Chapter 327: The Heavenly Bell Rang Nine and Cryed Down the Palace Wall
After putting away the sword of killing, Yu Chen took out a pen and paper and asked the old man Wensheng to repair a book.
It explains in detail all the processes from the Hongmen banquet, the three saints and the first emperor to kill Qi, to the fake death of Qihou to seize the skin of the national teacher, and then to the later plot of the holy seal.
Including Yu Chen and the old man Wensheng's speculation that "Emperor Qiyuan has been manipulated by Empress Qi".
It also added a lot of secrets that only Old Man Wen Sheng and Song Xiang knew.
Then he used the magic power of paper man and paper horse, turned the letter paper into a paper crane, flapped his wings and flew to the capital.
Not long after, the paper crane stayed on the windowsill of the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.
Song Xiang, who had just returned from the ruins of Hongguang Temple and found nothing, discovered it.
He raised an eyebrow and unfolded the letter.
As I read, my face became gloomy.
- Got everything.
At the same time, according to those details that only he and Old Man Wen Sheng knew, it was determined that the letter was written by Old Man Wen Sheng himself.
After a long time, he put down the letter and leaned back in his chair.
Some questions have finally been answered.
Why did the cicada that had disappeared for decades suddenly appear? Because Empress Qi didn't die at all, over the years, I'm afraid she had already rebuilt the cicada under the moon, and even infiltrated the interior of Zhantiansi.
Why did the national teacher go to the Red Light Temple almost at the same time as him, it was not a heavenly turtle divination, but because the owner of the cicada stronghold under the moon under the Red Light Temple was the queen Qi who was dressed in the skin of the national teacher, the stronghold was destroyed, and Qu Youhe was released, so she naturally wanted to come to check.
And why did she leave in a hurry all of a sudden, it was because after the real national teacher Qu Youhe cut himself off, his skin lost its vitality, and he quickly corrupted in order to prevent being discovered by himself, so he ran away without saying a word!
"Hoo ......"
Song Xiang let out a long breath of turbid breath and understood everything.
Then, stand up.
Glancing at the last words of the letter.
- Will you kill a thief one day?
This once looked good, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and landed here in a flash.
- Yes.
It's an answer.
Then the letter paper was folded back into a paper crane, and as soon as it was put out the window, the paper crane flew into the vast night and disappeared without a trace.
So far, although the two sides have not met, they also said that at least in the matter of "hostile Qi Hou", Yu Chen and Song Xiang are on the same camp.
The next day, the sky was bright.
The capital, which had been asleep, did not have any impact because of what happened in the ruins of the Hongguang Temple last night.
What should everyone do, they didn't notice anything unusual.
Until a certain moment.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavenly bell located inside the Imperial City rang loudly!
Everyone looked up in horror.
I only heard the heavenly bell ringing nine times in a row, echoing endlessly.
Even if the bell stopped completely, the entire capital was still covered by a strange dead silence, without a sound.
Heavenly Clock!
When this thing rings, it means something big is happening!
Since Emperor Qiyuan succeeded to the throne, the heavenly bell has only rang four times.
The first time was at the Hongmen banquet, and the queen was ambushed.
The second time was more than a year ago, when overseas cults invaded.
The third time was a year ago, when the Great Xia Wensheng fell.
The fourth time was not long ago, when the judge invaded the palace and kidnapped Princess Qi'an.
Today, it's the fifth time.
And everyone knows that although the reason for the bell ringing is different, from past experience, every bell ringing represents a terrible change!
Throughout the ages, it is better than that.
After a short period of dead silence, there was an uproar in the capital, and between the discussions, panic spread.
There is speculation about what happened again.
Until the sun rises three poles.
A piece of news that spreads far and wide.
It's not a lot of words, but it's appalling!
ββOne of the Three Sages of Great Xia, the Lord of Wanfa Mountain, the national teacher of Zhan Tiansi, Qu Youhe, is dead!
At that moment, the people who heard the news, whether it was the dawn people, the dignitaries or the high-rollers, all dropped their jaws in shock.
It's unbelievable for a long time!
Before they could react, Zhan Tiansi held a state funeral and buried the national teacher.
Song Xiang and He Ziqiu looked at everyone coldly in the send-off procession, trying to find Empress Qi's figure, but in the end, they found nothing.
Yu Chen was also among the onlookers, watching coldly.
- He was not surprised by this.
After all, as soon as the real Qu Youhe died, his skin collapsed, and it was naturally impossible for Empress Qi to use his identity as a national teacher to sit on the wrong side.
Therefore, the identity of the national teacher must die.
Otherwise, there is no way to give any explanation to the people of the world.
Now the question is, after losing the skin of the national teacher, who has become of Empress Qi?
Throughout the day, except for those people who were purely watching the excitement and gossiping, and the terrified ministers of the court, Yu Chen and Song Xiang were looking for traces of Empress Qi in places where they could not see each other.
But after five or six hours, even the funeral is over.
I didn't notice it at all.
Finally, at dusk, Yu Chen went home and returned to the Mausoleum of No Return.
and the old man Wensheng and Yu Juvenile, making tea around the stove.
"It seems that Empress Qi has already left her hands behind - in addition to Princess Qi'an's body, she must have prepared other containers, otherwise it would be impossible to get out of Qu Youhe's identity so quickly."
The old man Wen Sheng also reacted at this time and sighed: "I just don't know whose identity she has replaced at this time?" It is not even necessary to say whether it is still in the Occupy Heaven Division. β
"No matter who she becomes, at least now she has lost the power to control the Heavenly Division as a national teacher; If she is unwilling to give up Zhan Tiansi - whoever succeeds to the next national teacher will be the queen of Qi. Yu Chen's eyes flashed.
"What if she doesn't move?" Yu Yuyu put his hands on his cheeks and asked.
"Then I'll leave it to that Song Xiang to check."
Yu Chen took a deep breath: "He has been rooted in the imperial court for so many years, and he always has some of his own methods, which are much more useful than our random guesses - besides, since it is an alliance, that Song Xiang doesn't want to sit back and enjoy it, and he has to have some strength."
When she reveals her identity again and shows her clues, it will be the time of the decisive battle! β
As soon as he said this, Yu Youyu and Old Man Wen Sheng both nodded.
In a few words, the next plan has been finalized.
Anyway, first focus on the position of the national teacher, whoever succeeds the next national teacher will be the queen of Qi.
If she has been patient and does not move, then let Song Xiang in the court investigate.
Once found.
Then ...... Never die!
So, this matter can be regarded as shelved first.
The days are back to their daily lives for the time being.
Day by day, in the blink of an eye, it is half a month.
It's summer.
The temperature is hot, and the sun of Hexi becomes scorching, hanging high above the ceiling, sprinkling blazing, bringing steaming heat.
After experiencing the incident of Ziji Daru, Jixia Academy also restored order in the chaos, and countless disciples and scholars returned to school. Qinghuan and Shi also returned to the life of going out early and returning late again.
The weather in June is hot in summer.
Yu Chen also spent his twentieth birthday in this hot summer.
In the evening, he cooked a table of delicacies and went down the mountain to buy fine wine.
The sky is full of stars, the silver moon is like a hook, and the sky is cloudless; The ground is staggered, people and ghosts gather together, and they don't get drunk and don't return.
It's also embarrassing.
If Yu Chen hadn't gotten the Sutra and hadn't embarked on such a road, I'm afraid he would have already embarked on the road of exile to Mobei at this time, and in the end, he might have become a low tomb on the road of exile.
Oh, it may also be that without his mixing, the Shenwu King's plan is successful, and Jiangzhou will be directly refined, and he Yu Chen will also become an insignificant wisp of flesh and blood in the Divine Pill.
But what about now?
He came to the capital and became a "judge" who made the entire court frightened, and even had the power to change the situation in the entire Great Xia.
Really...... The world is impermanent.
Following.
The first day of Yu Chen's twentieth birthday.
Got up from the bed and pushed the door open.
Hey!
Good start!
I saw a few officials digging a pit.
Behind them, carts were parked, covered with yellow and white shrouds, and the bright red blood soaked through the cloths.
Take a look.
There are more than a dozen corpses, which are shocking.
What a good start!
Seeing Yu Chen, several officials said hello.
Just babble and tell him what these corpses are all about.
Let's say that this is late June, and it has been more than half a month since the nine rings of the heavenly bell and the burial of the national teacher.
Everyone gradually accepted this fact.
Day by day, the days went on as usual.
And just last night, more than a dozen women came to the capital, dressed differently and with very different accents, and they didn't come from the same place at first glance, and I don't know why they got together.
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, they got up early and knelt on the Luoshui Bridge.
When those officers and soldiers saw it, they must be in charge, so they asked them what was the matter.
The dozen or so women wept and said that they had come to find a husband.
The officer asked again where her husband had gone.
They said that their husband was a member of the Ministry of Works, and there had been no news for more than half a year.
The officer told them to wait a while, and then went to the Ministry of Works to report to them.
Not long after, the Ministry of Works summoned them to the house.
What happened inside, these officials don't know.
I only know that later, after these dozen women came out of the Ministry of Industry, they have been kneeling at the gate of the Ministry of Industry and crying, crying so loudly that they are crying blood, saying that the court cares about people's lives or something.
attracted many people in the capital to watch.
It's also a time when everyone is talking about it.
Suddenly, the sky was dark, the sand was flying, and I only heard a buzzing sound, and the towering palace wall of the Ministry of Engineering collapsed!
Heavy masonry fell down, causing countless clouds of dust and killing the dozen or so women.
This scene made countless ordinary people who watched the excitement cry out that they had been wronged, and more than a dozen women cried down the palace wall!
Then, several officials took over the work and carried the bodies of the dozen women up the mountain.
When Yu Chen heard this, he was directly stunned.
Crying down the palace wall?
A dozen or so ordinary women who looked like mortals cried down the wall of the Ministry of Works that could not necessarily be collapsed by the alchemists of the Sea Realm?
Are you going to play a fantasy story here?
