As the sun rises, the dragon flag on the flag-bearer's mainmast is lowered in half, and a white flag representing the state mourning is hung.

The soldiers were dressed in white linen clothes, and sobbing sounded from time to time.

Liu Qi can be regarded as a promising king, he has been extremely diligent for decades, has managed the country in an orderly manner, and promulgated a number of policies that benefit the country and the people, so that the national strength of the Han Dynasty has risen in a short period of time, and the old enemy Daqin has been thrown away far away, and it has a clear advantage in terms of economy and military strength.

Now that he's dead, everyone is grieving.

Ye Yunyang helped Liu Yuying, who looked indifferent, out of the cabin, Dongfang Yixue and Ying Qi followed, Dai Jingwei waited on the back deck, and he personally checked the situation of the flying wings to ensure that the next flight process was foolproof.

"King Pingnan, is Princess Yuying okay?" Dai Jingwei asked with concern.

"It's just too grief-stricken, it's okay. Ye Yunyang said, and then explained: "The fleet will be handed over to General Dai, and when I finish dealing with the affairs of the imperial capital, I will come back and lead everyone to continue to move forward." ”

Dai Jingwei hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely ensure the safety of the fleet and wait for you to come back!"

The crowd boarded the wings and then took off and headed straight north.

When the flying wings disappeared into the air, Dai Jingwei's face became as heavy as water, and he said to the lieutenant general beside him: "How could Your Majesty die in the hands of the second generation of orcs, those things, if they weren't in the sea, I would have to break them into pieces." ”

The lieutenant said in a deep voice: "That's right, I'm the same." ”

There was nothing to say all the way, and the fleet did not make any stops after entering the mainland, but continued to fly to the imperial capital.

The flying wing at the front was piloted by Ye Yunyang, and it had been more than ten hours now, and Ying Qi, who was sitting on the side, said, "Let me come, you can rest for a while." ”

"I'm not tired. He shook his head.

As a Saint Dao Realm martial artist, flying for more than ten hours was indeed nothing.

But Ying Qi could think that the death of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty caused a lot of psychological trauma to everyone, and everyone was immersed in grief, and it was exhausting to bear the grief, which was far heavier than the burden of bearing other pressures.

Along the way, Ye Yunyang used the fastest speed, wanting to reach the imperial capital earlier.

On the streets of the imperial capital, there were no smiles on the faces of pedestrians, white cloth strips were tied on their heads, and the shops on the street also spontaneously hung their flags, and the atmosphere of grief filled the whole city.

The palace still has the mess left after last night's battle.

According to statistics, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army were killed in battle, and countless eunuchs, palace maids and harem concubines were counted, and only the crown prince and princess and a few people survived.

Wu Qinglin led the masters of the Fenglin faction, and a group of people led by He Xuanyuan and Huo Hong of the Holy Temple faction to garrison the palace and deal with the aftermath for the emperor.

Prince Liu Rong's eyes were bloodshot, he was able to successfully break through last night, it was actually a thrilling process, if it wasn't for the protection of the accompanying soldiers, he would not have escaped death.

In the past, he also handled government affairs alone, but with his father Liu Qi in charge, he could ask questions when he didn't understand, but now no one can help him, and everything has to be decided by himself.

If it weren't for the strong perseverance, he might have fallen.

He reminded himself over and over again in his heart that his father had fallen, and I must not fall.

When it was close to midnight, Ye Yunyang led the fleet to the imperial capital, and under the guidance of the firelight, landed in an open space in the palace.

As far as the eye can see, everything is a mess.

Although Ye Yunyang was ready, when he saw this scene, he still felt desolate.

Wu Qinglin personally came over to greet him and said, "Little junior brother, you are back." ”

Ye Yunyang nodded and asked, "Where is His Majesty's body placed, we are going to see him for the last time." ”

Wu Qinglin replied: "In the Taiji Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the remnants of the royal family are keeping a vigil together, everyone, please." ”

The Taiji Hall was surrounded by the sound of sorrow, and hundreds of members of the royal family knelt in front of the coffin, some wailing and crying, and some sobbing in low voices.

The reason why they are alive is because the royal family has a clear rule that all princes and grandchildren who have reached the age of fourteen must move out of the palace and give them a mansion to live alone.

It was the imperial palace that was attacked last night, and after killing the emperor, the second-generation orcs quickly dispersed and disappeared without a trace through the night, and the mansions of others were not attacked.

The crown prince Liu Rong wore linen and filial piety, kneeling at the front.

The eunuch shouted in a deep tone: "King Pingnan, Lord Yuying has arrived!"

The prince turned around, first saw Ye Yunyang, and then Liu Yuying, who rushed towards the coffin like the wind.

Looking at the imperial grandfather surrounded by flowers, Liu Yu couldn't cry.

Ye Yunyang walked over quickly, saluted the coffin, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yunyang is late!"

He couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces before, when he saw the emperor for the first time, he made a big fuss, he didn't figure out what direction the emperor was sitting in, and he actually saluted in the opposite position, which provoked the emperor and the crown prince couldn't help laughing.

Later, he became a frequent visitor to the palace, and launched a "battle of wits and courage" with the emperor's father and son.

Later, because the relationship with Ye Feng was exposed, he had to choose to escape from the Han Dynasty, and took away the emperor's favorite granddaughter Liu Yuying, if he was someone else, he would definitely die, but Liu Qi not only forgave his sins, but also generously married his granddaughter to him.

It was also because of his relationship that the Great Han and his old enemy, the Ghostface Legion, gave up their old suspicions and formed an alliance to fight against the orcs together.

It can be said that Emperor Liu Qi has a very important understanding of Ye Yunyang, if it weren't for the emperor's appreciation, he would be a cultivation wizard at most now, and it would be impossible for him to achieve other achievements.

He straightened up and asked, "Your Highness the Prince, what happened?"

The prince wanted to speak and stopped, but Wu Qinglin whispered beside him: "Everyone, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the side hall." ”

Ye Yunyang nodded, and turned to look at Liu Yuying.

Liu Yuying had already cried into tears, and Dongfang Yixue said: "I will stay here with Yingying, you can go with confidence." ”

When he came to the side hall, the prince's face was pale, as if he had been drained of strength, and he blamed himself: "I shouldn't have left my father and left alone, if I didn't leave, maybe my father wouldn't have died." ”

"Wrong, if you don't leave, Your Majesty will not die alone, the Han will not only lose a promising monarch, but also lose an excellent prince. He Xuanyuan opened his mouth and said, "Prince, it turns out that even if you leave is the right choice, otherwise the royal family will suffer a catastrophe." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan added: "Yun Yang, the situation was urgent at that time, His Majesty asked the prince to break through, and although the prince was 10,000 unwilling, he still obeyed the emperor's order. After he successfully broke through, he got in touch with hundreds of masters outside, led the crowd to re-attack the palace, and came to the imperial study to rescue the driver, but ...... It's too late!"

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows, and Zheng Zhiyuan continued: "The enemy's strength is five times that of the Imperial Forest Army, and they launched a surprise attack, and the soldiers were unprepared, resulting in a rout, and they couldn't stop the enemy's progress at all. ”

"Don't talk about the process, how did Your Majesty die?" Ye Yunyang asked in a deep voice.

He Xuanyuan replied, "Dozens of Yaokong Realm orcs rushed into the imperial study, and His Majesty's two personal guards only had one face to face with each other, and they both died in battle. ”

Although the personal guards have the level of a martial artist in the Holy Dao Realm, they are facing dozens of fierce enemies at the same time, and they are difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, and the result can be imagined.

This is the last barrier around the emperor, after the death of the two, Liu Qi sat on the dragon chair with an indifferent expression, and rebuked the enemy with righteous words, saying that their conspiracy would not succeed, and the human race would inevitably defeat them.

The orc led by him raised his long sword, Liu Qi did not resist, did not show fear, and was stabbed into the chest by a sword.

After the victory, the enemy left the study and left with his companions outside.

When Wu Qinglin and He Xuanyuan rushed into the imperial study, the emperor had been dead for a long time.

"What about the enemy, how many are caught?" he asked again.

Wu Qinglin blushed a little and said: "At that time, the palace was in chaos, and all the soldiers and horses were rushing towards this side, causing the defenders on the city gate and city walls to be empty, and the enemy took advantage of the chaos to retreat, and by the time we came back to our senses, they had already fled." ”

Ye Yunyang glared and said angrily: "Didn't you catch any of them?"

"A few were arrested, but after interrogation, they were all nobodies, they only knew how to act with the team, they did not participate in the command, and they knew very little about the details. Wu Qinglin replied.

The prince spoke: "I am to blame for this matter, I failed to stabilize my position in time, but I have already ordered that all the surrounding states, prefectures, and counties strictly investigate, and all suspicious people will be arrested." ”

Ye Yunyang sighed, until now, he didn't want to believe that something so serious had happened, even the emperor was dead, you can imagine how complicated the situation was last night.

"Yun Yang, there is one thing that the master does not vomit and is unhappy, although this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty's assassination. He Xuanyuan said: "The palace was attacked, and only one place remained unscathed. ”

Ye Yunyang frowned and asked, "Where?"

"Meho's accommodation. He Xuanyuan said: "It's very strange, only her dormitory has not been attacked, you must know that although the main target of the enemy is the imperial study, but in addition to that team of masters, the remaining tens of thousands of people have adopted an aimless attack method, as long as there are people, they have not let any go." ”

Ye Yunyang guessed: "Is it because they are afraid of the Protoss, so they don't dare to go to Meihe's side to make a mistake." ”

Wu Qinglin shook his head and said: "No! If you are afraid of Mei He, at least you have to understand her strength first, I let Duanmu Yu come, and he came to the conclusion that no one went to her dormitory from beginning to end, and none of the surrounding palaces were spared." ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Yunyang's face sank like water.

He Xuanyuan said: "We are only guessing that the enemy has not committed any crime against Mei He Gong Qiu, and Mei He has turned a blind eye to their burning and killing behavior, and the combination of these two situations is very suspicious." ”

Ye Yunyang pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll go find Mei He, she'd better give a reasonable explanation, otherwise this matter won't be over." ”

Everyone became nervous at the same time, Meihe's woman is not easy to mess with, is it appropriate for Xingshi to ask guilt?
