Chapter 1690: The battle of tribulations (1)
Chapter 1690: The battle of tribulations (1)
The eyes of all the Dukes, nobles, and members of the imperial family were fixed on that blue dress.
Wei Yuan … He was back.
The familiar green clothes, the familiar face, the familiar temperament, the familiar … White sideburns.
In that instant, the entire Palace fell into an unusual silence.
After the initial shock, there was silence.
“Wei Yuan pays his respects to Your Majesty!”
Wei Yuan walked to the throne and cupped his hands.
Huaiqing’s gaze swept across the officials, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Why aren’t you speaking?”
The hall was still silent. No one answered the Empress’s question. They stared at Wei Yuan. Some of them widened their eyes, trying to find evidence that he was a fake.Some people’s eyes were slightly red, hot tears brewing;Some people were ecstatic, and they were so excited that they were trembling.
“Wei, Duke Wei?”
The current head of the Wei faction, Liu Hong, had bloodshot eyes. He trembled as he walked forward to examine the situation closely. He sobbed,
“Didn’t you die in Jingshan city?”
He asked the question that the ministers in the hall had. They were all skeptical about da Qingyi who had appeared in front of them.
Wei Yuan had been dead in Jingshan city for almost half a year. Outsiders only knew that he had sacrificed his life for the country, but they knew more details. When he died, he could have left his body behind.
How could he be resurrected when his body was gone?
Wei Yuan smiled warmly, ”
“It’s nothing strange, it’s just a resurrection.”
Resurrection, that’s it?
The Empress added,
“After the death of Lord Wei, Xu Qi ‘an has been trying to resurrect him, remold his physical body, and refine a magic tool to summon his soul. On the day of the Spring Festival, I personally recalled Wei Yuan’s soul.”
Only then did everyone realize that the Empress wasn’t present at the Spring Festival.
He thought she was in a bad mood and didn’t want to do the spring sacrifice, but she secretly resurrected Wei Yuan?
It was Xu Qi. an who had helped him rebuild his body and recall his soul … The civil and military officials were suddenly enlightened, and the doubts in their hearts dissipated.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust the Empress. Alright, they just didn’t trust her.
No matter how talented the Empress was, she was still a mortal. None of them believed her when she said that she had revived Wei Yuan.
But if it was Xu Qi ‘an, they were willing to believe him. That was because Xu Qi ‘an was a rank-2, a top figure in the world.
“It turns out that Xu yinluo already had a plan.”
“He has been secretly trying to revive Wei Yuan for a long time.”
“If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have had to worry every day.”
The Duke’s heart was filled with complicated emotions as he discussed this.
It turned out that Xu Qi ‘an had already done so many things without them knowing. That kid sometimes made people gnash their teeth in hatred, but as the saying went, when one was on the same side as him, one would feel inexplicably at ease.
Seeing that the officials had started to discuss again, the backbone of the Wei faction was full of excitement and spoke incoherently. The Empress glanced at the seal eunuch.
Pa!
The middle-aged eunuch flicked his wrist, and the whip hit the bright ground.
The ministers fell silent.
The Empress’s voice was cold and majestic.
“Let’s talk about the old days after the court is dismissed.
“Retreating to the capital is the Duke of Wei’s idea. What do you think?”
The same question was asked a second time, but the Dukes stopped talking.
They looked at each other, then at the Empress and then at Wei Yuan. After a while, Liu Hong, Zhang xingying, and the other members of the Wei faction shouted, ”
“We will follow your Majesty’s decision.”
Following that, Qian Qingshu and the other members of the Royal faction all expressed that they would listen to the Empress’s decision and retreat to the capital to fight the Yunzhou Army.
They didn’t submit to the general trend, but they truly felt that there was hope. Even the Royal faction, who used to be Wei Yuan’s political enemies, was like a ray of light in the dark sky when they saw Wei Yuan.
From the battle of the Northern Territory to the Battle of Shanhai Pass, to the fall harvest when the 100000-strong Army flattened the headquarters of the witch God religion, the war god Da Feng had never lost.
……… Huaiqing pursed his lips and said with mixed feelings,
“I’ll have to trouble all of you to help Duke Wei defend the capital.
“Withdraw the court!”
…………
“Go!”
The luxurious carriage galloped along the wide streets of the Imperial City. The wheels rolled, and the coachman kept whipping the horse. It was not that he was anxious, but that the chief Assistant in the carriage kept urging him.
The coachman had an ominous feeling. He suspected that chief advisor Wang zhenwen’s days were numbered, and chief advisor Qian was in a hurry to see him for the last time.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the king’s residence. Qian Qingshu did not give the Squire a chance to help him. He steadily jumped off the carriage and quickly walked into the king’s residence.
They passed through the outer courtyard and winding corridors before arriving at Wang zhenwen’s bedroom. The Butler of the Wang family accompanied them and said,
“Chief advisor Qian, chief advisor Qian … Allow this lowly one to report to master.”
Qian Qingshu ignored him and went straight to the bedroom. He then looked at the Butler and motioned for him to knock on the door.
The Butler did as he was told and whispered, ”
“Old master, Qian shoufu is here.”
He didn’t dare to shout too loudly for fear of disturbing Wang zhenwen’s rest.
Not long after, a young maidservant opened the bedroom door and said in a low voice, ”
“The old master invites you in.”
Qian Qingshu stepped over the threshold and entered the bedroom. He saw Wang zhenwen sitting on the bed with a dejected expression and looking over.
“Looking at your face, you seem to have encountered something big.”
Wang zhenwen let out a shaky breath and said in a deep voice,”Did Yongzhou fall?”
After the fall of Danzhou, Wang zhenwen often suffered from insomnia and woke up with a start. He became more and more mentally exhausted. With his experience and vision, he knew that the fall of Yongzhou was only a matter of time.
He just didn’t expect it to be so fast.
After Yongzhou was lost, the cloud state Army had arrived at the capital.
Qian Qingshu was silent for a moment before he said, ”
“Yongzhou is indeed gone, but this is an order from His Majesty. He said to retreat to the capital and fight to the death with the Yunzhou Army.”
Wang zhenwen’s face was full of worry.
“This is a dangerous move. I understand Your Majesty’s meaning. It is definitely better to fight in the capital than in Yongzhou. The capital had an abundant reserve of soldiers, city walls, weapons, and resources. They could fight a long battle.
it’s just that she has neglected human nature. When the Army arrives in the capital, it will definitely cause panic among the people and officials. Once the People’s hearts are scattered, there is no way to fight.
“Brother Wang is very clear!” Qian Qingshu sighed, ”
“Today when I heard that Your Majesty took the initiative to give up Yongzhou and retreat to the capital, I also had a kind of panic like the end of the world. But … Wei Yuan is back.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw chief advisor Wang’s expression freeze, like a frozen painting.
After a long while, the old man twisted his neck, turned his withered face around, and stared at Qian Qingshu. He said word by word, ”
“What did you just say …”
Qian Qingshu said seriously, ”
Wei Yuan has been resurrected. Xu Qi ‘an reconstructed his body. During the spring Festival, His Majesty personally summoned his soul back. Today, in the court, I have observed him repeatedly. He is indeed Wei Yuan. His appearance can change, but his bearing, gaze, and speech can not be imitated.
“Moreover, there is no lack of experts among the nobles. If they were in disguise, they would have seen through it long ago. His Majesty said that it was Wei Yuan’s decision to retreat to the capital.”
After hearing this, Wang zhenwen was stunned for a long time before he said,
“What was the reaction of the officials?”
Qian Qingshu replied, ”
“They’re currently actively participating in the defense deployment, each carrying out their own duties. When the court was dismissed, I looked carefully, and although their expressions were still not very good, no one was pessimistic. Alas, as long as Wei Yuan was around, he would feel at ease when it came to leading troops into battle.
“He came back at the right time. The people in the capital can be at ease ….
As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Wang zhenwen’s head was tilted and his eyes were closed. He didn’t move for a long time.
Qian Qingshu’s heart trembled, and his lips trembled as he shouted, ”
“Brother Wang?”
He stretched out his trembling hand, his eyes mournful as he carefully tried to take a breath.
The next moment, Qian Qingshu looked relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He had only fallen asleep.
The maidservant at the side whispered, ”
master hasn’t been sleeping well recently. Even when he’s asleep, he often wakes up with a start and is in a daze.
Qian Qingshu nodded slowly and said softly, ”
“Take good care of him, don’t disturb him.”
Before he left, he stopped at the door and looked back at Wang zhenwen’s peaceful sleeping face.
You can finally sleep in peace.
…………
The Northern Territory!
A white-robed figure flickered continuously as the clear light rose. Every time he flickered, he would cover a distance of three miles.
The figure in white looked exactly like Xu Pingfeng. It was a clone that he had made. It was essentially a puppet made of fine iron, with 28 arrays engraved on it. Its combat power was about the same as a master who had just entered rank four.
Xu Pingfeng separated a wisp of his divine sense and attached it to the puppet, treating it as a clone.
He could only control two of these clones at the same time. He would keep one in the hidden Dragon City and carry the other with him.
Any more and he would be easily distracted. Normally, it didn’t matter, but he still had to deal with kou Yangzhou, a Rank 2 martial artist, so he couldn’t split too much of his divine sense.
The War in the North affected the entire situation. The White Emperor and the Galos tree had not won yet, and this made Xu Pingfeng sense that something was not right.
He had to see what was going on with his own eyes.
After passing through the vast no man’s land, he looked into the distance. At the end of the desolate plain, there were dark clouds and a sandstorm that covered the sky.
Xu Pingfeng could sense the aura of the heavenly Tribulation from the clouds in the distance.
Sure enough. Luo Yuheng’s lightning tribulation was not over yet. Judging from the aura, it should be an earth lightning tribulation … Xu Pingfeng slowed down the speed of the teleportation and approached carefully.
After all, this puppet had just entered the fourth stage. A wisp of the heavenly Tribulation’s aura or the aftershock of the transcendent battle would be enough to turn it into ashes.
“BOOM!”
When they got close to the Tribulation Cloud Mountain, a terrifying shock wave was set off like a violent tide.
Xu Pingfeng immediately activated a defensive spell formation, forming a hexagonal barrier in front of him.
Bang! Bang!
The defensive formation only lasted for three seconds before it was torn apart by the violent shock waves. The puppet’s body was sent flying on the spot, and its chest caved in deeply.
If it was a fourth stage Warlock, such an injury would be enough to make them lose their combat ability.
However, the puppets would not die, and they did not feel pain. Xu Pingfeng stuck close to the ground and teleported twice before finally reaching the edge of the Tribulation cloud.
At the same time, he also saw two battlefields. He saw the White Emperor Xu Qi ‘an, the Buddha tree, Asuro and the Golden Lotus Zhao Shou.
The others were ignored, but Xu Qi ‘an’s appearance made Xu Pingfeng confused.
……….
