Chapter 3010 Countless Calculations
Tianyao Mountain.
The bustling crowd slowly walked towards the Haechi statue.
Tianyao Mountain is a vast and sparsely populated area. There are about ten thousand Xiezhi tribes and three to four thousand cultivators living there. They rarely have contact with each other on weekdays. Now that they rarely get together, they talk more.
"Why was the imperial court meeting suddenly held? Is there anything big going on?"
"This is not nonsense. How can it happen if it is not a big deal? Why don't you guess what the big deal is."
"Most likely they have declared war with Liangmiao Kingdom again."
"We just declared war last time, and are we going to do it again this time?"
"Isn't that an armistice? We are so close to them, and there must be a result. I agree to fight, and fight hard."
"It's not necessarily Liangmiao Kingdom. I think it has something to do with the three Gozen families."
"what relationship?"
"I don't know, but don't you think so? A lot of things have happened in Tianyao Mountain recently, and they are all related to them."
"Are you the one who was arrested recently? Be careful that you are also..."
At this time, a tall guard walked past quickly, and several Haezhi tribe members immediately shut their mouths.
"It's from the Zheng family..."
"Speaking of which, my little nephew was taken away by them and his whereabouts are still unknown."
"Isn't he very good? What did he do this time?"
"Who knows, maybe you just scolded them a few times?"
"I think I've also scolded you. Alas, the three Yuqian families are getting more and more..."
At this time, a short guard walked past quickly and looked back at them, and they immediately shut up again.
"From the Lu family..."
This time, no one picked up the fight, and they slowly moved around the statue in silence.
The thousand-foot-tall statue of the god towered into the clouds, as if it sensed the arrival of everyone, and its whole body glowed with a different brilliance.
The five-color halo unfolded layer by layer, completely covering a radius of hundreds of miles.
The Haezhi people don’t think it’s unusual. The appearance of sacred statues is a major feature of the imperial court meeting. If not, the imperial court meeting would not appear so sacred. It is said that every word spoken in the court meeting will be passed on to the ears of the ancestors. , the statue of the god will also express something, and express his thoughts through the king.
Soon, nearly ten thousand people gathered around the statue.
Everyone looked solemn and no longer dared to whisper.
On the outer layer are the Haizhi tribe and ordinary practitioners, and on the inner layer are the guards of the three imperial families. They all hold law enforcement weapons and look around vigilantly. Just like the three sculptures around the statue, they seem to be the most loyal guards. Inside are the heads or acting heads of the three Yuqian families, as well as four generals.
They stood in a row facing each other, nodding to each other, and there was no hostility in their eyes.
In front of them, directly opposite the Haechi statue, there was an altar.
Various sacrifices have been prepared on the altar, but the sacrificers have not yet come.
It has been a rule for thousands of years that the ancestors must be sacrificed before the imperial court meeting. The chief sacrifice can only be the head of the country. Whether the chief priest delays the time or the sacrifices are insufficient, it is disrespectful to the ancestors and will definitely not be good for the Haechi Kingdom.
Of course, this never happened.
Hilltop palace.
The real figures of Wei Guo and Zhen Guo were guarding the door, their expressions a little bad.
"Why hasn't the king come out yet?"
"It's only half an hour before the court meeting starts. According to the past rules, the sacrifice will start soon."
Xie Xun frowned slightly, "Is something going to happen?"
Xie An hesitated for a moment and said quickly, "No way? Do they still dare to attack the king? Besides, the heads of the three Yuqian families are all with the statue, and no one else has the ability to hurt the king, right?"
Xie Xun's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked at him and said, "Do you know the strength of the king?"
"have no idea."
Xie An shook his head, as if thinking, "No one has ever seen the king take action, but it shouldn't be bad. After all, he is also a strong man who passed the king's trial. At that time, it seemed that only the king passed, and everyone else Even if they die inside, none of those people are weak."
Xie Xun nodded unconsciously, "What you said makes sense, but I'm always a little worried."
"Would you like to go and have a look again?"
Xie An looked at the door of the palace, a little worried, "If the time of sacrifice is delayed, the statue will probably not be happy, and the value of the imperial court meeting will be greatly reduced."
"If we can't hold sacrifices normally, can the court meeting still start?"
Xie Xun paused, "Would the Lord know something? What did the three Yuqian families say?"
"The king doesn't want the four generals to conflict with the three imperial families?"
Xie An understood, and felt as if someone had tugged at his heart, "Oh, this is indeed something the king can do. No matter what happens between us and the three families, he will always be the peacemaker, but this time is different, we all We are ready to launch. If the court meeting fails, the Haechi Kingdom will remain the same as before. I really don’t know what the auxiliary parliament will do... The next imperial court meeting will probably force the king to give up his throne. Then the conflict will only be Bigger.”
Xie Xun sighed, "After all calculations, why didn't we count on the side of the country's leader? Did we make a mistake?"
when--
A bell rings.
The two of them became more and more impatient. This was the bell to urge the sacrifice. If the sacrifice did not start after three rings, the imperial court meeting would probably be ruined.
Over there the Haechi statue.
The light from the statue seemed to be brighter, which was not a good sign.
The idol was not satisfied.
The four generals all looked a bit unhappy, but the three imperial families over there had the opposite look on their faces.
"Mr. Lu, you told the king, right?"
"As long as the king comes later or doesn't come, the four generals will be dumbfounded. We can still turn against the guests!"
"That's right, the statue is not satisfied, which means that the four generals who requested a court meeting violated the wishes of their ancestors and must be dismissed!"
"Mr. Lu is still so good, he's so powerful!"
Lin Baixu and Zheng Tu were both very happy, and they were very proud of their private communication. However, Lu Lu still looked calm because he was also very strange.
Before the convening of the imperial court meeting, he did approach the king at least four times, but was rejected all times.
The king did not let him meet because he had to be absolutely quiet before the sacrifice. This made him think that the king had colluded with the four generals and had decided to completely abolish the three imperial families at this court meeting. He had even done so We are ready to burn the boat and fight to the death, but what is the situation now?
Seeing that the sacrifice is about to begin, the king, who has entered the situation early, has not shown up yet?
Did I guess wrong, or did something happen to the leader of the country?
It seemed like a good thing, the first good thing in these days, but why couldn't he calm down?
When——when——
The second bell rang, striking everyone's heart.
Not only the four generals and the three imperial families, but also the surrounding Haechi clan felt something was wrong. If it weren't for the suppression by the practitioners' guards, they would have started to make a fuss, but even so, there were still people talking about it.
"What's wrong with the king? The royal court meeting can't be held without the king. It's about to start."
"Aren't the sacrifices coming out? It's been so long. Could something have happened?"
"The king is sick, or..."
"I don't know. It would be best if nothing happens."
