Chapter 819: The One Who Helps
"Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out in Chang'an City, and the Holy Emperor and Holy Empress who were in the palace could clearly hear the gunshots that resounded through Chang'an City.
The Holy Emperor looked at the Holy Queen beside him with a solemn expression, stretched out his hand and clasped the Ten Fingers of the Holy Queen, and whispered to the Holy Queen: "Master and Lucius should have already entered the city, it seems that the national teacher has also been, hey, the widow is really useless, as the Holy Emperor, he can't help them." ”
The Holy Empress gently patted the Holy Emperor's palm and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, in fact, you have done your best, but our ability is limited after all. ”
"However, but they used Suzaku, I, I can't stop them, I have to let Master and Lucius face Suzaku's power, I'm incompetent......"
Speaking of this, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but hide his face and hang his chest, it could be seen that the Holy Emperor was really angry, as a Holy Emperor, as the king of the Tang Dynasty, but in the face of the situation in front of him, he couldn't even help at all, but instead used the sharp weapon that originally protected the empire to be used by the enemy against his own people.
The Holy Empress naturally understood the Holy Emperor's feelings, and comforted the Holy Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't get excited, although those people can stimulate the power of the Suzaku, they don't dare to wake up the Suzaku, otherwise they will be killed by the Suzaku, they are only mobilizing part of the Suzaku power now, I believe that the master should be able to deal with it." ”
The Holy Emperor shook his head: "No, I'm afraid the master can't handle it alone, if the master can handle it, I'm afraid he won't hear Lucius's gunshot." ”
The Holy Queen didn't say anything more, in fact, the Holy Queen knew very well in her heart that she could hear the gunshots, and that was because Lucius had already made a move, and he should have encountered a very tricky enemy.
But what can they do if they know? Now the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen are like divine dragons trapped in a cage, although they have an unrivaled status and strength, they have no way to use it, and the only remaining forces in their hands are sent out. I'm afraid I'll be killed.
Now the safest thing in the entire Chang'an City is the imperial palace, because there are the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed there, and with the special imperial luck inside and outside the imperial city, even those king-level immortals and Buddhas in the immortal realm and the Buddha country do not dare to attack the palace lightly.
The other people in Chang'an City would not know what was going on at all, because the layout of Chang'an City restricted them all to their respective lifangs, and it could be said that unless they set foot on Suzaku Street, it would be impossible to know what was happening on Suzaku Street.
Because of this, the two sides of the fierce battle on Suzaku Street. Both fought without scruples, and both the master and the national teacher each used all their means to defeat the other.
On the other side, Lucius was standing on the ox cart, and kept shooting around as the ox cart ran, preventing the people led by Shuang'er from getting close to the ox cart.
It's just that although they can't get close to the oxcart under the deterrence of Lucius's guns and bullets, the oxcart can't continue to move forward under their surroundment. The two sides have always been in a situation of mutual containment, and this kind of containment is something that Lucius does not want to see.
The purpose of Lucius's trip was to enter the palace to see the two saints, but now he was pinned down on Suzaku Street, so he wasted time with the other party. It will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the other party.
Because the demon army on the south bank of the Tianjiang River may break through the north bank at any time, if the demon army breaks through the Tianjiang defense line, then I am afraid that even if Lucius leads the mechanical corps to go, it may not be able to stop the attacking demon army.
Even if Lucius held back the demon army. But Tianjiang has been broken by the demon clan, and Datang's is also on the verge of falling apart, and the demon clan is no longer the biggest problem at that time.
The biggest question is. The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress may completely lose most of the people's hearts because of this incident, and if that happens, I am afraid that the Tang Empire will also decline and decline.
Therefore, Lucius must enter the palace as much as possible and tell the two saints of his plan, and at the same time, it is also to gain the trust of the two saints, as well as to solve the current crisis of the two saints, so that the people can regain their trust in the two saints, otherwise the people's hearts will be completely dissipated, and they will not be able to return to the sky.
It's just that in the face of the entanglement of Shuang'er and others, Lucius really has no better way, especially when he stays on the ox cart, and many times he can't fully exert his strength.
Many times Lucius wanted to jump off the ox cart, but the old cow of the master reminded him again and again, which made Lu Xius very puzzled by the strange energy fluctuations on the Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an City in front of him, so he didn't dare to leave the ox cart lightly, for fear that he might fall into the trap of the other party.
I don't know how long it took, but seeing that he could not break through the other party's encirclement, Lucius was already a little anxious, and said to the master's old cow: "It can't go on like this, I have to find a way to rush out." ”
Without waiting for the old cow to stop him, Lucius jumped directly from the ox cart, and just landed on the ground, Lucius only felt as if he was stepping on the back of something.
Rather than a stone slab under his feet, it looked more like the back of a living being, and Lucius only felt a terrible pressure on him, and his whole body lost all strength in an instant, and he couldn't even hold the gun in his hand.
At the same time, the scorching heat rose under his feet, and Lecius felt as if he was in a burning oven, and his entire internal organs were being burned.
"Moo-moo" the old cow of the master cried, as if he wanted to drag Lucius back to the cart behind him, but the old cow could not do anything, after all, it was just a cow pulling the cart.
"Hahaha, you actually dare to jump off the ox cart, do you really think that you can dominate the east? This is Chang'an City, the national teacher has used the power of the Vermilion Bird, you have the protection of the master in the ox cart, and if you get off the ox cart without the protection of the master, you will be burned to death by the flames of the Vermilion Bird. ”
Lucius heard what seemed to be a taunt around him, and he tried to turn his head to look, but found that it was becoming difficult to twist his body, and his body began to become painful.
The burning sensation made him very uncomfortable, but he opened his mouth to call, but he could not make a sound, and could only stand there still burning by the flames.
Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, and he vaguely felt that his whole person was beginning to be in a trance, and his soul was about to fly out of his body, at this moment he seemed to have touched death, and he felt that he was only one step away from death.
Suddenly, just as Lecius's consciousness was about to drift, he felt a hand behind his back lift him, and then threw himself directly into the ox cart.
In an instant, a chill poured into his body, expelling the burning sensation on his body, and Lecius's consciousness gradually woke up, although his body could not move freely, he could already clearly hear the movement around him.
I vaguely heard a familiar voice: "Let's go, take him into the palace." ”
Then came Shuang'er's voice: "Stop, damn it, who are you? Dare to sabotage the plan of the national teacher, you really don't want to die, hurry, stop that cow." ”
"Moo-moo" Lucius only felt that the ox cart under his body suddenly bumped, and he felt as if the whole person was flying, and with the angry cry of the master's ox, the ox cart rushed out directly and rushed towards the direction of the imperial city.
Seeing that the ox cart had run away, Shuang'er and the others immediately regretted it, and turned their heads to look at the guy who had rescued Lucius, who originally planned to attack him in groups.
But when he saw that the other party could stand on Suzaku Street at will, he suddenly understood that the other party had some means, and his own side was not necessarily the opponent of the other party.
The man smiled and bowed to Shuang'er, and said, "Everyone, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and now that you have the upper hand, why do you still use such indiscriminate means? Why don't you fight with Lucius in a dignified manner? Could it be that your three sects are afraid that they will not succeed?"
Shuang'er looked at each other vigilantly, and did not dare to approach rashly, always keeping a distance, while letting others around him surround each other.
After hearing the other party's words, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "Your Excellency said it nicely, the so-called mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, since it is our enemy, why do we care what means we use? ”
The person who rescued Lucius nodded when he heard this: "Well, you're right, but he's my lifelong rival, so I can't let him die here like this." ”
Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he continued: "What's more, your methods are really a bit inferior, obviously using him to just enter the East and have not really come into contact with Suzaku, so using Suzaku to think that he is a foreign enemy, with the help of Suzaku's power of self-defense. ”
"Hmph, again, it doesn't matter what means, the important thing is to get rid of the enemy, since Your Excellency is also a hostile relationship with him, why do you want to save him? It can be seen that Your Excellency is just a hypocrite. ”
"Oh, hypocrite? Are you trying to say that you are real villains? I am indeed a hypocrite, so to speak, because I want to defeat him in the open, and I want him to die in my calculations, so I cannot let him die at your hands now. ”
After that, the person who rescued Lucius turned around and left, and walked straight towards the street next to Suzaku Street, although Shuang'er and the others wanted to stop it, but because they couldn't understand the details of the other party, they didn't dare to act rashly.
In the end, he could only watch the other party leave, and when he turned back, the ox cart had already run to the imperial city and directly entered the city gate that had already been opened.
Seeing the ox cart enter the imperial city, Shuang'er knew that there was no way to complete this mission, so he could only sigh and lead his men to leave quickly, because next on Suzaku Street, there will be a big battle between the master and the national teacher, and it will be dangerous for them to continue to stay.
Lucius, who had already entered the Imperial City, gradually recovered, turned over and sat up, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "That voice just now should definitely be a descendant of the King of Hearts, but why did that guy save me? Wasn't he behind the scenes of this plan?" (To be continued......
