Hong Jun just looked at Li Longji quietly, full of strangeness towards this old man. After all, three years ago, he saw the Emperor's personal conquest in the Lishan Palace, and he was far from being as old as he is today. Every time he came to Jinhualuo During the meeting, although Li Longji was gradually showing signs of aging, it was not as obvious as it is now.
Hong Jun had read in medical books that there is a disease in the world, which is called "loss of soul and amnesia". Sometimes he forgets all his memories completely; From Li Yuan onwards, in the huge royal family, there seems to be a family medical history.
Even though Yang Guozhong has the power to reach the heavens, the son of heaven is Ziweixing, and a monster dragon will definitely not be able to poison the emperor.
"Li Jinglong." Li Longji pointed at Mo Rigen and said slowly, "Go to the Yellow River and call the black dragon out to help me."
Mo Zhigen didn't answer, but squinted his eyes and was still thinking. Li Longji suddenly became furious, and shouted: "Reverse! Reverse! One or two of you have the heart of disobedience! Especially you! Li Jinglong! Come here! Here I pull down—"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Concubine Yang hurriedly pulled Li Longji's robe sleeves. Li Longji wanted to kill Hongjun and Hongjun with his sword, but fell back heavily, gasping for breath.
"Father!" At this time Li Heng led a group of officials into Jinhualuo, Li Longji said angrily: "Where are the soldiers?! I asked you to order soldiers!"
There are scattered ministers behind Li Heng, only one Gao Lishi can speak, the rest are some close ministers and servants, as well as Huang Yong of Dali Temple, none of the commanders of the six armies was present.
No matter how dull Hong Jun is, he can still feel that Li Longji is close to betraying relatives after not seeing him for two years. What's more, the minister with a slight wink can also see that Li Longji is seriously ill, a hero of the first generation, and when he grows old, there is only one Yang Yuhuan by his side.
However, thinking of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing who were beheaded, he couldn't feel sympathy for Li Longji at this moment.
"Yadanhou is seriously ill." Li Heng said to the crowd, "Deputy envoy Mo Zhigen promised that he would try his best to cover the evacuation of the people in Quanchang'an."
Huang Yong never expected that Li Jinglong and the Exorcist, who were unanimously disliked by everyone at the beginning, would become their only straws when the country was in crisis. Li Heng said calmly again: "Everyone, why not make arrangements now to evacuate all of Chang'an."
"Where to go?" Gao Lishi trembled, "Chang'an can't be defended?"
"I can't keep it anymore." Mo Zhigen said in a deep voice, "If you want to stay, please feel free to ask the Sixth Army to escort the royal family to move the capital temporarily in the name of personal conquest."
Li Heng took a deep breath and said: "Let's divide the troops into two groups first, and move the court to Lingwu, waiting for General Guo Ziyi to return to serve the king; the Sixth Army will escort His Majesty and retreat into Bashu."
Huang Yong couldn't help but said, "What if Anlu Mountain comes across the Yellow River?"
"Then retreat again." Li Heng said coldly, "Retreat to Liangzhou until Li Jinglong wakes up and can properly deal with An Lushan."
Lingwu is not far from Chang'an, protected by the natural danger of the Yellow River, retreating to the west is the best way. However, if the Exorcist Division cannot take down Anlu Mountain, and the rebels come west again, they will have to retreat to Liangzhou. If you withdraw again, you can only withdraw outside the customs... When all the ministers thought of this, they couldn't help but feel absurd.
"I want to personally conquer..." Jin Hua fell on the couch, and Li Longji's old voice came, but everyone had to turn a deaf ear to it.
"Let's go." Li Heng glanced at the couch, glanced at Yang Yuhuan, and said indifferently, "Kong Hongjun, you promise me that you will protect the emperor and leave Chang'an."
Hong Jun wasn't worried about Li Longji. After all, although he was old, he was still Ziweixing. No matter what the monster didn't dare to attack him directly, he said "um". All the officials dispersed one after another, and when Li Heng was about to leave, Yang Yuhuan said: "Your Highness, please stay a while, I have a few words to say."
Hong Jun was about to ask Yang Yuhuan to leave, but he stopped when he heard this.
"Abandoning the capital city, what about the ancestral temple and the country?" Yang Yuhuan said, "If An Lushan follows Dong Zhuo's example, and Li Tang's ancestral temple is completely destroyed, how will your father and emperor see the ancestors under the nine springs in the future?"
Li Heng has been bullied by the Yang family for a long time. In the final analysis, it is still because of Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong's faction gained power in the court, and now the old father has lost his soul and forgotten his words. Although he knows that he has nothing to do with the Yang family, it is a natural phenomenon that cannot be violated by manpower Unable to convince himself, he lessened his disgust towards Yang Yuhuan.
"The people are the most important, the society is the second, and the king is the least." Li Heng said in a deep voice, "The ancestors of the Li family are not humiliated enough by the fighting skills of you monsters?!"
Yang Yuhuan's expression changed when he heard the words, Hong Jun couldn't stand it, and when he was about to speak out to dissuade him, Yang Yuhuan changed his gentle expression and said sharply: "If His Royal Highness suspects that I am a monster, it is better to ask the exorcist to try it out." .What if I am a mortal?"
The depression in Li Heng's heart has reached the limit, and he pressed the prince's sword with his hand in an instant, Hong Jun immediately turned around, stood in front of Concubine Yang and said: "His Royal Highness!"
Li Heng said with a sullen face: "Get out of the way! Whose subordinate are you, I know in my heart!"
Hong Jun didn't give in at all, but Mo Zhigen pressed the back of the prince's hand with one hand, and said coldly: "Your Highness."
The six armies made a noise, all talking about "monsters making chaos and destroying our Tang Dynasty". The conflict between the Yang family and the army has been accumulated for a long time, and Li Heng has long been thinking of killing Yang Yuhuan.
"In this world, she is the only one serving your old father now." Hong Jun said, "Can you draw your sword and try?"
Everyone in the Exorcism Division is tough. Although Mo Zhigen and Li Jinglong are tough, they are still people in the world. A Hongjun who does not eat the fireworks of the world came, and Li Hengcai finally saw it. Suddenly remembering that he had heard before that the Yang family and the Kong family had a long history, so he had to swallow this breath abruptly.
Standing behind Hong Jun, Yang Yuhuan was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "The ancestor's spiritual seat must be moved away, otherwise not only your father, but also you will have no face to see the underground ancestors in the future."
"Send someone to do it..." Li Heng said to Mo Zhigen.
Yang Yuhuan said again: "The spiritual positions of the martyrs in Lingyan Pavilion must also be taken away."
Li Heng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and kept shaking the hand holding the sword hilt.
"I'll go." Hong Jun said to Yang Yuhuan, "You tell the emperor to prepare to go."
Yang Yuhuan said again: "In the palace, among the people, the family members of the ministers, women and children, etc., must be escorted by internal servants, otherwise, among the chaotic army, there will be chaos and chaos, and I'm afraid they will be humiliated."
Li Heng said in a deep voice: "I'll write a letter to you and ask someone to do it. Is there anything else?"
Yang Yuhuan looked at Li Heng quietly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. After a long time, Yang Yuhuan said softly: "No more, when your father was still awake, he always liked you. He used to be incompatible with each other, and he would fight with each other. It was my Yang family who sowed dissension on my elder brother's head, causing crowding out everywhere and making troubles."
Hong Jun's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, Yang Yuhuan's words were full of ominous meaning, as if his words were kind when he was about to die. Li Heng seemed to understand something, turned around and left without further words. Before the golden flowers fell, Yang Yuhuan said one last sentence: "Among so many children, when your father talks about you, he is always unusual. His lifetime… "
"I will be filial to him." Li Heng didn't let Yang Yuhuan continue.
"It's a deal." Yang Yuhuan said again.
Mo Zhigen winked at Hongjun, and Yang Yuhuan said in a low voice: "It's a pity that I didn't prepare cakes for you today, Hongjun; Doctor Kong saved my life in the past, and now it's his child who saved my life again." I just don’t know when I will be able to repay your kindness to the Kong family.”
Hong Jun comforted: "It will be fine, Concubine, let's go."
Yang Yuhuan summoned his servants to help the elderly Li Longji go to the apse. Hong Jun and Mo Zhigen came out through the garden. Hong Jun said, "I'm going to Lingyan Pavilion."
"Why do you want to go to Lingyan Pavilion?" Mo Zhigen really couldn't stand Hongjun sometimes, and replied, "I just agreed, does it matter if I go or not? It's urgent."
Hong Jun hesitated to speak, Mo Zhigen always felt that he didn't understand Hong Jun when he came to this critical juncture, but as he got along day by day, he often felt that Hong Jun, with his unique principles and persistence, seemed to be peeking at Hong Jun with his simple eyes. Broke too many ups and downs in the world. When the words came to his lips, he thought about it again and again, and took it back.
"Okay." Mo Rigen finally said, "Go and come back quickly."
Hong Jun nodded and said, "Go back and take care of Jing Long. I'll be back as soon as I send them out of the city."
Hongjun and Mo Rigen bid farewell to each other in the imperial garden, and went to work separately. Lingyan Pavilion is in the northwest of Xingqing Palace. In the past, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin built this small two-story attic, which enshrined the portraits and spiritual tablets of the founding heroes. Later, the important ministers of the country were invited to enshrine from time to time, but when they arrived at Luoyang, the god capital of Wu Zhou, they no longer cared about Lingyan Pavilion. Now it is a dusty two-story building.
Hong Jun slashed the lock with a flying knife, walked into the dimly lit building, and was about to take down the portrait when a voice behind him suddenly said, "Why didn't you accompany you on a date?"
Hong Jun exclaimed, and when he turned around, he saw Qingxiong still looking the same, standing in the dim sunlight, half naked, wearing a pair of dark brown trousers.
"Qingxiong!" Hong Jun never expected that he would run into Qingxiong at this moment, and he stepped forward quickly, as if he had regained his childish thoughts in the past, only wanting to jump on him. However, as soon as he took a step, he felt embarrassed and said, "You... why are you here?"
"Come and see you." Qingxiong's backlit figure seemed to emit soft light around him, and said, "Your father told you to go back to Yaojin Palace, and today you will leave the world and follow me, will you go?"
Hong Jun had too many things he wanted to ask him, but before Qingxiong thought about it, he preemptively brought up the matter again.
"Am I dying?" Hong Jun asked suddenly.
Qingxiong looked at Hongjun, his gaze was completely different from the past, as if he was looking at another person through Hongjun.
"You have been very smart since you were a child." Qingxiong said, "You are as clever as you are clumsy, and as wise as you are foolish. You will always remember who treats you well and who treats you badly."
Hong Jun didn't answer, even the way Qingxiong looked at him now, he could vaguely feel that what he was looking at was not himself, but his father, Kong Xuan, who had a brotherhood with him many years ago. God Kun can predict the future, and can deduce his life and death even if he thinks about it. Maybe Qingxiong came here today just to see him for the last time.
"Where's my father?" Hong Jun asked suddenly.
"He said, you won't go home with him." Qingxiong smiled slightly and said, "He doesn't want to see you anymore."
Hong Jun stared at Qingxiong in a daze, Qingxiong let out another long breath, as if letting go of a big stone in his heart, and said after a long time: "Hongjun, you have grown up."
Hong Jun was silent.
Qingxiong added: "If you say you can let go, you can put it down. If you choose Li Jinglong, you will never look back. You and your father are really similar. Now you are no longer the crying you who were driven off the Taihang Mountains by Chongming. Do you regret wanting to come to this world so much?"
"No regrets." Hong Jun replied with a slight smile.
Qingxiong stretched out his hand, lifted Hongjun's chin, pondered for a long time, and finally touched his side face lightly.
"From now on, you have to go alone." Qingxiong said again.
"I've always thought so." Hong Jun replied.
Qingxiong spread out in an instant, turned into countless light spots and scattered, swept across and seeped out of the Lingyan Pavilion. On the top of the second-floor attic, sat a king wearing a fiery red royal robe with hair like burning flames. In the distance, billowing black clouds are spreading towards Chang'an.
In the atrium of the Exorcism Department, Lu Xu carried the unconscious Li Jinglong into the car, stopped suddenly, and looked at the middle-aged figure who appeared in the alley at an unknown time.
In the Exorcist Department, Qiu Yongsi and others who were discussing tactics also suddenly stopped their voices and got up one after another.
"How did you get in?" Qiu Yongsi said coldly, frowning deeply.
"The door-locking talisman is based on the space talisman in Zhenlong Pagoda." Yang Guozhong was so tidy, he smiled slightly, "It might be an enchantment to others, so how can it stop me?"
All the exorcists suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they used their spells secretly, but Yang Guozhong had seen through their actions, and said with a smile: "Last time in the Daming Palace, everyone came up with brilliant tricks one after another, and they have already defeated me. You want to arrest me. Go to the Dragon Pagoda, there is no need to go to war, as long as the Immortal Venerable makes a move, I will not be able to escape."
As he said that, Yang Guozhong casually glanced at the carp demon by the pond. The carp demon instantly jumped out of the water, trotted all the way, and hid behind Qiu Yongsi.
"Xie prison." Qiu Yongsi laughed instead, shook out the folding fan in his hand, stood in front of a group of exorcists, and teased, "It's hard to deal with the mess you made, you don't seem to know me very well, I People always like to do the opposite, for example, if you think I will definitely not take you back to the tower today, I have to do it."
As he said that, Qiu Yongsi shook his pen and replied: "No matter what you say, it is absolutely impossible to let you go today."
A luminous rune like flowing water flowed out of Qiu Yongsi's pen in an instant, and it began to spin around Yang Guozhong's body in an instant.
Yang Guozhong stood with his hands behind his back, but he was very confident, and said, "How about making another deal?"
Artest said coldly: "I made a deal with you last time, and I was almost ruined by you, so I can't trust you anymore."
"Detain me." Yang Guozhong said, "If you don't believe me again, just take me back to the tower at any time."
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Yongsi's rune took shape with a "buzz", and it converged towards Yang Guozhong, turning into three blue halos, binding him tightly.
Being bound like this, Yang Guozhong suddenly staggered and knelt down on the ground. Qiu Yongsi was holding a talisman in his hand, his brows were deeply furrowed, the talisman couldn't be pasted no matter what. And as long as the talisman paper is pasted and the Dragon Subduing Formation is activated, Yang Guozhong will be directly teleported back to the Dragon Town Pagoda, and he will not be able to escape again.
"Do it!" Lu Xu urged.
Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "If you paste this talisman, you may miss the chance to save your companion. It's not worth it, a life for a life, now throw me into the abyss of Zhenlong Pagoda, but no one can do it anymore." I saved your life, Qiu, Yong, and Si."
Qiu Yongsi's finger holding the talisman trembled slightly, and tried to stick it to Yang Guozhong's forehead several times, but in the end, he put away the talisman paper by mistake.
"Speak." Qiu Yongsi said.
"Take me and Hong Jun to see Anlu Mountain." Yang Guozhong said, "God Kun's plan is doomed to fail, only I can save him."
Lu Xu: "..."
Everyone looked at each other, Yang Guozhong looked at Lu Xu, even Qiu Yongsi didn't know the inside story, everyone turned to Lu Xu, Lu Xu tremblingly said: "Why do you know... Kun God's plan?"
Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "The Anlu Mountain today has extremely powerful power, and it has absorbed an almost excessive amount of hostility from the world from this war for its own use. But without the demon seed, it can never retain the demonic energy. That's why you always see demon soldiers, demon generals, and billowing black clouds."
"That's why it must be released after the suffocation it absorbs is transformed into 'demonic energy', otherwise it will dissipate. It still needs the demonic seed on Hong Jun's body."
"Continue." Qiu Yongsi said coldly.
"To 'recast' the Peacock Daming King, the demon seed must be taken out." Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground, and said slowly, "The demon seed has been connected to Hongjun's three souls and seven souls. If you take it out forcibly, it will hurt everyone." The three souls and seven souls will be wiped out. Kun God's plan is to use the heart lamp used by Li Jinglong to separate the demon seeds first, and restore the broken three souls and seven souls of King Peacock Daming to pure energy mana. The third step is to It is to recast its soul."
Lu Xu's face had turned livid, and he murmured, "Xie Prison."
A strange smile appeared on Yang Guozhong's face, and he said slowly: "This is the first time I have proposed the method to Kong Xuan, but once the demon seed leaves Hong Jun's body, the demon energy will be forcibly drawn from An Lushan's body. Suck it away, at that time, Hong Jun will be surrounded by these three thousand nightmares, the breath of life and death, and endless abandonment, and the demon will be born, who can guarantee that the power of Li Jinglong's heart lamp is enough to break through this demon energy?"
Qiu Yongsi murmured: "Xiao prison, you have never given up. What you really want is the demon seed on Hongjun..."
"That's right." Yang Guozhong said, "Let me join Hongjun's soul. I will devour his demon seed and absorb his devil energy. When that moment comes, I will take away the demon seed, and you will cast Hongjun's three souls and seven souls again." ,but me… "
Qiu Yongsi said: "You will also bring about catastrophe."
Yang Guozhong: "That's right... When the powerful demonic energy pours in, it can make me break through the body of a flood dragon and transform into a dragon, and the catastrophe will follow..."
Qiu Yongsi: "You may be wiped out in the sky..."
Yang Guozhong: "Maybe I will successfully cross the catastrophe and become a dragon..."
Qiu Yongsi and Yang Guozhong looked at each other, and the atrium of the Exorcism Department was silent.
