Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

The Bingmasi Yamen, the third courtyard.

Many people gathered together.

Shen Qing squeezed in and saw Wei Chengye who was still in shock.

He was in a very bad condition at this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he was frightened.

Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan and Yang Henshan were also here. When they saw Shen Qing coming, they all nodded.

Shen Qing hurriedly asked: "What... is going on?"

Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, and Yang Henshan looked at each other. After a while, Zeng Weifeng said, "Let me say it."

His face was serious, he stared at Shen Qing and said, "Just now, General Zeng came back and said that he met the leader of the Huangtian Sect, Huangtian Daozhu. Lord Lan was no match for him and was beaten to death on the spot."

Hearing this, Shen Qing's expression changed.

Lan Gongliang was a martial artist at the Kongyou realm. How could he die like this?

Are you kidding me?
Shen Qing's expression turned a little ugly: "Is this true or false?"

"It's probably true." Zeng Weifeng continued, "Before, Lord Lan had already discovered a large number of Huang Tianjiao followers outside the city, and today he also eliminated a member of Qu's tribe. Now it seems that the people sent by Huang Tianjiao are far more than these, and they have big plans."

Shen Qing said: "Has the palace been notified?"

Zeng Weifeng nodded and said seriously, "We have just sent people over there, and we have also sent people to patrol outside the city. In short, we all have to be extremely alert right now, otherwise we might get into big trouble."

Shen Qing agreed: "In this case, we should not waste time here. Let's go, everyone, quickly move, patrol and deploy defenses. If something goes wrong in the capital, we will all be in trouble."

"That makes sense. Let's go!" Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan and Yang Henshan all reacted and made arrangements quickly.

Shen Qing also quickly called Yu Haibei, and gathered all the officers on duty and on leave, and sent them out to patrol the southern area of ​​the capital to ensure safety.

At this moment, Shen Qing suddenly felt a warmth in his arms.

He hurried into a secluded corner and took out the psychic mirror.

There is rare news from the long-lost Shen Xiaohu.

"Leave immediately! Our Holy Sect will lead the entire sect to attack the capital! The Taoist Master is here in person!"

Seeing these few short words, Shen Qing was shocked and felt a chill down his spine.

Without any hesitation, he put the psychic mirror in his arms and ran straight home.

The incident happened suddenly, and Shen Qing did not hold back at all, nor did he care about the many taboos in Kyoto.

He simply used the Great Void Movement Technique, crossed a few steps, and returned home.

My aunt and eldest sister Shen Fang and others were mending shoes and doing needlework in the backyard of their home.

He was very surprised to see Shen Qing suddenly appear at home.

The maid beside her raised her head and said, "Oh, Lord Marquis, why did you come back so suddenly?"

Shen Qing didn't waste any words and said directly: "Get ready to pack up and leave immediately."

Long before, after being reminded by Shen Xiaohu, he prepared a hidden manor outside the capital city specifically for avoiding disasters.

Now this is where it comes in handy.

Seeing Shen Qing looking so serious, aunt and others did not ask any more questions.

Countless experiences in the past have proved Shen Qing's judgment.

So, everyone was very obedient and packed their things quickly without even a complaint, as if they had become accustomed to it.

In addition, some preparations had been made before, and at Shen Qing's request, the entire mansion was quickly cleaned up.

Three carriages were neatly lined up in front of the gate of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, and everyone got on the carriages in an orderly manner.

Li Yuyao, who was standing in the mansion, had no idea why Shen Qing suddenly wanted to do such a thing and asked everyone in the mansion to leave the city.

She looked around with her bright eyes, as if thinking about something.

After a while, she beckoned the maid beside her and said in a low voice, "Xiaohong, go to the Li Mansion and tell them what happened here, then go directly to the city gate and catch up."

The personal maid who followed him nodded heavily, and when no one was paying attention to her, she walked out quickly.

Li Yuyao followed the crowd and silently got on the carriage.

"drive!"

The wheels rolled slowly and headed towards the city gate.

After dealing with the matters in the mansion, Shen Qingyou rushed to the Mountain and River Division and informed Huangfu Rou of the matter.

As expected, Huangfu Rou was very surprised.

They were in the Shanhai Division and had always dealt with various intelligence, and had never heard of the news that the Huangtian Sect was going to attack the city.

She didn't know many of the details.

However, out of trust in Shen Qing, Huangfu Rou did not doubt it.

"My dear husband, if the Huang Tian Cult is going to attack the city as you said, then you'd better hide outside the city. The outer city is also your patrol area. If you go there, it will only be morally damaged, and there is no fault in your duties."

"Compared to the so-called achievement, your safety is more important in my eyes." Huangfu Rou looked at Shen Qing tenderly and said.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What about you?"

"Don't worry, your wife is not a useless woman. She has some ability to protect herself." Huangfu Rou said solemnly, "You don't have to worry about me."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and saw through Huangfu Rou's thoughts.

She wanted to take this opportunity to climb up and compete for a higher position.

Huangfu Rou seemed to have seen through Shen Qing's thoughts and said, "Husband, did you want to knock me out and take me out just now?"

Shen Qing was stunned.

She really got it right.

Shen Qing restrained his expression and said, "If I leave you here alone, I am indeed a little worried."

"Husband, you are wrong. I would be safest if I were here. They would not easily touch us."

Huangfu Rou said seriously: "According to the intelligence collected by the Shanhai Division over the years, the Huangtian Sect should not be underestimated. It is suspected that it has inherited something from ancient times."

"If they really want to concentrate all the power of the sect to attack the city, it is hard to say what will happen to the capital."

"Do you think the court will lose?"

"maybe."

Huangfu Rou continued, "The Ji family's nine hundred years of accumulation is extremely terrifying. We don't know exactly how deep it is. Even if Huang Tianjiao comes, it may not be able to gain any benefit."

"So what you mean is..." Shen Qing was puzzled.

Huangfu Rou said sternly, "My father has always told me that you should not put all your eggs in one basket. You are husband and wife, and you belong together. If we are both outside the city, then if the court wins in the future, I'm afraid we will have a hard time explaining it. On the contrary, if we are both in the city, the victory of the Huangtian Sect will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

"The best way is for you and I to each defend one place. No matter what the outcome is, we will have more room to maneuver."

Shen Qing said: "Then isn't this putting you in danger?"

Huangfu Rou, who was always serious, smiled and said, "If I really fall into danger, don't I still have you, my husband?"

Shen Qing was a very decisive person. Seeing Huangfu Rou so determined, he stopped trying to persuade her.

"Well, if you see that the situation is not right, I will come and take you out of the city."

"I know the severity of it."

Shen Qing turned and left the Shanhai Division, went straight to Yu Haibei and ordered: "We patrol Kyoto day and night, there is nothing to worry about. If there is any problem, it will definitely be outside the city. You take a group of reliable brothers with me out of the city." Yu Haibei did not allow any doubts, organized a group of people and hurriedly followed Shen Qing out of the city.

Li House.

In a pavilion, Li Zhentian had nothing to do, so he grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond.

Underwater, golden and big red carp rushed in from all directions, scrambling for food, splashing water.

"You mean, Marquis Wu'an and his family just left the city?"

Li Wenxu, the housekeeper of the Li family, bowed and said, "That's right, it was the maidservant beside Miss Ten who came to tell us."

Hearing this, Li Zhentian said thoughtfully: "It can be seen that she is a filial child. Let her parents and brothers and sisters go, so that they won't have to be embarrassed in the future."

"Yes. Then about the matter of Marquis Wu'an..." Li Wenxu asked with his hands clasped together.

Li Zhentian pondered, "Marquis Wu'an is not a man who likes to show off and meddle in other people's business. Now that he and his family have moved out, he must have heard some important news. People live by the water and grass, so he must have known some information that I don't know. Maybe there are changes in the capital."

"I have a fort outside the city. Please prepare it. Have the young ladies and young masters pack up and leave the city. Take the elders with you, too. Take the most important things in your home and stay there for a few days."

"This... is it really necessary to mobilize so many troops?"

"It's better to believe it than not. I would rather go through more trouble than make mistakes and cause damage to the family." Li Zhentian said calmly.

Li Wenxu didn't think any more and just accepted the order: "Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."

More than half an hour later, following the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, the Li family also sent out a series of carriages towards the outside of the city.

Everyone on the street was curious about what day it was today and why it was so lively.

……

In the Imperial Palace, in the Soul-Care Hall.

A beardless eunuch rushed in from outside the palace and said in a grim expression, "Your Majesty, something has happened."

Ji Zikong, who was sitting cross-legged on a yellow cushion, opened his eyes, his eyes as bright as lightning.

His face was as calm as water and he said, "What happened?"

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is dead. He was just found dead at home."

"What's going on?" Ji Zikong asked with a slightly changed expression.

"I have found out that His Highness the Seventh Prince was practicing the Saint Body Great Perfection Method, and he became possessed and died due to the severance of all his meridians."

Ji Zikong frowned and murmured, "Great Saint Body Method? The one that Lord Shen practiced?"

"That's right, your majesty."

Ji Zikong thought of it almost immediately. Shen Qing might have evaded them and did not practice this immortal martial arts technique.

He was actually able to resist the temptation of the immortal martial arts.

Ji Zikong couldn't help but marvel at it, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Qinggao twice in his heart.

This kid is really interesting.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to summon Lord Shen to the palace for this matter?"

Ji Zikong said calmly: "How did the Seventh Prince get this immortal martial arts technique? I don't think I have allowed him to practice other immortal martial arts techniques."

"This……"

The chief eunuch subconsciously sensed the implicit meaning behind Ji Zikong's words, and knew that he was not going to target Shen Qing.

He thought about his words for a moment and said, "According to what I understand, the reason why His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was able to obtain this Immortal Martial Arts Manual was because of Chief Steward Ji."

"Then summon him into the palace. I should ask him how he is the chief steward."

"As you command, I will go find Steward Ji right away."

Ji Zikong opened his lips and uttered a chilling voice: "Also, any guards around the Seventh Prince who fail to protect him properly will be executed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The chief eunuch left the Yangling Hall, but not long after he appeared, a soldier from the Military Affairs Department, wearing iron armor and with a haggard face, rushed to the front of the Hall.

He knelt down outside the vermilion gate with a thud and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, I have something extremely urgent to report to you!"

In the Soul Nurturing Hall, Ji Zikong sat on the dragon throne with a gaze as sharp as a torch, penetrating through layers of obstacles and looking directly at the trembling figure below.

"What's the matter so panic?"

Ji Zikong's voice came from deep within the hall, full of majesty and superiority.

"Your Majesty," the officer said hurriedly, beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead, "Master Lan from the Military Department...he...he was unfortunately killed by the people of the Huangtian Sect outside the city..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into deathly silence.

Emperor Ji Zikong's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of disbelief and shock flashed in his deep eyes.

He stood up suddenly, and the golden dragon pattern on his dragon robe also leaped.

"What did you say? Lord Lan...he was actually...killed by the Huang Tian Cult's people?"

"Yes."

At this moment, the entire palace seemed to be able to feel the waves surging in the emperor's heart, and powerful auras were suppressed and surged up.

The death of the Seventh Prince just now did not make him so excited.

After all, he has many children. Even if they are all dead now, he can still sow seeds and give birth to new children.

But it’s different when it comes to Lan Gongliang.

He is a real martial artist at the Sky Traveling Realm.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou, how many martial artists like him are there?

How can you expect him to remain calm when he died in such an inexplicable way?

"Convey my order and summon General Zhao..."

boom!
Before Ji Zikong could finish his words, a loud thunder appeared in the sky, deafening.

Then he felt the sky was spinning and the ground began to shake.

"what happened?"

Ji Zikong looked extremely dissatisfied. He walked out of the Soul Cultivation Hall. When he saw the skyline in the distance, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

The whole world seemed to be swept up by an invisible force, and the roaring noise surged like a tide.

On the western skyline of the capital, a mysterious yellow color floated eerily, blazing like a flame.

Continuous and deafening rumbles of thunder continued to be heard from it.

This scene made the eunuch and others on the side shiver involuntarily, and the hairs on their backs stood up, as if a chill went straight to their hearts.

Even Ji Zikong, the emperor, was shocked when he saw such a scene for the first time.

He looked up and saw several spaceships of various shapes and styles. They seemed like magical weapons from ancient times. They were suspended in the air with magical powers and released powerful pressure.

If it could be concentrated in one place, it would be enough to make the mountains and rivers tremble and the sun and moon dim.

A flag with the words "Huang Tian" on it was flying high above.

The Huang Tian thieves have really invaded the capital! (End of this chapter)
