Chapter 41: Changes in the Imperial Capital

"The city is over, we need to leave quickly. Chu Qi's words kept lingering in everyone's ears.

Until Chu Qi had already built the spatial passage, Li Xi still stood in place with some fluster.

The speed at which the circle contracted was very fast, and everyone could not be stunned again. Ye Qing patted Li Xian's shoulder, signaling that everyone needed to leave quickly.

As the circle drew closer, the wails and screams became clearer. The five of them finally stepped into the spatial passage and left in this terror.

The exit of the passage was outside the city, and when everyone came out, the purple light array was only about a zhang wide, and it all shrank and disappeared in a few moments.

Li Shi stood at the gate of the city and looked at the city, his eyebrows revealing an indescribable emotion.

Is the city just gone? Li Shi looked at the empty city gate, and a strong sense of remorse and unwillingness suddenly surged into his heart.

From beginning to end, he just kept following Chu Qi's actions, in the final analysis, he didn't pay enough attention to this matter, and he didn't seriously analyze every detail, and his blind confidence in himself led to no obstruction of the other party's plan at all.

If you do your best, will things turn around......

Li Xian thought about it, and walked forward unconsciously......

"It's better not to look at the ground. Ye Qing suddenly grabbed Li Xian's shoulder.

"Go back to the imperial capital, Chu Yun should have already brought the news. Now it's time to start preparing for defense.

"Lord Chu, how much do you know about them!"

Li Shi asked suddenly, and this was exactly what Ye Qing was about to ask.

Suddenly, all eyes converged on Chu Qi's body.

"I can't tell you. Chu Qi responded lightly.

Looking at Chu Qi, Ye Qing found that the current Chu Qi had changed a lot from the feeling he had when he was in Ling Ping before, so big that it didn't look like the same person.

"What did you know about Lingping before? ”

Ye Qing asked, but Chu Qi still didn't answer positively.

"All you need to know now is that the situation is critical, and you need to do everything in your power to protect the Imperial Capital. ”

Boom!

The Chengying Sword suddenly came out of its sheath and rested on Chu Qi's neck.

"Are you going to die with those secrets? Ye Qing said with a cold face.

As soon as Ye Qing's voice fell, flames suddenly erupted from under Chu Qi's feet, trying to cover Ye Qing from all directions, and finally stopped less than a meter in front of Ye Qing.

"You don't have the qualifications to force me. ”

Chu Qi looked at Ye Qing, and the displeasure on his face was obvious.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Meng Ran and Li Xi actually pulled the two away at the same time.

"I'll go back to the imperial capital. Chu Qi dropped this sentence and walked away by himself.

Although Ye Qing still wanted to stop it, judging from Chu Qi's momentum just now, she might not be her opponent.

Guangfu City was frustrated again, which made Ye Qingde's heart a little shaken. Can he really take on this kind of responsibility? Is it related to the responsibility of the survival of the imperial capital?

......

Half a day later, everyone discussed and decided that Meng Ran was still here to watch the situation in Guangfu City, and Ye Qing and the others returned to the imperial capital to report.

Speechless all the way, Ye Qing kept thinking about how he would face Dong Xin if he met him next time.

Ye Qing couldn't think of the result. And Ye Qing faintly felt in his heart that something might happen to the imperial capital. Because Chu Qi has always been chasing Dong Xin again, and this time she said that she would return to the imperial capital, does that mean that the imperial capital will be Dong Xin's next target?

Ye Qing shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much. The defensive power of the imperial capital was not something that Dong Xin could invade casually.

But...... What if......

What if Dong Xin can invade the imperial capital, and then give the imperial capital such a big array......

Ye Qing found that Dong Xin had begun to be omnipotent in his impression......

No, this kind of thinking must be stifled, otherwise I may end up here in my life. If you are afraid of the enemy, how can you fight!

With this mood, it was already four days later when I returned to the imperial capital.

There was no one in front of the gate of the imperial capital, and the gate was closed, and only a few officers stood at the door, as if martial law was under martial law.

Ye Qing and the four walked over with some curiosity. However, when he reached the door, he was stopped by the officer with a spear.

"Who, take out the pass!" the officer scolded.

"Pass?" Ye Qing frowned.

"Let you take it out, are you deaf!"

As he spoke, the officer walked towards Ye Qing, and after walking in front of Ye Qing, he stood still, looked Ye Qing up and down, and then leaned into Ye Qing's ear.

"If you don't have a pass, I won't see you when the money comes out, otherwise, I'll let you try what the prison food tastes like. ”

Ye Qing was already on fire in his heart. This person even dared to rob Ye Qing, which was completely an act of adding fuel to the fire. You must know that Ye Qing was also a tyrant in the imperial capital, but he later reined in the Imperial Forest Army.

"Which unit are you from? Ye Qing asked with a cold face.

"Yo, you dare to interrogate Lao Tzu. The officer looked at Ye Qing and raised his fist. "Lao Tzu will let you know today which army Lao Tzu belongs to!"

As he spoke, the other party's fist smashed down on Ye Qing's face.

Boom!

The cold flashed, and the officer's fist suddenly fell weakly.

The screams came, and Ye Qing wiped the blood stains on Chengying Sword's body with the clothes of the officer opposite.

It turned out that at that moment just now, Ye Qing directly used the Chengying Sword to cut off the entire muscle on the opponent's hand.

"Next time, if you have a long memory, not everyone you can afford to mess with. ”

Chengying Sword was taken back, and Ye Qing strode forward and walked to the guards at the city gate.

"Open the gates. Ye Qing said coldly.

Where had the guard seen such an arrogant person, and he didn't dare to move for a while, Ye Qing saw that the other party didn't react, and immediately frowned, and wanted to make some movements, but suddenly heard a voice from the city wall.

"Lord Ye, you can be regarded as back!"

No sooner had the voice come than a figure fell from the city wall. Ye Qing looked at it and saw that it was a face he didn't recognize.

"Open the city gate, this is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Lord Ye Qingye! There are also some high-ranking officials behind him, and you don't know how to lift up. ”

After the man shouted, the gates slowly opened.

"Who are you, I don't remember you in the Royal Guards. Ye Qing asked.

This person's eyes are very raw, and with the way he speaks, at least he is a person at the level of a thousand chiefs, but there are ten thousand chiefs in total, and Ye Qing doesn't remember this person.

"It's normal that Lord Ye doesn't remember, after all, I've just taken office. The man said, and said with a slight smile towards Ye Qing and the others: "He Tianyuan, who just took up the post of commander of the seventh battalion of the Imperial Forest Army the day before yesterday, please give me more advice." ”

"Seventh Battalion, the commander of the Seventh Battalion, I remember it is Wang Ren. Ye Qing said.

"Lord Wang made trouble after drinking a few days ago, and was dismissed from his official position by His Majesty, so I have a chance to take office. ”

Wang Ren's person Ye Qing has some impressions, he is a practical person, and this person is deeply trusted by His Majesty, it is impossible for him to make trouble after drinking, and even if he makes trouble after drinking, His Majesty will not be able to punish him so severely, directly remove him from his official position, and find someone to replace him so quickly......

There were some doubts about what he said, but Ye Qing didn't pursue it too much, after all, there are still important things to do, and the matter of Guangfu City has happened for the third time, and I don't know what will happen next, so I must report to His Majesty immediately.

"If I still want to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, I will go first. ”

Ye Qing said a word and walked towards the city, followed by Li Xi and Gao Lie.

As soon as he walked into the city, Ye Qing noticed a trace of abnormality. The market is sparsely populated, and most of the restaurants and inns are closed, wondering if something is happening.

"Why haven't I been in the imperial capital for so many years, has the imperial capital changed so much?" Li Xian, who was behind Ye Qing, suddenly asked.

"I also find it strange that this was not the case before I left the imperial capital. Ye Qing responded and then said, "Anyway, let's hurry up and see Your Majesty." ”

The three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour, and when they were about to reach the gate of the palace, they were suddenly blocked by a person. Ye Qing recognized this person, this person was the girl who used a bow and arrow to stop him when he went to the Shenji Camp, and Chu Yun seemed to call her at that time...... Qing'er?

Qing'er and Ye Qing glanced at each other, and then immediately turned around and ran away.

Ye Qing sensed that Qing'er should have something to tell him, so he immediately chased after him. Li Xi and Gao Lie also followed.

Qing'er took Ye Qing for a long time and finally stopped in a remote alley.

"What's going on?" Ye Qing asked.

"I need your help. Qing'er stared at Ye Qing and said.

"Sister Chu Yun has been arrested, and now only you can save her!"

Chu Yun was arrested? This news surprised Ye Qing very much.

Chu Yun is also the second deputy of the Shenji Battalion, the Shenji Battalion is a group of people who directly obey His Majesty's orders, except for His Majesty, no one has the right to move the people of the Shenji Battalion, so who was Chu Yun arrested?

"What's going on. Ye Qing asked.

"The day after Sister Chu Yun and you left, a series of terrible things happened in the palace one after another, first of all, His Majesty suddenly became seriously ill, and he couldn't go back to the early dynasty, and at this time, Lord Zuo Si suddenly united with several important ministers to control the imperial city and block the information of the imperial city. ”

Qing'er said, Ye Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper,

Blockading the imperial city, this is an attempt to force the palace? At present, the emperor has no children under his knees, could it be that they want to rebel?

"And then?" Ye Qing asked.

"After taking control of the Imperial City, they first took action against our Divine Machine Battalion. It is a crime to say that Sister Chu Yun participated in Ling Ping-related matters without His Majesty's consent. Fortunately, a lord rescued Sister Chu Yun first. ”

"After that, a lord imprisoned Sister Chu Yun in the prison of the Shenji Battalion, but early this morning, after the Lord entered the palace, the person named He Tianyuan immediately broke in, and our Shenji Camp forcibly took Sister Chu Yun away. ”
