No one in this city, shrouded in the smell of death, died anymore.

The Demon Sect didn't kill anymore.

He was so tired that he needed a rest, and he needed a quiet time for him to think in peace.

He could only cut off Yuwen Hunt's control over him now, and at the same time suppress the Devouring of the Heavenly Mandate Blood Box on him.

He needed to find a safe place to retreat, to have more insight into the qi in his body, and to completely solve the threat posed to him by the Heavenly Destiny Blood Box.

The most important thing is that he wants to know what is going on in Luoyang, and he needs to figure out what kind of opponent he is facing.

Not only Yuwen Hunt and those descendants of the Emperor You, but he now even felt that the Bright Holy Sect back then might not be as simple as he imagined, and perhaps even Wu Guzhi had enough secrets to threaten him.

He once thought that he was standing in the sky, and he was already looking down on the earth.

But apparently not.

The people on the walls of Shangqiu City were terrified.

Everyone felt that they were afraid that they had made a mistake, and they were afraid that the Demon Sect would directly cross this city to kill the Northern Wei Emperor, who was not far from Shangqiu.

Beacon fires were lit on the city walls, and the sound of arrows and birds breaking through the air was constantly sounding.

It wasn't until a long time later that the continuous transmission of military information made these people on the Shangqiu city wall feel a little calmer, and many of them lost their strength and sat down on the ground limply.

The Demon Sect did not go to kill the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty arrived in Shangqiu, the Demon Sect did not show any more traces.

Soon after, a sad piece of news reached Shangqiu.

In the early hours of the morning, when everyone's attention was attracted by the Demon Sect, a powerful assassin entered the palace, and although the assassin was also killed, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty was assassinated by the assassin and left this world.

When he heard the news, the Northern Wei Emperor did not say anything.

He just hung his head quietly.

He was in some pain.

Some of them are unspeakably sad.

In fact, he couldn't clearly perceive some of the vitality fluctuations in Luoyang City like the Demon Sect, but when the great array of the imperial palace in Luoyang City was launched, he knew that his beloved queen mother was about to leave this world.

Life and death, many things are inevitable in the world.

And he knows better than anyone that from a lot

Since years ago, his queen mother has been worried about something like this happening today, and she has been preparing... Prepare for the truly formidable enemies in the shadows to manifest.

When such a large array in the palace was launched, he knew that she had chosen her heir, and that she had made a real farewell.

He knew that such a day would come at any time, and he had even been mentally prepared for many years, but when this day really came, he still couldn't help the pain.

......

The imperial palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty was already preparing for later generations.

Even if the shadow of the Demon Sect is still shrouded in Shangqiu and Luoyang, in everyone's hearts, it seems that the Demon Sect may come out of a shadow at any time, but the funeral for the Empress Dowager is still going on in an orderly manner.

Many people are busy.

The body of the Queen Mother has been gathered.

Obviously the heir of the old woman's last choice, the inheritor of her true power, but Helan Heiyun stood in this dilapidated garden, watching those people come and go, she felt like a passer-by who had nothing to do with it.

Until an old palace maid came to her side.

This old palace maid was not even a cultivator, so although she was really more than twenty years younger than the Empress Dowager, she looked even older than the previous Empress Dowager.

She was a little old and trembling, and it seemed that when she went to bed one day, she would suddenly not wake up and leave this world silently.

But her demeanor was very dignified.

Her every movement seemed very regular.

She respected Helan Heiyun very much, and when she arrived at Helan Heiyun's head, she bowed seriously and said respectfully: "You can leave, I will arrange the things here." ”

Helan Heiyun knew this palace maid.

Almost all the important people in the palace, even those hidden cultivators, were no secret to her before.

This palace maid is one of the two palace maids who have been following the Queen Mother, and now she is the only one.

The other had died of old age in the previous years.

"Rest assured. ”

The old palace maid looked at Helan Heiyun silently, and said: "Before a person dies, it is a major event, and after a person dies, it is an ordinary thing, and I will not make a mistake if I do things according to the rules of etiquette." Miss didn't explain anything special before, so she shouldn't have anything special to tell you, and there is nothing else to hand over to you. ”

Helan black clouds are sinking again

After a few breaths of silence, she listened to the palace maid call the empress dowager a young lady, and knew that in this world, in addition to the old palace maid in front of her, only the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty could know many of the empress dowager's past.

She wanted to know something, so she looked at the old palace maid and asked softly, "What kind of person is she?"

The old palace maid is indeed a little too old, her eyes are a little flowery, and in addition to comprehending the meaning of the queen mother, she is actually not good at observing words and feelings, so she doesn't understand what Helan Heiyun refers to at this time.

"What she passed on to me is a treasure that the Yuan family got many years ago, she is a woman married by the first emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although she is also a descendant of the tribe who migrated to the Northern Wei Dynasty with the Yuan family back then, but how could the Yuan family hand over this treasure to her?" Helan Heiyun looked at the old palace maid who was a little stunned and asked.

"Miss is a very powerful person, she can memorize any book after reading it once, and she can memorize those awkward scriptures. The old palace maid's wrinkled face showed a look of pride that could not be concealed, and her dim eyes shone brightly, covering up her sadness, "But the first emperor was also very good to her, originally she was unwilling to marry the first emperor, but once she was in danger, the first emperor even rushed over first, and then he almost died." But the reason why the treasure you said came into her hands, Miss also told me once, she said that the reason why she was able to become the person of the Yuan family, the person who was in charge of the most important things of the Yuan family, was because the first emperor felt that she was the kind of person who had no requirements for herself and others. If it weren't for the Emperor Xian's request for her to keep and use this thing, I don't think the young lady would have looked down on this thing. ”

"I don't have any requirements for others or for myself...."

An indescribable wry smile appeared on Helan Heiyun's face.

The old palace maid's attitude now is similar to that of the young lady she said.

Until now, they didn't ask her to do anything at all, just told her that she could leave.

"Was this your ploy, or did you see me like this from the beginning?"

Such a voice sounded in Helan Heiyun's heart.

She turned her head to look at the temple where the old woman's body was kept, and bowed her head again sadly.

"You passed this magic weapon to me like this, and you didn't make any demands on me, and you didn't want me to help you continue to protect the Northern Wei Dynasty... But how could I not do anything for you?"
