Chapter 14: The Nine Demons Escape

Torrential rain fills the gods.

This rainstorm is murderous.

The peace of Chongrangfang was broken, and the black-pressed forbidden army came from all directions with neat and dull steps, three steps and one person, swords and axes, and the water around the entire Chongrangfang was impassable.

These sturdy forbidden soldiers dressed in heavy bright light armor and holding halberds were the most elite soldiers in the palace. These people don't go out of the imperial city on weekdays, and only the tiger talisman of the Son of Heaven can mobilize them.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Baiqi will be the commander of Xia Zhenyang and quickly enter the palace to face the saint!" A eunuch shouted at a sharp voice.

Two fast horses were separated from the forbidden army, Tang Yun and Xia Zhenyang each rode one, escorted by a team of iron horses, through the dark streets, and rushed towards the imperial city.

The imperial city of the divine capital is brightly lit.

The Suzaku door was wide open, and the long lamp in front of the door reflected the reflection of the armor, and the group of soldiers in iron helmets did not move even in the torrential rain. They were the guards of the sixteen guards, and they were in charge of the gates of the palace.

The iron cavalry spread out the flag far away, waving it back and forth, and someone above the imperial city was waving the flag. With a smooth whistle from above, the guard neatly moved out of the way.

Xia Zhenyang and Tang Yunfei rode past the prison guards, all the way through Chengtianmen Street, crossed the Chengtian and Taiji gates, and entered the palace wall before dismounting and walking.

The Taiqian Hall is located in the middle of the entire palace city, and it is in this palace that everyone performs their early court performances.

In the palace shrouded in darkness, the Taiqian Hall is like a giant beast, entrenched and sitting.

The lantern in front of the temple was blown around by the wind, and several chamberlains used their bodies to protect the wind and prevent the fire in the lantern from being extinguished.

Tang Yun entered the palace for the second time, but this time it was different, and there was obviously a solemn aura in the wind.

They walked all the way into the front of the Taiqian Hall from the outside, and they could see the soldiers parading everywhere, and the Taiqian Hall was surrounded by a large army, and the bright blades were full of coldness.

"Xia Dutong, Your Majesty is in the Taiqian Palace, please come in!" A eunuch stood at the door of the Taiqian Palace, letting the wind and rain hit him.

Tang Yun was an internal guard, but the empress only announced Xia Zhenyang alone, and Tang Yun had to wait outside.

The palace is very empty, there is no scene of the courtiers, and everything here seems very quiet. The flames burning in the bronze lamp were reflected on the dragon pillar, reflecting the hideous horns of the beast.

The empress stood in front of the dragon chair, wearing only a plain robe, and only Xiao Qianqin was accompanying her.

"Xia Zhenyang, see Your Majesty." Xia Zhenyang bowed slightly.

"Master Xia, how are you preparing?" The empress looked at the door and asked directly.

Xia Zhenyang bowed down and said: "The national teacher immortal has passed away, and the Demon Suppression Tower has long been unstable. The minister made arrangements a long time ago, and the 20,000 forbidden troops have surrounded Chongrangfang, and a hundred horsemen have been dispatched in the starry night, and they have gone to the gods to guard each gate, and they will not let a monster escape from the gods! ”

Xia Zhenyang's voice resounded throughout the hall, becoming louder and louder.

The empress's brow gradually loosened, and she sat back on the dragon chair. Xiao Qianqin sent a bowl of lotus seed soup and put it beside the empress.

"Back then, the demons were rampant, and the lives were devastated. The former Chaoyang Emperor established the town demon tower, locking the demons in the world. However, Kyushu had ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the people were displaced, and it took a hundred years for the world to recover. I don't want the scene of the past to reappear in the world. ”

The empress took a sip of lotus seed soup and put it aside, her fingers pressed between her eyebrows, her face tired.

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will be helped by God." Xia Zhenyang said softly.

Silence returned to the surroundings, and everyone waited.

Sou!

Outside, there was the sound of fireworks exploding in the sky, one by one following a certain rhythm.

The sound of horses' hooves came from outside the palace walls, and then it turned into the sound of hurried footsteps. A eunuch wanted to open the door, but was pushed away and broke directly into the palace.

"Bold!" The soldiers guarding outside drew their swords to stop them.

"Stand down!" The empress shouted loudly, and the soldiers hurriedly withdrew their knives and closed the door.

The one who rushed in was a green-robed petty official, the black veil on his head was crooked to one side, his whole body was soaked in rain, and half of his face was covered by his hair that was scattered.

He ran to the phoenix platform and knelt down in three steps and two steps, and just wanted to speak, but found that because he was running too fast, he couldn't breathe for a while.

He breathed for ten breaths.

"Minister, Qin Tianjian Wuguan Lingtai Lang Pan Jin, see Your Majesty!" The green-robed petty officer knelt down and bowed, his head on the ground.

Lingtailang is a petty official from the seventh grade, and he is not qualified to enter the court, and naturally no one has taught him, and the Son of Heaven who is not wearing a dragon robe does not need to worship so much.

"What do you have to do?" The empress asked in a deep voice.

Pan Jin began to tremble, this was the only time he could be so close to the Empress Fa. Such a scene that existed only in a dream has now come true, but in such a situation.

Qin Tianjian watched the stars and divined, and designated the calendar, but there was another secret that no one knew, that is, guarding the Demon Suppression Tower.

It's night, Qiyao is displaced, nine demons devour dragons, big murderer!

The prison is dead, the master is dead, and the facial features are dead!

On that day, none of the people who looked at the astrological chart had a good end!

Pan Jin said in a trembling voice: "There are three thousand nine million seven hundred and twenty two thousand two hundred and thirty-one demons in the town of the Demon Suppression Tower, and Qin Tianjian calculates that there are nine big demons missing. ”

Boom!

The porcelain bowl in the empress's hand fell to the ground and shattered instantly.

Nine Great Demons!

In the Demon Town Tower, the demons on each floor are the monsters that disturbed the world and stirred up the storm back then.

After Pan Jin finished speaking, he couldn't speak anymore, the blood had already overflowed from his mouth, and he actually came to the palace with an idea! Now he has already been seriously injured and can no longer hold on.

"Doctor Chuan!" The empress snorted.

The medical officers of the Imperial Doctor's Department hurriedly walked in and quickly treated Pan Jin's body, and the empress said that Pan Jin should be allowed to survive.

After being busy, these divine doctors from all over the Great Zhou were covered with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Half of Pan Jin's body has been eaten, and under his green-robed official uniform, he is already a crippled body. It turned out that Pan Jin was not out of shape because of nervousness, but completely restless under severe pain.

"The ministers are derelict in their duties, he is dead." A group of imperial physicians knelt down and bowed.

"Bury him!" The empress waved her hand and rushed over several eunuchs to drag Pan Jin's body away.

After the Imperial Physician left, silence returned to the hall. But everyone's heart is no longer as calm as it was at the beginning.

These nine big demons are either still lurking in the Shendu, or have escaped from the Shendu. Either way, the consequences are severe.

The empress stood up from the dragon chair and walked down from the phoenix platform.

"Master Xia, nine big demons escaped from the demon tower, these monsters that can make the world chaotic with just one head, what should the people of my Great Zhou do?" The empress walked in front of Xia Zhenyang.

"It's the fault of the minister, please punish your majesty." Xia Zhenyang lowered his head.

The empress sighed lightly: "What's the use of punishing you, the national teacher is dead, and the Tongtian Sect is ruined." The Northern Wilderness Iron Cavalry is eyeing the tiger, if I regenerate civil strife in the Great Zhou, I am afraid that the war will not be able to be stopped. ”

Outside the main hall, fireworks flew in bursts one after another, which was the signal of the forbidden army to the palace.

It can be seen that the offensive of the forbidden army is going well. After the Demon Tower was covered by thunder, all the monsters who dared to peek out of the Demon Tower were all wiped out under the thunder.

But the atmosphere in the Taiqian Hall was too dull.

The empress came to the Central Plains, with a lofty status, and the Great Zhou Dynasty became stronger and stronger, but everyone subconsciously chose to forget, forgetting the past when the Northern Wilderness Iron Horse broke into the Central Plains more than ten years ago.

Those nine great demons are a stone that weighs on everyone's hearts.

If the monster is making waves in the Great Zhou, the Northern Wilderness will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity.

It takes a person, who is strong enough and smart enough to arrest these nine demons one by one!

Several people know this truth, the question is, the key is who to choose?

The empress's mind flashed the shadows of generals one by one, but she shook her head helplessly. These generals are superior to the enemy on the battlefield, but if they are used for arrest, it will be even worse.

Magistrate's House, they are just a few dogs raised by the empress.

Yushitai is a group of civil officials, too upright and conformist.

The empress pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then I will order Si Xingsi to take over the case." ”

Si Xing Si examines criminal prison cases, they are the best at hunting, if they are allowed to do it, it is the most appropriate.

Xiao Qianqin suddenly stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister proposes, don't let Si Xingsi do it." ”

"Why?"

"Si Xing Temple has a transcendent status, and it is the place where my Great Zhou Prison is reviewed. Every day, tens of thousands of cases are handled through Si Xing Temple. In this way, Si Xing Temple must be under the attention of all parties. Although the people of Sixing Temple are loyal to His Majesty, it is inevitable that there will be a few silverfish hiding in the meantime. If Beihuang learns that the nine big demons escaped from the Demon Town Tower, I am afraid that my Great Zhou will be extremely passive. Xiao Qianqin said softly.

A glint flashed in the empress's eyes, and she said, "Then who do you think is appropriate?" ”

"First of all, this person must be absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and secondly, he must be good at arresting and arresting, and the most important thing is that he must not be too conspicuous." Xiao Qianqin suddenly hesitated, "However, there is a candidate for the minister." ”

"Oh, who?"

"Captain of the Hundred Cavalry, Captain Tang Yun of the Cavalry!"

The empress's eyes were a little dazed at first, and then a fine light bloomed. Indeed, no one can be more suitable than Tang Yun.

When it comes to arrest, Tang Yun is a wolf hunter, and he is named after hunting the most cunning blue wolf guard in the Northland Desert.

He is not very conspicuous, a person who has just come to the Shendu is just a military attache of the sixth grade, and no one cares.

In terms of loyalty, she has already placed Tang Yun in Shendu and promoted to the internal guard, which is enough for Tang Yun to be grateful!

The empress thought about it, and Tang Yun was the most suitable, even if the job she originally arranged for Tang Yun was not this. But in a hurry, I had to choose him!

"Where is Tang Yun now?" The Empress asked.

Xia Zhenyang bowed and said, "Tang Yun entered the palace with his ministers, and now he is waiting outside the palace. ”

"Xuan!" The empress returned to the phoenix platform and sat on the dragon chair. Now that she has found someone to do it, she is no longer in a hurry. At this moment, she became the high-status Ninety-Five again.
