Emperor Henghuan stepped onto the long staircase that exuded a faint musty smell. The surroundings immediately flashed with light. The luminous pearls suddenly shined brightly, illuminating the staircase as if it were daytime. He walked down the stairs.
On the stairs and on the surrounding walls, stars are shining brightly, which is a feast for the eyes!
Even King Hongyang had never seen this scene before. This place was not something that a prince like him could enter. Historically, only the emperor and his successors could enter the secret passage.
Obviously, Emperor Henghuan has placed King Hongyang in the position of the next emperor. Otherwise, King Hongyang will never be allowed to enter this secret passage, no matter how good the relationship between the two is. Of course,
If someone else walks in here, the ancestor will be unhappy, and he might strangle the intruder to death.
Passing through the long underground steps, we entered a small | cramped space. This was a square space only thirteen or four steps wide. There was a sandalwood coffin placed in the space, and the sandalwood was covered with a thick layer of wood.
There was a layer of dust. It was obvious that the coffin had been placed here for too long.
This is the largest forbidden area in the entire palace. Even the two deaf and mute eunuchs guarding this place are not allowed to go down into the tunnel.
King Hongyang only knew that his ancestor had not left the palace, but he never knew that this immortal ancestor would live in a coffin. This feeling made King Hongyang feel uncomfortable all over. Hong Yang
Wang's original guess was that an immortal being would roam around the world and do whatever he wanted. This would bring him happiness, but he was locked in such a small space and still lying in a coffin.
Inside, it was simply a life worse than death.
Emperor Henghuan walked to the coffin, bowed and said: "Ancestor, the younger generations are in trouble."
Following Emperor Henghuan's voice, the silent coffin suddenly made a creaking sound, and the lid of the coffin was slowly lifted. The sound echoed continuously in the small space, making people feel creepy all over.
As the coffin lid opened, an unpleasant smell immediately rushed out from the coffin. Some of it was like a spicy smell, but more of it was a smell of something broken, but not rotten. It was very
It's hard to describe, but just smelling this smell makes people feel chest tight and want to vomit.
King Hongyang quickly took a deep breath to suppress the annoyance in his chest.
"Hey hey hey, doesn't the smell of the living dead smell bad?" A strange laughter came from the coffin.
King Hongyang couldn't help but sigh and quickly lowered his head.
"Little guy, how long has it been?" Following this voice, a fluffy guy sat up from the coffin. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see a pair of twinkling eyes among the long hair.
Eyes with dim light.
"Oh? Little guy, it's you, how big have you become in a flash? The last time I saw you, you had just ascended the throne. It seems that I have been sleeping for thirty or forty years again this time." Emperor Yanji's voice was very soft,
It is filled with a kind of care from the elders to the younger ones.
"What happened? You want to alarm me?" Before Emperor Henghuan could speak, Emperor Yanji continued to ask.
Emperor Henghuan roughly described the situation encountered in the imperial capital at this time one by one. After Emperor Yanji listened, he remained silent. After a full quarter of an hour, Emperor Yanji shook his head and said: "Listen to what you said.
Come on, that flesh-born treasure should have absorbed all the power from that national master. That flesh-born treasure should have become more powerful now. Of course, a flesh-born treasure is nothing special. I didn't fight to the death at the beginning.
Got one? But those firearms you mentioned are so incredible, even the silver kui chime stone was knocked away, tsk tsk!"
Emperor Yanji then said very firmly: "Just hand over the title of emperor. How can there be a country that lasts for thousands of years? Little guy, I don't think you have much life left, but you want him to succeed?"
Emperor Henghuan nodded and said: "Exactly, my sons are not ready yet and cannot bear the burden of this troubled world, so I want to pass the throne to my younger brother. If anything happens after my death, please ask my ancestors to take action."
.”
Emperor Yanji chuckled and said: "Little guy, ancestors, I lie here and want to die, just to give some protection to the descendants of the Li family at the last moment. You can die in peace. Okay, I'm sleepy. I want to
Let's continue sleeping. There is no need to close the coffin lid. If it is closed, I won't be able to hear the sounds outside. By the way, the dragon has grown a lot recently. A big hole was blown in the city wall. I have to find a way.
Make up for it as soon as possible, don't let it escape, this is the business, don't take anything else too seriously."
After saying this, Emperor Yanji collapsed and fell back into the coffin. He made no sound, not even a breath.
Emperor Henghuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but still had a sad look on his face. He gave King Hongyang a hand and pulled the confused King Hongyang out of the underground chamber.
After leaving the dark room, Emperor Henghuan kowtowed heavily again eighteen times, and the separated ground creaked and healed together.
At this time, Emperor Henghuan wiped his dusty forehead and whispered: "I have to tell you the biggest secret of our Li family now. Not only did our ancestors gain eternal immortality by devouring the body of the most precious flesh fetus,
My life has also inherited all kinds of powers from the flesh-born treasure, but after all, this power does not belong to my ancestors. My ancestors can only use it, but they cannot cultivate it."
"So every time the ancestors do something, part of this power will be dissipated. Even if they are just walking on the road, this power is constantly dissipating and disappearing. Therefore, in order to use this power on the tip of the knife, the ancestors will not have to use it in daily life.
If you are completely depleted in life, you choose to sink your coffin here and keep all the consumption of your body to a minimum, so that you can keep that extremely powerful force from dissipating unknowingly."
King Hongyang couldn't help but suddenly realized. Then King Hongyang glanced at the spirit tablet and whispered: "If the ancestor is willing to come out and fight with that flesh-born treasure, which one will win?"
Emperor Henghuan shook his head, "I don't know this, and I can't guess, but I heard that the power of those flesh-born treasures is limited and cannot be fully used. After the ancestors obtained those powers, they can operate to one or two percent.
At this level, I don’t know how powerful the one or two percent is..." Emperor Henghuan put away the word "I" in front of his younger brother, and I'm afraid there will be no chance to call himself "I" in the future. Thinking of this, Henghuan
Emperor Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, he thought that he would never become the king of the country. At most, his son would not be able to clean up this mess and take the title of the king of the country. Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly.
It seems that he is afraid that he will not get this title if he dies.
Emperor Henghuan then pondered for a moment and said: "Since our ancestors said that the matter of the dragon is more important than the flesh-born treasure becoming emperor and seizing the throne of our Li family, then you should immediately start this matter and re-reinforce the city wall.
I'm afraid we can't afford to build the city wall now, so we'll just build one or two more layers at the thirteenth level of the city wall. Others can't do this, but if you do it, there should be no problem."
Building the city wall will definitely require a lot of labor. The people are dying and dying. There are not many that can be mobilized. Now it is necessary to mobilize the domestic slaves of those noble officials. Compared with the people outside, behind the sixth city wall
There were basically no casualties among the officials and nobles' domestic slaves, but not everyone could mobilize them. But King Hongyang was different. He had exactly what he could do. After all, there were so many dangerous things in the imperial capital.
In terms of fame, no one can compare to the King of Hongyang who even killed his own brother and humiliated his sister-in-law.
King Hongyang nodded and said: "I am very familiar with pretending to be a bad person!"
Emperor Henghuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I have never learned how to pretend to be a grandson!"
Chang Xiao opened his eyes. At this time, three days had passed since Chang Xiao met Li Longyu and conveyed his request. During these three days, there was silence in the imperial capital at first, and then there was the sound of killing, one after another.
Blood energy surged out from the imperial capital, making the sweet smell smellable wherever Chang Xiao was.
Chang Xiao didn't bother to care about what happened in the imperial capital. As long as it involved the dirty things inside the throne room, it was hard to describe all the dirty things.
Chang Xiao felt a little nostalgic at this time, remembering Emperor Chongzhen who had unconditional trust in him but was eventually usurped from the throne by him.
There were two people standing behind Chang Xiao, one was Tang Yi, and the other was the white-browed Laowang who was already familiar with the body made of wood.
Lao Wang's figure no longer looked like wood at this time, and had basically completely restored its original appearance. Even the two long white eyebrows had grown out, but the white eyebrows were still like two tree roots.
, not bifurcated into countless eyebrows.
Lao Wang was standing behind Chang Xiao at this time, looking like he was watching his nose, nose and heart. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Only in rare cases would Lao Wang raise his eyebrows and look at the people in the distance.
Huangdu glanced at it, and then lowered his eyelids again.
Numerous figures were busy on the collapsed city wall in the distance. They were still repairing the city wall at this time. If Chang Xiao didn't know about the Li family's suppression of the national fate of the dragon, it would be a joke. After all, no matter how powerful the city wall is, it will often fail.
Chang Xiao couldn't afford the trouble with firearms, and now he wasted manpower and material resources to repair the city wall, which was of no use to Chang Xiao. The city wall was for the inside, not for the outside at all!
The city gate in the distance opened again. This time, it was completely different from the last time when Li Longyu came out sneakily.
This time the entire city gate was completely opened, and what came out was the entire ceremonial guard for the emperor's patrol.
