Chapter 556: The Second Day, Bad News
Gao Yangsong was awakened by a bad news.
Although he planned to wait in front of Yuerou's window last night, he couldn't bear Yuerou's repeated refusals, so he had to entrust her to Yin Caicai, just because he was worried about Yuerou's situation, and his sleep was not very good this night, so when the news came, he jumped up from the bed at once, grabbed the robe on the side, and rushed directly to the direction of Ziwei Palace.
The news was transmitted by Cao Renjie, and the source of that news was Luoyang, thousands of miles away.
The city of Luoyang fell.
Gao Yangsong never thought that Luoyang City would be captured by the rebels, what he could be sure of was that the rebels would attack Luoyang City unusually, which must have something to do with the unstable factors in Luoyang City.
The moment he heard the news, anger, heartache, doubt, and all kinds of emotions hit his heart at once.
For various reasons, Luoyang City was always the place that Gao Yangsong focused on, and it was actually taken by Gao Yangqi's rebels, which he really didn't expect.
Especially in Cao Renjie's brief statement, he heard about Cheng Ying's death.
Cao Renjie and Cheng Ying have always been at odds, and the relationship between the two can be described as incompatible, even if Gao Yangsong is present, the two of them will not hide their disgust for each other, but this time, Cao Renjie has no previous resentment in his words, only a helpless admiration.
Cheng Ying died on the battlefield.
According to the information written by Luoyang Taishou himself, at the beginning of the battle to defend the city, Cheng Ying suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and with the six soul-chasing orders that he was best at, he directly tore through the magic barrier opened by the cultivators of the Fa Sect within the rebels.
It's just that after that, there was no follow-up to that battle, and the information sent was only written here, and Luoyang Taishou's handwriting was urgent, as if he was racing against time, and the last stroke was not finished. You don't have to think about it to know how bad the situation on the battlefield was when Luoyang Taishou sent this information to the palace with the fastest Red Feather Goose.
Gao Yang Song couldn't imagine what had happened in this battle to defend the city in Luoyang that would have caused them to fall into such a critical situation in such a short period of time after the battle began, he could only be sure of one situation: the degree of shamelessness of the Holy Pavilion was much greater than he imagined.
And what made him even more concerned was why Cheng Ying appeared in Luoyang City, but soon he had an answer.
"I really underestimated you......"
Gao Yangsong gritted his teeth and rushed into the Ziwei Palace, looking at the rising sun gradually rising in the distance, waiting for today's court meeting restlessly.
The news of Luoyang was intercepted by Cao Renjie from the flying red feather goose, and after he saw it, he released the red feather goose again, and now this news should have already spread, and today's court meeting will inevitably be more difficult to deal with than yesterday.
......
In fact, just as Gao Yangsong thought, at today's court meeting, the officials who originally ran out of the Ziwei Hall happily yesterday had more or less worried looks on their faces, and when he directly explained what happened in Luoyang to all the officials, some officials even had horror on their faces.
He didn't announce the news that Yue Qingshuang was a traitor to the entire court, nor did he announce Yue Qingshuang's crime to the whole world, and now even if he arouses people's anger and fighting spirit, he can't do much in this battle.
Throughout the ages, there has been an unwritten rule in the battle between the human realm and the demon realm: cultivators are not allowed to be used in war, if one side uses it, the other side also has the right to use the power of cultivators, but then ordinary soldiers will suffer unjustified disasters, and in the battle array, the great cultivators on both sides will also suffer great losses, which will be uncomfortable for both sides.
But the role of cultivators in the war is also extremely high, especially the extremely good Dharma cultivators who are protected, the Gaoyang Dynasty has encountered no less than a hundred rebellions in the history of the Gaoyang Dynasty, and there are five cases that have almost succeeded, one of which has been attacked before the capital, they relied on the power of the three ninth-order great cultivators, but in the end they still failed, because the strength of the cultivators in the human world, seven points are in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance has always been a close comrade-in-arms of the imperial court, and it is almost wishful thinking to want to fight with the imperial court in the land of the human world。
But the current leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is Qiu Fengchun, this person is clear with Gao Yang Song of the Holy Pavilion, the foundation of long-term peace and stability in the human world has been shaken, compared to the panicked officials below, he is the one who has the most bottomless in his heart.
The horror of the Holy Pavilion is not well understood by people in the world, even after being seriously injured by Bai Wuxin's body and mind, he doesn't think that he has experienced the horror of the Holy Pavilion: back then, the master and the master killed Ling Xiao Peak, but the whole world was full of visions.
In the face of this kind of existence, whether it was the invincible Zhenshanwei or the strongest cultivators in the human world, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the ambition of the Holy Pavilion, not to mention that he didn't know how much the Holy Pavilion had invested in Gao Yangqi's rebels, in case of a few immortal-level powerhouses, the master and the mother were not there, and he could only be a motherless child.
So above the court, he immediately gave three orders.
First, recall the Leshan Sect as quickly as possible, so that it can return to the capital as soon as possible.
Second, transfer back the troops from all over the country, so that those who can rush to the capital can hurry up, and those who can't arrive try to avoid clashes with the rebels.
Third, send people to urge the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so that they can quickly make the response they should do: until now, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance have participated in the garrison of the human world, and those who have resisted the rebels are all sect cultivators or casual cultivators who have spontaneously stepped forward, and only a small number of them have the background of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
For the first two points, most of the officials in the DPRK and China expressed their opposition, it is true that the rebels almost never lose a battle, even a big city such as Luoyang, they were attacked by them in one day, but as long as Leshan Zong and his Zhenshan Guard were there, they still did not feel that they needed such passive resistance in the face of the rebels, and some military attachés with a stronger temper opposed it particularly fiercely.
Gao Yangsong couldn't explain anything to them, and when Sun Buchang and Gu Xingfan both euphemistically expressed their objections, he simply gritted his teeth and insisted on his opinion, and finally succeeded in letting these two orders be issued.
The first two orders caused a wave of confusion in the court, but the ministers were very unanimous in their opinion on the third one.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance had to be urged, after the rebels blocked the arrows of the defenders of the human realm through the light curtain for a long time, they could have used cultivators to participate in the war, but the Heavenly Dao Alliance had not moved now, which was really not very authentic.
This order successfully diverted the attention of the ministers, and Gao Yangsong breathed a sigh of relief, and wrote a letter in his own hand, asking people to send it to the Heavenly Dao Alliance quickly, and then ended today's court meeting.
After the officials left, Gao Yangsong let out a long breath.
He had to admit that he really couldn't be a qualified king, and he couldn't control the opinions of many officials below.
"How far can I go?"
Gao Yangsong muttered to himself, smiling with a bit of self-deprecation.
All he can do is to try his best to ensure that the military strength of the human world is not lost, and to press all the treasures in the capital, but he can't do anything about the people who have plagued Gao Yangqi along the way.
The so-called Holy Dragon of the Human Realm has been forced to such a point, which is really bleak.
Gao Yang Song let out a long breath and ran towards Yuerou's dormitory.
The situation in the human world is bad enough, and Yue Rou's side, he is just as worried.
It's just that when he came to the dormitory, he found that Yue Rou had tears on her face and a few silver needles stuck in her body, and Yin Caicai on the side was looking at her nervously, as if she was afraid of taking her eyes away an inch.
Yin Caicai heard the footsteps, and the whole person seemed to relax a little at once, but his back was still extremely tight.
Gao Yangsong asked, "What's the situation?"
Yin Caicai wiped the sweat off her face, and said with palpitations: "Sister Yue wants to commit suicide for some reason, I can only use this method to stop her." ”
Hearing this, Gao Yangsong's expression suddenly became much more solemn, and he motioned Yin Caicai to take off the silver needle inserted in her head, and asked, "Why?"
Tears rolled down Yuerou's eyes, she didn't speak, but Gao Yangsong already understood what he meant.
She has no shame to face him, let alone herself.
