Romance of Gods

Chapter 214 Proclaimed Emperor (End)

Elixir of life? What elixir of life?

When Chen Yan just asked, everyone was immediately excited and started discussing it.

It was probably more than an hour ago, and I don't know who sent this news.

It is said that in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, there is an elixir of immortality collected by the emperor.

Not to mention taking a bite, even smelling it can extend your life by more than a hundred years.

This rumor seemed to have grown legs, spreading from one to ten, then to a hundred, and it didn't take long before everyone knew about it.

And with the chaos in the capital, some people really risked their lives to go to the palace to get medicine.

As long as someone takes the lead, no matter how timid a person is, he will become extremely bold when being coerced by the crowd.

In a short period of time, nearly a hundred groups and tens of thousands of people rushed into the palace.

Chen Yan's goal was originally the palace, but he didn't care about immortality. He just wanted to visit the emperor's treasure house.

"Let's go to the palace."

"Okay! Go to the palace!"

"go!"

Chen Yan took the lead and was hugged from behind as he walked towards the palace.

At the same time, Ao Sanye has led Xian Laowu and other men to sneak into the capital from the tunnel.

Hundreds of thousands of rioters have also broken through the fragile defense line set up by Zhang Juzheng in front of Qingliang Mountain, rushed to the city gate like a tsunami, and began to smash against the city gate crazily.

The majestic palace's Meridian Gate was wide open. Looking around, corpses were strewn on the ground and blood flowed like a river.

The forbidden areas of the dynasty yesterday are now accessible to everyone.

The excessive corruption of the court brought an end to this country, and also marked the starting point for today's carnival.

After Chen Yan and everyone entered the Wengcheng, the city gate suddenly closed.

"You rebels, who have no regard for human relations and deceive the emperor, deserve to be struck by thousands of thunders and cut into pieces with a thousand knives!"

Everyone looked up and saw hundreds of eunuchs standing sparsely on the four walls.

"That's Wei Zhongxian! Wei Zhongxian!"

Someone pointed at the leader and gritted his teeth.

Wei Zhongxian's hair was disheveled and his body was covered in blood. He had obviously experienced several bloody battles.

At this time, I heard that someone recognized him. Instead of being angry, he was happy and laughed wantonly.

"I am a gelded dog! Yes, I am a gelded dog! But this gelded dog, I know better than you what it means to be loyal and patriotic! You bunch of rebels are worse than dogs!"

Hearing this, the crowd became excited for a moment, "We are worse than dogs! If the court treats us as humans, why should we be beasts!"

"Kill! Kill for me!"

Wei Zhongxian stopped arguing with them and shouted. The eunuchs immediately gave orders and Gululu launched more than a dozen cannons and pointed the muzzles at the people in Wengcheng.

How could a mortal body withstand the onslaught of artillery fire?

The crowd was in chaos and prepared to rush out of the urn city, but the gates on both sides were closed and completely unable to move.

"Jump! Jump over the wall in a hurry!"

Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily. Seeing everyone turn pale with fear, he felt a sense of pleasure like a cat catching a mouse.

"boom!"

He imitated the sound of cannon fire with his mouth, and people slumped, trembled, and cried.

"It's real down there, shoot me!"

Before Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, a figure like an agile gecko stepped on the city wall and jumped to the top of the wall in an instant.

Chen Yan waved the spear in his hand and pulled out a curtain made of pure flames. While covering the bodies of several eunuchs, it also ignited the cannonballs piled behind them.

Boom!

A sea of ​​fire and gunpowder smoke erupted together. Dozens of eunuchs were blown to pieces, and huge wall bricks loosened, then cracked in all directions like mahjong pieces.

Wei Zhongxian was startled, but before the sound of the explosion reached his ears, a murderous figure quickly closed the distance with him, and the tip of the spear with a cold light pointed directly at his throat.

"what!"

Wei Zhongxian shouted loudly, swung his thick arm boldly, and slammed the gun away. At the same time, he turned his hands and claws, tearing towards Chen Yan's chest with a roar.

Chen Yan took advantage of the situation and slammed the spear on the ground, used the force to somersault, and landed lightly behind Wei Zhongxian. The flames surged into a beast at the same time, and when he was about to devour him, a bone-chilling blue feminine power surged out of Wei Zhongxian's body. out.

In an instant, the flames condensed into ice and continued to spread forward. The spear was instantly wrapped in thick blue ice. When the cold was about to touch Chen Yan's fingertips, he suddenly raised his knees and lifted the gun body, shattering the ice. Deng Deng retreated back and put some distance between himself and Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian turned around and looked at Chen Yan, the corners of his mouth dropped downwards, his face was extremely gloomy, suddenly the wind started to sound, his fists rushed like a rainstorm, and layers of coldness rushed toward Chen Yan like cascading waves.

Chen Yan mainly dodges and does not confront him head-on.

He is worthy of being the largest gelding in the world, and he is extremely powerful.

The previous Feng Erniang also followed a feminine path, but the Gang Qi she unleashed was completely restrained by Huo Qi.

But Wei Zhongxian's Gang Qi can suppress Huo Qi.

Chen Yan slowly experimented and tried to use Ji Lei to control him.

Wei Zhongxian was almost crazy at this moment, and he tried his best with every move. During the two men's attack and defense, dozens of feet of wall were covered in ice.

"Brother Chen!"

"Chen Yan!"

At this time, the cry came, and Chen Yan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two to three hundred people, led by Cao Chunhua and others, leaping onto the city wall and engaging the surrounding defenders.

when!

The spear struck Wei Zhongxian's arm, and several thunder flowers were hidden in the flames and penetrated into Wei Zhongxian's flesh and blood with a crackling sound.

Wei Zhongxian's arms were slightly numb, and he immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly retreated.

Chen Yan's eyes flashed with light, he quickly jumped forward and raised his gun in the air, a relentless offensive.

Wei Zhongxian had profound skills and his discomfort had subsided at this moment, but he still pretended to be panic, secretly stocking up on killing moves, preparing to lure the enemy deep and kill Chen Yan with one blow.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

Chen Yan unexpectedly quickly retracted his move, swung the gun back, and fell backwards quickly with the help of inertia.

How could Wei Zhongxian let him go? When he was chasing him head-on, Chen Yan suddenly turned to the side, and the air flow like a heavy hammer rushed out from behind him and hit Wei Zhongxian hard on the chest.

Cao Chunhua came in a flash, raising her long legs high. The calves wrapped in the fine air flow were like cutting machines with blades, and she slashed fiercely diagonally at the moment Wei Zhongxian's belly turned upside down.

Stab it!

Wei Zhongxian's clothes were torn open on his chest, revealing his almost transparent abdomen, which looked like crystal-carved organs filled with red blood.

"Die!"

When Cao Chunhua fell down, her body was slightly unstable due to the lack of an arm. Although there was only a small flaw, Wei Zhongxian still caught her.

When he was about to attack, Chen Yan's gun shadows like a storm came over again, falling on him and making a tinkling sound.

"Go away!"

Wei Zhongxian's muscles and bones suddenly began to feel paralyzed again. He opened his mouth and spat out a burst of cold wind and snow. When he tried to force Chen Yan back, his ankle was suddenly hit hard.

Cao Chunhua swept Tang's legs and slashed his lower body. Wei Zhongxian leaned back.

Chen Yan's arms bulged and veins protruded on the back of his hands. He used all his strength and shot him in the throat.

Wei Zhongxian fell to the ground with a crash, and the sharp gun blade only cut through his flesh. He was about to get up to counterattack.

"what!"

Cao Chunhua screamed loudly, her thigh was like a guillotine, and it hit the barrel of the gun. The two of them worked together, and the gun broke through the last layer of obstacles, clicking, and the owl's head clicked.

Wei Zhongxian's head rolled forward quickly, and his dull, round eyes took in a panoramic view of the spinning world.

Chen Yan and Cao Chunhua looked at the head, as if they had glimpsed the shadow of an overthrown dynasty. They both breathed heavily and remained silent.

At this time, the surrounding wars were also victorious.

Chen Yan looked at Cao Chunhua, "Are you okay?"

Cao Chunhua glanced at her broken arm and said, "What could have happened? If something had happened, he would have died long ago."

Chen Yan had a vague impression of what happened last night. He knew he was in the wrong, so he stopped mentioning it and changed the subject: "Did you start the fire before?"

Cao Chunhua nodded, "Earlier Mr. Ao discussed with us that we should sneak into the city along the tunnel. As soon as we see a beacon fire outside the city, we will respond immediately and light a fire in the city to give the illusion that Jinling City has been occupied."

"There is an elixir of immortality in the palace... Did you also spread this news?"

Cao Chunhua looked at him and laughed dumbly, "We are already very busy avoiding the pursuit of officers and soldiers. How can we spread these ghost news? I still thought it was you."

Chen Yan shook his head when he heard this.

"That's weird. Could it be arranged by Mr. Ao again? But having said that, the person who spread the news helped us a lot. By the way, how did you survive last night?"

Chen Yan was about to speak when suddenly the sound of a landslide and tsunami sounded outside the imperial city again.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't panic! Brother Pao will be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, do justice for heaven, root out traitors and traitors, and will never harm the people!"

Everyone on the city wall turned to look outside and saw long queues of dense crowds cruising through the streets and alleys, heading towards the imperial city together.

The person at the head of the dragon was none other than Mr. Ao Sanye, who was sitting on a high sedan chair. He kept waving to the onlookers, looking extremely proud.

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Go down."

Cao Chunhua nodded, "Let's go."

As the gate of the imperial city was knocked open, Ao Sanye and others rushed in. Chen Yan and others on the city wall jumped down one after another.

Mr. Ao Sanye was grinning when he suddenly saw Chen Yanhao appearing in front of him. There was some joy in his expression, but more of a chill.

This boy is so full of life that he didn't die in the city last night.

Brother Chen, Brother Chen, my savior, my beloved relatives and friends, you are still alive now, where should I put you?

"Dear gods! Dear heroes! We can achieve great things today, thanks to all your help! I, Ao San, am true to my words, and I, Ao San, will share the future glory and wealth with you!"

With that said, Mr. Ao jumped down from the sedan chair, bowed his hands, spoke sincerely, and shed tears of gratitude.

Chen Yan returned the gift and said loudly: "Since Master Ao has said so, we will not refuse. We just hope that next time, Master Ao will not let Liang Gongzang go!"

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about! Today, the heroes of the world and the people of Jinling are gathered here. Anyone can bear witness to this! If I violate my oath today, my head will be shattered into mud and I will die without a whole body!"

Mr. Ao Sanye laughed loudly, and he wished he could crush Chen Yan into pieces immediately.

But then I thought about it, if Chen Yan and others just wanted to gain wealth and not get involved in his country, then there was no need for him to fight these mermaids to death.

At this moment, a tearful and ardent shout sounded from the imperial city.

Immediately afterwards, a majestic purple color, like morning glow, swayed from the depths of the palace to the urn city.

"Guilty minister! Zhou Yanru, the second-in-command of the cabinet, along with hundreds of civil and military officials, are here to welcome Brother Pao Hui, the benevolent and righteous teacher of Ao Sanye, to the capital!"

"Oh?"

Everyone heard the sound and looked around to see where the officials were. Thousands of officials, big and small, led by an old man with a green beard, all knelt down in front of Ao Sanye and the others.

Zhou Yanru, the second assistant in the Ming Dynasty cabinet, whose status in the court was second only to Zhang Juzheng, now actually led his ministers to kneel down to show their loyalty.

Mr. Ao Sanye was shocked at first, and then he couldn't hold back his joy. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Mr. Zhou Ge, which song is this? I can't bear it! I can't bear it! Ministers, please get up quickly!"

Zhou Yanru was still kneeling on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Sanye Ao, we are waiting for you, but we are not planning for the government. We are really just people who are sitting in the corpse and eating nothing! If we hadn't advised you poorly, how could we have let the people of the Ming Dynasty fall into this trap?" In dire straits and heat? Our crime is truly unpardonable, please give Mr. Ao a severe punishment!"

Mr. Ao Sanye said righteously: "This is wrong! All the princes are the pillars of our Ming Dynasty. The only ones who put our Ming Dynasty in danger are those eunuchs and eagle dogs! From now on, I still need you to do your best to assist Your Majesty and reorganize our country of Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Baiguan nodded secretly and had an idea in his mind.

Zhou Yanru nodded and said: "Ao Gong is a great example of benevolence and righteousness to the world. We have been waiting for the Ming Lord for a long time. I sincerely ask Ao Gong to take the throne as emperor today!"

"what!"

When Ao Sanye heard this, he didn't know whether he was shocked or delighted, and was stunned for a moment.

Of course he is ready to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but if he takes action now, it would be too hasty and he will become a target for everyone in the world.

Chen Yan and others looked at each other and felt that this show of flattery was too explicit and they really couldn't watch it.

All the vassals of Mr. Ao San were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all shouted: "Master Ao, please take the throne as the emperor according to the people's wishes and destiny!"

Other people who were watching the excitement did not think it was a big deal and followed suit. In their view, in this situation, it didn't matter who became the emperor, including the mule.

"Absolutely not!" Mr. Ao San suddenly shouted loudly and powerfully, drowning out all the noise. He cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou Ge, and all the gentlemen present! I, Ao San, am a common man. This time The reason why I led my troops to the capital is to clear the emperor's side and assist His Majesty in governing the country! Now that you allow me to proclaim myself emperor, wouldn't it be an injustice to me, Ao San! I am really going to be forced by you to become a treasonous rebel!"

Zhou Yanru wiped his tears at this time and cried bitterly: "Ao Gong doesn't know! The late emperor... the late emperor passed away not long ago!"

Upon hearing this, the whole place was in uproar and silence at first, and then burst into laughter.

Mr. Ao Sanye frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty passed away? Is this true?"

Zhou Yanru fell to the ground and cried loudly, "It's absolutely true. The refugees who came from nowhere heard that the secret elixir of immortality was hidden in Xiyuan and suddenly came to snatch it. Your Majesty died in the riot!"

Mr. Ao Sanye's mouth was dry for a moment, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Secret medicine of longevity? What secret medicine?"

Zhou Yanru also whispered: "It's all my fault. I drank too much wine last night. When I was drunk, I accidentally revealed that His Majesty had practiced the elixir of immortality in Xiyuan for many years. These drunk words were actually heard by the family. The servant heard it, and he spread it again, making it known all over the city... This turned out to be a big mistake!"

"This...this, my majesty!"

Mr. Ao Sanye fell to his knees and cried loudly.

At this time, all the officials urged in unison: "Please Ao Gong to be the emperor!"

"No!" Mr. Ao Sanye said with red eyes, he refused again, "Your Majesty still has a prince, even if he dies, the prince should inherit the throne!"

Zhou Yanru stood up suddenly and shouted at the top of his lungs: "If the throne of the emperor is occupied by an unscrupulous person, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in trouble again! We are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If Ao Gong insists on refusing, then he will do it. Please just step over my waiting corpse!"

With that said, he lay down on the spot, and other officials followed suit.

Mr. Ao Sanye was at a loss. He started to help him and said angrily: "Masters, please get up quickly. What's the trouble? Do you have to force me to become this national thief?"

At this time, a dozen officials suddenly rushed over, pulled out a yellow robe from nowhere, and put it on Mr. Ao.

Mr. Ao Sanye stood on the spot, and when Huang Paojia was behind him, he beat his chest and stamped his feet and said: "You just bully me that I am old and have no strength to tie a chicken! If this emperor doesn't do it, you are forcing me to do it today! Alas! !”

"Welcoming ministers pay homage to our emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhou Yanru saw that the situation had become a success, and he led hundreds of officials to pay three respects and nine kowtows to Mr. Ao Sanye.

At this time, a soldier rushed into the imperial city, holding a human head and presented it to Master Ao San.

"Third Master, while cleaning the battlefield, I found the head of Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the dynasty! He committed suicide after the defeat!"

"What a shame! Our Ming Dynasty has lost another minister!" Ao Sanye wiped his tears and looked at Zhou Yanru, "Mr. Zhou Ge, from now on, you will be the chief minister."

Zhou Yanru kowtowed with great joy, "Thank you for your grace!"

Before he finished speaking, a fan-shaped golden light suddenly fell from the sky, accurately covering Ao Sanye in it.

"This is!"

It was a natural phenomenon, and everyone present looked sideways.

When Chen Yan and other actors were about to look at the source of the light beam, a few lines of blood words suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
