Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 73: Searching the Mountains and Seas to Capture Zhao Gou
the next day.

Outside the Imperial Palace and Ningmen.

On the Imperial Street illuminated by the morning light.

Amid the whispers of the onlookers on both sides, Yang Feng, carrying his Fang Tian Hua Ji, stood in the middle of the Imperial Street, looking at the open city gate opposite.

Because of the unusual incident that happened last night, a large number of officials were summoned early in the morning and were now walking out one after another. They were all looking at Yang Feng in confusion. Although the Imperial Camp was an open commercial street, the Imperial Road in the middle was not. What's more, he was carrying a Fang Tian Hua Ji, which obviously meant he was going to cause trouble. A team of soldiers were already walking towards him.

next moment……

The dragon's roar that appeared out of nowhere shook the entire city like a bolt from the blue.

Amid the screams of the surrounding people, a golden dragon appeared behind Yang Feng.

"The dragon has appeared!"

"God, this is a god!"

……

Amidst the chaotic screams, the people fell to their knees.

Nowadays, people still worship gods.

As for what happened last night, actually not much was seen, because last night was New Year's Eve and everyone was celebrating the New Year. Most people only knew that the Dali Temple was burned down. There were also rumors that a dragon was seen, but for most people they were just rumors, and similar rumors were not uncommon.

It is normal to hear about dragons in fires.

Fire dragon!
The soldiers were also frightened. The leading officer turned around and looked at the officials behind him. The officials were also frightened and looked at him in amazement.

"Zhao Gou, come out!"

The dragon's roar shook the entire city again.

Even the tiles on the roofs of the houses on both sides were shaking at the roar.

"Zhao Gou, come out and explain why you wanted to kill Marshal Yue. I am a Taoist from Kunlun, and I came down from the mountains to help Marshal Yue reclaim the Central Plains. I have just arrived in Lin'an, and yet you have harmed Marshal Yue. If you don't explain this matter clearly today, don't blame me for being ruthless. From this moment on, once this bell rings, I will exterminate every official in Lin'an until you come out to see me."

The dragon roared.

The next moment, Yang Feng pointed with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.

A huge clock tower appeared out of thin air beside him.

As the hands on the dial turned, the bell suddenly rang.

"one."

The dragon roared.

"There's also a dragon!"

“两条龙！”

……

Chaotic shouts also rang out at the same time.

Above the city in the north, a similar golden dragon danced.

but……

The next moment, blue flames erupted from the dragon's mouth, fiercely slamming into the ground. Because of the high terrain, people could see the blue flames centered on the residence of an unknown prince or noble, then pushed away like a wave. At this point, most of the city's buildings were wooden, and this mansion instantly ignited. Amidst the blue flames, the red flames of the building also rose rapidly, creating a dazzling display of blue and red.

Of course, the officials saw it too.

One of them howled and ran forward desperately, but was stopped by his colleagues. He wiped his tears, looked at Yang Feng with hatred, then turned around anxiously and ran into the palace.

The bell rang again.

"two."

The roar of the dragon then resounded through the sky.

The giant dragon above the city then flew to a nearby place and without hesitation spewed out terrifying blue flames at another mansion below.

An official opposite cried.

"God, please retract your magical powers. I did not frame Marshal Yue. That was all ordered by Qin Hui. I even pleaded for Marshal Yue."

He fell to his knees and wailed.

"What does it have to do with me?
As long as Zhao Gou doesn't come out, none of you will be able to escape, it's just a matter of time."

Yang Feng said calmly.

"Your Excellency is so cruel, harming innocent people. Is this how a cultivator should be? Even if the treacherous ministers are guilty, what are the crimes of the people? The raging fire burned the city, and millions were killed and injured. Even if Marshal Yue was in heaven, how could his spirit rest in peace?"

Another minister said angrily.

"Ah, you're right. Let's burn your house first."

Yang Feng said.

"This is a Chengdu family, please go and burn it!"

The latter said proudly.

"Go to Chengdu and burn down the largest houses in the city. Then say it's his house, and the others will suffer. After the burning, bring him photos. Also, tell the locals that it was his order to burn down the houses, and those affected can come back to him later. If the houses burned down weren't his, then they can deal with it themselves."

Yang Feng said.

The giant dragon that was spewing fire over the city immediately turned around and disappeared in the next moment as a golden light that tore through the air.

Yang Feng looked at the official whose face had turned pale.

"as you wish."

He said.

You don't need to know the name or anything.

The gentry in Chengdu will know who has cheated them.

At the same moment, the giant dragon beside Yang Feng soared into the air, passing over the palace in an instant and plunging into the Qiantang River. The next moment, dark clouds surged upward from the river, forming above the palace like a mountain bearing down on a city. They spread rapidly towards the city, and soon the area in front of the Hening Gate was dark. The giant dragon also soared into the air within the dark clouds, passing over their heads again and soaring over the burning mansion. Then, a strange, circular rainstorm cascaded down like a waterfall, circling the burning mansion in a spectacular display. Through the curtain of rain, a blazing flame inside could be seen rising into the sky.

It's like being in a huge transparent chimney.

All the officials trembled and looked at Yang Feng as if he were a devil.

Just watching in despair.

At this time, a large number of soldiers had actually arrived, including a general in heavy armor, but all they could do was watch. After all, they knew very well that they could not fight against someone who could control a dragon. The blue flames sprayed from the sky could easily burn them to ashes.

"Everyone, you are fighting against someone you are completely unable to defeat. All your struggles are in vain. Instead of bargaining with me here, you might as well go to the palace and bring Zhao Gou here."

Yang Feng sneered.

As he spoke, he pointed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and countless javelins flew out, whistling through the air, passing over the heads of the general and his soldiers, and then nailed densely into the city wall. The soldiers were so scared that they quickly put up their shields and watched trembling behind them. However, they also knew that the javelins that could be nailed into the city wall definitely could not be blocked by the shield.

Fortunately, Yang Feng was just warning them, so he immediately took back the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Then the bell rang again.

The officials woke up instantly and rushed towards the palace like crazy.

In a blink of an eye, only the crying people and the wooden warrior were left.

The people around were watching happily.

They were indeed worried about the fire spreading, after all, the city was made up of wooden buildings, but now this problem no longer existed. The heavy rain falling in a circular pattern soaked the area around the mansions, so the fire would not spread and was confined to these mansions. In this case, of course they could just watch and have fun.

It is really heart-warming to see these officials looking so grief-stricken.

"Look, this is what officials are like. When nothing happens to them, they just sit back and watch. But when something happens to them, they immediately start running."

Yang Feng said.

The people also laughed.

Yue Fei's injustice was a well-known fact. Officials and common people alike knew he was wrongly accused, but expecting officials to truly save him was impossible. Officials understood why he had to die. They could certainly express their sense of justice by submitting memorials, but desperately trying to rescue him was impossible. The common people saw this as a case of them simply sitting in office and doing nothing. The court was either full of treacherous officials or those who sat in office and did nothing, and the emperor was incompetent...

What? Does anyone think Wanyan Gou is a wise ruler?

It has long been recognized that he is a tyrannical and incompetent ruler.

As a result, now that these ministers' own homes were burned down, they all became anxious.

Deserve it.

The bell rang again.

Another royal noble mansion was engulfed in flames in the blue flames spewed out by the giant dragon.

At this time, the princess and her dragon suddenly appeared in the sky, and then landed beside Yang Feng.

Of course, a dragon couldn't fly that fast. After all, the distance from Chengdu to here was nearly three thousand miles. Even if a dragon could fly supersonic, it wouldn't be fast enough. It would have to fly at least as fast as an intercontinental missile to make that round trip, but that was only about the speed of an ordinary fighter jet. But since it was the princess, she definitely wouldn't fly normally. The so-called god could simply open a wormhole for her. She jumped off the dragon's back, handed Yang Feng a photo, and then flew back up into the sky.

She was carrying a lot of things on her dragon's back, including a camera, after all, she was on vacation.

Yang Feng took an aerial photo of Chengdu during this era, but the photo only showed part of the blocks. Among the densely packed courtyards of various sizes, six fires that were obviously from wealthy families' mansions were particularly eye-catching in the photo.

He held it up before the warrior...

"Which one is your home?"

He said.

The latter looked at the photo of six burning mansions in shock.

Then, filled with grief and indignation, he swayed dejectedly, and the officer next to him hurriedly supported him.

"I've made it very clear. I'm someone you can't stand against. Bring Zhao Gou out honestly, or I'll burn city after city. I'll reduce the homes of all the princes, nobles, and scholars to ashes. You've sacrificed your most loyal generals to the enemy just to live in peace. You've framed and murdered a commander who truly fought for our country just to sign a traitorous peace treaty. Then I'll reduce everything you have to ashes."

Yang Feng sneered.

The official was in tears, staring at the sky with a somewhat empty look.

It was obvious that his house was one of the six mansions burned by the princess.

Not only does he have to face the tragedy of his home being burned down and his family being burned to death, he also has to face the anger of the other five families affected. No one will care about anything else. You have to take responsibility for the disaster you have brought upon yourself.

At this time, an official ran out anxiously.

"God, immortal, can you give us an hour or two? The emperor still needs to prepare the ceremonial guards."

He said humbly.

"Yizhang, did he escape?"

Yang Feng said.

The official was speechless with embarrassment.

Well, it seems that Wanyan Gou really ran away. After all, someone must have informed him before.

This is very much in line with his style.

"Then there's nothing more to say. Since he's escaped, you guys will bear the consequences!"

Yang Feng said.

Then, with a pointed thrust of his Fang Tian Hua Ji, two enormous dragons danced in the sky. Lightning swirled amidst the swirling dark clouds, and bolts of lightning brewed. The entire city of Lin'an seemed to be doomed, as dark clouds, like mountains, threatened to crush the entire city. The officials watched in horror at this scene, more terrifying than a passing typhoon. The wind raged fiercely, and even tornadoes formed within the dark clouds. Yang Feng, holding his Fang Tian Hua Ji high, looked like a demon against the backdrop of swirling lightning.

"God, God, please give us an hour or two, just an hour or two, just an hour or two. Even if we search the entire palace, we will find the emperor for you. He cannot escape. The wind is strong and the waves are high on the river. He cannot take a boat. All the gates are closed, so he cannot leave. He is in the palace, but we cannot find him in such a hurry."

The official prostrated himself on the ground, crying, kowtowing and shouting.

He hit his forehead so hard that blood came out.

"Please, gods, have mercy on me."

"Please ask the gods to give me an hour or two."

……

The people were also afraid. After all, the scene was too scary. If they were not careful, Lin'an would be razed to the ground. They knelt on both sides and begged.

Yang Feng's Fang Tian Hua Ji fell, and the lightning brewing in the sky receded.

"For the sake of the people, I'll give you another hour. If I haven't met Zhao Gou here in an hour, I'll raze this palace to the ground, and bury all the officials and gentry in this city with him!"

He said.

"Quick, go in and search, even if you dig three feet deep, you will find the official."

The officer shouted at the surrounding soldiers.

Then he quickly ran back, and the soldiers followed him in panic and rushed into the Henan Gate.

The people looked at each other in confusion.

"My fellow elders, let's go to Qin Hui's house and don't let him escape!"

Suddenly a middle-aged man shouted.

"Let's go and catch Qin Hui!"

"Catch Qin Hui!"

……

The crowd was excited.

Indeed, entering the palace to search for the emperor was definitely not an option, as it would be considered treason and rebellion, but arresting Qin Hui was no big deal, at most it would be a case of a crowd riot, and such incidents were not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, and the law would not hold everyone responsible for the consequences. After all, Qin Hui himself was also very hated, so it was not impossible to take this opportunity to kill this treacherous minister first.

Immediately afterwards, the excited people turned around and rushed along the Imperial Street towards the city behind, rushing towards Qin Hui's house like a torrent.

At this time the princess flew over.

"Go to the sky above the palace and watch. Anyone who dares to leave the palace gates will be struck to death."

Yang Feng said.

The princess nodded and flew directly over the palace.

At this time, several shop owners and clerks nearby brought over chairs and coffee tables, served tea and even snacks, and waited for the immortal to sit down. Yang Feng threw the Fang Tian Hua Ji, let it fly out and fly around him.

"come here!"

Yang Feng held the tea and looked at the general who was still watching.

The latter stepped forward cautiously.

"Where are Yue Fei's son and his son-in-law?"

Yang Feng said.

"God, they are still in prison. They were originally scheduled to be executed, but the execution has not yet taken place."

The latter said quickly.

"bring!"

Yang Feng said.

The general stood in front of Yang Feng with his hands hanging down, hesitating.

"Why, do you think I can't kill your whole family?"

Yang Feng sneered.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was originally spinning in the air, instantly arrived next to the general, and the halberd was hovering at his head, making a vibrating buzzing sound, as if a bloodthirsty monster was waiting to drink his blood.

"Quick, go to the prison and bring Yue Yun and Zhang Xian here. Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy."

The general shouted to his soldiers without hesitation.
