Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1319 Bad news

Lightning struck down, illuminating the pale faces of the four people at the door.

Looking at the Jinwu Guard with the Qinglong flag on his back galloping through the empty downtown, Zhao Guang felt a rumble in his ears.

"What did he... just say?"

The king of the Northern Wei Dynasty... died?

really?
As if responding to his doubts, a death knell rang in the direction of the Soochow Palace in the distance.

When, when, when, when...

In the sound of the death knell resounding through Ruyang City, the doors of common people's houses that had been closed due to the thunderstorm opened one by one.

The four of them stood at the gate of Shi'an Courtyard like this, watching the doors on the street open one by one, revealing panicked faces.

The death knell rang one after another, and it took a quarter of an hour to stop.

"32 sounds..."

Zhao Guang murmured.

The number is half of that of the princes and kings of the country when they died.

Now that the six countries in the Great Wall have become independent, there is no need to ring the bell when the king of another country dies, but Zhao Guang understands that Zhao Muren followed the tradition of the Great Qin Empire when it was still alive, and sent condolences for the old king he respected .

The king who can make Zhao Muren do this is probably only Yeluhong, the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in today's Shanhai Continent.

It is hard to say that Yeluhong is a good person. He is headstrong and has a strong wrist. The government order to persecute female cultivators after the death of Da Siming is even more contemptible.

But as the leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty who has been resisting Xirong until now, he was indeed the god of the north when he was alive.

As the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty whose territory was directly adjacent to Xirong, Yeluhong had a much heavier burden than other kings from the beginning.

Although it is not entirely his merit, during Yeluhong's reign, Xirong did not break through the defense line of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Even after the collapse of the Great Qin Empire, Yeluhong did not put the Xirong people in other countries, and still chose to resist the Xirong people with the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty alone.

Other southern countries also enjoyed a rare peace.

Hearing the death knell still echoing in his ears, Zhao Guang's mood was extremely complicated.

"The king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it seems that he really passed away."

In Ruyang City, more and more people took to the streets.

Looking at the dark clouds above his head, Ji Jiashu worried about the situation of Nanchu. He wondered if his father still got the news at this time, and how would Nanchu deal with the funeral of the Northern Wei Dynasty?
At this time, he finally understood why Ying Baoyue rushed to the door recklessly when the thunder struck before. I'm afraid she had a premonition from the very beginning.

"You guessed it beforehand?"

Li Ji walked up to Ying Baoyue and looked into her eyes.

"That's right." Ying Baoyue supported the door frame, quietly watching the thunder clouds above her head, "The winter thunder is rolling, and the Xuanwu God is restless, which proves that something happened to someone who the northern gods care about."

"I originally thought it was Xu Canghai, but now that I think about it, the disaster will last for a thousand years, so he won't die so easily."

Xu Canghai may indeed be in trouble now, but this trouble should not have anything to do with his life.

As a son-in-law, he was able to ascend to the position of the Northern Wei State Teacher. That man has faced countless swords, lights and swords, and he is not so easy to be killed.

Ying Baoyue was originally worried that someone would attack Xuanwu God directly, but only then did she realize that besides Xu Canghai, there was another person who could make Xuanwu God mourn so much.

That is Yeluhong, king of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he also had a close relationship with Xuanwu God.

It was Yeluhong who had the accident.

"The king of the Northern Wei Dynasty should be over sixty years old." Zhao Guang was still in a daze, thinking of Yeluhong's age, and murmured, "This is considered a joyous death."

After all, the king is short-lived, but Yeluhong has already lived a long life.

"Is that really the case?" Ying Baoyue asked softly.

Accompanied by her faint voice, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, and Ying Baoyue stretched out his hand to pull both Li Ji and Zhao Guang under the eaves.

The torrential rain curtain seemed to separate the four of them from the surrounding world. Looking at Ying Baoyue's bright and clear eyes under the rain curtain, Zhao Guang suddenly shuddered.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't you think the news came at such a coincidence?" Ying Baoyue watched the raindrops falling like beads, "Just as the high-level ceremony was about to be held, the whereabouts of Xu Canghai and others suddenly disappeared, and then the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty passed away. .”

"Yeluhong's health is indeed not good, but there was no news that he was seriously ill before."

The death of the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty was almost like a sudden death.

If it wasn't for Yeluhong himself being old enough, more people would doubt him.

"But maybe the Northern Wei Palace concealed the news that the Northern Wei King was seriously ill?" Zhao Guang himself had the information. Although there was no direct news of the Northern Wei King's serious illness, there were indeed many more open and secret battles in the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years. There are signs that Yeluhong's body is indeed not as good as before.

"Maybe," Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, "But I still think the timing of the Northern Wei King's death is too coincidental."

She opened her mouth lightly.

"I don't know if the news of the Northern Wei King's serious illness was concealed, but the news of his death should have been concealed."

Zhao Guang opened his eyes wide, "What?"

Li Ji glanced at Ying Baoyue, "You mean that day?"

Ying Baoyue nodded.

Ji Jiashu then exhaled, "I see."

"When? What's the matter?"

Zhao Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this, why did the three understand each other without saying anything?
This made him feel like a fool, can these three be more friendly to ordinary people?
"If I'm not mistaken, the day when the Northern Wei king really died was the day when Xu Canghai disappeared with the Northern Wei team."

Ying Baoyue spoke quietly.

Zhao Guang's eyes widened a little bit, and suddenly he felt that things that he couldn't figure out before were strung together.

Back then, in order to control the Son of God, Emperor Taizu passed the curse technique to the princes and kings of various countries. There are prohibitions and curses between the king and the national teacher. If the Northern Wei king dies, he will pass on the curse of controlling the national teacher to the next Northern Wei king. However, if there is a transfer in the middle, or if the transfer fails and the curse disappears directly, Xu Canghai will definitely notice it.

To put it bluntly, there is a thread-like thing between the king of a country and the teacher of the country. If the other end of the thread is replaced or the thread is broken, no matter where the other end is, you will be aware of it immediately.

Xu Canghai must have learned of the death of the King of the Northern Wei Dynasty immediately.

"Then Xu Guoshi hid his tracks in order to hurry back to the capital?"

Zhao Guang gasped.

The king passed away, but the national teacher was not in the palace. One can imagine how chaotic the Northern Wei palace would be now.

"It's hard to say," Ying Baoyue still refuted his words, she looked at the lines on her palm and said quietly, "Maybe he is running for his life now."

"What?" Zhao Guang was almost taken aback.

Xu Canghai, being hunted down?

This is too incredible, what happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty?
"It should have been almost a week since Xu Canghai disappeared," Ying Baoyue said lightly, "The reason why the Northern Wei Dynasty will announce the death of the king today is probably because the celestial phenomenon is too abnormal to hide it."

It may also be that Xu Canghai no longer appeased the Xuanwu God, and released a notice to the whole continent through such methods.

Because of the existence of practitioners, there are various ways to exchange news on the Shanhai Continent. These seven days were not delayed by the news on the road, but deliberately concealed by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Northern Wei has concealed the death of the lord for at least a week," Ying Baoyue looked at Zhao Guang, "His Royal Highness, as a member of the royal family, under what circumstances do you think the people in the palace would conceal the death of the lord?"

Zhao Guang's heart shrank, as if seeing blood all over the sky.

He has understood.

Before his death, Yeluhong did not have time to establish a prince.

Lao Wang passed away and kept it secret.

This means that the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty may be...

Fight for the throne.
