She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 24: Corrective words

"emission!"

Lieutenant Julong, who was standing upright, yelled, and immediately, a series of Huoyin dragon cannons spewed out golden and flame-like cannon fire again.

The red hot cannonball exploded instantly on the shield wall in front of the Shenlong Hall. The dazzling flame and explosion lifted countless figures, and the extremely high-temperature gold liquid that splashed after the cannonball shattered instantly pierced through every Shuolong prison. Wei's body, vaporizing his body and armor.

"Apocalypse"

When the smoke dissipated, the ground and the walls of Shenlongdian were covered with debris and cooled metal particles, making a mess.

Facing the broken shield formation, the Longjinjia army did not show a happy expression, but still calmly reloaded and waited for it.

Sure enough, during the interval between loading ammunition, the Shuolong imperial guards outside Shenlong Hall took out black and white crossbows to fight back. These crossbows had octagonal compasses on them. A sharp 'moon-piercing Wu hook' was pressed into the muzzle of the crossbow.

Amidst the sound of drizzle breaking through the air, these crossbows slipped across the black afterimages and shot into the formation of the Dragon Golden Armor Army. In the drizzle, it was easy to penetrate like thin paper, and the soldiers on the mountain road and plank road also fell in pieces in this black rain, and many rolled off the cliff and fell into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The shouts of killing were loud, and after this round of crossbow lost the black rain, the Huoyinlongcannon protected in the rear was filled again, waiting to be fired.

Seeing the scorching fire light up again, the veins on the gun barrel lit up and spread one by one, and a loud cry interrupted the gradually cruel battlefield.

"Stop! Stop everyone! I am Xiao Yubing, the princess of the dynasty, holding the emperor's phoenix fire edict!"

In the battlefield filled with smoke and flames, a woman dressed in a black-bottomed phoenix costume walked out of the gate of the Shenlong Hall, held up the golden and red edict scroll, and walked step by step to the open space in front of the hall, and outside the Shenlong Hall, The Shuolong guards who were originally on the defensive saw the edict and moved away one by one, separating like a tide.

Although it is not sure whether the edict is true or not, but since the door of the Shenlong Palace is opened, it is said that the soldiers of the Dragon Army no longer have any reason to continue firing, so they stopped to wait for orders.

"Master Si Ji?" A young lieutenant in golden armor came to the platform on the top of the mountain and asked the general who was in command here.

"I see, you guys stop first."

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after, under the protection of a group of sergeants holding high heavy shields, a dozen ministers and nobles slowly came to the front of the hall, and then stopped.

"Princess Xiao Yubing, where is His Majesty the Son of Heaven?" A minister in a purple robe stepped forward and asked the princess with vigilant eyes.

"The Son of Heaven is unwell and in imminent danger. I hereby issue an edict to show the world." The princess said as he moved forward. The sergeant's heart fluttered, and he almost wanted to surrender.

The imperial edict of the phoenix fire, the fierce destiny.

Even though the edict had not been launched yet, the aura it exuded already showed that it was true, which made all the ministers and generals in front of Shen Longdian both surprised and suspicious.

Why is it this time, and His Majesty the Son of Heaven still doesn't come out, could it be...

Everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, so they all bent over and cupped their hands, and then slowly knelt down.

When Xiao Yubing walked into the formation of the Dragon Golden Armor Army with the edict in hand, there was no one standing there, and they all knelt down on the ground.

Seeing this, the princess took a breath of relief.

But when she slowly put down the edict and was about to open it to announce it, a crossbow shot from the direction of Shen Longdian, like a streamer, it hit its back, and a flower of blood splashed.

"Cough..." Xiao Yubing clutched his chest, staggered a few steps forward, dripping blood all the way.

"Protect the princess."

Immediately, it was reported that the lieutenant in the Dragon Army noticed something was wrong and shouted anxiously, and then the soldiers who had fallen on the ground before quickly stood up and erected the shield wall again.

"Who is presumptuous!" The general in gold armor stepped forward and stopped in front of the hall.

"It's me, Secretary Dongfu, Li Jingfang!"

Speaking of a minister dressed in silver embroidery on a white background, he walked out of Shenlong Hall, who was the one who dissuaded Prince Zhaolong before.

At first, everyone present wanted to open their mouths to scold the courtier who was secretly attacking, but the figure slowly raised behind Li Jingfang made everyone shut up. The two imperial doctors supported the dragon bed and carefully lifted the emperor up. out of the hall.

"How is your majesty?" Someone asked involuntarily.

"Your Majesty has decided to make Prince Zhaolong the emperor, to succeed him and inherit the mandate of heaven!" The minister took a big step forward, turned around and cupped his hands, saluted the unconscious emperor, and then got up.

After saying this extremely sudden imperial decree, everyone present was amazed and unbelievable.

Although Prince Zhaolong is favored, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this young prince has no foundation in the court at all, and is completely unable to compete with the two older brothers. Wang Dangyu, but today the world is not stable, and chaos is everywhere. With such intense cleaning and suppression, if you are not careful, you will be in chaos.

"This, how is it possible?" The faces of the supporters of King Dai and King Huainan changed drastically, and they looked astonished.

"Why not, heh." After finishing speaking, the minister strode forward towards the crowd, aiming at Xiao Yubing who was injured and fell to the ground.

After a short period of emergency treatment, Xiao Yubing held his chest and got up slowly with a hoarse voice, "No, he's trying to pretend...cough cough, it's not true..." Before he finished speaking, he vomited out another mouthful of blood.

"Bring it, you rebellious princess!" The courtier who had been extremely respectful in the palace before, was now extremely stern, and snatched back the edict.

"Xiao Yubing tampered with the imperial edict, intending to help his father become king, and plot great rebellion!" He held the Fenghuo imperial edict tightly with one hand, and pointed at the weak princess lying on the ground with the other.

"No, I'm not..." Xiao Yubing tried to take back the edict, but was opened by the minister who had been prepared for a long time.

"Come here, take him down and imprison him for the province." He ordered sternly, and many soldiers were moved by him, and secretly surrounded the princess.

Fortunately, at this time, Si Ji, a general of the Long Army, strode forward and asked the soldiers to retreat first.

"The two of you seem to have a dispute, and His Majesty is now unconscious. We are really embarrassed."

"Oh, I naturally understand the doubts of the general and everyone."

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Li Jingfang's eyes slowly swept across the generals and courtiers present. All of these people were high-ranking officials of the frontier and important ministers of the country. called one two.

But today is different, the overthrow of the dynasty is all within one's own thought.

"Everyone, please follow me, and I will tell you the contents of the imperial edict."

Then he took the imperial edict and walked towards the opened Shenlong Palace again.

A few minutes later, all the ministers and generals walked into the long-closed Shenlong Palace, but today Tianzi was still unconscious and almost stopped breathing. Although everyone was worried, but at this moment the emperor had run out of oil lamps, and everyone had nothing to do.

In fact, they had already been prepared for the possible death of the emperor, but they didn't want too many things to happen in the past few days, so that the focus was no longer on the emperor who was about to pass away.

Everyone wanted to know what was going on with Chifeng, and why the emperor temporarily changed his fate and let Prince Zhaolong inherit the throne.

"Master Si Ji, please let your subordinates avoid it." After stepping up to the sacrificial high platform of Shenlong Hall, Li Jingfang looked down at the tiger-biting general in gold armor.

The general frowned slightly, but still raised his hand, waved it back, and then the soldiers in golden armor walked out of the hall.

Half a minute later, with the rattle of the card, the door of Shenlongdian slowly closed, and the place became silent again, and everyone present looked at Li Jingfang, wanting to know what he meant and why he made it so mysterious .

Seeing that the surroundings were tightly closed, outsiders could not know what was going on inside the hall, so Li Jing spoke slowly.

"I know that you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, but today's matter is getting bigger and bigger, so don't let it out."

"This is the imperial edict of the phoenix fire, and there is an emperor's last order, ordering us to announce it to the world." As he spoke, he slowly opened the edict, and a wave of heat and wind also slowly hit.

"However, the emperor's order may not be obeyed."

"If this order is obeyed, no matter you, me, or even the world, there will be forever." After finishing speaking, he shook the imperial edict, unfolded its content, and faced all the ministers.

At first, everyone was still dissatisfied, but when their eyes swept over the golden edict, the bright red writings like blood came into their eyes, and the things described in it made people faint and horrified.

"This... this, how could this be the case!?"

"Absurd, simply absurd." Someone bowed his head and sighed.

"The sky is falling..."

A few minutes later, when everyone's emotions stabilized, Li Jing spoke again.

"It is precisely because of this that I did not hesitate to injure people with arrows and stop Princess Xiao." Although some people still feel contemptuous of his actions, no one pays attention to such trivial matters at this time. The impact of information and accidents has not yet slowed down, so I have to figure out what to do in the future.

However, although they didn't think about it for a while, Li Jingfang had thought about it for a long time in the past few days.

"First of all, we must never let this news leak out, no matter who it is or under what name."

"The emperor blames himself, and we know it, but the current dynasty should not be overthrown and collapsed because of the emperor's fault. In a chaotic world, the smoke is everywhere, the people are in dire straits, and the casualties are far more than the natural disasters and dragon disasters in front of us."

"Now is an extraordinary time. We should do extraordinary things. We should quickly establish Prince Zhaolong as emperor to inherit the great order and secure the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, many supporters of King Dai and King Huainan among the ministers frowned and immediately objected.

"No, absolutely not, Prince Zhaolong is young, it is difficult to convince the public, and bear such a rebellious trend." They all shook their heads.

"King Dai/King Huainan should be invited to return to Luojing as soon as possible, and use thunderous wrists to overwhelm the world, subdue all directions, and help the building to collapse."

"How far is King Dai from Luojing, and how far is King Huainan from Luojing? If they wait for the two to return to Beijing, there will be another fight, and the winner will be decided. I don't know when, and the loser, who knows? Will bite back and leak the news."

"In the current situation, it is time to cut the mess quickly and immediately support the new emperor to ascend the throne. This is also to cut down the second king's party members, free up a large number of official positions, and bestow them with peace of mind. Then gather swords and soldiers to clean up the world."

"I know that many of you have made good friends with the two kings, but today is different from the past. Prince Zhaolong ascended the throne alone, and needs your help. Why should your allegiance be only the two kings, not the inevitable true destiny? The Son of Heaven." Li Jingfang's sharp words, his analysis of interests, and his maneuvers made many ministers present shaken and began to hesitate.

Although many of them are partisans of the second king, is this alliance really so strong? Is it really necessary to confuse the two princes who are kings? I am afraid that most of the time, they are only optimistic about the future of the second king. Just combine.

If you continue to persevere, regardless of whether you can walk out of this hall today, even if the two kings return in the future, no one can guarantee that the king you support will definitely be able to ascend the throne. The other party must use cruel cleaning to keep this secret tightly.

The environment of the two kings vying for succession has changed. Now it is a cruel life-and-death struggle. Both sides have no room for relaxation or retreat. Maybe they failed before. At most, they just lost their official positions and went home to take care of them. Thinking about it for themselves, they would never dare to easily let the person who knew today's secret return to his hometown. They must be strictly guarded, or even silenced.

There was a dead silence in the Shenlong Hall, and the eyes of more than a dozen feudal officials and generals present were solemn, and drops of sweat rolled down their foreheads. Everyone was thinking urgently, looking for a way to break the situation.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the long-closed hall began to feel stuffy, but now no one has the heart to care about these details, only the extremely difficult decision.

Finally, after a long period of silence, a voice broke the status quo.

The Nolan Continent Jiedu envoy in red and purple clothes took a step forward and bowed to Prince Zhaolong who had already been waiting to stand on the high platform.

"Minister, Jian Qingyan, I would like to swear to follow Your Majesty to the death." After speaking, he slowly lowered his body and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

At this time, even Prince Zhaolong, who knew he wanted to keep steady, couldn't help being moved, trying to calm down his voice, he took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly.

"I forgive."

After he finished speaking, he slowly helped the frontier official up, and Li Jingfang who was beside him also closed his eyes slightly, and heaved a sigh of relief.

With this first place, it will be easy to talk about later.

Sure enough, several people stepped forward one after another slowly, swearing allegiance.

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty ~www.readwn.com~ until the end of the mountains and rivers, the end of the Nine Netherworlds."

Looking at the Jiedu envoy holding a heavy army, Jian Qingyan had surrendered and swore his oath, and the other people present gradually became anxious. Some people began to regret why they were not the first. Usually, the first few impressions of this kind of thing are the deepest. After that, it's just too general.

So one after another, someone came forward and swore allegiance, until there were only three people standing alone in the field, never moving.

At this moment, other people gathered around Prince Zhaolong, looking at the three of them together, some of them were joking, some were contemptuous, some were admiring, and some were hostile.

Li Jingfang spoke again, but this time his voice was much cooler.

"Are you guys still sticking to your own opinions and refusing to join us?"

"Or maybe you are just pretending to be noble, and you don't know the sufferings of the common people. You seem to be loyal, but you are really evil." His words became colder and colder, and there was even a hint of murderous intent.
