Chapter 955: Clouds Cover the Sun and Swallows Return to Their Nests (V)
"Your Majesty! Let's go!!"
The Meridian Gate.
There were crowds of people and weapons were drawn everywhere.
The city walls were already filled with imperial guards in three layers, waiting in a stern manner. On the walls, there were more than a dozen masters in different attire standing in front of Jing Guoqing.
An old eunuch knelt at the latter's feet and pleaded in a hurried tone:
"Your Majesty! The rebels are coming. You must not take any risks now!"
"That Wei Yanluo showed up here so openly, hoping to use the people of this city to keep you here! You must not fall into his trap!"
"Your Majesty! Just listen to my advice! Let's go!!"
“.”
The slightly sharp pleading sound was heart-wrenching. The old eunuch crawled over and hugged Jing Guoqing's legs while wailing, his expression extremely embarrassed and anxious.
In fact, what the old eunuch said was right.
At this time, most people standing on the city wall could see what Wei Changtian’s real purpose was.
After all, if the intention was just to assassinate, there would be no reason for the latter to be so "hesitant".
Therefore, the reason why Wei Changtian was not in a hurry was undoubtedly to let all the people see his identity clearly and see how he confidently fought his way to the Meridian Gate step by step amidst the thousands of troops . Obviously, Wei Changtian did this not for "showing off".
He wanted to use this to force Jing Guoqing to stay.
You know, Jing Guoqing's purpose of climbing the Meridian Gate today was to boost morale for the upcoming war.
And now he appeared alone in the city as a "rebel leader". If Jing Guoqing was frightened and turned around and ran away, it would be fine if the people didn't know about it.
But if such a cowardly act was performed in public, one can imagine how the people of Daqian would feel.
It seems that your own court and your own emperor can't even deal with Wei Yanluo? You ran away as soon as he showed up?
What was the point of fighting this war? What was the chance of winning? There was no doubt that if Jing Guoqing escaped at this moment, no matter how he tried to remedy the situation later, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to the confidence of more than one million soldiers and civilians in the capital.
This was certainly something Jing Guoqing could not bear.
But if I don't run away. "."
Jing Guoqing's face was gloomy to the extreme as he stared at the figure not far away who was surrounded by countless long swords and who would take several lives with every step he took.
one person.
Wei Changtian was alone . His hands were tightly clenched in his sleeves. Jing Guoqing said nothing, struggling in his heart.
He didn't know whether Wei Changtian really wanted to kill him or was just bluffing.
After all, both make sense.
But you have to know that the responses you should take in these two situations are completely different.
If it is the former, then no matter how damaged the military and public opinion are, he will definitely flee.
But if it was the latter, if Wei Changtian was actually unable to kill him, he just wanted to use his fear to play an "empty city plan". He didn't care about the imperial guards who were still dying under the city, nor did he care about the old eunuch who was begging beside him.
Jing Guoqing slowly closed his eyes and slowly loosened the fists in his sleeves.
As the king of a country, he quickly forced himself to calm down and quickly went through all the details in his mind.
Then at a certain moment, Jing Guoqing seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden. He suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward amid tens of thousands of gazes, and shouted angrily, word by word: "All soldiers, listen to my orders!!"
"Whoever kills this thief will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and made a king of a different surname!"
"I'll watch from here!"
“Never take a step back!!”
“.”
It was like a dragon's roar from the sky, and also like a shot of adrenaline.
When Jing Guoqing shouted these words amid the old eunuch's desperate wails and in the shocked gazes of countless people, the imperial guards who were besieging Wei Changtian under the city wall all blushed in an instant, and a strong desire to fight suddenly rose in their hearts.
All this was not because of the phrase "a reward of ten thousand taels of gold and a title of king of a different surname", but because of the tough attitude expressed in Jing Guoqing's words.
No one is willing to work for a monarch who is afraid of death.
But now, since Jing Guoqing has already said "I will never retreat even a single step", they are naturally willing to fight to the death for this.
"kill!!!"
"Long live His Majesty!!!"
“Kill!!!”
The roars were several times louder than before. There was no need for officers to supervise the battle anymore. The golden-armored guards rushed towards Wei Changtian one after another with red eyes like crazy, as if they were completely different people from before.
The people in the shops along the street seemed to have suddenly come back to their senses from their fear, and shouts of "Kill the thief" and "Kill him" echoed throughout the capital.
There were even many warriors who rushed out of the shops and spontaneously joined the team to besiege and kill Wei Changtian.
For a moment, the number of people on the street was more than twice as much as before. Although the scene was chaotic, it made every Daqian person who witnessed it feel his blood boiling.
Ever since Wei Changtian arrived in Linchuan, the entire Daqian seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
But now, with Jing Guoqing's words, this haze disappeared, and was replaced by genuine excitement and pleasure.
It can be said that since the failure of the Xinfeng Battle, the people of Daqian have never been as united as they are now.
At this moment, everyone wanted to cut Wei Changtian into pieces. Anyone with a little bit of cultivation had already run to the streets. Looking down from the sky, they looked like a dense swarm of ants.
However, Wei Changtian, who was in the center of the "ant colony", did not show any panic. Instead, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I guessed right.
Jing Guoqing did not escape.
In fact, Wei Changtian had already made such a judgment before walking out of the teahouse.
It’s not that he knows Jing Guoqing very well, he just thinks that the latter must think that he doesn’t dare to fight to the death.
After all, there is also the matter of the Son of Heaven . Because he was afraid of being "taken advantage of by others", he was just bluffing. Jing Guoqing would definitely make such a judgment, and then determine that his murder was fake and his heart-breaking was real.
Little did he know that what he was going to do was "kill the person first and then destroy his heart."
Humph. With a sneer, the sword formation around him suddenly spread outwards, and the range of several feet before increased to more than ten feet in an instant. The lives taken away with each breath also increased from a dozen to hundreds.
At the same time, Wei Changtian's pace began to gradually speed up and was no longer as slow as before.
Since Jing Guoqing has already expressed his position, there is no need for me to waste any more time.
"boom!!!"
The next moment, under the dazed gazes of countless people, a ghost-faced red snake several dozen feet long suddenly appeared above the crowd, casting a huge shadow that covered the sky and the sun.
A fishy wind suddenly arose, and a gloomy aura spread in all directions.
As Wei Changtian's most powerful divine beast, Zhulong's strength has basically reached the quasi-first grade.
Coupled with its eerie and terrifying appearance, it instantly gives people a terrifying feeling as if they were falling into purgatory.
"What is this?"
It was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads. Looking at the ferocious Zhulong above their heads, the blood of the people on the street turned cold.
But Wei Changtian would not stop just because they were scared, nor would he show any mercy or softness.
He just waved his hand, and the Candle Dragon dragged its long snake body and slammed into the crowd from the air, instantly turning countless people into a ball of blood mist and flesh.
"ah!!!"
"A monster!!!"
Heart-wrenching wails were heard everywhere. There was no longer any "clean land" on the long street. Every corner was covered with blood and flesh.
This scene was undoubtedly extremely bloody.
But Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to everything and was too lazy to even take a look.
He just waited for Zhulong to pass by him, then suddenly turned over and jumped onto the snake's head, and then used three thousand long swords to clear a path, like a real Yama, and rushed straight towards the Meridian Gate not far away.
