Chapter 61: The Dark Tide is Surging
In the central area of the rain city, on the northwest side of the palace complex, there is a double-storey building with red walls and green tiles, which is magnificent, called the Rain God Temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The Rain Temple is the place where the Rain Emperor uses to deal with daily government affairs, and at this moment, a large number of officials are standing in the front hall, quietly discussing something. Emperor Yu sat on the throne, frowning slightly, his expression was a little serious, and his face was not as soft as before. Seeing that the people were almost there, Emperor Yu coughed lightly and stood up with his chair. At the same time, the hall fell silent, and everyone faced the Rain Emperor and bowed.
"I have invited you to come here today, and I think you have already heard of what you are doing. A few days ago, all the players in this escort team selection competition were secretly transferred, and I don't know who revealed the news, and it spread all over the city for a while, and the streets and alleys were discussing the matter. That's it, even the other three countries specially sent people to inquire, which really lost the face of my rain country. Later, Emperor Yu's voice also rose, and the ministers below all bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look at him.
"What's even more ridiculous is that I just sent someone from the escort team to rescue the players the day before, and today I told me that the cell where the referee involved was held was broken into by outsiders, and there was not even a single living mouth left inside. You say, 'Who is responsible for this?'
There was silence below, and everyone was speechless. Seeing that no one was willing to stand up, Emperor Yu patted the seat fiercely and said angrily: "Who is in charge of the escort team now?"
A burly middle-aged man with a sharp face walked out of the crowd and clasped his hands into fists: "During the departure of Hao Ming, the captain and deputy captain of the escort team, I will take charge of the affairs of the team on their behalf." ”
"Tell me, then, how this cell was broken into?"
"Returning to Lord Yudi, this morning, I went to the cell as usual to interrogate matters related to the trials. After a few days of torture to extract confessions, some people have relented, saying that this incident was a last resort because someone threatened them. But if you ask in more detail, you can't ask anything. When I came to the prison and found that the man guarding the door was missing, I thought something might be wrong. As a result, as soon as he entered the prison, there was a bloody breath in his face, which was disgusting. When I went inside, I saw corpses all over the ground, and the heads of the prisoners had been cut off, and even the members of the guard team who were originally in charge of guarding the cells were not spared. Speaking of which, Hao Ming seemed to recall the scene at that time, his stomach churned, and he vomited in public. When the people around heard his description, they also felt a tingling in their scalps. Emperor Yu frowned and asked Hao Ming to be taken down to rest.
"Prime Minister Li, what do you think about this matter?"
A white-haired old man left the queue, took a few steps forward, and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, the old man thinks that the actions of the black-clothed organization this time are extremely arrogant. First of all, they went to great lengths to arrange spies in the conference, and they moved all the contestants to dangerous places such as the Dark Ancient Forest, in a vain attempt to wipe them out. Now taking advantage of the lack of escort personnel, he launched a surprise attack and killed the referee involved in the prison. Although Haodong and Chen Min are not there, there are still more than 100 guards in the city, plus guards and soldiers of all sizes, who want to break into the prison and kill people without alarming others, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Therefore, Lao Yu is worried that the frequent appearance of the black-clothed organization this time is not just to cut off the fresh blood of the escort team. I am afraid that what they really want is ......"
"Oh no, no!" Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in my ears, and I saw a guard stumbling into the palace, where he shouted in panic.
"Bastard, how can you just come in here? Get out of here. Li Ming, the minister in charge of punishment, shouted angrily.
"Yes, something happened at the city gate!"
At the main gate of Yucheng, it was already a mess at the moment. As far as the eye could see, I saw dozens of men in black fighting with the guards guarding the city gate. There was the clink of swords in my ears, all kinds of lights intertwined, and the roar of explosions continued to sound on the field. Seeing this, the people also rushed for their lives.
Leading the way is a sturdy man with a black Shura mask on his face, an open-heaven axe in his hand, and a sun totem painted on his chest. His attacks were unusually fierce, and in the midst of this melee, he inflicted heavy losses on several of the guards, and for a moment he gave the Black-Clad Organization the upper hand. If you take off his mask, you will find that this person is the Tiger Roaring Sky who lured the contestant to the Dark Ancient Forest.
"Give it to me!" Tiger Roaring Heaven roared, turned and rode a Nine Shadows Tiger. This tiger legend was born in the extreme yin land on the northern edge of the Dark Continent, with wings on its back, brave and good at fighting, and is a high-level flying beast with very few productions. The Nine Nether Tiger roared angrily, then spread a pair of black wings and flew straight above the city wall, trying to bypass the main gate and enter Rain City directly. Seeing this, several guards hurriedly rose against the wind and tried to stop the tiger roaring in the sky. But before they could get close, they were pulled by the roar of the Nine Nether Tigers, and then thrown out like garbage. Seeing that Tiger Roar was about to enter the city, suddenly a white sword qi attacked from the front. He didn't have time to dodge, so he had to resist with the axe. A roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and the Nine Nether Tigers retreated hundreds of meters in succession, barely slowing down.
"You are really not small, and you dare to break through the gate of Rain City!" I saw a person riding a winged wolf, holding a cold ice sword, and glaring angrily at Tiger Roaring Sky. This person was none other than Hao Ming, who was the temporary captain, and he had witnessed the cruel methods of the black-clothed organization, and now his anger surged into his heart, and his mind was full of thoughts of avenging his brother. Before the tiger roared to his senses, he drove the winged wolf and rushed over with murderous energy. Tiger Xiaotian is not a vegetarian either, the cold light of the giant axe in his hand surges, it seems to be made of Nine Yin Xuaniron, and just looking at it makes people shiver. The swing of the axe brought a burst of wind-breaking sound, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the cold sword. Between the confrontations, the two were evenly matched, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while.
At this moment, the situation has also changed. Originally, the black-clothed organization had the advantage and was about to break through the city gate, but after Hao Ming received the task of Emperor Yu, he quickly led a group of guards to the scene, moved back the original disadvantage in one fell swoop, and even faintly gained the upper hand. In the face of a fierce opponent, the guards and the guards guarding the city are all out of the way, because behind them is the core of the rain country, if you let the enemy enter under your nose, you will really not be able to raise your head in the future. All of a sudden, the sound of fighting was incessant, and from time to time people fell in pools of blood, and even the city gate was stained red with blood.
In the palace complex, Emperor Yu is looking at the battle at the city gate through the observation deck, with a solemn face. The rest of the people were sent by her to assist the escort team, but Prime Minister Li Cheng still followed behind her.
"What do you think they are rushing for?" the Rain Emperor turned his head and asked lightly. Prime Minister Li didn't reply, but silently moved his gaze to the right. There, the black Rain Master Tower towered majestically, reaching into the sky.
Emperor Yu nodded and continued: "It seems that the prime minister is the same as I thought. It's just that in the past few hundred years, the black-clothed organization has not launched attacks, but they all started from the surrounding small villages and slowly spread in. This time, they smashed Huanglong, which can be said to be an internal and external enemy, and once they fail, they will be wiped out. Judging from past experience, this organization is meticulous and does not look like it would do such a risky thing. ”
Prime Minister Li pondered for a moment, and then said tentatively: "The old minister has an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"I suspect that the sudden radicalization of the Blackcoat may have something to do with the legendary king. As soon as the words came out, Emperor Yu's face was completely gloomy.
"Immediately notify the other three emperors, and immediately send people to support!"
In the sky hundreds of miles away, a black cloud was rushing towards Rain City.
