Chapter 1 The Beginning of the Beginning
It was night, and the bright moon gradually disappeared into the thick dark clouds, obscuring all her brilliance. The rest of the empty field was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Compared with the black, the silence at this moment is more terrifying.
Silence. The wind that was still blowing just now, the insects in the grass, and the swaying branches of the trees seemed to have all dissipated in an instant.
Contrary to the silence outside the city, the city was noisy and chaotic, with some running back and forth, some smashing and looting, and more of them crying and shouting.
The rebels outside the city have besieged the capital for more than ten days, but the reinforcements of the imperial court have been delayed. In the midst of waiting, it is more of a person's nerves to be consumed. The fear of the people grew heavier and heavier, and it was on this night that it reached its limit, and before you knew it, it exploded completely.
A mansion in the middle of the city seemed to be a paradise in the midst of all the chaos and noise.
The closed door of the house kept everything out of the door.
The same lights are bright, but one of them is unusually conspicuous.
Suddenly, the guards waiting outside the door heard the sound of something breaking with a "clang".
Then there was serenity again.
The two guards glanced at each other, but neither said a word.
And at this moment in the house. A young woman was squatting on the ground, as if she had fallen.
There was also a mirror beside her who had fallen to the ground and had fallen to the ground.
She seemed to be abnormal, but she seemed to be very calm. If you look closely, you will find that otherwise, her hands, in particular, are trembling slightly, and her hands are still tightly clutching two pieces of paper that resemble letters.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were scarlet, and her teeth were biting her lip so tightly that the bright red flowed to the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know it.
Because, all her eyes were fixed on those two pieces of paper.
"Someone!" Her voice was like a mosquito, and no one could hear her.
When she didn't get a reply, she shouted again, and still no one came in.
"Someone!" This time, she had the little strength left in her body.
Finally someone responded.
The door was pushed open, and the soldiers on guard did not dare to enter, so they had to wait outside the door.
"Princess, what do you command?"
"What about Wei Lingjue?" A hoarse voice came out of her mouth, startling the guards.
It's just that this stunned person is also because of the person she just mentioned.
"Back to the princess, the lord has entered the palace!"
And at this time, although the palace was not as noisy and chaotic as the city, it was not much better. The high walls trapped the people inside, but they could not contain their weeping and fear. From time to time, a faint cry came out, and then it dissipated, and then it came out again, and then it disappeared again. The cycle went on and on, the weeping continued, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.
A group of forbidden troops armed with torches ran over and surrounded the entire hall of the previous dynasty.
The burning flames lit up half of the sky and drew out the people in the temple.
The old man in court clothes pushed the door out, but was stopped by the forbidden army guarding the door.
His face changed, and he shouted at the leader who had just come in: "Wei Lingjue, what are you doing?" Do you want to rebel too?"
The old man's questioning did not answer, and he couldn't help but be extremely angry, and looked carefully at the person being questioned, only to see that he was looking up at the sky in a daze.
Until, with a "whoosh", a signal smoke bomb with a red flame rose up, breaking all the darkness and silence. Noise and chaos.
At this moment, the person who was questioned just now withdrew his gaze and instructed his cronies on the side: "I'll leave it to you here, just deal with it, I'll go back to the house first." ”
He turned and walked away. The cries and shouts that suddenly erupted behind him gradually merged with the shouts of the charge outside the city.
