Chapter 328 The Heavenly Bell Rings Nine and the Palace Wall Collapses in Tears

After putting away the killing sword, Yu Chen took out a pen and paper and asked the old man to write a letter.

It explains in detail everything that happened starting from the Hongmen Banquet, when the Three Saints and One Emperor killed the queen, to when the queen faked her death to seize the skin of the national master to commit evil, and then later plotted the Holy Seal.

Including Yu Chen and the old man Wen Sheng's speculation that "Emperor Qi Yuan has been controlled by his queen".

It also added many secrets that only the old man Wen Sheng and Song Xiang knew.

Then he used the magical power of Paper Man and Paper Horse to turn the letter into a paper crane, fluttering its wings and flying towards the capital.

Not long after, the paper crane stopped on the window sill of the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.

Song Xiang, who had just returned from the ruins of Hongguang Temple and found nothing, discovered it.

He raised his eyebrows and unfolded the letter.

As he read, his face gradually darkened.

——Know everything.

At the same time, based on the details that only he and the old man Wen Sheng knew, it was determined that the letter was written by the old man Wen Sheng himself.

After a long time, he put down the letter and leaned on the chair.

Some questions were finally answered.

Why did the cicada suddenly appear after disappearing for decades? Because Queen Qi is not dead at all, over the years, she may have already rebuilt Yuexia Cicada and even penetrated into Zhantiansi.

Why the Imperial Preceptor went to the Hongguang Temple at almost the same time as him? It was not a divination by a turtle, but because the owner of the Yuexia Cicada stronghold under the Hongguang Temple was the empress who was wearing the skin of the Imperial Preceptor. The stronghold was destroyed. After Qu Youhe was released, she naturally wanted to check on him.

Why did she suddenly leave in a hurry? It was because after the real national master Qu Youhe committed suicide, his skin lost its vitality and rapidly decayed. In order to prevent himself from being discovered, he ran away without saying a word!

"call……"

Prime Minister Song exhaled a long breath and understood everything clearly.

Then, stand up.

He glanced at the last sentence on the letter.

——Would you like to kill a thief one day?

The Prime Minister took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and dropped them here in a flash.

--Can.

That's the answer.

Then he folded the letter paper into a paper crane again, put it out the window, and the paper crane flew into the vast night and disappeared.

So far, although the two parties have not met yet, they have said that at least on the matter of "hostile relatives", Yu Chen and Prime Minister Song are on the same side.

The next day, it was bright.

Jingcheng, who was sleeping deeply, was not affected by what happened in the ruins of Hongguang Temple last night.

Everyone was doing whatever they were supposed to do, without noticing anything strange at all.

Until a certain moment.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sky bell located inside the imperial city rang loudly!

Everyone looked up in horror.

Just listen to the sky bell ringing nine times in a row, echoing endlessly.

Even if the bells stopped completely, the entire capital was still covered in a strange dead silence, without any sound.

Celestial clock!

When this thing rings, it means something big is happening!

Since Emperor Qiyuan ascended the throne, the bell has only rung four times.

The first time was at the Hongmen Banquet, where Empress Qi was executed.

The second time was more than a year ago when overseas evil cultivators invaded.

The third time was a year ago, when the Great Xia Literary Saint fell.

The fourth time was not long ago, when the judge invaded the palace and kidnapped Princess Qi'an.

Today is the fifth time.

And everyone knows that although the reasons for the ringing of the heavenly bell are different, judging from past experience, every ringing of the bell represents a terrible change!

Throughout the ages, it has always been like this.

After a short period of dead silence, the whole capital was in an uproar, and panic spread among the discussions.

Everyone speculated what happened.

Until three poles high in the sun.

A piece of news spread like wildfire.

There are not many words, but it is simply appalling!

——Qu Youhe, one of the Three Saints of Daxia, the Lord of Wanfa Mountain, and the Imperial Master of Zhantiansi, is dead!

At that moment, everyone who heard the news, whether they were ordinary people in Liming, dignitaries or wealthy people, were all shocked.

Unbelievable for a long time!

Before they could react, Zhan Tiansi held a state funeral and buried the state master in a grand manner.

Song Xiang and He Ziqiu looked at everyone in the farewell procession with cold eyes, trying to find the queen, but in the end, they found nothing.

Yu Chen was also among the people watching, watching with cold eyes.

——He was not surprised by this.

After all, as soon as the real Qu Youhe died, his vitality collapsed, and it was naturally impossible for Queen Qi to use her status as a national master to do evil.

Therefore, as a national master, he must die.

Otherwise, there is no way to give any explanation to the world.

The question now is, after losing the skin of the imperial master, who did the queen become?

Throughout the whole day, except for the chattering people who were just watching the excitement and the frightened court ministers, Yu Chen and Song Xiang were looking for traces of their queen in places where they could not see each other.

But after five or six hours, even the funeral was over.

Didn't find anything at all.

Finally, at dusk, Yu Chen returned home and returned to the Tomb of No Return.

I made tea around the stove with the old man Wen Sheng and Yu Xiaoyu.

"It seems that Queen Qi may have had a backup plan a long time ago - in addition to Princess Qi'an's body, she must have prepared other containers, otherwise it would be impossible to escape from Qu Youhe's identity so quickly."

The old man Literary Saint also reacted at this time and sighed: "I just don't know whose identity she has taken on now? I don't even know whether she is still in the Zhantian Division."

"No matter who she becomes, at least now she has lost the power to control Zhantiansi as a national preceptor; if she is unwilling to give up Zhantiansi - whoever succeeds as the next national preceptor will be the queen. ." Yu Chen's eyes flashed.

"What if she stands still?" Yu Xiaoyu asked, holding his chin in his hands.

"Then leave it to Prime Minister Song to investigate."

Yu Chen took a deep breath: "He has been rooted in the court for so many years, and he always has some methods of his own, which are much more useful than our random guesses. Besides, since we are an alliance, Prime Minister Song can't just sit back and enjoy the gains. He can come up with something." Strength is.

When she reveals her identity again and shows her clues, it will be the time of decisive battle! "

At this point, Yu Youyu and the old man Wen Sheng nodded.

In a few words, the next plan has been finalized.

Anyway, let's focus on the position of the Imperial Preceptor first. Whoever succeeds as the next Imperial Preceptor will be the queen.

If she continues to be patient and does nothing, then let Prime Minister Song in the court investigate.

Once found.

Then... fight to the death!

Therefore, this matter can be put on hold for now.

Days, the daily routine that temporarily returns.

Day by day passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is approaching summer.

As the temperature gets hotter, Hexi's sunshine becomes fierce, hanging high in the zenith and shining blazingly, bringing a steaming heat.

After the incident involving Zi Ji and Daru, Jixia Academy also restored order in the chaos, and countless disciples and scholars resumed their studies. Qinghuan and Shitou also returned to the life of leaving early and returning late.

The weather in June is hot and summery.

Yu Chen also spent his twentieth birthday in this hot summer.

In the evening, he cooked a table of delicious food and went down the mountain to buy fine wine.

There are stars in the sky, the silver moon is like a hook, and there are no clouds in the sky; people and ghosts gather together on the ground, and they will never return unless they are drunk.

It's sad to say that.

If Yu Chen had not obtained the Sutra to Save People and not embarked on such a path, I am afraid that he would have embarked on the road of exile in Mobei by now. In the end, he might have turned into a short tomb on the road of exile after a narrow escape from death.

Oh, it's also possible that without his interference, King Shenwu's plan was successful and Jiangzhou was refined directly, and Yu Chen would become an insignificant ray of flesh and blood in the magic pills.

But what about now?

He came to the capital and became a "judge" that made the entire court fearful. He even had the power to change the situation in the entire Daxia.

It can really be said that...things in the world are impermanent.

The next day.

The first day of Yu Chen’s twentieth birthday.

Get up from the bed, open the door and take a look.

Hey!

A good start!

I saw a few officials digging holes.

Behind them, carts were parked one after another, covered with yellow and white shrouds, and the bright red blood soaked the cloth.

Take a quick look.

There were more than a dozen corpses in various places, which was shocking.

What a great start!

When they met Yu Chen, several officials said hello.

Just talk to him nonchalantly about what these corpses are about.

Let's say that it is late June now, more than half a month has passed since the imperial master was buried at the nine-ring bell.

Everyone gradually accepted this fact.

The days went by as usual.

And just last night, a dozen women came to the capital. They were dressed in different clothes and had different accents. They looked like they were not from the same place. They didn't know why they were gathered together.

When it was dark in the morning, they got up early and knelt on the Luoshui Bridge.

When the officers and soldiers saw it, they must take care of it, so they asked them what the matter was.

The dozen or so women just cried and said that they came here to find their husbands.

The officer and soldier asked again where their husbands had gone.

They said that their husbands were Xiling warriors from the Ministry of Industry, but they had not heard from them for more than half a year.

The officer and soldier asked them to wait and went to the Ministry of Works to report.

After a while, the Ministry of Works summoned them into the house.

These officials don't know what happened inside.

All I know is that after they came out from the Ministry of Works, these dozen women kept kneeling at the gate of the Ministry of Works and crying, crying loudly, saying that the imperial court was indifferent to human life.

It attracted many people from the capital to watch.

It's also when everyone is talking about it.

Suddenly, the sky was dark, the earth was dark, sand was flying, and rocks were flying. Just a buzzing sound was heard, and the majestic palace wall of the Ministry of Works suddenly collapsed!

The heavy bricks and stones fell down, causing countless dust, and killed the dozen or so women.

This scene made countless people watching the excitement shout that they had been wronged, and dozens of women cried down the palace wall!

Then, several officials took over the work and carried the bodies of these dozen women up the mountain.

When Yu Chen heard this, he was stunned.

Cry down the palace walls?

A dozen ordinary women, who looked like mortals at first glance, cried down the wall of the Ministry of Industry that even the sea-level alchemists might not be able to demolish?

Are you putting on a fantasy story here?
