King of Glory: Brother, let's have dinner

Chapter 156 Rumors Spread
"I don't know, the city gate was closed by Master Mozi."

But the order was given by the empress, and Master Mozi would not close the city gate for no reason.

Gu Nian wondered if it had something to do with the Great Wall.

But they will not sit still, Kayn has already made a move, and the magic blade slashed at the city gate.

Extreme Blade Storm!

The marks made by the sword blade, like a hurricane, rushed towards the city gate at a very fast speed. For a while, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands, because when the extreme blade storm came out, the huge light and speed The impacted air wave caused the ground to roll up smoke and dust, for fear of being lost.

Then a loud bang was heard.

Everyone opened their eyes again, and looked straight ahead.

After the smoke and dust passed, the city gate stood still, and only a sword mark caused by the impact of sword energy remained on the city gate.

The city of Chang'an has stood for thousands of years without falling down, despite the invasion of demons, despite the change of dynasties, falling apart, it has always remained the same!

Everyone was somewhat frustrated.

But the common people who watched the excitement afterward gave out a sigh of admiration!
"Okay! This sword move is not much better than Lord Li Bai's!"

"another one!"

Gu Nian: "..."

Kayn: "..."

Probably no longer in the mood to challenge the thickness of this city gate.

"Let's go!" Today we will not be able to pass through the city gate. I don't know if the empress had expected it, so she closed the city gate early.

Now they can't get out of this city gate in the first time.

Must take the long view!

No choice but to go back again.

It's just that everyone is different from when they came, and they all seem to be preoccupied.

"I'm going to find the empress!" Gu Nian and Kayin spoke in unison, they both spoke at the same time, and then glanced at each other after speaking.

The two coincided with each other and thought of going together.

For the current plan, only the empress can open the city gate.

They are all worried about the safety of Mulan and Su Lie.

"Brother Shou promises to take Luna and fifth brother back, and I will go to the palace with elder brother." Gu Nian has made up his mind.

At this time, the others had no objection and nodded.

As if expecting that Gu Nian and Kaiyin would go to find the Empress, halfway along the road, an imperial decree came down and directly took the two of them into the palace.

Everything is not so simple, their every move seems to have been seen through.

The empress was reviewing the memorials in the Xuanhe Palace, and the leading ministers were still reporting the case of the Great Wall Guards.

"If the information is true, Hua Mulan did collude with King Lanling of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Western Regions. This time, General Li Jing's trip to the Great Wall may be dangerous."

Wu Zetian glanced at Di Renjie, and asked indifferently: "What do you think of Di Aiqing?"

"My minister still thinks that everything is based on evidence. General Mulan has guarded the border for many years and has never thought of cooperating with the enemy and treason. This time, it may not be that someone wants to frame him." Di Renjie smelled a hint of conspiracy.

First, Xuan Ce was framed and murdered. Although he was detained, the two brothers Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance did not return to the Great Wall Guards immediately.

This is the first, and the second is, if Hua Mulan really intends to collude with the former Northern Wei King Lanling, then she will not be in the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

After all, he only believed in evidence, not a piece of intelligence that he didn't know where it came from.

Wu Zetian nodded, but there were still some people in the court who opposed it.

"Lord Di's words are wrong. It turned out that Hua Mulan didn't want to treason because the time was not ripe. Now King Lanling has assembled most of the troops in the Western Regions and is preparing to make a comeback. He has always had the heart of restoring the country. This information shows But it shows that Hua Mulan has a deep friendship with the King of Lanling. If she really loves the King of Lanling, the King of Lanling may use her title of the posthumous restoration of the country to keep her from being tempted. Moreover, it is true that the Great Wall has missed it now. , This information was also passed on by someone in the Great Wall Guards desperately, so could it be false?"

Now the rumors are spreading, and the world is saying that Hua Mulan colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country because she was a couple with King Lanling, and the two conspired together to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

This time, after an accident happened to the Great Wall, Wu Zetian immediately sent General Li Jing to calm it down. Regardless of the truth of the matter, the Great Wall must be defended.

The two groups of people were arguing in the main hall.

Not long after, a servant came to Wu Zetian and whispered something in her ear, and she waved her hand and said, "You all step back first, let them in!"

Only then did everyone realize that the empress had already made an appointment with someone.

When they got out of the door, they saw that it was Gu Nian and Kayin, and they all showed a bit of suspicion.

Gu Nian and Di Renjie passed by, feeling that he hesitated to speak.

After all, this is not the time to talk, the two of them entered the hall and saw stacks of memorials placed in front of the Empress on the table in the hall. Withdrew his gaze.

"See Your Majesty!" Gu Nian and Kaiyin saluted.

The empress waved her hand: "Come on, I heard that you want to leave Chang'an City today, is it because you want to save Hua Mulan?"

Gu Nian was not surprised at all by the empress's news. In fact, nothing big or small in Chang'an City could escape her eyes and ears.

"Yes!" Gu Nian admitted generously.

The empress looked up at them lightly.

"You guys have a good relationship with her." These words had a lot of meaning, and Gu Nian couldn't hear what they meant.

He could only say: "It's not entirely for the captain's sake, it's just that the Great Wall is in trouble. As a member of the Great Wall Guard Army, it is inevitable that we must do our duty!"

"What a duty!" The Empress stood up, laughing loudly.

Her laughter was hearty and free, no less than a man's pride.

She walked down from the hall slowly.

"I know that the members of your Great Wall Guard Army are all kind and righteous people. First, Baili Xuance made a mistake, and you all worked together to find evidence for him to exonerate him. Now the captains of the Great Wall Guard Army, Mulan and Su Lie, are besieged. , you immediately wanted to rush out of Chang'an City collectively and go to the Great Wall for support, I really didn't misread you."

Gu Nian was a little surprised, it was Xuan Ce's matter, and the empress had paid attention to it.

I don't know if Xuan Ce's matter has anything to do with the Empress, no wonder she thinks too much, but it's Xuan Ce's matter, which is indeed quite strange.

As a result of Di Renjie's investigation, one of the two people was a hybrid demon who deliberately hid his own strength in order to frame Xuan Ce.

It's just that after this thought flashed by her, she felt that it was unlikely. If the Empress wanted to use Xuan Ce to act, there were more sophisticated methods, so why bother so much.
