Section 639 - Siege of the Imperial Capital

Whether it is the Heavenly Palace, or the Five Palaces and Seven Sects, there is still no understanding of the secret arrangement of the Heavenly Cult in the Kyoto Tianjing of the Dawu Dynasty.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the former for a short time after arranging the investigation eyeliner, most of which are still based on the old foundation of the Royal Secret Division, while the latter has a high eye and does not bother to set his sights on the market at all, causing the Heavenly Cult, which is closely connected with the masses, to take advantage of it.

Now if you want to make amends, I'm afraid it's too late, but thankfully, Li Xiaobai has cultivated a letter bee, which can instantly transmit messages thousands of miles away, and the people holding the letter bee box are all careful, obviously realizing that the little bee in the box has an incomparably huge value.

The Secret Bureau and the Royal Secret Department used all their forces in Tianjing, and the spies did not hesitate to reveal their identities, poured out of the nest, openly investigated and secretly visited, and traveled all over the imperial capital, and the imperial court's cavalry even rushed twenty miles outside the city to investigate and search farther away.

The Imperial Capital Protector Array, which has been perfecting, is ready to be activated at any time, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who got the news gathered in the Taiji Palace, fortunately, their hearts have been tested for a long time, and they have become tough, and the short-term noise was quickly suppressed by the power of the empress, and the whole hall was anxiously waiting for the news from all directions.

Although there was no poster in Tianjing City, the officials had official roads, the people had their own sources, and the small people in the market always had their own sources, and they gradually noticed the tense atmosphere in the city as if they were facing a great enemy.

More than a dozen nearby towns directly posted evacuation notices, but as the most prosperous city in the eastern soil, it was not easy for the imperial court of the Dawu Dynasty to evacuate the millions of people in the imperial capital Tianjing City.

All kinds of gossip news from the people, roadside news everywhere, the water and land passages of the city gates were in a mess first, people outside the city wanted to come in, people inside the city wanted to go out, and the limited amount of access to the city gate soon became overwhelming, and the blocked water could not be drained.

As a last resort, the city gate in and out of the imperial capital is restricted to one direction, and only entry or exit is allowed, which slightly alleviates the congestion, but still has a great impact on the daily life of the imperial capital.

For the sake of safety, the commander of the Royal Secret Department even proposed that the empress take the ministers of the court and the central government to hide outside the city for a while, and then come back after the crisis.

However, in order to reassure the court, the people in Tianjing City have the backbone and can evacuate in an orderly manner, Empress Xiangjun immediately refused, and even walked on the walls of the imperial city from time to time, so as to teach the people of the Mancheng Empire to know that their emperor is with him, even if it is a vicious enemy, he will face it together.

The effect of this move was immediate, seeing that Her Majesty the Empress was still in the city, the panicked people in the city quickly settled down a lot, coupled with the ruthless killing of those guys who took the opportunity to spread rumors and do evil, which made some people remember that Her Majesty the Empress once stepped on the throne with blood and human heads rolling all over the ground, and the street snacks that secretly contributed to the trouble quickly disappeared most of them, and the market calmed down again, only those guys who did not open their eyes were still running to the death in front of the butcher's knife of the Royal Secret Division。

In order to discover the clues of the Heavenly Cult as soon as possible, almost every half hour, the Secret Bureau and the Royal Secret Information Department, which temporarily and unconditionally shared information, had to report the latest progress to Empress Xiangjun and Li Xiaobai, who were rushing to Tianjing, at the same time.

The words left by the Heavenly Cult Leader before he left were not intimidation, and the most worrying thing happened.

A large number of strange evil beasts appeared in the Jinshui River fifty miles west of the imperial capital Tianjing, tens of thousands of evil beasts appeared inexplicably in the depths of the Lingshan Mountains in the southwest, and in the hilly areas of the north, there were inexplicable pits, and many evil beasts broke out of the ground, no one thought that these evil beasts could hide motionless underground, and it seemed that it was not a day or two.

Immediately after the thirty-six Dao of the Great Wu Dynasty, there were evil beasts appearing, as soon as they appeared, they did not hesitate to come to Tianjing, three or five groups gathered more and more, there were government officials and government soldiers tried to encircle and suppress, the result was heavy casualties, there was no blocking ability at all, some people in the magic path also participated in the blocking, but the number of enemies was too large, after all, it still had little effect.

Even in the northwest, there were evil beasts in the Fengxuan Kingdom and the northern Huangxu Kingdom, and in the farthest Fusang Island Country, there were thousands of evil beasts rushing into the sea, trying to swim westward.

For a while, the world was in a panic, and the Heavenly Cult really took out all of its family wealth this time.

The bad news came one after another, when the evil beasts gathered more and more, and began to spread all over the mountains, many human towns began to suffer inevitably, and everywhere they passed, there were no people and animals, all of them went into the belly of hungry evil beasts, and even a small demon domain with a radius of a hundred miles was not spared.

The Heavenly Palace, located in Langya, was dispatched urgently, sending more than 300 warlocks from the Spirit Attraction Realm and the First Awareness Realm, and more than 1,000 warriors from the Qi Gathering Realm and the Forging Body Realm, the youngest was only eleven years old, and the oldest was more than 50 years old.

This is the only strength of the Heavenly Palace, because Li Xiaobai, who is far away, has an order to mobilize them all.

Due to the fact that the main forces of the Shudao sect are in Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, which is thousands of miles away, there is a lack of people in charge to take ideas, and they have always guarded the Heavenly Palace from the bottom of their bones, so they shirked for various reasons, ignored the convening letters that came over, and ignored them.

Although it fell into passivity, but with the first country in the east and the foundation of the first power, the Great Wu Dynasty began to run at full speed like a huge and sophisticated machine.

When the snowy Condor Snow Lady sitting in Tianjing brought the news that the area around Gyeonggi had been surrounded by evil beasts, and the number of evil beasts was thousands, most of the guards in Tianjing City went out of the city en masse, and transferred the residents of the towns and villages who had not fallen into the invasion and siege of evil beasts to the imperial capital, and at the same time collected all the grain and grass and other materials as much as possible and transported them to the imperial capital to deal with the coming crisis.

However, this is not an easy task.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, there are still many lucky people, and even some people hide privately to prevent the guards from finding them, coupled with the reluctance of all kinds of altars and jars, the transfer work is very slow, and every day there are people who cannot escape and die in the mouth of evil beasts.

Until there were more and more people fleeing, many people who were unimpressed and lucky finally began to notice that something was wrong, and without the urging of the imperial capital guards, they automatically fled to the imperial capital with soft food and all the things they could bring.

There are fewer and fewer people going out of the city, and more and more people entering the city, Tianjing, which was originally the largest city in the world at that time, immediately became overcrowded with the influx of hundreds of people, and even the small alleys that are usually inaccessible are crowded with people from near Tianjing.

It is not easy to sympathize with the people, the empress decreed, the dignitaries have contributed their own industries, stabilized prices, and all the houses are open to the people who pour into the city as much as possible, so as to avoid them falling into the dilemma of sleeping in the open air, and the people are not only ready-made houses, but also temporary tents and shacks.

Even if necessary, the Imperial City is ready to open up, providing shelter from the wind and rain as much as possible.

The grain merchants did not dare to take the opportunity to raise the price, because there were ten soldiers standing in front of each store, and the granary was also forcibly managed.

Her Majesty the Empress is enough to teach anyone who dares to oppose the court to reincarnate the whole family.

The hordes of evil beasts that came from all directions seemed to be just trying to drive the population to the imperial capital, Tianjing, and when an impenetrable encirclement was formed, the speed of the advance became unhurried, giving many people precious time to flee to the imperial capital.

On the morning of the second day, the first Shudao reinforcements who suddenly returned from overseas arrived at the imperial capital Tianjing, and unexpectedly, instead of assisting Tianjing in destroying those evil beasts, they inexplicably went to attack the Guigu Cliff outside the city.

Surrounded by the natural labyrinth forest, the Guigu Cliff used to be the location of the alien grass cultivation place and the alchemy room of the female Dan Master Yan Xiao, and now it is an important stronghold of the Heavenly Palace located outside the imperial capital.

The people of the Wild Goose Palace, who had returned to the Dongtu Continent from Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, rushed straight to the Ghost Valley Cliff under the leadership of the palace master Puluo Shenzun.

A spell blasted down, razing all the empty houses and destroying even the natural maze on the periphery.

It seemed that he was still a little puzzled, and the Puluo Divine Venerable drew out the ground fire under the original alchemy room, burning a piece of immortal resort into thick smoke.

"Hmph, without the mountain gate, see how your Heavenly Palace still stands. ”

The out-of-control earth fire completely destroyed this place where the aura gathered, and did not find the place where the machine boat was built and those original Momen disciples, Puluo Shenzun was quite regretful, maybe it was the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and it was not hidden here, but destroying the "old nest" of the Heavenly Palace could also recover some interest slightly.

Obviously, the palace master of this top sect of the Dao of Martial Arts regards the Guigu Cliff as the mountain gate of the Heavenly Palace, and it is already good for a newly established sect to have such a place.

Just after doing all this, and admiring his achievements, a huge figure swept over the sky above the head of the Progod Venerable, and the wind swept by, and the yin wind gusted.

I don't know when, the group of evil beasts surrounding Tianjing, the imperial capital of the Dawu Dynasty, suddenly split up and went straight to the Guigu Cliff, and the warlock of the Wild Goose Palace, who discovered this situation, exclaimed: "Those evil beasts have surrounded!"

"Quack!"

There was a piercing scream from the sky, and it was an unimaginably large giant bird, flapping two pairs of red giant wings, and it was hovering over the heads of the warlocks of the Wild Goose Palace with a power that covered the sky and the sun, casting a large shadow.

"What the hell is this?"

Puluo Shenzun frowned, he didn't see the slightest demonic aura on the other party, and there were many sword-mouthed flying bat evil beasts around his body, obviously one of the evil beasts, most of them were very powerful beast kings.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.
