an order to Prince Lan Tu to capture Rouran City Lord Ashiliren alive!
He had always heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Even though he was already frail, Grand Duke Lanshi still wanted to try her.
The humiliation that the Ashi family brought to the Yelan Principality back then was something he would repay a hundredfold today!
As a result, Grand Duke Lanshi chanted louder and louder, more sonorous and powerful, and the two images in his mind kept intertwining.
A moment later, it was the moment when my father, Grand Duke Lan Mu, died in battle twenty years ago.
After a while, he was the one who ravaged Ashi Liren and brought the humiliation of the first blood.
Not only the Ashili people, but also the Sox family!
Back then, his father, Grand Duke Lan Mu, was killed by Count Sauron himself at the gates of Rouran City!
And this time, we were able to destroy the Ashi family and take back Rouran City because of the tacit approval of Prince Nulang, Ji Li.
When he succeeds to the throne and destroys the Suo clan, he will skin Sauron and the others and boil them alive. The Yelan Kingdom will definitely get a share of the pie and eat Sauron's flesh alive to avenge the murder of his father!
Finished reading the article of offering sacrifices to heaven!
The time is now, twelve o'clock and three minutes!
However, the regularly detonated fire/powder brick under his feet still did not explode.
Grand Duke Lanshi stood up and was about to retreat at this time. But he turned around and looked at the hundreds of civil and military officials on the steps and the tens of thousands of troops in the square.
Pulling out his sword suddenly and piercing the sky, Grand Duke Lanshi shouted loudly: "Take back the homeland, wash away the national humiliation, kill all the Ashi family, and annihilate the nine tribes..."
And at this time...
The stone slab under his feet was inside the glass container of the timed detonation device.
"Drop..." A drop of water fell almost silently.
The white phosphorus in the water is completely exposed to the air.
At the same time, the water level under the vessel rose and soaked the quicklime inside.
Instantly, a violent reaction occurred, and the temperature in the entire vessel rose, igniting the white phosphorus.
The burning white phosphorus instantly ignited the kerosene fuse.
Although there isn't much air inside, this little bit of combustion is enough.
After only half a second, the fuse ignited thirty kilograms of fire/powder bricks.
"Kill all the Ashi family and destroy the nine tribes!" hundreds of civil and military officials below shouted loudly.
Grand Duke Lanshi on the altar was filled with passion and murderous intent!
Then……
"boom……"
There was a shocking loud noise and a sky-shaking flame.
The ground beneath Grand Duke Lanshi's feet suddenly exploded!
Grand Duke Lanshi's body was instantly shattered into pieces.
The body of Princess Mo Ping, who was three meters away from him, was suddenly blown away more than ten meters like a kite, and blood spurted out in the air.
The whole place was in deathly silence, and they couldn't believe the scene in front of them.
Their king was shattered to pieces and died violently in front of everyone's eyes.
And their mistress, the first lady, Princess Mo Ping, spurted out blood, her flesh and blood were blurred, and her fragrance was gone.
