Chapter 246: Destroying the Heaven (18)

The heavy snow turned into mist in the air, filled with smoke and fog, and the fire spread rapidly, burning the entire northern sky red. From afar, it seemed as if the north of the city had been swallowed up.

If it was just a fire in a civilian's house, it wouldn't have spread so quickly in such a heavy snow...

The chief eunuch felt cold sweat on his back when he thought of Emperor Qu's abnormal behavior today.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

There was a sudden commotion not far away.

The eunuch turned around suddenly and saw that there was a fire in the northwest corner of the palace.

In a flash, he realized that it must be Emperor Qu who ordered the patient to be burned to death!

After the epidemic began to appear in Qudu, Emperor Qu gathered all the people in the Royal Garden in the north of the city for treatment. At first, he received some praise, but he didn't expect...

The eunuch thought again, the epidemic is very ferocious, if it cannot be controlled, the whole capital will suffer, it would be better to burn it down as soon as possible. This is also a helpless act to cut off the tail in order to survive.

However, he did not feel reassured for long as he discovered fires all over the city and the palace, and even the area under the observatory was on fire.

"Quick! Someone come and protect the emperor!" the eunuch exclaimed.

After a long while, no one responded.

The chief eunuch hurried to help Emperor Qu: "Your Majesty! There is a fire below! Let's go down to the observatory quickly! In case the fire spreads up..."

"Hahaha!" Qu Di laughed loudly, pushed him away, clapped the railing to keep the rhythm, and actually hummed a song.

The eunuch froze, a terrible thought popping up in his mind - Is His Majesty crazy and wants to burn down Qudu? !

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Let's go down quickly!"

The flames rolled up, the eunuch coughed a few times, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Smoke and water vapor enveloped the entire observatory, and the outside world could no longer be seen. He was right behind Emperor Qu, and as long as he stretched out his hand and pushed... no one would know.

If it were in the past, he would certainly not dare to have such an idea, because Emperor Qu was a martial artist, and he had grandmasters hiding in the dark to guard him. However, things are different now. Emperor Qu has been bedridden since the beginning of autumn, and is now so weak that he is out of breath after climbing a few steps. And those grandmasters must have been sent out to do other things, otherwise it would be impossible for them not to come to rescue him for so long!
Quickly assessing the situation, the eunuch suddenly reached out and pushed Emperor Qu on the back.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qu reacted faster. He dodged and grabbed his neck, his bloodshot eyes emitting murderous intent: "You want to harm me too!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" The chief eunuch was terrified, but his strong desire to survive made his mind exceptionally clear at this moment, "I, your servant... saw that Your Majesty did not respond, so I wanted to pull Your Majesty away from the observatory!"

Emperor Qu was lost in thought just now and indeed did not notice whether the chief eunuch wanted to push or pull, but that did not matter now.

He let go of the eunuch: "In consideration of your service, I will let you go."

"Cough, cough, cough!" The eunuch's legs went weak and he fell to his knees, not daring to walk.

He had served Emperor Qu for nearly fifty years and knew him too well. If he really tried to leave, he would surely die on the spot.

The fire was blown inside by the wind, burning people's faces and causing stinging pain. The thick smoke entered their lungs, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Emperor Qu was completely unaware of this and looked up as if trying to see the once prosperous capital through the smoke.

The chief eunuch heard the footsteps and looked up slightly. Seeing Emperor Qu walking away, he gritted his teeth, stood up and ran quickly towards the stairs.

He rolled and crawled all the way down the Observatory before he realized that Emperor Qu had actually let him go! For a moment, he felt a little guilty, but it was quickly dispelled by the abnormality in front of him.

It was eerily quiet all around.

The fire was so big, but apart from the brief noise at the beginning, there seemed to be no other noise.

what happened? !
The eunuch stumbled towards the palace gate and passed through Ronghua Palace. He tripped over something and stumbled. When he looked closely, he saw countless corpses lying in a pool of blood, including Yulin Guards and palace servants.

call out!
There was a sound of breaking wind, and the eunuch felt a chill in his heart. He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he saw an arrow piercing his chest. Bright red blood flowed out along the arrow head, dripping onto the snow.

He turned around and saw a vague black figure, who seemed to be one of the Grandmaster's secret guards beside Emperor Qu.

The chief eunuch finally understood that Emperor Qu wanted to cremate the entire Qu Capital.

The fire burned the snowflakes into raindrops, some fell down, some turned into water mist, and the solidified snow began to flow.

The eunuch fell to the cold ground. He could feel the water flowing through his body, taking away the warmth from his body. His vision gradually became blurred.

He remembered the young man who had vowed to him: Banban, when you are old, I will buy a big house in Qudu to accommodate you in your old age!
He also secretly swore in his heart that he would be loyal to the boy for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately everything changed later...

The young man became the supreme emperor, and the warmth of a human being was gradually stripped away from him, and he finally turned into a madman.

The chief eunuch couldn't understand why Emperor Qu wanted to bury the entire capital with him when the situation was clearly not hopeless!
With questions that he would never be able to figure out, he stared at the raging fire and took his last breath.

"It's a meteor shower!"

Dongfang Zhentian exclaimed.

Bai Xuexing suddenly stood up from the stone platform, staring at the stars falling from the sky, shocked.

The spiritual energy beside him fluctuated, and the figure of Master Xuanying appeared beside him: "What is the omen?"

Bai Xuexing said: "The main star has fallen! Emperor Qu is dead!"

Such a sudden change made Shi Xuanying stunned for a moment: "How could he die so suddenly?"

"The celestial phenomena are too chaotic to predict right now." Bai Xuexing spread out his hands and handed Shi Xuanying a white porcelain bottle. "I guess it's probably related to the epidemic."

Shi Xuanying took the medicine bottle, opened it and took a look: "Is this the antidote?"

"Yes, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission." Bai Xuexing finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This epidemic is a poison, and this poison is definitely not something that modern cultivators can control. I suspect Liu Shuji has inherited the legacy of some great power in ancient times."

"Uncle Master!"

Shi Xuanying was about to speak but was interrupted.

Jiang Chuixing ran over in a hurry: "General Xiao fainted!"

Shi Xuanying's face turned stern, and she immediately pulled Bai Xuexing and left with Jiang Chuixing.

"Why did he faint out of nowhere?" Although she asked this, Shi Xuanying already had some guesses in her mind.

Emperor Qu's early death affects the progress of the entire world line. Xiao Hongfan's obsession and the way of heaven are both embodied in the Red Blood Flag, and will inevitably be implicated.

Jiang Chuixing said: "I don't know. She was secretly arranging the battle with several generals when she fainted without any warning."

The three of them walked very fast and arrived at Xiao Hongfan's tent in the blink of an eye.

As a medical practitioner, Bai Xuexing was the first to step forward to check the situation.

Shi Xuanying stood behind and saw that Xiao Hongfan was relatively normal, except that his brows were furrowed, as if he was experiencing some pain.

Bai Xuexing carefully checked it several times and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before saying, "It's fine, he just fell asleep."

General Shao was surprised and couldn't help asking, "She was still energetic before she fainted, how could she be asleep?"

"The Taoist priest is the most powerful doctor in the world. If he says he is asleep, he must be asleep. General Shao, don't worry too much." Shi Xuanying changed the subject and said, "The Taoist priest has already made an antidote for the epidemic. With this antidote, our army will be unstoppable. General Shao, why don't you go and discuss with Prime Minister Chen how to make the layout. You all go and do your own things. I'll be here."

General Shao's attention was diverted, and he looked at Bai Xuexing to confirm: "Really?"

"Yes, everyone please follow me." Bai Xuexing said.

After everyone left, Shi Xuanying sat on the edge of the bed and pointed at Xiao Hongfan's forehead.
