Chapter 285: Advice From the Grand Master
There was silence.
All the people who were wary of each other just now lowered their weapons in astonishment and looked in the direction of Gongmen Quan.
Really, take action?
Gongmen Quan covered his Po Feng chest, a piece of blood spurted out, and looked at the person in front of him with disbelief.
He doesn't understand.
Why would a Weiwei, one of the Nine Lords, attack him so decisively?
He... is the head of all officials.
He still has a lot to do.
He also failed to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Wuji Alliance.
How could he just die here like a joke, in the hands of his own people.
Plop——
There was a sound of kneeling down.
The guard took a few steps back and allowed Gongmenquan to fall to his knees due to loss of strength.
Because he drew his sword.
The blood from Gongmen Quan's heart was already gushing out like a fountain, and it couldn't stop at all.
Gradually, Gongmenquan could no longer think about things, and the pictures in front of him became more blurry.
"Is this what death feels like?"
Gongmenquan used his last strength and murmured a few times.
Then an imperceptible smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you really gave me a surprise..."
"You've grown up..."
Boom!
Gongmenquan's body fell to the ground.
The guard raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly around him: "The rebels and traitors have been beheaded, and the traitors have not surrendered yet!"
Seeing this scene, the people in Gongmenquan were already red-eyed.
"Kill him and avenge Da Situ!"
Someone shouted such a sentence, which completely changed the minds of Gongmen Quan's subordinates.
At this moment, their goal has become to kill all civil and military officials.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of all the civil and military officials turned completely cold.
With such rebellious thoughts, these people were indeed bewitched by demons.
This Gongmenquan died unjustly!
Just kill them.
We still have to ask the private soldiers who have already rushed closer if they agree.
The two parties fought together instantly.
At this time, the Imperial Guards who had just gone to have breakfast gradually came back.
The Imperial Guards, who obeyed the imperial court, undoubtedly targeted the rebels who were causing trouble.
This farce also came to an end under the strong suppression of the Forbidden Army.
After experiencing such ups and downs, half of the civil and military officials retreated in cold sweats.
But half of the people still didn't leave.
The officials, headed by three Jiuqing and a dozen scholar-bureaucrats, came to the foot of the Demon Suppression Tower and bowed upward.
"My lord, I have met your Majesty and the head of the Gao family."
"No courtesy." Wu Mei waved her hand and said downwards.
He never thought that there would be so many people loyal to him among the hundreds of officials.
In this way, she, Wu Mei, is not without the ability to touch the undercurrents in the imperial city.
"By the way, I still owe Patriarch Gao a big meal, don't I?"
Wu Mei turned around and looked at Gao Qiang with a smile.
After all, Gao Qiang's original stated goal of coming to the palace was to eat at the rich.
"Don't worry, although there is no dragon liver and phoenix marrow in Dawu's recipe, Dawu's imperial banquet is not much different."
"If that's the case, why don't I be respectful and obey orders?"
While speaking, Gao Qiang glanced at the people who were still left behind.
Except for Lucia, the undead lord who was holding Lucia also stayed and did not leave with the Supreme.
It's just that Gao Qiang looked at the way the other person held Lucia, as if he was holding a doll from some anime.
Didn't this guy really awaken to some strange attribute during his lifetime?
Before Gao Qiang could think more, Wu Mei's voice continued to come.
"This time the banquet will be held at Da Situ's Mansion. I'm going to help Da Situ sort out his belongings."
"Do you want the Gao family to go and see it together?"
Gongmenquan’s relic?
Listening to what Wu Mei said, Gao Qiang subconsciously thought about whether there might be something related to the Wuji Alliance.
After all, Gongmenquan can be regarded as a high-ranking member of the Wuji Alliance in this war game.
Out of curiosity, Gao Qiang readily agreed to Wu Mei's invitation.
Since Gongmen Quan had already been crowned, and all the officials were leaderless, everyone was able to move freely in the palace.
Soon they arrived outside the side hall where Gongmen Quan usually lived.
The door to the side hall was pushed open by two soldiers.
What caught his eye was the dark scene in the palace.
Seeing this scene, Wu Mei's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"It's still the same as when I was a kid."
"So is there a feast in there?"
Under the temptation of delicious food, Shasha had already jumped in first.
But Jiuluo behind him frowned.
"This side hall feels a bit uncomfortable."
After arriving in the hall, not only Jiuluo, but also the rest of the people clearly felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
There is a large piece of candles placed in the center of the hall, which are divided into four pieces according to southeast, northwest and northwest.
However, some of the candles have already been extinguished.
In addition to candles, a golden statue of Bodhisattva is placed in the most conspicuous position in the temple.
Strangely, the chest of the golden statue seemed to have been stabbed with a sharp sword, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Wu Mei frowned, and there were a few drops of sweat on her palms.
"It shouldn't be right. When I left the palace a few days ago, this statue didn't exist yet."
At this time, the statue shook slightly.
Yu Fu immediately stepped forward and drew his sword, looking at the position of the Bodhisattva statue with vigilance.
However, a little head popped out.
"Hahaha, why are you so scared?"
Sasha's cheerful laughter made everyone feel relieved.
"By the way, I found this thing in this statue."
Sasha took out an envelope from the wound on the chest of the Bodhisattva statue. The craftsmanship of this envelope was obviously not a product of the Great Wu Empire.
And there were a few big words written on the envelope: Your Majesty Wu Mei personally.
"For me?"
Wu Mei stepped forward quickly and took the envelope from Sasha's hand.
Driven by curiosity, everyone quickly surrounded Wu Mei, waiting for Wu Mei to open the envelope.
Tear——
The outer layer of the envelope was torn off.
Wu Mei spread out the envelope and read the words on the letter.
[When Your Majesty sees this letter, I guess I am no longer here, right? 】
"It was left by the Grand Tutor."
Wu Mei understood that the tone must have been written by the Grand Tutor Gongmenquan.
Then she continued to read.
【I don't know who will kill me, but please remember, Your Majesty, I don't blame Your Majesty, and Your Majesty shouldn't blame me. 】
【I learned from the elder Tianji of the Wuji League, so as long as I am alive, I will be the opposite of Your Majesty. 】
【And the following content is my last advice to Your Majesty. 】
【Before all the candles in my hall were extinguished, I escaped from the sight of the Grand Tutor Shangguan Hongcheng. His horror is beyond description in a few words. 】
【And, Your Majesty, please be careful of the still alive Chai Hong. The Grand Tutor Chai Hong died two years ago, and the Wuji League has not sent new people to arrive. 】
"How is it possible?" Ling Yaning was the first to exclaim.
