Volume 1 Chapter 260 Mysterious Map
Starting three miles away from Tiance Mansion, both the monks and the common people were running toward the inner city in a panic.
The inner city, which originally had a small number of people, became overcrowded in just half an hour, forcing the city guards responsible for the imperial city's defense to fill the streets to maintain order.
The big and small families in the inner city are also in a state of panic, including their servants, who are all collecting gold and silver, ready to run away at any time.
But it happened that the palace was eerily quiet.
To be precise, anyone who has anything to do with the royal family has no movement at all.
The only one with some movement was Prince Jin's Mansion.
"Hasn't the person been found yet?!"
"Back to Third Master, after there was no movement in Tiance Mansion, we sent people to look for it as soon as possible, but except for the ruins of the walls and the dead bodies on the ground, there was no one. Now the inner city is overcrowded, so..."
"I don't want to hear these excuses! Since you can't find it in the inner city, then go find it in the outer city. You still need me to teach you! What a bunch of rubbish!"
The more Zuo Qiujie talked, the angrier he became. He threw the teacup in his hand unceremoniously into the face of the next person, splashing tea all over his face.
The scalding hot tea made the man grin, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and continue looking!"
"Yes, yes!"
He hurriedly agreed and left the room as if he was running away.
After Zuo Qiujie left, he smashed the table next to him heavily and his face was as black as coal.
When Zuoqiu Fengtian appeared and started fighting with Huofeng Lantian, Zuoqiu Jie felt something was not good and hid in a safe place to observe secretly.
Until the golden retriever appeared, Zuo Qiujie was completely frightened by the terrifying aura of the golden retriever.
While being frightened, he also realized that the appearance of Jin Maohu would definitely cause turmoil in the imperial city, so he immediately returned to Prince Jin's Mansion without staying any longer.
As soon as he came back, he sent a large number of people to observe every move of the Tiance Mansion, and at the same time sent all the forces he had secretly cultivated to keep an eye on Zuo Qiumao's mansion.
After explaining everything, Zuo Qiujie wanted to leave for the palace, hoping to get the most beneficial "righteousness" for himself before the turmoil.
But before he could leave, news came that there was no movement in Tiance Mansion, and not only Jin Maohuan, but everyone who stayed in Tiance Mansion at that time was either alive or dead!
Zuo Qiujie didn't care about the others, he only cared about Zuo Qiu Mao!
During the life-and-death fight between Zuo Qiumao and Gu Xiao, Huo Feng "hijacked" everyone in the Tiance Mansion. If he sided with Huo Feng, he was suspected of "rebellion."
If Zuoqiu Mao is still alive...
No, we can’t wait any longer, otherwise things will change!
Zuo Qiujie's expression hardened, he stood up suddenly and walked quickly towards the door.
But as soon as Zuo Qiujie arrived at the yard, his eyes flashed, and then his pupils shrank sharply.
Because he saw Li Yichun, whose body was covered in blood and whose energy and blood were ruined. In Li Yichun's hands, he was still holding Zuo Qiumao and Mo Jing who had passed out!
Seeing Zuo Qiu Mao's face clearly, Zuo Qiu Jie felt happy and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but Li Yichun happened to look at him and quickly held it back.
"Third brother, quickly find someone to treat the injuries of the second brother and Mo Jing!"
Zuo Qiujie's expression changed, and then he hurriedly shouted at the person who had just left.
"Hurry up and find the famous doctor who is currently in the imperial city. If you have any difficulties, take my token and go directly to the palace to find the imperial alchemist! If you delay the treatment of my second brother, come and see me first!"
Zuo Qiujie said the last sentence with cold murderous intent. As soon as the subordinate heard this, he immediately understood and quickly accepted the order and left.
"Master Li, you are also seriously injured, why don't you send your second brother to him..."
Before Zuo Qiujie finished speaking, he noticed that Li Yichun was staring at him motionless, and this gaze was so cold that it made Zuo Qiujie feel numb in his heart.
"Li..."
"Third brother, you have to think clearly. The royal family is not interested in letting outsiders interfere in seizing the heir, let alone subverting the royal family with the help of outsiders!"
Li Yichun's cold tone made Zuo Qiujie's face freeze.
After a moment, Zuo Qiujie could no longer see the slightest smile on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Master Li, do you think that the second brother's surrender to Gu Qilin is not to use the help of outsiders to overthrow the royal family?!"
Li Yichun's expression changed suddenly and he opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Seeing Li Yichun's silence, Zuo Qiujie narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Master Li, the second brother asked the ancestor to come out because of a personal grudge. As a result, there was such a big commotion and the whole imperial city was panicked..."
"What is the situation in the inner city now? You must have seen it when you came here. Let me ask Li Guoshi, if someone raises troops to quell the trouble at this time, will it be successful or not?!"
Li Yichun's pupils shrank and he looked at Zuo Qiujie with surprise on his face. Then, the surprise turned into anxiety and anger.
"Third brother, don't do anything stupid! If you rebel now, the royal family will be doomed!"
"No! If I don't have troops at this time, then the royal family will be really doomed! And..." Zuo Qiujie tilted his head and looked at Zuo Qiu Mao: "If the second brother does not die, then the entire Yue Kingdom will become Gu Qilin
Slave! So..."
Zuo Qiujie narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent!
Sensing Zuo Qiujie's murderous intention, Li Yichun was startled again and subconsciously jumped into the air.
But as soon as he took off, not even three feet off the ground, he felt he hit an invisible wall. He was caught off guard and made him dizzy.
Forbidden air barrier!
Although Li Yichun guessed that this was a forbidden air barrier, he was already seriously injured. After the collision, his hand loosened, and both Zuo Qiumao and Mo Jing fell straight down.
Normally, even if they fell from a height of three feet, they would not be injured if they were in the body-tempering state. But at this time, the two of them were already unconscious. If they fell to the ground, they would definitely die!
Three feet high, in the blink of an eye, they were about to fall to pieces, but Zuo Qiujie's figure appeared next to Mo Jing and lifted Mo Jing up.
On the other side, Zuo Qiumao, with a click, his head folded into his chest, and he lost his breath in an instant.
Zuo Qiumao never dreamed that he would die in such a useless way!
At this time, Li Yichun recovered from his dizziness. When he saw Zuo Qiumao's miserable condition, he became furious: "Lao San, why are you..."
"Master Li, there is no poisonous husband! And I just said that if the second brother does not die, the entire Yue Kingdom will become Gu Qilin's slave! You can't escape, and neither can Mo Jing!"
After Zuo Qiujie finished speaking, his eyes rolled.
He knew very well that Li Yichun's biggest weakness was Mo Jing, who was like his own son. With a cold look in his eyes, he raised his hand and clasped Mo Jing's neck.
Sure enough, as soon as Zuo Qiujie's hand was clasped, Li Yichun's face was full of panic, and he subconsciously wanted to snatch her away. But as soon as he moved, he heard Mo Jing groan, and he froze.
"Lao San, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Zuo Qiujie narrowed his eyes, and then snorted coldly: "Master Li, your injuries are probably caused by that ferocious beast, right?!"
this……
Li Yichun was stunned. He was about to explain that his injury was caused by Gu Xiao, but as he spoke, he felt that Zuo Qiujie would not believe it, so his face darkened and he said, "So what?"
Li Yichun's rhetorical question made Zuo Qiujie raise his eyebrows: "If Xuanzu chases that ferocious beast, he will most likely not be able to come back. In this case, wouldn't Li Guoshi become the only Taoist master in the Yue Kingdom?
!”
Li Yichun's expression changed: "Did you..."
"That's right! If Imperial Master Li doesn't want anything to happen to Mo Jing, then he can come with me to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Face to face...
I'm afraid I'm forced to have a baby!
Zuo Qiujie made no secret of his purpose, which made Li Yichun angry and helpless at the same time.
Although we don't know the reason why Jin Maohuang and Zuoqiu Fengtian are missing, Li Yichun was seriously injured at this time and his strength was very low, so he was unable to preside over the overall situation with the final say.
But now that the imperial city is in such chaos, Zuo Qiujie is not panicking at all. He has obviously been prepared for it. Rather than letting the imperial city be in turmoil, it is better to follow Zuo Qiujie's wishes and stabilize the situation first.
Thinking of this, Li Yichun asked coldly: "Second brother, now the whole imperial city is in panic, but you are very calm, as if you were prepared... In other words, the current situation is caused by you.
?”
After listening to Li Yichun's words, Zuo Qiujie showed surprise and a hint of panic on his face.
But soon, he realized that although Li Yichun was not involved in government affairs, he had served as a national counselor of the Yue Kingdom for decades, so it was not unusual for him to guess, so he stopped covering up and nodded noncommittally.
When he nodded, Li Yichun showed a hint of disappointment, but this disappointment was fleeting.
"Forget it! Then I will go into the palace with you...to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Li Yichun used the word "face saint" very seriously, which obviously meant something.
But Zuo Qiujie probably didn't hear it, or maybe he did but pretended not to hear it. With a happy expression on his face, he couldn't wait to drag Li Yichun out of Prince Jin's Mansion and all the way to the palace.
It took two days for the two of them to enter the palace.
Until the third day, the palace gate suddenly opened, and groups of imposing palace guards rushed out.
It took less than an hour to arrest all the people who had previously submitted to Zuo Qiumao. By noon, the West Street of the Imperial City was filled with blood.
Immediately afterwards, the news of Zuo Qiujie's ascension to the throne spread throughout the imperial city!
At the same time, Gu Xiao, who was recovering from his injuries, finally opened his eyes.
"Although the skin and bones condition has not been restored, the damage to the meridians in the body caused by excessive consumption has been repaired to a great extent..."
After clenching his fist and feeling the power of the fifth level of supernatural power, Gu Xiao's face was not too surprised, but rather a little heavy.
But soon, Gu Xiao gathered his emotions and walked out of the room.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally released!"
Hearing the noise, Shen Suhua appeared in front of Gu Xiao's door immediately. Without waiting for Gu Xiao to speak, she told Gu Xiao everything that had happened in the past three days.
After Gu Xiao heard this, he frowned deeply: "In other words, because Zuo Qiujie ascended the throne, the imperial city will now be closed for half a month?!"
"Yes! Moreover, the entire city guard has been checking our whereabouts from morning to night. Fortunately, it is quite remote in the outer city, so we have not been exposed yet."
Gu Xiao nodded thoughtfully. After a moment, his expression changed and he asked: "Is there any news about your master?"
Shen Suhua was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened.
Gu Xiao was a little surprised when he saw Shen Suhua's appearance. He never expected that in just a few months, Shen Suhua and Lan Tianxin's relationship would become so deep.
"You don't have to worry..."
