Chapter 585: Bad News Comes
In the imperial study, the emperor Liu Qi and the crown prince Liu Rong stood up at the same time, the father and son were reviewing the folds, and when they heard the shouts outside, Liu Qi shouted, "What happened?"
The general of the Imperial Forest Army ran in in a panic, knelt down on one knee and said: "Tens of thousands of enemies are attacking at the same time, they have broken through the first palace wall and are coming towards the inner palace, the situation is extremely urgent, please Your Majesty and the crown prince leave this place quickly and avoid the edge for the time being." ”
"What, how did the enemy rush in, did the defense of the imperial capital actually relax to this extent, what did the Imperial Forest Army do?" said the emperor angrily.
The general looked aggrieved and said, "They did not attack from outside the city, but directly attacked the palace from inside the city." Because they couldn't get the information, the Royal Forest Army didn't make special arrangements, and they suddenly appeared, and they still had an absolute numerical advantage, and they couldn't stop it at all! Your Majesty, please take the overall situation as the priority and leave here quickly, otherwise, the enemy will quickly break through the other eight palace walls, and the inner palace is no longer safe. ”
At this time, someone outside shouted: "The enemy has broken through the second palace wall!"
The crown prince frowned: "Father, the enemy has appeared so strangely, and it has formed a momentum like a bamboo, let's avoid the edge for the time being." ”
Liu Qi's eyebrows widened: "No, I am the king of a country and the master of this imperial city, how can I be the first to flee when I am attacked, and I will be laughed at by the world!"
The prince was anxious: "But the situation is urgent, and there is no room for wasting time." ”
The general echoed: "Yes, as the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you and the prince are safe, you will definitely be able to lead the army and the people to defeat the enemy!"
Liu Qi looked up at the door and snorted: "I don't believe it, a group of rebellious ministers and thieves can break through the heavily guarded palace! ”
The crown prince looked disappointed, and it was clear that the emperor was not going to leave, but decided to stay and fight the enemy.
He was heartbroken and said, "Erchen will personally give orders!"
"No!" said the emperor with a look of kindness, "you lead your staff to leave immediately, and it is better to disguise yourself as an ordinary soldier of the Imperial Forest Army, and do not fall in love with war, just rush out." ”
"Huh?" the prince's eyes widened, this is to make me a deserter.
The emperor squeezed out a smile: "As the old saying goes, eggs can't be put in one basket, you and my father and son must have one person to retreat, I am the emperor, of course I have to sit in the palace." I firmly believe that the rebels can be defeated, and if we are defeated, with you, the Liu family still has hope of making a comeback. ”’
The crown prince's eyes were full of tears, and the emperor put away his smile and said: "Hurry up, don't forget to inform Yun Yang as soon as possible after getting out of danger, before going to Nanban Mansion City, he has been worried about the safety of the country, we are really a failure, or let what he is most worried about happen." Hurry up, you're not a kid anymore, you have to show the responsibility that a man should have!"
When it came to this, the crown prince Liu Rong could only do so, and said in a deep voice: "Father, take care, after the son is out of danger, he will lead the reinforcements back to help the war." ”
The emperor waved his hand: "Hurry up!"
The conversation between the father and son took only half a minute, and the third palace wall had been lost. There are nine palace walls in the palace, but only the first one is more than two zhang high and can stand on top of the defenders, and the rest are just a slightly higher wall, which does not play a very obvious defensive role.
Three blue flares exploded in the air at the same time, which was the emperor's signal to the subjects in the city, telling everyone that the palace was in danger and the ministers came to the rescue.
The patrol team and the city guards were the first to react, but the first to arrive at the palace were the martial arts masters of various yamen and sects, and Huo Hong, the high priest of the temple, was one of them.
The Holy Priest He Xuanyuan also came, and the nine gods that were conjured were invincible, and countless blacks fell to the ground and died.
Huo Hong stretched out his hand to clamp the neck of a black man, and suddenly saw a bull's face, he twisted his wrist, and the neck of the man in black was broken.
He Xuanyuan opened his mouth and asked: "How could so many masters suddenly gather in the capital, and appear here at the same time, why didn't we notice it." ”
"Master, I suspect that these are the so-called second-generation orcs. Huo Hong gave a brief description of the scene he had just seen.
"Is it really a second-generation orc?" He Xuanyuan ordered God to wound a black man and throw it over, and sure enough, he saw the appearance of a tiger man from that person's face.
It turned out that the second generation of orcs had been hiding among the human race, so they had never been suspicious, and it was precisely because of this that they were able to assemble in a short time and attack the palace with lightning speed.
Seeing that the orcs were about to break through the last palace wall, He Xuanyuan shouted: "It's not good, Your Majesty is in danger! Don't fight, quickly follow this seat to rescue Your Majesty!"
The position where they fought was the fifth layer of the palace wall in the east, and although they successfully trapped the black-clothed people here, the black-clothed people rushed into the inner palace from other directions, and they were still unstoppable.
The masters of the Fenglin faction, under the leadership of Wu Qinglin, launched an attack from the west, and by the time they came to the inner palace, it was already a mess.
He glanced up at the direction of the Imperial Study, which was also in critical condition, and according to the usual practice, the Emperor would go to the Imperial Study after dinner to review the recitals, which would also be the focus of the thieves' attacks.
"Listen, everyone, go to the imperial study with this seat, and ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor no matter what. Wu Qinglin rushed over first.
The inner palace, like the outer palace, was not spared.
There was only one exception, and that was the dormitory where Meho lived, and she sat in the main hall with a leisurely expression, wiping the gifts she received during the day with a silk handkerchief.
Dozens of palace maids hid at the base of the wall tremblingly, in stark contrast to her leisure.
She carefully wiped the dust off a giant blue diamond, raised her head and said in a disgusted tone: "I really don't know what you are afraid of, with me, who dares to come here to make a mistake? Don't forget, I am a guest of the Protoss, unless they think they have a long life, even if they lend them ten guts, they will not dare to break in." ”
Palace maids, you look at me, I look at you, and I still don't know the bottom in my heart.
But in fact, there are really no people in black who dare to come, you must know that there have been several groups of people in black passing by, and the surrounding palaces have not been spared, only here is unscathed.
Mayho continued to rub the rest of her jewelry, oblivious to what was happening outside.
Wu Qinglin and He Xuanyuan exchanged money in the imperial study, and He Xuanyuan asked, "Master of the Heavenly Kingdom, is Your Majesty okay?"
"I don't know, we just came here too. Wu Qinglin said.
Looking at the brightly lit imperial study, the two of them had a bad premonition in their hearts, and they waved their hands at the same time: "Come over and have a look!"
The study was a mess, the floor was littered with all kinds of twists and turns, and the air smelled of blood.
Wu Qinglin and He Xuanyuan rushed into the gate at the same time, and saw Emperor Liu Qi sitting on the dragon chair at a glance.
Before the two of them could breathe a sigh, they found that the emperor's expression was wrong, one face was extremely pale, and there was a black-armored general on each side of the dragon book case.
These two people are the emperor's personal guards, and they have the rank of martial artists of the Holy Dao Realm.
The guards are dead, but what about the emperor?
Wu Qinglin gasped and turned his head to look at He Xuanyuan.
He Xuanyuan was spitting and said, "Your Majesty has died!"
"Huh?" Wu Qinglin was surprised, although he had already thought of the worst outcome, but when he heard this result, he still felt unacceptable.
He Xuanyuan walked to the front of the dragon book case, and clearly saw that there was a blood hole in the emperor's chest, and the blood was no longer flowing out, indicating that he had been dead for at least five minutes.
The emperor was wearing a brown dragon robe, the blood stains were not obvious, and he sat on the dragon chair, which seemed to be alive at first glance.
Wu Qinglin's face showed a look of grief and roared: "Damn orcs! Damn second-generation orcs, they are so deeply hidden, even Your Majesty has suffered misfortunes...... What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
At this time, a shout of killing came from the east: "Father, the son has come back with a master group, you hold on for a while." ”
Wu Qinglin and He Xuanyuan glanced at each other, and their faces were the same helplessness and unwillingness.
......
In the South China Sea, the first rays of dawn shine on the flagship.
Ye Yunyang, who was dressed in single clothes, walked out of the cabin, came to the foredeck, and stood on the side of the ship looking at the deep sea below.
Dongfang Yixue came behind him, put on a coat for him, and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Can't sleep. He squeezed out a smile, he had insomnia last night, it took him a long time to fall asleep, and he woke up early in the morning.
"What are you worried about?" asked Dongfang Yixue.
"I don't know what I'm worried about, I just think something is going on, and it could be something bad," he said. ”
Dongfang Yixue put her arms around his waist and said with a smile: "Don't think so much, because nothing can stump us, and all difficulties will be resolved." ”
Airplanes!
The sound of flying wings volleying in the air sounded, and the two of them didn't need to look up at all to tell that it was a solo flying wing.
Ye Yunyang frowned, and the sound of flying wings appeared in the north, indicating that it was from Nanban Mansion City, and it was just dawn now, so it can be inferred that the flying wings took off in the middle of the night.
Taking off in the middle of the night, something must have happened.
As the wings approached, he saw the pilot wearing a white sackcloth over his armor and a linen turban of the same material on his head.
This is wearing linen and wearing filial piety, who died?
Dongfang Yixue is more familiar with the various etiquettes of the Han Dynasty than him, and this situation can only be ...... She didn't dare to think about it, but involuntarily grabbed Ye Yunyang's wrist.
The driver descended to a height of 100 meters and said in a sad and indignant voice: "His Royal Highness King Pingnan, Princess Yuying, Your Majesty has died!"
"What?" Ye Yunyang's eyes widened.
Dongfang Yixue's palms were full of sweat, and the thing she was most worried about still happened, just like she guessed.
Liu Yuying rushed out of the cabin, pointed to the flying wings and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, the imperial grandfather is fierce and fierce, how can he die, a few days ago he also sent a handwritten letter, saying that he is in good health! Do you dare to spread rumors at will, are you not afraid of being cut off by this princess?"
The driver said with a crying voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are lending 10,000 guts to the lowly position, and I don't dare to make such a joke!" At eleven o'clock last night, tens of thousands of second-generation orcs suddenly rushed into the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army was caught off guard...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince temporarily took charge of the government and ordered someone to send the news to the Nanban Mansion City, and General Yin ordered him to set off overnight to report the news. ”
Ye Yunyang took a step back, as if he had been drained of strength.
"You are talking nonsense, I don't believe it!" Liu Yuying was in a hurry, and fainted directly on her back, but fortunately, Dongfang Yixue reacted in time and held her up.
