Han Jiulin led Hua Chuchu through countless streets, and after witnessing many chaotic situations, Hua Chuchu couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.
She had lived near the imperial capital since she was a child, and she was quite fond of this prosperous imperial capital, but she never thought that the Canglan Empire, which had stood for thousands of years, would turn into the chaos it is now.
A large number of people have gathered outside Qinglong Prince's Mansion. Among them are many people of high status who are sitting in the carriages of luxurious carriages. There are also many common people with low cultivation or no cultivation at all.
These people all came with the intention of taking refuge in King Qinglong's Mansion.
"We all heard that the young prince's current cultivation level is extraordinary. He once defeated the Taoist Master of Taiyuan Peak who was so powerful in Tiandao City outside the Imperial City. We came here because of his fame!"
"Yes, now the imperial capital is about to be fully contributed by the rebel alliance organized by the Demon Cult. With our little cultivation, if we encounter the rebels, we will definitely die without a burial place. Please also ask Qinglong Palace to take us in!"
"We, the Baibihou Mansion, are willing to use most of the money and resources accumulated by our clan in exchange for the protection of the Qinglong Prince Mansion!"
"Our Song family has since become a family under the command of Qinglong Palace. We only hope that Qinglong Palace can take in the children of the clan!"
Now that the outer city of the Imperial Capital has been breached, it is indeed only a matter of time before the rebel alliance assembled by the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect breaks into the Imperial Capital.
As a result, not only the common people in the imperial capital, but also the owners of the major princes' mansions and aristocratic families began to panic, intending to seek refuge under powerful forces such as the Qinglong Palace and the Giant Spirit Palace.
Han Jiulin couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he saw this situation. The rebel alliance assembled by the Demon Cult has not yet completely invaded the imperial capital city, but the city has already become like this.
If this situation continues, how can it be possible to resist the rebel forces assembled by the Demon Cult?
How is it possible to defend the imperial capital city?
However, Han Jiulin could also guess what the owners of many Hou Mansion families were planning at this time.
They all must have felt that the Canglan Empire was doomed. Rather than coexist with the empire, they might as well conserve their strength early and seek a way out after fighting their way out of the imperial capital. Maybe they could become a separate vassal with the accumulated power.
Emperor Canglan was mean-spirited, ungrateful, and deeply suspicious. Therefore, although these people were powerful, they had little loyalty to the Canglan Empire. When the Canglan Empire was prosperous, they naturally seemed to obey his orders. But now that the situation has changed suddenly, they naturally planned to
Go their separate ways.
After Han Jiulin brought Hua Chuchu back to Prince Qinglong's Mansion, he ordered his servants to take good care of him, and then immediately set off to see the old prince to discuss matters related to the evacuation of the imperial capital.
"How did you open this secret passage leading outside the imperial capital?"
King Qinglong couldn't help but show surprise after hearing the news told by Han Jiulin, and then asked.
It should be noted that there are many powerful formations under the Imperial Capital City, and every three years the Empire will send troops to investigate the situation underground. Once any secret passages are discovered, they will be reported immediately to be charged with treason.
Discuss.
Even Qinglong Palace, one of the eight hereditary palaces, is not qualified to dig secret passages in the imperial capital without authorization. If outsiders learn about this matter, Qinglong Palace will encounter huge trouble.
Han Jiulin said: "Jilin told grandpa before that I established a secret force outside the imperial capital, and it was by using this force that I successfully dug this secret passage."
Qinglong King Han Chutai nodded slightly after hearing Han Jiulin's words, glanced towards the buildings in Qinglong King's Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh.
Unless there is a critical moment of life and death, the old prince is naturally unwilling to give up his ancestor's thousand-year inheritance.
"The evacuation thing...let's wait a little longer.
Although the rebel alliance assembled by the Demon Cult broke through a wall outside the imperial capital, the empire has now mobilized eight million troops from various places, half of which are gathered in the outer city."
"Through the formation of these eight million troops in the outer imperial capital, Nangong Lie and Tuoba Xingyuan are now not among the rebels. If the general is powerful, he may be able to repel those rebel alliances."
Although Qinglong King Han Chutai has been grudged against Emperor Canglan for more than ten years, he is only dissatisfied with the emperor and has no intention of rebelling against the Canglan Empire.
After all, the Qinglong Palace is the residence of a thousand-year hereditary prince, and all the ancestors of the past generations have fought bloody battles for the Canglan Empire. The glory of the Canglan Empire represents the glory of the Qinglong Palace.
Although Emperor Canglan was indeed hateful, it was only one person's fault after all, and the Canglan Empire was not hopeless.
Qinglong King continued: "And the princes who were originally stationed in various places in the Canglan Empire, if they learn that the imperial capital is in danger, they will definitely lead troops from all directions. In this battle, the Canglan Empire may not be able to turn defeat into victory!"
Unlike Huaxia, Han Jiulin had no favorable impression of the Canglan Empire, let alone any sense of belonging that he wanted to fight for for it. Moreover, he did not attach much importance to the glory of his ancestors and the millennium-old foundation of the Qinglong Palace.
After all, he is not actually Han Yu, nor is he a member of the Han family.
However, Han Jiulin could understand the old prince's mood at the moment, and understood that the old prince would not leave the imperial capital easily until the last moment.
Losing the thousand-year foundation left by the ancestors of the Qinglong Palace is indeed the most profound failure and shame for the old prince who has spent his whole life on reviving the Qinglong Palace.
It means that his whole life's efforts have finally turned into bubbles and phantoms.
Han Jiulin nodded slightly, and then said: "Grandpa, in fact, the secret passage is not very wide, and it is impossible for so many people from the Qinglong Palace to evacuate the imperial capital at once."
"In this case, we might as well let the outstanding boys and girls from the clans in the Imperial City evacuate first. In this way, even if the old people from Qinglong Palace eventually die in battle, at least the future power of Qinglong Palace can be preserved."
"As long as we retain these new forces, why worry that our Qinglong Palace cannot regain its strength in the future?"
King Qinglong nodded deeply, looked at Han Jiulin and said, "Jilin, you are right. If the rebel alliance assembled by the Demon Cult really breaks into the imperial capital, even if the young people in the clan stay in the palace,
It won’t have any effect.”
"In this case, it is better to let them evacuate first and have the four ancestors escort them all the way to meet Hong Ji.
At the same time, the thousand-year resources and treasures accumulated by Qinglong Palace can also be transferred, in case the situation is truly irreversible."
"Well...Jiulin, you and Lingyun, together with the four ancestors, should evacuate the imperial capital first!"
Han Jiulin frowned, looked at the old prince and said, "But if that's the case, wouldn't you, grandpa, have to face the attack of the rebels alone?"
King Qinglong smiled when he heard this, and then a fighting spirit like a furious wave broke out in his body. He looked outside the palace of King Qinglong, "Only after you all leave, can grandpa fight with those rebels without any worries."
