Chapter 278 Imperial War

As night fell, the emperor, who had been noisy all day long, returned to tranquility. In the sky, two crescent moons exuded a cool brilliance, falling down, covering the whole earth with a veil. "

The long street of the imperial capital, which is full of messy gravel, is wrapped in the brilliance of the crescent moon, and it becomes colder and colder. The imperial capital is sparsely populated, and only some workers are carrying waste rocks and repairing the dilapidated places.

Square shop, kitchen.

Bu Fang squinted, holding a keel kitchen knife in his hand, and juggling with the knife, cut a piece of plump dragon meat into small pieces, then lit a fire, heated up the pot, and stimulated the surging true energy in his body. Made this dragon meat again.

Although this dragon meat is only the eighth-rank sub-dragon meat, the fat and meat of this dragon meat has an indescribable taste and taste because of the watering of spiritual energy, at least it is a taste that can make people intoxicated.

Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue eagerly on one side, staring at the drunken dragon meat ribs that Bu Fang had just fished out from the pot, exuding a strong aroma.

Dragon meat... that tastes absolutely delicious!

After Bu Fang tasted a piece, he couldn't help being intoxicated by the deliciousness. The taste of this dragon meat is really good, the elasticity is excellent, and the meat is very plump.

When the drunk pork ribs were placed in front of Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, who had been looking forward to it all night, finally couldn't help it, and began to hum continuously while holding the porcelain bowl, eating it with great gusto.

The meat of this large lizard is the most delicious, and it is even more delicious when it is cooked by Bu Fang.

Seeing Xiao Hei eating with gusto, the corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up slightly, but he also felt a little pity in his heart. If there is delicious fruit vinegar at this moment, he can try it made with eighth-grade Yalong liver Dragon liver popsicles, but unfortunately, this delicacy has too high requirements for fruit vinegar, if there is no good fruit vinegar, the dragon liver will be ruined.

Bu Fang felt that he needed to find some time to brew some fruit vinegar, but this was a long way to go.

After practicing other dishes for a while, Bu Bianyi called it a day and returned to his room, ready to sleep. He had to keep sleeping so that he could maintain his state and allow himself to devote himself wholeheartedly to cooking the dishes. .

After a while, Bu Fang's even breathing sound came from Bu Fang's room.

...

Qingfeng Imperial Capital, Daxiong Hall.

The lights in the Daxiong Hall were dim, and there were graceful figures.

Many ministers of the empire gathered here to discuss major national affairs. The current Qingfeng Empire is indeed in turmoil, and all the ministers are very terrified.

As dignitaries of the imperial capital, they are naturally aware of the current situation of the Qingfeng Empire. The seven major counties are now in chaos, with spirit beasts attacking the city and rebel uprisings.

This is simply unimaginable for these people, and no one knows why the empire has become so chaotic in a short period of time.

Ji Chengxue, the new emperor, is not a fool. He has been conscientious since he succeeded to the throne, handling the affairs of the empire in an orderly manner. There is no reason for such chaos.

The Xiao family father and son sat cross-legged in the hall, closed their eyes and meditated, turning a blind eye to the ministers who were constantly arguing around them.

And Ji Chengxue, who was directly above the main hall, also frowned, and sighed long after seeing the various expressions of the ministers below.

suddenly.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, like heavy footsteps, and then a eunuch rushed in from outside the hall in a panic.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, outside...someone is carrying a coffin and wants to see His Majesty!" The eunuch said tremblingly with a face full of panic, who is so bold to carry the coffin into the palace.

Ji Chengxue sat up straight suddenly, and the father and son of the Xiao family who closed their eyes and meditated also opened their eyes.

The atmosphere outside the hall was a bit oppressive, and then heavy footsteps sounded, and several figures walked in slowly from outside the hall, carrying the dark and cold coffin.

A gust of cold wind howled in the hall in an instant, making the court ministers who were chattering non-stop silent.

The atmosphere is afraid to come out.

Four figures, wearing black robes and black hats, could not see their faces clearly, and slowly stepped into the Daxiong Hall.

Under everyone's gaze, he came to the center of the hall unhurriedly, and put the coffin on the ground with a bang, which seemed to make the hall tremble.

"Following the order of King Yu, we have delivered the coffin."

A hoarse voice came from one of them, and then the four of them bowed their hands to Ji Chengxue, who was sitting on a high seat, as a gesture of courtesy, then they turned around and walked out of the hall, preparing to leave.

"How unreasonable! Presumptuous!"

Xiao Meng's eyes seemed to burst out with brilliance, he slapped it down with a palm, and with a roar, he galloped out, chasing after the four people who were about to leave the Daxiong Hall, and the guards in the palace followed behind him.

Ji Chengxue ignored Xiao Meng who was chasing him out, but slowly walked down the hall with a dull expression, and came to the coffin.

Xiao Yue stepped forward to protect Ji Chengxue, in case there was any danger in the coffin, but when the lid of the coffin was pushed away, there was no danger, the other party simply came to deliver the coffin.

But when everyone saw the person in the coffin, they were all silent.

The one who was lying quietly in the coffin was Lian Fu, who was covered in wounds and had several large blood holes pierced through his chest.

Xiao Yue was silent and sighed lightly, but also didn't know how to comfort Ji Chengxue.

Sure enough, King Yu did everything, even the fall of the manager was caused by Ji Chengyu.

Xiao Meng, who was chasing after him, came back soon. His face was so gloomy that water dripped out. He fought with those four people. None of them were simple characters. Those people, no way, the other party didn't want to fight him and insisted on retreating, so he had no choice but to come back.

Xiao Meng also saw Lian Fu's body and sighed softly.

"Bury Director Lian's body well." After a long time, the solemn atmosphere in the hall was broken, and Ji Chengxue arranged for people to take Lian Fu's body down.

Rumble! !

There was a violent tremor, and the entire Daxiong Hall trembled. Everyone in the hall showed panic, and rushed out of the hall one after another.

The embarrassed guards came in a panic, and the faces of these guards were full of panic.

"Your Majesty! The treasury has been robbed!"

The guard's lips were trembling. To them, the treasury of a country was actually robbed. This was like a fantasy to them. There were at least thousands of guards surrounding the treasury, but they were still being robbed alive. For the majesty of the Qingfeng Empire, it was simply a heavy blow.

Ji Chengxue's face immediately changed when he heard that, the current national treasury is the last reliance of their Qingfeng Empire, and there is no room for loss.

Everyone came to the treasury in a panic. The fortified gate of the treasury was actually smashed into a huge hole by a living person, and the gate was smashed and distorted.

Everyone took a deep breath, all startled by this terrifying scene.

However, Ji Chengxue quickly came out of the treasury, heaving a long breath, with relief on his face.

"Your Majesty, what is missing from the treasury?" Xiao Meng asked with a frown.

"The belongings are all there, but only one thing is missing." Ji Chengxue felt a little rejoiced in her heart, but looked at Xiao Meng with a wry smile, and said slowly: "The missing thing is the Soul Orb."

"Huh? Soul Orb? The Soul Orb that was snatched by Zhao Musheng at the beginning and abandoned by him?" Xiao Meng was stunned and asked in doubt.

"Yes, but in this way, the thief may be a member of the sect. After all, the dead soul orb was originally the treasure of the sect. Now they want to snatch it back... it is understandable."

Ji Chengxue's complexion was not very good. A country's treasury, but people can come and go freely. This simply ignores the majesty of the Qingfeng Empire, but one thing is certain, the person who stole the treasury is absolutely terrifying.

"The Soul Bead is still a semi-divine weapon, the person who stole it...what's the plan?" Xiao Meng narrowed his eyes, but his heart felt a little heavy.

...

In the Imperial Inn.

The venerable Asura Sect with a full face was playing with the palm-sized gray bead in his hand. The bead contained brilliance, and it was densely covered with mysterious lines that could not be seen through at all.

"The Soul Bead... I finally got it." The gully on the Venerable's face suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but suppressed a smile.

The outside of the imperial capital was already in chaos, and the guards were constantly walking through the imperial capital, constantly patrolling the guards.

Tremblingly, he took out a jade talisman from Hualian, the venerable pulled at the corner of his mouth and crushed it instantly, a roaring phantom spirit floated out of the jade talisman, baring its teeth and claws.

The venerable cast a disdainful glance at the soul, and lifted the soul bead casually. With a thought, a huge suction force burst out from the soul bead, absorbing the spirit of Xia Yu who was flailing his claws into it.

Xia Yu's soulful eyes were filled with panic, and soon disappeared.

After absorbing Xia Yu's soul, the pattern on the soul bead suddenly lit up, and then the light flickered, and black smoke flowed in it.

"At first, I wanted to slaughter a city as an introduction to the awakening of the Soul Orb, but I didn't expect to find the soul of a Supreme Being in the body. Although it is not a real Supreme, it is enough as an introduction to awakening the Soul Orb." Venerable Squinting and laughing.

"My Asura Sect's great cause of recovery is finally about to begin..."

...

About half a month later, everyone in the imperial capital was panicked.

However, none of this has anything to do with Bu Fang. He is still operating as usual, practicing knife and carving skills, teaching Yu Fu and Xiao Xiaolong new dishes, testing their mastery of the dishes, and so on.

In his spare time, he pulled a chair and lay curled up in front of the small shop, looking at the boundless sky, drowsy.

However, within half a month, the entire Qingfeng Empire fell into complete chaos, and wars broke out everywhere. Ji Chengyu led his army to fight again and again, and had captured many imperial cities and occupied a large county.

This is a painful topic for the emperor. Xiao Meng led the army to attack Ji Chengyu with his army, while Xiao Yue stayed behind in the imperial capital.

When the Qingfeng Empire was in chaos, the group of the Manshen Temple in the barren land also came back disheartened. Their mood at this moment is not much better than that of the Qingfeng Empire Emperor, because they went to the Mandian of the Qingfeng Empire Great Elder Xia Yu...has fallen!

A boss of the Manshen Temple fell, which caused the Manshen Temple to be completely chaotic.

In the midst of this chaos, Bu Fang, who was huddled in front of his small shop with a chair pulled, opened his sleepy eyes, and once again started a new temporary task arranged by the system.

And the reward for this task is to give Bu Fang a sudden heartbeat. (To be continued.)
