30. Chapter 30
Luochang is the capital of the Huang Empire, which is of great significance, and according to the current national strength of the Huang Empire, the residents of Luochang never dreamed that one day the war would come so without warning and suddenly.
The war between the emperor and the alliance fell into a gelatinous shape, and there was no progress for a long time, this rumor spread all over the sky, everyone has heard more or less, the invincible invasion of the past has not only inflated the self-confidence of the army, but the people are also convinced, and feel that it is a matter of time before the alliance is captured.
Suddenly the soldiers came and went in the streets, and the atmosphere was tense, and they guessed that maybe something big had happened, and what should be done was still done.
The weather in June is hot, the sun shines in the sky, the clouds drift slowly, sometimes blocking the sun for a while, and after a while the sun will shine on the earth again, and the clouds will be cloudy for a while, as long as the light is not so dark that it is abnormal, as if it is going to be a thundershower, there is nothing to worry about.
The sky was overcast, and the sky slowly drifted down a piece of snow-white crystals, falling to the ground, falling to the roof, falling to the hair of pedestrians, clothes, some people noticed, looked up in disbelief. There are more and more snow-white and beautiful crystals, and they are getting bigger and bigger, from a small piece to an area that cannot be ignored. The heat in the air was gradually driven away by the cold, and after a while, the cold people shivered, wearing cool summer clothes, and they couldn't stay outside at all.
In this hottest period of summer, Luochang actually snowed heavily.
If it weren't too cold, the whole Luochang would have exploded, and at this time, the pedestrians hurried home with their bodies on their backs, and the hawkers hurriedly closed their stalls and went back, and the bustling streets were quickly emptied, and only the soldiers who walked solemnly and were full of murderous atmosphere came and went.
The Northern Alliance is about to attack Luochang, if the person who said this sentence is not the prestige of the emperor, Lian Hongyan, who is known as Emperor Yan, and the ministers who were urgently summoned will spit on the cliff, and they will not pick a reliable point for nonsense, so that they can be fooled by a stupid roe deer, and if they say it in their dreams, who is so special to believe. The Tianshan Plateau is far away from Luochang, and at such a long distance, even if the army of the Huang Empire is dry and allowed to drive straight in, it will take a long time to march to the Luochang City Gate. Not long after the alliance declared war on the Huang Empire, he suddenly ran back from the battlefield on the border and said that the alliance army would soon come to attack Luochang.
The ministers don't believe it, they really can't believe it!
The three princes are all capable, especially the first prince, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Western Expedition and is deeply respected, and is the heir to the throne who is expected by everyone, and what he says is not much lighter than the emperor, but such an outrageous thing is completely beyond the scope of cognition, crushing their worldview and throwing it to the ground to step on, are the alliance armies all winged birdmen?!
The emperor didn't believe it either, he knew that his sons were all powerful, they all successfully conquered the labyrinth and obtained the power of the demon god, he believed that all countries, only his own country had such a number of metal users, and they were all from the royal family, how could he not be proud, how could he not be proud. Even such a powerful Huang Empire does not have the ability to teleport the entire army over a long distance, where to fight, otherwise the pace of conquering the world can be faster, and the barbarian alliance that has only developed for several years, where can it get such power!
Because the emperor and many important ministers don't believe it, no matter how strong Lian Hongyan is, he can't force them, not to mention the rest, as long as he doesn't plan to rebel and usurp power, he must show enough respect to the emperor, the emperor doesn't believe it, he can't hold a knife and threaten to dare to hinder him, even if the emperor must die. Although Lian Hongde is not wise, it is rare to be open-minded and tolerant, otherwise which emperor can tolerate his son being respected as Emperor Yan, he is not dead, and he is still in the army with a heart, holding the power of soldiers and horses, even if he can't fight in terms of force, it is still very easy for the emperor to trouble his son, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add.
did not because of the emperor's suspicion and self-esteem, he forced his son to be unbearable, but let it develop, conniving at the prince's unity, the power behind the queen Lian Yuyan El Samey was deeply rooted in the Huang Empire, and appeared in the court in a grand manner, so good that he had no temper, this mind was as wide as the sea, and this endurance was extraordinary. If you want to say that it is just a simple stupidity, it is also a rebellion and became the emperor, it is not Lian Yuyan who single-handedly arranged a one-stop service to put him on the throne, and the dragon chair has been sitting steadily over the years, although it is not wise, stupid, mediocre, and compared with the eldest son who is in the middle of the day, it is extremely mediocre and incompetent, at least no one in the ministers said that the emperor should step down quickly, and let Lian Hongyan ascend the throne as the emperor, and then he can still conquer the world. The emperor's brilliance was completely obscured, and the cadres led by Lian Hongyan did not agree with El Sami, and Lian Hongde became a small transparent sandwiched in the middle, but it was safe, and both sides did enough superficial work on him, and the other party secretly had turbulent waves.
Lian Hongyan had long expected the rebound, so he came alone, asked Lian Hongming to mobilize the troops and horses first, and took advantage of everyone's failure to react, so he quickly gathered the army to prepare for the battle, and sat here to drag the time.
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the hall also felt the cold, because His Majesty the Emperor and many important ministers held a meeting in the hall, and no one dared to come in at this time to report that it was snowing outside, and the flying snow in June was indeed shocking, but who dared to take his own head to vouch for it, in order to report this matter, he would not be asked, and the important ministers who were qualified to attend were all in the hall, and the others who could not attend were marginal figures of power.
Urgently summoned all the important ministers, in addition to informing, but also to make them mentally prepared.
The goose feathers and snow were blowing one after another, and soon Luochang City was covered in a white coat, wrapped in silver, and the lake was frozen, the change came too suddenly, too suddenly, everyone was wearing summer clothes, the wind was whining, and the frozen snot was about to freeze.
The architecture of the Huang Empire is very similar to the Han style, but it is not the same as the Han style, there are differences in many details, which is also normal, take the main hall as an example, to enter the main hall where the court meeting is held, you must first pass through a long corridor, pass through a heavy gate, and enter the inside, when the court meeting begins, the door is usually closed, and there are soldier handles outside.
"What the hell is going on?" Lian Hongde's teeth were trembling, his body was not very good, he dragged his weak sick body all the year round, this freezing, he felt that he couldn't get out of bed for the next few days, the cold entered the body, and he was sorry for his sick body if he didn't get sick. In the scorching summer, those who have the conditions to use ice to cool down will use ice cubes, and it is not good to put ice basins in the hall where the ministers hold court meetings, so the ice cubes are stuffed into the mezzanine layer of the hall wall, slowly melting, the temperature is cool, and after the outside suddenly cools down, the inside of this hall is colder than the outside.
The close attendant, who was also shivering from the cold, immediately bent down and saluted, and hurriedly walked outside the hall.
Lian Hongyan frowned deeply, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and his first reaction is related to the alliance. His face was silent, urging the demon god of the flame attribute to exude heat to drive away the cold, and Lian Hongde, who did not curl up in a ball to keep warm with the emperor's reserve and pride, felt that his body warmed up and breathed a sigh of relief. For the movements and goals of the alliance army that Lian Hongyan mentioned earlier, he has been shaken, and the hot weather is suddenly cold and can freeze people to death, which is not what will happen under normal circumstances at all.
"How sure are you that the Alliance Army is about to attack Luochang?" Lian Hongde asked, he suddenly said this before, he definitely didn't believe it, there was no conclusive evidence, how could he believe that the Alliance Army had the ability to fly to Luochang City, and now he believed it a little.
"I wasn't sure for sure, but now I have. Lian Hongyan's expression was indifferent, "Bet that the target of the alliance is Luo Chang." β
That's why I have the patience to listen to the ministers boasting, what Huang Empire is invincible, how can the big country be afraid of the alliance formed by the barbarians, what alliance is about to attack Luochang, it must be a false rumor, it must be afraid of the emperor, so all abandoned the city and fled, and the lost dog was not enough, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy the Tianshan Plateau and expand the territory of the empire. The complacency and superiority revealed between the words completely lowered the countries outside the Huang Empire to the dust. He served as the governor of the Western Expeditionary Army, mainly dealing with the military, and did not have much contact with the ministers of other departments in the country, and those things were usually done by Lian Hongming, and now he suddenly realized that the expansion of the Huang Empire was too smooth, so that this self-confidence swelled to what kind of Cheng dΓΉ.
"Gamble?" Lian Hongde frowned, mobilizing the crowd for such a word.
"Now, does Your Majesty still have to insist on his own opinion, thinking that it is impossible for the Alliance Army to attack Luochang?" Lian Hongyan asked rhetorically. It is precisely in my heart that I am a little uncertain, so I have to use time to prove that if it is absolutely certain, it is Lian Hongming who comes to listen to the minister's boasting, not him. And this is a little uncertain, more of an uncertainty about the time of the attack, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves, this is the truth.
"This ......" is difficult to practice Hongde.
The waiter who went out hurried back, his face was full of shock, he knelt down with a puff, and his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, Luochang suddenly snowed heavily!"
The crowd was in an uproar and couldn't believe it. What season is it snowing now!
Lian Hongyan was secretly surprised in his heart, how long has it been, from his return to Luochang to the present, but an hour, this time is not enough to mobilize troops, Luochang is the capital, naturally protected by the forbidden army, but the number will not be too much, and it will not all be rooted in the city, orders can be transmitted through distant perspective magic, but the speed of the march is like that, it is impossible to grow wings and fly over.
From receiving the order to gather the soldiers to the whole army to set off, the closer should have reached Luochang City, and the farther ones should have ...... If this snow had fallen in other places before Luochang fell, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to gather along the way. It's icy and snowy, it's cold, and it's not impossible for a soldier to freeze to death halfway in a summer outfit, as long as the other party is ruthless.
The cold wooden floor was suddenly pierced, and a huge green plant burst out, the swaying leaves were as flexible as hands, and the big buds opened like mouths, and slammed into the beams of the house, and the sound of breaking and collapsing, and the roof was punched out of a big hole, and the wind from outside poured in, mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow, and they were all blowing.
The mutation frightened a dry man, the snow outside, and the huge plants that came out of the ground......
Bang bang bang -
Huge green plants emerged one after another from under the floor, the open buds were like a bloody mouth, and the leaves swayed, all of which attacked Lian Hongde.
Lian Hongyan's eyes were fast, the sword light flashed, the buds fell neatly like a human head to the ground, the light flashed all over his body, the magic costume had been completed, the sword stabbed at the floor, and the power of the flames was injected into the ground, and sure enough, the wooden floor cracked one after another, drilling out one green plant after another, with long teeth and claws, the underground of the hall seemed to have become a nest of plant monsters, some were burned by the power of flames, and they were on fire, struggling to run to the minister, and the whole hall was a mess.
The sword piercing into the ground increased the input of magic power, and the huge plants in the hall were ignited by the flames that spread from the bottom up, and they turned into ashes in a short time.
Then, the door opened.
The heavy door to the outside of the main hall slowly opened, and everyone looked at it in unison.
The beautiful femininity is gentle and gentle, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, without shoes, the white and delicate feet are very beautiful, stepping on the floor to show a stunning beauty, under a closer look, there is a layer of green light full of life.
"Good day, ladies of the Huang Empire. Mu Yanran greeted with a smile, her eyes swept over the others, and fell on Lian Hongde, who was sitting on the dragon chair, her smile deepened, "I am really frightened to be lucky enough to see the emperor of the Huang Empire, as long as I think of being able to personally cut off the head of the emperor and sacrifice it, and use the blood of the emperor to calm this anger, I feel extremely honored!"
"Bold!" Someone immediately scolded, as soon as the words came out, a green plant suddenly rushed up from under him, directly strung gourds, in the frightened eyes of everyone, the corpse sprouted one by one, growing rapidly, the corpse was visibly shriveled, and finally only a large handful of blooming flowers could be seen.
Cruel and ruthless methods deterred ministers who held their own identities, and they no longer dared to speak out at will.
Lian Hongde gasped, he was embarrassed at this time, and he couldn't raise his head in the future, with the emperor's self-esteem, he forced himself to calm down, and raised his hand to signal Lian Hongyan not to be impulsive.
"Your target is me?"
"To be precise, it is the entire Luochang City, the respected emperor. Mu Yanran smiled cutely, her demeanor was elegant, and her eyes didn't blink, as if she had just planted a handful of flowers just now. "Luochang is too far away from the alliance, even if it is attacked, it is not convenient to govern, but it is rare to declare war, there must be a sufficient amount of loot, everyone has worked hard, and you can't go back empty-handed, so there is nothing more valuable as a trophy than the head of the emperor's majesty." β
"If you want to blame, blame yourself as the emperor. β
Being taken so seriously, Lian Hongde couldn't be happy at all.
ββ¦β¦ Breaking into the palace alone, the courage is commendable, does the alliance think that there is no one in the Huang Empire?"
"How could it be. Secretary General Mu Da glanced at him in surprise, as if he was taking pity on his IQ, "It's so troublesome to march in the ice and snow, how troublesome, the alliance army will go directly to besiege the emperor who is rushing to Luochang, soldier to soldier, general to general, otherwise we will put a spell to clear the imperial soldiers, you can put a spell to clear the alliance soldiers, it is not easy to cross such a long distance, thousands of miles to run over, but it can't be just to send death." β
Lian Hongyan's heart sank, the alliance firmly grasped the initiative, and they completely fell into passivity!
