Volume 3 The Building Will Fall Chapter 156 Farewell Creed
"Boom!"
A burst of thunder suddenly pierced the night sky of Chang'an, and the wind howled suddenly, and heavy snow fell down, making all the civil and military officials in front of the palace tremble with cold.
Li Shen was startled, shouted "no", turned around and kicked open the palace door - only to see Li Wei with disheveled hair and vertical feet, hanging in the middle of the hall. From the time he ascended the throne to his death, he only did twenty-three tasks.
Emperor of Heaven.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
"The Emperor hanged himself!"
The officials rushed into the hall, all wailing and crying bitterly.
Wu Xiao lay on his back on the dragon chair, caressing the throne fondly, his eyes greedy: "I never thought that I, Wu Xiao, would be able to sit on this chair one day."
"National thief! What qualifications do you have to sit on the throne? Get off now!"
"Treasonous and unethical! Treasonous and unethical!"
The ministers scolded them, but Wu Xiao scared them all away with one look, "Ah... a group of poor and rotten scholars, the situation is changing, Huang Wei is taking turns, the strength of his Li family has come to an end, from now on Jiangshan should be named Wu
,Hahaha……"
"That's unreasonable!" Li Miao rushed up to the hall with his sword. Before he could swing his sword, Wu Xiao knocked him away with a palm from the air.
"Poof!" Li Miao fell to the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and died.
"You overestimate your capabilities," Wu Xiao glanced at the ministers coldly and asked, "Who else among you is dissatisfied?"
"I don't accept it!"
"I'm not convinced either! How can you, a young man with unknown origins, be qualified to be the emperor?"
"Even if you kill us all tonight, we will never recognize a traitor as emperor!"
Most of the officials stood up to oppose, held their heads high and did not lose their integrity.
"Very good, I'm too lazy to settle them one by one. You brought this on yourselves." Wu Xiao was by no means a soft-hearted person. He accumulated a burst of energy in his palms and suddenly swatted at the ministers!
With a series of screams, all the officials who opposed were shocked to death in the main hall.
The rest are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are so scared that their legs and feet are weak and they are at a loss.
He killed dozens of people in one breath, but Wu Xiao didn't take it seriously. Instead, his face showed pride and amusement. He held his chin, stared at the surviving ministers, and said: "The demon soldiers will occupy Chang'an soon. Although I promised Li
Wei will not slaughter the city, but you also know that the nature of those monsters is difficult to fathom, and killing is inevitable. But if you know the current situation and obey me, I can ensure that your family will avoid disaster."
The ministers looked at each other in shock.
"I'll give you three times to think about it, three, two—"
"See...His Majesty the Emperor!"
The ministers knelt down and bowed their heads to the ground, not out of respect, but out of cowardice and fear.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha..."
Wu Xiao's wild laughter filled the entire palace.
…
…
Late at night in heavy snow, above the Yellow River.
The ink boat sailed cautiously on the Yellow River. The sudden heavy snow dyed the color of the ink boat white, and the soldiers on guard at night were blown by the cold wind and their faces turned red.
Yan Yunting stood on the bow of the ship holding a sword, staring at the night sky intently, because Bai Xi said that once the spirit pigeon is found, it means that Li Yu has sent the news.
The news that I can’t wait for, the invisible night, the endless snow, the heart that can’t let go... these are all the truest portrayals of this world.
"Cuckoo..." Suddenly, a burst of pigeons came from outside on the snowy night.
Yan Yunting suddenly regained his energy. He shook off the snow on his body and happily went out - only to see a fearless white pigeon swooping down among the snow in the sky. Its body was the same color as the white snow. If you don't look closely,
It's really hard to spot its camouflage.
Just as Yan Yunting was about to reach out to pick it up, a white figure took the lead and held the white dove in his hand. Lu Gengyao?
"How's it going? Senior brother, what news did the young master bring back from Chang'an?" Bai Xi and others rushed to the deck after hearing the news.
Lu Gengyao took off the letter from the white dove, took a look at it, his face changed with shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "The Nine Nether demon soldiers have conquered Chang'an, and the emperor was forced by Wu Xiao to hang himself in the Xuanzheng Hall. Wu Xiao tried to usurp the throne and was killed in court.
The censor Li Miao is dead..."
"Isn't Li Miao... the young master's biological brother?" Bai Xi said in shock.
Lu Gengyao clenched the note tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Junior brother has decided to assassinate Wu Xiao tonight. If the assassination fails..." He turned to look at Yan Yunting aside, but stopped talking in jealousy.
"Give me the creed!" Yan Yunting snatched the creed from Lu Gengyao's hand and looked at the last row of farewell words: "If the assassination fails, I will definitely die. Please help me tell Yan Yunting that the one hundred thousand taels
I'm just afraid I'll have to pay it back in my next life...'
"How can the young master be Wu Xiao's opponent? The young master... the young master..." Bai Xi kept shaking his head, grabbing Lu Gengyao's arm and begging: "Elder brother, please write a letter quickly to tell the young master not to do stupid things.
, let her wait for us for one more day, as soon as reinforcements from Hanzhou arrive, we will rush in to save her!"
Lu Gengyao shook his head, "It's not like you don't know Junior Brother's character. Li Miao is his last relative alive. He will definitely kill Wu Xiao. No one can stop him."
Qing Mingzi also expressed regret: "I know it is like a moth flying into a flame, but I am determined. I am very happy that the Tianshan Sect has such a disciple..."
"Bullshit!" Yan Yunting tore the creed into pieces, "He obviously has the wrong strings in his mind and does things that are beyond his own control!"
"My junior brother is so righteous, what do you know?" Lu Gengyao asked.
"I don't care what his righteousness is, in short, he owes me a hundred thousand taels, and I will never let him die so easily!" Yan Yunting walked to the top of the ship angrily.
"Yan Yunting, what are you going to do?" Bai Xi chased after him and asked.
"Save people." Yan Yunting said forcefully.
Bai Xi grabbed Yan Yunting and said, "Are you crazy? Chang'an City has been captured by demon soldiers. You can't even get in. How can you save him?"
Yan Yunting shook off Bai Xi, "If you don't go, there's nothing you can do. If you go, there's always a way -"
"Wait a minute, young man."
The person who stopped Yan Yunting was actually Gong Shu Quan, who had never said a word to him before, "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. It's hard for a strong man to return once he's gone. Even if he knows it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he still has the courage to go alone. It's good."
, you are very responsible, and I am here to help you,”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Yunting, "Just this spring, I just designed a set of drainage mechanisms for the Daming Palace. From the Taiqing Pool in the palace to the east moat, there is a special flood discharge mechanism.
The outlet of the drainage channel is built under the bridge pier on the right side of the east moat. It can be seen by diving three feet;
If you find the drainage outlet, crawl along it and keep turning to the left whenever you encounter a turn. The end of the exit is Taiqing Lake. Xuanzheng Palace is on the southeast side of Taiqing Lake. It is very well built.
It’s so majestic that you can see it as soon as you step ashore.”
For a professional killer, nothing is more effective than a detailed map. Yan Yunting took the scroll, thanked Gong Shuquan, and stepped onto the wooden kite resolutely.
"Yan Yunting, you must bring the young master back, and you... you must also come back safely." Bai Xi clasped his hands on his chest, instructing and praying, with extremely sincere eyes.
I'm afraid that this trip will be a disaster. Yan Yunting didn't dare to promise easily, so he could only say softly: "I'll try my best." After that, he drove the wooden kite and flew into the night sky against the wind and snow.
