Crossing the Continent of Kings: Under the Valkyrie Zhongli

Seeing the empress nodded, Zhong Fei continued: "I talked to Master Sikong once on the way. He is not very confident in his behavior, but he knows that your behavior, empress, must be wrong."

"Oh? What did Yu Hengsi say?" Wu Zetian asked.

"He believes that the best way to protect the homeland is to only have the power in his hands." Zhong Fei said: "The empress believes too much in the power of the human heart, which will make Chang'an fall into a situation where there will be no redemption in the next war."

"It seems like something he would say." The empress replied.

"I think Lord Sikong's thinking is correct." Zhong Fei said, looking directly at Wu Zetian.

"Why?"

"When it's time for the demons to attack the city, what will Her Majesty rely on to save Chang'an City?" Zhong Fei asked back.

"Mingde Gate, Suzaku Gate, and even every inch of Chang'an's city walls have a large number of military defense measures." The empress said coldly, "They can protect my Chang'an forever."

"What about the enemies who infiltrated Chang'an? It doesn't need to be many. It's not difficult for one or two teams to infiltrate Chang'an." Zhong Fei asked again: "Your Majesty is very strong, which is recognized by Chang'an, but before His Majesty takes action to wipe out the enemies, how many will there be?" Will the people of Chang'an be murdered? If things go on like this, how can there be any people in Chang'an?"

"In Chang'an City, there are Dali Temple and Imperial City guards who can be transferred." There was a trace of panic in the empress' tone.

"But there are still monsters attacking the city outside the city, and the guards of Dali Temple and the Imperial City still have to control the defense weapons. Are you sure that your Majesty will be able to mobilize enough manpower by then?" Zhong Fei found a loophole.

"Zi Shi, Zi Shi..." Wu Zetian finally fell silent.

No matter how smart she is, the empress at this time is just a little girl who has never experienced a real war.

After the 14-year-old empress came to prominence, she was offered to the court of Chang'an by flattering magistrates. With the lessons learned from Xuanyong's Miyue, her powerful mana, talent and unparalleled beauty aroused the fear of the royal family and imprisoned her in the in the temple.

It was also there that she met her teacher, the ancient magician Jiang Ziya.

Under Jiang Ziya's teaching, Wu Zetian's mana became stronger and stronger.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he fell in love with Wu Zetian at first sight when he went to the temple to offer sacrifices, and brought her into the palace.Afterwards, he recruited a group of famous officials and generals, and suggested that the late emperor guard Chang'an from the crazy blood clan. There were even rumors in the city of Chang'an that the death of the late emperor was also written by this empress.

Her experience created her current character of perseverance and dominance, but it did not make her understand the pain of war.

But now it is impossible to persuade her to let Sikong Zhen regain control of the Storm Army, she will not let a person with enough power appear in Datang.The reason why the Storm Army was disbanded was to benefit the people, but there were also reasons why the Storm Army was too powerful and too loyal to Sikong Zhen, which Wu Zetian could not fully grasp.

"Then what do you think of me?" Wu Zetian asked after being silent for a long time.

"After Sikong Zhen's plan is resolved, how about sitting down with him and having a good talk?"

Zhong Fei doesn't like to use conspiracy to describe Sikong Zhen's plan, because his reasons are just enough.

"What are you talking about? Let him regain control of the Storm Army? It's absolutely impossible!" The Empress flatly refused.

"What about the Storm Army loyal to the Empress?" Zhong Fei asked.

"This..." The Empress hesitated. In the end, it wasn't that she couldn't tolerate the Storm Army, but that she couldn't tolerate the Storm Army who was loyal to Sikong Zhen, and she had enough confidence in her own strength and Chang'an's power.

"If it's under my control, it's natural." Wu Zetian calmly replied.

"Then there is no direct conflict between you, is there?" Zhong Fei spread his hands: "Sikong Zhen is not trying to build up his own power, but just to give Chang'an the power to protect himself in the coming troubled times. It makes no difference to him whether it is in his hands or in the hands of the empress."

"This incident must be resolved satisfactorily, because the opponent is only Sikong Zhen, and His Majesty has enough power in his hands. But after the number of enemies increases, what happens when His Majesty is at a loss? Can you take the name of Chang'an as the top?"

"The rebuilding of the Storm Army is imminent. As long as His Majesty is willing to have a good talk with Lord Sikong after the matter is over, Lord Sikong must not mind handing over the military power of the Storm Army."

The empress had nothing to say, so she waved her sleeves and walked into the room.She needs time to think about what Zhong Fei said.

Opening the courtyard door, he found that Ah Li was still waiting at the door.

"Where's the empress? Did you go to rest?" A Li asked curiously when he walked in and found that the empress was not in the courtyard.

"I made some suggestions to her, let her think about it." Zhong Fei patted Ah Li's head and said with a smile.

A Li was startled by his actions, and hurriedly dodged Zhong Fei's hand, blushing and said: "How, how can you..."

Zhong Fei touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I can't help it for a while, since you don't like A Li, then I will definitely pay attention next time."

"It's not that I don't like it," Ah Li said in a low voice, "I was just taken aback... Next time, please tell me in advance!"

Zhong Fei was ecstatic.

Ness, take it!

Chapter 33

After talking with Sikong Zhen and Wu Zetian, Zhong Fei felt that the main task this time had a high chance of being completed.

Next, just wait for the plot of Shangyuan to win the championship!

After eating and waiting to die for several days in a row, it finally came to the Lantern Festival.

The first night of the Shangyuan Festival, which is also the beginning of the story of Chang'an, the royal parade.

On the bustling Suzaku Street, the Empress will take a parade on a huge suspended boat with the royal officials to celebrate with the people, and sing along with the dancer Le Ji who serves the Empress. Assassinate the empress to attract Di Renjie's attention and lead him to the real empress.

Soon, the Lantern Festival will arrive, and there is no curfew that night, and the people all over Chang'an are waiting for the royal boat to pass by, and the empress will start the celebration of the Lantern Festival.

This Shangyuan Festival has additional activities, that is, Sikong Zhen will display the newly restored Daybreak Core, and use the Daybreak Core to upgrade Chang'an's transportation vehicles.

Soon, with a large number of fireworks blasting into the sky, the empress's building boat also arrived at the center of Chang'an, and the people in Chang'an gradually became excited, waving to the empress' building boat continuously, hoping that the empress would notice it.

It has to be said that the prestige of the Empress in Chang'an City is still very high.

At this time, the dancer who was hiding from Ah Li also began to dance under the performance of the music girl who was hiding from Yang Yuhuan. When the two looked at each other, Ah Li winked playfully at Yang Yuhuan, and Yang Yuhuan smiled doting Finally, turn your gaze to the second floor of the building, and the empress will appear from there after a while, announcing the start of the celebration, and then Sikong Zhen will use the dawn core to upgrade the mechanism.

Soon, under the background of Di Renjie and Sikong Zhen, one left and one right, the empress slowly walked out from the inside of the building, came to the terrace, and stretched her hands to the sides: "Shangyuan Festival starts, everyone celebrates!"

The people who had been waiting for a long time on both sides began to cheer, and then the false empress signaled Sikong Zhen with her eyes, Sikong Zhen understood, stepped forward, and began to urge the core of Lixiao with all her strength.

At this moment, Yi Xing, who had been waiting for a long time, knew that his role had arrived, and got up from the eaves not far away. The second skill, fixed style, leaning on the cover was released, and the white chess piece fell on the left side of the building. Dingshi·Zhenshen followed closely behind, and placed a black chess piece on the right side. The two attracted each other, and instantly collided with each other in the center of the building, causing an explosion.

(The above are all Yixing skills before rework)

Of course, Yixing controlled the scope of the explosion and did not really threaten the people on the building. After all, Yaotian didn't really plan to assassinate.

When the people in Chang'an City saw the explosion, they immediately panicked and fled here one after another.

Sikong Zhen looked at the panicked crowd, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: Is this the power of the heart that the Empress trusts?

Ah Li, who was dancing, saw Yi Xing's chess pieces, and knew his chance had come. He threw out the umbrella hidden behind him. The paper umbrella instantly penetrated the smoke and appeared not far from the three people on the second floor.

Gongsunli disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the position of the umbrella, and threw a maple leaf-shaped hidden weapon at the empress in the air.

Di Renjie reacted quickly, and the token appeared in his hand in an instant. He first blocked A Li's hidden weapon, and then directly threw the token at Gongsunli with his backhand.

Ah Li didn't dodge like in the plot, but blocked the blow with Zhong Fei's strengthened umbrella, and used his strength to fall to the ground.

A Li, who threw the paper umbrella again, landed smoothly, and then looked towards the second floor of the building. Sikong Zhen had already entered the building with the fake empress, only Di Renjie was still looking down.

A Li flicked his hair at Di Renjie, made a provocative grimace, and then jumped off the boat.

Di Renjie also jumped directly from the second floor at this time. After falling to the first floor, he jumped off the boat with A Li. After landing and rolling for a week to relieve his strength, he chased after A Li's back.

Several guards of the imperial city also wanted to catch up, but unfortunately, Yang Yuhuan, who was hiding in Le Ji, made a move and knocked out a guard in an instant.The remaining guards looked at each other and surrounded Yang Yuhuan one after another.

No way, don't look at Di Renjie and Gongsunli jumping so easily, the boat is actually quite tall, these guards...don't dare to jump.

Before, it was because if you don't catch up, you will be punished as passive sabotage, but now there is an assassin's party, catch this one first, and the other assassin...Let's leave it to Master Di!

Yang Yuhuan floated in the air, turned around briskly, the camouflage on her body instantly changed into her own clothes, and then dodged the spears stabbed by the guards, played the ultimate move, Song of Everlasting Sorrow, and slammed the surrounding people All the guards flew out, and then they also left the building.

On the other side, the patrolling soldiers who maintained order in various places in Chang'an also ignored the evacuation of the chaotic crowd, and surrounded Gongsunli.

Gongsunli avoided the slashing of several soldiers with light steps, and then sped up and ran to the distance again. Several soldiers hurriedly chased after him, paying no attention to a figure standing on the eaves above his head.

Immediately after Ah Li passed by, a figure jumped down from the roof and hit the ground with a punch, knocking the most forward soldier away: "The first punch that shocked Chang'an!"

Pei Qinhu looked at A Li's perfect pretty face passing by him, lost his mind for a moment, and raised his hand to say hello to her, but A Li ignored him.

When Pei Qinhu was still in a daze for A Li, he realized in a blink of an eye that the soldiers had already surrounded him. The leader of the soldiers kicked Pei Qinhu first, and then several soldiers rushed forward, some with swords. Some were punched with fists, and some were kicked with their feet. Fortunately, Pei Qinhu's body shield was hard enough, otherwise it would have been a bit of a hit.

Pei Qinhu was besieged when he didn't notice for a while. After he reacted, he unleashed his big move, Tiger Roaring Wind, and instantly switched forms. After all the soldiers were stunned, they also left the scene and rushed towards the agreed meeting place.

Ah Li continued to hang on to Di Renjie, speeding up when he was about to catch up, slowing down when he was about to be thrown away, and waiting for him. Di Renjie also noticed that Ah Li seemed to want to take him somewhere, although he didn't Knowing what her purpose was, she still gritted her teeth and followed.

Chasing Ah Li through the crowded corridor, the news of someone assassinating the empress had not yet reached here, people were still leisurely enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the festival, and some even waved to Di Renjie to say hello, but unfortunately Di Renjie had no time to reply.

A Li jumped down halfway from the corridor, looked back at Di Renjie, Di Renjie jumped from the same place, and threw a few tokens at him again in the air, A Li dodged and landed on the eaves.

Ah Li, who landed on the ground, hopped on a running car hung on the wall, and waved to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie watched Fangche drifting away, so he had no choice but to jump into a nearby restaurant, and chased desperately in the direction of Fangche.

Just when Ah Li was about to jump off the car, a flywheel rushed towards her.

Li Yuanfang, the secret agent of Dali Temple who did not appear in the original plot, appears!

Unfortunately, before Li Yuanfang caught up with Ali, he saw a little yellow bear eating chili.

The year is not good!I knew I wasn't coming!

This was the only thought in Li Yuanfang's mind when he ran to find Shui to extinguish the fire on his body.

Do you understand the gold content of the Stove Lord?

Chapter 34

Unlike Yang Yuhuan and Pei Qinhu, who seldom show up in Chang'an, Zhong Fei is still a temporary worker at Dali Temple, and has recently become famous in Chang'an, so it is not easy to show up to stop Di Renjie and the others for the time being.

After all, tomorrow I will participate in the Shangyuan Championship with Ah Li.

A Li seemed to be blocked by Zhong Fei, and jumped off the car directly, but Di Renjie predicted his position, and when he couldn't dodge in the air, the yellow card and the secret order of the dynasty had already arrived in front of him.

Di Renjie looked happy, and just when he thought he was about to make a hit, the long spear flew out in the darkness, nailed the yellow card to the ground precisely, and then the long spear disappeared strangely.

A Li glanced gratefully at Zhong Fei who was hiding in the darkness, then lightly landed on the ground and ran forward again.

Although Di Renjie looked familiar with this spear, he jumped down and chased after it again before he had time to think about it.

After A Li landed, he stopped before taking two steps, so when Di Renjie landed, he found that A Li was waiting for him in front of him. After seeing his figure, he turned his head to the figure in front of him and said, "Man, I'll bring you a coming."

Di Renjie looked at the figure in front of him with some doubts. In the dark alley, he couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure gave Di Renjie a strong sense of familiarity.

At this time, Yang Yuhuan, Pei Qinhu, and Yi Xing also came to the agreed meeting place, and they all came out of the surrounding darkness, and Zhong Fei also walked over from behind Di Renjie.

After this conversation, Di Renjie will become a friendly army, and it is not a bad thing to be exposed in front of him.

Seeing Zhong Fei, Di Renjie understood where the familiarity of the spear came from.

The figure in the darkness stepped forward slowly and took off the hood on his head. It happened that there were fireworks blooming in the sky behind him, allowing Di Renjie to see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

"Your Majesty!?" Di Renjie exclaimed.
