Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 668
The sky changed from sunny to cloudy.

Layer upon layer of clouds pressed down.

It got dark early.

The whole city of Shanghai was in an unknown state of anxiety.

From the first time I saw flames coming out of the city, many places caught fire one after another.

Just like the coup d'état back then.

Sitting in the Zhaohe Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao became more and more worried.

For some reason, she always felt that she had overlooked something.

It was the neglected incident that disturbed her.

More and more refugees gathered outside the city and crowded into the city.

These people were all infected with the plague, and they were told that if they entered the city, they would survive.

On the way into the city, they encountered countless encounters.

Most of the people died, and the corpses were stepped on by the people behind as a road.

More and more people.

Shencheng has been built magnificently since ancient times, and every time there is a war, it is impossible to enter the periphery of Shencheng.

This city has a long history and stands here anciently, having experienced generations of emperors.

But this time, before the enemy stepped forward, it was the Shen people who surrounded them.

They want to live.

Very simple idea.

Because outside they will be killed and burned to death.

Those dog officials, for the sake of their political achievements, would never report the situation of the plague.

Once the plague is found, they will be blocked, and then a fire will burn them all.

They were exploited while they were alive, and paid heavy taxes. It was said that Shen Guo had won the battle, but they still had to pay more money, because the achievements of officials depended on how much tax they could collect every year.

When he died, not even the bones remained, and was burned to ashes.

They've been smoked all their lives.

Anyway, life is worse than death, they want to seek justice.

in the city.

The new owner of Muyan Tower, a handsome young man.

His appearance is not the same as that of his elder brother and younger brother.

He is more oriental.

It can be said that with a little dressing up, he is similar to a scholar in the city.

Beautiful features, gentle smile.

However, the second prince Langsha is the most feminine among the princes, but he is deeply liked by the emperor.

Because his mother is an oriental beauty.

Of course his mother died very young.

The emperor had many children, more died, but not many survived.

During the period when the second prince bought Muyan Building, he had already figured out the power of the officials of Shen Guochaotang, big and small.

A court ruled by women is nothing to be afraid of.

He has always felt that women are incapable of governing.

Love and hate emotions are too strong, it will only fail.

With the attack of refugees outside the city, the inside of the city also began to mobilize.

By dark, he had most places under control.

His elder brother is an idiot, and it is said that he has already burned the country of Jing, leaving only ashes.

He won't, he wants a rich Shen country, a dilapidated and annihilated country is useless to him.

He needs a large number of slaves. The best way to domesticate slaves is to select slave leaders among the slaves and let them train themselves.

He will kill, but he will still keep some people.

At this moment, the second prince looked at the person brought in by his subordinates and smiled.

Seeing this person, he felt that he had already succeeded in half.

"Lord Ye, let's enter the palace together tonight. Since you appeared in front of me alive, it means you know what to do next."

Ye Shoufu had been beaten beyond recognition, and one leg was even more limping.

In order to catch this person, the second prince lost a whole team of martyrs.

Of course, this also shows that he caught the right person.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, when they entered, the high official of Shen Guo actually pushed his wife to resist, and wanted to run away through the back door.

It almost made him succeed.

He was really cruel. When he saw his wife being smashed, he didn't even frown.

At this moment, Ye Shoufu, who had lost two teeth, had one side of his face swollen like a pig's head, while the other side was fine, and his beautiful and neat beard was stained with blood.

"I know." He said hoarsely.

There was fear and desperation in his eyes, he only glanced at the person in front of him, and didn't take a second look.

It is God who wants to destroy Shen, not him.

This is the trend.

Ye Shoufu said it many times in his heart, and then said: "I need to freshen up, otherwise I won't be able to enter the palace."

The second prince smiled and nodded.

I waited patiently for a while.

Goodbye Ye Shoufu, the blood on his beard was washed clean, his face was still a little swollen, his hair was neatly combed, and he changed into a new set of clothes.

A group of people walked through the palace road and came to the front of the palace.

Ye Shoufu can enter the palace at any time.

He has a plaque bestowed by the Queen Mother.

In the city.

Cao Jiu is now also an important official in the court.

Last year, the old Shangshu passed away, and the funeral was very grand.

Now that the Zhou family is a family, they are supported by their granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

Everyone said that Lao Shangshu had a good eye.

Granddaughter Zhou Yunzhu is no longer the carefree young girl she was back then, but has become the mother of a child.

She had only one daughter named Cao Lanyuan.

Back then, Emperor Rui of the Jing Kingdom personally arranged a marriage for Lan Yuan, and her future husband was Kumuhu, the eldest grandson of the famous general of the Jing Kingdom, Kumu Changju.

These people who made the marriage arrangements are no longer alive.

The country of Jing was annihilated, and the child who was about the same age did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Cao Jiu doesn't like Jing Guo, but he approves of this marriage because he likes Ku Muchun very much, and they are still classmates.

Cao Jiu has always kept a low profile in the court and never made mistakes.

But in the Zhou family, it was actually not peaceful.

Although Cao Jiu is the highest ranking member of the Zhou family, Cao Jiu is the grandson-in-law after all, and there are a lot of elders above him.

These elders were all big, and felt that Cao Jiu was able to come to this day only on the recommendation of the old man. The old man was too biased. He usually saw that Cao Jiu was not pleasing to the eye, and whenever he had something to do, he asked Cao Jiu to help him.

Although Cao Jiu spent money to buy the yard at the beginning, after the old man left, the Zhou family members silently forgot about it, and always treated Cao Jiu as a visiting son-in-law, saying that he lived and ate in the Zhou family.

Cao Jiu's personality is always gentle and honest when it comes to trivial matters.

Something happened to the Zhou family, and he silently helped clean up the tail.

Therefore, the innocence of the third young lady who was the most favored by the Zhou family back then has faded away. Her face was originally a bit long, but now she is very strong. She always quarrels with her family members. She looks a few years older, but she is actually younger.

The city was in chaos again, with various voices.

"Husband, if something happens, you take A Yuan away and leave those people alone." Zhou Yunzhu said resolutely.

Those she said included her father and uncle.

They paid a lot but got very little. They still live in the old house in this corner.

If it weren't for Zhou Yunzhu's temper, this old house wouldn't be able to keep it.

The whole family became more and more greedy.

Cao Jiu still looked good-tempered and nodded.

"I will take you and A Yuan with me, don't worry."

Suddenly, not far away, a ball of sparks exploded in the sky, which was the location of the imperial palace.

The light was so bright and so cold.
