Chapter 172 Breaking into the Imperial City Alone
Chapter 172
When there is no peace in the people's homes, you will be bloodied by a group of robbers who break into the door!
When you are poor and want to regain happiness with your own hands, some people treat you as a doll and bully you at will.
When your children are lost from the entrance of the village for no reason, and are occupied and oppressed, but you don't know where to go to complain, it is a matter of time before it erupts.
Unless you're scared out of your guts and cleansed your soul, you're left with a venerable body, living like a walking corpse.
The sky was extremely oppressive, there was no sunlight, only the north wind, cold! a cold that penetrated the bones!
Li Zhen and Ziyan rode wildly in the mountains one by one, they carried a heavy mission, at least at this moment, Li Zhen's heart was relaxed.
Purple smoke has completely penetrated the helplessness of the people in the world, and she has a mysterious and powerful power in her, but it has not completely burst out.
The two of them rode on flying horses in the mountains, until the two horses were too tired to run.
"Purple Smoke!" Li Zhen shouted at Purple Smoke, who was desperately brandishing a horsewhip.
Ziyan still hit the horse under him as hard as if he couldn't hear it, and the horse was so tired and exhausted that no matter how Ziyan hit, he couldn't take a galloping step.
"Purple smoke. Li Zhen flew over and hugged Ziyan off the horse.
"The horse can't run anymore!" Li Zhen whispered in Ziyan's ear, and he hugged Ziyan tightly and comforted her.
"Brother Zhen, the horse can't run, but we can't stop, right?" Ziyan looked at Li Zhen with an unusually resolute look.
"What do you want to do?" Li Zhen didn't know why Ziyan woke up, pulled a horse and galloped out, and he had to follow her, he thought that Ziyan had just killed someone, and he was depressed, so he accompanied her to ride around and release his depressed mood, who knows, Ziyan didn't stop as soon as he got on the horse.
"What are you doing? Brother Zhen, do you see it? Do these people still have a way to live? Along the way, human tragedies are always being staged, and I feel chilling!" Ziyan seemed unwilling to think about the things that gave her a headache and heartache.
"Do you think I'm really taking you out to see the scenery and relax? I'm letting you feel for yourself why I'm trying so hard, because there's worse and worse things going on in other parts of the world. Li Zhen heard Ziyan's voice that he could worry about the people, and he was naturally relieved, at least Ziyan could agree with what he had done.
"Then can we still stop, enter the capital and slaughter that dog emperor!" Ziyan looked at Li Zhen's eyes and said firmly.
"Ziyan, I understand your feelings, but this Liu Zhixiu is profound, you and I are not his opponents at all, and if you go, you will die in vain, Long Xiao's sacrifice is a living example, I don't want you to have another mistake. In fact, what Li Zhen said was also that what they couldn't break through was Liu Zhi's profound cultivation, and he was like a mountain that always pressed Li Zhen out of breath.
"Let's go back to the capital first. Ziyan said firmly to Li Zhen that her words and deeds at the moment have really changed too much from before.
Even her eyes always reveal an unusual firmness, and she is no longer the soft and weak lady she used to be.
There is only one force left in the capital, Wang Lang in the southeast, Zhao Heng in the southwest, Qin Ping in the northeast, and the mountains and forests that day, all of which are like big waves and sand.
Liu Zhi is proud of the world, he is complacent, and there is no one in the world to compete with him.
When the iron horses fell in a pool of blood, when the shouts disappeared into the clouds, the drama of you singing and our singing stopped.
The people seem to have found peace that they have not seen for a long time, and the people who have left their lives have begun to live a busy life.
After all, no matter who sits in the position of ruler, the life of the people seems to be unchanged, still for eating, going out early and returning late, there must be a group of great people behind the great history, they are the real masters of this land, thousands of ant-like lives are reluctant to work day and night to struggle, the achievement of the historical footsteps of human beings to continue to advance.
Many farmland estates outside the capital have become unclaimed under the devastation of the war, and the barren land makes people feel desolate at once.
"Brother Zhen, look!" Ziyan pointed to the forest in front of her.
"Uh-huh! We're home. Li Zhen also saw the woods where they lived, and it was a matter of time to return here again, and people couldn't help but sigh.
The two returned to the stone cave together, Emperor Wuling had already disappeared, looking at the dust on the table, it seemed that he had disappeared after Li Zhen and them disappeared.
"That Wuling, really is an unreliable person!" Li Zhen said as he touched the dust on the table with his hand.
"Brother Zhen, I'll clean up here, you go to the capital to buy some daily things, and by the way, inquire about the news!" Ziyan's problem of listening to Li Zhen in everything has finally changed, and now Li Zhen still has to listen to her, and the posture of a strong woman makes Li Zhen somewhat impressed.
This woman has to go out and see for a long time if she is fine, and if she stays at home all the time, she will give you a small belly every day and a number of trivial things, why don't you care about me anymore, you don't love me anymore, your heart has changed, you only care about your own affairs and so on The troubles are entangled in you, even this otherworldly purple smoke is not exempt from vulgarity.
"Okay, Your Majesty Queen!" Li Zhen said with a respectful bow.
"Go to the side, who is the queen? You don't know which queen you're thinking about?" Ziyan slapped Li Zhen's arched hand down, and grinned, but the smile hadn't changed, it was still so sweet and sincere, even the queen would probably be a little shy in front of her lover.
Li Zhen walked into the capital alone, still without guards, many places in the outer city were devastated by the war, broken and dilapidated, and the desolation outside the city had spread to the city.
None of the shops in the forest are intact, there are pedestrians on the road, there are a few old men who sell livestock in this once prosperous capital leisurely waiting for the buyer, here used to be the teahouse where the dignitaries came to see the play, now the people go to the building is empty, the building is actually about to collapse. The building is now covered with hay on the ground, I don't know where a group of beggars came from, maybe they are the former dignitaries, lying in rows in the haystacks, the stinking gas overflowing outward, as if one of them will die at any time, curled up in the teahouse, it seems that you can still hear the ethereal lyrics and music of the past.
Outside the building, rows of masons sat in a row with eating guys on their backs, waiting for someone from home to come to the door.
After all, the war had just ended, and there was not a single house that was not broken and leaking, and the masons became the most popular group of people here, all of them dressed very thinly, and some of them could see their strong arms in this cold winter.
However, the capital is the capital after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the city that has experienced the heavy damage of the war has no shortage of people with strong family backgrounds who have survived.
Occasionally, you can see servants dressed in thick and warm clothes, buying daily necessities and hiring craftsmen to do the work.
Mankind will always slowly recover from the throes of war, and this is the unremitting driving force for history to roll forward.
"Ziyan, I'm back!" Li Zhen returned to their paradise home.
He bought some vegetables and fruits, thick cotton clothes, and five chickens, which were used as companions for Ziyan, and the chirping chirping chickens added a little more life to the quiet woods.
However, when he walked into the stone house, he saw that the ground was still full of dust, and there was no trace of cleaning.
He searched in the stone houses again, and even the figure of Ziyan was gone, and he suddenly felt like the sky was falling, and his head was dizzy.
"Purple Smoke!"
Li Zhen called out loudly, he began to panic, and after making sure that there was no purple smoke in the house, he rushed out and ran while shouting.
The purple smoke is like the world has evaporated, and there is no clue at all.
Li Zhen never thought that such a thing would happen, Ziyan would not say goodbye without saying goodbye, could she have been taken away?
Who could it be?
I know there are two more people here!
Wu Ling and Hu Gonggong!
That's right! Except for them who know the secrets here, there is no one else, it must be Wuling who has taken Ziyan away.
Li Zhen kept analyzing the reasons for Ziyan's disappearance while running.
But the world is so big, where did he go to find Wuling and them?
"Damn Wuling, he should have been chopped with one palm in the first place, leaving a disaster, it's really self-inflicted!" Li Zhen kicked the trees next to him vigorously, and the dead branches kept falling to the ground.
"Wu Ling, without cultivation, how could he hold Ziyan hostage and disappear so quickly?" Li Zhen thought about it, "If Wuling kidnaps Ziyan, he will still remember some old feelings, and he won't do anything about Ziyan, if he is taken away by someone else, the consequences will be really unimaginable!"
The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more scared he felt, there was another person who was against Li Zhen in this world, and that was Lin Chong!
Lin Zhong was seriously injured by Liu Zhi in the Battle of Zhengtianmen and escaped, could it be him?
As soon as Li Zhen thought of Lin Chong, he was shocked by layers of cold sweat on his body, that was a murderous demon without blinking, if the purple smoke fell in his hands......
Li Zhen didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he kept running towards the capital, and now there is probably only one person who can find Lin Chong, and that is another demon in the capital!
Walking through the desolate outer city, the crowds in the streets kept casting strange glances at the running man.
The inner city, Zhengtianmen is still standing majestically in the center of the imperial city, which is heavily guarded, and the soldiers with tigers and bears straighten their chests and hold blades in their hands, guarding the last glory of the country, the imperial city.
"What person?" the soldier hurriedly shouted when he saw Li Zhen rushing towards the imperial city.
"I want to see Liu Zhi!" Li Zhen said sharply while standing outside the palace gate.
