It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Tamros smiled sadly and said:

"Glem, do you remember the day when you, I, and His Royal Highness Xi Wang secretly discussed? We originally planned to kill the White-Robed Prime Minister in Tianyue Mountain, but because we were worried that the plan would fail, His Royal Highness Xi Wang took out a letter, which was a secret letter from the Dragon Clan... That day I told you that it's best not to do this! If it succeeds, we will all be sinners of humanity, beasts in human clothing..."

Gram slammed his fist into the wall.

"Why? Don't those dragon guys have any brains? If they kill us, who will rule over humans in their place?"

At this time, the jailer outside shouted:

"It's on fire! Run away!!"

Graham rushed to the iron railing and shouted:

"Let us out! Hey, you guys, throw the key over here, we are the Ten Ministers and Ten Generals..."

No one paid any attention to them.

Tamros said slowly:

"They don't need our help anymore... They don't plan to treat humans as their slaves, so naturally they don't need slave owners. They treat us as animals, they can kill us if they want, and sell us if they want... They are like heaven and earth, and what about us? We are just dogs made of straw..."

The other prisoners were released one after another, and the heat of the flames came from the other side of the wall. Before the last jailer left, he looked at the two of them and sneered:

"Although I don't know what happened, those dragons outside are closely related to you, right? What ten ministers and ten generals? Bah! How can humans have scum like you? It's shameful to associate with you!"

Graham punched the iron bars of the cell, his face flushed as he cursed:

"How dare you!"

The jailer turned and left.

Graham sat dejectedly on the ground, the flames had already spread to the corridor.

Behind him, Tamros laughed.

He said with deep malice:

"It doesn't matter... Let them go. We'll go ahead and wait for them in hell."

In the flames, the howls of pain became louder and louder.

And at a certain moment, it suddenly stopped.

65. Confused Mother's Confused Clues

The person who escaped from the royal capital the fastest was none other than the king, who was surrounded by the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards.

When the king escaped, he felt a little embarrassed.

After all, leading such a large group of people, including most of the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards, as well as about half of the Tiance Mansion members, to escape in a mighty and vigorous manner, it was a bit cowardly no matter how you think about it. If these forces were used to defend the capital, the capital would not have been reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

But who has the courage to confront the dragons head-on?

Seeing people of similar strength around them being crushed to dust in an instant, everyone was filled with fear that penetrated deep into their bones.

"If it was me who was stepped on just now", "If I had touched that flame just now", "If I had stayed here any longer" ... different kinds of thoughts lead to the same ending.

--will die.

When these two words are deeply imprinted in one's mind, fear is like the sea water that overwhelms reason, dragging a person into the bottom of the water where he can't see anything. When he comes to his senses, he will find that there is no other option except to escape.

The king brushed the dust off his red cloak and coughed a few times in a dignified manner.

The people around immediately stood up straight.

The king said solemnly:

"I'm afraid the capital can't be saved now. But as the king of mankind, I can't watch the dragons wreak havoc on my territory. In short, escort me to the nearest city first, gather an army and launch a counterattack! At the same time, order the Tiance Mansion... Tsk, unreliable things... Xige, starting today, you are responsible for asking the lords for troops, and let them bring people to support the capital as soon as possible!"

The commander of the Jinyiwei, Xige, replied calmly:

"Yes."

The commander of the Royal Guards asked:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chao and the others are still in the capital, we..."

The king waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry! As long as the king is alive..."

——As long as this prince is alive, he can still take concubines and have children.

——After all, I am still in my prime.

The king did not say this out loud, for he knew how to win people's hearts. When the words came to his lips, the king changed his words and said:

"As long as I am alive, I will avenge them! I wish to tear King Xi, Tamros, Graham, and the other ten ministers and generals who participated in this into pieces! But I am the king of Yongtian now, and I must consider the country. At this critical moment, I cannot die! Do you understand? Now, escort me away!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards bowed and said:

"As ordered!"

Sig asked:

"Your Majesty. Princess Lana is not in the capital. Should we send someone to rescue her?"

The king smiled. He looked far away and said:

"Save her? The place where she is is scarier than the capital, it's the hell of hell. If you're not afraid, go save her... I'm sorry for her, but I don't have the energy to waste on this place."

After saying this, he turned around magnificently, and the broken snow brushed against his red cloak, which was lifted up.

The king cried out:

"Preserve your strength to the greatest extent possible! Everyone, follow me and leave!"

Sig and the commander of the Royal Guards looked at each other, neither of them said a word, and they led their troops away with the king.

……

King's capital.

Xuanqing Palace.

"It's just...how can I explain it to you?"

Inside the room, a man and a woman were having the following conversation:

"Please, please take responsibility..."

"It's straight to the stage of taking responsibility? There's no explanation anymore, right?"

"But, look, I, I'm not wearing any clothes, and you, you're not wearing any clothes either..."

"Hmm...it seems so."

"It's been tainted... It's been tainted. Do you know? This year I only have..."

"So listen to my explanation!! It's not what you think."

The girl covered her body with a sheet, with only her shoulders exposed. In front of her was a young man wearing only boxer briefs. Although he was trying to put his clothes on, it was obvious that this was already a crime scene.

Recalling the experience of losing consciousness inexplicably as soon as she entered the door, the girl couldn't help crying.

The only suspect at the moment, Lord Lide of Yuxi City, was rubbing his head, looking distressed:

"This is really troublesome. You know, instead of worrying about this problem, the more terrifying thing right now is the dragon outside, okay?"

"Dragon? I know dragons. They are the creatures that can sit on people and are under the jurisdiction of Tiance Mansion, right? They are very docile."

"Not those dragons, but the dragons from outside."

"A dragon from outside?"

"… Never mind. Take a look for yourself."

Reed walked forward, wrapped the naked girl in a quilt, carried her to the window, and let her look out.

The young girl's eyes widened at the first apocalyptic scene.

The Xuanqing Palace was very high, and although it couldn't overlook the entire capital, it could see the disasters coming in the distance. It could see the blazing flames, and it could also see the huge silver-grey dragon sitting on the ruins of the inner palace of the capital.

"what is that……"

Ignoring the girl's murmurs, Lid threw the girl back on the bed and returned the maid's clothes to her. He quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go out. After thinking for a while, he stepped back and said to the girl lying on the bed:

"Hurry up and change your clothes. I'm in a hurry."

The palace maid lying on the bed tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

Lid rubbed his temple and said:

"After all, it's our responsibility that you didn't escape in time. I'll take you to a safe place first."

The maid immediately showed an expression of obvious happiness.

She seems to have a lot of expressions.

"Okay. My name is Nayin. Um, um..."

"What else?"

"Look at me, I can't change..."

Reed turned around and heard the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other behind him.

During this short period of time, Lid asked:

"Nayin. You are a maid in the palace, right? Who did you work for before? Do you know where Princess Lana is?"

The maid named Nain answered while buttoning her clothes:

"So many questions... Um, what did you say just now... Princess Lana? I used to work for Princess Lana. Her Highness Lana is super cute~ I've always wanted to touch her cheek, I always feel that it must be soft~ But I heard that Princess Lana was locked up in a small dark room... I don't know if I can see her again..."

Lid asked:

"Do you know where she is being held?"

"I do not know."

Nayin answered simply and concisely that she had already changed her dress and was putting on her shoes.

"But there are many people in the capital who know where the royal family is imprisoned. I just don't know it."

"for example?"

Nayin thought for a moment and replied:

"For example, the high official in white clothes. I don't know his name... but he knows everything about the capital. He has great power and can go anywhere except the inner palace. If it's him, he must know."

66. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood

Among the ruins of the hall, the dust floating in the air has reached a level that covers the sky and the sun.

The half of the white jade pillar that stretched between heaven and earth collapsed in the flames and shattered on the ground.

There was a figure running in the smoke.

"Um... where are we going?"

Nayin clumsily climbed up a pile of rubble and asked Lid who was already standing there.

The visibility is too low, and you can't see clearly even if you climb to a high place.

"Not sure yet... Shh. Someone's coming."

Another figure ran over in the smoke and dust, and the two sides met face to face. With the situation unclear, the other party raised his weapon cautiously and shouted loudly:

"who?"

"The Lord of Yuxi City, Lid, and the maid of the little princess Lana. What about you?"

The three soldiers in black armor put down their spears and answered:

"Royal Guards. What the hell... Why are you here? Didn't the city lords leave Xuanqing Palace?"

There was still some alertness in the soldiers' eyes. One of the soldiers was severely burned and his arm was still bleeding. Lid glanced at him, turned to the soldier who had just answered, and asked:

"You fought against the dragons? Who is in command of the king now?"

The soldier hesitated and replied:

"The White Guards are fighting with the Dragon Clan. The rest... the Imperial Guards, the Embroidered Guards, and the Tiance Mansion are nowhere to be found. Have you seen our commander? We haven't received any orders yet, and we don't know what to do."
