Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 500 The Emperor Never Makes a Mistake
Yu Kunwei on the city wall rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of him for a moment.

Two well-known sages and powerhouses—no, a sage, a true king—appeared together outside Liangzhou, a remote frontier city, posing with eagerness to push the whole city down. posture.

"Wait, Lord Yan... No, isn't the traitor Zhao Changying still in retreat in Jicheng? Why did he suddenly appear on the northwest border of Daqi?"

"Also, why did Pavilion Master Xu turn against him? I heard that she passed on the position of Pavilion Master Jiange to her apprentice a few days ago. I thought she was planning to let go of her shackles and travel around the world to find opportunities for breakthrough... I didn't expect her to be Prepare to rebel!"

"..."

Yu Kunwei only felt that his thoughts were in chaos.

And he also saw that neither Zhao Changying nor Xu Man seemed like the commander of this mysterious army, but more like a strong man invited to help——

Who is it that can actually make a hero who once cracked the earth and become king, and the head of one of the three major sects, willingly put down his figure and fight under his command?

Just when Yu Kunwei was puzzled, music suddenly sounded in the enemy formation.

Cloud gongs, bronze drums, gold, gongs, horns, dragon flutes, stick drums... the sounds of different musical instruments merge together, like a surging river, majestic and solemn.

In the Daqi Dynasty, "ritual" and "music" are inseparable.

Different occasions and people with different identities not only have different etiquette, but also use different music standards, so as to realize the order of respect and order, and the harmony of distance and nearness.

According to the rules of the Daqi Dynasty, the playing music of this size in the enemy army can only be used in the emperor's guard of honor.

As a civil servant who had studied etiquette and took the imperial examinations since childhood, Yu Kunwei undoubtedly could not understand the blatant overreaching behavior of the enemy.

However, before he could muster up the courage to reprimand the opponent, a carriage that was shining brightly and was driving in the air slowly drove out from the enemy formation.

It is not horses that pull the cart, but four flying dragons condensed from stars.

On the top of the carriage are large lotus leaves decorated with dense gold threads, and the pillars and railings at the four corners are inlaid with jade-carved dragons and phoenixes.

A brightly dressed bodyguard walked around to the front of the carriage from behind.

He unfolded a golden scroll in his hand, and chanted loudly towards the Liangzhou city gate:
"Cherish the emperor's will...

"Therefore, Xiao Shengyun, the Marquis of Yongcheng, pretended to be the destiny, forged a talisman, deceived the people, angered the gods, killed the ancestors of Chu, and seized the country and the country. The world is clear, and everyone has heard...

"...

"Xiao Zeyao, the false emperor, let go of evil spirits, trusted treacherous men, slaughtered the loyal and upright, followed the spoken language, increased the weight of taxation, and stripped the people... Therefore, the trap of harsh laws, the death of famine, and the impact of war are countless. , the dead will expose their corpses, and the living will flee and disperse...

"..."

Amplified by the spell, the guard's voice rumbled like thunder, and the city walls of Liangzhou seemed to tremble with it.

Yu Kunwei's face became paler.

He has already heard that what the guard read was a call to arms——

Every generation of emperors in the Great Qi Dynasty, from the Taizu who unified the Great Wilderness to the current Emperor Tianxing, was listed with various crimes and scolded severely.

Even the "God" that the people of Daqi believe in is called a "false god", which is a banner used by the emperors of Daqi to confuse the people and maintain the rule of the system.

This is completely contrary to his three views.

At this time, Yu Kunwei only wished that he had never heard these words - because he felt that these words seemed to have a magical power, which somehow made him feel reasonable, and then shook him invisibly cognition.

I could only hear the guard's voice becoming more and more impassioned:
"...

"I am the people of the upper realm, who are tired of the war and trapped in the lower realm. I look at the people of my great wilderness, trapped in the sea of ​​suffering, and feel guilty. I respectfully accept the destiny and be pushed by the people. I should depose the false emperor and fight against me. Traitors, chasing evil spirits, eradicating riots, saving lives and people, and restoring peace to the world...

"Today's ministers of the puppet Qi, those who know the etiquette and righteousness and are willing to submit, will not be blamed for the past. If there are those who are obsessed with obsession and stubbornly resist, they will be guilty of the same crime as the puppet emperor.

"...

"Kin this!"

The call to arms came to an abrupt end.

Yu Kunwei had already fallen to the ground.His limp legs could no longer support his body.

Around him, Qianhu Ren Guanxiong, the Exorcist Division, and many practitioners who were summoned to the city wall all seemed in a daze, obviously struggling to digest the contents of this proclamation.

And the guard in charge of conveying the will also put away the scroll, came to the dazzling carriage, and saluted respectfully.

"What's their attitude?" A cold voice came from the car.

"Reporting to the emperor, they don't seem to be planning to surrender yet." The guard replied.

Hearing this, the person called "Emperor" sighed softly: "It seems that I still need to do it myself!"

The guard stepped forward, bowed and opened the door.

A young man in a black brocade robe with cloud and dragon patterns and a small white jade crown walked slowly out of the car, and walked towards the gate of Liangzhou City through the void.

For a moment, all the defenders in Liangzhou had the same illusion, as if the world was silent, and there was no sound, and under the vast sky, he was the only one left.

When he was more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, he stopped.

Then he stretched out his hand to grab the air, and a pale cane appeared in his palm out of nowhere, with a glaring silver star shining at the top, as if a terrifying energy storm was brewing.

His eyes swept over the officials on the city wall, and he saw that all of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

"Officials in Liangzhou have more backbone than I imagined." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he whispered to himself.

"He's Gu Xu! He's the wanted criminal who committed treason!"

Ren Guanxiong from Qianhu, the exorcist department, was the first to see clearly the appearance of the young man in black robe, and he couldn't help shouting in surprise.

"Gu Xu, it turned out to be him..."

Yu Kunwei recited the name silently, and looked at the guard of honor in the enemy formation, which violated the etiquette, and let out a long sigh.

During the Lantern Festival this year, among the crowd by the Luo River, he saw Gu Xu winning the ring from a distance, and also heard his blockbuster "Sapphire Case".

At that time, he had great appreciation and admiration for Gu Xu's talent and talent.

When Gu Xu was sentenced by the court as a traitor, he also felt puzzled, thinking that a young man like Gu Xu with a bright future who was appreciated by many big figures had no reason to rebel at all.

But now, when he saw Gu Xu riding the jade boat and holding the dragon flag, he had to sigh from the bottom of his heart: The emperor's judgment will never go wrong.

Gu Xu is not only a rebel, but also the leader of the rebels!
