Chapter 64: The Night of the Imperial City Ruining Palace
Nangong Junyi pondered for a moment and replied: "According to the information I found, after Jia Shiwen's brother and sister lost the competition that night, they immediately left Fengmanlou, and now they should go to Qingyutang in the northeast corner of Pengcheng, where the location is relatively remote and a little hidden. β
Wang Yanxu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go now!"
Shen Yunfei arched his hand and said, "Second son, my subordinates have also gone!"
Nangong Junyi nodded and added: "Go ahead, tomorrow morning, we will meet in the private room on the third floor of the Fengmanlou!"
Wang Yanxu and Shen Yunfei nodded and turned around and walked out of the room, but Nangong Junyi sat quietly at the desk and drank the freshly brewed tea, he seemed to be still thinking about something, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was nearly three watches, the night was dark, the moon was like a mirror, and the stars were dotted, but it could not illuminate the thick black.
Yuzhou, Xiacheng, on the golden red city wall, countless torches lit up the entire imperial city, five flags were erected, the big Yu character was printed on the flag, fluttering with the night wind, this Yu character represents the Yu royal family that unified the entire Kyushu continent for more than 10,000 years, and also represents the long vicissitudes of history, the glorious years.
Passing through the golden gate, a wide road of white marble, a straight road, reflecting the luster of the bright moon, is particularly conspicuous in the night, and then passing through another golden gate, or this straight white marble pavement, guiding the road ahead, and a red gate, and finally seeing the majestic and towering hall in front, this is the Ruining Hall of the Imperial City.
The golden palace, the red beams, the eight wide doors, a golden and red handover plaque on the lintel is engraved with the Ruining Palace, and a neat row of lanterns is hung under the eaves at the top, and the hazy firelight makes the Ruining Hall have a glimmer of light under the dark night sky.
In the Ruining Palace, a rather majestic middle-aged man, walking slowly in the main hall, is the master of the Kyushu continent, Emperor Yu Ningkun, he is worried at the moment, his brows are tightly locked, he was originally personable, the handsome face is much haggard, it seems that there is something troubled that makes him very entangled, completely insomnia, a few meters behind him, there are two maids waiting on the side, waiting at any time.
Above the main hall, there was always a sigh from time to time, since he learned the results of the battle between the humans and demons in Kunlun Mountain, he was overly worried, and it was often difficult to sleep, and he couldn't count the first sleepless nights.
After all, the battle between the people and demons in Kunlun Mountain, on the surface, seems to be the victory of the human race, but most people don't know that Yangzhou has also appeared in a new gate of the other world, and the demon king Zhu Yan also appeared in Yangzhou through this gate of the other world, and has attacked Ningcheng and several small cities, this news is only known to a few people, and it is strictly blocked. Because the stakes are so high, if it causes panic in the entire Kyushu continent, I am afraid that the human race will be in chaos, and now we can only do our best to find out how this gate of the other world appeared, and eliminate this force, only then can the world be considered peaceful, otherwise if the same situation occurs in other states, then there is no second Kunlun Mountain to block, after all, the Kunlun Mountains and Mountains have an innate barrier and countless powerful magic circles to bless, just formed a natural pass, as long as Kunlun Mountain is guarded, the demon beast army of the Demon Domain will not be able to step into the Kyushu continent at all.
Suddenly, a beautiful and moving woman walked into the hall, just looking at it from a distance, there was a bewitching temperament, heroic, she was wearing a red brocade robe, a black shawl outside, a golden belt around her waist, black cloth boots on her feet, and a golden hosta in her black bright hair. She walked slowly to Yu Ningkun, smiled, and bowed.
Seeing this, Yu Ningkun waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, let's talk about it, what news has been discovered?!"
I only heard her say to Yu Ningkun: "Tell the Holy Lord, my subordinates have found out a little bit of news, this matter must be related to Abbot Mountain, and the Shentu clan in Qingzhou should also be closely related to this matter, but the details have not yet been clarified." β
Yu Ningkun was angry and shouted: "It's been a few months! I've asked you to check for so long, and you haven't found out the details yet? Is this what you gave me?!"
Qin Lingxin's face was calm, and she replied slightly apologetically: " Tell the saint, the subordinates have done their best to investigate, but Abbot Mountain is located in the east of the Kyushu mainland, is an isolated island facing the sea, in addition to the daily material needs and Kyushu mainland exchanges, it is really difficult to explore any news, and since the autumn and winter of last year, the defense of the abbot mountain has become more and more tight, we can not approach at all, before we have sent more than ten disciples to pretend to be tourists to the abbot mountain, the result has been cut off for more than a month, they are afraid that they have unfortunately died, it is really difficult to break through, I have arranged for several other elite disciples to go to the island again to explore, and please forgive the saintοΌβ
"However, we confirmed one thing through Penglai Island, that is, this time the battle between men and demons in Kunlun Mountain, only Abbot Mountain has not sent a person to reinforce, it is said that it is difficult to send elders and disciples when there is something important. And we have been investigating in Qingzhou for several months, and there are no disciples in Abbot Mountain who have stayed in Qingzhou recently, after all, Qingzhou is very close to Abbot Mountain, almost across the sea, in the past, as long as they have material needs, they will generally go to the city of Qingzhou, and will stay for a few days. This matter is too abnormal, so the subordinates concluded that there must be something wrong with the abbot mountain, please allow the subordinates to continue the investigation, and they will definitely give a detailed explanation to the saint!"
Yu Ningkun's face softened a little, and he still said seriously: "Find out as soon as possible, this matter is related to the survival of the entire Kyushu Continent, you must hurry, if you Butang is not manpowered, you can hold this order and call on all the people of Taixue Jiutang to participate in this matter." β
After speaking, he took out a token from the golden imperial robe and handed it to Qin Lingxin. Under the dim light, the golden luster of the token is still very bright, and there are nine dragon patterns carved around, one of which is a big Yu character engraved in the center, and the Yu character in the middle is like a ruby, flashing with mysterious light, this token is the token with the highest status of the Yu royal family, Yu Huang Ling! See this token as if the emperor is coming.
Qin Lingxin took the token, carefully put it into the inside of his clothes, bowed and replied, "Thank you for your trust! Your subordinates will definitely complete the task as soon as possible!"
Then he said: "The subordinates also found out the situation in Qingzhou, at present, the three major families in Qingzhou are standing, the Shentu clan is the most powerful, followed by the Zhou clan and the Huangfu clan, each of their three major families is attached to a lot of small families, opposing each other, and there have been countless battles in the past year, and now the Zhou clan and the Huangfu clan are a little unable to resist the Shentu clan, it is said that the Shentu clan seems to have obtained some mysterious power, and there are several fierce generals under it, and the strength is comparable to the powerhouse of the Wuji Heavenly Court realm." β
Yu Ningkun was surprised: "How could so many powerhouses of the Infinite Heavenly Court suddenly come out?"
Qin Lingxin replied: "The subordinates are also very surprised, after all, the six major sects may not be able to have a few powerhouses of the Infinite Heavenly Court, and there are several in a Shentu family in Qingzhou right now, and there may be any secrets behind it, but the war in Qingzhou continues, and the subordinates can't find out immediately, they must wait for the war to end before they can investigate carefully, and I hope that the saint will understand!"
