The queen must start from the head

Chapter 36
"My lord! My lord! Something is wrong!"

In the study of the Tianhai City Prefect's Mansion, Yan Tao was discussing the disappearance of people in the city with his confidant He Yuanzhi. Xue Tong, the leader of the city guard, suddenly ran in from outside, shouting as he walked.

Yan Tao frowned, this Xue Tong always knew how to measure, why did he start yelling today?
Fortunately, Xue Tong still knew a little bit about propriety. He stopped at the door of the study, did not step directly in, and said directly, "Sir, you asked me to send someone to keep an eye on the Wushuang faction in the world. Guards just came to report that someone is besieging them. The unparalleled sect in the world!"

What?Yan Tao immediately put down the pen in his hand and called Xue Tong in to speak.

"Have you ever found out who are the people here?"

"The humble official doesn't know the origin of these people. There are dozens of them, and everyone is dressed in black and masked. It is almost sunset. If the adults want to send someone to rescue them, it is best to go up the mountain before dark. "

Yan Tao frowned even tighter, "Did I ever say that I would send someone to rescue the Wushuang faction?"

"My lord...", Xue Tong didn't expect the other party to say such words, and was stunned for a moment.

He still clearly remembers that when he was taking a bath in the bathhouse of the Wushuang sect, he met the prefect who praised everything in this sect at that time.Later, he directly asked him to send someone to watch this sect, saying that if there was any situation, he would report to him immediately, why now...

He Yuanzhi, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, "Sir, do you still remember your initial evaluation of Mu Lian? This woman is definitely not a creature in the pond. She will turn into a dragon when encountering a storm. Matters in the Imperial Capital Although it is complicated and we cannot get involved at all, who will win, and who can know the outcome until the last moment? Tianhai City is our true foundation, and the Unparalleled Faction under Heaven may be our last hope."

Hearing this, Yan Tao's eyes suddenly darkened.

In fact, he has already received several important letters from the imperial city today.Every letter said that Mu Lian had committed a crime of treason and injustice, and could only apologize with death, and could not leave the imperial city alive.The letter also asked him to clean up the Wushuang faction in Luohuang Mountain in the name of eliminating Mu Lian's remnants.

However, he did not take action. Unless he was sure that Mu Lian was dead, he would not lead his troops up the mountain.

But He Yuanzhi's words reminded him of things he didn't want to think of.

Even if Mu Lian died, even if Yan Tao destroyed the Wushuang faction, so what?

His Tianhai City was predicted by Master Xinghe to be doomed. Is there even one of those people who is willing to extend his hand to help these hundreds of thousands of innocent people?No!not a single one!This group of people is a group of greedy and bloodthirsty wolves, and the reason why they still write to him now is nothing more than to squeeze out his last remaining value!Sooner or later, he will die, why should he work for these people?
He Yuanzhi was right.

Mu Lian is an unusual woman, and she values ​​love and righteousness even more. If he can help Luohuang Mountain today, Luohuang Mountain may be his last straw when the sky fire comes to destroy Tianhai City in the future !

Yan Tao was struggling in his own thoughts, and the time was passing by every minute.

He Yuanzhi didn't continue to say any more, the main point of the talk was over, which side the prefect would stand on, he still had to make his own decision in the end.

Finally, Yan Tao took a deep breath and made his choice.

"Xue Tong, I order you to lead 3000 troops to Luohuang Mountain immediately, and make sure to protect everyone in the Wushuang faction. If anyone dares to behave wildly there, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Xue Tong was overjoyed, and immediately took the order to retreat.To be honest, he actually likes Tianxia Wushuang faction from the bottom of his heart, because he always has a hunch that sooner or later, one day, Tianhai City will become famous all over the world because of this faction!
After Xue Tong stepped back, Yan Tao moved his steps, walked to the seat, and sat down heavily.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think if I choose the wrong one?"

"Sir, do you think there will be a worse situation than now? The sky is going to destroy my Tianhai City, shouldn't we be allowed to risk everything?"

Yan Tao nodded and said no more words.

He looked up at the fiery red clouds in the sky ahead, not knowing what Mu Lian's current situation was in the Imperial City.Mu Lian, I have put my life and fortune and the hopes of the whole city on you. You must win!

……

In the imperial city, it was already dark.

In the palace, the king of Northern Qi was having dinner at the queen's place tonight. He was eating exquisite food but felt that it was all tasteless.

At this time, it has been more than an hour since he ordered Pang Da to lead five thousand black armor troops to seal up Sancai Bookstore, but he has not received any reply. For some reason, he is always a little uneasy.

At the dinner table, the queen looked at her husband's face, and was considering how to intercede for Concubine Xian, when suddenly there was an urgent call from outside the door.

The monarch frowned, finally came the news!

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the sergeant of the Black Armored Army who bowed his head respectfully in front of him with a smile on his face, "Tell me, how is the situation? Why didn't Pang Da come back to report in person?"

"Return...Report to the monarch, the people we sent have already been wiped out!" The sergeant of the black armor army was trembling all over while speaking, and his head was smashed to the ground, not daring to lift it up.

The smile on the monarch's face gradually froze, "What happened? Tell me in detail, without missing a single thing!"

The sergeant forcibly suppressed his body, which was still shaking due to fear, and told the story of what happened.

He remembered the whole thing very clearly.The woman named Mu Lian, who was wearing a white robe, just waved her sleeves, and hundreds of people fell one after another. The scene was like the rice grains facing the sickle during the autumn harvest without any resistance. Power.At that time, there were countless hidden weapons shooting at her from hidden places, but she turned them back with a snap of her fingers, and then there were continuous screams from the surrounding alleys.

When he found that everyone around him had fallen, and even Master Pangda, the commander of the imperial army, had died under the sword of a woman in a silver dress, the black-armored army flag he was carrying suddenly fell down.

After the military flag fell, he knelt on the ground and wanted to beg for mercy, but was so scared that he couldn't even speak.

He could feel that woman who was extremely terrifying in his eyes was looking at him, and she seemed to be talking to herself at that time, "There is still a minor, forget it, read it in your hands and let him go." A horse is ready... ".

"Little guy, you are lucky to be able to go back alive to convey my words to your Majesty the King. Please help me tell him that any losses caused to my bookshop and my sect because of him, he will It must be repaid twice as much!”

"Double repayment?! Did she really say that?"

The monarch was so angry that his face turned red. An ordinary civilian woman dared to speak to him in such a tone. Who did she think she was?After killing his commander of the imperial army and thousands of black-armored troops, did she think she could still walk out of the imperial city alive?If you don't come to the palace to kneel down and beg for his forgiveness, you actually dare to go the extra mile and bargain with him. You really don't know how to live or die!
"Yes, yes, that's what she said."

The monarch looked at the stammering sergeant in front of him, and became angry again. He picked up the wine bottle beside the table and smashed it on the latter's head, shouting angrily, "Get out!"

After the sergeant retreated, the monarch stood up straight away, kicked over the dining table, and cursed loudly.

At this time, the face of the queen who was sitting at the table was pale with fright. According to her understanding of the king, the king was really angry at this time. She must not mention the matter of Concubine Xian now.

After the monarch cursed for a long time, the anger in his heart finally dissipated. He summoned the chamberlain outside the palace and ordered, "Immediately send someone to invite Prime Minister Bi and General Wu to enter the palace. I have urgent matters to discuss with them. Hurry up." go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant took the order, turned around and retreated, and hurried on his way in the palace.

This night was destined not to be a peaceful night for the king.
