Chapter 958: Clouds Cover the Sun, Swallows Return to Their Nests (8)

"strangeness."

In a small alley in the south of the city, behind the half-open courtyard door, Tweety looked out along the probe while holding the door, her eyes were full of doubts.

From half an hour ago, she heard dull loud noises in the distance, as if coming from the direction of the palace.

And just now the sky over there has also become cloudy, and it seems that there are dragons flickering in it, which looks quite scary.

Because it was too far away from the Meridian Gate, Tweety couldn't see what happened in the sky above the Meridian Gate clearly, but could only vaguely see some virtual scenes.

She was naturally very curious, but because Wei Changtian reminded not to go out, she never took a step out of the courtyard door, just stood at the door and kept looking out.

And just after she looked at it for a while, a little boy hurriedly appeared in the alley.

"Little Bamboo!"

Waving her hand, Tweety immediately called out to the little boy.

The latter is the little book boy of a scholar who lives in another courtyard nearby, and she has met it several times before.

"Little Zhuzi, did you just come back from outside?"

Bending down slightly, Tweety pulled the little book boy and asked, "What happened in the city?"

"Sister Cui'er, something serious happened!"

The little book boy looked flustered, and said while gesticulating with hands and feet, "It's Wei Yanluo! Wei Yanluo is going to kill the emperor!"

"what?"

With her mouth wide open suddenly, Tweety was startled by the sudden news.

"D-Really?"

"Sister Cui'er! Can what I saw with my own eyes be fake?"

The little book boy pouted dissatisfiedly: "Besides, it's not just me, many people at the Meridian Gate have seen it!"

"Then Wei Yanluo summoned three ferocious beasts from The Underworld, and they competed with each other fiercely. They killed many, many forbidden soldiers. Right now, Yudao Street is full of human corpses!"

"Fortunately, I heard from others that the emperor seems to have escaped. Oh, sister Cui'er, I won't tell you anymore."

"I have to go back and tell my son about it."

"."

After quickly explaining a few more words, the little bookboy quickly ran away, leaving only Tweety standing there in a daze.

Wei Yanluo came to the capital and wanted to kill the emperor

Obviously, even though Tweety is just an ordinary maid, she is not completely ignorant of current affairs, and has long heard how cruel and evil Wei Yanluo is.

What is it that he likes to eat children the most, why none of the little ladies he targets can survive the night, what can summon demonic beasts from The Underworld, and so on.

In short, in Tweety's perception, Wei Yanluo is the worst and worst person in the world.

And now such a villain actually appeared in the capital.

"Master, son!"

Her face suddenly became extremely flustered. She didn't even have time to close the courtyard door. After recovering, she immediately stumbled into the study and said anxiously to He Jing who was sitting in front of the desk in a daze:

"Young master is not well. Just now I heard Xiao Zhuzi say that Wei Yanluo appeared in the capital."

"."

His body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Tweety. He Jing's reaction was both normal and abnormal.

His expression at the moment is indeed shocked, but it seems that it is not because of the incident itself, but the shock of "I guessed it right".

On the other side, of course, Tweety was not aware of this, but repeated what the little book boy said in a hurried tone, and then said happily with lingering fear:

"My lord, I heard that many people died at the Meridian Gate."

"Fortunately, Mr. Wei told us not to go out this morning, otherwise"

The voice stopped abruptly, Tweety hadn't reacted just now, but now she finally realized something was wrong.

Her eyes suddenly became blank, and after a pause, she asked He Jing in a low voice.

"Master, how did Mr. Wei know that?"

"."

He opened his mouth, but He Jing didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer.

Thinking back to the poem Wei Changtian left behind, he was silent for a long time, and in the end he only gave a soft instruction.

"Go and close the doors and windows."

"After today, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything."

On the other side, the Meridian Gate.

The scorching sun was shining in the sky, the golden light was shining for thousands of miles, and there was no wind around the huge palace.

The dazzling sunlight fell on the densely packed scales, and the bright spots formed a golden ocean.

Not long after Wei Changtian entered the palace, reinforcements from the Sifang City Gate arrived one after another. So far, no less than 100,000 soldiers have arrived, and the number is still increasing.

Although the imperial palace is very large, there are enough people to surround it layer by layer, and it is quite spectacular to look at.

It's just that even though more and more people came, just like before, no one has dared to step into that vermilion wall.

Everyone was just staring nervously at the rising and falling eaves of the temple, holding various weapons tightly in their hands, waiting for the final result.

At first glance, this scene is actually quite ridiculous.

Wei Changtian was alone, and he was clearly chasing and killing Jing Guoqing in the palace right now.

And more than a hundred thousand soldiers just watched outside, and none of them dared to enter the palace to rescue him.

For the soldiers who arrived later, they naturally couldn't understand why, why the generals didn't dare to order the army to enter the palace.

But for those generals who witnessed or even personally participated in the battle with Wei Changtian, perhaps since Wei Changtian suddenly appeared on the Meridian Gate, forcing the old eunuch to reluctantly save Jing Guoqing in that way. At that time, his heart was already ashamed.

Regardless of whether Jing Guoqing will die or not, this battle has already been lost.

This can be clearly seen from the corpses of the forbidden soldiers all over the street, from the fear on the faces of the common people, and from the more than 100,000 soldiers who dare not enter the palace to rescue them.

Of course, even so, no one wanted to see Jing Guoqing really die at the hands of Wei Changtian.

Many people still hold out a glimmer of hope, waiting for a miracle.

What if the emperor is not dead?

What if the emperor not only did not die, but even killed Wei Yanluo?

The Jing family has been in business for more than a thousand years, how could it be that they don't have any means of suppressing the bottom line?

Yes, the emperor must have a way, Dagan will not just die in the hands of Wei Yanluo.

With this in mind, although most people are pessimistic at the moment, they are not completely desperate.

And as if to prove that their idea was correct, the roar from the depths of the palace has never stopped since it started an hour ago.

There is no doubt that this shows that the battle in the palace is not only very fierce, but also very anxious, otherwise there would be no victory or defeat until now.

Well, this also means that Jing Guoqing and the Jing family are not without opportunities

Pairs of wide-eyed eyes, tense faces, where more than 100,000 people stood, there was no sound of movement, only the dull rumble reverberating between the heaven and the earth.

At this time, every minute and every second is as long as a century to Dagan people.

Then at a certain moment, when the scorching sun in the sky had even gradually set in the west, the roar finally stopped.

". End, is it over?"

Someone stammered and murmured something, but no one answered.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the open city gate until a figure appeared at the end of the spotless Shiraishi road behind the gate.

There was not a trace of blood on the man's body, and he was walking towards the Meridian Gate step by step, his steps were very slow.

Although the distance was still far away, countless people recognized who he was the first time.

"Yes, the emperor!!"

"The emperor is not dead!!"

"God bless you! Woohoo! God bless me!!!"

"."

After a pause, chaotic and excited voices erupted suddenly, one wave after another rushing straight into the sky like a surge.

Countless people howled loudly with excitement on their faces, and some even covered their faces and wept bitterly with joy. The haze suppressed in their hearts finally disappeared in an instant at this moment.

"His Majesty!!"

At the same time, with an urgent cry, several generals who came to their senses also rushed towards Jing Guoqing immediately.

Even though they didn't dare to bring troops into the palace to rescue him just now, if Jing Guoqing is liquidated in the future, he is doomed to die.

But at this time, they had already ignored these things, and there was only a sense of relief in their hearts that they had escaped from death.

No matter what, the emperor is not dead, and Daqian is not dead!

"Shua! Shua, Shua, Shua!"

Just like that, several Daoist shadows quickly passed through layers of military formations and rushed into the tall city gate, and the distance between them and Jing Guoqing was also shortening rapidly.

However, when the two sides were only separated by the last ten feet, those generals suddenly stopped without warning.

Because it wasn't until this moment that they finally saw Jing Guoqing's pale face clearly, and finally heard what the latter's mouth was opening and closing.

"Save, save me, save me"

"."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The expression instantly became terrified, and all the generals retreated half step subconsciously, only feeling a biting chill suddenly rise up their backs.

They stared blankly at Jing Guoqing, wondering why the latter was so desperate even though he had no injuries at all.

And at the next moment, when a long sword suddenly appeared behind Jing Guoqing, and immediately stabbed fiercely into the five-clawed real dragon on the robe, everyone knew the answer.

"Pfft!!"

The body of the sword sank into the flesh and blood, and the point of the sword pierced through the chest.

The blood soaked Jing Guoqing's dragon robe in an instant, and his vitality was also rapidly drained.

He lowered his head to look at the cold sword tip on his chest, then raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the fear-faced generals in front of him and the vast army standing behind them.

Jing Guoqing's eyes were a little unwilling, a little sad, and a little lost.

No one knows what happened in the palace in the past hour.

Perhaps if these soldiers outside the palace really rushed in to help Jing Guoqing, the result would be different.

It's a pity, it's all meaningless now

Slowly closing his eyes, Jing Guoqing didn't say a word until the end.

His body shook a few times, and then slowly fell to the ground without even a speck of dust splashing.

"."

All the boiling outside the Meridian Gate stopped abruptly at this moment, and even time seemed to freeze lifelessly at this moment.

All that remains is endless silence.

"Da da da"

"Pfft."

"Cang Lang."

Walking to Jing Guoqing's body, he pulled out the Longquan Sword and returned it to its sheath.

When Wei Changtian, covered in blood, finished all this, the generals not far away were still standing there blankly, as if they had forgotten to even run away.

And Wei Changtian didn't care about them, didn't even look at them, just slowly walked past them, walked out of the city gate, and walked slowly along the long street.

"Clatter!"

There was a sound of armor rubbing against each other, and the soldiers crowded outside the city gate retreated to both sides in a panic, making way for a passage wide enough.

Wei Changtian walked straight along this passage, without turning his head once from the beginning to the end.

The sun that had already set in the western sky cast oblique light, which stretched his shadow very long.

At this moment, apart from the sound of his footsteps, there seemed to be no sound in the world.

If you just listen and don't watch, no one will believe that he is not the only one standing here.

And in this deathly silence, Wei Changtian quickly walked to the door of the teahouse.

He stopped and glanced at the tea drinkers in the front hall who were stunned in place.

Wei Changtian stepped across the threshold expressionlessly, walked to the place where he was sitting before, and then reached out to pick up the three boxes of mung bean cakes that were still on the table.

It stands to reason that he has exposed his identity and killed so many people just now, and these tea drinkers should run away when they see him now.

But it was like losing his soul, until now no one in the whole teahouse dared to move.

Everyone just watched in a daze as Wei Changtian walked out step by step carrying the mung bean cake, and then stopped suddenly when he passed in front of the storyteller.

"By the way, you haven't finished the book just now."

"Actually, I'd like to know what happened after that."

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Wei Changtian smiled and asked the storyteller: "Sir, I don't know how I killed Lu Hongji at that time?"

"."

How did I kill Lu Hongji in the first place?

Undoubtedly, no one would have thought that Wei Changtian would ask such a question.

The storyteller was so frightened that everyone was dumbfounded, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

"Gong, son, spare your life, son, spare your life"

"Little, the villain doesn't dare anymore, beg, beg the young master to bypass the villain."

The storyteller's mind has been blank for a long time, and he still doesn't remember the answers to the questions Wei Changtian asked.

Even if he remembered, he naturally didn't dare to answer at the moment, so he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

And Wei Changtian didn't ask any more when he saw this, he just waved his hand lightly.

"Okay, stop knocking, I won't kill you."

"It's fine if you don't want to say it."

"But whether you believe it or not, I did not kill Lu Hongji anyway, so I don't need to talk about this paragraph when I talk about it again."

The voice is calm and the tone is gentle.

Under the fearful and bewildered eyes of the storyteller, Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then smiled and pointed to the Meridian Gate in the distance.

"Anyway, you saw what happened today with your own eyes, so you can just talk about it later."

"It is true that I killed Jing Guoqing, and the entire Jing family. Now there is no one alive."

"So, everyone"

Turning his eyes away from the storyteller and scanning the teahouse, Wei Changtian's voice gradually became serious.

"Your emperor is dead, and the 300,000 rebels will arrive tonight at the latest. Then why will there be chaos in the city?"

"I have no intention of killing people, so if you don't want to die, go home quickly."

"Maybe you can't accept it for the time being, but you have really done it"

"Dead."
