Tonight, the Lin Manor was still brightly lit, but it was extremely quiet.
In other words, tonight, the entire Luojing City and its thousands of miles around are extremely quiet.
Because, everyone knows that things have changed.
A dark moonlit night with high winds.
Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo did not bring anyone else with them.
The two rode horses, leaving Lanxi and heading towards Luojing.
No one asked about the destination, and no one said it.
"when are we leaving?"
"The morning after tomorrow."
The two rode horses side by side. The moonlight was weak and the night was hazy. They couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and their words were somewhat distorted by the strong wind that was coming from them.
After that, the two of them were silent for a while.
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice came in the evening breeze.
"Thanks."
In the darkness, the young Confucian scholar smiled and looked at Luo Jing, who was surrounded by lights in front of him, without saying anything.
When the two arrived at the north gate of Luojing, the city was no longer bustling with the usual hustle and bustle, and there was no all-night bustle. It was solemn, and groups of heavily armed soldiers appeared on the streets from time to time.
Zhao Rong looked around and felt a little confused.
During the day, when he returned from a great victory, he passed through Luojing City and was greeted by people all over the city.
The spectators are like a blockage, and the sky is filled with boiling water.
In the Zhongnan Kingdom, famous people are respected and chatting is popular.
He suddenly became Luo Jing's most popular favorite.
Many pregnant girls and young women threw flowers, silk handkerchiefs, purses, sachets and other boudoir objects at him.
He was able to respond calmly to this scene of "throwing fruit into the car", smiling and bowing his hands.
It's just that some passionate woman started the rhythm and shouted "Zhao Lang" loudly, causing more women to shout in unison, and what's more, they even threw some soft and silky silk products at him.
He couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but blush.
But later, Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward to help him block some of them, and kindly collected the sachets and purses for him for him to check later... Well, Zhongnan woman is so enthusiastic, she can't let her down.
With good intentions, at least take a look at what's inside, well, just take a few glances.
Zhao Rong felt warm when he thought of the loyal little fox demon.
The night was fading, and the whole city was solemn.
At this time, there were some faint noises coming from some parts of the city.
The liquidation of the Lanxi Lin family has begun.
The two of them were running past each other on the main road in the city, one dressed in white and the other dressed in green.
The surrounding soldiers all gave way to salute and watched respectfully.
As the star on the top of Taibai Mountain got closer and closer, Zhao Rong found that there were people waiting at the foot of Taibai Mountain.
Looking up, countless Yulin guards and some Xuanfu guards he didn't recognize had surrounded Taibai Mountain and were waiting quietly.
Everyone remained silent and stood ready.
There was a chill.
In the air, there was only the crackle of burning torches and the clang of soldiers' armor clashing.
"How's it going?"
Lin Wenruo got off his horse, threw the horse's reins to the people who came up to greet him, and strode forward.
A woman in black wearing a pendant and wiping her forehead clasped her fists and said: "Reporting to the master, some people ran away on the mountain, including Qing Yuanzi, but Eunuch Chen has already gone after him. As for the others, they are all on the mountain. The ancestors and Liu
A layman has been going up the mountain for half an hour."
"Okay, wait."
Lin Wenruo nodded, crossed the crowd, and took Zhao Rong up the mountain with him. Everyone at the bottom of the mountain still stayed where he was, waiting for dispatch.
Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo walked side by side, walking on the broad and righteous path that he was very familiar with in the past few days, but at that time he was a good guest, but tonight he was going to be an evil guest.
Zhao Rong raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain where there was already a commotion.
Although the bet on the debate between Confucianism and Taoism only stipulated that both parties would cede their interests and no longer interfere in the affairs of the Zhongnan Kingdom, it did not involve the lives of anyone except Lin Wenruo.
However, both sides of the bet know that once they lose, they lose everything. The winner will almost certainly kill everyone. These are the rules of the game. If you are soft, you may even be labeled as cowardly by the onlookers, which will cause countless troubles in the future.
The consequences are endless.
The method of killing one person to serve as a warning to others does not need to be cruel, but it must eradicate the root causes and make them clean.
There is no better way to become a king than to defeat a bandit.
Zhao Rong sighed slightly, many people are destined to have no sleep tonight.
But soon he calmed down his expression, his eyes were cold, and he stepped up the steps with firm steps.
This is no longer the world that it once was. If you want to protect your things and the people you care about, you must be ruthless. Tolerance and retreat will only allow some people to take advantage of them, and in the end there will be no bones left. Therefore, on the mountain
That guy must die tonight.
Lin Wenruo glanced sideways at his friend and slowly explained:
"That ancestor is my great-great-grandfather, the founder of the Yulin Guards whom I told you before. He has been cultivating in the mountains for these years and is a bottleneck monk at the Golden Core Realm."
He doesn't have many taboos in front of his friends, and he directly talks about family secrets.
"Eunuch Chen is a worshiper of the royal family and a golden elixir monk. In addition, Layman Liuyi was invited by the royal family to help. The monarch seems to have given him an offer that he cannot refuse. It seems to be about his homeland."
"Are you sure?" Zhao Rong said softly.
"You can't escape. All escape routes are blocked. Even if you can escape down Taibai Mountain tonight, you still can't leave Zhongnan Mountain."
Lin Wenruo paused, then turned around and continued: "A half-step Nascent Soul monk, plus a Golden Core monk, he is only in the middle of the Golden Core realm..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's useless, he can't fly without wings. Ziyu, you also have a lot of credit for this. You took down his immortal cave clothes and cut off his last connection with that huge force... plus
Let’s go to today’s third conversation that determines life and death.”
Lin Wenruo let out a long sigh, "Tzuyu, Ziyu, how can I, the Lin family of Lanxi, thank you?"
Zhao Rong was silent for a while, changed the topic, and suddenly said: "The monarch's arrangement, if the outcome is reversed today, will he use it against you?"
If this is the case, then tonight will probably be another scene, with Chongxuguan and the royal family joining forces to hunt down the Lanxi Lin family.
Lin Wenruo pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be wary of them."
Suddenly, something different appeared.
There was only a slight noise a second ago, but it was generally calm in Taibai Mountain.
At this moment, it suddenly became as bright as day.
It's like a big sun rising behind Taibai Mountain, shining brightly.
Plants, trees, flowers, rocks, pavilions and palaces.
Every detail is revealed.
"It's the strange stone on the Taoist Temple on the top of the mountain."
Lin Wenruo snorted softly, "I have already guessed that the stone is the eye of the mountain guarding formation. Do you really think I can save you with this?"
Sure enough, within ten breaths, day and night were reversed again, and all the statues in Taibai Mountain were pulled up to the iron curtain by a giant hand, and were submerged in layers of darkness.
And the star on the top of Taibai Mountain that had been blooming for countless years was extinguished.
At the same time, a heartbreaking scream came from the top of the mountain.
Cutting through gold and cracking stone, it is deafening and enlightening.
"Lin Wenruo! Zhu Houcong! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
But the next moment, the sound was suddenly extinguished, like a duck being choked by its throat, and there was no more sound.
Everything on Taibai Mountain was completely silent again, as if the day just now had never passed.
There was only a slight numbness in the eardrums, reminding me of the scream just now.
