"Inner sanctum!"
Wang Zang's tracking technique failed, but Dong Zhongshu took the opportunity to insert the tracking spell mark of the unity of heaven and man, which showed the true direction.
His body felt cold.
There was only one corpse in the inner sanctum.
Shi Wudao's real target is probably Emperor Jing.
If they were not recruited by the New Emperor, this lack of protection would be enough to be beheaded in public.
Dong Zhongshu had a little cold sweat on his forehead.
Dong Zhongshu was really struggling in the current fight. He was not only hit by the collapsed building, but also had the hidden danger of forcibly entering the solipsistic state. He was suppressed by Li Guang's Taiqing Zhen Technique.
Whenever he uses his strength to fight, hidden dangers will inevitably arise.
However, Shi Wudao is not a living person at the moment, and such dead things can easily escape.
If he couldn't kill him with one blow, Dong Zhongshu would be extremely uncomfortable with the revenge he would receive after escaping.
He knew the general direction at this time, but he had many worries in his heart and did not dare to speak for a while.
"Dr. Dong?"
Wang Zang's spell failed. Not only was he hit by blood arrows, but he also suffered the backlash of interrupted spell casting. He would be unable to exert any force for a while.
This made the new emperor feel a little depressed, and he also asked Dong Zhongshu, the third great Confucian monk.
"Your Majesty, if we find Shi Wu Dao, how can we effectively attack him?"
Dong Zhongshu did not search directly, but asked the new emperor a question.
"The two captains of the imperial guards are extremely powerful and can resist evil spirits and demons," the new emperor replied.
"Chief Guard Li, Chief Guard Cheng, if you have any clues, can you kill Zhi Wu Dao completely?" Dong Zhongshu asked towards the entrance of the hall.
"I'm only good at guarding, but I'm not very good at catching this damn thing." Cheng Bushi turned around and replied.
"My arrow..."
Dong Zhongshu's hesitation also corresponds to Li Guang's hesitation.
Ruo Shi Wu Dao controlled Emperor Jing's body to emerge from the coffin, and Li Guang also didn't know how to deal with it.
At this moment, he just wanted to turn into Cheng Bushi. If he didn't have the ability, it would be easier to shirk.
"Dr. Dong, has he determined where the corpse is?" Li Guang asked.
"As long as you can kill him completely, I am willing to give it a try. If you can't kill Zhi Wu Dao, then it is better to wait for dawn to make it difficult for him to hide and have to retreat, and then thoroughly investigate the whole city in the daytime," Dong Zhongshu said.
"Does this mean that the corpse will be left without a way out?"
Before Li Guang could reply, the new emperor on the dragon throne felt anxious.
Let him do this today and do that tomorrow. He has few days to worry about.
For the new emperor, the right way is to directly kill any provocateur or even completely eliminate them.
He didn't want to play back and forth with these people, nor could he sit back and watch the royal family's face be trampled on again and again.
However, the situation where all the ministers in the court were like scattered sand made the new emperor feel helpless.
This is something that Emperor Jing often mentioned in the past, and now the new Emperor has realized it.
He looked at the senior officials of the Sangong and Jiuqing, then glanced at Zhao Wan and Wang Zang, and finally focused on Dong Zhongshu and Li Guang, who were leaning forward to confess.
"not good!"
If it is said that most of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers are wise and wise in protecting themselves, and there are also people who have a lot of involvement with the Empress Dowager, resulting in inefficiency in work, Li Guang, Dong Zhongshu and others were all named by Emperor Jing.
Some of these people are suspicious but available, and some are available and even reusable.
The new emperor was unwilling to follow the old system and had his own subjective judgment, but he undoubtedly believed in his father's previous instructions.
There must be scruples in allowing Dong Zhongshu and Li Guang to talk and test back and forth.
In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there are not many things that can still cause concern despite his eloquent words.
One involves the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace, and the other involves the late emperor.
Changle Palace had already refused to retreat, so the rest of the matter is not difficult to guess.
"Go to the inner sanctum!"
On the dragon chair, the new emperor quickly stood up and then stepped down.
He stepped on the ground where the eunuchs quickly cleaned away the dirty blood and flesh, ignored the barrier that the censor Zhi Bu Ning had condensed with the treasure, and directly chose to move forward.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Zhi Buling exclaimed, but he was also hurriedly contracting the magic power he controlled.
He withdrew his magic power from his body, and the new emperor had strode forward several meters past him.
Then Prime Minister Wei Wan bowed and stretched out his hand to stop him, but was immediately knocked by the hilt of the long sword worn by the new emperor.
When Wei Wan shivered and contracted her red and swollen right hand, no one among the three ministers and nine ministers dared to intercept him.
Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to follow behind the new emperor and wink at Li Guang and Cheng Bushi.
"It's dangerous outside, Your Majesty..."
When Cheng Buzhi was about to reach out to intercept, he heard Li Guang coughing in a low voice, which made him quickly retract his hand.
"Your Majesty can always stay by your side. Your Majesty will definitely protect His Majesty's safety to the death!"
Cheng Bushi turned around and put down the big sword he was carrying, and there was a heavy shield with Xuanwu in his hand.
"Go to the inner sanctum!"
The new emperor repeated, and Cheng Bushi quickly changed the direction of the heavy shield he had propped up.
He stepped forward to resist, and the new emperor stepped quickly behind him.
"Dr. Dong?"
Li Guang whispered, Dong Zhongshu pointed at his body, then nodded, and quickly followed behind the new emperor.
He didn't have the confidence to directly point out where Shi Wudao was, but the hint from talking to Li Guang clearly made the new emperor understand.
There was no one around Dong Zhongshu to guard him at all times, but the new emperor was. The new emperor was not afraid of provoking Shi Wudao, and it was difficult for Zhi Wudao to truly take revenge on the new emperor.
What's more important is that the new emperor has no taboo against checking Emperor Jing's body.
This kind of thing can only be done by the new emperor, not by ministers like them.
After leaving the main hall of Wuyang Palace, turn around and walk a hundred meters to the inner hall where the coffin of Emperor Jing is held.
Compared to Weiyang Palace, the center of supreme power, the layout here is obviously a lower level.
But there is no shortage of civil servants and military officers here, and nearly twenty people are involved in keeping vigil here overnight.
The new emperor paid attention to all the officials and saw that no one dared to relax during the wake, and he could not help but doubt his own judgment.
But he soon set his sights on the coffin.
"Seven days after the body is placed in the coffin, do not open the coffin to worship me again."
Some of Emperor Jing's instructions before his death still echoed in the new emperor's mind. Looking at the coffin, he didn't know whether to open it or not.
"It's too late, it's too late, hahahaha~"
Shi Wudao's voice kept echoing in the inner hall.
"What would you do if I reappeared as Emperor Jing?"
Above the coffin, bursts of black and gray smoke continued to linger, and from time to time it turned into a terrifying and ferocious face.
Waves of corpse energy continued to escape, and the cold breath quickly filled the air, causing the nearby civil servants and generals to be horrified for a moment, and their energy, blood, and magic power bloomed rapidly.
"Do you want to rebel and kill the emperor, or are you willing to respect me as emperor?"
The big face on the coffin burst into laughter.
He looked at the civil servants and generals who were afraid of humiliating the former emperor's body and did not dare to step forward. He also looked at the new emperor who was so swollen that his face was red, and he felt a sigh of resentment spit out.
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, this talisman can seal Wu Dao's corpse in the coffin. The talisman will definitely kill him for seven, seven and forty-nine days!"
When the new emperor was angry and depressed, he heard footsteps and orders coming from outside the inner hall.
Obviously, all the changes were almost as expected by the Empress Dowager.
A golden talisman floated up and covered the coffin.
At the same time, a ray of fire floated in the sky.
The pale flames were like flies chasing carrion, quickly following the corpse's aura.
"Nan Minghuo!"
Dong Zhongshu's heart moved.
This is an ability he knows, but it is not an ability he can show in front of the new emperor.
This flame can burn the corpse of Wu Dao, and it can also burn the corpse of Emperor Jing.
Killing the former is meritorious, destroying the latter is a capital offense.
It is difficult to offset merits and demerits, and it is difficult to control life and death.
But there is no problem if someone else starts the fire.
