Chapter 520: Look down on me
"You've really decided not to see him?"
"I... I don't know!" Gongsun Lingyu shook his head as he struggled in his heart.
Nie Fenghua sighed again: "That's it, wait for you to think about it, and then make a decision.... I still have to help Lin Bai these days, so I don't have time to accompany you, you can cultivate by yourself!"
"Yes, Master..."At this moment, Gongsun Lingyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he heard Nie Fenghua's words, he swallowed it back and nodded in response.
...
And at this moment, on the side of the Imperial City.
As night gradually fell, a large number of Praetorian Guards gathered at the gates of the Imperial City, guarding against the handles, not to mention the cultivators, not even a bird could fly out.
In a dark shadow not far from the east gate of the imperial city, two figures, where they were hiding, their expressions were extremely anxious and nervous, it was Zhu Lie and Peanut.
At this time, the two of them deliberately dressed up in disguise, and their appearance was completely similar to before, but their appearance changed, but the internal force of the dantian could not be completely hidden.
"Brother Zhu, what should I do?" Looking at the many Praetorian Guards gathered at the city gate, Peanut frowned and asked in a low voice.
Before, the two of them, along with other cultivators, rushed out to fight the Praetorian Guards when they were paraded through the streets by the Sun and Moon Sect, and the two of them were lucky, and after the rescue failed, they finally escaped by luck, but at this moment the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them, because most of the cultivators in the entire imperial city have been arrested.
Zhu Lie and Peanut did not dare to appear in the downtown street, because there were search Janissaries and imperial guards everywhere, and at this moment, by the night, they finally sneaked to the east gate, but they were blocked by a large number of Praetorian Guards at the city gate.
"Ma De, this emperor is simply a madman, he actually ordered the entire city of cultivators to be arrested..."At this moment, hearing Peanut's words, Zhu Lie was also full of fire, gritting his teeth and scolding.
After a pause, Zhu Lie frowned, and exhaled: "With the current situation, if we stay here for a little longer, it will be dangerous, we must find an opportunity to leave the imperial city as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be searched sooner or later..."
"But there are so many Praetorian Guards here, if we want to break in, we will undoubtedly throw ourselves into the net." Hearing Zhu Lie's words, Peanut's face was also extremely depressed.
At this time, Zhu Lie turned his head and saw a wooden building at the foot of the city wall not far away, his eyes suddenly lit up, so he patted Peanut's shoulder and pointed in the opposite direction of the wooden building: "You go over there and wait for me first." ”
"Brother Zhu, what are you doing?"
Peanut's face was confused, Zhu Lie didn't respond, turned around and smiled mysteriously at him, then bent his waist and quickly touched the wooden building.
Peanut frowned, didn't ask more, and just as Zhu Lie was about to approach the wooden building, he also urged his figure to sneak into the other side.
Call...
Within a few seconds, I saw a flash of fire from the wooden building, followed by a raging fire, which burned and instantly enveloped the wooden building.
The moment the fire started, he saw Zhu Lie, urging his figure to quickly converge towards Peanut.
"What's going on?"
"There was a fire..."
"Quick, go over and have a look!"
Suddenly, seeing the fire of the wooden building, the Praetorian guards guarding the gate of the city were immediately alarmed, and then in a shout, more than half of the guards rushed towards the wooden building, holding various tools, and began to extinguish the fire.
"Let's go, take this opportunity!" Seeing this scene, Zhu Lie smiled slyly, and beckoned to rush in the direction of the city gate, and the Praetorian Guards who stayed at the city gate at this moment walked more than half, and there were only a few dozen left.
At this moment, Peanut finally understood Zhu Lie's intentions, his face flashed with a hint of excitement, and he rushed over with Zhu Lie.
"Who?"
"It's two cultivators, they're going to rush out of the Imperial City..."
"Mader, are there any fish that have slipped through the net here?"
Seeing the figures of Zhu Lie and Peanut, they suddenly appeared, and the Praetorian Guards who stayed at the city gate shouted one after another, but Zhu Lie and the two were too fast, and there was no warning, so before those Praetorian Guards had time to deploy the formation, they were broken through the defense line by Zhu Lie and the others.
Just in the blink of an eye, Zhu Lie and Peanut rushed outside the city gate.
At that moment, looking at the wilderness outside the city gate, Zhu Lie and Peanut were extremely excited, and they were not worried about the Praetorian Guards chasing behind them, so they accelerated the speed of their figures, and in less than ten seconds, they threw the pursuers behind them farther and farther.
"Haha, Brother Zhu, your move is really good, let's rush out. ”
"That's, I, Zhu Lie, am in the Haolan Continent, and I'm also a well-known figure, so let's quickly find a safe place, and then find a way to find Brother Lin Bai.."
When they were about to completely get rid of the chasing soldiers behind them, Peanut and Zhu Lie were extremely proud, but at this time, the two were surprised to find that among the chasing soldiers behind them, a figure was straddling the war horse, the speed was very fast, and the distance was shortened in a blink of an eye.
Through the night, seeing that it was the Praetorian Guards leading the guards, Zhu Lie and Peanut both changed their faces.
Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence, as soon as the guards came to the east gate to inspect the situation, they encountered Zhu Lie and Peanut escaping from the imperial city, and under such strict defense by the Praetorian Guards, there were still people who could escape from the imperial city, which made the guards very annoyed, so they chased them out directly.
Although the strength of the Wei Army is not as good as Xiang Aotian, at this moment, the strength level has also reached level forty-five. So under the full outburst, he quickly caught up with Zhu Lie and Peanut.
When the distance was less than ten meters, seeing the appearance of Zhu Lie and the others, the Wei Jun immediately recognized them, and these two people also participated in the riot of the Sun and Moon Sect during the day, and their faces became complicated.
And at this time, because the speed of the three of them was very fast, the Praetorian Guards behind them were thrown away from afar, so the guards were in a complicated mood, so they shouted loudly: "Hurry up and stop."
Hearing the shouts of the guards, where would Zhu Lie and Peanut listen?
Seeing this situation, Wei Jun was very anxious, and shouted again: "The two of you during the day, risking their lives to attack, planning to rescue the Sun Moon Sect and others, but they have some relationship with Lin Bai?"
Hearing these shouts, Zhu Lie and Peanut still did not pause in the slightest, but they glanced at each other, thinking to each other, what is this commander going to do?
At this time, Wei Jun's words came again: "If the two of you are Lin Bai's friends, stop, let's have a good talk, speaking of which, we are our own people.."
Own?
Suddenly, hearing this, Zhu Lie and Peanut paused, and they all stopped, turned their heads and looked at the guards at the same time.
Seeing that the two of them finally stopped, Wei Jun took a deep breath, slowed down, stood more than ten meters away, and said slowly: "If my guess is right, the two of you are friends who accompany Lin Bai and participate in this recruitment competition." ”
After Lin Bai's identity was exposed, the royal family carried out a carpet inspection in the entire imperial city, and the identities of Zhu Lie and Peanut were quickly found out.
"You said that you are Lin Bai's friend, how can I detail you?" At this moment, Zhu Lie squinted, looked Wei Jun up and down, and asked vigilantly.
At the same time, Peanut also looked at the guards tightly, with a vigilant face.
Wei Jun smiled bitterly and said seriously: "When you did it on the street before, you should have seen that you didn't use all your strength against me at that time, if I hadn't intentionally let you go, you would still be standing here now?"
Hearing this, Zhu Lie and Peanut looked at each other the same, thinking of the situation during the day, both of them were a little silent, because what Wei Jun said was the truth, speaking of which, at that time, Zhu Lie felt that there was something wrong with this commander, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be his own person.
Seeing that the two were silent, the guard exhaled and continued: "I stopped the two of them, I have no other purpose, I just want to ask the two of you to help me pass a word to Lin Bai, if you and Lin Bai converge, just tell him that our guards will wait for him in the broken temple outside the imperial city for the next two days, and after three days of the Sun and Moon Sect, he will be beheaded, and he is running out of time."
After saying this, the guards didn't care whether the two of them believed it or not, so they hugged their fists, and then turned around and returned to the imperial city.
"Brother Zhu, do you say what this person said is true or false?" Seeing the figure of the guard walking away, Peanut took a deep breath and asked Zhu Lie.
At this moment, Zhu Lie also looked solemn, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Kenneng is true, because the news that the Sun Moon Sect was beheaded cannot be wrong, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a means of the royal family, and I want to use this way to lure the Lin Bai brothers out."
As he spoke, Zhu Lie sighed lightly and looked around: "But now we don't know where Brother Lin Bai is, I'm afraid that we won't be able to meet him within two days... Brother Lin Bai missed the opportunity to save people.."
Just when Zhu Lei sighed about this, he was on my side.
In just a few minutes, Nie Qianyu and I arrived in a forest outside the imperial city.
Looking at the imperial city not far away, the surrounding city walls are almost full of defenders, almost five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, the security is very strict, and my mood is also sinking.
Nima, this imperial city is now like an iron bucket, and it is too difficult to sneak into it quietly.
Just when I was secretly depressed, at this moment, Nie Qianyu was also frowning and observing the imperial city in front of him, and at this time, his expression moved, as if he sensed something: "In the woods in the distance, there is movement. ”
As he spoke, Nie Qianyu's figure flashed, and he walked quickly towards the woods in the distance.
I was stunned, and I quickly urged the figure to follow.
After arriving, he saw that between the trees, there were two figures speeding quickly, and feeling the terrifying aura coming from Nie Qianyu, both of them had their faces changed greatly, and after quickly stopping, they put on a defensive posture.
And when I saw them, my face was overjoyed, and I hurriedly said to Nie Qianyu: "Seniors are slow, they are their own people!"
At this moment, Nie Qianyu urged the internal force, and the figures of the two were already enveloped, and when they heard my words, the figure quickly landed on the ground, and then withdrew the power that shrouded the two of them.
"Brother Ring?"
"Brother Lin Bai..."
At that moment, they felt that the terrifying power that enveloped them disappeared, and the two of them were still a little apprehensive, but when they saw me appear, they were both surprised and happy.
These two people are Zhu Lie and Peanut.
"Why are you here?" I asked, surprised, as I walked over quickly.
"It's a long story!" Zhu Lie smiled bitterly, and at this moment, Peanut also looked at me excitedly: "Brother Lin, it's great to see that you're okay." ”
At this time, Zhu Lie took a deep breath, calmed down, and told in detail what happened to him and Peanut in this day.
Knowing that the people of the Sun and Moon Sect were tied up by the Empress and paraded through the streets, a wave of anger suddenly rose in my heart, and my eyes were instantly bloodshot, and I clenched my fists: "Ma De, this Empress is relying on the strength of the royal family, and it is getting more and more excessive, especially the code, I did everything alone, he can't catch me, and he is angry with the Sun and Moon Faction?"
At this moment, Nie Qianyu, who was on the side, heard this, his face also sank, and he sneered: "This male emperor has always been conceited, when he first ascended the throne, I had contact with him, this person is self-serving, self-respecting, is a difficult person to get along with, when he summoned me to be a royal offering, I refused..."
"I didn't expect that the longer I became the emperor, the more pampered this person became, the more arrogant he became, thinking that everyone in the world should obey his wishes.."
Hearing Nie Qianyu's words, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect that he and the empress would have such a relationship before.
But thinking of the conversation between Nie Qianyu and that Ji Rufeng before, I was also relieved, no wonder Nie Qianyu had been sarcastic about Ji Rufeng at the beginning, in his opinion, doing things for such a conceited emperor was completely embarrassing the face of a cultivator again.
After thinking about it, at this moment, Zhu Lie took a deep breath and continued: "Not only that, but when the Sun and Moon Sect was parading the streets, many cultivators came forward and planned to rescue the Sun Moon Sect, but they were suppressed by the royal family and finally failed..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Lie smiled bitterly: "Peanut and I also shot at that time, but then we escaped by luck... After calming down the chaos, the emperor ordered that all the cultivators in the entire imperial city be arrested."
Hiss..
Hearing the news, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Nima, this empress is really a madman, his own methods are unpopular with the people, is he going to kill anyone who opposes him?
Shocked, I took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, realizing that this news seemed like a good thing for me.
And at this moment, Nie Qianyu also said lightly: "This emperor is completely killing himself by doing this." You must know that this time the recruitment contest gathered in the imperial city, in addition to the disciples of the sects of various continents, as well as some royal families of various countries, he actually ordered all of them to be arrested... He actually wanted to use his identity as emperor to force the cultivation world of the Seven Continents to completely surrender to him. It's ridiculous!"
Hearing Nie Qianyu's words, I nodded in agreement, but at this moment, I became more and more worried, and said: "But this matter, so intensified, the male emperor has lost his mind, I am afraid that the situation of the Sun and Moon Sect will become more and more dangerous..."
Nie Qianyu nodded, and was about to say something, when Zhu Lie thought of something at this moment, and hurriedly said: "By the way, before Peanut and I escaped, we met the Praetorian Guard, who was the commander of the guards, and he said that it was his own person, and asked me to send you a message to meet you in a broken temple outside the imperial city."
Subsequently, Zhu Lie said the time of meeting. Then he told me that three days after the Sun and Moon sent everyone, they would be beheaded by the male emperor.
I was anxious to hear the news, but I still exhaled deeply and tried to calm myself down.
After a big battle in the palace before, my contact with Tang Zegong was also broken, and until now, there is no news of Gongsun Lingyu.
The ruined temple that the guards are talking about, I know, is just east of the outskirts of the Imperial City.
At this moment, I endured the anxiety in my heart, discussed with Nie Qianyu, and decided to go and meet with the broken temple and the guards first.
After discussing, Zhu Lie and Peanut were also extremely excited, and they spoke one after another: "Great, let's meet this time, we must do a good job..." Made, I was hiding in the Imperial City before, but I was suffocated. ”
"Brother Lin, what do you say, I will listen to you."
Hearing the words of Zhu Lie and the others, especially looking at their firm faces, my heart warmed, but under the eyes of Nie Qianyu, I still exhaled and said seriously: "Brother Zhu Lei, Brother Peanut, don't interfere in this matter!"
"Why, Brother Lin Bai, do you look down on me?" Zhu Lie's face was stunned, his eyes widened, he looked at me tightly, and said loudly with a very unhappy look.
At the same time, Peanut also blushed: "Brother Lin, you..."
