They had already walked out of the restricted area of the Blood Prison. Although they did not give specific directions, everyone knew how to go - the thick imperial court was the most shining existence at night in Yanjing. On the wall of the imperial court, there was a lamp for every five steps and a pillar for ten steps.
, no matter where you are in Yanjing, you can see the light of the imperial court that illuminates the dark night from a distance.
“Time is running out—is there anything I should know?”
"When the first ray of sunlight breaks through the imperial court, it will be the time when Shuiyun Palace ascends the throne." Kui Nianruo said: "Shuiyun must have been preparing on the rooftop platform in the center of the imperial court. When daybreak, she will
Take charge of the Holy Sword and suppress the rebels!"
"How long until dawn?"
Qin Yueshi took out her pocket watch and took a look: "There's about an hour left."
Le Yu nodded and glanced at the city wall in the distance that seemed to be about to burn: "The rebels are attacking the city overnight?"
"Yes." Lin Xue said: "One hundred thousand troops surrounded Yanjing, and they have been attacking the north and south gates since yesterday afternoon. However, it is said that there was heavy thunder and little rain. Although there are not many defenders in Yanjing now, the escape
The returning Kinki soldiers and twelve imperial guards could barely form a defense, and with the help of some servants from aristocratic families, relying on Yanjing's thick walls and abundant defensive equipment, it would not be a problem to resist for a few days."
"There is absolutely no need to attack the city overnight, which means..." Le Yu said, "They are afraid."
"Are you afraid?" Kui Nianruo was a little surprised: "Why do you still attack the city when you are afraid? Shouldn't you retreat if you are afraid?"
"To be precise, it's not the rebel leader who is afraid, but the rebel soldiers." Although he has been in Yanjing for a short time, Qinglan obviously understands the situation in Yanjing very well: "I don't know that delaying the enthronement for three days is out of etiquette.
There may be other reasons, but these three days are enough for the news to spread to Yanjing and cause commotion among the rebels."
"Even if the soldiers were forced to attack the imperial army as rebels out of dissatisfaction or admiration for the general, or because they were coerced by the army, without exception, they all had awe in their hearts for the glory of the Holy Sword. Even because they knew
They are committing the grave sin of losing their heads, and they are more likely to be stimulated by the news of the glorious holy sword."
"Whether it's inside or outside the city, everyone knows that once the Holy Sword shines for thousands of miles, this so-called 'Jingnan' or 'Rebellion' will collapse as quickly as the snow in winter melts in spring. No one can challenge the authority of the Holy Sword.
, no one can resist Hui Yao’s suppression!”
"So when it is known that the new emperor will ascend the throne and even take charge of Huiyao, the morale of the rebels will definitely plummet, and there will even be deserters - when the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be the anniversary of the death of the rebels!"
"In order to save morale, the rebel generals will definitely declare that the news is false and that the Holy Sword does not exist, but this is not enough. They must express their attitude. Therefore, attacking the city overnight becomes the only option."
"The general must take the lead in challenging Yan Jing and show that he does not believe Yan Jing's news at all. Only then can he arouse the blood in the hearts of the soldiers, make everyone believe that he is the victor, and make everyone give up thinking and risk their lives!"
Li Ying suddenly realized: "This is actually a strategy to defeat the enemy without fighting!"
"It's a pity that it failed." Qian Yuya said calmly: "Now only the fall of the holy sword can awaken the fear in their hearts."
"Well, actually I have always wanted to ask a question." Kui Nianruo raised his hand and asked weakly: "Since the rebels are so afraid of the Holy Sword Huiyao, why can't the imperial court negotiate with them?"
"Because they don't believe it!" Lin Xue said: "I can even guess how the rebel generals convinced the other soldiers - since ancient times, it would take twenty years for the holy sword to hang in the air before it could appear holy again! Over the past two thousand years, several
The inheritance of hundreds of emperors, without any exception! No!"
"Not to mention that the rebels don't believe it, in fact there are also many people in Yanjing City who don't believe it." Qin Yueshi added: "Many nobles and wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families have packed up their belongings and gathered in the mansions near the east and west gates - once the city is breached,
They will let the guards protect them to rush out of Enkyo, escape from Kinki, and go to other places to make a comeback."
"There are even many people who have colluded with the rebels. This is why the servants of the wealthy families can only help in the city defense work - the court is also afraid that they will directly open the door and let the rebels enter the city!"
"Who would be willing to believe something like this that has never happened before?" Li Ying sighed: "Moreover, the rebel leaders had no choice but to shoot when their arrows were on the string. They had taken advantage of the 20-year gap between the holy sword and tried to
Challenge the position of the royal family. What they do is to lose their heads. Now may be their only chance to capture Yanjing. How could they believe the threat of the Holy Sword and sit down to negotiate? "
"That is to say..." Kui Nianruo concluded: "Someone must wield the Holy Sword Huiyao."
Suddenly there was only the sound of footsteps on the street. The students secretly observed Le Yu's expression, but could not see any emotion on that handsome face.
Although no one asked, everyone was curious about how Le Yu could save Yan Jing and Ming Shui Yun... because this is a tragic story with a dead end from beginning to end.
call out!
Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky. Le Yu and the others looked back and saw a crimson firework rising from the Blood Prison, carving out several dazzling blood marks deep in the dark night!
"It seems that the Blood Prison is also ready for my escape." Le Yu said, "It seems that one hour is not enough."
"Not far from the Blood Prison is the Punishment Department." Qian Yuya looked in another direction: "According to Bai Ye's information, the Punishment Department has been stationed with Wu Zhu these days——"
"Shameless, I sentence you to death! Death penalty!"
A thunderous roar like a smite from heaven suddenly resounded across the sky, followed by a slightly sarcastic laughter: "Cui Yan, you are already in the past tense, so don't interfere with the current affairs!"
The light in the direction of the Ministry of Justice was suddenly extinguished, and the entire area turned into darkness. It was obvious that there were two martial pillars fighting, so that all the light was owned by them and not a drop could leak out!
"Bai Ye's counterattack will block the military pillar of the Criminal Department for us." Qian Yuya continued: "But it will only block the military pillar of the Criminal Department. Apart from that, Bai Ye will not do anything more for us."
"I see."
Leyu stopped and looked back at them. The streetlight stretched his shadow very long.
"Now, it's time to separate. There may be dangers and even battles on the road ahead. I can only go on alone."
Kui Nianruo said dissatisfied: "We are also very strong, we will not drag you down!"
"But you will affect the speed of my moves." Le Yu smiled and noticed what Kui Nianruo wanted to say. He reached out and rubbed Kui Nianruo's head: "Be good, I will take you to blow up the White Gold Tower in the future.
, I will let you be the first to go up when the time comes. Let me go and be cool by myself today."
Suddenly being treated tenderly by the teacher, Kui Nianruo felt a little at a loss and let out a weak oh. Qinglan glanced at Le Yu and raised her eyebrows.
Lin Xue asked: "Is there anything we can help with?"
"Although I think you are too reckless and reckless, you have indeed shown an independent and brave side." Le Yu said: "I was locked in for three days, and I may have made mistakes in judging the situation, so you can talk among yourself and separate.
What do you plan to do next?"
Qin Yueshi: "I will go home and tidy up. If something happens, I will escape from the east gate with the poet."
Lin Xue: "I'll go to Bai Ye to ask if there are any other ways out of the city, and I'll go to the Imperial Courtyard to ask about the plan of the teacher staying at the school. In any case, I will go to Qin's house to leave a message."
Kui Nianruo: "I, I'll go home and pack everyone's things, and then take them to Qin's house!"
Qianyuya pointed at Qinglan: "I will escort her to Qin's house."
Le Yu looked at Li Ying. Li Ying blinked. Suddenly, the spiritual stage became clear and her whole body relaxed. A confident smile appeared on her face, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "I am a waste."
"If you don't hear any problems, then just act according to your ideas." Le Yu said, "Time is running out, I -"
"etc!"
Qing Lan suddenly looked at Li Ying and pointed at the pancake in her hand: "Is it delicious?"
"Ah?" Li Ying looked at the half piece of chive corn pancake in her hand and nodded: "It's delicious."
"Okay." Qing Lan grabbed the pancake bag from Li Ying's hand, took out a pancake and handed it to Le Yu: "Eat something, otherwise you will be hungry on the way."
Le Yu was startled, then took the pancake and took a bite: "Tsk, it's a pity that I've finished drinking the honey five-flower tea, this is a bit dry."
"Then you can only drink saliva." Qing Lan glanced at him, and Le Yu immediately recalled some fun things in the boudoir, and a lot of saliva suddenly secreted from her mouth.
Qing Lan smoothly distributed the pancakes to everyone, just enough to finish them, and everyone took a piece of pancake to eat. Li Ying looked at the half piece of pancake in her hand, and her eating speed suddenly slowed down, trying to finish the pancake at the same time as everyone else.
"Is this the first time teacher has dinner with us?" Kui Nianruo said suddenly.
Everyone was startled before they suddenly realized - Le Yu seemed to have never had a meal with everyone! When they went to the canteen, Le Yu had almost finished eating, and even if he hadn't finished, he would finish it quickly, which was very unpleasant.
give face.
But when they thought about having their first meal in this situation, no one could be happy.
"The first meal, or maybe the last meal?" Le Yu smiled and finished the pancakes in two mouthfuls, "Since you are all mentally prepared, let me take advantage of the situation and say some things that I have been holding back in my heart.
.”
Everyone suddenly became curious - the teacher has such a vicious tongue, does he still have something to say in his heart?
"Classmate Lin Xue, classmate Kui Nianruo." Le Yu glanced at the two of them: "Although I did nothing wrong, I still feel that I need to say sorry to you."
"Classmate Li Ying, practice your immortal blood magic. As long as you master the power, no matter how chaotic the world is, you will definitely be able to live well."
"Qin Yueshi, I wish you find your right husband."
"Yuya."
Le Yu looked at Qian Yuya, was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched Qian Yuya's head: "Really, thank you for your hard work."
He and Qing Lan looked at each other and smiled, then turned and stepped into the dimly lit alley, the sound of their footsteps gradually disappearing.
"Teacher Qin just finished eating the cake, and her hands were full of oil. Xiaoyu, your hair seems to be shiny too..." Li Ying made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but she suddenly noticed that it had been there for several months.
Qian Yuya, who had a dead face, actually showed emotional fluctuations on her face.
Qian Yuya finished the last bite of pancakes and stared blankly in the direction Le Yu left, feeling something melt in her heart.
