Chapter 53: The altar, the imperial guards of the clothing department come out (please order first!!)

Following Kong Qi’s chanting, Jinli slowly climbed onto the altar.

It should have been a national sacrifice, but only the Minister of Rites performed the ceremony. How sad.

Aunt Qin and Duke Yu were standing in the audience. They looked at Jinli on the stage, with a strong sense of powerlessness flashing in their eyes.

Jinli went up to the altar and prayed for the army of gods to come, but it was nothing but a mirage, like a dream and a bubble.

They were powerless to do anything about it.

Some civil and military officials beside Sima Ting looked at Jinli as if they were watching a show.

In particular, some officials who knew the origin of the altar mocked it, while others were secretly sad, thinking that the empress was at her wit's end.

What a pity, Empress Jinli was so beautiful but had a tragic fate. She would eventually be buried with the empire.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Queen Jinli slowly stepped onto the altar.

This time, she walked steadily.

She had all kinds of emotions in her heart.

The most common concern among them is the concern for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan hadn't replied to her message for four days.

But at this moment, important matters were at stake and there was no point in getting anxious, so she put aside her other emotions and performed the sacrifice according to the steps Qi Yuan had said.

She held a long, flat jade sceptre in her hand, with a pious expression on her face.

When Queen Jinli climbed two-thirds of the way up the stairs, Kong Qi prostrated himself on the ground, curled up, and burst into tears.

This was the most frustrating ceremony he had ever presided over.

It's even more frustrating than when the Queen ascended the throne.

And this time, it was probably his last gift, and also the last gift for the Nanqian Kingdom.

Like the empress, he will become a few words in history books, leaving no trace.

Sima Riyue sat among the officials, with his legs spread out, not sitting properly. He pointed at the altar and said, "What do you think? If Her Majesty jumps off the altar, will it be the last?"

The last empress of the empire leaped from the altar, which may become her last act for all eternity.

All the officials remained silent and no one answered him.

Instead, the demon king opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth: "I hope she doesn't fall headfirst, or my beautiful wine vessel will break."

As he spoke, he drank by himself.

However, his way of drinking was a little strange. He would bite the cup into pieces and swallow it.

This strange behavior also attracted a lot of people's attention.

Sima Riyue watched the demon king swallow the wine cup, then glanced at the beautiful head of Queen Jinli with her cloud-like hair, and a sense of fear inexplicably surged in his heart.

He knew that the unusual man in front of him seemed to be from the Tianyun Holy Sect. He couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency has a unique taste. You are indeed an elegant person."

The demon king picked up the wine and poured a glass for Sima Riyue, and the two of them drank.

As for the empress on the altar? Who would pay attention to her? Empress Jinli climbed onto the altar.

On the two-meter-high altar, she raised the jade sceptre in her left hand and threw a jade ring into the burnt stone basin with her right hand. The jade ring immediately broke into pieces.

Queen Jinli's voice is as clear as a mountain spring and as majestic as the roar of a tripod.

"God has come to me with pity for my thoughts, and has pity for my thoughts and holds up the jade sceptre!"

The sound rose and the flames jumped.

"I am in a state of panic, and I ask God for comfort."

"The glorious heavens are shining down upon us!"

…

There are not many words in the summoning ceremony, and part of them are given by Kong Qi.

Among them, the most important thing in the ceremony was the gift from Qi Yuan.

It is also very short, with only two sentences in total.

Jinli recited the first sentence carefully.

For the last sentence, you don’t need to recite it, just think about it in your heart.

"The head of the Yi Department, Qi Yuan, has issued an order. The Yi Department's imperial guards must obey!"

After these words were spoken, the sun in the sky was still the same sun.

The civil and military officials below still looked bored, and no one really took this sacrifice seriously!

Duke Yu seemed to have anticipated this scene, and the only glimmer of hope in his eyes had disappeared.

Aunt Qin looked at Jinli and recalled everything that happened in Xuanyuan Forbidden City. She still had a trace of thoughts in her mind.

The altar could not summon the legendary Yibu Imperial Guards, but what if the mysterious and powerful Qi Yuan, who was comparable to the Supreme Emperor, came? With his fighting power, he might not be able to compete with the combined forces of the demon emperors. The formation outside was not something that a Supreme Emperor could break, but he was able to take Queen Jinli out.

This is the best ending.

Originally, Jinli became the empress under duress, and she was not suitable to be the empress.

Then, the Nanqian Kingdom will finally be established and the emperor will survive.

Kong Qi was crawling on the ground, his eyes were sore, and his face showed no sadness or joy.

But at this moment, Jinli felt as if she had some more connection with something.

She felt that as long as she thought about it, the Yibu Imperial Guards that Qi Yuan mentioned would appear immediately.

She had almost unconditional faith in Qi Yuan.

She did not recite the last sentence immediately, but looked at the civil and military officials in the court below the altar.

Jin Li's voice was cold and filled with anger: "Sima Ting, I want to ask you, is there a Soul Burial Banner Formation outside the Imperial City? You colluded with the demons and set up this town outside the city. Do you want to put all the people of Nanqian in a place of no return?"

Jinli's cultivation was not very high, and her voice was like spring thunder, echoing throughout the place.

Many civil and military officials on the field were moved, and many felt that this was the last dying struggle of Queen Jinli!

Some of them secretly looked at Sima Ting, waiting for his answer.

Sima Ting stood up. His already tall stature made him stand out even more. Facing the questioning of Empress Jinli, he was calm and said, "Your Majesty, why are you making trouble?

Do you think this little trick can affect the overall situation? As an emperor, you must act in an upright manner and defeat evil with justice.

"Devilish tricks are not the way of an emperor! Your Majesty, you are a woman's hand, you are indecisive, weak-minded and lack of strategy, you are not worthy of being a king."

"I just want to ask you, is there a soul-burying banner formation outside the city?" Jinli asked again.

All the civil and military officials present felt relieved when they heard the answer from Prime Minister Sima Ting.

Nanqian belongs to the Prime Minister, so how could the Prime Minister dig his own grave and collude with the demons to bury his own foundation? Sima Riyue, who was standing by, could no longer bear to watch. He stood up and shouted proudly, "Empress Jinli, you are too boring. I was thinking, I will see you use the altar to summon the so-called army of the gods to kill us one by one!"

Sima Riyue's words caused a burst of laughter.

Almost everyone did not take the queen seriously.

Nan Qianguo's surname was Sima as early as twenty years ago.

Jinli remained unmoved, her face dignified: "Is there any formation outside the city?"

After three consecutive questionings, many officials felt that Empress Jinli had run out of tricks.

Many people laughed secretly, while others felt that it was tragic and lamentable that Empress Jinli was so beautiful but had such a tragic life.

At this moment, the demon king who had been drinking unexpectedly said, "Beautiful Jinli, you are right. Right now, outside the imperial city, there is a soul-burying banner formation set up by my demon clan!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Prime Minister?"

"Who is this person? The Soul Burial in the Banner Formation is actually real!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and then became terrified.

The demon king had a ferocious smile on his face: "Sima Ting, is what I said true?"

Seeing this, Sima Ting said with a look of neither sadness nor joy: "Yes."

All the civil and military officials were horrified at this moment, and there was a commotion on the field.

However, at this moment, the demon king suddenly shouted: "A bunch of trash!"

As soon as he made a move, the power of an emperor-level strong man surged, and with a wave of light, dozens of officials died at his hands.

There was a cruel smile in the demon king's eyes.

A little more messy, a little more messy.

He took action and killed hundreds of officials from Sima Ting's camp.

At this moment, most of these officials fell in a pool of blood, looking extremely miserable.

Looking at the chaos, the demon king smiled happily.

The more chaotic and bloody the imperial city is, the stronger the Bloodless Imperial Scepter will be.

After killing a lot of officials, he set his sights on Aunt Qin who was guarding the altar, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Even Aunt Qin in her prime was no match for him, not to mention that she is injured now.

"Wine vessel, here I come!"

As the demon king spoke, his body suddenly grew larger and in an instant he was three feet tall, taller than the altar.

Facing an emperor-level strongman, he still showed respect.

The ferocious beast looked at the world in a mocking manner.

Aunt Qin jumped out upon seeing this, and her thin body blocked the altar.

But at this moment, Aunt Qin heard the solemn and serious recitation of Empress Jinli.

"All troops, listen to my orders, kill!"

And with this chanting, something happened that almost no one expected.

Above the altar, a large cluster of black clouds suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky.

Thick black clouds gathered together.

The entire imperial city suddenly became dark at this moment.

A solemn, mysterious and profound atmosphere permeates the air.

Everyone present was terrified. They seemed to hear the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and also seemed to hear the gods reviving.

"What's wrong?" For the first time, the demon king's face showed emotion.

Several demon kings outside the capital also showed astonishment.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the sky.

"Follow the order of Qi Yuan, the leader of the clothing department!"

"Summoned by Queen Jinli of Nanqian!"

"The four divisions of the Divine Court and the Imperial Guards of the Clothing Department, wipe out the evildoers!"

As soon as the words came out, a bright ray of sunlight shone through the thick black clouds.

It's dawn.

It was dark again in an instant.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a huge army appearing near the altar.

Wearing black armor and black clothes, holding a golden spear, he stood in the air.

They gathered around Queen Jinli, and in the front were ten powerful men emitting a terrifying aura, all wearing black armor.

No one said anything, but there was endless pressure.

They seemed like an army of demons walking across the long river of history and crawling out of hell.

They did not look at the people below, as if they were too disdainful to look, but everyone felt the unbearable pressure.

At this moment, the Yibu Imperial Guards formed a military formation, holding spears and swords, announcing their arrival to the world.

When Duke Yu saw this scene, his eyes widened.

"The Four Divine Court Divisions... The Imperial Guards of the Clothing Division, actually came!"

The great sage Kong Qi, who was prostrating himself on the ground, was also completely stunned and cried with joy: "God bless Nan Qian, God bless our emperor!"

Aunt Qin was also shocked: "It's all true. The head of the clothing department? Qi Yuan?"

After so many tens of thousands of years, is there still a divine court and a clothing department in this world?

Yes! At this time, the silent and eerie Imperial Guards finally moved. A Imperial Guard in wedding dress and red armor flew silently in front of Queen Jinli. Her voice was mechanical.

"My Lord brought two words."

"The master said that he wanted to say something earthy and sweet. With him here, no one in the world can touch you."

"The master also said..."

Hearing these two sentences, a firm look flashed in Jinli's eyes. She raised her head and looked towards the ancient Qichun tree at the center of the world, her eyes twinkling like stars.
