Chapter 117 Chapter 110 Seven: The Messenger

The peach blossom lanterns on the Wangque Terrace float out of Liuzhufang, fall into the Jinghe Canal and go north along the water, like fire floating in the night water.

A night crow-like bird shadow flew from the west, swept across the water, and flew in the direction of the old imperial city.This bird shadow is close to the old imperial city, circling in the air, the ridge beasts on the tiles of the temples roar silently at the moon, Feng Chenwei patrols the palace wall with a lantern, and the bright white light of the shark lantern faintly illuminates the picture on the wall.

It continued to peek inside, and within the city wall of [-] miles around, surrounded by a magnificent tooth city with a circle of [-] miles, that was the residence of Emperor Dayong.It hovered like this for a while, and flew towards the Yanshen Gate of the old imperial city.As it approached the ground, the bird shadow whipped up a gust of wind.The tail of the guard on the military crown of the soldier guarding the gate was pushed down by the strong wind. He looked up and saw a huge bird shadow flying towards him.

The bird shadow fell to the ground, but with a splash, it turned into a white-faced man with robes woven like eagle feathers.

All the armored soldiers are facing a formidable enemy. Since Shengjia entered Xuandu, this is the first monster to invade the imperial city.

A city guard raised his rhinoceros horn and blew it. The sound of the horn sounded like an iron wave near Yanshen Gate. Countless iron armors rushed in, three layers in and three layers out, surrounding the white-faced man.

The tip of the halberd was stacked like silver scales, framing the white-faced man's neck and pressing down on his shoulders.General Lang, who was in charge of guarding the gate, looked at the uninvited guest coldly from outside the crowd. With just a wave of his hand, the tip of the halberd that was blessed with the evil spell could stab the white-faced man into a sieve. The white-faced man did not resist, but said loudly: "The envoy of Lord Bixuyuan, please see the Emperor!"

Bixu Yuanjun is the Lord of Qingqiu, originally a great god enshrined in several places in the west of Dayong, since the saint chased away demons, this title has not appeared in Xuandu City for many years.Lang Jiang's expression was fixed, but he still didn't let his subordinates let go of the white-faced man. He picked up the brass animal head hanging from his waist, and said a few words into the animal's ear.

In an instant, the words traveled several miles through the voice-transmitting beast, and the city guards in the palace city heard the news from a similarly shaped copper animal head, and the news quickly spread to the brightly lit Zichen Palace on the east side of the palace city.Lang Jiang, who was guarding the gate, waited for a while, and a voice came from the mouth of the voice-transmitting beast: "Tell!"

General Lang waved his hand, still looking dignified, and led a group of Fengchen guards to escort the demon envoys into the Yanshen Gate.

After passing the Yanshen Gate, you enter the old imperial city. At this time, the bells and drums of the Taimiao have stopped, and most of the old divisions have turned on their lights.Naturally, the sage did not take all the civil and military officials with him this time, but among the accompanying officials, the important figures from the east and the west seemed to form a small imperial court. Although it was already night, they were still dealing with the government affairs sent by the Yujing talisman letter.

The white-faced man was carried outside the Zichen Palace by a long halberd. Looking inside the palace, the forty-something-year-old man in black clothes and clothes with a majestic expression on Danchi was none other than Emperor Dayong Li Yin.

On the west side of the bottom of the dange, Jiang Dulu, the great general of Fengchenwei, wears a snake belt around his waist and black leather shoes on his feet. He looks old-fashioned.

On the other side is Du Yuanli, the left prime minister of Dongtai, with a white face and black beard, wearing a gold-haired leather bag on his waist, and beside him stand the officials of the "Little Six Divisions".

The demon envoy was brought to Danchi by two Fengchen guards, and he saluted: "I am Mie Mengpei, the envoy of King Bixuyuan, and I came tonight without warning. It is really urgent, please forgive me for being rude. crime."

Mie Mengshi is a bird demon, and he has surrendered to Tu Shanshi for a long time.The demon envoy in the form of a bird looked down at Dan Chi, but did not look directly at the saint in black clothes, only heard the person on Dan Chi say: "Why did you come?"

The emissary said: "Come here to persuade the Emperor not to go to Taodu Mountain."

There was only a cold snort coming from Danqi, and Zhao Shu, the servant of Dongtai, took a step forward, "How can the meaning of a saint be allowed to be influenced by you?"

The demon envoy said: "Please listen to me, Emperor Ren. The Tu Shan family has been on good terms with the human race since ancient times. In the past, the ancestor of the Tu Shan family, the nine-tailed white fox, was also the concubine of the human ancestor. I think back then the sages purged Dayong West." At the border, the Tu Shan clan was there to help. The sage thanked the Tu Shan clan for his kindness, and even established Empress Cui, who is pregnant with ancestral blood. Please, the sage, let me finish my sentence because of this past affection."

The servant of Dongtai wanted to say something more, but he didn't say anything because it was about the queen.

Emperor Danchi said, "Let's talk, let's see what new tricks we can come up with this time."

The demon envoy thanked him and said: "When the Emperor of Ren drew down the border of Longwuguan, he lived in peace with all the tribes. After more than 20 years of peace, the Emperor of Man wants to practice Taodu Mountain. This move is tantamount to provoking troubled times again. In the past, the ancestors of human beings were able to reach heaven and earth, and still left the two gates of heaven and earth in Taishan and Taodu. With these two sources, the energy of heaven and earth has not been cut off, and all living beings have the opportunity to practice and enlighten their wisdom. Now the saint wants to guard the gate of the earth again, and truly It is an unwise move. You must know that the sun and the moon are full, and the spring is born and the winter is hidden. The number of days is the number of days. People are born differently, and there are strengths and weaknesses.

The voice on Danchi said: "I don't know how many times these things have been said, is there anything else?"

The demon envoy bowed his head and said: "As for the others, the Emperor must have seen it too. Now that the Emperor has not yet left the customs, the Eastern Shenpeng, the Southern Six Edicts, the Northern Ghost House, the Western Xiangxiong, and Yu Yuan have all reacted. Not long after the emperor left Beijing, natural disasters and man-made disasters broke out in more than a dozen states. Now outside the Longwu Pass, several clans have joined forces to harm the Emperor. Even if you don’t mention the outside of the pass, the Xuandu inside the pass is also in danger. Lord Bixuyuan ordered me to bring Speaking of which, if the Emperor is willing to change his mind, Qingqiu is willing to help the Emperor again to put down the chaos and bring peace to the world."

Obviously, these words were the news brought by the emissary.On the top of the Dan, the nine corners drooped, Emperor Dayong didn't change his expression, he waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this anymore, you step back!"

The demon envoy of Miemeng clan sighed and saluted: "It's a pity! Although your Majesty has not changed his mind, please don't forget Tu Shan clan's warning today."

Two Fengchen guards escorted the emissary out of Zichen Palace, and the Zichen Palace was silent for a while.

An accompanying You Buque said: "What the envoy of Qingqiu said is indeed reasonable, and the evils of troubled times have not healed..."

Zuo Shiyi on the side immediately retorted: "The fox family has always been cunning, but it's just a double-edged, and it's a rudder when it sees the wind. Now that the Xuandu is in chaos, isn't it possible that the Tushan family is not helping?"

Inside the Zichen Palace, there was a lot of discussion.

The envoy from Qingqiu was escorted by the Fengchen army, walked out of the Yanshen Gate all the way, and looked back.The feathers swung up, turned into a black bird, flapped its wings, and plunged into the night.

Just as the Miemeng Bird was flying, a gentleman in white led a hunchbacked old servant across the Jinming Bridge in Yongxingfang, stood on the ramp outside Wangyue Temple, and looked towards the southeast of the old imperial city.

Looking from this side, there are outlines of mountains protruding from the palace walls.The mountain in the wall is a rockery made of stones from the top ten famous mountains in the world, and it is a magnificent spectacle in the old imperial city.Therefore, the mountain is located in the southeast corner of the old imperial city, hence the name "Duiyue".
