428. The darkness before dawn

The more the night is about to turn to light, the more thick the incomparable night is like splashing ink, even if the four torches on the central square have been burning, reflecting the dazzling five-color light door, it still makes people feel that the surroundings are pitch black, and they can't see their fingers.

In the reflection of the bronze mirror, except for the five-color light gate, almost nothing can be seen clearly, Yuan Fengqing was a little worried about the blood painting, put down the wine glass in his hand and was about to get up, when he felt that the ground suddenly shook, as if he was suddenly smashed down by some heavy object, and then, there was a fierce fighting sound in the distance, she realized that the war had begun, and immediately paced to the courtyard.

The footsteps behind her followed, she knew that it was Yue Xiao who came out, and she didn't look back, and when she walked to the courtyard and looked up, the protective array over the imperial city was unraveled for some reason, and the footsteps and horses' hooves from all directions pierced the silence of the night sky, all gathered towards the middle of the imperial city, obviously Chao Guang's soldiers and horses had entered the city, and the shock of the square was the prelude to the war.

Thinking that this piece of heaven and earth was about to be bloody and bloody, although Yuan Fengqing was not as compassionate as before, he was also full of emotion, and asked Yue Xiao after a while, "Which of the two brothers do you think will win?" ā€

Behind him, there was a woman's voice, this voice was not delicate and pretentious, nor was it rigid and rude, it sounded quite imposing, obviously a voice that only people who have been in power for a long time can have, "Whoever wins and who loses, it's just a thought in this palace." ā€

Yuan Fengqing was stunned for a moment, quickly turned around, and saw a woman wearing a luxurious palace dress appeared behind her, the big red palace robe on her body lined her face with a clear and bright complexion, and the golden phoenix crown on her head also looked extraordinarily luxurious.

His gaze swept over her and fell on Yue Xiao, who was also extremely surprised on the left, and after making sure that he didn't know where this woman came from, Yuan Fengqing settled down and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the queen of Dachao?" ā€

The woman's gaze, which was originally looking at the distant night sky, came back to her for a moment, and then asked with a little doubt, "You...... Know Hongu? ā€

Yuan Fengqing chuckled, "No, it's just a guess." ā€

The woman walked slowly past her, although the figure was tall and luxurious, but it was full of indescribable loneliness and coldness, and when she was about to walk to the door, she glanced back at Yuan Fengqing, and asked in a somewhat strange tone, "You guys, are you also here to see the Chao brothers fratricidal?" After speaking, he sneered twice, and said, "What kind of husband and wife love, what childhood sweethearts, in the face of eternal interests, nothing is anything!" But they all forgot one thing, I am not just the palace of Dachao, I am also the eldest daughter of the Xianmen Tong clan! ā€

Yuan Fengqing was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that she was really the queen of Dachao, Chao Guang's wife Tong Zitan, but why did she disappear before, and where did she suddenly come out now? And her look and tone are not normal, what happened to her to become like this?

When she was still thinking about it, she saw Tong Zitan slowly turn around, raise her leg and step over the high threshold in front of the palace gate, as if she inadvertently raised her right arm, and something flew out of her hand, and slammed straight into the air, sprinkling a faint green light, as if it was just a lit firework.

But everyone in the Xianmen knew that it was not fireworks, but something used by various sects to transmit information, no matter where she was, as long as it was someone from her sect, she could sense it, unless it was beyond the range of thousands of miles.

Is she delivering a message to the Xianmen Tong clan?

After Yuan Fengqing realized this problem, she immediately turned her head to look at Yue Xiao, who raised her eyebrows and said, "She is no longer human, don't you feel that she has lost two of her three souls, and now she seems to be a wandering ghost?" ā€

"Isn't it human?" Yuan Fengqing was a little strange, when he looked back, where was the lonely red figure in front of the palace gate, he couldn't help but think of the empty Weiyang Palace, frowned and said, "Could it be that Tong Zitan has ...... He's dead? ā€

"It's not much different from death, it should be some kind of treasure to protect this soul, but it can't last long, the breath on her body is very weak, it is estimated that it can only last for two or three days at most."

Yue Xiao's speculation made Yuan Fengqing's mood very heavy, thinking of what Tong Zitan had said, could it be that Chao Guang came out of the Liuyun Array that day and quietly sneaked into Weiyang Palace, knowing everything from the bronze mirror, and also understood that Tong Zitan was not unable to recognize Chao Li's identity, but he did not rescue him, and even planned to give birth to a daughter with Chao Li, and killed Weiyang Palace in a fit of anger?

With Chao Guang's current ability, even if it is just a divine soul and no substance, the original cultivation is greatly reduced, but dealing with the palace people in Weiyang Palace is naturally as easy as pinching an ant to death, but Tong Zitan is also the daughter of the Xianmen family, how can she be easily killed?

Besides, from the previous conversation, Yuan Fengqing could feel that Chao Guang still loved Tong Zitan deeply, even if he was furious, how could he bear to kill her with his own hands?

Many mysteries haven't been thought out clearly, so I heard Yue Xiao sigh, "It's really lively now, Chao Guang originally wanted to close the door to solve this brotherly feud, but I didn't expect Tong Zitan not only not to die, but also released a signal arrow, and now it has alarmed the Tong family, after all, it has also alarmed the other six major families, and this storm is only getting more and more turbulent?" ā€

Yuan Fengqing raised his head in surprise, and saw that many figures appeared in all directions, all of them were people from the Xianmen who stepped on various Guanghua magic weapons, although the distance was too far to tell which family it was, but in terms of quantity, there were thousands of people in the blink of an eye, thinking that these people had already lurked in the imperial capital for not a day or two, and the Tong family was not an impregnable wall, and there was no news leaked. Now it seems that it is really because of the grievances of the Chao family, which has caused the contradictions accumulated by the seven families for many years, and this account is afraid that it is difficult to calculate.

Thinking that the blood painting was still by Chao Li's side, now that he didn't know what the situation was over there, Yuan Fengqing couldn't stay out of the matter, so he pulled his legs and left.

"Wait for me." Yue Xiao hurriedly followed, the two of them just stepped out of the palace gate, the war had begun, in front of the palace wall, the piercing sound of killing, the sound of stray arrows piercing the air, one after another screams and wails one after another, enduring, completely tearing the tranquility of the night sky, but at this time, the dawn had just arrived, like a long knife suddenly cutting through the boundless night sky, the eastern sky revealed a line of fish belly white light, the darkness that shrouded the earth quickly faded, and the surrounding vision was completely clear.

Yuan Fengqing paused, couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, looked up at the people in the Immortal Gate who were rapidly gathering in all directions, and turned his head to ask Yue Xiao for some reason, "Do you have a way to reopen the city protection array?" ā€

Yue Xiao was stunned for a moment, "You want to prevent outsiders from entering the Imperial City?" ā€

"It's the only way to reduce killing."

Yue Xiao stared at her for a moment and nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll find a way to open the entire imperial capital's protective array, you go to find the blood painting, you must be careful!" ā€
