Text Chapter 1540 Open the Door!
The words made her think wildly. 》
I don't know how much time has passed, but suddenly I noticed that the sedan chair was gradually slowing down until it stopped. I stretched my head out of the window and saw a beautiful huge planet in front of me. From time to time, I could see monks flying back and forth.
Gou Yue's voice came from outside the door again, "Madam, we are about to arrive. It is too conspicuous to carry the sedan chair into Tianjie." The address has changed.
"I know." Mei Niang replied, and put a gauze hat on her daughter's head and put one on herself.
The mother and daughter, who covered their faces, then walked out of the door, only to find that Gou Yue had put on a mask and turned into an old man with a rigid facial expression. The mother and daughter held hands and floated lightly into the starry sky.
The sedan chair was taken away out of thin air, and the sedan bearers became left and right guards. Accompanied by one person, Gou Yue led the way in front, and the group quickly broke through the air shield and entered the Nine Rings Star.
He landed from the sky under a big tree in an open space not far from the east gate of Jiuhuan Xingtian Street. Only the east gate was still crowded with people. The other gates were all sealed. There were still a large number of soldiers and generals at the gate to check people entering the city. There were no restrictions on leaving the city, but from the soldiers who frequently patrolled the city walls, it could be seen that the atmosphere was a bit tense.
Xia Lingling, the shopkeeper of Zangzhen Pavilion, was a woman with a charming demeanor. Zangzhen Pavilion was the property of the Guang family, and she was naturally a member of the Guang family. At this time, she hurriedly rushed down the hillside and saluted a thin man beside Gou Yue: "Xia Lingling welcomes the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper Han Dong was the general manager of all the shops in Tianjie of the Guang family. There were also stewards under him who were responsible for the shops in various regions. Xia Lingling usually only contacted the stewards above. Under normal circumstances, she would not see the shopkeeper except when the accounts were settled. After all, there were tens of thousands of shops of all sizes in Tianjie of the Guang family. This means that there are tens of thousands of shop owners, and there are two in Jiuhuan Xingtian Street. How can the head shop owner have time to keep in touch with every shop owner?
Handong stared at her and identified her, then took out a jade tablet and handed it to her.
Xia Lingling took the jade tablet and saw that it contained the accounts she had reported before, with her seal on it. The lower half of the content had been erased, leaving only her seal. She immediately understood that the head shop owner probably didn't have much impression of her, so he wanted her to put her seal on it for verification.
Immediately cast a spell and put my seal on it, and returned the jade tablet with both hands.
Handong took it in his hand and compared it. He put away the jade tablet and asked, "Are you ready?"
Xia Lingling said respectfully, "Everything is ready as instructed."
Handong turned around and bowed slightly to Gou Yue, who nodded. Han Dong then waved to Xia Lingling and said, "Lead the way."
"Yes!" Xia Lingling responded, but she was secretly shocked in her heart. She secretly looked at Gou Yue, wondering who he was.
To Xia Lingling, the chief shopkeeper was a great man. The person who controlled most of the financial resources of the Heavenly King's Palace had a high status in the Heavenly King's Palace. He was already a very transcendent person, but he was so respectful to the old man in disguise. Who was he?
However, she was shocked by his figure. He was the person she had seen from a distance, the chief steward of the Heavenly King's Palace, Gou Yue!
It should be correct. The only people who could make the chief shopkeeper so respectful were the masters of the Heavenly King's Palace. That was the chief steward of the Heavenly King's Palace, Gou Yue. The chief shopkeeper was directly under the control of that person. He was one of that person's right-hand men.
After guessing who it was, she almost shuddered. Who was the chief steward of the Heavenly King's Palace? To a certain extent, he was the person who could directly represent Guang Tianwang.
Who were the two women wearing gauze hats? Xia Lingling was confused. She only knew that there were two female relatives. She was told to entertain them with the best arrangements and not to be afraid of spending money. All the expenses were paid by the higher-ups.
When arriving at the city gate, Xia Lingling looked up at Fang Liheng, the deputy commander of Tianjie, who was standing on the top of the city wall. The latter nodded his head and signaled to the guard below.
So the guards at the city gate below directly pushed the other people entering the city aside and let this group in first without any search.
After the group arrived at Zangzhen Pavilion, the best courtyard was reserved for Mei Niang and her daughter, and the maids who served them were also graceful and well-mannered. This is also the reason why those shops with backgrounds in Tianjie in various places occupy such a large area and build such a good garden. It is not to show off, but to prepare for the convenience of entertaining distinguished guests.
After personally seeing the place where the two mothers and daughters were placed, Gou Yue left the yard. Xia Lingling had already dismissed them, and Han Dong came to greet them and reported: "Sir, we came late, and the people from the other three families arrived first." After coming here, no one called them the general manager or housekeeper.
Gou Yue could understand the reason. The princess came in person, so she couldn't be careless on the way, which delayed her a little. He asked, "Who are the people here?"
Handong said, "According to the reports from the subordinates, the people from the Kou family should be Tang Henian, Kou Wenlu and Kou Wenlan; the people from the Ying family should be Zuo'er and Ying Yue, and the people from the Hao family should be Duan Hong and Hao Qingyan."
Gou Yue was surprised and said, "Did the Hao family send Duan Hong to take charge? Didn't they send Su Yun in person?"
Handong: "Su Yun should not have come. I was also worried that there was a mistake, so I specially confirmed that someone from the Hao family saw Su Yun still in the mansion."
Gou Yue pondered for a while, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled: "It seems that Hao Defang is still obsessed with marrying Su Yun. The Ying family is normal. The Kou family has Kou Wenlan, probably because he is familiar with Niu Youde. Ying Yue and Hao Qingyan, haha, Kou Wenlu from the Kou family is not too outstanding in appearance. I guess she thinks she has an acquaintance to do things. The other two families have brought out their best daughters. Niu Youde has suddenly become very popular. It's really unpredictable!"
Handong muttered in his heart, don't talk about other families' affairs, this side has also brought out the best daughters, everyone is the same.
Gou Yue tilted his head: "I guess once we get here, the other three families will know about it."
Handong nodded in agreement, and said: "The people sent out by the master to inquire have sent back news that Niu Youde has led his men to this side and should be here in half an hour."
Gou Yue nodded slightly: "Is there no movement from the Xiahou family?"
Handong: "No abnormalities have been found so far."
Gou Yue: "Don't be careless, keep a close eye on the four families."
"Yes!"
A group of figures fell from the sky, causing pedestrians on Tian Street to look up one after another. After seeing them fall into the city, they immediately caused a lot of discussion on the street.
"Who are they?"
"Why do they look like they crawled out of blood?"
"Could it be the group of heavenly people fighting outside?"
"Dang...Dang...Dang..." Several melodious bell sounds came from the direction of the East City Gate where the group of people fell, causing more and more commotion on the street.
The guards at the east gate were in a panic and quickly cut off the people entering and leaving the city. Bang! Once the gate was closed, the city defense formation was automatically closed.
If it weren't for the pressure from the big families in the city, the gate would not have been opened at all. The people guarding the palace naturally didn't know that some big families wanted to arrange people to enter and exit, and they had to open one of the four closed gates.
The people who fell from the sky obviously landed here after seeing the gate open. Fang Li, the deputy commander of Tianjie, who happened to be here today, leaned out and looked outside the city and immediately took a breath of cold air.
The people who led the troops here were naturally not others. Miao Yi led the remnants of the Blue Tiger Banner to rush here.
One by one, they were still wearing armor, and one was covered in black and brown. That was the color of blood drying and condensing on his body. On his head, face, and armor, that color was everywhere.
That was the blood of the enemy, the blood of his comrades, and the glory of this life, which no one could easily erase. Bringing here with bloodstains all over, there is no other purpose, just to show it to others. It must be shown, not only for yourself, but also for the dead comrades, not to let their deaths go unnoticed!
Swords and spears are like a forest, solemn and quiet. Tens of thousands of people did not line up after landing, which seemed a bit messy, but a different momentum rushed towards the closed city gate.
As soon as they landed here, the city gate was closed to them, making them seem unqualified to enter this door.
They came here after a narrow escape, but they did not expect to encounter such treatment as soon as they arrived. An invisible anger ignited in everyone's heart!
Miao Yi, standing in front of the army, stared coldly at Fang Liheng, who had the highest armor on the top of the city, and shouted: "Open the door!"
The defenders on the top of the city looked at the group of people below. No one laughed at these people's embarrassment. Psychologically, they only felt an invisible murderous aura rushing over. The swords and spears in their hands were clenched again, and they felt dry mouth and tongue. Seeing these people, they understood what the real troops on the battlefield were!
Although they were standing high, they were stared at by those angry eyes, but they felt guilty.
Fang Liheng was a little frightened, and tried to calm down, and shouted loudly: "Who are you and why are you here?"
Miao Yi, who was staring at the top of the city, didn't want to waste time talking to him, and had the urge to directly order an attack on the city. If he didn't know that Yun Zhiqiu had fallen into the hands of the palace guards, he was worried that it would bring misfortune to Yun Zhiqiu, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Miao Yi gently raised one hand and raised it over his shoulder.
There was a movement in the battle behind, and someone took out a section of metal rods and connected them, and soon a large flag was raised in the air.
Blue tiger flags, various eagle flags, and various wolf flags were flying one after another. Each side of these specially made battle flags was stained with blood, and some were even tattered, but it made it difficult for everyone on the top of the city to look away.
Miao Yi suddenly cast a spell and shouted angrily: "Niu Youde, the commander of the Black Dragon Division of the Beidou Army of Zuodu Town, led his troops here. Open the city gate quickly!" The voice rumbled into the city and echoed, with a kind of anger that everyone could hear.
As soon as the name of 'Niu Youde' came out, the pedestrians on the streets of the city became quiet, and the shop assistants in the shops also stuck their heads out and listened attentively.
"Niu Youde?"
"It's Niu Youde!"
"Why does this voice sound so angry?"
"Could it be that those people who just fell from the sky..."
"Could it be that he was the one who killed Chu Zishan?"
"It turned out that he was the one who led 50,000 guards to defeat the millions of elite troops of Youding Territory! What is this madman doing here with people in anger? Damn it, don't scare me! Tianjie has provoked you, and there is a reason for the grievance. Why do you always pick on Tianjie?" (To be continued.)
