A gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky, and the people of Jiankang City were cheering for this scene. Even the gentry and representatives of wealthy families in the palace were amazed and intoxicated, and did not notice the strangeness during the period.

The first Shangyuan Festival when King Huai became emperor, this gorgeous fireworks should be an entertainment program specially prepared by a wealthy family tonight. As for which one was prepared, there was no idea for a while.

"Your Majesty, it seems inappropriate." Meng Chuliang walked over and said to King Huai.

King Huai smiled and said, "Meng Xiangguo must have been worrying too much. This is just a fireworks event. What's wrong with it? Look, let's put it on again! Haha, look back and see which company prepared it, and there are many rewards!"

It was rare that King Huai was happy, so Meng Chuliang didn't say anything. He thought about going on an excuse to ask which one could create such brilliant fireworks. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Zhou Ying coming in with a panic look.

As the Sima of the Jiankang Commander, Zhou Ying did not appear at the banquet tonight. He was responsible for the coordination and order of the people of Jiankang City after the curfew was lifted, and no chaos could occur.

"Why are you so panicked?" Meng Chuliang asked.

Zhou Ying lost his normal state, his body trembled and he was a little unsteady, and said, "Prime Minister, this... Liu Wenyan is here to kill him!"

"Liu Wenyan?"

Meng Chuliang was stunned at first, but soon understood something. Now Liu Wenyan's name has become synonymous with the court army. It is said that Liu Wenyan came, but in fact, the court army came to kill him.

But how is this possible? The imperial army lacks ships. Even if Liu Wenyan dares to take the risk of letting the imperial army soldiers cross the river with light boats, he can't transport the baggage after all, and it is impossible to quickly break through the river defense. Why did Zhou Ying be so panicked?

"Tell me clearly!" Meng Chuliang said.

Zhou Ying said with a sad face: "The soldiers, I don't know where they came from, suddenly appeared. Some may have grown from the ground, and the city has fallen into chaos..."

Meng Chuliang originally thought that Liu Wenyan could not have three heads and six arms, but now it seems that the young man is really the same as three heads and six arms.

"Grow" people out of the ground. No one has such ability unless they are a divine person.

While he was talking, Meng Chuliang suddenly felt something was wrong around him. A black shadow seemed to be covering him. As soon as Meng Chuliang looked up, he saw a black thing hitting him. Meng Chuliang hurriedly avoided it. The object fell to the ground, like a layer of leather wrapped around it, and was still squirming in the middle. It looked like a big bird covered by cloth, or a giant maggot falling from the sky.

The guards had surrounded this strange object, but no guard dared to step forward easily, but just pointed it at it with a spear. Suddenly, the maggots seemed to break a cocoon, and a dark head appeared, and then the dark muzzle pointed at the soldiers around them.

It turned out to be a man, and a soldier from the court army, fell from the sky for no reason. The soldier obviously did not expect that he would accidentally "fall" to the Huai Palace. He raised his gun in surprise and shot him, and fell down a guard with the gunshot. But soon he was poked into a hornet's nest.

The soldier died a bit miserable, but it still had a great deterrent effect on the guards of the Huai Palace and Meng Chuliang. The soldiers of the imperial army actually bypassed the walls of Jiankang City and suddenly appeared in the Huai Palace. From here, they were dozens of miles away from the riverside. How did this soldier do it?

The shouts of killing in the city gradually increased, and a bloody battle suddenly appeared in Jiankang City. The Huai Army was caught off guard and was not prepared enough. The continuous imperial soldiers descended from the sky in this way!

Meng Chuliang looked at the black shadows falling constantly in the distance. These shadows were still alone in dealing with the surrounding enemies in the early stage, but they gathered in an orderly manner towards the city gate in the city. This should be the order issued by Liu Wenyan to let them seize the city gate of Jiankang City so that the army could enter the city.

"There were divine weapons in ancient times that came down from the sky!" Meng Chuliang sighed sadly, and then shouted. "Go and notify the emperor quickly and avoid it!"

Meng Chuliang looked up at the vast night sky. Even if he could rise to a high altitude in the night, it was difficult to accurately determine the direction. He finally knew why the fireworks outside were so brilliant. It turned out that Liu Wenyan used secret intelligence personnel to set off fireworks in the city to guide the troops in the sky. As for what method Liu Wenyan used to achieve the divine weapon falling from the sky, Meng Chuliang knew nothing.

The chaos in the city was uncontrollable. Although the imperial army's divine troops were not as many as the defenders this time, they suddenly entered the vital parts behind the enemy, and had powerful firearms as their backing, and gradually gained a foothold in the city. These soldiers jumped from high altitudes and landed on the ground with open cloth umbrellas. Some were lucky and landed directly in the streets or alleys, or in the courtyards of ordinary farmers. They just needed to cut the cloth umbrellas on their bodies, and they could go to the streets to rush to the preset destination. When ordinary people saw them falling from the sky, they thought they were evil ghosts and dared not get close at all. But there were always bad luck in landing in the Huai Palace, and they would encounter tens of times the enemies. If they landed in ponds and rivers, and if the northerners were not accustomed to water, they could only say that they were unlucky. It is said that on this day, the flower boats on the Qinhuai River alone helped rescue hundreds of imperial soldiers who fell into the water.

The rising fireworks in Jiankang City did not stop because of the divine weapons falling from the sky. On the contrary, more fireworks were lit. Many soldiers would ignite a cluster of fireworks when they landed. This was their first mission after landing, which was to guide the direction of the landing for the subsequent troops. Because there was no curfew in the city, the chaos in the people on the streets also brought difficulties to the Huai Army to calm the magic weapon. Later, the Huai Army gradually discovered that it could no longer hinder the pace of this magic weapon. They could only passively be beaten and gradually shrank the defense line from the inner city to the outer city wall or the Huai Palace.

The chaos outside the Huai Palace quickly spread to the palace. At this time, the banquet was only halfway, and the in and out of the soldiers made the gentry and wealthy representatives extremely nervous, guessing in their hearts what was going on outside. Logically, even if the court army would start a war after the New Year, it would not be so hasty. When several divine soldiers descended from the sky landed on the open space of the banquet, even the stupidest people understood that the court army launched a special siege on the Shangyuan Festival.

Although the palace gate of the Huai Palace has been closed, the enemy comes from the sky and no obstacles on the ground can do anything. The closure of the palace gate has caused the divine soldiers and soldiers who are unlucky in the Huai Palace to fight for the trapped beasts. The firearms in their hands flashed sparks, and the guards of the palace are also a little panicked. Often, just trapped a few clusters of divine weapons in the corner, and there is another group of killing behind them, which is hard to defend! (To be continued.
