Chapter 227: Gathering
Snow Abyss City, night.
Under the lonely moonlight, the city that had experienced a day of war looked extremely dilapidated and desolate. Wisps of smoke rose from the ruins from time to time, and the occasional sound of babies crying and scolding was mixed in, reflecting the decay and chaos of the city at the moment.
A group of well-equipped Great Zhou sergeants were patrolling back and forth along the inside and outside of Xueyuan City, their eyes full of vigilance.
......
In the Great Zhou Palace, in the Xueyang Palace, Ji Mu, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sat solemnly on the dragon chair.
On the left and right sides of Ji Mu's head are more than a dozen officials dressed in civil and military costumes.
And a middle-aged scribe in a Confucian robe turned his hands behind his back, ranking first among all officials, it was the commander of Tianqiwei, Gongsun Mubai.
A young man dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying a black box on his back was standing on the right side of Gongsun Mubai with his hands down, it was Xiao Yin.
Sweeping the next group of people one by one, Ji Mu finally stopped his gaze on Xiao Yin, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Ji Mu's mouth.
"Today's battle in the city is all thanks to Zhu Qing. not only guarded the safety of the palace, but also took the entire Snow Abyss City in one fell swoop. I was overjoyed. Ji Mu stroked the dragon chair gauntlet, looked at everyone again, and said with a faint smile.
"My emperor descended from the sky, and he was blessed by God, and the conspiracy of the big gold thief was tantamount to a clown who jumped off the beam to bring humiliation on himself. I am all united in my big week, and naturally there is nothing to do. I think that since the founding of this dynasty, this Xueyuan City has been ruled by my Great Zhou and the gold thieves, and this situation has lasted for more than hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, this time, His Majesty sat in the palace alone with a body of ten thousand gold, and if the command was determined, we would dare to die to repay Your Majesty. Your Majesty's courage and courage are really rare through the ages, and it is also a blessing for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
A gray-haired old civil servant bowed, shook his head and praised in a hoarse voice.
In the end, he fell to his knees and shouted long live from his mouth.
Puff puff.
Everyone immediately fell to their knees, and a long live of praise began to rise and fall.
Gongsun Mubai listened to the sound of sycophants like a wave behind him, his eyes narrowed, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, Gongsun Mubai flicked the sleeves of his robe and snorted lightly.
The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to the officials.
In an instant, the main hall, which was still in chaos, immediately fell silent.
The eyes of these officials were focused on the Tianqi Guard Commander in front of him, who only left a back for everyone.
Everyone's backs couldn't help but cool, and their eyes unconsciously showed a trace of deep awe.
Gongsun Mubai raised his hands and bowed slightly to Ji Mu: "Your Majesty, Xueyuan City was able to return to the rule of the Great Zhou this time, not only because God blessed my Great Zhou, but also because all the soldiers worked hard to the death. ”
Saying that, Gongsun Mubai paused slightly, deliberately slowed down his speech and said: "Moreover, the reason why the palace was preserved today, and the reason why the battle of Xueyuan City was able to win a great victory, there is one person who has absolutely contributed to it, and I hope that Your Majesty will learn from it." ”
"Oh, who is the person Brother Mu Bai is talking about?" asked Ji Mu with interest.
The officials who were kneeling on the ground pricked up their ears motionlessly.
Gongsun Mubai glanced at Xiao Yin, who had been silent beside him, and said, "This person is my Qilin envoy of the Tianqi Guard, Xiao Yin, Xiao Envoy." ”
Everyone was taken aback, and then they noticed that there was a young man standing next to Gongsun Mubai who was dressed so simply and seemed to be inconspicuous.
This person is actually the Qilin envoy of the most mysterious Tianqiwei in the Great Zhou?
Looking at Xiao Yin's young and immature face, everyone really couldn't associate it with Tianqiwei.
For a while, even the broom attendants in the hall couldn't help but stare at Xiao Yin curiously.
Facing countless curious and shocked eyes, Xiao Yin seemed to ignore it, still standing with his hands down, and did not speak.
However, Ji Mu laughed and said, "What a Qilin envoy! I knew that it was absolutely right for me to bring you with me. ”
Ji Mu immediately looked at Xiao Yin and said, "And I heard Brother Mu Bai say that the reason why the black-armored iron cavalry raided the palace this time was that the palace could be arranged in advance to block the surprise attack." Thanks to the Qing family's wisdom like a torch, insight into the conspiracy of the gold thief, and timely sent someone to inform the Tianqi guard in the palace, this saved the palace from a difficulty, otherwise everyone in the palace is afraid that everyone in the palace will become a ghost under the sword of the gold thief. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yin's expressions and couldn't help but change a few times again.
Xiao Yin lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty and Lord Gongsun praise falsely, it's just luck, it's just a coincidence." ”
Gongsun Mubai smiled: "If you talk about luck, why doesn't this seat have such luck?"
Gongsun Mubai pointed to the large area of people lying behind him, and said lightly: "Why don't they have that luck?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they didn't dare to breathe immediately.
Gongsun Mubai stared at Xiao Yin and said: "When the Black Armor Death Rider sneaked into the city from the secret passage underground, it was the time when the second covenant broke down and the city was in turmoil, at this time, there was no shortage of Rakshasa sect masters in the city, and peerless masters such as the Twelve Brakes of the Dark Sky were rampant in the city. Such wisdom and courage are beyond the imagination of ordinary mediocre people!"
Xiao Yin looked at Gongsun Mubai's direct gaze, blinked, and finally did not speak.
Ji Mu stroked his palms and praised: "It's really wonderful! I didn't expect that the Nine Dragons Coffin Guards would bring such characters to me, it's really an unexpected joy." Brother Mu Bai's eyes are like a torch, and he is very relieved to appreciate people's merits. ”
Saying that, Ji Mu looked at the kneeling people below, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "In the future, Zhuqing must be set by Brother Mu Bai and Special Envoy Xiao, and do their best for the imperial court, so as to live up to my expectations." ”
When the officials heard this, they quietly glanced at each other, and then shouted long live with great tacit understanding.
"Alright, let's all step aside. ”
Ji Mu waved his hand a little impatiently, and immediately, a group of officials, guards, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids retreated and left the hall with interest.
In the Shaoyang Palace, there were only Ji Mu, Gongsun Mubai and Xiao Yin left.
"Alright, Mr. Yan, come out. ”
Ji Mu suddenly patted the gauntlet of the dragon chair and said slowly.
The figure flashed, and a tall figure in a dark cloak appeared behind Ji Mu.
It is the lord of the underworld, Dao Yan.
Seeing Dao Yan appear, Ji Mu's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked around at the people: "Okay, now there is no one else, and everyone's polite words will be waived." Now I'd like to hear your thoughts on all that is happening in Snow Abyss City today?"
