Volume 1 [Yan Chapter] Dragon Death Chapter 163 Long Qing (39): Whether or not to betray
The back door of the Flame Empire's Imperial Palace leads to a narrow corridor that is equally deep. This promenade and the connecting back door form a forward direction that is almost a one-way street.
Many times before Yegu had traveled through this corridor, he had been involved in some of the more hidden or important things of the empire on the orders of the emperor.
He never imagined that a member of the royal family, who was almost ignored by the imperial family, would be valued by the emperor. And today, in order to maintain greater balance and tranquility, he has to face the object of his former honor.
As most of the officials and soldiers in the Emperor's chambers were dispersed, the tone of the place changed from brightly lit to a combination of dim and dim.
Although some important lights had not been completely extinguished, and they would not finally fall silent until twelve o'clock in the morning, Ye Gu could still faintly see some light when he lowered his body and sneaked around.
It came from the hall on the first floor, and seeped out from the room where the emperor was sleeping on the second floor.
"It seems that the guards are either with the Emperor or have been lured away. Ye Gu secretly guessed, walked in and over a guardrail at the end of the corridor, and lightly dropped his feet to the ground.
The scene on the first floor of the main hall caught his eyes.
Tumbling wine glasses, food scraps, and a few unclean, twisted objects that have not been cleaned.
It was as if because of the sound of the explosion, the people who left seemed very anxious.
"Didn't those eunuchs from the palace come to clean it?"
Ye Gu, who was hiding in one place, looked at the messy scene and wondered.
But he didn't dare to appear in the light now, this black armor, coupled with the red imperial officer's uniform behind him, he never left his body, his figure could be well hidden in it, and it would not be noticed.
However, the first floor of the main hall was already so panicked and chaotic, presumably the little emperor or his subordinates were aware of it. Or just a little precaution for safety.
In this case, do you want to continue the assassination operation?
This thought only flashed in Ye Gu's mind for a moment, and then he was vetoed by himself.
As he said, he will become a watchman of balance in solitude, whether it is light or darkness, as long as one side sits big, it will affect the balance of the continent.
Dragons bring disaster, and so does darkness.
Only by destroying the source of the surge of power of the opening side, and the continent that is not even completely tranquil, can it be possible to avoid disaster completely.
Thinking of this, Ye Gu put his hand deep into the experimental fire gun that had been prepared on his waist, and gently injected a flame demon source power inside.
As soon as the fire bolt came into contact with the flame magic source power, it emitted a faint red light, and its heat gradually increased with the time the magic source power was injected.
In less than five minutes, the power of the fire bolt will be enough to wipe out a human individual.
"Whew. ”
In the darkness, Ye Gu exhaled, calming down his heartbeat, which tended to be fast. Then he tightened his grip on the firearm and easily climbed the stairs and ran towards somewhere in the room on the second floor.
On the left side of the second floor of the Emperor's Bedroom is the Emperor's large room, and on the right is reserved for people who need to live in the palace temporarily, ready to discuss state affairs with the Emperor or are important to the Emperor.
Ye Gu knew this very well in his heart, he didn't come here much, not too little.
Similar to the first floor, there was no trace of anyone on the second floor, and the silence seemed a little strange, and you could even hear the sound of the new guard soldiers and guards shouting and searching outside.
"I guess they're all gone. Then I was able to settle the battle quickly and leave it to them. Ye Gu secretly made up his mind and walked towards an inconspicuous room.
There was no one in the small room, not even the oil lamp.
"That's enough, it seems to be the safest way to get from here through the window to the emperor's room. If I had gone straight through the gate, I would have had something wrong with my head. Ye Gu laughed at himself, easily opened the window, lightly stepped on a place under the window where he could stand, quickly flipped out, and crawled towards a larger window on the right.
Because he was an imperial officer with excellent physical fitness, and he was not very old at the age of seventeen or eighteen, Ye Gu's body was still light and steady.
Compared to other soldiers, he only needed a few seconds to surpass the distance that ordinary people needed to cross in more than ten seconds or even twenty seconds.
Easily, his figure was only against the glass of the emperor's sleeping room.
Still, there was darkness and silence.
But there seemed to be a person sitting inside, and that person was still somewhat similar to the little emperor.
"There are no guards? Does he want to confront me head-on? Also, he seems to have some of the power of the dragon clan now, and the previous attack of Yanhai also ended in failure, he is not afraid of anyone. Ye Gu thought, leaning to the side, briefly observing the shape of the interior of the room.
It seems that the people inside did not notice his presence.
"Opportunity. Ye Gu said in a low voice.
This sentence has always been the same as what Ye Mingyuan said when he was dueling with Ye Mingyuan.
That kind of mentality, that kind of tone, even if it has only been more than half a month, there is not much difference.
Presumably Ye Mingyuan at that time also had this kind of thought about his memory, so he would fight.
Ye Gu thought about it, and easily pulled the bottom of the window with his hand, and to his surprise, the window was not locked from the inside, but gave him a chance to enter.
Squeak –
A very faint, barely discernible sound came over the Yegu as he softly jumped out of the window.
Although the room seemed very large, relying on the simple character of the little emperor, there was nothing in it except the bed and desk.
The figure was sitting on the bed with his back to Ye Gu at the moment, motionless.
Slowly approaching, Ye Gu took out the fire gun and continued to violently inject the demonic source power inward. At this time, he no longer needs to hide a single bit, most of the people in front of him are the little emperor, as long as the power of the fire gun can penetrate his brain before the power of the dragon clan is activated, he will change the history of the fire empire for five hundred years at this moment.
This would be the first emperor to die in an assassination within the imperial family.
Before him, the royal family had always been as united and friendly as steel.
He will be the first to break this tradition!
The figure on the bed didn't seem to be looking at him in the dim light, and the man's posture was normal, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
After walking more than a dozen steps with difficulty, Ye Gu was finally less than three meters away from the person in front of him.
He knows that at this time, it depends on speed and mentality, and nothing else.
Thinking of this, Ye Gu hurriedly took out the fire gun, quickly pulled the mechanism, and aimed it at the head of the figure to start.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, the figure quickly turned around, and happened to be in line with Ye Gu's firecracker.
The voice was not that of the little emperor, nor did it belong to a boy, but to a girl's voice.
"Ahh
But for some reason, she didn't move, just struggled in place.
"You, are you Yang Cai?'s sister?" Ye Gu said in surprise, but he didn't put away the fire gun, but still held it in his hand.
"Are you Zhang Yan who was with Lin Feng and Si Lei two days ago? No, you are not Zhang Yan, Your Majesty showed me your portrait, you are Ye Gu. I heard that you are missing? You will come to the room where His Majesty sleeps, do you also rebel like Yan Hai?" Yang Cai said, but relaxed, without the slightest sense of panic and nervousness before.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you what I'm for. Yes, I just want to rebel, but the target is only His Majesty. Since I have come this far alone, I don't care about life and death, I just want to get rid of the little emperor. So you'd better not make too much noise, or I'll kill you. Ye Gu threatened, shaking the fire gun in his hand that still emitted red light.
"It is difficult for His Majesty to regard you as a loyal representative, and he has always been haunted by your disappearance. Even in the morning, he reprimanded Ziwu, the leader of the Deep Blue. Unexpectedly, he finally misjudged you. Yang Cai said disdainfully, and didn't even make a louder sound.
This kind of emotion is like a heartfelt disappointment in a person.
"It's not up to him to die whether he wants to die or not, it's just that this form doesn't mean me not to take this step. You know that Long Qing has something to do with dragons, since the little emperor said so much to you, then you should also know that Long Qing will summon the dragon clan to the world again, and you should know that the dragon clan represents a disaster. When light appears, darkness also appears, and if light cannot be manipulated, then darkness will swallow everything. Ye Gu said, looking around a few times, looking for the little emperor's trace, and also observing whether anyone was approaching.
"Longqing is great, the empire will be great, and you and I will and must witness this great moment. Did you know that when there is only the Empire of Fire, there will be no war, no disease, no harm, and people will only be happy. It is only after a short period of suffering that human beings are able and deserving of all this. The calamities and darkness you speak of are only smiling and fragile components of these calamities, and they will be reduced to nothingness in the face of the power of the dragons, and even, they can only be a flash in the pan for the future prosperity of the Flame Empire. ”
Yang Cai's words are no different from the little emperor's thinking and understanding. But after all, he was a girl who was not more than a year or two younger than Ye Gu, and he was able to say words that did not match his identity and age, and even these words could only be said by a man.
"You're crazy too, you're as crazy as the emperor. Ye Gu said, after making sure that there was still no one on the second floor, he was about to escape through the window.
He could hear that the sound of searching outside was a little faint, and at the same time, the sound of running on the ground seemed to be somewhat close.
"I'm not crazy, and part of my strength and blood will be a sacrifice and contribution to the future of the world. Being able to sacrifice for this greatness will be the best destination and the greatest happiness for every person in the Fire Empire. Yang Cai paused, and then said, "Your Majesty is on the rooftop of the building, you know, this palace has a different style from all the other palaces. By the way, I would like to remind you that you need His Majesty's education to realize the true meaning of the world and the universe. Hahaha. ”
"Thank you, he won't impress me, he will only be moved by me, so he will go to see Yanjun. Ye Gu said with a vicious expression, and directly chose to push the door open, clutched the test fire gun in his hand, and ran towards the stairs leading to the top of the building.
Although there was no one there, after Ye Gu went out, Yang Cai's laughter mixed with happiness and weirdness really made Ye Gu feel fear and anger.
Human beings, how easily they can be influenced, is it just an ethereal fantasy?
