In the woods, the atmosphere was a bit cold.
The rest of the people present held their breath. None of them dared to offend any of these three people.
One is the prince, one is the queen mother, and the other is the real master of the Ten Thousand Demons Association.
They did have a motive for joining the Ten Thousand Demons Association. If there were no benefits, how could they be willing to take the risk?
But the current situation was indeed beyond their expectations.
As a first-rank official, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice thought that he had enough information, but in the end, he was just a frog at the bottom of a well, and all he could see was the mouth of the well.
In the woods, it suddenly seemed a little quiet.
Sun Yanlu narrowed his eyes and said, "Feiniao, if this is the case, then I will quit."
The title changed from Asuka-sama to Asuka again.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Sun Yanlu bluntly stated that he wanted to quit, which is definitely not a small matter.
Although the officials present did not know much about the prince's confidence, it was not that no one had heard of the prince's past affairs in the world.
And the fact that Sun Yanlu can appear here already shows his strength.
Listening to Sun Yanlu's words, Feiniao just raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Prince Sun threatening me?"
Sun Yanlu said calmly: "It's not a threat, but if the person sitting on that chair is not me, then there is no need for us to continue to cooperate."
The Queen Mother suddenly sneered and said: "Your Majesty is really good at it, but does he really think that he can get what he wants by withdrawing as an excuse? There is only one chair. If you don't fight with me, it will save me trouble."
Sun Yanlu squinted his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, sizing up this woman and just smiled disdainfully.
A person who relies on his own son will not be able to get on the stage.
At the very least, in his eyes, he couldn't stand on the stage.
Seeing Sun Yanlu's disdainful smile, the Queen Mother became slightly angry and frowned: "Why is the prince laughing? Am I wrong?"
As she spoke, a demonic aura was already flowing through her body.
Sun Yanlu was aware of this demonic aura. He twisted his lips and said with a smile: "So you have become a demon. No wonder you dare to talk to me like this."
The Queen Mother did not remain calm, a mass of demonic energy slowly condensed in her palm, and she patted Sun Yanlu.
Sun Yanlu waved his sleeves to block the demonic aura. He took a few steps back and stood there, but did not fight back.
However, after the Queen Mother's attack, Sun Yanlu frowned.
He turned to look at Asuka with suspicious eyes.
But the Queen Mother had no intention of letting Sun Yanlu go just like that. The demonic energy in her hand gradually condensed into a long whip and whipped towards Sun Yanlu.
The demonic energy exploded instantly the moment the whip was released.
Sun Yanlu did not dare to be negligent. He had already discovered that something was not right about the demonic aura on the Queen Mother's body.
That demonic aura was anything but ordinary.
It is not like the demonic energy that has only gathered in recent days, but has been settling in the Queen Mother's body for many years.
In an instant, Sun Yanlu unsheathed his long sword and swung his sword towards the demon whip. After cutting off the demon whip, he immediately raised the sword and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother quickly let go of the demon whip in her hand and put her hands on her chest. A large amount of demon energy gathered in her palms again, forming a demon wall that hit Sun Yanlu's sword, setting off layers of air waves in just an instant.
When gods fight, mortals always suffer.
Those officials were all affected by the air wave and were knocked away one after another. Some of the unlucky ones even hit a big tree, with traces of blood already coming from the corners of their mouths.
For a moment, there was a sense of tension in the woods.
People who were still friends at the beginning would actually attack each other, and it was definitely not about competing with each other, but trying to completely suppress the other party.
The smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger. The two sides exchanged blows one after another, and the air waves came one after another. The officials hid far away to avoid being affected.
Only the flying bird has been observing nearby and remains calm.
"If the two of you continue to fight, the person sitting in that chair will only be Sun Gusheng."
Finally, at the moment when the two of them pulled away, Asuka spoke.
The two of them stopped and looked back at Asuka.
Sun Yanlu said angrily: "Feiniao, it was you who wanted to cooperate with me in the first place. If it weren't for that chair, how could I agree to it?"
The Queen Mother was also dissatisfied and said: "Feiniao, I wanted to spend my whole life like this. You forced me to pick up things from many years ago, but in the end you cheated on both sides?"
Feiniao walked over with a smile, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I did deceive you two, but if I didn't do this, you two would definitely not cooperate with me."
The two of them were about to speak, but were interrupted by Feiniao: "Don't worry, you two. Who does that chair belong to? You two can discuss it later, but the first thing to do right now is to put the person on that chair first." Pull it off, isn’t it?”
After hearing this, the two of them started thinking.
What Asuka said does make sense.
Asuka continued: "If you can't even pull the person out of the chair, how can you say who should sit on the chair? Both of you are smart people. You shouldn't be confused about such a trivial matter, right?"
Asuka always kept smiling.
But for some reason, both Sun Yanlu and the Empress Dowager felt that Feiniao's smile was a bit perceptive, and even had a deeper meaning.
Sun Yanlu frowned and asked, "What about you? What is your purpose?"
Probably because of Feiniao's words, Sun Yanlu thought of many things.
He had been struggling with the ownership of that chair before, but now he wanted to understand something.
That chair will only be occupied by himself or the Queen Mother in the end, and other officials also got what they wanted in this process, but these things are only beneficial to themselves.
What about flying birds?
What exactly does she want?
She never showed any interest in that chair from beginning to end. Was she really just trying to help herself?
Sun Yanlu never believed it.
Sun Yanlu looked at Feiniao, trying to read something from her face.
Feiniao also saw Sun Yanlu's thoughts, but just smiled and said: "You don't need to know what I want. You just need to know that I won't compete with you for that chair."
The atmosphere gradually relaxed a little, and Feiniao smiled and said: "You will know the answer after the matter is completed."
Sun Yanlu and the Queen Mother looked at each other and then shook hands for the time being.
After that, Asuka simply said a few insignificant words, then turned and left.
Sun Yanlu left the woods, thinking about what Asuka just said all the way.
He just thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out.
Flying birds are really hard to see through.
The flying bird left the woods and came to a stream.
She bent down, picked up a stone, played with it in her hands, and waited quietly.
After a long time, Feiniao felt a little frustrated, threw a stone into the stream, and murmured: "I have done so much for you, but you still don't want to see me?"
…
…
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Kyoto, which was originally calm, suddenly exploded.
The first monster appeared on the street.
The demon was like a wild beast, roaring in his mouth, leaping onto the street and biting everyone he saw.
But the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets disappeared overnight. The demon was allowed to cause chaos in the city, but no one came out to stop it.
Until a group of people came to the street riding military horses, fell on the demon with a knife, and cut off the demon's head.
The common people looked at that group of people, then looked at their clothes, and exclaimed: "It's the border army!"
The border army quickly set up a line of defense and immediately dispersed the people, telling them to stay at home and not go out.
The common people were a little confused, but the arrival of the border troops in Kyoto was no longer a trivial matter in their eyes, so they obeyed obediently.
Guan Jing also came to Gu Mansion at the same time.
In the ancient mansion, Gu Xiaotian, Li Pingping, and Sun Gusheng were all in the same room, while the chief manager Zheng Dehai and his grandfather only came back briefly yesterday to adjust, and then left again. At this time, they didn't know where they went.
Guan Jinghui reported: "The border army has set up several lines of defense in Kyoto, and it seems that the situation is still stable."
Li Pingping rubbed her wounds and asked, "Do you know the movements of the Queen Mother and Sun Yanlu?"
Guan Jing shook his head.
Last night, he sent Xu Yuanzhi to investigate, but found nothing.
Xu Yuanzhi also had a nickname in the border army, Eagle Dog.
In terms of detecting intelligence, Xu Yuanzhi can be regarded as a good hand. The reason why the Border Army has been able to win many victories is largely due to Xu Yuanzhi's intelligence.
Sun Gusheng said silently: "Prime Minister Li, now we can only watch the Secret Investigation Department."
Since yesterday, the Secret Investigation Division has been lurking in the dark.
It wasn't that the Secret Investigation Department didn't want to move, but that they had received an order from Sun Gusheng, telling them not to surface so early to avoid being caught.
The Secret Investigation Department is the last trump card in Kyoto, and the only people in the room who know about him are probably the few in the room.
However, Li Pingping shook her head and said: "If we only rely on the Secret Investigation Department, it will probably be difficult to win this battle."
Sun Gusheng was silent.
It is true that no matter how strong the Secret Investigation Department is, due to its special nature, there are not many people in it. It is indeed difficult to deal with so many people.
Gu Xiaotian stood up and came to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and immediately ordered his servants: "Find a way to send the letter to the Heaven and Earth Alliance."
However, Gu Xiaotian had no idea whether the Heaven and Earth Alliance could come.
After the incident in Xishu ended, Gu Qingfeng told Gu Xiaotian that he still had some things to do.
But now, only a few days have passed since the incident in Xishu ended, and I don't know if the incident involving Gu Qingfeng has been dealt with.
If both sides were to proceed at the same time, it would probably be difficult for the Heaven and Earth Alliance to spare manpower for support.
In order to ensure nothing was missed, Gu Xiaotian simply wrote a few more letters.
These letters will be sent to different places.
Four major alliances and various sects.
Regarding the four major sub-alliances, Gu Xiaotian has some confidence in his heart. At least these four major sub-alliances have some connections with him. If nothing goes wrong, they will probably come.
As for the letters sent to the sect, except for Taibai and Qinglingdong, Gu Xiaotian had no confidence.
It's just that Gu Xiaotian didn't think very optimistically about matters in Kyoto.
The Ten Thousand Demons Association is one of them, but the news of the unrest in Kyoto will soon reach the ears of the All Martial Arts Association. If the All Martial Arts Association takes action against the four major alliances and various sects at the same time, then what will happen to Kyoto? You will be in a state of isolation and helplessness.
Thinking of this, he looked at the letters taken away by his servants and said with a wry smile: "These are the last hope of Kyoto. If they are also restrained there, they will really be isolated and helpless."
Some people died, but not completely...
