On this day, the south gate of Chaoyuan City was opened, and a large number of royal guards and officers and soldiers defending the city poured out of the nest and approached due south along the Grand Canyon.

Walking to the depths of the canyon, as expected, a large number of new dynasty troops appeared in the mountains on both sides, waving their flags and shouting: "Stop advancing!" Those who descend will not die! Take another half step, and you will die! A clarion call resounded in the sky.

But he heard someone in the marching procession give an order: "Advance in formation!" Protect the Holy One! ”

But see the depths of the canyon Imperial Dynasty officers and soldiers around a yellow dragon chariot lined up in the emperor's travel formation, the Yellow Luo umbrella cover opened, all kinds of flags, staff set up a display, there are the kings and nobles in front of the road, followed by the Praetorian Guard, civil and military officials and soldiers from all walks of life followed, mighty, stretching for several miles.

So there was a herald on both sides of the valley: "Release the arrows!" Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired at the team in the valley like raindrops. Suddenly, some of the soldiers did not have time to dodge the arrows and fell to the ground, while others raised their shields to protect their bodies, and the emperor was surrounded by Praetorian Guards to form a shield wall and continue to move forward.

At this time, another order arose on the mountain: "Release!" ”

Countless rolling wood and thunder stones fell from the cliff, and where could the human shield wall formed by the Praetorian Guards resist it, and in an instant, together with the emperor and others, they were smashed into piles of meat and mud.

The rest of the people saw that the emperor was killed and died, and the formation was immediately chaotic, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and most of them had no intention of fighting, so they raised the white flag and surrendered.

Seeing that the enemy had surrendered, the attack on the hill stopped, and calm was restored to the valley in an instant.

Soon, the news that the emperor of the dynasty died in the Grand Canyon spread all over the country, and Zhao Jiangxiang, the king of Beijun, cried loudly when he heard the news, and ordered all the soldiers to wear su and immediately attack the capital to avenge the emperor.

Liu Yizhou has almost become a habit to look at the sky every day, and he pays special attention to the northeast direction, which is the direction of the secluded mountain and Huangling.

Then he saw a black and oppressive dark cloud rising and stirring, like a monster with teeth and claws, overwhelming the sky.

Liu Yizhou couldn't help but be shocked, and just saw Wei Hongyan coming from outside the mansion gate, so he stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Look! Look! ”

Wei Hongyan didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Liu Yizhou pointed to the northeast sky in a panic.

Wei Hongyan saw that Liu Yizhou was pointing to the sky, and since he had experienced the last battle of the secluded mountain, he also had palpitations, so he followed the direction of Liu Yizhou's finger and looked at the northeast sky.

However, there were no other visions in the sky except for a few white clouds floating leisurely.

"Nothing, huh?" Wei Hongyan said.

Liu Yizhou rubbed his eyes, the blue sky was indeed business as usual, so he thought that he was too nervous these days, maybe he was hallucinating.

The two of them had already learned the news that Zhao Jiangxi, the emperor of the old dynasty, had died in battle, and they naturally felt very happy about the victory of the new dynasty's army in Jiangnan, and at the same time, they were very worried that Zhao Jiangxiang, the king of Beijun, was very likely to be angry and take revenge.

So the two of them went into the back hall to discuss, and without a few words, suddenly the sky darkened, as if night was coming, and the dull thunder rolled in from the distant horizon, and the wind was howling, and it was like a ghost crying wolf.

Liu Yizhou and Wei Hongyan looked at each other, knowing that the situation was not good.

The two pushed the door and looked at the sky, but saw a meteor like fire pass through the black sky like the bottom of a pot and fall to the ground, and a huge explosion suddenly came from the four city gates, and the fire smoke rose into the sky.

For a while, everyone in the palace was in chaos, only to see a figure stumbling in from outside the palace gate, it turned out to be the general Liu Fengda, I saw him go straight to Liu Yizhou and Wei Hongyan, and shouted in panic: "Oh no, the city gate has been burned by the thunder!" ”

Liu Yizhou said word by word when he heard the words: "The time has finally come." ”

Before the words fell, more meteors fell like a rain of blood, and the blood-red light cut through the black sky and the earth. The huge capital city suddenly burst into flames, smoke and dust, screams and cries, and the once prosperous and beautiful city instantly became a purgatory on earth.

Seeing this, the three of them all knew that it was the demon Dao casting spell again, Liu Fengda saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't resist it, so he shouted loudly: "Two princes, you can't stay here for a long time, let's withdraw!" ”

Wei Hongyan also said: "Go!" Walk! Walk! Pulling Liu Yizhou and running out, he dragged a few times but couldn't move, and said hurriedly: "What's wrong?" Brother Yizhou, don't go quickly, when will you wait? ”

Liu Yizhou looked up to the sky and sighed: "The emperor handed over the important task of guarding the capital to me, but unfortunately the capital was destroyed in one fell swoop, what face do I have to meet the saint." ”

Wei Hongyan said: "The demon road is miserable and inhumane, the demon magic is rotten, and the court is lost, what can I do?" ”

"I have made an oath in front of the emperor: I swear to live and die with the capital and live and die with the people. Today, they are all in trouble, how can they break their promises and leave! Hongyan and Fengda, you quickly lead the army to the south to break out of the encirclement, rendezvous with the saint as soon as possible, and avenge the shame of the people of the capital in the coming day! ”

"Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Liu Fengda persuaded.

"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to say it anymore. Hurry up and lead the brethren to break through! If there is any further delay, I will stop immediately! Liu Yizhou drew his sword and crossed his neck, and said resolutely.

Wei Hongyan and Liu Fengda saw that Liu Yizhou had made up their minds, and there was no hope of persuading them again, so they had to say, "Take care of the king of southern Hebei!" "Say goodbye with tears.

Wei Hongyan and Liu Fengda left the southern Hebei Palace, turned on their horses, and led their subordinates to rush towards the south city gate.

Along the way, the accompanying officers and soldiers shouted: "South Gate! Breakthrough! South Gate! Breakthrough! ”

Along the way, both the soldiers and the people heard about it and responded one after another, and gradually formed a torrent to rush out of the capital through the south city gate, break through the thunder and fire enemy formation, and go south.

Because Zhao Jiangxiang, the king of Beijun, was furious when he heard the news that the saint was killed, he ordered the protector of the country, Ruofeng Daochang, to use the lotus illusion to call the thunder and fire flowstone to attack the capital, and did not hesitate to destroy the city and die to mourn the emperor. Therefore, the negligence of the siege outside the city, especially on the side of the south city gate, did not mobilize heavy troops to deploy, and the officers and soldiers who followed Wei Hongyan to rush out of the south city gate and many people were finally able to escape.

Wei Hongyan stood on the high hill, looking at the northern capital from afar, which had already turned into a sea of fire, and couldn't help but sigh on his horse.

In the Chuyun Pavilion, where the palace of the new dynasty is located in Chaoyuan Town, Fang Shuyun learned the news that Liu Yizhou was martyred, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, and shed tears on his clothes. Hearing that Zhao Jiangxiang's army entered the city and slaughtered in order to win military merits, and in order to piece together the number of meritorious people, even ordinary people did not let go, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his eyes widened and his eyes were about to split.

He picked up Wei Hongyan, the king of Xishan Prefecture, who was prostrate on the ground and was grieving, and after asking the ins and outs of the loss of the capital again, he comforted Wei Hongyan and retreated to rest for the time being, and then turned his head to discuss with Prime Minister Xu Wenjun and said: "In this way, this lotus illusion technique of the Wind Demon Dao is indeed extraordinary, and it cannot be taken lightly!" ”

"In this way, this land of the northern county cannot be stormed." Xu Wenjun said.

"What should I do?" Fang Shuyun asked.

Xu Wenjun leaned closer to Fang Shuyun and whispered softly in his ear.

Fang Shuyun nodded again and again.
