Chapter 144 Am I really alone?!

The deep night shrouds the majestic Tai'an.

The sky is dotted with stars, as bright as a galaxy.

But the human world on earth may not be as peaceful as the silent night sky.

The palaces and cities of the emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty were brightly lit at this time.

He wears an imperial crown on his head, wears a black dragon crown, and wears the Emperor's Sword Chixiao at his waist.

Liu Hong sat alone on the throne, with green smoke curling up in the hall. Several confidants and eunuchs were surrounding him, and they were trying to dissuade him with sincere words:

"Your Majesty, the Taiping thieves are powerful. They are now in full force and they have fought all the way to Tai'an."

"If General Huangfu loses, and the enemy forces attack the capital next, your Majesty will still stick to this place. I'm afraid the country will be lost!"

"Therefore, I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to temporarily move out of the capital to avoid sudden accidents!"

The eunuch was the leader, his robes were covered with patterns, his whole body had an extraordinary aura, his complexion was fair and his eyebrows were slender, he looked quite old, and he had a feminine aura secretly.

This person was Zhang Zheng, the standing servant of the Imperial Court of Great Yan. He was the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Liu Hong of Great Yan. He held a high and powerful position. In the past, he could call the shots, and even decide life and death with a single word. He had unparalleled power at the moment.

But today, looking at his hurried appearance, he has lost some of his momentum.

Facing the persuasion from the eunuchs on his left and right, headed by Zhang Zheng, the permanent attendant, Liu Hong shook his head, with a bit of ridicule flashing at the corner of his mouth:

"I'm not going anywhere."

"I will stay here in Tai'an City."

"The four hundred qi of my Great Flame are all gathered here. There is a majestic emperor holding a sword to suppress the qi. Where I am is the destination of the heaven!"

"That Zhang Julu, a mere Taoist from the mountains, studied at Taixue ten years ago and became my disciple. How could he defy such odds?!"

Liu Hong drew his sword and stood up. He looked at the Chixiao Sword Qi attached to the blade and felt the richness of Luoyang Palace's four hundred years of luck, and just sneered coldly.

The carved beams, painted pillars, dancing pavilions and singing platform are extremely prosperous. These four hundred years of great prosperity have been prosperous through ups and downs. How can it be easily shaken by a Xiaoxiao who jumped out of nowhere?!

Rumble!

At this moment, this huge palace began to shake for some unknown reason, like an earth dragon turning over, causing Liu Hong and the eunuchs to tilt their bodies uncontrollably.

Stretching out his arms to support the throne on one side, Liu Hong frowned and looked to the outside world.

"what's the situation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace, climbing up hundreds of stairs.

The door of the main hall is open, and the cold wind howls at night.

Several Great Yan warriors wearing armor and well-equipped equipment, with solemn and desolate expressions, stepped into the palace.

The leading general held a long sword and wore a scarlet cloak. As soon as he entered the palace, he knelt down on one knee towards the emperor and spoke quickly and urgently:

"Your Majesty, please move quickly!"

"General Huangfu led his army to fight against the Taiping rebels at Waiguan. He was defeated and perished. His generals' army was defeated. More than 60% of the army was defeated. The remaining troops were defeated and there was no chance to gather together!"

"At this moment, our Great Yan Tai'an, except for the imperial city defenders, is no longer defenseless. The enemy force is overwhelming and unstoppable. Your Majesty, please make a quick decision to avoid disasters in other states and counties in order to protect our Great Yan Sheji.

lose!"

The sincere words of this general were so precise that they did not seem to be false.

After saying this, Liu Hong was so shocked that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Snap!

This emperor, who was only in his thirties, felt a tight string in his heart that was completely broken.

Liu Hong was holding the Chixiao Sword, his eyes a little dazed.

He looked at the splendid palace, the splendid throne, and the beams and pillars engraved with the real dragon circling and the spotless gold bricks. It took him a long time to believe it:

"My hundreds of thousands of lions and all the Vajra warrior generals in the court have been defeated?!"

Even if you lose.

How could he lose so quickly? It wasn’t even more than a month!

Where did the Taiping Dao thieves gather such a huge force?

Mountain and wild roads, mountain and wild roads.

Thinking of the time when he came to use it, he discovered that all seven sects of Youdao had been exterminated by Taiping Dao. Liu Hong clenched his fists and seemed to have some realization in his eyes. He could not hide his sadness for a moment.

No one from the aristocratic family came to help him even if he gave the order.

A person who lives alone, in the end, becomes a person who lives alone!

Liu Hong stood up, faced the cold wind, and under the gaze of everyone in the palace, stepped out of Luoyang Palace, which symbolized imperial power and was regarded as first-class and supreme in the eyes of the world.

He stood outside the temple and looked into the distance from the stairs.

There was the vast Tai'an, and the whole world that he could see.

Under the shining of the stars in the night sky, little sparks of light illuminated the entire imperial city.

It looks so prosperous.

That being the case, why do these Taiping rebels want to rebel?!

Liu Hong's eyes flickered, exuding strong murderous intent.

He is an emperor of a generation. Since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, he has been able to balance the aristocratic families and clans, hold military power, and have never let the imperial power slip in his entire life. In terms of skill alone, it is undoubtedly sufficient.

Tai'an is the center of Sizhou. Beyond Tai'an, the outside world is besieged on all sides. Zhang Ling's rebellion in Sichuan and Shu came from Hanguan to attack and kill, and Zhang Julu's rebels on Taiping Road are even closer!

He was a Taoist master in the second realm, and his ability to sense Qi was extremely high.

If you can escape under his nose, that would be a joke!

Moreover, Liu Hong himself did not want to leave.

"My Great Yan Kingdom has been in Zuo for more than four hundred years, and I have counted twelve emperors. The dragon blood of the Great Yan Emperor flows in my bones and blood. As the emperor, how can I have the thought of retreating?"

"You traitorous minister, my dragon head is here today. I want to see how he destroyed Zuo Mianmian, my Great Yan Kingdom, and how he cut off my head and established a new dynasty?"

"Generals, don't worry, I will stand side by side with you in this battle!"

"Zhang Zheng!"

Holding the Red Sky Sword and calming down, Liu Hong's face flashed with determination and his tone was solemn.

"The old slave is here!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Seeing the straight-backed Emperor Yan, Zhang Zhen, the regular attendant in the rear, knelt on his knees and asked.

When it comes to loyalty to Liu Hong, Zhang Zheng, who has been with his emperor and ministers for nearly thirty years, ranks first.

Even if he is treacherous and domineering to others, takes bribes, loves success, is cold, and has countless shortcomings, in front of the emperor, he is a loyal dog!

Even if Liu Hong asked him to wipe his neck now, I believe he would do it without hesitation.

Looking at the attendant who had been following him for a long time, Liu Hong stepped forward and stretched out his palm, patting Zhang Yan's shoulder a little heavily:

"Today, I will try my best to make Great Yan have four hundred years of strength and let Zhang Julu know why no one in Great Yan dares to rebel against me."

"But the prince is only seven years old now. He cannot be buried here with me."

"Zhang Zheng, although you have shortcomings, I have never underestimated you as I have come through the ups and downs. Today I entrust the prince to you. You must fight out of the city to protect my great Yan."

future!"

Looking at the solemn emperor in front of him, Chang Chang Zhang Zhang opened his mouth, his eyes were moist for a long time, and then he said hoarsely:

"Old slave, I will obey the orders of my superiors!"

"Go now and protect the safety of the young master. As long as the old slave does not die, no one in the world can get close to him!"

Seeing this, Liu Hong stood up and nodded, then smiled with satisfaction, then took his sword and strode out of the palace.

He looked at the stars in the night sky, looked at the Tai'an main city that had just shaken and then suddenly burst into flames, and finally let out a long roar:

"Please tell me to invite the ancestral temple to see it with me, the 12th Emperor of Dayan!"

"How much trouble can this rebellious traitor Zhang Julu cause?"

"What a joke, even if I, the Liu family of Great Yan, cannot dominate the world of China, you, the Zhang family, can't even think of dominating the world!"

"But I don't know what kind of rebellious officials and traitors will come after you and I are dead, claiming to be lonely, Taoist and widowed, and tearing apart the soil and sealing the borders."

"What a shame! What a pity!"

Liu Hong stared, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes.

After a long time, he strutted in the cold wind, holding the emperor's sword, and walked out of the palace towards Tai'an!
