The queen must start from the head

Chapter 177 Sky City
Just the day before Mu Lian took out the Sky City, the Northern Qi monarch who learned that the people in the imperial city were behaving differently, immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.

The results of the investigation came out soon.

This matter is actually very simple.

Ever since the Qin Dynasty moved south, some people in the imperial city began to have a similar dream. In this dream, a god named Jiutian Xuannv built a city floating in the sky.

In this city, there is no hunger, and no beggars are seen on the road.

There are no wars in the city, and people live in harmony.

The people who fell into the dream were told that they could live in the city for a while.

But if their words and deeds violate the laws of the city, they will be punished by the law.

If they can't correct it afterwards, they will no longer be able to live in this city.

"A city? Or a city built by Nine Heavens Xuannv? What kind of mess?"

After reading the memorial, the monarch directly threw the memorial on the ground.

It's just some messy dreams, what does it have to do with Mu Sheng?The people below are becoming more and more careless in their work.No, if we let Daqin's army go on fighting like this, how can the widow's country be defended?

After thinking about it, Li Tianming decided to go to the Supreme Emperor.

This time, the Supreme Emperor was not meditating.

After seeing him come in and salute, there was no smile on the Emperor's face.

Li Tianming faintly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Father, Mu Lian is hiding in Tianxia Wushuang faction, and the people I send can't see her at all. Now that Daqin's army has taken ten cities of our Northern Qi, let them take fourteen cities, I, Northern Qi, will be completely destroyed!"

"Didn't you think of a way to have the people surround the Tianxia Wushuang sect's door and force her to come out?"

Hey, it really is father and son, both of them thought of a place to go.

Li Tianming gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what demon method Mulian used! I have sent many people to spread the word in the city, but no one is willing to go to the gate of Wushuang to make trouble."

The Supreme Emperor said with a cold face, "If you are too soft, then be tough. Send people to press the old, weak, women and children to the door of her house. If she doesn't come out in a moment, kill one person, kill dozens or hundreds of people, I don't believe she won't come out." !”

Li Tianming was shocked, this, this method is also vicious, right?

It doesn't look like something that would come out of the mouth of the father!
He looked at the Supreme Emperor with suspicion and said, "Father, these old and weak women and children in the imperial city, their fathers, brothers and husbands are still fighting bloody battles for my Northern Qi!"

"Then there is only one last way left."

"any solution?"

The Supreme Emperor glanced at Li Tianming complicatedly and said, "Actually, I am not your father."

what? !

Li Tianming was shocked.

He was about to ask, "You are not my father, so who is my father", but the Supreme Emperor raised his hand and tore off a human skin mask from his face, revealing a blue-colored middle-aged man's face.

"Although I am not your royal father, I am your biological father."

Li Tianming was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw the Supreme Emperor who was completely different from before after the mask was removed.The person in front of him is not his royal father, but his father?

The other party seemed to know what he was thinking, and said slowly, "35 years ago, the then Northern Qi monarch visited in disguise for a while. After he came back, the queen, who had always been unfavored, became pregnant, and she was born in October. The next prince, and was named the prince."

Having said this, Li Tianming couldn't hear it more clearly.

35 years ago, when the real Northern Qi monarch went out for a private visit on Weibo, he was dropped by someone.

Instead, it was the impostor in front of him, and this impostor gave birth to a prince with the queen at that time, and that prince was himself.

It turns out that he has been the king for more than ten years, but he is not a real member of the Li royal family at all!

Li Tianming opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Did he want to ask the person in front of him where the real monarch of Northern Qi was now?

Is there any point in asking these words?

The father and son, who had torn off the last layer of camouflage, looked at each other.

After a long silence.

Li Tianming asked, "Why, why did you tell me the truth at this time?"

"Because the last method I mentioned is to ask you to lead all the civil and military officials to surrender to the Great Qin Kingdom automatically. But if you regard the throne of Northern Qi Kingdom as your own, you will definitely not want to let it go. Therefore, I decided to tell you the truth. The Northern Qi throne was never owned by my father and son, and it is not a pity to throw it away now."

What's more, he had already plundered all the wealth in the treasury. Even if he surrendered and let Da Qin take over, there would only be an empty shell left.

These words completely shattered the last hope and illusion in Li Tianming's heart. He couldn't help but slumped to the ground, feeling at a loss.It turns out that the throne of Northern Qi has never been his, not his...

He said dejectedly, "I originally thought that the king of Zhao Kingdom would lead the people to surrender because of his licentiousness and corruption. I don't want me, Li Tianming, to be diligent in government and love the people, but I have to go to this stage..."

Li Gang frowned when he heard him mention the King of the Zhao Kingdom, "Actually, the King of the Zhao Kingdom was disguised by someone else, and that person is from the same sect as me."

Li Tianming was stunned again.

What kind of sect is it that can make one of your own people succeed in becoming the monarch of another country, and they have been in power for decades without being discovered by anyone?

He couldn't help asking, "Since you all hide so well, why don't you keep hiding?"

"Because we have all received instructions that the only person who can be the co-lord of the world is the monarch of the Great Qin Kingdom. This matter is destined. Anyone who stands in the way of this matter will be removed as a stumbling block !"

"Aside from asking to surrender, is there really no other way to go?"

"No, there is only this way."

Li Gang's decisive reply finally made Li Tianming give up completely.

He thought for a while and asked, "When do you want to make an order?"

"The sooner the better."

"Then tomorrow, at the court tomorrow, I will announce this news to all civil and military officials."

This night, Li Tianming bid farewell to his father, and went to the queen's bedroom once in a while.

The blue tent is illuminated by red candles, and the mandarin ducks are hit by red waves.

After the incident, the queen nestled in the man's arms, her face filled with joy.

Li Tianming stroked the top of her hair and asked softly, "Queen, if one day I am no longer Your Majesty, would you still follow me?"

The queen opened her eyes wide, looked at him puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You are not Your Majesty, so who is Your Majesty?"

Li Tianming didn't answer, but just quietly looked at the tent above his head.

Starting tomorrow, he will no longer be the monarch of Northern Qi.

If the monarch of the Qin Dynasty was generous, he might be given an official title. If he was not generous enough, he might have to spend his next life in a small building with carved railings and jade walls.

His father made it very clear to him that with his current age and cultivation aptitude, it was impossible for him to enter the former sect.But having the identity of a father is enough to protect him for the rest of his life.

Li Tianming had been a monarch for more than ten years, and once he came to the end, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, which were hard to count.

He even started to wonder, when the people knew the news that Northern Qi had surrendered to Great Qin, would they understand him, be disappointed with him, or resent him?
He was also wondering if he still had a final chance to turn things around, such as making a big promise to let people from the Wushuang faction fight against Daqin's army, so that he could negotiate with the other party again...

However, Li Tianming himself knew that Mu Lian was not someone he could drive around at will, and his father who had been the Supreme Emperor for many years would not let him do whatever he wanted.

He knew that he had already lost. He lost before Daqin's army entered the imperial city. He lost completely.

No matter how unwilling he is, he will still send an official document requesting surrender to the Great Qin State tomorrow.

At that moment, there will be no more Northern Qi in this world.

Outside the tent, Hong Zhu wept quietly.

In the tent, someone had difficulty falling asleep.

Until tomorrow, the sun will still rise as usual.

-

Bai Xiaoyun, a native of the Imperial City, holds the title of Juren.

He often brags to people that there are two things in his life that he is most proud of.

The first thing is that when Mu Sheng opened the Sancai Bookstore on Shuyuan Street, he was the first group of customers to buy books in the store, and he had a few words with Mu Sheng.

The second thing was that during the tribute examination in February this year, he and Mu Sheng stayed in the same examination room for two hours.

Although after the results came out, he failed the exam, but that was not the point.

Now, he already has the third thing to be proud of, that is, he has successfully stayed for No.15 days in this mysterious sky city.

The life of these fifteen years was actually a dream, but it made him feel extremely real.

In the past fifteen days, Bai Xiaoyun had seen too many things that he found incomprehensible.

When entering the city, all the precautions were repeated over and over again by a strange loudspeaker-like thing, but some people still didn't listen.

For example, the city is very clean everywhere.

The law stipulates that no one can urinate or litter anywhere.

As for what is rubbish, it is clearly stated in the regulations.

But there are always people who can't find grass when they encounter three emergencies, so it is convenient to squat on the road.And that small house called a public restroom is right behind this person.

There are also some people who, after entering the city in the sky in their dreams, always think that they are dreaming anyway, so they can do whatever they want, and then wantonly harass the aborigines in the city.

For example, there was a person who was so bold that he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to go to a neighbor's house to find a beautiful girl to do bad things, but was immediately caught by the city administrator.

Some people found gold hidden in the neighbor's house and sneaked in to steal it, but they were also caught.

As for Bai Xiaoyun himself, he thought he was a law-abiding citizen.

He would do whatever the city administrator told him to do, and he would obey him if he was told not to do anything.

For example, in this city, there is a private school called a school, which requires everyone to go to study every day.Although Bai Xiaoyun is a Juren, he still has to go to study with a group of children.

When teachers here teach, they don't teach people to memorize by rote. Instead, they teach people to understand first and then memorize. They often speak eloquently during lectures.

Even the most simple stories and poems were told to him with great interest.

However, many people still made trouble, were unwilling to listen to the class, and even hit the teacher.Naturally, the administrators stabbed the person out with two big forks.

Bai Xiaoyun sincerely hopes that there is such a city in this world.

If there is, he would rather live in it for the rest of his life.

But the days are too short!
Today is No. 15th day. On this day, the administrator will notify the whole city of those who have successfully passed the entrance examination.

When the loudspeaker started calling out names one by one, Bai Xiaoyun was so nervous that his palms became sweaty.

God, for the sake of my hard work, you must let me pass!
"Bai Xiaoyun, pass!"

Just as he was thinking, a familiar name suddenly appeared in his ears.

He finally heard his name, but Bai Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his face showed ecstasy, he passed!He really passed!

"Boom!" There was a sound, and Bai Xiaoyun, who was dancing on the bed with too much excitement, suddenly rolled on the ground from the head of the bed, and instantly woke up from the dream.

He barely had time to put on his clothes and shoes, and ran out of the house holding the big bump on his head, shouting as he ran, "I'm hit! I'm hit! I'm hit!"

The people in the neighbors looked at him curiously one by one.

Those who are hostile to Mu Lian and the Wushuang faction cannot enter the dream of the Sky City Examination.

Therefore, when they looked at Bai Xiaoyun running happily like a fool on the streets of the Imperial City, they all suspected that he might be suffering from hypochondriasis.

Someone couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Another poor scholar who wants to win the exam and goes crazy!"

But those who have entered the dreamland all know what Bai Xiaoyun's "hit" refers to.

Among these people, some were envious of Bai Xiaoyun, while others were so sad.

"Look at his virtue! He ran into the street with no clothes on. I really don't know how the administrator would choose such a person? It's a waste of a spot!"

However, no matter how others pointed at him, Bai Xiaoyun was so happy that he was about to fly.

Only those who have passed the entrance examination know that this city in the sky really exists!
And the day of its appearance is today!
Can he not be excited now?

Bai Xiaoyun was so excited that he didn't even notice the news of Northern Qi's surrender to Great Qin posted on the major bulletin boards in the imperial city.

When he was tired from running all the way, he stopped and walked back.

Passing by the entrance of the posthouse on the road, a young man in rich clothes and waving a folding fan was going out surrounded by a group of attendants.

This man was the envoy from Great Qin who had caused a lot of trouble in the imperial city before.

Now that Northern Qi has officially surrendered to Da Qin, all the cities along the way have given up resistance. The Da Qin soldiers and horses responsible for taking over the imperial city are rushing towards the imperial city under the leadership of Feng Shuai.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs.

He had just received the news that several small countries in the south also united and surrendered to the Great Qin State because of the pressing force of Wei State.Next, as long as the Qin army takes over and digests the Northern Qi, and then takes down Wei, the day of unification of the entire continent will come!

The unification of the Qin Dynasty was his lord's long-cherished wish. How could he not be happy when he saw it coming true?

It just so happened that the weather was good today, so he decided to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw a disheveled man passing by the door of the inn with a silly smile.

The road messenger's face was a little displeased, who wants to bump into a fool as soon as he goes out!

The group of attendants who followed Lu Shishi were originally sent by the monarch to monitor him.

Now that Da Qin has become a victorious country, the king is no longer a king. These people must find another way out quickly!
So this group of people immediately changed the target of their dog legs from the monarch to the messenger.

Seeing the envoy showing displeasure on his face, a discerning servant looked in front of him, and saw a disheveled boy walking past in front of the lord?Isn't this looking for bad luck for adults?
He immediately volunteered to stand up, took a few steps forward and grabbed Bai Xiaoyun who was about to walk away.

Bai Xiaoyun, who had woken up from the ecstasy, looked at a stranger who grabbed his collar with confusion, "Who are you? Why are you holding on to my clothes?"

Huh?The servant was taken aback when he heard the words, this person spoke quite normally, not a fool!

But the messenger of the road is watching behind him now, so it is impossible to let the other party go like this.

So he said with a straight face, "You are not a fool, so why are you walking on the street disheveled?"

Bai Xiaoyun was stunned. Could it be that the person in front of him has a brain problem?

What does it matter if he is disheveled or not?Isn't this man meddling in his own business with a mouse?
"What's wrong with me just going out dressed like this? I'm happy, sir!"

Bai Xiaoyun retorted unceremoniously, and snatched back the collar that was grabbed by him, and turned to leave.

This time, the man felt that he had been hurt, and immediately called a group of his companions, who surrounded Bai Xiaoyun, punched and kicked him in the middle.

Many people passing by looked indifferently at Bai Xiaoyun whose mouth was bleeding from the beating.

It's none of your business, hang up high.

Didn’t you see the noble gentleman waving his folding fan and smiling?
This kid on the ground must have offended others, and now he was beaten up because of himself, so what does it have to do with them?
Just when Bai Xiaoyun was violently beaten by a group of people, in the Wushuang faction at this time, Mu Lian threw the sky city in her hand into the sky.

As the city unfolded, a huge city that could be said to cover the sky and the sun appeared in the sky above the entire imperial city.

The city continued to rise, and all the people staying on the street couldn't help looking up at the giant city, not knowing where it came from.

People have speculated that there must be countless treasures hidden in this sky city.

Only those who passed the entrance examination held back their excitement, kept their mouths shut, and waited for that moment to come.

Soon, countless long and long stairs appeared in this city in the sky, as if they heard people's discussions, and wanted to attract people from the ground to come here.

A staircase also descended from the gate of the post house.

The few servants who were still beating people just now were scrambling to climb up the stairs.

However, when their hands touched the stairs, they went straight through, and they didn't even have the qualifications to touch the stairs.

"Cough cough."

At this time, the messenger coughed.

The group of servants immediately dispersed, and respectfully asked the emissary to climb up the ladder.

Waving the paper fan in satisfaction, the messenger swaggered all the way to the front of the ladder, raised one foot and stepped directly onto the first ladder.

However, the foot he raised fell flat and stepped on it.

Messenger Lu was startled, and he quickly touched the ladder with his hands. As a result, his hands, like those of the servants, could not touch the ladder at all.

At this time, Bai Xiaoyun, who was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, stood up slowly with a bruised nose and swollen face.

He looked at the group of people in front of him coldly and spat on the ground.

Then, under the gazes of these people, he stepped on the ladder to heaven.

He didn't even need to move himself, the ladder picked up the right person and sent him directly to the highest city.

Bai Xiaoyun looked down at the group of people below who could only watch him leave, opened his mouth, and spit out the words "a group of idiots".

When the messenger heard his voice, his face changed with anger.

"You bastard! You're a bastard! How can a fool go up this damn ladder, but not the emissary! Why?!"

He was so angry that he directly launched an attack on the ladder, but he couldn't hit the latter at all.

These attacks all fell on the people watching the excitement around, and the crowd fled in fright for a while.

The envoy, who had no one to vent his anger, turned angrily to the servants behind him and said, "The lord humiliates the minister to death! What use are you worthless bastards!"

After saying that, he swung the folding fan and cut the throats of the servants behind him in a "swipe" motion.

The gate of the post house suddenly became a mess.

Ji Wuming appeared out of nowhere, looked at Messenger Lu after killing everyone, and said, "I didn't expect Messenger Lu to be so uncool at times."

After hearing Ji Wuming's voice, Messenger Lu quickly closed his folding fan, and his face returned to a calm look.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Mr. Ji, are you looking for someone to ask for something?"

Ji Wuming said coldly, "Let me ask you, why is Mu Lian still alive? Why is her Wushuang sect still alive?"

Killing Mu Lian and completely destroying the Wushuang faction, this is the condition that he and An Yun had negotiated when they traded at the Wangqingpo Qiushui Pavilion in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city.

But now, Northern Qi has surrendered to Da Qin.

That woman and her sect had not been destroyed yet, which made Ji Wuming feel that she had been deceived.

"This..." the messenger was thinking about how to speak.

Suddenly, a noble man in rich clothes walked out of the post house behind him.

The visitor looked at Ji Wuming and said, "Three days later, the Daqin army will arrive at the imperial city tomorrow. After three days, it will be the death date agreed between you and me, Mu Lian and the entire Tianxia Wushuang faction."

"Okay, then I will trust Mr. An again!"

After Ji Wuming said this, he took a deep look at An Yun, then turned around and gradually disappeared into the dark alley.

The envoy Lu turned around and walked towards An Yun.

When the two approached, Lu Envoy whispered in An Yun's ear, "No matter how much you look like the Lord, you are not him. You will never be qualified to replace the Lord!"

An Yun looked calm and said, "The Lord is irreplaceable. But the Lord has returned to the mountain gate now, and Great Qin now needs An Yun. This is the meaning of the Lord training me."

It turned out that this An Yun was the fake An Yun who signed the peace agreement with Mu Lian when they were in Xiancheng.

Afterwards, the pool of water in the imperial city was muddied several times, and it was this person who followed the Lord's instructions behind the scenes.

"Hmph! You better have this self-awareness!"

The envoy Lu didn't look at him after he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the post house.

At the gate of the post house, Fake An Yun looked up at the huge city above that could flatten the entire imperial city if it collapsed, and there were slight ripples in his heart.

Who built this city?
If the Lord is here now, he must be able to tell at a glance, right?

　I know that my friends who have read all the way to this chapter know that many of the things I wrote before always make people feel like they are playing a drama. It is obviously ancient but there are always modern things. It is obvious that I have entered this era. Afterwards, it’s time to follow the Romans and do as the Romans do.

　　But the author thinks that such a reasonable approach is precisely the most unreasonable.

　　If we are willing to put ourselves in the situation and think about it, it is impossible for us to require a modern person to perfectly adapt to a new environment as soon as he arrives, and to complete the physical and mental transformation.

　　In addition, as long as we are in the old age, we cannot get rid of all the serious diseases brought about by this age.Mumu is not a great reformer, not a great inventor. All she can think of is to use her own strength and her own way to completely turn this era upside down.Maybe she can't save everyone, but she can save people's future.

　　To change an era, we need to change technology and concepts, and we need people who can accept it all.

　　Thinking about the Chinese dynasty before the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese dynasty before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese dynasty now, we will find that human beings' ability to accept is always stronger than we can imagine.

　　To write a fantasy novel that should be cool and easy to read, and write it into such a chaotic, brain-intensive and unpleasant essay, I know this is my fault, I'm sorry~

　　But I will still try to finish it~
