Xun served as his chief assistant for more than 20 years. At least half of the officials in the imperial court were in line. A large number of close associates were also appointed in the army. The local government was even filled with officials from the "Xun Party" faction.
Now that Prime Minister Xun has not come to court, is there something unexpected?
The sound of discussion is getting louder and louder.
These people waited and waited, and another incense-burning time passed, and they suddenly discovered that General Zhao Tian, ​​who had taken control of the military power, had not come to court, and a dozen other generals guarding Guangdu City had also not arrived.
As for the emperor, there was not even a shadow. The eunuch who delivered the message turned blue and purple, and was stumbling and unable to speak.
"The emperor doesn't go to court either?"
At this time, all the civil and military officials began to panic, and they were helpless as they thought of a terrifying possibility!
It's just that they don't even dare to think about this possibility, and they don't dare to say it!
"There are many fewer royal guards in the palace. Something must have happened?"
A military general angrily grabbed an official from the "Xun Party" faction and shouted loudly: "Where is the Emperor?! Where is Prime Minister Xun?!"
"I didn't know! General, if we had known, we wouldn't have waited here." The official trembled.
The general jumped up again, grabbed the chief eunuch, and asked loudly: "Are you the one causing trouble? Where are the emperor's people!"
With such a big hat coming down, the eunuch couldn't bear the pressure and said with trembling all over: "They are at the Xiwang Temple. They all went to the Xiwang Temple early in the morning..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty also ordered me to wait and arrested 9 pairs of boys and girls overnight."
"Wha...what?"
When everyone heard the news, they felt as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Because today is the vernal equinox, it is an auspicious day for worship.
In the Kunlun Mountains, worshiping gods is a major religious ceremony and requires a suitable time period. It does not mean that you can sacrifice if you want.
Generally speaking, the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice are all suitable time points.
Even today's court meeting is only to discuss the sacrificial aspects. All civil and military officials go to the Jianmu site to worship together, and usually complete the entire ritual process before the end of the day.
But when I think about the current state of the King of the West, and considering that the emperor and others left early, taking eight pairs of boys and girls with them, that horrific fact will become a real possibility.
They are going to sacrifice human life and blood to the gods!
The King of the West will become a man-eating evil god!
Whoever pleases the Western King will become the next emperor!
Even though many people had considered this possibility, even though many people felt that the status quo could not last forever, when the horror came true, people could barely breathe, and several older veterans simply fell to the ground paralyzed.
Everyone's reactions vary.
A few of the older ones burst into tears, out of breath and almost stopped thinking. For them, the collapse of their faith was more uncomfortable than death, and they had lost their way forward.
Some people are thinking in their hearts, even if the King of the West starts cannibalizing and eats a hundred people a day, it will only be more than 30,000 people a year. More than three to five million refugees will starve to death in the Kunlun Mountains a year? Chaos is the ladder of progress, maybe
Able to take advantage of troubled waters.
Some people are also thinking about how to face the new emperor.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, who will win?
Prime Minister Xun, General Zhao, the Emperor...how should they face the victors among them?
One question after another appears in my mind, weighing like a boulder and making me breathless.
But there were also a few reckless men who were furious and shouted: "Who dares to trick the King of the West into eating people? Not even the princes, generals and ministers... can do it!"
"Where is the Kunlun lineage?!"
No one answered, and Master Tianyuan did not go to court either.
There was a loud "boom" and the sound of artillery fire came from the distant sky.
"Go to the Jianmu Ruins quickly!"
All the civil and military officials rushed out of the Jinluan Palace in a hurry.
…
…
On Kunlun Mountain, there are Jianmu ruins, and dark clouds as heavy as Mount Tai are about to crush the entire sky.
"Di Ting" is running fast on the hillside, holding a small Chenghuang Temple in his mouth, climbing over the mountain peaks.
It is trying to send this City God Temple to the top of Kunlun!
At the foot of the mountain, in the square in front of the Xiwang Temple, a melee broke out between soldiers and horses from various parties, and a fierce fight was taking place. Artillery, crossbows, catapults, and various siege weapons fired thousands of arrows.
Mixed with King Xi's evil thoughts, it affected the sanity of all the participants.
"Kill!"
The soldiers were not afraid of death and almost lost their minds during the battle.
The originally sacred and majestic temple of the gods turned into a hell on earth in just a few minutes.
Above the dark clouds in the sky, there is some kind of trembling terrifying malice, and pairs of eyes look at this land.
This malice exudes a strange coldness, intending to tear apart this space and directly enter this last holy land on earth - compared to the 12 suspended mountains in the outside world, Kunlun Mountain is the most peaceful and most populated area. Daqian Dynasty
Although it is gradually declining, it still controls a population of 1 billion. That is a population of 1 billion!
…
Di Ting ran quickly, with a trace of pity and ridicule in her eyes.
Its running speed is getting faster and faster, and its goal is very simple. It only needs to deliver the City God's Temple in its mouth to its destination.
…
"Kill!"
The multi-party melee continues, with fierce collisions between rune puppets, and soldiers forming square formations and wielding knives at each other. This cold weapon war has reached a fever pitch.
Blood flowed into rivers, and the ground was dyed red with bright red blood.
Countless black cavalry soldiers gathered together in an orderly manner and rushed towards the large number of yellow scarf warriors who were defending the temple gate.
Young soldiers fell to the ground one by one and were crushed into minced meat. Perhaps this was another "blood sacrifice".
"General Zhao, you...you led the army to besiege the Taoist temple, what do you want!" Emperor Li Hao roared with despair on his face when he saw that the Imperial Guards were defeated like a mountain.
"Xun Xiang, I respect you as my biological father, and I just want to leave you with a good reputation as a monarch and a minister. I didn't expect you to...conspirate to rebel! Do you want to sacrifice your life and blood to the King of the West?"
If possible, he would even want to point his finger at Prime Minister Xun's face.
"Your Majesty came here early in the morning. Didn't you have the same idea?"
How can you let His Majesty do it? Let the veteran do it."
"You..." The emperor's face turned red and he almost gritted his teeth.
The emperor is too young and his power is still too weak.
Now that the situation is over, if the Taoist soldiers of the Kunlun line were not still guarding this Taoist temple and temporarily saving him, otherwise, he would have been beheaded by the rebels long ago.
The emperor suddenly turned around and shouted: "Master Fu Tian, ​​why don't you let us in quickly! I want to sacrifice to King Xi now!"
"If you don't let us in, it will be too late!!"
Fu Tianyuan looked at the emperor with red eyes, then looked at the black clouds in the sky that almost suppressed the entire Kunlun Mountains; then looked at King Xi who was constantly emitting evil thoughts in the palace and affecting human consciousness.
"Your Majesty, blood sacrifice is a road of no return. If you commit such evil deeds, you will be ashamed of your ancestors, of heaven and humanity!" Fu Tianyuan sighed, "Unless my Kunlun lineage dies, this hall will be destroyed.
, no one can enter!"
"You deserve to die...I will kill all nine of your clans!" Emperor Li Hao roared, drew out the Emperor's Sword, and slashed at the enemies who were rushing towards him.
Fu Tianyuan sighed and kept commanding the Taoist soldiers to repel the enemy.
The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places; the earth sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground; humans send murderous intentions, and heaven and earth turn upside down.
No matter which force wins, the Kunlun lineage has come to an end here; no matter who wins, those disciples will be slaughtered!
Fortunately, he has other options!
There was a conch-shaped earphone plugged into his ear!
