After the end of the court, the ministers returned home.

Some ministers hurriedly packed up their things with their families and prepared to leave the burning city, while some ministers swore to death and went home without saying a word, ready to live and die with the royal family, and some ministers returned home with a sneer on their faces and closed their doors.

The entire Burning City suddenly began to become weird, and the second generations who were usually arrogant and domineering in the city seemed to have disappeared collectively, and they didn't even go to those Qinglou taverns, as if they were staying at home and autistic.

Palace.

Burning the Temple.

This is where the Burning Dynasty held its court meeting.

At this time, night fell, and the entire palace was silent, except for the Burning Heaven Palace, there was still a faint light.

Burning Yan still sat motionless on the throne at the time of the court meeting, his eyes slightly closed, and sat here in contemplation.

After a moment, Burning Yan's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at the door, and a rickety figure slowly walked in.

"Your Majesty!"

"How?"

"Lord Taiwei has no dissenting intentions. ”

"Hmm!"

Burning Yan seemed to suddenly relax, his face was no longer solemn, and then he said in a deep voice: "Old Kong, in a few days, you can transfer with me!"

Kong Xiu's face was indifferent, and he said calmly: "The old minister is already useless, so he won't cause trouble to His Majesty." ”

"Kong Lao?"

Yan Yan frowned and continued: "For all these years, Kong Lao has been doing things for me, and he is willing to endure the infamy of hundreds of officials, and I will not treat you badly. ”

Kong Xiu shook his head, a touch of sadness appeared on his face, and then said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the old minister's ancestors have lived in the Burning City for generations, and the Burning City is the home of the old minister, the old minister noticed a few days ago, I am afraid that the time limit is coming, so I can't serve Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to stay here and return to the roots!"

"It's... How is this possible?"

Yan Yan's face changed, and he was a little reluctant to believe it, and hurriedly said: "Kong Lao Xiuwei has already broken through the supernatural powers, and his lifespan has exceeded a thousand years, how can the limit be approaching? This is impossible!"

After speaking, he shook his head again, expressing disbelief.

Kong Xiu sighed, and then said in a low voice: "Thirty years ago, the old minister was seriously injured once, and he fell to the root of his illness, and he has not recovered yet. ”

Burning Silence!

He knew about this, thirty years ago, when Burning Flame was out on a cruise, he had been assassinated, and if Kong Xiu hadn't blocked a sword for him, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

Although Kong Xiu said that he was not in serious trouble afterwards, he did not expect that he still fell ill, and now he is dying!

Thinking of this, a trace of complexity flashed in Burning Yan's eyes.

Kong Xiu's loyalty was unquestionable, but since he blocked a sword for himself thirty years ago, his position has risen rapidly, and the ministers of the court and China have begun to think of him as a sycophant, but Kong Xiu has never refuted it.

He had the heart to rehabilitate him, but he was stopped by Kong Xiu, he said that in any country, the court cannot only have loyal ministers, and sometimes traitors must exist, because there are some things that only traitors can do.

Therefore, Kong Xiu's became a traitor, silently dealing with some things for Yan Yan that he was not suitable for.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, Yan Yan glanced at Kong Xiu again, and said softly: "Old Kong, your Kong family can choose three descendants to accompany me, and I will definitely treat them as my own!"

When Kong Xiu heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Hmm!"

Burning Yan nodded, it's not that he doesn't want to bring more, but the more people there are, the greater the danger, besides, there are quite a few people in their royal family, and Burning Yan himself didn't bring all of them, so how could he bring others.

The reason why he is willing to take Kong Xiu's sister-in-law is also because Kong Xiu is his confidant, and he can't do some things in person in the future, he definitely needs to bring some helpers, and the Kong family is a good choice.

The next day, a message came out from the palace that the burning city was closed, and it was not allowed to enter or leave.

No one is allowed to leave or enter, and unless he has a warrant from the imperial court, he is considered treason.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Burning City began to be in chaos.

Before, all the ministers closed their homes, and even some ministers left the burning city overnight, which did not hide from the people in the city.

Plus as soon as this ban comes out, no matter how stupid people are, they know that something is wrong.

So a large number of people began to march, wanting the court to give an explanation.

However, the imperial court directly ordered the city guards and the Praetorian Guards to dispatch and start inspecting the burning city, as long as they dared to make trouble, they would all be taken away, regardless of life or death, which made the city quieter.

But even so, there are invisible undercurrents surging.

Among them, those wealthy businessmen also began to keep going to the relationship, hoping to get the warrant of the imperial court and leave the burning city, but the warrant of the imperial court was personally controlled by Burning Yan, and there were very few people who obtained it.

Song House.

Early in the morning, a large number of people gathered at Song Chen's door, some were businessmen from the rich side, some were famous heroes, and some were retired ministers.

These people gathered at the gate of the Song Mansion with only one purpose, that is, they hoped that Song Chen could get them a warrant and let them out of the city.

As for why the city was blocked, they didn't want to know about it, and they didn't dare to know about it, but if they knew, they might not be able to do without it.

"Master, there are a lot of people standing outside, all asking to see the master, and the little ones are almost unstoppable. ”

In the backyard, Song Chen was quietly sipping tea, and a little guy ran over with an anxious face.

"Don't pay attention to it, these people haven't had the courage to break into my Taiwei Mansion, and the Praetorian Guards will come later, you don't have to worry!"

Song Chen didn't raise his head, and replied lightly.

When the little guy heard this, he stopped talking a little, and then said, "Master, this... Why the hell is this? Why is the city locked down?"

Song Chen glanced at the little guy and said calmly: "You shouldn't take care of these things, you just need to know, follow the master and me, and you won't suffer, and the rest, don't pay attention to it!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the little guy left, Song Cheng lay on the rattan chair, looking at the sky in the distance, his eyes were deep, and he muttered: "It's coming, it's almost there." ”

......

Three thousand miles east of the Burning Dynasty, an endless army was quietly encamped here.

"General, three thousand miles to the west is the capital of the Burning Dynasty, it only takes three days, we can arrive!"

In the tent of the barracks, a young general spoke.

"Yes, general, how do we choose now, whether to wait or attack?"

Li Jing sat on the top, frowning and silent, thinking.

Since their Shenwu Legion destroyed the Burning Sky Legion, the Snake Legion, and the Third Legion, they have been pushing all the way, and they have not recovered those cities, but have directly followed a straight line and directly rushed to the Burning City.

After a month-long march, they finally came to a place only three thousand miles away from the burning city.

Three thousand miles is still within the shroud range of the Burning City, so as long as the other party is not stupid at this time, they must have been discovered, but the other party has not made any moves now, which makes Li Jing a little suspicious.

Even if the ancestor of the Lieyan Dynasty dies in battle, the other party will not be so negative, and he doesn't even want to deal with it?

Therefore, Li Jing asked the army of the Shenwu Legion to be repaired again.

One is to probe the information of the Burning City, and the other is to wait for other legions.

He had already passed the other three legions, and after letting them destroy the corresponding enemies, they went directly to the Burning City.

At that time, their four major legions will directly besiege the Burning City, and at that time, even if the Burning Dynasty wants to escape, there will be nowhere to escape.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the account: "General, General Qin Qiong is back." ”

"Qin Qiong is back?"

When Li Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, Qin Qiong was sent by him to find out the information of the Burning City, and now that he is back, I believe he should have obtained a lot of information.

A moment later, Qin Qiong walked in.

"The last general, Qin Qiong, has seen the general. ”

"General Qin doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what the general gained by going to inquire about intelligence this time?"

Qin Qiong nodded, and then his face was slightly gloomy, and he said with a straight face: "General, the last general was ordered to go to find out the news of the burning city this time, so the means are more intense, and under the torture of the last general, there is indeed a problem in the burning city." ”

After speaking, he said solemnly: "The Burning City was built when the Burning Dynasty was founded, and it was just a relatively ordinary city at that time, but 10,000 years ago, there was a Ming Monarch in the Burning Dynasty, although the Ming Monarch was not high, but he had a wide range of contacts. ”

"I heard that when that Ming Jun was young, he traveled to the Eastern Regions and met a lot of young talents, although he was not the son of a big force, but together, it was not comparable to ordinary forces, and that Ming Jun, after the end of his travels, returned to the Burning Dynasty and ascended the throne. ”

After he ascended the throne, he made all the friends he had made in the Eastern Regions honorary marquis, and then he also tried his best to invite those people to come to the Burning Dynasty as guests, and those young children also gladly accepted, after the banquet, the Ming Jun asked those young people to build a set of protective arrays for them to burn the city. ”

"And those young people are very good-looking, after receiving the benefits of the Burning Dynasty, they can only stay to help build the Burning City, although these people's cultivation is not very high, but they can't stand the people behind them, with the help of the elders of one of their friends, the Burning Dynasty spent a huge price, and finally completed the battle to protect the city. ”

"This large array is integrated in attack and defense, and every time it is opened, there is a one-month cooldown, but after it is opened, it can also last for a month, and the defense of the large array is also extremely powerful, which can resist ordinary attacks that break the void, and the attack power has also reached the strength of the supernatural realm. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong said solemnly again: "So, if we want to break through the Burning City, we must find a way to solve this big array, otherwise even if we attack it, we will suffer heavy casualties!"

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, the rest of the people's faces suddenly sank, and their faces were a little unsightly, and even Li Jing's brows were deeply wrinkled.

For a moment, there was silence in the big tent!
