Chapter 404 Bell
The morning light fell on the glazed tiles of the imperial city.
In the study room, the emperor informed the few people present of the latest news report he had received.
"Those paper figurines suddenly launched an attack and wantonly killed the soldiers of the Forbidden Army in the city."
"Up to now, 30,000 forbidden soldiers have died tragically..."
The emperor said with a gloomy and heavy expression.
He is different from those present, he is just a mortal.
There is no magic power, let alone supernatural powers.
Compared with his still young and beautiful sister, he is already very old.
But sitting on Da Zhou's dragon chair, many times, he has nothing to do.
In such a world, it would be extremely difficult for him just to maintain the national unity of the Great Zhou.
If it weren't for the "old god" in the imperial city, his Da Zhou would have become a blood-eating paradise for demons just like the countries outside.
Three years ago, in Boyang Kingdom, which was close to the Great Zhou Dynasty, a passing monster swallowed all the living people in the capital, a population of one million.
But it's just a big demon's meal.
The Boyang Kingdom, which has a history even longer than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has been passed down for more than 1,300 years, has just been wiped out in a daze.
And this, in today's land of Shenzhou, is even considered a good end.
After all, millions of people died instantly, painlessly.
According to the news from the spies he sent out, there is purgatory everywhere in the land of China today.
Those demons and goblins used all kinds of methods to torture, kill, and cook the living people in the world, which always frightened him.
He didn't want Da Zhou to disintegrate, so he had been cooperating with the two in front of him, and he also obeyed the "old god" in the imperial city in every possible way.
Even though he knew in his heart that the so-called "old god" was not a kind person at all.
The imperial sister in front of him is no longer his sister...
Looking at Princess Lingyang, the emperor lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Sister Huang, what should I do next?"
The 30,000 forbidden troops will die if they say they die.
And this is only a preliminary figure. In the current capital, there may still be forbidden troops dying continuously...
Those imperial troops were ordered by him to hunt down those paper figurines.
Because of this, he was killed by those paper figurines...
The emperor's expression was dull, but his eyes were gloomy.
However, the other two people in the upper study room reacted calmly.
Qing Yunzi looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Let him kill you."
"It has been hiding for so long, but it has never dared to show up. This time, it is just using this kind of killing to test us."
"At most another 30,000 people will be killed. Seeing that we still haven't responded, it should fold its tail and hide."
"Today is very important. After dark, it will come to your door, so don't worry about it."
Qing Yunzi's expression was cold.
Princess Lingyang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, those paper figurines don't dare to kill wantonly."
Princess Lingyang is still faithfully showing what she is supposed to do.
The aged emperor looked on coldly, but he couldn't say anything, he just nodded his head and said, "I can only hope so..."
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
A group of servants came in with the young eighteenth prince in their arms.
Seeing his young son coming in, the emperor was slightly startled and sat up straight.
"Does the old god have any orders?" The emperor asked quickly.
Princess Lingyang also frowned: "Why did you come back so quickly today..."
But the young eighteenth prince said timidly: "Father, the old fairy said, let me take down the bell hanging from the Lizheng Hall and send it to a friend of his in Louyan Lane. He said he wanted to invite That friend is visiting the Imperial City tonight..."
The Eighteenth Prince's message stunned the three people in the upper study room.
Qing Yunzi looked shocked: "You want to take down the bell and give it to someone? The bell is..."
Qing Yunzi almost missed something, and quickly shut his mouth.
Princess Lingyang glanced at it coldly, and then looked at the eighteenth prince with a kind face: "Little eighteen, tell aunt, does the old fairy really want you to give the bell away?"
"This is a very important matter, you can't get it wrong~~"
The young Eighteenth Prince was much more stupid than the Seventeenth Prince who had just left not long ago.
Usually always looks dull.
So much so that what he said now always makes people worry whether he heard it wrong.
After all, it has a lot to do with it.
But the Eighteenth Prince insisted that he heard it right, the old god really wanted him to give away the bell on the Hall of Lizheng.
Qing Yunzi looked out the window, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "That's the only way..."
Although the emperor didn't quite understand the importance of the bell, the two people in front of him, as well as the old fairy, all valued the bell very much.
When the bell rang before, the old fairy was excited for a long time.
But now, they want to send out the bell that has been hanging on the Lizheng Hall for more than 20 years...
The aged emperor watched with cold eyes and said nothing.
But Princess Lingyang and Qingyunzi obviously didn't dare to go to the old god to confirm, so they went to take down the bell on the Lizheng Hall according to the eighteenth prince's message.
And the young eighteenth prince, clutching the cold bell, sat on the jade chariot carried by those strange servants, and left the imperial city.
All the way out from the gate of the imperial city, into the streets and alleys of the capital.
The young prince was extremely curious about the world outside the imperial city.
After all, since he was born and grew up, he has never been to the world outside the red wall.
But those strange inner gazes surrounded the jade chariot, even though he was curious, he didn't dare to look out.
In this way, the jade chariot walked through the streets and alleys for an unknown how long.
Finally, he came to a secluded alley and stopped.
The Eighteenth Prince opened the sedan chair curtain and looked around.
Only to find that the servants were all gone.
In the empty alley, there were only him and the jade chariot he was riding on.
This confused the little prince.
And the address in front of him seems to be the friend the old god asked him to give the bell to...
The little prince sniffed. Although he was very curious about the outside world and confused by the sudden disappearance of the servants, he still decided to send the bell first.
As for those servants, they were already weird, so it was nothing if they suddenly disappeared.
The little prince knocked on the sheath door, and said in a childish voice, "Is anyone there? I'm here to bring you something."
The noon sun was strong and dazzling.
Kong Ning, who heard the voice, was startled suddenly, and looked towards the courtyard door.
There, a childish voice came.
Looking at him, he didn't feel any breath.
Wan'er also looked at the courtyard gate in astonishment, and subconsciously drew her sword out of its sheath: "Ning catches the head..."
Wan'er's eyes were full of tension.
Obviously, she also heard the cry of the child.
Kong Ning frowned slightly, and with a wave, the courtyard door opened silently.
A childish figure standing outside the gate appeared.
Wearing a prince's robe, the strange monster with a skinny figure, showing the skeleton of a skeleton in the sun, grinned at Kong Ning.
He held up the bell in his hand.
"The old fairy asked me to hand over the bell to you!"
