Xia Lin was soaked through as she hurriedly walked in the early morning rain. He kept shivering. The pace of his feet did not dare to stop at all.
Even though he was now out of the Golden Dome Hall, Xia Lin still felt that King Yan was staring at his back vest with those strange eyes... Those eyes were really terrifying!
Just one glance made Xia Lin tremble with fear and couldn't help himself... That was definitely not the look he was familiar with from King Yan!
Everything that happened tonight was too abnormal... there was an indescribable and unexplainable weirdness about it. This made Xia Lin feel scared.
So when Yan Huanren arranged the task of summoning three hundred palace guards, he was the first to say yes... The purpose was of course to escape from Yan Huanren as soon as possible and avoid the source of fear that made him feel afraid.
Xia Lin had already made plans in his mind. After summoning three hundred palace guards, he excused himself from illness and returned to the barracks to rest... In the next period of time, it would be best to live in seclusion... As he thought, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
The figure gradually disappeared into the drizzly darkness. It was not easy to summon so many palace guards at once in the middle of the night when others were sleeping.
You have to hurry up... soon. When we got close to Mao, the palace was still dark with no light at all.
If it had been in the past, the sky above the Yan Palace at Mao Shi would have already turned white, and it should have been dawn.
However, today, it is very different! As Mao hour approached, the sky became darker and darker. I don’t know when the sky above started to become covered with dark clouds!
The black clouds and fog oppressed people as if they were out of breath, and the rain began to intensify. Because of this, even at this hour, there is still no daylight, just like in the middle of the night, it is dark and midwinter, extremely gloomy... At this time, the palace guard Zhang Yan, a man running in the long street in the heavy rain. In the water, he was running very anxiously in the direction of the Golden Summit Palace.
All my clothes and armor were soaked with water, and the road was dark and I couldn't get a lantern, so I had no choice but to run in the dark.
He was a little depressed. Because not long ago, when the centurion of the palace guard gave the order to assemble, he did not dare to delay at all. He quickly got up and put on his clothes, prepared his outfit, and was ready to set off at any time.
But I don’t know what happened, maybe I accidentally caught a cold... Just as I was about to go to the gathering with the others, I suddenly felt upset... My stomach hurt so much that I wanted to go to the latrine... I was very scared. I would accidentally poop it in my pants, so I didn’t even dare to fart easily.
In the end, I couldn't hold it in anymore... I could only report to the centurion first, saying that I wanted to be a little more convenient before going to gather.
The centurion was very angry when he heard this and yelled that he was a lazy donkey. When it came time to work, he would either poop or pee!
But there is nothing that can be done about it. When people have three urgent needs, they can’t be kept in their pockets, right?
The centurion of the palace guard was not an unreasonable person. After scolding him, he asked him to speed up. After solving the problem, he immediately went to the Golden Dome Palace to gather.
Zhang Yan also knew that this was an order from King Yan and could not be disobeyed. Therefore, I can only resolve my personal matters as soon as possible and rush over as soon as possible.
He ran to the toilet in a hurry. After pooping, I felt much better. Unexpectedly, after hurriedly putting on his pants and coming out, he found that after such a delay, he was the only one left, and the others had left long ago without waiting for him... This is really terrible!
Zhang Yan was very anxious. Being the only one left and not meeting in time is equivalent to being late. I don’t know what kind of punishment I will receive for being late this time... In my anxiety, I can only seize the time and speed up to rush to the Golden Summit Palace.
Walking in heavy rain and wind, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"I wonder what is wrong with King Yan! He has to summon the palace guards in such bad weather...Isn't this torture?..." You know, in normal times, the palace guards' job is quite easy. None are difficult to do.
There is no need to guard the border, fight on the battlefield, or deal with monsters like a demon slayer, and there is no need to be busy handling various cases and trivial matters like the yamen in major cities.
They have only one responsibility. That is to patrol and guard the palace to protect the safety of the royal dignitaries!
But even this responsibility is just a formality. The palace is as strong as an iron barrel, and no bandit or villain can enter.
Even monsters can't sneak in. Very safe! The safest and most stable place in the entire Dayan Kingdom is this palace.
Therefore, for a long time, these palace guards have followed the royal dignitaries and have been accustomed to pampering themselves.
He had never been punished, and King Yan never made too stringent demands. However, I don’t know what happened today. People gathered before dawn... and it happened to rain heavily... I was really hard to adapt to being tossed around so violently... At least, Zhang Yan at this time It just feels so painful!
The symptoms of diarrhea have not been completely relieved, and the heavy rain has poured down my whole body.
feeling bad. If it weren't for the fear of being accused of disobeying the king's order, he really wouldn't want to go. But complaining is a complaint, and you still have to rush to the Golden Summit Palace as soon as possible.
Zhang Yan knew that the Golden Summit Hall was where the ancient ancestral cave of the Yan royal family was located. It was a restricted area on weekdays and no one was allowed to go there casually.
But today it was so unusual that more than 300 people were summoned to gather there... I was very curious. What exactly is it for?
About half the time it took to burn incense, he hurriedly and slowly arrived at the palace of the Golden Summit Palace. During the torrential rain, the palace of the Golden Dome Palace was shrouded in dark mist. Apart from the sound of rain splashing on the ground, there was no other sound.
There was no sound of anyone speaking to each other. Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel very confused. There are more than 300 people gathered in the palace. No matter how quiet and orderly it is, it is impossible for there to be no movement at all, not even the sound of coughing, right?
"Did I come to the wrong place?..." With this doubt in mind, he walked into the open palace door in the rain.
Facing the door is a tall wall bathed in rainwater. Going around the wall is the courtyard where the Golden Roof Hall is located.
He stepped on the muddy water and walked around the corner... However! The next scene that appeared in front of him made Zhang Yan unforgettable for the rest of his life!
I saw that the courtyard shrouded in rain was dark and crowded with people. They stood together, motionless and silent.
Although he couldn't see the faces clearly, Zhang Yan could immediately tell by looking at their clothes and armor that these people were the palace guards who came under the summons order!
These palace guards are exuding the same dark mist as in the sky. The mist is reflecting the dark clouds, attracting and blending with each other.
Zhang Yan was frightened! He hurriedly hid behind the wall behind the door, peeked through a corner and peeked inside!
Before I could understand what was going on, a voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard and said one word.
"Get up!" As the word fell to the ground, dark clouds quickly fell from the sky. The dark clouds and black energy turned into horses of dark mist!
The palace guards hunched up, flew into the clouds and rain in the sky, and quickly disappeared! Zhang Yan was immediately stunned when he saw this scene.
He wiped the rain off his face and looked up at the dark sky, trying to see something more.
At this time, the rain quickly became lighter and the dark clouds began to surge into the distance. A light shone down.
Its daybreak! However, there was nothing in the sky at this time. It was like a dream, suddenly awakened.
But Zhang Yan can absolutely guarantee that the scene he just saw is absolutely real! The black mist turned into a horse and flew away with three hundred palace guards on its back and disappeared!
That scene actually happened before my eyes. Moreover, he heard that sound
"Get up!" The word was exactly the voice of King Yan! You can't go wrong.
"King Yan!! Where is King Yan now?..." Zhang Yan quickly looked away. He walked around the wall covering the door and looked around the entire courtyard carefully in the early morning light.
However, the courtyard at this time was as empty as the clear sky, with nothing. King Yan also disappeared...
