The Path Toward Heaven

Deep in the Chaoge city wall, the forbidden formation responsible for providing vitality for the divine crossbow is operating as usual.

The reason why the Divine Crossbow did not attack the cloud boat sent by Zhongzhou was because there was some confusion on the high platform, and the guards on the city wall had not received any orders at all.

The Deputy Commander of the Qingtian Division has fallen into a pool of blood, his body is covered with scorched marks, he should have been killed by some kind of high-level thunder magic weapon, as for the blood holes in his chest and the Nascent Soul that has turned into green smoke, it is unknown who did it.

Gao Jingxiu colluded with outsiders, intending to destroy the forbidden formation, and has now been killed!

Gu Pan said in a deep voice to the officials in the audience, Everyone, please maintain the formation. As long as you receive the order from the palace, the divine crossbow will start attacking.

No one would doubt his words, because everyone had seen what Qing Tiansi's deputy commander Mr. Gao wanted to do, but people couldn't react for a while, thinking, isn't Commander Gu an outer disciple of the Zhongzhou Sect? He was the one who killed Gao Jingxiu?

Gu Pan gently rubbed his fingertips that were still smoking, and looked at the servant of the Ministry of Rites not far away.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was still pale, but Gu Pan knew that it was definitely not because of being frightened.

The blood hole in Gao Jingxiu's chest and the shattered Nascent Soul are all handwritten by this adult.

The two people's eyes met for a moment and then separated, without saying a word to each other.

So it's from the old forest. Gu Pan walked out, thinking silently in his heart.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites looked back at his back, thinking that you were a spy of the Zhongzhou faction. Who would have thought that you were a shutter-roller?

Gu Pan came to the stone steps outside the city wall from the secret door, glanced at the cloud boats in the starry sky, walked to the highest gate tower, saluted Zhang Yiai, the commander of the Qingtian Division, and said calmly, It's dealt with.

...

...

Blood was everywhere on the observatory, flowing down the stone steps.

A young man in green clothes went to the pile of corpses, and it took him a while to find Qin Tianzheng's corpse, he pulled his fingers and took out something from it.

...

...

Several generations of Zhan Guogongs have led the army in the Shenwei Army, and the government is extremely strict, but they can't do anything to their mother.

Many people were evacuated from Chaoge City today, but the old lady insisted on refusing to leave, saying that she would wait for her son from the palace to come back before leaving. Mrs. Guogong couldn't help the old man, she was so anxious and helpless, in the end it was Zhan Guogong's son who decided to stay and take care of his grandmother, so he persuaded his mother and the rest of the house to leave.

At this time, the old matriarch of the Duke's Mansion was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the roof, his body was heaving and heaving, and there was a hooting sound in his throat, but he couldn't speak.

Zhan Guogong's son was born with outstanding talents, and he looked very mature and stable. He failed to propose marriage to the Prime Minister's mansion back then, and it seemed that he had made some progress.

He sat on the edge of the bed, ignoring his distressed grandmother, and stretched his left hand under the quilt for a long time, finally touching something, with joy on his face.

The old lady felt it, her face flushed, and she forced out a sentence: Unfilial son!

I am your grandson, not your son. Zhan Guogong's son said with a smile, and walked out of the house with the thing.

The old matriarch was angry and impatient, she didn't catch her breath, her eyes widened and she lost her breath.

When he came outside the house, the son of Lord Zhan handed the things in his hand to Jingli, and said, Fortunately, it is not a disgrace.

Jing Li glanced at the room and asked, Do you want to help?

In his opinion, it was unacceptable for his grandson to kill his grandmother himself.

Anyway, it's the end of death. Zhan Guogong said with a smile.

Jing Li looked at him and said, I really regret that I offended you back then.

Zhan Guogong's son said seriously: Loyalty and filial piety can't be both, I have no choice but to be evil-hearted.

Then his expression changed, and he asked nervously, When will you detoxify me?

Jing Li said: That's the Southern Gu, there is no medicine to cure it, the Gu mother is in the hands of the imperial concubine, if your Majesty cannot ascend the throne smoothly, the empress must not want to live alone.

Zhan Guogong's son became even more nervous when he heard the words, thinking that if the imperial concubine wanted to die, she would definitely not be in the mood to save her life before she died, and said in a trembling voice, Do you want me to go into the palace to persuade my father? Or should I sneak attack him?

We can't influence the things in the palace. You just pray in the mansion that Duke Zhan will not move around in the palace.

After Jing Li finished speaking, she left Duke Zhan's mansion, and handed the thing in her hand to a guard officer.

...

...

The Forbidden Formation under the city wall, the observatory, Duke Zhan's Mansion... This kind of situation is happening in many places in Chaoge City.

The imperial city formation is composed of thirteen formations, and each formation has a formation eye, which may be a potted flower, or a life card, which are placed in thirteen places. This is the biggest secret of the Jing family. Except for the Emperor, no one knows where those formations are, at least it is impossible to know all of them.

Earlier, when Bai Zhenren said that the formation was about to start, there were signs that the formation in the imperial city would disperse. It was because some people holding the formation eyes were acting according to her will.

Now those people are all dead, and the formation eyes have been taken back by the palace.

This is what the God-Emperor is preparing for.

Even though he has been away for one night, he is still in control of this capital city and this imperial court.

Just like what he said to Master Bai, even if I leave, what can you do?

Yes, there are many people who are loyal to Yunmeng Mountain no matter whether it is the ministries, the Divine Guards or the aristocratic families. The Zhongzhou faction has prepared for today for many years, but how many years has the Emperor prepared? He has prepared for three hundred years, how could it be possible for the Zhongzhou faction to take control of Chaoge City overnight?

On the surface, the shutter man is an intelligence agency, but in fact, he has sneaked into every corner of the court silently, always ready to show his will.

More importantly, in the night in Chaoge City, there is another undercurrent that is helping the court.

The bloodbath of the observatory, and the burning of a certain family to ashes are all due to the power of that undercurrent.

Bulaolin used those assassins who had been hidden for many years, and those who hid the most deeply took action tonight.

Coupled with the method of the shutter-roller, the Zhongzhou faction was caught off guard for a while.

In the Mansion of the Minister of Rites, Qing'er looked at Yin San who was wearing the red clothes again, and asked a little puzzled: Don't you want the world to be in chaos? Why do you want to stop the Zhongzhou faction?

Yin San smiled and said: The Zhongzhou faction is very powerful, if they can quickly grasp the situation, how can there be chaos?

...

...

In the deepest part of the palace, in an unknown place, an unknown confrontation is taking place.

If people see the two sides confronting each other, they will be shocked and speechless, because those two people are gold priests and cow priests.

There was a slowly rotating white jade plate on the ground, which was emitting white light. As the light entered the air, it quickly dissipated without a trace, but it did not really disappear. Instead, it entered the entire imperial city along some invisible tracks. This is the most important eye of the imperial city formation.

When the God Emperor passed away, his two most trusted and closest priests were not around because they wanted to guard the formation here.

Jin Gongfeng never imagined that the person he had to guard against was his centuries-old partner. His eyes passed through those smoky white lights and fell on the wrinkled face of Niu Bing: You ask me why I sacrificed my talisman, what about you? Why do you always hide on my head in the Xuanyin, ready to fall at any time?

The confrontation has actually lasted for several hours. They put all their minds and breath on each other. Knowing how powerful and dangerous the other is, they dare not be distracted at all, but they never said a word.

Until this moment, perhaps thinking that His Majesty had left, or feeling a little bored, Niu Gongfeng took the risk to speak, and then waited for Jin Mingcheng's answer.

Niu Enshrin's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, Because you have a lot of irregular breathing today.

Jin Mingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, Aren't you from the Zhongzhou faction?

Niu Gongfeng was silent for a while, then said, No.

If Jin Mingcheng realized something, he said, So you are from the old forest.

The two relaxed their vigilance, at least they didn't have the idea of ​​dying with each other.

Niu Gongfeng suddenly said: I'm not from the old forest.

Jin Mingcheng squinted at him and said, Who will admit it?

...

...

The Great Formation of the Imperial City, which was about to be dispelled, suddenly regained its full power. What people could see with their eyes was that the circle of light that was fading and thinning suddenly became stronger again.

The frontmost Zhongzhou Pai cloud boat almost collided directly, and the bow of the ship rubbed against the blue light circle.

There was only a loud bang, and the stars all over the sky lost their color, and countless heaven and earth vitality rushed there violently, gushing out through the cyan light circle.

The cloud ship was rubbed a little, and the prow with the powerful formation was completely destroyed, revealing the structure inside, which looked very bleak.

Immediately afterwards, the divine crossbows at the southeast corner of Chaoge City were fired collectively, and more than a dozen jets shot at the cloud boat like flying swords.

Amidst the thunderous bang, more than a dozen fireworks burst out from the bottom of the cloud boat, and the damage was even more serious. It could no longer be used as a support, and it retreated towards the back of the night sky.

The number of those divine crossbows is not large, and the shooting positions are also very safe. It is obvious that they just want to give a slight warning and do not want to start a war.

Bu Qiuxiao and the scholars of Yi Mao Zhai were very surprised, they did not expect the imperial court to be so well prepared. The ministers in the palace had different expressions, some were happy, some were ashen, especially those dukes and generals who had their eyes hidden in their homes, their eyes were even more complicated.

So many people have died in Chaoge City, Jing Yao has not yet walked from the side hall to the throne.

This is probably the meaning of the emperor's one step, thousands of miles of blood.

He was still a few steps away from the chair.

at this time.

Just at this time.

A general standing at the forefront suddenly swung his right arm and slashed at Jing Yao from the air!

Xin Haichen, commander of the Northern God Guard.

One of the top figures in the military of the Jing Dynasty!

A few days ago, he was urgently called back to Beijing by His Majesty, and then stayed in the palace, not letting him leave.

He knew that His Majesty was suspicious of him, but for some reason, His Majesty did not execute him.

Now His Majesty is dead.

If Jing Yao is allowed to ascend the throne, how many more days can he live?

So he has to make a move.
