Chapter 292 Hundreds of Heavenly Gates gathered in Xuntian Palace!
The next day, the sky was bright and snowflakes were flying.
Between heaven and earth, there was a vast expanse of white. Inside and outside the palace, there was only vastness and snow falling for thousands of miles.
It was summer, and snow was falling in July. Such a magnificent sight should have caused the whole city to be bustling. But at this moment, the city was almost quiet, and the doors and windows of every house were closed. Only the crisp sound of icicles falling and breaking from the eaves could be heard.
In the distance, from time to time, you can hear the neighing of horses and shouting.
In the alleys of Ping'anfang in the east city, iron armors gleamed coldly and huge horses galloped through the alleys.
The blood-stained armor formed a sharp contrast with the dazzling white of snow. White streaks were spewing out from the nostrils of the horses, and under the soft snow where the horses' hooves were placed was the muddy ground.
"Open the door"
"bang bang bang"
The soldiers ran through several alleys, with mud and snow splashing and landing in front of people's houses. They rushed like wolves and tigers, breaking the doors directly and then driving the people inside out.
People ran out of the alleys in panic.
In an alley, the people saw rows of soldiers on tall horses, looking murderous with blood-red ice chips on their armor. They were so scared that they looked terrified.
"Sir, Sir, what are you doing?"
"We all came from poor backgrounds, but we've never done anything bad."
Someone spoke tremblingly and bowed his hands.
In the second half of last night, the sounds of fighting and killing coming from far away outside were very frightening. Soldiers and horses were moving around, saying that they were catching rebels. The noise was quite loud, and the screams continued until almost dawn. The people in the alley were so scared that they closed their doors and windows and did not sleep for the second half of the night.
At this time, they were naturally terrified when the soldiers came to their doorstep.
I saw a soldier on horseback, took out a roll of paper, threw it down, and shouted angrily.
"Who has seen this man?"
"This person is a serious criminal of the Fusi. If anyone can provide specific clues about this person, the Fusi will reward him handsomely. If anyone conceals the information, he will be rewarded handsomely."
"rub"
"rub"
"rub"
I saw a row of armored soldiers drawing their swords one after another. The reflection of the sword light on the snow frightened the people so much that their legs went limp.
Everyone hurried to look at the portrait, and saw that it was a half-length portrait of an old man with gray hair, sharp eyebrows, a white robe, and a black hairpin.
It’s just that the facial features are somewhat uncoordinated and look awkward, as if they were forced on.
The people in the alley looked at it, and one by one, they shook their heads, as if they had no impression of it.
"Sir, we have never seen it before!"
Suddenly, an old lady in the crowd, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she clapped her hands, "I think I've seen it before."
Then the lady seemed to be in a trance again, and murmured in confusion, "No, I clearly remembered this person just now, but now I can't remember what he looks like. He seems different from the portrait, but I still remember this hairpin."
As soon as these words were spoken, the leading soldier's eyes immediately tightened, and he rode his horse further, speaking in an urgent tone.
"where?"
The old lady, with the tips of straw sticking out from the patches on her clothes and her hands hidden in her sleeves, shuddered at being stared at like that, and took a step back, then pointed to an alley further inside.
"It's the eighth room from the alley, Mao's home. I went to work at Wang's house and came back. I saw Mao's kid bringing someone back with him. The black hairpin on his head."
She hasn't finished speaking yet,
The leading soldier immediately turned his head and shouted:
"Inside, the eighth room!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
I saw these soldiers rushing towards the alley.
Find the eighth room inside.
It was a dilapidated yard surrounded by a fence.
"alert!"
Then, in this narrow alley, the soldiers dismounted from their horses, surrounded the small fenced courtyard, and grasped the hilts of their swords at their waists.
His face was tense and alert!
This is a serious criminal that the general has specifically instructed us to find.
That means it's dangerous.
Just as this group of soldiers held their breath and clenched their swords,
"click"
The door in the fence suddenly opened.
The soft snowflakes on it fell down.
"squeaky"
This movement immediately startled the soldiers surrounding outside. Their tense nerves were aroused and the sound of swords being drawn rang out, reflecting cold rays of light on the snow.
But at this moment, as the wooden door opened, a figure in silver armor walked out with a slightly lowered head, stepping on the snow with a crunching sound.
Frowning, looking gloomy!
When the soldiers saw this figure, they immediately knelt down in the snow.
"Meet the General!"
The person who came out was Chen Yuan!
He is now investigating the Qian family's conspiracy.
The mastermind, the head of the Qian family, was captured alive by Liu Tianming, and after the battle of Wubao Mountain, the decision was handed over to him.
The head of the Qian family naturally suffered torture when he fell into his hands, but he knew he had no chance of survival and refused to speak a word. Finally, when he was tortured to death, Chen Yuan took advantage of his weak will and directly used his dream-marrying magic on him, which resulted in an accident.
He originally just wanted to find the whereabouts of the human-demon that escaped from his hands, but instead of finding the human-demon, he found out that there was someone behind it!
A Musashi hiding behind and never showing up!
But this person was very cunning. He could not be seen in the dream of the head of the Qian family. His face was blurry, which meant that he was on guard at that time.
You can only see the clothes and the rough outline!
Moreover, when he was exploring the key point, the soul of the head of the Qian family seemed to be under some kind of restriction and suddenly collapsed.
That’s the end of my life!
The last scene points to Ping'anfang, Dongcheng, where the head of the Qian family comes to meet this man in a mud yard, and the scene ends abruptly!
This is also the origin of this scene!
But this place is already deserted.
But Chen Yuan found out through a dream.
This person was keeping an eye on him and asked the Qian family to inquire about him and the Ninth Mountain's troops. At that time, he was seriously injured by the great monster Musashi at Weiyuan Pass and disappeared for several days.
The second is that the news that he had a lucky spiritual root was most likely spread to the head of the Qian family by this person.
It seems that this person is hostile to me, and quite hostile.
Not only did he not find the human demon, but there was also a poisonous snake hiding behind him. Although Chen Yuan had just won a great battle, he was filled with murderous intent in his heart.
He glanced at his kneeling men and gave the order,
"withdraw troops!"
As he spoke, Chen Yuan's feet shook and he flew into the sky.
"Yes!"
Then a whistle blew.
The soldiers in the alleys also quickly moved their horses, turned their horses around, and then kicked up clouds of snow and dust and rushed out of the alleys.
At this time, high in the sky, Chen Yuan walked in the air, shuttled between the snowflakes flying between heaven and earth, and shot towards the direction of the Daofu Division in the city. The sky and the earth turned into a snowy country, but it was faintly visible that in the distance above Jinguan City, there was a faint black smoke rising slowly.
As we got closer to Genting Mountain, the originally quiet world gradually became noisy and bustling.
The neighing of horses, the sound of iron hooves, and the shouts of people intertwined together.
Looking down.
I saw black lines on the main roads around Genting Mountain, converging towards Genting Mountain.
Those were teams of soldiers and traffic!
Come back from all directions!
Behind these soldiers were escorting black dots the size of ants and a stream of vehicles that stretched for miles, loaded with large boxes.
Those ant-sized black dots are human figures trapped by ropes!
In the first half of the night, after the battle of Wubao Mountain ended, almost all the core members of the Qian family, except those who were running the family business outside, died on the mountain.
But Chen Yuan would naturally not just hold the Qian family accountable. The six families involved in the conspiracy would also have to be held accountable.
Except for the Hanshan Sect, Taoist Li of Fulong Temple interceded for his good friend and showed some mercy to himself. As for the other five families, in the second half of the night, the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain split up and went to settle accounts with the Tianguan who came to help from the other families.
However, the Battle of Wubao Mountain was so loud that the remaining remnants of these families naturally got the news and fled in all directions in advance. However, the city gates had already been blocked by the Sifang Garrison, so a game of cat and mouse began again in the second half of the night.
The killing lasted all night!
As a result, the war spread throughout the city, causing every household to close their doors and windows at dawn today, and the people dared not show their heads!
Chen Yuan set his gaze on the convoys behind the teams of soldiers and his gloomy expression finally eased a lot.
Then, his feet shook and he was immersed in the Yunding Mountain, which was covered with white mist and colorful forests. The snowy scenery in the mountains had a unique charm.
After a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan flew above Yunding Peak, but saw a strange scene.
I saw a large group of people kneeling on the square in front of the Xuntian Hall!
Moreover, these people were almost all Tianguan masters, dressed in gorgeous clothes, kneeling in the square, with a thick layer of snow on their bodies.
There are at least twenty or thirty people!
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned into a stream of light, whizzing through the wind and snow, and landed in front of the Xuntian Hall!
At this time, two recorders and military officers, Gao Yu and Fan Chou, were guarding the front of the palace with a large number of troops.
The two men's eyes blurred, and then they saw Chen Yuan appear. They were immediately overjoyed, took a step forward, and bowed to pay homage.
"See my lord!"
The soldiers and horses behind them fell to their knees.
As the noise came out, the kneeling figures of the Tianguan people below immediately raised their faces, some nervous, some worried, some with a hint of panic, and shouted in unison.
"Meet Jiuzhonglang!"
“See also.”
Chen Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to ask the two recorders and soldiers guarding the Daofu Division,
"what happened?"
Fan Chou and Gao Yu smiled and bowed to report:
"Sir, these people are mostly heads of small families that are affiliated with the Qian, Wang, Zhao and other six families."
"Late last night, these guys came to the Fusi one after another. At first, we were shocked and thought they were extremely daring."
"As a result, these people came to plead guilty and beg for mercy."
"Some said they came to ask for forgiveness."
"There are others who have tied themselves up and come here, saying that they were blind and deceived by the treacherous people of the Sixth Family, and they want to be punished by you, sir."
"Some of them, in order to prove their innocence, claimed that they had no connection with a certain family, and took the initiative to betray the six direct descendants of the families hiding in their homes and arrested them."
"Some even feared being implicated, so they sacrificed their relatives for the sake of justice and took the initiative to escort the clansmen who had married into the six families to the Daofu Division."
"."
Gao Yu and Fan Chou successively explained the purpose of these people's visit.
Looking at the heads of the small families who were trembling with fear and "using their own tricks" on the field, they both couldn't help laughing as they talked.
These guys really wanted to stay alive, so they used all kinds of means, including the self-torture tactic, sacrificing relatives for the sake of justice, cutting ties with the six families, and voluntarily handing over people. To be honest, it was quite eye-opening for the two of them.
However, they both knew very well that it was because of the battle fought by the adult in front of them last night that these people were completely frightened!
"Your Excellency was so powerful last night, I think you scared these people out of their wits!"
"Congratulations first, sir. I think you can let go and do your own thing now!"
Gao Yu, a Confucian general, bowed and congratulated with a smile on his face.
The adults told them that in order to deal with these families, they should send these people to the front line to support Commander Pei.
Now, we are only one step away from our goal!
I think that after yesterday's battle, the families in Jinguan City will be much more obedient.
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, just nodded, then looked at the kneeling figure in the square and couldn't help laughing.
There really are people who carry a thorn on their backs!
What’s even more bizarre is that some people even tied themselves up.
Chen Yuan raised his eyes. Before, he had forced these people to kneel down, but now, they were the ones who knelt down on their own initiative.
"Just plead guilty."
"Since they have come to my door, I have saved myself the trouble of having to invite them over later."
Chen Yuan said this, turning his head slightly to the back and instructing Gao Yu and the other two,
"Please ask them to stay in the other courtyard for one night so that they can feel at ease. I will always be tolerant towards those who have turned from evil to good."
"Also, you two can make an invitation list. I will issue a conscription order tomorrow. All forces with Tianguan masters must participate!"
"First, we will target Jinguan City, then inform the Lieutenants of all the prefectures above us and pass the conscription order down to the lower levels. I guess the news here will take a while to spread."
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky and wandering in the mountains, his tone leisurely,
"We must be prepared. This heavy snow is the call for the chaos in Shu to begin. Let's get rid of these troubles first!"
The next day, Jinguan City, which had been deserted the day before, became bustling again.
At noon, all over Jinguan City, luxurious sedan chairs were coming from all directions towards Yunding Mountain.
These chariots did not dare to fly into the air and could only stop at the foot of the mountain, from which streams of light rushed out.
A stream of heavenly aura rushed to the top of Yunding Peak, and then landed on the top of Yunding Peak, on the square in front of the Xuntian Palace.
Everyone looked at each other, and then spontaneously formed two lines, followed the others up the stairs, and stepped into the solemn and majestic Xuntian Hall filled with military armor.
At this moment, hundreds of Heavenly Gates from Jinguan City gathered in the Xuntian Palace.
At this time, at the top of the hall, there was a tall figure wearing shiny silver armor and a black cloak, with a huge horse and a golden sword sitting on it.
All the people in the heavenly gates clearly felt the pressure from their superiors and did not dare to act rashly. No matter whether they were from the Qi family or the Li family, or any of the four clans and eight surnames, they all bowed in unison.
"Meet Jiuzhonglang!"
The sound echoed in the Xuntian Hall, deafening.
