The sun is about to set, the New Year is coming to an end, and most of the businesses have gone out of business. Even the busiest streets and alleys in Zhongzhou City in the past look a little lonely without the lanterns and flags.
Zhang Ping didn't look at Xu Zhenyan who was leaving. He just looked at the sky outside with a slight irony, thinking that the Changsun family in Zhenlong Mountain was already like the last brilliance of the sunset.
In the darkness that soon descended on Zhongzhou City, Zhen Kuai squatted down on a street corner. He pulled out his shoes, but in fact, he touched a trace of dust on the ground with his hands.
After meeting the former spy leader of Purgatory Mountain, Zhen Kuai, who had long since left the world of practitioners, finally made a difficult choice.
A peaceful and happy life is worth cherishing, but his life and such a life were given to him by Zhantai Qiantang and Lin Xi, so before the end of the year, he left his wife and children and followed the middle-aged businessman all the way.
The traces came to Zhongzhou City.
He stood up as if nothing had happened and returned to the hut where he had passed his previous neighbor's stay. Then he lit the candle as quickly as possible and put his dust-stained fingers in front of his eyes.
The powder is a strange pink color, more delicate than the most delicate rouge gouache in Zhongzhou City.
Zhen Kuai frowned.
He subconsciously carried a basin of water, but before he tried to put some powder in the water, with just a slight movement of his fingers, he saw these extremely fine pink powders emitting crystals like swimming fire.
luster.
At this moment, Zhen quickly fell into a huge shock. He directly put his fingers in the clear water, and then he saw that just as he had guessed, these fine powders were heavier than water and not easy to water.
When it fell to the bottom of the water, it reflected firelight like countless pink crystals.
This is the unique fire crystal of Purgatory Mountain!
The only known effect of this strange crystal, which is only produced in the mineral veins of Purgatory Mountain, is that it can change the melting points of many ores and metals and be used for refining tools.
The higher the quality and the tougher the metal, the harder it is to melt and forge. Some metals can even be burned with the strongest flames of Purgatory Mountain, but they will not melt, cannot be cast, and runes cannot be written or inlaid on them.
Other vitality objects are made into soul weapons.
The powder of fire melt crystal can have strange reactions with many ores and metals, which can make these ores and metals melt easily, just like these ores and metals can be melted in the liquid of fire melt crystal. Moreover, fire melt crystal and these metals
After melting together, Purgatory Mountain still has some means to finally remove the impurities produced by the combination of the fire melt crystal and the metal.
Fire crystals are very precious and can only be used when refining some extremely powerful soul weapons.
However, following these days of tracking, Zhen Kuai was certain that the middle-aged businessman's mission was to transport many things, including the Fire Crystal, to Zhongzhou City.
And he was certain that the amount of fire crystals that this middle-aged businessman was responsible for sending in was astonishing.
Now everyone knows that Lin Xi has arrived in Zhongzhou City, and Zhen Kuai also knows that Lin Xi is already giving Emperor Yunqin a final choice. He does not think this is Lin Xi's method of doing things in public. He increasingly feels that there must be something big involved.
conspiracy.
…
It's very cold late at night in Zhongzhou City.
However, the warm charcoal fire in the palace caused the snow on the roof to still melt somewhat, and from time to time there was the sound of water dripping from the eaves and hitting the ground.
Facing the final trial, Emperor Yun Qin was not as violent as usual.
Perhaps for him, those days of calm waiting were the real suffering.
"Abdication? He wants me to abdicate?"
Emperor Yun Qin had repeated this sentence many times, so many of the officials kneeling in front of him had become a little numb after hearing it.
"Okay, I will see him in the imperial city tomorrow, and I will ask him face to face why he wants me to abdicate."
However, a fresh and cold word suddenly sounded, making all these officials feel as if a lot of cold air was blown into their pores instantly, making their bodies tremble.
They raised their heads with a chill lingering on their bodies and looked at Emperor Yun Qin on the dragon throne.
"Let him come to the Imperial City tomorrow, and let everyone in Zhongzhou City know this news. Don't stop the people of Zhongzhou City from coming. I just want to see, in front of all the people of Zhongzhou City,
I wonder if he dares to do something outrageous and unethical."
Wang Buping lowered his head feebly.
At this moment, many pictures appeared in his mind, the most vivid one of which was his teacher's tearful confession before his death. He himself was a righteous and passionate young man. He listened to the teacher's teachings and did his best.
Everything is for this court and for the king.
However, Lin Xi's revenge, Liu Xueqing's choice... many things that happened made him more and more powerless. He wanted to be loyal to this emperor, but when he heard these words of Emperor Yunqin, for some reason, he felt that he was loyal to Emperor Yunqin.
Full of deep disappointment and despair.
…
The sky is getting brighter, and what envelopes Zhongzhou City is no longer the joy of the New Year, but the great panic.
Everyone knew that Lin Xi asked Emperor Yunqin to abdicate.
All the ordinary people in Zhongzhou City had no idea what kind of changes Lin Xi's request would bring to the entire Yunqin Empire. Such news appeared extremely unexpected when it appeared in the calm.
A dazzling golden light also appeared in the early morning sky of Zhongzhou City in an unusually abrupt manner, falling towards the imperial city.
Many people's pupils shrank violently. Lin Xi's appearance was faster and crisper than they expected.
The Yunqin Phoenix, which had become even larger, landed outside the palace gate and landed on the square in front of the palace where no one except court officials were allowed to enter.
The palace door is open.
There were no courtiers waiting in front of the palace gate, because all the courtiers were in the palace last night and did not leave.
Countless people from Zhongzhou City gathered in every street and alley in front of the Imperial City where they could see clearly, forming new city walls around this square.
The entire Zhongzhou City seemed empty, except in front of the palace which was full.
The golden phoenix of Yun Qin soared into the sky again, and only Lin Xi stood quietly in the open square in front of the palace gate, carrying a long sword.
A flash of bright yellow color floated out from the palace, followed by Yunqin officials wearing various official uniforms like a tide.
When he walked out of the palace, Emperor Yun Qin's eyes were only calm, and only the majesty of the emperor remained. However, when he saw Lin Xi alone, his pupils still shone with surprise.
.
When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he hesitated slightly, but still made a gesture behind him to ask all the courtiers to stop, and then slowly walked out of the palace gate alone.
