Chapter 553 Another Bright Moon (3K big chapter)
Not long after His Highness the Prince left with Shen Hao, a wisp of green smoke that disappeared to an unknown place emerged from the darkness and fell into Bai Xuan's body again. , Bai Xuan spit out a mouthful of black blood and stood up slowly.
As soon as they came together, she hurried to check on Zhang Yuanzheng's condition.
However, Zhang Chunxue's spine had been broken, and his whole body seemed to have lost its support, falling as soft as a flesh bag.
"Master Zhang!" Bai Xuan sobbed and fed Zhang Chunxue a small returning pill.
Zhang Chunxue took the elixir and his condition improved slightly, but he still leaned over and closed his eyes.
While Bai Xuan was still extremely anxious, she saw Zhang Chunxue straightening his back little by little, as if there was an invisible force supporting him in his body, gradually allowing him to stand upright again.
It turned out that the divine energy in his body began to work, straightening the broken spine bit by bit, but the recovery was not regular. The whole person was stretched a lot and looked a little staggered.
"Yuanzheng...you..." Bai Xuan was filled with worry.
Zhang Chunxue opened his eyes and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, now is not the time to worry about this. We have to find a way to get out of the warehouse immediately. If they act like this, it will cause a disaster."
"But now that the spiritual message has been cut off and we can't contact the outside world, what should we do?" Bai Xuan looked worried, "We can't stop them even if we go down."
Zhang Chunxue took out the spiritual message, his face deformed He gave a crooked smile.
“Fortunately, we have turned on Skynet.”
“The Lingxun signal is disconnected, but we can still contact everyone.”
He lowered his head and operated. Then he raised his head and said to Bai Xuan: "Let's go to the warehouse now. Others will meet us through other channels."
"We can't let such a person succeed. He wants to use the whole of Chang'an to pave the way for his great cause. The General Administration of Textiles must not allow such a thing to happen."
Bai Xuan nodded and limped with support. Zhang Chunxue walked into the pavilion in the yard.
Outside the yard, some auras were lurking, and it was obvious that there were many surveillance eyes hidden in the darkness.
However, Zhang Chunxue waved his sleeves, and the restrictions in the courtyard were opened. After the two entered the pavilion, Zhang Chunxue activated the mechanism under the pavilion floor, and the passage leading to the warehouse slowly opened.
The two stepped into the passage, and the entrance of the passage gradually closed above their heads.
Zhang Chunxue decisively activated the self-destruction device, completely locking the entrance to the passage.
Bai Xuan asked in shock: "Master Zhang, why are you so decisive?"
"The entrance that Shen Hao knows is only on the periphery of the warehouse, which is thousands of miles away from the core, so that's fine , leaving some time for us."
"But... isn't the outer perimeter a containment area, isn't that the purpose of His Highness?"
Zhang Chunxue shook his head and said solemnly: "You. Do you think he really wanted to go to the warehouse to purify the strange things?”
Bai Xuan frowned and said, "Isn't it?"
"No, his purpose is the same as that of the Northern Territory." Zhang Chunxue looked solemn and said slowly, "I finally figured it out. He is also aiming at the dragon vein. Come..."
When Bai Xuan heard the word "dragon vein", she was shocked, her face turned pale and her heart became cold.
There is a dragon vein hidden under the warehouse, and she naturally knows this secret.
It is even more clear that if Dragon Vein is passive, the consequences will be disastrous.
"If it is true..."
"Yes, Chang'an will fall." Zhang Chunxue nodded, his voice getting colder.
Bai Xuan was cold all over. Her family were all in Chang'an, so it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.
“Then, what should we do?”
Zhang Chunxue’s eyes were deep and he said slowly: “We have to activate the protection mechanism.”
...
The night is getting darker, and the lights are swaying in the palace.
"Cough cough...cough cough..." The emperor kept coughing, his face became paler, and there was a dull pain in his chest.
The queen patted him on the back gently, her voice full of distress and complaint: "Your Majesty is in poor health now, why do you have to force yourself to attend this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet? The night wind blows, and your condition becomes worse. It's even heavier."
"I can't help it. I haven't shown up for a long time. I have to show up again. Ahem..." The emperor shook his head and sighed, with a hint of helplessness and weariness in his voice. "Otherwise. , everyone thinks that this world is really going to return..."
The emperor said with a deep look in his eyes, with a hint of complexity.
"Let Jiale come in."
The queen nodded and signaled to the palace people to signal Princess Jiale who was waiting outside to enter the palace.
She asked in a low voice: "Are you really planning to..."
"I have known the art of checks and balances since I was a child."
The emperor whispered, with some deep meaning in his eyes.
"What's more, that monster Wen Zhiliang, he deliberately let me know his existence, so as to take into account the disciples and disciples he has at hand, as well as his current physique as the chosen god..."
"It is better to give him the position of prince than to reach out and take it himself."
The queen frowned slightly, but said no more, just sighed.
They have not had any heirs of their own for so many years. This is the biggest problem. Perhaps this is the retribution for what your Majesty did back then...
She felt sad as she looked at her husband who was getting older and losing his vitality.
At this time, Li Jianxi, the princess of Jiale County, entered the palace, stood not far away, and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite..." The emperor said a few words, coughed again, and could only wave.
The queen understood what he meant, so she spoke on her behalf: "Jian Xi, the emperor wants you to come over."
"Yes." Li Jianxi stepped forward slowly and stood behind the queen, The look is respectful and the posture is humble.
Although she is arrogant and willful, it is just her usual disguise, and she knows that her true nature is to be measured in her advances and retreats. "Jian Xi, your appearance is just right..."
The emperor was so relieved by the queen that he was finally able to speak, his voice a bit hoarse and heavy.
“Do you know why I want you to follow me?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know.” Li Jianxi shook her head and replied.
After the family dinner just now, the emperor asked Li Jianxi to accompany the queen back to the palace with him.
Everyone just felt that Prince Li Xuan had something important to do and needed to take care of Chang'an on the Mid-Autumn Night for the emperor. Although Li Jianxi was both a sword holder, he was still the princess, so it might be more suitable to take care of the emperor. There is no need to worry too much.
Li Jianxi thought so too.
The emperor waved, the queen stepped aside, and Li Jianxi sat beside the bed.
The emperor lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "I know some things in my heart. You have to understand that sometimes, the prince is not the only choice..."
Li Jianxi frowned slightly, She thought about walking into the center step by step, but she didn't expect that this day would appear so quickly.
The emperor sighed deeply, with a faint worry in his eyes: "He has lofty ambitions, which is a good thing...but, I didn't expect that his ambitions are much loftier than I imagined."
Li Jianxi He asked in a low voice: "Uncle Huang means..."
The emperor smiled coldly and said: "He wants the entire Chang'an people to clear the way for his temple."
" Although I hoped that the Supreme God would come, I never thought that so many people would have to be sacrificed..."
As he spoke, the emperor coughed and stood up, and said to the queen: "Queen, could you please put the vase in the corner? Turn three times, one left, one right and one left.”
The queen gave him a puzzled look and said, "Your Majesty, please lie down quickly. What are you doing now?"
But seeing the emperor's determined gaze, the queen said nothing and turned around to do as he was told.
After turning three times, the bed beside the emperor moved in response and sank downwards, revealing a secret passage.
The queen was stunned. She had been lying on this bed for many years, but she didn't know that such a passage was hidden here.
The emperor smiled bitterly when he saw this, "This is the way of escape left by our ancestors. It's normal for you not to know."
After saying that, the emperor took out another tiger charm from under the pillow and solemnly handed it to Li Jianxi.
"Take the Divine Tiger Talisman and leave the palace through this secret passage... to find Duke Zhen."
"Tonight, you will become another bright moon..."
......
Li Jianxi climbed out of the dog hole, covered in dust and her face was dark.
But she couldn't care about that much anymore, and rushed straight to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, where she would scrub it again when she got there.
However, when she arrived, she was told that the Duke of Zhen could not see her.
"My master fainted because the prince fell into a coma after his return. He was so heartbroken that he fainted. He just asked the imperial doctor to come and see him. He said he needed to rest. Please come back tomorrow, princess."
After waiting in the foyer for a long time, a steward came out and said this politely.
Li Jianxi remembered that during the family banquet in the palace just now, the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly left the banquet in a hurry, not knowing what was urgent.
Many people secretly said that Duke Zhenguo was not good at educating his children. The Holy Emperor was also the eldest brother and was unhappy at the time, but he had to give the old general some face.
However, of course she knows that if she is physically ill, this is a polite refusal.
After all, if Mr. Zhen Guo was really unwell, he would have rejected her the moment she walked in. Why did he have to wait so long?
Obviously they went back to discuss it before refusing to meet.
He also said that he would come back tomorrow. After tonight, it is still unknown what will happen to the Chang'an meeting...
Now Li Jianxi understood whose side Duke Zhen Guo was on.
“I understand, thank you, Manager Chen, for informing me.”
Li Jianxi nodded slightly, with a smile on her face and a gentle voice.
"Please tell Duke Zhen Guo tomorrow and tell him that His Majesty misses him very much. Even though he is ill, he is still thinking of Duke Zhen. I also hope that Duke Zhen Guo will take good care of himself and don't worry about him. ...It’s too much and makes His Majesty worried.”
After speaking, Li Jianxi said goodbye and left.
Holding half of the tiger talisman, she stood alone in the street, but she was at a loss.
At this time, she suddenly thought of someone.
But now she has also discovered that the spiritual message has been cut off, the National Academy of Sciences has been suspended, and she does not even know where this person has settled in Chang'an...
No, there is one!
So she took the flying sword and flew away in the direction of Qingyun Pavilion.
However, halfway through the flight, she was stopped by Yijin Wuwei.
"At three o'clock in the morning, a curfew has been issued in Chang'an City, and no one is allowed to fly." The Jinwu guard said coldly.
“Curfew?” Li Jianxi frowned and asked, “There has never been a curfew in Chang’an City for a hundred years. Why is there a sudden curfew tonight?”
“There are many people on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, so take precautions before it happens. "The man said coldly.
Li Jianxi's eyes narrowed slightly and he took out the holy sword from his arms.
Seeing the sword, Jin Wuwei's expression changed, and then he lowered his head.
“Should you give way?” Li Jianxi asked.
But this Jin Wuwei's reaction was strange. He raised his head, with a strange light in his eyes, a sneer on his lips, and suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards Li Jianxi.
Li Jianxi's heart trembled. She felt the divine power rushing through him and immediately understood what was going on.
This Li Xuan! He actually turned Jin Wuwei into his puppet private soldier!
Li Jianxi no longer hesitated, raised the holy sword in his hand, and slashed at the Jinwu Guard!
