The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held at a temple platform outside the capital.
The mighty Heaven-Sacrificing Team was protected by numerous soldiers, with well-armed guards in front to open the way, and cautious officers and soldiers behind to guard it.
The sound of the sacrificial music followed the march of the team, and it was particularly clear and pleasant to pass through this densely forested place.
Because of this tall trees stand, the sight is blocked, and it is an easy place to hide. Although a few days ago, there were heavy soldiers sweeping and investigating here, but now these guards and soldiers still dare not relax in the slightest, and everyone's hearts are raised.
They have already reached the exit of this section of the road, and out of this mountain road, it is a place of worship with a wide view.
The guards and soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief and traveled through the chaos of the world.
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in the jungle, Tian Yi's face changed greatly, he pulled out his saber to shoot down the cold arrow that came over, and shouted loudly, "Guard!"
The guarding soldiers all drew out their swords and surrounded and protected the emperor and the ministers.
They struggled to block the arrows that rushed over. A few people fell to the ground because they couldn't resist and fell to the ground, and the others quickly climbed up to their positions.
It was at this moment that a group of people suddenly rushed out of the jungle. They were dressed in weird clothes, and upon closer inspection, it was obvious that they were the Dragon Blood Sect that had made a big deal a few years ago!
The crowd was horrified and hurriedly resisted.
It seems that they have been in ambush here for a long time, each of them looks extremely embarrassed, and their faces are covered with dust, but their expressions are abnormally excited and excited, abnormal to the point of weird, can't help but make people look at it. Chill in my heart.
The arrow rain just now has passed, and only a few sporadic cold arrows will sprint over when people are unprepared, but this has brought great trouble to everyone.
With a dignified expression, Tian Yi sent a team to search the jungle. The other soldiers were divided into two groups. One group rushed forward to stop the enemy, and the other group escorted the sacrificial team to the open space ahead.
Although the people of the Dragon Blood Sect are a rabble of people who are unfamiliar with martial arts, they don't seem to know what pain is, and they are not afraid of death at all. Even with an excited expression, he rushed towards the sword in the soldier's hand, and a man behind him followed with a knife in his hand, and cut the soldier's throat before he could draw the sword.
There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there is blood dripping everywhere.
The scene was extremely tragic.
But fortunately, the soldiers who resisted were all well-trained elites. As time went by, the number of Dragonblood cultists gushing out decreased again and again, and gradually became unsupported.
At this time, the group of people who guarded the sacrificial team had also walked out of the mountain road and entered the open flat land.
Seeing that this incident was about to subside, who would have thought that one of the sacrificial troops suddenly burst into flames, rushed in front of Emperor Yuanheng, and kidnapped him with a knife.
"Put down all your weapons, or I'll kill him now."
The fighting soldiers suddenly stopped their movements.
Tian Yi looked at the person who had kidnapped Emperor Yuanjing, and asked loudly in disbelief, "...Why?"
"What trouble do you have!"
Dong Zhe'an looked at Tian Yi expressionlessly, and didn't mean to answer his question at all, but only increased the strength in his hands.
A trace of blood appeared on Emperor Yuan Heng's neck.
"Put down your weapons."
Tian Yi gritted his teeth and shouted loudly behind him, "Put it all down!"
There was a crackling sound of weapons landing.
"An, I don't know why you did this, but I believe you must have difficulties. Let go now, everything is too late." Tian Yi took two steps forward, his eyes full of pain and distress.
There was a trace of fluctuation in Dong Zhe'an's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
The strength in his hands increased a little again.
Tian Yi's forward steps suddenly stopped, and he did not dare to continue forward.
"Hahahaha, in time, how could it be possible that my boyfriend is not human!" A figure slowly stood up from behind the high platform of the sacrifice.
"Why are you!" Tian Yi's eyes were splitting.
This person is none other than the saintess of the Dragon Blood Sect who escaped before, Shui Xirong.
Although Tian Yi had not seen her with his own eyes, he had seen her portrait.
Shui Xirong walked towards the hijacked Emperor Yuan Heng. The others wanted to stop him, but were frightened back by the increased strength in Dong Zhe'an's hand, so they could only stand nervously in place.
Shui Xirong patted Dong Zhe'an on the shoulder quite admiringly.
"Good boy, you did a good job this time."
Tian Yi couldn't bear it any longer, and looked at Shui Xirong with hatred in his eyes, "Did you control A'an?"
Shui Xirong chuckled and pinched Dong Zhe'an's cheek. His eyes were kind, but the movements of his hands were extremely ruthless, and his nails were deeply embedded in his cheeks.
"My son is lucky to have found a husband who believes in you so much."
"But it's much stronger than my mother."
Dong Zhe'an's side face was pinched hard by her to bleed, but his expression did not change at all.
Tian Yi clenched his hand tightly, his eyes were splitting.
He wanted to stop the crazy woman, but he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that he would accidentally stimulate her. If she went crazy, it would be A'an who would be hurt.
After Shui Xirong vented fiercely, she smiled and let go of her hand.
This time, her goal was shifted to Heng Rui, and she giggled, "You didn't expect to be blocked by me just after you became emperor."
Heng Rui had an angry look on his face, but he didn't say a word.
Shui Xirong didn't force him, and smiled very happily.
Then she walked to Dong Haoyang next to her, her face full of ruthless expressions.
"Little brat, you didn't expect me to come back alive, this time you are my prisoners."
Dong Haoyang's always smiling face disappeared at this moment, and his face was very solemn, "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? Don't you always know? Why are you pretending to be confused now?" She approached Dong Haoyang's ear and said in a slow and clear voice, "I was born to destroy the Yuanning Kingdom. of."
"You are full of sins, only I can save you."
Dong Haoyang frowned, "You are simply a lunatic."
Shui Xirong laughed, and before anyone else could react, she slapped Dong Haoyang hard with a slap.
The crisp sound of "pop" was particularly clear in this silent team.
Heng Rui's eyes instantly turned red, and his eyes were full of violent killing intent.
Shui Xirong looked at Dong Haoyang's flushed face and felt very happy.
"Today, we will act for the gods and save you bloody sinners!" Shui Xirong turned around and said to the front, "People of the gods, come out, now it's time for us to be the gods. Time to work."
As soon as Shui Xirong's voice fell, another group of people dressed in Dragon Blood Sect costumes walked out of the jungle.
Their clothes are obviously different from other people's. It can be seen that their status in the Dragon Blood Religion is very high.
"Take this source of sin to the altar, and let us worship our god with his blood!"
One of the ministers in the sacrificial team couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed towards Shui Xirong with a roar, but was stabbed through the abdomen with a sword by the soldier next to him.
The moment before he fell, his face was full of disbelief.
This accident caught all the people in the sacrificial team by surprise.
Shui Xirong looked at the dying minister on the ground with a very happy smile, "Do you think I'll be relieved that I'm just a chess piece like Dong Zhe'an?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her face immediately turned cold, "Put all of them on the sacrificial altar for me, and I will sacrifice their blood to our gods!"
"Yes!" A small half of the original guard team stood up and bowed in salute, including Li Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Heng Rui couldn't help sneering when he saw this situation, "Your claws are really long enough, is Concubine Li also one of yours?"
Li Taifei is Li Qi's sister.
Shui Xirong raised her eyebrows, "As expected of an emperor, she is very smart, but unfortunately your smart head will soon fall to the ground."
She waved her hand proudly, and those people pressed the minister and Heng Rui to the sacrificial altar.
The moment he walked towards the steps, Heng Rui stopped and smiled at Shui Xirong, "The people here should be all of you cult remnants."
Shui Xirong's face changed slightly, and she had a bad premonition.
As expected, many soldiers suddenly rushed out from below the sacrificial altar, and they surrounded them all in an instant.
All those cultists and the betrayed janissaries were brought under control.
Shui Xirong's eyes were splitting, only then did she realize that the sacrificial altar was actually hollow.
"Dong Zhe'an! Kill him!" Shui Xirong shouted at Dong Zhe'an, who was controlling Heng Rui, gritted his teeth.
"Don't!" Tian Yi looked at Dong Zhe'an's move, anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly.
But Dong Zhe'an just took the dagger from Emperor Yuanheng's neck and smiled at Shui Xirong.
"Mother, the child is not so useless."
When Shui Xirong saw this change, her whole person was like crazy, her red eyes looked at Dong Zhe'an fiercely, "So you lied to me too! Good! That's great!"
"I was actually killed by my own son! Hahahahaha!"
Heng Rui watched Shui Xirong go mad with cold eyes, and nodded to General Mu who rescued him, and they sent someone to press Shui Xirong up.
A *** just like this dust settled.
When the soldiers pressed Shui Xirong past Dong Haoyang, Shui Xirong suddenly struggled frantically, and the instant force made her break free from control, she drew the sword of a soldier next to her, and stabbed at Dong Haoyang past.
"It's all you! It's all you!" Shui Xirong roared like crazy.
Dong Haoyang's face didn't change, and he kicked Shui Xirong out with a neat movement.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind him.
"Don't!!!" Heng Rui's eyes were splitting.
