Qi Palace.
At sunrise, a secret note was delivered to Emperor Qi's bedroom.
The person who received this secret letter before Emperor Qi's palace was Yushi Zong Chao Wei. This black-faced middle-aged man was not only the leader of the young officials of the Da Qi Dynasty, but also the best practitioner of the Yinxu Sect of the Da Qi Dynasty in the past hundred years. , one of the seven masters of the Qi Dynasty.
Such a master and dignitary, of course, has experienced countless winds and rains, landslides and tsunami in front of him without changing his color, but he just opened the secret paper and took a look, his face changed drastically, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Brother, what happened?"
A man next to him also had a dark complexion, but he looked younger than him. The most striking thing was that his eyebrows were not only as thick as ink, but there was even a trace of black air flowing from the tip of his eyebrows. This man is Cai Shi, another seven-level master of the Yinxu Sect. He was not an official in the court before, but after the change of the twelve witch gods' heads, Zong Chao was worried about the safety of Emperor Qi, and he was afraid There were changes in the palace, so he was invited out of the sect and into the Qi Palace. Therefore, Cai Shi and Zong Chaowei are not matched by official positions, but by brothers.
Zong Chao glanced at his junior brother, and stretched out his hand to pass the secret letter to him to see for himself, but his hands trembled for a moment, and he couldn't even pass the thin parchment.
Cai Shihe had never seen his senior brother so shaken, and his mood suddenly became extremely nervous. He stretched out his hand to take the secret note and only glanced at it roughly. He suddenly froze and exclaimed involuntarily: " What!"
Zong Chao swallowed hard, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
Then he took a deep breath and lowered his hands. Although he quickly calmed down, the eyes he turned to look at the bedroom behind him were full of pain and deep worry.
The change of the heads of the twelve witches and gods is too heartbreaking. Not only are the twelve witches and gods destroyed, but all the powerful inheritances of the founder of the ghost Yin Qi technique in the past have been destroyed in the world, and even the mountain gate dojo he left behind has been destroyed in sevens and eights. eight.
Although most practitioners and officials of the Great Qi Dynasty were able to understand Emperor Qi's painstaking efforts after that day, and many people understood why Emperor Qi and Zheng Xiu made a deal. Compared with before, Emperor Qi was actually less dissatisfied. But no matter what, the Twelve Witch God Heads were still destroyed, and there was no result without reason. Many practitioners left Qidu silently and no longer served Emperor Qi. This was their attitude.
Emperor Qi has been in a trance since that day, his state of mind and cultivation are extremely unstable, and he can't concentrate on handling the government affairs at all. Everything is handled by him, Xiangguo and others.
The head of the Twelve Witch Gods dealt too much blow to Emperor Qi, almost completely destroying this emperor who worked hard to rule. But now the news sent by this secret letter is that the Xiansheng Hall was destroyed, and all the remains of the ancestors inside were destroyed. The descendant of the tomb mountain took it away.
Xianshengtang is not only the ancestral tomb of Emperor Qi, what kind of people are eligible to be buried in it!
Thousand Tombs Mountain has many amazing means, even if Yan Ying's disciples are not as good as Yan Ying, at least those means have been passed on. No matter what kind of dissatisfaction he caused to destroy the Xian Temple, but taking away those remains is naturally for practice, and will not be buried properly in the place where he was buried.
The inheritance of the twelve witch gods is important, but it only makes a dynasty stronger, while the Xianshengtang is a symbol and a spiritual sustenance.
In a sense, the damage to the First Holy Church was probably more serious than the damage to the Twelve Witch Gods.
From discovering the destruction of the Xian Temple to passing the news to the palace, it normally didn't take much time. However, it took a long time for the news to reach here. This kind of abnormality is too easy to understand for Zong Chaowei.
Because the dignitaries who dealt with each link are very clear that the blows given by the twelve witch gods to Emperor Qi are already very fatal. If such news spreads to the palace again, I don't know what the consequences will be.
So such a secret letter came, and there have been many disputes and discussions between the powerful and powerful on the way.
He was one of the officials acting as the acting government of Emperor Qi at this time.
When this secret letter was passed to him, it was the last stop.
It is up to him to decide whether to tell Emperor Qi that the weight of a country and a dynasty is on his hands, how can he be calm
To inform or not to inform
How to deal with it without telling
At this time, there were countless practitioners in the Daqi Dynasty chasing and killing Bai Shanshui, so if he announced the news, many more practitioners would start chasing and killing Yan Ying's disciple
At this moment, Zong Chao's body kept getting colder and colder, and he felt inexplicably helpless.
"Come in."
At this moment, a sigh came from the bedroom.
Zong Chao took another deep breath, trying his best to calm down his face.
He lowered his head slightly, pushed open the door of the bedroom, and walked in slowly.
Emperor Qi has been in a trance these days, seeing hallucinations from time to time, so no maids and servants are allowed in the bedroom, only him resting in peace.
But can this emperor really rest in peace
The sun was already rising outside, and the windows in the bedroom were closed, but it was still dark. Song Chao felt inexplicably, as if he was walking on a quiet graveyard.
On the dragon couch in the depths of the bedroom, Emperor Qi sat in all clothes.
The moment he saw Emperor Qi's face, Zong Chao's body shook slightly again.
Emperor Qi's eyes were sunken, and his skin and flesh had shrunk. In just two or three days, he seemed to have aged dozens of years, like a skeleton.
"what's going on?"
Emperor Qi's mood seemed calm at this time, he raised his head a little stiffly, looked at Zong Chaoxuan, and asked softly.
Zong Chao hesitated for a moment and did not respond.
"You don't need to hide it from me. The vitality fluctuations of you and your junior brother are too violent. You have been with me for so many years, and I have never seen anything that makes your mood fluctuate so much." Emperor Qi sighed quietly and said, "What should come must come, and it cannot be avoided."
Zong Chaowei finally raised his head, looked at his dim candle-like eyes, and said, "The Xiansheng Hall was destroyed by the descendants of Qianmu Mountain."
Emperor Qi was stunned.
After a few breaths, he smiled inexplicably, the smile was indescribably bleak.
"Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, karma has its own retribution, conspiracy and calculation are no match for Zheng Xiu, but he still wants to compete with Zheng Xiu for the world. If I knew this, I would not put Daqi in such a situation. .”
"Help me draft an imperial edict for my own crime, and I will announce it to the world, abdicate and let the virtuous."
Zong Chaoyu couldn't comment on what Emperor Qi said about himself, but when he heard the last sentence, his breathing suddenly stopped, and he opened his mouth to speak.
Emperor Qi waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, "You and I both know that this is the best for the Great Qi Dynasty."
