Chapter 188: The Dark Tide is Surging
Proud Sword slowly looked at Lin Chunxi, "It's too late, everything can't go back, don't you understand, Shenjian Villa and Cave Blessed Land have all been involved in it, and now there is only success or failure, there is no right or wrong."
Lin Chunxi wanted to speak and stopped, he was powerless to refute Aojian's words, he was right, but he didn't want to face this problem head-on, the current situation was actually very bad, the momentum of Shenjian Villa was difficult to ride a tiger, when Li Shanyuan was eyeing them, this once mysterious Jianghu sect had been forced to come to the front of the stage, and the cave blessed land where he was located seemed to be more entangled than the Divine Sword Villa, he and Li Xiaoyao were in the same camp, but Li Shanyuan was also a disciple of the cave blessed land, and he brought his party to the capital, so that everyone fell into this storm Zheng
Lin Chunxi had no way to answer Ao Jian's words, because he somewhat agreed. Ao Jian looked at his younger brother Ao Kui's sword, and then said to Lin Chunxi, "You and I are our own masters, presumably if it is you who die, Ao Kui will also ignore my dissuasion, and will definitely return your sword to the Eight Kings' Mansion, this is a war, either you die or I die, so I won't blame you", then, Ao Jian took a heavy breath and looked at Lin Chunxi, "You go, I won't embarrass you, at least today, there won't be a person from Shenjian Villa who will attack you", that's it, Ao Jian turned around and left, and entered the prince's mansion without looking back.
With Proud Sword leaving, Lin Chunxi felt that the vigilance against him around the Prince's Mansion seemed to have weakened a lot, and the murderous aura that had been ready to move gradually subsided, it seemed that those masters of the Divine Sword Villa who were ambushed in the dark had received Proud Sword's order and wanted to let Lin Chunxi go back now.
Lin Chunxi actually felt very sorry for these people in Shenjian Villa, they were completely involuntary, committed to Shenjian Villa, they had to do things for the villa, Nuoda Shenjian Villa was coerced and lured to the capital by the prince Li Shanyuan, and they were also forced to play the role of cannon fodder, life is like duckweed, and many things can't be decided by themselves.
Lin Chunxi thought of this, and felt that it was time to go back, from the time he left the prince's mansion to see Zhu Yehong, who was waiting for his return, no one stopped him along the way, and now, on the streets of the capital, there was a rare trace of calm, but all this was indeed exchanged for a lot of blood donations.
However, in the imperial city, it is not so peaceful, for several days, there is not a trace of loosening the martial law specification order in the forbidden palace, the forbidden soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding swords have been patrolling all night, and nothing can be seen from outside the imperial city, but it has been replaced by a high degree of vigilance inside, and everyone can't figure out what is happening, what is on guard, only know that this is an order from the palace, as for which person in the palace gave the order, but no one understands.
The queen has been very anxious these days, because the order of martial law in the palace did not come from her mouth, and the vigilance around Fengyi Palace has been gradually strengthened, she didn't care at the beginning, and thought it was because of the dispute between the prince and the eighth prince in the capital, but after two, the queen found out that something was wrong, and the generals of the forbidden army who were very familiar with her were no longer visible, and the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went in the past were all gradually changed, and the birds could no longer be heard around her Fengyi Palace, she knew that this was because Fengyi Palace had been besieged by heavy troops at this time, Teng's murderous aura makes the birds dare not approach easily.
After living in the palace for many years, the empress asked herself if she didn't let the emperor notice her inappropriateness, but the emperor, who had been calling herself sick for a long time, why he suddenly commanded the forbidden army to make such a large-scale action in the imperial city at this time, it is really puzzling. The four palace maids around her have all been injured, two of them are still seriously injured, and they have to vomit blood every day, although these four people are sent by the Demon Dao to monitor themselves, but after many years of getting along, several people have seen that they have some affection, seeing their painful state, the queen herself is also a little overwhelmed, and the most important thing is that over the years, the queen only believes in these four people, and all important things are done by these four people, but now there is no one in ten available people around her, so that she is also a little stretched.
What is the emperor's attitude, the queen can't guess at all, a thought has risen in her heart that makes her a little faintly afraid, this old man may not be sick at all, he just chose to go behind the scenes, quietly observe all Rao's reactions, and when the time is ripe, he may come back and clean up the mess with the momentum of destroying the ancient era. Could it be that he has been so good to himself all these years, and he is just acting, if he is really controlled by him, then this old Rao's scheming city government is too cold for Quan.
However, at this time, Fengyi Palace has been besieged, and there is no way for him to get any news, although there is no clear order to put him under house arrest, but the current momentum is like confinement, and his future life and death are all in the hands of the old emperor, but at this time, the palace outside seems to think that this is his own order, and no one knows that this old emperor has never relaxed the power in his hands for a moment.
In these capitals, the situation is very delicate, the whole country is preparing for the large-scale celebration of the two centennial of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the prince's mansion and the eight princes' mansion are inseparable in the city, the situation in the forbidden palace is confusing, all the Wu officials in the capital have chosen to be silent, some people are because they can't see the situation clearly, they choose to protect themselves, some people don't know how to deal with it, and they are forced to choose quiet, only the old Shangshu of the criminal department is still running up and down, leading his subordinates to explore the clues of the case of the City God Temple, but the officials have already known about the attack on the Eight Princes' Mansion, and no one dares to take this head easily at this time, I'm afraid that I don't know which faction I offended, and if I make a mistake, I won't be able to see the bright sun, so everyone also tacitly agrees to work and not contribute, on the surface, the criminal department yamen is busy with the hot court, but all the officials at the bottom are waiting, waiting for the final attitude in the palace, in their opinion, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, whoever is the emperor, listen to whom, since ancient times, officialdom is like this.
Taking advantage of this short period of calm, the Eight Princes' Mansion also seized the time to rest, and the guards of the Eight Princes' Mansion suffered heavy losses, and Lao Li also hurriedly mobilized people from outside the city to urgently enter the capital to enrich the strength of the Eight Princes' Mansion. The capital, which is a prosperous scene, is actually already a dark tide at this time.
