Chapter 1171 Loud noise
However, time passed little by little, and the silent city of Luoyang remained silent.
Liang Shide panicked a little.
He struggled to take two steps forward. Although he was still far away from Luoyang City, he seemed eager to see through the thick city wall immediately and see clearly what the soldiers inside were doing and whether they followed his orders.
Why not yet...?
Seeing that the knife in his hand could no longer restrain him, Liang Youying gritted his teeth and dragged him back fiercely.
At the same time, she was so nervous that she held her breath and stared with wide eyes at the city of Luoyang in front of her that was as hot as fire against the backdrop of red silk but also exuded a strong smell of blood. At this moment, not only was her heart beating like thunder, Even Pei Xingyuan, who stood in front and seemed to be indifferent to everything and could face all dangers and difficulties with a smile, held his breath, listening to his own pounding heartbeat, as if waiting for the next moment to come from the front. Big bang.
But, still nothing happened.
Everything was quiet too suddenly and too dead, as if everyone had lost their reaction for a moment.
In this silence where even the sound of the wind was about to disappear, a white cloth suddenly stood up from the tower at the upper east gate and swayed towards them from a distance.
Pei Xingyuan was overjoyed and suddenly turned his head to look at Liang Youying: "Jiang Wei is done!"
With just these words, Liang Shide felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Just now, he had realized that Jiang Wei, who left Wanggang Village with Liang Youying, must have acted with them. Since they already knew that they had buried gunpowder and were preparing to destroy Luoyang City, Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying stopped him from ascending to the altar. To offer sacrifices at the altar, Jiang Wei must be in the city, preventing several people from the city gates from lighting gunpowder!
Now, Shangdongmen failed to light the gunpowder after receiving his message, but he succeeded!
Hearing this, an excited smile appeared on Liang Youying's face. Then, she looked coldly at Liang Shide in front of her and let out a cold snort: "Humph!"
But at the same time, Liang Shide sneered and said: "Do you think that after blocking the East Gate, you can also block all places?"
One sentence made everyone's hearts pick up in their throats again.
Both Guan Ao and Guan Chiying knew that he had buried gunpowder in more than one place. Since Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying were hiding in the city, their purpose was to stop him, so it should be clear.
The two of them gasped almost simultaneously and turned to look at Luoyang City again.
At this time, the sound of gongs sounded by the soldiers who had just entered the East Gate had already reached Jianchun Gate. In the distance, there seemed to be a sound of gongs over there.
However, it was just a sound.
Everyone's hearts suddenly jumped into their throats again, almost bursting out.
But this time, Liang Shide was obviously more nervous than Pei Xingyuan and the others. He originally thought he had a sure chance of victory. He thought that if he fought to the death, he would at least be known as a king after going to the altar to offer sacrifices. However, he did not expect that the sacrifice failed. Not only was he being held hostage before he ascended the throne, even the city of Luoyang, which had been prepared to be buried with him, seemed to be no longer under his control.
Just as he held his breath, listened carefully, and waited even more eagerly for a roar to come from ahead, silence descended once again.
Still nothing happened.
"No, no..."
At this moment, he was about to collapse, shaking his head desperately. He didn't even care that the blade would slit his throat. Liang Youying was so shocked that he could only hold the blade with his palm, but at this time, it seemed that there was no longer anything to hold him hostage. Meaning, losing control of Luoyang City, Liang Shide was like a puppet that had lost its strings. He froze in place, looking at the silent distance with cracked eyes. Although the situation of Jianchun Gate cannot be seen from here, it is obvious that the gunpowder there has not been ignited.
So, what about Tongmen?
Step by step, he walked down the altar dejectedly. Liang Youying actually did not stop him anymore. She only stood behind him, staring at him coldly with eyes that were so cold that he felt like there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Watch him lose everything bit by bit.
She murmured: "That's great..."
The deathly silence, like the despair in Liang Shide's heart, like the joy in Pei Xingyuan's heart, is constantly expanding and spreading. They can't hear or see what is happening in the Tongmen in the distance, but because they can't hear anything From the news, they understood that the people arranged by Jiang Wei also won there!
Then...
There are also the Changxia Gate, Dingding Gate and Houzai Gate in Nancheng. As long as they don't hear the news from Tongmen, or if the people arranged by Jiang Wei stop it in time, they are all safe!
As long as, as long as this silence can continue to last!
And God seemed to have heard their prayers. Such silence was like an invisible cover, covering the entire sky of Luoyang City. Except for a few gongs that had just sounded, there was really no sound at all. The city was as quiet as a lifeless bonsai.
Great, great!
Pei Xingyuan couldn't help but jumped up, bumped Liang Youying with his arm, and said with a smile: "Jiang Wei still has two brushes, I thought you were bragging."
At this moment, Liang Youying also relaxed and wanted to smile at his ecstatic look, but the expression on his face was a bit stiff.
After all, the big things have been decided, and then she has to face some small things.
Seeing the complicated expression on her face, Pei Xingyuan also came to his senses, turned around and glanced at Liang Shide, who had blood on his neck, dull eyes, red eyes, and looked like he was worse off than dead. He was still confused. Looking at Luoyang City, it seemed that Luoyang City had not been blown up, but his whole soul was blown to pieces.
"No, it's impossible..."
He murmured in disbelief: "I can't lose, not all of them..."
Liang Youying looked at him coldly, but seemed not even in the mood to argue with him.
Pei Xingyuan snorted coldly: "Isn't your plan to start from the Upper East Gate, go to Jianchun Gate, and pass through the gate? Now none of them have been blown up, and the Changxia Gate and Houzai Gate in Nancheng are all fine. Why, is it possible? Do you also want the emblem of Beicheng——"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise!
This rumbling sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, not only interrupting Pei Xingyuan's words, but also shattering the silence around him that seemed to be about to condense, causing the earth to tremble slightly. For a moment, everyone was in a panic, especially Pei Xingyuan, who almost jumped up. Fortunately, Liang Youying caught him, but in her panic, she did not forget to immediately put the dagger on Liang Shide's neck.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces pale and frightened. Everyone could tell that the loud noise seemed to come from the Hui'an Gate in the north of the city.
What's going on?
Hui'an Gate, could it be said——
