Chapter 1084: With this person here, we can block a million soldiers!

It was night!

The capital regions of the great sects and dynasties were called Dragon Capital city.

While most people were deep in their dreams, a piece of earth-shattering news exploded in the capital like a heavy bomb.

The eight kings, led by the subst.i.tute King, had rebelled!

The subst.i.tute King had rebelled from Daizhou!

The ghost king had rebelled from Youzhou!

The Prince of Chu, Chuzhou, rebelled!

The King of Liang rebelled from Liang Province!

King Yong had rebelled from Yongzhou!

In addition, King han, King Zhou, King Lu, and the other eight kings had gathered millions of soldiers and led the five regions and 13 counties to rebel!

The million strong Army marched North and broke through ten pa.s.ses in just four hours. They were now less than a thousand miles away from Yandang pa.s.s.

Yandang pa.s.s was also known as the last barrier of the great sects and dynasties. Once Yandang pa.s.s was broken, the million-strong Army could March straight in, straight to Longjing city, and then arrive at the city gate!

This news swept through the entire Dragon Capital like a bolt of lightning, completely waking everyone up from their sleep.

That night, countless people panicked.

In the Imperial Palace of a great sect.

Even though it was late at night, the hall was still brightly lit and crowded with people.

“What should we do about this?”

“Are the heavens going to forget about the great sects and dynasties …”

“……”

Countless disheveled courtiers had gathered, and without even tidying up their appearance, they whispered to each other, their faces filled with shock.

“The Empress Dowager has arrived with His Majesty!”

In such a chaotic situation, an old eunuch’s duck-like voice rang out.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone subconsciously bowed and turned around to face the outside of the hall. There, Yun Xiao, who was wearing a phoenix crown, led a young man in a dragon robe and walked over quickly.

“We pay our respects to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!”

Everyone hurriedly kowtowed.

“Rise!”

Yun Xiao raised his hand slightly. His expression was very calm, not showing any signs of nervousness.

After the officials stood up, a civil official stood up and said,”Reporting to the Empress Dowager, reporting to His Majesty, the eight kings have rebelled. An emergency has been reported from afar. Now that we are helpless, we hope that you can quickly make a Holy judgment!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet imperial court became noisy again. Some shook their heads, some sighed.

“Silence!“

Yun Xiao’s eyes were majestic as he looked down. Even so, he was still unable to suppress the chaos in the hearts of the officials.

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the hall,””The Imperial advisor has arrived!!!”

The hall immediately fell silent.

Then, Qi Tiandao, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, slowly entered the hall with the help of someone.

“This old official greets Your Majesty and Empress Dowager!”

Qi Tiandao did not care about his old age. After a round of salutations, he sat down at the arranged seat.

Yun Xiao couldn’t suppress the anxiety in his heart and said,”Imperial Preceptor, what’s the specific situation of the eight kings ‘rebellion?”

How could she not know about the eight kings ‘intention to rebel? however, what she did not expect was that the eight kings would rebel so quickly, almost without giving her any time to prepare.

“Reply to the Empress Dowager!”

The Imperial advisor stood up and said,”the eight kings have sent troops to five regions and 13 counties at a quarter past midnight. The eight kings jointly issued a denunciation of the Empress Dowager. It was a long one with thousands of words. They claimed that after the late Emperor pa.s.sed away, the Empress Dowager was in control of the court and deceived the Emperor. Therefore, she had to go to the capital to help the king.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall burst into an uproar again, and Yun Xiao’s expression changed.

In order to find a legitimate reason for her rebellion, the eight kings had actually slandered her and even wanted to denounce her?

Qi Tiandao coughed heavily. After everyone had quieted down, he said,””The rebel army has broken through ten pa.s.ses in a row. They are less than a thousand li away from Yandang pa.s.s!”

“How is this possible?”

A Minister’s face paled and he said in disbelief,””Even the closest Chuzhou is thousands of miles away from Longjing city. It has only been six hours and they have already broken through ten pa.s.ses?”

“Not bad!”

“What?” another official said in shock,”the Imperial court has already set up inspectors in various places. How can these rebels be so efficient?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Even if they had wings, it’s impossible for them to cross ten thousand miles in four hours, right?”

The rest of them nodded.

In the face of everyone’s doubts, Qi Tiandao sneered and said,””First, the Chuzhou supervisor, Lu Gaoyuan, was killed. His body was hung on the city wall!”

“Liang province’s supervising emissary was betrayed by his confidant and was beheaded in public. His entire family was exterminated …”

“After Yongzhou’s supervising inspector, Hong chengsi, received the news, he led his trusted aides and tried to put an end to the rebellion. In the end, they were trampled and killed by the rebel army!”

“Ping Yang County …”

As he said each word and sentence, it set off waves of shock in everyone’s hearts.

In just one night, many supervisors sent by the Imperial court had all died. This could only mean that the eight kings had planned for a long time to use such a thunderous method.

It was a pity that many of them had never noticed it.

Qi Tiandao took in everyone’s expressions and continued,””The eight kings ‘troops are divided into five groups. Along the way, seven pa.s.ses surrendered at the mere sight of the wind. The defenders of the remaining three pa.s.ses will fight to the death until the last man …”

“At the same time, the entire northern barbarian Army has been mobilized. They have gathered 200000 soldiers and horses. They will cross the Longyuan River together with the eight kings ‘troops and plunder the cities of our major sects …”

“Just five minutes ago, the military advisor of the enemy Kingdom, Qing Kingdom, Gu Jianqiu, divided 500000 troops into three routes and attacked the border of our great sect …

Everyone’s face turned paler with each sentence he said. In the end, the hall was filled with deep despair.

Just the million-strong Army of the eight kings attacking the city was already enough to terrorize them. Now, there were also the 200000-strong northern barbarian Army and 500000-strong enemy Army.

The three of them added up to 1.7 million troops!

On the other hand, his dynasty only had 800000 soldiers. With 800000 against 1.7 million, how could they fight?

The entire Hall was deathly silent!

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”

Looking at the quiet Hall, a sneer and sorrow flashed in the depths of Qi Tiandao’s eyes.

Other than talking and attacking each other for the sake of each other’s interests, what else could these civil officials do when they were in a war?

If they were really sent to the battlefield, they would probably switch sides in a matter of minutes. The so-called backbone and loyalty were just bullsh * t.

“Empress Dowager, why don’t we … We move the capital …” A Minister hesitated.

The moment these words were said!

“That’s right. Once Yandang pa.s.s is taken, our Dragon Capital will be finished. We should move the capital earlier …”The rest of them nodded.

Yun Xi looked at this scene with a sorrowful expression.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

“Longjing is the capital of our dynasty, the place where The Dragon Rises. How can we move the capital so easily? Furthermore, the rebel army is still two thousand li away from us!”

A shout came from the crowd, and Grand Secretary Gu, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, stepped forward shakily,””State preceptor, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I beg the Imperial court to issue an imperial edict to gather all the people in the city to fight the rebel army to the death. There are still 300000 men in Longjing who can fight!!!”“

Yun Xi was instantly moved, and then she subconsciously looked at Qi Tian and said,””State preceptor …”

However, Qi Tiandao shook his head slightly.””This is not right. Even if we gather 300000 new soldiers, including the old soldiers, we only have 500000 soldiers. How can we fight against a million troops?”

“State preceptor, don’t tell me that you have a better idea?” Grand Secretary Gu sneered.

Qi Tiandao smiled.”I’m willing to be the Empress Dowager. I’m willing to recommend a person for Your Majesty. With this person here, we can stop a million soldiers!”

Then, he turned around and bowed solemnly to the outside of the hall,””Fellow Daoist ye!!!”
