Chapter Seventy-Seven: Like a Fire Lotus (3-in-1)
The breaking of the moat means a lot of things.
It means that there is no longer anything that can block the inside and outside, and the people of the academy can come in, Mr. Chen, Cao Sheng and others.
It means that the queen's seal can no longer suppress the Tang Emperor, and the Tang Emperor can come out of the secret room.
It meant that the remaining ten Grandmasters guarding around the East Palace had broken away and were able to join the battle.
It also means that the sixth rate of the prince and the Qing Ce army outside the city can rush over as quickly as possible.
It meant that the remaining ten or so Grandmasters of Snow Country and Yin Cao no longer had the possibility of continuing to rebel and resist, so the few people who had guarded the Snow Country's Yin Cao Five Realms before were only the first time that the Great Array was broken and fled away.
The great defense array is broken, the civil strife in Chang'an City will soon be resolved, Xuzhou City and Beidi need to be redeployed, and after this failure, they must retreat to the snow field again to watch the follow-up, and then make a decision.
With the moment when the Great Protective Array was shattered, although the war within the Tang Kingdom was still going on at the moment, everyone had already seen the moment of the end.
The queen raised her head, and the mist on her face dissipated, revealing that majestic but very beautiful countenance.
A line of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, it was not the fear of failure, but as she said before, the breaking of the protective array meant a lot of things.
That means that Li Wenxuan is on the opposite side of her, and everything she does is to let Li Wenxuan sit in that position, but in the end, when she was about to succeed, Li Wenxuan stood opposite her.
The aura of the Ten Five Realms Grandmasters rose from the direction of the East Palace and swept towards here, and they came here in between breaths, three of them landed on Li Xiu's side to protect his safety, and the remaining seven Grandmasters converged with the other seven Tang Realm Grandmasters in the sky, and fourteen people stood behind Liu Boliang of Canglongwei, staring coldly at the Empress and the ten Snow Realms and the Five Realms of Yin Cao behind her.
It's not that they don't want to escape, but they know they can't.
There are not many five realms guarding outside Chang'an City, only four people.
After entering the city, the grass saint went straight to the East Palace, and Mr. Chen walked towards the palace, he stood in the sky and the sky, walking step by step.
A Five Realms Grandmaster who was running outside the city suddenly stiffened and fell straight to the ground.
Mr. Chan is still walking.
With every step he took, a Five Realms Grandmaster lost his life.
A man's head rolled off his shoulder.
A man's body splits in the middle and splits in two.
He walked into the palace from outside Chang'an City, and several of the escaped Snow Country Yin Cao Wujing were all killed.
"Queen!"
He stood beside Liu Boliang, saluted the queen, and said softly.
It's all over.
The queen looked at him coldly and said with a slight mockery: "It seems that the academy has not forgotten that it is the academy of the Tang Dynasty after all." ”
Mr. Chen lowered his head slightly and did not speak.
The academy is the academy of the Tang Dynasty, and it stands to reason that it should have been aware of this kind of thing before it happened, but the academy focused most of its attention on the sky, so it ignored the things in Chang'an City, which was incompetent from this point of view.
So he lowered his head and did not refute.
The faces of the ten grandmasters of Snow Country and Yin Cao behind him have become more and more ugly.
So someone spoke: "Queen, the current situation is not good, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, if I wait for cooperation and escape together, maybe we can save our lives." ”
Although he didn't show it, there was indeed fear in his heart.
This is the Tang Dynasty, this is Chang'an City, and there is not a single hostile Five Realms Grandmaster who is not afraid of this place.
Now that the big array has been broken, it means that what they feared most will happen after all.
"Cooperation, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with Hongu?"
The queen turned her back to them and said coldly.
Yin Cao Wujing's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The queen mother doesn't want to be embarrassed, you should be clear about your situation, if we don't cooperate and escape now, we will all have to die here." ”
The queen looked up at the sky, the snowflakes in the cold sky kept falling, and it was extremely lonely to be alone between the vast world and the world, especially after the death of the important person in your heart.
So she didn't answer, just stood there and didn't move.
The faces of the ten Five Realms Grandmasters of the Snow Country Yin Cao became even more ugly, and then they glanced at each other, deciding not to pay attention to the queen anymore, and scattered to flee for their lives, maybe there was still a chance to live.
But just as they were making a move, the quiet imperial city suddenly shook.
Once, again!
It's very rhythmic and very smooth!
It was as if someone was walking on the road, and the pace of walking attracted the imperial city, and gradually, not only the imperial palace, but also the entire Chang'an City vibrate.
Then there was a thousand miles, and then there was the whole world.
The sky seemed to tremble.
The palace gate in the distance suddenly collapsed, and the entire Fengyi Hall collapsed, the wall smashed to the ground and raised countless dust, and patches of white smoke and dust covered the intersection.
The goose-feather snow fell, gradually pressing all the dust back to the ground, revealing what it would look like after the collapsed walls.
There was a man walking slowly.
It was a young man, barefoot like Li Wenxuan, with long hair scattered, his gaze indifferent and expressionless.
He was dressed in a dragon robe and walked towards here.
Canglongwei fell from the sky and half-knelt on the ground.
Mr. Chen also fell to the ground and half-bowed in respect.
Ying Zi'an half-knelt on the ground, and all the Five Realms Grandmasters in the palace bowed and saluted.
This is the Tang Emperor!
Li Xiu looked up at him, his eyes were a little trance, he had only seen Tang Huang when he was three or four years old, and the impression in his mind had already blurred after so many years, but he could still feel some familiarity at the moment.
Emperor Tang stood on the ground and looked up at the empress.
The queen lowered her eyes, stood in the air, and was also looking at him.
The eyes of the ten Snow Country Yin Cao Grandmasters above the sky were filled with fear, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
Emperor Tang looked at the queen and said, "You shouldn't do this." ”
The queen sneered: "There are many things that should not be done in this world, and you should not have been in retreat for so many years, but you still did it. ”
Tang Huang said lightly: "Everyone has their own reasons for doing things, but this doesn't mean that you can trample on the rules." ”
The queen didn't continue the topic, she looked up in the direction of Meiling Academy and said, "How many years have you not taken me to Meiling?"
Emperor Tang was silent and did not speak.
The queen said calmly: "Since Li Laizhi's death, you have never spoken a word to me again. ”
The four grandmasters stared slightly, everyone in the world knew that the emperor loved the queen very much, so he also favored King Wu the most, but now the queen actually said that they had not spoken to each other for more than 20 years.
Tang Huang said: "We used to say too much, so we should say less now." ”
The queen withdrew her gaze from Meiling and asked, "You want to kill me?"
Emperor Tang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I should have killed you twenty-three years ago." ”
The queen's eyes were full of sarcasm: "A person who threw the whole country to the crown prince for his own selfish desires, what qualifications do you have to say about me?"
"The crown prince is the future emperor, and it is normal to hand over the country to him. ”
"What is that Wenxuan?"
"He is the king of Wu. ”
"What if he also wants to be emperor?"
"Only the crown prince is the emperor. ”
Hearing Emperor Tang's words, the people around him were all slightly pale.
This is the first time that His Majesty has spoken so bluntly about the choice of the throne in front of so many people.
The queen's face was a little pale, and the phoenix clothes on her body dimmed a little: "You still can't forget her." ”
Tang Huang was silent and did not speak.
There were people coming in and out of the palace constantly, and the officials in the East Palace ran towards the Fengyi Hall like crazy at the moment.
Li Xianyi walked at the forefront, after the treatment of the grass saint, his body has recovered a little, although his cultivation has not recovered, but now his physique is far better than ordinary people.
He walked at the forefront, Yang Xueping, Yang Feihong, Chen Yanyan, Yan Hui, Xu Ziji and others were on his side, and hundreds of officials followed at the end.
Their arrival caught everyone's attention, and everyone looked back.
His eyes fell on looking around the audience, and finally fell on Li Xianyi's body, and then fell into his arms.
Li Wenxuan, the king of Wu, lay on his arms.
has long been lifeless, even if it is a grass saint, even if it is a holy medicine doctor, there are people in the world who can't be saved after all.
Just as he couldn't heal Xue Hongyi's injuries, the Grass Sage couldn't pull back the people who had already died.
The moment he saw this scene, Li Xiu had already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and knew the reason why the city protection array was broken, so he also fell silent, remembering the young man who was pruning flowers and plants in the house when he was in Jincheng.
Li Wenxuan's choice was beyond his expectations, he never thought that King Wu would do this.
Because King Wu is not Li Xianyi.
But having said that, it's not because he and Li Wenxuan are not familiar with each other and don't know each other, so he can't make the most correct judgment.
The queen looked at Li Wenxuan, who was hugged by Li Xianyi, although she had expected it for a long time, but when this scene really appeared in front of her, she still couldn't accept it.
"Xuan'er respects you the most, and he is the most like you, he will be a good emperor, but you chose the wrong person. ”
The queen's body trembled, and her voice trembled.
Emperor Tang didn't speak, he might have a lot to say, but the moment he saw Li Wenxuan's corpse, all his words had turned into nothingness.
People living in this world always need to endure a lot of life and death, we can't change anything, all we can do is adapt.
Constantly adapting to all changes.
The ten Yin Cao Snow Country Grandmasters in the sky suddenly began to move, and the ten people combined together to launch an attack on the hundred officials on the ground at the same time, and immediately retreated and rushed towards the sky.
The attack of ten people was terrifying, enough to kill all the officials, but there was no fear on the faces of the hundred officials, and no one even took a step back.
Canglongwei Liu Boliang stood up, but he had no intention of making a move.
Mr. Chen also looked up at the sky, motionless.
Because Emperor Tang is here, he naturally doesn't need others to do more.
The attack that fell on the head was terrifying, but Tang Huang just looked up, his eyes rippled, the sky gave birth to waves, and all the attacks disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
Emperor Tang looked at the ten people who were scattered and fled, indifference was born in his calm eyes, he raised his hand, and a giant dragon appeared between heaven and earth.
It was a real dragon, a big enough dragon.
Just one dragon head can beat the entire Chang'an City, and the dragon tail is even more nowhere to go, even if it is pierced through the sky, it can't be seen where the dragon tail is.
Only the huge body rolled and spread endlessly.
That is the dragon luck of the Tang Dynasty, it is the dragon luck that the Tang Emperor can control, and in the Tang Kingdom, the most powerful thing is this dragon vein luck.
The dragon's body obscured the sky and disappeared in a flash.
From the moment it appears to the time it disappears, it is only a momentary time.
After an instant, the dragon disappeared, and the figures of the ten Snow Country Yin Cao Grandmasters who rushed into the sky and fled in all directions disappeared, and the sky was clear, only the snow that was better than goose feathers was still falling.
This was the first time in 20 years that the Tang Emperor showed his strength.
Since the first time since the retreat, Mr. Chen's eyes were full of respect, and at the same time, he was more sure of his speculation, if it weren't for this matter, I am afraid that Emperor Tang would not show up before entering the Six Realms.
The officials knelt on the ground, and some even cried bitterly, after this great change, Datang thought that it would decline or change, but in the end it was back on the right path, how could people not be excited?
Not excited?
If the cries of the officials are removed, the palace is indeed very quiet at this moment.
The ground was covered with a thin layer of snow at first, but as time went on and the snow continued to fall, the snow in the palace gradually covered the surface of the feet.
Many grandmasters stood around and waited for Emperor Tang's next arrangement.
The battle in the Northland continues all along.
Xuzhou City is the line of life and death, there is a possibility of being broken at any time, it can be said that every moment of the current time is very precious, and there is no room for delay.
It is best to be able to give all the orders as soon as possible, so that Cui Yasi can move as quickly as possible.
As long as Cui Yasi, who controls the Tang Orient, takes the lead, then the entire Tang Kingdom will run as fast as pulling the whole body.
Everyone knew that time was precious, but no one was urging anything.
Because the queen is still alive, because the queen is still standing here.
She fell from the sky and stood face to face with Emperor Tang.
The two were silent with each other, neither of them taking the lead.
The queen used the city protection array to seal the Tang Emperor in the retreat, and carved a special magic circle outside the retreat, and used the Absolute Spirit Stone, which is the most peculiar stone in heaven and earth, which can block all spiritual power fluctuations.
Such stones are rare and impractical, as the Absolute Spirit Stone is so fragile that even an ordinary person can break it.
However, the Absolute Spirit Stone was arranged around the retreat room, and the Great Protective Array suppressed the Tang Emperor, and the Tang Emperor could not use his spiritual power, and he could not penetrate the Absolute Spirit Stone if he wanted to use the handprint that controlled the Great Array.
That's why they were suppressed in a place of retreat and couldn't get out.
Until the big array was closed, Emperor Tang smashed the Absolute Spirit Stone and walked out of the secret room, standing in front of the Fengyi Palace. The snowflakes fell to the ground one by one, shattered into several petals on the shoulders and then landed on their clothes, and the two of them stood facing each other as they had done back then.
Cao Sheng came over and gave Li Xiu a medical world, the medical world could not cure Xue Hongyi, but it was not difficult to treat Li Xiu.
Almost as soon as he took it, Li Xiu's injuries began to improve rapidly.
His pale face regained its blood, and he rose from the ground and raised his hand to dust off the snow from his body.
Then a man crashed into his arms.
Li Xiu's hands hung down at his sides, and after a moment, he raised it and patted the person on the back.
This is Mo Qinghuan.
From the moment the big array broke, Mo Qinghuan began to rush here non-stop, she was always worried about what happened to Li Xiu, and now that the heart that hung after meeting was finally completely put back.
She hugged Li Xiu and didn't say anything, but it was worth a thousand words.
Moments later, the two separated.
Li Xiu raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face and asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Mo Qinghuan said: "Fourth Uncle, Second Master Murong and Feng Zu have already rushed to Xuzhou City, and the people from the Academy and Qingjiao Division should also arrive, and the entire rivers and lakes are heading to Xuzhou City." ”
Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Xuzhou City has not been broken yet, indeed, with Liang Xiaodao, Xuzhou City is not so easy to break.
The news of Xuzhou City was not bad, but there was no joy on his face, because he knew that there were two more life-and-death battles in the northern and southern snow fields, and the news there never came back.
After a moment of silence, he walked towards Li Xianyi.
The two glanced at each other, they knew each other very well, no matter how much they said, they didn't need to say it directly, and they knew each other's thoughts with one look at each other.
"I thought about many possibilities, but I never thought that he would be the one who would solve these problems in the end. ”
He looked down at Li Wenxuan and said softly.
Li Xianyi: "It is precisely because no one has thought about it that he can break the game." ”
For Zhibai and the queen, all the people are in the game, they have calculated all the possible variables, except Li Wenxuan, and it is he who finally breaks the game.
After all, the world is unpredictable, and no matter how smart a person is, he can't really calculate everything.
Li Xiu didn't know what to say, his relationship with King Wu was not good, and he didn't have any sadness about his death, but human emotions were very complicated, not only happiness and sadness.
He felt pity and admiration.
The crown prince and King Wu are both very good people, and Cui Yasi once sighed that it would be great if Emperor Tang had only one son.
But now it seems that it is precisely because of the existence of both of them that the world can have such feelings, which is an indispensable thing.
"What did he have to say before he died?"
"He said he would be a good emperor. ”
Li Xiu nodded lightly, this seems to be true now, a prince who can sacrifice himself to complete the country will naturally be a good emperor.
patted Li Xianyi on the shoulder and said, "You will also be a good emperor." ”
Li Xian glanced at him and continued: "He also said that he didn't want to be buried in the imperial tomb after death. ”
Li Xiu frowned and said, "Meiling?"
Li Xianyi shook his head: "Northland." ”
Li Xiu was silent for a while, and then said, "After this incident, you personally sent him to the North Land and buried him next to my father. ”
Li Xian said: "I'll go after this matter, it's late." ”
Li Xiu looked at him with inquiry.
The crown prince explained: "Now that the matter of Chang'an City has been resolved, my father and queen don't know how to deal with it, and I am still in charge of the country, so my words are still very useful, and I will go back to the East Palace to draw up a few holy decrees, mobilize the troops of Chen Liucheng, Sijiu City, Baiyang Mansion, Qishan County, Jincheng and other places to support Xuzhou City, and then I will leave for the North." ”
It's fast, and there's no preparation.
What's more, his cultivation has not yet recovered, but this is what Li Xianyi wants to do, because this is what Li Wenxuan wanted to do before he died.
He wants to go to the Northland to level the snow country, so he will go to the northland to level the snow country with his will.
If this is Li Wenxuan's last wish, Li Xianyi wants to fulfill it.
Li Xiu nodded, his frowning brows furrowed.
In fact, Chang'an City doesn't need to issue too many instructions, because the people below will naturally do it.
Chang'an City only needs to tell the world one thing, that is, the danger of Chang'an is solved, the grandmasters of Snow Country and Yin Cao are all killed in battle, and the Tang Emperor will personally dispatch the world when he goes out.
That's it.
Gently lowering Li Wenxuan to the ground, Li Xianyi stepped forward and hugged Li Xiu, and said softly: "I have what I want to do, and you have what you want to do." ”
Li Xiu didn't speak, watching him turn around and leave.
Yang Feihong and Yan Hui Xu Ziji turned around and left together, and Li Xian drafted a will and needed them to discuss and operate together.
Yang Xueping did not leave with him, but stayed by Ying Zi'an's side, they were close friends, and it was normal for Ying Zi'an to stay and take care of him when he was injured at this moment.
"There are always surprises in this world. ”
Chen Yanyan stood beside him, looked up at the drifting snow in the sky, and said softly.
Li Xiu said: "This world is very big, who can really count everything?"
Chen Yanyan said: "Where are you going next?"
Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "Let's go see someone first, and then go to Xuzhou City." ”
Chen Yanyan looked at him with a little surprise and curiosity: "Who are you going to meet?"
You must know that now, the danger of Chang'an City has been solved, and the most important thing at the moment is to solve the affairs of Xuzhou City, after all, Xuzhou City is now facing the attack of tens of millions of desolate people and dozens of Five Realm Grandmasters, and it can be said that there is a risk of destruction of the city all the time.
And in the face of such an important matter, before that, he had to meet someone.
What kind of person would that be?
Chen Yanyan was curious.
Li Xiu looked at the Tang Emperor and the Empress who were standing in front of the Fengyi Palace, and was silent and did not answer.
What the queen has done has touched all the bottom lines.
This caused Li Wenxuan's death.
Emperor Tang's favorite is Li Wenxuan, and you can imagine what kind of storm is hidden under that calm face at this moment.
The snow kept falling, and flakes fell around the two of them.
Emperor Tang raised his hand, the dragon robe on his body hunted, the sound of a dragon's groan was hidden in his body, and his long hair was flying.
The officials fell to their knees and did not dare to raise their heads.
The queen's eyes were filled with tears, her body was lying on the ground, and the hem of her phoenix dress was scattered, like a fire lotus.
The snow in the sky was still falling, getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to bury all the filth of the whole world.
Li Xiu turned around and walked out of the palace.
Mo Qinghuan followed quietly behind him.
