The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 553 Another Moon (3K Chapter)

Not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left with Shen Hao, a wisp of green smoke emerged from the darkness and disappeared into Bai Xuan's body again. Bai Xuan spat out a mouthful of black blood and slowly stood up.

As soon as she got up, she hurried to check on Zhang Yuanzheng's condition.

However, Zhang Chunxue's spine had been broken, and his whole body seemed to have lost its support, falling limply like a bag of flesh.

"Master Zhang!" Bai Xuan sobbed as she fed Zhang Chunxue a small pill.

After Zhang Chunxue took the pill, his condition improved slightly, but he still lay tilted with his eyes closed.

While Bai Xuan was still extremely anxious, she saw Zhang Chunxue straightening his back little by little, as if there was an invisible force supporting him inside his body, gradually allowing him to stand upright again.

It turned out that the divine light in his body began to take effect, straightening his broken spine little by little, but the recovery was not smooth. The whole person was stretched a lot, and seemed a little crooked.

"Director...you..." Bai Xuan was full of worry.

Zhang Chunxue opened his eyes and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Now is not the time to worry about these things. We have to find a way to get down to the warehouse immediately. If they act like this, it will cause a disaster."

"But now the spiritual communication has been cut off and we can't contact the outside world. What should we do?" Bai Xuan's face was full of worry. "We can't stop them even if we go down alone."

Zhang Chunxue took out the spiritual message and a smile appeared on his distorted face.

"Fortunately, we have already activated Skynet."

"The spiritual communication signal is cut off, but we can still contact everyone."

He lowered his head to operate for a while, then looked up and said to Bai Xuan: "Let's go down to the warehouse now, and the others will meet us through other means."

"We can't let such a person succeed. He wants to use the entire Chang'an to pave the way for his great cause. The Textile Administration must not allow such a thing to happen."

Bai Xuan nodded, supported the limping Zhang Chunxue, and walked into the pavilion in the yard.

Outside the yard, some auras were lurking, and it was obvious that there were many surveillance eyes hidden in the dark.

However, Zhang Chunxue waved his sleeves, and the restriction in the courtyard was opened. After the two entered the pavilion, Zhang Chunxue activated the mechanism under the pavilion floor, and the passage leading to the warehouse slowly opened.

The two stepped into the passage, and the entrance gradually closed above their heads.

Zhang Chunxue decisively activated the self-destruct device, completely locking the entrance to the passage.

Bai Xuan was shocked and asked, "Master Zhang, why are you so determined?"

"The entrance Shen Hao knows is only outside the warehouse, which is 108,000 miles away from the core. This is good, as it gives us some time."

"But...isn't the outer area a containment area? Isn't that the Crown Prince's purpose?"

Zhang Chunxue shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think he wanted to go down to the warehouse just to purify the weird creatures?"

Bai Xuan frowned and said, "Isn't it?"

"No, his purpose is the same as that of the North." Zhang Chunxue said slowly with a serious expression, "I finally figured it out. He is also coming for the dragon vein..."

When Bai Xuan heard the word "dragon vein", his whole body trembled, his face suddenly turned pale, and his heart was cold.

There was a dragon vein hidden under the warehouse, and she naturally knew this secret.

It is even more clear that if the dragon vein is passive, the consequences will be disastrous.

"If it's true..."

"Yes, Chang'an will fall." Zhang Chunxue nodded, his voice becoming colder.

Bai Xuan felt cold all over. Her family was in Chang'an, so it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.

"Then, what should we do?"

Zhang Chunxue's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "We have to activate the protection mechanism."

……

As the night deepened, lights flickered in the palace.

"Cough... cough... cough..." The emperor kept coughing. His face became paler and his chest ached slightly.

The Queen patted his back gently, her voice full of heartache and complaint: "Your Majesty is not feeling well right now, why are you forcing yourself to attend this Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner? The night wind has made your condition even worse."

"I can't help it. I haven't shown up for a long time. I have to show up again. Ahem... ahem..." The emperor shook his head and sighed, his voice revealing a bit of helplessness and fatigue. "Otherwise, everyone will think that this world is really going to belong to me..."

The emperor said this with a deep look in his eyes, which carried a hint of complexity.

"Let Jiale come in."

The queen nodded and signaled the palace servant to inform Princess Jiale who was waiting outside to come into the hall.

She whispered, "Are you really going to..."

"I have known the way of checks and balances since I was a child."

The emperor whispered, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"What's more, Wen Zhiliang, that monster, deliberately let me know of his existence so as to take care of his disciples and his current physical condition as the Chosen Divine Envoy..."

"Giving him the position of crown prince is better than him taking it by himself."

The queen frowned slightly, but said no more, just sighed softly.

The biggest problem is that they haven't had any offspring of their own for so many years. Perhaps this is retribution for what Your Majesty did back then...

She felt sad as she watched her husband grow older and his life gradually fade away.

At this time, Princess Jiale Li Jianxi entered the hall, stood not far away, and saluted respectfully.

"No need... to be so polite..." The emperor said a few words, then started coughing again and could only wave his hand.

The queen understood what he meant, so she spoke on his behalf: "Jian Xi, the emperor wants you to come over."

"Yes." Li Jianxi walked slowly forward and stood behind the queen with a respectful look and humble posture.

Although she was arrogant and self-indulgent, that was just her disguise. Her true nature was to know when to advance and when to retreat. "Jian Xi, your appearance is just right..."

The emperor was calmed down by the queen and was finally able to speak, his voice was hoarse and heavy.

"Do you know why I want you to follow me?"

"I don't know." Li Jianxi shook her head and replied.

After the family dinner just now, the emperor asked Li Jianxi to accompany the queen back to the palace with him.

Everyone just thought that Crown Prince Li Xuan had important matters to attend to and needed to look after Chang'an on the Mid-Autumn Night for the Emperor. And although Li Jianxi was also the holder of the divine sword, she was only a princess after all, and perhaps she was more suitable for taking care of the Emperor, so no one thought too much.

Li Jianxi thought so too.

The emperor waved his hand, the queen stepped aside, and Li Jianxi sat down beside the bed.

The emperor lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "There are some things that I know clearly. You have to understand that sometimes, being the crown prince is not the only choice..."

Li Jianxi frowned slightly. She was thinking about moving towards the center step by step, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

The emperor sighed deeply, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "He has great ambitions, which is a good thing... But, I didn't expect that his ambitions are much greater than I imagined."

Li Jianxi asked in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, do you mean..."

The emperor smiled coldly and said, "He wants all the people in Chang'an to pave the way for his temple."

"Although I hope the Supreme God will come, I never thought that so many people would be sacrificed..."

As he spoke, the emperor coughed and stood up, saying to the queen, "Queen, please turn the vase in the corner three times, one left, one right, and one left."

The Queen looked at him in confusion and said, "Your Majesty, please lie down quickly. What are you doing now?"

But seeing the emperor's determined look, the queen said nothing more and turned around to do as he was told.

After turning three circles, the bed beside the emperor moved and sank, revealing a secret passage.

The queen was stunned. She had been lying on this bed for many years and had no idea that there was such a passage hidden here.

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "This is the way of escape left by our ancestors. It is normal that you don't know it."

After that, the emperor took out a tiger talisman from under his pillow and handed it solemnly to Li Jianxi.

"Take the Divine Tiger Talisman and leave the palace through this secret passage... to find the Duke of Zhenguo."

"This night, you have to become another bright moon..."

……

Li Jianxi crawled out of the dog hole, covered in dust and with a black face.

But she couldn't care less and rushed straight to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to wash herself up when she got there.

However, when she arrived, she was told that the Duke of Zhenguo could not see her.

"My master fainted because he was unconscious after the prince came back. He was so heartbroken that he asked the imperial physician to come and see him. He said he needed to rest. Please come back tomorrow, princess."

After waiting in the hallway for a long time, a steward finally came out and said these words politely.

Li Jianxi remembered that during the family dinner in the palace just now, the Prince of Zhenguo did suddenly leave the table in a hurry, and no one knew what urgent matter it was.

Many people secretly said that the Duke of Zhenguo was not a good parent. The emperor was very unhappy at the time, but he had to give the old general some face.

However, she certainly knew that being ill was a polite refusal.

After all, if the Duke of Zhenguo was really unwell, he should have rejected her the moment she walked in. Why did he wait for so long?
It was obvious that he went back to discuss it before refusing to meet with him.

He said he would come back tomorrow. After tonight, no one knows what will happen to Chang'an...

Now Li Jianxi understood which side the Duke of Zhenguo was on.

"I see. Thank you, Manager Chen, for letting me know."

Li Jianxi nodded slightly, with a smile on her face and a gentle voice.

"Tomorrow, please tell the Duke of Zhenguo that His Majesty misses him very much. Although he is ill, he still thinks of him. I hope the Duke of Zhenguo will take good care of himself and not worry too much... It makes His Majesty worried."

After saying this, Li Jianxi said goodbye and left.

She was standing alone in the street, holding a half-broken tiger talisman, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone.

But now she also found that the spiritual communication had stopped, the National Academy was closed, and she didn't even know where this person was staying in Chang'an...

No, there is one!
So she rode her flying sword and flew quickly towards Qingyun Pavilion.

However, halfway through her flight, she was stopped by a Jinwu Guard.

"It's three quarters past midnight. A curfew has been imposed in Chang'an City. No one is allowed to fly." The Jinwu Guard said coldly.

"Curfew?" Li Jianxi frowned and asked, "Chang'an City has never had a curfew in the past hundred years. Why is there a sudden curfew tonight?"

"There will be many people on Mid-Autumn Night, so it's better to take precautions." The man said coldly.

Li Jianxi's eyes narrowed slightly and he took out the holy sword from his arms.

When he saw the sword, Jinwuwei's face changed and then he lowered his head.

"Will you give way?" Li Jianxi asked.

However, the reaction of this Jinwu Guard was strange. He raised his head, with a strange light in his eyes and a sneer on his lips. Suddenly, he drew his sword and pounced towards Li Jianxi.

Li Jianxi's heart trembled, and feeling the divine power surging from his body, she immediately understood what was going on.

This Li Xuan! He actually transformed the Jinwu Guards into his puppet private soldiers!
Li Jianxi no longer hesitated, raised the holy sword in his hand, and slashed fiercely at the Jinwu Guard!
