Bulwark of Light

Chapter 579 Climbing the Building
"I have one thing that I must say to the queen, only to the queen."

If it didn't come from Meng Xizhou's mouth, then no one would care about it at all.

Zhu Xue gently put down the teacup.

His expression became serious, and he just looked directly into Meng Xizhou's eyes.

In those clear and bright pupils, he saw countless lights. Those eyes were as beautiful as a sun, but they were different from the sun.

Only warmth, no burning eyes.

Lin Su has seen too many people's eyes in her life.

He also saw too many souls in the eyes of these people. There are too many secrets in the world, but no matter how deep they are hidden, they will always be found... He is the younger brother of the Queen, the Grand Duke of Beizhou, During the ruthless cleanup of the Privy Council last year, he was feared by countless people because of his eyes that can see through people's hearts.

But among so many people, he had never seen eyes like Meng Xizhou's.

It is really as clear as a mirror, without any pollution.

There is no dirt in this woman's soul, only light.

So much so that a strange premonition arose in Lin Su's heart.

perhaps……

He should have more trust in this goddess who did not hesitate to escape from Xizhou.

As soon as this thought came to him, he was suppressed by Lin Su. He was secretly surprised. He had experienced a lot of wind and rain in the royal family of Beizhou, and he had fought with countless people. There are not many people in this world who are truly worthy of his trust.

It's just that after chatting with Meng Xizhou for a few more words, I came up with such an idea.

What kind of terrible contagion is this?
"Feel sorry."

He took a light breath and regained his composure: "Except for Aunt Wen... No one can enter the second floor, so it's useless to say anything to me here if you want to see His Majesty."

"Grand Duke Lin Si."

Meng Xizhou smiled softly, "I know what you mean."

"I know even more that although Her Majesty lives in the attic, she is well versed in worldly affairs. Everything I say, do, act, and move here is seen by her... The matter of the visit is not so much whether the head of the legion is willing or not. Let me go, it's better to say that His Majesty is willing to give me this opportunity."

Yes...exactly.

Every officer in Beizhou Central City is the representative of His Majesty's will.

If you visit the building without permission, you will be stopped.

This is because the Queen knows all things.

She didn't want to see her, so she didn't have to say it herself.

"only……"

She looked past Lin Si, looked at the bright sky outside the window sill in the distance, and asked softly: "Her Majesty can see the thousands of creatures in the central city clearly, can she also see the entire five continents?"

Zhu Xue was slightly taken aback.

He realized... This is Meng Xizhou speaking directly to the attic.

If there are some things that this goddess can only say to the empress due to special reasons... and the castle manor keeps refusing her to see her, then she has no choice but to say it here.

The Queen knows all things.

She said it, and the Empress would hear it.

It's just... If such a thing is said, it may not only be the empress who hears it.

The breeze is blowing outside the window, and the flowers and branches are swaying.

【"Lin Silk."】

Not long after Meng Xizhou opened his mouth, Zi Yu, the army commander who had been stationed at the castle manor, sent a spiritual message.

Her voice sounded directly in Zhu Xue's spiritual sea.

It was obviously a familiar voice, but Zhu Xue vaguely felt that it was a little strange, because Aunt Wen, it had been a long time... she hadn't spoken her name directly like this.

【"Bring her. Your Majesty wants to see her."】

A simple sentence.

Let Zhu Xue's five fingers holding the handle of the teacup stiffen immediately.

He looked into the eyes of the goddess again.

Meng Xizhou's eyes were as clear as the blue sky, bottomless.

She stopped talking.

After the words just now, she didn't make any unnecessary movements, just sat here, silently waiting for the response from the attic.

……

……

Castle hall.

Ziyu stood under a huge oil painting, which was engraved with the "Iron Qiong Emperor" who built a fortress for Beizhou many years ago. That emperor stood on the huge wall, with his back to everyone. A churning storm.

But in front of him is infinite light and oppressive silence.

It's always like this before a storm.

And for so many years, people always associate "brightness" with beauty, is this really the case?There are tens of thousands of lights in this world, some of which can warm the heart, while others can provoke flames.

The truly quiet and silent light can also be scary.

The stronger you are, the more afraid you are.

She didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and summoned the "Goddess of Light" who came from afar, but she had a vague premonition in her heart, which had been faintly present since the last time she saw Meng Xizhou ...

The woman's body exuded a bright aura that made her uncomfortable.

Perhaps because of his special physique, or perhaps because of his "extraordinary talent", even if Meng Xizhou walks in the long night, he will attract light fragments from all directions, and this is what makes Ziyu uneasy.

There is light.

She is the eyes of the "God Throne" of Xizhou.

If Meng Xizhou was allowed to go up to the second floor, wouldn't the situation of His Majesty be clearly seen?
For a moment her thoughts were in turmoil.

"Drip drip!"

The voice of the communicator suddenly sounded. It was a text message from Osmond and Lin Lin who were sitting in the main control boat.

With just a glance, Zi Yu's expression darkened.

……

……

When Zhu Xue brought Meng Xizhou to the castle, he was a little surprised. There was a lot of powerful extraordinary aura in the manor, which was surging like an undercurrent, and it was not covered up at all. The iron bars in the distance could even be seen. Seeing these stern figures standing like steel.

These extraordinary people are "exclusive forbidden troops" who only obey the imperial power of Beizhou. They are responsible for guarding the safety of the central city on weekdays. They will only be called here under certain special circumstances.

And there are only two people who have this authority.

One is his sister.

The other one... is the leader of the army who serves the castle.

Meng Xizhou also noticed these breaths.

Her demeanor is still calm, but her heart is not as calm as her expression...

Meng Xizhou was a little confused. If Her Majesty the Queen didn't want to see her, then she could keep the previous treatment without replying, and put it aside, waiting for Guangming City to send someone to bring her back.

But if they are willing to meet each other, why bother to make such a move?

Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen is still worried that she will do something unfavorable under the castle?

She glanced at Zhu Xue beside her, and found that there was also a hint of incomprehension in Lin Silk's eyes... The uneasiness in her heart was relieved a little.

"rumble……"

The last gate of the castle manor opened slowly.

The head of the Ziyu Army stood alone to respond, her face showed no sign of welcome, and she was standing at the passage leading to the second floor... No matter who came, she had to lead them personally if they wanted to go upstairs. This is one of the iron laws of Beizhou.

But at this moment, her position completely blocked the passage.

It doesn't look like there is going to be a "guidance".

"Lord Legionnaire."

Meng Xizhou smiled, bowed politely, and said, "If you want to arrest me, you don't have to go to such trouble. Just say something, and I'll 'fall into the trap'."

"How could I make a fake news?"

Zi Yu said expressionlessly: "It's true that His Majesty wants to see you...but it's also true that I dispatched the forbidden army to surround the castle."

This time.

Zhu Xue, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly: "Why do you end up here?"

He still doesn't understand what's going on.

"Your Excellency Osmond has sent a message." The head of the legion stared into Meng Xizhou's eyes and said word by word: "During the disaster, Grand Duke Meng Xiao of Zhenyue violated the iron law of Beizhou and openly killed his comrades. In addition... I also tried to summon the God of Light to descend, but ended in failure."

Lin Su was stunned.

This statement came out.

The temperature in the entire hall dropped suddenly.

This news is really shocking... 20 years ago, the relationship between Beizhou and Guangming City was very good. The previous Grand Duke Zhenyue fought for Beizhou in the fortress, so this hereditary "Grand Duke" was born.

It's a pity that the new Grand Duke Zhenyue doesn't seem to have much love for the territory of Beizhou.

Meng Xiao is the blessed son of Guangming City. He grew up in Xizhou since he was a child. It is more like a mission to succeed his father as the Grand Duke.

But no one thought of it.

He actually regarded all of this as a "task".

From the moment she told the news, Ziyu fixed her eyes on Meng Xizhou.

only.

She didn't see what she wanted from those pupils.

Meng Xizhou was also taken aback, she subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She fell silent.

The expression on his face also changed from astonishment and surprise to silence and dejection.

"I have reason to suspect that your motives for arriving in Central City are impure, and that your intentions to meet His Majesty are unlawful..."

Ziyu raised her voice, she was speaking to the person in the attic.

In fact, she knew that even if she whispered to herself, the person in the attic could still hear her clearly.

It's just that after learning the news of the disaster, she was really angry.

Raising your voice is more like a catharsis.

Standing not far away, Meng Xizhou silently endured the impact of the news, and after a long time said softly, "I'm sorry...I didn't know about this matter."

Zi Yu silently clenched her fists.

The crusade and restart of the Doru River disaster area can be regarded as a closely guarded secret by the Beizhou military.

Now that the Central City has run out of energy, Her Majesty the Queen is trapped by the furnace, internal and external troubles, Beizhou urgently needs to dig new available sources from the [Old World] to ensure that this "hanging city" can continue to burn.

Meng Xiao wanted to summon the God of Light to descend. Although this move was unsuccessful, it destroyed the long-established trust between the two parties!
The matter planned by the City of Light is so big, would the Goddess of Light really not know about it?
but……

After regaining his senses, the army commander knew that what Meng Xizhou said at this moment was probably the truth.

If she knew that such a thing would happen, how could she stay in Central City forever?

At this moment, the hall fell into a silent confrontation.

But the extraordinary aura in the manor gradually became denser and more orderly——

The imperial army in the central city has been assembled, and they can arrest the goddess of light on the spot just waiting for an order from the head of the army.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Right now.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there was a very light, very soft voice.

"Bring her up."
