Chapter 152: Flowing Cloud Tent (16)

Fengluan Palace.

Just after the hour, before it was clear, Lin Zhuo rushed from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the palace and went straight to the harem.

Wu Xi and the others were already waiting in the main hall.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Lin Xiang!" He Xuan saw the salute, and brought Wu Xi and Nan Rong Puchu's investigation outside the palace one by one, and requested: "Please also ask Lin Xiang to take me into the Chengqian Hall immediately!" ”

"What?"

Lin Xiang was shocked when he heard this, "The mining site is not located in Dongshan?!" ”

"Yes! The mining place chosen by the prince of He Yun is the border area of Xinzhou! The mountain is barren and hard, and there is no mine! And the collapse of Dongshan is not a natural event, there are traces of man-made gunpowder explosion! ”

"It's broken!"

Hearing this, the white-haired and white-bearded old man was shocked and looked anxious, "No wonder Nangong Zhe asked for his order to be fully responsible for the mining of Dongshan, in order to hide from the world and empty the last funds of the treasury!" ”

It turned out that over the years, the royal family had spent a lot of money on the charms used for cultivation, and the treasury was strapped for money. When Emperor Shunze was worried about this, Nangong Zhe advised him to follow the example of Weicheng mining and fill the treasury with jade and jewelry to alleviate the urgent need.

Dongshan mining is the power of the whole country, and it is a desperate way to break the kettle and sink the boat! In order for Dongshan mining to proceed smoothly, the state treasury has long been unable to make ends meet, and it has been in deficit for a long time.

The palace even cut down on food and clothing for a whole year, and even the private property of various high-ranking officials and big families was forced to inject into it!

If the location is unfavorable, there is no return of jade, and the treasury has not returned funds for a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the north and the people will panic!

Saying this, Nangong Zhe's treason has already been confirmed, Lin Xiang can't care so much, and rushes to the Qiancheng Hall with He Xuan and Wuxi.

Before he reached the outside of the hall, he saw several lightning flashes out of thin air in the hazy sky, and the thunder was rolling, turning into countless fierce white lights and slashing towards one place in the hall!

Not good!

Wu Xi sighed in his heart, held Lin Xiang, and went to the gong!

He Xuan hurriedly followed.

The hall was empty, and the fresco behind the dragon chair was removed, revealing a hollow entrance.

It's a dark room!

The three of them hurried away, and before they could get closer, they heard a mournful cry.

In the empty dark room, Nan Rongpu was shrouded in a milky white halo, his eyes were slightly closed, his face was bloodless, and a trace of blood oozed from his lips, obviously fainting.

Not far away, Nan Mu fell at the foot of the pillar in the hall, Nan Rongze and He Cheng were lying together, and Nangong Zhe was lying not far away, all of them were already lifeless! And He Yi was hugging He Cheng, crying bitterly, and when he saw He Xuan coming, he raised his eyes and said with a face full of shame, "Ah Xuan! I'm sorry! It's me who didn't protect the head of the house! ”

"Daddy!"

In such a shocking scene, He Xuanchuang was in great pain, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.

He staggered towards He Cheng, tears hanging in his eyes, and it took a long time to find his voice, "Dad...... Daddy......"

"The Holy Lord of the Family, the Commander of Nanmu, and the Priest of Nangong performed the secret method together to change the Gou Chen Divine Power in the body of the first son of Pu. I was waiting outside the temple, but suddenly the sky was different, and then there was no movement in the temple. I was worried about the situation inside, so I took it upon myself to go into the dark room......"

He Yi couldn't cry, and told the previous situation one by one, "As a result... I saw that the commander of Nanmu had been killed, the head of the family was seriously injured, and Nangong Zhe... Killed the Holy One! ”

"Fortunately, Nangong Zhe has been seriously injured, and when I kill Nangong Zhe, turn back... The head of the house has ......"

"Holy!" Overnight, the Lord of the North has died here! Lin Zhuo's heart was shocked, and he staggered to his knees in place, old tears were rampant!

The morning light slowly tilted from the exit of the dark room, accompanied by a warm orange glow, the sky, which seemed to be already bright.

……

On the thirteenth day of November in the twenty-first year of Shunze, when the sky was about to dawn, a miserable white lightning split between the pale cyan sky above the top of the northern border. With a strong white light, bursts of thunder gathered out of thin air.

At the same time, a white light rose straight into the sky from somewhere in the Imperial City Palace, and the thunder and lightning turned into a divine dragon and descended along the white light!

In just a moment, he was born with a vision - an earthy brown divine beast illusion suddenly appeared above the dark sky, with a lion's head and antlers, a tiger's eye and an elk body, breaking through the sky and flying clouds, looking up to the sky and roaring! One roared thunder, and the second roared white light turned over and jumped to the tail, revealing the state of a long snake.

Three thunderstorms fell from the sky and tyrannically slashed into the palace!

"The Divine Beast has appeared!"

"The Divine Beast has appeared!"

……

Such a vision naturally alarmed everyone in the north.

In the Imperial City, the people outside the enchantment rushed out of their homes one after another, bowing and worshiping the illusion of the divine beast in the azure sky, muttering to themselves, begging for the protection of the gods they had believed in all their lives!

And the cultivators in the He Mansion did not go out like the people in the city, but were summoned together by He Jiu. Since that thunder tribulation fell from the sky, the deep demonic qi that had been entrenched outside the East Mountain for a long time suddenly surged, approaching outward from the mainland!

It seems to be some kind of natural code, awakening the demons who are about to move outside the East Mountain!

The enemy has arrived, the reinforcements have not arrived, and even the palace within the barrier does not know what the situation is. But the only people in the imperial city who can guard the people in the city are the people of Hefu.

He Jiu stopped and stood, pointed his sword at the sky, and ordered many cultivators in the mansion, "Swear to defend the people in the city to the death!" ”
