At this time, Tongwan City, even if it is shrouded in night, is like a shining night pearl in this vast wilderness.

There are still banners on the city wall, although you can't see the words on it clearly, but don't think about it, it must be a vigorous and powerful "Wei" word.

Now it was night, and there was not much fire in the outer city and the east city, only the west city, which seemed to burn itself out, and the lights were bright.

I don't know how long it took for the old but deep voice of the sect leader to sound on the side of the right protector, "It's obviously a big army attacking the city, and it's just that there is no fire to the sky, but it can't even catch up with the usual excitement of the Ten Thousand Cities, and the country is dying so quietly, it's really boring to see the deity." ”

The Right Dharma Protector knew that the Zoroastrian Sect had been operating in Great Xia for several years, and if it overturned overnight, the mood of the sect leader would definitely not be much better. He hurriedly said: "If the sect leader allows it, the subordinates will return to the underground palace and kill that Tan Yuyu to vent the anger of the sect leader." ”

The sect leader laughed a few times, "The people of the world are stupid, and they always think that the death of the country is the fault of Daji and Baoxi. But in fact, who has the power to subvert a prosperous country by being a human being? It was Helian himself who ruined Great Xia. What eats away at our foundation is not Tan Zhaoyu, but the Xingshi Building behind her. As long as there are walkers, they can always find someone at a new turning point. Only the Walker Building was destroyed......"

The sect leader's voice still sounded powerful and unfazed, but it faintly revealed some murderous aura. His eyes were like lightning, and he just glanced at the right protector beside him, which made the latter tremble.

Then, the sect leader seemed to recover his mind again, and calmly ordered, "You take your things, go to the Eastern Shrine to take refuge." Without the edict of the deity, you must not appear. The world is going to be chaotic soon. We'll have countless opportunities to make a comeback. ”

The Right Protector knew that it was not safe near Tongwan City at this time. The Wei army's spies and patrols could spot them at any time. So he said goodbye, "My subordinates will retire." I also hope that the sect leader will go south this time and have a smooth journey. ”

In the most magnificent and luxurious court hall of the Xia Dynasty, Tuoba Tao looked at the Xia Dynasty palace people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is Helian Chang?" ”

A few palace people in the front row secretly raised their eyes to look at Helian Ke, the princess of the Xia Dynasty who was kneeling at the front.

Now the emperor's life and death are unknown, and the king of the plains is far away in Chang'an. The actual master in the palace is the only one left who is the sister of the emperor and the king of the plains, Princess Helian Ke of Fufeng.

The palace people saw that Helian Ke only knelt on the ground and did not say a word, and they couldn't figure out her attitude.

Seeing that the palace people were hesitating, Tuobatao's personal guards directly drew their swords and threatened, so frightened that one of them quickly replied tremblingly: "The emperor brought some people and left Xicheng two hours ago...... He hasn't been seen since......"

When Tuoba Tao heard this, he waited for a while, and when he saw that no one answered again, he glanced over with one eye, and ten people immediately walked out of the guard, raised their swords and fell, and directly took the lives of the ten attendants in the front row. The one who was left to answer was caught in the middle and sprayed blood on his face, and the person was also paralyzed with fright.

The corpses were quickly dragged out of the main hall, and when they passed the rest of the palace people, everyone did not dare to look at the corpses, but turned their heads tremblingly.

It's just that they don't want to look at it, and they can't ignore the few dazzling and terrifying blood paths left by the corpse on the ground.

Tuoba Tao's voice seemed to be above the heads of all the people in the Summer Palace, striking everyone's heart word by word, "The master of the Ten Thousand Cities has changed. If there are still people who don't understand this, and always want to see the face of the old master, then I am happy to send you to the underground to continue serving your old master. ”

Half of Tuoba Tao's words were for the palace people, and the other half was for Princess Helenke.

As the victor, Tuoba Tao didn't mind helping the princess who was kneeling and keeping her back straight to sober up.

"Does anyone else know where Helian Chang is?" Tuoba's voice came again. But all that was left was trembling, and no one said anything.

It seems that this is all the people in the palace know. Tuoba Tao immediately ordered to send more people to search for the two cities in the east and west, and he was sure to find Helian Chang.

As soon as Tuobatao's order came out, the face of Helian Ke, who was kneeling, changed again and again. Helian Chang may still be alive, this speculation undoubtedly makes the princess Helian Ke, who is the master of Wei, very contradictory.

She naturally didn't want her imperial brother to die, even if the Xia Dynasty was now considered to exist in name only, Helian Ke still hoped that someone would stand in front for her.

But she felt shameless to face her brother. When rumors spread in the palace that the imperial brother had died, she only felt that the sky had fallen. The first thought that came to my mind was not to fight with the Wei army and avenge the imperial brother, but how to protect myself and how not to be humiliated when the Wei army invaded the palace.

Helian Ke knew very well that even though she was deeply favored by her father and brother because of her beauty, she even made an exception to use Fufeng as her fief and became the only princess in the Xia Dynasty who had her own fief.

But even so, the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty would not obey her orders. Helian Ke, who has always been held in the palm of his hand, doesn't even know how many troops there are in Xicheng now and how they are deployed.

Therefore, when she mistakenly thought that her brother was dead, the only way she could think of was to surrender Kaesong to save her life.

As a princess who grew up in the palace, although Helian Ke knows nothing about politics and military affairs, she knows very well how to win a place for herself in front of a high-ranking and powerful man as a woman.

She gritted her teeth, only one sentence kept repeating in her head. You can't show weakness, and once you show weakness, you will become the plaything of the winner.

Her straight back had begun to grow faintly sour from the constant stiffness. But she still didn't dare to relax a bit. Because Helenke knows very well that her future fate depends entirely on her performance at the moment.

Tired, frightened, guilty, and panicked like the waves of the sea, wave after wave came towards her, and just when Helian Ke thought that he couldn't hold on anymore, Tuoba Tao's voice sounded again, "Where is the heavenly woman who did it for you?" ”

This time, the palace people didn't dare to delay any longer, and a few people who knew about it immediately replied.

"Xian Ji, no, the Heavenly Maiden has gone to the city wall of Dongcheng."

"The Heavenly Maiden was in the underground palace before."

"The Celestial Maiden may be with the emperor."

As soon as the chaotic reply ended, Tuobatao's face was so black that he could frighten a person to death, he frowned, as if he was barely restraining his anger and said: "After talking for a long time, none of you even know where she is now?" ”

Tuoba Tao's voice was actually not loud, but the killing intent and cold contained in the sound penetrated the ears of every Summer Palace person like a magic spell. This kind of undisguised anger is obviously different from Fang Cai.
