Chapter 858 Leaving the City

The concubine said a lot of useful information, such as that Eunuch Lan was the confidant of the Emperor of Guiyue. Although her father had contacted the King of Pingxi about the iron ore, after the iron ore was transported to Guiyue through the secret passage, it no longer passed through her father's hands, but was taken over by Eunuch Lan and directly transported to a secret camp in Guiyue.

There were more than a hundred blacksmiths in the camp, all of whom were prepared for the iron mines of Northern Qi. The blacksmiths used the iron mines to forge weapons and equip the army of Guiyue.

The purpose of the army's existence, besides defending Guiyue's territory, its most important task is to attack Northern Qi.

The concubine's opinion was: "If Eunuch Lan is killed, the transportation of iron ore will be interrupted. My father doesn't know where the secret camp is. Of course, you can kill my father if you want. I won't plead for him, but I beg you, please let my mother go." Ye Wenyan quickly analyzed the matter in his mind. The most urgent task must be to kill Eunuch Lan so that the iron ore would not be delivered.

But as for the others… She looked out the window again, and the more she looked, the more she felt that there was probably no need to consider them anymore.

She had collected two of the five-colored stones, plus she had three. Another one, according to Concubine Guiyue, was in the hands of Emperor Guiyue, so there was a place to find it.

With such a celestial phenomenon appearing right now, it is hard to say what the sky will look like when we get the one in Emperor Guiyue’s hand.

A catastrophe of heaven and earth is about to come. What’s the point of dealing with those people or not?

She doesn't need to exert any effort, God will take away the person who should be taken away.

"Thank you." She said to Concubine Guiyue, "Your Majesty is very righteous, and God will see it."

The concubine smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter whether God sees me or not. Ever since my father forced me to marry to Tianshui City, I didn't want to live anymore. But now that Xiao Yuan'er is born, I have no choice. I have to force myself to live even if I don't want to.

The sky outside is dripping blood. I don’t know why, but I feel like something terrible is going to happen. Maybe what I’ve told you is useless. If something terrible happens, no one will survive.”

Ye Wenyan left the Pingxi Palace. She had already heard the news she wanted to find out, and had found the goal of cutting off the iron mine. The next thing to do was to deal with Eunuch Lan.

With the current unusual celestial phenomena, it seemed that the concubine's birthday banquet could not be held. She had to find the Night Flying Boat immediately, and then find a way to go back to the Moon through the secret passage and kill Eunuch Lan.

The Pingxi Palace was very quiet. Except for the necessary guards, almost everyone hid in their rooms and dared not come out.

Ye Hongzhuang also stayed obediently in the room. Regarding the matter of the young master being fed something, King Pingxi originally wanted to settle the score with her, but unfortunately, the sudden astronomical phenomenon made King Pingxi unable to take care of her.

The King of Pingxi couldn't care about her, and Ye Wenyan couldn't care about her either. As I said before, it was meaningless to deal with Ye Hongzhuang now, and everything would be decided after the catastrophe.

If a person dies in a catastrophe, then death is death.

If people survive the catastrophe, we can solve it then.

No one paid attention to where Ye Wenyan was going. Even those people in the kitchen who were familiar with her no longer cared about her.

The blood-red sky looked like it was about to collapse. Everyone was thinking about their own life and death, and no one cared about others.

Even Aunt Zhao had forgotten about Xiao Yaoyao. She just hid in bed, covered her head with the quilt, and trembled as she muttered, "The red ghost is coming, the red ghost is coming!"

The red ghost is coming! Many people on the street are also saying that the red ghost is coming.

Beggars went back and forth, all telling the same story: "The red in the sky is the blood of hell. The ghosts have crawled out of hell and are about to invade the human world. Just wait and see. Now it's just the sky turning red, and soon it will rain red. No, it's blood rain! Once the blood rains, the human world will become hell."

Ye Wenyan walked on the street for a while when someone grabbed her arm. She tilted her head and saw that it was Ye Feizhou.

"Second brother, I got the second five-colored stone. That stone is red, and this abnormal astronomical phenomenon should be related to that stone. Concubine Guiyue told me something. At the other end of the secret passage, there is a eunuch named Lan..."

She simply and quickly told Ye Feizhou everything the concubine had said, and also reminded Ye Feizhou: "The Prince of Pingxi has left the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have gone to the mines."

Ye Feizhou was also very straightforward: "Let's go to the mine too, and follow the people who transport the iron ore to Guiyue. You are right, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is approaching, so we have to hurry. Although Guiyue may not be able to use the weapons made from iron ore, it will have to face the coming of the catastrophe of heaven and earth. But there is always a chance of something happening. What if the catastrophe of heaven and earth does not come? What if Guiyue takes action against Northern Qi in advance? Quan Qingcheng is a really lucky guy. So many people are helping him to sit on the throne. If he still can't sit firmly, then he is stupid." They found two horses on the street. The horse seller asked for five taels of silver and gave them the horses.

The evil ghosts are about to come to the human world. People can’t control them, so how can they control the horses?

The brother and sister mounted their horses, rode out of the city and headed straight for the iron mine.

But I met the woman from the tent area on the way.

She was with a group of officials, and they were talking to each other.

Ye Wenyan slowed down the horse and carefully identified the clothes of the officials. He soon realized that they were not officials at all, but soldiers from the Pingxi Palace.

They also heard the woman saying to them, "I have solid evidence that the King of Pingxi is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. Why don't you find out the truth and arrest me instead? Where are you taking me? I won't go to Tianshui City. I don't trust the government."

The palace soldiers sneered, "You can't go wherever you want. What about the King of Pingxi colluding with the enemy and treason? We have been keeping an eye on you for half a year. You thought you were hiding so well, but you have been under our surveillance for a long time. Woman, you are still too naive. You want to play this game, but you don't even look at what we do. Who can you beat?

Besides, even if the King of Pingxi really did commit treason, what does it have to do with you? What's the difference between being a Northern Qi or a Guiyue? In my opinion, Guiyue is better than Northern Qi. The little emperor of Northern Qi hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and natural disasters have been happening since he ascended the throne. It's probably because God doesn't like him."

"That's right. These days, whoever gives you milk is your mother. Guiyue gives us food to eat, and we are happy to be her dogs."

Ye Wenyan was puzzled, "Gui Yue gave them food?"

Ye Feizhou snorted coldly, "I heard about this. It is said that after the snowstorm last summer, Guiyue gave Tianshui City some relief grain. But it was not good grain, but rotten grain that was damp, moldy and bitten by rats. The court had opened the granary to release the grain, but the grain released from the granary was taken to Guiyue by the King of Pingxi. Guiyue sent some rotten grain in return and bought people's hearts by saying that under the natural disaster, the Northern Qi court ignored the people of Tianshui City, but Guiyue took them to heart.

The food ensured the lives of some people, but many more people became sick and died because of the bad food. "
