The deep sound of dragon mourning bells resounded throughout the night in the capital city.

Everyone in the capital stopped what they were doing and stood quietly facing the palace.

All the officials bowed their heads respectfully and silently counted the sound of the dragon bell in their hearts.

In the Night Guard Yamen, many night guards looked at each other and waited quietly.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds...

After seven rings.

Under the big locust tree of Yewei Yamen, things immediately became lively.

"According to my Daqi law, ninety-five and forty-five tones are for the mourning of the emperor, ninety-three and twenty-seven are for the mourning of the queen mother, ninety-eight tones are for the mourning of the queen and the prince, the number of the prince is seven, and the number of the kings is five, except for those who deserve to enjoy the imperial temple Waiting for a few people, the dragon bell will not be sounded. Now, which prince has passed away? "

"The current princes are all well-educated, so they won't die so quickly."

"Wait a minute, His Highness King Chu seems to have entered a strange place..."

Under the big locust tree, it suddenly became quiet.

Under the night in Shendu City, undercurrents surged. .

Zheng Hui held a long knife in his hand and said in a low voice: "Old woman, you stay in the house while I go outside to find out what's going on."

"Didn't a prince die?"

"You don't understand. The general Wang is a prince, the King of Chu is a prince, the King of Jin is also a prince, and there are some younger princes. Whoever dies will have a completely different impact on the country of Qi."

"What does it have to do with us?"

"The death of an ordinary prince has nothing to do with us. The death of the general Wang... no, call him dead. Let's flee south immediately, the sooner the better. If the King of Chu dies, then the Night Guard and Mr. Li may be in trouble. After all, Li Your Excellency, you went to Guidi together with King Chu. I've been helping Anbo take care of business these days, and I've been very nervous about these things."

"Then you go early and come back early."

"Um."

On the other side of Shendu City, next door to Gang Feng's former residence, Aunt Li Qingxian's family, led by her uncle, hurriedly locked the door, moved wood to support the door panel, and transported stones to block the door.

On the street, some troublemakers shouted loudly: "Neighbors, lock your doors, I'm afraid there will be chaos..."

"Don't talk nonsense, but it's important to lock the door..."

Viewed from a high altitude, the lights in various places in Shendu City are rapidly dimming, but there are also some places where the lights are getting brighter.

The busybodies left their homes one after another and went to nearby wine shops and teahouses to inquire about the news.

Liu's Restaurant.

"The good news is that General Wang is fine."

"It would be great."

"As long as the General King is fine, it doesn't matter if the others... ahem, all of them die."

"The bad news is that it is King Chu who died."

"Wise King? That's not good news."

"What a bastard, the wise king. Everyone in the capital doesn't know that he is a master who strives for power and profit. Because he is interested in the position of Marquis Qiyuan, he obstructs him in every possible way. In the end, isn't he still disappointed?"

"Yes, is there anyone in Shendu City who doesn't know that he was refuted by Marquis Qiyuan and couldn't stand it, so he colluded with the Tianming Sect and used some big spider. As a result, not only Marquis Qiyuan was harmed, but also thousands of night guards and people nearby. They have all been implicated in the conspiracy. You don’t know how harshly the great scholars in the court scolded you, and you almost pointed at that one person and scolded him for his incompetence in teaching his children."

"Now the King of Chu's reputation is completely bad and misleading. This is simply a new generation of witchcraft. Many literary cultivators who originally supported the King of Chu have written letters of impeachment and drawn a clear line with the King of Chu."

"Then the Tianming Sect was slapped hard by Zhao Shoufu. Even the super-grade life weapon was taken away. They didn't even dare to let go. What were they forced to give?"

"Destiny and true luck, all the yamen in the world know about this."

"That's not right. The Tianming Sect sent the destiny to the King of Chu. Why did the King of Chu die?"

"The King of Chu was not killed by the Tianming Sect, was he?"

"No, I guess, King Chu did all the bad things, and people died before destiny came. Haha, the sky has eyes."

"Who is the King of Chu harming? He is harming the son of Gang Feng. Not to mention the people of Qiyuan City, everyone from the north, as long as they have been to Qiyuan City, how can anyone not praise the Marquis of Qiyuan? They all say that a young man is better than a young man. blue."

"Whoever harms Gang Feng's son, the people of the world can drown him with just one spittle. Isn't the prince amazing? He deserves it!"

"Besides, even Zhao Fufu looks at Zai Yuanhou, who is he, the King of Chu? We can look at the wrong person, who can look at the wrong person, can Zhao Chieffu look at the wrong person? Absolutely impossible!"

"Yes! Everyone in the world may be wrong, but Zhao Shoufu will never be wrong. I believe that Zhao Shoufu is definitely right."

Boom...

For the first time in history, the side door of the palace was opened wide in the middle of the night. People in purple robes and gold and silver seals and ribbons entered one after another and arrived at the cabinet lobby.

Under the darkness, all the officials looked at the five bachelors sitting in the cabinet hall with dark faces.

In the lobby, the candlelight flickered on and off, and the light and shadow flickered on the faces of the five bachelors.

The guards in the cabinet lobby were frightened. The cabinet has been renovated three times this year. This time there are so many big people gathered. If there is any accident, it will be razed to the ground.

"The dragon's body is not in good condition today and we cannot hold a court meeting. Let's discuss a charter here today."

It was quiet inside and outside the cabinet hall, even the sound of breathing was suppressed, as if it was a puppet repair place of the Ministry of Works.

After a long time, the old man sitting next to Zhao Yishan spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu's death must have been caused by a strange land. Even the Tianming Sect dared to interfere with the strange land. The prince of our dynasty died in a strange land, so we cannot ignore it. Otherwise, where is the prestige of our majestic Qi State? Where is the royal dignity?"

Some people looked at the second assistant Xie Lin Fu who was speaking with boredom. This person had great talents, but he always played with power. This time, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause.

"I object. It is true that Guidi commits serious sins from time to time and devours people. But this time His Highness the King of Chu fell into the trap, and he brought it upon himself. The King of Chu made a mistake in the first place, and by venting his anger on Guidi, I am afraid that it will bring revenge from Guidi."

"We are in great harmony, and all the nations are coming to court. Why should we be afraid of the treacherous ground?"

"Okay then, please take action, Mr. Cifu, and personally lead the whole family of disciples to attack Guidi. I will stand in the distance to support you."

"Don't lie."

"It is indeed inappropriate to blame Guidi, but we cannot sit still and wait for death. The war in southern Xinjiang is raging now, and the demon tribe in the north is ready to make a move. If we show weakness this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Since the disaster was caused by the Tianming Sect, it will be solved by the Tianming Sect."

"The Destiny Sect has already sent down the destiny and has nothing to do with this matter."

"Then why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu dying?"

"It's too late."

"absurd!"

"It's better to wait until someone leaves the strange place, and then we can explore the reason."

"When people leave Guidi and Guidi is closed, where can we go to seek justice and find the murderer?"

"Everyone, who knows how to communicate with the mysterious world?"

"Both the Ming Lao Xian and the Tian Ming Sect have a way to communicate with the Emperor of the Secret Realm. However, it is necessary to mobilize the important treasures of the country and sacrifice the Ming Star. It should not be used lightly unless it is a last resort."

"Instead of mobilizing the country's most important treasure, why not take action and give Guidi a warning."

"The King of Chu himself is despicable, cunning, and harmful to others and himself. Why should he give Guidi a warning?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu died in Guidi. Guidi must give an explanation to Da Qi."

"The north and the south are attacking together. There are internal and external troubles. Put away your disgusting ways of domination."

"Don't agree? That's fine. We, the ministers, will kneel down to Wei Di and pay tribute to Wei Di."

"Nonsense!"

Slowly, the debate among the officials changed.
