Chapter 426: A Chance to Enter the Imperial City
Two hours later, night fell.
In the dark night, the snow is still falling, on both sides of the street, the huge lanterns are swaying in the cold wind, and the quiet snowy night makes the ancient city of Yong'an more vicissitudes.
"Let's go out of the water!"
In the east of the city, the gong of the watchman sounded rapidly.
The neighbors were awakened one after another.
"Which one?"
"It's Lu Yuan's family, go and help."
The Lu family has a good reputation in the city and is in harmony with their neighbors, so the neighbors around them found out that something was wrong and sent people to help.
Most of the heads of these wealthy merchants' families are cultivators, and even if their qualifications are not good, they have hired monks to guard them, and they naturally have their own means of disaster relief.
Some people threw out the talismans, and the ice condensed...
Some people use fire avoidance tricks to save people...
However, the Lu family's fire burned a little evil.
The fire was like a vicious beast, jumping and dancing in the night, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed every corner of the house.
Thundered!
There was no time to rescue, and the Lu family's house collapsed in the fire and became a ruin.
The snow was still falling, and in the light of the fire, the people around looked at each other, and their eyes became strange.
Anyone can see that there is something wrong with this fire.
"The Lu family, I'm afraid I've offended someone, right?"
"I heard something happened in the mine."
"Shhh
The Divine Dynasty has ruled for thousands of years, and small families have lived and perished, and the people have accumulated enough wisdom for survival.
Mouthy and curious, is really going to kill people.
When the people of the yamen came, one of the old men stretched out his hand and pressed it, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, and the embers were extinguished, and the officials rushed up and searched carefully among the ashes......
The people from the Golden Crow Temple also came, pinched the magic trick, summoned the common gods, and quickly left without noticing the evil demon and evil spirit...
A fire, characterized as an accident.
Luo Tongzhi, who was feasting in the mansion, got the news, looked at Judge Li, who was drinking alone, and shook his head slightly.
Naturally, he had already guessed what was going on.
However, this mess came from the sky, how many pond fish were affected, how many ants ran away, and the people in the sky should not care...
β¦β¦
On the snowy Huanglong River, a cargo ship is sailing slowly, and it is dark all around, only the sound of water and the sound of boats smashing ice floes can be heard, and the dim candlelight in the boat pavilion flickers, which makes it even more lonely.
On the deck, some men dressed as Jianghu people silently adjusted their sails, their faces were red from the cold wind, and their eyes were vigilant and focused, looking in all directions.
In the cabin, all the people of the Lu family were hiding inside.
Mrs. Lu hugged Lu Qiu tightly with a quilt, and the housekeeper Lu Fu took a few loyal family members to hold down the remaining boxes.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your great kindness."
Lu Chengfeng also changed his clothes, wearing a fur hat, like a merchant who runs a boat all the year round, and respectfully bowed his hand to a man.
After receiving Judge Li's warning, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately dismissed the family members in the house, only packed up important belongings, and escaped with a fire.
Of course, friends on the rivers and lakes are indispensable to help.
The black-faced man with a beard on the opposite side is surnamed Wang, who is a helmsman of the Yellow Dragon Gang, and has a good relationship with Lu Chengfeng, and takes care of each other's business in the past.
The Golden Crow Divine Dynasty has a strict household registration management system, and you need road guidance to travel to and from various places, and if you want to leave silently, you can only ask the Huanglong Gang to help.
"Haha, Brother Lu is outside."
Lord Wang Helm patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, there are always some ditches and bumps, with the relationship between Brother Lu and me, why do you need to say these polite words." β
As he spoke, his eyes rolled and he inquired: "Brother Lu, your net worth and business are all in Hexi Mansion, where are you going to settle down this time?" β
Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly: "The incident happened suddenly, I was flustered, and I didn't know where to go. β
Lord Wang Helm shook his head slightly, and persuaded him: "Brother Lu, it's better to make plans early, I'll go and see the brothers outside." β
With that, he got up and pushed the door open.
As soon as he left, Lu Chengfeng's face changed, and he lowered his voice and ordered: "The surname Wang is a little wrong, prepare to break through later!" β
Along the way, the other party didn't ask him what happened at all, but was very interested in where he was going.
This is a clichΓ©, and most of the other party has already had bad intentions.
Boom!
At this moment, with the sound of breaking the air, a person fell on the deck outside, and then he heard the flattering voice of the king helmsman: "I have seen the general, and the person is inside." β
Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank, and a chill rose in his heart.
Even through the doors and windows, he could feel the powerful aura of the person outside, like a furnace, and the air was scorched, and there was a faint smell of burning.
It's the people of the Golden Crow Temple!
Moreover, he is also a master of Jindan!
He was desperate in his heart, and with a long sword in his hand, he was desperately protecting his wife and children.
Boom!
The doors and windows of the cabin suddenly exploded, as if drawn out by an invisible force, and disappeared into the night, and the cold wind and snow suddenly poured in, blowing everyone's hair and dancing.
On deck, torches swayed.
The people of the Yellow Dragon Gang, including the Wang Helm Master, all bent down respectfully, not even daring to raise their heads.
A man stands with his hands in his hands.
He was dressed in a unicorn swallowing golden armor, with a scorching sun pattern on his breastplate, a blood-colored cloak that hunted and flew in the cold night, and under his red eyebrows, his eyes were cold, like a cold blade.
Lu Chengfeng only felt that his lips were dry, "General Tuoba..."
The person in front of him, named Tuoba Yan, is the protector general of the Jinwu Temple in Hexi Prefecture, who is in a high position and power, and is stationed in the military camp outside Yong'an City with a large army on weekdays.
In each place, there are almost two systems of the Golden Crow Temple, and a high priest is stationed in the temple and is in charge of incense sacrifices. The Dharma Protector General is in charge of the temple army, and is responsible for suppressing the monks and evil cults who are in rebellion.
They are at the same level as the government Yin, even if they violate the laws of the Divine Dynasty, the government has no right to deal with it, and can only report to the temple for handling.
More importantly, this person is a member of the Tuoba family.
In the realm of Hexi Mansion, the power of the Tuoba family is taboo even for the royal family, even if half of Yong'an City is destroyed, no one dares to say half a word of nonsense.
Lu Chengfeng secretly complained in his heart.
When did you offend the people of the Tuoba family?
He's still confused.
Tuoba Yan glanced coldly and said, "Where is the person who helped you break the curse?" Say it, General Ben will make your family die happily. β
Lu Qiu, who was in the quilt, watched all this calmly, and when he heard the other party's words, his heart suddenly became clear.
It seems that the person who cast the spell was related to the Tuoba family, and he used a poisonous curse to counter it, and most of that person was dead.
This guy is afraid that he is here to retaliate.
Lu Chengfeng is not a fool, he figured everything out in an instant, and looked at his wife and children behind him, his eyes were cloudy.
He didn't want to betray his life-saver, and even if he revealed the news, his family might not be able to escape death.
However, Mrs. Lu had already lit the incense stick, looked outside and gritted her teeth: "I'll call him out, and ask the general to spare my child's life." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng suddenly knew in his heart that his wife was looking for an opportunity, as long as that master came, the two sides would fall into a fight, maybe his family would have a chance to escape.
Call~
As soon as the incense sticks were lit, the wind blew on the river.
Lu Qiu in the quilt closed his eyes, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, flickering, and it had fallen in front of everyone in the Lu family, it was Zhang Biao's Youshen Dharma.
Feeling the aura on his body, Tuoba Yan was not afraid at all, but a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, "Luofu Divine Court's Wandering God Appearance?" Your Excellency is the man of the Seven Princes? β
Zhang Biao was stunned.
I didn't expect the other party to recognize this wandering god law root.
Could it be that in the hands of the Seven Princes, there is also a wandering god?
Although he was strange in his heart, he still said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "This seat has nothing to do with any prince, get away and spare your life." β
"Hahaha..."
Tuoba Yan seemed to have heard something funny, shook his head and said, "It turned out to be a wild cultivator, you individuals, if you have some inheritance, you don't know the height of the sky." β
"Fortunately, it was General Ben who met me."
"You can kill insects with the technique of poisonous spells, and you are good at this, if you can bow down and serve, this general will not be guilty of the past."
As soon as the words fell, a series of whistling sounds sounded in the air, and I saw a monk in armor breaking through the air.
Behind their armor, there are kite-like magic weapons, and the fire rises above the armor, like fireflies, flying in the dark night.
They were holding strange bows and crossbows in their hands, and the arrows in front of them flashed red, with a terrifying murderous intent.
Not only that, but an idol of a god appeared in the air.
The god statue is like a Taoist, wearing a crown of cupola, a golden crow carved on his robe, and a huge ring magic weapon burning brightly behind him, causing it to float in the air, like a blazing sun in the night.
This river was instantly shrouded in the realm of the gods.
The temperature in the Divine Domain was extremely high, with a sense of dryness and heat, and the ice floe on the surface of the river slowly melted, and water vapor rose.
The Wang helmsman next to him rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "This fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you don't know, the person surnamed Lu just now wants to betray you, what can you do for them?" β
"General Tuoba is thirsty for talent, you have to seize the opportunity......"
Behind him, Lu Chengfeng and his wife heard this, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
Zhang Biao listened and looked around helplessly.
Today's situation seems to be unpleasant.
These people are not to be feared, but once they are killed, they will alarm the behemoth of the Golden Crow God Dynasty, and the other party has the world origin to suppress the luck, so they can only flee in the wilderness.
Isn't it bad luck for you?
I wanted to sneak in, but how did I get to do this...
Sou!
Just as the killing intent in his heart rose, the sound of breaking the sky came from the night sky again, accompanied by a majestic voice:
"Do you want to rebel against the imperial decree of the Tuoba family!"
Bang!
As soon as the words fell, a fireball rose in the night sky, but it was a square-faced man in a purple robe, and he took out a token in his hand: "The Golden Crow Order is here, this official will see which one dares to move!" β
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly shouted, "Lord Overseer, the villain is here!" β
A fierce light flashed in Tuoba Yan's eyes, and with a flick of his fingers, a fire dragon dart flew towards the Lu family and his party with an astonishing killing plane.
Syllable!
In mid-air, the dragon dart stopped.
I saw that Zhang Biao had already held the fire dragon dart, and with a tooth-sour sound, this magic weapon was crushed by him.
He condensed the strange Dan Baby, although he did not have a Yang God, but the ordinary Jin Dan was not an opponent at all.
If it weren't for the fact that things had taken a turn for the better and summoned the Spirit Devouring Cicada, none of the people present would have survived.
"How daring, dare to kill people?!"
The Overseer roared angrily, and with the light of the fire, it instantly landed on the ship, and raised the Golden Crow Order high, "General Tuoba, are you going to kill even your own officer?" β
Tuoba Yan sneered, and the ferocity in his eyes became more and more intense.
At this moment, among the statues in the air, an old voice suddenly came: "Hey, General Tuoba, without the old man's edict, why did you transfer the statue of the Divine Fire without permission?" β
With that, the burning flame idol around the body broke through the air, and the divine domain behind it also dissipated.
"Hmph, old fox."
Tuoba Yan's face was not good, but the killing intent on his body also disappeared, and he said coldly: "I heard that a demon has invaded Yong'an, could it be that Liu Dujun has something to do with the demon?" β
The Overseer snorted, "Demons, where did they come from?" β
But it was Zhang Biao, who disappeared without a trace at some point.
Tuoba Yan's pupils shrank, and at the same time, a chill rose in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then the official will not accompany him." β
With that, he broke through the air and quickly left with his subordinates.
The people of the Yellow Dragon Gang saw that the opportunity was not good, and jumped directly into the water, treading water and jumping on the river, and rushed into the night on the shore.
This operation made everyone in the Lu family confused.
The Overseer breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you Liu Dujun for saving me." β
Liu Dujun looked around and said meaningfully: "This official's golden crow order can only scare away the high priest of the temple who is unwilling to get involved in this matter. β
"Tuoba is powerful, even if he kills us and others, he only needs to find someone to blame for it afterwards, and he can fool this matter, what he is afraid of is the master just now."
"Come without a trace, go without a trace, and the way is far beyond us."
"Lu Chengfeng, I didn't see it, you still have a relationship with such a master, with the other party's way, you are not a nameless, right?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "The adults misunderstood, how can the villain have that ability, this matter is just a coincidence..."
As he spoke, he told the story of the incident.
After hearing this, Liu Dujun frowned slightly and said: "This kind of master is often unwilling to owe cause and effect, but you are lucky." β
Lu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Overseer, I have been working hard according to your orders, and I don't dare to be sloppy, why did I invite this disaster?" β
Liu Dujun glanced at it lightly, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, this official was ordered by the five princes to come to supervise the matter of the spirit mine, and the Tuoba family wants to harm the five princes, so they will naturally make trouble from it." β
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... Please also ask the Overseer to show the way. β
He understood that he was accidentally involved in a battle at the top, and even Fu Yin had to avoid this kind of thing, let alone him.
Liu Dujun looked at the rear, "People dare to rob and kill me, the official of the imperial court, if you stay here, of course, it is a dead end, let me go." β
"When you arrive at the imperial city, confirm the matter, record the confession, and your family is safe and sound."
Lu Chengfeng was flustered in his heart, "This, with this kind of thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to sue the Tuoba family,"
Liu Dujun sneered, "Of course you can't sue you, and that's not what the five princes want." β
"You are the only one alive in this matter, teach you to be obedient, just shout injustice, explain the arrogance of the Tuoba family, and the five princes will naturally save the lives of both of us."
Lu Chengfeng was stunned, "My lord, you also..."
Liu Dujun shook his head slightly and looked at the black night sky, "Don't feel that you are wronged, this official is not much better than you." β
"We are now grasshoppers on a rope."
"Remember, the worse we are, the better we live."
In the quilt, Zhang Biao was relieved.
He's got the whole thing in the picture.
In order to raise the army's spiritual mine, the fifth prince sent this Liu Inspector to the Tuoba family territory in Hexi Mansion to supervise the matter.
Tuoba Yan naturally won't let it succeed, but he can't come openly, he can only make a stumbling block secretly, and the Lu family will be involved.
This Liu Overseer is also a human spirit, knowing that this matter will definitely not be done, and if he can't complete the task, he will die, so it is better to get the handle of the Tuoba family and become the reason for the five princes to attack the crown prince.
These things seem small, but when they are accumulated, they may become the force for the fall of the crown prince.
Zhang Biao was not interested in these intrigues.
What he cared about was that he finally had the opportunity to get close to the Golden Crow Imperial City...
