Chapter 53: Celestial Phenomena

On the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the twenty-first year of the Shenlong calendar, a vision fell from the sky, and at noon the day the heavenly dog ate the sun, like a dark night, and the people were terrified, mistakenly thinking that they had angered the gods and provoked divine punishment.

"The emperor has no way, he pampers the ministers, the border pass is lost, the people are in dire straits, the sky sends a vision, and the Lord chooses to stand. ”

The next day, Wen Zhentian issued a message, which caused an incident in Nanhua City, and there were countless followers, and half of the Southern Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of the rebels.

At the same time, the Ziyun army advanced, and the Muwang defended in the area of Donghuang County, and the brutal offensive and defensive battle began.

At the same time, the imperial capital also issued an edict against thieves, promulgated Wen Zhentian's various evil deeds, and ordered the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty to fight against him.

Nanhua City, the City Lord's Mansion, Wen Zhentian sat in the first seat, and a series of orders were issued in an orderly manner.

After a while, Wen Zhentian returned to the inner hall and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Mu Gongzi, there were many things to deal with at the beginning of the incident. ”

"It doesn't matter that you're so careful to prove that we didn't choose the wrong person. Mu Yu waved his hand, disapproving.

"Prime Minister Wen, I said that you can't make trouble in the imperial capital, why do you have to run thousands of miles away?"

Wen Zhentian showed a wry smile and explained: "After all, the imperial capital is the foundation of the Xu family, which is deeply rooted there, and the imperial capital has laid out many powerful prohibitions, which is not good for us. The city lord of Nanhua City is my confidant, and this place is only a thousand miles away from the imperial capital, and the army can go there in a few days. ”

"Uncle Lankong hasn't arrived yet, so we don't need to rush it. Mu Yu said.

......

In the imperial capital, 100,000 forbidden troops gathered, listening to the words of the great commander Yu Qinxun, the battle spirit was rumbling, and the imperial city was firmly guarded.

The outer city outside the imperial city was defended by the defenders of the imperial capital and was heavily guarded.

Countless golden magnetic cannons were pulled up the city wall, and many families in the city also responded, forming a personal guard and stationing on the city wall. After all, they and the royal family are both prosperous and loss-making.

Hu Dan and others, who were in the ranks, Vice President Cangqu, Chen Qi, who had advanced to the Xuan level, Leng Yuhan and the Leng family behind him, fought one after another.

A mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres in the imperial capital, the door plaque hangs three gilded characters of Nalan Mansion, another heaven-level master in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the residence of Nalan Yan, the helmsman of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce.

As the big chaebol of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Nalan family appeared to be very calm in this rebellion, supporting neither the rebels nor the royal family.

The magnificent hall, there is a purple-red incense burner in the main hall, lit with unknown musk, a fragrance lingers, which makes people feel refreshed.

Nalan Su was facing an old man with gray hair and a red coat and said, "Father, I have already sent the people in the court away, do we really want to help each other?"

The old man in red was none other than Nalan Yan, a powerhouse in the early stage of the heavenly level, and he looked very energetic.

Hearing his son's question, Nalan Yan nodded and said: "This battle is destined for us to only help each other, our Nalan Chamber of Commerce started with integrity, if we help the Wen family deal with the imperial court, we will end up with a disloyal and unrighteous name." But if we help the imperial court, it will be even worse, we all have the strength of the Shangzong, once we offend it, we will only be more miserable. And if the two don't help each other, although both sides have opinions about us, they will not offend the dead side. ”

Nalan Yan showed a treacherous and cunning look, and continued: "What's more, the people of the upper sect brought a token, you all have to take a look." ”

Nalan Yan took out a light blue jade pendant.

"This is the Lanxi jade pendant, Xiaoyu's reward in the qualifying competition, Xiaoyu has news?" Nalan Su was overjoyed when he saw the jade pendant, and hurriedly asked.

Nalan Li next to him also showed a look of joy, the loss of Iwacheng and the disappearance of Nalan Xiaoyu, he has been blaming himself.

"That's right, it's Xiaoyu's girl, Su'er Li'er, do you know where Xiaoyu is now?" Speaking of Nalan Xiaoyu, Nalan Yan's serious face rarely showed a smile.

"The news from Shangzong ...... Could it be that Xiaoyu is in Shangzong at this moment?" Nalan Su thought for a while and replied.

"That's right, this girl joined the Shangzong by mistake, which surprised me, and because of her Mengyue physique, she was accepted as a disciple by an elder of the Shangzong as soon as she entered the sect. Nalan Yan said with a smile.

"That's really good, with Xiaoyu's talent, coupled with Shangzong's cultivation, it's not impossible to reach my father's realm in the future. Shangzong looks at Xiaoyu's face, and he will not resent us because we didn't help us. Nalan Li said in surprise.

"Hmph, of course, otherwise, relying on the two of you, our Nalan family will be in trouble in the future. Nalan Yan glanced at his youngest son angrily.

The two brothers, Nalan Yan and Nalan Li, are both in the Xuan-level realm, so the Nalan family has been ridiculed for not being accepted, but fortunately, the talent for martial arts is not strong, but in terms of business, the two brothers are well organized.

"Since Xiaoyu has joined the Shangzong, why don't we ......" Nalan Li's eyes showed a strange look.

"I know what you mean, but there's no need, do you have the kung fu or quickly check the identity of the person who robbed us of the finale item of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce in Rock City that day. Nalan Yan stopped.

"Back to my father, this matter has been investigated, this person does not seem to be from the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no trace of this person in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I have already asked people to go to Ziyun to investigate. Nalan Li's face fell.

"Hmph, then you have the leisure to care about other things?"

......

Xu Xiaodong sat on the bed, his mind moved, and the task of saving Nantang appeared.

It's refreshed at the moment.

"Ding, save the Southern Tang Dynasty task one, defend the imperial capital!Complete reward: 5000 achievement points!"

In the Ganlu Palace, Xu Yue and many Southern Tang officials were discussing, and a series of orders were issued.

"How's the Golden Magnetic Yuan Cannon checked?"

"Are the spirit stones prepared enough?"

"How is Jing Zhaoyin's pacification work doing?"

"The Imperial City doesn't need so many forbidden troops, so 70,000 people will be transferred to guard the outer city, and another 10,000 will be transferred to assist the Tianlong Army to patrol the city to prevent spies from causing chaos. ”

"Your Majesty, there are only 20,000 forbidden troops left in the imperial city, which is not good for Niangniang and others. An official advised.

"Once the outer city is broken, the rivers and mountains are gone, how can you have so many scruples, and there is a formation to protect it, the enemy can't break the city, and you can't organize a large-scale army to invade the imperial city, 20,000 forbidden troops are enough. ”

"Your Majesty, when the Wen Mansion defected, many domestic servants did not bring with them, how to deal with them?"

"The ambition of the wolf son of Wenfu, since these people have been abandoned by them, it has been proved that there are no core secrets involved, in order to temporarily take them into custody just in case, and then the investigation will be clear and they will be dealt with. ”

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Zhentian led a million rebels to the imperial capital.

Looking at the city wall more than ten zhang high, Wen Zhentian narrowed his eyes, he had lived in this city for decades, but he didn't expect to come back today as an intruder.

On the city wall, the horn had already sounded, and Xu Yue and Lu Cangtian came to the battlefield in person, looking at each other from afar.

Xu Xiaodong was also dispatched to defend the southern city wall, driving a three-zhang long and one-zhang wide golden magnetic cannon every few meters.

A sharp weapon for siege, each cannon is equivalent to a blow from a Xuan-level powerhouse, but the disadvantage is that it is too cumbersome and slow to fire.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no intention of rebelling, but you are not in the right position, mediocre, causing hundreds of people to resent, the country is crumbling, if you can give an edict to abdicate, the old minister will scatter the army. Wen Zhentian's voice was mighty.

"It's useless to talk more, everyone can be punished for the chaos and thieves, and if you want me to abdicate, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it. ”

"That being the case...... Attack!" Wen Zhentian lowered his hand heavily.

The horn sounded repeatedly, rockets and rocks flew towards the city walls, and countless soldiers rushed to the city.
