The heavy snow in the capital came suddenly.
This year's heavy winter snow came later than in previous years, but it was also more severe than in previous years.
Overnight, biting cold winds swept across the capital, and snow fell all over the sky, turning the entire city into a world of white.
The depth of the snow has seriously affected the residents in the city.
Even in the bustling capital city, travel was inconvenient due to the thick snow, and the streets and alleys were unprecedentedly deserted.
Coupled with the night watchmen from the Night Watch who were constantly patrolling in the cold wind, and the attack on the empress not long ago, the entire capital seemed to be shrouded in some kind of shadow.
The Jingzhao Yin opened the city's seal, and the four gates were tightly closed. All the tens of thousands of bronze tiger heads on the city walls were pointed toward the sky.
This is the no-fly zone formation that the Divine Dynasty has established many years ago. Once activated, anyone who flies without permission will be fired upon by tens of thousands of tiger missiles.
It is said that even the legendary celestial realm monks cannot resist such power.
Therefore, everyone knows that the murderer who attacked the Queen is still lurking in the capital and cannot escape.
The people who stayed at home to keep warm were discussing in low voices the horror of the thief, carefully catching all the rumors circulating in the market, trying to piece together a truth from those fragmentary rumors.
However, what most people could hear were rumors that had been passed on countless times.
As these rumors spread, people will only get closer and closer to the truth.
Even in the court, there were only a few people who could truly understand the truth about the attack on the Queen.
And now, outside the sky prison where heavy snow is falling, there are two such "extraordinary" figures gathered.
The wind and snow fell on them, but the two elderly men were not afraid of the cold. They sat on the eaves of a house outside the sky prison, gazing at the imperial city not far away, letting the rain fall on their shoulders.
The old demon Cangyu, an old man with a great reputation in the Central Plains magic world, has been guarding the Heavenly Prison for more than a hundred years.
However, his official identity was just a jailer in the Heavenly Prison.
According to the official rank of the Divine Dynasty, the old demon Cang Yu was not ranked high. He was just an idle minor official, the kind that could be found everywhere.
But because of his existence, no one has been able to successfully escape from the Tianlao for many years.
Anyone who tried to escape or rob the prison would not be able to get past the old man.
No one knew why he chose to be a small jailer in the Tianlao.
With his cultivation level, he is capable of becoming a great master of the time and a powerful figure in a region.
But the old demon Cangyu ignored all the glory and wealth, and stayed in the sky prison every day as an ordinary jailer, living with a group of jailers who also guarded the sky prison.
When most people escape from prison, until the moment of their death, they cannot believe that the unremarkable old man in the prison guard's uniform is actually the legendary Cangyu Old Demon.
Sitting next to the old demon Cang Yu was the eunuch Su Wen, who was dressed in luxurious robes.
In the snow, Su Wen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat together with the old jailer. They didn't look like they were from the same world.
Su Wen looked at the heavy snow falling all over the sky and the imperial city in the wind and snow, and he let out a long sigh.
This world-famous top master sighed, coughed, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Apparently, he was also injured during the previous trip to Haiyan City.
The Grand Secretary who has disappeared for many years is not an easy person to deal with.
If both of them had not restrained each other and did not fight to the end, the final ending would not have been so easy.
Su Wen sighed in the snow, "The situation is difficult, the snow is blowing... Old friend, are you really not going to come out to help?"
"If something unexpected happens to your majesty, this Divine Dynasty will probably be in chaos..."
Su Wen looked sincere and asked his old friend to come out.
Over the years, he has known this old friend but has never interfered with the other's life or made excessive demands.
But this time, he had to step forward and put his face aside to beg the other party to come out.
But the old demon Cangyu remained indifferent in the wind and snow.
This is a sincere request from the world's best master. If you tell others about this, you can brag about it for the rest of your life.
But the old demon Cangyu remained indifferent.
He sat in the snow, looking at the Imperial City in the heavy snow, and said, "Is Lu Zhao's injury so serious... You actually troubled me to come and ask for help."
The old demon Cangyu looked into the distance and said, "Don't tell me that Lu Zhao is actually dead and you are keeping it a secret?"
The old demon Cang Yu put forward a conjecture, which was extremely disrespectful.
Su Wen smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty has no children, and I, Su Wen, have no intention of seeking the throne. What's the point of keeping the death a secret?"
"What's more, with the Divine Medicine King here, even if Your Majesty cannot be saved, it will be difficult for him to die."
"Even if the Medicine Master King cannot save your Majesty, it should be no problem for him to forcibly prolong your life for a year or two."
Su Wen's words made the old demon Cangyu laugh sarcastically.
"Indeed, the old witch doctor is very good at helping people survive."
"If it weren't for him, Lu Zhao wouldn't have gone crazy like this..."
At this point, the old demon Cang Yu finally turned his head and looked at Su Wen for the first time, and asked, "What I am curious about now is, if Lu Zhao is not dead, then what is her situation?"
"She has been seeking immortality for decades. How far has she come?"
"I heard that Elder Tianxin outside the Great Wall is also mobilizing the entire Western Region to attack Changsheng."
"Based on your vision and knowledge, Eunuch Su, who do you think has a better chance of reaching the legendary realm of immortality?"
The old demon Cang Yu looked curious.
Su Wen was silent for a moment, and in the heavy snow, he seemed to have turned into a lifeless sculpture.
After a while, he made a decision and gave a difficult response.
"I can only tell you, my old friend, that your Majesty's path to immortality is not without hope, and it is far more promising than that of the old demon Tianxin..."
Su Wen’s words surprised the old demon Cangyu.
"Oh? There is actually hope?"
He naturally believed in Su Wen's judgment.
"Even the number one eunuch Su said so..." The old demon Cangyu thought for a moment and said, "So you really want to help Lu Zhao and let her rule for thousands of years, like Taizu?"
Su Wen said seriously: "Your Majesty is a true dragon in the world and a wise ruler. If she could regain her youth and get rid of the disease of aging, the world would be a different place!"
There was a blazing faith in Su Wen's eyes.
Seeing that this old eunuch was still as passionate as a young man, the old demon Cang Yu laughed out loud.
Said: "Sometimes, I really can't tell whether you are pretending or real... Hahaha..."
"Eunuch Su, you are also over a hundred years old."
"I have to say, even if you are really pretending, but you can pretend for a lifetime... then I have to give you a thumbs up."
"It's a pity that I have no interest in Lu Zhao's eternal kingship."
"The only thing I can do and the only thing I need to do is to guard the prison and protect that little Lu Gaoxu inside."
"I can't help you with anything else."
