Old days in the box

Chapter 315 The first meeting after a thousand years

Jade World, Yujing Palace.

The white and transcendent dragon sat on the clouds, overlooking the small Steel Fire headquarters courtyard below.

Under the incomparable power of authority, all the artifacts in the entire Steel Fire Department lost their original mode of operation and began to obey her orders.

"Long, Lady Long!" Li Xianning was stunned for a few seconds, then remembered and knelt down to salute.

Since the White Jade Dragon Girl came to the world five thousand years ago and established the Jade World with the people here, this supreme god has been living in seclusion on Bailong Mountain and rarely shows up.

Except for the candidates of the past emperors who have been able to climb Bailong Mountain to receive her personal teaching for three years, almost no one in the jade world has really seen the true face of this lady dragon.

So when Li Xianning saw the Dragon Lady appearing in the sky above the Steel Fire Department, she didn't know how to react at the first moment.

"Li's Fiber Condensation, the Jade Realm has undergone a sudden change, and there is no time to waste. I need you to immediately dispatch all the military artifacts of the Steel Fire Department to Zixiao Pass to wait for orders. At the same time, activate the various layers of light barriers in the Jade Realm and enter a state of alert. "

The ethereal girl's voice continued to be heard from the air. The white dragon protecting the country stared at Li Xianning, who was as tiny as gravel below, and said something she didn't expect.

"Ms. Dragon Girl, why is this happening?" Li Xianning looked confused.

"I already know the plan that you and Chu Lihua have plotted to get out of seclusion. The Jade Realm has been practicing seclusion for five thousand years, but you secretly tried to break this policy and use troops outside. Now the consequences are backlash. It's up to you. Clean up the mess yourself.”

"Ms. Dragon Girl, the Emperor is just confused for a moment. I believe..."

"Chu Lihua is dead. She was assassinated at midnight yesterday. The assassin's whereabouts have not yet been found."

The white dragon in the cloud interrupted Li Xianning's defense and suddenly told her a shocking fact that she had not expected.

Chu Lihua, the current emperor of the Jade World, was assassinated at the foot of Bailong Mountain a few hours ago. The government and the public were shocked for a moment, and the news was immediately spread to the White Jade Dragon Girl who had been sleeping in seclusion on Bailong Mountain.

While Li Xianning was directing the Steel and Fire Department to support Yuan Wuyou all night long, the White Jade Dragon Girl had already left Bailong Mountain and officially took over this event that caused a sensation in the court. At the same time, she quickly figured out the various reasons behind this.

At this time, Li Xianning recalled that the bachelors of the department had said since last night that the emperor had not responded to their report. Could it be that the news of the emperor's murder had been blocked since then?

If Lady White Jade Dragon hadn't said this kind of thing herself, she would never believe it.

The Jade Realm is located in the far east, blocked by the huge Spine of the World Mountains. It already has a natural advantage. In addition, the Jade Realm is full of warning and surveillance manufacturing institutions. It is difficult to imagine that any assassin can be there. Got it here.

Unless the person sent to carry out the assassination is some extraordinary person from the Byzantine Empire - such as the envoy of the Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess.

"Is it revenge from the Byzantine Empire?" Li Xianning asked hurriedly. At this moment, she indirectly heard so many sudden changes that she couldn't react.

"The identity of the assassin has not yet been determined, but there are indeed traces of divinity at the scene." The huge white dragon rolled its body and stared at her with its golden dragon eyes. "Now you should understand why I came to summon you in person. Alright."

"You and Chu Lihua listened to the slander and were instigated by the people of the old faith to start a war. In order to realize their own ambitions, they put hundreds of millions of living beings in the Jade World at risk of war. But now, the consequences have already emerged."

Although the white jade dragon girl's voice was pure and ethereal, it echoed in the sky like a voice of judgment, making Li Xianning hold his breath and almost didn't dare to raise his head.

Logically speaking, this matter should not have developed to this point anyway.

Although the True Lord Bingrong who came from the ocean did lobby a lot for the emperor, the Emperor was also the emperor's talent who stood out from a large number of royal children. How could she not see that the true Lord Bingrong and the old beliefs What are you planning?

In the final analysis, the strategy of exiting the border is actually a game in which both sides have a clear mind, and in this matter, Yujie has always been the one who has the initiative.

The emperor sent Yuan Wuyou out of seclusion in secret. If Yuan Wuyou verified that the Byzantine Empire was not worth sending troops, this incident could be treated as if it never happened and she could return to the Jade Realm as usual. Even if Yuan Wuyou verified that Byzantium was extremely weak, Jade World does not have to send troops immediately, the final decision is still in the hands of the emperor. From beginning to end, it was the Old Faith that wanted to spread chaos in Byzantium, and it was the Old Faith that wanted to cause rebellion in Byzantium.

The role played by Jade World in this process has always been just a fisherman waiting for the opportunity to harvest both cranes and clams.

It was precisely because he could always occupy such a good initiative that the emperor agreed to this exit strategy.

But who could have imagined that the situation would take such a sudden and huge turn, and that the emperor would be assassinated in his own capital city in the Jade Realm.

The emperor is the head of a country. He represents the mortal king in the Jade World's human-dragon co-governance system. As soon as the emperor dies, there is no turning back. There must be a battle between the Jade World and Byzantium.

"Xianning knows her crime and is willing to be punished by the court and Lady Longnu." Li Xianning lowered his head deeply, not daring to defend himself.

"Punishment cannot undo what has happened. This matter will be discussed later. The most important thing at the moment is how to respond." Bailong said lightly, and there was no emotion in his words.

"Then what should I do?" Xianning understood what Lady Longnu meant and immediately volunteered.

"Listen, I have asked the emperor of this generation to choose Shunjun of the Chu family to urgently take over the position of emperor, stabilize the court and arrange follow-up arrangements. And you, after dispatching the artifacts to guard Zixiaoguan, you must take your place as soon as possible. The Yuan clan who was sent out will be brought back without worry."

"Understood, Lady Longnu, what about Bailong Mountain? Do we need to leave part of the industrial machinery to guard this place?"

"No need, I won't return to Bailong Mountain for the time being." The white dragon in the sky began to curl its body, causing the clouds to rise into the sky. "I want to visit the originator of this matter first to see what the explanation is for this old belief. .”

Only then did Li Xianning hear a hint of anger in her voice. It turned out that she had been suppressing the anger in her heart.

The Jade World has been ruled by humans and dragons for five thousand years. Even during the war with the Byzantine Empire, the Jade World has never had an emperor assassinated.

This unexpected incident really made the White Jade Dragon Girl very angry.

This white dragon with a corner exposed from the sky retracted its head, and its huge body curled up deep in the clouds. It once again turned over and soared high into the sky, flying to the west with continuous magnetic storms.

Ever since she left the God of Door Keys and came to the Atrium from the dwarf country of Svartalfheim, she truly found her home in this small far east place.

She used the power of steel in her hands to teach the people here extraordinary casting techniques, and gave them the power to forge concepts and smelt metal, allowing them to rise from this land and become a great nation.

None of this is done for vanity or to be worshiped as gods by these mortals.

Just to protect a peaceful land that belongs to her, to make up for the blow left by the gods when they left.

But now, this old belief from the ocean actually broke the tranquility of the Jade World, and even introduced powerful enemies from the outside into the Jade World. This really made her feel indignant.

Deep in the roaring sky, the white dragon shuttled through lightning with the power of steel authority, preparing to fly to the western half of Europe where the old beliefs were concentrated.

But as soon as she penetrated deep into the clouds, the wind and thunder began to stir uncontrollably, as if something was approaching from the void.

An absolute divine suppression airborne over her head, and as the familiar divine power unfolded, a spatial crack spread out of thin air like a crack, surrounding her huge dragon body in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the door to space had completely swallowed her up. At the other end, a familiar god was already waiting for her.

The god in charge of all spaces and doors, the first master served by the White Jade Dragon Girl, Sun Hao, the god of door keys.
