Chapter 920: Enthronement Ceremony
In addition to the colorful trees on the streets in the city of Yuezhou in winter, the White Lotus Sect also wants all the people to hang lotus lanterns that symbolize joy and auspiciousness at the door of their homes, and on the street, pedestrians are in a hurry, many people have no smile on their faces, and they rarely see people talking on the street!
Of course, this Yuezhou City is not without happy people, even in the heavy snow, you can still see a lot of freshly dressed angry horses on the street, the kind of luxury four-wheeled carriage customized by the Manufacturing Bureau, the proportion of the appearance here, is actually higher than in the Imperial Capital City, in many places in the city, you can see a carved beam and painted mansion compound, is under new construction, even if it is snowing, there are workers are busy, there are constantly carriages and teams outside the city to pull all kinds of building materials into the city, these people, undoubtedly the upper class of the White Lotus Sect。
Yan Liqiang and their carriage passed through the small half of Yuezhou City, and then drove directly into the mansion through the side door of a fairly grand mansion.
At the main entrance of this mansion, there is a plaque hanging on it, which reads "Guangwei General's Mansion", although this mansion is magnificent, it is not a blink in Yuezhou City, because the entire White Lotus Sect is now named a variety of generals, at least more than 100, and these generals, in Yuezhou City, also have their own mansions.
So many generals and the upper echelons of the White Lotus Sect gathered in one city, if this city is a little smaller, I'm afraid it is really not enough for these people, but the White Lotus Sect can look at this Yuezhou City, and regard this Yuezhou City as the loyalty of the White Lotus Heavenly Kingdom, it is not without reason, Yuezhou City is the thousand-year-old Xiongcheng of the Han Empire, and it is a prosperous area in the southeast of the empire。 The Guangwei General's Mansion used to be the house of a Yuezhou salt merchant.
After unloading the things on the carriage, a steward in the mansion also commanded the family members in the mansion to take out a lot of gorgeous silk and colored satin that Yan Liqiang and the others had just transported, and then redecorated the bare branches on the street outside the mansion to make them more colorful and dazzling.
It wasn't until the evening, after dinner, that it was almost late at night, that Yan Liqiang and a few of them entered the underground secret room in this mansion through the secret passage, and met the current owner of this house, Guo Mingchuan, the Guangwei general of the White Lotus Sect.
Guo Mingchuan is in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a red and purple face, a stocky figure, and a tiger aura in a martial arts practitioner, but his eyes are smart and bright, and he looks like the kind of person who is thick and thin, and it is no wonder that he can hide in Yuezhou City and be entrusted with important tasks by the Dragon King.
"Guo Mingchuan has seen the Holy Maiden, he has seen the Dragon King......" When he saw Yan Liqiang and them appear from the secret passage, Guo Mingchuan was so excited that he made a big salute when he saw Hua Ruxue and the Dragon King, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red.
The Dragon King personally helped Guo Mingchuan up, and sighed, "You've worked hard all these years......
"Those who rebelled and usurped the power of the sect, and made the entire White Lotus Sect into a miasma, have completely changed, if the old holy lord is alive, they will never be allowed to act so recklessly, many brothers and sisters in our sect before were persecuted or forced away by them, Brother Guocheng was forced to lead the army to storm Loushan Pass in Weizhou a few months ago, and it has ...... It's already ......" Speaking of this, Guo Mingchuan's tears couldn't help but flow.
The Dragon King let out a long breath, his words filled with grief, "Don't worry, Guocheng will not die in vain, this time, we will definitely be able to set things right, sweep away those rebellious traitors, let the White Lotus Sect return to the right path, find a way out for all the poor people in the world, and never disappoint the Spirit of the Holy Lord in the sky......" The Dragon King said this, paused, "Let me introduce you, this is His Royal Highness Yan Liqiang, King of Pingxi, this is Elder Li, this is Elder Ji......"
"Guo Mingchuan has seen His Highness, Elder Li, and Elder Ji ......"
"Well, come, let's sit down and say, Mingchuan, you first introduce us to the latest situation in the current sect and the arrangements for the ceremony in three days......
"Yes!"
A few people sat down in the middle of a round table in the secret room, and Guo Mingchuan directly took out a map from his body and spread it out on the table. This is the map of the palace that the old thief is now building in the city, this palace used to be the Yuezhou Palace of the Han Empire royal family, after occupying the Yuezhou City, the old thief collected tens of thousands of craftsmen from me, extravagant, spent nearly 10 million taels of silver, collected treasures and strange things in various states, and renovated the Yuezhou Palace into today's palace, and the enthronement ceremony of the old thief was held in the White Lotus Hall of the palace three days later............
"Then the old thief can show up in the city these days?" asked the dragon king.
"I haven't shown up!" Guo Mingchuan shook his head, "The old thief's whereabouts have been erratic, extremely cautious, a moment ago he may still be in the palace, after a quarter of an hour no one can know where he went, when the palace was rebuilt, he asked the craftsmen he collected to build a few secret passages in the palace, and then he killed those craftsmen, he used secret passages to enter and exit the palace, so it is difficult for outsiders to grasp his whereabouts, but three days later, he will definitely appear at the official enthronement ceremony, he will definitely appear......"
"Apart from him, will those important people under him come to the enthronement ceremony?"
"Basically, they are all here, a few days ago, I don't know where he found some strong masters, just around him, I have got the exact news, in this ceremony, he will wantonly seal the strong masters he found, one of them, will be crowned by him as the prime minister of the White Lotus Heavenly Kingdom, and the remaining ten, together with the ghost king, will be crowned by him as the eleventh heavenly king, the prime minister's cultivation has not been revealed, but the cultivation of the ten heavenly kings is estimated to be not inferior to the ghost king, and the current ghost king has been completely squeezed out by the old thief, and it is becoming more and more unreliable in the White Lotus Sect......”
"How did you hear about this?"
"The sealed holy decree, the big seal, and the official robe have been in a hurry these days, this is what I am responsible for now, all these years I have been responding to the old thief's requests, doing my best, and serving the old thief and his lackeys well, after ascending the throne, the old thief will also make me a young government supervisor......"
Hearing this, Yan Liqiang, Li Hongtu and Ji Xiaoyao looked at each other, and immediately thought of the configuration of the killing team, Nima, maybe this is another Shadow Demon team of Martial Emperor and ten Martial Kings, where did Lin Qingtian find these Shadow Demon powerhouses? If this problem is not solved, if a large number of Shadow Demon powerhouses can appear casually in the future, won't it make a big mess in the world?
Thinking so, Yan Liqiang's face also began to become solemn.
"Is there anyone else worth noting?"
"These are the most important things, in addition to them, the others, mainly a few old people of the White Lotus Sect, now the old people in the sect are from the ghost king down, everyone is in danger, everyone feels that the old thief does not seem to fully trust the old man in the sect, but trusts the mysterious masters and strong people he brought, and is trying to use the people he brought to fully control the power of the sect step by step, this old thief's enthronement ceremony is a beginning, and he wants to receive all the power in the sect in his hands or the hands of the people around him, so many people have grievances, but they dare not show it......”
"Very good, this is the same as what I judged!" the Dragon King nodded, "Have there been any changes in the soldiers and horses of Yuezhou City?"
"There is no change, the main defense inside and outside the city is still in charge of Chiba Wei, and now the one in charge of Chiba Wei is a henchman of the Heavenly King who the old thief wants to appoint, Chiba Wei is well-equipped, and the training is not ordinary, it is the army that the old thief regards as a blade, if you want to move them, I'm afraid it will ......" Guo Mingchuan's brows furrowed, and his face showed a worried look.
"You don't have to worry about Chiba Wei's affairs, we have our own way of dealing with it......"
"Then it's no problem, on the day of the ceremony, I can bring you into the palace, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to enter the White Lotus Hall, I can only be in the middle......"
"Yes, you've done well enough, these two days are very critical, you don't have to do anything, just do what you do, don't expose yourself, everything will be said in three days, then I have other arrangements......"
"Yes!"
Guo Mingchuan then left the secret room, and Yan Liqiang and the Dragon King continued to stay in the secret room.
"Your Highness, everything is basically ready now, but a large number of strong people suddenly appeared around that rebel, which is really a bit unexpected by me, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with when the time comes......" The Dragon King looked at Yan Liqiang with a serious face.
"Don't worry, the strength gathered by the Yuluo Palace this time is enough to deal with them!" Speaking of this, Yan Liqiang looked at Hua Ruxue and said with concern, "Ruxue, there will be a big war in the palace in three days, and once the big war starts, I may not be able to take care of you, so for the sake of safety, I think it's best for you to ......appear after the big war."
Under Yan Liqiang's gaze, Hua Ruxue's face turned a little red inexplicably, but she still shook her head resolutely, "I have to go, if I don't show up, those old people in the sect will be difficult to accept, and I have to pass this level ......"
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will be by Ruxue's side to protect her safety when the time comes!" the Dragon King said.
Yan Liqiang could only nod, "Then are the others arranged?"
"Regardless of whether that rebellion is a human or a demon, as long as His Highness can deal with that rebellion, Chiba Wei and those henchmen around that rebellion, and don't let them run away, this White Lotus Sect will definitely be able to return to our control!"
Yan Liqiang smiled, "That's good, how long will this Han Empire be in chaos, it seems that it depends on whether we can cut off those people's heads in three days......"
The Dragon King narrowed his eyes, "Three days later, the world will know who the future lord of the Han Empire is, and the world will definitely be able to know......"
