Chapter 257: The Decisive Battle of the Royal Capital (5)
The Nine Spirits True Monarch is not a person who does not know good and evil, he was originally able to distinguish between good and evil. But because of his obsession with the queen and the control of the baby distorted his spirit, he became indistinguishable from right and wrong, and blatantly made enemies of Li Yan and others.
Xiao Hongyu's death made him feel guilty, and his conscience was awakened, and his sanity was restored. He picked up the little red jade and lamented: "Girl, ......" There was not a single tear in his eyes, but his voice was full of grief, and even the listener felt sour.
Miyuki didn't know how to comfort her, and gently patted Jiuling Zhenjun on the back.
Jiuling Zhenjun vented for a long time and said to the two: "You are right, I was deceived before. Ayu was wrong, and she was wrong again and again. Not only did I not admonish her, but I aided in the abuse, and I was also a sinner.
As you know, this city was built with the blood of millions of people, and it should not exist in the world. My homeland, the country of Su Shen in memory, is over, and it has long been destroyed.
This is his fate. I tried again and again to change my fate, but it made it uglier and uglier. I'm tired, and it's supposed to be dead. β
Miyuki asked, "Old man, what is the queen's weakness?"
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "Ayu is just an ordinary woman, and what is powerful is her child." The baby who didn't grow up was meticulous in carrying out Ayu's will. If I were to say, he has no weaknesses, and is even more powerful than the gods. β
Li Yan and Miyuki glanced at each other and said in unison, "Then aren't we helpless?"
The Nine Spirits True Monarch shook his head.
"Although the strength of the baby is hard to match, you do not necessarily have to fight him. β
"Oh, what's that going on?" asked Li Yanjing.
"The baby has been asleep. As you know, the entire king is his body, and in order to maintain this huge body, he naturally needs sleep to replenish his strength. It can be said that expansion and cannibalism are all his physiological reactions, which are all completed in his sleep. You can only kill him without waking him up. β
"What if he wakes up?" asked Li Yan.
"Wake up...... Once he opens those silver eyes, all your efforts will be doomed to failure, for his ability is to control the actions of others.
Even the strongest of wills could not have kept their sanity under the gaze of those eyes. He doesn't even need to see you, he just needs to open his eyes and take away your body.
It's like you've become a marionette, at the mercy of people. You watch yourself do things against your will, just like you look at someone else. β
Li Yan was silent for a long time: "Then I will get rid of it even more." β
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "It's easy to say when your lips touch, but this thing is not much better than planting a lotus in the fire, and I don't know how many accidents and obstacles you will encounter along the way...... Besides, I don't know where he is, and I can't help you in any way. β
Miyuki said, "I know where he is." He is the seed of the great tree of the royal capital, lurking in the dark soil. I saw him sink directly below the throne. β
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "Since this is the case, I don't have anything to say, so you can give it a go." Just remember never to let his eyes open. Once the baby opens his eyes, there is no one in the world who can be his opponent. Alas, life and death are fateful, and there is only so much I can explain to you. β
After saying that, he stroked Xiao Hongyu's face with his dry hand.
"Girl, grandpa is sorry for you. Grandpa takes you home. β
He picked up Xiao Hongyu and walked in the opposite direction of Li Yan and them, but after a dozen steps, he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "If possible, please don't kill the queen, she is also a hard worker...... Of course, it's just a request. Without looking back, his back gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Where will he bury the little red jade, and how will he atone for his sins?
At this time, a groan suddenly came from the ground, and the two of them saw that it was Murong Zhao. He coughed violently, and the wound in his chest was no longer bleeding.
In fact, his injuries were not as serious as they seemed.
Li Ren hurriedly helped him up: "General Murong, how are you?"
Murong Zhao smiled weakly: "Damn, it hurts." But it doesn't matter, I can still play. β
Li Yan and Miyuki looked in the direction of Jiuling Zhenjun's departure again, maybe his heart was wavering from the beginning.
Regardless, the three of them finally overcame the obstacles. Exports are also getting closer.
After walking for a few more miles, the passage suddenly became narrow and steep, and the surrounding area turned from wet mud to hard rock. Murong Zhao waved his hand lightly: "Be careful, the palace has arrived." β
Li Yan asked, "Is there anyone outside the main hall or the side hall?"
Murong Zhao listened attentively: "Tell you good news, we are right below the throne ......" Suddenly he frowned and lowered his voice: "Shhh
Li Yan and Miyuki immediately held their breath and stared, and sure enough, a faint voice came from overhead, it was a man and a woman talking.
"Why have the Huns been making such a fuss lately, and have you found out why?" the woman asked. Her voice was gentle and solemn, and all three of them had heard it, and it was the Queen of Buliugu.
I only heard a male voice reply: "Your Majesty's back, although the reason behind it is not clear, but the minister understands that Hugh Geshan Yu does not seem to have the will to go to war. On the contrary, the Ziyun clan, who has always advocated Huairou, tried his best to fight. I wonder if I was instigated by others...... Or know something. β
"Okay, keep looking. Next. β
"Yes!" the man said.
Li Yan suddenly asked Murong Zhao softly: "General, do you know this person?"
Murong Zhao shook his head: "I don't know." It's a very raw voice, I've never heard it before. Maybe it's a new close minister after I'm gone. β
The man continued: "The case of Li Yan and his comrades who were captured by the demon soldiers a few days ago has not yet been concluded, do you want to send some more people to continue the follow-up investigation?"
The queen seemed to ponder for a moment, and then replied, "No, scabies is not enough to worry about." The only people who can pose a threat to us at the moment are the Huns. Let all the demon soldiers rush to the front line, and be sure to kill the Huns until they are afraid. Fate, right?"
"Yes!"
"What else?"
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Motion Instrument has found ......"
Li Yan was shocked, the Heavenly Motion Instrument is a ferry boat that shuttles through time and space, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, how can it go back?
The queen instructed: "Quickly move it to the Qin Heavenly Prison, and send more people to study it." At this time, it is confidential and must not be leaked. I, the Prudent Country, must not only be the empire of today, but also the empire of tomorrow, the empire of thousands of years!"
The official naturally can't help but sing the praises of virtue, which is nothing more than a clichΓ© like His Majesty's Shengming. Reading nests
The queen obviously listened too much every day, and interrupted impatiently: "Okay, is there anything else?"
The minister said: "Your Majesty, the last thing: 'That person' Weichen has found ......"
"What? so fast!" the Woman King's voice was originally extremely calm, but this sentence seemed to tremble a little with excitement.
The man said: "This is Your Majesty's blessing and heavenly blessing." At this moment, 'that man' is on his way to the royal capital under your personal escort. It is estimated that it will arrive tonight. β
There was a long silence in the hall, and I don't know what the expression on the queen's face was. After a long time, I only heard her say: "Very good, this errand is beautiful." All participants will be promoted to the next level. As for you...... Report to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow and take your red robe. β
But the man did not seem to be very happy, and replied, "The minister is only willing to die for His Majesty." Rewards and other things do not dare to hope for extravagance. β
The Queen's voice became slouched: "Alright, no discussion. Kneel down. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the minister's boots made a gentle grinding sound on the ground, and the queen seemed to be the only one left in the hall. I heard her seem to say to herself: "My son, you can finally become whole, do you know how long you have been waiting for this day for your mother......"
Li Yanyi frowned, what the queen said seemed to be related to the baby, but the specific inside story could not be judged from these few words.
When he was in doubt, he saw Murong Zhao wave his hand downward, signaling him and Mixue to lie down. Li Yan reacted quickly and immediately pressed Miyuki down. I only heard the evil wind behind them, and a heavy arm-like thing swept over their heads and slapped the stone wall next to them. There was a thud, and the surrounding trembled slightly. The three of them peeked at it, and it turned out to be a rattan thicker than a sea bowl. It was covered with spikes and wriggled from side to side like an earthworm.
The giant vine missed, but did not pursue. Instead, he held his head high upward, as if sensing a change in the air. Needless to say, this thing must have no vision, and can only judge the position of a person by human voices and vibrations.
All three were smart people, and it didn't take long for them to think of this at the same time. They all shut their mouths in unison.
After surveying for a while, the strange vine confirmed that it was no one, and quietly retreated into the gap next to the passage.
Miyuki grabbed Li Yan's hand and wrote in his appreciation, "I know what this is. These are the baby's tentacles, parts of his body. β
Li Yan was taken aback, and his expression seemed to ask: How is it possible?
"I've seen it. Miyuki continued. "When the baby is just born. β
In this way, the appearance of rattan means that the baby is already on the verge of noticing that someone is intruding. It can't be delayed any longer.
Murong Zhao waved his mouth, and then pointed to the bottom of the tunnel, meaning: Let's find it together.
They were about to leave without a sound, but they tripped over something. Li Yan and Murong Zhao naturally jumped up gently, but Meixue fell to the ground.
The strange vine has been in front of them since then.
I heard the Queen's exclamation overhead, "Who's down?"
The three of them immediately stopped, and looked nervously at the exit.
The top was actually sealed, but the little light leaking through the gap gave the passage some light.
The queen spoke no more, and the footsteps were gone. I don't know if they were aware of the trio, or if they had forgotten about the sound as a hallucination, or if they had already taken some kind of countermeasure.
Suddenly, the floor collapsed with a thud. A dark figure landed silently, it was a man. I saw that he was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, and his demeanor was chic, as if he was a civil official, but he was wearing a military attache uniform. He drew with both hands, which seemed to hold two thin lines of shiny threads.
Now that it has come to this, there is no need to hide it anymore.
Li Remnant pulled out a single knife: "Who is Your Excellency?
The man smiled: "Ask me, my name is Xian Chenzi, and I am the general of the Wupin Army." But did you trespass into the palace with the intention of plotting evil?"
Li Yan knew that it was useless to hide, and it was better to admit it to Da Fangfang. So he replied proudly: "You are right, we are here to assassinate the queen." β
Xian Chenzi's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's really not a small courage, but he doesn't weigh his ability!"
Li Yan knew that this person was quite difficult to deal with when he looked at him. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Murong Zhao say: "Brother Li, slow down, I'll deal with this guy, and you guys go find the baby!"
Li Yan hesitated: "This ...... I'm afraid that's not safe. β
Murong Zhao said in a deep voice: "Don't forget your mission, getting rid of the baby is the first priority. Once he awakens, we all have no place to die, and we can only survive if we stop him before we do. Don't delay!"
Meixue also said: "General Murong is very right, let's go!"
Li struck his chest with one hand, didn't say anything, turned around and left. This is a solemn military salute, and all the meaning is in it.
The military attache named Xian Chenzi sneered: "What, just leave? I can't help but ignore people!" So with a wave of his hand, he threw out a few silk threads.
The sword light flickered, Murong Zhao rolled out a few threads with a single knife, and said coldly: "Boy, where are you looking? Your enemy is here!"
Xian Chenzi glanced at Murong Zhao up and down a few times, and said hatefully: "Murong Zhao, the former general of Su Shen State, is the highest military commander except for Her Majesty the Queen. You are not only in a high position, but also received the emperor's grace, and won the title of crown prince and young protector in your early years.
Hehe, it can be said that as long as the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly, you will be the emperor's teacher.
But who would have thought that even such a person would betray Her Majesty and do things inside and out. I don't know if you, a thief, still know how to be loyal and patriotic?"
In the face of his reprimand, Murong Zhao was completely ashamed, and the big lama's eyes looked at the sky and said: "You know a fart? The Queen of Buliugu is already crazy, do you have to be loyal to her? You are loyal to a madman, and you carry out her crazy plan every day, where do you put the Jiangshan Sheji? A child's opinion, extremely absurd!"
Xian Chenzi said angrily: "What a sharp mouth, I didn't expect the general to have a good kung fu in his hands, but his mouth kung fu is even more powerful!"
Murong Zhao laughed: "Boy, then don't talk nonsense, see you below!"
Xian Chenzi said: "Wait." General Murong, I'm in intelligence, so I know your abilities very well. Once you touch the moonlight, you can turn into a fierce werewolf, and there is probably no rival in the whole country.
Of course, you know that the dome of the main hall is transparent, and now that the moon is in the middle of the sky, you can transform into the main hall and kill me easily.
To put it bluntly, you and I both know that the key to this battle is whether you can break out of the passage and enter the main hall. In this way, the problem is simple. General Murong, we are all decent people, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Murong Zhao said: "Lao Tzu likes to bet the most in his life. When I gambled, I was afraid that you would still wear open crotch pants. Say, what's the gambling method?"
Xian Chenzi suddenly took out an hourglass from his sleeve and placed it on the ground: "Before this hourglass is finished, as long as you can cut a silk thread in my hand, you will win." How?"
Before the words fell, a knife light suddenly struck. Murong Zhao didn't stop for a moment in his hand, and sneered: "Okay, Lao Tzu has gambled!"
