Mrs. Zhou also knew that the imperial envoy was coming, but she came to convey the order to her old man. With the flood under control, the arrival of the imperial envoy made people less panic.
Under their gaze, they saw a dozen county soldiers and a few people coming from the direction of the shouting. When they looked over, the group of people was only a few hundred meters away.
All the officials rushed to greet him.
Seeing the ox cart where the old man was resting was also parked in that direction, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly followed it.
As we got closer, we could see clearly that the person clustered in the middle was of medium build and fair-skinned. Judging by his fair complexion and temperament, you could tell that he was not a person accustomed to walking in the environment. But because he was on a mission, even though he was very tired.
Even though he was covered in mud and water, he didn't dare to stop and kept walking towards this direction.
Mrs. Zhou had seen eunuchs more than once. Whether it was when she followed her mother to the palace for a banquet, or when the couple continued to give orders after marrying Qi Hongxin, she could really recognize what a eunuch looked like when she saw him.
The white-faced, beardless man clustered in the center should be the eunuch sent by the imperial envoy to deliver the order.
"Congratulations to Mr. Qi, the flood problem has been solved, and the imperial court has also sent you a decree!"
"Master Qi, come out quickly to receive the order. This is a great joy!"
"Prefect Qi?"
"Sir, the imperial envoy is coming soon. Wake up and come out quickly to receive the order!"
When Mrs. Zhou rushed to the ox cart, she saw several officials standing in front of the ox cart and congratulating the people in the cart.
Just seeing that the eunuch who delivered the order had suffered so much and still smiled, he knew that it must be a reward, and the eunuch did not deliberately conceal it all the way. Who would not envy such a good thing?
Congratulating the people in the car, several officials also had some sour emotions.
But even though I was feeling sour at first, after congratulating me, I found that the bullock cart didn't respond at all, and I realized something was wrong.
Even though Qi Hongxin was too tired and fell asleep in the oxcart, the congratulations came from behind. Seeing that the imperial envoy was about to arrive, several officials became anxious for fear of being rude and deliberately shouted loudly. As long as it was not a dead person, everyone inside
It is impossible for people to have no reaction at all.
All the officials immediately looked at each other with a bit of shock. One official reluctantly said: "Maybe you are too tired."
No one dared to lift the curtain.
But the problem is, they can't keep the imperial envoy waiting, someone has to rush the people inside.
"Husband?" Mrs. Zhou had an ominous premonition. She took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand to open the curtain.
Seeing her old man sitting upright in the bullock cart, looking at her with his eyes open, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when their eyes met.
She scolded the old man in her heart, and said with a little blame: "The imperial envoy is waiting outside, why don't you reply?"
Do you want to scare me to death, she added in her mind.
But when she asked, the old man who was sitting just looked at her, motionless and didn't reply. Mrs. Zhou, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly froze.
Her expression changed slightly, and she slowly touched the old man's face with her hand, feeling cold and biting: "Old man?"
Trembling again, he went to touch Qi Hongxin's breath.
"No!" Mrs. Zhou suddenly screamed, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground, overturned, and the wine and food inside spilled all over the floor.
Everyone seemed to be reminded, and some people also stepped forward, tried it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "You are so angry!"
It turned out that although Qi Hongxin was sitting upright, he had expired. He had been dead for who knows how long.
Place of inheritance·Dragon Palace
The "booming" howling wind made both the big demon and the demon general stabilize their lower bodies so that they could remain motionless.
"Hold on, stabilize the formation." Mr. Qingqiu's face was bright red, and he was faintly pale again. Only where the original break was, fine rays of light were produced, colliding with each other, stimulating the arc. The whole space was agitated, and the power was rampant.
The more repairs are made to the end, the more difficult it becomes, and the weaker demon generals will not be able to move forward.
But because Lord Long and Lord Qingqiu had already taken precautions, the repair speed was still very fast.
However, no matter how fast the repair speed was, it exceeded expectations, and every minute and every second put Long Jun under unexpected pressure.
"Pa" an arc light exploded. Qingqiu Jun's face suddenly turned pale, but he showed a bit of joy. Another place was repaired. He saw that the big demon only needed a moment to activate the entire formation, but the dragon on the high platform
Jun groaned, blood dripped from her eyes and the corners of her mouth, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Determined not to look away, she threw herself in again and attacked other great demons and demon generals.
Because she knew that it was useless to panic and worry now. The best solution was to repair it as soon as possible.
But that glance just now made the little fox inside Qingqiu Jun extremely anxious.
She had determined that the person in Long Jun's body at this time was Su Ziji, and the relationship between her and Su Ziji was different from that between Long Jun and Qingqiu Jun. So she was so anxious that she suddenly felt that she had gained something.
Control.
"Hold on! The formation will be repaired soon!" As soon as the little fox took control of the body, he immediately turned his head and shouted towards the high platform.
Long Jun, who was standing there, was bleeding from all his orifices. Anyone who looked at him could see that he was obviously unable to hold on any longer.
After the little fox shouted, he instantly lost control of his body.
"What happened to me just now?" Qingqiu Jun was startled by "his" sudden voice.
She has a cold personality, and she is eager to persuade Long Jun to give up, but Long Jun doesn't listen. No matter how worried she is, she will not commit the crime. This is the duty of a minister. She has already advised her, but whether she listens or not is up to you.
.
Just like what I did just now, I didn’t even use the honorific, I just yelled at him to insist. This simply ruined Qingqiu Jun’s image.
Qingqiu Jun became confused: "Why did I suddenly shout to Mr. Long?"
This is definitely not her style.
Could it be that what she subconsciously shouted just now was what she was saying in her heart, blurted out because she was anxious and affected by the power disorder in the formation?
Although this is possible, it may be too small.
However, Lord Qingqiu doubted himself, but his men continued uninterrupted and re-engaged in the task of repairing the formation.
"It's just a little closer, it's almost done, it's almost done..."
"It's not possible. I can feel that this Dragon King's body has collapsed from the inside and his strength is about to be exhausted." On the high platform, Su Ziji really tried his best, but he really couldn't hold on anymore.
Tens of thousands of tons of power, even if there is only a trace of the aftermath, without the help of the Dragon Palace to resist and share the burden, it is really a difficult thing to carry it with only the pure body.
This is not the myths and legends we saw in our previous lives. The gods and demons here are not omnipotent. In fact, the demons here are not too powerful in terms of physical strength compared to human beings who practice Taoism. The same is true for the Dragon King.
