Chapter 24 Corrections

"emission!"

Standing upright, Lieutenant Long Jun shouted loudly. Immediately, the fire-printed dragon cannons spewed out golden and flying flames again.

The red-hot cannonball burst into flames, and exploded on the shield wall in front of Shenlong Palace. The dazzling fire and explosion lifted countless figures. Wei's body evaporated and vaporized his body and armor.

When the smoke dissipated, the ground and the walls of Shenlong Hall were full of debris and cooled metal particles, a mess.

In the face of this broken shield formation, those Dragon Golden Armored Army did not show a happy look, but still reloaded calmly and waited for it.

Sure enough, during the time between the reloading, the Shuolong guards outside the Shenlong Hall took out black and white crossbow machines to counterattack. These crossbows have an octagonal compass. A sharp 'Moon Piercing Wu Hook' pressed into the muzzle of the crossbow machine.

In the sound of drizzle breaking through the air, these crossbows crossed the black afterimage and shot into the array of the Dragon Golden Armored Army. The Dragon Bite Golden Shield, which could have resisted the all-out blow of the sixth-order superhuman, was in the dark. In the drizzle, like thin paper, it can easily penetrate, and the Dragon Jinjia Army on the mountain road and the plank road also fell in pieces in this black rain, and many rolled off the cliff and fell into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The sound of killing shouts was so loud that after this round of crossbows lost the black rain, the Fire Seal Dragon Cannon that was protected at the rear was reloaded again, waiting to be fired.

Seeing that the blazing fire lighted up again, the lines on the gun barrel lit up and spread in turn, and a loud shout interrupted the gradually cruel battlefield.

"Stop it! Stop it all! I am Xiao Yubing, the prince of the dynasty, holding the imperial edict of Fenghuo!"

In the battlefield filled with smoke and flames, a woman dressed in a black phoenix and bird costume walked out of the gate of Shenlong Hall, holding up the golden and red edict scroll, and walked to the open space in front of the hall step by step, and outside Shenlong Hall, After seeing the edict, the Shuolong Imperial Guard, who was originally defending against the defense, also stepped aside one by one, separating like a tide.

Although the edict is still not sure if it is true or not, since the gate of Shenlong Palace is open, the soldiers of the Dragon Army no longer have reason to continue firing, so they stopped and waited for the order.

"Master Si Ji?" A young lieutenant in golden armor came to the platform on the top of the mountain and asked the general who was commanding here.

"I see, you stop first."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon after, under the protection of a group of sergeants holding heavy shields, a dozen ministers and nobles slowly came to the front of the hall, and then stopped.

"Xiao Yubing County Lord, what about His Majesty the Son of Heaven?" A minister in a purple-red robe stepped forward and asked the County Lord with vigilant eyes.

"The Son of Heaven is unwell and is in danger, so he has hereby set up an edict to show the world." The county master said as he moved forward, and the phoenix fire edict in his hand exuded a scorching aura, which made everyone watching The sergeant's mind swayed, almost surrendering.

Phoenix Fire Edict, Lie Lie Destiny.

Even though the edict has not yet been launched, the aura it exudes has already shown that it is true, which makes the ministers and generals in front of Shenlong Hall startled and suspicious.

Why is it at this time, and His Majesty the Son of Heaven is still out, is it already...

Everyone didn't dare to think about it any more, so they all bent over and bowed their hands, and then slowly knelt down.

When Xiao Yubing walked into the formation of the Jinlong Jinjia Army with the edict in hand, no one was standing, and they all knelt down on the ground.

Seeing this, the county master took a breath.

But when she slowly put down the edict and was about to open the announcement, a crossbow shot from the direction of the Shenlong Palace, like a streamer, straight up her back, and a splash of blood bloomed.

"Cough..." Xiao Yubing clutched his chest and staggered forward a few steps, dripping blood all the way.

"Protect the county lord."

Immediately, according to the lieutenant in the Dragon Army, he found something wrong and shouted for it. Then the soldiers who were lying on the ground hurriedly stood up and erected the shield wall again.

"Who is arrogant!" The general dressed in tiger bite gold armor stepped forward and stopped in front of the main hall.

"It's me, Secretary of the Winter Officials, Li Jingfang!"

Said that a minister dressed in silver embroidery on a white background walked out of the Shenlong Hall, it was the person who had previously discouraged Prince Zhaolong.

At first, everyone present wanted to scold the courtier who secretly attacked, but the figure slowly lifted behind Li Jingfang forced everyone to shut up. The two imperial doctors supported the dragon bed and carefully lifted the day. out of the hall.

"How is your Majesty?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty has decided to make Prince Zhaolong the emperor, to succeed him as the emperor, and to inherit the destiny!" After speaking, the minister took a big step forward, turned around and bowed his hands, saluted the unconscious emperor, and then got up.

After saying this extremely sudden imperial decree, the people present were amazed and unbelievable.

Although Prince Zhaolong is favored, everyone with a discerning eye knows that this young prince has no foundation at all in the court, and is completely unable to compete with his two older brothers. Wang Dangyu, but now the world is inherently unstable, and chaos is everywhere. Such intense cleaning and suppression, a little careless, is a great chaos.

"How is this possible?" The expressions of several supporters of King Dai and King Huainan changed greatly, and their faces were astonished.

"Why not, huh." After speaking, the minister strode forward and walked towards the crowd, aiming directly at Xiao Yubing, who was injured and fell to the ground.

After a short period of emergency treatment, Xiao Yubing clutched his chest and slowly got up in a hoarse voice, "No, he is a Jiao...cough, it's not true..." Before he could finish speaking, he vomited again. out.

"Bring it here, you rebellious county master!" He was still respectful in the hall before.

Bi's courtier, now extremely cold, took back the edict.

"Xiao Yubing tampered with the edict, intending to help his father become king, and seek great treason!" He clenched the phoenix fire edict with one hand and pointed at the weak county master lying on the ground with the other.

"No, I'm not..." Xiao Yubing tried to take back the edict, but was opened by the minister who had been prepared.

"Come here, take him down, and imprison him in Tingsheng." He gave a stern order, and many soldiers were moved by him, and they quietly surrounded the county master.

Fortunately, at this time, Si Ji, the general of the Dragon Army, strode forward and asked the soldiers to retreat first.

"You two seem to have a dispute, and His Majesty is in a coma now, I'm really embarrassed."

"Oh, I naturally know the generals and everyone's doubts."

Li Jingfang held the edict in his hand, and his eyes slowly swept across the generals and ministers present. All of these people were high-ranking officials and important officials of the country. In the past, even if he was among these people, he could only be regarded as middle-ranking at most. called one or two.

But today is different, the collapse of the dynasty is all within one's own thoughts.

"Everyone, please come with me, and I will tell you the contents of the edict."

Then he took the edict and walked towards the Shenlong Hall that had been opened again.

A few minutes later, the ministers and generals walked into the Shenlong Hall, which had been closed for a long time. Today, Zi was still in a coma, and his breath almost stopped. Although everyone was worried, at this moment, the emperor had run out of oil lamps, and everyone had nothing to do.

In fact, they had already prepared for the possibility of the emperor's death, but they didn't want so many things to happen in the past few days that the focus was no longer on the dying emperor.

Everyone wanted to know what happened to Chifeng, and why the emperor temporarily changed his life and let the emperor Zhaolong inherit the throne.

"Please also ask Master Siji to let his subordinates avoid it." After stepping up to the high sacrificial platform of Shenlong Hall, Li Jingfang looked down at the tiger-biting gold-armored general.

The general frowned slightly, but still raised his hand and waved it backwards, and then one of the golden armored sergeants under his command walked out of the hall.

Half a minute later, with the sound of the card, the door of Shenlong Hall slowly closed, and the place became silent again, and everyone present looked at Li Jingfang, wondering what he meant and why it was so mysterious. .

Seeing that the whole place was closed and outsiders could not know the situation in the hall, Li Jing just opened his mouth slowly.

"I know that you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, but today's events are so big that you must not leak them out."

"This is the edict of phoenix fire. There is an order from the Son of Heaven, so I will announce it to the world." As he said that, he opened the edict slowly, and a wave of heat and wind came slowly.

"Of course, the destiny of the Son of Heaven is also not obeyed."

"If this order is obeyed, no matter you or me, or even the world, will be doomed." After speaking, he shook the edict, unfolded its contents, and faced the ministers.

At first, everyone was still unconvinced, but when their eyes swept across the golden edict, one by one bright red blood-like handwriting came into their eyes.

"This... this, how can this be!?"

"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous." Someone sighed.

"The sky is falling..."

A few minutes later, when everyone's mood stabilized, Li Jing spoke again.

"It is for this reason that I did not hesitate to injure people with arrows and stop County Master Xiao." Although his actions were still despised, no one paid attention to such trivial matters at this time. The shock of information and unexpected events has not yet eased, and I want to figure out what to do in the future.

However, although they didn't understand it for a while, Li Jingfang thought about it for a long time in the past few days.

"First of all, we must not let this news leak out, no matter who it is or under what name."

"The Son of Heaven blames himself, and I know it by heart, but in today's dynasty, we must not collapse and collapse because of the Son of Heaven's fault. In a world of great chaos, there will be wolves everywhere, and the people will not be able to live. The casualties are more than the natural disasters and dragon disasters in front of us."

"Now it is very, and we should do extraordinary things. We should quickly establish Prince Zhaolong as the emperor, inherit the great power, and make the world safe."

After he finished speaking, many supporters of King Dai and King Huainan among the ministers frowned and immediately objected.

"No, absolutely not, Prince Zhaolong is young, it is difficult to convince the public, and bear such a big adverse trend." They shook their heads one after another.

"King Dai/King Huainan should be invited to return to Luojing as soon as possible, and use the power of thunder to overwhelm the world, to subdue the Quartet, and to help the towers fall."

"How far is King Dai from Luojing, and how far is King Huainan from Luojing, if they wait for the two to return to Beijing, it will be another fight, and when the winner will be decided, I don't know when, and who will know the loser? Will bite back and leak the news."

"In the current situation, it is time to cut the mess with a quick knife and immediately support the new emperor to ascend the throne. This is also to cut off the two kings' party members, free up a lot of official positions, give them seats to reassure the public, and then gather swordsmen to clean up the world."

"I know that many of you have made good friends with the two kings, but today is different from the past. Prince Zhaolong ascended the throne alone and needs your help. Why should your loyalty be only the two kings, not the inevitable true fate? Son of Heaven." Li Jing's words were sharp, he analyzed the interests and the interests, and he was in between, causing many ministers present to be shaken and hesitant.

Although many of them are partisans of the two kings, is this kind of union really that strong? Is it really necessary to smear the ground for the two princes who are crowned kings? I am afraid that more often, they are just optimistic about the future of the two kings and their interests. Just combine.

If you continue to persevere, regardless of whether you can walk out of this hall today or not, even if the two kings return in the future, no one can guarantee that the king they support will definitely be crowned. If they fail, they will know the truth of the current disaster

, the victorious party must use a brutal cleansing to keep this secret firmly.

The environment in which the two kings seized the heirs has changed. Now it is a cruel life-and-death struggle. Both sides have no room for relaxation and retreat. Maybe they failed before. They think about it for themselves, and they never dare to let anyone who knows today's secrets return home, they must be strictly guarded or even silenced.

There was a dead silence in the Shenlong Hall. The more than ten frontier officials and generals present had solemn eyes. Drops of sweat fell from their foreheads. Everyone was thinking urgently to find a way to break the situation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the hall that had been closed for a long time began to feel stuffy, but now no one has the heart to care about these details, only the extremely difficult choice.

Finally, after a long silence, a voice broke the status quo.

Dressed in purple robes, Jiedushi Nuo Lanzhou stepped forward and bowed to the Prince Zhaolong who had been waiting to stand on the high platform.

"My minister, Jian Qingyan, I would like to follow Your Majesty to the death." After speaking, he slowly lowered his body and bowed three times.

At this time, even the Prince Zhaolong, who knew that he wanted to maintain his composure, couldn't help but be moved. He tried his best to calm down his voice. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"I forgive."

After he finished speaking, he slowly lifted the frontier official, while Li Jingfang on the side also closed his eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

With this first, it's easy to say later.

Sure enough, several people stepped forward one after another and swore allegiance.

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty until the end of the mountains and rivers, the end of the Nine Serenities."

...

Seeing the Jiedu envoy holding a heavy army, Jian Qingyan all surrendered and swore, and the others in the room gradually became anxious. After that, it was only general.

So one after another, someone stepped forward and swore allegiance, until only three people were left standing alone in the field, never moving.

By this time, the others were all around Prince Zhaolong's side, looking at the three of them, some joking, some contemptuous, some admiring, and some hostile.

Li Jingfang spoke again, but this time his voice was obviously colder.

"A few of you still insist on your own opinions and refuse to wait with me?"

"Or maybe you are just pretending to be lofty and ignorant of the suffering of the people in Limin. It seems loyal, but it is actually a great evil." His words became colder and colder, and even faintly murderous.
