That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 612 Thunder Between Heaven and Earth

Suddenly, there was a loud bang that resounded throughout the sky.

This is real thunder.

It seems that the catastrophe is coming, even if you are invincible in the world, what can you do under the majestic way of heaven?

Sapphire turned to look.

A horizontal thunder was approaching the Circular Mound Altar.

Its attack was so fierce that the vitality of the heavens and the earth began to twist continuously under the might of the sky.

Sapphire, who hadn't made a move in person for many years, took a step forward, and her not tall body once again stood in front of her student, shielding him from the wind and rain again.

Sapphire stretched out a hand, and two "big fish" flew out from his sleeve, one black and one white, which seemed ethereal and ethereal.

Two big fish slowly rotated around Sapphire's palm, connected end to end, yin and yang intertwined, just like a black and white shield.

The horizontal thunder crashed into the "shield".

There was no loud sound that broke the eardrums, it was silent, but countless blue lights were born, and then swept in all directions like a flood that opened the gate.

The sky and the earth are all blue.

Except for the monks in the realm of the earth fairy, everyone else had to cover their eyes with their hands and couldn't see anything.

After a while, the blue light disappeared.

Sapphire looked down solemnly, her sleeves were all torn, and her palms were scorched black.

Xiao Xuan turned out from behind Lan Yu calmly, and said softly: "People who come from the Taoist sect are not good."

Lan Yu said in a deep voice: "As long as Qiuye and Chenye are not in person, no one else should worry about it, but Qingchen has not shown up for a long time, so people have to guard against it."

Xiao Xuan said calmly: "It's like playing chess. Some people like to seize the upper hand, and some people are good at playing in the middle game. No matter how powerful Qing Chen is, he is alone. He can't shake the whole world. As the teacher said just now, the ones who really should be on guard It's still Xiao Jin and Lin Han's army."

Lan Yu looked in the direction of Zhili Prefecture, hesitated, and said: "I remember, after His Majesty ordered Qu Chang'an to garrison Bohai Mansion, he specially sent Han Xuan and Zhao Qing to inspect the Chinese army."

Xiao Xuan hummed, and said: "The Central Army, that is, the old team who used to follow the father to fight the world, is the most elite division of my Daqi. I put them here, naturally to prevent Lin Han and Wei Jin from directly attacking the world. The army is invading."

Lan Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "I don't know if Your Majesty has ever thought about it, if there is a change in the Chinese army, then wouldn't Your Majesty be in a situation where there will be no redemption?"

Xiao Xuan was silent for a while, and asked back: "Why?"

Lan Yu said word by word: "Just because of Qu Chang'an's embarrassment, if it's okay in peacetime, at this time, this person may delay the big event."

Xiao Xuan was noncommittal, but sighed: "Teacher, you see everything clearly, but you never mentioned a word to me. Don't you think it's too late to say it until now?"

Lan Yu said expressionlessly: "Even if the old minister said it in advance, will His Majesty listen to it?"

At this moment, Xiao Xuan showed the ruthlessness and indifference of an emperor, and said softly: "It's one thing if I don't listen, but it's another thing if the teacher doesn't say anything."

Sapphire could only give a forced smile helplessly.

The child who was about to be slapped in the palm of his hand back then has become an emperor who knows his destiny in a blink of an eye. In a few years, he will enter his sixtieth year, and he can be considered an old man. The suspicion and suspicion that an old emperor should have, He will have none of it.

Then again, he, Sapphire, is really getting old.

Under the Circular Mound Altar.

A gallop came galloping, and after checking his identity, he passed through the army of the emperor and came to the camp of military officers headed by the governor Wei Jin.

This ride brought a piece of news that silenced all the military officers. Qu Chang'an, the left governor of the Chinese army, was leading an army straight to the Circular Mound Altar.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Tong, who had just recovered from his serious injury, couldn't help but ask, "What is Qu Chang'an going to do? Who gave him the order to dispatch troops?"

One of the governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion asked softly: "Could it be that you have followed His Majesty's secret decree?"

Wei Jin said in a deep voice: "If you want to transfer troops, there is no need for Your Majesty to bypass the Governor's Mansion."

Wei Wuji, the right governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, frowned, and said, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's secret decree, what is Qu Changan's intention in doing this?"

Zhou Tong sneered and said, "Naturally, he is in cahoots with these rebels and wants to force the palace to kill the king."

Wei Jin shook his head and said, "Qu Chang'an doesn't have the courage, there must be something hidden in it."

Zhou Tong still wanted to speak, but Wei Jin raised his hand to stop him and said, "Whether it is a secret decree or not, as long as the governor reports the matter to His Majesty, we will know."

After finishing speaking, Wei Jin turned around and walked towards the Circular Mound Altar.

When Wei Jin came to the top of the Circular Mound Altar, Sapphire stepped aside.

After Wei Jin saluted respectfully, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Qu Chang'an, the left governor of the Central Army, is leading an army straight to the Circular Mound Altar. I wonder if it was ordered by His Majesty?"

Xiao Xuan said expressionlessly: "I have never made such a decree."

There was a sudden silence on the Circular Mound Altar, only the sound of howling wind remained.

After a long time, Wei Jin said slowly: "Since His Majesty did not have such an order, then Qu Chang'an deployed troops privately and acted recklessly."

Hearing this sentence, the emperor didn't react at all, but turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhili Prefecture.

After a while, the emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the two old officials, one civil and one military, in front of him, and said calmly, "Teacher, you really got what you said."

Sapphire laughed at herself and didn't speak.

In Xiaoweiyang Palace.

Empress Xu sat on the phoenix seat next to the dragon chair, and Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhinan separated from each other.

Xu Beiyou stood guard in front of the main hall door alone, and stood the sword box in front of himself.

This place was not disturbed by the vision of heaven and earth, the wind and snow were howling, but it was not within three feet of Xu Beiyou.

In addition, there are three hundred heavy armor guards outside the hall.

Xiao Bai left Xiao Zhinan to accompany Empress Xu, came to Xu Beiyou's side and stood side by side, looking at the heavy snow outside the door, "Nangui, you don't have to stick around here."

Xu Beiyou nodded, but stopped talking.

Knowing what Xu Beiyou was thinking, Xiao Bai smiled and said, "My mother's side, as I have already said, the past is all trivial. At this moment, we still have to put aside the past and focus on the overall situation."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "Beiyou is not a person who doesn't know the importance, let alone care about this matter, it's just that His Majesty entrusts the responsibility, so I dare not be negligent."

Xiao Bai said in a deep voice: "Are you worried about those gangsters and thieves?"

Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "As far as I know, there is not only one Xiao Lin in the Ghost King's Palace, but also four other masters of Earth Immortals. Only Xiao Lin took action at the Circular Mound Altar. I don't know where these four people are hiding. No defense."

Xiao Bai hummed.

Xu Beiyou went on to say: "In the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty, there are many masters. Even if you exclude those who stayed behind in the imperial capital, there are enough earth immortal masters accompanying you this time, but Taiyi has already taken action to save Ku Tianzun, so it is inevitable that there will be no other sects. Experts are also involved, so His Majesty needs more manpower, if there is an enemy attacking Xiaoweiyang Palace, I am afraid that His Highness and I can only fight against the enemy."

Xiao Bai said with a smile: "Nangui don't worry, I'm not a weak person who can't lift a sword, I also fought with the governor from the battlefield in my early years."

Xu Beiyou smiled lightly.

I don't know if it was because Xu Beiyou's words were too unlucky, but not long after he finished speaking, both his and Xiao Bai's expressions changed slightly.

Xiao Bai held down the hilt of the sword at his waist, while Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to hold down the sword case in front of him.

After a while, two figures could be vaguely seen walking towards Xiaoweiyang Palace in the boundless wind and snow.
