Chapter 952: The bad news (2)

He had slimmed down and became stronger. He was still handsome, but his skin was no longer white. The sun outside the Great Wall had darkened his skin, and the wind and sand in the North had rough his skin.

He was still that proud scholar, but he no longer showed off his sharp edge. He was more steady and reserved.

The war had made him grow rapidly, and the girls in the Academy had transformed him into a man, but they had not given him maturity.

It was his fallen comrades, the battles on the edge of life and death, and the enemies he had personally killed that had made him truly mature.

Chu Yuanyou rushed into the tent and said with a smile, “”Farewell, I’ll tell you some exciting news.”

Xu Erlang thought for a while and said, ” the military camp didn’t send out any troops. It’s not a victory. What’s the matter? ”

Chu Yuanxi waved her fist and said excitedly, “”The Jingguo Army has retreated.”

Late at night.

The candlelight was as bright as a bean. Xu Qi ‘an, who was at the table, held the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld and sent a message, “[I’ve explored the underground with the Imperial advisor today, but the previous emperor has not returned. Logically speaking, such a terrifying figure should not have left without a trace.]

[ two: maybe he has already replaced Emperor Yuan jing and become the

Emperor in the palace. Oh, I forgot, he is Emperor Yuan jing. ]

Xu Qi ‘an was very concerned about the previous Emperor’s disappearance. A high-ranked powerhouse who had been cultivating in secret for forty years had disappeared without a trace after his hiding place was discovered.

This made Xu Qi ‘an extremely anxious, because the previous emperor was yuan jing, and yuan jing was the previous emperor, and he had a great enmity with yuan jing. By the same logic, he had a great enmity with the previous emperor.

Right now, a top-notch expert was lurking in the dark and could bite you at any moment.

Who wouldn’t be afraid?

Of course, he could also hope that yuan jing’s loss of self-control was just a pretense. The previous emperor was a peak expert, and an expert should have the bearing of an expert and not care about an ant like him.

King Huai was killed by Shen Shu. What does it have to do with me? If it had been any other top-notch powerhouse, Xu Qi ‘an might have harbored some hope. However, the other party was the previous emperor, and the previous emperor had been contaminated by the earth sect’s Dao chief.

A peak expert who was filled with malice and had a completely evil nature would definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

[ four: let’s change our way of thinking. What cultivation system do you think yuan jing, ah no, the previous emperor followed? ]

In The Earth Book chat group, scholar Chu, one of the most intelligent scholars, raised a question.

The previous emperor had lost his virginity long ago, which was equivalent to cutting off his own path of martial arts. He had followed Luo Yuheng in cultivation for twenty-one years, so there was no doubt that he had taken the path of the human sect … Xu Qi ‘an replied, ‘

[ 3: human sect. ]

[ four: this is exactly what I thought. Then, what are the disadvantages of the human sect’s cultivation method? The previous Emperor’s rank was very high, and like the Imperial Preceptor, he needed to use fate to suppress the karmic fire. [ he definitely won’t leave Beijing. ]

[ 1. No, you’re wrong. The former emperor was different from Luo Yuheng. Luo Yuheng needed the position of Imperial advisor to borrow fate. The previous emperor himself was an Emperor, and he was blessed with luck. ] Huaiqing, one of the intelligence officers, or the other one.

‘Ah, I see. It’s fine then …’ Chu Yuanxi muttered in her heart.

[ one: there is a supervisor in the capital. Since he is not under the Dragon vein, he will definitely not stay in the capital for long. [ he must have left the capital.

As for where he went and what he’s doing, I can’t guess. ]

The most typical method was to determine the previous Emperor’s location based on his goal … In other words. if she wanted to know where he was, she had to know what he wanted to do … Xu Qi ‘an rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

The current situation was that the former emperor had devoured yuan jing and

King Huai’s two sons in order to live longer.

He lived for another forty years as he wished.

Thus, the former Emperor’s ultimate goal was still to live forever.

But the problem was, no matter how powerful the previous emperor was, could he be as powerful as the great ancestor Wu Zong? Could he be more powerful than a Confucian Saint?

These people had all passed away, not to mention the previous emperor.

“According to the rules of heaven and earth that those who have fate can not live forever, the previous Emperor’s true age was above 80 years old, and the Confucian Saint only lived to 82 years old. This meant that the previous emperor was actually reaching the end of his life. Of course, one’s body constitution could not be compared to another. The previous emperor might live one year longer than the Saint of Confucius in a state of extreme anger.

if I were the previous emperor, I would seek the way to immortality at all costs. But, but what should I do? ”

It wasn’t that he wasn’t smart enough, but that he had too little information and couldn’t even make a hypothesis.

What was the previous emperor doing?

Speaking of which, Duke of Wei had been out on the expedition for almost half a month, and no one knew how the battle situation was.

One night, almost a month after the army set out, the moon was as clear as water.

“Da da da …”

On the official road outside the capital, a fast horse galloped in. The travel-worn courier pulled on the reins of his horse and shouted in a hoarse voice, ”

“Open the city gates, 800 miles per hour …”

They passed through the outer city, the inner city, the Imperial City, and all the way to the Imperial Palace.

In the middle of the night, chief advisor Wang was awoken by a series of urgent knocks on the door. The old Butler knocked on the door and shouted, “”Master, master, wake up ..

In the dark room, the candlelight lit up. The maidservant sleeping in the outer room put on her clothes, held the candle stand, and rushed to open the door.

After a while, the servant girl came in with small steps and said in a low voice, ‘”‘Master, the Yamen has sent news that there is an urgent report from the pond.”

Chief advisor Wang was an old man, and he was exhausted after being woken up in the middle of the night. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “”Change clothes.”

For an important Yamen like the cabinet, there were people on duty at night to prevent such emergencies.

Whether it was eight hundred li or six hundred li, the courier was running with all his might. It was normal for a few horses to die from running. They could arrive at any time.

With the help of the maidservants, he put on his official robe and sat in the carriage. Under the clattering of the wheels, he entered the palace and came to the cabinet Yamen.

Chief advisor Wang walked quickly into the hall and sat behind his own table. He said slowly, “”Pond report!”

The officials on night duty in the hall immediately handed over the Tang newspaper that they had kept safe by their side. The eight-hundred-mile urgent document could only be opened by a few Grand scholars.

Chief advisor Wang took out a knife and opened the wax. He took out the pond newspaper and started reading.

He immediately fell into dead silence.

The Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, Qian Aohan, the Grand Secretary of jianji Hall, Chen Qi, the Grand Secretary of the eastern Pavilion, Zhao tingfang, and six other Grand Secretaries came together. They entered the inner cabinet and went to the chief auxiliary Hall.

They were shocked to find that the cabinet’s first assistant, the head of the Royal party, seemed to have aged a few years.

His face was dark, and his slightly cloudy eyes were a little dull in his slightly red eyes. He seemed to be immersed in some kind of painful atmosphere and could not break free.

Chief advisor Wang was still fine yesterday. What kind of blow could have caused his essence, Qi, and spirit to wither to such a state overnight?

Chief advisor Wang raised his head and looked at the scholars. He said slowly in a low voice, “‘Wei Yuan has been sacrificed.’

“Of the 100000 strong Army, only 16000 or so returned, ” he added after a pause.

BOOM!

Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their minds were shaken, and their faces froze.

The Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Qian Aiguo, muttered, ” this, this is impossible, impossible ..

Chief advisor Wang’s tone recovered a little, and he said in a deep voice, ‘

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth for now. My Lords, please cast aside all negative emotions and listen to me. This battle was very strange, and the Tang report has already been sent to the palace. Before the morning court, let’s first discuss …”

As dawn approached, all the scholars looked exhausted and left worriedly.

Chief advisor Wang beckoned to one of his trusted subordinates and ordered expressionlessly, ” send someone to the Xu family and tell Xu Qi ‘an about the war in the northeast.

He didn’t give her a note so that he wouldn’t leave any evidence.

After the confidant left, chief advisor Wang strolled to the window and looked at the darkest night before dawn. He remained silent for a long time, like a statue.

Wei Yuan, without you, the Imperial court will be lonely.

The sky was still dark, and the sound of knocking on the door woke up Zhong Li and Xu Qi ‘an.

“Who is it?” the latter replied.

“Dalang, someone’s looking for you. He claims to be from the inner Pavilion,” old Zhang said.

The inner cabinet? Chief Assistant Wang sent someone to look for me at this time?

Xu Qi ‘an immediately stood up, put on his robe, and said, ‘”‘Take me to him.”

Xu Qi ‘an walked out of the room and into the outer hall. He saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man in an official robe standing in the middle of the hall.

“Xu yinluo!”

The middle-aged official instinctively and subconsciously called out this title.

Xu Qi ‘an was used to the “conservative” concept of the people in the capital, so he asked directly, “”My Lord, what do you need from me?”

“The chief Assistant has asked me to pass you a message,” the middle-aged official said.

It was indeed chief advisor Wang … “Please speak,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

The middle-aged official hesitated for a long time before he said in a low voice, “”Lord Wei was sacrificed in the northeast.”

[ PS: the second volume is coming to an end. It’ll probably, um, take another week to finish … ] The kind that was full of energy..
