Chapter 14: The Traitor in the Night
"When are you going to do it?" someone asked from behind a wall.
"When the gentleman arrived. Another said in the corner of the wall.
The breeze ruffled a few loose tufts of hair on his forehead, and his body was lower and lower, but the weeds grew to cover the last of his spine.
You can also vaguely see a person crouching on the edge of the wall, his night clothes letting him blend into some of the darkness, and the kerosene lamps on the street not far away are bright and flickering, and the papier-mâché lanterns seem to be broken by a gust of wind, which is very fragile.
The man on the watch was still singing a cappella ballad, reminding the people to sleep peacefully, he was not wearing shoes, his clothes were old, and he walked with a wide open and closed road, like a rough man in the countryside, but the songs he sang were calm and atmospheric, quite charming.
He walked forward step by step, and the kerosene lamp in his hand seemed to illuminate more areas one by one.
That's a good idea.
Its light shone on the bodies of the two men in the grass, and the watchman saw their faces.
When the two people in ambush were about to deal with it, there was a little more fear in their hearts, and the flames in the kerosene lamps rolled in from the scurrying room, like two golden fire dragons entwining and burning the two of them through, leaving two ashes behind.
"The grass here is getting better and better. The watchman touched the lantern and said softly.
He stood where he was, staring at the Imperial Capital City silently, he knew that tonight was going to be very troublesome.
So he lifted the lamp, he looked at the wick in the lantern, the light of the fire flickered on his face, and finally he sighed heavily, and walked like the imperial capital.
......
Tonight the wind grew a little stronger, and it blew on the faces of those who were lying down in the trees, silent on the street corners, and looking out of the windows of the inn.
"It's already midnight, why is there no movement in the city?"
This is the question that everyone wants to ask, Taiyan Daoist is meditating in the inn, he is not resting, he is using his heavenly oracle to sense the movement outside the city.
During this period, he discovered at least five Taixu, which made his heart quietly calm down.
Then he sensed a powerful being, and that perception was instantly erased, so he was instantly awakened.
The watchman was frowning, he was holding a sparrow in his hand, the sparrow had deep red eyes, and there were two Taiji Yin Yang Fish in each of his eyes.
He crushed the bird and continued to walk towards the Imperial Capital with the lantern.
Ye Luodao was not idle, he had been lurking outside the city, he knew that if it was really locked up and worshiped the sky, the ruins that entered should be dead.
That kind of killing array, Taixu is powerless to resist, although it has been a long time, it is estimated that he has the strength to deal with Taixu by seven or eight points, which is enough.
You can't take that risk.
In the imperial capital, the oracle of the human emperor has been released, but no thunder has fallen, and the dark night has become the biggest cover for the dark clouds, so he can see the entire imperial capital clearly.
Two people appeared in the main hall of the vigil, the new prime minister, Xuanyuan Sima, and the man who came from the vigil and drank hundreds of officials that day.
"Xuanyuan Sima, have all the people who entered the city been dealt with?" the Human Emperor asked.
Xuanyuan Sima looked a little thin, and he was not wearing the black dragon robe of the past today, and he was not wearing the face of the emperor today.
It's a scholar dressed up, and it's very delicate between the eyebrows and eyes.
Compared with the six imperial guards behind the Human Emperor, it makes people feel inexplicably shabby.
He bowed to the human emperor, without losing his cultivation charm.
"Three people were left behind, and the rest have been sent to prison. He said it very calmly.
The Human Emperor nodded slightly.
"Hongcheng, has the Star Pavilion expressed its position?" the Human Emperor asked the other man again.
"Stargazing Pavilion...... We do not plan to assist this time. ”
Bang!
The corner of the Emperor's table was shattered, and some of the crumbs rolled to their feet, but they didn't care at all, they took it for granted.
It's a pity that the sparrows outside the palace don't care about these things, they just want to find some bugs to fill their stomachs, and they call twice from time to time.
Like the people outside the city?
......
"Emperor Arena, you still dare to mention Emperor Arena, don't die!" An old eunuch in the city was teaching the little eunuch a lesson, and he buried his head in shame.
But the little eunuch was still not convinced, he raised his head and shouted: "If you don't delay the construction period, it's not that you want to punish the nine clans!"
"Now that these orders from the imperial capital have come down, the world has begun to be chaotic, and the human emperor has sealed the city! I don't know what His Majesty wants to do, but I know that now the emperor is in the arena to elect a new emperor, and that is purely a death!" The old eunuch was furious.
After asking someone to drive the little eunuch out, he paced back and forth in the courtyard vigorously, and he was actually thinking about this problem.
Is the Emperor Arena going to open now?
The time for the restriction under the order of the Emperor of the People has arrived, and the anger of the Emperor of the People will be greeted when it is opened, and if it is not opened, the construction period will be delayed!
The Son of Heaven was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed!
This order given by the Emperor of the People is a dead end, just a few words, gently tying the lives of hundreds of people!
The old eunuch fell to the ground and sighed.
The same atmosphere is also heavy in the Stargazing Pavilion, the lively scene in the past is gone, and the old pavilion owner refused the request of the human emperor.
Although I don't know what the purpose of the Human Emperor is, judging from the attitude of the old pavilion master who smashes the table and lifts the chair, the situation is very unclear.
God knows what will happen, even the night vigil clan training has been changed, the king of the prime minister has changed, even the four departments have been abolished, and the ninth generation is undoubtedly the craziest one in the past!
The stargazing pavilion must also be withdrawn, which is also the reason why the entire attic is lifeless.
The Ministry of Rites sacrificed Mao Feng and finally found a safe place. But he couldn't sleep well, and at night he hurriedly wrote to Guo Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Households, Wang Chang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yu Feng, the minister of the Ministry of Crime, and he sent his opinions to Guo Qi, as the last think tank to resist, only he talked to him, after all, he was a literati.
What I didn't expect was that the two important ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Criminal Department took the lead in replying to the letter, with the same meaning, to the effect that most of the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs had been arrested by the people sent by the Emperor, and the rest of the people did not want to live a life of escape, and would surrender to the Emperor after dawn.
Mao Feng looked at the handwriting on the letter, his eyes were gloomy, and his heart was full of anger, but he was a literati, as a former ritual sacrifice, he couldn't even kill chickens, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the sour Xiucai who has no power to restrain chickens!
He put down the letter, walked to the window, looked at the dark clouds that seemed to be rolling in the sky, and muttered to himself.
"You're Mingjun?"
"Or is it a faint king?"
