Chapter 161
The rain in the night is ticking down, making a crisp sound.
Emperor Jing was lying in the palace of nourishing the heart, the candles were burning and emitting a dim light, he listened to the sound of the rain outside, and had a lot of thoughts for a while, he remembered his youthful spirits, remembered his hard work for the Great Jin, so many years, he no longer knows how many springs, autumns and summers he has spent, but there are very few cases of quietly listening to the rain outside like now, if he can do it again, he may not choose to ascend to this seemingly supreme throne, Instead, I will choose to be an ordinary ordinary person, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, spend my life well, and let myself experience the life of ordinary people.
It's a pity that all this can't be as he wishes, now he can clearly feel the passage of life in his body, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before he dies, thinking of this, Emperor Jing sighed slightly, and asked the chamberlain to take a blank edict, and after a short thought, he wrote his will on it.
Now that Zheng Yang is besieged, the matter of screening the prince has been shelved, so Emperor Jing has to plan for the worst, in case if he dies suddenly that day, this edict will be the only thing to stabilize the situation and prevent many royal families from fighting again over this.
He was now very weak, but he still insisted on writing the edict by himself, after writing the last word.
Emperor Jing let out a long sigh of relief, and then ordered, "Go and call the corpse of Chongyangzi." β
The chamberlain who was in charge of waiting for Emperor Jing knew that this was the emperor's edict, so he didn't dare to carry anything, so he immediately left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After the chamberlain left, Emperor Jing looked at the edict in his hand and sighed slightly, if there is no way to better solve the matter of the prince before his death, then this will be the last resort, although it is not satisfactory, but there is no other way.
Thinking of this, tears suddenly slipped through the corners of Emperor Jing's eyes, how good it would be if the crown prince was still alive, but unfortunately he didn't have time to investigate this matter clearly, and there was no way to avenge him, let alone find out the group of people who had scourged the Great Jin.
I only hope that the next emperor will not live up to his expectations and be able to shoulder the responsibility of governing the Great Jin.
The sound of rain outside the window was getting louder and louder, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and the extremely tired Emperor Jing slowly closed his eyes, he wanted to take a good rest, meet his courtiers in the best condition, and explain what happened after him with the majesty of the emperor.
..............

But what Emperor Jing didn't know was that there was a silent bloody storm in the current palace.
In the palace, a group of patrols formed by cultivators, braved the pouring rain to patrol the palace, even if the weather is bad, as the guardians of the palace, they will do their duty to maintain the safety of the palace, but what they don't know is that at this time in the palace, there is a group of teams that do not belong to them, also patrolling the imperial city, the identity of this group of people is the cultivators left behind after the fall of the Shangqing Sect, they are now controlled by Yingji, and have become the best daggers to seek power and usurp the throne.
This group of people pretended to be the guards of the imperial palace, wandering around the palace, quietly dealing with batch after batch of cultivators in the imperial city, their progress was very fast, and they would soon approach the Heart Cultivation Palace.
And the one in charge of patrolling outside the Heart Cultivation Hall was the commander surnamed Luo, and when he saw a group of very naΓ―ve people approaching here, he instantly put his subordinates on guard, and immediately asked: "Who is in front, all stand still!" β
This group of people did not say a word when they saw Commander Luo, nor did they follow his orders, but approached quickly, and at this moment, Commander Luo, of course, found the strangeness in it, and immediately ordered: "All men are on alert, and all the people attacking from the front will be treated as assassins!" β
When Commander Luo said this, the remnants of the Shangqing Sect on the opposite side finally stopped hiding, and they all pulled out the swords on their waists. For a while, the shouting of killing sounded in the imperial city! The two sides each used the Xuanjun magic method to fight for their lives, the strong spirit yuan surged around, and the battle fell into a state of stalemate in an instant, these remnants of the Shangqing Sect are all the elders of the Taishang Sect, and the flames selected for the Shangqing Sect are counting on them to be able to re-establish the Shangqing Sect, so the strength of these people is not weak, not to mention that they also have a lot of magic weapons and talismans that the Shangqing Sect has scavenged from other sects, compared with these cultivators in the imperial city, they actually faintly have the upper hand in the battle!
Commander Luo, who was fighting bloodily, had already sensed the terrifying strength of these people during the battle, and he was surprised in his heart, he was very surprised, why there were so many powerful cultivators pouring into the imperial city, you must know that the current Shenjing City is sheltered by the magic circle arranged by Zheng Yang, and this situation can still occur!
However, although he was very surprised in his heart, he still didn't take these cultivators into account, he felt that it wouldn't be long before the other Great Jin cultivators who were in charge of patrolling around him would rush to this side, and what was waiting for these people was still death, but in fact, it didn't develop as he expected, they had been fighting here for a long time, but there were still no Great Jin cultivators coming!
How did he know that long before the siege of the Heart Cultivation Palace, these disciples of the Shangqing Sect had already dealt with all the nearby cultivators, and now they can be said to be isolated, it was at this time that Commander Luo finally recognized their current situation, he forcibly pushed a cultivator out of the battle situation, and shouted: "Go and tell Your Majesty, the assassins will invade, let Your Majesty move quickly!" β
The cultivator who was removed from the battlefield did not hesitate, and immediately rushed towards the side of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Yingji, who was watching all this from a distance, did not stop this, an indifferent smile appeared on his face, and seeing that the situation here was already tilting towards their side, he slowly spoke: "Let's go, we should also go and meet for a while, the Optimus Prime who is hidden in the dark side of the Great Jin." β
Hearing Yingji's words, the black shadow nodded, and then followed him out of the battlefield.
The rain was still dripping, and this battle would not end in a short time, Yin Hong's blood stained the glorious palace red, as if it was responding to the sorrowful screams of the Great Jin cultivators who died in battle!
