Chapter 66: Coming to the Palace
The imperial city of the Great Qi Kingdom, Wangjing, has a long history and has gone through seventy-three generations of monarchs.
This situation occurs, which is naturally related to the geographical environment. The weather is good and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. It is a famous fish and rice town on the mainland.
Thousands of miles of fertile land, nurtured countless people, and many aristocratic families.
Wangjing Imperial City is even more spectacular, with neat and wide streets, and cars and horses flowing on the streets.
There are more than three million people living inside and outside the imperial city, and merchants from all over the country are coming in.
However, in recent times, the atmosphere in the imperial city has become tense.
Wars on the frontier were flying, and countless people were displaced, and the news had already reached the capital.
If the territory is violated and attacked, no monarch can tolerate it and will immediately launch a defensive counterattack.
At the beginning, the Emperor of the Great Qi did issue an order to annihilate all the invading enemies.
But not long after, bad news came frequently, and the frontier defenders were constantly defeated, and the invading enemy was in full force.
The border army of Daqi asked for support and hoped to allocate enough military expenditure, otherwise it would inevitably lead to the collapse of the morale of the army.
In theory, war begins, it will consume a lot of money, and it is natural that the border troops urgently need military expenditure.
However, unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Great Qi did not approve it for a long time, and obviously did not want to pay the money.
This incident caused an uproar when it came out.
The Emperor of the Great Qi was stingy and greedy for money and cleverly established a name to plunder the wealth of the people. This is a well-known thing.
To make money, auction mountains, rivers and minerals, and sell all kinds of official positions, are all good things done by this emperor.
It is said that in private there are some banned industries, and the real controller behind it is this monarch.
People say that this Emperor of Great Qi was actually a strange beast who was reincarnated as a spirit. He was greedy for money by nature and only ate but not pulled.
Want him to pay for his money and increase military spending to resist foreign enemies is no different from cutting off his body and killing him.
It is natural that there is no funding for a long time.
There was even news that the Emperor of Qi planned to summon various families to prepare for raising funds to fight against foreign invasions.
It means that once the country is damaged and the enemy goes straight in, the first thing that suffers losses will be the major families.
In order to protect property, all major families should pay.
It also stated that if the war is won, after occupying the enemy's land, the person who contributes will enjoy the dividends of the war.
When the news spread, it was another uproar, which attracted a lot of discussion in private.
With the enemy in front of him, the king of a country surpassed him so much, which was extremely ridiculous.
Perhaps because he was worried that something would happen, he was afraid that someone would endanger his own safety, so the Emperor of Daqi sent his own imperial guards.
It is the only army he is willing to pay and build is built with great money, just to protect himself at critical moments.
The emergence of these imperial guards temporarily made the original discussion disappear, but the private discussion and fear never stopped.
People are worried that if the enemy really breaks through the border and fights all the way to the imperial city, what should we do then?
Some families have begun to prepare in advance in private to avoid being caught off guard when the crisis comes.
When the people were worried, an unexpected change suddenly happened.
On this day, a huge monster suddenly floated over the Daqi Imperial City.
It looks like a metal boat, but it can fly away from the water and shines in the air, with silver-white brilliance all over the body.
Millions of people in the imperial city saw this strange aircraft and couldn't help but exclaim.
The Imperial Guards immediately rang the bronze bell that called the police, and many archers shot arrows to attack.
But except for first-class warriors, who can shoot arrows to a sufficient height, other archers are powerless.
Even if it can be touched, it still cannot cause damage. The arrow was blocked by a layer of white light and then fell.
Seeing that this strange ship actually headed straight for the palace, the Imperial Guards were extremely panicked.
Another alarm was issued, and nine times in a row, which was the most urgent signal of war.
On the city wall outside the palace, a bed crossbow was pulled and the bow was turned on, aiming at the huge airship in the sky.
The high-level warriors raised by the royal family are now wearing armor and holding sharp edges, making their final preparations before the battle.
Everyone inside the palace immediately hid in the house, and those who walk around casually would kill them.
Gu Yu
The Imperial Guards entered the inner palace and occupied the main position, keeping all the portals airtightly.
There have never been such situations in the past, which is enough to prove how critical the situation is.
The moment the airship approached, the crossbows shot sharp spears made by the heart and shot into the sky.
Its altitude and range can barely touch the airship, but it is still easily blocked.
"Don't hesitate and keep launching!"
The officer in charge of command, panic and despair flashed in his eyes, and shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, fire lights spewed out from the airship, and the crossbow on the city wall instantly turned into pieces.
The operator next to him was also torn apart by bullets, and his broken limbs and arms were flying around.
But in a blink of an eye, this line of defense was completely destroyed, which stunned the officers in the distance.
"What kind of monster is this?"
An imperial guard general shouted loudly, but unfortunately no one could answer. He was shocked by the scene in front of him, feeling despair and horror.
I have never seen such a fierce and terrifying enemy before they could fight.
Tens of thousands of imperial guards were like a group of stupid dogs, looking up at the big birds flying by in the sky. There was no other way except to jump and roar wildly.
When the airship crossed the palace wall and headed towards the depths of the palace, the imperial guards on the ground also shouted and kept chasing.
However, such an approach can only aggravate the tense atmosphere, but cannot ease the crisis at all.
"Hurry up, go and notify the Tianshi Mansion, and you will say that the palace was attacked by foreign enemies!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard seemed to have found a life-saving straw and quickly shouted at his officers.
"I have sent someone to ask for help for a long time, but I have never responded at all.
Besides, the Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Master Mansion are just separated by a wall. If there is an accident, you should notice it as soon as possible..."
When the officer said this, he immediately kept silent and could not say some words too clearly.
Even if you are suspicious in your heart, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise you will cause death.
The commander's face was gloomy and turned to look back. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take people to the harem to protect His Majesty into the secret path. You will never be allowed to come out until the crisis is resolved."
When the officers under him heard this, they nodded and were about to leave.
I didn't expect that at this moment, the airship in the sky suddenly accelerated and hovered over the harem in an instant.
The sudden change surprised all the imperial guards. While roaring and protecting the enemy, they rushed towards the harem with all their might.
However, the next moment, mysterious figures floated out from the huge airship.
When someone tried to attack, they saw them reach out and then screamed.
The imperial guards, well-equipped and well-trained, were regarded as their confidant by the Emperor of the Great Qi, were slaughtered like chickens and ducks, and did not even have the ability to resist at all.
"Immortal Master!"
Seeing this, the commander of the Imperial Army was stunned and finally understood why there was no reinforcement from the Heavenly Master Mansion.
Because the enemy is also a cultivator and is strong, the immortal master of the Tianshi Mansion is no match for it at all.
Even the Heavenly Master Mansion is no match for it, but just a mortal guard. What can we do at this moment?
It seems that there is no other use except to fill in the life and delaying the time.
Maybe I can only pray that a miracle will happen next.
The commander closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes full of determination.
The foolish monarch in the eyes of outsiders is a wise ruler to the imperial guards, and he has given them generous treatment.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while is the best time to repay the emperor's kindness.
Just as he was about to issue an order and rushed into the harem to fight to protect the emperor, a sound suddenly spread throughout the imperial city.
"The Emperor of the Great Qi was incompetent and injustice, and harmed the people.
Today, we will punish God, count his sins and remain fair to all people.
Anyone who encounters injustice in the country can make an appeal and report the truth, and the Lord of Loucheng will definitely uphold justice."
Accompanied by the thunderous sound, another amazing scene appeared. A cage was hung under the airship, and the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom was imprisoned inside.
