On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 90: Strange things in Chentangguan, fairy fetus or demon?
The next day at the court meeting, all civil and military officials gathered together.

Everyone had different expressions, some were hesitant, some were confused, and some were shocked.

"Everyone has heard, right? The yellow turban thieves who were wreaking havoc in the south not long ago turned out to be just a handful of beans picked up by the demon Zhang Jiao."

"Why would the Immortal choose to attack me, Da Zhou, at this time?"

"Isn't it a divine punishment? After all, a woman is in power..."

Just when this man was about to say the second half of his sentence.

"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

The eunuch raised his voice.

Wu Mingyue, wearing a black and red dragon robe, walked up the steps of the Golden Palace.

Step by step, she came as if she were stepping on clouds, with an unparalleled momentum that made the hearts of the ministers jump.

The Empress I saw today was different from before.

It was as if what they were seeing was no longer the delicate and beautiful woman, but the emperor who ruled over billions of creatures.

"I respectfully welcome Her Majesty the Empress." The ministers saluted.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Wu Mingyue sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the officials with cold eyes.

Finally it fell on the minister who just spoke.

"You just said that my country is unstable? Huh?"

"I don't dare." The man was stared at by the empress, and his scalp felt numb and his hair stood on end.

"If you don't dare, why are you talking nonsense here?"

The empress' voice was cold and bone-chilling: "Come on, drag this person down, throw him into the sky prison, and kill him on another day."

"According to the order!" The two guards nearby took the order, lifted up the old minister with limp legs, and walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The man screamed miserably, but he could only be escorted away by two guards.

The other ministers were as silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything.

"Since it's a court meeting, why don't we see the princes and kings from the southeast, southeast and north?"

Wu Mingyue glanced around.

"I would like to inform your Majesty that all three princes and kings are ill and unable to attend the court meeting. Please forgive me."

The eunuch who delivered the order said tremblingly.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

This is not a pretense of illness. It is clearly the three princes and kings who put pressure on the newly-appointed empress because of the recent incident.

The three princes and kings respectively guarded the three important passes in the southeast, north and south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with nearly a million troops.

In terms of status, he can be regarded as Wu Mingyue's elder.

But not long ago, Her Majesty the Empress showed no mercy and dismissed one of them and returned home.

How could the other three endure this?

"It seems that there is more than one voice in my empire in Great Zhou."

Wu Mingyue sneered.

"If you don't come to the court, then never come again."

"The decree is passed on. From today on, all the princes and kings of the three groups will resign and go home. They will not be allowed to continue to hold positions."

"Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Wu Mingyue ordered indifferently.

Hearing this, all the ministers' pupils shrank.

The military strength held by the three princes and kings is fully half of that of the Great Zhou Dynasty today.

Once the other party's order is passed, it will truly shake the foundation of Da Zhou.

Although no one knows where the confidence of the newly appointed Empress comes from.

But no one dared to be the first to dissuade him at this time.

It is said that if the king wants his ministers to die, they must die.

What's more, Her Majesty the Empress is so tough.

This move made even the four women behind him, spring, summer, autumn and winter, look suspicious when their eyes fell on Wu Mingyue.

They are the four people who are most familiar with Wu Mingyue.

Of course, it can be seen at a glance that Her Majesty the Empress’s move was obviously intended to cause turmoil in the world.

But now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has just unified, it has once again caused an uproar. Is it really appropriate?

Why did Her Majesty the Empress do this?
"General Li, I left you alone because I have a few questions to ask you."

After the court meeting is over.

Above the main hall, only Wu Mingyue and the former Chentang Pass guard Li Jing were left.

Wu Mingyue stared into the other person's eyes tightly and said in an incomprehensible tone.

Li Jing answered respectfully.

"Your Majesty, feel free to ask, and I will definitely answer everything you know."

"Do you still remember the name Gu Changsheng?"

Wu Mingyue said every word,
Staring at Li Jing, he spoke slowly.

bang.

In an instant.

Li Jing trembled all over, as if recalling some unbearable past, his face was full of pain, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will remember..."

Li Jing took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, then showed a look of deep reminiscence.

……

Recently, a strange thing happened in Chentangguan.

It is said that the wife of Li Jing, the guard of Chentang Pass, was three months pregnant and was not born for a long time.

For a time, rumors were rampant in the pass.

Some people think that the woman is a monster causing trouble.

Some people think that the woman is colluding with demons and causing harm to good people.

Some people think that the feng shui in the city lord's mansion is bad.

Others think...

Anyway, all kinds of speculations have been going on and it has been a commotion for a long time.

Warlocks from all walks of life also appeared at this time.

Came to Li Jing's mansion.

"General, this thing in Madam's belly is a once-in-a-hundred-year disaster. If it is born, it will definitely bring disaster to Chentangguan."

The old Taoist with a goatee shook his head and sighed, looking like an outsider, admonishing Li Jing.

"This……"

Li Jing's eyebrows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan" and he was a little hesitant.After all, this is his own flesh and blood.

"If the general is reluctant to let go of the child and waits for the child to be born, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"If the general persists in his stubbornness, I am afraid it will cause a catastrophic disaster!"

The old Taoist admonished hurriedly.

"This……"

Li Jing was hesitant and confused.

"Monster, I think you are the monster!"

Just as he was swaying from side to side, suddenly, a loud shout resounded in front of the hall.

"who?!"

Li Jing's face changed suddenly and he looked up.

I saw a Qingshan man walking in.

He carries an ancient sword on his back and hangs a silver knife on his waist. He has an extraordinary handsome face and heroic appearance.

A pair of eyes flashed sharply, like a falcon, as sharp as a hawk.

Behind him were a man and a woman. The woman was pretty and cold, like a fallen immortal.

The man behind him was tall and majestic, like a standing black bear.

The muscles all over his body were bulging, exuding an amazing momentum.

It seems to contain huge explosive power, which is daunting.

"These three people are so powerful..."

Li Jing's expression was slightly condensed, his eyelids were twitching, and he felt a sense of danger coming to his heart.

He has practiced martial arts for many years, although he has never entered cultivation.

But at least it can be noticed that these three people are very strong.

Especially the man in green shirt at the head is even more frighteningly strong.

Li Jing thought to himself that even if he tried his best, he would never be his opponent.

"Where did this young boy dare to act wild in the city lord's mansion?"

Seeing the momentum of the three people, the goatee old Taoist suddenly became stern.

"Obviously, a fairy fetus came into the world, but you, a monster like you, called it a demon fetus and deceived the world. What's your intention?"

The man in green shirt looked calm and said coldly.

"General Li, don't listen to the nonsense of these three people. What the lady is carrying in her belly is a demon fetus. Once it is born, the entire Chentangguan will be destroyed."

The old man with the goatee seemed a little afraid of the man in the blue shirt.

However, he was still unwilling to give in and continued to persuade Li Jing.

"Yingbu."

At this time, the man in green shirt slowly called out the name of the burly man behind him.

"Yes, Master."

Yingbu grinned cruelly, and then took off the weapon wrapped with a cloth strip behind his back.

A square-shaped halberd hit the ground hard, causing the entire mansion to shake.

"You... what do you want?"

Seeing this scene, the goatee old man suddenly turned pale with fright and was horrified.

"What do we want to do? Of course we want to send you back to the west."

Yingbu chuckled ferociously.

After a while.

The old man with goatee was defeated and fell to the ground, turning into an old turtle as big as a washbasin.

This is actually a tortoise?

Li Jing looked surprised when he saw this scene.

"General, don't worry. The reason why your wife has been pregnant for three years is because she gave birth to a fairy fetus, and this evil beast transformed into a human form and came here to seize the fairy fetus."

The man in green shirt noticed Li Jing's confusion and explained.

The three of them were Gu Changsheng who began to travel around the world after leaving Jiangdong City.

Now on the frontline battlefield, the six countries are fighting fiercely.

The Qin State has hundreds of schools of thought, and the other five countries are not inferior at all. Immortal forces gradually join in.

Heaven and humans are no longer exclusive to Qin.

Of course, Da Zhou still had his original virtue.

But for reasons of absolute immortality, the monks still did not dare to offend easily.

Under the constraints of Zhuge Kongming and Meng Tian, ​​he could barely maintain it.

Gu Changsheng took advantage of this period of time to gain experience in various countries. The children he rescued from the Nuo opera troupe have now grown up.

After Gu Changsheng taught them some skills, he let them go to all walks of life.

Around him, only Li Moyun and Yingbu, master and apprentice, were left.

Now Gu Changsheng has mastered some abilities of Xuanyuan Sword.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Sword can be used to sense monsters appearing within a certain range.

At this moment, it was Xuanyuan Jian who felt the aura in Chentang Pass.

The three of them just arrived.

In Xuanyuan Sword's perception, in addition to the aura of this bastard spirit, there is also an aura of extremely awe-inspiring righteousness, very majestic, which should be the fairy fetus in the belly of General Li's wife.

"Li Jing, the guard of Chentang Pass, kindly asks you gentlemen to stay and save my wife and children."

When Li Jing saw this, he quickly bowed and begged.

"Don't worry, General. With a few of us here, we will never allow any monsters to harm innocent people."

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly.

This was also the reason why the three of them came here.

Xuanyuan Sword can sense the hiding places of monsters in the world.

However, the demonic aura in Chentangguan was unprecedentedly strong, even reaching a level that even Gu Changsheng had palpitations.

While the demonic aura is strong, this breath is also a little weak.

This contrast attracted Gu Changsheng's attention.

At the same time, Chentangguan is located in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If there is really a terrible evil coming here, it will definitely pose a threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

that's it.

Gu Changsheng and three others stayed in Li Jing's mansion.

Along the way, some monsters like the tortoise before came to visit.

They were all easily captured by Yingbu.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the immortal fetus to be born.

Listening to the commotion in the room, Li Jing, who was about to become a father, could not conceal his joy and nervousness.

Gu Changsheng stared at the demonic aura shrouding Chentang Pass with unprecedented seriousness.
