Chapter 558: Unilateral Rupture
Shen Yixue thought for a while, paused again, looked at Murong Zhi, and said word for word: "The Ascension Passage will be opened up by me." β
Those who open the passage from the human realm to the heavenly realm naturally have the power to make rules that stipulate what kind of cultivators cannot ascend.
Murong Zhi understood the deep meaning of her words, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly put away all the doubts and suspicions in his heart. When he looked at Shen Yixue again, he had already turned around and followed the soldiers like a tide into the city.
Xu is Shen Yixue's last words really played a deterrent role for Murong Zhi, although when Chu Yangcheng said "I'd rather die than surrender", Murong Zhi issued an order in a fit of anger to "all Dongling soldiers, kill without forgiveness", but after entering the city, he didn't really kill all the Dongling soldiers.
Those who descended were not killed, and the seriously injured were even treated.
For ordinary people, it is even more important not to disturb, rob, or kill as much as possible.
Such a scene finally relieved Shen Yixue a little, so she began to concentrate on finding Chu Yangcheng's whereabouts.
Because of Murong Zhi, Shen Yixue had to enter the city later than Chu Yangcheng's tea, so Chu Yangcheng's figure was no longer visible at this moment, and in a hurry, Shen Yixue directly used her divine thoughts.
In an instant, the scene of the entire Dongling Capital City was completely reflected in Shen Yixue's mind!
The colorful light on the Chaos Heavenly Demon Bead in the center of his eyebrows flashed faintly, and Shen Yixue actually found Chu Yangcheng's figure in the main hall of the Inner City Palace again.
I really don't know how Chu Yangcheng ran from the gate of the outer city to the main hall of the palace in this short tea time.
What made Shen Yixue even more puzzled was that he killed the soldiers guarding the city, opened the gate of the Eastern Spirit Capital, and let the people of the Murong clan of the Western Desert enter the city without much effort, and even had the courage to meet the empress Lingxin?
Isn't he afraid that Empress Lingxin will cut him with a thousand knives?
Unable to increase the doubts in her heart, Shen Yixue hesitated for a moment, but decided to fly directly towards the Dongling Palace.
As for whether Murong Zhi would misunderstand, thinking that she was the helpless Empress Lingxin, she couldn't take care of it so much for a while.
The colorful streamer pierced the sky, causing the Dongling soldiers guarding the imperial city below to scream again, almost running wildly in many ways.
They will not forget, just now, just now, their Empress's most trusted entourage broke in blood, shouting all the way, the Holy Mother of Amaterasu, who can control the colorful clouds, flew up the walls of the outer city, killed the soldiers defending the city, and opened the gate of the capital!
Now, this female demon has flown over the palace in the inner city again, is this to kill the guards again, open the gate of the palace, and let the soldiers of the rebel Murong clan drive straight in?
Shen Yixue, who was in the middle of the air, didn't know that these people were shouting and screaming, as if they were facing the enemy, they were still controlling their qi all the way, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the main hall.
This is the place where Empress Lingxin meets the ministers every day and deals with government affairs, but now it is cold, except for Chu Yangcheng opposite, there is only one Shan Tianying standing at the lower end of her left hand, her expression is obscure, so that the Empress Lingxin, who is sitting on the dragon chair, looks extremely lonely and cold.
On the other side, Chu Yangcheng, who was covered in blood, half-knelt on the ground, and persuaded the empress Lingxin with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, it is better to make plans as soon as possible!"
The empress Lingxin on the dragon chair was a little pale, but she was still calm: "Make plans early, are you asking me to abandon the city and escape early?"
Chu Yangcheng on the ground said again: "The ministers who surrender can still get an official and a half-position, and even add an official to a knight." The king who can be surrendered, but it is impossible to be crowned the king of a country again! What's more, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as Your Majesty is here, there is still hope for the restoration of the country......"
Ling Xin's expression was a little gloomy, and she shook her head gently, but her eyes were very firm: "No, I won't leave." β
When she said this, her gaze fell fixedly on the face of Shan Tianying, who had been silent: "Brother Shan......"
She didn't call the general or Aiqing again, but used a title she knew at the beginning, but after saying these three words, there was no more follow-up.
Shan Tianying, who had been silent, instantly understood the meaning of her tone, sighed lightly, and arched his hand in the direction of Empress Lingxin, with a complicated gaze: "Minister, swear to follow Her Majesty the Empress to the death!"
Empress Lingxin's lips were bitten out of her blood, and her face became more and more pale, but her gaze became deeper and more complicated.
At this time, before the guards outside came in, the voice came in first: "Your Majesty, Our Lady of Amateria flew to the inner city that day!"
Empress Lingxin's body was shocked, and the body that was originally about to stand up sat back again, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, then I will wait here, wait to see how my good sister and good friend attract the rebels, and how to deal with me, the king of the dead country!"
Before the last word "Jun" fell, Shen Yixue, who was dressed in colorful streamers, had already come in a hurry, and fell into the hall in a blink of an eye!
Shen Yixue had already sensed everything between the three of them through her divine thoughts, but at this moment, she looked at Shang Lingxin indifferently with a mocking gaze, but she still inevitably felt a little empty-hearted, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.
On the contrary, the empress Lingxin smiled, just like a blooming peony: "Xue'er, you are finally here." β
"Lingxin, things are not what you think. Shen Yixue hurriedly said, "No, it's not what Chu Yangcheng said!"
"At this moment, I still call you Xue'er because I think I have a clear conscience about you. Empress Lingxin had a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, "But you, what qualifications do you have to call me Lingxin again?"
Her clothes and clothes are exactly the same as the phantom shadow that Shen Yixue saw outside the city gate before, which can also be determined from this, and what Chu Yangcheng said later was true.
It's just that at this moment in the main hall, there is no light from the lazy pale sunlight of early winter, but there is a three-point blood color.
The crown that hung down to her eyes covered her gaze and her emotions at the moment. made Shen Yixue almost think that what stood in front of her was a lifelike sculpture.
"Lingxin, it's obvious that this Chu Yangcheng killed the soldiers defending the city and opened the door to meet the enemy......"
As soon as Shen Yixue spoke, she was interrupted by Empress Lingxin with a sneer: "Xue'er, should I say that you are naΓ―ve, or should I call you stupid? Even if I really have a person named Chu Yangcheng in Dongling, I am definitely not above my court, among the ministers!"
"Second, you say, it was this man who killed the soldiers who defended the city and opened the gates. Then why does he still have the courage to come to me, isn't he afraid that I will kill him?"
"Whether it's the outer city or the inner city palace, there are guards who have seen you kill people and open the city gates!
"Xiao Ningzi is just an entourage, he doesn't know martial arts, and he can't fly around like some immortals, just ask, how did he fly to the city, kill so many soldiers who defend the city, and then open the city gate?"
Empress Lingxin stood up, and with every word, she took a step towards Shen Yixue, and after these few words were finished, she had already walked five or six steps away from Shen Yixue, and her dark pupils looked at Shen Yixue.
Shen Yixue didn't know whether Empress Lingxin trusted Chu Yangcheng too much about this Chu Yangcheng called "Xiao Ningzi", or Chu Yangcheng used some means again to change the memories of these people. But she knew in her heart that she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to explain clearly.
She simply turned her heart sideways, no longer explained, pointed to "Xiao Ningzi" who was still lying on the ground, and said to Lingxin: "Can I interrogate this person?"
"No!" Empress Lingxin raised her voice, "He is my Dongling's person, and he is my entourage, in what capacity and in what qualifications do you interrogate?"
Outside the city gate before, Chu Yangcheng said that he wanted her to turn against the empress Lingxin, but now it seems that he has already done it.
Shen Yixue smiled bitterly in her heart, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.
She sighed lightly, and seemed to see Shan Tianying, who had been silent all the time, until this moment, and then glanced at the "Xiao Ningzi" on the ground, and said, "You don't believe my words either?"
"Lingling!"
Empress Lingxin turned around too violently, and the crown on her head slammed into each other, making a series of crisp sounds!
In her gaze at Shen Yixue, a trace of sadness and disappointment finally appeared: "Shen Yixue!"
She took two steps forward again and forced her to look at her: "What you snatched from my hands, is it still less?!"
Shen Yixue was stunned for a moment, only then did she understand the meaning of her words, and hurriedly said: "No, I didn't mean that." β
Empress Lingxin's voice was even colder: "Even so, I don't believe you, why do you think he will believe you?!"
For the first time, Shen Yixue had a feeling of being speechless, and finally understood that Lingxin had already decided to break with her unilaterally.
She looked at Empress Lingxin a little helplessly, only to feel that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther away: "I...... I just want to ask Shan, General Shan, can you remember the investigation of Chu Yangcheng that day?"
Unexpectedly, Shan Tianying was also at a loss, and his eyes became more and more strange when he looked at Shen Yixue: "Who is Chu Yangcheng?"
Shen Yixue's heart was shocked: "Even you don't remember this person?"
Looking at Empress Lingxin's almost murderous gaze, Shen Yixue didn't want to bring up the old matter again, so she simply explained: "That's it...... One of the national teachers supported by Her Majesty the Empress, she was ordered to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Xin again: "I said before that I have never had a national teacher named Chu Yangcheng in Dongling, let alone sent this person to Baoying City to meet you!"
Shen Yixue's heart moved, and she hurriedly said, "Before, when was it?"
"Shen Yixue!" Empress Lingxin was so angry that her face changed, and she said angrily, "Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"
Shen Yixue said: "Before, didn't you just send that little Ningzi to the city gate for diplomatic affairs?"
"Shen Yixue, I know what you want to ask," Empress Lingxin continued to sneer: "I, Dongling, although I am not as good as the rebels with the help of evil immortals, but there are still a few capable people!"
"Originally," she said, "I really wanted to go out of the city and question you personally, but they tried their best to dissuade me, and finally arranged a formation for me, so that even if I was in the main hall, I could ask you personally!"
Empress Lingxin's gaze became colder and colder, and suddenly her words changed: "Shen Yixue, now that I am in front of you, and you are also in front of me, can you tell me, which one is really you?"
