"Long live my emperor."

The sound of their longing for the mountain came like huge waves. Although they used to follow Pei Yuanhao and often heard such sounds, after they were blind, they felt like something real was coming towards me. As soon as I got off the horse, I staggered and almost fell.

Qimuge immediately supported me.

At the same time, I heard a few clanging sounds around me, as if something had fallen from above and broke.

I asked Qimuge in a low voice: "What's the sound?"

He paused for a moment before saying, "The tiles on the roof fell off."

"Oh," I nodded, but turned around and thought, and it was wrong: "How come the tiles fall?"

“…”

Qi Muge was silent for a while before saying, "This place is burned."

"What?"

I looked at him in surprise: "Is it burned?"

"It's burned," his voice was very low and he said slightly hoarsely: "The palace was burned, and many places - here are really not the Seungkyo I remember."

I immediately frowned.

how so?

Tu Shuhan brought people up to greet Pei Yuanhao. Pei Yuanhao walked forward a few steps, and at this time he spoke, saying in confusion: "What's going on?"

Tu Shuhan said: "Master, when our troops attacked, the palace was already on fire."

"Yes, is it the cause of the artillery?"

"No, the cannons can't reach the position of the palace."

"What's going on?"

"I heard that it was the fire set by the people here."

"The person here? Who?"

"This has not been found out yet. Moreover, the situation last night was very chaotic. People in the palace were either burned to death or escaped with them. Now they are all servants who are not in charge of the matter. They don't know what happened last night."

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment and said, "Then, where are the people of the Eight Heavenly Kings?"

Tu Shuhan said: "Two were killed in battle, and the rest led their respective remnants to escape from Shengjing. Wei Chenbu's men outside intercepted another one, and the rest fled. Wei Chen had already sent people to chase him."

After saying that, he knelt down and said, "Please forgive me for your sins."

In theory, letting the enemy leader escape during the war is naturally a serious crime for the general, but Tu Shuhan has tried his best like in the situation last night. After all, he traveled to Shengjing for a long distance and was not very familiar with the terrain here. It is already very good to be able to do this.

In this way, there are actually only three left of the Eight Heavenly Kings.

Moreover, according to their statement, they only led the remaining troops of more than a hundred people to flee. In this way, it was a huge loss of vitality and it would never be possible to make a comeback in a short period of time.

Pei Yuanhao helped him up and said, "Okay, I know you have worked hard in this battle, get up."

Tu Shuhan said: "Thank you, the Emperor."

When he stood up, I took a step forward and said softly, "General."

Tu Shuhan turned to look at me: "Miss Yan."

"The general saw Luo Shi, the Iron-Salted Prince of Shengjing last night? Could he lead his army to resist?"

"Lose..."

Tu Shuhan read the name lightly and said, "Before coming, I had already understood this person, and knew that he was a good at fighting and was also a deacon in Shengjing, so I specially paid attention to the movements of this person and the people around him."

I hurriedly said, "Then-"

"But, there is no news about him."

"What?"

I immediately frowned.

Tu Shuhan said: "I did not deceive Miss Yan. Although I was in chaos last night and encountered some of their resistance after entering the city, I did not meet this Iron Salute Prince, nor did I meet anyone around him."

My breathing became heavier.

Tu Shuhan really won't lie to me, and I don't think he will lie to me in this matter. I just felt the faint haze in my heart, which was getting bigger and bigger at this time, almost covering me.

Loche really didn't show up.

In Dongzhou, he was like a god of war coming to the world, killing the imperial court's troops and horses to ruin. Although I don't like this person, I cannot help but admit that his heroic posture is rare in the world.

But such a person actually made Shengjing fall.

He didn't even show any face.

What's going on? Also, Huang Tianba, where did he go?

I murmured, "He, where will he go?"

Feeling that I was burned to death, it could even be said to be a little tormented. Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment and walked up to me and said softly: "Qingying, don't be anxious for now."

I looked up at him.

He said: "There are chaos and the capital is so big, and there are still a few people who have escaped. It is hard to guarantee that Luo Shi and the others are not among these people."

“…”

"When I settle down, I will send someone to investigate. First check the city, and then track down the whereabouts of those people."

“…”

"Actually, there is no news, but it is good news."

“…”

"What do you think?"

After hearing what he said, I hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Yes, there is actually no news, but it is good news.

What I worry most is that Mr. Huang will be injured or even be...

But at least no such news has come now.

Next, if I can find him, that's great.

I whispered: "Your Majesty also sends additional staff to see more inside and outside the city. You must find him."

Pei Yuanhao said: "Don't worry."

After saying that, he turned his head again, as if he had looked at the palace in front of him. He didn't know what it was burned, but since even the tiles were falling down, there were probably only broken walls and dilapidated walls left.

Pei Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "This palace is already like this, we--"

Tu Shuhan hurriedly said, "Prince, please don't worry. After entering the city last night, I immediately sent someone to put out the fire. I just cleaned up the inside, but several palaces outside were burned down and there was nothing serious inside. Now they have been cleaned up for the emperor to use."

Pei Yuanhao heard this and felt relieved and said, "Let's go, go in first."

After saying that, he took us in.

As I walked in, although I could not see anything, I could clearly smell the burnt smell in my nose. Although the ground was very cold, it was obvious that Tu Shuhan had someone rinsed it with water, but occasionally a gust of wind would still be wrapped with a thin, almost unseen smell of blood.

I don’t know what happened when they came in.

After walking for a while, the burnt smell became much weaker. According to Tu Shuhan's previous statement, he probably walked to the inner court. The houses here were not burned by fire, but had a faint burnt smell.

I tried my best to judge where I was walking. Unfortunately, I was probably not young anymore and my memory was no longer as good as before. In addition, I only stayed in the palace of Seungkyung for a short time, and the impression was not so deep. I could only barely feel that it was near where I lived here.

At this moment, Pei Yuanhao suddenly saw something, stopped and asked, "What's going on with that house over there? Why is it locked?"

I blinked and looked in the direction he was speaking.

The entire Shengjing palace exudes a decay, and it seems that there is only here, which is particularly quiet. Unlike those places just now, the smell of burnt and blood is mixed with, which makes people feel a little suffocated. The smell emitted by this place seems very clean.

Pei Yuanhao asked, "Why not open it?"

The implication is that it is obviously because it is worried about who will hide in that room.

When Tu Shuhan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Weichen passed by that house when he came and asked the people around him. He heard that no one had been there for many years. Weichen had also checked it. The lock was rusted. It was indeed a sign that no one had touched it for many years."

“…”

"Since the room was not moved, Weichen did not touch it."

"oh?"

I was also a little surprised. There is still such a place in the palace of Shengjing?

Although I know that in the Central Plains, there are indeed some desolate places in the imperial palaces of the capital, with hundreds of courtyards and thousands of rooms, or they are abandoned for some reasons, the imperial palace in Shengjing - I have been here for a while. This palace is not as large as the imperial palace in the Central Plains, and the buildings are regular, but every place has practical uses and there is no waste.

There is such a locked house in Seungkyung's palace, which gives people a bit strange.

And I was vaguely calculating the path I had walked, and suddenly my heart trembled.

As if I felt my breath sinking, Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at me: "Qingying, what's wrong with you?"

“…”

I couldn't speak, just looked ahead in a daze.

He looked at me for a while, and didn't ask me. He just remained silent for a moment and said, "Come and take a look."

After saying that, the group slowly walked over.

I heard him walking up the steps a few steps, as if he had walked to the door, picked up the copper lock on it and looked at it. Maybe it was because the copper lock was rusty. When he picked it up, he made a very astringent sound with the iron ring, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

My heart has sunk to the end.

Pei Yuanhao paused for a moment and said, "Open it for me."

The servants immediately responded and walked forward. With a clang, they seemed to have used some heavy object to open the door lock, and then the two doors were pushed open.

I heard a sudden sound, a gust of wind blew in, blowing my clothes and hair all over my body, and at the same time, there was another smell floating out of the quiet room.

I sucked it and immediately understood everything.
