"Uncle, you're here." Beitang Xuanyang smiled. In Qian Danqing's eyes, his smile at this time was evil and strange.
Qian Danqing stood in the middle of the hall and looked straight at Beitang Yu. He was wondering what a person had experienced to change so much? What happened to his nephew who had been missing for a day?
How did his temperament change so much that it made people feel strange?
Beitang Xuanyang slowly walked down and approached Qian Danqing, "Uncle, why are you looking at Zhen?"
Zhen?
Qian Danqing came back to his senses. The person in front of him was already the new Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom.
"I heard the knell." Qian Danqing said. He did not call himself a subject. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Beitang Xuanyang to become the new Emperor.
"Yes, Father is dead." Beitang Xuanyang said sadly, "I am also very surprised. I have already ordered the arrest of the murderer. However, the former Emperor has just returned, and not many people know about it. I have temporarily suppressed this matter to avoid causing panic."
Was he afraid of causing panic, or afraid that others would know that he had killed his father?
"I want to see the body of the former Emperor." Qian Danqing said. He should have felt happy when he learned that Beitang Yu was dead. Twenty years ago, he had been looking forward to this day. He could not wait for Beitang Yu to die a horrible death. Now that Beitang Yu had really died a horrible death, he did not feel the joy of venting his hatred.
Once upon a time, he had regarded Beitang Yu as his best friend. When they were young, they had galloped on horses and lived a happy life. He had also risked his life for Beitang Yu. In the bottom of his heart, there was a clean memory that belonged to their youth.
Now that Beitang Yu was dead, all the resentment disappeared …
"Uncle, what's there to see about the body of the former Emperor?" Beitang Xuanyang said with a smile, "If you have the time, why don't you think about how to find Mo Mingxi from Dingdu City? Zhen is about to ascend the throne. It's not good for them to stay here. Also, I don't know where the Jin Kingdom's secret guards who escorted Father back are. Uncle should also find them."
Empress Wang was still in Mo Mingxi's hands!
Qian Danqing's expression changed slightly. He still did not know what Mo Mingxi wanted to do. "I will personally find Mo Mingxi."
"Alright." Beitang Xuanyang thought that Qian Danqing finally understood the truth. Beitang Yu was dead, and now he was the emperor of the Dark North Kingdom. No matter what happened, he had the final say.
"Your Majesty, you will be the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom from now on. There are some things that I cannot say in the future." Qian Danqing said in a low voice, "There are some things that I hope you can stop before going too far."
Beitang Xuanyang's smile faded. "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
"I don't have any other intentions. Your subject will take his leave," Qian Danqing said.
"Great General, I hope you can find Mo Mingxi as soon as possible!" Beitang Xuanyang coldly said.
Qian Danqing bowed her head and silently retreated.
…
…
Outside the city gates of Ding Du City, there were two men standing silently, facing the city gates. One of them was a youth dressed in coarse clothes with tears streaming down his face. His arm was still hanging in front of his chest, looking like he was injured.
The young man standing next to him tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.
"Funeral bell … … it's the funeral bell … …" The youth covered his face with one hand as he wept. Martial law had already been imposed in Dingdu City, and a total of twenty-seven bells had been rung. "It's father!"
How could this be? Didn't father just come back from the Jin Kingdom? How could he die so suddenly?
That's right, the person who was crying was none other than the eldest prince, Beitang Xuanwei, who had just escaped from death. He thought that he would be able to make it in time to see Beitang Yu. Now that he had returned, he heard the great funeral bell ring.
"Do you want to go in?" The youth's voice was calm, and his eyes looked very clean. On his handsome face, there seemed to be some childlike innocence.
"Can we go in?" Beitang Xuanwei asked in surprise. Now that the whole city was under martial law, they could not even climb over the city gates, how could they enter the city?
The youth glanced at the city walls. "Yes."
"Guan Jie, are you serious?" Beitang Xuanwei's face was overjoyed. He looked expectantly at the savior who had saved him from the White Dragon River. He knew that Guan Jie's martial arts were powerful, but … … could he really be this powerful?
"Yes." Guan Jie nodded seriously. "Yes."
Beitang Xuanwei looked at him expectantly. "Guan Jie, I want to enter the palace … …"
"Oh." Guan Jie only responded calmly, pulled Beitang Xuanwei's arm, and used his qinggong to step on the city wall. His internal energy had reached perfection, and he was actually able to carry Beitang Xuanwei over the city gate.
The situation in the city was more complicated than Beitang Xuanwei had expected. They hid in a corner, waiting for a group of soldiers to pass by, and then walked out of the darkness.
"I don't know how my mother is in the palace. I'm very worried about her." Beitang Xuanwei said that since his father had passed away, Imperial Concubine Qian would definitely not let his mother go. No matter what, he had to save his mother first.
He and Guan Jie hid from those soldiers and came to the street. At this time, there was not a single civilian on the street. Everyone was hiding in their houses.
"You guys go over there and search." Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps came. The leading military officer was giving an order.
Beitang Xuanwei paused for a second. He and Guan Jie hid in an alley nearby, curious about what had happened.
"The Empress has been captured by enemy assassins. She may still be in the city. You must search every household and find the Empress." The military officer said. He paused and then said, "It's the Empress Dowager. You must find her."
Hearing this, Beitang Xuanwei knew that his guess was correct. The person who died was indeed his father.
But, why would these people come to find his mother at this time? Did something happen to his mother?
"Guan Jie, we're not going to the palace. You come with me to a place." Beitang Xuanwei seemed to have thought of something and said to Guan Jie in a low voice.
"Oh." Guan Jie just nodded. He had no objection to Beitang Xuanwei's words.
Beitang Xuanwei led him over the wall in the alley and walked towards the street in the south.
Ming Xi and Shang'er were sitting on the roof looking in the direction of the palace. The bell had stopped ringing. Beitang Yu should really be dead.
"The purple gas has completely disappeared." Shang'er said. "Beitang Xuanyang is going to die."
"Beitang Xuanyang killed Beitang Yu." Ming Xi said. Although he did not go to the palace to investigate, he could guess the truth behind Beitang Yu's death.
Shang'er suddenly frowned. She turned her head to look elsewhere. "Someone's coming."
Ming Xi followed her line of sight. Sure enough, he saw two tall figures walking outside the shop.
"I'll go take a look." Ming Xi said.
"Let me go. Your injuries haven't completely healed." Fire Phoenix, who had been sleeping in the corner, stood up. She patted her butt and went out.
Shang'er held Ming Xi's hand. "Let's go."
