Chapter 397: The Capital City Changes Dramatically, Thieves Enter the City
The military and horse department office, the third one entered the hospital.
Many people gathered around.
Shen Qing squeezed in and saw Wei Chengye who was in shock.
He was in a very bad state at this time, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be scared out of his mind.
Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, and Yang Henshan were also here. When they saw Shen Qing arriving, they all nodded.
Shen Qing hurriedly asked: "What...is going on?"
Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, and Yang Henshan looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Zeng Weifeng said, "It's up to me."
He looked at Shen Qing with a serious face and said: "General Zeng came back just now and said that he met the leader of the Huangtian Sect, Taoist Huangtian. Lord Lan was no match for him and was beaten to death on the spot."
Hearing this, Shen Qing's expression changed.
Lan Gongliang was a martial artist in the Kongyou realm, so he died like this?
Are you kidding me?
Shen Qing's face became a little ugly: "Is this true or false?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's true." Zeng Weifeng continued: "Previously, Mr. Lan had discovered traces of a large number of Huangtian Sect members outside the city. Today, we also eliminated a canal department. Now it seems that the Huangtian Sect is coming. The people there are far more than that, they have big plans.”
Shen Qing said: "Has the palace notified you?"
Zeng Weifeng nodded and said seriously: "We have just sent people there, and we have also sent people to patrol outside the city. In short, we all have to be very alert now, there may be big trouble next."
Shen Qing agreed: "In this case, we shouldn't waste our time here. Let's go, everyone, start moving quickly and patrol and deploy defenses. If something goes wrong in the capital, we and I will not be able to afford it. "
"That makes sense, let's go!" Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, and Yang Henshan all reacted and made arrangements quickly.
Shen Qing also quickly called Yu Haibei, summoned all the officers and police officers from Xiu Mu who were on duty, and sent them out to patrol the southern district of Kyoto.
At this moment, Shen Qing suddenly felt a heat in his arms.
He hurriedly walked into a remote corner and took out the psychic mirror.
A rare news came from Shen Xiaohu after a long absence.
"Leave quickly! Our holy religion raises its religion to attack the capital! The Taoist Master is here in person!"
Seeing these few words, Shen Qing was shocked and felt chills running down his spine.
Without any hesitation, he put the psychic mirror in his arms and ran directly towards his home.
When something happened suddenly, Shen Qing had no reservations and didn't care about the many taboos in Kyoto.
He directly used the Great Moving Void Technique, took a few steps across, and returned home.
Auntie, elder sister Shen Fang and others were collecting shoes and doing needlework in the back house of their home.
At this time, he was very surprised to see Shen Qing suddenly appear at home.
The maid on the side raised her head and said, "Hey, Lord Marquis, why are you back suddenly?"
Shen Qing said without any nonsense, "Get ready to clean up and prepare to leave immediately."
Long ago, after being reminded by Shen Xiaohu, he prepared a secluded manor outside the capital specifically to avoid disaster.
Now it comes in handy.
Seeing Shen Qing's serious look, the aunt and others didn't ask any questions.
Countless past experiences have proven Shen Qing's judgment.
As a result, everyone was extremely obedient and packed their things quickly without even a hint of complaint. They seemed to have become accustomed to it.
In addition, preparations had been made before, and at Shen Qing's request, the whole house quickly finished cleaning up.
Three carriages were lined up neatly at the entrance of Wu'an Hou Mansion, and everyone boarded the carriages in an orderly manner.
Li Yuyao, who was standing in the mansion, didn't know why Shen Qing suddenly did such a thing and asked everyone in the mansion to leave the city.
She looked around with her big, bright eyes, thoughtfully.
After a while, she summoned the maid next to her with a bare hand and said in a low voice: "Xiao Hong, go to the Li Mansion and tell them what happened here, and then go directly to the city gate to follow me."
The personal maid who followed him nodded heavily and walked out quickly when no one was paying attention to her.
Li Yuyao followed everyone and silently stepped onto the carriage.
"drive!"
The wheels rolled slowly, heading towards the city gate.
After handling the affairs in the house, Shen Qingyou ran towards the Shanhe Division and informed Huangfu Rou of the matter.
As expected, Huangfu Rou was surprised.
They were in the Shanhai Division and had always dealt with all kinds of intelligence. They had never heard of the news that Huang Tianjiao was going to attack the city.
She didn't know many of the details.
However, based on her trust in Shen Qing, Huangfu Rou had no doubts.
"Husband, if it is as you said, the Huangtian Sect is going to attack the city, then you'd better go hide outside the city. It happens that the outer city is also your patrol area. It's just a loss of morals for you to go there, and you can't choose your responsibilities. Find out what's wrong with you."
"Compared to the so-called achievements, your safety is more important in my eyes." Huangfurou said softly as he looked at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What about you?"
"Don't worry, your wife is not a good-for-nothing woman. She has some ability to protect herself." Huangfurou said solemnly, "You don't have to worry about me."
Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and discerned Huangfu Rou's thoughts.
She wanted to take this opportunity to climb up and compete for the top position.
Huangfu Rou also seemed to see through Shen Qing's thoughts and said, "Husband, did you just want to knock me out and take me out?"
Shen Qing was stunned.
She really got it right.
Shen Qing restrained his expression and said, "If I leave you here alone, I am indeed a little worried."
"My husband, you are wrong. I am safest here. They will not easily touch us."
Huangfu Rou said seriously, "According to the intelligence collected by the Shanhai Division over the years, the Huangtian Sect should not be underestimated. It is suspected that they have inherited the ancient times."
"If they really want to concentrate the power of the entire sect to attack the city, it is hard to say what will happen to the capital."
"Do you think the court will lose?"
"Not necessarily."
Huangfu Rou continued, "The foundation accumulated by the Ji family over the past 900 years is extremely terrifying. We don't know the specific extent. The Huangtian Sect may not be able to get any benefits."
"So what you mean is..." Shen Qing was puzzled.
Huangfu Rou said seriously: "My father has told me since I was a child that eggs should not be put in one basket. You are husband and wife, and you are one body. If we are both outside the city, then if the court wins in the future, we will have a hard time explaining. On the contrary, if we are both in the city, the victory of Huangtian Sect will be extremely disadvantageous to us."
"The best way is for you and I to guard one place each. No matter what the result of the two parties is in the future, we will have more room to maneuver."
Shen Qing said: "Then isn't this putting you in danger?"
Huangfu Rou, who has always been serious, smiled and said: "If I really fall into danger, don't I still have you, my husband?"
Shen Qing is a very decisive person. Seeing Huangfu Rou's determination, he stopped persuading her.
"Okay, if you find that the situation is not right, I will come to take you out of the city."
"I know the seriousness of the matter."
Shen Qing turned and left the Shanhai Division, and went straight to Yu Haibei and ordered: "We patrol the capital day and night, there is nothing to worry about. If there is a problem, it will definitely be outside the city. You take a group of reliable brothers with me out of the city."
Yu Haibei did not allow any doubts, organized a group of people and hurriedly followed Shen Qing out of the city.
Li Mansion.
In a pavilion, Li Zhentian had nothing to do, so he grabbed a handful of fish food in his hand and threw it into the pond.
Under the water, golden and red carp rushed over from all directions, scrambling for food, splashing water.
"You mean, Marquis Wu'an and his family just left the city?"
Li Wenxu, the housekeeper of the Li family, bowed and said, "That's right, it was the maid next to Miss Ten who came to tell us."
Hearing this, Li Zhentian said thoughtfully, "It can be seen that she is a filial child. Let her parents and brothers and sisters go, so that they won't be embarrassed in the future."
"Yes. Then about the matter of Marquis Wu'an..." Li Wenxu asked with his hands clasped in a fist.
Li Zhentian pondered, "Marquis Wu'an is not a person who likes to show off and make trouble. Now that he has moved out with his family, he must have heard some great news. People live by the water and grass, so he must have known some information that I don't know. There may be changes in the capital."
"I have a fort outside the city. You prepare it. Let the young ladies and young masters pack up and leave the city. The elders should also take the most important things in the family and stay there for a few days."
"This... is it really necessary to mobilize so many troops?"
"It's better to believe it than not. I would rather make more trouble than make mistakes and let the family suffer." Li Zhentian said calmly.
Li Wenxu didn't think about it anymore and took the order directly: "Yes, master. I'll do it now."
After more than half an hour, following the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, the Li family also sent a series of carriages to the outside of the city.
Everyone on the street was curious for a while, what day was today, why was it so lively.
…
In the palace, in the Yangling Palace.
A beardless eunuch rushed in from outside the palace and said with an unpleasant face: "Your Majesty, something happened."
Sitting cross-legged on the yellow futon, Ji Zikong opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning.
He said calmly: "What happened?"
"The seventh prince is dead, just found dead at home."
"What happened?" Ji Zikong asked with a slightly changed face.
"I found out that the seventh prince practiced the Great Sacred Body Method, went astray, and died with all his meridians broken."
Ji Zikong frowned and murmured: "Great Sacred Body Method? The one that Lord Shen practiced?"
"That's right, Your Majesty."
Ji Zikong thought of it almost immediately. Shen Qing might have passed them by and did not practice this immortal martial arts method.
He was able to resist the temptation of the immortal martial arts method.
Ji Zikong couldn't help but marvel at it, and subconsciously looked up to Shen Qing in his heart.
This boy is really interesting.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to summon Lord Shen to the palace?"
Ji Zikong said indifferently: "How did the Seventh Prince get this immortal martial arts method? I don't seem to have allowed him to practice other immortal martial arts?"
"This..."
The eunuch subconsciously sensed the meaning behind Ji Zikong's words. This is not going to target Shen Qing.
He pondered the words in his mind and said: "According to what I know, the reason why His Highness the Seventh Prince was able to get this immortal martial arts method is because of General Manager Ji."
"Then summon him to the palace. I should ask him how he became the general manager."
"As you command, I will go to find General Manager Ji now."
Ji Zikong opened his lips and uttered a grim word: "Also, if the guards around the Seventh Prince fail to protect him well, they will all be executed."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The great eunuch withdrew from the Yangling Hall, but not long after he appeared, a soldier wearing iron armor and a haggard face rushed to the front of the Yangling Hall.
With a bang, he knelt down outside the vermilion gate and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I have urgent matters that need to be reported urgently!"
In the Soul-raising Hall, Ji Zikong was sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes like torches, piercing through the layers of obstacles, looking directly at the trembling figure below.
"Why are you so worried?"
Ji Zikong's voice came from the depths of the hall, full of majesty and condescension.
"Your Majesty," Chasi said hurriedly, with beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead, "Master Silan of the Army...he...his old man was unfortunately killed by the Huangtian Sect outside the city..."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.
Emperor Ji Zikong's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of disbelief and shock flashed through his deep eyes.
He stood up suddenly, and the golden dragon patterns on the dragon robe also jumped.
"What did you say? Lan Aiqing...he was actually...killed by people from the Huangtian Sect?"
"yes."
At this moment, the entire palace seemed to be able to feel the turmoil in the emperor's heart, and powerful auras were being suppressed and surging.
The death of the Seventh Prince just now did not make him so excited.
After all, he has many children under his knees. Even if they are all dead now, he can still sow seeds and give birth to new children.
But it's different when it comes to Lan Gongliang.
He is a real Kongyoujing martial artist.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, how many martial arts masters like him are there?
He died so inexplicably, how could you keep him calm?
"Pass my message and summon General Zhao..."
boom!
Before Ji Zikong finished speaking, a thunder appeared in the sky, which was deafening.
Then, he felt a spin and the earth began to shake.
"What's going on?"
Ji Zikong looked extremely dissatisfied. He walked out of the Soul-raising Hall. When he saw the skyline in the distance, he was shocked and speechless.
The whole world seemed to be stirred up by an invisible force, and the roaring noise came like a tidal wave.
On the western skyline of the capital, a strange and unpredictable yellow color floated eerily, blazing like a blazing flame.
Continuous, deafening roars of thunder continued to come from it.
This sight made the eunuch and others on the side shudder involuntarily, and the hairs on their backs stood upright, as if a cold air penetrated their hearts.
Even Ji Zikong, as the emperor, was shocked when he saw such a scene for the first time.
He looked up and saw several spaceships of different shapes and strange styles, like magic weapons from ancient times, suspended in the air with magical aura, releasing powerful pressure.
If it could be concentrated in one place, it would be enough to make the mountains and rivers tremble and the sun and moon to lose light.
A flag with the word "Huang Tian" flying high above it.
Huang Tian's thieves have really invaded the capital! (End of chapter)
