Hearing this news, Gu Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

As early as the early days of the outbreak of the beast tide, the mansion lord and Qianhu, the two top powerhouses in Yunzhou, went together to crusade against the big demon.

Now that he has returned, does it indicate that the beast tide is coming to an end?

Cheng Hai was urging, and Gu Bai didn't waste time.

He went back to the house and changed into a white robe and silver armor with a general flag, and came directly to the main hall.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Gu Bai felt a solemn atmosphere rushing towards him, a little depressed.

When he looked up, the seats in the hall were already full.

In addition to the front-line personnel, a total of 29 general banners and 4 hundred households of the Demon Suppression Division have all gathered here.

The city defense, forging workshop, and logistics department were also attended by high-level officials.

An old man with crane hair and white eyebrows was in the first place, and it was the mansion master Duan Yunqi.

On the other main seat beside him, a middle-aged man in a Yunjin robe supported his cheeks with one hand, his face sinking like water, this person is the Demon Suppression Guard Qianhu, Tan Xuanji.

This is the highest level of talks in the state capital.

Something big is wrong.

Gu Bai chuckled in his heart, and this thought suddenly popped up.

As Gu Bai stepped into the main hall, everyone in the hall looked sideways slightly, they were no strangers to this rising star in the state capital in recent days.

On the contrary, Duan Yunqi and Tan Xuanji had a little surprise, but they didn't show it, just bowed their heads.

"Everyone's here?"

The mansion lord Duan Yunqi spoke softly.

Chief Steward Qian of the Logistics Department took two steps forward, his eyes swept around the entire hall, and he turned around and said, "Lord of the Mansion, except for the Demon Suppression Guardian Tian Baihu and his subordinates, everyone has arrived. ”

Qianhu Tan Xuanji said lightly: "Tian Baihu has been transferred to the front line to suppress demons, so there is no need to wait." ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Recently, there have been rumors that Tian Baihu had an affair with the clan in private, and now it seems that this matter is confirmed.

Duan Yunqi nodded, raised his palm, and an aura barrier was born, enveloping the entire hall and isolating it from the outside world.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Duan Yunqi slowly spoke: "A day ago, the only great cultivator of the Star Palace Realm in my Great Yan Dynasty, the high priest Lu Shantu, was attacked and killed in a secret place in the imperial capital. ”

Duan Yunqi's words were like a thunderclap, instantly shocking everyone's hearts.

There was an uproar in the hall.

"This ...... How is this possible?"

"Who has the strength to attack and kill the high priest?"

Many people couldn't control their emotions and exclaimed.

The High Priest is the anchor of the entire dynasty, and without the deterrence of this great cultivator, wouldn't those who had already been eyeing the shadows take advantage of the opportunity to rise together?

Long Kaijiang's face was extremely gloomy: "Mansion Master, who did this?"

"Xuanyuan Clan, Taiyuan Sect. ”

Duan Yunqi's slightly old voice gave the answer that everyone expected.

These two names, like towering mountains without a peak, poured down, making everyone present a little breathless.

Long Kaijiang's voice was a little hoarse, "That...... The Jiang family's royal family ......"

"The monarch was deposed, the crown prince disappeared, and the Jiang royal family was almost slaughtered. Qianhu Tan Xuanji leaned back in the chair, his whole face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his face, only his voice was heard, "The entire Great Yan Imperial Capital has now fallen apart, and within a month, the clans of the various states will definitely launch turmoil." ”

"This ......"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, obviously unable to digest this sudden bad news.

The corners of Gu Bai's eyebrows twitched.

Although I expected this day, I never thought it would come so soon.

"The two adults, the Xuanyuan Clan and the Taiyuan Sect, are both extraterritorial giants, if they want to invade my Great Yan, it is just an easy matter, why did they wait until now to make a move, and they still need to borrow the hands of the dynasty's native clans?"

At this time, another young general flag asked, which was also something that confused many people.

Duan Yunqi sighed deeply, and his voice was full of sadness: "Invasion of Great Yan? These two major forces have never taken Great Yan in their eyes, all of this is just the younger generation among them, who regard our Great Yan Dynasty as a place to raise Gu and manipulate it behind the scenes. ”

The young chief banner was slightly stunned: "Mansion Master, the place where Gu is raised...... What does that mean?"

Duan Yunqi turned his head and glanced at Tan Xuanji, and after the latter nodded, he said slowly: "Now that the matter is over, there is no need to hide all the pickled things they have done, Zheng Baihu." ”

The voice fell, and Zheng Baihu, who was in charge of the city's defense, stepped out, spread out the file in his hand, and his tone was a little heavy:

"In the past 10 years, 39,120 cases of missing children have been registered in Yunzhou, with an average of more than 3,000 missing every year, all of whom are eight-year-old boys. ”

"Months after the disappearance, these children are found in the wild, their abandoned bodies crumbled and unrecognizable. ”

There was a dead silence in the audience.

This matter is not a secret, there have long been rumors among the people, saying that it is the work of demons and evil spirits, most of the families of those missing children, have also reported to the city guards, but after years of investigation, not only did there be no result, but the situation became more and more serious.

In this way, I am afraid that this matter is not a demonic disaster......

Many people feel chills in their hearts.

Zheng Baihu hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's Yang Immortal Gu, this is a cruel secret technique that is forbidden by the cultivation world. ”

"Those children were secretly taken away, planted this secret technique, and raised Gu with their bodies, more than ninety percent of the children will be unable to bear it and die in pain, and those who can survive will be taken by the living body Gu and used by those behind the scenes to improve their cultivation. ”

"Yang Immortal Gu, although it is strictly forbidden by the entire cultivation world, but it is a tacit means among some big forces, our more remote secular dynasty is their first choice for raising Gu, the reason why it has not been discovered by the outside world is just that it is well hidden. ”

Gu Bai's eyes were cold, he was not an innocent and hot-blooded person, but when he heard this inhuman beast behavior with his own ears, he still felt surprisingly angry.

Long Kaijiang smashed the table in front of him with one palm, and his eyes were about to split: "This kind of big thing, why is the city defense kept secret? Is it to make the entire Yunzhou extinction?"

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Zheng Baihu was silent and did not make a sound.

Tan Xuanji said calmly: "This is the king's instructions. ”

Hearing this mouth-chilling answer, a thick gray haze enveloped everyone's hearts, and between breaths, it was as if they could smell the foul smell of dirt from a higher level.

"Don't be surprised, from beginning to end, the Great Yan Dynasty is just a Gu pot for those people, for them, this is the value of a secular dynasty. ”

Tan Xuanji's words shattered everyone's perception of the past and unveiled those bloody preludes.

"We, including the royal family, are just pawns in the hands of those people, and even the clans are just tools that they cultivated at the beginning and used to check and balance us. ”

"It's just that the clan forces have been prepared for a long time, and they have worked hard to send the heirs of the clan with amazing talents into those two major forces, so that the entire family is closely tied to them and receives more attention. ”

"So, they're swelling faster and faster, and now they're far overshadowing the state capitals. ”

"The high priest was killed, the monarch was deposed, these are all the clans behind the promotion, the Great Yan Dynasty has existed in name only, the next thing they have to do is to ban the state capital, and the heroes are divided. ”

After hearing this, everyone was silent.

Gu Bai was silent, and his heart was also unhappy for a long time.

If he hadn't stood here today, he wouldn't have known that there was such a ferocious storm hidden behind the dynasty.

Looking around the entire hall, Gu Bai paid attention to everyone's expressions.

The storm is coming, and the attitude of these heads of state capitals determines the fate of the remnants of the dynasty.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tan Xuanji said: "If you have any doubts or opinions, you can raise them, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

A general banner looked a little difficult, and said tentatively: "Two lords, since the dynasty has fallen, the general trend has been lost, and the enemy is so strong, do we ...... Do you want to give up resistance and choose to surrender?"

Zhao Yan next to him sneered: "Surrender, you can imagine that if it falls into the hands of those clans, what good will happen to our people?"

Everyone began to talk about it.

Tan Xuanji nodded: "Zhao Yan is right, surrendering is indeed not a good way. ”

Long Kaijiang took a deep breath, he had already guessed a few points, but he still couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what the two adults have decided to do?"

Tan Xuanji did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "We have all decided to leave Yunzhou. ”

"What?"

"Two adults want to leave?"

As soon as this shocking news came out, it immediately set off an uproar among everyone.

These two supreme leaders of the state capital have made it clear that they want to leave, so wouldn't the entire Yunzhou have to give up?

"Lord Qianhu, why is this so?" Long Kaijiang tried his best to control his emotions, gritted his teeth and said, "We will flee without a fight, where will we put the tens of millions of Li people in Yunzhou?"

Tan Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly, "The people, now that the big demon is dead, the beast tide disaster will soon subside, we pay taxes on one side and bless the safety of the other, and we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous." “

"A thousand years ago, the previous dynasty collapsed, the country changed hands, and the people of Li still passed down the torch to this day?"

"It is always the dynasty that dies, not the people. ”

Hearing this, Long Kaijiang clenched his fists, but it was irrefutable.

Duan Yunqi sighed deeply, "The tree is falling and scattered, Tan Xuanji and I summoned everyone here, just to inform everyone of this, to leave resistance, or to leave, everyone decides for themselves." ”

"Finally, I would like to advise you, what you are talking about today must not be spread outside, otherwise the clan will be aware of it, and the liquidation will be launched in advance, and the people who have cultivated to the following in the True Yuan Realm are estimated to have many people who can't leave if they want to. ”

Duan Yunqi stood up, staring at everyone present with a pair of old eyes.

"From today on, the state capital has no owner, as for the money and resources of the treasury, it should be regarded as severance pay. ”

......

When he walked out of the main hall, he was greeted by a cold wind.

Everyone was at a loss, and they really felt the sense of despair that the edifice was about to collapse.

Gu Bai put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the gray sky.

I had just become a supervisor at a new company, and I had just talked about the next big project, and then the company suddenly went out of business.

"Lao Luo, what are your plans?"

Gu Bai turned his head to look at Luo Zhen beside him and asked.

Hearing this, Luo Zhen showed a bitter smile, he glanced at his broken arm, shook his head and said: "I'm old, and I have no children under my knees, so I will probably find a secluded countryside in the future and live in peace for a long time." ”

He patted Gu Bai on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Gu Bai, I am very optimistic about you, talented, courageous, and so young, leave Yunzhou and go to Zhongzhou to have a good time, there is the stage for you young people." ”

Gu Bai smiled undeniably, "What about Long Baihu, is he still in the palace?"

After Duan Yunqi and Tan Xuanji both announced that they would give up Yunzhou, Long Kaijiang was still the first person to stand up and say that he would stay in Yunzhou, and he was in the palace at the moment, asking if anyone was willing to stay with him to the end.

When it came to Long Kaijiang, Luo Zhen seemed to be a little helpless about it, and admired this person from the bottom of his heart, and sighed:

"You may not know, Long Baihu has been an orphan since he was a child, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, for so many years, his blood has been hot, he is not used to seeing injustice, not to say that he is absolutely loyal to the dynasty, but he must be loyal to the people. ”

"Everybody here might leave, but he wouldn't, even though he knew he might die if he stayed. ”

A pathetic and respectable old stubbornness.

Gu Bai let out a long breath, said goodbye to Luo Zhen, and left the main hall.

Want to go?

It's definitely going to go, but the true chapter of refining the gods hasn't arrived yet, some accounts haven't been confiscated, and the show hasn't really started yet.

Just left, a little too early.

Walking on the road of panic, Gu Bai turned his neck, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled.
