Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 267 The Fresh Grand Astrologer
"Quickly, quick, get on the boat, get on the boat!"

"Jintian Academy doesn't need to wait for Dean Yu."

"Oh dear, don't overthink it. I have important business to attend to and will be staying in Jianye for a while. Professor Shi will be the next leader of the team."

Since Xu Xuan had already revealed his true identity as a righteous Buddhist disciple to the public, he naturally took over the security work.

The next day, they urged the students of the academy to set off immediately, leaving Jianye almost as if they were fleeing for their lives.

In fact, many ships and convoys left today, some because they were afraid of yesterday's weather changes, and others because they were afraid of tomorrow's weather changes.

The Prime Minister of Changsha committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and a divine being slaughtered five dragons in the sky. Yu Gong then took over the reins of Jianye.

Everyone knew that a huge storm was about to hit this place.

Everyone's hunch was right.

Wang Jun, the Commandant of the Five Offices, led the Yijun Commandant Battalion, which had already departed from the capital. Although there were only a thousand men, they were responsible for guarding the capital and escorting the emperor when he came and went.

That was the elite of the Imperial Guards, and the force that Emperor Jin trusted most.

They were not sent here simply to maintain order.

Meanwhile, the convoy also included the newly appointed Grand Historian, who had been in office for less than a day, and Sima Dan, one of the Three Dukes of the Great Jin Dynasty, who was also in charge.

As the Minister of Works and a member of the royal family, it is most appropriate for him to represent the capital in Jianye.

Meanwhile, there were also several monks with fierce expressions in the convoy; these were monks from Jinlong Temple.

This was just the vanguard; other five divisions were also preparing to depart, and even the Sixth Army was being secretly mobilized.

It wasn't that the North learned the intelligence so quickly.

However, the commotion in the capital yesterday was no less significant than that here.

For as long as Jianye was in chaos, the golden dragon of destiny roared above the imperial palace.

From the moment the five dragons emerged together, they jumped and leaped around like madmen, displaying an air of unchallengeable dominance.

Because of their intertwined fates, even the Jin emperor, who was deeply engrossed in cultivation, would be forced to rise again by the trials.

A voice kept roaring in my mind, and the dragon's roar had a somewhat hysterical quality to it.

"My head hurts so much."

"Quickly summon all the officials and convene a grand court assembly!"

Emperor Jin, clutching his head, put on his long-unworn dragon robe and the twelve-tasseled crown, and staggered toward the main hall with the help of eunuchs.

With the help of someone, he has been attending court more and more frequently in the past year or two, almost as frequently as when he first ascended the throne.

The atmosphere in the imperial court today was extremely solemn, as if the emperor had passed away.

The extraordinary phenomenon of the Golden Dragon of Fortune is not something that only the emperor can see; anyone who can observe the aura can detect it.

This was no small matter, so everyone held their breath and no one spoke first.

In the end, the Grand Historian, who had been in office for less than a year, took the blame.

Because he was subordinate to the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, whose duties included compiling astronomical calendars and observing astrology.

The nation's fate is in trouble, and no local authorities have reported natural disasters yet; we can only speculate on the evolution of celestial events.

The guards once again brought out the imperial celestial globe, a priceless treasure of the court.

Even many high-ranking officials in the imperial court were seeing this for the first time. It is said that the previous Grand Astrologer died in Guobei while divining the secrets of heaven, and it is unknown whether this time will bring good or bad fortune.

The new Grand Historian walked cautiously to the center, calling out the name of the Grand Historian, and began to deduce based on the records in the secret text of the Primordial Calendar.

The celestial sphere, inlaid with numerous constellations, begins to rotate under the influence of external forces, constantly appearing and disappearing.

The armillary sphere revolves around four red rings, its endless circle absorbing the light of the sun, moon, and stars, twisting the starry sky to begin its positioning.

As expected of a divine tool for calculation, this treasure, imbued with the merits of the calendar, has once again completed its mission.

The Grand Astrologer's eyes were drawn to the starlight within, and he deciphered the message.

"It's Jianye! Five dragons have been born!" This caused an uproar in the court, and even the Jin Emperor was dumbfounded.

No, there can't be two suns in the sky, and there can't be two masters.

It's a bit unreasonable that there are six suns in the sky right now.

The Jin emperor was furious, and the imperial clan was furious.

The ministers were initially furious, then even more furious, as if their loyalty to the emperor and their love for the country had been tainted. Some stamped their feet and beat their chests, some were filled with grief and indignation, and some were so enraged that the atmosphere was incredibly heated.

In the blink of an eye, they spotted a familiar direction, causing a stir among the crowd.

Could it be that the events of the Wei and Jin dynasties are about to repeat themselves? If so, which powerful families will be involved this time?
If the five dragons established Jianye, then the Yin family is a possibility.

Other prominent families include the Wang clan of Langya, the Xie clan of Chenjun, the Wang clan of Taiyuan, the Yuan clan of Chenjun, the Huan clan of Longkang, the Xi clan of Gaoping, and the Yu clan of Yingchuan. If we also include second-tier aristocratic families...
Huh? There aren't enough dragons to go around.

Joy in one's heart is naturally masked by grief and indignation on one's face.

At this moment, Emperor Jin wished he could smash his crown over the head of the Grand Historian. What utter nonsense was this?

"What a courage!"

"Let me see again who is pretending to be a deity, feigning imperial power to sow discord among people's hearts."

The new Grand Astrologer broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the intense killing intent above him and the greedy, burning gazes around him.

The only thing one can do is to focus one's mind and use the power of the celestial globe to go to the scene and see what's going on, even if it means shortening one's lifespan.

After all, if I don't watch it, I probably won't live to see tomorrow.

The old Grand Historian died so mysteriously last time that he couldn't believe he would be so unlucky.

Hey, there's a dark figure slaying a dragon!

If this person can suppress the dragon's aura and ascend to heaven, he will have made a great contribution.

Just as they were feeling alarmed, a thick line of cause and effect spread from the shadowy figure and connected to the main hall through the celestial instrument.

"The foundation of a nation lies in its people." "History is created by the people." "No need for empty talk, just look at the upheavals in the world." "Only when there is no leader can the world prosper."

Not only did they hear Xu Xuan's mutterings, but they also saw the figures behind him, thanks to this concept of changing the world.

Therefore, the Grand Historian died.

At that very moment, the golden dragon of fortune stopped roaring and dissipated into the sky.

The Emperor's headache had subsided, but the dreaded glances from the court officials only made it worse.

Well done, Grand Historian! You're dead, so why didn't you say a few more words before you died?

The winds of Jiangnan eventually reached the capital, unsettling the hearts of countless people.

The courtiers remained silent. Emperor Jin then appointed the third Grand Historian to immediately travel to Jianye to resolve the fundamental issue of the state with overwhelming force, which led to the great commotion.

After the troops received the message from Jianye on the way, they slowed down.

This number of one thousand seems unsafe.

Sima Dan looked at the secret report, initially disbelieving, then smiling bitterly, then angry, then laughing bitterly. In short, he almost had a mental breakdown within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The existence of the Five Dragons' Qi in Jianye can be put on hold for now, since it has already been slain by a divine being anyway.

He was merely following the orders of the Duke to seal off the city with a single word and to take command of the troops with a single word, deciding the life and death of the Chancellor of Changsha.

This old man's abilities are even more domineering than when he was in the imperial court.

You, you, you're going to rebel!

I didn't believe it at first, but that's what the intelligence feedback from all sides said.

The storm in Jianye has only just begun.

Xu Xuan's fleet, of course, did not stop. With its banners fully drawn, it accelerated away from the center of the storm and headed straight for Xunyang.
