The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 830 Fall of the Imperial City
At the same time, Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Palace, where hundreds of officials once gathered, is now empty and deserted, and even most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace have left.

Today, apart from Ji Lingyue, the Great Zhou Saint, there are only two gray-haired old eunuchs and a young monk in the huge palace.

The empress looked calm, as if everything that happened outside the imperial city had nothing to do with her.

The two eunuchs looked a little nervous, and they looked out of the palace from time to time, with a touch of uneasiness in their eyes.The little monk clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, with an undisguised panic and fear on his face.

"Report, the imperial guards at the east city gate have been wiped out, and the city gate has been breached by the rebels." At this moment, a hurried voice broke the silence of Lingxiao Palace.

quiet!
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly sank, fine cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two old eunuchs, and their bodies trembled slightly, showing panic.

"Have the rebels entered the imperial city?" The empress raised her eyes slightly and her voice was calm.

The person who came showed hesitation, paused for a few breaths before continuing: "Here, the rebels have not yet entered the imperial city. Commander Kou went to support, and now he is defending the east gate with his own strength, temporarily blocking the rebels' attack It's just...it's just that the commander's injuries from the past few days have not healed yet, and the enemy army is full of strong Xuxians, I'm afraid the East City Gate will not be able to defend for long."

Commander Kou!
When the empress heard this, her pupils couldn't help constricting, and her phoenix eyes were as terrifying as ancient gods and beasts.

"Oh!"

The empress slapped her face on the armrest of the dragon chair, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, didn't I already demote him to a commoner, why, why."

When the empress said this, she suddenly slumped on the dragon chair powerlessly, and said bitterly with her eyes slightly closed: "I should have known earlier that he wouldn't just leave like that. He has been so stupid since he was a child, so stupid. He is so stupid every day. Xidi stood by my side and never complained."

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, there was a dead silence, only the Empress's murmur echoed in the palace.

"He shouldn't stay and be buried with me, and with Da Zhou."

The empress closed her eyes slightly, her face was a little more melancholy, and she clasped the armrests of the dragon chair tightly with both hands.She has burdened too many people in her life, but there is only one person that she can never forget.

She has always understood Kou Tianen's feelings for her.

If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't disappeared and she hadn't become the current Great Zhou Sage, the two of them might have already married and become the envied fairy couple.It's a pity that the situation in the world is changing so fast that no one can react to it.

Not long after she ascended the throne, the world was already in chaos, and all the heavens and peoples raised the banner of opposing Zhou and cutting heaven.And the Great Zhou Heavenly Court, which once shook the world for hundreds of thousands of years, collapsed at a speed beyond everyone's imagination after losing a large number of elites.

First, they completely lost contact with the Starry Sky Expeditionary Force, and then the star fields in the Star Sea that were finally conquered fell one after another.

In the end, the eighteen anti-kings marched together, broke through the impenetrable defense lines of Da Zhou in a short period of time, and even broke the Chang'an city they had operated for hundreds of thousands of years!

Seeing that the building was about to collapse, the Empress already knew her end.

She is the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Zhou. There has never been a Great Zhou Heavenly Emperor who fled without a fight in this world, and there will never be a Great Zhou Heavenly Emperor who escaped.She already has the heart to die, and she has the consciousness of dying.

It's just that although the empress was ready to live and die with Da Zhou, she didn't want Kou Tianen to be buried with Da Zhou too.Therefore, yesterday when Kou Tianen proposed to retreat to Luoyang and invite the princes from all walks of life to serve the king, she resolutely reprimanded him and removed Kou Tianen from all positions.

Of course, apart from selfishness, the reason why the empress refused Kou Tianen's request was because she knew that the princes could no longer trust her.If the princes are really willing to die for the Great Zhou, how can the anti-kings break through the Kyushu defense line in a short period of time, and easily kill Chang'an! ?

People's hearts, as early as when the Emperor of Heaven disappeared, had already dispersed!
It's just that the empress thought that if Kou Tianen was removed from his position and expelled from the imperial city, the other party would leave obediently.Unexpectedly, not only did Kou Tianen not go out of the city, but turned back again, and even guarded the east gate that should have collapsed with his own strength.

"Emperor Heaven, the west gate can no longer be guarded." Just as the empress was deep in thought, a middle-aged monk with a tired face walked in.His body was covered with blood, and his white robes had been stained blood red, and more blood dripped to the ground as he walked.

"Is the west city gate also lost?" the empress came back to her senses, looked at the middle-aged monk calmly, and said indifferently.

"The old Taoist Shang Feng and Mrs. Xu Yan at the south gate have fallen one after another, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on there for too long. The east gate is where our defense line is weakest, and I'm afraid it has already fallen." The middle-aged monk shook his head slightly, clasped his hands together Sang the Buddha's name.

"Commander Kou turned back, and now he is guarding the east gate with his own strength." The female emperor held her forehead with her hand, her voice was a little more melancholy and dignified.

Commander Kou!
The middle-aged monk froze for a moment, frowned and said nothing.

The matter between the empress and Kou Tianen is no secret at all.In the early years, the two were well-known golden boys and girls in Da Zhou.It's just that the situation in the world is changing too fast, and the former princess is now an unattainable emperor.

The empress suddenly looked sideways at the little monk, with a slight smile on her face, and asked, "Little guy, are you scared?"

"Mongsheng, no, I'm not afraid." The little monk held his head high, trying to show that he was not afraid.But those tear-filled eyes, as well as the choked voice, all betrayed his fear.

"No, you need to be afraid. How can you not be afraid that the heaven and earth will fall in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am also afraid, and I am also afraid." Subtle bitterness.

"Will the Emperor of Heaven also be afraid?" Cang Sheng asked curiously, the tears in his eyes stopped when he heard the words.

"The Emperor of Heaven is also a human being, so why isn't he afraid? Just remember that we can be afraid, we can be afraid, but we must never shrink back. The hope of the Great Zhou, the hope of the human race, will never disappear with the disappearance of anyone." The Empress took a deep breath, and slowly walked out of the Lingxiao Palace.

"Show me the ride, go to the east gate." Before walking out of Lingxiao Palace, the Empress said calmly.

The common people looked at the empress's firm steps with a little cuteness, and the slightly thin back, but it felt like a mountain supporting the world, majestic and immortal!

Now he doesn't understand what the empress's words mean, nor what the other party wants to do, but he deeply remembers everything today.

"Cangsheng, stay in Lingxiao Palace, no matter what happens outside, don't go out."

The middle-aged monk followed the empress, and when he was about to step out of the main hall, he turned his head and made Buddhist rituals to the young monk, and said solemnly: "Remember, killing is to save life, slaughtering is to save the world, and one can become a Buddha with a clear conscience. Master If you don’t come back from this trip, you will be the new abbot of my Daxiangguo Temple.”

After the middle-aged monk finished speaking, he ignored the bewildered expression of the young monk and followed the empress firmly to the east gate.

Even if he knew, there was absolutely no reason to survive this trip!
In other words, all those who stayed behind to guard the imperial city and never left are already ready to fall.

They know they can't do it!
