Section 728: After the death of the emperor

When Linxi King Shengwu Yan came out of the palace, he brought a piece of news with a sad face.

His Majesty Wu Lie was seriously injured and died, and he has already returned to the heavens!

His Majesty Wu Lie is dead!

For a while, the nobles in the autumn hunting team rushed to the dormitory at the same time, and everyone was shocked.

Because the old man who fell on the dragon couch, where did he still have the majesty of the king of Tianzhou, his empty eyes, and the wrinkles on his face, like a demon who walked into hell with resentment and unwillingness.

His Majesty Wu Lie is really dead!

In the end, Qin Zhantian stood up suddenly, knelt on his knees, crawled to the side of the dragon couch under His Majesty Wu Lie, kowtowed to his corpse, raised his hand, and wanted to wipe His Majesty's eyes under Wu Lie, but he couldn't make His Majesty Wu Lie close his eyes.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and although the atmosphere in the dormitory was heavy, some people still talked quietly.

"Your Majesty Wu Lie, this is a blind eye......"

"yes, what the hell is going on?"

Someone even lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has returned to heaven after seeing King Linxi, is it ...... What's the secret?"

Who here doesn't know that His Majesty Wulie and King Linxi are not on good terms, and it has been a continuous thing for more than 20 years, but what is the last moment of His Majesty Wulie, to see King Linxi?

At this time, someone broke the news and said: "It's not that His Majesty wants to see King Linxi, but that King Linxi broke into His Majesty's sleeping palace in the name of visiting his illness...... For this reason, the people of Linxi Wangfu also beat the guards of the dormitory. ”

Regicide?

Did the king of Linxi kill the king?

Those who heard this sentence came to their minds almost at the same time.

"Be careful...... Immediately, someone pulled the man's sleeve and said, "This is the sin of destroying the Nine Clans, don't talk nonsense, wait for the Nightless Prince to come back and make a decision!"

At the mention of the Nightless Prince, everyone's uneasy mood was finally calmed down.

It is a big event for His Majesty Wu Lie to return to heaven, but after all, the emperor is also a mortal body, and it is inevitable that people will die, the key is what happens after death, who will inherit the throne. That's what can kill people.

Once you stand in the wrong position, it is not your own head that will be lost, maybe the heads of hundreds of people in the Nine Clans will be gone.

But fortunately, the two contenders for the throne, well, in fact, should not be there competition, and the Prince of Nightless should be the sole heir to the throne. But who called Linxi Wang Gong Gao Zhenzhu, so strong?

As long as the two competitors are in front of them, in front of the officials, the names are given, there is no controversy. The heads of these ministers and nobles can also rest easy.

But where can things be so simple? After Qin Zhantian covered the body of His Majesty Wu Lie with a bright yellow quilt, he turned around and said to everyone: "Your Majesty has returned to Tianque, and the matter behind you should wait for His Highness Wuye to arrive, and discuss it with everyone more." ”

Speaking of which, everyone realized that from the time His Majesty died and returned to the sky, until now, there is a key figure who has never appeared - the Prince of Nightlessness!

Where is the Nightless Prince?

"Where did Your Highness go at such a critical moment?"

"Your Majesty has returned to heaven, His Royal Highness, as the heir, should hurry over to wear filial piety and guard the spirit, why did he disappear at this time?"

"This is unfilial piety!"

Just when everyone was anxious, a Yulin guard suddenly ran in the palace, looked at everyone, and looked at King Linxi and Qin Zhantian.

After all, now that His Majesty Wu Lie has returned to heaven, these two people were extremely popular ministers before, and in the absence of Prince Wuye, they are naturally the best candidates to preside over the overall situation.

"Say it!" King Linxi nodded, and motioned for the Yulin guard to say to the group of dignitaries and nobles in the palace: "The prince is missing!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which stunned many people present.

His Majesty is dead, and His Highness Nightless is missing!

How could it be so coincidental?

Could it be that His Royal Highness has also suffered an accident? Many nobles who were friendly with the Prince of the Nightless Soul muttered in their hearts almost at the same time.

Who did this?

Do you still need to ask?

"Ladies and gentlemen......" At this moment, some people among the ministers were already shouting: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, now His Majesty has been killed, the prince is missing, and the prince is asked to inherit the throne first!"

"Exactly, back then, the prince tried his best to make the evil soul sect unable to pass the sea and mountain pass and protect the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, didn't His Majesty once say that he would entrust the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to the prince?"

"Yes, maybe the prince is destined to inherit the unification of Tianzhou!" As soon as these words came out, the military attaches among the hundred officials were almost all under the Linxi King's family, of course, they wished that their old boss would become the Ninety-Five Supreme, and they all echoed it.

There is only one person who has not spoken, and this is also the person who should not be silent - King Linxi's closest comrade-in-arms now, his in-laws, Bing Gehou Qin Zhantian.

If King Linxi becomes the emperor, then the Qin family will become a real relative of the emperor, why didn't he open his mouth?

Sure enough, King Linxi saw that Qin Zhantian didn't speak, he also smiled, and said humbly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just missing, and it has not been confirmed that he was killed, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really encounters an accident, this king can't sit back and watch the heir of the Celestial Empire, so he has to reluctantly take over this heavy burden of the society......" At this time, he changed his words and said: "But for now, you can't make a rash decision, let's wait until you find Your Highness!"

Hearing King Linxi's resignation, a group of officials changed their words and said: "Then ask the prince to regent first, and then make a decision when you find His Royal Highness!"

Although the king of Linxi repeatedly refused, he still "had to" be the regent first, this somewhat contrived and absurd scene was actually in the dormitory where he died under His Majesty Wu Lie, and no one cared about the corpse of the old emperor who was covered by bright yellow satin, dead and unblind, and his bones were not cold.

Everything seems to be a natural fit.

Although all parties tried their best to blockade it, the news that His Majesty Wu Lie was besieged by the killers of the Human Demon Hall during the autumn hunting and was seriously injured and died still spread from various channels.

Of course, the more exciting news is still to come, the missing person who originally thought he had been killed, the Prince of the Nightless, appeared in Yunjing City after being missing for a few hours, and gathered the 20,000 forest guards left behind in Yunjing City and his own 3,000 doormen to block the four gates of Yunjing City.

In the face of more than 40,000 forest guards and 5,000 iron-blooded guards of the Linxi Palace, who were commanded by the King of Linxi and asked to enter the city and place the corpse of His Majesty Wu Lie in the ancestral temple to pay respects, the Prince of Wuye stood on the tower of the South Gate, and in front of the soldiers of the three armies, he showed the evidence that the King of Linxi colluded with the Human Demon Hall to assassinate His Majesty Wu Lie, and tried to assassinate him, and listed the ten crimes of the King of Linxi, Shengwu Yan, who should be punished, and refused to open the city!

Yunjing was already a famous fortified city in the North Continent in the era of the melee of the heroes, and the Shengtian Dynasty had been the capital for thousands of years, and it was constantly strengthening the city walls and repairing the military equipment, so that some people called Yunjing the city of "the city of Xinghao can do nothing".

After all, star-level powerhouses are not crazy, it is impossible to slaughter tens of thousands of people with the power of one person, and star-level powerhouses are also in harmony with the starry sky, this move is obviously against the harmony of heaven, and it will have a great impact on future cultivation, even if it is a killer of the Demon Hall who enters the Dao, it is only the same level or even a higher level person to kill, not to kill a monk below the star level, or even an unarmed civilian.

Although the army commanded by the King of Linxi outside the city has a sufficient advantage in terms of the number of masters and the number of troops, he has been using troops for many years and is scheming, and he does not dare to confront the Sleepless Prince who relies on Yunjing City.

So 45,000 people had to scatter and surround Yunjing City, camp on the spot, and the two sides confronted each other under Yunjing City.

Of course, some people say that the king of Linxi suffered a big loss because he forcibly stormed the south gate, so he had to give up the siege and change to a confrontation.

Although there are different opinions, one thing is certain, that is, after the third day, the vicinity of Yunjing City seemed to become a black hole of information, and no news came out again.

All the descriptions of all this were slowly revealed after the dust had settled on the whole thing.

Soon, the night of the fourth day had fallen again, and it was autumn, and it was getting darker and earlier.

At dusk, thousands of lights in Yunjing City are lit, and there are hundreds of miles outside the city.

The sound of the flute was like a cry and a complaint, and the mourning was long gone, and it was actually joined together with someone in a hoarse voice.

"Ancient dynasties, emperor road, success or failure in life and death, the general road is cannibalism, the same root, vendetta and unrestrained, after a hundred years of glory, it is not under the coffin, a handful of loess, hundreds of years later, it is reincarnation, endless. ”

The song turned out to be extremely appropriate, at this time the prince in the city was the prince of the nightless, and outside the city was his uncle King Linxi, many people in the city and the enemy army outside the city were still close comrades-in-arms a few days ago, and there were even fathers and sons, because they were divided in different departments of Yulinwei, and now they are going to fight each other!

The impermanence of the world is evident in this way.

For a time, countless soldiers inside and outside the city stopped to listen, and even some old soldiers wept bitterly when they were hurt by the scene.

Who knew that as soon as the mournful sound fell, there was a sound of "woo woo" horns above the company camp outside the city, as if it was a response to the singing on the city tower, and the slowly falling sunset continued to float above the vast sky.

At the same time, inside the big tent of the Chinese army outside the city, a man wearing a golden flying dragon robe was sitting in front of the table, and on both sides of the lower head, dozens of military generals in armor knelt.

The first person on the left side was not wearing armor, but a purple robe, which was the soldier Hou Qin Zhantian.

At this time, the big tent in the army naturally heard the sound of the flute above the city tower, and saw that many of the generals changed their faces, and a general knelt directly in front of the middle-aged man with the golden flying dragon robe and said: "Lord, now that the two sides are facing each other, most of our army are Yulin guards, and their families are basically in Yunjing City, and people are thinking about it." In addition, hearing such a homesick song, I am afraid that the battle spirit will quickly dissipate, please give the order to attack the city quickly!"
