Ji Guang fell down. But among the many country-protecting monks, no one noticed this. Everyone was watching the leaving figures of Lu Ping and Su Tang. At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly stopped, and everyone suddenly panicked. Fortunately, Lu Ping just glanced to the left, and then walked forward.
And in the direction where he was looking, there were four people in a row on the roof. They all shrank their necks and hid their bodies behind the ridge of the roof, not daring to let out a breath.
After a while, the four of them looked at each other, their expressions changing from nervous to embarrassed, but they couldn't laugh at all.
They were Wei Pingqian, Wei Pingyi, Qin Chuan, and Liang Tongbei. Among the giants of the four major families of the Xuan Army, just one stamp of their feet can make the whole world hear the sound. But now, the four giants are lying on the wall in such a shameful posture, timidly not daring to show their faces. They are probably like this only when they skipped school as children and were afraid of being caught by their husbands.
The four of them were embarrassed, but still did not speak rashly. After a while, Liang Tongbei was the first to speak, and said in a low voice: "Should we... leave?"
Qin Chuan was like the most courageous of the children. He bravely stuck his head out at this moment. After taking a look, he took a deep breath, turned over and leaned on the roof and said, "Let's go."
The other three people were immediately relieved after hearing this, and like Qin Chuan, they all hurriedly changed their positions and rested on the roof. Now that we have come to this point, each other's embarrassment is visible to each other, and the reasons are the same. It can be regarded as being honest with each other. What else can be hidden?
"He must have seen us, right?" Liang Tongbei said.
"It's not about seeing, it's about sensing." Qin Chuan said.
"So strong." Liang Tongbei's praise was simple. There may not be many people in the world who can make such a big man say such a compliment from the bottom of his heart. Then he turned his head, looked at the two Wei brothers who were lying on his side, and said, "Master Wei, it seems that your son's death was in vain."
Wei Pingqian's face was livid, but he knew that Liang Tongbei's words at this time were not to take pleasure in others' misfortune, but to feel helpless and helpless. Have the members of the four major families ever been forced to be so helpless? The key is not how terrifying Lu Ping's strength is, the key is that Lu Ping doesn't play according to conventional routines at all. Take the members of the four major families as an example. Although they have the strength to stand at the top of the cultivation world, most of the time when disputes or conflicts occur, they do not just resort to force. More often, they are resolved through communication, negotiation, and exchange of interests. Achieve satisfactory results. Of course, one's own strength is a very important foundation. Only with this foundation can one be qualified to negotiate terms and exchanges with others.
Although Lu Ping's origins are unknown and he does not know what deep background he has, his strength alone has given him a concrete foundation of strength and qualified qualifications.
But he didn't. He forced his way into Xuanjun City, and the Academy Supervisory Committee came directly to the door. The Protectorate's side also killed him forcefully, using his fists to fight his way out.
Such an approach was a bad move in the eyes of characters like them, but Lu Ping used such a bad move, leaving them with nothing to do. Hiding secretly on the roof, watching the battle, Lu Ping noticed a turn of his head when he was walking, which made them all shrink.
Their rules and regulations were crushed to pieces before Lu Ping's powerful power. So much so that the four powerful men who made everything possible were huddled on the roof like children hiding from their teachers, helpless.
Seeing how difficult it was to avenge his son, people like Wei Pingqian actually showed a bit of misery on their faces. But how can others be better than him? He could not avenge himself, but Qin Chuan suddenly felt an endless chill in his heart when he thought that Lu Ping had said that he would seek revenge on his second son again. However, the one who is most urgent at the moment is Wei Pingyi. It is his duty to defend the city in and out of Xuanjun City. At the moment, Lu Ping and Su Tang are rushing out of the city, and they want to break through the pass he is guarding. If you continue to huddle here, that's called leaving your post without permission; if you try to stop him, you're probably going to die for your generosity.
"Brothers." Liang Tongbei was relatively relaxed. After all, he was just carrying a nationwide arrest warrant and had done nothing for a year. He was not in a hurry for this moment. So he seemed to talk a little more, and it was he who broke the silence.
"This time, we really have to stand together." Liang Tongbei said while looking at the three giants.
"Say." Wei Pingqian said.
"Let's go see Emperor Xuan together." Liang Tongbei said.
"What did you say?" Wei Pingqian asked.
"We'll see what Emperor Xuan says first when the news from the Protectorate comes." Liang Tongbei said.
The three of them were silent, each looking thoughtful.
"If you really don't want to give up, then you have to ask Emperor Xuan to do something. If the Protectorate can't stop you, what use are we?" Liang Tongbei said.
"Do you really want it..." Liang Tongbei's expression changed. Thinking of that scene, he felt that his son's death was not a big deal.
The guy Liang Tongbei was referring to was the super-grade magic weapon at the bottom of the box in the Xuanjun Empire. When the nations were at war, it was a great weapon for the Xuan Army to seize this territory. It had never occurred to me before that I would use this super-grade magic weapon for a certain person.
But if you think about it carefully, besides this national treasure, does the Xuanjun Empire have any other trump cards? It seems to be gone. Naturally, there is more than one super-grade divine weapon in a country, but the super-grade divine weapon is miraculous in its effectiveness. Not every super-grade divine weapon has a superpower that can destroy the world and destroy the earth. It can really be used to control people like Lu Ping. Those who breed monsters may really only have that national treasure.
"Let's go." Wei Pingqian suddenly stood up.
The head of the Wei family already had an attitude, so Wei Pingyi naturally didn't need to ask anymore. Liang Tongbei looked at Qin Chuan. After the leader nodded, the four of them hurried to Xuanhua Palace.
However, the news that reached Xuanhua Palace faster than them was still news.
"The Protectorate suffered heavy casualties..." The news had just begun, and there was already an uproar in the Xuan Army Hall. However, after seeing Emperor Xuan's gloomy expression, everyone quickly became quiet.
"Where is Xing Wen? I said that within half an hour, I would see either the heads of Lu Ping and Su Tang, or his head." Xuan Huang said.
"Lord Xing... died in the line of duty..." The secret agent who answered had a trembling voice. The intelligence was passed back from the front step by step. Although he had not experienced the phenomenon, he had already felt how tragic the battle was from the intelligence. But what is more frightening than the tragedy is the despair revealed in it. The Protectorate suffered such tragic casualties, what about the other side? Leave calmly. What frightened him the most in the information was the word "calm".
The news of Xing Wen's death caused the Xuan Army Hall, which had been quiet for a second, to become commotion again. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the horror of Emperor Xuan, because the news in front of them was so shocking.
The Protectorate suffered heavy casualties, and the commander-in-chief died in the line of duty? What kind of master were they facing? This is something that anyone can relate to endlessly.
"Go on." Emperor Xuan didn't show any expression to anyone this time, and his tone suddenly became very ordinary. Everyone felt the unusual atmosphere, and the Xuanjun Hall became quiet again.
"Yes." The secret agent responded and hurriedly looked at the names written on the letter and read them one after another.
"Cheng Huan, a first-grade national protector monk, was killed in battle."
"Yan Bai, a first-grade national guardian monk, was killed in battle."
"Wen Ruan Ji, a first-grade national protector monk, was killed in battle."
"Yang Tong, a first-grade national guardian cultivator, was killed in battle."
"Second-grade national protector monk Sun Huai was killed in battle."
"Second-grade country-protecting monk, Li Moming, was killed in battle."
…
The names continued one after another, read out one by one from the secret agent's mouth in order of rank. Many people took a peek and felt frightened when they saw that the letter was densely written on more than one page.
Four first-grade country-protecting monks died. Doesn’t that sound like a lot? No! That's a lot. There are only ten people in the entire Huguo Academy who have been awarded the title of first-grade Protector of the Nation monks, including the chief Xing Wen. Therefore, including Xing Wen, five people died, and the first-grade country-protecting monks lost half of their lives in one breath.
Then second-grade, third-grade... a large number of names piled up, as if there was no end, making all the ministers couldn't help but wonder, are they chasing a young man, or is the Qingfeng Empire or the Queyue Empire approaching the city?
For several minutes, the Xuanjun Hall echoed with names like this one after another until the end.
"The number of monks killed in the battle above is one hundred and forty-one. Preliminary investigation."
The secret agent finished reading this sentence, but the content on the letter in his hand was not over yet.
"The injured." He said, and just after saying these two words, he heard the voice of Emperor Xuan.
"That's enough." Emperor Xuan said, his tone sounded neither salty nor light, making it impossible to figure out his thoughts.
All the ministers' heads were lowered. They knew Emperor Xuan's temper well and knew that Emperor Xuan was really angry at this moment. But the more he became like this, he would suppress his emotions and force himself to be calm, because only by being calm can he not make mistakes. Judging from the current results, the instructions given in anger were completely wrong.
"Where's Lu Ping? Where's Su Tang?" Emperor Xuan asked.
He wanted to know, after Xuanjun Protectorate paid such a price, what would be the fate of the two target people? He didn't dare to expect too much, because he knew that if these two people had been killed, no matter how many casualties the Protectorate suffered, he would still have completed his order, and the report sent would be called a success, but it was obviously not the case at the moment. .
"The two of them..." Looking at the words on the letterhead, the spy couldn't help but feel chilled again. As if he had gathered enough breath, he finally read out: "Leave calmly."
Leave calmly! ? ?
One hundred and forty-one members of the Protectorate were killed, including five top first-grade monks, and an unknown number of injured. And then the result was that these two people left calmly?
Does this mean that the Protectorate Association has caused them no trouble at all?
Does this mean that it was easy for them to kill half of the Protectorate?
Even those who have penetrated the five souls, I'm afraid they don't have such strong strength, right?
"Where have they gone?" Emperor Xuan asked urgently, no longer the unyielding appearance he had deliberately suppressed before.
"Further verification is needed." The spy said.
"Get up and leave the palace." Emperor Xuan suddenly stood up straight.
