Chapter 66 Chapter 66: Blue Lantern
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Yan army invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains.On the eighth day, fell into Qingzhou.On the 24th, it was trapped in Pingyang Mansion.
On July 13th, the Yan army broke through Heyang, Yong'an, and Shangzhou.On the 23rd, they were killed outside the capital, stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and confronted the guards of the city.
At this time, the DPRK and China are still headed by the peace faction, and the envoys keep coming and going between the two camps, but they always bring back bad news.The enemy army approached the city, confident, constantly tearing up the peace treaty, increasing the amount of compensation, and advancing step by step.
Every night, the Yan army would set up a huge trebuchet and throw stone cannons to attack the city wall.The meteor-like stone cannon hit the city tower, and the sound of the city wall collapsing spread far into the palace. It had become a few low muffled sounds, but it still woke Long Baiyue up.
Maybe it's because it's too hot, so people can't sleep well... Long Baiyue comforted herself.The uneasiness transmitted through the sound of stone cannons caused the moths in Cuiying Hall to lie dormant, and everything was quiet. She put on her clothes and got up, and lit the lamp to write a letter to Zimian.
Waiting for him with peace of mind, waiting for him with peace of mind... Although she would wait for him with peace of mind, her uneasiness and worry still permeated the paper.
Zi Mian, you have been recognized by the Holy Spirit, you must be extremely careful in everything; if you cast such a big spell, can your body bear it?Did Ming Chuangchen return to the Qing Palace?Here, we first collected gold and silver utensils, and now we have taken away gold and silver jewelry. Isn't it more difficult outside the palace?I don't know what will happen next, Zimian... A large piece of bamboo in Cuiying Hall has died, but the Holy One has no time to send someone to repair it. Looking at these dry bamboos every day, I always feel inexplicably panicked... Yan Jun Besieging the city, will we be like the bamboo trapped in the deep palace?Hey, we all depend on your protection, don't we?I should trust you and not cause trouble for you...
Zi Mian took the elixir in the evening and meditated with his eyes closed until late at night - the desperate Dafa wasted his soul, so he had to rely on the elixir to gather all his energy to prepare for the final battle of defending the city. Using this kind of Dafa will make him play with fire and set himself on fire?Thinking of this, Zi Mian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He is despicable. After knowing his life experience, if he is unwilling, he will be greedy; if he is greedy but not satisfied, he will be angry;Originally, he just wanted to seek justice, but after suffering repeated persecutions, he learned to hate—at this moment, only he himself knows best how far he has gone on the road of determination to revenge. Calling the dead three thousand heavy cavalry, this kind of Dafa, even the master, can't handle it freely.Zimian can only use the elixir to accumulate all the skills and use them together when performing the spell, so that the spell can be effective.Such a practice of eating more than enough food for free will of course cause endless troubles. He is going against the sky, maybe at a certain moment, he will go mad; maybe after doing the trick, he will lose everything... He can't complain, he has to blame himself. Zi Mian opened her eyes, but saw the flames outside the window - the Yan army was already setting fire to the city gate. He got up and walked to the window, touching the dust on the window lattice with his fingertips, he could feel the tremor caused by the stone cannon like a hot pulse.He closed his eyes amid the roar of the city wall collapsing, and his heart sank into the bottomless abyss...Even if he played with fire and set himself on fire, he couldn't complain, because what he committed was a heinous crime...
Shen Shi Yunyang was still taking a nap, but suddenly there was commotion outside Cuiying Hall.Long Baiyue dropped the half-pounded Impatiens, got up to meet them, looked at the eunuch who rushed into the Cuiying Hall aggressively, and shouted in shock: "What are you going to do?" Four or five eunuchs rushed into the palace with shovels in their hands, and under the command of the leading eunuch, their thieves looked around. As soon as they saw the gold-covered wooden utensils, they immediately rushed forward, shoveled off the gold skin with the shovel, and stuffed them into the palace. into the bag.For a moment, the piercing sound of scraping shoveled through the hall, and the pieces of wood shattered all over the floor. Long Baiyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "You can't mess around!" "Who messed up? We obeyed the imperial edict." The chief eunuch pushed Long Baiyue away arrogantly. Long Baiyue stared helplessly at the exquisite gold-inlaid chessboards, tables, and screens, all of which were destroyed in a blink of an eye, even the imperial concubine chair and gums were not spared, and couldn't help trembling with anger: "You...are doing it again for raising money. Qian Yihe? Go to war if you have something to do, don't come here to search for it! To waste things like this...It's ugly!" "Bold! Who are you calling ugly?" The eunuch pointed at Long Baiyue angrily, and ordered his subordinates in shame, "This lowly maid despises the Holy Majesty, hurry up and slap me!" The two young eunuchs immediately stopped their shovels, stepped forward and grabbed Long Baiyue, and raised their arms to make a move. "Wait!" Princess Yunyang came out from the dark part of the inner hall at this time, the young eunuch couldn't help being stunned by her stunning appearance and sharp eyes, a little terrified.She looked around at the people with different expressions in the hall, she didn't want to waste words, just lowered her head and kicked the broken pieces of wood beside her feet, and said arrogantly: "You shovel as much as you want, hurry up, don't pester my palace servants!" As soon as the eunuchs heard this, they immediately continued to loot wildly.Looking at their vicious faces, Long Baiyue couldn't help feeling sad, she couldn't help but knelt down and hugged her knees and sobbed bitterly. After the eunuchs left, Princess Yunyang sat on the shoveled imperial concubine chair, looked around the messy hall with her bright eyes, and laughed at herself: "It seems like locusts have eaten it, it's so ugly." She looked down at Long Baiyue who kept crying, and said, "Why are you crying so hard? You're so ugly!" Long Baiyue raised her face, her eyelashes were messy and her nose was red: "I don't want to cry, but I just feel uncomfortable...Princess, seeing the world suddenly become like this, this servant is afraid, thinking that the sky is going to collapse... " "Hmph," Yunyang sneered, and said disdainfully, "What's the matter? I've seen it a lot...you people, with a lifetime of just a few decades, you're bound to be ignorant and make a fuss..." The sky gradually darkened, and after nightfall, Long Baiyue lit the lamp.Now the Cuiying Hall has long since lost its golden decorations, and even the lampstands are made of copper, illuminated by a dim light, giving off a circle of old blue light. The wooden utensils that had been shoveled during the day looked grim at the moment, and the scratches exposed the original wood color from under the paint, like wounds.Princess Yunyang dismissed the palace staff, leaving Long Baiyue alone to pour wine for her.In the gloomy hall, the dejected Long Baiyue's eyes were also dull. Princess Yunyang glanced at her, took a sip of wine from the porcelain cup, and said, "What's worse, you haven't seen anything worse. Well...about fifty years ago, when I traveled around the world, I met a lady from the official family, and I fell in love with her as a sister." Long Baiyue raised her head and looked at Yunyang, thinking that what kind of a gorgeous woman would make Yunyang more attractive and willing to worship her as a sister. "You're thinking about what kind of woman can convince me, aren't you?" Princess Yunyang smiled casually, "She is naturally excellent, so she became the princess later, and I became her personal assistant." Slaves." Long Baiyue was startled, and wanted to hear Yunyang continue, but she rushed her with a cup: "What are you doing, fill me up again..." "As a matter of course, she became a queen, and she has a strong relationship with the emperor. Everything is so beautiful. She thought that life should be so happy, but the good times didn't last long—the emperor's younger brother conspired to usurp the throne." Yunyang Heng Glancing at Long Baiyue, he added, "If you think about it, you also know that the usurper is the late Emperor." Long Baiyue nodded: "I know this, but I didn't expect that you are a good sister of Empress Zhenyou." "Well, next thing you know, the younger brother who usurped the throne coveted his widowed sister-in-law, and couldn't force him to do anything, so he sent her to the temple in a fit of anger, and he will always be with the ancient Qingdeng Buddha." Seeing Long Baiyue, Yunyang nodded. , sneered and said, "You should use your brain, why would a man who can kill his brother be persecuted in every possible way but not get a weak woman?" "Because of you?" Yun Yang frowned and said, "I can't see her committing suicide, so I replaced her life with myself—as a fox demon, it's too easy to confuse a man. She protected it." "My servant has known for a long time that the princess is actually a good person." Long Baiyue smiled, imagining what kind of love and hatred entanglement those past events must have been. "Then why are you still in the palace now? Empress Zhenyou has passed away long ago." "I've said it a long time ago, the Feng Shui here is good, and there are ninety-five supreme beings for me to pick up tonics. It's a good place to practice." But Long Baiyue laughed: "Because you like the current emperor, right?" "Ghosts like him." Yunyang reprimanded with his eyes wide open. "The princess is worthy of being a fox fairy. She treats men so contemptuously, but she still makes people fascinated." Long Baiyue sighed shamelessly, "Slaves come from prostitutes—no matter how beautiful the women are there, they have to use all their strengths to be able to do so." Please men." "Hmph, men are very cheap. The clingier you are, the less he will care about you." "Hehe, who would really care about the fireworks girl? They are just spending money to buy fun, who doesn't want to have fun and face? If you are so arrogant and indifferent and annoy the benefactor, you will be at a disadvantage both openly and secretly." Long Baiyue After thinking about it, he asked, "It's also fake that the Holy Majesty arranged for the princess to get married, right? Is it to change the princess's identity?" "Hmph, of course he won't really send me to be married." The princess drank a glass of wine firmly, "But I don't plan to stay here any longer. I told him that I want to go back to Qilian Mountain." She certainly liked him, but silly thoughts like love and love were destined not to enter her heart.She should have left long ago. The princess's departure made Long Baiyue feel disappointed. During the time she was in the palace, she was no longer alone because of the princess. She really relied on her: "What about the current prince? The princess doesn't plan to use him to cultivate. ?” "Him? Huh, I've seen it before. I don't care for a young boy." Seeing Long Baiyue suddenly chuckling, Yunyang realized that he didn't tell himself, so he hurriedly changed his words, "I only adopt the Ninth Five Supreme. He no longer has this..." Before he finished speaking, Yunyang froze suddenly, and then spat out blood with a wow.Long Baiyue was terrified, and hurriedly supported her: "Princess?!" "There's something wrong with this wine..." Yunyang's abdomen convulsed, and he vomited blood one after another, and the blood soon turned black. "Someone poisoned?" Long Baiyue asked urgently, "Princess, please use your strength to support yourself, and this servant will go and invite the imperial physician." "Poisoning can't do anything to me, hmph, this wine is under a spell..." Yunyang panted non-stop, his eyes showing terrifying hatred, he stood up staggeringly and shouted, "You bastard, what's wrong with you?" Won't you show up?!" The dead bamboo outside the Cuiying Hall rustled, and Zixuan's voice suddenly came into the hall: "Monster, let you occupy the palace for decades, do you really think we are incompetent people?" "Hmph, of course you are not incompetent people," Yunyang said, wiping the black blood from the corners of his mouth, and mocking with a dark look in his eyes, "You are a coward with high magic power, relying on others to live in the world... Now you are going to subdue me, I am afraid that you are also the one What do people mean?" "The Mausoleum of the Holy Majesty has been completed, and I decided to use you to guard the tomb. Please come today." A tall figure appeared at the gate of the Cuiying Hall, but it was Cui Xu who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Dare to insult my master, waiting to be punished." Die, monster."
