I have a big problem with my past life

Chapter 213 Prisoners in the Imperial City
"I would like to inform the emperor that at noon today, the Western Demon General has led the army to set off. According to the itinerary, he will arrive at Baihumen in two days. As for the other three Demon Generals, they are also preparing to set off with the army, but it should be better than the Western Demon General. Sir, it will take about two days to arrive at the royal city."

In the brightly lit hall, a general dressed in armor knelt down at the bottom of the long steps made of white jade, facing the majestic figure sitting on the throne behind the bead curtain, which was out of sight. Sound reports.

"Gu knows, let's get back."

Such a response came from behind the bead curtain, and the general bowed and exited the hall upon hearing this.

After exiting the palace gate, he dared to raise his head and glanced at the figure behind the bead curtain.

Although the emperor has been living in seclusion and rarely showing his face since the initial establishment of the world, his majesty is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when he entered the palace to report things, the general never dared to look up from the beginning to the end.

Looking back now, even though separated by the bead curtain, only a faint figure can be seen.

In the empty hall, the always alone figure on the emperor's throne in the hall seemed extremely lonely and desolate.

Just glanced at it, as if he was afraid of offending the emperor, the general didn't dare to look more and quickly withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

At the same time, a terrible thought that a minister shouldn't have popped up in his mind——

Even though Lord Dijun owns the world, he looks really pitiful, like a prisoner, and the cage is this exquisite and luxurious imperial city.

As soon as a thought came to him, he shook his head abruptly to get rid of this distracting thought from his mind. After all, it is a serious crime to be disrespectful to the emperor.

But in his heart, he was also a little uneasy. The emperor suddenly became uncharacteristic these few days, and began to sit on the emperor's throne behind the bead curtain to govern in person. This obviously made many interested people see that something was wrong, and he felt like the wind and rain were about to come. .

But now even the four major demon generals guarding the Quartet have come out in full force, mobilizing the brigade to rush towards the king city, which is more than enough to illustrate the seriousness of the matter.

All this is enough to show that this time the invasion by the evil spirits from outside the sky is not as easy as the rumors outside.

Compared to the people above the court who were panicked, the people living in the royal city were not much moved, and the people's hearts were very stable. After all, in their eyes, as long as the emperor was still there, even if those evil spirits from outside the sky came back, it would not be enough. fear.

"Hey, I hope that the emperor can revive the unworldly glory of the past, and lead the people of the world to overcome this difficulty just like in the past."

Looking at the upside-down galaxy in the night, the worried general whispered in his heart, like those ordinary people in the royal city who don't understand the situation, they put all their hopes on this emperor.

……

……

The night is cold as water.

It was already the dead of night, and even though the entire imperial city was brightly lit, there was a sense of death and a lack of vitality.

After the emperor pacified the troubled times, he has been living in the imperial city, unlike other emperors who pursued enjoyment for a hundred years after owning the world. This emperor has been in power for so many years, except for some necessary chores in the palace. Even the guards are few and far between, and as for the maids who serve food and daily life, they are even more pitifully few, and can be counted with two hands.

Moreover, these maids usually entertain foreign ministers, and the emperor always likes to be quiet, so there is not a single servant around him.

On the star picking platform in the imperial city, a man in a golden robe and a golden mask sat alone on the high platform, bathed in the bright starlight, and fell into a long silence facing the boundless night above his head.

This person is naturally the Emperor.

Back then when the world was flat and he ascended to the throne of God in the support of all people, the first decree he promulgated was to order people to build this towering tower like a cloud. Standing on it, it was as if one could pick up the stars with one's hand. It is the origin of the name of the platform for picking stars.

Everyone knows that this star-picking platform is to commemorate the emperor who died in the war. It is said that when the world was conquered, the emperor had an agreement with the emperor. The high platform allows her who likes the stars to watch the stars.

Therefore, during the construction of the Star Picking Platform, those people who felt the merits of the emperor and the empress came forward to help spontaneously regardless of rewards, and contributed as much as they could.

However, there is one person in this world who knows that the reason for building this star picking platform is not what the outside world rumored.

The reason why this star-picking platform was built was to make that person closer to his hometown.

At this time, the emperor sitting high on the star picking platform looked at the deep night in front of him, and his eyes seemed to contain something as deep and bottomless as the night in front of him.

"Recently, those demons in the sky outside the sky have changed again."

In the evening wind, there was such a whisper.

The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke at this moment, and his tone was very gentle. Although there was no one under the night in front of him, it was as if he was talking to another close person.

"This time, these extraterrestrial demons seem to have a big intention, which is different from the previous sporadic invasions, which makes me very uneasy."

Although there was no response, the emperor was still talking to himself.

"If you were still here, things would be much easier. After all, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas, and you can definitely handle everything perfectly. Now I am the only one left, and I really don't know what to do."

"But don't worry, no matter what happens, I will guard this land that you bought with your life, and I will never allow them to come and destroy it again!"

When this sentence was said, the air was full of murderous aura.

After a while, the murderous aura on Dijun dissipated, and he said softly again: "Forget it, let's tell you something happy."

"Recently, the purple spirit trees in the capital are in bloom. The scene is really beautiful. I really want you to take a look. After all, you used to like this kind of flower the most."

"Also, Xiao Hei didn't know why recently. He used to always like to do evil and get into trouble. Recently, he seemed to have become a good person, and suddenly became very obedient and quiet. At first, I was so scared that I thought he was sick. , After careful inspection, I found that it is in good health and is still alive and kicking. Speaking of which, I am not used to it without its mischievous nature.”

"By the way, do you still remember the concentric tree that the two of us planted together when you left? You told me at that time that we will meet again when this tree blooms. Although I thought you were deceiving me at that time, just like you have defrauded me countless times before, in my opinion, you were worried that I would go with you after you left, so you specially left me a thought."

"Although I think you are lying to me, I have watered and taken good care of this concentric tree every day for ten thousand years, even if it is just a dead tree, because after all, this is the only thing you left me. A relic. I thought that even after 10 years and millions of years, the dead tree would still be a dead tree, never budding and blooming. sprouts, and in just a few days, the growth is very gratifying, and now they have formed small flower buds."

"Look at this, it's only a matter of a few days to bloom, it's just... where are you?"

The starlight on the star picking platform is like frost, and the evening wind is whimpering.

Suddenly at this time, the night above the head seemed to be pierced, accompanied by a loud noise that resounded through the sky and the earth, the whole night was as bright as day.

A white awn that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth pierced the sky and fell towards the inner city.

The emperor, who was sitting on the platform for picking stars, stared at the white light with a peerless aura.

"boom!"

In an instant, the white glow fell from the sky, and with a loud noise, the earth trembled.

Dijun stood up and flew towards the place where the white light fell not far away, wanting to see what it was.
