Shinkyo, Kagura Street, evening.
"call out"!
A firework flew into the sky with a long tail, and then suddenly exploded. The colorful fireworks bloomed into brilliant flowers, and then disappeared in an instant in the increasingly gloomy sky.
This is a landmark news that the theater troupes in Kagura Street are about to open their doors. When someone sees this fireworks, they will know that those theater troupes are about to perform on the stage.
At that time, the entire Kagura Street was filled with opera performers of all kinds who came from all over the world to play, play, play and sing. Among them were circuses that drove various beasts and acrobatic performers, and entertainers who danced with knives, used sticks and smashed rocks in their chests. , there were Caotai troupes who performed various local dialects and operas, and there were acrobatic ronins who paraded on stilts in colorful clothes. At that time, the entire Kagura Street was really a market that never sleeps. No matter men, women, old or young, rich or poor, everyone could find their own place here. hapiness.
However, today, when the fireworks bloomed and exploded in the sky, the children did not have time to be happy when they heard a harsh sound of gongs.
The sound was rapid and loud, and the faces of the children's parents changed greatly when they heard the sound. Some of them immediately dropped what they were busy doing and went out to look for their children, dragging them back regardless of their children's cries.
Some naughty children were rolling around on the ground and refused to go home. But at this time, a rumbling sound was heard from one end of the street, and at the same time there was the sound of a horse whip crackling.
Hearing this sound, the children's parents became anxious. They immediately began to slap and beat them indiscriminately, then picked them up and ran to both sides of the street as hard as they could.
Just as they rushed to both sides of the street, two knights with red, yellow and white flags on their backs and shining golden armor were waving their riding whips, driving two tall horses, one white and one black, roaring towards them.
In this sacred capital, horses are not allowed to gallop on any street, and those who disobey the order will receive fifty sticks!
This is Jing Zhaoyin’s iron rule!
But there are exceptions to everything!
One of the exceptions is the two order knights in front of me!
With the three-color flags on their backs, people in Shenjing will know at a glance that they are carrying extremely important orders. No one is allowed to obstruct them for any reason or in any form. Anyone who disobeys the orders will not be pardoned!
Not only can they gallop in this sacred palace, they can even draw their sabers and hack to death anyone who blocks them, no matter who they are!
And when this kind of ordering knight appears, people in Shenjing will definitely know: something big has happened! !
At this time, people in Kagura Street were hiding on both sides of the road in fear. The artists who would have occupied the street were extremely panicked and got out of the way, allowing the two knights to drive past quickly.
They saw the two knights speeding along, shouting all the way, and the content of the shout was very simple, with only two words: "Curfew! Curfew!!"
Shenjing has a population of about eight million, which is an extremely incredible number in an ancient city. A population of this magnitude gathered in an ancient city is enough to turn the city into a city that never sleeps.
In fact, this is true!
During the twelfth lunar month of every Spring Festival, this is the most lively and prosperous period in Shenjing. Various celebrations and programs will be staged in turn. Both courtesans and vagabond artists will use their eighteen martial arts to show off their respective skills. The most beautiful posture and the brightest talent are dedicated to the world, allowing them to see the splendor of Shenjing.
The emperors of Daqi were very confident and courageous, so they almost never imposed curfews, but once there was a curfew, something earth-shattering must have happened!
Seeing the order knight speeding by, the people on the street quickly dispersed, everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
But when they hurriedly returned home, they couldn't help but peek out through the cracks in the windows and doors at the Shenjing Blood Guards who began to patrol the streets of Shenjing, and they couldn't help but make random guesses in their minds.
What happened? So serious
What some elderly people think of is the horrific murder that shocked Daqi nineteen years ago. It was the same situation that day!
And just as the entire Shenjing fell into the tense atmosphere of the curfew, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, running around but unable to do anything.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?!" Prince Zhan Shi Xiao Yueping didn't care about his daily Qi-nurturing efforts. He was so anxious that a big blister appeared on his mouth in a short time. He paced back and forth in front of the hall with his mouth low. There are words in the voice.
At this time, there was not only the prince himself, but also the "Four King Kongs" of the prince's mansion, Ning Tongyi, Xiao Yueping, Gu Cangping, Zhang Datong. In addition, there were Liu Sumei, Zhao Feiyue, Xiao Lingdang, Su Yuehan and others.
After the Qiuyue Valley massacre broke out, Li Chengfeng, Zhao Feiyue, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing had no choice but to flee separately during the fierce battle. However, what made Zhao Feiyue and the others anxious was that after they escaped from the dangerous area, they could no longer find Li Chengfeng. to his figure.
Without Zhao Feiyue, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing would have dragged Liu Sumei and Xiao Lingdang to turn everything upside down in Qiuyue Valley, but Zhao Feiyue knew very well that Qiuyue Valley was an extremely sensitive place right now, and the Qiankun Divine Sect had lost hundreds of elite personnel here. , it is absolutely impossible for them to have no reaction to this.
Similarly, although Qiuyue Valley is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is also in the Jingzhao area. If such an earth-shattering event happened next to Shenjing, how could the imperial court not respond
At this time, they are still staying in Qiuyue Valley, which can only add chaos. If they want to find someone, they can ask others to find them.
Moreover, in Zhao Feiyue's view, Li Chengfeng should have escaped. Where he escaped, they could not imagine or find him. But what Zhao Feiyue never expected was that Li Chengfeng made a big circle, but then Finally found it.
Seeing Xiao Yueping pacing back and forth, Zhao Feiyue also frowned and kept looking outside, obviously waiting for news. Prince Zhao Hanqing stepped forward and patted Zhao Feiyue's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, Li Xiandi has his own good luck." Heaven, he’ll be fine.”
Zhao Feiyue forced a smile and said nothing. Zhao Xiaobao, who was looking anxious and worried at the side, couldn't help but said: "How about we go look for it again?"
Zhao Hanqing immediately rejected his proposal: "No! The Divine Cult and the Blood Guard must have taken over the control inside and outside Shenjing at this time. Going out at this time is a serious crime of beheading!"
Han Tianxing said anxiously from the side: "But it's not a problem to wait like this!"
Zhao Hanqing said without hesitation: "We can only wait at this time! Wait until there is news..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside. When everyone heard the sound, they immediately stood up, turned their heads, and looked at the door.
Soon a eunuch's voice came from the door: "Your Highness! Eunuch Huang is here. He is in the front hall at this time. He took a piece of jade Ruyi and said that Your Majesty has a decree and sent His Majesty to the palace to see you."
This sentence seemed simple, but it was like thunder, shocking Zhao Hanqing and others into silence.
Zhao Hanqing, who was usually calm and composed, now looked pale and his lips were trembling slightly. After a while, he forced himself to calm down and said: "I know, I... I'll go in a while."
After the eunuch Prince Zhan Shi and Xiao Yueping left, he exclaimed: "Your Highness, you can't go!!"
Gu Cangping also looked miserable. He clenched his fists tightly and pursed his lips tightly. His face was full of reluctance, but he could not say a word.
Ning Tongyi also frowned, and he kept hitting the palm of his other hand hard with one fist, full of hesitation.
After hearing Xiao Yueping's words, Zhao Hanqing laughed miserably and said: "If the king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die; if the father wants his son to die, the son has to die!"
Zhao Feiyue was shocked: "Third brother, don't say that! My father may not want to blame you!"
Zhao Hanqing said desperately: "Such a big thing happened in Qiuyue Valley, and I am the one who presided over it, so I can't escape the blame! If I go this time, I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish what he said, but everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They all knew what the last half of the sentence meant!
If I go this time, I'm afraid the prince will be deposed on the spot!
