Chapter 22 In Front of Shenlong Hall

Luojing, Yuzhang Mountain.

In the sea of ​​clouds far away from the world, a mountain peak is like a small island, vaguely hazy in the clouds and mist, the light of the dawn is like a golden veil, slowly changing in the smoke of the clouds and mist.

The lingering ring rang, and the quiet sound of the silk and bamboo qin surrounded the palace and pavilion, no one was seen, but the sound was heard.

Zhulan Bixie, beautiful corridors connecting the palaces on this mountain, walking through it, like walking in the clouds, like a fairyland.

It was rumored in the dynasty that His Majesty Chifeng lived on this misty Yuzhang Mountain, overlooking the magnificent city below, the mountains and the earth, and the eastern purple sky rising and the sun rising out of the clouds.

It's just that in recent years, this place has been quite quiet, and even the Huoling maids who served Chifeng's side in the past are now only a few left, and the others don't know where to go.

Among the high mountains, a tall palace in the shadow of a mountain stood quietly. Along the mountain road and on both sides of the suspended plank road, stood guards in black and white armors. The most elite Shuolong guards in the dynasty, each with a strength of rank six or above, accompanies the emperor all the year round.

Today, the palace is in an extremely depressing atmosphere. Several ministers are kneeling on the stone slab in front of the palace and waiting. There are still a few bloodstains left on the square. Killed by the former guard.

On the mountain road below the palace, a general dressed in a mountain-patterned tiger head was walking back and forth. Behind him, there were several ministers in dragon-patterned python suits.

"Master Siji, you can't wait any longer."

Seeing that the general in gold and bronze tiger armor was going back and forth dozens of times, a minister in purple finally stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Before Your Majesty climbed the mountain, his body was already very unwell. Now, it has been seven days since he worshipped the sky in Shenlong Hall, and he has been cut off from inside and outside, and he does not know whether to live or die. Although Prince Zhaolong is by his side, he has never been awarded the title, and His Majesty has never referred to him. Inheriting the great lineage, if it ends without an edict, the world will change dramatically."

Since the disasters in the various states of the world have continued, and the pressure has spread to Luojing, in order to calm the inquiries from various door-to-door factions, as well as the doubts of the officials in the dynasty, when today Zi decided to climb the mountain to worship the sky, bow to the red phoenix, and make peace in the world. .

But in recent years, the emperor's mind and body are far from old, and his character has gradually become suspicious and repeated. Even if he is worried, the ministers do not dare to dissuade him face to face.

The original anxiety and anxiety finally caused many changes after the emperor did not return from the mountain for seven days.

The two ministers rushed straight to the Shenlong Hall, saying that they wanted to meet the emperor, but they were beheaded by the Shuolong guards on the spot, and the gate of the Shenlong Hall was still closed, and the situation inside was not seen.

Today, several important officials who control the court are also gathered here. The general in front of them, dressed in gold and bronze tiger armor, is now the general of Luojing. He has 100,000 dragons and gold armor under his command, stationed in the The camp in the south of Luojing.

There are many forces guarding Luojing. Apart from the 100,000 Dragon Golden Armored Army in the southern camp, there are also 2,000 Shuolong guards who often accompany the emperor by his side, and 10,000 Chique Dragon Riders on the Dragon Cliff in Beishan of Luojing. The 50,000 red-scaled halberd guards used to maintain law and order and the guards of honor, the 20,000 gold Fangwu guarding the palace, and the offices and workshops of the officials of the four seasons also had their own armed forces.

"Master Siji, don't hesitate any longer." Seeing that the general still hadn't left, another minister stepped forward.

"This morning, the red-scale halberd guards began to seal the city, and all the twelve gates of Luojing were closed. The current red-scale general is from the Zhao family, that is, the mother family of Emperor Zhaolong. If he completely controls Luojing, Empower Prince Zhaolong to the throne, and the world will be in chaos."

Compared with King Dai and King Huainan, who have been enshrined for many years, the current Prince Zhaolong has not yet won the throne. If he hastily ascended the throne, he will immediately attract the violent suppression of the two forces of King Dai and King Huainan, splitting the world today.

Unlike Prince Zhaolong who has just come of age, King Dai and King Huainan have been crowned kings for more than ten years. The power inside and outside the dynasty is spread, and the foundation has been established. They will not watch the young Prince Zhaolong ascend the throne and take the throne.

After listening to the minister's persuasion, the general finally stopped. He looked at the Shenlong Hall in the distance and sighed.

"I don't know the current situation."

"If one of His Royal Highnesses Dai and Huainan are here, they can be handled properly, but neither of them are here."

Since the disasters in the dragon veins in the world have occurred frequently, when today Ziling King Dai and King Huainan went to the county of the world to assist in disaster relief, this test compares the two.

Although they knew that this was the way that the father and the emperor made the two fight to secure their position, but the two princes had to leave Luojing and go to the world.

"I have received less of your kindness, and I am in charge of the Dragon Army today, but Your Majesty has said before that, except for the Shuolong Imperial Guard, foreign troops are not allowed to climb the mountain and enter the interior. Violators are like falling rocks, and they will be punished by the world."

Although he came to Shenlong Hall today, the sergeant under his command was still facing off against the Red Scaled Halberd Guard at the foot of the mountain. He didn't climb the mountain. This was the biggest thing he could do within his authority.

The Shuolong guards only listened to the orders of the emperor. Even he could not let the guards in black clothes and white armor get out of the way. If he wanted to force a breakthrough and know the situation in the Shenlong Hall, he would definitely defeat these Shuolong guards who were guarding the mountain road and the palace. , but these people are elites selected by the Son of Heaven from the best of the various armies, and their families are also taken care of by the royal family. They migrated from Luojing to live in peace, and they are extremely loyal. It is almost impossible for outsiders to persuade them to surrender.

It is almost impossible to defeat these Shuolong guards alone. The second among them is the sixth-rank lieutenant, and there are about two hundred seventh-rank captains, who resonate together and form an array. Not good.

What's more, this is still in Yuzhang Mountain. If there is a fight, who knows whether those red bird dragon riders on Beishan Longya will come over. They are a powerful army with the red phoenix as the respect and the emperor as the second.

Seven days after the emperor climbed the mountain, Luojing was in chaos, various forces were moving, and countless rumors began to spread.

Some people say that the emperor died, and he did not mourn in secret. Some people say that Zhaolong emperor rebelled and trapped the emperor in Yuzhang Mountain. Others said that when the red phoenix died, the emperor was afraid of his sin and did not dare to go down the mountain. There are all kinds of guesses and theories. , also from three days ago, the bustling Luojing Night Market was no longer there, and the red-scale halberd guards began to implement a strict curfew. Those who dared to go to the street in the middle of the night would travel seven hundred miles.

Although such a regulation trapped millions of residents in Luojing, the students of Jixia Academy had to gather in the Academy because of the curfew to discuss all kinds of ideas. Many rumors and speculations emerged from these energetic The excited students said it, and outsiders did not dare to criticize them too much. Whoever made these are the favored sons of the emperors in various states and counties, even the Red Scaled Halberd Guards, did not dare to be too harsh on them.

For a time, all kinds of birds and birds passed the book, flying over Luojing, their wings flapping in the air, and it was not until three days later that the Red Scaled Halberd Guards borrowed a 300-person Xiaoyu flying horse from the winter lawsuit, and they sent Luo Over Beijing, all the birds who dared to pass letters were cut off.

But everyone knows that this is just to ease the situation. Now the news in Luojing has already spread, and soon, the two princes who are traveling around the world will come back to Luojing. It is very likely that the next generation of emperors will be the emperors of the dynasty.

The ancient keel horn sounded in the city, and with the desolate whimper that represented the action, a group of Jinlong army in golden armor finally began to climb the mountain. In front of Shenlong Hall, those Shuolong guards slowly raised their heads. Come, look at the ministers and generals at the foot of the mountain.

These black-clothed and white-armored guards were taciturn, and the masks on their faces made it difficult to see their expressions. At this moment, under the command of a famous captain, they began to retreat beside the Shenlong Hall and built a sturdy shield wall knife. In the sea, a burst of silver brilliance flashed, and the layers of shields and long knives formed a semi-circular cover, wrapping the Shenlong Palace.

"Your Majesty has an order, trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
