Chapter 172 Heavenly Emperor
Tanlang didn't know how many hole cards Runyu had in his hands, and felt a little flustered, but he still pretended to be nonchalant.
"Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. A humble official walks upright, sits upright, and fears nothing."
Runyu had no intention of entangled with him: "Come here, put the greedy wolf into the prison, cut off the immortal steps, and strictly guard it."
Two teams of guards filed in, Tanlang held his head high and said solemnly: "You all go away, I will go by myself."
All the immortals were horrified and watched Tanlang leave.Runyu asked, "Are you still dissatisfied?"
Lord Big Dipper has always been led by Tanlang, now that Tanlang is in prison, naturally no one speaks out.Si Ming Xingjun gritted his teeth, stepped forward to express his loyalty, and said, "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for being foolish! I beg Your Majesty to open the treasure box and make public the list of people in the heaven who have colluded with foreign enemies, so as to serve as an example to others!"
The Six Star Kings of Nandou knelt down in unison: "I beg Your Majesty to open the treasure box and make public the list of people in the heaven who have been illicit with foreign enemies!"
Runyu looked around, and saw many panic-stricken people among the immortals, some of them had pale faces, and sighed silently in their hearts.
He has read all the materials Kuang Lu compiled for him.Among these collaborators, the positions are different, and the relationship is intricate. Some take the initiative to seek refuge in Yun?|, some just wait and see, and some are threatened to participate because of some trivial matters.Now that the enemy is present, it is not a good time to identify them one by one and clean them up wantonly.
Ordinary people think that the superior person is omnipotent, but Runyu knows that the superior person has to endure the unbearable even more than ordinary people.
Runyu cleared her throat: "Shangyuan Xingjun, pass on my oral order to destroy all the dreams in the box. This matter will be revealed."
Surprised, Kuang Lu raised her head and met Runyu's eyes, and immediately understood his intentions.
Si Ming couldn't figure out the truth of Runyu's words for a while, and tentatively said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why are you so tolerant towards these people?"
Runyu got up, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The heavens were originally governed by the Shangqing Heaven, and most of the immortals in the heavens have relatives and friends who work in the Shangqing Heaven. Now the situation forces them to belong to two factions, but the law is no exception. There is nothing wrong with being in touch occasionally. What's more, Yun? | The troops led by the Qing Dynasty are twice the size of the heavens. Even this seat is worried about the future, let alone you? Since this seat has destroyed this evidence , will let the past go, and will never use this as a reason to liquidate in the future."
The immortals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they saw Runyu change the subject: "It is a serious crime to have an affair with a foreign enemy. I am lenient today, and I hope you can correct your mistakes. But the heavens have their own rules. Let's hope From now on, all the loves will do their best to defend against the enemy, and don't have any second thoughts. If there is another crime, don't blame me for being merciless!"
All the immortals knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, we swear our allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"

The night was dark and the wind was high, Tanlang was sitting in the sky prison, meditating quietly, a black shadow flashed past, and the barrier at the door was instantly broken.He opened his eyes.
"It is a great honor for Tanlang to have the emperor come here in person."
The black shadow stopped in front of him, and stretched out a hand: "Where is the thing I want?"
Tanlang asked back: "Isn't the emperor going to rescue me first?"
Yun?| said: "You hand over the military deployment map of the heavens, and I will rescue you."
Tanlang couldn't help laughing: "If I hand over the defense plan now, I'm afraid I'll be your dead soul soon. Does the emperor think me Tanlang as a fool?"
Yun?|Squinted his eyes: "I broke the barrier, and Runyu will soon know that I can't stay here for too long. The Tiangong is heavily guarded, and it is absolutely impossible to rescue you tonight. You first hide your things Tell me where you are, and I will save you when I turn around."
He emphasized his tone: "Since Runyu didn't execute you in the first place, she probably won't execute you now. The two armies are at war, and you will be safer staying in the prison. When I defeat Runyu and rule the heavens, you will see the light of day again."
Greedy Wolf had no choice but to approach Yun?|'s ear and whispered, "I put the deployment map of the troops on..."
After he finished speaking, he said earnestly: "Dijun, you must remember..."
A sharp knife pierced his inner alchemy.His eyes widened incredulously.
"You want to say that even if I don't want to save you, there's no point in killing you, right?"
Yun?|Take out a handkerchief, and gracefully wipe the blood from his hand.
"If I don't kill you, Runyu will definitely interrogate you when I turn back. With his intelligence, if he guesses from the clues that you gave me the defense map, and then adjusts the strength of the troops, wouldn't this map become a piece of cake?" A scrap of paper?"
Tanlang fell to the ground, his eyes were still round, and he did not rest in peace.
"Only the dead can best keep secrets."
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
According to the records of the historians of the heavens, this battle can be regarded as a rather strange war in the history of the Six Realms.
Yun?|Leading a million-strong army, lying down day and night, going up the River of Forgetfulness, driving straight in along the way, avoiding all heavily guarded places in the heavenly realm, as if there were no one on the way, and before the heavenly realm reacted, they Has reached outside the palace of heaven.
Outside the camp, the cold wind was blowing to the bones, and the clouds? | Standing outside the tent in a big cloak, looking at the heavenly palace on the opposite bank, which was lingering and faintly visible, suddenly called out.
"Night Sail."
Ye Fan bowed to the side and saluted: "Emperor, what are your orders?"
Yun? | Frowning slightly: "I always feel that something is wrong."
Ye Fan asked: "Where is the emperor referring to?"
Yun?| said: "Don't you think our victory was a bit too easy?"
Ye Fan said: "Could it be that the emperor suspects that the troop deployment plan handed over by Tanlang is fake?"
Yun?| shook his head and said: "That's not true. I have studied that map carefully. Due to its important status, the military deployment map has always been made of special materials and craftsmanship. It’s impossible to be so realistic. However, even if we follow the instructions in the picture and choose the weakest place of the heavenly guard to move forward, it shouldn’t be so smooth.”
Ye Fan said: "The Emperor is afraid that Runyu has set up an ambush in the Heavenly Palace?"
He observed Yun?|'s expression, and suggested: "If the emperor is worried, why not let me lead a small team, as a forward, to inquire about the military situation first."
Yun?| stared at him for a while and said, "I'll go by myself."
Ye Fan said seriously: "The emperor is the commander of our army, how can he take risks easily, if there is an accident, millions of soldiers will have no leader, what should we do?"
Yun? | Smiled, stretched out his hand and took out an imperial edict with a big seal on it, and handed it to Ye Fan: "Take it."
Ye Fan took it in doubt, looked carefully, and knelt down in shock.
"Emperor, this is impossible!"
Yun? | asked back: "Why not?"
Ye Fan was sweating profusely on his head, he was not sure about Yun?|What was the meaning of this move, he was speechless for a while.
Yun? | Sighed: "You don't think that at this moment, I am still testing you."
Ye Fan kowtowed and said, "I dare not!"
Yun?|The expression is indistinguishable, complicated but calm: "I know, you have always complained about me, you think I am harsh to you, beat and scold you frequently, use you while suppressing you everywhere, but is that so?"
Ye Fan kowtowed repeatedly, but did not dare to answer.
Yun?|Looking at him, but it seems that he is not looking at him, as if he sees the shadow of another person through him.
"Your talent is the highest among the people of the fox clan that I have seen for so many years. What's even more rare is that you are ambitious and ruthless enough, compared to mine..."
He paused, not knowing whether it was hatred or pain in his eyes.
"It's much better than my indecisive, emotional brother."
He stretched out his hand to help Ye Fan up: "We have the upper hand in this battle, so we should be sure. For some reason, I can't sleep well these days. After thinking about it, I have to write this edict first. If I go out After everything is done, I will be able to feel at ease when you will succeed me as the emperor of Shangqingtian."
Ye Fan said cautiously: "Dijun Jiren has his own aura, so there is no need to worry too much."
Yun?|Waved his hand: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and life and death are even more momentary on the battlefield. Anything can happen. But, in exchange, I want you to promise me to do one thing."
Ye Fan asked, "What is it?"
Yun?|Sternly said: "There are less than [-] people of my fox clan, who live in Qingqiu, most of them are old and weak, and the young children among them are not very spiritual, and their intelligence is mediocre, and there is no one who is outstanding. , if a foreign race invades, there will be no resistance. I want you to swear that no matter where you are, you will do your best to protect them and not let them be displaced and bullied by foreign races, can you do it?"
Ye Fan kowtowed again: "Ye Fan will do his best to live up to the Emperor's trust!"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
It's night, Yun? | An internal meeting was held, and it was proposed that since the gate of Tiangong was always closed and there was no response, he would personally lead [-] vanguard troops to Tiangong to find out the truth. This move was unanimously opposed by Qinglong and Xuanwu. The opposition was particularly fierce.Qinglong and Yefan have always been at odds, Yefan taunted Qinglong, accusing Qinglong of being greedy for life and fear of death, Qinglong was furious, and asked Ying to lead the soldiers.
Qinglong sneaked into the Tiangong overnight with [-] soldiers, but unexpectedly, there was no news of it.Yun?|Sent spies to inquire again, only to know that Runyu spent a lot of manpower as early as the beginning of the war, and set up an enchantment around the Tiangong. With the teleportation spell developed by Kuang Lu, anyone who stepped into the enchantment would be killed. He was directly sent to the dark prison of Tiangong, and his life and death were unknown.
When the news came, everyone in Shangqingtian couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay.Cloud?|The second meeting was held overnight.
At the meeting, a high god shook his head and said: "This is the first time I've heard of such tactics. Could it be that we have nothing to do?"
Xuanwu thought for a moment, and said: "Since we know that those who go will never return, we can't send soldiers rashly. Anyway, apart from the Tiangong, the other places in the heaven are already under our control. Why don't we just surround the Tiangong?" Wait, Runyu, he can't keep shrinking like this. After a few months of consumption, the hearts of the people in Tiangong will be scattered, and we will win without fighting."
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, he got up and objected: "The Superintendent's words are wrong, this is the heaven, not the world, even if we besiege them for hundreds of years, there will be no danger of food shortage. But if we really If you stay here and don't come back, what should you do if there is an accident in Shangqingtian?"
Xuanwu refused to accept, and still needs to refute, Yun? | patted the table: "Stop."
The two stopped talking.
Yun?| asked: "Ye Fan, you have been in the heaven for a long time, how many people can be accommodated in the prison of the heaven?"
Ye Fan thought for a while and said, "According to my understanding, the maximum is one hundred thousand."
Yun?| said gloomyly: "Since the barrier cannot be broken for a while, then send [-] soldiers to attack Tiangong."
Xuanwu said: "My lord, even if we fill up the dungeons in the heavens, Runyu can push these soldiers down to Zhuxiantai, and then empty the dungeons."
Ye Fan interrupted and said, "Emperor, in my humble opinion, now that most of the heavens are already under our control, we will directly send soldiers to capture the Sanxian civilians from all over the heavens and throw them into the barrier. Yu's personality will definitely not kill these people. What does the emperor think?"
Yun? | clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, I will do as you said!"
The next day, Ye Fan led the army of Shangqingtian, searched for Sanxian and civilians in the heavens, and after capturing them, sent soldiers to escort them and throw them into the barrier.
Originally, the army of Shangqingtian had not encountered resistance all the way since it entered the heaven, but Yun?|'s actions immediately aroused public anger.Ye Fan deliberately allowed the soldiers to plunder wantonly. Although those Sanxian dared not resist openly, they secretly fought against the army of Shangqingtian.
Yun?|Lots of soldiers were lost, worried that the heavens would be out of control, and they couldn't capture and kill all these loose immortals, so they had to put their troops into the monitoring of the heavenly loose immortals.As a result, the troops were dispersed a lot.
Xuan Wu is a man who has led soldiers for a long time, he saw that this was wrong, but he had no choice but to help Ye Fan with it, hoping to get rid of that unbreakable barrier quickly.
He has always been suspicious of Ye Fan, insisting that the two of them go together so that he can be monitored at any time.Unexpectedly, the daring "San Xian" tried to attack Ye Fan, but accidentally injured him, and then fled, Ye Fan sent people everywhere to arrest him.Xuanwu was seriously injured, Ye Fan reported back to Yun, asked him to return to Shangqingtian to recuperate temporarily, and not to participate in the war again.
In this way, under the "concerted efforts" of everyone in Shangqingtian, finally, ten days later, Yun?| led the army and began to attack Tiangong aggressively.
