This simple and clear sentence seemed very harsh in this empty restaurant.
"It's finally here!" Huang Daozhang breathed a sigh of relief after the shock and looked out the window: "Are they all here to see the announcement?"
Li Jun nodded without saying anything.
"A man may do something or not do something. Although what happened today is not my wish, it is my wish!"
Li Jun smiled slightly: "It's not our wish, but it fulfilled our wish!"
Huang Daozhang, Wang Chi, and Li Jun laughed together and said: "Hahaha! This way we are ordered!!"
………………
The Qi Dynasty announced to the world that King Longyu of Peiping had retired due to injury. Unlike the previous recuperation at home, the hidden officials were just like being dismissed, giving up the throne and official position. They did not have any rights in their hands and only enjoyed the salary and treatment they had received. In the past dynasties, the retired officials were older and could not find any fault. Officials, after occupying the position for a long time, there will always be people who are greedy. Due to their previous achievements, it is difficult to take action directly, so they decided to become a hidden official.
The first official in the Qi Dynasty was Long Yu. In the past, some older officials were directly dismissed by the prince or imprisoned for their crimes. They were so merciless. However, the same could not be said for Long Yu, the god of war of the dynasty. So Liu Cheng thought of this. Law.
As soon as the announcement came out, not to mention within the dynasty, the entire Kyushu was like an earthquake. The previous rumors were confirmed, and people were talking about it. They didn't know how badly Long Yu was injured, and why he would go into hiding. The previous battle with Jinghai Cihangzhai Si Xiu was about Yu Wenshang. Now, how to convince people?
The emperor's announcement cannot be changed or changed. Long Yu's Peiping throne is definitely gone, and no one can change it. Some people are regretful, some are happy, and some are ready to make a move.
One day after the promulgation of the Proclamation, before people could react, Emperor Liu Cheng issued several orders with a stroke of his pen. The whole city's imperial guards were mobilized, patrolling the whole city, prohibiting going out at night, canceling all restaurants, etc. During the night business hours of entertainment venues, no one was allowed to enter or exit any street in Wushuang City at night without a special warrant. A large number of foreign traders without residences were directly driven out of the city.
Immediately afterwards, Qiao Chu led the troops to move from their base to ten miles outside Wushuang City to prevent foreign thieves.
A total of 500,000 troops from all sides were pressed against the edge of Wushuang City. A chilling atmosphere could be felt from ten miles away. It seemed that the dynasty was facing a formidable enemy, but now that the world was at peace, where did the enemy come from? ?
The Xuanwu heavy-armored army responsible for protecting the inner courtyard of the palace also began to patrol day and night, strictly checking everyone entering and leaving the palace. Some guards, maids, and even some eunuchs who had stayed in the palace all year round were inexplicably kicked out of the palace without any charges. and reasons.
Some servants who had lived in the palace for many years did not know what mistakes they had made and who they had offended, so they were kicked out of the palace so easily. Some acquaintances even discussed it with each other, but could not find any common ground or reason.
The Three Thousand Ax Guards once again moved from the Immortal Palace back to the Wushuang Palace, patrolling day and night to protect the emperor's safety.
The guards in the entire Wushuang City were several times tighter in an instant. They were surrounded like an iron barrel. They were much more heavily guarded than when the men in black assassinated the emperor.
In the Wushuang Hall in the palace, Emperor Liu Cheng was protected by many guards, but he was still a little scared and felt uneasy.
"These people can't stop for a moment. They patrol day and night. If they find suspicious people, they will be executed immediately without reporting!"
Yu Deqi stood beside him and replied carefully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, not a single fly can fly in the imperial city now!"
"If he comes, can you resist for a while?" Liu Cheng felt a little relieved and turned to Lu Yu who was aside and asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if you lose, it won't be a problem to block him for a moment or three!" Lu Yu said confidently.
There were only three people in the palace. The emperor felt less uneasy in front of Yu Deqi and Lu Yu. He felt that he had lost his composure and hurriedly calmed down his expression to show the majesty of the emperor.
Yu Deqi and Lu Yu stood upright in front of the palace without any fear. Facing the unknown enemy, they didn't seem to care about it, and they were not as confused as Emperor Liu Cheng.
I don’t know if it’s because of lack of knowledge or because I feel guilty.
The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" came from outside the hall from time to time, without any weakening. Liu Cheng had become accustomed to the sound of the friction of soldiers and armor. A moment of silence would cause panic in his heart. Facing this enemy, Liu Cheng gave up all his strength. All the power.
Liu Cheng was bullied when he was young. Due to the constant war, his parents were separated early. He made a living by picking up garbage everywhere. Sometimes he was lucky enough to find hot meals, and sometimes he could only eat moldy and rotten food. It was cold. When the ground was freezing, there was no way to stay warm, so they could only set fire to the mountains and stay warm in the woods. If someone found out, they would be beaten severely, and they would have to hide everywhere at the risk of being burned to death.
The war in Kyushu has been going on for too long. The weak and the strong are everywhere. There are mountains of corpses every day. There is no paradise. Being alive is the greatest comfort and luck.
As Liu Cheng grew older, all this not only did not change at all, but became more cruel and chaotic. Liu Cheng relied on his perseverance to wander around the world, enduring all kinds of humiliation. At the same time, he desperately helped some friends in the world and formed his own circle.
Although Liu Cheng was not very good at martial arts, he always helped everyone in the past without asking for anything in return. His reputation for heroism spread, until that life-and-death encounter changed Liu Cheng's fate.
Back then, Long Yu was young and frivolous. He didn't know how high the sky was, and he wanted to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people. He was ready to eradicate the Mass Burial Village for Tian Xingdao.
The Mass Burial Village is a group of extremely powerful bandits who commit all kinds of evil. They have nearly a thousand people under their command. There is no grass growing in the areas they pass by. The men are killed directly and the women are tortured to death. The people hate this group of bandits, but there is nothing they can do.
At that time, several major forces were busy fighting everywhere, and no one had the intention to eliminate this group of powerful bandits. Moreover, there would be no benefits afterwards, and it would also weaken their own strength, and the reputation of Mass Burial Village would become bigger and bigger.
In troubled times, it is so tempting to not only not be implicated, but also to enjoy as much as you want every day. Many people with evil thoughts in their hearts are attracted to join the Mass Burial Village, and their power is growing. From a small group of Small thieves develop into evil forces that dominate the land.
Long Yu and several friends from the martial arts community discussed a night raid on the Mass Burial Village. Several people divided their labors and set fires everywhere, causing the entire Mass Burial Village to be plunged into a sea of flames. The Mass Burial Village was full of low-class people. Although they killed people and robbed all day long, they knew martial arts. There weren't many, and even if there were some, they were easily eliminated by Long Yu and a few friends who had a small mastery of Dragon Fist at that time.
The night was full of fire and there were miserable screams everywhere, but Long Yu and the others showed no mercy at all, and showed no need for mercy towards these beasts.
The most important task in Long Yu's heart is to kill Maggot Demon, the leader of the Mass Burial Village. He is the core figure of this evil force. Most of the people who started to join the Mass Burial Village seek refuge from their enemies. He has extremely high martial arts skills. There are few people in the world who are willing to have a grudge against him, and he has a lot of face. If he doesn't kill him, a second mass burial village will rise soon.
Long Yu had already found out the terrain of the Mass Burial Village. All the way up the mountain, the maggot demon lived in a huge room at the highest point.
Long Yu and his party of seven, two of them continued to eliminate harm at the bottom of the mountain, and five of them came to the top of the mountain to deal with this notorious maggot demon.
"Brother Long, this maggot demon won't hear what's going on down the mountain and run away!?"
"It's possible. There are fires everywhere under the mountain. His martial arts is not low, so he would have noticed it a long time ago. If he ran away, he would be destined to die. If he hadn't run away, today would be his death day!"
Seeing Long Yu and Wang Meng talking wantonly, Li Chuan reminded: "You two must not be careless. This maggot demon has been famous for a long time, and many seniors in the world are unwilling to be enemies with him. Naturally, there is some reason for this. Let's proceed with caution. , don’t fall into his plot!”
"Don't worry, brother Li Chuan, don't let me see this maggot demon, otherwise I will break his bones and muscles and let him harm others again!"
Li Chuan shook his head, knowing that Long Yu was young and energetic and didn't take his reminder to heart, so he had to cheer up and pay more attention.
The five of them opened the door together and entered the room.
In the dim room, even though there was only a slight glimmer of light, several people had deep blood and excellent eyesight. They could see the rows of furnishings in the room clearly, except for a figure in the middle that was blurry and drifting like a ghost.
The Maggot Demon is respected in the Mass Burial Village and has a very high status. There is no doubt that the figure in the room is the Maggot Demon. On impulse, Long Yu used his Dragon Fist and rushed over.
"Dragon Wind Kill!" Long Yu mainly uses Dragon Fist energy, and quickly turns the hand of Dragon Fist to attack, which is a move with super destructive power.
Long Yu flashed past and directly penetrated the figure in front, but there was no sound and no shock.
Wang Meng and Zhang Wei were very happy, thinking that Long Yu had succeeded with one blow, and were ready to step forward to celebrate.
No matter how powerful the moves are, how can they kill people invisible? ?
Li Chuan wanted to stop the two from coming forward, but he heard a loud noise behind him and the door had been closed.
Zhou Bo stepped forward to check, but found that the door could no longer be opened.
"How dare you juniors destroy my mass burial village and still want to go back alive??"
An extremely gloomy voice came from every corner of the house.
After Long Yu passed through the figure, he realized that it was just a piece of clothing, not a person.
Feeling that he was being played, Long Yu said angrily: "You old thief doesn't know what to say. We should have been destined to go back, and we are still killing you!!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" A burst of increasingly wild laughter seemed to be transmitted from hell to several people's ears, which made them confused.
"What a loud tone!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dark palm pressed on Long Yu's chest. Before Long Yu could react, he was knocked out by the palm.
"Poof!" He spat out a mouthful of blood. Long Yu was injured before the enemy was found!
The moment he was injured, Long Yu knew that he had underestimated the enemy, because he only saw one hand and did not see the person who hit him.
Wang Meng and Zhang Wei had just arrived at Long Yu's side and found that Long Yu had been knocked down. They were about to step forward to check Long Yu's injuries.
"Bang bang!" Two people were hit in the back and fell to their knees.
Zhou Bo was still at the door. He was anxious when he saw the three people injured. He was about to run to check, but was pulled by Li Chuan and leaned against him.
"Be careful of enemies!" Li Chuan reminded.
Zhou Bo knew that the enemy was at hand and was distracted. He and Li Chuan quickly moved back to back in the direction of Long Yu.
“Are you scared???”
The maggot demon's voice came from every corner from time to time, affecting their concentration.
Li Chuan was extremely anxious. Three masters had been lost before the enemy showed up. After all, he had underestimated this long-famous Maggot Demon.
