Bai Xiaolong, who found the New Party, was finally received by Huang Qijun, the leader of the New Party, after fighting for it many times. He sent Bai Xiaolong away with a word.

"If Emperor Guangxu is really taken away by the coalition forces, isn't it the most beneficial thing for our new party? Did Huo Zongtang get into the water in his brain and use this information to try to persuade us to join forces? ”

Bai Xiaolong, who was not good at words, was not persuaded by his words.

This may be beneficial to the New Party, but it may not be beneficial to the country and the world. What do you think about this issue? ”

Huang Qijun did not answer this question, but politely sent someone to send Bai Xiaolong out of the New Party camp.

Bai Xiaolong looked at the soldiers of the New Party who were still frantically storming Chengtianmen, and thought: Is he disdainful of answering, can't answer, or dare not answer my question?

Huang Qijun's words came from behind him: "Go back and tell Huo Zongtang that when I capture Chengtianmen and complete the tasks of the New Party, I will go to destroy his League of Heroes." ”

Bai Xiaolong was stunned, and the blood all over his body surged with anger.

Liu Qingqing, who rushed to the royalist camp, spent a lot of words, and even almost fought with the royalist guards, but he couldn't see Su Moyang.

The reason is simple: how do you prove that you are not a spy of other forces?

After the danger of Emperor Guangxu being besieged, Su Moyang sent people to protect Cixi and Guangxu in the three layers and the outer three layers. He could no longer afford any surprises.

"A bunch of old stubborns, they deserve to fail in your mission!" Liu Qingqing is not a good-tempered master, and after scolding, he left decisively.

Imperial City, Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), and it was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties "sacrificed to the sky" and "prayed for the valley". The north of the altar is round, and the south is square, which means "the sky is round and the place is round".

In the past, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties mainly worshipped the heavens in the mound altar of the Temple of Heaven.

The main buildings of the mound altar are the mound, the imperial dome and the supporting hall, the divine kitchen, the three warehouses and the slaughtering pavilion.

As the altar of worship to the sky, the mound shape is like the sky, the three-layer altar system, more than 10 meters high, the diameter of the lower circle is nearly 100 meters, and each layer has nine steps on four sides. The center of the upper layer is a round stone, which is the artemisia leaf bluestone countertop, the outer fan-shaped stone blocks are nine circles, the inner circle is nine, and the multiples of nine are extended outward in turn, and the surrounding white marble columns, railings, and pillars are also used in multiples of nine or nine, symbolizing the number of "days".

The imperial dome of the north is supported by 16 pillars in the ring, eight eaves pillars in the outer layer, eight golden pillars in the middle, the common gold bucket arch is set on the two layers of pillars, in order to support the ceiling and the caisson on the arch, the hall is full of dragons and phoenixes and the seal color painting, the ceiling pattern is the two dragons playing with pearls in gold, the caisson is the golden dragon caisson well, the gold is brilliant.

During the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition in history, the imperialist invaders used the Temple of Heaven as their headquarters and bombarded the imperial city with artillery on the mound.

This exam script of salvation also virtualizes this historical fact. Inside and outside the Temple of Heaven, there are heavy guards of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so tight that even a fly can't fly in.

The most important thing is that, as a headquarters, there are the most coalition masters stationed here. And while they were lurking, they clearly saw two convoys driving into the Temple of Heaven. One with the flag of the German Empire and the other with the flag of the British Empire.

Two Western men dressed in the uniforms of the army commander entered the headquarters surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Everyone looked at each other. If I didn't guess wrong, this should be the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Wadsey, and the deputy commander-in-chief, Seymour. Coupled with a Yamato Army General Fukushima Yasumasa, the three giants are all in it, and if you break through, nine lives are not enough to die.

Just when they were at a loss, it was the old eunuch they brought that made a difference.

According to the old eunuch, somewhere on the outer wall of the Temple of Heaven, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the bottom of the Temple of Heaven. This secret passage was originally a secret passage to facilitate the emperor's evacuation in the event of an emergency, but it came in handy at this time.

So after Liu Qingqing and the three of them came back, the seven of them decided to go into the secret passage first to find out.

So the old eunuch led the way, and the seven of them quietly entered the secret passage, groping all the way into the Temple of Heaven area. This secret passage is tortuous and opaque, like a labyrinth, and if no one leads the way, I am afraid that within two minutes I will get lost in it.

In order to reduce the risk of exposure, they did not dare to light a fire, so they could only move forward in the dark. But with the Soul Superpower, they all began to use the Soul Energy to strengthen their eyesight, and things in the dark could also be seen clearly. Just after pouring the soul power into their eyes, everyone's eyes were as green as night cats, and in the dark, they looked like a pack of wild wolves moving forward.

Along the way, Huo Zongtang and the others deliberately left marks on the wall, and in case something was wrong, they could still find a way to evacuate.

The secret passage is made of bricks and stones, and although the air is a little muddy, fortunately it is still dry and the road surface is smooth and easy to walk, so the speed of the group is very fast.

After walking for about twenty minutes, there was a sudden gloomy wind ahead. Immediately after, an empty circular dungeon appeared in front of him. The old eunuch told them that this was the bottom of the mound altar, and behind the round stone slab above his head was the emperor's altar of heaven.

The seven of them hibernated underground for a while, only to hear the constant sound of footsteps coming from the mound altar above their heads, and there seemed to be many people walking around on it, not knowing what they were doing.

Huo Zongtang put his hand in the stone crack of the wall, slowly climbed to the top of the underground palace like a gecko, and listened for a while on the fan-faced stone slab of the mound altar with his ears close to his ears.

The stone slab is too thick, even the soul power can't penetrate it, and even the clairlight eye can't be used at all, so you can only use the most primitive method to eavesdrop on the sounds of the outside world through the cracks in the stone. Fortunately, he also has a hearing superpower, and a thin slit is enough for him to hear clearly.

He listened for more than an hour before slowly returning to the surface.

"It's bad." He used soul power to communicate with everyone, and his tone was very heavy. Everyone held their breath and waited for his next step.

"Wadsey, Fukushima Yasumasa, Seymour and other three giants are really here."

"Emperor Guangxu was really taken hostage here by them."

"Now, they are arranging for people to prepare for the ceremony. They arrested a lot of eunuchs and palace maids from the Qing court's internal affairs office, and used guns to threaten them to arrange the Temple of Heaven. ”

"So, what are they going to do?" After all, Zhu Bajiao couldn't hold his breath and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about first.

Huo Zongtang was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "They want to kill the emperor and sacrifice to the sky." ”

"What!?"

Everyone seemed to have been hit in the head by a thunderbolt, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"Kill the emperor and sacrifice to the sky!? What do you mean is that they are going to kill Emperor Guangxu in the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens and use him as a sacrifice to the heavens!? ”

"Why, why are they doing this!"

“Whatafu……”

Although it was just an exam, they instinctively felt angry, shocked and confused when they heard such shocking news.

Huo Zongtang slowly explained: "The Temple of Heaven is an imperial altar with magical power. It is said that the Temple of Heaven can use the power of Haotian to magnify the power of spirit and soul by tens of millions of times, reaching all parts of the world. If there is a major event in the dynasties, you can use the ceremony to worship the heavens, and within one day, this information can be spread all over the mountains and rivers of Kyushu like thunder in the sky. ”

"Today, if these foreign devils can kill the emperor and sacrifice to the sky, the emperor's blood will go straight to the sky, and the news that the emperor is dead in the hands of the enemy can spread all over the world within a day. The will and spirit of the people of the world will inevitably suffer a major blow! Once this conspiracy succeeds, the whole of China will form a trend of collapse and defeat! ”

Therefore, they want to use our altar and the way of our ancestors to destroy the will and spirit of the whole of China! Not only will they conquer our land with their iron hooves, but they will also completely trample on and destroy all the descendants of Yan and Huang from the perspective of spirit and soul, so that we will be slaves from generation to generation, and we will never be able to turn over! ”

Having said this, all the seven people present were furious, their blood was surging, and the hatred and anger in their hearts almost broke through their chests.

"What a vicious foreign devil!"

"This is simply the most vicious trick to destroy the country!"

"It's ridiculous that the three major forces still think that the mission will be successful, and they all fight separately!"

"Even if their respective missions succeed and achieve their egos, the whole country is in a fiasco and humiliation, what's the use!"

"Although Emperor Guangxu is not necessarily the Ming monarch, he is still the nominal master of the country at this time. Once it is slaughtered like a pig and a dog, or even used as a sacrifice to the heavens, what a huge blow to the will and spirit of the entire country! ”

"This is the most difficult question in the whole exam, it's hell mode! In particular, who made the exam script, it's so perverted, I didn't even think about letting us win! ”

"It's useless to say that now. The top priority is to stop these vicious foreign devils immediately! ”

"But relying on the seven of us, in the face of the three giants outside, there is no chance of winning at all!"

"Even if the seven of us win, the rest of the candidates are still so numb and ignorant, what's the use!"

"The situation is so urgent, what should I do!?"

"What should I do?"

In the end, there was only one question left in everyone's hearts, and there was a dead silence in the dungeon.

Everyone sat on the ground and thought about it for a long time, but they were still at a loss. In the end, Ye Qingwu suddenly said: "Fukushima Yasumasa once deceived all of us by stealing the sky and changing the day. Now can we also use this strategy to save Guangxu back? ”

Huo Zongtang shook his head and said: "Emperor Guangxu was personally guarded by Fukushima Yasumasa, and this strategy is estimated to not work. ”

Everyone was silent again. At this time, Zhu Bajiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "I think that the key to breaking the situation should still fall on this Temple of Heaven." The Temple of Heaven is a sacred altar, and the power of Haotian can be borrowed. Although the one on the head is just a copy, since it can be used in the exam script, it must have similar divine powers. Can you do something about this? ”

Everyone's hearts moved, and someone asked, "So, how to make an article, what to do?" ”

This question stopped Zhu Bajiao again.

Huo Zongtang suddenly opened his mouth slowly: "I'll do this article." Let's take out the treasures you just got, Longwei inkstone, Kangxi paper, Qianlong ink, and my Xiaolan pen...... I have an idea to give it a try. ”

Everyone was a little surprised, but they saw that Huo Zongtang in the dark had some different light in his eyes, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope burning inside.
