Meng Chen already had a rough understanding of the matter, and his brows were filled with sadness.
Huang Wujin really planned to declare war with those aristocratic families this time. The heads of the three families were all slaughtered. As long as the aristocratic families still wanted to gain a foothold in the Eastern Phoenix Territory, there was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.
Once this news gets out, the three families will definitely use all their family strength to fight against the Red Phoenix court, and even the Cui family may be involved. After all, they are the same family.
The general trend of the world in the East Phoenix Territory is beyond Meng Chen's control. The court and the aristocratic family will definitely fight to the death. As for the final result, Meng Chen doesn't want to know.
He just wants the people around him to be well now. As long as Cui Dongsheng, Cui Xuanyu and Ji Boda are fine, that's enough.
The next day, the whole city of Donghuang City was under martial law, and then soldiers inspected every place, not sparing every household, as if they were digging three feet into the ground.
One of Meng Chen's talisman puppets was soon discovered, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Chen knew that he was the one they were looking for!
Among the team, the commander was holding a portrait of Meng Chen. At that time, Meng Chen felt that he had changed his appearance anyway, and it would be difficult to find himself in the sky, so he simply started to investigate quietly.
At this time, a burst of fire burst out from the portrait in the commander's hand, and then a flaming chain flew out of the painting and was instantly tied to Meng Chen's talisman puppet.
Meng Chen wanted to break free, but the flaming chain not only did not let go of him, but even increased its strength. The blazing phoenix divine flames burned and ignited Meng Chen's talisman puppet.
The cultivation level of the Fu Zhuan substitute is simply incapable of resisting the burning of the flame chain. It was transformed by the flames of the great avenue. Even if it is Meng Chen's original body, it must be treated seriously.
After struggling in vain, Meng Chen's talisman stand-in was burned to death by the divine flames. It transformed back into a piece of yellow paper with vermilion runes painted on it, and was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Meng Chen's body felt like his heart was beating with fear. This time, he really felt Huang Wujin's determination to kill him. He was planning to kill someone wrong rather than let it go!
The key is, what are the portraits in the hands of the commander! He was actually able to recognize himself after disguise.
This time it’s just a stand-in talisman, but what about next time? What about next time?
At this moment, Meng Chen felt wary and uneasy in his heart.
In the Taiqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, Huang Wujin, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes. There were flames burning in her eyes, and in the flames was the scene of Meng Chen's substitute talisman being destroyed just now.
"Meng Chen! You are indeed back!"
Next to her, Yun Ying, who had been guarding her, suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, has Meng Chen entered the city? Why don't you, the general, take people to kill him now!"
Huang Wujin narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "No need, what we have found now is only his substitute talisman. Three have been found. So many, which is in line with that guy's cautious character, but this is also true. The fact that he entered the city has been proven. Now that Donghuang City has been completely blocked, he can't escape from my grasp no matter what!"
When she said this, her eyes became colder and colder, which made Yun Ying next to her shiver and feel fear in her heart.
At this time, someone outside the palace announced that it was the guard commander guarding Cui Dongsheng and Cui Xuanyu.
Huang Wujin glanced at Yunying in confusion. She had already left the affairs of the Cui family to Yunying. What did those people mean by wanting to see her?
Yun Ying felt terrified in her heart. She had already told Cui Xuanyu to just tell her anything she had to say and not to let His Majesty see it. But now... what on earth does she want to do?
No matter how reluctant Yunying was, she could only obey Huang Wujin's order and brought Cui Xuanyu to Taiqing Palace.
Cui Xuanyu's beautiful eyes widened when he saw the familiar mask. It turned out that Huang Wujin in the Xuntian secret realm was actually the empress!
Huang Wujin sat high on the seat, looking down at Cui Xuanyu below. An indescribable pressure enveloped her whole body, suffocating her. Yunying hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the stiff Cui Xuanyu to his knees on the ground, and scolded: "Cui Xuanyu! Fortunately, you are still a child of a noble family, and you still don't kneel down when you see His Majesty. Is this how the Cui family taught you?"
< br>
It wasn't until Cui Xuanyu knelt down that the terrifying pressure gradually dissipated.
"Your Majesty." Cui Xuanyu bowed respectfully, mainly because he had already knelt down, and there was no point in holding it any more.
What's more, I came here to negotiate terms with Huang Wujin, so I couldn't be too high-minded.
Huang Wujin then slowly spoke: "Why did you come to see me?"
Cui Xuanyu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Why do you insist on killing Meng Chen? Can you spare his life? I, and even the Cui family, are willing to pay any price!"
Huang Wujin's originally careless expression was startled, and he looked at Cui Xuanyu below him jokingly: "Cui family? You and your father are now trapped in the imperial city. Do you think the Cui family is still your Cui family? It's up to your father to say The final word?”
Cui Xuanyu obviously came prepared and took out a cyan metal token with the word "Cui" written in ancient font on it.
"This is the inheritance token of the Cui family. All the forces of the Cui family can only act after seeing this token. Otherwise, it will be rebellion of the Cui family!"
"Even if the Cui family wants to rebel, with this token, at least half of the Cui family can be guaranteed to defect!"
Huang Wujin's eyes were fixed on the token, and her long white fingers tapped on the table.
After a long time, she said coldly: "It's not enough. Just like this, it still doesn't forgive Meng Chen's sins."
Cui Xuanyu's face was filled with disbelief. This was already the best offer they could offer at the moment, but Huang Wujin was still not satisfied. What mistake did Meng Chen make that was so serious!
"Then what else do you want?" Cui Xuanyu said coldly.
Huang Wujin looked down at her, smiled, and said indifferently: "Ask your father to send a document to inform the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty that the Cui family is willing to hand over half of its resources and submit to the imperial court, and the imperial court will account for 30% of the Cui family's business from now on!"
Cui Xuanyu's beautiful eyes were full of shock: "Huang Wujin, your appetite is too big, are you really not afraid of dying? And you want my Cui family to stand on the opposite side of all the aristocratic families, and you want my Cui family to become Public enemy of the world!”
Huang Wujin's eyes also turned cold: "Cui Xuanyu! It's you who asked me for help! And this is also a way for me to give your Cui family a way to survive. Otherwise, we will be destroyed along with the Zheng and Li families!"
After she reprimanded, the palace fell into silence. Huang Wujin was waiting for Cui Xuanyu's answer, while the latter was repeatedly weighing the pros and cons and weighing his own weight.
When the two were in a stalemate, someone else came to report outside the palace. After hearing the news from Meng Chen, both Huang Wujin and Cui Xuanyu's expressions changed slightly, and they were both eager to know the content.
Huang Wujin called someone in. He was a soldier commander who searched Meng Chen from house to house. He also held a box in his hand.
