Two days later, a piece of news once again reached Tianhe Palace.
However, what came was not the good news that the real dragon was captured alive, but the bad news that the coach Zhou Renyi was killed, the 150,000 army was routed, with less than 80,000 people left, and the evil dragon was coming straight to Tiandu. .
For a moment, the entire court was silent and filled with oppressive low pressure, but no one dared to speak first, lest the dark-faced man on the dragon chair would vent his anger.
Everyone knew that Zhou Renyi, the commander of the 150,000-strong army, and the current emperor were half-brothers. However, everyone in the hall only knew one of them, but not the other.
In fact, they are real brothers from the same father and mother. As for the inside story, it was the filth in the royal family back then. Now the only person who knows the truth is the living Emperor Zhou.
Otherwise, in the eyes of everyone, such good things as capturing a real dragon alive, taking charge of an army of 150,000 people and countless great religious masters, how could such good things as be recorded in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as Zhou Renyi, the lord of Youzhou.
At this moment, Zhou Tianzi's face was gloomy and his pupils were vaguely red, but his years of imperial training did not allow him to explode in front of him. After so many years of wielding power, he felt so aggrieved and angry for the first time.
It's just a beast, how dare it? ! ! !
Now that his own brother is dead, how can he explain it to his mother and concubine who are under the influence of Jiuquan?
An army of 150,000 warriors, and even Ren Qing, whom he had trained since childhood, died along with him, which could not save his younger brother.
It's all rubbish! ! !
Suddenly, Emperor Zhou was angry and angry.
Not only was he angry that the 150,000-strong army was like a pig, so many soldiers could not protect their commander, but he was also angry that the beast dared to do such an evil deed. If he had known, he should have sent an extra state army there.
He remembered the revenge of his brother today!
The day the evil dragon comes to Tiandu is the day it will be scaled and cramped!
Thinking of this, he stood up directly, ignored everyone and retreated back to the palace without saying a word.
He had a dark face along the way, ignoring everything around him, and headed straight towards his private palace.
When he returned to his bedroom and was alone, he took off his black and white gold embroidered robe and turned an oil lamp beside him.
Suddenly, with a slight sound of a mechanism turning, a secret secret door opened.
It is unimaginable that as the true controller of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and can be said to be the master of the world, he would actually set up a secret secret room in his own palace. This is an incredible thing.
However, at this moment, Emperor Zhou ignored these unnecessary things in the eyes of others, and silently walked into the secret door.
The space inside the secret door is very empty, with only a blood pool in the middle. There is a bright crystal stone placed near the blood pool. The crystal stone is about the size of a human head, and there is a bookshelf near the door. On the bookshelf There is only one brocade box.
Zhou Tianzi opened the brocade box from the bookshelf with familiarity, carefully picked up an ancient book from it, and then walked into the blood pool.
He just leaned against the wall of the blood pool, holding an ancient book and studying it quietly. On the cover of the ancient book, there seemed to be a few ancient words written loomingly: Autobiography of Zhou Gaozu.
As time went by, the crystal became more and more brilliant. Suddenly there was a slight "plop" sound in the air, the crystal disappeared, and in the turbid blood pool, something seemed to be surrounding the man who was reading. swim.
The blood pool began to gradually clear up.
…
Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
After receiving the news that the real dragon was about to attack, the whole sky became a little lively.
There are those who are afraid of being affected, so they sell their property and drag their families and run away, there are also those who are unable to escape and can only endure it, and there are even more who are not afraid of death and just come to watch the fun.
A dragon that has never been seen in thousands of years, even if it is as stupid as a beggar on the street, everyone knows that this is about to be a big event that will shake the past and the present. How can such a big event not make people curious.
Under this situation, various teahouse storytellers took advantage of this opportunity to make up all kinds of messy stories, which aroused everyone's discussion and became a major event in which all the people participated.
For a time, even the news of the death of the Lord Protector of the Tianfu Palace and the current Zhou Dynasty was covered up, and not many people paid attention to it.
Until half a month later, after such a long time, the real dragon that aroused everyone's curiosity has not yet appeared, and it has begun to make people suspicious.
This matter may be false, so everyone stopped discussing it. When it was mentioned occasionally, a few people felt that they had been deceived and cursed at the dragon.
However, the second young master of the Wu family in Tiandu didn't think so about this matter.
He has been in Tiandu since he was a child, a place that has longed for creatures like dragons the most. Since he has no talent for martial arts, he can only be an ordinary person and is influenced by them. He has inexplicably fallen in love with creatures like dragons.
Dragon is a mysterious creature with titles such as "King of Strange Beasts", "Standing at the Pinnacle of All Strange Beasts", "Eternal Immortal God" and so on.
Such a great and beautiful creature seemed to have nothing to do with a stupid person like him who had no talent as a warrior.
But he just longed for Him, as if he could gain strength and confidence in this way.
Now that he heard the news that "the real dragon is coming soon." was spread all over the world, he was the most excited among them.
I was so excited that I would run out of the house every day, and go to teahouses and other places that were the favorite places of various religions and religions. I would hear the storytellers and the deeds of the dragon, and I would be rewarded with large sums of money when I heard the excitement.
However, as time goes by, the dragon has not arrived. His popularity among the people has gradually disappeared, and there is no longer any discussion.
It is even suspected that this is another fictitious incident, made up by some thoughtful people.
The worse ones would even scold "Long is just like that. Just hearing the name of Great Zhou Tiandu makes me so scared that I don't dare to come" and other insulting messages to the dragon.
This made him angry and angry, but he couldn't find a place to refute, because he knew that the younger brother of the current emperor was killed, and now the emperor hates dragons.
Maybe this kind of news was sent out by the Holy Spirit to slander Long, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only drown his sorrow with food.
"Alas~~" He sighed silently. Wu Ming, the second young master of the Wu family, walked out of the teahouse helplessly once again. Time had passed so long that there were no storytellers telling stories about dragons.
"Hey, isn't this the second young master of the Wu family?"
At this time, a joking voice came from the distance, and a handsome young man in luxurious clothes and two attendants walked over.
He crossed his arms and looked at the little fat man in front of him with a smile and said, "What, are you looking for your dragon again?"
"I told you, it's a lie. Even if it's true, it's just a fat dragon without courage."
"Yes, just as fat as you!"
"You!" Being insulted by this was not only an insult to him, but also an insult to his favorite dragon. Wu Ming's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to roll up his sleeves and do something.
But looking at the two burly figures behind the man in front of him, he couldn't help but pause, and thought he was careless. He didn't go out with his entourage today.
In the end, I could only point at him and squirm: "Wang Gaowen, you, don't go too far!"
"Hey, why did I go too far? Am I not telling the truth?"
Seeing the aggrieved look of the little fat man in front of him, Wang Gaowen, his mortal enemy, felt secretly happy in his heart. He liked the feeling that others were angry with him but couldn't do anything to him.
Especially when facing his mortal enemy, the feeling is even more exciting!
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw the fat man in front of him and his expression changed. First he was shocked, then ecstatic and finally afraid.
what's the situation?
Out of curiosity, he slowly followed the gaze of the guy in front of him, and for a moment a slender monster in the distance came into his sight... No, that's not a monster!
That's a dragon! ! !
At the same time, from nowhere, a piercing scream resounded through the sky and echoed throughout the entire sky!
"The dragon is coming!!!"
