Master of the Sky

These four short words stretched out for more than ten breaths. The old eunuch's lung capacity could be said to be extremely long.    

The four simple words were like a thunderbolt that struck fiercely into the hearts of all the ministers present in the square.    

The low sounds of discussion instantly died down, and only the sound of the wind could be heard.    

The autumn wind was originally dry, but at this moment, the wind was as cold as knives, scraping against everyone's faces, causing them to feel pain.    

The entire Changyang City trembled under the whipping of the Cold Wind Giant.    

The temperature plummeted, and the drizzling rain gradually turned into snowflakes.    

Very quickly, heavy snow began to fall from the sky above the Changyang City.    

During the autumn harvest, a heavy snowfall would destroy the fruits on the ground.    

However, the range of the snowflakes that fell was only in the Changyang City s, and it did not exceed the range of the city walls.    

This strange scene caused the people of Changyang City to be anxious.    

The officials outside the Supreme Harmony Hall had some guesses in their hearts, but as soon as they thought of that, they suppressed them.    

"Kaiser is dead!"    

The old eunuch shouted once again with all his might. A few young eunuchs followed the old eunuch and shouted in unison.    

Very quickly, the whistling sound reached outside the Imperial Palace, and throughout the entire Changyang City.    

The Changyang City was dead silent.    

Countless people, who were panicking from the falling of the snow, stood outside the room, letting the snow pile on top of their bodies.    

Outside the Supreme Harmony Hall, the Minister of Civil and Martial Arts was dumbfounded.    

Guo Ziyi, who had already known about this news, was not too shocked, but a tear rolled out of the corner of his eye.    

He bent his knees and led the way to kneel.    

Yuwen Ji's expression was extremely complex, upon seeing Guo Ziyi kneel, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, before following Guo Ziyi and kneeling on the ground.    

The rest of the civil and military officials kneeled down one by one. Outside of the Supreme Harmony Hall, over a thousand officials were crying and looking solemn.    

Whether it was true or false, the death of Kaiser caused his to cry sorrowfully.    

Outside the Changyang City, in the hundred thousand garrison military camp, Guo Nan and the Fourth Prince Li Shi stood shoulder to shoulder.    

They looked at the direction of the Changyang City from afar. Guo Nan's expression was heavy, the Fourth Prince Li Shi s were boiling hot tears.    

"Is he really dead?" Li Shi murmured in a sobbing tone.    

Last night, he received news from Guo Nan, and was told to quietly leave the Imperial Palace by himself to meet up at Changyang City's east gate. Initially, he was still on guard, as he did not believe Guo Nan's words. But he did not dare go to Heartbreak Palace to check, and hastily left the palace to find Guo Nan.    

Until now, the illusion in his heart had finally been shattered.    

"Li Shi, whether or not you can take revenge for your father, all depends on you. If your father were to allow that grandson Li Jian to ascend the throne, he would definitely be furious. It's snowing in September and you're filled with resentment. You won't doubt my words anymore, right? " Guo Nan said coldly.    

"Nan Shao, no matter what, my life was saved by you. If not for you, I would have already died in the Imperial Palace, right? The rest of the matters will entirely depend on your Guo Family. I don't ask for anything, I just hope that your royal father can be at ease in the afterlife. " Li Shi wailed.    

"According to the usual practice, when Kaiser dies, the imperial palace must lament for six hours. These six hours are sufficient for us to open up the garrison to the surroundings of the imperial palace. The Yuelin Army had long been infiltrated by Li Jian and Lin Chong had controlled his family, so he did not dare to go against Li Jian's orders. Moreover, there was still Qin Qiong and another Dan Yuan Stage Expert guarding the palace. Even if Lin Chong wanted to do something, he wouldn't be able to do so. I think that right now, the Imperial Palace is already sealed up by the Yuelin Army, no one can enter or leave. Once Li Jian ascends the throne, it will be too late to do anything. " Guo Nan analyzed.    

"Nan Shao, can I borrow some experts from the Misty Rain House? The background of the Misty Rain House is the top-notch Family. The Dogfish Qin Qiong and the other Dan Yuan Stage Expert, if the Misty Rain House were to make a move, killing them would not be difficult. "    

"I have already asked Dugu Hong for help. He will help, but the Imperial Palace is easy to defend and hard to attack. It has a total of thirty thousand Yuelin Army s. I can't guarantee that I'll win this battle. " Guo Nan sighed and said.    

Li Shi gave Guo Nan a deep look, and promised with a resolute and ruthless expression: "Nan Shao, if you win this battle, I will grant you the title of Shoulder King with One Word. From today onwards, Li Tangguo, our positions will be exactly the same. If you lose, your Guo Family will immediately go to the southeast, and still have the chance to fight against Li Jian. But I will swear to fight to the death, and will definitely not leave the Changyang City. "    

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Do you think that you won't be able to win with me here?" Guo Nan revealed a faint smile, "Don't forget, my eldest and youngest wives are still waiting for me in the palace to save them."    

Guo Nan turned around and saw the black armored garrison lined up in an orderly fashion on the thousand mu of flat land, completely motionless, waiting for his orders.    

The garrison was in charge, but unlike the Guo Family's army, which consisted of one hundred thousand garrison s, most of the people in the garrison would listen to Kaiser's orders if they were to have any problems with Guo Family's orders.    

Guo Nan took a deep breath, took in a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "All soldiers, perhaps you all still do not know, that Kaiser was poisoned to death last night.    

Hearing that, the garrison warriors were stunned, they looked at each other, Kaiser died? To be poisoned to death?    

The is under martial law now, Crown Prince Li Jian has plotted to usurp the throne, and took the chance to control the big and small officials of the Changyang City to stay in the palace. You are all members of the Changyang City, maybe your friends and elders are facing Li Jian's blade! Dogfish Li Jian dares to kill even His Majesty, what else could he not do? "    

"Maybe you all don't believe me, but His Highness the Fourth Prince is also here, so his words are definitely true."    

Guo Nan took half a step back, allowing Li Shi to sit in front of the stage.    

The tears on Li Shi's face had yet to dry as he said in a sorrowful voice, "Soldiers, every word that Guo Nan has said is true. There are many dangers within the Imperial Palace and I cannot predict that either. I only wish that when we rush to the palace, if Li Jian has already ascended the throne, the soldiers can throw out Chen Nian who is loyal to the Kaiser, while my royal father is still here, you all have to follow him loyally. But Li Jian, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will still be the murderer of his father.    

"Everything, when we attack the Imperial Palace, will be spread throughout the world, and all soldiers will follow me to suppress Li Jian. After we succeed, we will get ten times the pay! If you kill an enemy, you will be rewarded with 100 gold! "    

There would definitely be brave men under the high reward. Li Shi stirred his fighting spirit, and a huge army of a hundred thousand started to lead the Changyang City.    

In Changyang City, it was still snowing heavily, the sky above the imperial palace was snowing heavily. The thousands of officers kneeling on the ground outside the Supreme Harmony Hall were soaked with tears, their bodies covered in snowflakes, turning them into snowmen. Within the entire palace, those kneeling on the ground were everywhere, be it palace maids, guards, eunuchs, disciples of Royal Family, or concubines of Kaiser. All of them knelt outside, towards the location of Supreme Harmony Palace.    

The citizens of Changyang City also kneeled down spontaneously, and the entire city fell into silence.    

The six hours did not last long, time flowed by, and the hundred thousand garrison s were finally called out of Changyang City.    

The city gates were shut tight.    

"I am Fourth Prince Li Shi. Open the gate and let us in!"    

"I am Guo Nan, and you are still not opening the door?"    

Li Shi and Guo Nan called out to each other in front of the door, but all the City Guard who were part of the Pan Family were at home today, not on duty. The City Guard guarding the city wall was a subordinate to the Qin Family!    

What welcomed Li Shi and Guo Nan were rows and rows of heavy crossbow arrow!    

"Soldiers, listen up! Attack the city!" "If I die in battle, I will give my family 100 gold taels!"    

A cold wind blew, the battle drums sounded, and a hundred thousand garrison s carrying siege apparatus charged straight for the eastern gate of Changyang City, unafraid of death.
