Chapter 243 The tall flame tree lights the way to the imperial tomb
Jun Jiuji was a little surprised. He took Xiao Ning'er behind a big tree and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ye Yining nodded, "I'm sure."
Jun Jiuji said thoughtfully: "It seems that the evil thing is much smarter than imagined."
Ye Yining felt the same way.
It is said that when things go to extremes, they will turn back. If you don't get rid of this kind of monster when you are young, it will be even more troublesome when it grows up.
She originally thought that if she found an opportunity today, she would use the spiritual arrow!
While the two were talking, the third prince and Shen Yaozhi walked over.
From a distance, the third prince had already said hello.
"Lord of Night City, Madam Ye..."
Ye Yining raised her eyebrows slightly, what are these two people doing here at this time?
"Is something wrong, Third Prince?"
Jun Jiuji, who was wearing a mask, had a cold breath all over his body.
The third prince coughed slightly and said uncomfortably: "Lord Yecheng, how about we make a deal?"
Jun Jiuji glanced at him indifferently, "What deal do you want to make?"
While the third prince was carefully thinking about his words, Shen Yaozhi blurted it out.
"We want to leave Beijing. Lord Yecheng has business all over the four countries. Can you help us? Whether it's money or anything else, we can do it."
Ye Yining looked at the third prince suspiciously, leaving Beijing at this time?
Do you really not want the throne?
Jun Jiuji also looked at the third prince deeply for a while before speaking.
"You don't need our help. If you leave Beijing, others will ask for it. There is no way they will stop you."
Just as the third prince was about to speak, he saw the seventh prince coming over, supporting his new wife, Ji Shuhua.
When Ye Yining first met Ji Shuhua, she felt that she was a very quiet and beautiful woman. Even though she was wearing mourning clothes, she could not conceal her scholarly aura.
When Ji Shuhua noticed that Madam Ye was looking at her, he also looked towards her.
Their eyes met, Ji Shuhua nodded to her gently, looking gentle and polite.
Ye Yining also nodded slightly but did not speak.
When the third prince saw the seventh prince, he felt a little worried, "Is the seventh prince here to find me, or is he looking for the Lord of Night City?"
"I came to see Brother Three Emperors. There is one thing. I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to tell Brother Three Emperors. I will not compete with Brother Three Emperors for the throne. I want to take Shuhua and leave the capital. No longer in the capital..."
When Ye Yining heard this, she paid close attention to Ji Shuhua's expression.
I saw that she looked calm, and there was really no other expression other than alienation.
The Third Prince smiled when he heard what the Seventh Prince said, "The Seventh Emperor has misunderstood, and I have no intention of taking the throne. Now the Queen Mother supports the Eighth Emperor. I know that it is unreasonable to fight for the throne, and I plan to withdraw."
The seventh prince looked at the third prince blankly, "Is what the third prince said true? Do you want to quit too?"
The third prince nodded, "Yes. To be honest, I'm looking for Lord Ye City just because I want to leave the capital. If my seventh brother also wants to leave, then let's come together!"
The seventh prince looked at the third prince with an inexplicable expression. He also made an appointment with the eighth prince!
Moreover, the Eighth Emperor also agreed to his request.
The eighth emperor brother also told him that the Queen Mother was using him as a cover and had no intention of supporting him at all.
Now the three emperor brothers are also leaving Beijing. If the three of them leave, who will become the emperor?
"Brother Third Emperor, do you want to go somewhere?" the Seventh Prince asked tentatively.
The third prince thought for a while, "Let's go to Jiuhan Pass to find Uncle Huang and Xiaojiu!"
When Ye Yining heard this, she secretly rolled her eyes.
I actually want to find them, I think it's beautiful.
Jun Jiuji reminded him calmly, "The side of Jiuhan Pass has been swallowed up by darkness, and there is heavy snow blocking the road. Are you sure you want to go to Jiuhan Pass?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, "Anyway, let's leave the capital first! Let's go to Jiuhan Pass first."
Specifically, let’s take a look step by step!
He subconsciously believed that it would be safer to follow Xiaojiu.
If Xiao Jiu became emperor, he wouldn't kill everyone.
If Xiaojiu is not the emperor, then they will have no hostile stance.
When the seventh prince saw that the third prince was going to Jiuhan Pass, he whispered: "I don't plan to go to Jiuhan Pass, I plan to go south."
The third prince was a little surprised after hearing this, "Where are you going south?"
"Let's go to Shuhua's hometown first!"
"Then we will take different paths."
While the two were discussing, they heard the Eighth Prince walking towards them from a distance.
Ye Yining saw that Shen Chanyi was not following the eighth prince. After taking a look, she lowered her head.
Seeing them all gathered here, the Eighth Prince also came over to chat for a few words.
After knowing that the third prince and the seventh prince were leaving the capital, he looked a little strange.
However, after a few words of conversation, everyone fell silent.
Because, the sky that had just brightened suddenly turned dark.
Moreover, this kind of blackness is so black that one cannot see even one's fingers, just like the situation in Guiyun City.
The only difference is that it doesn't snow here.
Ye Yining unconsciously hugged Jun Jiuji's arm, feeling slightly uneasy.
The darkness starts from Guiyun City, and no matter how fast you go, you can't reach the imperial mausoleum so quickly.
"Don't be afraid!" Jun Jiuji comforted her softly, then took Xiao Ning'er into her arms.
"Is it going to get dark here in the capital as well?"
Shen Yaozhi hugged the third prince's arm in fear.
"Which one of you has a luminous pearl on you?"
The Eight Emperors didn't dare to say it. In fact, he was also afraid of the dark.
Ye Yining actually has everything, but she is Mrs. Ye now, so when others don't move, she naturally doesn't move either.
"I don't have the Night Pearl." The third prince said with a headache.
All his belongings were in the carriage down the mountain. Apart from some banknotes, he really didn't have anything like this.
"I, I have."
Ji Shuhua whispered something, and then took out a thumb-sized luminous pearl from the pouch around her waist.
However, the light only lit up a little and did not play the role of lighting at all.
"I have a fire talisman, please step aside."
Jun Jiuji slapped a tree on the side with one hand, and then attached a fire talisman to the tree.
The next moment, the tall trees suddenly burst into flames.
For a time, everything around was illuminated by the fire.
The panicking procession in the distance became calmer because of the light here.
"Is this... this fire talisman so useful?" the third prince said with envy.
In the past two days, he also saw the fire talisman in the trading room, but he didn't buy it.
“It’s easy to use.”
Jun Jiuji pulled Xiao Ning'er away to prevent the flames blown by the wind from burning her.
The two walked a little further, then chose another tree and used the fire talisman again.
For a time, the road leading to the imperial mausoleum was illuminated by tall flame trees.
General Ye was worried that darkness could easily lead to accidents, so he immediately ordered the procession to speed up the procession.
The civil and military officials who followed behind were panicked and anxious, and many of them had already started running.
When everyone hurried to the imperial mausoleum, Ji Shuhua quietly pulled the seventh prince to a remote place while no one was paying attention.
