Chapter 214: Prisoners in the Imperial City
"Tell the emperor, at noon today, the Western Demon General has already led the army to set off, and according to the itinerary, you will arrive at the White Tiger Gate in two days. As for the other three Demon Generals, they are also already preparing to set off with their armies, but they should be two days ahead of the Western Demon Generals before they can reach the Royal City. ”
In the brightly lit hall, a general dressed in armor knelt down at the foot of the long steps made of white jade, and behind the unreachable bead curtain above, the majestic figure sitting on the imperial throne reported respectfully.
"Lone knows, step down."
Such a response came from behind the bead curtain, and the general bowed down and exited the main hall when he heard this.
After exiting the temple gate, he dared to raise his head and glanced at the figure behind the bead curtain.
Although the emperor has been living in seclusion and rarely showing up since the world was first decided, his majesty is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so when he entered the palace to report things before, this general never dared to look up from beginning to end.
Now when I looked up, I could only see a hidden figure through the bead curtain.
The empty hall has been a lonely figure forever on the emperor's throne in the main hall, which seems extremely lonely and lonely.
Just glanced at it, as if he was afraid of offending the emperor, the general didn't dare to look at it and quickly withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At the same time, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in my mind, which I shouldn't have as a human being-
The Emperor, although he owns the world, looks really pitiful, like a prisoner, and the cage is this exquisite and luxurious imperial city.
As soon as a thought came to him, he shook his head suddenly, and removed this distracting thought from his mind, after all, disrespecting the emperor is a big crime.
However, in his heart, he was also a little apprehensive, these days the emperor suddenly went against the norm and began to sit on the throne behind the bead curtain to personally hold the government, which obviously made many people with a heart see that something was wrong, and there was a sense that the wind and rain were about to come.
And now even the four major demon generals who are guarding the Quartet have poured out of their nests and mobilized a large team to rush towards the royal city, which is enough to explain the seriousness of the matter.
All this is enough to show that this invasion from the outer demons is not as easy as rumored outside.
Compared with the panic of the people above the court, the people living in the royal city were not much touched, and the people's hearts were very stable, after all, in their eyes, as long as the emperor was still there, even if those demons outside the sky returned, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Alas, I hope that the Emperor can revive the immortal majesty of the past and lead the people of the world through this difficult time as he did back then."
Looking at the inverted galaxy in the night, the worried general whispered, like the ordinary people in the royal city who did not understand the situation, they pinned all their hopes on this emperor.
……
……
The night is as cool as water.
It was already the middle of the night, and although the entire imperial city was brightly lit, there was a sense of dead silence and a lack of vitality.
This emperor has been settled in the imperial city after pacifying the troubled times, unlike other emperors who have the world after a hundred years of pursuit of enjoyment, this emperor has reigned for so many years, in addition to some necessary miscellaneous servants in the palace, even the guards are very few, as for the maids who serve the diet and daily life, it is even more pitiful, and both hands can be counted.
And these maids are generally ministers who entertain foreign guests, and the emperor has always been quiet, so there is no one around him who serves.
On the star-picking platform in the imperial city, a man in a golden robe and a golden mask sat alone on the high platform, bathed in the bright starlight, and fell into a long silence in the boundless night overhead.
This person is naturally the emperor.
At that time, when the world was flat, and he ascended the throne of God in the support of all the people, the first decree he issued was to order people to build this towering tower, and people stood on it, as if they could reach out and pick up the stars, which is also the origin of the name of the star picking platform.
It is said that when the world was conquered, the emperor had an agreement with the emperor and queen that when the world was calm, he would build a high platform for her, so that she could watch the stars if she liked the stars.
Therefore, when building this star-picking platform, those people who felt the merits of the emperor and the emperor and queen came to help spontaneously regardless of remuneration, and did their part as much as they could.
However, there is one person in this world who knows that the reason why this star-picking platform was built is not what the outside world rumores.
The reason why this star-picking platform was built was just because it could make that person closer to his hometown.
At this time, the emperor sitting on the star-picking platform looked at the deep night in front of him, and his eyes seemed to contain something as deep and bottomless as the night in front of him.
"Recently, those demons in the outer heavens have moved again."
In the evening breeze, there was such a whisper.
The Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and his tone was very soft, although the night in front of him was empty, it was as if he was talking to another close person.
"This time, these extraterritorial demons seem to have a lot of plans, and they are not the same as those scattered invasions in the past, which makes me very uneasy."
Despite no response, the emperor muttered to himself.
"If you're still around, things should be much easier, after all, you've always had a lot of ideas, and you're sure to be able to handle everything perfectly. Now that I'm alone, I really don't know what to do. ”
"But don't worry, this piece of land that was exchanged for your life, no matter what, I will definitely defend it for you, and I will never allow them to destroy it again!"
When he said this, the air was full of fierce killing aura.
After a while, the murderous aura on the emperor's body dissipated, and he spoke in a soft tone again: "Forget it, let's talk to you about something happy." ”
"Recently, the purple spirit trees in the royal capital have bloomed, that scene is really beautiful, I really want you to take a look, after all, you used to like this kind of flower the most."
"Also, Xiao Hei doesn't know why lately, it used to always like to do evil, but recently it seems to be good, and suddenly it has become extremely well-behaved and quiet. At first, I thought it was sick, but after a closer inspection, I found that it was still alive and well. Speaking of which, it's a little unaccustomed to it, and it's not like to make trouble. ”
"By the way, do you remember the concentric tree that the two of us planted together when you left? You said to me at the time that when this tree blooms, it will be the time when we will meet again, and although I thought you were lying to me, just as you had deceived me countless times before, it seemed to me that you were worried that I would go with you when you left, so I specially left a thought. ”
"Although I think you are lying to me, I have watered this concentric tree every day for 10,000 years, even if it is just a dead tree, because after all, this is the few relics you left me. I thought that even if it was another 100,000 years and a million years, the dead tree would still be a dead tree and would never bud and bloom, but I never imagined that just a few days ago, this concentric tree had really pulled out new shoots, and in just a few days, it had grown extremely gratifyingly, and now it has produced small buds. ”
"Look at this, it's only a matter of the past few days, it's just ...... Where are you? ”
The starlight on the star-picking platform is like frost, and the evening breeze is whimpering.
Suddenly, the night overhead seemed to be pierced, accompanied by a loud noise that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the whole night was as bright as day.
A white mang, which seemed to penetrate the heavens and the earth, pierced the sky and fell towards the royal city.
The emperor who was sitting on the star-picking platform looked at this white mang with a peerless aura.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the white light fell from the sky, and with a loud bang, the earth trembled.
The Emperor stood up and flew towards the spot where Bai Mang had fallen not far away, wanting to see what it was.
