Following the two decrees issued by Emperor Xiao, all the alchemists in the entire Shenwu Kingdom, whether they were in retreat or those who were refining alchemy, all walked out of their residences and headed to the imperial city.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion gathered a hundred thousand troops in an instant and entered the imperial city in a mighty manner. Chu Jiangliu personally put on his war robe and stood in front of the formation, arriving outside Emperor Xiao's palace.
"Master, have you heard? Emperor Xiao suddenly sent an order for all doctors and alchemists to enter the palace, and he just received news from the Prince of Chu's Mansion that Prince Chu personally set up a formation and led an army of 100,000 to enter the palace.
"
In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, several ministers who were relatively close to Shang Lang gathered around and looked at Shang Lang with doubts on their faces.
When Shang Lang heard this, he was slightly startled, and then his eyes dimmed: "Why did Emperor Xiao suddenly send so many doctors and alchemists to the palace, and also asked Prince Chu to dispatch a hundred thousand Chu family troops to the palace!"
"Did something big happen in the imperial city?"
Shang Lang muttered to himself in confusion.
A minister asked: "Master, with these two decrees from Emperor Xiao, something big must have happened in the imperial city. Didn't His Majesty the Emperor Xiao send an edict for you to go to the imperial city, but just dispatched Prince Chu?"
When Shang Lang heard this, he suddenly looked unhappy.
Another minister also said: "Master Imperial Advisor, it stands to reason that now that we have just arrived in Lingnan, if something happens in the imperial city, and it is not a war, His Majesty Emperor Xiao should come to you for discussion as soon as possible. Why?
How about directing the flow of the Chu River?"
Shang Lang's face turned even colder, and he said with a strange tone: "Hmph, Chu Jiangliu is the confidant of His Majesty Emperor Xiao, and during the period of attacking the Feiyun Dynasty, Prince Chu has made great contributions. His Majesty the Emperor Xiao
Naturally, I trust him even more!"
"Of course I didn't expect it."
"But you are right. Since something has happened in the imperial city, His Majesty Xiao Emperor should come to discuss it as soon as possible. Since His Majesty Xiao Emperor did not come to me, it seems that I can only go there in person."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be a place for me, Shang Lang, in this Shenwu country."
Shang Lang said coldly.
Afterwards, Shang Lang dressed up and went straight to the palace.
When Shang Lang came outside Emperor Xiao's palace, he saw that this place had been completely surrounded by the flow of the Chu River. It was so swamped that no one, let alone a fly, could fly in!
Shang Lang narrowed his eyes and continued walking forward.
"Master Imperial Master, please stay." At this time, a captain from the Chu family's army stepped forward and stood in front of Shang Lang.
Shang Lang chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, generals. I have something to ask you to see Emperor Xiao. Please make way for me, generals."
The captain asked: "Does the Imperial Preceptor have the intention to summon His Majesty the Emperor Xiao? If the Imperial Preceptor does not have the intention to summon him, then please ask the Imperial Preceptor to go back. We are here under your orders. Your Majesty has an order.
Any trespassers will be killed!"
Shang Lang said coldly: "I am looking for your majesty because it is a matter of life and death for the Shenwu Kingdom. If you stop me and your majesty, Emperor Xiao, finds out, what crime will you be guilty of?"
"I'm too lazy to give you nonsense. Since you can't make the decision, let Prince Chu come over and talk to me."
The captain said: "Then please wait here, Your Majesty the Imperial Master, Prince Chu has gone to set up defenses!"
When Shang Lang heard this, he said with an unhappy expression: "You asked me to wait here? How dare you, a little captain, let me wait here?"
The captain's face was even colder than that of Shang Lang, and he said, "Even if you are Princess Chu and His Majesty Emperor Xiao's biological sister, you still have to wait for me today!"
"You!" Shang Lang pointed at the captain angrily, looking furious.
"What's going on?" At this time, a majestic voice came.
The captain clasped his fists respectfully and said, "I have met the King of Chu!"
Chujiang Liuliu walked over at a leisurely pace, glanced at Shang Lang, and said, "Master Imperial Master, I wonder if you have any business coming to Emperor Xiao's palace at this time?"
"Don't you know the rules of Emperor Xiao? No male is allowed to enter within a hundred miles of Emperor Xiao's palace! Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded, and the three clans will be punished!"
Shang Lang chuckled and said: "Prince Chu, I came here to see Emperor Xiao if you want to talk! But the soldiers under your sect are too rude. It's still what I said in the hall. Chu Jiangliu can keep his peace, not
You know whether you can manage your people well."
Chu Jiangliu said coldly: "Does the Imperial Master have any intention to summon Emperor Xiao?"
Shang Lang said: "No."
Chu Jiangliu said: "Then please ask the Imperial Master to go back. If you don't have an order, you are not allowed to enter."
At this time, a roar came from Emperor Xiao's palace: "Where is the Chu River? Why hasn't it come yet?"
Rumble——
A roar, like the power of heaven, came from the palace and shook all directions.
At this moment, when the 100,000 Chu family troops outside the palace heard this roar, they all trembled and couldn't help but look into the palace with fear!
Shang Lang and Chu Jiangliu were also slightly stunned, looking in the direction of the palace in surprise.
Shang Lang said with cold eyes: "This is Emperor Xiao's voice. What happened to make Emperor Xiao so angry!"
At this time, an eunuch hurried over, knelt in front of Chu Jiangliu, and said tremblingly: "Prince Chu, His Majesty Emperor Xiao has called for you urgently. Please come over quickly!"
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Jiangliu walked forward with a cold look on his face. After taking a few steps, he said without looking back: "Master Imperial Master, you also saw that His Majesty Emperor Xiao is here
When you are angry, if you are not afraid of death, just come over and give it a try!"
"The Imperial Preceptor has a high position. Even if His Majesty the Emperor Xiao has his will, our Chu family army would not dare to do anything to the Imperial Preceptor. But if the Imperial Preceptor really offends Emperor Xiao, I'm afraid that the Imperial Preceptor will
A person has nine lives, but they are not enough for Emperor Xiao to kill him."
After saying that, Chu Jiangliu walked straight over, and the Chu family army surrounded him again, preventing Shang Lang from moving forward.
Chu Jiangliu went straight past the layers of Chu family army defenses and walked into the palace. He saw that there were thousands of alchemists and doctors in the palace now, with gloomy looks on their faces!
And Emperor Xiao stood in the palace with an angry face, his face full of cruelty!
"Xiao Emperor!" Chu Jiangliu walked over and saluted with his fists in hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Jiangliu and said nothing.
Chu Jiangliu also stood beside Bai Xiaoxiao in a sensible manner without asking any questions.
Not long after, a doctor came out of the inner hall and said to Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, this old slave is incompetent and cannot undo the poison in this person!"
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard this, the anger on her face became even stronger, and she even looked a little frustrated. She said in a cold voice: "Drag him out and kill him!"
The doctor was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he immediately knelt down and shouted tremblingly: "Emperor Xiao, calm down, Emperor Xiao, calm down!"
Then, two more soldiers from the Chu family army came in, dragged the doctor out of the palace, and cut off his head with a single blow.
At this time, Chu Jiangliu looked up and found that hundreds of corpses were already lying in a pool of blood outside the palace.
