"His Majesty!"
As soon as this figure appeared, everyone present except Mingyu knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live three times. The civil servants and military generals were even more tearful, unable to control themselves.
Wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragons, Yan Zhou ignored the crowd and only looked at the woman in front of her, "Queen, you are the one who wants to see me. Now that I have come out, why don't you speak?"
He glanced at the head, and smiled in a teasing tone: "The national teacher is rebellious, so he should be beheaded. You have done a good job."
"..."
Mingyu was shaking all over, it was the fear buried deep in her bones. However, she has been making arrangements for a long time, and with the idea of success or benevolence, she forced herself to stand up, "Yanzhou, now the Eighteenth Road Jinglu is in my hands, and half of the forbidden troops inside and outside the imperial city obey my orders. Today is you!" the time of death!"
"Rebel, I knew you were planning something wrong!"
"Come on, get it for me!"
The general and the others shouted angrily, Yan Zhou waved his hand, and even said with a strange look: "Queen, I treat you well..."
"Yes! But the hatred of the subjugation of the country, the revenge of killing the father, has to be avenged!"
"oh?"
Yan Zhou looked at her, and suddenly laughed twice, "Do you know what I like most about you? It's your ambition. A woman without ambition is not worthy of being my queen. But with this arrangement, you want to kill me Is it?"
"snort!"
Mingyu snorted coldly, waved her hand, and a dozen or so figures jumped out of the void, they were the seventeen masters who were ordered to enter the capital—Gu Yu and Shao Le didn't want to work for someone to obtain the secrets of heaven and man. After that, he slipped away early.
"Not bad, but not enough."
"Is it enough? You won't know until you fight!"
As Mingyu was talking, he suddenly pushed forward with both hands, a large cloud of purple flames gushed out from the ground, and the temperature soared in a radius of hundreds of feet, forming an airtight space full of purple flames, covering the opponent completely.
Almost in the blink of an eye, in the huge space, the air, soil, bluestone ground, and the building of the mountain gate disappeared without a trace, as if they had been completely burned by the flames.
Only the figure was still standing where it was, without moving.
"Queen, you and I are one realm apart, you can't hurt me."
"Is it?"
boom!
As soon as the words fell, a majestic aura erupted from Mingyu's body, as if it had been deliberately suppressed in the body for a long time, and it was not fully revealed until this moment.
"Heaven and Human Realm!"
"When did she reach the heaven-human realm?"
Everyone present was stunned and astonished. They saw that the purple fire instantly turned into nothingness, as if it had turned into gas and melted into the void, but wherever it went, the destructiveness was stronger than before.
"Oh, this is worth my shot!"
Yan Zhou flickered and disappeared, followed by everyone who felt the light was dazzling, obviously the sun had not yet fully risen, but there was an incomparably shining golden light in the sky.
The golden light transformed into the shape of a seal, which was pressed down with a bang.
boom!
The void flame was smashed by the seal, and quickly dissipated like the ebb tide of the sea, and finally spit out a figure, and fell to the ground in extreme embarrassment.
They are both in the realm of heaven and man, but just one face-to-face can tell the winner. Mingyu's clothes were tattered, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, and he asked with great fear, "You, have you reached the Ascension Realm?"
"No, there's something missing, but I'll let you see for yourself."
Yan Zhou beckoned, and the seal flew over and landed on the palm of his left hand. It was a golden ancient seal, seemingly real or unreal, with a vast and inexplicable aura.
He took a big cloak casually, covered Mingyu, and said: "Take your mother back to the palace, so she can take care of her!"
"yes!"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and trotted over to carry Mingyu into the chariot. Mingyu kept struggling, with despair, anger and collapsed belief, she shouted: "Yan Zhou, why didn't you kill me? Yan Zhou!"
"How could I be willing to kill you? You are my queen in this life, and when we ascend to the upper world, you will still be my queen!"
Mingyu's chariot gradually went away, and Yan Zhou walked down the stone steps slowly, with his right hand empty, "Chen Zhong, I need to worry about you."
"My humble minister is ashamed, I hope His Majesty is safe!"
The general knelt on the ground and wept bitterly again.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time, the seventeen people came to besiege and kill the officials, and then Yan Zhou was handed over to Mingyu to deal with. Now that Mingyu has been turned into scum in seconds, how about a fart
But they didn't dare to escape, so they had to wait where they were, trembling.
And Yan Zhou looked around, completely ignoring them, and suddenly said: "Design!"
"The minister is here!"
A civil servant hurried out.
"Xuan Zhenzi plotted rebellion. His crime is unforgivable. It is said to be the first in Jinglu, and the nine clans will be punished!"
"yes!"
"Chen Zhong has made meritorious service in protecting the country, he has been granted the title of teacher of the country, and he is in charge of Zixu Temple."
"yes!"
"Order Beidi, Nanjiang, and Xihuang to come and surrender within seven days!"
"yes!"
The will was passed down one after another, and everyone was terrified when they heard it. Just after they came out, they were going to fight again? Qiyuan's society is now in ruins, but he can't bear to toss about it.
The courtier was about to persuade them, but Yan Zhou stopped him first and walked up to the seventeen people.
"Can you be convicted?"
"..."
Those guys look at me, I look at you, they all knelt down, "Convicted!"
"Okay! Right now is the time for employing people, so I'll make an exception..."
With a wave of his hand, he placed restrictions on more than a dozen people, "Chen Zhong, they are under your control."
"yes!"
After Yan Zhou ordered many things, he appeared at the highest point of the building in the imperial city.
He overlooked the huge capital city and hundreds of thousands of people, there was no trace of humanity in his eyes, and with a slight retraction of his left hand, the ancient seal disappeared.
…
In a place hundreds of miles away from the capital, Gu Yu and Shao Le were drinking in a restaurant.
"It is said that Yanzhou has left the customs and Mingyu is under house arrest in the palace..."
Shao Le took a sip of the food, quite puzzled, "She is doing treason and usurping the throne, but she is still alive, I don't understand what Yan Zhou is thinking."
"Perhaps he has real feelings. I'm curious about Yan Zhou's strength. I'm afraid it's even stronger than I imagined."
While the two of them were talking, there was a commotion downstairs, but a few yamen servants came over and posted a notice on the opposite wall. Gu Yu took a look, to the effect that the imperial court wanted the latest conscription to wait for the expedition.
"Qiyuan's situation has collapsed, and the people are struggling to survive, yet they still want to fight?" Shao Le was also very surprised.
"No matter how bad the situation is, as long as the king is safe, there will be no complete turmoil. Qiyuan has already occupied the three kingdoms. If there is another war, it must be directed at the grasslands, snowy regions and southern borders. No one has achieved unification for hundreds of years. Yanzhou is going to do it. The first person."
"But why is he obsessed with unity? Could it be helpful to practice... Hiss!"
Shao Le stopped talking, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I know what Yan Zhoucun is thinking about."
"I know it too!"
The two looked at each other, dipped their fingers in the wine, and each wrote a word on the table: Xi!
India, the letter also held by the ruling.
The seal is the seal. The emperor's seal is called the seal, and jade is the only one.
Xi, has always been the embodiment of power, representing the supreme under heaven. An emperor in the realm of heaven and man will not waste people and money for the unification of the mortal world, but only for the road of greatness.
Combined with what Mingyu said, the mystery of the realm of heaven and man is to keep the mind of the Tao and transform the mind of the Tao into things. From this point of view, Yanzhou's Taoism should be "the son of heaven is the supreme, invincible in the world".
It is not difficult to understand why he launched a war to destroy the two countries. It is to win the luck of the two countries and further improve his Taoism.
…
Northland, Snowfield.
It is summer elsewhere, but here it is cold all year round, with endless snowfall. And above the vast snowy area, the cold wind was like a knife, and a slender figure walked slowly.
Wearing a cloud crown in feathers and a clear face, it is Shi Qian who had a relationship with Gu Yu once.
He did not enter the capital, but he also did a lot of things for Mingyu and obtained the law of heaven and man. Originally planned to retreat and clean up at Mangshan Taoist Temple, but was disrupted by an imperial edict.
There is no country in the Northland, only a continuous walled city, dividing the territory, and respecting strength.
Several leaders received Yanzhou's seven-day ultimatum, and since they were unwilling to bow their heads and surrender, they were determined to fight, so they sent a call to the Taoist Academy. In their view, monks can't run away from temples if they can run away, and Taoist families have great careers, which is a natural constraint.
But who ever thought that Shi Qian would give up as soon as he said it, and go away alone.
It's not that he doesn't feel distressed, but he is even more unwilling to work for the war and participate in this kind of crap.
"Hey, when personal strength can crush everything, all strategic calculations become a joke. Only by being promoted to heaven can you have some right to speak. It seems that you will have to live in seclusion for a while."
Shi Qian sighed, his figure drifted away, and he escaped into the flying snow.
…
Southern Xinjiang, deep in the mountains.
Qi Yuan's envoy was surrounded by a group of crooked monsters, but he did not show any timidity. He said, "The lord only gave me seven days, and it took me six days to come here. You still have one more day to think about it."
"you!"
An elder stepped forward angrily, but was shouted back by Wu Zu.
"Messenger, please go to rest first, let us think about it."
Wu Zu asked the envoy to go down, but the bystanders were puzzled and asked: "You have always said that Qiyuan's wolf is ambitious and should not be approached, why do you waver now?"
"I can't help it either."
Wu Zu's figure became more and more stooped. Originally, he was half beautiful and half ugly. After Langda and Dangan's failure to transform witches, and Yintu's backlash against him, his energy was greatly weakened, and he was still supporting himself with only one breath. .
"Since Yanzhou left the customs, I have been divination repeatedly, and I know that the destiny is like this. If we force the war, we will kill ourselves in the southern border!"
"But the children won't agree. They have been grudges for hundreds of years, and they can't surrender to the northerners!"
The class divisions in southern Xinjiang are very serious, but when the wishes of the middle and lower classes can be reached, the leaders have to pay attention to the problem.
Wu Zu also knew this very well, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and left slowly with a cane.
…
"The lord of the country gives you seven days..."
"Come on, cut off his tongue!"
"You, you..."
"Gouged out his eyes again and hung him out of the tent!"
"ah!"
Before the envoy of Qiyuan could finish his sentence, he was ravaged by a group of big men and was hung on the tall flagpole outside the big tent like a piece of rag.
"Boys!"
Tuoya leaped out on a barge, raised Fang Tianhua's axe, and pointed at the endless grasslands and mountains full of soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep, "Qiyuan wants me to surrender, will you agree?"
"No!"
"Get out of the grassland!"
"Xihuang will never be a slave!"
"..."
Standing in the corner, Lu Xuanying watched all this silently, couldn't help sighing inwardly, and took one last look at Toya.
To be honest, life with Toya was very exciting, but she had more important things to do. Gu Yu and Shao Le didn't go back to the grassland at all, they just sent a message asking her to take everyone to transfer to avoid war.
Against Shang Qiyuan, the grassland is like hitting a stone with an egg, no amount of help will help.
So what they have to do now is to be promoted to heaven as soon as possible. Even though this is a game, Gu Yu is still heartbroken. Toya is most likely his wife, little soap or eldest daughter, but unfortunately there is no way.
As the saying goes, Gou Li flies up to life and death, just because of misfortune and good fortune, he avoids it...
