Chapter 249: The Commotion Outside the Palace Gate
"How could the east gate of the royal city be breached?" The prince was a little frightened and angry.
What he was angry about was that the troubles in the palace had not been resolved yet, so why were the troubles outside coming one after another.
"Your Highness, just when King Xia was fighting, a group of powerful monks infiltrated among the civilians. After approaching the east gate, they suddenly launched a fierce attack, instantly destroying the city wall, and then took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and disperse."
Hou Qian said coldly: "This is impossible. The East Gate is a well-trained Huben camp. How could it be broken down so easily, unless there is extraordinary action."
The prince said: "But who else in the royal city can produce extraordinary masters?"
"No, there is a force that may be able to do it, and only they may have such powerful strength."
"Who is he?" King Xia asked.
"The Baige Chamber of Commerce is the first chamber of commerce in our Dawu Dynasty, the Baige Chamber of Commerce." The prince said.
Hou Qian said: "General, I will go to the east gate to see for myself."
The prince said: "Take the imperial army with you. If there are any suspicious people, kill them directly."
"I will obey your orders!"
In Weiyang Palace, Han Xu also noticed the changes in the east gate. However, when the incident occurred, most of his attention was on King Xia's side, so that by the time he noticed the east gate, the battle there had already ended.
"Who did it?" When Han Xu was wondering, the message of opening his jaw came from the Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol.
"Master, those who took action at the east gate are the people from the caravan I mentioned to you before. There are four extraordinary masters among them."
"Four extraordinary ones?" Han Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I took out four extraordinary ones at once. They are definitely not ordinary Jianghu forces. Do you have any clues?"
"I suspect they are masters from the Holy Dao Palace." Zhang Jia said via voice transmission, "Only the Holy General Stone Monkey from the Holy Dao Palace can destroy a kilometer long city wall in such a short period of time."
"It is not a wise choice for the Holy Dao Palace to go into troubled waters at this time." Han Xu said doubtfully, "The royal city now has King Xia in charge, as well as masters such as Hou Qian, Qin Ling, and Xing Kai. The Holy Dao Palace is just a river and lake power. Now it is clear that it is not good for them to work with the imperial court."
"Unless the person behind them is aiming at the supreme position."
"What do you mean, Master?"
"Although the Holy Dao Palace is in the east, no one has ever discovered its headquarters. This is illogical." Han Xu said, "Unless their headquarters is built on the vast East China Sea."
"There are countless islands on the East China Sea, and except for the Dragon Army in the East, no one knows what is going on on the sea. What's more coincidental is that the Dragon King of the East is addicted to the pursuit of immortality and often goes to sea and disappears for a period of time."
Han Xu deduced: "It is very possible that the palace owner of the Holy Dao Palace who has never shown up is the Dragon King of the East, or at least someone close to him."
"Master, if it is really the Dragon King..."
Han Xu took over and said: "If the Dragon King is really behind it, then the Holy Dao Palace has only one purpose for breaking open the east gate, which is to facilitate their troops to enter the city. Just watch, there will definitely be movement in these two days. of."
After the interrogation was over, Han Luoling came over and gently put a cloak on Han Xu. Han Xu and Zhang Jia Yuan did not avoid Han Luoling. After both of them had untied their knots, they naturally had nothing to hide.
Han Luoling stood quietly next to Han Xu and said thoughtfully: "I remember that the east gate is where the river surrounding the city flows into the city."
"The river around the city is flowing." Han Xu murmured, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes were slightly bright.
However, what Han Xu still didn't expect was that the Holy Dao Palace moved much faster than he expected.
That night, a group of righteous warriors appeared at the gate of the palace. They were not many, less than a hundred people, but there were four extraordinary powerful men.
In the Weiyang Palace, Han Xu checked the system list for the suddenly detected technique, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, an old acquaintance is here."
Among the four extraordinary masters, Han Xugang had met three of them not long ago.
The Holy Generals of the Holy Palace, Burning Rat, Kui Niu and Maned Dog. As for the other one, they practice a technique similar to the petrification ability. They can turn their bodies into as hard as rocks. Of course, they can also turn hard objects in the reverse direction. Rocks turned to mud and destruction.
Han Xu was almost certain that this extraordinary man was the Holy General Shi Hou, the man who destroyed the east gate wall.
"What are you doing here at this gathering place?" Hou Qian climbed up to the tower and shouted with all his spiritual power. His voice was like a loud bell, which suddenly overwhelmed the noise of nearly a hundred people talking.
Everyone calmed down, and an eighth-level master stepped forward and shouted towards the tower: "We demand that the demon concubine be killed, Han Xu be killed, the emperor be eliminated, and the world be restored to peace!"
"Kill the demon concubine, kill Han Xu!"
"Kill the demon concubine, kill Han Xu!"
Under the tower, nearly a hundred people shouted one after another, and more and more onlookers were attracted.
Because of the rumors that have been circulating in recent days, many people even spontaneously joined their ranks and shouted slogans.
It can be seen how bad the reputation of Han Luoling and Han Xu is in the outside world now. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are mice crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats them.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made his own judgment on this matter. You are not allowed to make any noise in the palace and disperse as soon as possible."
Hou Qian felt four powerful supernatural auras in the crowd, and thought that this matter might not be simple, so he quietly delayed for time while sending a message to his subordinates to return to the palace to deliver the message.
"Then please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come out and give everyone an explanation!"
"Yes, let the prince give everyone an explanation!"
After one person finished speaking, someone else started shouting. More and more people came to hear the noise. For a moment, there were already three or four hundred people surrounding the gate of the palace, blocking the road.
If it were before, Hou Qian would have ordered the imperial guards to expel them, but now there are four extraordinary masters mixed in the crowd, and Hou Qian is not clear about their purpose, so he dare not act rashly and can only wait for news from the palace.
He had just joined the crown prince not long ago, and at this critical moment, he couldn't make any mistakes. If something went wrong, he would be in trouble.
Under the cover of this riot, in the ring river not far away, there were shuttle-shaped black objects flowing underwater.
If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all. Now everyone, including Hou Qian, is attracted by the riot in front of the palace, and no one will notice the situation at the bottom of the ring river.
But there is no way in this world that can be completely hidden from everyone. At least one person has discovered the problem.
That is Han Xu who is trapped in Weiyang Palace.
In the system, there were constantly new techniques popping up, so he knew that a large number of people had already arrived near the palace.
"Tonight's show will definitely be very exciting."
