Chapter 56: Dragon's Roar [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"What a beautiful snowfall!"

In front of the window, the graceful and charming lady smiled and retracted her gaze, then turned to the empress behind her and instructed:
"I heard that you've been studying hard these past two days. You don't have to work so hard. You should go out for a walk. If you're afraid of the cold, put on more clothes. This will activate your meridians and benefit your body and mind."

"..."

The empress nodded with a somewhat depressed look.

"what happened?"

The woman came over and touched her face, her fox eyes showing concern:

"You look listless. Tell your aunt if you have anything to make you unhappy."

"..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across the empress's face, and then she went over to hug her and said, "Aunt, let me make it clear first, I am not on Wei Mingqi's side."

"Uh-huh--"

"No matter how beneficial Jin Liancheng's actions are to us, he is still just a regicide. Giving him a title would be like buying a horse's bones with a lot of gold. Auntie, you put the key point of the West Palace under his control. I think it's inappropriate after thinking about it."

When she finished speaking with a worried look on her face, the woman's smile faded a little, she reached out and pulled the empress into her arms and whispered:

"My aunt knows this, but our dynasty has only had one regent since its founding 200 years ago. The rest are just circumstances and interests. No matter who it is, as long as he is useful and valuable, he should be used. As long as you don't give him the opportunity to betray you, he will always be a loyal minister."

"But how can we not give others this opportunity? This is the most difficult thing."

"Checks and balances, only checks and balances."

The graceful and charming voice became a little colder invisibly as she said:
"It's like Wei Mingqi. With his lawless personality, will he accept if there's suddenly someone above him? As long as he doesn't accept it, the two will check and balance each other."

"There are only him and Lord Wan's people in the West Mansion now. You know the relationship between the two. So if Jin Liancheng wants to make a difference after entering the West Mansion, he can only rely on the palace. This is the dog leash in our hands. As long as the leash is not broken, Jin Liancheng can only work hard for us honestly."

"..."

The empress listened in a daze. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, and it was even very clever.

"rest assured."

The aunt in front of her comforted her again: "If anything really happens, Wan Gong will cover it up, and nothing will go wrong."

"...Aunt, I don't think it's right."

The empress raised her eyes and blinked: "Let's not talk about Jin Liancheng for now. Wei Mingqi doesn't look like someone who is willing to be a dog leash."

The traitor would take advantage of her discomfort in the winter and pin her down in the snow and beat her like a "desperado" who couldn't stand the slightest bit of anger.

A sneer sounded in front of him.

"That's not up to him."

The beautiful lady in palace dress narrowed her eyes and said schemingly:

"The imperial court is not a martial arts world. How can there be so many things you want and don't want, can and can't do? Since you are wearing this official uniform, you have to--"

Boom!

A muffled thunder in the distance interrupted her confident words. Only a moment later, a gust of light snow blew in from outside the window.

"Holy Queen, Your Majesty——"

The old woman suddenly came out from the darkness and said in a serious voice: "Something is wrong outside! It seems someone is trying to break in."

The beautiful lady in palace dress stood up immediately, walked to the window and looked out: "Which door did it come from? Where is Lord Wan now?"

"Looking at the energy wave, it should be coming from the Suzaku Gate. The two people fighting are at least masters of the eighth realm. No, even masters of the eighth realm can hardly have such momentum."

"..."

The face of the beautiful lady in palace dress suddenly turned ugly.

Suzaku Gate? Isn't that the place where Jin Liancheng worships the heaven? There was a sound of fighting over there, and it was obvious that Jin Liancheng had a conflict with someone.

Wanren Mountain?
Southwest?
still--

Wei Mingqi?
The beautiful lady in palace dress was just thinking to herself when suddenly a long column of dust rose up in the distance. Then, with the naked eye, a semicircular translucent air wave pushed away the snow in the sky and it "reached" this side in just one or two breaths.

Boom—the old woman reacted quickly and turned half her body to block the snow for her. Then a deafening thunderclap was heard slowly, mixed with the roar of strange creatures.

"hold head high--"

"..."

After the shock, the beautiful lady in palace dress had a pair of fox eyes that were obviously distracted for a moment:
"What's that sound? Is it a dragon's roar?"

"Holy Queen, Your Majesty - please go first."

The old woman's face was solemn and cold: "The person who came is not trivial. I will take you two to the underground palace first, and wait for Lord Wan and the imperial guards to finish the matter outside before coming out."

She said nothing, but it seemed like she said everything.

The beautiful lady in palace dress nodded and looked at the empress: "Tongtong, there is no heating dragon in the underground palace. Go to the inner room and get a cloak."

"it is good……"

After Empress Wu Tongtong left temporarily.

"Grandma Qian."

The beautiful lady in palace dress turned her gaze towards the old woman with a serious look:

"If the situation is critical, you must take the emperor away first."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the old woman bowed and said, "If it really comes to that, I will fight to the death to protect Your Majesty."

Neither of them said anything to comfort him.

The combination of the person who violated the palace and the sound of the dragon's roar can't help but make people think too much.

In the palace.

Empress Wu Tongtong picked up her warm cloak and looked towards the direction of the Suzaku Gate, which was filled with dust, wind and snow, with a little concern for others in her heart.

Unlike her aunt, as soon as a fight broke out over there, Wu Tongtong knew that it must be Wei Mingqi who was fighting again. That's just his nature.

To put it nicely, it's called "rather break than bend"; to put it bluntly, it's called "iron-headed kid".

He taught himself the last word.

Thinking of what her aunt had said before, Wu Tongtong couldn't help biting her lower lip.

Facing this kind of "monkey kid", the so-called "checks and balances" and "dog leash" are all bullshit. Once the "monkey kid" gets angry, there's no need to talk about the leash.

The pots and bowls were all smashed by you.

Disciple of Suzaku.

With the big spear in hand, Wei Mingqi leaned down the wall, his footsteps tapping on the surface of the wall. From a distance, he looked like a kite flipping over or a gecko climbing over the wall.

Thump! Thump! Thump——

Along with the footsteps, there was a 'knocking' sound from the acupoints in the body, which lasted for seven times. In an instant, the blood and energy that could wrestle with a dragon and an elephant surged, and the spear in his hand seemed to become as light as a wheat straw!
boom!
When he was almost at the wall, suddenly a black shadow rushed over from a distance, and the tip of the air wave hit him directly in front of him!
Wei Mingqi lightly kicked his feet off the ground, then tightened his waist and abdomen in mid-air, and the large spear in his hand whistled and bent into a long semicircular "bow".

Boom——

A teeth-grinding trembling sound was heard, and sparks flew from the spear shaft between the scales. Jin Liancheng, who was trying to attack him halfway, was hit hard by the spear shaft, and it was like a cannonball fired down to the city, "blasting" a hole several feet big on the white marble slab!
Hey!
Wei Mingqi rolled over to the ground and raised his hand to look at his injured knuckles. The spear in his hand was even worse, having been bent to almost ninety degrees.

"Dragon head——"

The man on the wall shouted, and the wind blew behind him. Wei Mingqi caught the new spear without looking back, and then threw away the previous one-time anti-dragon weapon, looking at the big pit under the city filled with dust and smoke.

"Cough-cough-"

Hearing the sound, Wei Mingqi felt relieved.

Sure, I can kill him today.
