Chapter 55: Imperial City Planning Zuo Qiu picked up the ghost-head knife and casually slid it in the air, and then a thin red light extended from the blade. This sword is called the Ghost Sword. When fighting, this bloody evil energy can devour the true energy and return it to itself. When killing people, it can also devour the blood and soul of the deceased. Just by relying on this sword, his strength has increased by at least several levels. The only drawback is that this demon sword is too ferocious and will devour its owner if fed too much. Zuo Qiu put down his knife, leaned out of the car window, and shouted, "Master Si, come here." A figure jumped out from a slightly smaller carriage at the back and got into Zuoqiu's carriage. "Venerable, what can I do for you?" Si Zhiyu looked respectful. He had witnessed Zuo Qiu's cruelty in recent days. Compared with Zuo Qiu, what the Red Dragon Cult did in the past was nothing. That was tens of thousands of people, and almost all of them were killed by him alone. The scene of them being covered in blood and looking like a demon is still chilling to think about now.
"Where are we going?" "We are already on Qingyun Road. Another thousand or so miles away, we will reach Kyoto." The territory of the Daqian Dynasty, except for the 800-li area around the capital, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Fengtian City, was divided into 12 regions, each of which was governed by a governor. Each region was divided into three states and six counties, covering tens of millions of square kilometers. Once we get here, we are not far from Kyoto. "Then speed up a bit." "My Lord, should we go to Beiquan Mountain first or the Demon Suppression Division headquarters?" "Where is closer?" "It should be Beiquan Mountain. The Dayu Mountain where the Demon Suppression Division is located is near the imperial capital." Zuo Qiu grinned and said, "Then let's go to Beiquan Mountain first. I heard there are masters above the Grandmaster level there. Let's go there first and offer sacrifices to see what level of Holy Demon Pill we can get. Since the Demon Suppression Division is near Fengtian City, I think all the masters of Daqian Country have gathered here, so the good show will naturally be left for the end!" "As ordered!" Si Zhiyu walked out of the car and said loudly: "Don't dawdle, speed up, we need to be outside Beiquan Mountain tomorrow morning." They were all riding horned dragon horses that were snatched from Nanyan Road. They could travel thousands of miles a day. At the command, the whips were waved, and clouds of dust were raised on the official road. As soon as we accelerated here, birds took off into the sky several miles away, sending a message to the royal capital. Zuo Qiu saw it, sneered, and didn't take it seriously. …… Three hours later, in Chengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace. Emperor Li Haotian sat at the top. Xu Lianying stood aside.
Sword Saint Qin Wuya, Emperor Xuanqing of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Prince Qing, General Chen Ao, the four commanders of the imperial guards, General Lai Tianfeng of the Demon Suppression Division, and Acting Lord of Tiance Mansion - Zuo Songhe, who ranks first among the Twelve Sky Constables, all sat on his left and right. The dozen or so people here are the top masters of the Daqian Dynasty, and each of them is above the ninth level of Zhenwu. "I have just received a message that the people from the Red Dragon Cult are already in the Shangyu City area of Qingyun Road. They have quickened their pace and are heading straight for the royal capital. It is expected that they will be at the gates of the city tomorrow. You are all important officials in the court. Tell me, how should we respond next?" Obviously, everyone present had received the news, and everyone's face was very solemn. "Your Majesty, it can be seen that the main purpose of the Red Dragon Cult's trip should be the two seals of the Demon Realm near our royal capital. In Dayu Mountain, the Xuantian Sect's formation master had already arrived the day before yesterday and had set up a large formation with nine grandmaster secret weapons. Even those above the grandmaster level may be able to fight. The only worry is that the people in the Red Dragon Cult are proficient in the secret art of dormant dragons. If they sneak into the formation and use the decapitation technique, it will disrupt the military formation." Demon General Lai Tianfeng said in a deep voice. Li Haotian looked at Master Xuanqing. "Master, you are proficient in the art of seeing qi, and your black pupil can break the method of hiding. Can you go to Dayu Mountain to help?" Xuan Qing Zhenren, with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in Taoist attire, stood up and bowed with one hand, saying: "The Red Dragon Sect's evildoers must be punished by the whole world. Although I am an outsider, I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter." Li Haotian looked at Qin Wuya again and said, "Old Qin, why don't you stay with the real person and stay in Dayu Mountain? It is said that the leader of the Red Dragon Sect is also a master." Qin Wuya was dressed in blue, dressed like a scholar. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has given the order, so I will obey. However, if I leave with Brother Xuanqing at the same time, Your Majesty's safety in this capital..." For a long time, two out of the three great masters of the imperial capital lived in the royal capital. Even if the situation was critical, there was at least one person stationed around the imperial palace. The emperor was responsible for the safety of the country. If something happened, the whole Daqian would certainly be shocked. "It's okay. I have my own plan. The seal of the Demon Realm of Dayu Mountain is different from that of other places. If there is a problem, it will be a disaster for the people of Daqian, so it must be foolproof!" At this point, he looked at General Chen Ao and said, "General Chen, you lead the Longxiang Army and Huben Guards, and take our Daqian ancestral weapon Qianlong Tiandao to the north gate of Fengtian City to form a pincer attack with Dayu Mountain. Tiance Mansion coordinates the sect masters who have come to assist, and they are also on standby at the north gate and Dayu Mountain." As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people in the hall changed. "Your Majesty, the Qianlong Heavenly Sword is the national treasure of our Daqian. The safety of the imperial palace depends on it. This must not be allowed." Chen Ao stood up and said. Li Haotian said: "The Red Dragon Sect's Zuo Qiu is above the Grandmaster, so he should be cautious in everything. This can be seen from the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Goose Sect who were massacred by him. My uncle and I have already discussed this, and you all just need to obey his orders." Everyone looked at Prince Qing. Prince Qing smiled and said, "You all just need to follow His Majesty's orders. His Majesty has his own plans." After hearing Prince Qing's words, the generals felt relieved and Chen Ao sat down. "The current issue is Beiquan Mountain. What do you think we should do about it?" Speaking of this place, everyone present fell silent again. It is not like Dayu Mountain. It is more than 600 miles away from the royal capital. It will take a while to get help. And the Red Dragon Cult at the moment cannot be dealt with by just a few ordinary masters or a large army. "Your Majesty, isn't there an expert above the Grandmaster level on Beiquan Mountain? Could you please ask him to guard it for you?" Zhang Ji, the commander of the Divine Eagle Guard, stood up and bowed. The rest of the people all looked at Li Haotian. They were very curious about this master from Beiquan Mountain. However, everyone in the court and the country knew that the emperor didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't dare to ask more. Li Haotian glanced at the people in the hall, thinking that it was beyond his ability to deal with the Red Dragon Cult with these people, so he said calmly: "Forget it, I will make other plans for Beiquan Mountain. If you have nothing else to do, go back and prepare for the battle." Everyone left, and after a while, only Li Haotian, Prince Qing and Xu Lianying were left in the hall. "Uncle Wang, has the royal grandfather agreed?" "Before I came here, I had already informed Third Uncle of the news, and he agreed to go to Beiquan Mountain to take a look. However, Zuo Qiu's background and strength are unknown, and even Third Uncle is not sure." "We must act according to circumstances. Let the royal grandfather be more careful and put his own safety first." Li Haotian reminded again and again.
"Where is Master Gu? If anything happens to him, the princess and the little prince will probably blame you when they find out about it." Li Haotian's expression became slightly gloomy when he heard this. Even though he knew that Gu Yuanqing or there were experts behind Gu Yuanqing, and he had shown favors to him many times, he could not help but have some resentment in his heart. After a long while, he said calmly, "Big Buddy, send a letter to Beiquan Mountain and have someone inform Gu Yuanqing about the situation of the Red Dragon Cult. It's up to him whether he wants to leave or stay, or fight with them." Please vote~~ (End of this chapter)
